EXPLANATORY NOTE

In the process of preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company concluded that certain information in connection with the Company, including the amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000, to 1,200,000,000, effective as of May 24, 2021, and the absence of authorized securities titled “Class A common stock” was not adequately disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”). Accordingly, the disclosures contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q address such previously omitted information. Additionally, the Company’s board of directors and management assessed the necessity of amending of its 2021 Annual Report and discussed the same with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and concluded that an amendment was not necessary.

These statements are no guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Our future operating results are dependent upon many factors which are outside our control. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

SMARTMETRIC INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

SmartMetric, Inc. (the “Company” or “SmartMetric”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric’s main product is a fingerprint sensor-activated card with a finger sensor onboard the card and a built-in rechargeable battery for portable biometric identification. This card may be referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric Datacard. SmartMetric has completed development of its card along with pre-mass manufacturing cards but has not yet begun to mass manufacture the biometric fingerprint activated cards.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2022. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2021. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements the Company has sustained recurring losses of $1,100,661 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of $29,961,449 at September 30, 2021.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of this filing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The COVID-19 has had an impact on SmartMetric’s final card production. While the delays are due to supply line disruption, the Company is confident that these delays will be short-lived based on advice from our manufacturing partners, manufacturing alternatives and alternative supply lines that are being put into place by the Company.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include product marketing and distribution. The management plans include equity sales and borrowing in order to fund the operations. The Company plans to continue its relationship with Geneva Roth Remark in order to raise capital through cash received for issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

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

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and has since spread worldwide, including to the Unites States, posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). The COVID-19 Pandemic poses a threat to the health and economic wellbeing of our employees, customers and vendors. Like most businesses world-wide, the COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted the Company financially delaying the beginning of production.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

5

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 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. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Research and Development

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, 102,551,018 and 82,882,681 dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share, with all dilutive shares being Common stock warrants at September 30, 2021 and 2020, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the employees required service period, which is generally the vesting period.

6

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of September 30, 2021 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third-party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2021.

NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses represent the unexpired terms of various consulting agreements as well as advance rental payments. Prepaid expenses at September 30, 2021 were $8,750.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Agreement

The Company’s main office is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rent expense under all leases for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1,325 and $766 respectively. The Company maintains only one office. This office is in Las Vegas, NV and is a month-to-month lease.

Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company has accrued the amounts of $737,642 and $744,115, 737,642 respectively, as deferred Officer’s salary for the difference between the president’s annual salary and the amounts paid. 

As a result of shareholder loans and deferred officer salary, the Company has accrued a balance of $214,756 and $162,642 as interest payable as of September 30, 2021 and 2020.

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

Our CEO maintains an employment agreement that stipulates a $190,000 annual salary. This agreement is in effect until mutual agreement between its CEO and the Company to terminate.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Litigation

From time to time we may be a defendant or plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there are no material pending legal or governmental proceedings relating to us or properties to which we are a party, and, to our knowledge, there are no material proceedings to which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates are a party adverse to us or which have a material interest adverse to us.

NOTE 5 - DEBT

On April 17, 2020, we received funds under the Paycheck Protection Program, a part of the CARES Act. The loan is serviced by Chase Bank, and the application for these funds required us to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan necessary to support our ongoing operations. We used the funds for payroll and related costs. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, was dependent on our ability to adhere to the forgiveness criteria. The loan bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum and had a maturity date of April 6, 2022, with the first payment being deferred until April 17, 2021. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts may be forgiven if they are used in accordance with the CARES Act. The Company applied for forgiveness of this loan as of October 2021 and forgiveness was granted by the Small Business Administration. Therefore, the loan is considered paid in full.

On March 5, 2020, the Company issued a $35,000 10% convertible note to an investor in relation to an equity financing agreement (see Note 6). The note was due on December 5, 2020 and is convertible at a rate of $0.0175 per share which resulted in a discount from the beneficial conversion feature totalling $5,000. During the year ended June 30, 2020, $2,127 of the debt discount was amortized. For the three month period ended September 31, 2020, $3,804 of the debt discount was amortized. As of December 31, 2020, all $5,000 of the debt discount was fully amortized and the note was at its full amount of $35,000. As of March 31, 2021, the note has not been paid and currently is in default. The default conversion rate is convertible at a variable rate. Accordingly, the Company concluded there is an embedded derivative which was required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company chose to use the Black Scholes model to calculate the derivative liability. The assumptions in the derivative liability calculation included the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.0070 at the valuation date, term of zero, a risk free rate of between $0.0010 and $0.0011 and a volatility rate of between 337% and 341%.

On July 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with AJB Capital Investments, LLC with respect to the sale and issuance of: (i) a commitment fee in the amount of $250,000 in the form of 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the common stock, and (iv) 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Note and Warrants were issued on July 23, 2021. The Commitment Fee Shares were issued at a value of $250,000, the Note was issued in a principal amount of $300,000 for a purchase price of $270,000, resulting in an original issue discount of $30,000; the Warrants were issued, with an initial exercise price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment; and 5,000 Series D Shares were issued to be converted into the shares of common stock of the Company solely in the event of default under the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the Investor for the issuance of the Commitment Fee Shares, Note and Warrants was $253,000, due to a reduction in the $270,000 purchase price as a result of broker, legal, and transaction fees. For the three month period ended September 31, 2021, $11,342 of the debt discount was amortized.

Equity Financing Agreement

On March 5, 2020, the Company entered into an equity financing agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) with GHS Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”). Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to GHS an indeterminate amount of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), up to an aggregate price of four million dollars ($4,000,000).

  Following effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall have the discretion to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the investment amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each put notice shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put, so long as such dollar amount does not exceed $500,000. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s Common Stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership, equalling more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Market Price (as defined in the Equity Financing Agreement). Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note, for the principal balance of $35,000. Per the terms of the convertible promissory note, the Company agreed to pay GHS interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) until it became due on December 5, 2020. The holder of the convertible promissory note shall have the right at any time to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest at a fixed conversion price of $0.0175. See Note 5. The principal balance of $35,000 has been recognized as deferred financing costs in current assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, and will be charged against the gross proceeds of each put when received.  Although the Company has not delivered any put to GHS yet, the Equity Financing Agreement is in effect for three (3) years, through March 2023, and as the Company does plan to put to GHS, the Company has determined it is proper for the deferred costs to remain for the length of the Equity Financing Agreement.

Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company is required, within sixty (60) calendar days upon the date of execution of the Equity Financing Agreement, to use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement or registration statements (as is necessary) on Form S-1, covering the resale of all of the registrable securities, which registration statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416 promulgated under the 1933 Act, such registration statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) on August 6, 2020. The Registration Statement has been withdrawn as of the date of this filing and never became effective.

NOTE 7 - MANDATORY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Issuances of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On January 10, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

On January 14, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations for a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The authorized number of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is 1,000,000 shares, par value 0.001. The Series C Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank: (a) senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Company’s common stock, (b) junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with respect to the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock; and (c) junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to all existing indebtedness of the Company. Series C Preferred Stock will carry an annual ten percent (10%) cumulative dividend, compounded daily, payable solely upon redemption, liquidation or conversion. The Company will have a right, at any time in the period of 180 days from the date of the issuance, at the Company’s option, to redeem all or any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock at prices ranging from 105% to 130%, based on the passage of time.

10

NOTE 7 - MANDATORY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

The number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding were 173,084 and 196,084, respectively, for September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

The Holder shall have the right at any time during the period beginning on the date which is six (6) months following the Issuance Date, to convert all or any part of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Variable Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 71% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 29%). “Market Price” means the average of the two (2) lowest Trading Prices (as defined here) for the Common Stock during the fifteen (15) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.

The Preferred stock is convertible after six months at 71% of the average market price of the Company’s stock based on the lowest two (2) market closes fifteen (15) days prior. Consequently, the shares were converted at different rates. The Company analyzed the conversion feature and determined it was required to be bifurcated and recognized as a derivative liability. Three (3) batches of Preferred stock were subject to derivative liability valuation based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model. As the fair value of each of the three (3) derivative and the shares issued at inception were in excess of the face amount of the Preferred stock, the Company recorded a discount in the amount of $35,000  to be amortized utilizing the effective interest method of accretion over the term of the note.

On the date which is eighteen (18) months following the Issuance Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company shall redeem all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Holder (which have not been previously redeemed or converted). With five (5) days of the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall make payment to each Holder of an amount in cash equal to the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder multiplied by the then current Stated Value.

All shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock have been presented outside of permanent equity in accordance with ASC 480, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company accretes the carrying value of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimate of fair value (i.e., redemption value) at period end.

The carrying value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was $173,084 and $196,083 net of discount, respectively. There were 90,750 Preferred C shares issued for net proceeds of $75,000 and 116,050 Preferred C shares converted to 17,534,387 Common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The conversion rates of the convertible notes and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at a variable rate. Accordingly, the Company concluded there is an embedded derivative which was required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company chose to use the Black Scholes model to calculate the derivative liability. The assumptions in the derivative liability calculation included the price of the Company’s common stock of $0.0141 at the valuation date, term of zero, a risk free rate of between $0.0010 and $0.0011 and a volatility rate of between 150% and 341%. The Company has recorded the embedded derivative liability at its’ fair value utilizing the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model, as follows:

Schedule of fair value of derivative liability
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liability	$	-	$	-	$	542,131	$	542,131

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.

The Company has estimated its effective tax rate to be 0%, based primarily on losses incurred and the uncertainty of realization of the tax benefit of such losses.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has reviewed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2021 to the date these financial statements were issued. Between January 1, 2021   and March 31, 2021, the Company issued 26,769,540 shares of common stock. Of this amount, 17,500,000 shares were issued from stock payable, 6,709,100 were converted from Preferred C shares and 2,560,440 shares were issued for legal services.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

SmartMetric, Inc. is a company engaged in the technology industry. SmartMetric has secured a patent covering technology that involves connection to networks using data cards (smart cards and EMV cards). In addition, SmartMetric holds the sole license to five (5) issued patents covering features of its biometric fingerprint activated cards. SmartMetric’s main products are a fingerprint sensor activated payments card and a security card with a finger sensor and fully functional fingerprint reader embedded inside the card. The cards have a rechargeable battery allowing for portable biometric identification and card activation. These cards are herein sometimes referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric Card.

Recent Developments

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on SmartMetric’s final card production. While the delays are due to supply line disruption, the Company is confident that these delays will be short-lived based on advice from our manufacturing partners, manufacturing alternatives and alternative supply lines that are being put into place by the Company.

GHS Equity Financing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

On March 5, 2020, the Company entered into an equity financing agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”). Under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS agreed to provide the Company with up to $4,000,000 over the course of 36 months in return for shares of the Company’s common stock. The 36-month period was expected to commence upon effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 6, 2020.

Following effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company would have had the discretion to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) based on the investment amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each put notice shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days preceding the put, so long as such amount does not exceed $500,000. Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase, and the Company may not put shares of the Company’s Common Stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equalling more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Market Price (as defined in the Equity Financing Agreement). Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the date on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $4,000,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, or at such time that the Registration Statement is no longer in effect. Additionally, in accordance with the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company issued GHS a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $35,000 and a 9 month maturity date (the “Commitment Note”), with the first $20,000 of the Commitment Note deemed earned upon execution of the Equity Financing Agreement and the remaining $15,000 of the Commitment Note deemed earned upon payment by GHS of the Company’s legal fees. As of September 30, 2021, the note has not been paid.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to file with the Commission the Registration Statement within 60 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement; and (ii) have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission within 30 days after the date the Registration Statement is filed with the Commission, but in no event more than 90 days after the Registration Statement is filed.

On March 11, 2021 the Company withdrew the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933. As a result, the Company cannot avail itself of the benefits of the Equity Financing Agreement. 

Issuance of Commitment Fee Shares, Note, Warrants, and Series D Preferred stock

On July 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (the “Investor”) with respect to the sale and issuance to the Investor of: (i) a commitment fee in the amount of $250,000 in the form of 12,500,000 shares (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, (ii) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”), (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the common stock (the “Warrants”), and (iv) 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Shares”).  The Note and Warrants were issued on July 23, 2021 (the “Original Issue Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Fee Shares were issued at a value of $250,000, the Note was issued in a principal amount of $300,000 for a purchase price of $270,000, resulting in an original issue discount of $30,000; the Warrants were issued, with an initial exercise price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment as described therein; and 5,000 Series D Shares were issued to be converted into the shares of common stock of the Company solely in the event of default under the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the Investor for the issuance of the Commitment Fee Shares, Note and Warrants was $253,000, due to a reduction in the $270,000 purchase price as a result of broker, legal, and transaction fees. The Purchase Agreement limits the Company’s ability to solicit any offers for, respond to any unsolicited offers for, or conduct any negotiations with any other person or entity in respect of any variable rate debt transactions (as more particularly described therein) and provides for Investor’s right of first refusal in connection with a wide range of equity and debt securities of the Company.

Subsequently, in order to alleviate the aforementioned contractual restrictions and to address the Company’s potential liquidity concerns, the Company and the Investor entered a waiver and consent agreement dated as of November 3, 2021 (the “Waiver and Consent”), whereby in consideration of additional 12,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company treated as the Commitment Fee Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the elimination of rights to redeem the Commitment Fee Shares, the Investor agreed to delete the provisions of the Agreement in connection with its right of first refusal. The Waiver and Consent, however, did not eliminate the restriction on the variable rate transactions in accordance with Section 4(k)(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

12

Terms of Note

The Note matures on January 23, 2022, six (6) months after the Original Issue Date, and provides for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to 10% per annum, or, upon an Event of Default, as defined in the Note, the lesser of (i) 18% per annum, and (ii) the maximum amount permitted under law (the “Default Interest”). The Investor shall have the right, only following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all other amounts under the Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, as such common stock exists on the date of issuance of the shares underlying the Note, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such common stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the “Conversion Shares”). The initial conversion price, following and during an Event of Default, for the principal and interest of the Note shall equal the lesser of 90% representing a 10% discount multiplied by the lowest trading price (i) during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the date of issuance of the Conversion Shares, or (ii) during the previous twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on date of conversion of the Note, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Note is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as distributions and mergers, and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by the Company at a price that is lower than the then-current conversion price except for certain exempt issuances. In addition, if, at any time while the Note is issued and outstanding, the Company issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of common stock, then the Investor will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such sales, the aggregate number of shares could have acquired if the Note had been converted.

Going Concern

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

13

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the Company has incurred recurring losses of $583,711 for the three month period ending September 30, 2021 and has incurred a cumulative loss of $29,443,076 since inception (December 18, 2002). The Company is currently in the development stage and has spent a substantial portion of its time in the development of its technology.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include the final phase of development and mass production being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.

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

Effect of Covid-19

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and has since spread worldwide, including to the Unites States, posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). The COVID-19 Pandemic poses a threat to the health and economic wellbeing of our employees, customers and vendors. Like most businesses world-wide, the COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted the Company financially; however, management cannot presently predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

SmartMetric’s commitment to the health and safety of its employees remains our first priority. Our rigorous precautionary measures include the formation of global and regional response teams that maintain contact with authorities and experts to actively manage the situation, restrictions on company travel, quarantine protocols for employees who may have had exposure or have symptoms, frequent disinfecting of our locations and other measures designed to help protect employees, customers and suppliers. We expect to continue these measures until the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained for our business.

In the near-term, our operating results are going to be challenged due to this crisis. We continue to manage our cost structure to meet the uncertain demand, while making additional cost reductions as needed. Our customers’ businesses are subject to the fluctuations in global economic cycles and conditions and other business risk factors which may impact their ability to operate their businesses. The performance and financial condition of our customers may cause us to alter our business terms or to cease doing business with a particular customer. Further, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses could adversely impact our customers’ ability to pay us for work performed, increasing our future estimate of credit losses. 

Critical Accounting Policies

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

14

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

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

Research and Development Costs – Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs. Due to the small size of the Company’s research & development staff as well as the lack of any long term research and development-related contracts, we do not believe that the use of this critical accounting estimate will have a material impact on the results of financial operations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Our results of operations have varied significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter and may vary significantly in the future. We did not have revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2021 and 2020. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $1,100,661 and $225,936, respectively, resulting from the operational activities described below.

Operating Expenses

Operating expense totaled $564,270 and $194,302 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is the result of higher consulting expenses and legal expenses.

Interest income (expense)

We had net interest expense of $30,783 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $28,669 net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $2,114 was attributable to amortization of debt discounts.

We had a gain (loss) on change in derivatives of $(505,608) in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1,064 gain (loss) on change in derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $506,672 was attributable to an increase in convertible debt and series C preferred stock

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception in 2002 as a result of significant expenditures for operations and research and development and the lack of any revenue. We have an accumulated deficit of $29,443,076 as of September 30, 2021 and anticipate that we will continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Through September 30, 2021, we have funded our operations through the private sale of our equity securities and exercises of options and warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $26.9 million from inception through September 30, 2021.

The increase of $228,363 was due to higher sales of the Company’s securities in private placements. We continue to seek funding through private placement sales of equity to fund our continued operations, sales and marketing and ongoing research and development programs.

Equity Financing Agreement 

On March 5, 2020, the Company entered into an equity financing agreement (the “Equity Financing Agreement”) with GHS Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”). Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to GHS an indeterminate amount of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), up to an aggregate price of four million dollars ($4,000,000).

Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company is required, within sixty (60) calendar days upon the date of execution of the Equity Financing Agreement, to use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement or registration statements (as is necessary) on Form S-1, covering the resale of all of the registrable securities under the Equity Financing Agreement. However, on March 11, 2021, the Company withdrew, pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, the registration statement it filed in connection with the Equity Financing Agreement. As a result, the Company cannot avail itself of the benefits of the Equity Financing Agreement with GHS.

On March 5, 2020, the Company issued a $35,000 10% convertible note to the investor in relation to the Equity Financing Agreement. The convertible note was due on December 5, 2020 and is convertible at a rate of $0.0175 per share which resulted in a discount from the beneficial conversion feature totaling $5,000. During the year ended June 30, 2020, $2,127 of the debt discount was amortized. For the three month period ended September 30, 2020, $3,804 of the debt discount was amortized. As of September 30, 2021, all $5,000 of the debt discount was fully amortized and the note was at its full amount of $35,000. As of September 30, 2021, the note has not been paid and currently is in default.

The Company plans to continue its relationship with Geneva Roth Remark for long term capital strategy.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Limitations on Controls

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

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are being performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties in all of our financially significant processes and have concluded that its internal controls are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
