NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 201 9 (Unaudited)

1.	NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

The Company, founded in 1993, develops and markets proprietary fingerprint identification biometric technology and software solutions. The Company was a pioneer in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit card, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Additionally, advanced BIO-key® technology has been, and is, used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company” or “BIO-key”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet at June 30, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.

Updated Significant Accounting Policies

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), as amended (ASC 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and classify as either operating or finance leases. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach for all leases entered into before the effective date. Adoption of the ASC 842 had a significant effect on our balance sheet resulting in increased non-current assets and increased current and non-current liabilities. There was no impact to retained earnings upon adoption of the new standard. We did not have any finance leases (formerly referred to as capital leases prior to the adoption of ASC 842), therefore there was no change in accounting treatment required. For comparability purposes, the Company will continue to comply with the previous disclosure requirements in accordance with the existing lease guidance and prior periods are not restated.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us: (1) to carry forward the historical lease classification; (2) not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; and, (3) not to reassess the treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases.

In accordance with ASC 842, at the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present and the classification of the lease including whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset, and whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (ROU) assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less under practical expedient in paragraph ASC 842-20-25-2. For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The implicit rate within our operating leases are generally not determinable and, therefore, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease using our estimated borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization, term and currency to align with the terms of the lease. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives.

An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain we will not exercise the option.

For periods prior to the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded rent expense based on the term of the related lease. The expense recognition for operating leases under ASC 842 is substantially consistent with prior guidance. As a result, there are no significant differences in our results of operations presented.

The impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the balance sheet was:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update to the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities can choose to adopt the ASU 2018-15 prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2018-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), referred to herein as ASU 2016-13, which significantly changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under ASU 2016-13 credit impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis of a financial asset. The impairment allowance is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Once the new pronouncement is adopted by the Company, the allowance for credit losses must be adjusted for management’s current estimate at each reporting date. The new guidance provides no threshold for recognition of impairment allowance. Therefore, entities must also measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. For instance, trade receivables that are either current or not yet due may not require an allowance reserve under currently generally accepted accounting principles, but under the new standard, the Company will have to estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables under ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification

Reclassifications occurred to certain prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year classifications including segregating the hardware revenues. The reclassifications have no effect on the reported net loss.

2.	GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred significant losses to date and at June 30, 2019 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $78 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of the Company’s technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues. At June 30, 2019, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $687,000, as compared to approximately $324,000 at December 31, 2018.

The Company has financed operations in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and through factoring receivables. The Company estimates that it currently requires approximately $537,000 per month to conduct operations, a monthly amount that it has been unable to achieve consistently through revenue generation.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet its goals, it will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute its plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue, and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained by the Company, in order to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

3.	REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

	●	Identify the contract with a customer
	●	Identify the performance obligations in the contract
	●	Determine the transaction price
	●	Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
	●	Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

*EMEA – Europe, Middle East, Africa

All of the Company's performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time, with the exception of support and maintenance, and professional services, which are generally transferred to the customer over time.

Software licenses

Software license revenue consist of fees for perpetual software licenses for one or more of the Company’s biometric fingerprint solutions. Revenue is recognized at a point in time once the software is available to the customer for download. Software license contracts are generally invoiced in full on execution of the arrangement.

Hardware

Hardware revenue consists of fees for associated equipment sold with or without a software license arrangement, such as servers, locks and fingerprint readers. Customers are not obligated to buy third party hardware from the Company, and may procure these items from a number of suppliers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time once the hardware is shipped to the customer. Hardware items are generally invoiced in full on execution of the arrangement.

Support and Maintenance

Support and Maintenance revenue consists of fees for unspecified upgrades, telephone assistance and bug fixes. The Company satisfies its Support and Maintenance performance obligation by providing “stand-ready” assistance as required over the contract period. The Company records deferred revenue (contract liability) at time of invoice until the contracts term occurs. Revenue is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contract term. Support and Maintenance contracts are up to one year in length and are generally invoiced either annually or quarterly in advance.

Professional Services

Professional services revenues consist primarily of fees for deployment and optimization services, as well as training. The majority of the Company’s consulting contracts are billed on a time and materials basis, and revenue is recognized based on the amount billable to the customer in accordance with practical expedient ASC 606-10-55-18. For other professional services contracts, the Company utilizes an input method and recognizes revenue based on labor hours expended to date relative to the total labor hours expected to be required to satisfy its performance obligation.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standalone selling prices are determined based on overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of the contracts, the cloud applications sold, customer demographics, geographic locations, and the number and types of users within the contracts.

The Company considered several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon shipment of hardware and availability of download of software. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, the Company has a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership.

Accounts receivable from customers are typically due within 30 days of invoicing. The Company does not record a reserve for product returns or warranties as amounts are deemed immaterial based on historical experience.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

Costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are predominantly sales commissions earned by the sales force and are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs are deferred and then amortized over a period of benefit determined to be four years. These costs are included as capitalized contract costs on the balance sheet. The period of benefit was determined by taking into consideration customer contracts, technology, and other factors based on historical evidence. Amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $34,000 and $111,000 respectively. The Company did not recognize any revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. Total deferred revenue (contract liability) was $294,261 and $196,609 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as at June 30, 2019. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement, which the Company’s contracts meet as follows:

●

The performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less, in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-14.

At June 30, 2019 deferred revenue represents our remaining performance obligations related to support and maintenance, all of which is expected to be recognized within one year.

4.	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. As a result of the payment delays for a large customer, the Company has reserved $1,720,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which represents 100% of the remaining balance owed under the contract, respectively. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts receivable at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

	June 30,			December 31,
	201 9			201 8

Accounts receivable - current	$	703,685		$	1,587,817
Accounts receivable - non current		1,720,000			1,720,000
Total accounts receivable		2,423,685			3,307,817
Allowance for doubtful accounts - current		(13,785	)		(13,785	)
Allowance for doubtful accounts - non current		(1,720,000	)		(1,720,000	)
Total allowance for doubtful accounts		(1,733,785	)		(1,733,785	)
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts	$	689,900		$	1,574,032

	201 9			201 8

Original invoice value	$	555,075		$	221,120
Factored amount		(416,507	)		(164,438	)
Due from factor	$	138,568		$	56,682

The Company entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”) which has been extended to October 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time, sells to the Factor a minimum of $150,000 per quarter of certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 35% of the foreign and 75% of the domestic accounts receivable balance to the Company (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. In addition, the Company, from time to time, receives over advances from the factor. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored, and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. The cost of factoring is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The cost of factoring was as follows:

	Three Months ended June 30,
	201 9		201 8

Factoring fees	$	39,543	$	12,691

	Six Months ended June 30,
	201 9		201 8

Factoring fees	$	92,340	$	104,214

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or net realizable value, and consists primarily of fabricated assemblies and finished goods. Inventory is comprised of the following as of:

	June 30,		December 31,
	201 9		201 8

Finished goods	$	499,426	$	496,358
Fabricated assemblies		512,277		502,471
Total inventory	$	1,011,703	$	998,829

8.	RESALABLE SOFTWARE LICENSE RIGHTS

On November 11, 2015, the Company entered into a license agreement for the rights to all software and documentation regarding the technology currently known as or offered under the FingerQ name. The license agreement grants the Company the exclusive right to reproduce, create derivative works and distribute copies of the FingerQ software and documentation, create new FingerQ related products, and grant sub-licenses of the licensed technology to end users. The license rights have been granted to the Company in perpetuity, with a stated number of end-user resale sub-licenses allowed under the contract for a total of $12,000,000. The cost of sub-license rights expected to be amortized in the following 12 months is $1,125,000 and is classified as current, with remainder as non-current.

The Company originally determined the software license rights to be a finite lived intangible asset, and estimated that the software license rights shall be economically used over a 10 year period, with a weighting towards the beginning years of that time-frame. The license rights were acquired during the fourth quarter of 2015, but the usage of such rights in the Company’s products was not generally available until January 2017. Accordingly, amortization began in the first quarter of 2017.

Through 2018, the remaining license rights were amortized over the greater of the following amounts: 1) an estimate of the economic use of such license rights, 2) the amount calculated by the straight line method over ten years or 3) the actual cost basis of sales usage of such rights. The Company believes that the economic use model was front-end focused as a majority of the expected up-take of the FingerQ technology was predicted to occur during the first 4-5 years of the 10-year life cycle of the product. Based on current sales trends, the Company now believes future transactions will be more evenly dispersed over the remaining life cycle of the product, indicating that the greater of the straight-line methodology or actual unit cost per license sold will more closely align the expense with the remaining useful life of the product. The change in amortization was effective beginning on January 1, 2019 based on the net remaining software license rights balance. The Company believes categorizing the amortization expense under Cost of Sales more closely reflects the nature of the license right arrangement and the use of the technology.

A total of $281,250 and $660,000 was charged to cost of sales during the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and of this amount $174 and $855, represent the cost basis of the actual sales, respectively. A total of $562,500 and $1,320,000 was expensed during the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and of this amount $350 and $1,441 represent the cost basis of the actual sales, respectively. Since the license purchase, a cumulative amount of $4,761,096 has been charged to cost of sales, with a carrying balance of $7,238,904 as of June 30, 2019.

The Company's change in methodology was determined to be a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. Pursuant to ASC 250-10-45-17 guidance, this accounting change will not be accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment on the statement of operations in the period of change and there will be no retroactive application or restatement of prior periods. Instead, the Company allocates the remaining unamortized balance over the remaining life of the assets using the newly adopted method.

The following compares line items on the statement of operations had the change in amortization methodology not been made:

	As reported			Prior methodology			As reported			Prior methodology
	3 months ended			3 months ended			6 months ended			6 months ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			June 30, 2019
Amortization of software license rights	$	281,076		$	749,826		$	562,150		$	1,499,650
Total operating expenses	$	1,359,888		$	1,828,638		$	3,111,039		$	4,048,539
Operating loss	$	(1,310,931	)	$	(1,779,681	)	$	(3,114,509	)	$	(4,052,009	)
Net loss	$	(1,425,743	)	$	(1,894,493	)	$	(3,229,251	)	$	(4,166,751	)
Basic & diluted loss per share	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.23	)	$	(0.29	)

On December 31, 2015, the Company purchased third-party software licenses in the amount of $180,000 in anticipation of a large pending deployment that has yet to materialize. The Company is amortizing the total cost over the same methodology described above with the greatest of the two approaches being the actual unit cost per license sold. A total of $8,739 and $20,642 was expensed during the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A total of $34,693 and $8,102 (net of credits of $14,400) was expensed during the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since the license purchase, the actual per unit cost (actual usage) of such license rights in the cumulative amount of $100,487 has been charged to cost of sales, with a carrying balance of $79,513 as of June 30, 2019. The Company has classified the balance as non-current until a larger deployment occurs. Software license rights is comprised of the following as of:

	June 30,		December 31,
	201 9		201 8


Current resalable software license rights	$	1,125,000	$	1,125,000
Non-current resalable software license rights		6,193,417		6,790,610
Total resalable software license rights	$	7,318,417	$	7,915,610

9.	Related Party

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received a series of non-interest-bearing advances from an executive officer/director, the Company's principal stockholder, to pay current liabilities. The balance of the advance as at June 30, 2019 was $142,623, and is payable upon demand.

10.	Convertible NOTES PAYABLE

On April 4, 2019, the Company issued a $550,000 secured convertible debenture which matures November 15, 2019 and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The note may be redeemed at any time by payment of a premium to the principal balance starting at 5% and increasing to 25%. The note was issued at approximately 7% ($40,000) original issue discount. Subject to the mutual agreement of the Company and the investor, the Company may purchase two additional $550,000 principal amount note on the same terms after 45 day intervals from the prior issuance, for an additional potential net proceeds of $1,020,000. The convertible note contains anti-dilution protections if the Company issues shares of common stock for less than the conversion price. The convertible note was secured substantially by all the assets of the Company. At the closing, the Company issued 80,000 shares of common stock in payment of a $120,000 commitment fee and is obligated to issue 10,000 shares of common stock monthly in payment of a monthly commitment fee of $15,000 until the earlier of November 1, 2019 or the repayment or conversion of the note.

On June 14, 2019, the Company issued a $157,000 secured 10% convertible redeemable note which matures November 14, 2019 and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The convertible redeemable note contains anti-dilution protections if the Company offers a conversion discount or other more favorable conversion terms while the note is in effect. The note may be redeemed within the first five months by payment of a premium to the principal balance starting at 10% and increasing to 30% of principal plus interest. At the closing, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock in lieu of payment of a $30,000 commitment fee. If the note is repaid prior to the maturity date, 180,000 of the shares shall be returned to the Company.

Both notes were repaid on July 10, 2019.

For the two notes issued during the second quarter of 2019, the Company issued a total of 300,000 shares of common stock, amounting to $450,000 in commitment fees. Of these amounts, $180,000 was recorded as an offset to notes payable – debt issuance costs and is amortized over the life of the loan. The return of commitment fee in amount of $270,000 (180,000 shares) was recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital and shares were returned to the Company on July 10, 2019. The Company also incurred $17,000 of legal fees withheld from proceeds which was also recorded as an offset to notes payable – debt issuance costs and amortized over the life of the loan. Amortization of the debt issuance costs and debt discount are included in interest expense on the statement of operations.

Convertible notes payable, net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs at June 30, 2019 consist of:

Principal amount	$	707,000
Less unamortized debt discount		(24,533	)
Less unamortized debt issuance costs		(140,800	)
Notes payable, net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs	$	541,667

LEASES

The Company’s leases office space in New Jersey, Hong Kong and Minnesota with lease termination dates of 2023, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Minnesota lease is under 12 months, thus classified as short-term and not reported on the balance sheet under ASC 842. The Hong Kong and the New Jersey leases include non-lease components with variable payments.

On commencement of the lease the Company will record an operating ROU asset and corresponding lease liability.

12.	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE - COMMON STOCK (“EPS”)

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net loss available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock.

The reconciliation of the numerator of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows for both of the following three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three Months ended June 30,						Six Months ended June 30,
	201 9			201 8			201 9			201 8
Basic Numerator:

Net loss	$	(1,425,743	)	$	(1,655,465	)	$	(3,229,251	)	$	(3,847,456	)
Convertible preferred stock dividends		-			(41,870	)		-			(198,033	)

OVERVIEW

BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) develops and markets advanced fingerprint biometric identification and identity verification technologies, as well as related identity management and credentialing fingerprint biometric hardware and software solutions. We were pioneers in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit card, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Advanced BIO-key technology has been and is used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics. Our solutions are used by many customers in every sector of our economy including government, retail, healthcare and financial services.

In partnerships with OEMs, integrators, and solution providers, we provide biometric software solutions to private and public sector customers. We provide the ability to positively identify and authenticate individuals before granting access to valuable corporate resources, web portals or applications in seconds. Powered by our patented Vector Segment Technology (VST™), or VST, WEB-key and BSP development kits are fingerprint biometric solutions that provide interoperability with all major reader manufacturers, enabling application developers and integrators to integrate fingerprint biometrics into their applications.

We also develop and distribute hardware components that are used in conjunction with our software, and sell third-party hardware components with our software in various configurations required by our customers. Our products are interoperable with all major fingerprint reader and hardware manufacturers and across Windows, Linux, and the Android mobile operating systems enabling application developers, value added resellers, and channel partners to integrate our fingerprint biometrics into their applications, while dramatically reducing maintenance, upgrade and life-cycle costs.

We support industry standards, such as FIDO, BioAPI, and have received National Institute of Standards and Technology independent laboratory certification of our ability to support Homeland Security Presidential Directive #12 (HSPD-12) and ANSI/INCITS-378 templates, as well as validation of our fingerprint match speed and accuracy in large database environments.

We have developed what we believe is the most discriminating and effective commercially available finger-based biometric technology. Our primary focus is in marketing and selling this technology into commercial logical and physical privilege entitlement & access control markets. Our primary market focus includes, among others, enterprise access, mobile payments & credentialing, online payments, and healthcare record and payment data security. Our secondary focus includes government, financial services and educational markets.

Products

In 2016, we began to sell through distribution and directly to consumers and commercial users our SideSwipe, SideTouch and EcoID products. SideSwipe, SideTouch and EcoID are stand-alone fingerprint readers that can be used on any laptop, tablet or other device with a USB port. In 2017, we expanded our consumer product line to include biometric and blue tooth enabled pad locks, TSA approved luggage locks, and bicycle locks. In 2018, we introduced OmniPass Consumer, a secure biometric-enabled application to manage multiple passwords for online apps, services or accounts.

In 2015, Microsoft announced native support for biometrics in the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Operating platforms as well as Office 2016. With Microsoft Hello, any user can replace their PIN or password to access their device without any special software downloads by using our finger scanners, SideSwipe, SideTouch and EcoID, which are plug and play compatible with the Microsoft platforms. We have been the preferred partner, in particular at the Microsoft “Ignite your Business” Windows 10 and Office 2016 launch events, which has generated a number opportunities for both our hardware and software offerings. In 2016, our finger scanners were tested and qualified by Microsoft, then introduced and are sold in the Microsoft stores nationwide, as well as through their on-line channel.

In 2018, we continued to invest and grow our relationship with Microsoft. The 2018 Ignite your Business event included Microsoft hosting an exclusive BIO-key demonstration kiosk within their event showcase.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Historically, our largest market has been access control within highly regulated industries such as healthcare. However, we believe the mass adoption of advanced smart-phone and hand-held wireless devices have caused commercial demand for advanced user authentication to emerge as viable. The introduction of smart-phone capabilities, like mobile payments and credentialing, could effectively require biometric user authentication on mobile devices to reduce risks of identity theft, payment fraud and other forms of fraud in the mobile or cellular based world wide web. As more services and payment functionalities, such as mobile wallets and near field communication (NFC), migrate to smart-phones, the value and potential risk associated with such systems should grow and drive demand and adoption of advanced user authentication technologies, including fingerprint biometrics and BIO-key solutions.

As devices with onboard fingerprint sensors continue to deploy to consumers, we expect that third party application developers will demand the ability to authenticate users of their respective applications (app’s) with the onboard fingerprint biometric. We further believe that authentication will occur on the device itself for potentially low-value, and therefore low-risk, use-transactions and that user authentication for high-value transactions will migrate to the application provider’s authentication server, typically located within their supporting technology infrastructure, or Cloud. We have developed our technology to enable, on-device authentication as well as network or cloud-based authentication and believe we may be the only technology vendor capable of providing this flexibility and capability.

Our core technology works on over 40 commercially available fingerprint readers, across both Windows and Linux platforms, and Apple iOS and Android mobile operating systems. This interoperability, coupled with the ability to authentic users via the device or cloud, is unique in the industry, provides a key differentiator for us, and in our opinion, makes our technology more viable than competing technologies and expands the size of the overall market for our products.

We believe there is potential for significant market growth in the following key areas:

	●	Corporate network access control, corporate campuses, computer networks, and applications.

	●	Government funded initiatives, including with the state board of elections.

	●	International government use case applications as prospects see us as a global leader in the biometric technology space as witnessed by our agreement with the Israeli Defense Force, and the Singapore and Dubai Police departments.

	●	Consumer mobile credentialing, including mobile payments, credit and payment card programs, data and application access, and commercial loyalty programs.

	●	Demand for BIO-key hardware products from Windows 10 users and Fortune 500 companies.

	●	Government services and highly regulated industries including, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Drivers Licenses, Campus and School ID, Passports/Visas.

	●	Growth in the Asia Pacific region.

	●	Biometric based consumer products.

In the near-term, we expect to grow our business within government services and highly-regulated industries such as healthcare and financial services industry. We believe that continued heightened security and privacy requirements in these industries will generate increased demand for security solutions, including biometrics. In addition, we expect that the integration of our technology into Windows 10, will accelerate the demand for our computer network log-on solutions and fingerprint readers. Finally, our entry into the Asian market has further expanded our business by opening new markets along with the new and innovative hardware offerings. We expect our SideSwipe, EcoID and SideTouch finger readers, and our biometric and Bluetooth enabled bicycle locks to continue to drive incremental revenue and growth.

We intend to expand our business into the cloud and mobile computing industries. The emergence of cloud computing and mobile computing are primary drivers of commercial and consumer adoption of advanced authentication applications, including biometric and BIO-key authentication capabilities. As the value of assets, services and transactions increases on such networks, we expect that security and user authentication demand should rise proportionately. Our integration partners include major web and network technology providers, who we believe will deliver our cloud-applicable solutions to interested service-providers. These service-providers could include, but are not limited to, financial institutions, web-service providers, consumer payment service providers, credit reporting services, consumer data service providers, healthcare providers and others. Additionally, our integration partners include major technology component providers and OEM manufacturers, who we believe will deliver our device-applicable solutions to interested hardware manufacturers. Such manufacturers could include cellular handset and smartphone manufacturers, tablet manufacturers, laptop and PC manufacturers, among other hardware manufacturers. Our recently introduced SAML and Open ID solutions will create new opportunities for us in 2019.

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, service revenues included approximately $468,000 and $442,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $6,000 and $110,000, respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue increased 6% from 2018 as we continued to bundle maintenance agreements with our expanding customer license base and renewed existing maintenance agreements from our legacy customers. Non-recurring custom services decreased 95% for custom services due to the completion of a customized software project in 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, license revenue decreased as a result of deploying more subscription based orders than perpetual license orders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, hardware sales decreased by 15%, as a result of smaller new customer deployments and decreased lock orders.

Costs of goods sold

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cost of service decreased 46%, as a result of no large custom services orders compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the inclusion in cost of goods sold of outside contractor costs.

License costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased approximately 51%, which was directly associated with the amortization of the software rights due to change in amortization methodology.

Hardware costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased approximately 2%. The decrease was associated with the lower revenue to date as well as the product mix.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased 4% from the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was attributable to decreased payroll, non-cash compensation costs and legal fees, offset by increased trade show expenses and shareholder relations expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, research, development and engineering costs decreased 2% from the corresponding period in 2018, as a result of decreased personnel and related costs and non-cash compensation costs which amounts were offset by an increase in recruiting expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Net cash used by operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $256,000. The cash used by operating activities was attributable primarily to the following items:

	●	Net positive cash flows related to adjustments for non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, and issuance of common stock to our non-employee directors, of approximately $1,405,000, and a decrease in accounts receivable, combined with increases in accounts payable, accruals and deferred revenue of approximately $1,674,000.

	●	Net negative cash flows related to reductions due from factor and operating lease liabilities of approximately $148,000.

Approximately $30,000 was used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to capital expenditures.

Approximately $650,000 was provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 relating to approximately $667,000 of proceeds from the issuance of debentures, offset by approximately $17,000 in legal costs.

At June 30, 2019, we had net working capital of approximately $1,100,000 as compared to net working capital of approximately $3,300,000 at December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities. We expect capital expenditures to be less than $100,000 during the next twelve months.

The following sets forth our primary sources of capital during the previous two years:

We entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”) which has since been extended through October 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, from time to time, we sell to the Factor a minimum of $150,000 of certain of our accounts receivable balances per quarter on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 35% of the foreign and 75% of the domestic accounts receivable balance to us (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees, to be forwarded to us once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. In addition, from time to time, we receive over advances from the Factor. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored, and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. We expect to continue to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with our general working capital requirements due to contractual requirements.

On September 22, 2017, we issued to Wong Kwok Fong (Kelvin), a director, executive officer and principal stockholder of the Company, 427,778 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 138,889 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,540,000, or $3.60 per share. The purchase consisted of a cash payment of $1,000,000 and the conversion of accrued dividends payable on the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of $540,000.

On August 24, 2018, we completed a public offering of units consisting of 1,380,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,035,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate gross proceeds of $2,070,000, or $1.50 per unit.

On April 4, 2019, we issued a $550,000 secured convertible debenture to an institutional investor which matures November 15, 2019 and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The debenture may be redeemed at any time by payment of a premium to the principal balance starting at 5% and increasing to 20%. The debenture was issued at a 7% original issue discount. On July 10, 2019 this debenture was redeemed and repaid in full in connection with the financing described below.

On June 14, 2019, we issued a $157,000 principal amount convertible note to an institutional investor which matures November 14, 2019 and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The note may be redeemed at any time by payment of a premium to the principal balance starting at 10% and increasing to 30%. On July 10, 2019 this note was redeemed and repaid in full in connection with the financing described below.

On July 10, 2019, we issued a $3,060,000 principal amount senior secured convertible note (the “Note”) to an institutional investor. At closing, $2,550,000 was funded. The principal amount due of the Note is due and payable as follows: $918,000 is due 180 days after funding, $1,071,000 is due 270 days after funding, and the remaining balance is due 12 months after the date of funding. The Note is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and properties and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share.

Liquidity outlook

At June 30, 2019, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $687,000, as compared to approximately $324,000 at December 31, 2018.

As discussed above, we have historically financed our operations through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and through factoring receivables. We estimate that we currently require approximately $537,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to consistently achieve through revenue generation. During the first half of 2019, we generated approximately $1,280,000 of revenue, which is below our average monthly requirements.

If we are unable to continue to generate sufficient revenue to meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. We may, therefore, need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities.

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion related to our annual financial statements as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate sufficient revenue, we may be required to reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or in the extreme case, not continue as a going concern.
