APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As described more fully in the section entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills required to formulate and drive our strategic direction and achieve the annual and long-term performance necessary to create stockholder value. The program also seeks to align executive compensation with stockholder value on an annual and long-term basis through a combination of base pay, annual incentives and long-term incentives.

We actively review and assess our executive compensation program in light of the industry in which we operate, the marketplace for executive talent in which we compete, and evolving compensation governance and best practices. We are focused on compensating our executive officers fairly and in a manner that promotes our compensation philosophy and is consistent with our annual and longer-term performance. Specifically, our compensation program for executive officers focuses on the following principal objectives:

The Action by Written Consent

On December 16, 2020, along with the above Reduction in Authorized, the holders of a majority of the voting power approved the following:

The holders of a majority of the votes of the Company’s outstanding voting securities are comprised of three shares of Series A Preferred Shares which equals 80% of the current and outstanding preferred shares (calculated by multiplying the number of current outstanding preferred and common shares by four (4)), for voting purposes only, held by management, added to the current outstanding common and preferred shares; thus, combined with the 414,175,948 issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred shares, there would be a total of 1,656,850,472 voting capital shares of which 1,242,674,524 have voted in favor of the action. These Preferred Series ‘A’ Shares are not convertible to shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect any convertible securities currently outstanding (including the Series B Preferred Shares), other than a few Convertible Promissory notes with fixed convertible prices, as such securities convert for the most part based on a percentage calculation related to stock price alone.

No Further Voting Required

We are not seeking consent, authorizations, or proxies from you. Section 17-16-724 of the Wyoming Statutes and our bylaws provide that actions requiring a vote of the stockholders may be approved by written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The approval by at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of our voting securities is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split and the decrease in the authorized shares of common stock.

Notice Pursuant to the Wyoming Statutes

Pursuant to the Wyoming Statutes, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of corporate action by written consent to our stockholders who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as the notice required by the Wyoming Statutes.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

The Wyoming Statutes does not provide dissenters’ rights of appraisal to our stockholders in connection with the matters approved by the Written Consent.

“Company,” “our company,” “us,” “SFT,” “StrikeForce,” “we” and “our” refer to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. unless the context requires otherwise

Background

We are a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. Our ongoing strategy is developing and marketing our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, healthcare, legal, government, technology, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to continue to grow our business primarily through our expanding sales channel and internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. Apart from our 49% holding in BlockSafe Technologies, Inc., we have no other subsidiaries.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products, and harm our business and results of operations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic did impact our operating results as sales to customers in the second and third quarters were down 17% and 15%, respectively, from the first quarter of the year. However, we have not observed any impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

As of (and subsequent to) September 30, 2020, we have been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for our team members for the past several weeks, including the temporary closure of our corporate office and having team members work remotely. Most customers and vendors have transitioned to electronic submission of invoices and payments.

Our executive office is located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite 603, Edison, NJ 08837. Our telephone number is (732) 661-9641. We have 9 employees. Our Company’s website is www.strikeforcetech.com (we are not including the information contained in our website as part of, nor should the information be relied upon or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Meeting Consent).

Reverse Stock Split and Changes in Authorized Shares

In April 2020, our Board of Directors approved a 1:500 reverse stock split that was approved by stockholders controlling 80% of our common stock. The reverse stock split was effectuated on June 25, 2020 and all share and per share amounts on the accompanying financial statements are presented in post-split amounts as if the split occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

In April 2020, an increase of our common stock from 12,000,000,000 to 17,000,000,000 shares was authorized.

In April 2020, a decrease of our common stock from 17,000,000,000 to 14,000,000,000 shares was authorized.

Business

We are a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. StrikeForce Technical Services Corporation was incorporated in August 2001 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On September 3, 2004, we changed our name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. On November 15, 2010, we redomiciled under the laws of the State of Wyoming. We initially conducted operations as an integrator and reseller of computer hardware and telecommunications equipment and services until December 2002. In December 2002, and formally memorialized in September 2003, we acquired certain intellectual property rights and patent pending technology from NetLabs.com, Inc. (“NetLabs”) including the rights to further develop and sell their principal technology. In addition, certain officers of NetLabs joined our company as officers and directors of our company. Our ongoing strategy is developing and marketing our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, healthcare, legal, government, technology, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to continue to grow our business primarily through our globally expanding sales channel and internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. Apart from our 49% holding in BlockSafe Technologies, Inc., we have no other subsidiaries and we conduct our operations from our corporate office in Edison, New Jersey.

We began our operations in 2001 as a reseller and integrator of computer hardware and iris biometric technology. From the time we started our operations through the first half of 2003, we derived the majority of our revenues as an integrator. In December 2002, upon the acquisition of the licensing rights to certain intellectual property and patent pending technology from NetLabs, we shifted the focus of our business to developing and marketing our own suite of security products. Based upon our acquired licensing rights and additional research and development, we have developed various identification protection software products to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect users from identity theft.

We completed the development of our ProtectID® platform at the end of June 2006, we completed the core development of our keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger product, GuardedID®, in December 2006 and commenced deployment of our new mobile product, MobileTrust® into the mobile stores in 2015. All are currently being sold and distributed. ProtectID® patent titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System" is protected by three patents. The keystroke encryption technology we developed and use in our GuardedID® product is protected by three patents. MobileTrust® has a patent pending, as of March 2013.

In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) had issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the technology relating to our ProtectID® product. In January 2011, we received notice that the USPTO issued to us Patent No. 7,870,599. This “Out-of-Band” Patent went through a USPTO Re-Examination process starting on August 16, 2011 and concluded on December 27, 2011, with all of our patent claims remaining intact and eight additional patent claims being added. Since 2011, we submitted additional continuation patents on the “Out-of-Band” Patent, two additional patents granted and a fourth pending.

In January 2013, we were assigned the entire right, title and interest in the “Out-of-Band” Patent from NetLabs, with the agreement of the developer, and the assignment was recorded with the USPTO.

In February 2013, we executed a retainer agreement with our patent attorneys to aggressively enforce our patent rights as “Out-of-Band Authentication” was becoming the standard for authenticating consumers in the financial market and for many Saas application users (e.g., SalesForce, Quickbooks, etc.). In February 2013, our patent attorneys submitted a new “Out-of-Band” Patent continuation, which was granted.

In March 2013, our patent attorneys submitted a new “Methods and Apparatus for securing user input in a mobile device” Patent, which is now patent pending. Our MobileTrust® product is the invention supporting the patent pending.

In July 2013, we received notice that the USPTO had added approximately sixty additional patent claims for our Out-of-Band patent we received in January 2011, by issuing to us Patent No. 8,484,698 thereby strengthening our position with clients and our current and potential lawsuits.

In October 2013, we received notice that the USPTO issued to us Patent No. 8,566,608 “Methods and apparatus for securing keystrokes from being intercepted between the keyboard and a browser.” This protects our GuardedID® product and the keystroke encryption portion of our MobileTrust® products.

In February 2014, we received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for our third patent relating to our "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System" Patent No. 7,870,599. Upon receipt of this “Out-of-Band” patent we filed another continuation patent.

In March 2014, we received Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for our second patent and first continuation of our Keystroke Encryption patent, which only furthers our protection for all mobile devices when utilizing any keyboard for data entry. Upon receipt of this Notice, we also filed another continuation patent for Patent No. 8,566,608.

In April 2014, we were granted our third patent relating to our “Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System” Patent No. 8,713,701.

In September 2014, we filed an International Patent for MobileTrust® (PCT/US20114/029905).

In March 2015, we received our third patent from the USPTO, Patent No. 8,973,107, of our Keystroke Encryption patent. This enhances our position for our Keystroke Encryption product, GuardedID®, and our MobileTrust® product.

In December 2016, we executed a retainer agreement with a second patent attorney, to aggressively enforce our patent rights as “Out-of-Band Authentication” has become the standard for authenticating consumers in the financial market and for many Saas application users (e.g., SalesForce, Quickbooks, etc.).

On September 6, 2017, we entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement with two parties for the purpose of funding the enforcement of certain patents relating to the process of providing dual channel authentication against several infringers. These patent infringement cases are still in process. Our management believes, but cannot guarantee, that this Litigation Funding Agreement will allow us to pursue litigation against any infringement on our patents.

Our suite of products is targeted to the financial, e-commerce, corporate, government, healthcare, legal, insurance, technology and retail markets. We seek to locate customers in a variety of ways. These primarily include contracts with value added resellers and distributors (both inside the United States and internationally), direct sales calls initiated by our internal staff, exhibitions at security and technology trade shows, through the media, through consulting agreements, and through our agent relationships. Our sales generate revenue either as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) model, through a Hosting/License agreement, bundled with other company’s products or through direct purchase by distributors and resellers. We price our products for cloud consumer transactions based on the number of transactions in which our software products are utilized. We also price our products for business applications based on the number of users. These pricing models provide our company with one-time, monthly, quarterly and annual recurring revenues with volume discounts. We are also generating revenues from a licensing agreement we executed with Cyber Safety in 2015, which was modified in 2019.

We generated all of our revenues of $768,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 (compared to $234,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018), from the sales of our security products. The increase in revenues was due to the increase in our software, hardware, services, maintenance, and support sales. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $162,000 compared to $611,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $449,000 or 73.5%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to impairments caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in a decrease in our software and service revenues. Revenues are derived from software, key fobs and services. We have realized delays in revenues from some of our new distributor’s that, although there can be no assurances, we anticipate will appear in fiscal 2020 and/or 2021 but may be reduced due to the impairments caused by COVID-19. Additionally, we believe we have opportunities through our sales distribution channels, including current pilots, which we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, should increase revenues in 2020 and/or 2021 (subject to the impairments caused by COVID-19 or the effectiveness and distributions of recently announced vaccines which may be introduced starting in 2020), especially with the addition of our mobile security products and new multi-marketing partners.

We market our products globally to financial service firms, healthcare related companies, legal services companies, e-commerce companies, automotive, government agencies, multi-level marketing groups, the enterprise market in general, and with virtual private network companies, as well as technology service companies and retail distributors that service all the above markets. We seek such sales through our own direct efforts, with emphasis on retail, through distributors, resellers and third-party agents internationally. We are also seeking to license the technology as original equipment with computer hardware and software manufacturers. We are engaged in multiple production installations and pilot projects with various distributors, resellers and direct customers primarily in the United States. Our GuardedID® product is also being sold directly to consumers, primarily through the Internet as well as distributors, resellers, third party agents, affiliates and potential OEM agreements by bundling GuardedID® with their products (providing a value-add and competitive advantage to their own products and offerings). Currently this is the most active market for us with multiple programs in production. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, increases in revenues in fiscal 2020 and/or 2021 (subject to the impairments caused by COVID-19), from these programs. In addition, we have completed the development and testing of our new mobile products, MobileTrust® and GuardedID® Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK), which is in now available in the Apple Store and the Android Play Store. The mobile products play a major role in our anticipated, but not guaranteed (due to the impairments caused by COVID-19), fiscal 2020 and/or 2021 revenue projections.

BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. (“BlockSafe”) was formed on December 1, 2017 in the State of Wyoming. BlockSafe is in the business of providing total cyber security solutions and is the licensee from our company of our desktop anti-malware product GuardedID^® and our one of a kind mobile application called “MobileTrust®”. BlockSafe is intended to be developed as an enterprise focusing on using our licensed technology in the field of cryptocurrency and its use of blockchains. BlockSafe’s products include CryptoDefender® and ProtectID . BlockSafe also owns the patent for a product entitled BlockchainDefender™.

We have incurred substantial losses since our inception. Our management believes that our products provide a cost-effective and technologically competitive solution to address the problems of network security and identity theft in general. Guidance for the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) regulations include the requirement for solutions that have Two-Factor Out-of-Band Authentication and products that stop keylogging malware, real time, which our management believes our proprietary products uniquely and directly address. This guidance went into effect as of January 1, 2012. Based on this requirement in the FFIEC update (published in June 2011 with enforcement commencing in January 2012), we have experienced a growing increase in sales orders and inquiries every year. However, there can be no assurance that our products will continue to gain acceptance and continue to grow in the commercial marketplace or that one of our competitors will not introduce technically superior products. 

Because we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, a continual growing market demand, we are developing a sizeable global reseller and distribution channel as a strategy to generate, manage and fulfill the anticipated demand for our products across market segments, minimizing the requirement for an increase in our staff as we grow our distributor market. We have minimized the concentration on our initial direct sales efforts as our distribution and reseller channels continue to grow internationally and will require appropriate levels of support. Management believes that Cyber Security is a growing requirement as the pandemic continues, more people are working remotely as well as using digital forms on a regular basis. Consequently, the market demand, in our estimation, is increasing. However, our Company is also experiencing the impact of the pandemic. Currently our management is not working from our office location and this impairs our ability coordinate growth and impedes our ability to take advantage of the increasing market demand. Instead, like many businesses, we are focused in maintaining our business, in contrast to the prior business plan of continued growth. Most, if not all, of our business continues from home where it is difficult to operate under normal conditions. Many of our current clients also have experienced a dramatic slowdown in their business, limiting their ability to have the resources to pay for our services. We still produce revenues and through this Offering, we anticipate, but cannon guarantee, we will have the resources to advance our video conferencing tool that will we believe will provide authentication and encryption (using our products already built), for which we believe will have a great interest in the market. Currently, we have companies already interested in our beta that we will be starting in the fourth quarter of 2020.

On August 24, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Cyber Safety, Inc., a New York corporation (“Cyber Safety”) for Cyber Safety to license, and retain an option to purchase, the patents and intellectual property related to the GuardedID® and MobileTrust® software. Cyber Safety had the option to buy our GuardedID® patent for $9,000,000 that expires on September 30, 2020. In March 2019, the option to purchase was modified to increase the purchase price to $10,000,000 and extend the expiration date to September 30, 2021. If the purchase price is not paid by September 30, 2021, it will increase to $11,000,000 and be due September 30, 2022. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, Cyber Safety will complete the purchase by September 30, 2021. Management believes, but cannot provide assurances, that Cyber Safety will exercise this option. Management believes Cyber Safety will exercise its option to purchase GuardedID based on ongoing constructive discussions with Cyber Safety. There have been no new negotiations with them in regard to the exercise of the option, but there are continuing discussions with them in regards to some of their large contracts, such as with Fiserv/First Data and AON Insurance. The option remains open until September 30, 2022 and Cyber Safety, to our knowledge, is still contemplating the exercise of the option. In the event the option is exercised, StrikeForce will have no patent rights for GuardedID and MobileTrust’s products and patents but will retain the exclusive ability to sell these products in the retail market. Cyber Safety will also resell our GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products, for which we will receive a royalty, while we retain an unlimited license to resell those products. Cyber Safety also licensed the Malware Suite until September 30, 2020 and agreed to pay us 15% to 20% of the net amount Cyber Safety receives from this product. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded revenue of $380 and $280,000, respectively, from Cyber Safety.

Our Products

StrikeForce is a software development and services company. We own and are seeking to commercially exploit various identification protection software products that we developed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access, real time, and to protect network owners and users from cyber security attacks and data breaches. Our principal products ProtectID®, GuardedID®, inclusive of our unique CryptoColor® technology and MobileTrust®, are proprietary authentication and keystroke encryption technologies that are intended to eliminate unauthorized access to computer networks and all mobile devices, and to prevent unauthorized individuals from copying (logging) keystrokes. We are increasing our market for our suite of products in the financial services, e-commerce, corporate, healthcare, government and consumer sectors. Our cyber security products are as follows:

Our products sometimes include software and hardware that we contractually license from other vendors. These products include VASCO (an authentication and e-signature solutions company) tokens, as well as additional authentication and telecommunication software devices. We also purchase tokens and devices from HyperSecurity Solutions in Vancouver, Canada.

The ProtectID® Cloud Service can be hosted by our service provider (we have a strategic arrangement with a third party SSAE 16 hosting service) as well as the ProtectID® Out-of-Band and Multi-Factor Platform, which can be installed internally in a customer’s infrastructure or as a hybrid implementation. With the exception of our free redistributable Microsoft software components and our reseller agreements with VASCO and HyperSecurity Solutions, none of our contracts for hardware or software are with a sole supplier of that feature or product.

Factors that are considered important to our success include, but are not limited to, the following:

Business Model

We are focusing primarily on developing sales through “channel” relationships in which our products are offered by other manufacturers, distributors, value-added resellers and agents, internationally. In 2016, we added and publicly announced additions to our global distribution sales channel, which provides additional presence for us in the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa. We continue to add additional channel partners, especially on the consumer side and developed a new retail business. We also sell our suite of security products directly from our Edison, New Jersey office, which also augments our channel partner relationships. It is our strategy that these “channel” relationships will provide the greater percentage of our revenues ongoing, as was the case in the past two years. Examples of the channel relationships that we are seeking include already established original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and bundled relationships with other security technology and software providers that would integrate or bundle the enhanced security capabilities of ProtectID®, GuardedID® and/or MobileTrust® into their own product lines, including our MobileTrust® SDK, thereby providing greater value to their clients. These would include providers of networking software and manufacturers of computer and telecommunications hardware and software that provide managed services, and multi-level marketing groups, as well as all markets interested in increasing the value of their products and packages, such as financial services software, anti-virus, government integrators and identity theft product companies. We signed various new distributors during 2018 and 2019, and we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, an increase in revenues in 2020 and/or 2021 (subject to the impairments caused by COVID-19). Additionally, Cyber Safety originally purchased their option to buy our GuardedID® patent for nine million dollars ($9,000,000) to be paid by September 30, 2020, and will resell our GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products, for which we will receive a royalty, while we retain a perpetual license to resell those products (this transaction subject to the impairments caused by COVID-19). In March 2019, the option to purchase agreement was modified to increase the purchase price to $10,000,000 and extend the expiration date to September 30, 2021. Also, if the note as modified is not paid in full by the extended due date, then the purchase price shall increase to $11,000,000 with a due date of September 30, 2022. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, Cyber Safety will make the purchase by September 30, 2021 (subject to the impairments caused by COVID-19). Management believes, but cannot provide assurances, that Cyber Safety will exercise this option. In the event the option is exercised, StrikeForce will have no patent rights for GuardedID and MobileTrust’s products and patents, but will retain the exclusive ability to sell these products in the retail market. The distributors have already obtained new clients and we expect, but cannot guarantee, that more clients will be obtained in fiscal 2020 and thereafter. There is no guarantee as to the timing and success of these business relationships or reaching our self-imposed expectations.

From our MobileTrust® security application, built with our sCloud registration process, we have created and announced two new products: our new ProtectID® Mobile OTP (One Time Password) to be used with ProtectID®; and our new GuardedID® Mobile keystroke encryption software development kit (SDK). Both new products are now in production. With the creation of this new GuardedID® Mobile SDK, we now focus the sales of this software product to the development groups of our target markets for it to be added to their mobile applications. We are in discussions with many large-scale parties that are interested in this software. Management has already received requests for this software, as keystroke encryption malware grows and remains a major problem for the mobile-cyber security market, particularly with anti-virus products being viewed as non-effective against malware threats.

Our primary target markets include financial services such as banks and insurance companies, healthcare providers, legal services, government agencies through integrators, technology platforms, e-commerce based services companies, telecommunications and cellular carriers, technology software companies, government agencies and consumers, especially for our mobile and keystroke encryption products. We are focusing our concentration on cyber security and data breach strategic problem areas, such as where compliance with financial, healthcare, legal and government regulations are key and stolen passwords are used to acquire private information illegally. In 2018 and 2019, several of our channel partners had pilots and client implementations in place that are expected, although no assurances can be provided, to increase our revenues in 2020 and/or 2021(subject to the impairments caused by COVID-19). Our mobile products went into production during the first quarter of 2016 and the revenues related to those products are increasing, primarily as results of the efforts of our channel partners, Cyber Safety and others. There is no guarantee as to the timing and continued success of these efforts.

Because we are now expecting a continual, recurring growing market demand, especially in the mobility and encryption retail markets, we continue to develop an increasing global reseller and distribution channel as a strategy to generate, manage and fulfill demand for our products across market segments, minimizing the requirement for an increase in our staff as we grow our distributor market. We continue to minimize the concentration on our initial direct sales efforts as our distribution and reseller channels continue to grow internationally and provide appropriate levels of sales and support to the growing Cyber Security market.

We seek to generate revenue through fees for ProtectID® based on client consumer usage in the financial, healthcare services and legal services markets, as well as enterprises in general, through our Cloud Service, plus one-time and annual per person fees in the enterprise markets which often are for in-house installations of our products, and set-up and recurring transaction fees when the product is accessed in our Cloud Service, along with annual maintenance fees, and other one-time and recurring fees. We have also implemented our new ProtectID® v4.01, which includes our Mobile One-Time-Password. We also intend to generate revenues through sales of our GuardedID® product. GuardedID® pricing is for an annual license and we discount for volume purchases. GuardedID® pricing models, especially when bundling through OEM contracts, include monthly and quarterly recurring revenues. As more agreements are reached by our distributors, we are experiencing monthly increasing sales growth, through the execution of GuardedID® bundled OEM agreements. We also provide our clients a choice of operating our ProtectID® software internally by licensing it or through our hosted Cloud Service or a hybrid that some clients have implemented and none of our competitors presently offer. GuardedID® requires a download on each and every computer it protects, whether for employees or consumers. We have four GuardedID® products, (i) a standard version which protects browser data entry only, (ii) a premium version which protects almost all the applications running under Microsoft Windows on the desktop, including Microsoft Office Suite and almost all applications running on the desktop, (iii) an Enterprise version which, in addition, provides the Enterprise administrative rights and the use of Microsoft’s Enterprise tools for the product’s deployment, and (iv) an Apple version for all the latest MAC operating systems and for the browsers and entire desktop. Our MobileTrust® mobile product will be priced for the consumer through the appropriate mobile phone stores, as well as direct, distribution and OEM sales for higher volume enterprises, including volume discounts to the degree allowed by the telecommunications providers. Our GuardedID® Mobile SDK (software development kit) went to the open market in the second quarter of 2016. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, steadily increasing revenues from this product offering.

Our management believes that our products provide a cost-effective and technologically competitive solution to address the increasing problems of network security and cyber security in general. Guidance for the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) regulations include the requirement for solutions that have Two-Factor Out-of-Band Authentication and products that stop keylogging malware, real time, which our management believes our proprietary products uniquely and directly address. This guidance went into effect as of January 1, 2012. Additionally, the 2015 Verizon Data Breach report, published in April 2016, stated that 80% of all the data breaches they reported would not have occurred if the corporations used two factor authentication, which our management believes would have been prevented with products such as our ProtectID® system. The report also indicates that over 79% of the data breaches would most likely not have occurred if the corporations breached used anti-keylogging software, such as our GuardedID® system in addition to the typical anti-virus programs. Based on the FFIEC requirement, the latest Verizon Data Breach Report and the new articles from the White House urging law firms and legal services firms to add two factor authentication, we have recently experienced a growing increase in pilots and sales orders and inquiries specifically in the financial and legal markets. In January 2014, PCI Compliance published an update that includes the requirement for not only encrypting data at rest, but also to encrypt data in motion including the keystrokes users enter in their device. Additionally, Symantec's senior vice-president for information security, Brian Dye, told the Wall Street Journal that anti-virus "is dead", in an article published in May 2014. However, there can be no assurance that our products will continue to gain acceptance and continue to grow in the commercial marketplace or that one of our competitors will not introduce technically superior products.

Marketing

Our multi-channel marketing strategy includes:

1. Direct sales to enterprise and commercial customers. In this effort, we joined ACS at the RSA Security Show, as well as attending other security related shows and we are looking at other sales alternatives in order to respond aggressively to inquiries related to our products.

2. The global addition of resellers, agents & distributors (our strategic sales channel) who distribute and resell our products and services to enterprise and commercial customers globally (technology and software product distributors, systems integrators, managed service companies, other security technology and software vendors, telecom companies, cyber security related product companies, etc.). Presently, our most active channel partner is ACS.

3. Application Service Provider (ASP) Partners: Our third-party service provides a hosting platform that facilitates faster implementations at competitive prices for our Cloud Service option.

4. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM): SFT products are sold to other security technology vendors that integrate ProtectID®, GuardedID® and now GuardedID® Mobile SDK into their products (bundling) and services providing for monthly/annual increasing recurring revenues.

5. Internet sites and retail stores, such as Target, Office Depot, Amazon, and HSN (US), that sell GuardedID® and MobileTrust®, to consumers and small enterprises online and in the stores.

6. Technology and other providers and resellers, agents and distributors interested in purchasing and or selling our new MobileTrust® cyber solution for all mobile devices, initially for all Apple and Android devices.

7. Outside Independent consultants selling our products for commission only, focusing on the healthcare, legal, travel and consumer markets.

Our Cloud service provider, Hosting.com, was purchased by Ntirety in 2019. We have been under contract Hosting.com since December 2007 when we executed an agreement with a nationwide premier data center and co-location services provider who functions as an Application Service Provider for our ProtectID®, GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products, which require a secondary server used for the “Out-of-Band” two-factor authentication technology. We believe that this relationship improves the implementation time, reduces the cost and training requirements, and allows for ease of scalability, with hot backups in multiple locations across the U.S., on an as needed basis. Our sCloud site is also SSAE 16 certified, which is critical to providing a secure compliant service that is required by most of our clients. Our agreement with the services provider was for a one-year (1) term, initially ending in December 2008 and renewing automatically for one-year (1) terms, and is still in effect. The relationship can be terminated by either party on sixty days’ written notice. The cloud service is based on a flat monthly fee per the terms of the contract that can increase as we require additional services.

Intellectual Property

Starting in 2016, we worked with one patent attorney firm to aggressively enforce our patent rights. As of March 1, 2019, we no longer retain that particular firm (Ropes & Gray LLP) and we are currently searching for a new firm that will pick up their pending enforcement cases.

We successfully settled our first major patent lawsuit in January 2016.

Our patent attorneys filed our fourth, fifth and sixth “Out of Band” continuation patents. We currently have three patents granted to us for Out-of-Band ProtectID® (Patent Nos.: 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701). In March 2013, our patent attorneys submitted a new “Methods and Apparatus for securing user input in a mobile device” Patent, which is no longer being pursued because of our inability of moving it forward. MobileTrust® is also covered by our GuardedID® patents. We cannot provide assurances that the latter patents will be granted in fiscal 2019 or 2020.

We plan to continue our strategy to aggressively enforce the patent rights relating to our granted Keystroke Encryption patents that help protect our GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products. We were granted three related keystroke encryption patents for which we received the most recent patent on March 3, 2015 (Patent Nos.: 8,566,608, 8,732,483 and 8,973,107).

We have four trademarks that have been approved and registered: ProtectID®, GuardedID®, MobileTrust® and CryptoColor®. Also, BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. has one registered trademark: CyberDefender®. A portion of our software is licensed from third parties and the remainder is developed by our own team of developers while leveraging some external consultant expertise as necessitated. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants, and third parties to protect the intellectual property rights.

On September 6, 2017, we entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement with two parties for the purpose of funding the enforcement of certain patents relating to the process of providing dual channel authentication against several infringers. These patent infringement cases are still in process. Our management believes, but cannot guarantee, that this Litigation Funding Agreement will allow us to pursue litigation against any infringement on our patents.

Business Strategy

Our primary strategy throughout 2019 and into 2020 is to focus on the growth and support of our channel partners, including distributors, resellers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Our internal sales team targets potential direct sales in industries that management believes provides the greatest potential for short term sales. These include small to medium sized financial institutions, government agencies, e-commerce, healthcare, legal and enterprise businesses. We are also executing agreements with strategic resellers and distributors for marketing, selling and supporting our products internationally. We primarily work with distributors, resellers and agents to generate the bulk of our sales internationally, realizing that this strategy takes longer to nurture, however it is progressing well. We are starting to realize positive results, however slowly, with our sales channel and anticipate, but cannot guarantee, a successful fiscal 2019, through the sales channel and from our new mobile and GuardedID® MAC products with a concentration of sales already contracted. There can be no assurances, however, that we will succeed in implementing our sales strategy. Although management believes that there is an increasingly strong market for our products as the need for cyber security solutions increases globally, we have not generated substantial revenue from the sale of our products and there is no assurance we can secure a market sufficient to permit us to achieve profitability in fiscal 2020.

Most of the costs that we incur are related to salaries, professional fees, marketing, sales and research & design. We increased our support and technology staff in 2018. Our operations presently require funding of approximately $150,000 per month. We expect that our monthly cash usage for operations will increase slightly due to contracted and anticipated increased volumes and adding some targeted channel marketing programs. We anticipate that the areas in which we will experience the greatest increase in operating expenses is in marketing, selling, product support, product research and new technology development in the growing cyber security market. We are committed to maintaining our current level of operating costs until we reach the level of revenues needed to absorb any potential increase in costs.

BlockSafe Technologies, Inc.

BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. (“BlockSafe”) was formed on December 1, 2017 in the State of Wyoming. BlockSafe is in the business of providing total cyber security solutions and is the licensee from our company of our desktop anti-malware product called “GuardedID^®” and a one of a kind mobile application called “MobileTrust®”. BlockSafe is intended to be developed as an enterprise focusing on using our licensed technology in the field of cryptocurrency and its use of blockchains. Small revenues have been generated to date as BlockSafe is still in the developmental stage. There can be no assurances on the success of this project or any profitability arising from BlockSafe.

As of December 31, 2019, no tokens have been developed or issued. There is no assurance as to whether, or at what amount, or on what terms, tokens will be available. Moreover, there can be no assurance how such technology will function, which could expose us to legal and regulatory issues. Cryptocurrency and its use of blockchains is still in the development stage and receiving mixed results. The Securities and Exchange Commission has, in its dissemination of information to the public, expressed that tokens in the United States would be treated as securities pursuant to the Howey Test. This standard has been adopted, in various forms, in numerous other jurisdictions. The European Union and China are contemplating their own form of cryptocurrency and Facebook Libra cryptocurrency recently lost the support of PayPal (see https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/cryptocurrency, which article is not incorporated by reference to this filing). In addition, legal and regulatory developments could render the technology impermissible, which could have a material adverse effect on BlockSafe and us.

At present, we hold 49% of the issued and outstanding BlockSafe common stock, with Mark L. Kay, Ramarao Pemmaraju, and, George Waller, our Directors, each a member of the BlockSafe Board of Directors and individually holding 10.3% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BlockSafe, each, for a combined total of 31%. BlockSafe meets the definition of a variable interest entity and based on the determination that the Company is the primary beneficiary of BlockSafe, BlockSafe’s operating results, assets and liabilities are consolidated by the Company.

 In June 2018, two members of our management team, George Waller, our Executive Vice President and Ramarao Pemmaraju, our Chief Technical Officer, were appointed to BlockSafe to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer, respectively. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer of StrikeForce, Mark L. Kay, also an appointee to the Board of Directors of BlockSafe, was appointed as Chairman and President of BlockSafe.

In 2018, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary BlockSafe issued promissory notes to investors in the aggregate of $775,500. As part of each promissory note agreement BlockSafe agreed to pay a financing obligation to the note holders equal to the note principal in tokens, as defined, to be issued by BlockSafe. In December 2018, BlockSafe agreed to issue 200,000 cryptocurrency tokens to an unrelated party for receipt of $50,000. In February 2019, the agreement was amended and the unrelated party is to receive an additional 100,000 tokens. No such tokens have been developed or issued as of September 30, 2020.

From February 2019 to March 2019, BlockSafe agreed to issue 450,000 cryptocurrency tokens and 56,250 restricted shares of BlockSafe common stock to four unrelated parties for receipt of $122,500. The tokens or restricted stock of BlockSafe have not been issued as of September 30, 2020.

From March to April 2019, five of the BlockSafe noteholders agreed to convert $295,500 of principal and $19,700 of accrued interest into 1,845,041 cryptocurrency tokens to be issued by BlockSafe. The tokens have not been issued as of September 30, 2020.

We have used the funds received from investors pursuant to the promissory notes for the efforts mentioned below to develop the Tokens and to develop an additional product and prepare it for sale. We currently don’t require additional funds for the development efforts.

The steps we have taken to date in our efforts to develop tokens include completing a formal plan for the Tokens, obtaining professional advice regarding the legal implications of developing tokens, and we have a blockchain for our Tokens (BSAFE®). We have not yet finalized a budget for the development of Tokens, we have not yet hired a full development team, we have not yet completed the development of Tokens, and we have not yet developed any payment, trading, or custody platform or infrastructure related to the Tokens. The failure to develop or issue these Tokens as of September 30, 2020 does not constitute an event of default under the promissory notes. It should be noted however that the promissory notes were not repaid pursuant to their terms, and are currently in default.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. had recorded a financing obligation of $1,263,000 to be paid in tokens, as defined. At September 30, 2020 and through the date of this filing, BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. has not completed the development or issued any tokens. At September 30, 2020, as the development of the tokens has not been completed and tokens do not exist, and any amounts received for tokens are not considered equity or revenue, management determined that 100% of the obligation of $1,263,000 is a liability to be settled by BlockSafe Technologies, Inc., through the issuance of tokens, or through other means if tokens are never issued.

We have stated to the note holders that once StrikeForce has the funds or BlockSafe sells the Tokens, the intent is to satisfy the outstanding balances as soon as possible. In the event that we are unable to satisfy the outstanding balances of the Notes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2019, an increase of the authorized shares of BlockSafe’s common stock from one thousand (1,000) to one hundred million (100,000,000), $0.0001 par value, was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to BlockSafe’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The amendment was adopted in March 2019.

In March 2019, a 1:15,000 forward stock split of BlockSafe’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to BlockSafe's Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The amendment was adopted in March 2019.

SafeVchat

Our company has expanded our product line recently with the addition of SafeVchat. Video conferencing has become the “new normal” way for businesses and consumers to meet. However, the current video conferencing solutions in the marketplace, in our opinion, were not designed to protect people, data, or, confidential information. They were designed with one single task, allow people to see & hear each other. Since, to our knowledge, none of the existing solutions were designed by a cyber security company they are, we believe, suffering from high churn rates and bad publicity due to the lack of security and numerous breaches. We believe that we are building the Industry’s most secure video conferencing solution which will include authenticated access, encrypted video, encrypted audio, encrypted keystrokes, and protection for your camera, microphone & speakers from hackers. StrikeForce is leveraging its existing patented cyber security solutions to create, in our estimation, the world’s most secure video conferencing solution, SafeVchat. There can be no assurances as to the success or profitability of this product.

Competition

The software development and services market is characterized by innovation and competition. There are several well-established companies within the authentication market that offer network security systems in our product market and newer companies with emerging technologies. We believe that our multi-patented “Out-of-Band” multi-factor identity authentication platform is an innovative, secure, adaptable, competitively priced, integrated network authentication platform. The main features of ProtectID® include: an open architecture “Out-of-Band” platform for user authentication; operating system independence; biometric layering; soft mobile tokens; mobile authentication; secure website logon; Virtual Private Network (“VPN”) access; domain authentication; newly added Office 365 authentication and multi-level authentication. Unlike other techniques for increased network security, ProtectID® does not rely on a specific authentication device or method (e.g., phone, tokens, smart cards, digital certificates, soft mobile tokens, or biometrics, such as a retinal or fingerprint scan). Rather ProtectID® has been developed as an “open platform” that incorporates an unlimited number of authentication devices and methods. For example, once a user has been identified to a computer network, a system deploying our ProtectID® authentication system permits the “Out-of-Band” authentication of that user by a telephone, iPhone, iPad, PDA, email, hard token, SSL client software, a biometric device such as a voice biometric, or others, before that user is permitted to access the network. By using “Out-of-Band” authentication methods, management believes that ProtectID®, now patented and protected through our ongoing litigation, with plans for additional litigation, provides a competitive product for customers with security requirements greater than typical name and password schemes for virtual private networks and computer systems with multiple users at remote locations, as examples. We also believe that our multi-patented keystroke encryption product, GuardedID®, offers an additional competitive edge for network security and e-commerce applications that should provide greater levels of security and the ability to evolve over time based on newer technologies when made available. There is less competition for the keystroke encryption product and there are no well-established companies in this space, which explains our current growth in pilots and sales for GuardedID®, especially relating to bundled channel partner programs. GuardedID® is critical to help prevent key logging viruses, one of the largest sources of cyberattacks and data breaches. GuardedID® also is protected with three patents. Our newest product, MobileTrust®, is ideal for bringing the functionality of our other two products, especially including keystroke encryption, to all mobile devices, with initial focus on all Apple and Android devices. This product is also protected with our GuardedID® patents and some of its features and functions are covered by the Out-of-Band Authentication patent. . Our other new mobile product is GuardedID® Mobile SDK, which allows our secured keyboard function as a software development kit for developers to purchase and integrate as part of their secured applications. Considering the features and functions, all our cyber solutions have limited competition based on our products’ ability to protect individual identities and computers/devices against some of the most dangerous and increasing threats. We also have great demand for the mobile products, which are being marketed to all potential new clients.

Although we believe that our suite of products offers competitive advantages, there is no assurance that any of these products will continue to increase its market share in the marketplace. Our competitors include established software and hardware companies that are likely to be better financed and to have established sales channels. Due to the high level of innovation in the software development industry, it is also possible that a competitor will introduce a product that provides a higher level of security than our products or which can be offered at prices that are more advantageous to the customer.

Concentrations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, sales to two customers comprised 72% and 14% of revenues, respectively. Our primary customer is Intersections, Inc., a provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, under which we operate pursuant to a Software License and Development Agreement. Intersections, based on a worldwide license granted pursuant to the Software License and Development Agreement, bundles our keyboard encryption and antikey-logging software, as a value add component into its premium identity theft protection service, IDENTITY GUARD® Total Protection for which we are compensated. The license is perpetual and becomes royalty free upon certain events (such as our filing for bankruptcy or similar protection or our failure to provide support). Our second largest customer is Digital River. Digital River is a reseller of certain software products (ProtectID®, GuardedID® and MobileTrust®)provided by the Company pursuant to a Reseller Agreement that has been in place since September 26, 2006. ProtectID® is an Out-of-Band Authentication product that provides application security. GuardedID® is a keystroke encryption product that stops keylogging in real time and MobileTrust® is an Android and Apple phone application, with its own keyboard to stop keylogging. The Reseller Agreement is perpetually renewed on a year by year basis unless terminated in writing sixty (60) days prior to each annual renewal date or, in general, for a breach of the Reseller Agreement. Upon termination, any outstanding obligation will be accelerated to thirty days from the termination date.

Legal Proceedings

On March 14, 2017, we initiated additional patent litigation against two major competitors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, for infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701. This litigation is ongoing. On June 13, 2017, one of the competitors initiated a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for patent infringement (which we believe is without merit and will defend vigorously). This litigation is ongoing.

On December 1, 2017, The United States District Court for the Central District of California issued an opinion in the StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. SecureAuth Corp. case, which invalidated claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701 under 35 U.S.C. §101. We strongly disagreed with the Court’s decision and an appeal was filed by our attorney in July 2019. In October 2019, the Supreme Court of the United States denied our petition for a writ of certiorari in StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. SecureAuth Corp (19-103). Thus, the claims asserted against SecureAuth in the Central District of California, case no. 2:17-cv-04314-JAK-SK, remain invalid under 35 U.S.C. 101. Our three patents contain a total of 108 claims, 43 claims were deemed invalid, however, 65 claims are still valid. Despite the Supreme Court’s decision, our Protect ID® products still retain patent protection and our management intends to further expand those protections with new patents in the coming months. In the meantime, we continue to monitor the Federal Courts because there are several cases (i.e. Berkheimer v. HP), whereby a decision for Berkheimer could change the appellate landscape for 101 motion cases. Additionally, U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Chris Coons (D-DE), along with several other Senators have released a bipartisan, bicameral draft bill that would reform Section 101 of the Patent Act in a manner we believe would be beneficial to us although the attainment of such reform may have been affected by the 2020 election results and incoming/outgoing Senators (although both sponsoring Senators won re-election). Management cannot guarantee that any pending claims or legislation will result in favorable decisions.

On May 13, 2020, a complaint was filed, specifically Continuation Capital, v StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., Case Number 2020-CA-002113NC, in the Twelfth Circuit Court in and for Sarasota County, Florida in a matter involving outstanding debt in the principal amount of $197,738.81. The complaint was settled and an order, following a fairness hearing, granted Continuation Capital 90,909 (post-split) shares, as a fee, and that number of common shares required to satisfy the debt, as converted, the valuation based as a forty five percent (45%) discount to market, with a shares issued pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(10) thereof, of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On May 13, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Continuation Capital, Inc. (“Continuation”). Continuation agreed to pay $197,738 owed to Company creditors, including $139,712 of convertible debt and accrued interest due to a related party (see Note 3), $29,400 of secured notes payable and accrued interest (see Note 4) and $28,626 of accounts payable. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue shares of its common stock to Continuation as consideration for the extinguishment of the debt, accrued interest, and accounts payables. The shares to be issued will be determined at a discount based on 45% of the lowest closing price of the Company common stock for the 30 trading days prior to the date of any issuance for payment. The Company determined that the settlement agreement with Continuation was a contract to settle debt with a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception, and in accordance with ASC 480-10, the obligation was measured at fair value. The Company determined the fair value of the settlement obligation was $360,000 and recorded this as a liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 11,585,725 shares of its common stock to Continuation for the payment of $284,119 of the settlement obligation. At September 30, 2020, the balance of the debt settlement obligation liability was $75,881.

When the Company initially recorded the obligation, the difference between the $360,000 fair value and $197,738 of debt and accounts payables assumed by Continuation was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt of $162,262 The fair value of the 444,459 shares issued for payment of $72,000 of the settlement obligation was determined to be $98,000 based on the closing price of the shares on the date issued, and the difference of $26,000 was recorded as interest expense. As part of the transaction, the Company also issued 90,909 shares of common stock to Continuation as a fee. The fair value of the shares issued for fees was determined to be $18,182 and is included in general and administrative expenses.

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company issued 24,381,509 shares of common stock with a fair value of $127,424 to pay off $75,881 of the debt settlement obligation.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We operate from leased offices located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite #603, Edison, New Jersey 08837. We do not hold any material investments in other real or personal property other than office equipment. We anticipate these facilities will be adequate for the immediate future but that if we are successful in introducing our products, we will need to seek larger or additional office quarters. We paid a monthly base rent of $3,807 which commenced on July 1, 2009, with an initial extended lease termination date of January 31, 2016. In November 2015, the lease was extended for three years to January 31, 2019. In August 2018, the lease was extended for five years to January 31, 2024. We paid a monthly base rent of $4,067 from February 2016 thru January 2017, $4,190 from February 2017 through January 2018, $4,316 from February 2018 thru January 2019. We paid a monthly base rent of $4,409 from February 2019 thru January 2020. We will pay a monthly base rent of $4,542 from February 2020 through January 2021, $4,678 from February 2021 thru January 2022, $4,818 from February 2022 thru January 2023 and $4,963 from February 2023 thru January 2024. The landlord holds $8,684 as our security deposit. The lease requires us to pay costs such as maintenance and insurance.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and we utilize our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

 The following is management’s discussion and analysis (|MD&A”) of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Annual Meeting Consent.

Our MD&A is comprised of significant accounting estimates made in the normal course of its operations, overview of our business conditions, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and contractual obligations. We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2019 or 2020.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (or "GAAP"). The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Background

We are a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. Our ongoing strategy is developing and marketing our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, healthcare, legal, government, technology, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to continue to grow our business primarily through our expanding sales channel and internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. Apart from our 49% holding in BlockSafe Technologies, Inc., we have no other subsidiaries.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products, and harm our business and results of operations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic did impact our operating results as sales to customers in the second and third quarters were down 17% and 15%, respectively, from the first quarter of the year. However, we have not observed any impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

As of (and subsequent to) September 30, 2020, we have been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for our team members for the past several weeks, including the temporary closure of our corporate office and having team members work remotely. Most customers and vendors have transitioned to electronic submission of invoices and payments.

Our executive office is located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite 603, Edison, NJ 08837. Our telephone number is (732) 661-9641. We have 9 employees. Our Company’s website is www.strikeforcetech.com (we are not including the information contained in our website as part of, nor should the information be relied upon or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Meeting Consent).

Results of Operations

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $51,000 compared to $171,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $120,000 or 70.2%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to impairments caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in a decrease in our software and service revenues. Revenues are derived from software, key fobs and services.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $2,000 compared to $2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Cost of revenues are fees and key fobs related to our revenues, and as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 4.4% compared to 1.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The increase was due primarily to an increase in professional fees, offset by a decrease in employee stock-based compensation. SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and overhead costs for executive and administrative personnel, insurance, fees for professional services, including consulting, legal, and accounting fees, plus travel costs and non-cash stock compensation expense for the issuance of stock options to employees and other general corporate expenses.

The decrease in revenues was primarily due to impairments caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in a decrease in our software and service revenues. Revenues are derived from software, key fobs and services.

We have historically incurred recurring losses and have financed our operations through loans, principally from affiliated parties such as our directors, and from the proceeds of debt and equity financing. We financed our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily from the issuance of various debentures with proceeds of $1,495,000 which includes the receipt of the SBA-Payroll Protection Program loan funds of $313,000 and the SBA-Economic Injury Disaster Loan funds of $150,000.

Going Concern

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,942,000 and used cash in operating activities of $1,329,000, and at September 30, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $15,607,000. In addition, we are in default on notes payable and convertible notes payable in the aggregate amount of $3,555,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2019 financial statements raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funds and implement our business plan. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities for cash to operate our business. Currently, management is also attempting to increase revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy. We are redirecting our sales focus from direct sales to domestic and international sales channel, where we are primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to increase revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continually increase our customer base and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Reverse Stock Split and Changes in Authorized Shares

In April 2020, our Board of Directors approved a 1:500 reverse stock split that was approved by stockholders controlling 80% of our common stock. The reverse stock split was effectuated on June 25, 2020 and all share and per share amounts on the accompanying financial statements are presented in post-split amounts as if the split occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

In April 2020, an increase of our common stock from 12,000,000,000 to 17,000,000,000 shares was authorized.

In April 2020, a decrease of our common stock from 17,000,000,000 to 14,000,000,000 shares was authorized.

Critical Accounting Policies

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to accounting for financing obligations, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from sales and support of our software products. Revenue primarily consists of sales of software licenses of our ProtectID®, GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products. We recognize revenue from these arrangements ratably over the contractual service period. For service contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized, as services are rendered.

The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.

Cost of revenue includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.

Share-Based Payments

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, and shares of common stock as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within its convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion features should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivatives are determined using Monte Carlo simulation method at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
