BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2012 (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, 2011 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, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”), filed on April 16, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE MATTERS

We have incurred significant losses to date, and at September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $53 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of our technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues. At September 30, 2012, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $107,500, as compared to approximately $43,000 at December 31, 2011.

As discussed below, the Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, as well as convertible preferred stock and common stock. We currently require approximately $385,000 per month to conduct our operations, which we have been unable to maintain in revenue generation.

The balance of the Company’s Secured Notes of approximately $346,000 will be due and payable to the holder, Thomas Colatosti, the Company's Chairman of the Board ("Colatosti"), together with all accumulated and unpaid interest on December 31, 2012. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to pay the obligation, we will need to seek an extension. See Note 6.

If we are 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, 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.

3. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Three Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011

Selling, general and administrative	$	5,637	$	5,436
Research, development and engineering		1,308		7,502
	$	6,945	$	12,938

	Nine Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011

Selling, general and administrative	$	19,022	$	11,596
Research, development and engineering		26,032		37,671
	$	45,054	$	49,267

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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, diluted per share computations are not presented since this effect would be antidilutive.

The reconciliation of the numerators of the basic and EPS calculations, due to the inclusion of preferred stock dividends and accretion was as follows for both of the following three and nine month periods ended September 30:

	Three Months ended September 30,						Nine Months ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Basic Numerator:

(Loss) available to common stockholders	$	(232,609	)	$	(540,165	)	$	(482,530	)	$	(894,319	)

Basic Denominator		78,155,413			78,155,413			78,155,413			78,155,413
Per Share Amount	$	0.00		$	(0.01	)	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.01	)

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Potentially dilutive Stock Options		-		279,978		-		473,652

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Stock options		4,575,749		3,372,140		4,575,749		2,527,140
Warrants		8,250,000		8,250,000		8,250,000		8,250,000
Total		12,825,749		11,622,140		12,825,749		10,777,140

5. NOTE RECEIVABLE

As consideration for the Asset Sale of its Law Enforcement division (the “Business”) to InterAct911 Mobile Systems, Inc. in 2009, the Buyer paid the Company an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.3 million. The consideration consisted of cash payments totaling $7.3 million and the issuance of a promissory note (the “Note”) in the original principal amount of $4 million in favor of the Company. The Note earned interest, payable on a quarterly basis, at a rate per annum equal to six percent (6%) compounded annually on the principal sum from time to time outstanding.

Effective as of December 30, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver agreement (the “Amendment and Waiver”) with respect to the Note. Under the original terms of the Note, the initial scheduled repayment of principal, equal to $1,334,000, was due to be paid to the Company on December 8, 2010. Pursuant to the Amendment and Waiver, the Company agreed to defer $834,000 of this initial payment into three equal payments due over the course of the first three quarters of 2011, of which the first payment of $278,000 was received in April 2011.

In exchange for this deferral, the Buyer made a principal payment of $500,000 (received in December 2010), agreed to increase the interest rate on the deferred amount from six percent to twelve percent, and agreed to have the owner of the Parent, Silkroad Equity LLC, forfeit all of the 8,000,000 warrants previously granted to it by the Company.

Effective as of May 19, 2011, the Buyer exercised its option to prepay the balance due of $3,222,000 under the Note. In consideration for the early payment from the Buyer, the Company accepted a $150,000 discount on the principal amount due, of which $50,000 was absorbed by the Secured Promissory Noteholders (see “Note 6 – Notes Payable”). The total amount received by the Company was $3,113,654 which included principal amount of $3,222,000, interest income of $30,888 and a reimbursement of legal fees incurred of $10,766 net of the discount of $150,000.

6. NOTES PAYABLE

The 2010 Exchange Agreement

Effective as of December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “2010 Exchange Agreement”) with the Shaar Fund, Ltd. (“Shaar”) and Colatosti. Pursuant to the 2010 Exchange Agreement, Shaar exchanged all of its outstanding shares of the Company’s 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 Shaar in the original principal amount of $673,079 for an installment payment of $500,000 and a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $3,157,759 (the “Shaar Note”). The installment payment was made in January 2011. Shaar also exchanged all of its existing warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, exercisable for an aggregate of 5,108,333 shares, for a new five-year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In addition, 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”).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company made a cash payment to Shaar in the amount of $500,000 at the closing of the exchange and also paid approximately $125,209 to Shaar on January 31, 2011 in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to Shaar for all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock formerly held by Shaar.

Effective as of May 20, 2011, the Company exercised its option to prepay the balance due of $3,157,759 owed to Shaar on its Secured Promissory Note. In consideration of the $150,000 discount granted by the Company for the early payment of the Note Receivable (see “Note 5 — Note Receivable”), the Company’s Secured Promissory Note holders agreed to effectively absorb $50,000 of the discount, with the remainder borne by the Company. The discount was prorated to both Note holders which reduced the Shaar payment by $45,624 and the principle amount owed on the Colatosti Note by $4,376. The total amount paid by the Company to Shaar was $3,192,421 and included principal of $3,157,759, interest of $80,286 less Shaar’s share of the discount described above.

The principal and interest under the Colatosti Note is scheduled to be repaid by the Company in cash on December 31, 2012. The Company’s obligations under the Colatosti Note are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. At both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Colatosti note amounted to $346,428.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has determined that its continuing operations are one discrete segment consisting of Biometric products.

8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

9. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:

The Company has taken steps to resolve litigation filed against it. The Company has made progress towards a settlement but the amount of any such settlement is still subject to negotiation and can not be determined at this time. The settlement should result in a dismissal of all claims asserted in the litigation (both against and by the Company) with prejudice. The Company expects that the negotiated settlement and the dismissal of all claims will occur in the fourth quarter of 2012.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, service revenues included approximately $151,000 and $159,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $0 and $70,000 of non-recurring custom services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Recurring service revenue decreased for the three month periods from 2011 to 2012 as the Company continued to bundle maintenance agreements to its expanding customer license base, offset by the delayed renewal of a contract that is behind schedule.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, license and other revenue (comprised of third party hardware and royalty) increased in its core software and royalty revenue, offset by a larger decrease in third party hardware sales. The Company realized an approximately $37,000 increase (50%) in its core software license. Third-party hardware sales decreased by approximately $144,000 (58%), The Company’s royalty income was derived from an OEM agreement, and resulted in a 92% increase in revenue of approximately $21,000, due to a true up for the 2012 fiscal year.

Costs of goods sold

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cost of services decreased approximately $24,000 from the same period in 2011 due to decreased associated requirements for non-recurring custom services revenue.

License and other costs decreased $87,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011 due to a decrease in hardware orders and associated costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 47% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011. The decrease is largely attributable to a reversal of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $300,000. The Company had previously set up an allowance of 75% of the balance due under a contract whose payments were behind schedule. The reversal represents 75% of a payment received under the contract in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, service revenues included approximately $491,000 and $452,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $223,000 and $86,000, respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue increased 9% from 2011 to 2012 as the Company continued to bundle maintenance agreements to its expanding customer license base.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, license and other revenue (comprised of third party hardware and royalty) decreased as a result of several contributing factors. Software license revenue decreased approximately $414,000 (26%). In 2012, two large orders generated revenue whose amount was 30% less than one large order from a single new customer in 2011 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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, and Identimetrics. Third-party hardware sales decreased by approximately $385,000 (49%), as a result of decreased demand from an existing OEM partner and smaller Healthcare deployments. The Company’s royalty income was derived from an OEM agreement, and resulted in a 17% increase in revenue to approximately $92,000 from $78,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Costs of goods sold

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cost of service increased approximately $58,000 largely as a result of costs associated with non-recurring custom services revenue. License and other costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased approximately $253,000 directly associated with the decrease in third party hardware revenue.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 15% from the same period in 2011. Reductions included commissions for reduced revenue, administrative personnel, and the reversal of the allowance for doubtful accounts as the result of a payment received on an overdue contract as discussed above. Decreases were offset by an increase in channel marketing expense related to increased non-recurring custom services revenue and bank charges associated with factoring fees.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and convertible debt issued in prior periods was converted to two notes payable, one note which was discounted as a result of the issuance of detachable warrants associated with the conversion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the amortization of the discount, which was included in interest expense in the Statements of Operations, was attributable to the Note Payable.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the interest income was attributable to the note receivable received for the sale of the Law Division, which was fully paid in May 2011. The interest expense in the above table was attributable to the notes payable, of which approximately $346,000 remains outstanding as of September 30, 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the net discounts of notes payable and receivable was a non-cash item with respect to the value of the net early payment discount granted to the holder of the note receivable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by continuing operations was approximately $64,000. The cash used for continuing operations was primarily due to the following items:

●

Positive cash flows related to an decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $422,000, due to a large payment received in the third quarter; and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $281,000, attributable to the accrued commission and an increase of approximately $226,000 in accounts payable of which approximately $86,000 is for third party hardware

●

Negative cash flows from a decrease in deferred revenue for maintenance renewals and prepaid orders, and the reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

●

The Company recorded approximately $45,000 of charges during the first nine months of 2012 for the expense of issuing options to employees for services.

There were no cash flows under investing or financing activities during the period.

The Company has a reserve for bad debts of $279,000 which represents 75% of the remaining balance owed under a contract for payments that are behind schedule.

Net working deficit at September 30, 2012 was approximately $1,946,000 as compared to approximately $1,539,000 at December 31, 2011.

Since January 7, 1993 (date of inception), our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities.

We do not expect any material capital expenditures 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.

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 this arrangement, BIO-key, 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 BIO-key (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. The Company changed the requirements of the arrangement in May of 2012 to quarterly versus monthly, which restarted the 24-month timeframe. BIO-key expects to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with its general working capital requirements.

Liquidity outlook

At September 30, 2012 our total of cash and cash equivalents was $107,565, as compared to $43,437 at December 31, 2011.

As discussed above, the Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock and common stock. We currently require approximately $385,000 per month to conduct our operations. During the first nine months of the 2012, we generated approximately $2,353,000 of revenue, which is below our average monthly requirements.

The balance of the Company’s Secured Notes of approximately $346,000 will be due and payable to the holder, Thomas Colatosti, the Company's Chairman of the Board, together with all accumulated and unpaid interest on December 31, 2012. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to pay the obligation, we will need to seek an extension.

If we are 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. Therefore, we may need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities, or to restructure our financial position through similar transactions to those consummated during the 2009 to 2010 period.

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in opinions they have previously issued 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 meaningful 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer, (“CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
