−Removed: cloud-based software portal.
−Removed: GPS locations of the scans of inspectors and end users are captured for the brand owner to monitor.
−Removed: this software is integrated with “iot”, NFC, RFID, SAP enterprise systems.
−Removed: In addition, we have the ability to broadcast
−Removed: Bluetooth signals from our handheld light sensor device when our RainbowSecure®
−Removed: Ink is found on a product or label.
−Removed: This signal then
−Removed: triggers a GPS location to be recorded in the cloud-based VeriPAS™
−Removed: software application.
−Removed: Together, the handheld light sensor device
−Removed: and the smartphone attachment authenticator provide the brand owner the ability to monitor their inspector team activities thru the VeriPAS™
−Removed: Another feature of our digital technologies is
−Removed: the ability for the brand owner to gather rich business intelligence and engage with the consumer using our authentication test as the
−Removed: initial contact with the consumer.
−Removed: For example, consumers can simply scan a visible unique code generated by the VeriPAS™
−Removed: that is printed on labels and packages using their smartphone camera.
−Removed: Once the consumer scans the code, an instant authenticity check
−Removed: is made using algorithms stored in the cloud to determine the products authenticity on a multiple of factors.
−Removed: Once this test is completed,
−Removed: the brand owner can then engage with the consumer by providing marketing materials, videos, discount coupons, product specifications,
−Removed: or cross sell other products with this consumer engagement software we provide to the brand owner in the cloud-based VeriPAS™
−Removed: COVID-19 Pandemic
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted businesses and
−Removed: affected production and sales across a range of industries, as well as caused volatility in the financial markets, which negatively impacted
−Removed: our results of operations for 2020, and could further negatively impact our sales and results of operations.
−Removed: The full extent of the impact
−Removed: of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customer demand, sales and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including, among
−Removed: other things, the duration and spread of the outbreak, the effectiveness of vaccines, and the impact on our customers and employees, all
−Removed: of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
−Removed: Please see Item 1A, “Risk Factors- Risks Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic”
−Removed: in this Report for additional information regarding certain risks associated with the pandemic.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major
−Removed: spike in demand for safety products such as masks and gloves, COVID-19 test kits, medications and vaccines to treat the virus,
−Removed: which we believe has further caused an increase in counterfeit products.
−Removed: Our suite of technology solutions for global manufacturers,
−Removed: distributors and sellers are designed to allow consumers to prove authenticity and we have proactively reached out to global manufacturers
−Removed: who are seeking to provide their customers authenticity in their products.
−Removed: We believe we have a dynamic management and sales team
−Removed: in place with the ability to seamlessly work remotely to minimize any operational disruption.
−Removed: In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic,
−Removed: sales conferences and other in-person sales events have been curtailed.
−Removed: This has resulted in a reduction of our sales-related transportation
−Removed: costs and limited our in-person sales efforts.
−Removed: However, during these challenging times, we have expanded our sales and marketing
−Removed: team and made changes to our social media branding strategy.
−Removed: We continue to work with our sales representatives to look for alternative
−Removed: ways to communicate effectively and promote sales both with our customers and potential customers.
−Removed: Further, we anticipate that as a result
−Removed: of the COVID-19 pandemic, our customers may require that their programs be cancelled, delayed or reduced.
−Removed: We will continue to work
−Removed: in partnership with our customers to continually assess any potential impacts and opportunities to mitigate risk.

−Removed: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020
−Removed: was $343 thousand, a 40% increase compared to $245 thousand, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: increase in revenue primarily related to an increase in security printing with our authentication serialization technology for two large
−Removed: global brand owners.
−Removed: Gross profit for the years ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020 and 2019, was $281 thousand and $200 thousand, respectively.
−Removed: The resulting gross margin was 81.9% for the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020, compared to 81.6% for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: This was a result of more efficient usage of our RainbowSecure®
−Removed: invisible ink.
−Removed: We believe our high gross profit margins demonstrate our business model’s ability to generate profitable growth.
−Removed: General and Administrative Expenses
−Removed: General and administrative expenses were
−Removed: $2,151 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,359 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019,
−Removed: an increase of $792 thousand.
−Removed: The increase related primary to non-cash stock-based compensation expense, public company related
−Removed: costs, including investor relations and filing fees associated with our Nasdaq listing, and an increase in amortization and depreciation.
−Removed: Legal and Accounting
−Removed: Legal and accounting fees increased to
−Removed: $324 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $246 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: increase related primarily to an increase in legal fees due to our securities offerings, more contract related work and other projects.
−Removed: Payroll Expenses
−Removed: Payroll expenses increased to $704 thousand
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $469 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $235 thousand.

−Removed: and an increase in the salaries of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
−Removed: Research and Development
−Removed: Research and development expenses increased by
−Removed: $14 thousand to $19 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $5 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.

−Removed: to an Ethereum decentralized block-chain platform for our supply chain monitoring, and authentication platform.
−Removed: Sales and Marketing
−Removed: Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2020 were $651 thousand compared to $553 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $98 thousand.
−Removed: increase is related to an expansion of our sales and marketing team which increased costs by approximately $150 thousand, charges related
−Removed: to our social media and branding of approximately $150 thousand, offset by lower share-based compensation costs of $135 thousand and lower
−Removed: costs due to a decrease in trade shows primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: We expect that travel related expenses will increase
−Removed: in 2021 and beyond, to the extent the COVID-19 pandemic subsides and in-person sales and marketing events resume.
−Removed: Operating Loss
−Removed: Operating loss for the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2020 was $3,568 thousand, an increase of $1,136 thousand, compared to $2,432 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: primarily related to an increase in public company related costs, including costs associated with our Nasdaq listing, an expansion of
−Removed: our sales and marketing department, and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation that was partially offset by increases in revenue.
−Removed: Our net loss increased
−Removed: $3,395 thousand to $5,902 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $2,507 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: The increase was primarily due to amortization of debt discount related to our 2020 senior secured convertible debentures (the
−Removed: “2020 Debentures”) included in interest expense, and loss on extinguishment of debt related to our 2019 senior secured
−Removed: convertible debentures (the “2019 Debentures”).
−Removed: The resulting loss per share for the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2020 was $1.48 per share, compared to $1.17 per share for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Liquidity and Capital Resources

−Removed: by $702 thousand to $2,281 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,579 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: increase resulted primarily in increases due to salaries, increased legal fees, increased public related costs, an expansion of our sales
−Removed: and marketing team, and the initiation of our social branding and marketing campaign.
−Removed: Net cash used in investing activities was
−Removed: $125 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $302 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: in investing activities related to lower capitalized software costs and equipment held for lease, offset by an increase in expenses
−Removed: related to patents.
−Removed: Net cash provided by financing activities
−Removed: increased by $9,631 thousand to $10,092 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $461 thousand for the year ended December
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2020, we redeemed the convertible debt issued to two investors in September
−Removed: 2019 for a total of $750 thousand.
−Removed: In the first quarter of 2020, we raised $1,992 thousand in gross proceeds from the 2020 Debentures
−Removed: for net proceeds of $1,747 thousand.
−Removed: In the second quarter of 2020, as part of our public offering, we raised approximately $10,000,000
−Removed: in gross proceeds and received net proceeds of $9,023 thousand, including the exercise of the over-allotment option resulting in
−Removed: gross proceeds of approximately $232 thousand.
−Removed: On May 17, 2020, we entered into a paycheck
−Removed: protection program term note for $72 thousand (the “SBA Loan”) with PNC Bank, N.A.
−Removed: under the recently enacted Coronavirus
−Removed: Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”),
−Removed: which is administered by the U.S.
−Removed: Small Business Administration.
−Removed: The SBA Loan is scheduled to mature on May 17, 2022, bears interest
−Removed: at a rate of 1.00% per annum and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the U.S.
−Removed: Small Business
−Removed: Administration under the CARES Act.
−Removed: Pursuant to the CARES Act and the PPP, all or a portion of the principal amount of the SBA
−Removed: Loan is subject to forgiveness so long as, over the eight-week period following the receipt by the Company of the proceeds of the
−Removed: SBA Loan, the Company uses those proceeds for payroll costs, payment on rent obligations, utility costs, and costs of certain employee
−Removed: benefits as per Section 1106 of the CARES Act.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, the amount outstanding on the SBA Loan was $72 thousand
−Removed: classified as Long-Term Liabilities and included in the accompanying Balance Sheets.
−Removed: In November 2020,
−Removed: we announced a share repurchase program to spend up to $1.5 million to repurchase shares of our common stock over the next nine
−Removed: To date, no shares have been purchased but the Company reserves the right to make purchases at any time under the terms
−Removed: set out in this program.
−Removed: The accompanying financial statements and
−Removed: notes have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2019 we suffered from
−Removed: recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, resulting in substantial doubt about our ability to continue
−Removed: as a going concern and a need for, among other things, capital resources.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $253 thousand
−Removed: and disclosed that our ability to continue as a going concern was predicated on our ability to raise capital and to sustain adequate
−Removed: working capital to finance our operations.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2020, we raised working capital to finance our operations
−Removed: sufficient to mitigate any substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern which is more fully described in
−Removed: Note 1 –
−Removed: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes accompanying the financial statements.
−Removed: On February 12, 2021, as part of our public offering
−Removed: of an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of common stock, we generated aggregate gross proceeds of $9.2 million and net proceeds of $8.5 million,
−Removed: less underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option resulting
−Removed: in gross proceeds of $530 thousand.
−Removed: We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with the net proceeds from this offering,
−Removed: will fund our operations through 2025.
−Removed: While we expect revenues to increase, we
−Removed: expect continued negative cash flows as we incur increased costs associated with expanding our business.
−Removed: We expect to continue
−Removed: to fund our operations primarily through utilization of our current financial resources, future revenue, and through the issuance
−Removed: of debt or equity.
−Removed: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: Our financial statements are impacted by
−Removed: the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation.
−Removed: We have identified
−Removed: below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations
−Removed: and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
−Removed: We believe estimates and assumptions related
−Removed: to these critical accounting policies are appropriate under the circumstances;
−Removed: however, should future events or occurrences result
−Removed: in unanticipated consequences, there could be a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations or cash
−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: Our revenue transactions include sales of our canisters, software,
−Removed: licensing, pre-printed labels, integrated solutions and leasing of our equipment.
−Removed: We recognize revenue based on the principals
−Removed: established in ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”
−Removed: Revenue recognition is made when our performance
−Removed: obligation is satisfied.
−Removed: Our terms vary based on the solutions we offer and are examined on a case by case basis.
−Removed: For licensing
−Removed: of our RainbowSecure®
−Removed: technology we depend on the integrity of our clients’
−Removed: Stock-based Compensation
−Removed: We account for stock-based compensation
−Removed: under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition
−Removed: of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant
−Removed: We estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.
−Removed: The assumptions used
−Removed: in the Black-Scholes option pricing model include risk-free interest rates, expected volatility and expected life of the stock
−Removed: Changes in these assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair value stock-based compensation, and the compensation
−Removed: expense recorded in future periods.
−Removed: The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
−Removed: expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.
−Removed: We account for stock-based compensation
−Removed: awards to non-employees in accordance with ASU No.
−Removed: 2018-07, Compensation –
−Removed: Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718):
−Removed: to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued
−Removed: to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions.
−Removed: This update supersedes
−Removed: previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity –
−Removed: Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
−Removed: All issuances of stock options or other
−Removed: equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the
−Removed: fair value of the equity instruments issued.
−Removed: Non-employee equity-based payments are recorded as an expense over the service period,
−Removed: as if we had paid cash for the services.
−Removed: At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to vesting or prior to the completion
−Removed: of the services, the fair value of the equity-based payments will be re-measured and the non-cash expense recognized during the
−Removed: period will be adjusted accordingly.
−Removed: Since the fair value of equity-based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change
−Removed: in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurements until the equity-based payments are fully
−Removed: vested or the service completed.
