Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, consisting of normal recurring items, that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 as well as the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.  The interim consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Interim Financial Statements – The accompanying 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 Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.
F - 54


Concentrations - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The cash balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the financial risk associated with these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2018 the Company did not have any cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.  Atand December 31, 2017, the Company had cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits of $169,751.
$2,029,987 and $169,751, respectively.
Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company's revenue for each period presented, or the Company's accounts receivable balance as of each respective balance sheet date. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total net accounts receivable are as follows:

Inventory - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Product-related inventories are primarily maintained using the average cost method.  When market value is determined to be less than cost, the Company records an allowance for obsolescence.  The company's inventory assets at JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted primarily of hardware appliances valued as follows:

Revenue Recognition - We account for product revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue Recognition, and all related interpretations.  Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met:

·Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
  
·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract 
  
·Determination of the transaction price
  
·
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract 
  
·Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligation

Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements.

The Company may enter into arrangements that can include various combinations of software, services, and hardware. Where elements are delivered over different periods of time, and when allowed under U.S. GAAP, revenue is allocated to the respective elements based on their relative selling prices at the inception of the arrangement, and revenue is recognized as each element is delivered. We use a hierarchy to determine the fair value to be used for allocating revenue to elements: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), (ii) third-party evidence, and (iii) best estimate of selling price ("ESP"). For software elements, we follow the industry specific software guidance which only allows for the use of VSOE in establishing fair value. Generally, VSOE is the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately, or the price established by management for a product that is not yet sold if it is probable that the price will not change before introduction into the marketplace. ESPs are established as best estimates of what the selling prices would be if the deliverables were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. Our process for determining ESPs requires judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.

Any revenue received that does not yet meet the above recognition standards is recorded to unearned revenue and held as a liability until recognition occurs.
F - 65


Earnings (Loss) Per Share – The basic computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share".  The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period.  Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive.

Share-Based Payments and Stock-Based Compensation – Share-based compensation awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards, are recorded at estimated fair value on the applicable award's grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The grant date fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the time in which the awards are expected to vest, or immediately if no vesting is required. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payments whichever is more readily determinable. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of the stock underlying the awards on the grant date as there is no exercise price.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the remaining lease term, if shorter. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded as part of other income or expense in the statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The estimated useful lives of the property and equipment are as follows:
 
Property and Equipment
Estimated Useful Life
Building improvements15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment7 years
Computer equipment5 years


Recently Issued Accounting Standards - From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.  If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Topic 840, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). The guidance in this new standard requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to the current accounting and eliminates the current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. The guidance also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases for lessors. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

NOTE 2 –GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,873,052$11,841,419 and inception to date losses are equal to $56,769,428.$61,737,795.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through investment capital.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company capitalized $1,206,101$1,683,431 and $642,109,$1,104,397, respectively, towards the development of software, intellectual property, and patent expenses.

The Company amortizes these costs over their related useful lives (approximately 7 to 20 years), using a straight-line basis. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including market and income approaches as considered necessary. The Company reviews capitalized assets periodically for impairment any time there is a significant change that could lead to impairment, but not less than annually.  The Company recorded amortization of $253,954$342,107 and $163,196$327,869 related to intangible assets during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The Company recorded amortization of $88,153 and $164,673 related to intangible assets during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 10 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On September 6, 2016, the Company and BlackRidge Technology International, Inc., a Delaware corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") originally dated as of September 6, 2016, and amended on February 22, 2017 to update the number of common shares, warrants, and options granted and outstanding as of the closing date.

On February 22, 2017, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the actions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into BlackRidge Technology International, Inc. ("BlackRidge-DE") with BlackRidge-DE continuing as the surviving corporation ("Reorganization"). Upon completion of the Reorganization, we issued 3,783,791 shares of our newly designated Series A preferred stock and 12,825,683 shares of common stock to the stockholders of BlackRidge-DE in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock of BlackRidge.  Additionally, certain stockholders of BlackRidge returned for cancellation a total of 16,284,330 shares of our common stock.  Upon the completion of the Reorganization, BlackRidge-DE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company had a total of 3,783,791 shares of Series A preferred stock and 21,790,683 shares of common stock outstanding, with the former BlackRidge-DE stockholders owning 3,783,791 shares or 100% of Series A preferred stock and 12,825,683 shares or approximately 58.9% of common stock.  Upon completion of the Reorganization, we also had outstanding warrants entitling the holders to acquire a total of 18,541,579 shares of the Company's common stock at an average exercise price of $0.46 per share.  The Reorganization resulted in a change of control of the Company.  For accounting purposes, BlackRidge-DE was treated as the acquirer and the historical financial statements of BlackRidge-DE became the Company's historical financial statements.  The acquisition is intended to constitute a tax-free reorganization pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NOTE 11 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets, other than cash, used in or connection with the Company's home grain mill and kitchen mixer business to John Hofman and Bruce Crane, former officers and directors of the Company, in consideration for the assumption by such persons of substantially all the liabilities incurred by the Company in connection with such business.  The assets divested consisted of the non-cybersecurity assets of the Company and included accounts receivable, inventory, deposits, property and equipment and intangible assets.  The liabilities divested included the non-cybersecurity liabilities of the Company and included accounts payable and accrued expenses and long and short-term notes payable and accrued interest thereon.  Upon completion of the divestiture, the Company recognized a $484,927 loss on disposal.  Additionally, during the period from February 22, 2017 through March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $8,737.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

BlackRidge Technology International, Inc., formerly known as Grote Molen, Inc., ("we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "BlackRidge") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 15, 2004.  On February 22, 2017, Grote Merger Co., our wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into BlackRidge Technology International, Inc. ("BlackRidge-DE") with BlackRidge-DE continuing as the surviving corporation.

We develop and market next generation cyber defense solutions that stop cyber-attacks and block unauthenticated access. Our network and server security products are based on our patented Transport Access Control technology and are designed to isolate, cloak and protect servers and cloud services and segment networks for regulatory compliance. BlackRidge products are used in enterprise and government computing environments, the industrial Internet of Things ("IoT"), and other cloud service provider and network systems.

Business

The Company develops, markets and supports a family of products that provide a next generation cyber security solution for protecting enterprise networks and cloud services. With our patented technology, network and server resources located in the enterprise, datacenters and cloud systems, are better protected, less expensive to protect, and less vulnerable to compromise from cyber-attacks and insider threats. We believe that our identity-based approach to network and cloud security offers superior performance compared to legacy network security approaches, and reduces the total cost of ownership for organizations by eliminating malicious and unwanted traffic from their networks and systems.

BlackRidge products provide advanced capabilities compared to advanced firewalls in applications such as network segmentation and isolating cloud services.  BlackRidge also cloaks protected network resources from network mapping, reconnaissance and other forms of unauthorized access and attacks which cannot be blocked by advanced firewalls or malware detection systems.

Our proprietary technology, BlackRidge Transport Access Control ("TAC"), authenticates user or device identity and applies security policies across networks and cloud services before application sessions are established. Underlying BlackRidge TAC is our patented First Packet Authentication™ which conveys and authenticates identity in the "first packet" of a TCP network session request. This fundamental invention addresses a security gap in how the Internet operates: the inability to authenticate network traffic sources. Without authentication, unidentified and unauthorized users and devices can scan, probe and access networks and cloud services. This security gap is exploited in all cyber-attacks through the process of network scanning and reconnaissance, and it has been further exposed and magnified by cloud services, mobile connectivity, and the Internet of Things.

The Company's technology is first to market with this approach of enforcing security policy based on cryptographically secured identity on every TCP/IP session.

Our products are protected by multiple U.S. Patents including "First Packet Authentication," "Concealing a Network Connected Device," "Digital Identity Authentication," and "Statistical Object Identification."

Products

BlackRidge and our partners sell network security products and solutions based on our proprietary BlackRidge TAC software. BlackRidge TAC provides high throughput and low latency network security that operates pre-session, in real time, before other security defenses engage. BlackRidge products can be deployed inside a network or a cloud to cloak and protect servers and segment networks, in front of existing security stacks to filter anonymous traffic, or as part of service provider or OEM (as defined below) solution.

The BlackRidge solution is available in the following product configurations, with additional platform support and endpoint under development:

·1U rack-mountable 1GbE or 10GbE network appliance
  
·1GbE fanless desktop appliance
  
·VMware ESXi™ virtual appliance
  
·IBM z Systems™ LPAR and IBM z/VM® software appliances
  
·Amazon Web Services appliances
  
·Windows and Linux software endpoints

BlackRidge products are priced per appliance or gateway and on the total number of user and device identities supported in an implementation. Enterprise and OEM licensing along with subscription pricing are available. BlackRidge appliances can support up to 100,000 identities and 4,000,000 sessions, providing a highly scalable enterprise solution that operates with low latency and high throughput compared to current network security devices.

1

Network and cloud deployments options include deploying in-line as a Layer 2 transparent bridge or logically inline as a Layer 3 gateway for cloud deployments.  BlackRidge software and systems are designed to be highly resilient and can be configured for high availability and failover. Security policies can be verified during deployment with progressive modes of bridge, monitor and audit, and then enforce policy.

Support and Maintenance

BlackRidge offers standard and premium support to our end-customers and channel partners, where our channel partners typically deliver level one support and we provide level two and level three support. The support for our end customers includes ongoing maintenance services for both hardware and software to receive software upgrades, bug fixes, and repairs. End customers typically purchase these services for a one year or longer term at the time of the initial product sale and typically renew for successive one year or longer periods.

Professional Services. 

Professional services are primarily delivered through our channel partners and include experts who plan, design, and deploy effective security solutions tailored to our end-customers' specific requirements. These services include solution design and planning, configuration, and installation. Our education services provide online and classroom-style training and are also primarily delivered through our internal team.

Technology Alliance Partners

BlackRidge participates in an ecosystem of technology alliance partners to extend the breadth and depth of our products and partner solutions. By helping to ease the complications that organizations face when implementing multi-layered security solutions, our technology alliances facilitate integrated solution design, accelerate the time to realize value, and enhance our role as a strategic security partner.

Markets, Customers and Distribution Channels

The BlackRidge network security and adaptive cyber defense solution is broadly applicable to virtually all enterprise, government and industrial control market segments. Whether deployed directly in a customer's environment or embedded as part of partner cloud service or solution, BlackRidge provides a new level of cyber defense not available in the market today.

BlackRidge markets and sells its products through multiple channels, including direct sales, integrator and reseller channel partners, cloud and managed service providers, and through strategic original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") partners to both government and commercial users. The initial sales focus and market entry strategy for BlackRidge was the US Department of Defense, which is a key leverage point for the company's current commercial, government, and international sales efforts. Our customers and partners include IBM, Ciena, Crimson Logic, the US Department of Defense, the US Department of Energy, Marist College, Nihon Cornet Technology, Splunk and healthcare providers.

Within the commercial markets, BlackRidge sells both direct and through our strategic partners to large enterprise accounts, and indirectly through certain channel partners to specific verticals and international market segments. Our initial market entry strategy for the commercial market is to sell directly in order to establish customer references with large enterprises in North America that have high security and compliance requirements.  These include more complex regulated enterprises such as Financial Services, Healthcare, Insurance and Utility companies. Our channel partners are recruited to assist with expanding enterprise sales, commercializing specific vertical markets, and penetrating the international markets. Revenue from commercial sales includes product licensing fees, installation services, and annual support based on a standard price list.

In the government markets, BlackRidge sells its standard commercial products through a wholly owned subsidiary, BlackRidge Technology Government, to government resellers, integrators and contractors who resell to the Department of Defense (DOD) and civilian agencies. BlackRidge has been involved with the DOD for over six years, including our initial product development funding which was provided by the U.S. DOD. The BlackRidge products have been designed for several large DOD programs and they have been extensively tested and validated for use by the Defense Information Systems Agency ("DISA") labs. The timing of the DOD adoption of BlackRidge products depends on approval of budgets and final product testing approvals from DISA. BlackRidge Government revenue is net of government discounts, contracting fees, and channel and service partner discounts.
2


The BlackRidge OEM and service provider partnership strategy is to make targeted investments to capitalize on opportunities in specific market segments such as the industrial IoT, blockchain networks, and cloud solution providers. For these markets and our partners, BlackRidge TAC can be deployed as an integrated or embedded capability in the partners' equipment and vertical market solutions, and sold and supported by our partner. BlackRidge provides unique, integrated identity-based cyber defense for these OEM products or service offerings that provides their end user customer with a competitive market advantage in the face of today's advanced cyber threats. Revenue from OEM offerings flows from embedded product licensing fees and support fees that are somewhat unique to each OEM offering.

Marketing

Our marketing is focused on building our brand reputation and market awareness for our company and our unique technology capabilities and platform, driving customer demand and building a strong sales pipeline, and working with our channel and OEM partners. Our marketing team consists of corporate marketing, product marketing and product management, marketing operations, and corporate communications. Marketing activities include sales training and enablement, demand generation programs, digital marketing programs, product launch activities, managing our corporate and investor website, social media, trade shows and conferences, and press and analyst relations.

Research and Development

We continue to enhance our BlackRidge TAC software, the core software used in the BlackRidge products. This software is responsible for the TAC token generation, token validation, the token cache, packet processing and the insertion of TAC tokens into TCP connection requests. The TAC software has been developed domestically within the U.S. using only U.S. citizens. This software includes implementations of granted and pending patents owned by BlackRidge.

We continue to pursue research and development to improve our existing products. These improvements include making our products easier to manage, easier to deploy in large numbers, and improvements in our integrations with 3rd party products that communicate with BlackRidge products.

Our product development efforts release software with new features from time to time.  When a new feature is significant enough, we produce a major software release.  In between major software releases, there may be one or more minor software releases that also introduce less significant new features.

Intellectual Property

BlackRidge focuses on developing patent protection for products it develops and for products and features that are anticipated. We constantly perfect and file new applications.  We continue to develop our products; we will continue to file additional patent applications where appropriate.

The granted patents focus on the communication of identity tokens at the network layer (6,973,496, 8,346,951), combining Identity authentication at different security layers (8,281,127, 8,635,445), insuring the integrity of token authentication (8,572,697) and using identity to select amongst a set of trusted resources (9,118,644). The pending applications focus on extending the above protections (13/987,747, 14/544,987, 14/998,645), using network identity in a firewall (14/545,988), making network routing policy decisions using identity (14/999,317) and detecting tampering of hardware and software systems (13/199,050).

As of release 3.0, our products use the technology described in patents 6,973,496, 8,346,951 and 8,572,697 as well as technology described in some of our pending applications.  As we continue to add products and features, we will be incorporating technology described in additional patents and applications. All patents and completed applications are assigned to BlackRidge Technology Holdings, Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying potential troubled accounts and by using historical experience and future expectations applied to an aging of accounts. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. We determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was required at JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, net of accumulated amortization. Costs incurred in obtaining certain patents and intellectual property as well as software development expenses, are capitalized and amortized over their related estimated useful lives, using a straight-line basis consistent with the underlying expected future cash flows related to the specific intangible asset. Costs to renew or extend the life of intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset. Amortization expenses are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.  The Company's continued ability to extend and/or renew the rights associated with these intangible assets may have an impact on future cash flows.
4


Useful life estimates for the Company's significant intangible asset classes are as follows:

 Useful Life
Patent Costs20 years
Software Licenses7 years
Software Development Costs15 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, at least annually, to determine if impairment has occurred and whether the economic benefit of the asset (fair value of assets to be used and fair value less disposal cost for assets to be disposed of) is expected to be less than the carrying value.  Triggering events, which signal further analysis, consist of a significant decrease in the asset's market value, a substantial change in the use of an asset, a significant physical change in the asset, a significant change in the legal or business climate that could affect the asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct the asset, or a history of losses that imply continued loss associated with assets used to generate revenue.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met:

·Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
  
·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract 
  
·Determination of the transaction price
  
·Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract 
  
·Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligation

Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements.

The Company may enter into arrangements that can include various combinations of software, services, and hardware. Where elements are delivered over different periods of time, and when allowed under U.S. GAAP, revenue is allocated to the respective elements based on their relative selling prices at the inception of the arrangement, and revenue is recognized as each element is delivered. We use a hierarchy to determine the fair value to be used for allocating revenue to elements: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), (ii) third-party evidence, and (iii) best estimate of selling price ("ESP"). For software elements, we follow the industry specific software guidance which only allows for the use of VSOE in establishing fair value. Generally, VSOE is the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately or the price established by management for a product that is not yet sold if it is probable that the price will not change before introduction into the marketplace. ESPs are established as best estimates of what the selling prices would be if the deliverables were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. Our process for determining ESPs requires judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.

Any revenue received that does not yet meet the above recognition standards is recorded to unearned revenue, and held as a liability until recognition occurs.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
5


FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires us to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, we must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in our consolidated financial statements. We performed a review of our material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by ASC Topic 740 and concluded we had no unrecognized tax benefit that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017.

We include interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes, if any, in our consolidated statements of operations in general and administrative expenses. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and convertible debt.  The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017

Sales

Total sales during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 were $66,826,$74,102, as compared to sales during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 of $8,961,$4,304, an increase of $57,865$69,798 or approximately 646%1,622%.  This increase was primarily due to two contracts added during the current period.  Management believes historical sales not to be indicative of future expectations due to our historically limited business operations.  We believe that future sales will be significantly increased as we market our new suite of products.

Operating Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,878,915 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $4,985,557 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a single contractdecrease of $1,106,642, or approximately 22%.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period is primarily attributable to an approximate $846,000 decrease in wage expense, an approximate $908,000 decrease in professional fees, partially offset by an approximate $182,000 increase in non-cash expenses related to stock issuances for consulting contracts, an approximate $317,000 increase in depreciation and amortization and an increase of approximately $500,000 in employee stock share based compensation and an approximate $511,000 increase in non-cash expenses from loss on extinguishment of debt.

Interest Income (Expense)

Other expense includes interest expense on our indebtedness, a portion of which is indebtedness to related parties.  Total net interest expense was $643,925 and $176,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The increase in interest expense of $467,984 in the current year is attributable primarily to an increase in debt financing during the current quarter.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Sales

Total sales during the nine  months ended September 30, 2018 were $144,116, as compared to sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $42,006, an increase of $102,110, or approximately 243%.  This increase was primarily due to two contracts added during the current period.  Management believes historical sales not to be indicative of future expectations due to our historically limited business operations.  We believe that future sales will be significantly increased as we market our new suite of products.

Operating Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,367,367$10,344,719 for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, compared to $3,567,799$10,150,104 for the threenine months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $200,432, or approximately 6%.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period is primarily attributable to an approximate $290,000 increase in non-cash expenses related to stock issuances for consulting contracts, an approximate $120,000 increase in depreciation and amortization and an increase of approximately $110,000 in employee stock share based compensation, partially offset by an approximate $670,000 decrease in professional fees and an approximate $325,000 decrease in salaries and wages.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Sales

Total sales during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $70,014, as compared to sales during the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $37,702, an increase of $32,312, or approximately 86%.  This increase was primarily due to a single contract during the current period.  Management believes historical sales not to be indicative of future expectations due to our historically limited business operations.  We believe that future sales will be significantly increased as we market our new suite of products.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,465,804 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $5,164,547 for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, an increase of $1,301,257,$194,615, or approximately 25%2%.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period is primarily attributable to an approximate $415,000$182,000 increase in non-cash expenses related to stock issuances for consulting contracts, an approximate $570,000 in salaries and wages related to our increase in hiring since the previous year's quarter, an increase of approximately $210,000$709,000 in employee stock share based compensation and an approximate $195,000$510,000 increase in depreciation and amortization, and an increase of approximately $58,000 in warrants issued for contracts, partially offset by an approximate $500,000$1,408,000 decrease in professional fees.fees, and an approximate $279,000 decrease in wages and salaries.

Interest Income (Expense)

Other expense includes interest expense on our indebtedness, a portion of which is indebtedness to related parties.  Total net interest expense was $381,409$1,025,333 and $407,099$583,130 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The decreaseincrease in interest expense of $25,690$442,203 in the current year is attributable primarily to the conversion of approximately $3.2 million of convertible debt into equity during the prior year, partially offset by addedan increase in debt financing during the current year.

Loss on disposal of discontinued operations

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets, other than cash, used in or connection with the Company's home grain mill and kitchen mixer business to John Hofman and Bruce Crane, former officers and directors of the Company, in consideration for the assumption by such persons of substantially all the liabilities incurred by the Company in connection with such business.  The assets divested consisted of the non-cybersecurity assets of the Company and included accounts receivable, inventory, deposits, property and equipment and intangible assets.  The liabilities divested included the non-cybersecurity liabilities of the Company and included accounts payable and accrued expenses and long and short-term notes payable and accrued interest thereon.  Upon completion of the divestiture, the Company recognized a $484,927 non-cash loss on disposal.

Loss from discontinued operations

During the period from February 22, 2017 through March 31, 2017, the Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $8,737.  This loss was primarily driven by lower than anticipated product sales of the entity that was eventually sold.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In addition, as JuneSeptember 30, 2018, we had total stockholders' equity of $1,344,665.$5,159,231.  As we have worked toward our acquisition and new product launches, we have primarily financed recent operations, the development of technologies, and the payment of expenses through the issuance of our debt, common stock, preferred stock and warrants.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $5,183,773,$7,712,392, as a result of our net loss from continued operations of $6,873,052$11,841,419 and increases in inventory of $15,595, prepaid expenses of $64,210, and decreases in deferred revenue of $5,690,$3,822, accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party of $17,214,$11,411, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $1,104,458,$2,683,899, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $140,407, accrued interest of $162,207,$380,104, accrued interest - related party of $81,964,$115,722, wages payable of $293,520,$736,108, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $9,432.$48,859 and prepaid expenses of $237,493.

By comparison, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $3,050,233,$5,268,597, as a result of our net loss from continued operations of $5,534,202$11,185,150 and increases in inventory of $14,731,$26,068, prepaid expenses of $96,675,$195,534, and decreases in deferred revenue of $4893,$9,197, accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party of $231,181,$325,058, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $222,143,$643,499, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $72,260,$251,492, accrued interest of $1,210,$1,035, accrued interest - related party of $334,491,$509,792, wages payable of $2,256,317,$4,527,900, loss from discontinued operation of $493,664 and cash flows from discontinued operations of $45,028.

Cash used in investing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 was $1,182,763$1,683,431 compared to $406,445$925,373 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017.  The increase in the current period is due primarily to an increase in capitalized engineering costs related to the Company's technology development.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $5,970,000,$11,333,999, comprised of proceeds from the sale short term notes – related party of $500,000,$732,000, short term notes of $5,600,000$10,832,000 and advances – related party of $75,000, partially offset by repayments of short term notes of $5,000 and repayments of long-term notes of $200,000.

$300,001.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $4,617,886,$8,365,385, comprised of proceeds from the sale of common stock of $4,532,452,$8,392,451, preferred stock of $275,000 and subscriptions payablewarrants exercised of $20,000,$10,000, proceeds from short term notes of $100,000 and advances – related party of $115,000, partially offset by the repayment of short-term notes of $36,489,$38,989, repayments of short-term convertible notes of $100,000, repayments of long-term notes of $233,342$333,342 and cash outflows from discontinued operations of $54,735.

Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our operating activities will use approximately $500,000 in cash per month over the next twelve months, or $6 million. Currently we do not have enough cash on hand to fully implement our business plan, and will require additional funds within the next year. We believe that our operations will not begin to generate significant cash flows until the fourth quarter of 2018 when we expect to begin new product contracts.  

In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we are actively seeking to raise additional funds through the sale of equity and debt securities, and ultimately plan to generate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize substantial revenues from sales.  If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we may not be able to fully implement our business plan, and it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls over Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the Exchange Act") as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

None
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On December 2, 2016, AltEnergy Cyber, LLC ("Plaintiff") instituted a legal action in Connecticut against the Company and Robert Zahm.  The complaint alleged that (i) the company improperly extended the maturity date of the Plaintiff's convertible note in the amount of $1,500,000 and (ii) improperly converted the loan into the Company's stock. The Complaint alleges that the Company is liable to the Plaintiff for the $4,500,000 plus interest.  This litigation is still ongoing.  During the year ended December 31, 2017, Robert Zahm was dismissed from the proceedings for lack of personal jurisdiction.  On March 29, 2018, the AltEnergy Cyber, LLC's legal action was dismissed through a motion for summary judgement.  As of the date of this filing, the appeal period has expired and it is the Company's belief that this matter is fully resolved through the dismissal.

We believe that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the Act") and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of purchasers, each of whom the Registrant believes was an "accredited investor" (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and was sophisticated about business and financial matters, and all shares issued were subject to restriction on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchaser was not an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the Act.

We believe the foregoing transaction was exempt from the registration requirements under Section 3(a)(9) of the Act. No commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for such exchange other than the surrender and cancellation of the Company's preferred stock.
