PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should read carefully the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and notes thereto, before making an investment decision.

BIO-Key International, Inc.

We were founded in 1993 as a fingerprint biometric technology company. Biometric technology is the science of analyzing specific human characteristics which are unique to each individual in order to identify a specific person from a broader population.

We develop and market advanced fingerprint biometric identification and identity verification technologies, cryptographic authentication-transaction security technologies, as well as related Identity Management and Credentialing software solutions. We were pioneers in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit card, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Advanced BIO-key® technology has been and is used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics.

In partnerships with OEMs, integrators, and solution providers, we provide biometric software solutions to private and public sector customers. We provide the ability to positively identify and authenticate individuals before granting access to valuable corporate resources, web portals or applications in seconds. Powered by our patented Vector Segment Technology™, or VST™, WEB-key® and BSP development kits are fingerprint biometric solutions that provide true interoperability with all major reader manufacturers, enabling application developers and integrators to seamlessly integrate fingerprint biometrics into their virtual applications.

We continue to research and develop advancements in our capabilities, as well as exploring and developing potential strategic relationships, including potential business combinations and acquisitions, which could help us leverage our capability to deliver our solutions. We have built a direct sales force of professionals, and also team with resellers, integrators and partner networks with substantial experience in selling technology solutions to government and corporate customers.

Our principal executive offices are located at 3349 Highway 138, Building A, Suite E, Wall, NJ 07719, and our telephone number is (732) 359-1100. We maintain a website at www.bio-key.com. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus.

The Offering

This prospectus covers the public sale of 48,064,982 shares of common stock to be sold by the selling security holders identified in this prospectus, which consist of 19,917,639 shares of common stock and 28,147,343 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants. We originally issued (i) 24,647,337 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 24,647,337 shares of common stock in private offerings which closed in October 2013 and November 2013 for gross cash consideration of $3,697,099.95, (ii) 412,067 shares of common stock pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights held by certain investors in our July 2013 private offering, (iii) 3,500,006 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 3,500,006 shares of common stock in July 2013 for gross cash consideration of $1,050,000, and (iv) 9,026,935 shares of common stock in February 2013 for gross cash consideration of $902,963 . Certain of the shares issued in the foregoing offerings have since been sold by the purchasers thereof. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling security holders. We will, however, receive proceeds from any exercise of the warrants held by the selling security holders. If such warrants are exercised in full, we would receive gross cash proceeds of $7,036,835.75. Any such proceeds are currently expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. No assurances can be given that any of the warrants will be exercised.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to other information in this prospectus before purchasing our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently deem to be material and that we believe are specific to our company, our industry and our stock. In addition to these risks, our business may be subject to risks currently unknown to us. If any of these or other risks actually occurs, our business may be adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Business and Financial Risks

Based on our lack of significant revenue and recurring losses from operations since inception, our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to, among other factors, our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion for the year ended December 31, 2013 as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate that we will continue to operate as a going concern. Our financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Since our formation, we have historically generated minimal revenue and have sustained substantial operating losses which may continue.

As of June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $56,196,072. . In order to increase revenue, we have developed a direct sales force and anticipate the need to retain additional sales, marketing and technical support personnel and may need to incur substantial expenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure these necessary resources, that a significant market for our technologies will develop, or that we will be able to achieve our targeted revenue. If we are unable to achieve revenue or raise capital sufficient to cover our ongoing operating expenses, we will be required to scale back operations, including marketing and research initiatives, or in the extreme case, discontinue operations.

Our biometric technology has yet to gain widespread market acceptance and we do not know whether a significant market will develop for our technology.

Biometric technology has received only limited market acceptance, particularly in the private sector. Our technology represents a novel security solution and we have not yet generated significant sales. Although recent security concerns relating to identification of individuals and appearance of biometric readers on popular consumer products, including the Apple iPhone 5S®, have increased interest in biometrics generally, it remains an undeveloped, evolving market. Biometric based solutions compete with more traditional security methods including keys, cards, personal identification numbers and security personnel. Acceptance of biometrics as an alternative to such traditional methods depends upon a number of factors including:

●

national or international events which may affect the need for or interest in biometric solutions;

●

the performance and reliability of biometric solutions;

●

marketing efforts and publicity regarding these solutions;

●

public perception regarding privacy concerns;

●

costs involved in adopting and integrating biometric solutions;

●

proposed or enacted legislation related to privacy of information; and

●

competition from non-biometric technologies that provide more affordable, but less robust, authentication (such as tokens and smart cards).

For these reasons, we are uncertain whether our biometric technology will gain widespread acceptance in any commercial markets or that demand will be sufficient to create a market large enough to produce significant revenue or earnings. Our future success depends, in part, upon business customers adopting biometrics generally, and our solution specifically.

Biometric technology is a new approach to Internet security which must be accepted in order for our WEB-key ® solution to generate significant revenue.

Our WEB-key ® authentication initiative represents a new approach to Internet security which has been adopted on a limited basis by companies which distribute goods, content or software applications over the Internet. The implementation of our WEB-key ® solution requires the distribution and use of a finger scanning device and integration of database and server side software. Although we believe our solutions provide a higher level of security for information transmitted over the Internet than existing traditional methods, unless business and consumer markets embrace the use of a scanning device and believe the benefits of increased accuracy outweigh implementation costs, our solution will not gain market acceptance.

The market for our solutions is still developing and if the biometrics industry adopts standards or a platform different from our standards or platform, then our competitive position would be negatively affected.

The market for identity solutions is still developing. The evolution of this market may result in the development of different technologies and industry standards that are not compatible with our current solutions, products or technologies.

Several organizations set standards for biometrics to be used in identification and documentation. Although we believe that our biometric technologies comply with existing standards, these standards may change and any standards adopted could prove disadvantageous to or incompatible with the our business model and current or future solutions, products and services.

Our software products may contain defects which will make it more difficult for us to establish and maintain customers.

Although we have completed the development of our core biometric technology, it has only been used by a limited number of business customers. Despite extensive testing during development, our software may contain undetected design faults and software errors, or “bugs” that are discovered only after it has been installed and used by a greater number of customers. Any such defect or error in new or existing software or applications could cause delays in delivering our technology or require design modifications. These could adversely affect our competitive position and cause us to lose potential customers or opportunities. Since our technologies are intended to be utilized to secure physical and electronic access, the effect of any such bugs or delays will likely have a detrimental impact on us. In addition, given that biometric technology generally, and our biometric technology specifically, has yet to gain widespread acceptance in the market, any delays would likely have a more detrimental impact on our business than if we were a more established company.

While we have commenced a significant sales and marketing effort, we have only begun to develop a significant distribution channel and may not have the resources or ability to sustain these efforts or generate any meaningful sales.

In order to generate revenue from our biometric products, we are dependent upon independent original equipment manufacturers, system integrators and application developers, which we do not control. As a result, it may be more difficult to generate sales.

We market our technology through licensing arrangements with:

●

Original equipment manufacturers, system integrators and application developers which develop and market products and applications which can then be sold to end users; and

●

Companies which distribute goods, services or software applications over the Internet.

As a technology licensing company, our success will depend upon the ability of these manufacturers and developers to effectively integrate our technology into products and services which they market and sell. We have no control over these licensees and cannot assure you that they have the financial, marketing or technical resources to successfully develop and distribute products or applications acceptable to end users or generate any meaningful revenue for us. These third parties may also offer the products of our competitors to end users.

We face intense competition and may not have the financial and human resources necessary to keep up with rapid technological changes, which may result in our technology becoming obsolete.

The Internet, facility access control and information security markets are subject to rapid technological change and intense competition. We compete with both established biometric companies and a significant number of startup enterprises as well as providers of more traditional methods of access control. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may independently develop superior technologies, which may result in our technology becoming less competitive or obsolete. We may not be able to keep pace with this change. If we are unable to develop new applications or enhance our existing technology in a timely manner in response to technological changes, we will be unable to compete in our chosen markets. In addition, if one or more other biometric technologies such as voice, face, iris, hand geometry or blood vessel recognition are widely adopted, it would significantly reduce the potential market for our fingerprint identification technology.

We depend on key employees and members of our management team, including our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, in order to achieve our goals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain or attract such persons.

Our employment contracts with Michael W. DePasquale, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Mira LaCous, our Chief Technology Officer, expire in each year, and renew automatically for successive one year periods unless notice of non-renewal is provided by the Company. Although the contracts do not prevent them from resigning, they do contain confidentiality and non-compete clauses which are intended to prevent them from working for a competitor within one year after leaving our Company. Our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain employees with expertise in developing, marketing and selling software solutions. In order to successfully market our technology, we will need to retain additional engineering, technical support and marketing personnel. The market for such persons remains highly competitive and our limited financial resources will make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified persons.

We cannot assure you that the intellectual property protection for our core technology provides a sustainable competitive advantage or barrier to entry against our competitors.

Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon proprietary rights to our technology. We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets and technical measures to protect our propriety rights. We have filed a patent application relating to both the optic technology and biometrics solution components of our technology wherein several claims have been allowed. Over the last few years, the U.S. Patent Office has issued us a series of patents for our Vector Segment fingerprint technology (VST), and our other core biometric analysis and identification technologies. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property from misappropriation in the U.S. and abroad. Any patent issued to us could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Furthermore, patent applications that we file may not result in issuance of a patent or, if a patent is issued, the patent may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition, it is difficult to monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis in a cost-effective manner. In jurisdictions where foreign laws provide less intellectual property protection than afforded in the U.S. and abroad, our technology or other intellectual property may be compromised, and our business would be materially adversely affected. If any of our proprietary rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patent or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.

We may be subject to claims with respect to the infringement of intellectual property rights of others, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our financial and management resources.

Third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights. We may violate the rights of others without our knowledge. We may expose ourselves to additional liability if we agree to indemnify our customers against third party infringement claims. While we know of no basis for any claims of this type, the existence of and ownership of intellectual property can be difficult to verify and we have not made an exhaustive search of all patent filings. Additionally, most patent applications are kept confidential for twelve to eighteen months, or longer, and we would not be aware of potentially conflicting claims that they make. We may become subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternative technology or obtain other licenses. In addition, we may incur substantial expenses in defending against these third party infringement claims and be diverted from devoting time to our business and operational issues, regardless of the merits of any such claim.

In addition, in the event that we recruit employees from other technology companies, including certain potential competitors, and these employees are used in the development of portions of products which are similar to the development in which they were involved at their former employers, we may become subject to claims that such employees have improperly used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information. If any such claims were to arise in the future, litigation or other dispute resolution procedures might be necessary to retain our ability to offer our current and future services, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our financial and management resources. Successful infringement or licensing claims against us may result in substantial monetary damages, which may materially disrupt the conduct of our business and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if intellectual property claims brought against us are without merit, they could result in costly and time consuming litigation, and may divert our management and key personnel from operating our business.

If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis, we may not be successful in the international expansion of our business.

Access to worldwide markets depends in part on the strength of our intellectual property portfolio. There can be no assurance that, as our business expands into new areas, we will be able to independently develop the technology, software or know-how necessary to conduct our business or that we can do so without infringing the intellectual property rights of others. To the extent that we have to rely on licensed technology from others, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses at all or on terms we consider reasonable. The lack of a necessary license could expose us to claims for damages and/or injunction from third parties, as well as claims for indemnification by our customers in instances where we have a contractual or other legal obligation to indemnify them against damages resulting from infringement claims. With regard to our own intellectual property, we actively enforce and protect our rights. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation or improper use of our protected technology in international markets.

We face inherent product liability or other liability risks that could result in large claims against us.

We have inherent risk of exposure to product liability and other liability claims resulting from the use of our products, especially to the extent customers may depend on our products in public safety situations that may involve physical harm or even death to individuals, as well as exposure to potential loss or damage to property. Despite quality control systems and inspection, there remains an ever-present risk of an accident resulting from a faulty manufacture or maintenance of products, or an act of an agent outside of our or our supplier’s control. Even if our products perform properly, we may become subject to claims and costly litigation due to the catastrophic nature of the potential injury and loss. A product liability claim, or other legal claims based on theories including personal injury or wrongful death, made against us could adversely affect operations and financial condition. Although we may have insurance to cover product liability claims, the amount of coverage may not be sufficient.

We expect that we will need to obtain additional financing to execute our business plan over the long-term, which may not be available. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate significant revenue, we may not be able to continue operations.

Since our inception, we have not generated sufficient recurring revenue and have experienced substantial losses. During 2013, we raised additional capital before expenses of approximately $5,649,800 from certain private investors through sales of our equity securities, less expenses of approximately $755,000. We believe that we have sufficient cash resources to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses and fund our business plan, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. We may, therefore, need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities. We cannot assure you that we will ever be able to secure any such additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we cannot obtain such financing, we will not be able to execute our business plan, will be required to reduce operating expenses, and in the extreme case, discontinue operations.

We may not achieve sustainable profitability with respect to the biometric component of our business if we are unable to maintain, improve and develop the wireless data services we offer.

We believe that our future business prospects depend in part on our ability to maintain and improve our current services and to develop new ones on a timely basis. Our services will have to achieve market acceptance, maintain technological competitiveness, and meet an expanding range of customer requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent in our service offerings, major new wireless data services and service enhancements require long development and testing periods. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of new services and service enhancements. Additionally, our new services and service enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. If we cannot effectively develop and improve services, we may not be able to recover our fixed costs or otherwise become profitable.

If we fail to adequately manage our resources, it could have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock price.

We could be subject to fluctuations in technology spending by existing and potential customers. Accordingly, we will have to actively manage expenses in a rapidly changing economic environment. This could require reducing costs during economic downturns and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. If we do not properly manage our resources in response to these conditions, our results of operations could be negatively impacted.

Our business could be negatively impacted by security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and other disruptions.

As a technology company, we face various security threats, including cybersecurity threats to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Although we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor these threats and mitigate our exposure to such threats, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient in preventing security threats from materializing. If any of these events were to materialize, they could lead to losses of sensitive information, critical infrastructure, personnel or capabilities, essential to our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Cybersecurity attacks in particular are evolving and include but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. These events could damage our reputation and lead to financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

We have issued a substantial number of securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock which could result in substantial dilution to the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

As of the date of this prospectus, approximately 38,905,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise or conversion of the following securities:

●

38,776,000 shares upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants; and

●

129,000 shares upon exercise of options available for future grant under our existing option plans.

The exercise or conversion of these securities will result in a significant increase in the number of outstanding shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

Applicable SEC Rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and the ability to sell our shares.

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. Since our common stock continues to trade below $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations, which impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

We intend to raise additional funds in the future through issuances of securities and such additional funding may be dilutive to stockholders or impose operational restrictions.

We expect that we will need to raise additional capital in the future to help fund our operations through sales of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, as well as issuances of debt. Such additional financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which may limit our operating flexibility. If additional capital is raised through the issuance of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, the percentage ownership of existing stockholders will be reduced. These stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share and any additional equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase shares of common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make a contested takeover of our Company more difficult.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") could deter a change in our management or render more difficult an attempt to obtain control of us, even if such a proposal is favored by a majority of our stockholders. For example, we are subject to the provisions of the DGCL that prohibit a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares (an "interested stockholder") for three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our certificate of incorporation also includes undesignated preferred stock, which may enable our board of directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. Finally, our bylaws include an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or submit proposals at a stockholders meeting. Delaware law and our charter may, therefore, inhibit a takeover.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile.

The trading price of our shares has from time to time fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including the risk factors set forth in this prospectus as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the biometrics and access control industries, and other events or factors. We cannot assure you that any of the broker-dealers that currently make a market in our common stock will continue to serve as market makers or have the financial capability to stabilize or support our common stock. A reduction in the number of market makers or the financial capability of any of these market makers could also result in a decrease in the trading volume of and price of our shares. In recent years broad stock market indices, in general, and the securities of technology companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the future-trading price of our common stock.

OVERVIEW

We develop and market advanced fingerprint biometric identification and identity verification technologies, cryptographic authentication-transaction security technologies, as well as related identity management and credentialing software solutions. We were pioneers in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit card, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Advanced BIO-key® technology has been and is used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics.

In partnerships with OEMs, integrators, and solution providers, we provide biometric software solutions to private and public sector customers. We provide the ability to positively identify and authenticate individuals before granting access to valuable corporate resources, web portals or applications in seconds. Powered by our patented Vector Segment Technology™ or VST™, WEB-key® and BSP development kits are fingerprint biometric solutions that provide interoperability with all major reader manufacturers, enabling application developers and integrators to integrate fingerprint biometrics into their applications.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Historically, our largest market has been access control within highly regulated industries such as healthcare. However, we believe the mass adoption of advanced smart-phone and hand-held wireless devices have caused commercial demand for advanced user authentication to emerge as viable. The introduction of smart-phone capabilities, like mobile payments and credentialing, could effectively require biometric user authentication on mobile devices to reduce risks of identity theft, payment fraud and other forms of fraud in the mobile or cellular based world wide web. As more services and payment functionalities, such as mobile wallets and near field communication (NFC), migrate to smart-phones, the value and potential risk associated with such systems should grow and drive demand and adoption of advanced user authentication technologies, including fingerprint biometrics and BIO-key solutions.

In October 2013, Apple Computer Corporation released the Apple iPhone 5s smartphone (“5s”). We believe the 5s to be the first broadly distributed smartphone to incorporate fingerprint biometrics in the phone. Since that time, HTC Corporation has also released a fingerprint biometric enabled smartphone. We believe other smartphone, tablet, laptop and related smart-device manufacturers will additionally make fingerprint-enabled smart devices available for consumer applications. As devices with onboard fingerprint sensors continue to deploy to consumers, we expect that third party application developers will demand the ability to authenticate users of their respective applications (app’s) with the onboard fingerprint biometric. We further believe that authentication will occur on the device itself for potentially low-value, and therefore low-risk, use-transactions and that user authentication for high-value transactions will migrate to the application provider’s authentication server, typically located within their supporting technology infrastructure, or Cloud. We have developed our technology to enable, on-device authentication as well as network or cloud-based authentication and believe we may be the only technology vendor capable of providing this flexibility and capability.

We believe there is potential for significant market growth in three key areas:

●

corporate network access control, including corporate campuses, computer networks and applications;

●

consumer mobile credentialing, including mobile payments, credit and payment card programs, data and application access, and commercial loyalty programs; and.

●

government services and highly regulated industries, including Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, drivers licenses, campus and school ID, passports/visas.

In the near-term, we expect to grow our business within government services and highly-regulated industries in which we have historically had a strong presence, such as the healthcare industry. We believe that continued heightened security and privacy requirements in these industries will generate increased demand for security solutions, including biometrics.

Over the longer term, we intend to expand our business into the cloud and mobile computing industries. The emergence of cloud computing and mobile computing are primary drivers of commercial and consumer adoption of advanced authentication applications, including biometric and BIO-key authentication capabilities. As the value of assets, services and transactions increases on such networks, we expect that security and user authentication demand should rise proportionately. Our integration partners include major web and network technology providers, who we believe will deliver our cloud-applicable solutions to interested service-providers. These service-providers could include, but are not limited to, financial institutions, web-service providers, consumer payment service providers, credit reporting services, consumer data service providers, healthcare providers and others. Additionally, our integration partners include major technology component providers and OEM manufacturers, who we believe will deliver our device-applicable solutions to interested hardware manufacturers. Such manufacturers could include cellular handset and smartphone manufacturers, tablet manufacturer

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, service revenues included approximately $292,000 and $352,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $238,000 and $183,000, respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue decreased 17% from 2013 as customers have been slow to renew existing maintenance agreements. The non-recurring custom services increased 30% for custom services revenue for a customer project that the Company expects to continue through the balance of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, license and other revenue (comprised of third party hardware and royalty) increased as a result of several contributing factors. We realized an approximate $606,000 increase (156%) in our core software license revenue primarily as a result of one large order in 2014 that was three times larger than the one large order in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we shipped orders from McKesson for their continued deployment of our identification technology in their AccuDose® product line, and for continued expansion of biometric ID deployments with commercial partners ChoicePoint /Nexis Lexis, Educational Biometric Technology, Medflow, Davlong and Identimetrics. Third-party hardware sales decreased by approximately $26,000 (11%), as a result of decreased smaller healthcare deployments. Our royalty income was derived from an OEM agreement, and resulted in a 44% decrease in revenue from $73,756 to $41,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. We do not expect this downward trend to continue.

Costs of goods sold

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cost of service increased approximately $83,000 from the corresponding period in 2013 due to costs associated with non-recurring custom services revenue. License and other costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased from the corresponding prior year period by approximately $18,000. The decrease is directly associated with the decrease in third party hardware revenue.

The interest expense for the fiscal year ended 2013 was attributable to the related party note payable and the InterDigital Note, both of which were repaid in full during the year. Interest expense in 2013 also includes the amortization of deferred costs with respect to the issuance of the InterDigital Note in February 2013 in the amount of $107,203. As the note and all accumulated interest payable were repaid by the Company in November 2013, the remaining deferred cost balance was expensed at that time. Interest expense for the 2012 period related solely to the related party note payable.

In 2013, the Company issued various equity securities that contained derivative liabilities. Such derivative liabilities are required to be marked-to-market each reporting period.

LIQUIDITY OUTLOOK

At June 30, 2014, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $518,000, as compared to approximately $2,023,000 at December 31, 2013.

As discussed above, we have historically financed our operations through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and recently through factoring receivables. We currently require approximately $475,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to consistently achieve through revenue generation. We do not expect to incur any material capital expenditures during the next 12 months. During the first half of 2014, we generated approximately $1,770,000 of revenue, which is below our average monthly requirements. As a result, we do not expect that our available cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months.

If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to fund current operations or meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. We may, therefore, need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities.

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion related to our annual financial statements as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate sufficient revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or continue as a going concern.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since our inception, our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities. We expect capital expenditures to be less than $100,000 during the next twelve months. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

The following sets forth our primary sources of capital during the previous two years:

Effective December 31, 2010, Thomas Colatosti (“Colatosti”), our Chairman of the Board agreed to exchange all of his outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 in the original principal amount of $64,878, for a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $350,804 (the “Colatosti Note”). In February 2013, the principal balance and accrued interest owing under the Colatosti Note was repaid in full from the proceeds of the financing with InterDigital described below.

As of December 2011, we entered into a 24-month accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”). Pursuant to the terms of this arrangement, from time to time, we sell to the Factor certain of our accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 75% of the accounts receivable balance to us (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees payable by us, once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. In April 2012, the terms were updated from monthly to quarterly, and the 24-month arrangement was extended to August 1, 2014. We expect to continue to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with our general working capital requirements due to contractual requirements.

On February 26, 2013, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $497,307 (the “InterDigital Note”) to DRNC Holdings, Inc. (“DRNC”). The InterDigital Note accrues interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with a default rate of 9% per annum while a nonpayment default is continuing, matures on December 31, 2015, is secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets, and is subject to acceleration upon an event of default. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the InterDigital Note was used to repay the Colatosti Note in full, and the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. On November 22, 2013, we repaid in full the $497,307 balance due under the InterDigital Note. In connection with the repayment, DRNC's security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets was terminated.

On February 26, 2013, we issued 4,026,935 shares of common stock to DRNC for an aggregate purchase price of $402,693.

On February 26, 2013, we also issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to a limited number of investors for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000.

On July 23, 2013, we issued units to certain investors consisting of 3,500,006 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 3,500,006 shares of our common stock at a purchase price $0.30 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,050,000. The warrants are exercisable at $0.40 per share and expire five years after the date of the grant. On December 2, 2013, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $0.25 per share.

On October 25 and November 8, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 24,647,337 units consisting of 24,647,337 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 24,647,337 shares of common stock at a purchase price $0.15 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,697,100 prior to deduction for placement agent fees and expenses. The warrants are exercisable at $0.25 per share and expire three years after the date of the grant. Investors in this offering have certain anti-dilution rights which require us to issue additional shares of common stock to the investors if within the nine months following November 8, 2013, we sell or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents (other than sales or issuances to directors, officers, employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business for compensation purposes and stock splits and stock dividends payable in respect our common stock) having a purchase, exercise or conversion price per share of less than $0.15.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are in the opinion of management reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes to these estimates for the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note A of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

1. Revenue Recognition

Revenues from software licensing are recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition. Accordingly, revenue from software licensing is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

The Company intends to enter into arrangements with end users for items which may include software license fees, and services or various combinations thereof. For each arrangement, revenues will be recognized when evidence of an agreement has been documented, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of fees is probable, delivery of the product has occurred and no other significant obligations remain.

Multiple-Element Arrangements: For multiple-element arrangements, the Company applies the residual method in accordance with ASC 985-605. The residual method requires that the portion of the total arrangement fee attributable to the undelivered elements be deferred based on its VSOE of fair value and subsequently recognized as the service is delivered. The difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements, which is generally the software license. VSOE of fair value for all elements in an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing for those products and services when sold separately. VSOE of fair value for support services is additionally determined by the renewal rate in customer contracts. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for support as well as consulting services.

License Revenues: Amounts allocated to license revenues are recognized at the time of delivery of the software and all other revenue recognition criteria discussed above have been met.

Revenue from licensing software, which requires significant customization and modification, is recognized using the percentage of completion method, based on the hours of effort incurred by the Company in relation to the total estimated hours to complete. In instances where third party hardware, software or services form a significant portion of a customer’s contract, the Company recognizes revenue for the element of software customization by the percentage of completion method described above. Otherwise, third party hardware, software, and services are recognized upon shipment or acceptance as appropriate. If the Company makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates of the total amount of work expected to be required to customize or modify the software, the timing and revenue recognition, from period to period, and the margins on the project in the reporting period, may differ materially from amounts reported. Anticipated contract losses are recognized as soon as they become known and are estimable.

Service Revenues: Revenues from services are comprised of maintenance and consulting and implementation services. Maintenance revenues include providing for unspecified when-and-if available product updates and customer telephone support services, and are recognized ratably over the term of the service period. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis and include a range of services including installation of software and assisting in the design of interfaces to allow the software to operate in customized environments. Services are generally separable from other elements under the arrangement since performance of the services are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the transaction and are described in the contract such that the total price of the arrangement would be expected to vary as the result of the inclusion or exclusion of the services. Revenues from services are generally recognized as the services are performed.

The Company provides customers, free of charge or at a minimal cost, testing kits which potential licensing customers may use to test compatibility/acceptance of the Company’s technology with the customer’s intended applications.

Costs and other expenses: Includes professional compensation and other direct contract expenses, as well as costs attributable to the support of client service professional staff, depreciation and amortization costs related to assets used in revenue-generating activities, and other costs attributable to serving the Company’s client base. Professional compensation consists of payroll costs and related benefits including stock-based compensation and bonuses. Other direct contract expenses include costs directly attributable to client engagements, such as out-of-pocket costs including travel and subsistence for client service professional staff, costs of hardware and software and costs of subcontractors. The allocation of lease and facilities charges for occupied offices is included in costs of service.

The Company accounts for its warranties under the FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies.” The Company generally warrants that its products are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of initial delivery to our customers. The warranty does not cover any losses or damage that occurs as a result of improper installation, misuse or neglect or repair or modification by anyone other than the Company or its authorized repair agent. The Company’s policy is to accrue anticipated warranty costs based upon historical percentages of items returned for repair within one year of the initial sale. The Company’s repair rate of products under warranty has been minimal, and a historical percentage has not been established. The Company’s software license agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if the Company’s software products infringe upon a third party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not provided for any reserves for warranty liabilities as it was determined to be immaterial.

2. Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, including Intangible Assets

We review our long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. In assessing recoverability, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and discount factors. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, based upon the pattern in which the expected benefits will be realized, or on a straight-line basis, whichever is greater. We did not record any impairment charges in any of the years presented.

3. Research and Development Expenditures

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs primarily related to the development of our software products and improving the efficiency and capabilities of our existing software. Such costs include salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefit costs, materials, supplies, depreciation on research equipment, services provided by outside contractors, and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and general support services. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.

4. Income Taxes

The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from the differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback, carryforward period available under tax law. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, if it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation, as prescribed by ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes,” includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding historical operating results including recent years with reported losses, the estimated timing of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. Because of the Companies historical performance and estimated future taxable income a full valuation allowance has been established.

5. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-10, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The majority of our share-based compensation arrangements vest over either a three or four year vesting schedule. The Company expenses its share-based compensation under the ratable method, which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected option term”), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As required under the accounting rules, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, are likely to change our valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures (the number of individuals that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements). The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates.

BUSINESS

Overview

We were founded in 1993 to develop and market advanced fingerprint biometric technology and related security software solutions. First incorporated as BBG Engineering, we were renamed SAC Technologies in 1994 and, again, renamed BIO-key International, Inc. in 2002.

We develop and market advanced fingerprint biometric identification and identity verification technologies, cryptographic authentication-transaction security technologies, as well as related identity management and credentialing software solutions. We were pioneers in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit card, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Additionally, advanced BIO-key® technology has been and is used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics.

We have developed what we believe is the most discriminating and effective commercially available finger-based biometric technology. Our primary focus is in marketing and selling this technology into commercial logical and physical privilege entitlement and access control markets. Example primary markets include mobile payments & credentialing, online payments and credentialing, and healthcare record and payment data security, among others. Our secondary focus includes government markets, primarily law enforcement forensic investigation and the Department of Homeland Security. We continue to research and develop advancements in our capabilities, as well as exploring and developing potential strategic relationships, including potential business combinations and acquisitions, which could help us leverage our capability to deliver our solutions. We have built a direct sales force of professionals, and also team with resellers, integrators and partner networks with substantial experience in selling technology solutions to government and corporate customers.

Products

Finger-based Biometric Identification and Personal Identity Verification

We are a leader in finger-based biometric identification and personal identity verification, as well as authentication-transaction security. Stand-alone, or in partnerships with OEMs, integrators, and solution providers, we provide biometric software solutions and authentication-transaction security solutions to private and public sector customers. We help customers reduce risk by providing the ability to control access to facilities and services, in either the logical or physical domain. Our capabilities positively identify individuals and verify, or confirm, their identity before granting access to valuable corporate resources, privileged or subscribed data and services, web portals, applications, physical locations or assets, among other things. Our capabilities are software based and both hardware and operating-system agnostic.

We do not develop, manufacture or produce hardware components that are used in conjunction with our software. However, we do sell third-party hardware components with our software in various configurations required by our customers, as do our partners. Our products are interoperable with all major fingerprint reader and hardware manufacturers, enabling application developers, Value Added Resellers (“VARs”) and channel partners to integrate our fingerprint biometrics into their application, while dramatically reducing maintenance, upgrade and life-cycle costs. Our core technology supports interoperability on over 60 different commercially available fingerprint readers. The technology is also interoperable across Windows and Linux, as well as Apple iOS and Android mobile operating systems. This interoperability is unique in the industry and a key differentiator for our products in the biometric market and, in our opinion, makes our technology more viable than competing technologies and expands the size of the overall market for our products.

Our biometric identification technology improves both the accuracy and speed of screening individuals, for identification purposes or for personal identity verification, by extracting unique data from a fingerprint and comparing it to existing similar fingerprint data. These comparisons are conducted to identify an individual, either in a forensic investigation, or to screen the individual upon the application for a privilege, or to verify the individual’s identity upon such individuals request to access the previously entitled privilege. The technology has been built to be completely scalable and can handle databases containing millions of fingerprints. We achieve the highest levels of discrimination without requiring any other identifying data (multi-factor) such as a userID, smart ID cards, or tokens, although our technology can be used in conjunction with such additional factors.

We support industry standards, such as BioAPI, and have received National Institute of Standards and Technology independent laboratory certification of our ability to support Homeland Security Presidential Directive #12 (HSPD-12) and ANSI/INCITS-378 templates, as well as validation of our fingerprint match speed and accuracy in large database environments.

Our finger identification algorithm—Vector Segment Technology (VST™) is the core intellectual property behind our full suite of biometric products that include:

●

Vector Segment Technology SDK (VST)—Our biometric software development kit (“SDK”) that provides developers the ability to incorporate our biometric capabilities into their respective product offerings or infrastructure. VST is available as a low level SDK for incorporation into any application architecture to increase security while not sacrificing convenience. VST runs on Windows and Linux as well as within WEB-key on iOS and Android systems.

●

Intelligent Image Indexing®—Our biometric identification solution that offers both large-scale one-to-many user identification. This solution enables customers to perform false alias and fast entry checks, including preventing fraudulent access to systems and privileges. Intelligent Image Indexing scales identification capabilities from thousands to millions of users. The solution runs on commercially available hardware making it scalable for any size system.

●

Biometric Service Provider—We provide support for the BioAPI (a standards-based solution meeting worldwide needs) for a compliant interface to applications using biometrics for verification and identification. We enhance the traditional use of BioAPI by adding 64-bit support and other advanced features, supporting identification calls and also providing a single user interface for multiple fingerprint readers.

●

This solution provides a simple to implement, custom authentication scheme for companies looking to enhance authentication. ID Director is designed to add a level of security and convenience to the transaction level of any application.

Authentication Transaction Security

Our authentication-transaction security technology, WEB-key®, provides the ability to conduct identification and identity verification transactions in potentially insecure environments, including the World Wide Web or in off-site cloud environments.

WEB-key makes cloud-based biometric user-authentication viable and eliminates technology constraints on online service providers, who are otherwise held dependent on handset provider hardware and software platform decisions. It extends all features and functionalities of the VST algorithm to customers looking to add an enhanced level of security to their thin client and client/server applications. WEB-key is currently supported by both Windows and Linux operating systems. Clients are available on Windows, iOS and Android operating systems.

Intellectual Property Rights

We develop and own significant intellectual property and believe that our intellectual property is fundamental to our biometric operation:

We also take measures to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets.

Markets

Identity Management, User Authentication, Privilege Entitlement and Access Control

Our products reduce risk of theft, fraud, loss and attack by limiting access to valuable assets, privileges, data, services, networks and places, to only authorized individuals. Conversely, our products enhance the monetary value and/or viability of privileged assets, places and services by ensuring only subscribers and otherwise entitled holders can enjoy full access to their privileges. In effect, our products replace traditional credentialing systems, which utilize a physical or electronic credential document to represent the holder’s privilege entitlement, and access control systems that guard access to such privileges. Examples of such privileges include, but are not limited to: international travel and immigration privileges; employment ID, campus ID and corporate ID privileges; healthcare service privileges; citizen Entitlement privileges such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security; and bank, credit account and financial transaction privileges such as checking accounts, debit and credit cards, payments, online services and subscription privileges. Examples of access points include doorways, gates, computers, point-of-sale terminals, smart-phones or web-portals and automobiles. In our opinion, the market for advanced user authentication, including fingerprint biometrics, is conceptually enormous, represented by virtually any doorway, gate, computer network or internet end-point like smart-phones, desktops and laptops PCs and tablets, and compounded by the number of individuals privileged to access something guarded by those access points. We believe the market opportunity for our products is a massive upgrade cycle of global privilege entitlement and access control systems.

Historically, our largest market has been access control within highly regulated industries like healthcare. However, we believe the mass adoption of advanced smart-phone and hand-held wireless devices have caused commercial demand for advanced user authentication to emerge as viable. The introduction of smart-phone capabilities, like mobile payments and credentialing, could effectively require biometric user authentication on mobile devices to reduce risks of identity theft, payment fraud other forms of fraud in the mobile or cellular based World Wide Web. As more services and payment functionalities, like mobile wallets and NFC, migrate to smart-phones, the value and potential risk associated with such systems should grow substantially and drive demand and mass adoption of advanced user authentication technologies, including fingerprint biometrics and our solutions.

We believe there is potential for significant market growth in three key areas:

●

Corporate network access control- Corporate campuses, computer networks and applications.

●

Consumer mobile credentialing, including mobile payments- Credit and payment card programs, data and application access and commercial loyalty programs.

●

Government services and highly regulated industry- Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Drivers Licenses, Campus and School ID, Passports/Visas.

Business Model

We believe the most viable markets for our products involve various forms of computer network and Internet applications. The emergences of cloud computing and mobile computing are primary drivers of commercial and consumer adoption of advanced authentication applications, including our authentication capabilities. As the value of assets, services and transactions increases on such networks, we expect that security and user authentication demand will rise proportionately. We believe the nature of cloud and mobile computing requires technology interoperability across borders, jurisdictions and networks. Further, government and highly regulated service offerings must also interoperate across borders, jurisdictions and networks. In many cases, government and highly regulated service-related technologies are required to be interoperable and standards compliant. We have developed our technology and offerings to be software-based, standards compliant, universally interoperable, hardware and operating system agnostic, and scalable. Our technologies, products and platforms are designed to function on the Internet, in the cloud, in a traditional network environment, or stand-alone. We believe our model provides the strongest opportunity to penetrate the global biometric authentication market, leverage our partners’ potentially large and resource rich sales channels, as well as produce the highest margin revenue.

We have built a two-tier sales channel to deliver our solutions. Channels include direct sales, integrator partners and VARs. We sell stand-alone software licenses for our products, as well as packaged configurations with “commercial-off-the-shelf” viable third-party hardware devices, like fingerprint readers and network technologies. We do not develop or produce proprietary hardware products. Our technologies also work with a variety of proprietary, sole-source technology offerings from third-party vendors. We believe our technologies can work within the constraints of any customer or partner system design. We are exploring a subscription or Software as a Service (SaaS) model for our software.

Direct Sales, Licensing, Integrator and VAR Partnerships

Our products are software based and we typically license our software to end users directly, or through integrator and VAR partners. Our primary sales and marketing focus is to integrate our software into the platform offerings of large technology infrastructure producers. We employ dedicated staff to develop relationships with end-users and integrator partners. We further employ technical support staff who help customers integrate our technology into their applications, as well as support new strategic development efforts.

We have formed strategic relationships with large Internet and network infrastructure providers, including IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, CA Technologies and Indigo, to provide enterprise-ready systems to large enterprise customers and stakeholders. We have also established partnerships with leading technology integrators, including MorphoTrak, McKesson, LexisNexis, Allscripts, Epic, Caradigm, Identimetrics and HealthCast.

On February 26, 2013, we entered into a strategic partnership with Interdigital Corporation to jointly develop and market biometric authentication solutions for the mobile credentialing & payments markets.

Competition

In addition to companies that provide existing commonplace methods of restricting access to facilities and logical access points such as pass cards, PIN numbers, passwords, locks and keys, there are numerous companies involved in the development, manufacturing and marketing of fingerprint biometrics products to commercial, government, law enforcement and prison markets. These companies include, but are not limited to, 3M (Cogent), NEC, and MorphoTrak.

The majority of sales for automated fingerprint identification products in the market to date have been deployed for government agencies, healthcare facilities and law enforcement applications. The consumer and commercial markets represent areas of significant growth potential for biometrics, led by the use of mobile devices.

The epidemic of security and data breaches reported over the past few years is one of the driving factors for identifying new methods of protecting valuable data. After attempting to create a more sophisticated password or more efficient token or PIN, it’s become apparent that each of these methods is easily compromised and the downside risks are significant.

With respect to competing biometrics technologies, each has its strengths and weaknesses and none has emerged as a market leader:

●

Fingerprint identification is generally viewed as very accurate, inexpensive and non-intrusive;

●

Palmvein scanning is expensive, technique-sensitive, and offers mobility challenges;

●

Iris scanning is viewed as accurate, but the hardware is significantly more expensive; and

●

Facial recognition can have accuracy limitations and is typically highly dependent on ambient lighting conditions, angle of view, and other factors.

Research and Development

We concentrate our research and development efforts on enhancing the functionality, reliability and integration of our current products as well as developing new and innovative products for biometrics. Although we believe that our identification technology is one of the most advanced and discriminating fingerprint technologies available today, the markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological change and evolving standards. In order to maintain our position in the market, we will continue to upgrade and refine our existing technologies.

On February 26, 2013, we announced that we entered into a Research and Development Collaboration Agreement (the “R&D Collaboration”) with InterDigital Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of InterDigital, Inc. (“InterDigital”), a wireless research and development company, InterDigital is also the parent company of DRNC, which provided debt and equity financing to us in February 2013. The R&D Collaboration will target advanced cloud security and identity and access management solutions for the mobile market. The R&D Collaboration will bring together our innovative research and product development capabilities in fingerprint biometrics with InterDigital’s research efforts in developing identity and access management solutions for the mobile market.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we spent approximately $1,344,000 and $947,000, respectively, on our biometric segment’s research, development and engineering. Our limited customer base during that time did not directly bear these costs, which were principally funded through outside sources of equity and debt financing.

Government Regulations

We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any government agency, other than regulations generally applicable to businesses or related to specific project requirements. In the event of any international sales, we would be subject to various domestic and foreign laws regulating such exports and export activities.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in litigation. The Company is not a party to any material pending litigation except as follows:

On or about March 13, 2014, LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, Inc. filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of Monmouth County, New Jersey (MON-L-1042-14) alleging a breach of a license agreement and seeking return of all amounts paid under the license in the amount of $718,500. We have denied all claims and asserted a counterclaim against LifeSouth for non-payment of support and maintenance service fees. Discovery has commenced and is proceeding.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Compensation for BIO-key’s executives is comprised of three main components: base salary, annual performance-based cash bonus and long-term equity awards. We do not target a specific weighting of these three components or use a prescribed formula to establish pay levels. Rather, the board of directors and compensation committee considers changes in the business, external market factors and our financial position each year when determining pay levels and allocating between long-term and current compensation for the named executive officers.

Cash compensation is comprised of base salary and an annual performance-based cash bonus opportunity. The committee generally seeks to set a named executive officer’s targeted total cash compensation opportunity within a range that is the average of the applicable peer company and/or general industry compensation survey data, adjusted as appropriate for individual performance and internal pay equity and labor market conditions.

In setting cash compensation levels, we favor a balance in which base salaries are generally targeted at slightly below the peer average and a bonus opportunity that is targeted at slightly above the average. The committee believes that this higher emphasis on performance-based cash bonuses places an appropriate linkage between a named executive officer’s pay, his or her individual performance and the achievement of specific business goals by placing a higher proportion of annual cash compensation at risk, thereby aligning executive opportunity with the interests of stockholders.

We include an equity component as part of our compensation package because we believe that equity-based compensation aligns the long-term interests of our named executive officers with those of stockholders.

These cash and equity compensation components of pay are supplemented by various benefit plans that provide health, life, accident, disability and severance benefits, most of which are the same as the benefits provided to all of our US based employees.

Employment Agreements

On March 26, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement, effective as of March 25, 2010, with Michael W. DePasquale to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company until March 24, 2011. The agreement automatically renews for subsequent one-year terms, unless the employment relationship is terminated by either party, or modified in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Under the Agreement, Mr. DePasquale will be paid an annual base salary of $250,000, subject to adjustment by the Board or Compensation Committee. In addition to the Base Salary, a “Performance Bonus” may be awarded to Mr. DePasquale on the basis of the Company achieving certain corporate and strategic performance goals, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The employment agreement contains standard and customary confidentiality, non-solicitation and “work made for hire” provisions as well as a covenant not to compete which prohibits Mr. DePasquale from doing business with any current or prospective customer of the Company or engaging in a business competitive with that of the Company during the term of his employment and for the one year period thereafter.

LaCous to serve as the Vice President of Technology & Development of the Company at an annual base salary of $147,420, subject to adjustment by the Board or Compensation Committee.

Our employment agreement with Mr. DePasquale automatically renews for subsequent one-year terms, unless the employment relationship is terminated by either party, or modified in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. We may terminate the Agreement at any time with or without cause. In the event of termination by us without cause, we will continue to pay Mr. DePasquale his then current base salary for the greater of nine months from the date of such termination or the number of months remaining until the end of the term of the Agreement.

We may terminate our employment agreement with Ms. LaCous at any time with or without cause. In the event of termination by us without cause, we will continue to pay Ms. LaCous her then current base salary for nine months from the date of such termination.

Our employment agreement with Ms. Welch automatically renews for subsequent one-year terms, unless the employment relationship is terminated by either party, or modified in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

In the event of termination by us without cause, we will continue to pay Ms. Welch her then current base salary for the greater of six months from the date of such termination or the number of months remaining until the end of the term of the Agreement.

Change in Control Provisions

The Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan” and together with the 2004 Plan, the “Plans”) provide for the acceleration of the vesting of unvested options upon a “Change in Control” of the Company. A Change in Control is defined in the Plans to include (i) a sale or transfer of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (iii) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and after which the prior shareholders of the Company hold less than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation’s outstanding securities; (iv) the incumbent directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; or (v) a change in control of the Company which would otherwise be reportable under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

In the event of a “Change In Control” each Plan provides for the immediate vesting of all options issued thereunder. The 1999 Plan provides for the Company to deliver written notice to each optionee under the 1999 Plan fifteen (15) days prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control during which all options issued under the 1999 Plan may be exercised. Thereafter, all options issued under the 1999 Plan which are neither assumed nor substituted in connection with such transaction, automatically expire unless otherwise determined by the Board. The 2004 Plan enables the Board to provide that all outstanding options be assumed, or equivalent options be substituted by the acquiring or succeeding corporation upon the occurrence of a “Reorganization Event” as defined. If such Reorganization Event also constitutes a Change In Control, then such assumed or substituted options shall be immediately exercisable in full. If the acquiring or succeeding corporation does not agree to assume, or substitute for such options, then the Board, upon written notice to the Participants, may provide that all unexercised options become exercisable in full as of a specified time prior to the Reorganization Event and terminate prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event. Alternatively, if under the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Event, holders of common stock will receive a cash payment for their shares, then the Board may provide that all Participants receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the Acquisition Price and the Option Price multiplied by the number of options held by such Participants.

Options issued to executive officers outside of the Plans contain change in control provisions substantially similar to those contained in the 1999 Plan.

Our employment agreement with Mr. DePasquale contains a change in control provision that is triggered if Mr. DePasquale is not offered continued employment with us or any successor, or within five years following such Change of Control, we or any successor terminates Mr. DePasquale’s employment without cause. If this occurs, then we will pay Mr. DePasquale his base salary and benefits earned but unpaid through the date of termination, and any prorated bonus earned during the then current bonus year, plus two times his then current base salary.

Narrative Disclosure to Director Compensation Table

Prior to 2014, the Company’s policy was to issue options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to each non-employee director on an annual basis.

Consulting Arrangement with Thomas J. Colatosti

In connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors in September 2002, and as acting Chief Financial Officer from November 2008 to December 2009, the Company had entered into a number of consulting arrangements with Thomas Colatosti. Under the most recent arrangement, which was entered into on January 12, 2010, Mr. Colatosti provided services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the two-year term ended December 31, 2011 at a rate of $5,000 per month. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we owe to Mr. Colatosti an aggregate of $50,000 for consulting services rendered.

Repayment of Note Payable to Thomas J. Colatosti

Effective as of December 31, 2010, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Thomas J. Colatosti, pursuant to which Mr. Colatosti agreed to exchange all of his outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Notes dated as of December 28, 2009 issued to Mr. Colatosti in the original principal amount of $64,878 for a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $350,804. The 7% Secured Promissory Note was due on December 31, 2012. Pursuant to a Note Amendment and Extension Agreement effective as of December 31, 2012, the maturity date of the 7% Convertible Promissory Note was extended to March 31, 2013. In February 2013, we repaid the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest under this note from the proceeds of our February 2013 private offering with InterDigital.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary of our capital stock, our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the DGCL is intended as a summary only and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 170,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of which 116,052,320 shares were outstanding on the date of this prospectus. Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders and are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Our shares of our common stock do not carry any preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the shares of our common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property as may be declared by our Board of Directors from time to time out of our assets or funds legally available for dividends or other distributions, subject to dividend or distribution preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding shares of preferred stock. In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of all debts and other liabilities and satisfaction of the liquidation preference, if any, granted to the holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share, of which no shares are outstanding on the date of this prospectus. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock (including convertible preferred stock). Unless required by law, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by you. Our Board of Directors is able to determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation:

●

the designation of the series;

●

the number of shares of the series, which our Board of Directors may, except where otherwise provided in the preferred stock designation, increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares then outstanding);

●

whether dividends, if any, will be cumulative or non-cumulative and the dividend rate of the series;

●

the dates at which dividends, if any, will be payable;

●

the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

●

the terms and amounts of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

●

the amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs;

●

whether the shares of the series will be convertible into shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Company or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of the other class or series or other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any rate adjustments, the date or dates as of which the shares will be convertible and all other terms and conditions upon which the conversion may be made;

●

restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other class or series; and

●

the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series.

We could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede or discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the holders of our common stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which the holders of our common stock might receive a premium for your common stock over the market price of the common stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of our common stock by restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our Bylaws and the DGCL

The following provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the DGCL may discourage takeover attempts of us that may be considered by some stockholders to be in their best interest. The effect of such provisions could delay or frustrate a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the removal of incumbent directors, or the assumption of control by stockholders, even if such proposed actions would be beneficial to our stockholders. Such effect could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease or could cause temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that otherwise would not have resulted from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. Additional shares that may be used in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, to facilitate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

Our Board of Directors may generally issue preferred shares on terms calculated to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control or the removal of our management. Moreover, our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable our Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our Board of Directors. This provision may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of the Company.

Director Vacancies

Our certificate of incorporation provides that any vacancies in our Board of Directors, however occurring, will be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, even if less than a quorum. This provision may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because the provision effectively limits stockholder election of Directors to annual and special meetings of the stockholders.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation specifically authorizes cumulative voting. Our certificate of incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting. Therefore, stockholders holding a majority in voting power of the shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors will be able to elect all our directors.

THE OFFERING

This prospectus covers the public sale of 48,064,982 shares of common stock to be sold by the selling security holders identified in this prospectus. This prospectus also covers any additional shares of our common stock that we may issue or that may be issuable by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving our common stock.

Set forth below are the private offerings that we have conducted since January 1, 2013, which form the basis of the shares of common stock being registered for resale hereby. A portion of the shares issued in such transactions have already been sold prior to the date of this registration statement.

February 2013 Private Offering of Common Stock to DRNC

On February 26, 2013, we issued to DRNC 4,026,935 shares of our common stock at a purchase price $0.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $402,693.50.

February 2013 Private Offering of Common Stock to Private Investors

On February 26, 2013, we issued to certain private investors 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price $0.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. This prospectus covers the public resale of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock issued to these private investors.

July 2013 Private Offering of Common Stock and Warrants to Private Investors

On July 23, 2013, we issued to certain private investors 3,500,006 units consisting of 3,500,006 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 3,500,006 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,050,000. Each unit had a purchase price of $0.30 and consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant. This prospectus covers the public resale of the 3,500,006 shares of common stock and 3,500,006 shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to these private investors, along with additional shares issued pursuant to anti-dilution rights, as further described below.

The warrants were initially exercisable at an exercise price of $0.40 per share at any time prior to July 22, 2018. On December 2, 2013, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $0.25 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, and reclassifications of our capital stock, and the warrants immediately terminate upon the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or the acquisition of more than 50% of our voting securities by any person in one or a series of related transactions. The warrants do not confer upon the holders thereof any voting, dividend or other rights as stockholders of our company. As of the date of this prospectus, no warrants have been exercised.

Investors in the July 2013 private offering had antidilution rights which required us to issue additional shares of common stock to such investors if within the six (6) month period after July 23, 2013 we issued additional shares of common stock (other than to employees, officers, directors or consultants or pursuant to stock dividends) at a purchase price less than $0.30 per share. The number of additional shares issuable was determined pursuant to a formula based on the number of shares issued at such lower price and the total number of shares outstanding at the time of such issuance calculated on a fullydiluted basis.

In connection with our October 2013 private offering, we issued an aggregate of 412,067 shares of our common stock as a result of certain anti-dilution rights held by investors in our July 2013 private offering. This prospectus covers the public resale of the 412,067 shares of common stock issued to these private investors.

October 2013 Private Offering of Common Stock and Warrants to Private Investors

Between October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013, we issued to certain private investors 24,647,337 units, consisting of 24,647,337 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 24,647,337 shares of our common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,697,100. Each unit had a purchase price of $0.15 and consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant. This prospectus covers the public resale of the shares issued and shares underlying the warrants issued in this private offering.

The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a term of three years. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, and reclassifications of our capital stock, and the warrants immediately terminate upon the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or the acquisition of more than 50% of our voting securities by any person in one or a series of related transactions. The warrants do not confer upon the holders thereof any voting, dividend or other rights as stockholders of our company. As of the date of this prospectus, no warrants have been exercised.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

The selling security holders identified in the following table are offering for resale 48,064,982 shares of our common stock. All of the securities were previously issued to the selling security holders in private placement transactions. A description of these transactions is set forth above under “The Offering”.

The following table sets forth as of September 12, 2014:

●

The name of each selling security holder and any material relationship between us and such selling security holder based upon information currently available to us;

●

The number of shares owned beneficially by each selling security holder before the offering;

●

The percentage ownership of each selling security holder prior to the offering;

●

The number of shares offered hereunder by each selling security holder;

●

The number of shares owned beneficially by each selling security holder after the offering; and

●

The percentage ownership of each selling security holder after the offering.

The information presented in this table has been calculated based on the assumption that all options and warrants will be exercised prior to completion of the offering, that all shares offered hereby will be sold, and that no other shares of our common stock will be acquired or disposed of by the selling security holder prior to the termination of this offering. The beneficial ownership set forth below has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act based on 116,052,320 shares of our common stock outstanding on September 12, 2014. Except as indicated by footnote, and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below have sole voting power and investments power with respect to their shares. None of the selling security holders are affiliated with a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders. We will, however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of any warrants held by the selling security holders. If such warrants are exercised in full, we would receive gross cash proceeds of approximately $7,036,835.75. Any such proceeds are currently expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. No assurances can be given that any of the warrants will be exercised.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling security holder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTCQB Marketplace or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling security holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

settlement of short sales entered into after selling security holders the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

●

broker-dealers may agree to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling security holders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling security holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each selling security holder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling security holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Because selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling security holders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling security holders without registration and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling security holders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company prospectively adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance will also require that certain contract costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract, such as sales commissions, be capitalized as an asset and amortized as revenue is recognized. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of both revenue recognition and the incurrence of contract costs for certain transactions. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and the implementation approach to be used.

F-6

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred significant losses to date and at June 30, 2014, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $56 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of the Company’s technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $518,000, as compared to approximately $2,023,000 at December 31, 2013.

The Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and through factoring receivables. The Company currently requires approximately $475,000 per month to conduct operations, a monthly amount that it has been unable to achieve consistently through revenue generation.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet its goals, it will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute its plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue, and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained by the Company, in order to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

4. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE COMMON STOCK (“EPS”)

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net income (loss) available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock.

The reconciliation of the numerators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows for both of the following three and six month periods ended June 30:

	Three Months ended June 30,						Six Months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013

Basic Numerator:
Net (loss) available to common stockholders	$	(1,026,286	)	$	(554,831	)	$	(1,325,500	)	$	(870,409	)

Basic Denominator		116,003,664			87,182,348			115,940,414			84,339,612
Per Share Amount		(0.01	)		(0.01	)		(0.01	)		(0.01	)

The following table sets forth the options and warrants which were excluded from the diluted per share calculation even though the exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common shares because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months ended June 30,				Six Months ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Stock options		2,938,325		2,157,965		2,069,471		1,407,814

Total		4,480,570		2,157,965		2,069,471		1,407,814

Items excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

5. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Derivative Liabilities

In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative liability instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Securities Purchase Agreements dated October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013

The Company issued common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) pursuant to a series of Private Investors Securities Purchase Agreements (the “PI SPA”) on October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013. Each unit had a purchase price of $0.15 and consisted of one Share and one Warrant. The Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, have a term of three years, and were exercisable on a cashless basis if at any time following the nine month anniversary of the issuance date, there was not an effective registration statement covering the public resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants. The Shares and shares of common stock underlying the Warrants were subject to a registration rights agreement. The Company filed a registration statement on November 22, 2013 and such registration was declared effective on December 31, 2013.

Investors in the PI SPA have certain anti-dilution rights which require the Company to issue additional shares of common stock to the investors if within the nine months following November 8, 2013, the Company, sells or issues any common stock or common stock equivalents (other than sales or issuances to directors, officers, employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business for compensation purposes and stock splits and stock dividends payable in respect of the Company’s common stock) having a purchase, exercise or conversion price per share of less than $0.15.

F-9

Based on an evaluation as discussed in FASB ASC 815-15, “Embedded Derivatives” and FASB ASC 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the anti-dilution features in the common stock issued were not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the anti-dilution features should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability.

The Company did not value the derivative liability. One of the key determinants of the Company’s decision to not value the derivative liability was the high likelihood that a future financing would not occur that would trigger the down round feature. Whether a future equity financing would occur would be determined by the cash needs of the Company and management’s willingness to trigger the down round feature. The Company’s reasons were as follows:

1. The Company’s cash position.

2. The stock price of the Company’s common stock.

3. The unavailability of enough authorized shares to complete a large offering.

Under GAAP, the Company is required to mark-to-market the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not value the derivative liability at June 30, 2014. At such date, the Company determined that it was still highly unlikely that an equity financing would occur prior to August 8, 2014, the expiration date of the down round feature. Such conclusion was based upon the discussion noted above.

Pursuant to a placement agency letter agreement, the Company paid the placement agent cash commissions equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the offering, reimbursed the placement agent for its reasonable out of pocket expenses, and issued to the placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,971,786 shares of common stock. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants issued to the investors, except the Placement Agent Warrants are immediately exercisable on a cashless basis.

The cashless exercise features contained in the Placement Agent Warrants are considered to be derivatives and the Company recorded a warrant liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the warrant liabilities equal to their estimated fair value in 2013. The Company is required to mark-to-market the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $98,209. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net loss on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $100,512. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the cashless exercise feature was $307,219 and $206,707, respectively.

Warrants

On August 15, 2013, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an independent contractor for work associated with the InterDigital Note and InterDigital SPA as additional compensation (the “Compensatory Warrant”). On March 11, 2014, the warrant was exercised resulting in the issuance of 153,659 shares of common stock.

The cashless exercise feature contained in the warrant was considered to be a derivative and the Company recorded a warrant liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the warrant liability equal to its estimated fair value. The Company was required to mark-to-market the warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. As the warrant was exercised, the Company marked-to-market the warrant on the day before the exercise and such value was then transferred to additional paid-in capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $6,211. $42,581, the value of the cashless exercise feature as of March 10, 2014, was transferred to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the cashless exercise feature was $36,370 as of December 31, 2013.

F-10

On January 27, 2014, the Company repurchased a warrant for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares of common stock from the Shaar Fund Ltd. at a purchase price of $150,000. The warrant was exercisable at a strike price of $0.30 per share through December 31, 2015.

Issuances and Exercise of Stock Options

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 0 and 3,420,000 stock options, respectively. The options are exercisable for a term of seven years and vest in equal installments over a three-year period commencing on the date of grant. 2,970,000 of the options are exercisable at $0.205 per share and 350,000 of the options are exercisable at $0.17 per share.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 56,346 shares of common stock for the cashless exercise of stock options.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has determined that its continuing operations are one discrete segment consisting of biometric products. Geographically, North American sales accounted for approximately 62% and 96% of the Company’s total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were approximately 29% and 97% of the Company’s total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

7. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature.

The fair value of the warrant liabilities were measured using the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate		0.60%
Expected term	2.32	–	2.36
Expected dividends		0
Volatility of stock price	114.5%	–	114.7%

The warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions about of future activities and the Company’s stock prices and historical volatility as inputs.

Compensatory Warrant
Fair value at January 1, 2014	$	36,370
Loss on derivative		6,211
Transfer to additional paid-in-capital		(42,581	)
Value at June 30, 2014		-

Warrant issued under PI SPA
Fair value at January 1, 2014		206,707
Loss on derivative		100,512
Value at June 30, 2014		307,219
Balance, June 30, 2014	$	307,219

F-11

8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, two customers accounted for 55%, and three customers accounted for 51% of revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, two customers accounted for 73%, and two customers accounted for 41% of revenue, respectively.

At June 30, 2014, two customers accounted for 56% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2013, one customer accounted for 50% of accounts receivable.

9. CONTINGENCY

On or about March 13, 2014, LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, Inc. (“LifeSouth”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of Monmouth County, New Jersey based on an alleged breach of a license agreement seeking return of all amounts paid under the license in the amount of $718,500. The Company has denied all claims and asserted a counterclaim against LifeSouth for non-payment of support and maintenance service fees. Discovery has commenced and is proceeding.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has reviewed subsequent events through the date of filing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

BIO-key International, Inc.

North Billerica, MA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BIO-key International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BIO-key International, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered substantial net losses in recent years, has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2013 and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are disclosed in Note A. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013 and 2012

NOTE A —THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

The Company, founded in 1993, develops and markets proprietary fingerprint identification biometric technology and software solutions. We also deliver advanced identification solutions and information services to law enforcement departments, public safety agencies and other government and private sector customers. Our mobile wireless technology provides first responders with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state and national databases.

Basis of Presentation

We have incurred significant losses to date, and at December 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $55 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of our technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues. At December 31, 2013, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,023,000, as compared to approximately $84,000 at December 31, 2012.

As discussed below, the Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and recently through factoring receivables. We currently require approximately $400,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to achieve through revenue generation.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained by the Company in order to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

1. Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

F-18

2. Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our consolidated financial statements will be affected. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result.

F-19

3. Revenue Recognition

Revenues from software licensing are recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605, "Software Revenue Recognition." Accordingly, revenue from software licensing is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

Multiple-Element Arrangements: For multiple-element arrangements, the Company applies the residual method in accordance with ASC 985-605. The residual method requires that the portion of the total arrangement fee attributable to the undelivered elements be deferred based on its vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value and subsequently recognized as the service is delivered. The difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements, which is generally the software license. VSOE of fair value for all elements in an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing for those products and services when sold separately. VSOE of fair value for support services is additionally determined by the renewal rate in customer contracts. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for support as well as consulting services.

License Revenues: Amounts allocated to license revenues are recognized at the time of delivery of the software and all other revenue recognition criteria discussed above have been met.

The Company accounts for its warranties under the FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies.” The Company generally warrants that its products are free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of initial receipt by our customers. The warranty does not cover any losses or damage that occurs as a result of improper installation, misuse or neglect or repair or modification by anyone other than the Company or its authorized repair agent. The Company’s policy is to accrue anticipated warranty costs based upon historical percentages of items returned for repair within one year of the initial sale. The Company’s repair rate of products under warranty has been minimal, and a historical percentage has not been established. The Company’s software license agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if the Company’s software products infringe upon a third party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not provided for any reserves for warranty liabilities as it was determined to be immaterial.

F-20

4. Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, cash equivalents consisted of a money market account.

5. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:

	December 31,
	2013			2012

Accounts receivable	$	304,551		$	625,310
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(20,526	)		(20,526	)

Accounts receivable, net allowances for doubtful accounts	$	284,025		$	604,784

The allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Balance at Beginning of Year		Charged to Costs and Expenses		Deductions From Reserves		Balance at End of Year
Year Ended December 31, 2013
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	$	20,526	$	-	$	-	$	20,526
Year Ended December 31, 2012
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	$	397,526	$	-	$	377,000	$	20,526

The allowance at January 1, 2012 was primarily for one customer whose payments under a contract were behind schedule. $400,000 was collected from the customer in 2012, and subsequently, $150,000 was collected in 2013.

6. Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Intangible Assets and Depreciation and Amortization

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over the estimated service lives, principally using straight-line methods. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the lease term, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

Equipment and leasehold improvements
Equipment (years)	3	-	5
Furniture and fixtures (years)	3	-	5
Software (years)		3
Leasehold improvements	life or lease term

Intangible assets consist of patents. Patent costs are capitalized until patents are awarded. Upon award, such costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective economic lives. If a patent is denied, all costs are charged to operations in that year.

F-21

7. Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, including Intangible Assets

8. Advertising Expense

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $178,000 and $114,000, respectively.

9. Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue includes customer advances and amounts that have been billed per the contractual terms but have not been recognized as revenue. The majority of these amounts are related to maintenance contracts for which the revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term, which generally is 12 months from the date the customer is delivered the products.

10. Research and Development Expenditures

11. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock (“EPS”)

The Company’s EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuances of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants, when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive. See Note Q - Earnings Per Share “EPS”, for additional information.

12. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 amounted to $81,642 and $49,842 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

F-22

The following table presents share-based compensation expenses for continuing operations included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations:

	Year ended December 31,
	2013		2012

Selling, general and administrative	$	60,151	$	22,502
Research, development and engineering		21,491		27,340
	$	81,642	$	49,842

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 2,350,000 and 600,000 stock options were granted, respectively. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	Year ended December 31,
	2013			2012
Risk free interest rate		0.68	%		0.80	%
Expected life of options (in years)		4.50			4.48
Expected dividends		0	%		0	%
Volatility of stock price		139	%		114	%

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term. The expected term was determined using the simplified method for estimating expected option life, which qualify as “plain-vanilla” options; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

13. Derivative Liabilities

14. Deferred Costs

Costs incurred with obtaining and executing debt arrangements are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.

15. Income Taxes

The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from the differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback, carryforward period available under tax law. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, if it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation, as prescribed by ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes,” includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding historical operating results including recent years with reported losses, the estimated timing of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. Because of the Company’s historical performance and estimated future taxable income, a full valuation allowance has been established.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax provisions in accordance with ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

F-23

16. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 18, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2013-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B—FACTORING

Due from factor consisted of the following as of December 31:

	Original Invoice Value		Factored Amount		Factored Balance due
Year Ended December 31, 2013
Factored accounts receivable	$	9,795	$	7,346	$	2,449
Year Ended December 31, 2012
Factored accounts receivable	$	744,315	$	554,411	$	189,904

As of December 2011, the Company entered into a 24 month accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, the Company, from time to time shall sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor shall then remit 75% of the accounts receivable balance to the Company (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees to be forwarded to the Company once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored, and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. In April 2012, the terms were updated from monthly to quarterly, and the 24-month arrangement was extended to August 1, 2014.

NOTE C—FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from factor, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable - related party, are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature.

The fair value of the warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using the following assumptions:


Risk free interest rate	0.07%	-	1.38%
Expected term	0.25%	-	4.65%
Expected dividends		0
Volatility of stock price	78.0%	-	136.2%

For the anti-dilution features, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo simulation. The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected term and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the derivative.

The warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions about of future activities and the Company’s stock prices and historical volatility as inputs.

F-24

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). There were no assets as of or during the year ended December 31, 2013 and no assets or liabilities as of or during the year ended December 31, 2012 measured using significant unobservable inputs.

NOTE D—CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to risk primarily consist of cash and accounts receivables.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions, which, at times may exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The exposure to the Company is solely dependent upon daily bank balances and the respective strength of the financial institutions. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, amounts in excess of insured limits were $1,534,815 and $0, respectively.

The Company extends credit to customers on an unsecured basis in the normal course of business. The Company’s policy is to perform an analysis of the recoverability of its receivables at the end of each reporting period and to establish allowances where appropriate. The Company analyzes historical bad debts and contract losses, customer concentrations, and customer credit-worthiness when evaluating the adequacy of the allowances.

The 2010 Exchange Agreement

Effective as of December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “2010 Exchange Agreement”) with Colatosti. Pursuant to the 2010 Exchange Agreement, Mr. Colatosti agreed to exchange all of his outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 issued by the Company to Mr. Colatosti in the original principal amount of $64,878 for a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $350,804 (the “Colatosti Note”).

F-27

The 2013 Note Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “InterDigital NPA”) dated February 26, 2013 by and between the Company and DRNC Holdings, Inc. (“DRNC”), the Company issued to DRNC a promissory note in the principal amount of $497,307 (the “InterDigital Note”), which accrued interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with a default rate of 9% per annum while a nonpayment default was continuing.

The InterDigital Note was to mature on December 31, 2015, was secured by a security interest in all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, and was subject to acceleration upon an event of default. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the InterDigital Note were used to repay the Colatosti Note in full, with the remaining proceeds to be used for other general corporate purposes.

On November 22, 2013, the Company repaid in full the $497,307 principal balance and accumulated interest payable due under the InterDigital Note. In connection with the repayment, DRNC's security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets was terminated.

In connection with the InterDigital NPA and InterDigital Note, the Company incurred costs totaling $57,202. Such costs were capitalized and were being amortized over the initial expected term of the InterDigital Note using the effective interest method. Once the InterDigital Note was repaid, the remaining balance of capitalized costs was written off to interest expense.

NOTE K—SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has determined that its continuing operations are one discrete segment consisting of Biometric products. Geographically, North American sales accounted for approximately 97% and 93% of the Company’s total sales for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Issuances of Common Stock

Securities Purchase Agreements dated February 26, 2013

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 26, 2013 by and between the Company and DRNC (the “InterDigital SPA”), the Company issued to DRNC 4,026,935 shares of its common stock at a purchase price $0.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $402,693. DRNC had anti-dilution rights under the InterDigital SPA that required the Company to issue additional shares to DRNC on a full-ratchet basis if the Company, within the nine months following February 26, 2013, sold or issued any common stock or common stock equivalents (other than sales or issuances to directors, officers, employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business for compensation purposes and stock splits and stock dividends payable in respect of the Company’s common stock) having a purchase, exercise or conversion price per share of less than $0.10. No shares were issued under the anti-dilution rights due to subsequent issuances.

Concurrently with the closing of the transactions described above, the Company closed an equity financing with a number of private investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Private Investor SPA”). Pursuant to the Private Investor SPA, the Company issued to such investors 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price $0.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000.

In connection with the share issuances described above, the Company incurred costs of $46,176, which were offset against additional paid-in capital.

The shares of common stock were subject to registration clauses. The Company filed a registration statement on November 22, 2013 and such registration was declared effective on December 31, 2013. See Note M2d.

Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 23, 2013

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 23, 2013, by and between the Company and a number of private and institutional investors (the “July Private Investor SPA”), the Company issued units to such investors consisting of 3,500,006 shares of common stock and 3,500,006 warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $0.30 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $1,050,000. The Investors have anti-dilution rights under the July Private Investors SPA that require the Company to issue additional shares to Investors on an average-weighted basis if the Company, within the six months following July 23, 2013, sells or issues any common stock or common stock equivalents (other than sales or issuances to directors, officers, employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business for compensation purposes and stock splits and stock dividends payable in respect of the Company’s common stock) having a purchase, exercise or conversion price per share of less than $0.30 (see Note M2c below where the anti-dilution rights were triggered). The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.40 per share and have a term of five years. Effective November 22, 2013, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $0.25 per share.

In connection with the share issuances described above, the Company incurred costs of $135,594, including filing costs for the associated Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to the registration rights clause in the July 2013 Private Investors SPA, which were offset against additional paid-in capital.

The shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants were subject to a registration clause. The Company filed a registration statement on November 22, 2013 and such registration was declared effective on December 31, 2013. See Note M2d.

F-29

Based on an evaluation as discussed in FASB ASC 815-15, “Embedded Derivatives” and FASB ASC 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the anti-dilution feature in the common stock issued was not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the anti-dilution feature should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability.

The Company recorded derivative liabilities equal to their estimated fair value of $20,323. Such amount was also recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. As discussed in Item c) below, the down round feature was triggered. As such, the Company marked-to-market the derivative liabilities at the date of issuances. In addition, the Company was required to mark-to-market the derivative liabilities at December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the anti-dilution rights of $93,639. The Company did not value the derivative liability at December 31, 2013. At such date, the Company determined that it was still highly unlikely that an equity financing would occur prior to January 23, 2014, the expiration date of the down round feature. Such conclusion was based upon the discussion noted in Note M2c below.

F-30

As discussed above, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants. Under GAAP, the warrants have to be revalued and a charge recorded if the value of the warrants under the new terms exceeds the value of the warrants under the old terms on the day before the change. No charge was recorded as the value of the “new” warrants was less than the value of the “old” warrants.

Securities Purchase Agreements dated October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013

Pursuant to a series of Private Investors Securities Purchase Agreements (the “PI SPA”), on October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013, the Company issued to certain private investors an aggregate of 24,647,337 units consisting of 24,647,337 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase an additional 24,647,337 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,697,100. Each unit had a purchase price of $0.15 and consisted of one share of common stock and one Warrant. The Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, have a term of three years, and are exercisable on a cashless basis if at any time following the nine month anniversary of the issuance date, there is not an effective registration statement covering the public resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants.

In connection with the share issuances described above, the Company incurred costs of $466,346, including filing costs for the associated Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to the registration rights clause in the October and November 2013 Private Investors SPA, which were offset against additional paid-in capital.

The Company’s cash position after the completion of the PI SPA.

The stock price of the Company’s common stock.

The lack of enough available authorized shares to complete a large offering.

Under GAAP, the Company is required to mark-to-market the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not value the derivative liability at December 31, 2013. At such date, the Company determined that it was still highly unlikely that an equity financing would occur prior to July 8, 2014, the expiration date of the down round feature. Such conclusion was based upon the discussion noted above.

The Shares and shares of common stock underlying the Warrants were subject to a registration rights agreement. The Company filed a registration statement on November 22, 2013 and such registration was declared effective on December 31, 2013. See Note M2d.

F-31

The cashless exercise features contained in the warrants are considered to be derivatives and the Company recorded warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the warrant liabilities equal to their estimated fair value of $325,891. Such amount was also recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The Company is required to mark-to-market the warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise features of $119,184, and as of December 31, 2013, the fair value of the cashless exercise features was $206,707.

The sales of securities in this offering triggered the anti-dilution rights set forth in the July Private Investor SPA. As a result, in connection with the October 25, 2013 closing, the per share purchase price set forth in the July Private Investor SPA was reduced to $0.2722 resulting in the issuance of 357,452 additional shares of common stock. In connection with the November 8, 2013 closing, the per share purchase price set forth in the July Private Investor SPA was further reduced to $0.2684 resulting in the issuance of 54,614 additional shares of common stock.

Registration Statement

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register the public resale of 65,733,688 shares of its common stock from the above 2013 Securities Purchase Agreements, comprised of:

●

On August 15, 2013, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an independent contractor for work associated with the InterDigital Note and InterDigital SPA as additional compensation. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.10 per share and term of three years. The warrant also contains a cashless exercise feature. The Company valued the warrant using the following assumptions: risk free rate of 0.70%, stock price of $0.34, and 134.2% volatility for a total valuation of $89,637. Approximately $50,000 of the value of the warrant was allocated to the InterDigital NPA as deferred financing costs (the balance of which was written off in November 2013 on repayment of the InterDigital Note), and approximately $39,600 was allocated to additional-paid-in-capital for the InterDigital SPA.

The cashless exercise feature contained in the warrant is considered to be a derivative and the Company recorded a warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the warrant liability equal to its estimated fair value of $89,637. The Company is required to mark-to-market the warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $53,267, and as of December 31, 2013, the fair value of the cashless exercise feature was $36,370. On March 11, 2014, the 300,000 warrants were exercised resulting in the cashless issuance of 153,659 shares of common stock.

NOTE O—INCOME TAXES

There was no provision for federal or state taxes as at December 31, 2013.

The Company has deferred taxes due to income tax credits, net operating loss carryforwards, and the effect of temporary differences between the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Significant components of deferred taxes are as follows at December 31:

	2013			2012

Current asset:
Accrued compensation	$	49,000		$	128,000
Accounts receivable allowance		8,000			8,000
Non-current asset (liability):
Stock-based compensation		205,000			336,000
Basis differences in fixed assets		(19,000	)		(10,000	)
Basis differences in intangible assets		(69,000	)		(77,000	)
Net operating loss and credit carryforwards		17,217,000			16,143,000
Valuation allowances		(17,391,000	)		(16,528,000	)

	$	—		$	—

The Company has a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred taxes due to the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to operating loss history of the Company. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income. Similarly, income tax benefits related to stock options exercised have not been recognized in the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $47,600,000 subject to expiration between 2019 and 2033. These net operating loss carryforwards are subject to the limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to changes in the equity ownership of the Company.

A reconciliation of the effective income tax rate on operations reflected in the Statements of Operations to the US Federal statutory income tax rate is presented below.

	2013			2012

US Federal statutory income tax rate		34	%		34	%
Permanent differences		(3	)		831
Effect of net operating loss		(31	)		(865	)

Effective tax rate		—	%		—	%

The Company has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any states in connection with income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The periods from 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination by the IRS and state jurisdictions. The Company believes it is not subject to any tax audit risk beyond those periods. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

F-36

NOTE P—PROFIT SHARING PLAN

Participating employees may elect to defer a portion of their salary on a pre-tax basis up to the limits as provided by the IRS Code. The Company is not required to match employee contributions but may do so at its discretion. The Company made no contributions during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact of their prior or current service to the corporation as a director or officer, in accordance with the provisions of Section 145, which are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The indemnity may cover expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Section 145 permits corporations to pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by directors and officers in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in their capacity as a director or officer, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the director or officer against such liability under Section 145.

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that, unless otherwise required under applicable law, (1) a director shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, and (2) we shall indemnify any director or officer made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact of such person’s current or prior service as a director or officer of the Company, any predecessor of the Company or any other enterprise per the Company’s or any predecessor to the Company’s request.

Our bylaws provide that (a) we shall indemnify and hold harmless our directors and officers to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the DGCL against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation, (b) we shall advance expenses incurred by any director or officer prior to the final disposition of any proceeding to which the director or officer was or is or is threatened to be made a party promptly following a request therefore, subject to certain limited requirements, and (c) the rights conferred in our Bylaws are not exclusive.

We have also obtained insurance policies covering our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Over the past several years, we have issued and sold the following securities without registration under the Securities Act:

On December 31, 2010, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with The Shaar Fund Ltd. (“Shaar”) and Thomas J.

In addition, we issued warrants to the placement agent to purchase an aggregate of 1,971,786 shares of common stock.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
