EXPLANATORY NOTE
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” refers to Hawk Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Hawk Biometric Technologies, Inc. and Parking Pro, Inc. Pursuant to Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), we have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to “smaller reporting companies” throughout this Form 10-Q. Except as specifically included in this Form 10-Q, items not required by the scaled disclosure requirements have been omitted.
CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
All statements contained in this Form 10-Q, other than statements that relate to present or historical conditions, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements containing the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” and words of similar import and are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our assessment of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications o f the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved, or whether such performance or results will be achieved at all. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to continue as a going concern; (ii) our ability to raise additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all; (iii) industry competition, conditions, performance and consolidation; (iv) the effects of adverse general economic conditions, both within the United States and globally and the availability of debt and equity financing in view of the current economy; (v) any adverse economic or operational repercussions from terrorist activities, war or other armed conflicts; (vi) new product development and introduction in light of our lack of adequate financing; (vii) changes in business strategy or development plans; (viii) the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and (ix) the ability to protect our technology, among others.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by management will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our business operations.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If the Company updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Business and Basis of Presentation
From September 2004 to February 2009, Hawk Systems, Inc. (formerly known as Explorations Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was in the business of operating parking lots and garages in New York City and the surrounding areas through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parking Pro, Inc. (“Parking Pro”). During 2008, the Company decided to pursue a new business direction. On February 19, 2009, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between the Company, Hawk Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned Florida subsidiary of the Company (“Hawk Acquisition”) and Hawk Biometric Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Hawk Biometric”), Hawk Acquisition merged with and into Hawk Biome tric (the “Merger”). The Merger resulted in a change of control, with Hawk Biometric the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This report on Form 10-Q is presented accordingly.
On May 27, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware changing its name to Hawk Systems, Inc. On July 15, 2009, the trading symbol for the Company’s Common Stock, which is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, was changed from EXGI to HWSY. On March 18, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware which set the effective date of a one-for six reverse split of its common stock (“Reverse Split”) as April 7, 2010. The Reverse Split was subsequently effected on April 7, 2010. The Common Stock share amounts used in these financial statements have been changed to reflect the Reverse Split.
Hawk Biometric is a developer of innovative fingerprint authentication technology that offers high degrees of security, convenience, and ease of use in applications such as automobile locks and identity theft protection. Management believes the technology can also be used in banking, healthcare, hotel/casino operations, employee time clock and attendance, stadium security, and sporting and gaming applications where identity management is required.
Basis of Presentation
Reverse Merger. The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger in the form of a recapitalization with Hawk Biometric as the successor. The recapitalization has been given retroactive effect in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent those of Hawk Biometric for all periods prior to the consummation of the Merger and of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hawk Biometric and Parking Pro, subsequent to the Merger.
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and unaudited consolidated cash flows for the periods presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. In the opinion of the management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annua l Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Until recently, the Company had not realized any revenue from its biometric technology business. The Company has been primarily engaged in developing its fingerprint authentication technology and identification, and pursuing acquisitions of related assets or companies. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to sell any products or generate revenues. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

(Unaudited)
Going Concern. We have incurred losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit of $(22,108,358) at September 30, 2010, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have funded our operations since inception through the issuance of debt and equity securities and loans from related parties. Should we require additional funds and be unable to acquire such funds, our ability to continue as a going concern will be severely affected. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
These factors create uncertainty as to whether we can continue as a going concern. Our plans to mitigate the effects of the uncertainties on our continued existence are: 1) to raise additional equity capital; 2) to restructure our existing debt; and 3) to pursue our business plan and seek to generate positive operating cash flow. Management believes that these plans may be effectively implemented in the next twelve-month period. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the implementation and success of these plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments in the event we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Codification of Accounting Standards
The issuance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) on July 1, 2009 (effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009), changes the way that U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are referenced. Beginning on that date, the Codification officially became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP; however, SEC registrants must also consider rules, regulations, and interpretive guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. The switch affects the way companies refer to GAAP in financial statements and in their accounting policies. All existing standards that were used to create the Codification became superseded. Instead, references to standards will consist solely of the number used in the Codification’s structural organization. Consistent with the effective date of the Codification, financial statements for periods ending after September 15, 2009, refers to the Codification structure, not pre-Codification historical GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated balance sheet is a classified presentation, which distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities. The Company believes that a classified balance sheet provides a more meaningful presentation consistent with the business cycles of the Company's operations. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Research and Development
Pursuant to ASC 730 (formerly SFAS No. 2), research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $212,673 as compared to $40,408 for the respective period ending September 30, 2009 and $338,106 for the period October 25, 2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2010.
Earnings Per Common Share
We adopted ASC 260 (formerly FASB No. 128, “Earnings per Share”). The statement established standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (“EPS”). It replaced the presentation of primary EPS with a basic EPS and also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. Basic income/(loss) per share was computed by dividing our net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used to calculate basic and diluted income/(loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was 79,684,956 and 5,216,533 respectively. The Company’s Common Stock equivalents, such as outstanding options and warrants, have not been incl uded as they are anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted the required provisions of Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. Those provisions relate to our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. Topic 820 defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements - Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar in struments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. Observable market data should be used when available.
The Company’s financial instruments are carried at fair value. The adoption of Topic 820 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any long-term debt since all of our outstanding debt is due in less than one year.
Development Stage Activities and Operations
The Company is in its initial stages of formation and recognized its first revenues since formation on October 25, 2007, in the amount of $5,575, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company reported revenue of $5,575 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and no revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2009. The Company recognizes revenue when it is earned, there is a fixed and determinable price for its product and collectability is reasonably assured when title passes.
Long-Lived Assets
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (formerly SFAS 144) is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets in question may not be recoverable. An impairment would be recorded in circumstances where undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset are less then the carrying value of that asset.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”) (“ASC 740-10”). ASC 740-10 requires and asset and liability approach for financial reporting for incomes taxes. Under ASC 740-10, deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the carrying values of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes at the enacted rates at which these differences are expected to reverse.
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Because the Company has an uncertainty regarding it as a going concern, a 100% valuation allowance has been set up for any deferred tax item.

Loss per Common Share
We apply ASC 260, which requires two presentations of earnings (loss) per share-"basic" and "diluted." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock had been issued. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the potential shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible debenture, and Series B Preferre d Stock have not been included in the determination of loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Reclassification
Certain items for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been reclassified to conform with the nine months ended September 30, 2010 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not have a material effect on our financial position or results from operations. We do not expect recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Note 2 – Merger
On February 19, 2009, we completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, Hawk Acquisition, and Hawk Biometric. The former stockholders of Hawk Biometric were issued 599,288 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Hawk Biometric Class A and Class B common stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into one hundred (100) shares of our Common Stock at any time, at the option of the holder. Furthermore, each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Merger was automatically convertible into shares of Common Stock on the day following the completion of the Reverse Split of our Common Stock.
On March 18, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware, which set the effective date of the Reverse Split as April 7, 2010. The Reverse Split was subsequently effected on April 7, 2010. Accordingly, on April 8, 2010, the 587,347 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Merger and outstanding on that date automatically converted into 58,734,700 shares of Common Stock. See Note 7 – Stockholder’s Deficit.
For accounting purposes, these actions resulted in a reverse merger, and Hawk Biometric is the accounting survivor and surviving business entity; however, the Company is the surviving legal entity.
We assumed an estimated $32,500 in liabilities pursuant to the Merger. As we did not acquire any assets, we reduced paid in capital by $32,500, which represents the net liabilities acquired. These liabilities are comprised of a $25,000 bond payable and estimated accrued interest thereon. See Note 5 - Debt, Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies and Note 9 - Subsequent Events.
Note 3 – Related Party Transactions
On January 6, 2009, Mr. Edward Sebastiano, a member of the Company’s board of directors, issued a promissory note in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $168,000 for loans provided to him by Hawk Biometrics of Canada, Inc., the company from which we acquired our existing patent. The note accrued interest at the rate of 11% per annum. Monthly payments of interest only in the amount of $1,540 were due on the 15th day of each month beginning January 15, 2009. The principal amount of the note and all accrued but unpaid interest was due on December 31, 2009, which was extended to December 31, 2010. The note was secured by an interest in the 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by Mr. Sebastiano. On the advice of counsel that securities regulati ons prohibited an outstanding loan from the Company to a member of the board of directors, on June 2, 2010, the board voted to foreclose on the collateral securing the note due to Mr. Sebastiano’s inability to repay the note. As a result, on June 22, 2010, Mr. Sebastiano tendered 1,537,717 shares of Common Stock held by him to the Company for cancellation in exchange for the cancellation of the obligation under the note in the aggregate amount of $193,752, including accrued interest. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $0 and $18,480, respectively, is reflected in interest receivable as due from Mr. Sebastiano.

* Beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2010 the Debenture has been reclassified as a current liability and is reflected in notes payable since the maturity date is now less than one year.
On April 30, 2009, we issued a two-year $100,000 convertible debenture (“Debenture”) to an accredited investor. The Debenture bears interest, which is payable quarterly, at the rate of 10% per annum. The Debenture is convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.082 per share, which was a 50% discount to the “Market Price” of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the holder’s investment in the Debentures. “Market Price” was defined as the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date of the holder’s investment. As a result of the Reverse Split, the conversion price is now $0.49 per share. Upon matur ity on April 30, 2011, any unconverted outstanding principal and interest is due and payable in cash. In connection with the Debenture, we issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our Common Stock at $0.25 per share (on a pre-Reverse Split basis) (“Debentures Warrants.”). The Debenture Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on April 30, 2012. Net cash proceeds after expenses totaled approximately $87,000 and were used for working capital. We paid investment banking fees and expenses of $13,000 and issued warrants to purchase 138,899 and 5,000 shares (on a pre-Reverse Split basis) of our Common Stock at exercise prices of $0.072 and $.25 per share (on a pre-Reverse Split basis), respectively, to the investment banking firm that facilitated the debenture transaction.

We recorded the Debenture at a 100% discount after giving effect to the estimated fair market value beneficial conversion feature of the Debenture and the Debenture Warrants, which was equal to $100,000 and credited to equity. The Debenture Warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 310.15%, and risk free interest rate of 4.1%. The carrying value of the Debenture is being accreted to the face amount by charges to interest expense over the two year term until maturity on April 30, 2011.
We incurred financing costs totaling $35,037 pursuant to the Debenture, including investment banking and professional fees. These deferred financing costs are being amortized over the two year term of the Debenture. After giving effect to the value of the related warrants and the financing costs, the effective rate of interest on the Debenture is 145%.
In connection with the Merger, we assumed the obligation to repay a Class A, Series A Convertible Bond (“Bond”) held by the Tucker Family Spendthrift Trust (the “Trust”). The Bond was in the principal amount of $25,000, with interest payable upon maturity at the annualized rate of 2% over the prime rate charged by Citibank, N.A. (New York City). The terms of the Bond included a conversion option that provided for conversion into a number of shares equal to 10% of the Company’s outstanding and reserved capital stock, as defined in the Bond document. On April 29, 2009, the Trust provided notice of election to convert $24,000 in principal and accrued interest of the Bond. On January 25, 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with the Trust in order to settle the ongoing litigation between us and the Trust. In accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to issue the Trust 3,960,030 shares of our Common Stock and 64,165 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Securities”). We subsequently issued the Securities to the Trust and, therefore, we have no further obligation under the Bond. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we and the Trust agreed to release and forever discharge each other, our present officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and demands which have been or may have been based upon any facts or circumstances that arose or existed on or prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement. We executed the release on February 23, 2010 and the Trust executed the release on March 3, 2010. The Trust filed a stipulation and order of dismissal with prejudice with the 15th Judicial Circuit Court of Palm Beach and the judge entered an order of dismissal with prejudice on February 26, 2010. On April 12, 2010, the Company received a notice of conversion from the Trust indicating its intent to convert the 64,165 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to it under the Settlement Agreement into 6,416,500 shares of Common Stock. The Company subsequently issued the shares of Common Stock to the Trust on April 20, 2010.
On September 16, 2009, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes in the following amounts: (i) $100,000 payable to Delilah Holdings, LLC, and (ii) $50,000 payable to Mr. Mark Spanakos, a member of the Company’s board of directors.

The option is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and was fully vested and non-cancellable at the time of the grant. We used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value with the following weighted average assumptions : Volatility, 40.813%, expected life, 4.73 years; risk free rate, 3.25%; dividend yield, 0%. Accordingly, we have recorded a fair value expense of $1,440,000 for the option shares.

Effective February 23, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) with Griffin Enterprises LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Griffin”). Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Griffin provided certain consulting and liaison services to the Company in connection with the establishment and implementation of a corporate development growth plan intended to enable the Company to develop and expand its business both in the private sector as well as the government sector. The Consulting Agreement had a term of three months ending on May 31, 2010 and provided for monthly compensation payable to Griffin in the amount of $20,000 which first monthly payment was due and payable on or before February 26, 2010. The remaining payments we re due and payable on the first day of each month beginning on April 1, 2010.
On April 9, 2010, the Company and Mr. Coriaty, a member of the Company’s board of directors, entered into an amendment to the Coriaty Agreement (the “Coriaty Amendment”) which provides that the Company will pay Mr. Coriaty a base salary at the annual rate of $500,000 per year or such other annual rate of compensation as the board of directors of the Company may from time to time determine. The Coriaty Amendment further provides that at any time and from time to time, Mr. Coriaty will be entitled to convert any accrued but unpaid salary into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to (i) the average closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock on the 20 trading days immediately prior to such conversion date, or (ii) at such price as the board of directors of the Company shall determine and approved by Mr. Coriaty. Finally, in the Coriaty Amendment, the Company and Mr. Coriaty acknowledged that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, Mr. Coriaty’s total base salary was $500,000. See Note 9 - Subsequent Events.
Effective May 21, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with A.S. to provide public relations services for a term of one year. As compensation for such services, we issued A.S. 750,000 shares of restricted Common Stock as a “commencement bonus.” In addition, we are required to issue A.S. a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per share for a term of three years, which warrant vests ratably over the term of the agreement on the first day of each calendar month. As of June 30, 2010, 41,666 shares issuable pursuant to that warrant had vested. The Company has not yet formally executed a warrant agreement in connection with the grant.

On or about July 13, 2010, Mr. Spanakos, a member of the board of directors of the Company, filed suit against the Company, its subsidiary Hawk Biometric, and certain other members of the board of directors. Mr. Spanakos seeks an unspecified amount of damages and other equitable relief. On August 18, 2010, counsel for Mr. Coriaty and Hawk Biometric filed a motion to dismiss. We believe the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
Effective July 26, 2010, Mr. Diamant resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.
In August 2010, we formally engaged Deweerd Engineering to develop the version 2 modules of our PASS system.
On August 12, 2010, the board of directors appointed Douglas Scott, a member of the Board of Directors, to serve as interim Chief Executive Officer.
Note 9 – Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in accordance with FASB ASC No. 855, the Company has reviewed events that have occurred after September 30, 2010, through the date of issuance of the financial statements on November 11, 2010. Subsequent to the end of the period we received a total of eight purchase orders for our product totaling an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,400,000. We anticipate shipping product to fill these orders on approximately February 1, 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
OVERVIEW
Our predecessor, Explorations Group, Inc., operated parking garages in New York City through its operating subsidiary Parking Pro, Inc. (“Parking Pro”). On February 19, 2009, we acquired Hawk Biometric Technologies, Inc. (“Hawk Biometric”) through a merger transaction between our subsidiary Hawk Acquisition Corp. (“Hawk Acquisition”) and Hawk Biometric whereby Hawk Acquisition merged with and into Hawk Biometric (the “Merger”). The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger in the form of a recapitalization with Hawk Biometric as the successor. The recapitalization has been given retroactive effect in the accompanying financial statements, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements represent those of Hawk Biometric for all periods prior to the consummation of the Merger and of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hawk Biometric and Parking Pro, subsequent to the Merger.
Hawk Biometric is a developer of innovative fingerprint authentication technology that offers high degrees of security, convenience, and ease of use in applications such as automobile locks and identity theft protection. We believe the technology can also be used in banking, healthcare, hotel/casino operations, employee time clock and attendance, stadium security, sporting and gaming applications where identity management is required.
We are currently in the process of developing version 2 of our PASS system, which we anticipate will come in three different models based on degree of functionality. We expect that the basic model will have only ignition starting capabilities. We anticipate that the mid-level model will unlock and lock vehicle doors, open the vehicle’s trunk and start the ignition using a person’s fingerprint. Finally, we believe that the “top-of-the-line” model will have the same capabilities as the mid-level model, as well as additional features such as geofencing capabilities (i.e. creating a virtual fence around a vehicle where if the vehicle goes outside of that “fence,” the user will be alerted), airbag deployment alert, and unauthorized movement alert, among others. Th ese new modules have not yet been developed so there can be no assurances that they will be developed in a timely manner or at all, or with the features described above.
On October 14, 2010 we appointed FIST Enterprises, LLC (Fingerprint Identification Systems Technology) as our exclusive distributor for AUTO PASS.
Subsequent to the end of the period we received a total of eight purchase orders for our product totaling an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,400,000. We anticipate shipping product to fill these orders on approximately February 1, 2011.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare the consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experiences and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.
We do not participate in, nor have we created, any off-balance sheet special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing.
We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.
Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Parking Pro and Hawk Biometric. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition - The Company reported revenue of $5,575 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and no revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2009. The Company recognizes revenue when it is earned, there is a fixed and determinable price for its product and collectability is reasonably assured when title passes.
14
Earnings Per Common Share - We apply ASC 260, which requires two presentations of earnings (loss) per share-"basic" and "diluted." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock had been issued. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the potential shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise or conversion of ou tstanding stock options, warrants, convertible debenture, and Series B Preferred Stock have not been included in the determination of loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Reclassification - Certain items for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been reclassified to conform with the nine months ended September 30, 2010 presentation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
Revenues
We generated revenues of $5,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $0 for the comparable period in 2009. These revenues were as a result of our delivery of 28 units in June 2010 on a purchase order for 50 units at a purchase price of $9,975, which we received from a customer in May 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we also continued discussions with a regional bank to conduct a pilot program using our ATM technology as well as met with another larger regional bank to hold a focus group session on the possibility of using our ATM technology in its local branches, but such discussions have not resulted in any formal agreement or arrangement. Due to our limited resources, we anticipate focusing on generating sales of our automotive product for the remainder of 2010, since o ur ATM technology still requires significant development.
Officer’s Salary
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, officer’s salary expense totaled $638,258, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the salary and stock compensation in the form of options to our former chief executive officer, Mr. Michael Diamant, in connection with his employment agreement.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses are comprised of expenses related to the compliance requirements of a publicly traded company, expenses incurred in the process of identifying and qualifying suitable acquisition targets, and other general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our general and administrative expenses totaled $2,653,813, as compared to $2,843,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was the primarily the result of less consulting fees accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are comprised of the development of both the design and actual components of our fingerprint authentication technology as well as activities that enable us to keep abreast of the dynamic and evolving industry for these products. Research and development expenses totaled $212,673 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $40,408 the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to expenses related to our version 2 and 3 modules during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
15
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $105,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $43,771 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We began incurring interest expense upon the issuance of our convertible debenture on April 30, 2009, including interest at the rate of 10% per annum as well as the amortization of the financing costs and the discount related to its beneficial conversion feature and related warrant. In addition, we issued two unsecured promissory notes on September 16, 2009 in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000, which accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Effective January 31, 2010 and February 1, 2010, we issued two promissory notes to Mr. David Coriaty, a member of our board of directors, in the principal amounts of $100,000 and $40,000, respec tively. The notes accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which is payable at maturity on June 30, 2010. In addition, effective April 28, 2010, and May 20, 2010, we issued two additional promissory notes to Mr. Coriaty in the principal amounts of $67,600 and $25,000, respectively. These notes accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which is payable at maturity on September 30, 2010. Effective July 8, 2010, the board of directors approved the conversion of each of the notes described herein held by Mr. Coriarty, along with accrued interest through May 31, 2010 into shares of restricted Common Stock. Finally, on April 1, 2010, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 to an individual, Mr. Bryant McFadden, which note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable at maturity on April 1, 2011. As a result of incurring these debt obligations, our interest expense has continued to increase as compared to p rior periods.
Net Loss
Our net profit or loss is computed as our total revenues less expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net loss increased to $3,759,536 compared to $2,927,759 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily attributed to expenses related to administrative fees and salaries and the loss on the settlement with the Tucker Family Spendthrift Trust (the “Trust”) regarding the bond in the principal amount of $25,000. The net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to expenses related to the Merger.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to obtain additional financing when and as needed and to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. We currently do not have adequate capital to continue our business activities and are seeking new sources of capital. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These circumstances could complicate our ability to raise additional capital. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts of our assets and liabilities that might result from t he outcome of this uncertainty.
We have funded our operations primarily through loans from our officers, directors, related parties and certain other third parties. We issued a $100,000 convertible debenture in April 2009 and two promissory notes in September 2009 in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000. More recently, in September 2010 we issued a $236,000 promissory note. We have also previously issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $232,600 to Mr. David Coriaty, a member of our board of directors, for various loans he has provided to us during 2009 and 2010 as well as a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 to a third party. We used the proceeds from such loans to pay salaries, accounting, legal, consulting, and investment banking fees. We anticipate seeking to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility in order to finance our anticipated growth. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities will likely result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in an increase in our fixed obligations and could result in borrowing covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, and, we will likely not be able to continue any business activities. Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
16
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure con trols and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the SEC due to the limited resources of the Company, as of September 30, 2010 and the lack of centralized and continuity of management. We believe that the appropriate steps will be taken by the Company to reduce this risk on a going-forward basis. We have hired an interim chief executive officer effective August 12, 2010 and we are seeking to hire a permanent chief executive officer and additional personnel to assist with the preparation of financial statements, subj ect to the availability of adequate funds, and make additional changes in our financial reporting systems and procedures wherever necessary and appropriate to ensure their effectiveness. We will make appropriate disclosures regarding any observations and changes as required in future periods.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
17
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On or about July 13, 2010, Mark Spanakos, a member of the board of directors of the Company, filed suit against the Company, its subsidiary Hawk Biometric, and the following other members of the board of directors, Messrs. David Coriaty, Edward Sebastiano, Antonio DeRisi, as well as the Company’s former chief executive officer, Michael Diamant (collectively, the “Defendants”), in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, Case No. 502010CA017971XXXMB. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty of loyalty, corporate waste, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, and violation of Florida RICO. The complaint is unclear as to the factual basis alleged to underlie the proceeding except for general alle gations that the Defendants have engaged in improper conduct, including but not limited to allegations relating to false representations, solicitation of investor funds based on misrepresentation, waste of funds unrelated to business, waste of corporate assets, diverting corporate opportunities and other general allegations. Mr. Spanakos seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory, actual, general damages and prejudgment interest, treble damages, and injunctive and equitable relief including a permanent and continuing injunction against future violations, a requirement that Messrs. Coriaty, Sebastiano, DeRisi and Diamant divest themselves of any interest in the Company and Hawk Biometric, and imposition of reasonable restrictions upon defendants from their future involvement in investments and related businesses. On August 18, 2010, counsel for Hawk Biometric filed a motion to dismiss arguing that the complaint was fatally defective on a number of counts, lack of standing, lack of speci ficity, and failure to state a cause of action, among others. As of today’s date all named defendants have responded to the complaint and are awaiting the court’s decision on the motion to dismiss. We believe that Mr. Spanakos’ allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Effective July 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the conversion of a total of $886,075 owed to Mr. Coriaty through May 31, 2010 in outstanding loans and accrued interest, as well as accrued salary, into an aggregate of 8,843,427 shares of restricted common stock. The conversion price of $.1008 per share was based on the average of the previous five trading day’s closing price (through June 1, 2010) of $0.126, with a 20% discount for restricted securities.
The securities described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that the sale did not involve any public offering.
