CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “SmartMetric, Inc.,” “SmartMetric,” “SMME,” “the Company,” “we” “us,” and “our” refer to SmartMetric, Inc. Also, any reference to “common shares,” or “common stock” refers to our $0.001 par value common stock. Also, any reference to “preferred stock” or “preferred shares” refers to our $0.001 par value Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and our $0.001 par value Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to our business development plans, timing strategies, expectations, anticipated expense levels, business prospects, business outlook, technology spending and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These statements express our current intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies or predictions as well as historical information. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “continue,” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not deemed to represent an all-inclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements as denoted in this Quarterly Report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters are forward-looking statements.

Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These statements are no guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Our future operating results are dependent upon many factors which are outside our control. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, our ability to:

●	manage our business given continuing operating losses and negative cash flows;

●	obtain sufficient capital to fund our operations, development, and expansion plans;

●	manage competitive factors and developments beyond our control;

●	maintain and protect our intellectual property;

●	obtain patents based on our current and/or future patent applications;

●	obtain and maintain other rights to technology required or desirable to conduct or expand our business; and

●	manage any other factors, if any, discussed in the “Risk Factors” section, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report, except as required by federal securities laws. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this Quarterly Report, which are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

SmartMetric, Inc. (“SmartMetric” or the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric is a company engaged in the technology industry. SmartMetric’s main products are a fingerprint sensor activated payments card and a security card with a finger sensor and fully functional fingerprint reader embedded inside the card. The SmartMetric biometric cards have a rechargeable battery allowing for portable biometric identification and card activation. This card is referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric Card.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2019. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements the Company has sustained recurring losses of $641,413 and $805,256 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $26,642,596 at March 31, 2019.

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include product marketing and distribution. The management plans include equity sales and borrowing in order to fund the operations.

NOTE 2 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow except as noted below.

In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which is included in ASC 842, “Leases.” This guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2019. Based on the completed analysis, the Company has determined the adjustment will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2019. Based on the completed analysis, the Company has determined the adjustment will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, 26,392,318 and 14,505,499 dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures expense for issuances of stock-based compensation to employees and others at fair value of the stock and warrants issued, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

NOTE 3 -

PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses represent the unexpired terms of various consulting agreements as well as advance rental payments. The Company does not currently have any prepaid items related to shares issue for services.

NOTE 4 -

COMMITMENTS

Lease Agreement

The Company’s main office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rent expense under all leases for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $10,545 and $25,589 respectively. The Company maintains only one office. This office is located in Las Vegas, NV and is a month-to-month lease.

Related Party Transactions

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has made cash advances to the Company with an aggregate amount due of $7,739 and $15,000 at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. These advances bear interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

The Company has accrued the amounts of $805,848 and $663,348 at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, as deferred officer’s salary, for the difference between the Chief Executive Officer’s annual salary and the amounts paid.

On September 11, 2017, we received a license to certain patents from Chaya Hendrick, our founder and CEO, related to our technologies until the expiration of the patents. As consideration, we issued Chaya Hendrick, or her assigns, (i) 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) a royalty equal to 5% of gross revenues derived from products sold related to the patents, and (iii) certain minimum required payments beginning at $50,000 and doubling each year thereafter. The Series B Preferred Shares may be converted at the election of holder on a basis for 50 common shares for each preferred share at any time or an aggregate of 10,000,000 common shares in exchange for all 200,000 preferred shares.

NOTE 5 -

STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has 5,000,000 shares of Class B preferred stock, par value $0.001, authorized and 680,000 shares issued and outstanding.

On December 11, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada, to designate 500,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”). Effective November 5, 2014, the number of shares designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was increased to 1,000,000 shares.

Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001, and a stated value equal to $5.00 (“Stated Value”). Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with the holders of the common stock of the Company on an as converted basis when, as, and if declared by the directors of the Company. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to convert each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into fifty (50) shares of common stock.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value, pro rata with the holders of the common stock.

Class A Common Stock

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001, authorized and no shares issued and outstanding. In October 2003, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at par value ($50,000). These shares were converted into 50,000,000 shares of common stock in 2006.

Common Stock

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

SmartMetric, Inc. (“SmartMetric” or the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric is a company engaged in the technology industry. SmartMetric has an issued patent covering technology that involves connection to networks using data cards (smart cards and EMV cards). In addition, SmartMetric holds the sole license to five issued patents covering features of its biometric fingerprint activated cards. SmartMetric’s main products are a fingerprint sensor activated payments card and a security card with a finger sensor and fully functional fingerprint reader embedded inside the card. The cards have a rechargeable battery allowing for portable biometric identification and card activation. These cards are herein sometimes referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric Card.

The Market for Biometric Credit Cards

According to a to a press release issued by Goode Intelligence, an independent market research company, regarding their October 2018 report on the biometrics payment sector, nearly 579 million biometric credit/debit cards will be in use over the next five (5) years. Goode Intelligence believes* there is a significant market opportunity for biometric payment cards. and forecasts that by 2023 there will be almost 579 million biometric payment cards in use around the world.

“Contactless card payments are even outperforming mobile in many regions. Many consumers prefer to use a contactless payment card over a mobile payment equivalent and according to Goode Intelligence research, many users would like to use cards in contactless mode for higher value transactions. Biometric payment cards not only offer improved security by removing the PIN but also allow frictionless payments for higher value transactions,” stated Good Intelligence.

SmartMetric engaged an outside independent research company to survey a statistically relevant sample of Visa credit card holders in the United States. One of the questions asked showed that nearly 67% of these credit card holders would be willing to pay $69.95 for a biometric secured credit card.

The survey asked:

Would you pay for a safer biometric secured credit card that has a built-in fingerprint reader for your protection?

A1.	Yes	64.5%

	No	35.5%

The SmartMetric Biometric Technology and Products

SmartMetric’s founder, Chaya Hendrick is the originator and inventor of various miniature biometric activated cards, including the SmartMetric biometric fingerprint activated payments card with an embedded fully functional fingerprint reader inside. the card. The card is the size and thickness of a standard credit card. The SmartMetric biometric payments card provides for high level security for credit and debit cards by adding biometric authentication and activation to Europay, MasterCard and Visa (“EMV”) chip cards in use around the world. The SmartMetric biometric payments card has been manufactured to be totally interoperable with existing EMV chip card readers, ATMs as well as banking payments infrastructure. Using the advanced electronic miniaturization by SmartMetric to make its biometric credit/debit cards the Company has also created a multi-functional biometric building access control and logical network access card.

Since July 1, 2018, SmartMetric has commenced efforts towards creating a biometric health insurance card with memory for storing a person’s medical files, including medical images. This allows a person to securely take with them their private medical files inside the card when traveling away from home. For the first time, a person’s complete medical files can be stored in a credit card-sized card and the information is only able to be accessed by the card holder’s own fingerprint. The company is in discussion with significant health membership organizations concerning the offering of the SmartMetric Biometric Medical Records card to their respective members.

SmartMetric has developed its rechargeable battery powered fingerprint reader that is of a scale that fits “inside” a standard credit or debit card. The cardholder has stored inside the card his or her fingerprint. To activate the card the person swipes the fingerprint sensor, the sensor is connected to an internal microprocessor that manages the fingerprint sensor fingerprint image capture and comparison matching with the pre-stored fingerprint of the cardholder held in the internal electronic memory of the card. The card has a surface mounted EMV chip as found on EMV banking chip cards that is activated or turned on only after a card holder’s fingerprint has been scanned and verified using the SmartMetric miniature “in-card” biometric scanner.

There are over seven (7) billion EMV chip cards used by banks around the world for credit cards, ATM cards and debit cards according to EMVco. SmartMetric sees this existing user base as a natural market for its advanced biometric activated card technology for the credit and debit card market. SmartMetric has established a network of card manufacturers and technology distributors to market its in-card biometric products to card issuing banks and in the case of the SmartMetric biometric security card, to businesses.

SmartMetric has completed development of its biometric card and is now actively marketing its card to major card issuing banks throughout the world in partnership with established card distributors and dealers.

SmartMetric has also developed a multi-function logical and physical access security card this size and thickness of a standard credit card. Utilizing the small size breakthroughs by the Company in its biometric payments card development, SmartMetric has successfully developed a biometric security card that is the size and thickness of a standard credit card that can easily fit inside a person’s wallet.

As with the biometric payments card, the SmartMetric security card has an internal rechargeable battery that is used to power the card’s internal processor used in the biometric fingerprint scan. All functions and operations of the card are subject to a valid fingerprint scan and match of the card user.

On February 1, 2019, SmartMetric entered into a manufacturing and license agreement with Servired, SA. Servired operates the major payments network in Spain for credit and debit card transactions. Servired is owned by 65 Banks as shareholders and has over 100 Banks in Europe, the United States and South America as customers and users of its technology.

The Servired Advantis EMV Chip and operating system is being used by Banks around the world on their Debit and Credit Cards. 1.3 Billion Servired Advantis cards have been issued by their member banks worldwide.

SmartMetric is now in the process of manufacturing it’s biometric credit/debit card with the ServiRed Advantis payments card chip and operating system. This will allow over 100 Banks worldwide who are already using the ServiRed Advantis chip and chip card operating system to easily issue this new SmartMetric – ServiRed/Advantis biometric credit and debit card.

Additional technological advances have now been made on both the Company’s biometric credit/debit card and its multifunction cyber security, building access biometric card.

In Card Fingerprint Matching and Verification

The SmartMetric Biometric card incorporates a rechargeable, lithium polymer battery. This battery is rechargeable, very thin and has been designed by SmartMetric to fit inside the SmartMetric fingerprint credit card sized card. This battery is manufactured by a third party unaffiliated with the Company to SmartMetric’s specifications. This battery is embedded inside the card.

Other components needed for manufacture of the SmartMetric Biometric Card include, but are not limited to, sensors, microchips, memory chips and processor chips. The ultra-thin circuit board developed by SmartMetric has, in total, nearly 200 active and passive components. The sources and availability of these materials are numerous, readily available and should not affect the ability of SmartMetric to meet future demand. The supply of memory processors and passive components may be interrupted at any time based on global supply/demand issues. We have not experienced component supply issues to date and the Company, as a matter of policy, has alternative component sources to mitigate and protect against supply chain issues.

The biometric card has been designed to offer the option of a built-in radio frequency transmitter for contactless access and identity verification. The RFID contactless chip transmission is turned on using the card users fingerprint verification.

The thinness form factor of many of the components, has also resulted in the Company having to develop its own process for high volume electronic assembly. The Company has also successfully overcome the challenge of developing a process of encapsulating the electronics in plastic to create the credit card sized biometric fingerprint activated card that also has an internal rechargeable battery.

Standard credit card manufacturing utilizes machines that require high pressure and high temperature in fusing top and bottom sheets of plastic together thereby encasing any electronics inside the card. Given the complexity of the card’s electronics and vulnerability to an assembly process involving high heat and high pressure, damage to the electronic circuitry was a major challenge for the Company to overcome. Research and development activities of the Company allowed the Company to achieve this ability through a trade secret process that protects the silicon and internal battery that is mounted directly onto the card’s internal electronics circuit board.

The Security Technology Industry

SmartMetric Biometric Multi-Function Security Card

The Access management market is estimated to grow from USD 8.09 billion in 2016 to USD 14.82 billion by 2021

SmartMetric has developed a multi-function logical and physical access security card this size and thickness of a standard credit card.

Ltd (KBV Research) November 2016 KBV Research is a name owned by IT Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Biometrics

Biometric technologies identify users by electronically capturing a specific biological or behavioral characteristic of that individual, such as a fingerprint or voice or facial feature, and creating a unique digital identifier from that characteristic. Because this process relies on largely unalterable human characteristics, positive identification can be achieved independent of any information possessed by the individual seeking authorization.

The process of identity authentication typically requires that a person present for comparison with one or more of the following factors:

●

Something known such as a password, PIN or mother’s maiden name;

●

Something carried such as a token, card, or key; or

●

something physical such as fingerprint, voice pattern, signature motion, facial shape or other biological or behavioral characteristic.

Comparison of biological and behavioral characteristics has historically been the most reliable and accurate of the three factors but has also been the most difficult and costly to implement into a single product that can automatically verify the identity of a user accessing a computer network or the Internet. However, recent advances in biometric collection technologies (both biometric hardware products and their associated processing software) have increased the speed and accuracy and reduced the cost of implementing biometrics in commercial environments. Management believes that individuals, website operators, government organizations, and businesses will increasingly use this method of identity authentication.

Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of identification is preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and personal identification numbers (“PINs”) for two reasons: (i) the person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification to be identification; and (ii) identification based on biometric techniques obviates the need to remember a password or carry a token. By replacing PINs, biometric techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized access to or fraudulent use of cellular phones, Biometric cards, desktop PCs, workstations and computer networks. It can be used during transactions conducted via telephone and Internet (e-commerce and e-banking). In automobiles, biometrics could replace keys-less entry devices. The SmartMetric fingerprint activated credit card that has the fingerprint encased inside the credit card has been developed to replace the less secure PIN’s for credit and debit cards.

PINs and passwords may be forgotten, may be hacked and token-based methods of identification, e.g., passports and driver’s licenses, may be forged, stolen or lost. Various types of biometric systems are being used for real-time identification, with the most popular based on facial recognition and fingerprint matching. Other biometric systems utilize iris and retinal scanning, speech, facial thermograms and hand geometry. Of the biometric options available to work with a credit or debit card, fingerprint scanning is the only biometric methodology that has been successfully reduced in size to fit inside such cards.

A biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system, which makes a personal identification by determining the authenticity of a specific physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. An important issue in designing a practical system is to determine how an individual is identified.

There are two different ways to resolve a person’s identity; verification and identification. Verification (Am I whom I claim I am?) involves confirming or denying a person’s claimed identity. In identification, one has to establish a person’s identity (Who am I?).

As stated above, the SmartMetric fingerprint biometric card has been designed as a credit-card sized card embedded with an integrated circuit, contact chip and biometric fingerprint sensor. The SmartMetric card has been designed to provide not only memory capacity, but also computational capability along with secure non-refutable identification of the user. We believe that the self-containment of SmartMetric’s card makes it substantially resistant to attack, as it will not need to depend upon vulnerable external resources. Because of this characteristic, we expect that the SmartMetric biometric card may be used in different applications, which require strong security protection and authentication.

The physical structure of a card is specified by the International Standards Organization (“ISO”). Generally, this structure is made up of three elements: (i) the plastic card, which is the most basic one and has the dimensions of 85.60mm x 53.98 x 0.80mm; (ii) an electronic circuit board inlay; and (iii) a contact chip that are embedded in the card.

The SmartMetric card has been designed to conform to ISO standards. The electronic circuit inlay is a part of, and not distinct from, the biometric card.

The communication line between the card and ATMs and other standard Smart Card reading devices is bi-directional serial transmission, which conforms to ISO standards. Card commands and input data are sent to the chip that responds with status words and output data upon the receipt of these commands and data. Information is sent in half duplex mode (transmission of data is in one direction at a time). This protocol, together with the restriction of the bit rate, is designed to prevent data attack on the card. Other data protection systems are utilized inside the card including advanced encryption.

In general, the size, the thickness and bend requirements for the biometric card were designed to protect the card from being spoiled physically.

Recent Developments

Effective February 1, 2019, AMC Auditing (“AMC”), the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company was acquired by Prager Metis CPAs LLC (“Prager”). As a result of this transaction, on April 10, 2019, AMC resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Concurrent with such resignation, the Company’s Board approved the engagement of Prager as the new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company

Going Concern

Our auditors’ report on our June 30, 2018 financial statements expressed an opinion that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to rely on direct equity investment in the Company through the sale of shares by way of private placement offerings.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

All of the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We have identified the following as our significant accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents - Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs.

The decrease of $159,613 or 30.2%, in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily the result of a decrease in consulting expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenditures related to employee compensation, legal, accounting and tax, other professional services, and general operating expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) totaled $39,468 and $27,937 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest income (expense)

We had net interest expense of $39,468 in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $27,937 net interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The increase of $11,531 was attributable to interest expenses related to accrued but unpaid salary of our CEO pursuant to an amended and restated employment agreement entered into on July 1, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception in 2002 as a result of significant expenditures for operations and research and development and the lack of any revenue. We have an accumulated deficit of $26,642,596 as of March 31, 2019 and anticipate that we will continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Through March 31, 2019, we have funded our operations through the private sale of our equity securities and exercises of options and warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $26.6 million from inception through March 31, 2019. Cash at March 31, 2019 were $60,929.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $0 and $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we received net proceeds of $460,317 from the sales of our securities, compared to $520,242 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was due to lower sales of the Company’s securities in private placements. We continue to seek funding through private placement sales of equity to fund our continued operations, sales and marketing and ongoing research and development programs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are not required to provide the information required by this item as we are considered a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at that reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness described below.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are being performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties in all of our financially significant processes and have concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness. We plan to remediate this weakness over the next 12 months.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and that there are material weaknesses as identified herein, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on October 12, 2018 and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

As of March 31, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following information is given with regard to unregistered securities sold since January 1, 2019 and not previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K. The following securities were issued in private offerings pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated thereunder, relating to offers of securities by an issuer not involving any public offering.
