COPsync Announces Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Recurring Revenues and Sales Bookings Steadily Increase
DALLAS, TX – August 15, 2016 – COPsync, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYN) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. COPsync operates the nation's only system connecting law enforcement officers and agencies nationwide, and the COPsync911 threat-alert service that connects schools, government buildings, hospitals and other potentially at-risk facilities directly to the local patrol units and the 9-1-1 dispatch center.
Company Highlights for Q2 and First Half of 2016
· | Increased Sales Bookings: Licensing/subscription sales bookings for Q2 of 2016 were $525,000, resulting in $914,000 in licensing/subscription sales bookings during the first six months of 2016. This is an increase of 30% compared to $705,000 for the comparable six-month period in 2015. Total sales bookings for Q2 were $1.4, resulting in $2.5 million of total sales bookings for the first six months of 2016. This is an increase of 34% compared to $1.9 million for the comparable six-month period in 2015. |
· | Increased Revenue: Software licenses/subscription revenues in Q2 2016 were $842,000, a 13% year-over-year increase. Total revenues for Q2 2016 rose to approximately $1.3 million, a 4% year-over-year increase from revenues of approximately $1.2 million recorded in Q2 2015. |
· | Continued Growth in Texas and Progressive Opening of New Markets: The Company continued to build its footprint in Texas and also made its first sale of the COPsync Network in Oklahoma and its first sale of COPsync911 in Florida. The Company now has customers in 13 states and its customer base consists of approximately 740 COPsync Network customers and approximately 1,100 COPsync911 facilities under contract throughout the U.S. |
· | Agreement with LIFEWatch USA: During Q2, the Company entered into an agreement with LIFEWatch USA, one of the nation's leading providers of hand-held personal medical emergency alerting systems. The current focus of the collaboration is for COPsync to sell the LIFEWatch emergency alerting device in markets other than the medical market. Markets targeted by the Company include students, real estate workers, pizza delivery workers, amusement park workers and others who may need to send an emergency alert for assistance. |
CEO Comment; Business Progress; and Outlook
Mr. Ronald A. Woessner, CEO of COPsync, Inc. stated, “The Company continues to make significant investments in the Company’s cloud-based technology infrastructure and in sales/business development activities. The technology investments are intended to yield a scalable and sustainable technology infrastructure and enable the Company to provide its services to the approximate 1.1 million U.S. law enforcement officers and the hundreds of thousands of schools, courthouses, government buildings, energy infrastructure and other potentially at-risk facilities in the U.S.
“The sales/business development investments are intended to increase sales bookings and the Company’s customer presence throughout the U.S. This investment is beginning to yield results. Licensing/Subscription sales bookings for the first six months of 2016 were $914,000, an increase of 30% compared to $705,000 for the same period in 2015. Total sales bookings for the first six months of the year were $2.5 million, an increase of 34% compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2015. Moreover, the Company now has a customer presence in 13 states.”
Mr. Woessner continued, “Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that the Sheriff’s Office in Bexar County – where the City of San Antonio is located – has agreed to conduct an evaluation of the COPsync Network. We hope and expect that this evaluation by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, comprised of approximately 1,000 sworn officers, will be favorable. The Company believes that signing one or more major Texas law enforcement agencies, such as the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office to the COPsync Network, sooner or later will create a ‘tipping point’ effect in our home state of Texas. This then is expected to create momentum that ultimately would bring the bulk of the estimated 100,000 Texas law enforcement officers, comprising approximately 8% of the law enforcement officers in the U.S., onto the COPsync Network.”
Outlook
“The Company plans to be successful in adding agencies to the COPsync Network and schools and other facilities to the COPsync911 threat-alert system platform in ever increasing numbers. These agencies and facilities will be added through both consistent, methodical and deliberate sales efforts and the increased leverage resulting from the inevitable ‘network effects.’ The cumulative weight of these efforts is expected to create a ‘tipping point’ dynamic -- first here in the Company’s home state of Texas and then other states as the Company’s sales presence in that state reaches a critical mass. Hence, the Company expects its sales bookings to accelerate over time through the efforts of a larger, more experienced sales force and through the effects of the tipping point dynamic.
“These customers over time are expected to create an ever-increasing stream of recurring cash and recurring revenues. The Company anticipates supporting these customers with a relatively flat overall expense structure. This ever-increasing stream of recurring cash plus cash from accelerating new sales bookings – all supported by a relatively flat overall expense structure – is expected to result in the Company becoming cash flow positive from operations sometime during 2017,” said Mr. Woessner.
Financial Highlights for Second Quarter 2016
· | Revenues: Total revenues for Q2 2016 rose to approximately $1.3 million, a 4% increase from revenues of approximately $1.2 million recorded in Q2 2015. The revenue increase in Q2 2016 was driven by a 13% year over year increase in software licenses/subscriptions revenues totaling $842,000. The increase in software licenses/subscriptions revenues was partially offset by a decline in hardware, installation, and other revenue, which totaled $448,000 in Q2 2016 compared to $499,000 in Q2 2015. The Company expects its hardware sales to vary over time depending on the nature of new and existing contracts, and it expects these sales to decline progressively as a percentage of consolidated revenue over time and to be used in support of the growth of its recurring SaaS-based licensing/subscription business. The Company expects future revenues to be driven by ongoing organic growth, increased sales and business development efforts to drive the national expansion of its COPsync and COPsync911 services, product innovation, and potential acquisitions. |
· | Gross Profit: Gross profit percentage in Q2 2016 for software license/subscription revenues increased to 58% in Q2 2016 compared to 57% in same period 2015. Overall consolidated gross profit for Q2 2016 totaled $171,000, or 13%, compared to $558,000, or 34%, in Q2 2015. The decline in overall gross profit resulted from negative gross profit for hardware and installation revenue compared to a gross profit percentage of 27% in Q2 2015. This decrease in gross profit performance was due principally to fewer hardware units installed during the quarter, price discounting and increased internal costs between periods. The Company expects hardware price discounting to continue through 2016 as it attempts to accelerate its growth in sales bookings, and ultimately increased overall revenues. |
· | Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses were $3.2 million in Q2 2016 compared to $1.5 million for the same period 2015. The increase in total operating expenses was a result of a significant increase in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses coupled with a slight increase in research and development expenses. The increase in sales and marketing was a result of business development expenses related to the Company’s expansion outside of Texas as well as the addition of sales personnel in eight states. The increase in G&A expenses was a result of increased professional fees and increases in operations personnel to support the Company’s growing customer base, which now totals nearly 740 COPsync Network and 1,100 COPsync911 customers. The Company anticipates G&A expenses to trend slightly down for the remainder of 2016. The Company intends to continue to invest in R&D at current levels to enhance the features and functionality of the Company’s service and product offerings and further to enhance its technology platform to enable it to support millions of users across the U.S., each paying an annually recurring subscription fee. |
· | Operating Income (Loss): Operating loss in Q2 2016 was $3 million, compared to an operating loss of $941,000 for the same period 2015. The increase in operating loss in Q2 2016 was mainly attributable to a decrease in gross profit from hardware and installation sales, and an increase in overall operating expenses as the Company continues its nationwide expansion efforts. |
· | Net Income (Loss): Net loss for Q2 2016 was $3.1 million, compared to net loss of $1.1 million during the prior year period. GAAP loss per share in second quarter 2016 was ($0.35) on 8.8 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to ($0.28) for the same period 2015 on 4.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. |

Ronald Woessner:
Thank you, Operator. Good afternoon, listeners. Thank you for attending the call today. Welcome to COPsync's 2016 Q2 Financial Results Conference Call. With me today is the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Barry Wilson.

This webcast will be available at www.copsync.com on Investor Relations page.
Today, we will review our 2015 Q2 financial results and cover a number of points to let you know where our business is headed, our current performance, our strategic initiatives and our roadmap for growing our business to achieve positive cash flow and eventual profitability.
For those of you who may be new to Company COPsync is a developer or the software provider of the nation's only system connecting law enforcement officers and agencies nationwide and COPsync911 to our alert service that connects schools, government buildings hospitals and other potentially at risk facilities directly to the local patrol units and dispatch. The Company also offers an in vehicle video system for law enforcement.
We have established a significant footprint in Texas for the COPsync Network COPsync911 platforms and we have begun a methodical nationwide expansion plan to grow our business on a state by state basis.
Looking back on the second quarter we continue to make significant investments in the Company's cloud based technology infrastructure as well as in sales and business development activities that we believe will lead to sustainable growth in our business for years to come. The technology investments are intended to yield a scalable and (inaudible) technology infrastructure to enable the companies to seamlessly provide its services to the approximate $1.1 million US law enforcement officers and the hundreds of thousands of schools, courthouse and government buildings, energy infrastructure and other potentially at risk facilities here in the US.
We have stepped up our sales and business development activities to increase the Company's presence throughout the United States. As we implement our strategic plan we have begun to see positive results with licensing subscription sales bookings for the first six months of 2016 totaling $914,000 an increase of 30% compared to $705,000 for the same period in 2015. Total sales bookings for the first six months of the year were $2.5 million, an increase at 34% compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2015. More over the Company now has a customer presence in 13 states compared to just three in the same period in 2015.
While we continue to build our SaaS business model into new states we expect to see a progressive shift in our revenue toward higher margin recurring licenses and subscription revenue as opposed to revenue from hardware sales. While third party hardware will always being an important aspect of our business we see it more as means to support our core COPsync Network and COPsync911 services.
Before reviewing the Q2 numbers in greater detail, I would like to highlight some of the important events that took place in the second quarter. First in April of 2016 the Company entered into an agreement with LIFEWatch USA, one of the nation's leading providers of personal medical emergency alerting systems. We all have seen those TV commercials where you have the folks that have “I've fallen down and I can't get up”. This is what I refer to when I refer to personal emergency medical emergency alerting systems. The current focus of this collaboration with LIFEWatch is for COPsync to sell the LIFEWatch handheld medical emergency alerting device in markets other than the medical market. Markets being targeted by COPsync includes students, real estate workers, food deliveries, amusement park workers and others who may need to send in emergency alert for assistance.
The second important event that took place in the second quarter is that the Company continued to build its footprint in Texas and also made its first COPsync Network sale in Oklahoma and its first sale COPsync911 in Florida. As previously mentioned we now have customers in 13 states and our customer base consists of a primarily 740 COPsync Network customers and approximately 1100 COPsync911 facilities under contract. It is also very important to know that in Texas where we have our largest footprint we recently announced that the Sheriff's office in Bexar County where the city of San Antonio is located has agreed to conduct an evaluation of the COPsync Network. We hope and expect that this evaluation will be favorable.
The Company believes that signing one or more major Texas law enforcement agencies such as the Bexar County Sheriff's Office which is comprised of approximately 1,000 sworn officers. We believe that signing one or more of these major Texas Law Enforcement Agencies to the COPsync Network will create a "Tipping Point" effect here in the state. This then is expected to create momentum to establish the COPsync Network software as a mission critical part of Texas law enforcement and ultimately bring the bulk of the estimated 100,000 Texas law enforcement officers comprising approximately 8% of all the law enforcement officers in the United States on to the COPsync Network.
Third, we added eight new sales professionals to our Team in the quarter to service states in the id-South, Eastern states and Central United States. We are confident that our sales investments will lead to accelerated revenue growth later this year and into 2017 as we become further entrenched in these markets. We continue to believe that by working through a combination of direct sales and key distributors we can maximize the overall effectiveness of our sales and business development strategies.
As we move to 2016, we're working diligently to position the Company for long term success. We continue to believe we're at the right place at the right time with the right products and services to reach our goal of establishing COPsync Network and COPsync911 as the nationwide platform to enhance facility safety and real time law enforcement information inner operability and communication.
I will now turn to a discussion of our financial results in greater detail and then discuss some of the key drivers we receive for growing the business throughout the remainder of 2016 and beyond. Our revenues for Q2 2016 were $1.3 million, a 4% increase from revenues of $1.2 million recorded in Q2 2015. The revenue increase was driven by a 13% year-over-year increase in software licenses subscription revenue which totaled approximately $842,000. The increase in software licenses subscription revenues of 13% was partially offset by a slight decline in hardware installation and other revenue which totaled $449,000 in Q1—Q2 2016 compared to $499,000 of the same quarter last year. As I previously mentioned we expect hardware sales to be a lesser percentage of our revenue mix in years to come as we build out our software as a services network.
In our core SaaS business gross profit for licensing and subscriptions in Q2 2016 rose to $487,000 compared to $426,000 in Q2 2015 with a gross profit percentage increasing by one percentage point to 58%. Margins for hardware sales (phon) were negative in the quarter compared to their gross profit percentage of 27% in Q2 of 2015. The decrease in gross profit performance of the hardware arena was due principally to slightly fewer hardware units installed during the period, a price discounting to accelerate the sale of the COPsync Network and increase internal costs between periods. As a result consolidated gross profit in Q2 2016 totaled $171,000 compared to $558,000 in Q2 2015 and the consolidated gross profit percentage was 13% for Q2 2016 compared to 45% in Q2 2015.
Operating loss in Q2 2016 was negative $3 million compared to an operating loss of $941,000 in Q2 2015. The increase in operating loss was attributable to an increase in sales, marketing and general administrative costs as well as increased R&D spending. Total operating expenses were $3.2 million this quarter compared to $1.5 million probable quarter of 2015. The increase in total operating expense was mainly a result of two factors. First as a result of an increase in business development and sales expenses and other consulting fees and an increase in headcount costs for new employee hires and (inaudible) to consolidate to selling our products and services in new territories.
Second, an increase in G&A expenses for professional fees for financial advisory, legal investor relations and government relations payroll and travel expenses. We believe that the majority of these expenses have reached a plateau in this quarter and will remain consistent to trending downward in the second half of 2016. R&D expenses increased to $518,000 this quarter from $460,000 in the same period last year. The Company expects R&D expenses to continue to increase in 2016 as additional resources are invested in feature and functionality enhancements designed to facilitate the sale of the Company's COPsync Network and COPsync911 service offerings across the US and initiatives to further enhance the Company's technology platform so that it will be capable of supporting millions of users.
We recorded a net loss of $3.1 million this quarter compared to a net loss of $1.1 million during the prior year period. This increase in net loss was mainly attributable to the costs associated to support our growing business as previously mentioned. We recorded a GAAP loss per share this quarter of $0.35 on (inaudible) $8 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to a net loss per share of $0.28 in the prior period quarter on $4 million weighted average shares outstanding. From a balance sheet perspective as of June 30, 2016 the Company had $2.2 (phon) million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $8.3 million at year-end 2015.
In summary, we are focused on positioning COPsync for sustainable and profitable growth for many years to come. We continue to look to strengthen our leading position in Texas in order to (inaudible) as a model for other states to follow. We have established a large sales presence here in Texas and in other states throughout the US. We will aggressively sell our network across the nation and have implemented a wide range of sales efforts and business development efforts including business collaborations and media outreach and endorsements to build market awareness. We are both (inaudible) we’re beginning to see positive results from this effort. During the quarter we've established initial sales in Florida and Oklahoma and have added new customers in Massachusetts, Virginia, Louisiana and in our home State of Texas. We also look forward to working with the Bexar County sheriff's office as previously mentioned as they evaluate our service. Our Sales Team is also looking at numerous opportunities with the potential to bring both a near and long term impact on our sales.
As we move closer to 2017 we plan to be successful in adding agencies to the COPsync Network and school and other facilities to the COPsync911 alert system platform in ever increasing numbers. These agencies and facilities will be added through both consistent, methodical and deliberate sales efforts and the increase leverage resulting from the inevitable called "Network Effects." The cumulative weight of all of these efforts is expected to create a "Tipping Point" dynamic. First here in our home State of Texas and then in other states as the Company's sales presence in that state reaches a critical mass. Hence we expect our sales bookings to accelerate over time through the efforts of a larger more experienced sales force and through the effects of this ”Tipping Point” dynamics. These customers over time are expected to create an ever increasing stream of recurring cash and recurring revenues. We anticipate supporting these customers with a relatively flat overall expense structure, it's ever increasing stream of recurring cash, plus cash from accelerating new sales bookings all supported by a relatively flat overall expense structure is expected to result in the Company becoming cash flow positive from operations sometime in 2017.
Further, I now want to provide investors insight as to the Company's broader business development and sales expansion strategy for expanding into states other than Texas. This strategy has two elements, first a direct sales effort by the Sales Team in the states targeted for (inaudible) this effort is by the "Boots on the Ground" so to speak who are meeting with prospective customers. The Sales Team typically targets schools and other potentially at risk facilities as early adopters in the expansion states for the companies COPsync911 threat alert system. The reason for focusing on schools in new states in which we seek expansion is twofold.
One, everyone is concerned about keeping children, teachers, school administrators safe, and two meetings with prospective customers to discuss school safety can readily be obtained. Now once the school agrees to subscribe to use the COPsync911 threat alert system our Sales Reps often enlist the aid of the school to contact the local law enforcement representatives who will be the first responder to these COPsync911 threat alerts. This then opens the door for our Sales Reps to have a direct dialogue with the local law enforcement agency. Once the local law enforcement agency agrees to be the responder for the school the agency then becomes an evangelist, an advocate for the COPsync Network among its peers in these areas.
The second element of the Company's expansion strategy into new states is identifying those persons in that state who have the power to influence a school district or law enforcement agency to make a buying decision. These persons typically might be politicians, senior government policy makers or senior agency officials. A successful example of implementation of this strategy was when in 2014 the Governor of New Hampshire determined that the state would be certain of its Department of Homeland Security grant allocations to pay for COPsync911 for every public school in New Hampshire. To identify and connect with these influencers in states where the Company seeks to aggressively expand its business. The Company is looking for the "right" lobbying firms, governmental relations firms or other consultants to (inaudible) these decisions influencers at that executive level.
Of course a similar concept of office with respect to the Company's business development efforts have been (inaudible) level as well. The Company had incurred material expenditures thus far on in 2016 in regard to hiring the "right" lobby firms, government relation firms and other consultants and Company continually (inaudible) so to speak and cuts the non-performing to the Company's expectations and hires others.
In closing before opening the call to questions I want to emphasize that we have a talented and dedicated Team of professionals at COPsync and we are committed to building our Company into a growing high margin sustained revenue generating Company for the benefit of our stockholders. As always we thank our stockholders for their continued support and we look forward to reporting our progress in the Company quarters. That concludes our prepared remarks.
At this time I would like to ask the Operator to please open a call for questions. Note that we will limit callers to one initial question and one follow-up.
Operator:
Ladies and gentlemen if you'd like to ask a question at this time please press star, one on your telephone keypad. If you're on a speakerphone please make sure that your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment. Once again for any questions at this time please press, star one now.
We do have a question from Brian Kinstlinger from Maxim Group.
Josh Sidon:
This is actually Josh Sidon (phon) (inaudible) for Brian. Thanks for taking the question. Initially can you give us a bit of an update on the Bexar County evaluation in terms of how long we might expect for that evaluation to play out and then if we would ultimately expect there to be sort of a stepwise or more incremental uptick in users following perhaps a favorable outcome. Thanks.
Ronald Woessner:
Yes. Well let me talk to you about the process, Jason. We’re currently on the process of planning the implementation of the evaluation. Part of our plan includes working with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office to determine which of the law enforcement of their approximate 1,000 of the patrol officers are actually going to be using the system, that's point number one. Point number two, we'll be identifying a manager whose day-to-day responsibility will be to ensure that this system goes flawlessly. The timeframe for the evaluation will run somewhere between 60 to 90 days after a cut off—sorry after kickoff and then following that we would expect there to be some internal review by the agency of the results of the program and we would obviously our plan would be to obtain a favorable evaluation from the customer which we fully expect to occur though not making any promises for the securities guys (phon) listening and following that are very favorable evaluation sure will occur, we would then expect to sign a contract to customer for an agency wide deployment of the COPsync Network’s service throughout the agency.
And then following that of course we would then—this would then give us the leverage to begin talking with all the schools in the Sheriff’s there in the county about deploying or installing a COPsync911 because now we then have the vision that sheriff's deputies in the county would then be the first responder for COPsync911.
Josh Sidon:
That's helpful. And then kind of on a similar note subsequent to the quarter's end there was also a press release regarding evaluation of the 911 service by Harris County which is in Houston. So can you give us sort of a similar update in terms of how we might see that evaluation kind of progress and then the overall opportunity set in terms of the number of schools and the topline contribution possible from that opportunity? Thank you.
Ronald Woessner:
Yes we will be using the same roll out strategy with respect to the deployment there in the county and the timeframe I would expect it to be of a similar timeframe and then again our expectation is that evaluation will result in a favorable result. Now, I want to put this in perspective for the listeners and our shareholders. We have said that one of our goals as a Company is to tip the state of Texas. And we have said that tipping the State of Texas will—we believe will occur in one of two ways. It will either occur because through our methodical and driven sales efforts we will reach, organically reach a number, that number of users in the state where then we have such a wide and deep penetration throughout the state that the state begins to tip. That's one alternative.
The other alternative we believe that will result in tripping the State of Texas is for the Company to sign as a customer one or more of the larger law enforcement agencies in the State of Texas and the law enforcement agencies in the State of Texas include City of Houston PD, City of San Antonio PD, City of Dallas PD, and Bexar County sheriff's office which of course is where the City of San Antonio is located.
So our objective, our tactical objective as a Company is to sign one or more of these large law enforcement agencies. One or more of these large law enforcement agencies before they sign they will typically want to conduct an evaluation of some kind and so therefore from our perspective we see decisions by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office as an important mile marker along the road from us moving to where we are today to reaching the tipping point here in the State of Texas and with respect to the other large law enforcement agencies in the state we hope and expect to pass, or obtain similar model orders with respect to some of them as well and the listeners and our shareholders then can engage our follow progress as we begin to achieve these marker milestones along the path of tipping the State of Texas. Does that make sense or do I need to expand on that further?
Josh Sidon:
That's helpful. Thank you.
Operator:
Once again ladies and gentlemen if you'd like to ask a question please press star, one now. We'll take a question from Jason Bair, Private Investor.
Jason Bair:
Hi, Ron. Good afternoon. I just wanted to ask one question, it's in regards to past cities that we've seen or we've heard about sort of PR's, social media such as the City of Boston with branding COPsync we remember the City Council meeting and earlier this year with the meeting with the City of Paterson and every everybody with a New Jersey in the Trust to Protect. Well shareholders, can we expect any type of—I don't know like progress report or not quite sure if a pilot went out on any of those areas but it just kind of seems like sometimes it's quiet like something will occur with the PR or with social media and then it's just we don't hear about it for a while. Those are pretty big areas away from Texas. Is that something that you can elaborate anything on or investors could possibly know of any progress report?
Ronald Woessner:
I'd be happy to elaborate on that. The reason why you haven't seen any progress report with respect to those particular opportunities that you mentioned is because we don't have any material progress to announce. Now you say, what do I mean by material progress, for us material—the next material progress milestone would be securing a customer in the State of New Jersey for example that you mentioned. I will say that we have been working very diligently in the State of New Jersey. We have developed and provided to the customer number of customers—a handful of customers proposals in the state and we are now seeking to translate their initial interest or convert their initial interest and enthusiasm into an actual customer. As has been noted from time-to-time this particular space is selling into the government can be very slow, the sales process can be very long, there can be objections from—meaning sales (inaudible) objections or questions or comments or issues from a number of different people within the organization hence these sales are typically considered to be "Complex Sale" in the sales vernacular and each of these then proceeds—opportunities proceeds at a unique pace.
Now having said that we know also that the early adopter, the (inaudible) innovator in each state it takes time to find the first person in the new state. However once you find the first person to sign on then that then begets additional success and that one turns into two and that two turns into four, four turns into 16. Hence that's where we’re with respect to the opportunity in New Jersey and we're going need to work that and our hope and expectation is that we will find the first user there in the state in due course and then with that success then we'll continue to build our presence in that state.
Jason Bair:
Thank you.
Operator:
At this time I show no further questions in the queue. I would like to turn the conference back over to Management for any additional or closing remarks.
Ronald Woessner:
In closing we thank you for your interest and your support of the Company. We are continued—we are focused and committed to building our Company into a growing higher margin revenue generating business for the benefit of the stockholders. I thank you for your time and your attention and good afternoon.
Operator:
That does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for your participation.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
These interim condensed financial statements of COPsync, Inc. (the "Company") are unaudited, but reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2016, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are not included, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, or any other period. The year-end condensed balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company sells the COPsync Network service, which is a real-time, in-car information sharing, communication and data interoperability network for law enforcement agencies. The COPsync Network service enables patrol officers to collect, report and share critical data in real-time at the point of incident and obtain instant access to various local, state and federal law enforcement databases. The COPsync Network service also eliminates manual processes and increases officer productivity by enabling officers to electronically write tickets, process DUI and other arrests and document accidents and other incidents. The Company has designed the COPsync Network to be “vendor neutral,” meaning it can be used with products and services offered by other law enforcement technology vendors. Additionally, the COPsync Network system architecture is designed to scale nationwide.
In addition to the Company’s core COPsync Network service, the Company offers three complementary service/product offerings. These offerings are: COPsync911, an emergency threat notification service; VidTac, an in-vehicle software-driven video camera system for law enforcement and fire departments; and COURTsync, a court security and efficiency application, which includes WARRANTsync, a statewide misdemeanor warrant clearing database.
The Company offers the COPsync911 threat alert, first introduced in the second quarter of 2013, for use in schools, hospitals, day care facilities, governmental office buildings and other facilities with a high level of concern about safety and security. When used in schools, for example, the COPsync911 service enables school personnel to instantly and silently send emergency alerts directly to the five closest law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles, and to the local 911 dispatch center, with the mere click of a screen icon located on every Windows-based computer or any handheld device within the facility. A text alert is also sent to the cell phones of all law enforcement officers in the area and to all teachers, administrators, and other staff at the school, alerting them of potential danger.
VidTac is a software-driven video system for law enforcement. Traditional in-vehicle video systems are “hardware centric” DVR-based systems. The video capture, compression and encryption of the video stream is performed by the DVR. A software-driven video system like VidTac is less expensive than a DVR-based system and eliminates the need for an agency to purchase a second DVR computer that needs to be replaced every three to four years as new patrol vehicles are placed into service.

The COURTsync system is designed to enable judges and court personnel to instantly send emergency alerts directly to the closest law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles and to the local 911dispatch center, from any computer within the facility. Court personnel are also able to query federal law enforcement databases and databases pertaining to officer safety and dangerous persons. Additionally, COURTsync utilizes our WARRANTsync system to give patrol officers utilizing our COPsync Network access to Class C warrant information from the court, enabling them to collect warrant fees for the court.
The WARRANTsync system, which is a feature set of the COURTsync system is designed to be a Texas statewide misdemeanor warrant-clearing database. It enables law enforcement officers in the field to receive notice of outstanding warrants in real-time at the point of a traffic stop. The WARRANTsync system enables the offender to pay the outstanding warrant fees and costs using a credit card. Following payment, the offender is given a receipt and the transaction is complete. This product could be viewed as an enhancement feature to the core COPsync Network service since all COPsync Network users receive the outstanding warrant notice.
In addition to Texas, the Company sells its products in twelve other states.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,220,950, working capital of $141,465 and an accumulated deficit of $35,301,194. The following factors are helping the Company manage its liquidity:
(1) The Company recorded approximately $1,408,000 and $2,548,000 in sales bookings during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, compared to approximately $1,452,000 and $1,903,000 during the comparable periods in 2015. Of the total sales bookings for the first six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $1,358,000 remains unpaid.
(2) On July 1, 2016, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form S-3 Registration Statement which registered the offer and sale of up to $25 million of securities which may be issued by the Company from time to time in indeterminate amounts and at indeterminate times.
(3) The Company will consider on a case-by-case basis additional credit facilities or equity or debt financings to leverage its recurring revenue streams and support additional growth.

The Company began capitalizing its software development costs during the second quarter of 2016. See Note 10 – Capitalized Software for further information.
NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our audited financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgement and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
The standard is effective for us beginning in 2018, and requires using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018.
Going Concern
On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This standard will be effective for the Company for the year ending on December 31, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2014-15.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 Leases (Topic). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for us on January 1, 2016. The Company does not believe this new pronouncement has any application to its financial statements at this time.

NOTE 5 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company's cash and cash equivalents, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, consisted of the following:
Category | June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Unrestricted | $ | 1,971,454 | $ | 8,295,310 | ||||
Restricted | 249,496 | - | ||||||
Total Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,220,950 | $ | 8,295,310 |
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company was requested to pay-off the balance of a lease agreement involving an equipment financing company owned by one of the Company’s outside directors (See Notes 12 and 21). The total balance of the agreement was $241,238, inclusive of principal totaling $219,262, $21,976 for interest on future lease payments called for under the agreement and miscellaneous processing fees. To facilitate this request, the Company secured a bank loan to fund the pay-off. The new loan is a one-year interest only note that requires a restricted balance for principal plus interest of $249,496.
NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company's accounts receivable, net, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, consisted of the following:
Category | June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Trade receivables | $ | 1,474,483 | $ | 1,360,929 | ||||
Other receivables | 33,691 | 26,360 | ||||||
Elimination of unpaid deferred revenue | (1,033,347 | ) | (861,024 | ) | ||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts | (88,000 | ) | (100,000 | ) | ||||
Accounts Receivable, net | $ | 386,827 | $ | 426,265 |
Accounts receivable is derived principally by revenue earned from end-users, which are local and state governmental agencies. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and does not require collateral.
Our trade receivables increased by approximately $113,000 principally due to one reseller’s increased sales volume. At June 30, 2016, the Company considers it has a concentration of credit risk involving a single customer who owes the Company an account balance equivalent to 43% of the Company’s Accounts Receivable, net. The Company is discussing various payment plans with the customer and believes this matter will be successfully resolved by the end of 2016.
The Company’s other receivables generally consist of miscellaneous receivable activities.
The elimination of the unpaid deferred revenue represents those invoices issued for products and/or services not yet paid by the customer or services completed by the Company. The elimination is made to prevent the “gross-up” effect on the Company’s balance sheet between accounts receivable and deferred revenues.
The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon a review of outstanding receivables. Delinquent receivables are written-off based on individual credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the customer.
COPsync, Inc.
Notes To Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
At June 30, 2016, the $88,000 allowance consisted of a $78,000 specific reserve following a customer specific review of total receivables, and a $10,000 general, or non-specific, allowance, compared to a $90,000 specific and $10,000 general allowances at December 31, 2015. The decrease in the specific allowance relates to certain accounts where their previous outstanding receivable balances were written-off to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the second quarter of 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the Company established a $10,000 general allowance, which is directed towards receivables that are over sixty days of age and may be at risk of collection.
NOTE 7 – INVENTORY
The Company's inventory, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, consisted of the following:
Category | June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Finished goods | $ | 601,979 | $ | 504,695 | ||||
Obsolescence Allowance | (20,000 | ) | (20,000 | ) | ||||
Total Inventory, net | $ | 581,979 | $ | 484,695 |
The approximate $97,000 increase in inventory in the first six months of 2016 is due to an increase in on-hand general equipment and supplies, partially offset by a reduction in the Company’s VidTac finished goods inventory.
Total inventory at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 included hardware consisting of computer laptops, printers and ancillary parts, such as electronic components, connectors, adapters and cables, as well as the Company’s proprietary VidTac product and its related components. The Company attempts to procure hardware as a result of receiving a customer order. Accordingly, the hardware is procured, delivered to the Company, prepared for installation and then transported by the Company to the customer site for installation. Beginning in 2016, the Company has begun to procure certain inventory items on a stock basis so the Company can quickly install the equipment for a new contract. Additionally, the various components of hardware are all considered finished goods because the individual items may be, and are, sold in a package, or on an individual basis, normally at the same pricing structure.
With respect to the Company’s VidTac product, a manufacturing agreement was executed in 2012 with a single contract manufacturer and calls for the Company to periodically place a demand purchase order for a fixed number of finished units to be manufactured and delivered as finished goods. The Company’s purchase orders placed with the contract manufacturer are non-cancellable; however, there are some relief provisions: (1) the Company may change the original requested delivery dates if the Company gives sufficient advance notice to the contract manufacturer; and (2) should the Company elect to cancel a purchase order in total or in part, it would be financially responsible for any materials that could not be returned by the contract manufacturer to its source suppliers.
When the VidTac product is recorded into finished goods, it consists of a kit consisting of four basic components. It is inventoried as a single unit of inventory. If a single component fails or needs to be replaced, the Company will replace with a new unit and inventory the components, which would still be considered finished goods. Should a component need to be repaired, it is returned to the contracted manufacturer for analysis and repair. The repaired component is then shipped to the Company and inventoried as a finished goods component.

NOTE 8 – PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS
The Company's prepaid expenses and other assets consisted of the following at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively:
Category | June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Prepaid Insurance | $ | 52,386 | $ | 69,456 | ||||
Subscriptions | 184,872 | 54,756 | ||||||
Vendor Prepayments | 211,309 | 34,389 | ||||||
Deferred Valuation Expense Related To Endorser Agreements | 148,500 | 353,802 | ||||||
Molds | 57,967 | - | ||||||
Deferred Charges | 31,546 | 31,546 | ||||||
Total Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets | $ | 686,580 | $ | 543,949 |
Prepaid insurance pertains to various business insurance policies, the fees of which have been financed by a third-party service provider and are being paid over an eleven-month period. This prepayment is amortized ratably over the twelve-month insurance coverage period.
Subscriptions principally pertain to prepaid software support and web-hosting services provided by third-party service providers. The balance can fluctuate period-over-period based upon the timing between payment and amortization activities. The prepayments are amortized into expense over the life of the specific service period.
Vendor prepayments principally consist of a personnel search firm and a consultant for advisory services. These prepayments will be charged to operating expenses in fiscal year 2016 as the services are performed and as production of VidTac commences.
Deferred valuation expense relates to an endorsement agreement the Company entered into in January 2016 with an endorser who agreed to assist the Company with its brand recognition and sales efforts for COPsync products in pre-designated geographical areas. The agreement requires six quarterly payments of $250,000 and the grant of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which was granted at signing and an additional 100,000 shares to be granted six months after signing. The non-cash value of the endorsement agreement totaled $206,000 and was determined by using the stock price on the date of the agreement. This amount is being amortized to non-cash consulting expense over the service period or six months.
Deferred charges pertain to off-the-shelf computer aided dispatch systems (“CAD”), purchased from an outside software services company and yet to-be delivered to one contracted customer. The Company expects to complete and deliver these services in fiscal year 2016, at which time these deferred charges will be matched against the applicable revenues.

NOTE 9 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company’s property and equipment at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was:
Classes of Depreciable Assets | June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Fleet Vehicles | $ | 337,718 | $ | 148,940 | ||||

Accumulated Depreciation | $ | (186,196 | ) | $ | (193,760 | ) | ||
Net Property and Equipment | $ | 383,159 | $ | 124,188 |
The increase of approximately $251,000 relates to the acquisition of ten vehicles and computer equipment and office furniture. Offsetting this increase was a loss of $2,396 resulting from the disposition of five vehicles. Depreciation expense for quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $26,637 and $13,280, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, $42,160 and $26,907, respectively.
NOTE 10 – CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
In the second quarter of 2016, the Company capitalized developmental software in accordance with ASC 730 – Research & Development and ASC 985 –Software.
Within that accounting guidance, companies may elect to capitalize certain portions of their R&D expenses relating to the development of new products or services. R&D expenses are capitalized as follows: 1) All R&D costs incurred in developing a new product or service must be expensed as incurred until “technological feasibility” has been achieved; that is, until R&D efforts substantiate the new product or service can, in fact, be made; 2) Upon achieving “technological feasibility”, the Company capitalizes all incurred costs until the product is ready for production and or for sale; 3) Once the product/service is ready for production or for sale, then all future costs, (maintenance & support) are expensed as incurred; and 4) The capitalized costs are then amortized over the future beneficial life cycle of the product/service.
All costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of a computer software product to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are research and development costs. Those costs are charged to expense when incurred as required by Subtopic 730-10.
The technological feasibility of a computer software product is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements.
Based upon the accounting guidance, the Company has concluded that at different points in time during the second quarter of 2016, three projects now meet the requirements for achieving “technological feasibility” per “ACS 985-25-2-a-1-3” and has elected to begin capitalizing the R&D expenses incurred for the time-period between that date of achieving “technological feasibility” and the anticipated date when the respective projects conclude with the product or service being ready for production or for sale.
COPsync, Inc.
Notes To Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The incurred costs for each of these projects are derived from both in-house and outside work efforts. The outside work efforts are represented by third-party programming service providers, one of which has been a long-time Company vendor. For purposes of this procedure and for the second quarter of 2016, the Company has elected to capture and capitalize the applicable costs paid to third-party service providers. The Company elected this treatment because it could not cost-effectively capture in-house costs during the second quarter of 2016. In the future, and if the Company is in a position to cost-effectively capture the related in-house expenses, the Company may capture these in-house costs as well.
Management believes a three-year period, representing the future beneficial life cycle of the product/service, is a reasonable period of time upon which to amortize the capitalized costs, commencing when the respective project arrives at a point where the product/service is ready for production/sale.

NOTE 14 – PREFERRED STOCK
Preferred Stock Series A
The Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock in April 2008 as partial consideration for its acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in PostInk Technology, LP (“PostInk”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock, but has voting rights on a basis of 15 votes per share, after adjusting for the Company’s reverse stock split in October 2015. These shares are held by the former general partner of PostInk, which is owned by the co-founders of the Company.
Upon the occurrence of certain events, each share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid non-assessable shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate for such share. The events that may trigger this automatic conversion event are as follows: 1) immediately prior to the closing of firm commitment initial public offering, or 2) upon the receipt of the Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred stock then outstanding, or if later, the effective date for conversion specified in such requests.
Series B Preferred Stock
During 2009 and 2010, the Company completed a private placement of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase its common stock in which the Company raised $1,500,000 in gross proceeds. As a result, the Company issued 375,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of its common stock.
For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, gross dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were $0 and $26,178, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, gross dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were $0 and $52,068.
Effective October 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Series B stockholders (the “Conversion Agreement”) whereby they agreed to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, exercise their warrants at an exercise price reduced from $10.00 per share to $6.25 per share in full for cash, terminate the Investors’ Rights Agreement and waive any rights they may have under such agreement. In return, the Company agreed to amend their warrants to reduce the exercise price from $10.00 per share to $6.25 per share, issue the Series B stockholders an additional aggregate 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, pay aggregate accrued dividends of up to approximately $680,000 in cash within 30 days of the Company’s listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market and grant the Series B stockholders certain board and board observer rights.

NOTE 17– BASIC AND FULLY DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period covered by the financial statements. Common stock equivalents that would arise from issuance of shares of common stock to be issued under subscriptions and other obligations of the Company, the exercise of stock options and warrants, conversion of convertible preferred stock and dividends on those shares of preferred stock or the conversion of convertible promissory notes were excluded from the loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their value is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 19 – EMPLOYEE OPTIONS
The Company provides a stock-based compensation plan, the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 2, 2009 and approved by stockholders on July 27, 2009. Under the Plan, the Company can grant nonqualified options to employees, officers, outside directors and consultants of the Company or incentive stock options to employees of the Company. At June 30, 2016, there were 400,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan, which was increased at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on July 28, 2016. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events, for further information. The outstanding options have a term of ten years and vest primarily over periods ranging from three to five years. As of June 30, 2016, options to purchase 292,100 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the plan, of which options to purchase 176,553 shares were exercisable.
Share-based compensation expense is based upon the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are reported when actual forfeiture occurs.
For the quarter ending June 30, 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of the stock options based on the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate | 1.85 | % | ||
Expected life | 10 years | |||
Expected volatility | 120 | % | ||
Dividend yield | 0.0 | % |

Litigation
The Company is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings.

The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these legal proceedings, and in the event there is an outcome in any that is adverse to it, the Company’s financial position and prospects could be harmed.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed below and in greater detail in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
· | We have incurred losses since our founding and could fail to obtain profitability; |
· | We may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all; |
· | The demand for and market acceptance of our services and products is subject to a high level of uncertainty due to law enforcement agencies’ reliance on traditional means of communication; |
· | We sell primarily to governmental entities, which can be highly competitive, expensive and time consuming; |
· | The possibility of undetected errors in our services; |
· | The possibility of a breach that disrupts our services; and |
· | The possibility of claims that our services infringe upon the intellectual property of third parties. |
Overview
COPsync, Inc. (“COPsync,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) operates what we believe to be the only real-time, law enforcement mobile data information system in the United States. We refer to this real-time, in-car information sharing, communication and data interoperability network as the “COPsync Network.” The COPsync Network, delivered via software as a service, is designed to solve the so-called “interoperability” problem that exists among the approximate 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies today. Put simply, these 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies operate in information “silos’ and are not able to readily share real-time mission critical information or communicate crimes in progress from one agency to the next. The COPsync Network is designed to:
· | Improve communication between and among law enforcement officers and agencies by allowing law enforcement officers to compile and share information, in real-time, via a common database accessible by all such officers on the COPsync Network, regardless of agency jurisdiction; |
· | Allow officers to query, in real time, various local, state and federal law enforcement databases, including (i) the FBI Criminal Justice Information Service (CJIS) database, (ii) the law enforcement telecommunications system databases for the States of Texas, Mississippi and Massachusetts, (iii) the historical databases of our agency subscribers who have provided us with such access, (iv) certain Department of Homeland Security’s El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) information relating to persons crossing the United States – Mexico border, and (v) our COPsync Network database which is populated with non-adjudicated law enforcement information created by our law enforcement officer subscribers. As we continue to expand the scope of our operations to states other than noted above, we anticipate that we will be granted access to the law enforcement telecommunications databases in those states as well, subject to approvals from the applicable governing state and municipal agencies and the “siloed” law enforcement databases of law enforcement records management system (“RMS”) vendors; |
· | Allow dispatchers and officers to send, in real-time, BOLO (be on the lookout) and other alerts of child kidnappings, robberies, car thefts, police pursuits, and other crimes in progress to all officers on the COPsync Network, regardless of agency jurisdiction; |
· | Allow officers to write citations, offense and crash reports and the like and electronically transmit, in real-time or near real-time, the information in those reports to the COPsync database and local court and agency databases; and |
· | Inform officers of outstanding Texas Class C misdemeanor warrants, in real-time, at the point of a traffic stop and allow the officers to issue a warning with respect to those warrants or, as a future enhancement, collect payment for those warrants using a credit card, through a specific feature enhancement to the COPsync Network often referred to as the WARRANTsync system. |
We also offer the COPsync911 threat alert service for use in schools, hospitals, day care facilities, government office buildings, energy infrastructure and other facilities with a high level of concern about security. When used in schools, the COPsync911 service enables school personnel to instantly and silently send emergency alerts directly to the closest law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles, and to the local 911 dispatch center. The alert is activated with the mere click of an icon, from any computer within the facility and/or from any cell phones and other mobile devices associated with the facility. A notification that an alert has been issued is also sent to the cell phones of all law enforcement officers in the area and to all teachers, administrators, and other staff at the school, alerting them of imminent danger. We expect our COPsync911 service to reduce emergency law enforcement response times in those circumstances when seconds and minutes count.
Once the alert is sent, a “crisis communication portal” is established among the person(s) sending the alert, the responding patrol vehicles and the local law enforcement 911 dispatch center. This allows the person(s) initiating the alert to silently communicate with responding officers and the 911 dispatch center about the nature of the threat, whether it is an active gunman, fire, suspicious person or other emergency. The crisis communication portal also provides a link to a diagram of the school or other facility and a map to its location.
We also augment our other services with our own law enforcement in-car video system, named VidTac and COURTsync, a court security and efficiency application.
Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require management's most subjective judgments.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We discuss our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Company began capitalizing its software development costs during the second quarter of 2016. See Note 10 – Capitalized Software for further information.

Total revenues are comprised of software license/subscriptions revenue and hardware, installation and other revenue. Software license/subscriptions revenue is a key indicator of revenue performance in future years, since this revenue represents that portion of our revenue that is anticipated to recur as our service contracts renew from year-to-year. Hardware, installation and other revenue is a one-time revenue event, and is not a key indicator of future performance. Software license/subscriptions for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $841,834 and $1,229,467, respectively, compared to $747,313 and $1,415,542, respectively, for comparable periods in 2015. The increase in software license/subscriptions revenue was due to an increase in the number of law enforcement agency contracts executed between periods, increased revenue attributable to contract renewals, and revenues attributable to our product, COPsync911. Hardware, installation and other revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $448,836 and $890,038, respectively, compared to $499,278 and $1,001,935, respectively, for comparable periods in 2015.
Some of our new contracts are multiple-year contracts that typically include hardware, installation and training (and integration in some cases) and software license/subscriptions revenue during the first year of the contract, followed by software license/subscriptions revenue during the remaining years of the contract. Normally, we receive full payment up front upon inception of the contract. This up-front payment is initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue ratably during the service period. As of June 30, 2016, we had $3,097,004 in deferred revenues, compared to $3,119,958 at December 31, 2015. We do not believe that the deferred revenues resulting from these payments will have a material effect on our future working capital for the later years of the contract service periods because a large portion of our continuing customer support costs are incrementally fixed in nature.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
The following is a summary of our cost of revenues and gross profit or loss for the two revenue types for the respective three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Total cost of revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, were $1,119,237 and $2,062,377, respectively, compared $688,197 and $1,445,231 for the respective comparable periods in 2015. As a result, we realized gross profits for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 of $171,433 and $510,389, respectively, compared to $558,394 and $972,246, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2015.
Cost of revenues for hardware, installation and other revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $764,844 and $1,341,315, respectively, compared to $366,703 and $820,045, respectively, for comparable periods in 2015. Included in the cost of these revenues are internal costs, which represent salaries and travel expenses for our in-house installation and training staff. The decrease in gross profit performance was due principally to slightly fewer hardware units installed during the quarter, price discounting and increased internal costs between periods. We believe some price discounting will continue through 2016 as we attempt to accelerate our growth in sales bookings, and ultimately increased overall revenues.
Cost of revenues for software license/subscription revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $354,393 and $721,062, respectively, compared to $321,494 and $625,186, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2015. These represent internal costs associated with our customer support team and web-hosting facilities in 2015. The resulting gross profit from software license/subscription revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $487,441 and $961,666, respectively, compared to $425,819 and $790,356, respectively, for comparable periods in 2015.
Our total cost of revenues has the potential to fluctuate with revenues because of the variable cost nature of hardware, installation and other revenues contained in future contracts.
Research and Development
Total research and development expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $517,754 and $902,860, respectively, compared to $459,547 and $945,167, respectively for the comparable periods in 2016. Total expenses increased during the three-month period due to increased headcount and utilization of third-party software service providers; however, the increase was partially offset by capitalization of certain software development expenses totaling approximately $224,000 during the period. Total research and development expenses for the six-month period decreased due to the capitalization of certain software development expenses described above.
We plan to continue our increased research and development spending in fiscal year 2016, unless it is necessary for us to reduce expenses to maintain adequate liquidity.
Sales and Marketing
Total sales and marketing expenses for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $1,511,004 and $2,769,408, respectively, compared to $450,822 and $815,189, respectively for the comparable periods in fiscal 2015. This increase in expenses was partially due to the Company entering into certain endorser agreements; the purpose of which was to assist in our planned sales growth. More specifically, the Company in November 2015 entered into certain agreements with a number of individuals or entities who the Company believes will enhance the Company’s brand recognition and assist its sales efforts in certain geographical areas, principally outside the State of Texas. The term of these agreements are twelve months. As compensation for their services, these persons were issued certain shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, certain of these persons will also receive cash retainers for their services.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses was also attributable to the addition of new sales personnel in eight states outside of the State of Texas who were hired during the second quarter of 2016 as the initial step in expanding our sales footprint. We anticipate this ramp-up period to take us through fiscal year 2016.
We expect our future quarterly sales and marketing expenses to continue at the expense level incurred in the second quarter of 2016.
General and Administrative
Total general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 were $1,190,715 and $2,104,975, respectively, compared to $589,214 and $1,004,418, respectively for the comparable periods in fiscal 2015. The increase in expenses between the respective periods is due to increased professional fees for general financial advisory, government relations, investor relations, legal, payroll, and travel expenses. Included in these expenses for fiscal year 2016 are non-cash expenses of approximately $99,000 and $378,000 for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, relating to the value of various stock and warrant grants awarded to 3rd party service providers during the respective periods.
We believe our general and administrative expenses for the remainder of 2016 will remain relatively consistent with expense levels in the second quarter of 2016.
Other Expense
Other expense, consisting of interest expense, totaled $35,930 and $47,210 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $170,177 and $238,910, respectively, for same periods in fiscal 2015. The decrease between periods of $134,247 and $191,700 are principally due to the conversion of debt to equity taking place in fiscal year 2015.
Net Loss Before Income Taxes
The net loss before income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 was $3,083,970 and $5,314,063, respectively, compared to $1,111,366 and $2,031,438, respectively, for the same periods in fiscal 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded our operations since inception through the sale of equity and debt securities and from cash generated by operating activities. As of June 30, 2016, we had $2,220,950 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $8,295,310 as of December 31, 2015. The $6,074,359 decrease in cash was due to net cash used by operating activities of $5,811,906, investing activities of $150,489 and financing activities of $111,965.
The net cash used by financing activities represents monthly payments on outstanding notes for automobile and business insurance loans and capitalized lease obligations.
We had a working capital of $141,465 on June 30, 2016, compared to $5,059,799 on December 31, 2015. However, on June 30, 2016, our current liabilities included $1,855,462 in net deferred revenues attributable to future performance obligations under prepaid customer contracts, the actual future costs of which, we believe will not represent a majority of this amount.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
At June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,220,950, working capital of $141,465 and an accumulated deficit of $35,273,363. The following factors are helping us manage our liquidity and enabling us to progress our business towards cash-flow break-even, and ultimately profitability:
(1) We recorded approximately $1,408,000 and $2,548,000 in sales bookings during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, compared to approximately $1,452,000 and $1,903,000 during the comparable periods in 2015. Of the total sales bookings for the first six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $1,358,000 remains unpaid. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we believe our total sales bookings plus proceeds from an equity raise will be sufficient to fund operations.
(2) On July 1, 2016, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form S-3 Registration Statement which registered the offer and sale of up to $25 million of securities which may be issued by us from time to time in indeterminate amounts and at indeterminate times.
(3) We consumed $5.8 million in cash during the first six months of 2016, including $1.2 million in cash used to pay down accounts payable. Our cash consumption is expected to decrease in the ensuing months as our sales bookings accelerate and cash from renewing customers continues to be collected.
(4) We believe that we have the capability to reduce operating expenses, should circumstances warrant.
(5) We will consider on a case-by-case basis additional credit facilities or equity or debt financings to leverage our recurring revenue streams and support additional growth.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have accumulated significant losses as we have been developing our service and product offerings. We have had recurring losses and expect to report losses for fiscal 2016. We believe our current available cash, along with anticipated revenues, and capital raise will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. There can be no assurance that the source of additional contracts will be achieved.
Not applicable.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2016, we conducted, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are 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.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. From time-to-time we anticipate we will be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. We could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these 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.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which outlines factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and the additional risk factor below. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions or operating results.
There may not be an active market for shares of our common stock, and we can provide no assurance that our common stock will continue to meet NASDAQ listing requirements, which may cause our shares to trade at a discount and may make it difficult for you to sell your shares.
Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “COYN.” However, no assurance can be given that an active trading market for our common stock will develop and continue. As a result, you may find it more difficult to purchase, dispose of and obtain accurate quotations as to the value of our common stock and warrants.
On May 20, 2016, we received a notice from The NASDAQ Capital Market that we did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(b), which requires a minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity, $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 net income from continuing operations. On July 19, 2016, The NASDAQ Capital Market granted us until November 16, 2016 to comply with Listing Rule 5550(b). In the event the Company is unable to demonstrate compliance by the deadline, The NASDAQ Capital Market will notify the Company and the Company will have the opportunity to appeal any subsequent listing determination by the Staff to The NASDAQ Capital Market Hearings Panel. In such an event, it is expected that our common stock would remain listed and trading pending the issuance of the Panel’s decision and the expiration of any further extension granted by the Panel.
If we are unable to continue to meet NASDAQ listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market. If our common stock were to be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock could continue to trade on the OTCQB or similar marketplace following any delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market. Any such delisting of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and less coverage of us by securities analysts, if any. Also, if in the future we were to determine that we need to seek additional equity capital, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital in the public or private equity markets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued a total of 526,072 shares of our common stock as described below:
(1) The Company issued 210,000 shares for services related to 11 agreements with individuals and entities who are assisting the Company in its national expansion efforts and sales within Texas.
(2) The Company issued 25,000 shares to a previous holder of Series B Stock whose Series B certificates we received.
(3) The Company issued 53,215 shares (5,000 shares at $8.50 per share and 48,215 shares at $3.50 per share) with respect to the conversion of promissory notes, and
(4) The Company issued 207,857 shares (100,000 at $2.06 per share, 42,857 shares at $2.09 per share and 65,000 shares at $1.88 per share) to six consultants for services.
The offers and sales of common stock for services described above were made without registration under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of 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 common stock and the Company had a pre-existing relationship with each person to whom common stock was sold. We disclosed to the purchasers that the shares of common stock could not be sold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available, and the certificates representing the shares include a legend to that effect.
The shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the promissory note were sold without registration in reliance of the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
