Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiary, BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. (“BlockSafe”). BlockSafe is owned 49% by the Company and 31% by three executive officers of the Company, which combined represents an 80% controlling interest in BlockSafe. Accordingly, BlockSafe is consolidated by the Company. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. At March 31, 2019, noncontrolling interests represents 51% of BlockSafe that the Company does not directly own.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,314,574 and used cash in operating activities of $446,791 and at March 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $14,595,184 and a stockholders’ deficit of $14,536,292. In addition, the Company is in default on notes payable and convertible notes payable in the aggregate amount of $3,076,924. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
At March 31, 2019, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $100,869. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company issued one unsecured convertible promissory note for $73,000. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to implement its business plan. Currently, management is attempting to increase revenues by selling through a channel of distributors, value added resellers, strategic partners and original equipment manufacturers. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase its customer base and realize increased revenues. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stock holders, in the case of equity financing.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to accounting for financing obligations, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, and accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from sales and support of our software products.
Revenue primarily consists of sales of software licenses of our ProtectID®, GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products. We recognize revenue from these arrangements ratably over the contractual service period. For service contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized, as services are rendered.
The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.
Cost of revenue includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.
The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by major product and service lines:

Leases
Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840,
Accounting for Leases
. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842,
Leases,
which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The implementation of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and did not have a significant impact on our liquidity or on our compliance with our financial covenants associated with our loans. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected to exclude from its balance sheets recognition of leases having a term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) and elected to not separate lease components and non-lease components for its long-term leases. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At January 1, 2019, the Company had no leases that required recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets or liabilities for operating leases upon adoption of ASC 842. On January 31, 2019, the Company commenced a lease that resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $214,272, and liabilities for operating leases of $214,272 (see Note 6).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
The Company is required to use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, and notes payables approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s balance sheet includes Level 3 liabilities comprised of the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities of $1,682,259 and $1,313,904, respectively (see Note 5). These embedded derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the estimated fair value of our embedded derivative during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the dilutive impact of stock options exercisable into 259,500,002 and 259,000,001 shares of common stock, respectively, convertible Series B Preferred stock that can convert into 10,915,572 and 6,045,987 shares of common stock, respectively, and notes payable that can convert into 103,056,452 and 19,714,918 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
Concentrations
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, sales to three customers comprised 45%, 29% and 17% of revenues, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, sales to three customers comprised 61%, 22% and 11% of revenues, respectively. At March 31, 2019, one customer comprised 78% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2018, two customers comprised 68% and 12% of accounts receivable, respectively.
The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. At March 31, 2019, the Company did not have cash deposits that exceeded the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the financial institution.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets , including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model , under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $542,588 of notes payables are due to DART/Citco Global. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on adjustable conversion prices, are secured by all of the Company’s assets, were due in 2010, and are currently in default. Beginning in 2009, the note holder agreed to the forbearance of any further interest on the notes payable to DART/Citco Global.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, convertible notes payable with fixed conversion features (“fixed convertible notes”) consisted of 13 unsecured convertible notes convertible. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 8% to 18% per annum, were due on various dates from March 2008 to March 2015, and are currently in default. At December 31, 2018, the balance of the accrued interest on the fixed convertible notes was $1,079,764. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, interest of $18,526 was accrued. At March 31, 2019, the balance of accrued interest on the fixed convertible notes was $1,098,290.

|
|

|

At December 31, 2018, there were $695,000 of convertible notes with adjustable conversion features outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, convertible notes for $354,000 were issued, and convertible notes for $260,000 were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2019, the balance of the convertible notes with adjustable conversion features was $789,000.
|
|
|
|
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued four convertible notes payable with adjustable conversion features to one lender for aggregate proceeds of $354,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and maturing through March 2020. At the option of the holder, each of the notes is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share discount of 58% of the lowest closing market price of the Company’s common stock during the twenty days preceding a conversion notice. The variable conversion price is not considered predominately based on a fixed monetary amount settleable with a variable number of shares due to the volatility and trading volume of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the convertible notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The Company determined that upon issuance of the convertible notes between January 2019 and March 2019, the initial fair value of the embedded conversion feature totaled $551,047 (see Note 5), of which $354,000 was recorded as debt discount offsetting the face amount of the convertible notes, and the remainder of $197,047 was recorded as private placement costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the note holder elected to convert three notes totaling $260,000 plus interest of $16,111 (total of $276,111) into 73,442,605 shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.0025 to $0.0087 per share. On the dates of conversion, the closing price of the Company’s common stock ranged from $0.0052 to $0.0178 per share, or total fair value of shares of $579,166. The Company followed the general extinguishment model to record the settlement of the debt. The debt and accrued interest totaled $276,111, the related unamortized discount totaled ($125,982), and the shares issued were measured at their fair value of $579,166. The difference of $429,037 was recorded as loss on settlement of debt. In addition, the bifurcated conversion option derivatives, after a final mark-up to $343,068, were removed and recorded as a gain on extinguishment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At December 31, 2018, the balance of unamortized discount on convertible notes with adjustable conversion features was $521,763. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, debt discount of $354,000 was recorded, debt discount amortization of $179,441 was recorded, $125,982 of debt discount was removed related to debt that was converted. At March 31, 2019, the balance of the unamortized discount was $570,340.
|
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accrued interest due for all convertible notes was $1,120,442 and $1,099,005, respectively, and is included in accrued interest in the accompanying balance sheets. Interest expense for all convertible notes payable for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $37,550 and $18,954, respectively.

At December 31, 2018, BlockSafe (see Note 1) had $775,500 of outstanding unsecured promissory notes, bearing interest at 8% per annum, and maturing through September 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $5,000 of unsecured promissory notes were paid, and note holders agreed to exchange $255,500 of principal into a financing obligation (see Note 4). At March 31, 2019, the balance of the unsecured promissory notes was $515,000. At March 31, 2019, $350,000 of the unsecured promissory notes were in default.

At December 31, 2018, the balance of the accrued interest on the unsecured promissory notes was $46,388. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $14,818 of interest was accrued and $16,570 of accrued interest was converted into a financing obligation (See Note 4). At March 31, 2019, accrued interest on the unsecured promissory notes was $44,636.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accrued interest due for all notes payable above was $2,101,371 and $2,061,686, respectively, and is included in accrued interest in the accompanying balance sheets. Interest expense for notes payable for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $39,685 and $46,500, respectively.
Note 4 – Financing Obligation
In 2018, BlockSafe issued promissory notes to nineteen unrelated parties aggregating $775,500. As part of each promissory note agreement BlockSafe agreed to pay a financing obligation to the note holders equal to the note principal in cryptocurrency tokens to be issued by BlockSafe. In addition, in December 2018, BlockSafe agreed to issue cryptocurrency tokens to an unrelated party for receipt of $50,000.
At December 31, 2018, the total of the financing obligation for BlockSafe was $825,500. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, BlockSafe agreed to issue cryptocurrency tokens to four unrelated parties for receipt of $112,500. In addition, holders of unsecured promissory notes issued by BlockSafe agreed to exchange $255,500 principal and $16,570 of accrued interest into the financing obligation to be paid by cryptocurrency tokens to be issued by BlockSafe. At March 31, 2019, the financing obligation was $1,210,070.
At March 31, 2019 and through the date of filing, BlockSafe has not developed or issued any cryptocurrency tokens and there is no assurance as to whether, or at what amount, or on what terms, tokens will be available to be issued, if ever. At March 31, 2019, as the tokens do not exist yet, and were not considered equity, management determined that 100% of the obligation of $1,210,070 is probable of being a liability to be settled by BlockSafe, through the issuance of tokens, or through other means if tokens are never issued, and therefore recorded the financing obligation.
Note 5 – Derivative Financial Instruments
At March 31, 2019, the Company had convertible promissory notes outstanding that are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at price per share discounts ranging from 20% to 58% of the Company’s common stock market price, as defined in the note agreements. As the ultimate determination of shares to be issued upon conversion of these notes could exceed the current number of available authorized shares, the Company determined that the conversion features of the convertible notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the conversion features of the notes were separated from the host contracts (i.e. the notes) and characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
At December 31, 2018, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $1,313,904. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded additions of $551,047 related to the conversion features of notes issued during the period (see Note 2), and an increase in fair value of derivatives of $160,376. In addition, the Company recorded a decrease in derivative liability of $343,068 related to derivative liabilities that were extinguished. At March 31, 2019, the balance of the derivative liabilities was $1,682,259.
The derivative liability was valued at the following dates using a probability weighted Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining terms of the related notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.
Note 6 - Operating Lease
In January 2019, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease for its headquarters office requiring payments of $4,409 per month, payments increasing 3% each year, and ending on January 31, 2024. At March 31, 2019, the remaining lease term was 4.85 years. The Company does not have any other leases.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
On June 20, 2016, the Company initiated additional patent litigation against three major competitors in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, for infringement of United States Patent No. 8,484,698. This litigation is ongoing. On March 14, 2017, one of the parties initiated an inter partes review (IPR) (a procedure for challenging the validity of a United States patent before the United States Patent and Trademark Office) against the Company’s second Patent No. 8,484,698.
On March 14, 2017, the Company initiated additional patent litigation against two major competitors in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, for infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701. This litigation is ongoing.
On March 14, 2017, the Company initiated additional patent litigation against two major competitors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, for infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701. This litigation is ongoing. On June 13, 2017, one of the competitors initiated a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for patent infringement (which the Company believes is without merit and will defend vigorously). This litigation is ongoing.
On December 1, 2017, The United States District Court for the Central District of California issued an opinion in the
StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. SecureAuth Corp
. case, which invalidated claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701 under 35 U.S.C. §101. The Company strongly disagrees with the Court’s decision and an appeal has been prepared by the Company’s attorney. The Company has agreed to stay its patent litigations in the District of New Jersey against Centrify Corp. and Duo Security Inc. pending the appeal. The Company believes that the litigations currently pending in the District of Massachusetts should also be stayed pending appeal and is discussing such a motion with the defendants in that case. In February 2019, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a “Rule 36” decision, affirming the District Court’s order, thereby dismissing the Company’s lawsuit on the grounds of 35 U.S.C. #101, a statue that concerns what types of inventions are patentable. The Company plans on working with a patent attorney in order to develop an appropriate course of action relating to this case.
On December 4, 2017,
StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. Trustwave Holdings, Inc.,
Civil Action No. 2:16-cv-03573-JMV-MF which was pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, was settled. Trustwave’s infringing sales were made as an OEM of Duo Security Incorporated. The Company agreed to dismiss its claims against Trustwave because they were essentially duplicative of its claims against Duo Security Incorporated pursuant to
StrikeForce Technologies, Inc
.
v. Duo Security Incorporated
, Civil Action No. 2:16-cv-03571.
Contingent Payment Obligation
On September 6, 2017, the Company entered into a litigation funding agreement with Therium Inc. and VGL Capital, LLC (collectively the “Funders”). Under the agreement, the Company received $1,500,000 from the Funders to allow the Company to pursue patent enforcement actions against infringements of its patents. In exchange, the Funders are entitled to receive, after the payment of legal fees, the first $1,500,000 from the gross proceeds of any claims awarded, 10% of any additional claim proceeds until the Funders have received an additional $7,500,000, and 2.5% of any claim proceeds thereafter. The Funders shall be paid only in the event that the Company achieves recoveries of claim proceeds
Asset Sale and Licensing Agreement
On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Cyber Safety, Inc., a New York corporation (“Cyber Safety”) for Cyber Safety to license, and retain an option to purchase, the patents and intellectual property related to the GuardedID® and MobileTrust® software. Cyber Safety had the option to buy the Company’s GuardedID® patent for $9,000,000 that expired on September 30, 2020. In March 2019, the option to purchase agreement was modified to increase the purchase price to $10,000,000 and extend the expiration date to September 30, 2021. If the purchase price is not paid by September 30, 2021, it will increase to $11,000,000 and be due September 30, 2022. The Company anticipates, but cannot guarantee, Cyber Safety will complete the purchase by September 30, 2021. Cyber Safety will also resell the Company’s GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products, for which the Company will receive a royalty, while the Company retains an unlimited license to resell those products. Cyber Safety also licensed the Malware Suite until September 30, 2020 and agreed to pay the Company 15% to 20% of the net amount Cyber Safety receives from this product. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $70,000 and $0 from Cyber Safety.
Contingent Management Fee
The Company and BlockSafe have a management agreement pursuant to which BlockSafe shall remit a management fee of $36,000 per month to the Company, and when BlockSafe reaches a milestone of $1,000,000 in financing, an additional management fee of $5,000,000 shall be owed to the Company, payable monthly over three years. The management fee is currently eliminated in consolidation.
Note 10 – Subsequent Events
In May 2019, the Company issued one unsecured convertible promissory note aggregating $73,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and maturing in one year through May 2020. The notes are convertible at a 58% discount to the price of the Company’s common stock, as defined.
Subsequent to March 31, 2019, a convertible note holder converted $90,000 of principal and $5,175 of accrued interest into 36,501,734 shares of common stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.0024 to $0.0026 per share.
