Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
COPsync, Inc. (formerly, Global Advance Corporation) (“the Company”), which was incorporated on October 23, 2006 in Delaware, is in the development stage and has not commenced significant operations. On March 20, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Global Advance Corporation to COPsync, Inc. This amendment was filed on April 24, 2008.
The Company operates as a software provider that not only enhances productivity and quality of work, but creates a safer work environment for the public safety community by developing the first real-time, nationwide public safety information sharing network.
On April 17, 2008, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000, implement a 15-for-1 forward stock split, and authorize 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto have been adjusted accordingly to reflect this forward stock split.
Effective April 25, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with PostInk Technology, LP and RSIV, LLC (collectively “PostInk”) for 100% of the interests in PostInk. On the closing date, the Company issued 25,000,005 shares (post forward stock split) of its common stock, 100,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Shares, and warrants to purchase 74,423,069 shares (post forward stock split) of common stock, in exchange for 100% of PostInk. The Company also cancelled 29,388,750 shares held by its existing stockholders.
The shares issued in the acquisition resulted in the owners of PostInk having operating control of the Company immediately following the acquisition, as PostInk exercises control over a majority of the Company’s shares. Therefore, this acquisition has been accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a reverse acquisition, with PostInk becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. These consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of PostInk, not COPsync, Inc. (formerly, Global Advance Corporation), the legal parent company. PostInk is treated as the parent company for accounting purposes and COPsync, Inc. is the parent company for legal purposes. The historical financial statements presented are those of PostInk rather than COPsync, Inc.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the development stage and just recently began to realize licensing revenues from operations. The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. The SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize the revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to licensing fees on a monthly basis, over the life of the licensing agreement, and when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Per the terms of the licensing agreements, generally the entire license fee is received by the Company at the beginning of the contract, which funds are then used to purchase the related hardware and software needed. Accordingly, at March 31, 2009, the Company had received a total of $261,888 of which only $4,169 has been recorded as earned revenue. The remaining amount of $257,719 has been recorded as deferred revenue on licensing agreements, which will be recognized as revenue over the remaining term of the licensing agreements, as earned.
In addition, the Company had incurred hardware and software costs related to these licensing agreements, totaling $110,246 as of March 31, 2009, of which only $3,119 has been recorded as cost of revenues (recorded as a net cost against licensing revenues). The remaining amount of $107,127 has been recorded as deferred costs on licensing agreements, which will be recognized as cost of revenue over the remaining term of the licensing agreements, in conjunction with the earned revenues.
Loss Per Share
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements.
The computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements, plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. Common stock equivalents, totaling 8,400,000 shares pursuant to the convertible debentures, 15,264,800 shares pursuant to outstanding warrants, and 75,000,000 shares pursuant to the conversion of preferred shares as of March 31, 2009, have not been included because they are anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets.
The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

NOTE 2 - - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” under which certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility may be capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company determines technological feasibility to be established upon completion of (1) product design, (2) detail program design, (3) consistency between product and program design and (4) review of detail program design to ensure that high risk development issues have been resolved. Upon the general release of the product to customers, development costs for that product are amortized over periods not exceeding three years, based on the estimated economic life of the product. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $2,202,654 and $2,127,296 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The Company is currently in the development stage, and has had minimal operations. Originally, the business plan of the Company was to develop a commercial application of a prototype utilizing the design in a patent pending of a “two-foot operated mouse” which is a device intended to provide alternate access to all computer-related mouse functionality through the use of one’s feet, rather than one’s hands. However, during the current year, the Company discontinued this business plan to focus on developing software that will not only enhance productivity and quality of work, but creates a safer work environment for the public safety community by developing the first real-time, nationwide public safety information sharing network.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not currently established revenues significant enough to cover its operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception. Further, as of March 31, 2009, the cash resources of the Company were insufficient to meet its current business plan, and the Company had negative working capital. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received a total of $420,000 from a related individual pursuant to a convertible note payable. The note bears interest at 9% per annum, is due on demand, and is convertible into common stock at $0.05 per share. Accrued interest on this note payable at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 totaled $32,002 and $22,552, respectively.

NOTE 4 - - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company received a total of $120,000 from an unrelated individual pursuant to a convertible note payable. The note bears interest at 10% per annum, is due on March 31, 2011, and is convertible into common stock at $0.20 per share. Accrued interest on this note payable at March 31, 2009 totaled $333.
The convertible notes have been accounted for pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible note received in 2008, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008. However, pursuant to the terms of the new convertible note received during the three months ended March 31, 2009, a beneficial conversion feature was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2009, totaling $18,000, which is being amortized over the term of the note, or two years.
NOTE 5 - - PREFERRED STOCK
Pursuant to the share exchange agreement previously discussed in Note 1, the Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 750 shares of common stock, and includes voting rights on a basis of 750 to 1.
NOTE 6 - - OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
As previously discussed, the Company granted 15,000,000 warrants to an individual, pursuant to the share exchange agreement, which warrants are exercisable at $0.05 per share, and expire on April 1, 2012. In addition, pursuant to certain private placements at $0.40 per share, the Company also granted a total of 264,800 warrants to the investors, exercisable at $0.60 per share, which expire on March 1, 2010. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to FASB Statement 123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants. Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, no value was assigned to the warrants granted, thus no additional expense was recorded under the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company estimated the fair value of the stock warrants based on the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate | 1.78% |
Expected life | 18 months |
Expected volatility | 25% |
Dividend yield | 0.00% |

Overview
Since January 2005, when our predecessor, PostInk Technology, LP, a Texas limited partnership, was formed, we have primarily been a provider of software designed to enhance productivity and quality of work of the public safety community. Effective April 25, 2008, we completed a share exchange with our predecessor. In the share exchange, the owners of our predecessor acquired beneficial ownership of approximately 87 percent of our outstanding common stock. In addition, in connection with the share exchange, we changed our name from Global Advance Corporation to COPsync, Inc. As a result of the share exchange, for financial accounting purposes, we treated the share exchange as a purchase of our company by our predecessor. Therefore, we have presented the historical financial statements of our predecessor, for comparison purposes, for all of our reporting periods prior to the share exchange presented in this prospectus.
We were incorporated in Delaware on October 23, 2006. Prior to the share exchange, our business plan was to develop a commercial application of a prototype utilizing the design in a patent pending “two-foot operated mouse,” which is a device intended to provide alternate access to all computer-related mouse functionality through the use of one’s feet, rather than one’s hands. We discontinued this business plan as of September 30, 2008. We began to focus on the business of our predecessor to develop software that would not only enhance productivity and quality of work, but creates a safer work environment, for the public safety community by developing the first real-time, nationwide public safety information sharing network.
We believe that we have developed the first integrated software product, COPsync, which provides a real-time, nationwide information sharing network for all law enforcement officers. We also believe that we are the only law enforcement software provider to have full information sharing networking available to all subscribing agencies at the point of incident via a laptop computer or handheld devices. It is our mission that, in the future, all law enforcement officers will have access to, in real time, the critical information necessary to protect the public and themselves. We currently have over 3600 police officers committed to utilizing our product. Beta testing is complete and our product is available for general release. We began generating license fee revenue from our product in the third quarter of 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, our product had successfully submitted, processed and relayed over 28,100 officer initiated information requests. On average, our product is returning results to mobile users in less than five seconds, well within the 32 second average set forth by the NCIC 2000 standards for mobile clients. We continue to garner support from law enforcement agencies. In 2008, 119 agencies expressed interest and indicated that they would utilize our product in their respective agencies. However, we must obtain additional funding to establish the cash resources necessary to implement our business plan.
Law enforcement agencies and associations at the federal, state and local levels are pushing information sharing initiatives. Global Justice XML standards were developed and have been published by the United States federal government since 1997. To date, interoperability between law enforcement agencies in the United States does not appear to exist. We believe that this failure is directly related to software vendors that have remained focused on their existing methods of doing business, including proprietary development, which does not focus on global information sharing. We strive to fulfill the interoperability role through the deployment of our product, which is an overlay product to existing technologies that can be deployed without jeopardizing existing vendor relationships. Our method of data integration will bring existing vendors into compliance with federal mandates established after 9/11.
Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions are routinely evaluated. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Our management believes that there has been no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to the items we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Results of Operations
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenue. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, our revenues were $1,050, compared to $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due to license fee revenues realized on our product, which we released for licensing in the third quarter of 2008.
Operating Expenses. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, our total operating expenses were $231,416 and $215,830, respectively. This increase was due to an increase in depreciation and amortization, primarily because of an increase in capitalized software development costs, professional fees, as a result of becoming a publicly reporting company in April of 2008, which was partially offset by a decrease in salaries and wages.
Other Income (Expense). For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, other income(expense) totaled $10,157 and $2,780, respectively. Other income(expense) consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $467 and $0, respectively; offset by interest expense on notes payable of $10,157 and $2,780, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, we had $186,987 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $209,378 as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was due primarily to $28,648 in cash used in operating activities and $111,880 in investing activities, which was partially offset by $120,000 in proceeds received for the issuance of a convertible note. On March 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of $585,508, compared to a deficit of $295,708 on December 31, 2008. The increase in the deficiency was due primarily to an increase of $100,387 in convertible notes payable, and an increase of $257,719 in deferred revenues, which was offset by the increase in deferred costs and a decrease in cash.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months.
Our primary business activities includes the development and sale of software that would not only enhance productivity and quality of work, but creates a safer work environment, for the public safety community by developing the first real-time, nationwide public safety information sharing network. In the three months ending March 31, 2009, we received $261,888 from licensing our software product, versus $110,246 in software and hardware costs related to those receipts. We believe that we will be able generate sufficient cash flow from our core business activities to meet operating and capital needs for the next twelve months. However, we may need to seek additional financings if the timing of sales and cash requirements necessitates such financings.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate and foreign currency exposure. We do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk. We did not experience a material impact from interest rate risk during fiscal 2008.
Currently, we do not have any significant investments in financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, or to manage our interest rate exposure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. After our new members of management joined us in April of 2008, our management team, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects as of March 31, 2009. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by the chief executive officer and principal financial officer.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that materially affected, or was reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims against us arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. At this time, we are not involved in any legal proceedings that our management currently believes would be material to our business, financial condition or results of operations. To the extent we become involved in any litigation, we could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to those legal proceedings, and in the event there is an outcome in any that is adverse to us, our financial position and prospects could be harmed.
Not applicable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 20, 2009, we completed a private placement of a convertible promissory note, in a principal amount of $120,000, which was issued to an individual investor. The note is convertible into 600,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”). We received $120,000 in cash for the Note.
The note, and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the note, was offered and sold to one private individual that we reasonably believes are “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The offers and sales were made without registration under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. No general solicitation or general advertising was used in connection with the offering of the note. We disclosed to the investor that the note and the common stock underlying the note could not be sold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available, and the note included, and the certificates representing the common stock to be issued upon conversion of the note will include, a legend to that effect.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securityholders
None.
On March 20, 2009, we issued a note in the initial principal amount of $120,000. The note is unsecured and accrues interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. All outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable on March 31, 2011. The principal amount is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.20 per share. With ten days prior written notice after September 30, 2009, we can require that the note be converted if our common stock trades in excess of $0.60 for at least 30 days. Accrued interest is payable on each September 30 and March 31 until maturity in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock with an aggregate market price equal to the accrued and unpaid interest. We may not prepay the note without the consent of the holder.
