GUARDIAN 8 HOLDINGS
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Company Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Guardian 8 Corporation (“Guardian 8”) was incorporated in Nevada on June 8, 2009 as Guardian 6 Corporation. In August of 2009, the Company changed its name to Guardian 8 Corporation. The Company’s principle offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Effective November 30, 2010, we merged with Global Risk Management & Investigative Solutions (“Global Risk”), a public company with its common stock registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company merged into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Global Risk, with the Company being the surviving corporation. Post-merger, Global Risk changed its name to Guardian 8 Holdings.
Basis of presentation
These interim financial statements are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2014 annual statements included in the form 10-K filed on March 31, 2015.
Principles of consolidation
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company was consolidated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian 8 Corporation. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances in non-interest bearing accounts and money-market accounts. The Company places its temporary cash investments with quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were cash equivalents of $163,670 and $491,988 respectively.
Inventory
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company accepted the delivery of 1,396 units of its ProV2 from its contract manufacturer. These deliveries were part of the Company’s initial purchase orders totaling 11,800 units. The terms for the purchase of the product require 50% prepayment at the time of order, and the remaining 50% is paid prior to shipment to the United States. In addition to the prepayment terms, the supplier also provides the Company with a 2% overallotment of units to replace any fallout during incoming receiving inspection. The Company recognized the total number of units received and in stock at the end of the period, and allows for a 2% scrap allowance to offset any potential losses incurred. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has paid for and received all deliveries associated with initial purchase orders and has reserved $59,510 to offset any units scrapped during inspection of units not yet performed as of this date. No additional purchase orders are pending. As of June 30, 2015 there are approximately 10,600 units in stock. We believe this inventory will be adequate to fulfill orders for the next twelve months. Inventories are priced at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventories include the cost of inbound shipping, duty and receiving inspection. Inventory obsolescence is examined on a regular basis. Currently there is no inventory considered obsolete.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are customers outstanding balances carried on a gross basis less allowance for doubtful accounts. Management estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of our customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. We review these policies on a quarterly basis and based on these reviews, we believe we maintain adequate reserves. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $478 and $4,978, respectively. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC subtopic 605-10, “Revenue Recognition”. The company recognizes revenue from sales of product upon delivery to its customers where the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Cash payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $95,308 and $19,012, respectively.
Warranty
The Company offers a 90-day limited warranty on its core product with an opportunity to upgrade to a one year limited warranty (for a fee) on the device. These fees are intended to cover the handling and repair costs and include a profit. One year extended warranties that provide additional coverage beyond the limited warranty are offered for specified fees. Revenue derived from the sale of extended warranties are deferred and amortized over the duration of the warranty period. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $11,481 and $4,513 as deferred revenue, respectively. Extended warranty expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3,483 and $955, respectively.
Research and development costs
The Company expenses all costs of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses included in general and administrative expenses totaled $94,353 and $107,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Adjustments include appropriate estimates for arrangements normally determined or settled at year-end. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of respective assets are expensed.
The Company depreciates its property and equipment for the financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives of the assets:
Equipment | 2-5 years |
Tooling | 10 years |
Leasehold improvements | Life of lease |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debentures payable and related accrued interest, and derivative liability. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand. See Note 13 for further details.
Impairment of long-lived assets
ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future new cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. The Company did not have any impaired assets as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Net loss per share
Net Loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260-10, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the denominator in the diluted earnings per share computation is the same as the denominator for basic earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the warrants on the Company’s net loss. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of June 30, 2015 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 23,485,923 from warrants and debt totaling $7,182,500 that is convertible into 95,766,667 common shares.
Income taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. See Note 14 for further details.

At June 30, 2015, the Company recognized a derivative liability and a correlating charge to operations in the amount of $3,032,501 pursuant to ASC Topic 815-25-19 “Contracts in Entity's Own Equity” as the total number of Company’s committed common shares and the number of actual common shares outstanding at June 30, 2015 exceeded the number of common shares the Company currently is authorized to issue. The liability was computed based upon the fair value of the committed and outstanding shares. The committed shares consisted of $7,182,500 of debt convertible into 46,803,566 shares of common stock and 23,485,923 common stock warrants. In the valuation, the Company used the trading price of its common stock at June 30, 2015 of $0.11 per share.
Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets that are required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. The Company had no level three assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2015 or 2014; therefore, a reconciliation of the changes during the year is not shown.
The following table presents a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |||||||||||||
Convertible senior secured debentures | - | $ | 4,341,863 | - | $ | 4,341,863 |

Note 15 – Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company’s operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 resulted in losses, thus no income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards that may be used to reduce future income taxes payable. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to this deferred asset. The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets. Open tax years include 2011 through 2014.
For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss since inception to June 30, 2015. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2015. Further, management does not believe it has taken the position in the deductibility of its expenses that creates a more likely than not potential for future liability under the guidance of FIN 48.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We were incorporated in Nevada on June 8, 2009 as Guardian 6 Corporation. In August of 2009, we changed our name to Guardian 8 Corporation and effective November 30, 2010 we merged with Global Risk Management & Investigative Solutions (“Global Risk”), a public company, with its common stock registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Post-merger, Global Risk changed its name to Guardian 8 Holdings.
Our principle offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona. We were a development stage company from our inception through June 30, 2013, engaged in the design and introduction of a new category of personal security devices, Enhanced Non-Lethal Devices (ENL). Our product, the Pro V2 incorporates a layered defensive approach to help security professionals and consumers protect themselves against personal attacks, while capturing critical images and audio recordings to defend against personal liability.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company was consolidated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian 8 Corporation. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Beginning July 1, 2013 as product revenues became sustainable, the Company transitioned from reporting as a development stage entity to an operating entity. As a result, the financial statements included in this filing have been presented accordingly.
Since inception, our team of engineers and executives has been focused on developing and patenting our first commercial product, (the Guardian 8 Pro V2) as well as the key functions that create market differentiation. We have also been formalizing marketing and manufacturing strategies as well as building customer distribution channels in preparation for our product launch into the Private Security Market.
During 2014, the Company expanded its sales team to include regional representatives, as well as non-employee sales and training consultants. These individuals were trained and worked to develop relationships with the potential leads identified in the Company’s database.
The Company initiated development efforts on the new consumer product, which is targeted for release in 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company expensed $314,000 for these development efforts. Engineering on the new consumer product has been suspended as of March 31, 2015.
During the second quarter of 2015, at the request of several potential distributors and investors, our engineering team created a modified version of our ProV2 for consumer use. This new consumer version was introduced July 1, 2015 and is currently being sold under a pilot program, as a “Limited Edition” ProV2.
We are currently using electronic sales lead generation software to target potential customers and evaluate their interest level. We can then target our follow up sales efforts to highly interested companies. Our focused marketing efforts in the hospital vertical have led to high brand recognition and heightened interest. In addition, we have been accepted by several security service companies as an intermediate non-lethal option in their quotes for their existing and new customers.
Due to recent events we shifted our sales efforts, and downsized our Company to accommodate the change in sales strategy from an internal sales force approach to sales through national distribution partners. The Company is working to develop a new network of distributors and has announced retail price increases to provide distributor margins while preserving existing gross margins.
In the second quarter of 2014, the Company borrowed $7,000,000 in the form of senior secured convertible debentures, which mature in November of 2015. The debentures require interest payments on March 1, and June 1, 2015. The Company recorded interest under this debt totaling $552,243 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. As is provided under the debentures, this interest can be paid with shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash. As a result, 3,381,060 shares of common stock were authorized, of which 3,088,727 were issued and 292,333 were owed as of June 30,2015.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified several accounting principles that we believe are key to the understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Share
We adopted ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to locate sources of capital, repay our existing debt instruments, and attain future profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Revenue Recognition
It is the Company’s policy that revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 605-10, “Revenue Recognition”. The company therefore recognizes revenue from sales of product upon delivery to its customers where the amount is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Cash payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. Extended warranties are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized according to the number of months included in service. The Company recognized $95,308 and $19,012 in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debentures payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Principles of consolidation
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company was consolidated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian 8 Corporation. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances in non-interest bearing accounts and money-market accounts. The Company places its temporary cash investments with quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company accepted the delivery of 1,396 units of its ProV2 from its contract manufacturer. These deliveries were part of the Company’s initial purchase orders totaling 11,800 units. The terms for the purchase of the product require 50% prepayment at the time of order, and the remaining 50% is paid prior to shipment to the United States. In addition, our purchase agreement also requires our supplier to provide a 2% over allotment of product shipped to replace any units that might fall out during incoming receiving inspection at our facility in Scottsdale. At the time of receipt, we record the full value of all units received, and record a scrap allowance equivalent to the 2% overallotment provided. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has paid for and received all deliveries associated with initial purchase orders, and has recorded a scrap reserve against the inventory balance of $59,510. No additional purchase orders are pending and there are approximately 10,600 units in stock. We believe this inventory will be adequate to fulfill orders for the next twelve months.
Inventory is priced at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventories include the cost of inbound shipping, duty and receiving inspection. Inventory obsolescence is examined on a regular basis. Currently there is no inventory considered obsolete.
Research and development costs
The Company expenses all costs of research and development as incurred. There are research and development costs included in other general and administrative expenses of $94,353 and $107,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company intends to continue investing in the development of future products, including engineering the current Pro V2 device for use in the consumer market and a potential consumer only product in the future.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of respective assets are expensed.
The Company depreciates its property and equipment for the financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives of the assets:
Tooling | 10 years |
Equipment | 2-5 years |
Leasehold improvements | Life of lease |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Recent Developments

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had revenues of $95,308 and $19,012, respectively. This is an increase of $76,296. Cost of sales increased $40,130 from $14,104 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $54,234 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Gross Profit increased $36,166 from $4,908 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $41,074 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Gross Profit as a percent of sales increased from 26% in the first half of 2014 to 43% in the first half of 2015. Sales increased due to the addition of new customers and follow on orders from existing customers. Gross Profits increased due to efficiencies in fulfillment services and a price increase to accommodate distributor margins.
Operating expenses totaled $1,940,250 and $1,832,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $108,203. Included in operating expenses are research and development costs of $94,353 and $107,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. During 2015, payroll increased $113,528 as a result of additional head count in the first half of the year, and marketing increased $153,916. Both of these expenditures were offset by a reduction in consultant fees of $338,032. The Company also incurred increases in investor relations of $35,077, travel of $34,795 and other expenses of $61,814. Also included in the increases for 2015, was the accrual of $60,000 in director fees.
Interest expense increased $823,868 to $1,465,245 in the first half of 2015. The increase is due to interest payable to debenture holders, amortization of the discount on the debentures and amortization of prepaid loan costs.
The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $6,118,145 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. This was the result of revaluation of the debentures caused by the change in the stated terms. Specifically, the debentures were modified to reflect a reduction in conversion rates, a reduced strike price on warrants, and an eight-month extension of the original maturity date. Also recorded with the revaluation was a non-recurring loss of $3,032,501. This loss was offset by a derivative liability to account for the lack of authorized shares required to convert the increased common share and warrant count.
We anticipate continued losses from operations until such time as we generate sufficient revenues through the sale of our device to cover both our cost of manufacturing, and sales, general and administrative expenditures.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had revenues of $47,427 and $13,967, respectively. This is an increase of $33,460. Cost of sales increased $14,578 from $10,225 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $24,803 during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Sales increased due to the addition of new customers and follow on orders from existing customers. Gross Profits increased due to efficiencies in fulfillment services and a price increase to accommodate distributor margins.
Operating expenses totaled $772,602 and $874,920 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $102,858. Included in operating expenses are research and development costs of $41,757 and $78,459 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. During 2015, marketing increased $193,079 which was offset by a reduction in consultant fees of $187,188 and payroll of $25,628. All other operating expense categories netted a reduction of $46,419 from the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Interest expense increased $477,915 to $870,568 in the second quarter of 2015. The increase is due to interest payable to debenture holders, amortization of the discount on the debentures and amortization of prepaid loan costs.

We anticipate continued losses from operations until such time as we generate sufficient revenues through the sale of our device to cover both our cost of manufacturing, and sales, general and administrative expenditures.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2015, our cash balance was $163,670. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through the continued expansion of sales and operating functions, funds from additional offerings of our common stock, sales of additional convertible debentures or other debt instruments, third party financings and revenue generated through the sales of our products and training services. Although we may not generate sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements during the next twelve months, we believe we will be able to raise alternate sources of additional capital to fund operations.
As we continue to expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of revenues from our product sales, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings, giving consideration to loans and working diligently to move sales ahead to the extent necessary to provide working capital.
We anticipate incurring operating losses over the next twelve months as we continue to grow our distribution channels. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As a result of our ongoing need for cash, we have begun to explore merger and acquisition discussions with private and public companies with a desire to enter into the ENL industry. At the time of this Report, we have not entered into any agreements for such a transaction and there can be no assurances we will entire into such an agreement in the future.
As a result of our cash requirements and our lack of significant revenues, we anticipate continuing to issue common stock in exchange for loans and/or equity financing, which will have a substantial dilutive impact on our existing stockholders.
Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.
We expense all costs of research and development as incurred. There are research and development costs included in other general and administrative expenses of $94,353 and $107,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In order to complete the development of a consumer version of our existing product, we anticipate expending up to $500,000 in the coming year. This will be contingent upon our ability to raise capital and generate sufficient market support for the product.
In addition to investments in research and development expenditures, we have also retained the services of a patent attorney to assist us with the filing and protection of key utility applications, as well as future technologies to be incorporated in next generation products for the commercial security and consumer markets. Costs associated with the filing of intellectual property have been capitalized and will be amortized over the 20-year life of the original patents.
Changes in the number of employees.
As of June 30, 2015 we had nine full-time employees, C. Stephen Cochennet, Chief Executive Officer, Will Grove, Vice President of Finance, Gary Kuty, Vice President of Sales, Jose Rojas, Vice President of Customer Support, our lead manufacturing engineer, a master trainer, a sales and customer service representative, a direct sales person, and one administrative support person for Guardian 8 Corporation. Our Chief Operating Officer, resigned effective as of May 1, 2015. We utilize the services of several contract personnel, engineers and other professionals on an as needed basis. We are managed by C. Stephen Cochennet with the assistance of our board of directors. We look to Mr. Cochennet and our directors for entrepreneurial, organizational and management skills. We plan to continue to use consultants, legal and patent attorneys, design and mechanical engineers, and accountants as necessary. We may hire sales and operations employees in 2015 to facilitate go-to-market activities. A portion of any employee compensation likely would include direct stock grants, or the right to acquire common stock in the Company, which would dilute the ownership interest of holders of existing shares of our common stock.
On April 15, 2015, as part of a downsizing to control operating expenditures, conserve working capital, and redirect our sales efforts, we reduced our headcount by nine employees. We have retained several of these resources on a contracted basis to drive revenue with existing sales leads and pending transactions. We have also made agreements with key employees to defer or receive stock in lieu of cash payments until sufficient capital is raised to once again support their salaries. At such time as the Company can provide compensation to these individuals, we will retain their full time support.
We have entered into multiple year employment agreements with our executives, which require us to pay significant salaries to such individuals and contain default provisions, which are material to our operations. In April of 2015 we failed to timely meet our payroll obligations to our employees, which was cured in early May of 2015; however, we continue to need additional working capital to sustain our operations and any future failure to pay our employees or comply with the terms of the employment agreements may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.
We anticipate no substantial investment in plant of equipment during the remainder of 2015.

Changes in cash flows are summarized as follows:
We had a net loss of $12,515,067 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This loss was offset by non-cash items such as stock issued for services of $134,400, stock issued as debenture interest payments of $552,242, and depreciation and amortization of $44,400. Additional non-cash items include the revaluation of debenture discounts and warrants of $5,566,022, amortization of discounts on convertible debentures of $1,474,566 and the change in derivative liability of $3,032,501. We had cash provided due to the decrease in accounts receivable of $96, prepaid loan costs of $192,166, prepaid expenses of $5,424, and inventory of $80,128. We also had cash provided due to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $186,149, and in deferred revenue of $6,968. We had cash used by the decrease in accrued interest of $272,241. Total cash used by operating activities was $1,512,245 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Our investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were primarily the purchase of computer equipment in the amount of $18,223.
We had cash provided by financing activities of $1,202,150 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This included proceeds from the sales of units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant. 7,312,001 shares were issued for cash proceeds totaling $548,400. We also received $28,750 from the exercise of warrants. In addition, we received $625,000 from the sales of debentures on June 2, 2015.
We had a net loss of $2,467,779 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This loss was offset by non-cash items such as stock issued for services of $409,010, stock issued for compensation of $76,500, depreciation and amortization of $43,143, and the amortization of discount on notes payable and debentures of $249,257. We had cash used by the increase in accounts receivable of $3,499, other receivables of $7,000, prepaid loan costs of $436,559, deposits on inventory of $149,016, increased physical inventory of $834,915, increase in rent and utility deposits of $13,330 associated with our office relocation, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $41,460, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $619. We had cash provided due to the decrease in prepaid expenses of $84,229 and increase in accrued interest of $7,705. Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3,084,333.
We had cash used by investing activities of $50,938 for the purchase of property and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
We had cash provided by financing activities of $5,876,067 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This included proceeds from notes payable to related parties of $475,000 proceeds from notes payable to unrelated parties of $25,000, proceeds from a line of credit with a bank of $900,000, and proceeds from the issuance of convertible senior secured debentures of $7,000,000. These were offset by a repayment of notes payable to related parties of $1,498,933, repayment of notes payable to unrelated parties of $125,000, and the repayment of a line of credit with a bank of $900,000.
As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of revenues from product sales. We anticipate obtaining financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and obtain additional financing through either convertible or non-convertible notes payable as necessary to augment our working capital. We are also evaluating additional sources of inventory financing that may be available once orders for our product are received.
We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop and upgrade our product, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, C. Stephen Cochennet and Kathleen Hanrahan, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the evaluation, Mr. Cochennet and Ms. Hanrahan concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

We may become involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to our business. However, to our knowledge as of the date of this report, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our significant business risks are described in Item 1A to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 to which reference is made herein.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 31, 2015, 105,000 shares of common stock vested pursuant to the terms of the agreement with our Interim CFO (Kathleen Hanrahan). These shares were valued at $42,000 and were issued in April 2015. On June 30, 2015 an additional 105,000 vested. These shares were valued at $11,550 and as of the date of this report have not been issued.
During the first quarter of 2015, we authorized 251,182 shares of common stock and issued 220,826 shares of common stock in payment of interest on debentures due March 1, 2015. In June we issued an additional 5,041 shares and 25,315 shares remain unissued as of June 30, 2015.
On June 1, 2015, we authorized 3,125,499 additional shares for payment of interest to debenture holders for interest through June 1, 2015. 2,858,481 shares were issued on June 1, 2015 and 267,018 shares are owed as of June 30, 2015. The 3,125,499 shares were valued at $426,005.
On June 2, 2015, concurrent with the First Closing pursuant to the sale of additional Senior Secured Debentures, we issued 625,000 Class C warrants to purchase shares of common stock for five years at $0.10 per share to nine accredited investors. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon additional buyers purchasing up to an additional $4,375,000 on or before September 30, 2015, we will issue an additional 4,375,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Further, upon conversion or maturity of the Debentures, the number of Class C warrants held by each Buyer shall automatically double. Merriman Capital, Inc. and Freedom Investors Corp. acted as placement agents in connection with the sale of the Debentures, in consideration for which (i) Merriman received a cash commission of $49,200, fees and expenses of $6,955, accrued investment banking and research fees of $35,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 18,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.075 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrant”), and (ii) Freedom received a cash commission of $800 and a Placement Agent Warrant for 400 shares.
On June 2, 2015, we revalued $548,400 in units sold in a prior private placement in the first quarter of 2015 to $0.075 per unit. The revaluation resulted in the additional issuance of 6,215,201 shares of common stock and reduction in the Class C warrant exercise price to $0.10 per share.
As a result of the revaluation, we were required to adjust the exercise price on all of its currently outstanding Class A and B warrants (11,357,500 warrants in the aggregate) down to $0.075. In addition, in connection with the Debenture Amendment, all of the previously outstanding Class C warrants (7,175,000 warrants in the aggregate) were adjusted down to $0.10 per share.
On June 8, 2015, in connection with the conversion of a $100,000 debenture to 1,333,334 shares common stock, we authorized the issuance of 965 restricted shares of common stock for interest associated with the principal amount of the debenture being converted. As a result of the conversion, the holders currently issued warrants automatically increased by an additional 100,000 warrants.
On June 22, 2015, in connection with the conversion of a $130,000 debenture to 1,733,333 shares common stock, we authorized the issuance of 3,414 restricted shares of common stock for interest associated with the principal amount of the debenture being converted. As a result of the conversion, the holders currently issued warrants automatically increased by an additional 130,000 warrants.
On June 26, 2015, a debenture holder converted $37,500 in principal amount of its debenture to 500,000 shares common stock. As a result of the conversion, the holders currently issued warrants automatically increased by an additional 37,500 warrants.
Subsequent Issuances After Quarter-End
On July 29, 2015, we approved a stock incentive plan authorizing the issuance of up to 6,750,000 shares of common stock under the plan and granted restricted stock awards to seven of our employees for a total of 4,022,613 shares. These shares will vest and be issued on January 1, 2016 assuming each of the employees remained employed by us through such date. A copy of the Stock Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.61.
On July 29, 2015, we authorized the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants for $6,250 in cash received in January of 2015. As of the date of this report the shares have not been issued.
On July 31, 2015, we conducted the Second Closing pursuant to the sale of additional Senior Secured Debentures for $50,000 and issued 50,000 Class C warrants to purchase shares of common stock for five years at $0.10 per share to one accredited investor, which is a related party of our CEO/President, C. Stephen Cochennet.
All of the above-described issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. With respect to each transaction listed above, no general solicitation was made by either the Company or any person acting on its behalf. All such securities issued pursuant to such exemptions are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act, appropriate legends have been placed on the documents evidencing the securities, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
We are required to make significant quarterly interest payments under the terms of our outstanding senior secured convertible debentures commencing on March 1, 2015 through maturity of the debentures. Any failure to timely pay interest when due under the debentures is considered a default under the terms of the debenture agreements. We believe we have reached amicable solutions for the payment of interest with all of the debenture holders and that we are not in default of the debenture agreements.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
None.
Item 5. Other Information.
Press Releases
On June 16, 2015, we issued a press release disclosing that we have partnered with several school districts around the country to deploy the ProV2 as part of a pilot program aimed at reducing incidents of violence in schools between students and other students, students and teachers, and students and staff. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.16.
On July 7, 2015, we issued a press release disclosing that the Pro V2 was endorsed by Universal Protection Service and included in its use of force policy for its customers as an alternative to exclusively armed or unarmed security contracts. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.17.
Second Amendment to Outstanding Debentures
Effective August 11, 2015, we entered into the Second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 3, 2015 (the “Second Amendment”) with a majority of the debenture holders holding $7,182,842.42 in principal amount of debentures pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, and related transaction documents, dated May 27, 2014, as amended (the “Debenture Agreements”). Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the Debenture Agreements were amended to (i) raise up to $1,000,000 in unsecured debt, in addition to continuing to seek investors to purchase additional Debentures, and (ii) extend the time for us to offer Debentures through September 30, 2015. A copy of the Second Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.62.
