CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “SmartMetric, Inc.,” “SmartMetric,” “SMME,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to SmartMetric, Inc. Also, any reference to “common shares,” or “common stock” refers to our $0.001 par value common stock.
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to our business development plans, timing strategies, expectations, anticipated expense levels, business prospects, business outlook, technology spending and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These statements express our current intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies or predictions as well as historical information. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “continue,” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not deemed to represent an all-inclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements as denoted in this Quarterly Report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters are forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These statements are no guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Our future operating results are dependent upon many factors which are outside our control. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, our ability to:
| ● | manage our business given continuing operating losses and negative cash flows; |
| ● | obtain sufficient capital to fund our operations, development, and expansion plans; |
| ● | manage competitive factors and developments beyond our control; |
| ● | maintain and protect our intellectual property; |
| ● | obtain patents based on our current and/or future patent applications; |
| ● | obtain and maintain other rights to technology required or desirable to conduct or expand our business; and |
| ● | manage any other factors, if any, discussed in this report and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report, except as required by federal securities laws. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this Quarterly Report, which are designed to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

SMARTMETRIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
SmartMetric, Inc. (the “Company” or “SmartMetric”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric’s main product is a fingerprint sensor-activated credit/debit card with a finger sensor onboard the card and a built-in rechargeable battery for portable biometric identification and card activation. This card may be referred to as a biometric credit and or debit card or the SmartMetric Biometric credit card. SmartMetric has completed development of its card along with pre-mass manufacturing cards and is now in the final stages of production of its credit/debit biometric card. The release of this card is imminent.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. 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 of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2025. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, as amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements the Company has sustained recurring losses of $
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of this filing. The 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 be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. COVID-19 has had an impact on SmartMetric’s final card production. While the delays are primarily due to supply line disruption, the Company is confident that these delays will be short-lived based on advice from our manufacturing partners, manufacturing alternatives and alternative supply lines that are being put into place by the Company.
Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include product marketing and distribution. The management plans include equity sales and borrowing in order to fund the operations.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.
As of the end 2024, the Company has seen its electronics assembly move forward following delays in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. During the span of these past four years, SmartMetric was adversely impacted in its product development of and production plans for its biometric credit card product.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. SmartMetric Australia Pty Ltd., having no assets or bank accounts and no operations, has been voluntarily dissolved as a corporation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
The FASB issued ASU 2023-07 on November 27, 2023, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. Under previous guidance, while entities were required to disclose segment revenue and measure of profit or loss, there has been limited disclosure around the reporting of segment expenses. In addition to enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted the requirements of the expanded segment disclosures as of September 30, 2024 retrospectively.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023,

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the employees required service period, which is generally the vesting period.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of September 30, 2024 or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and related party and third-party notes payables approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s notes payable to related parties approximate the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of terms that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2024.
Segment Information
The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting, in determining reportable segments for its financial statement disclosure. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating segment and has one reportable segment.

On January 10, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

NOTE 7 - MANDATORY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
On January 14, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations for its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The authorized number of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is
The number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding were
The holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time during the period beginning on the date which is six (6) months following the date of their issuance, to convert all or any part of the outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at the Variable Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean
The Series C Convertible Preferred stock is convertible after six months at 71% of the average market price of the Company’s stock based on the lowest two (2) market closes fifteen (15) days prior. Consequently, the shares were converted at different rates. The Company assessed the conversion feature and determined it was required to be bifurcated and recognized as a derivative liability. Three (3) batches of Preferred stock were subject to derivative liability valuation based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model. As the fair value of each of the three (3) derivative and the shares issued at inception were in excess of the face amount of the Preferred stock, the Company recorded a discount in the amount of $
On the date which is eighteen (18) months following the Issuance Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company shall redeem all of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the holder (which have not been previously redeemed or converted). Within five (5) days of the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall make payment to each holder of an amount in cash equal to the total number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder multiplied by the then current Stated Value.
All shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock have been presented outside of permanent equity in accordance with ASC 480, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company accretes the carrying value of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to its estimate of fair value (i.e., redemption value) at period end.
The carrying value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 was $

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.
The Company has estimated its effective tax rate to be
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.
At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, deferred tax assets consist of the following:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Overview
SmartMetric, Inc. is a company engaged in the development and manufacture of biometric fingerprint activated credit and debit cards. SmartMetric’s founder and product inventor Chaya Hendrick, has secured issued patents covering the biometric credit and debit card fingerprint activated invention. In addition, SmartMetric holds the license to issued patents covering features of its biometric fingerprint activated cards. SmartMetric’s main product under development is a fingerprint sensor activated credit/debit card with a finger sensor and fully functional fingerprint reader embedded inside the card. The cards have a rechargeable battery allowing for portable biometric identification and card activation. These cards are herein sometimes referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric card.
SmartMetric has created earlier versions of its credit/debit biometric fingerprint activated credit card. The latest version, designed to be compliant with the requests of a major global payments network, is now in the final stages of development so that it can be presented to the network and various card issuing banks.
To date, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts and financial resources to the development of our biometric card. Since our inception in 2002, we have generated no revenue from product sales and have funded our operations principally through the private sales of our equity or equity-linked debt securities. We have never been profitable and, as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $32,280,317 and $32,112,878, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our technologies and advance them to market.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2024, was $3,287, representing 7.0% of total assets. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures and capital raises, we expect to be able to fund our operations through all of 2025. This period could be shortened if there are any significant increases in spending that were not anticipated or other unforeseen events.
We anticipate raising additional cash through the private or public sales of equity or debt securities to continue to fund our operations and the development of our technologies. There is no assurance that financing will be available to us when needed in order to allow us to continue our operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, we may be forced to curtail operations, delay or stop our ongoing clinical trials, cease operations altogether, or file for bankruptcy. We currently do not have commitments for future funding from any source.
Going Concern
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
17
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses of $167,439 and $170,671 for the three month period ending September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and has incurred a cumulative loss of $32,280,317 and $32,112,878 as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024. The Company is currently in the development stage and has spent a substantial portion of its time and efforts on the development of its technology.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond calendar year 2025. The Company maintains sufficient cash to continue as a going concern throughout all of calendar year 2024.
Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include the final phase of development and mass production being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
All of the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included above in this Quarterly Report. We have identified the following as our significant accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs. Due to the small size of the Company’s research & development staff as well as the lack of any long term research and development-related contracts, we do not believe that the use of this critical accounting estimate will have a material impact on the results of financial operations.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Our results of operations have varied significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter and may vary significantly in the future. We did not have revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and net income (attributable to common shareholders) for September 30, 2023 were $167,439 and $170,671 respectively, resulting from the operational activities described below.
19
Operating Expenses
Operating expense totaled 103,867 and $157,005 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of lower consulting expenses and legal expenses.

Research and Development
Research and development expenses totaled $4,500 and $25,739 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $21,239, or 82.5%, in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to decreased engineering expenses.

The increase of $12,117 was partly attributable to higher interest on deferred officer salary. Of this amount, $8,189 was interest on convertible notes. We had a loss of $37,789 on patent asset. This increase of $37,789 was due to patent write-off due to impairment loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses since our inception as a result of significant expenditures for operations and research and development and the lack of any revenue. We have an accumulated deficit of $32,280,317 as of September 30, 2024, and anticipate that we will continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Through September 30, 2024, we have funded our operations through the private sale of our equity securities and exercises of options and warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $29.3 million from inception through September 30, 2024.

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on Controls
Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions are being performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of
22
our failure to have segregation of duties in all of our financially significant processes and have concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness. We plan to remediate this weakness over the next 6 months.
Consequently, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
