Note
2 – Liquidity And Management Plans
The Company is an emerging
growth company and recorded operating income from continuing operations of $869,439 and a net loss from continuing operations
of $892,791 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Certain of these factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. However,
given the Company’s cash position at September 30, 2018 and its projected cash flow from operations, the Company
believes that it will have sufficient capital to sustain operations over the next twelve months following the date of this
filing to alleviate such substantial doubt. As of September 30, 2018, the Company (excluding discontinued operations) had a
working capital deficiency of $416,161 and stockholders’ equity of $17,685,903. In order to execute the Company’s
long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products, fulfill its product development commitments and fund
its obligations as they come due, the Company may need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings,
debt financings, or other means. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate
sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to engage in certain cost containment efforts, and/or
curtail certain of its operational activities.
The Company can give no assurance that
any cash raised subsequent to September 30, 2018 will be sufficient to execute its business plan or meet its obligations. The Company
can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate
sufficient revenue to alleviate these conditions.
Note 3 – Summary
Of Significant Accounting Policies
Use
of estimates in the financial statements
The preparation of condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management evaluates
these significant estimates and assumptions including those related to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, stock
based compensation, derivative instruments, income taxes, accounts receivable and inventories, and other matters that affect the
condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles
of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 3D-ID, LogicMark and Fit Pay. Intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of cash. The Company maintains its cash balances in large well-established financial institutions located in the United States.
At times, the Company’s cash balances may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) insurance limits.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenues
is from product sales to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service
has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is
reasonably assured. The Company’s revenue is recorded at the net amount to be received after deductions for discounts, allowances
and product returns.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable
value. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable balances and adjusts the receivable reserves as necessary whenever events
or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had
an allowance for doubtful accounts of $132,383.
Inventory
The Company performs regular reviews of
inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the
inventory as necessary with estimated valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual
inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements. As of September 30, 2018, inventory was comprised of $1,349,949
in finished goods on hand. Inventory at December 31, 2017 was comprised of $706,322 in finished goods on hand. The Company is required
to prepay for raw materials with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31,
2017, the Company had prepaid inventory of $272,571 and $326,651, respectively. These prepayments were made primarily for finished
goods inventory, and prepaid inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets.

Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill
relates to the acquisitions of LogicMark and Fit Pay. Fit Pay is included in the Company’s discontinued operations (See
Note 4). The Company began testing goodwill for impairment in the third quarter of 2017 as it relates to the acquisition
of LogicMark. Authoritative accounting guidance allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether
it is necessary to perform the more detailed two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs
the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s
fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly
to the quantitative test for any reporting units or assets. The quantitative goodwill impairment test, if necessary, is
a two-step process. The first step is to identify the existence of a potential impairment by comparing the fair value of
a reporting unit (the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using a discounted cash flow model) with
its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the
reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and performance of the second step of the quantitative
goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the
second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss to be
recorded, if any. The second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the
reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting
unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The
implied fair value of goodwill is determined using the same approach as employed when determining the amount of goodwill that
would be recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of its
assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value was the
purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
As part of the annual evaluation
of the LogicMark related goodwill, the Company utilized the option to first assess qualitative factors, which include but are
not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, as well as the financial performance of LogicMark. In accordance
with applicable guidance, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit if, after assessing these
qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its reporting unit’s fair value is
greater than its carrying amount. As of September 30, 2018, the Company determined that it was more likely
than not that the fair value of LogicMark exceeded its respective carrying amount and therefore, a quantitative assessment
was not required.
As part of the evaluation of Fit Pay,
the Company utilized the option to first assess qualitative factors, which include but are not limited to, economic, market
and industry conditions, as well as the financial performance of Fit Pay. In accordance with the applicable guidance, an
entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit if, after assessing these qualitative factors, it is
determined that it is more likely than not that the reporting units fair value is greater than its carrying amount. Based on
its assessment of the qualitative factors which included Fit Pay’s financial performance thus far, a quantitative
analysis was performed, and as of September 30, 2018, the Company determined that based on a goodwill impairment
analysis prepared by a third party valuation firm, the fair value of Fit Pay exceeded its respective carrying amount.
Therefore, the Company has not recognized any goodwill impairment in 2018 as it relates to Fit Pay.
Other Intangible
Assets
The Company’s intangible assets are
related to the acquisition of LogicMark and are included in other intangible assets in the Company’s condensed
consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
At September 30, 2018, the other intangible
assets relating to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised of patents of $3,285,105; trademarks of $1,120,093; and customer
relationships of $2,548,912. At December 31, 2017, the other intangible assets relating to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised
of patents of $3,563,885; trademarks of $1,167,122; and customer relationships of $2,792,900. The Company will continue amortizing
these intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which for the patents, trademarks and
customer relationships are 11 years; 20 years; and 10 years, respectively. During the nine and three months ended September 30,
2018, the Company had amortization expense of $569,796 and $192,019, respectively, related to the LogicMark intangible assets.
During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had amortization expense of $569,796 and $192,019, respectively,

(Unaudited)
As of September 30, 2018, total amortization
expense estimated for the remainder of fiscal year 2018 is approximately $190,000, and for each of the next five fiscal years,
2019 through 2023, the total amortization expense is estimated to be as follows: 2019 - $762,000; 2020 - $762,000; 2021 - $762,000;
and 2022 - $762,000.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based awards
exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company accounts for equity instruments
issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to
periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation
charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned. Stock-based compensation is recorded in the same component of operating
expenses as if it were paid in cash. The Company generally issues new shares of common stock to satisfy conversion and warrant
exercises.
Net
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share was computed using
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common
stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities from the exercise of warrants to purchase 5,090,352 shares of common stock as
of September 30, 2018 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would
have been anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2017, potentially dilutive securities of 1,151,374 realizable from the convertible
exchange notes and related accrued interest and from the exercise of warrants to purchase 3,926,251 shares of common stock were
excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In July 2018, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-17”). The amendments in ASU 2018-17 expand the scope of
Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based
payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and
employees will be substantially aligned. ASU 2018-17 supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity-Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
For public companies, the amendments in ASU 2018-17 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including
interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption of Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2018-07 will have on the Company’s
financial position and results of operations.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,
“Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” to provide clarity and reduce
both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation,
to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which
changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,
beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU was adopted and did not have a material impact on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No.
2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this ASU clarify
the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should
be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a
set is not a business. If the screen is not met, it (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum,
an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation
of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for
annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU was adopted and it
did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). The amendments address diversity in practice
that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash and require that a statement of cash flows explain
the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted
cash equivalents. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning
after December 15, 2017. As permitted under the standard for emerging growth companies, the Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-18
in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently reviewing and evaluating this guidance and its impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow- Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU
2016-12”). ASU 2016-12 will affect all entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that
are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 affect the
guidance in ASU 2014-09 which is not yet effective. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 also affect narrow aspects of Topic 606 including
among others: assessing collectability criterion, noncash consideration, and presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes
collected from customers. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-12 are the same as the
effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09 (discussed below). The Company is currently evaluating the effect that
ASU 2016-12 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASU 2014-09”),
which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services.
To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer;
(2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price(s); (4) allocate the
transaction price(s) to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires advanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the
Effective Date
(“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of FASB’s revenue standard under ASU
2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. As a result of ASU 2015-14, the guidance
under ASU 2014-09 shall apply for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting
periods within that period. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016,
including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2016-08,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue
Gross versus Net),
which clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016,
the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying
Performance Obligations and Licensing,
which clarified the implementation guidance regarding performance obligations and
licensing arrangements. As permitted under the standard for emerging growth companies, the Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09
in the fourth quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and recognize the cumulative effect to existing
contracts (if any) in opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The Company is currently reviewing and evaluating this
guidance and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company’s results may not be
comparable with other companies in our industry until ASU 2014-09 is adopted.

5 – Acquisitions
Acquisition
of logicmark llc
On
July 25, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of LogicMark. The Company determined that as of July 25, 2016, it was
more likely than not that these gross profit targets as they relate to the contingent considerations would be achieved and
any fair value adjustment of the earnout was due to time value of the payout. Based on LogicMark’s operating results
for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company reduced the amount of contingent consideration due to the LogicMark Sellers
by $1,843,912. The
Company paid the 2017 earnout amount of $3,156,088 to the LogicMark Sellers in the second quarter
of 2018.
On July 25, 2016, in order to fund
part of the proceeds of the LogicMark acquisition, the Company and a group of lenders, including ExWorks Capital Fund I, L.P. as
agent for the lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”),
whereby the Lenders extended a revolving loan (the “Revolving Loan”) to the Company in the principal amount of $15,000,000
(the “Debt Financing”). The interest rate on the Revolving Loan is 15% per annum and the Revolving Loan was scheduled
to mature in July 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company paid down $3,000,000 of the Revolving Loan. The Company
originally incurred $1,357,356 in deferred debt issue costs related to the Revolving Loan. In addition, the Company incurred an
additional $450,000 in deferred debt issue costs as a result of extending the revolving loan facility for one additional year.
At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the unamortized balance of deferred debt issue costs was $0 and $200,744, respectively.
In April 2018, the Company borrowed $1,500,000
against the Revolving Loan and on May 24, 2018, the Company repaid the entire outstanding revolver balance of $13,500,000 due to
the Lenders with funds received as a result of the refinancing with Sagard Holdings Manager LP. See Note 6. In addition, the Company
also paid $1,179,375 in accrued interest due to the Lenders. In connection with the pay down and termination of the revolving loan
facility, the Company recorded a loss from the extinguishment of debt totaling $68,213 which was comprised of $60,713 of unamortized
deferred debt issue costs related to the extension of the revolving loan facility for one additional year and the Company also
paid $7,500 in legal fees incurred by the Lenders of the Revolving Loan for the refinancing and termination of the revolving credit
facility.
Acquisition
of Fit Pay
As discussed in
Note 1, the Company completed the Merger on May 23, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate purchase
price paid for Fit Pay stock was: (i) 1,912,303 shares of common stock which was equivalent to 19.96% of the outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company; (ii) 2,000 shares of the Series C Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series
C Preferred Stock”); (iii) the payment of certain debts by the Company; and (iv) the payment of certain unpaid expenses of
the Fit Pay Sellers of $724,116 by the Company. In addition, the Company will be required to pay the Fit Pay Sellers an earn-out
payment equal to 12.5% of the gross revenue derived from Fit Pay’s technology for sixteen (16) fiscal quarters commencing
on October 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2021. To date, Fit Pay has had minimal revenue. The operating results of Fit Pay
have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition, May 23, 2017.
In connection with the Merger on May 23,
2017, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $1,774,539 as part of its purchase price allocation.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Fit
Pay
The purchase price to acquire Fit Pay was
$10,104,184, of which $100,000 was paid by the Company in cash and $10,004,184 in non-cash consideration.
The non-cash consideration was comprised
of a $851,842 seller note, $3,289,161 shares of our common stock issued to the Fit Pay Sellers, $1,807,300 of Series C Preferred
Stock issued to the Fit Pay Sellers and $4,055,881 in an earn-out provision. At the date of acquisition, the earn-out provision
was discounted using a prime borrowing rate of 3.5%.

The Merger Agreement was accounted for
under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of Fit Pay based upon their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying
net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The Company completed its analysis of the fair value of the net assets acquired
and the consideration granted through the use of an independent valuation firm and management’s preparation of estimates.
The following table summarizes the assessment of the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed net of cash acquired, as of the date of acquisition of May 23, 2017:

6 – Debt refinancing
On
May 24, 2018, LogicMark, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nxt-ID, entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit
Agreement”) with the lenders thereto and Sagard Holdings Manager LP, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the
lenders party to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lender”), whereby the Lender extended a term loan (the “Term
Loan”) to LogicMark in the principal amount of $16,000,000. The maturity date of the Term Loan is May 24, 2023. The outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR, adjusted monthly, plus 9.5% per annum (approximately 11.5%
as of September 30, 2018). The Company incurred $1,253,970 in deferred debt issue costs related to the Term Loan. During the nine
and three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company amortized $88,991 and $62,698, respectively, of the deferred debt issue
costs which is included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. At September 30, 2018 the unamortized
balance of deferred debt issue costs was $1,164,979. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, LogicMark
is required to deposit 50% of its excess cash flow generated into a restricted bank account for a maximum period of one (1) year.
Excess cash flow is defined as LogicMark’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less any
debt service, debt prepayments and capital expenditures. At the end of the one (1) year period, the restricted cash may be used
either to pay down the Term Loan or LogicMark will have the ability to transfer the restricted cash balance to an operating bank
account and use the cash for operational purposes. This determination will be made solely at the discretion of the Lender. At September
30, 2018, the Company’s restricted cash balance included $1,052,232 related to LogicMark’s excess cash flow generated.
The
Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including
a covenant that (a) LogicMark shall not permit the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, beginning with June 30, 2018, to
be less than the correlative ratio indicated, which correlative ratio is initially 3.00 : 1:00 for the fiscal quarter beginning
June 30, 2018 and increasing by annual increments of 0.25 for each fiscal quarter until March 31, 2021, and thereafter, the correlative
ratio is 4.00 : 1.00, and (b) LogicMark shall not permit the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last
day of any fiscal quarter, beginning with June 30, 2018, to exceed the correlative ratio indicated which correlative ratio is initially
2.60 : 1:00 for the fiscal quarter beginning June 30, 2018 and decreasing by various annual increments for each fiscal quarter
until March 31, 2021 and thereafter, the correlative ratio is 2.00 : 1.00.
The performance of LogicMark under
the Credit Agreement is secured by: (a) a senior lien granted pursuant to a Security Agreement on all of the assets of
LogicMark, the Company, 3D-ID, LLC (one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) and Fit Pay (one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries);
(b) a senior lien granted pursuant to an Intellectual Property Security Agreement on all of the intellectual property assets
of the foregoing companies; and (c) a pledge of certain pledged securities of the foregoing companies pursuant to a
Securities Pledge Agreement. The performance of LogicMark is guaranteed pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement by
the Company, 3D-ID, LLC and Fit Pay.
Warrants
and Registration Rights
In
addition to entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company issued two (2) common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Sagard
Warrant”) to Sagard Credit Partners, LP. Each Sagard Warrant is exercisable for 244,081 shares of the Company’s common
stock (collectively, the “Sagard Warrant Shares”). Each Sagard Warrant will be exercisable beginning on May 24, 2018,
for a period of five (5) years. The exercise price per share is $3.90 for the first Sagard Warrant and $4.88 for the second Sagard
Warrant. The exercise price and the amount of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of each Sagard
Warrant are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications,
mergers or other corporate changes or dilutive issuances.
On May 24, 2018
the Company recorded a debt discount of $705,541. The debt discount is attributable to the aggregate fair value on the issuance
date of both Sagard Warrants. The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest method over the five-year term
of the Term Loan. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $50,071 and $35,277, respectively,
of debt discount amortization related to the Sagard Warrants. The debt discount amortization is included as part of interest expense
in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Each
Sagard Warrant contains a covenant of the Company that within ninety (90) days of May 24, 2018, at the Company’s sole cost
and expense, it will file or cause to be filed a registration statement covering the resale of the Sagard Warrant Shares, and will
promptly provide confirmation of such registration to the holder. The registration statement covering the resale of the Sagard
Warrant Shares was filed and became effective in July 2018. To the extent a legal opinion is required in connection therewith,
such opinion shall be obtained by the Company at the Company’s expense. In no event shall the Company be responsible for
any broker or similar commissions of any holder or any legal fees or other costs of the holder of the Sagard Warrants.

7 – Stockholders’ Equity
2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan
On January 4, 2013, a majority of the Company’s
stockholders approved by written consent the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The maximum
aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the LTIP, including stock awards, stock issued to directors
for serving on the Company’s board of directors, and stock appreciation rights, is limited to 10% of the shares of common
stock outstanding on the first business or trading day of any fiscal year, which is 686,037 shares of common stock at January 1,
2018.
During the nine months
ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 170,640 shares of common stock under the LTIP to five (5)
non-employee directors for serving on the Company’s board. The aggregate fair value of the shares issued to the
directors was $275,111.
2017 Stock Incentive Plan
On August 24, 2017, a majority of the Company’s
stockholders approved at the 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“2017 SIP”). The
aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the 2017 SIP
pursuant to awards of restricted shares or options will be limited to 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which calculation
shall be made on the first (1
st
) business day of each new fiscal year; provided that for fiscal year 2017, 1,500,000
shares of common stock may be delivered to participants under the 2017 SIP. Thereafter, the 10% evergreen provision shall govern
the 2017 SIP. The number of shares of common stock that are the subject of awards under the 2017 SIP which are forfeited or terminated,
are settled in cash in lieu of shares of common stock or are settled in a manner such that all or some of such shares covered by
an award are not issued to a participant or are exchanged for awards that do not involve shares of common stock will again immediately
become available to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 SIP. If shares of common stock are withheld from payment
of an award to satisfy tax obligations with respect to the award, those shares of common stock will be treated as shares that have
been issued under the 2017 SIP and will not again be available for issuance under the 2017 SIP.
In addition, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2018, the Company issued 163,435 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $353,019 to executive and
certain non-executive employees related to the Company’s 2017 management incentive plan.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2018, the Company accrued $575,000 of discretionary management and employee bonus expense.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2018, the Company issued 274,666 shares of common stock with a fair value of $489,163 to non-employees for services rendered.
Warrants
On September 14, 2018, the
Company entered into a Warrant Amendment and Exercise Agreement with certain holders (collectively, the
“Investors”) of previously issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Old Warrants”). In connection
with those certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants between the Company and the Investors dated July 13, 2017, July 19, 2017
and November 13, 2017 (the “Warrant Agreements”), the Company agreed to issue to the Investors warrants to
purchase up to 3,273,601 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, (the “New Warrants”),
under certain circumstances. Under the terms of the Amendment Agreement, in consideration of the Investors’ exercising
up to 3,273,601 of the Old Warrants, the exercise price per share of the Old Warrants was reduced to $1.50 per share. The
Investors may continue to exercise the Old Warrants after December 31, 2018, but will not receive any New Warrants for any
warrants exercised after that date. The exercise price per share of the New Warrants represented a 30% premium to the closing
price for the Company’s Common Stock on September 14, 2018.
The New Warrants, if issued, are exercisable
for up to the original expiration dates of the Old Warrants, or July 19, 2022, January 23, 2023, or May 13, 2023, as applicable.
The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants are subject to traditional adjustments for stock
splits, combinations, recapitalization events and certain dilutive issuances. The New Warrants are required to be exercised for
cash; however, if during the term of the New Warrants there is not an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants,
then the New Warrants may be exercised on a cashless (net exercise) basis.
As a result of this Warrant
Amendment and Exercise Agreement, the Company recorded a warrant modification expense of $165,640 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 2018 related to the reduction in the exercise price of the Old Warrants from $2.00 to $1.50.
In addition, the Company also recorded a warrant modification expense of $179,640 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018
resulting from the issuance of 150,000 replacement warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 for warrants that were exercised
during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company
had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,090,352 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price
and remaining life of $5.42 and 3.565 years, respectively. At September 30, 2018, the warrants had no aggregate intrinsic
value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,075,000 shares of common stock
were exercised on a cashless basis into 437,018 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company received proceeds of
$425,000 in connection with the exercise of warrants into 250,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of
$1.70 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 460 warrants with an exercise price of $10.00 expired.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018, should be read together
with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with
respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry’s actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot
guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws
of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the
forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual
results.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State
of Delaware on February 8, 2012. We are a security technology company and we operate our business in one segment –
hardware and software security systems and applications. We are engaged in the development of proprietary products and
solutions that serve multiple end markets, including the security, healthcare, financial technology and the Internet of
Things (“IoT”) markets. We evaluate the performance of our business on, among other things, profits and loss from
operations. With extensive experience in access control, biometric and behavior-metric identity verification, security and
privacy, encryption and data protection, payments, miniaturization, and sensor technologies, we develop and market solutions
for payment, IoT and healthcare applications.
On June 25, 2012, the Company acquired
100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID LLC (“3D-ID”), a limited liability company formed in Florida in February
2011 and owned by the Company’s founders. By acquiring 3D-ID, the Company gained the rights to a portfolio of patented technology
in the field of three-dimensional facial recognition and imaging including 3D facial recognition products for access control, law
enforcement and travel and immigration. 3D-ID was an early stage company engaged in the design, research and development, integration,
analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three-dimensional facial recognition and
three-dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily for identification and access control in the security industries. Since
the Company’s acquisition of 3D-ID was a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID
at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized, February 14, 2011.
On July 25, 2016, the Company completed
the acquisition of LogicMark, LLC (“LogicMark”) pursuant to an Interest Purchase Agreement by and among the Company,
LogicMark and the holders of all of the membership interests of LogicMark (the “LogicMark Sellers”), dated May 17,
2016 (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the membership
interests of LogicMark from the LogicMark Sellers for (i) $17.5 million in cash consideration, (ii) $2.5 million in a secured promissory
note (the “LogicMark Note”) issued to LogicMark Investment Partners, LLC, as representative of the LogicMark Sellers
(the “LogicMark Representative”), (iii) 78,740 shares of common stock, which were issued upon signing of the Interest
Purchase Agreement (the “LogicMark Shares”), and (iv) warrants (the “LogicMark Warrants”) to purchase an
aggregate of 157,480 shares of common stock (the “LogicMark Warrant Shares”) for no additional consideration. Such
warrants were exercised on July 27, 2016. In addition, the Company was required to pay the LogicMark Sellers earn-out payments
of (i) up to $1,500,000 for calendar year 2016 and (ii) up to $5,000,000 for calendar year 2017 if LogicMark met certain gross
profit targets set forth in the Interest Purchase Agreement. The LogicMark Note originally was to mature on September 23, 2016
but was extended to July 15, 2017. The earn-out payment related to 2016 and the remaining balance owed on the LogicMark Note including
accrued interest were both paid in July 2017. See Note 4. Based on LogicMark’s operating results for the year ended December
31, 2017, the 2017 earnout amount owed by the Company was $3,156,088. As a result, the Company reduced the amount of contingent
consideration due to the LogicMark Sellers by $1,843,912. The Company paid the 2017 earnout amount of $3,156,088 to the LogicMark
Sellers in the second quarter of 2018. See Note 4 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On
May 23, 2017, the Company completed a merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to an executed Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Fit Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger
Sub”), Fit Pay, Inc. (“Fit Pay”), Michael Orlando (“Orlando”), Giesecke & Devrient Mobile Security
America, Inc. (“G&D”), the other stockholders of Fit Pay (the “Other Holders”) and Michael Orlando
in his capacity as stockholder representative representing the Other Holders (the “Stockholder Representative,” and
together with Orlando and G&D, the “Fit Pay Sellers”). In connection with the Merger, Fit Pay merged with and into
the Merger Sub, with the Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 5.
The
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LogicMark, manufactures and distributes non-monitored and monitored personal emergency
response systems sold through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”), healthcare durable medical
equipment dealers and distributors and monitored security dealers and distributors. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Fit Pay, has a proprietary technology platform that delivers payment, credential management, authentication and other secure services
to the IoT ecosystem. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders’ account information
with a unique digital identifier, to transact highly secure contactless payment and authentication services.
On September 21, 2018, the Company
announced that its board of directors approved a plan to separate the Company’s financial technology business from
its healthcare business into an independent publicly traded company. The Company will distribute shares of the newly
created Company to the Company’s shareholders through the execution of a spin-off. As a result, the Company
reclassified its financial technology business to discontinued operations for all periods reported. The Company’s
financial technology business is comprised of its Fit Pay subsidiary and the intellectual property developed by Nxt-ID Inc.,
including the Flye Smartcard and the Wocket.
Healthcare
With respect to the healthcare market,
our business initiatives are driven by LogicMark, which serves a market that enables two-way communication, medical device connectivity
and patient data tracking of key vitals through sensors, biometrics, and security to make home health care a reality. There are
three major trends driving this market: (1) an increased desire for connectivity; specifically, a greater desire for connected
devices by people over 60 years of age who now represent the fastest growing demographic for social media; (2) the growth of “TeleHealth”,
which is the means by which telecommunications technologies are meeting the increased need for health systems to better distribute
doctor care across a wider range of health facilities, making it easier to treat and diagnose patients; and (3) rising healthcare
costs – as health spending continues to outpace the economy, representing between 6% and 7% of the overall economy, the need
to reduce hospital readmissions, increase staffing efficiency and improve patient engagement remain the highest priorities. Together,
these trends have produced a large and growing market for us to serve. LogicMark has built a successful business on emergency communications
in healthcare. We have a strong business relationship with the VA today, serving veterans who suffer from chronic conditions that
often require emergency assistance. This business is steady and growing, producing the highest annual revenue in its operational
history in 2017. Our strategic plan calls for expanding LogicMark’s business into other healthcare verticals as well as retail
and enterprise channels in order to better serve the expanding demand for connected and remote healthcare solutions.
Home healthcare, which includes health
monitoring and management using IoT and cloud-based processing, is an emerging area for LogicMark. The long-term trend toward more
home-based healthcare is a massive shift that is being driven by demographics (an aging population) and basic economics. People
also value autonomy and privacy which are important factors in determining which solutions will suit the market. Consumers are
beginning to enjoy the benefits of smart home technologies and online digital assistants. One of the promising applications of
our VoiceMatch™ technology is enabling secure commands for restricted medical access. This solution, when coupled with Nxt-ID
BioCloud™, combines biometrics with encryption and distributed access control.
PERS devices are used to call for help
and medical care during an emergency. These devices are also used by a wide patient pool, as well as the general population, to
ensure safety and security when living or traveling alone. The global medical alert systems market caters to different end-users
across the healthcare industry, including individual users, hospitals and clinics, assisted living facilities and senior living
facilities. The growing demand for home healthcare devices is mainly driven by an aging population and rising healthcare costs
worldwide. We believe that this will spur the usage of medical alert systems across the globe, as they offer safety and medical
security while being affordable and accessible.
Payments and Financial Technology
With respect to the payments and financial technology market, our business initiatives are driven by Fit Pay, which was
acquired by Nxt-ID in May 2017. Fit Pay’s core technology is a proprietary platform that enables contactless payment
capabilities, allowing manufacturers of “smart devices” to add payment capabilities to their products with very
little start-up time and minimal investment in software development, while granting them access to the leading card network
and global credit card issuing banks. It is one of the first successful commercializations of a token requestor service
provider integrated with the major payment card networks – Discover, Mastercard, and Visa. The existing propriety
capabilities of the contactless payment companies are not available to other original equipment manufacturers
(“OEMs”). The Fit Pay Token Requestor Manager (TRM) Platform creates an opportunity for a whole new range of
devices to be payment-enabled.
Fit
Pay has expanded its relationship with
Garmin International, Inc.
for which it provides
technology, platform and tokenization services to power
Garmin Pay™, a contactless payment feature included on smartwatches
manufactured by Garmin. The payment feature, which went live in the fall of 2017, is now included in 10 of Garmin’s smartwatches.
In
addition to expanding the number of devices on which Garmin Pay™ is available from 1 to 10, Fit Pay has made significant
progress in expanding the geographic and issuer footprint for Garmin Pay™. Garmin Pay™
is supported
by an issuer network of 229 issuing banks in 27 countries (
as of September 30, 2018
)
with additions being made regularly. This represents a significant increase from fiscal year-end 2017, at which time the network
included 60 issuing banks in 8 countries. As a part of this growth, Fit Pay announced agreements with Chase, Westpac and Discover.
This expansion of the Garmin Pay™ network increases the
overall revenue opportunity
for this flagship customer.
Our payment and financial technology business
has also expanded to include new products and services. This includes growing the capabilities of the TRM Platform to integrate
it with additional payment networks and issuing banks. Fit Pay has also developed proprietary payment devices that it will offer
through business-to-business and direct-to-consumer channels. These new products will leverage the TRM Platform and allow us to
access new customers and emerging markets, such as cryptocurrency.
Fit Pay’s initial product offering
is a platform extension and contactless payment device called Flip™, which enables Bitcoin holders to make contactless payment
transactions at millions of retail locations with value exchanged from their cryptocurrency. The development of the product and
platform to support Flip has been completed and Fit Pay is currently seeking the final network and bank approvals to begin the
initial shipments of the product. While commercialization of the product has taken longer than anticipated, the Company believes
the product continues to represent an opportunity to bring to market a unique offering in an emerging market segment.
In
addition to these expansions of Fit Pay’s offerings, the Company was also announced as a technology partner for
Visa’s
Token Service for credential-on-file (“COF”) token requestors. Through this program, Fit
Pay will be able to tokenize credential-on-file digital payments on behalf of merchant and payment ecosystem clients, greatly
expanding the addressable market for the Company’s platform services. Leveraging the EMVCo Payment Tokenization
Standard, the tokenization COF record offers another layer of security for consumers and merchants. It replaces sensitive cardholder information, such as personal account numbers and expiration dates, with a unique digital identifier
(a “token”) that can be used for payment without exposing a cardholder’s more sensitive
account information.
In addition to enhancing security, expired
or compromised payment credentials can be seamlessly updated in the background by the financial institution, eliminating a significant
point of friction for consumers and merchants. These additional services will be buoyed by the overall of growth in digital payments,
which is estimated by eMarketer to grow to $5.4 Trillion in total transaction value by 2022.
Together,
these opportunities position our emerging payment and financial technology business for future growth as Fit Pay begins to monetize
its core TRM technology platform and expand its products and services to new markets and customers.

within a rapidly expanding market. According to the research firm, Juniper Research, in-store contactless payments will reach
$2 trillion by 2020, representing 1 in 3 total point of sale transactions. Contactless payments will exceed the $1 trillion mark
for the first time in 2018, a year earlier than previously anticipated by Juniper. This growth is driven by an acceleration in
consumer usage of contactless payment services as well as merchant acceptance.
In addition, according to the latest research
from Counterpoint’s
Global Smartwatch Tracker
, global smartwatch shipments grew 37 percent year-over-year in
Q2 2018. Garmin shipments grew 35 percent year-over-year and it holds 3 percent market share. Importantly, the report noted
that 50 percent of the market operates on a proprietary platform (
i.e.,
not Apple or Android) for which Fit Pay’s
white label, operating system agnostic solution is well-suited.
As an early and established entrant into
the contactless and digital payments market, we believe that we are well-positioned to take advantage of both the growth of payment-enabled
devices and the consumer demand for new forms of payments.
Results of Operations
Comparison of nine and three months ended September 30,
2018 and September 30, 2017
Revenue.
Our revenues for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 were $13,082,764 and $4,367,719, respectively, compared to $11,686,813 and
$3,665,862, respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in our revenues for the nine
and three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017 is
directly attributable to LogicMark’s increased sales volume to the Veterans Administration as well as a shift in
product sales mix from land based products to mobile products which typically have a higher sales price on a per unit basis.
Cost of Revenue and Gross
Profit.
Our gross profit for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 was $9,507,464 and $3,195,310
respectively, compared to a gross profit of $8,207,476 and $2,561,931, respectively, for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 2017. The increase in gross profit in both the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to
the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily attributable to the higher gross profit resulting from the
increased volume in LogicMark’s product sales as well as the favorable shift in sales mix discussed above.

Operating Profit (Loss).
The
operating profit for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 was $869,439 and $228,449, respectively,
compared with an operating loss for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017 of $596,287 and $1,070,303,
respectively. The significant favorable changes in operating profit (loss) for the nine and three months ended September 30,
2018 as compared to the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to the higher gross profit
margin resulting from the higher LogicMark sales in 2018 as compared to 2017 and the lower operating expenses attributable to
the cost containment efforts in 2018 as compared to 2017.
Net Loss.
The net loss for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $892,791 compared to a net loss of $6,604,929 for the nine months ended September
30, 2017. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the operating profit
discussed above of $869,439, interest expense of $2,378,519, a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $68,213, a warrant modification expense of $345,280 all of which was partially offset by operating profit of $869,439 discussed above and a favorable change

Sources of Liquidity.
We
are an emerging growth company and have generated losses from operations since inception. We incurred operating income
from continuing operations of $869,439 and a net loss from continuing operations of $892,791 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the Company (excluding discontinued operations) had a working
capital deficiency of $416,161 and stockholders’ equity of $17,685,903. Certain of these
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the
issuance of these financial statements.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash of $780,492.
Given our cash position at September 30,
2018 and our projected cash flow from operations over the next twelve months, we believe that we will have sufficient capital to
sustain operations over the next twelve months following the date of this report to alleviate such substantial doubt. In order
to execute our long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize our core products, fulfill our product development commitments
and fund our obligations as they come due, we may need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings, debt
financings, or other means. Should we not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generating sufficient revenue to
fund our operations, we would need to curtail certain of our operational activities.
The Company can give no assurance that
any cash raised subsequent to September 30, 2018 will be sufficient to execute its business plan or meet its obligations. The Company
can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate
sufficient revenue to alleviate these conditions.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that our business has not
been affected to a significant degree by inflationary trends during the past three years. However, inflation is still a
factor in the worldwide economy and may increase the cost of purchasing products from our contract manufacturers in Asia, as
well as the cost of certain raw materials, component parts and labor used in the production of our products. It also may
increase our operating expenses, manufacturing overhead expenses and the cost to acquire or replace fixed assets. We have
generally been able to maintain or improve our profit margins through productivity and efficiency improvements, cost
reduction programs and to a lesser extent, price increases, and we expect to be able to do the same during the remainder of
fiscal 2018. As such, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant impact on our business during the remainder of
fiscal 2018.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which
would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited
purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We
are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in
such relationships.
