Annual Report
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data, the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this registration statement. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this registration statement. We use terms such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
General
Incorporated in 2002, SmartMetric and its founder and CEO, Colin Hendrick, have been engaged in research and development of a biometric security solution which would authenticate the identity of a person in a self-contained credit card-sized device. SmartMetric's biometric card has been designed to use an on-board finger print sensor which is imbedded in the card along with an integrated circuit chip which will provide one gigabyte of memory capacity. SmartMetric has recently completed a prototype of its card but has not yet begun to manufacture the biometric cards utilizing its licensed technology. To date, SmartMetric has had no sales revenues.
A prototype of our biometric card was completed in February 2005 and we have been adjusting and developing software for the card since that date. The finished product will be the prototype or model for our biometric cards, which will be manufactured upon receipt of customer orders. We are in the process of revising some of the engineering of the prototype so as to decrease the size of the circuitry contained in the card. We expect that the revised prototype will be completed by January 2010.
We expect to outsource manufacturing of our biometric cards once we have sales orders. We do not intend to purchase any plants or significant equipment. Because SmartMetric does not own or rent a manufacturing facility, we will enter into a contract with a manufacturing facility to produce our biometric cards. Although we have engaged in preliminary negotiations with two potential manufacturers, no contract has been signed.
We currently have three full time employees, including Colin Hendrick, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Once we have begun to generate sales, we intend to hire additional employees.
SmartMetric does not believe its business is seasonal in any way.
