NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Rule S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2013 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Business and Basis of Presentation

On September 16, 2002, Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Effective December 17, 2008, the Company reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. The Company is principally devoted to developing DNA embedded biotechnology security solutions in the United States and Europe. To date, the Company has had a limited operating history, and as a result, its operations have produced limited recurring revenues from its services and products; it has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a biotechnology company. For the period from inception through March 31, 2014, the Company has accumulated losses of $195,735,697.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Applied DNA Operations Management, Inc., APDN (B.V.I.) Inc. and Applied DNA Sciences Europe Limited, which currently have no operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most complex and subjective estimates include; recoverability of long-lived assets, including the value assigned to intangible assets and property and equipment, fair value calculations for warrants, contingencies and allowance for doubtful accounts. Management reviews its estimates on a regular basis and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and/or service has been performed; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered or services provided and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered, service has not been provided, or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered, the service has been provided, or no refund will be required. At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $415,989 and $148,503, respectively.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition , continued

Revenue arrangements with multiple components are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered component has stand-alone value to the customer. Consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their respective selling prices. The selling price for each unit is based on vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, if available, third party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third party is available. The applicable revenue recognition criteria are then applied to each of the units.

Revenue for a government contract award, which supports our development efforts on specific projects, is recognized as milestones are achieved as per the contract. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $25,000 and $50,000 from this contract award during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $36,757 and $62,415, respectively. The Company writes off receivables that are deemed uncollectible. The Company wrote-off $16,801 and $41,801, respectively, of accounts receivable that was previously reserved for during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes include, but not limited to, accounting for intangibles, warrants, equity based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. During the year ended September 30, 2013 and the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred losses from operations. Based upon these results and the trends in the Company’s performance projected for the remainder of fiscal year 2014, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize any benefit from the deferred tax assets recorded by the Company in previous periods. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in New York as “major” tax jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s evaluation was performed for tax years 2009 through 2012. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. It is the Company’s policy to accrue interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax provision. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property Plant and Equipment

Property plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for computer equipment, lab equipment and furniture is 3 to 5 years and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term. Property plant and equipment consist of:

Accumulated depreciation		575,507		409,629
Property and equipment, net	$	647,492	$	695,995

Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014 was $83,864 and $165,878, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013 was $21,830 and $42,825, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Segment Information

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). ASC 280 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s single principal operating segment.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company presents loss per share utilizing a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share includes no dilution and has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fully diluted shares outstanding were 951,183,299 and 939,779,709 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively.

Fully diluted shares outstanding were 813,157,960 and 797,751,816 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013, respectively.

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation costs is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified in cash flows from financing activities. The future realization of the reserved deferred tax assets related to these tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options will result in a credit to additional paid in capital if the related tax deduction reduces taxes payable. The Company has elected the “with and without approach” regarding ordering of windfall tax benefits to determine whether the windfall tax benefit did reduce taxes payable in the current year. Under this approach, the windfall tax benefit would be recognized in additional paid-in-capital only if an incremental tax benefit is realized after considering all other benefits presently available. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014 were $547,784 and $1,313,331, respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013 were $455,157 and $873,023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014, 192,484,972 employee stock options were outstanding with options to purchase 131,107,972 shares vested and exercisable.

Concentrations

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

The Company’s revenues earned from sale of products and services for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 included an aggregate of 16% from one customer of the Company’s total revenues. During the six month period ended March 31, 2014 no customers represented 10% or greater of the Company’s total revenues.

The Company’s revenues earned from the sale of products and services for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013 included an aggregate of 66% and 59% from one and four customers of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

Three customers accounted for 61% and 43% of the Company’s total accounts receivable at March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the ASC 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”). Under ASC 730, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $359,782 and $176,485 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $819,086 and $324,151 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Advertising

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes its intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. The estimated useful life for patents is five years while other intellectual property uses a seven year useful life. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of the Company’s intangible assets are subject to amortization.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and warrants. The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, approximate its fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related asset or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

As of March 31, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels.

The fair value of each warrant is estimated using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Significant observable and unobservable inputs include stock price, exercise price, annual risk free rate, term, and expected volatility, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. An increase or decrease in volatility, in isolation, can significantly increase or decrease the fair value of the warrant. See Note H.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management concluded that no subsequent events required disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B – LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

The Company has recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $195,735,697 as of March 31, 2014. The Company incurred a net loss of $9,042,086 and generated negative operating cash flow of $4,262,536 for the six month period ended March 31, 2014. However, the Company has attained positive working capital of $967,081 as of March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,988,184. The Company’s current capital resources include cash and cash equivalents and other working capital resources, and cash generated through operations. Historically, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities.

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon future revenues, obtaining additional capital and ultimately, upon the Company attaining profitable operations. The Company will require additional funds to complete the continued development of its products, product manufacturing, and to fund expected additional losses from operations, until revenues are sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining the necessary additional financing, it will most likely be forced to reduce operations.

Management believes that it will be able to raise additional funds and the Company is currently in discussions with investment bankers and potential investors regarding possible financing. However, the Company has no formal commitments for any future funding, and may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to it, if at all, in the future.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraphs . The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Employment Agreement

The Company has an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer as disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. In addition to the estimated loss, the recorded liability includes probable and estimable legal costs associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business.

Demodulation, Inc. v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc., et al. (Civil Action No. 2:11-00296-WJM-MF, District of New Jersey):

On May 18, 2011, the Company was served with a complaint in a lawsuit brought by Demodulation, Inc. against the Company, Corning Incorporated, Alfred University, and Alfred Technology Resources, Inc. On July 8, 2011, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In response, on August 3, 2011, Demodulation filed an amended complaint. Demodulation alleged that it was unable to bring its microwire technology to market due to the wrongful acts of defendants, who allegedly conspired to steal Demodulation’s trade secrets and other intellectual property and to interfere in its business opportunities. Of the seventeen claims alleged in the amended complaint, five were asserted against the Company, including alleged misappropriation of trade secrets, antitrust violations, civil RICO, and patent infringement. The Company believes these claims are without merit.

On January 27, 2012, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim and on other grounds. On December 12, 2012, the Court entered an order on the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion, dismissing four out of the five claims asserted against the Company, without prejudice, leaving only the patent infringement claim. Subsequently, the parties stipulated to sever the patent infringement claim against the Company from the claims against the other defendants. The Court entered an order severing the patent claim on February 20, 2013, and terminated the main lawsuit against the Company. Demodulation may seek to re-file its patent claim as a separate action, but to date has not done so. If Demodulation re-files its action, the Company intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company is unable to express an opinion with respect to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss if the outcome should be unfavorable, should Demodulation re-file its action, or whether it will re-file it.

SmartWater, Ltd. v. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (Civil Action No. 12-05731-JS-AKT, Eastern District of New York)

On June 6, 2012, a complaint for patent infringement was filed against the Company by SmartWater, Ltd. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. It alleged that the Company infringed one or more claims under two of SmartWater’s patents by selling or offering for sale, manufacturing and using certain of the Company’s products, by inducing others to infringe and by contributing to infringement by others. Prior to serving the complaint, on August 24, 2012, SmartWater voluntarily dismissed the complaint and refiled a similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, No. 12-611660-DMM. On August 30, 2012, SmartWater served the Company with the complaint. The refiled complaint seeks injunctive relief with respect to one of the patents as well as awards of damages and attorneys’ fees with respect to the alleged infringement of both patents.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(unaudited)

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued

The Company filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On November 19, 2012, the Court granted the Company’s motion to transfer. Following the transfer, but prior to a decision on the Company’s motion to dismiss, on June 26, 2013, SmartWater moved for leave to file an amended complaint asserting additional allegations in support of its claims. By memorandum and order dated September 27, 2013, the Court granted in part, and denied in part, SmartWater’s motion. The Court held that SmartWater had adequately stated claims for direct infringement of both patents at issue, but had not adequately stated claims for contributory infringement of the patents, or induced infringement with respect to one of the patents, and therefore dismissed them. On October 10, 2013, the Company filed its (i) answer to the amended complaint, as modified by the Court’s September 27, 2013 order, and (ii) counterclaims. On October 31, 2013, the Company filed an amended answer and counterclaims. The Company and SmartWater have filed motions for reconsideration of a portion of the Court’s order. These motions seek a determination of whether SmartWater’s remaining claim for induced infringement of one of the patents should survive, or be dismissed because the patent expired before the Company had notice of it. In addition, the parties are now engaged in discovery. On January 10, 2014, the Company filed a second amended answer and counterclaims to which SmartWater replied on January 24, 2014.

The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. We are unable to express our opinion with respect to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss if the outcome should be unfavorable.

NOTE H - FAIR VALUE

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate estimated fair values because of their short maturities.

The carrying value of the warrant liability is determined using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model as described in Note A. Certain assumptions used in the calculation of the warrant liability represent level-3 unobservable inputs. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of March 31, 2014.

The following table summarizes the activity of Level 3 inputs measured on a recurring basis:


Fair Value Measurements of Common Stock Warrants Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	Six Months Ended March 31,
	2014				2013
Balance at October 1, 2012 and 2013	$	2,643,449		$	—
Issuance of Series A and B Warrants		—			1,181,324
Adjustment resulting from change in value recognized in earnings (a)		2,178,859			6,852,518
Reclassification to equity upon exercise		(2,455,042	)		—
Balance at March 31,	$	2,367,266		$	8,033,842

(a) Adjustment resulting from change in fair value is the amount of total gains or losses for the period attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to liabilities held at the reporting date. The unrealized gain or loss is recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Item 2. - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere within this report. The Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, including statements using terminology such as “can”, “may”, “believe”, “designed to”, “will”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

●	discuss our future expectations;
●	contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and
●	state other “forward-looking” information.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors,” “Business” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. All forward-looking statements and risk factors included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date thereof, and we assume no obligations to update any forward-looking statement or risk factor, unless we are required to do so by law.

Introduction

Using biotechnology as a forensic foundation, we create unique security solutions addressing the challenges of modern commerce. Whether working in supply chain security, brand protection or law enforcement applications, it is our goal to help establish secure flourishing environments that foster quality, integrity and success. With impenetrable taggants, high-resolution DNA authentication, and comprehensive reporting, our botanical DNA-based technologies are designed to deliver what we believe to be the greatest levels of security, deterrence and legal recourse strength.

SigNature ® DNA . SigNature DNA is our platform ingredient, at the core of all our security solutions. From application to application the vehicle which carries SigNature DNA is custom designed to suit the application. Exhaustive development efforts have yielded a flexible and durable marker with all the accuracy provided by nature. SigNature DNA is based on full, double stranded plant DNA, and provides forensic power and protection for a wide array of applications. Highly secure, robust, durable and, in our belief, cost-effective, SigNature DNA markers are an ingredient that can be used to fortify brand protection efforts; mark, track and convict criminals; and strengthen supply chain security. Custom DNA sequences can be embedded into a wide range of host carriers including ink, varnish, thread, laminates and metal coatings. These items can then be tested for the presence of SigNature DNA Markers through an instant field detection or a forensic level authentication. Hundreds of millions of SigNature DNA marks now exist in the public domain on items ranging from consumer product packaging to microcircuits to guitars. We believe that no marks have ever been copied.

SigNature DNA, SigNature T™ DNA, fiberTyping®, DNANet® and digitalDNA®, our principal anti-counterfeiting and product authentication solutions and our recently introduced Counterfeit Prevention Authentication Program can be used in numerous industries, including microcircuits and other electronics, cash-in-transit (transport and storage of banknotes), homeland security, textiles and apparel, identity cards and other secure documents, law enforcement, pharmaceuticals, wine, and luxury consumer goods.

SigNature T DNA and fiberTyping . There is one common thread that runs through the global textile industry: success breeds counterfeiting and diversion. SigNature T botanical DNA markers are used for brand protection efforts and raw material source compliance programs. In situations where natural fibers like cotton or wool are in play, we can isolate and type inherent DNA, making it possible to verify the presence of specified materials. This fiberTyping process provides DNA verification to help manufacturers, retailers and brand owners ensure quality, safety and compliance of their products.

DNANet. Recognizing that DNA-based evidence is the cornerstone of the modern era of law enforcement, we have created what we believe to be the ultimate crime fighting tool: DNANet, a botanical DNA marker that can be used to definitively link evidence and offenders to specific crime scenes. Whether deployed as a residential asset marker, an offender spray in a retail location or a degradation dye in cash handling boxes, DNA markers facilitate conviction, and establish a heightened level of deterrence. SmartDNA is a unique and patented security system based on botanical DNA, a new and effective crime protection system for stores, warehouses, banks, pharmacies, ATMs and the protection of valuables. The system contains a water-based, non-toxic spray which may be triggered during a crime, marking the perpetrator and remaining on their person for weeks after the crime. Each SmartDNA product is designed to be unique to each store, warehouse or sting operation, allowing the police and prosecutors to link criminals to the crimes. Assets acquired from RedWeb Technologies including Sentry 500 Intruder Spray Systems and Advanced Molecular Taggant Technology and our SmartDNA product line are now included in the DNANet family of products.

digitalDNA. digitalDNA is a new security solution that utilizes the flexibility of mobile communications, the instant accessibility of secure, cloud-based data, and the absolute certainty of DNA to make item tracking and authentication fast, easy and definitive, while providing the opportunity to create a new customer interface. digitalDNA begins with a DNA-secured form of the QR (“quick read”) code or other two dimensional code. A unique serial code is created for each article, and represented in an easy-to-read QR style barcode. The product uses forensic authentication of a botanical DNA marker, sequence-encrypted within a secure QR code, and physically included within the ink used to digitally print the code. Should there ever be a question about the validity of a digitalDNA code; a laboratory-based analysis can be conducted to determine authenticity.

The unique digitalDNA codes can be used to mark, identify and track virtually any item. Each item’s unique digitalDNA code is recorded, at its point of origin, on a secure, cloud-based server, affording easy validation/inquiry/input using an iPhone or mobile computer.

Counterfeit Prevention Authentication Program. We recently announced the launch of a new turnkey program for electronics, military, commercial, and aerospace contractors called the Counterfeit Prevention Authentication Program (“CPA” Program). The program empowers end-users to verify the originality or provenance of parts which have been marked by their suppliers with our SigNature DNA Markers.

Plan of Operations

General

To date, the substantial portion of our revenues has been generated from sales of Signature DNA and fiberTyping, our principal anti-counterfeiting and product authentication solutions. We expect to continue to grow revenues from sales of our SigNature DNA platform ingredient, our fibertyping, DNANet, and digitalDNA offerings and the Counterfeit Prevention Authentication Program. We have continued to incur expenses in expanding our laboratory and office facilities and increasing our personnel to meet current and anticipated future demand. We have limited sources of liquidity. We have developed or are currently attempting to develop business in the following target markets: microcircuits and other electronics, homeland security, cash-in-transit, textile and apparel authentication, secure documents, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, law enforcement, fine wine, art and collectibles, and digital and recording media. Our developments in the semiconductor authentication, cash-in-transit and textile and apparel authentication have contributed to the increase in our revenues. We intend to pursue both domestic and international sales opportunities in each of these vertical markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

The accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:

●	Revenue recognition;
●	Allowance for doubtful accounts; and
●	Equity based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and/or service has been performed; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered or services provided and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered, service hasn’t been provided, or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered, service has been performed, or no refund will be required. At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $415,989 and $148,503, respectively.

Revenue for a government contract award, which supports our development efforts on specific projects, is recognized as milestones under the contract are achieved as per the contract. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $25,000 and $50,000 from this contract during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively.

Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $36,757 and $62,415, respectively. The Company writes off receivables that are deemed uncollectible. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, the Company wrote-off $16,801 and $41,801, respectively, of accounts receivable that was previously reserved.

Equity Based Compensation

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718, Compensation (“ASC 718”) which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Remediation of Weakness in Internal Controls

We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2014 as the result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014, that was not yet remediated as of March 31, 2014. The material weakness, which arose primarily due to the need for more enhanced and formalized documentation and procedures regarding the financial statement closing and review process, is further described in Item 4 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are taking the following steps to remediate this material weakness and to improve our disclosure controls and procedures:

Our CEO has appointed a Sarbanes-Oxley project leadership team, consisting of our CFO and our Controller, that will oversee the project;

Together with a consultant that we have engaged, we have enhanced our review procedures and the documentation thereof; and

We have implemented these enhanced procedures as we prepared our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we generated $637,146 and $344,605, respectively, in revenues from operations. The increase in revenues of $292,541 or 85% was primarily from revenue related to a term sheet entered into with a provider of polyolefins where the Company has agreed to cooperate in the development and supply of markers and related additives for polyolefin products, as well as an increase in sales to suppliers of the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) and to the textile industry.

Costs and Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $543,332 or 20% from $2,754,407 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $3,297,739 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to higher salary expense of approximately $200,000 due to an increase in headcount from 38 as of March 31, 2013 to 52 as of March 31, 2014. The increase in the number of employees compared to the same period in the prior year was due to an increase for production, sales, information technology and finance, to meet the anticipated future demand for sales. In addition, the increase in salary expense is also attributable to commissions for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 of approximately $30,000. The increase is also due to an increase in stock based compensation of approximately $150,000. Rent and related utilities expense increased by approximately $90,000 as a result of the larger office space and the Company now paying its utilities as compared to them being included as part of the rent during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. Legal fees also increased by approximately $70,000.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased to $359,782 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $176,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of $183,297 or 104% is attributable to the increased laboratory space with our new corporate headquarters as well as an increase in research and development to support the expansion of the Company’s business and markets. In particular, we have multiple workstreams in progress toward a launch of new products for field detection and reading of optical marks which use the SigNature DNA ingredient.

Depreciation and Amortization

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, depreciation and amortization increased by $84,980 from $21,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $106,810 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is attributable to depreciation and amortization expense for the leasehold improvements and lab equipment purchased during the second half of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 related to the relocation of our corporate offices. The increase also relates to amortization for the intellectual property purchased from RedWeb Technologies during May 2013.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased to $3,764,331 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $2,952,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, or an increase of $811,609 or 27% primarily attributable to an increase in payroll, stock based compensation expense and in R&D expenditures, as described above.

Gain (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Gain (Loss) from change in fair value of warrant liability during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was a gain of $455,899 and a loss of ($519,919), respectively. These changes in fair value relate to warrants containing certain reset provisions which required us to classify them as liabilities and mark the warrants to market and record the change in fair value at each reporting period as a non cash adjustment to our current period operations.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased to $2,750,436 from a net loss of $3,127,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily attributable to factors described above.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Revenues

For the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we generated $1,234,500 and $662,275, respectively, in revenues from operations. The increase in revenues of $572,225 or 86% was primarily from an increase in sales to suppliers of the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) of approximately $390,000 as well as revenues related to a term sheet entered into with a provider of polyolefins where the Company has agreed to cooperate in the development and supply of markers and related additives for polyolefin products. To a lesser extent, the increase relates to a higher level of sales in the textile industry.

Costs and Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $1,867,743 or 35% from $5,275,574 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 to $7,143,317 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in payroll of approximately $515,000 due to an increase in headcount from 38 as of March 31, 2013 to 52 as of March 31, 2014. The increase in the number of employees compared to the same period in the prior year was due to an increase for production, sales, information technology and finance, to meet the anticipated future demand for sales. In addition, the increase in salary expense is also attributable to the options granted during December 2013 and February 2014, which vested immediately for a total expense of approximately $480,000. The increase is also due to shares of Common Stock issued to a consultant for settlement of their fees during the three months ended December 31, 2013 for $337,500. Rent and related utilities expense increased by approximately $170,000 as a result of the larger office space and the Company now paying its utilities as compared to them being included as part of the rent during the six month period ended March 31, 2013. Legal fees also increased by approximately $130,000.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased to $819,086 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 from $324,151 for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of $494,935 or 153% is attributable to the increased laboratory space with our new corporate headquarters as well as an increase in research and development to support the expansion of the Company’s business and markets. In particular, we have multiple workstreams in progress toward a launch of new products for field detection and reading of optical marks which use the SigNature DNA ingredient.

Depreciation and Amortization

In the six months ended March 31, 2014, depreciation and amortization increased by $169,200 from $42,825 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 to $212,025 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is attributable to depreciation and amortization expense for the leasehold improvements and lab equipment purchased during the second half of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 related to the relocation of our corporate offices. The increase also relates to amortization for the intellectual property purchased from RedWeb Technologies during May 2013.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased to $8,174,428 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 from $5,642,550 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, or an increase of $2,531,878 or 45% primarily attributable to an increase in payroll expense and in R&D expenditures, as described above.

Loss from Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Loss from change in fair value of warrant liability during the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,178,859 and $6,852,518, respectively. These losses relate to warrants containing certain reset provisions which required us classify them as liabilities and mark the warrants to market and record the change in fair value at each reporting period as a non cash adjustment to our current period operations.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased to $9,042,086 from a net loss of $11,832,388 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 primarily attributable to factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs consist of our working capital requirements and research and development expenditure funding. As of March 31, 2014, we had working capital of $967,081. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, we generated a net cash flow deficit from operating activities of $4,262,536 consisting primarily of our loss of $9,042,086, net with non-cash adjustments of $212,025 in depreciation and amortization charges, $1,313,331 for equity based compensation, $2,178,859 change in fair value of warrant liability, $337,500 in common stock issued for consulting services and $16,144 of bad debt expense. Additionally, we had a net decrease in operating assets of $109,633 and a net increase in operating liabilities of $612,058. Cash used in investing activities was $109,581 for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. There were no financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

We expect capital expenditures to be less than $750,000 in fiscal 2014. Our primary investments will be in laboratory equipment to support prototyping, manufacturing, our authentication services and outside services for our detector and reader development.

Substantially all of the real property used in our business is leased under operating lease agreements.

Subsequent Events

None.

Product Research and Development

We anticipate spending approximately $1,200,000 for product research and development activities during the next twelve months.

Acquisition of Plant and Equipment and Other Assets

We do not anticipate the sale of any material property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months.

Number of Employees

We currently have forty-eight full-time employees and four part-time employees, including five in management, eight in research and development, four in forensics, six in quality assurance, five in finance and accounting, eight in operations, nine in sales and marketing, one in human resources, two administrative, two in information services and two in investor relations and communications. We expect to increase our staffing dedicated to sales, manufacturing and production, and forensic authentication services. Expenses related to travel, marketing, salaries, and general overhead will be increased as necessary to support our growth in revenue. In order for us to attract and retain quality personnel, we anticipate we will have to offer competitive salaries and benefits to future employees. We anticipate that it may become desirable to add additional full and or part time employees to discharge certain critical functions during the next 12 months. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and obtain sources of financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional costs for personnel. In June 2012 we began working with Insperity Inc. to help us manage many of our back-end administrative human resources and payroll responsibilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

Item 3 . - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk .

There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk as previously disclosed under Part I, Item 3 in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as amended, for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2013. Please refer to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (filed with the SEC on May 2, 2014) for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4 . - Controls and Procedures .

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms due to a deficiency in our disclosure controls that was determined to be a material weakness, as described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The specific material weakness identified by the Company’s management as of September 30, 2013, which was not yet remediated as of March 31, 2014 is described as follows:

Our management determined that, as of September 30, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were not effective, due to the need for more enhanced and formalized documentation and procedures regarding the financial statement closing and review process to ensure that the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the presentation of disclosures in the Company’s financial statements is adequate. Further, in the filing of our original Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, we did not effectively evaluate the impact of our unaffiliated aggregate market value being in excess of $75 million (reported level of $113 million) at March 31, 2013. Subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K, our management determined that we should have included a 404(b) attestation report from our auditors in our Form 10-K.

Despite the material weakness reported above, the Company’s management believes that its consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

Remediation of Material Weakness

Our management has developed a remediation action plan and we are actively engaged in the implementation of the plan to fully remediate our material weakness. The principal elements of our remediation plan include the following:

a.	Our CEO has appointed a Sarbanes-Oxley project leadership team consisting of our CFO and our Controller, that will oversee the project,

b.	Together with a consultant that we have engaged, we have enhanced our review procedures and the documentation thereof, and,

c.	We have implemented these enhanced procedures as we prepared our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014.

Further, we have amended our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 to include a 404(b) attestation opinion from our auditors.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company began to implement the remediation plan that is detailed above. Other than the implementation of the remediation plan, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

“Item 3- Legal Proceedings” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A, includes a discussion of our legal proceedings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 there have been no material changes from the legal proceedings discussed in our Form 10-K and 10-K/A. See Note G to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the first two paragraphs under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report and our other filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K/A, for the period ended September 30, 2013. The risks and uncertainties described in this report are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect us. If any of these risks actually materialize, our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there have been no material changes in our risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended for the year ended September 30, 2013. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (filed with the SEC on May 1, 2014) for the year ended September 30, 2013 for a list of our risk factors.
