Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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 Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements
furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's financial position at September 30, 2004 and the results of its
operations for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003, stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. All such
adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim financial statements
are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company's annual financial
statements. Results of operations for the nine month period ending September 30,
2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003.
Liquidity
The Company anticipates that its current available cash on hand and
marketable securities and cash resources from expected revenues from the sale of
the units in inventory and the licensing of its technology will be sufficient to
meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at
least the next twelve months. These requirements are expected to include the
purchase of inventory, product development, sales and marketing expenses,
working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. The Company
may need to raise additional funds to respond to business contingencies which
may include the need to fund more rapid expansion, fund additional marketing
expenditures, develop new markets for its ID-Check technology, enhance its
operating infrastructure, respond to competitive pressures, or acquire
complementary businesses or necessary technologies.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (FIN No. 46), which addresses consolidation by
business enterprises of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). FIN No.46 is
applicable immediately for VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and are effective
for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2003, for VIEs created prior to
February 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46
("FIN 46R") to clarify some of the provisions of the interpretation and to defer
the effective date of implementation for certain entities. Under the guidance of
FIN 46R, public companies that have interests in VIE's that are commonly
referred to as special purpose entities are required to apply the provisions of
FIN 46R for periods ending after December 15, 2003. A public company that does
not have any interests in special purpose entities but does have a variable
interest in a VIE created before February 1, 2003, must apply the provisions of
FIN 46R by the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after
March 15, 2004. The Company adopted FIN 46 and FIN 46R during the quarter ended
March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the financial condition
or results of operations since the Company does not have investments in VIE's.
5
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's 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 amounts
reported in the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of September 30,
2004, cash equivalents included money market funds, commercial paper and other
liquid short-term debt instruments (with maturities at date of purchase of three
months or less) of $2,795,147.
Marketable Securities
The Company has classified its marketable securities as held-to-maturity
as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
The securities are carried at amortized cost using the specific identification
method. Interest income is recorded using an effective interest rate, with the
associated premium or discount amortized to interest income. All of the
Company's marketable securities have maturities of less than 1 year with a
weighted average interest rate of 1.76%. The carrying value of the marketable
securities as of September 30, 2004 of $2,983,896 approximated their fair market
value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company sells its products directly through its sales force and
through distributors. Revenue from direct sales of the Company's product is
recognized upon shipment to the customer and when title has passed. The
Company's products require continuing service or post contract customer support
and performance by the Company; accordingly, a portion of the revenue pertaining
to the service and support is deferred based on its fair value and recognized
ratably over the period in which the future service, support and performance are
provided, which is generally one year. Currently, with respect to sales to
distributors, the Company does not have enough experience to identify the fair
value of each element. Therefore, the full amount of such revenue and related
gross margin is deferred and recognized ratably over the one-year period in
which the future service, support and performance is provided.
In addition, the Company recognizes sales from licensing of its patented
software to customers. The Company's licensed software requires continuing
service or post contract customer support and performance by the Company;
accordingly, a portion of the revenue is deferred based on its fair value and
recognized ratably over the period in which the future service, support and
performance is provided, which is generally one year.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company began receiving
royalties from licensing its technology, which are recognized as revenues in the
period they are earned.
The Company has adopted EITF 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables" for fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Revenue arrangements were
allocated to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair
values and revenue is recognized in accordance with its policy as stated above.
Inventory Valuation
The Company's inventory consists primarily of its ID-Check terminals that
run its patented software and input devices purchased during 2004. The Company
acquired its ID-Check terminals in December 1999 and, shortly thereafter, was
returned to the manufacturer for upgrade and became available for sale in the
fourth quarter of 2000. The Company periodically evaluates the current market
value of its inventory, taking into account any technological obsolescence that
may occur due to changes in hardware technology and the acceptance of the
product in the marketplace. Even though the Company has had limited sales to
date, it believes that a sufficient market exists to sell its current inventory,
with margin, over a period of time. Based on the ongoing evaluation of the
6
Company's inventory, the Company recorded an inventory write down of $990,000
during 2003 and an additional write down of $200,000 during the third quarter
2004. Should the Company determine in a future period that an adjustment to
market value of the inventory is necessary, an adjustment would be recorded at
that time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations. The current terminal is fully capable of running the Company's
patented software as it utilizes a state-of-the-art imager/scanner and magnetic
stripe reader.
Stock-Based Compensation
At September 30, 2004, the Company has stock based compensation plans,
which are described more fully in Note 8 to the Financial Statements included in
the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As permitted by the SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," the Company accounts for stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with provisions of
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." Compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is
based on the difference on the date of grant, between the fair value of the
Company's common stock and the exercise price of the option. No stock based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss, as all options granted
under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock at the date of grant. The Company accounts for equity
instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for
Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction With Selling Goods or Services." 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.
In accordance with SFAS No.148 "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," the following table illustrates the
effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to employee stock based compensation:

Basic and diluted loss per share, pro forma ($0.23) ($0.34) ($0.68) ($0.88)
Note 2. Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share." Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss
per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share
("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding. SFAS
No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face
of the statements of operations. Diluted EPS for the periods ended September 30,
2004 and 2003 does not include the impact of stock options, warrants and
convertible preferred stock then outstanding, as the effect of their inclusion
would be antidilutive.

Note 3. Supplier Agreement
On January 2, 2004, the Company entered into a 2 year product supply
agreement with a manufacturer of input devices and has agreed to a minimum
purchase of units totaling approximately $120,000. In March 2004, the Company
received and paid for its minimum purchase commitment and will purchase
additional units as needed to fulfill orders. These devices, which are private
labeled, are programmed to work in conjunction with the ID-Check technology.
Note 4. Investment Firm Relationships
On January 21, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Alexandros
Partners LLC to act as consultants in advising the Company in financial and
investor relation matters. The Company agreed to pay a consulting fee of $50,000
payable in 12 equal monthly installments. In addition, the Company issued a
warrant granting the right to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at a purchase price of $7.54 per share vesting ratably over the 12 month
period. We recorded the relative fair value of these warrants issued in
connection with this transaction of $542,648 against deferred compensation,
which was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method and is being
amortized against earnings over the period of the agreement. The agreement
terminates on December 31, 2004. A principal of Alexandros Partners LLC is
currently a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
Note 5. Legal Matters
On April 9, 2003, the Company received notification from the American
Arbitration Association that it had awarded Early Bird Capital $921,730 on the
settlement of their demand. The Company had filed with the New York State
Supreme Court an application for setting aside the confirmation of the award. On
October 14, 2003, the court confirmed the award with interest at a rate of 9%
per annum beginning April 9, 2003. The Company recorded a charge of $921,730 in
its Statements of Operations for the three month period ending March 31, 2003.
The Company secured a one year letter of credit for the full amount of the
charge along with interest in the form of a certificate of deposit. On March 5,
2004, the Company paid $950,000, which included interest expense recorded in the
year ended December 31, 2003, to Early Bird Capital as full settlement in this
matter.
On August 1, 2003, the Company filed a summons and complaint against
Tricom Card Technologies, Inc. alleging infringement on its patent seeking
injunctive and monetary relief. On October 23, 2003, the Company amended its
complaint to include infringement on an additional patent. On May 18, 2004, the
Company filed a Second Amended Complaint alleging infringement and inducement to
infringe against certain principals of Tricom in their personal capacities, as
well as alleging in the alternative false advertising claims under the Lanham
Act against all the defendants. These principals have moved to dismiss the
claims against them, and Tricom has moved to dismiss the false advertising
claims. The Company has opposed the motions. The Joint Pretrial order is due for
filing on November 19, 2004.
We are not aware of any infringement by our products or technology on the
proprietary rights of others.
Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any legal
or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which would have a
material adverse effect on our business.

Note 6. Extension of Stock Options
On May 10, 2004, the board of directors extended the expiration date of
375,000 stock options for the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
originally due to expire July 1, 2004 until July 1, 2008. As a result, the
Company recorded the fair value of the extension of $1,320,000 as a non cash
expense during the second quarter ended June 30, 2004, which was calculated
using the Black-Scholes valuation method.
Note 7. 2004 Stock Option Plan
At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 8, 2004, the
stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan covering up to 850,000 of the
Company's common shares, pursuant to which the officers, directors, key
employees and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock
options and nonqualified stock options. As of November 12, 2004, no options were
granted under this plan.
Note 8. Reclassification
Subsequent to July 1, 2003 and for the period ended September 30, 2003,
the Company had adopted SFAS No.150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" and classified
the Series A 8% convertible redeemable preferred stock as a liability.
Accordingly, the preferred dividend and accretion of the preferred stock was
recorded as interest expense. Subsequently, after better understanding the
requirements of SFAS No.150, the Company decided that this accounting treatment
was incorrect and reclassified the Series A 8% convertible redeemable preferred
stock to mezzanine debt and recorded the preferred dividend and accretion of
preferred stock to Accumulated Deficit.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
On November 9, 2004, the Company agreed to renew the employment agreement
of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which will expire on December 31,
2005 and provides for an annual base salary of $250,000. In addition, the
Company will grant the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer an option to
purchase 25,000 shares of common stock on January 1, 2005, which will be
immediately exercisable. The Company also agreed to renew the employment
agreement of the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
which will expire on December 31, 2006 and provides for an annual base salary of
$156,280. In addition, the Company will grant the Senior Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer an option to purchase 50,000 shares of
common stock, 25,000 becoming exercisable on January 1, 2005 and January 1,
2006, respectively.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
(a) Overview
Our Company was formed in 1994 to address a growing need for a reliable
document and age verification system to detect fraudulent driver licenses and
other widely accepted forms of government-issued identification documents. Our
sales through September 30, 2000 were minimal since, through 1998, we had
previously produced only a limited pre-production run of our product for testing
and market acceptance. In late 1999, we received a limited number of ID-Check
terminals which were then available for sale. Shortly thereafter, these
terminals were returned to the manufacturer to be upgraded to contain an
advanced imager/scanner, which allowed our software to read the encoding at that
time on over 50 jurisdictions as opposed to 32 jurisdictions on the original
scanner. During the fourth quarter of 2000, we experienced a material increase
in sales as a result of product availability and our entering into marketing and
distributor agreements with resellers. During 2001 and through the period ended
December 31, 2003, sales were limited due to the refocus of our marketing
efforts towards larger customers in the retail market, in which the sales cycle
normally requires an extended time frame to allow for multiple meetings,
presentations and a test period. We believe that this sales cycle was further
extended by the then downturn in the economy causing delays in capital
expenditure decisions. However, after the tragic events that occurred on
September 11, 2001, we believe there has been a significant increase in
awareness of our technology to help improve security across many industries,
including airlines, rail transportation and high profile buildings and
infrastructure, which we believe should enhance future demand for our
technology. We have also begun to market to various government and state
agencies, which have long sales cycles including extended test periods. Since
9
inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from
operating activities and, as of September 30, 2004, we had an accumulated
deficit of $33,308,787. We will continue to fund operating and capital
expenditures from proceeds that we received from financings and our secondary
offering. In view of the rapidly evolving nature of our business and our limited
operating history, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of revenues and
operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon
as indications of future performance.
Our ID-Check's unique technology provides the ability to verify the
validity of military ID's, driver licenses and state issued non-driver ID cards
that contain magnetic stripes or bar codes, which in most cases conform to
AAMVA/ANSI/ISO standards, enables us to target three distinct markets. The
original target market was focused on resellers of age-restricted products, such
as alcohol and tobacco, where the proliferation of high-tech fake IDs expose
merchants to fines and penalties for the inadvertent sale of these products to
underage purchasers. Currently, we also target markets to prevent economic
losses from frauds such as identity theft and for access control. We believe
that the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001 have created
increased awareness of our technology in security applications involving the
access control market. As a result of its applicability in these markets, we
have sold our products to some of the largest companies in the gaming industry,
a state port authority, military establishments, airports, nuclear power plants
and high profile infrastructure. Additionally, we currently are in pilot
programs with some multi-billion dollar public companies. We have entered into
strategic alliances with key biometric companies, leading providers of
integrated security solutions, leading integrators in the defense industry, such
as Northrop Grumman, leading providers of passport reading and verification
systems and leading providers of systems for access control. In addition, we
have executed agreements with some high profile organizations to promote the use
of our technology and our products, such as Credit Union National Association
(CUNA), Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the American Association of
Airport Executives (AAAE). We believe these relationships have broadened our
marketing reach through their sales efforts and we intend to develop additional
strategic alliances with additional high profile organizations and providers of
security solutions.
We have developed additional software products that utilize our patented
software technology. Our newly introduced software solutions, ID-Check(R) PC and
ID-Check(R) PDA, which replicate the features of ID-Check, are designed to be
platform-independent and compatible with both stationary and mobile hardware
applications. Another new application is the newest version of C-Link(R), the
Company's networkable data management software. Additionally, ID-Check(R) PC and
the newest release of C-Link are designed to read the smart chip contained on
the military Common Access Card (CAC). Two recently announced products are our
ID-Traveler and Identity-Pass software products for "in-person proofing"
designed to meet the credentialing requirements of Presidential Directive
HSPD-12, a policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and
Contractors and help in Patriot Act compliance. They additionally have
applications in a variety of retail and other point-of-sale markets. These
products are all designed for use with Intelli-Check's new data capture module
(DCM), a compact, self-contained two-dimensional bar code and magnetic stripe
reader. Since the DCM enables the new software applications to be used on a
variety of commercially available data processing devices, including PDAs,
Tablets, Laptops, Desktops and Point-of-Sale Computers, we do not believe that
we need to replace the IDC-1400 platform. Our C-Link(R) software product, which
runs on a personal computer and was created to work in conjunction with the
ID-Check unit, allows a user to instantly view the encoded data for further
verification, to analyze the data and to generate various reports where
permitted by law. To date, we have entered into nine licensing agreements and
are in discussions with additional companies to license our software to be
utilized within other existing systems. The revenue received from such licensing
agreements has not been significant through the period ended September 30, 2004.
Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
The preparation of our 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 amounts reported in
our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates.
We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to
understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect
the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas involving
management's judgments and estimates. These significant accounting policies
relate to revenue recognition,
10
valuation of inventory and commitments and contingencies. These policies and our
procedures related to these policies are described in detail below.
A. Revenue Recognition
We sell our products directly through our sales force and through
distributors. Revenue from direct sales of our product is recognized upon
shipment to the customer and when title has passed. Our product requires
continuing service or post contract customer support and performance by us;
accordingly, a portion of the revenue pertaining to the service and support is
deferred based on its fair value and recognized ratably over the period in which
the future service, support and performance are provided, which is generally one
year. Currently, with respect to sales to distributors, we do not yet have
enough experience to identify the fair value of each element. Therefore, the
full amount of revenue and related gross margin is deferred and recognized
ratably over the one-year period in which the future service, support and
performance will be provided.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we began recognizing sales from
the licensing of our technology to customers. Our licensing products require
continuing service or post contract customer support and performance by us;
accordingly, a portion of the revenue is deferred based on its fair value and
recognized ratably over the period in which the future service, support and
performance are provided, which is generally one year.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we began receiving royalties
from licensing our technology. We will recognize these payments as revenues in
the period they are earned.
B. Inventory Valuation
Our inventory consists primarily of our ID-Check terminals that run our
patented software and input devices purchased during 2004. We acquired our
ID-Check terminals in December 1999 and, shortly thereafter, it was returned to
the manufacturer for upgrade and became available for sale in the fourth quarter
of 2000. We periodically evaluate the current market value of our inventory,
taking into account any technological obsolescence that may occur due to changes
in hardware technology and the acceptance of the product in the marketplace.
Even though we have had limited sales to date, we believe that a sufficient
market exists to sell our current inventory, with margin, over a period of time.
Based on the ongoing evaluations of our inventory, we recorded an inventory
write down of $990,000 during 2003 and an additional write down of $200,000
during the third quarter 2004. Should we determine in a future period that an
adjustment to market value of the inventory is necessary, we would record such
adjustment at that time, which could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations. The current terminal is fully capable of running our
patented software as it utilizes a state-of-the-art imager/scanner and magnetic
stripe reader.
C. Commitments and Contingencies
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in the
"Commitments and Contingencies" note in the Notes to the Financial Statements
filed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Other than as
described in footnote 5 above, we do not believe these legal proceedings will
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our
accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular
transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting
principles, with no need for management's judgment in their application. There
are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available
alternative would not produce a materially different result.
(b) Results of Operations
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to the nine months
ended September 30, 2003.
Revenues decreased $159,191 from $950,012 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 to $790,821 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Revenues for the period ended September 30, 2004 consisted of revenues from
distributors of $241,244, revenues from direct sales to customers of $498,126
and royalty payments
11
of $51,451. Shipments of products and contracted services amounted to $822,014
and $885,371 for the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Sales growth has been limited due to our change in marketing focus from smaller
customers to large commercial customers and government agencies which require an
extended sales cycle. We believe that the time frame of the sales cycle
associated with the refocus of our marketing efforts will continue to impact our
sales. We are optimistic that sales opportunities should increase as a result of
certain of our recent marketing tests and agreements, our introduction of
additional products this year, as well as legislative efforts to enhance
security and deal with the problem of under-age access to alcoholic products.
Gross profit, excluding an inventory writedown of $800,000 in the second
quarter of 2003 and excluding an inventory writedown of $200,000 in the third
quarter of 2004, would have decreased by $124,993 from $606,764 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 to $481,771 for the nine months ended September
30, 2004. Our gross profit, excluding the inventory writedown of $800,000 in the
second quarter of 2003 and excluding an inventory writedown of $200,000 in the
third quarter of 2004, as a percentage of revenues, would have decreased to
60.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 63.9% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. Our gross profit percentage was negatively impacted by
a change in our sales mix of our bundled software and hardware products which
are at lower margins as compared to sales from licensing our technology.
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative
and research and development expenses, increased 43.2% from $4,011,175 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $5,744,679 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. Selling expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for marketing, decreased 8.2% from $977,012 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 to $896,735 for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 primarily due to decreased travel and convention expenses of approximately
$55,000 and a reduction of non-recurring expenses of $70,000 from the hiring of
professional consultants during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to
promote our product, which was partially offset by an increase in salaries and
employee costs of approximately $15,000 and advertising and marketing expenses
of approximately $43,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
General and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, accounting,
facilities and fees for legal and professional services, increased 86.4% from
$2,105,922 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $3,925,583 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in
non-cash expenses from the extension of stock options totaling $1,274,000, an
increase in legal fees of approximately $678,000 relating to patent infringement
litigation and increases in employee costs and related expenses of approximately
$11,000, which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense of
approximately $240,000 as a result of the write-off of intangible assets
relating to the IDentiScan acquisition in 2003. Research and development
expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and related costs for the
development of our products, amounted to $928,241 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $922,361 for the nine months ended September 30,
2004, which has not materially changed. We believe that we will require
additional investments in development and operating infrastructure as the
Company grows. Therefore, we expect that expenses will continue to incrementally
increase in line with increases in the growth of the business as we may increase
expenditures for advertising, brand promotion, public relations and other
marketing activities. We expect that we will incur incremental general and
administrative expenses as the business grows. Research and development expenses
may also increase as we complete and introduce additional products based upon
our patented ID-Check technology.
Interest income increased from $21,499 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 to $76,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which is a
result of an increase in our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities
and short term investments available for investment during this period.
We did not incur interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaling $43,437,
resulting primarily from interest accrued in 2003 on an arbitration decision
awarding Early Bird Capital settlement on their demand.
We did not incur other expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaling $921,730
which resulted from an arbitration decision awarding Early Bird Capital
settlement on their demand.
As a result of the factors noted above, our net loss increased from
$5,148,079 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $5,386,630 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004.
12
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2004 to the three
months ended September 30, 2003.
Revenues decreased by $113,024 from $345,685 for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 to $232,661 for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
Revenues for the period ended September 30, 2004 consisted of revenues from
distributors of $95,075, revenues from direct sales to customers of $121,114 and
royalty payments of $16,472. Shipments of products and contracted services
amounted to $228,152 and $327,579 for the period ended September 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The sales growth has been limited due to our change in
marketing focus from smaller customers to large commercial customers and
government agencies which require an extended sales cycle. We believe that the
time frame of the sales cycle associated with the refocus of our marketing
efforts will continue to impact our sales. We are optimistic that sales
opportunities should increase as a result of certain of our recent marketing
tests and agreements, our introduction of additional products this year, as well
as legislative efforts to enhance security.
Gross profit, excluding an inventory writedown of $200,000 in the third
quarter of 2004, would have decreased by $101,069 from $243,660 for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 to $142,591 for the three months ended September
30, 2004. Our gross profit, excluding the inventory writedown of $200,000 in the
third quarter of 2004 as a percentage of revenues amounted to 61.3% in the three
months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 70.5% for the three months ended
September 30, 2003. Our gross profit percentage was negatively impacted by a
change in our sales mix of our bundled software and hardware products which are
at lower margins as compared to sales from licensing our technology.
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative
and research and development expenses, increased 27.3% from $1,285,094 for the
three months ended September 30, 2003 to $1,636,134 for the three months ended
September 30, 2004. Selling expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for marketing, decreased 11.2% from $297,162 for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 to $263,866 for the three months ended September 30,
2004 primarily due to a reduction in non-recurring fees of approximately $19,000
incurred in the prior year from the hiring of professional consultants to
promote our product and a decrease in travel and convention expense of
approximately $27,000, which were partially offset by an increase in marketing
expenses of approximately $27,000 . General and administrative expenses, which
consist primarily of salaries and related costs for general corporate functions,
including executive, accounting, facilities and fees for legal and professional
services increased 57.8% from $681,252 for the three months ended September 30,
2003 to $1,075,191 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 primarily as a
result of, an increase in legal fees of approximately $519,000 relating to
patent infringement litigation, which were partially offset by a decrease in
non-cash expenses from the extension of stock options totaling $25,000 and a
decrease in amortization expense of approximately $85,000 as a result of the
write-off of intangible assets relating to the IDentiScan acquisition in 2003.
Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for the development and testing of our products, decreased 3.1%
from $306,680 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $297,077 for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 primarily relating to a decrease in
salaries and related employee expenses of approximately $20,000, which were
partially offset by an increase in product testing expenses of approximately
$5,000. Research and development expenses may continue to increase as we
complete and introduce additional products based upon our patented ID-Check
technology. We believe that we will require additional investments in
development and operating infrastructure as the Company grows. Therefore, we
expect that expenses will continue to incrementally increase in line with
increases in the growth of the business as we may increase expenditures for
advertising, brand promotion, public relations and other marketing activities.
Interest income increased from $5,877 for the three months ended September
30, 2003 to $24,659 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, which is a
result of an increase in our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities
and short term investments available for investment during this period.
We did not incur interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2004 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 totaling $42,283,
resulting primarily from interest accrued in 2003 on an arbitration decision
awarding Early Bird Capital settlement on their demand.
As a result of the factors noted above, our net loss increased from
$1,077,840 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $1,668,884 for the
three months ended September 30, 2004.
13
(c) Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to our initial public offering in November 1999, we financed our
operations primarily through several private placements of equity and debt
securities. We used the net proceeds of these financings for the primary purpose
of funding working capital and general corporate purposes and for the purchase
of hardware terminals. As a result of our IPO and the underwriter's exercise of
their over-allotment option, we received approximately $6,907,000 in net
proceeds after deducting the underwriter's commissions and offering expenses.
During 2000, we received $3,426,374 from the issuance of common stock upon
exercise of warrants and stock options. During 2001, 2002 and 2003, we received
$717,071, $3,231,174 and $1,742,466, respectively, from the issuance of common
stock upon exercise of warrants, stock options and rights. In March 2003, we
received net proceeds before legal expenses of $2,850,000, from the issuance of
convertible preferred stock. We funded the purchase of hardware terminals for
resale and working capital primarily from these proceeds. In October 2003, we
successfully completed our secondary public offering of 1,100,000 shares of
common stock at $8.00 per share and received proceeds net of underwriting
discounts and commissions and before other offering expenses of approximately
$7,906,000. Offering expenses totaled $324,574 and were fully paid as of
December 31, 2003. In addition, we sold to the underwriter for $110 warrants to
purchase 110,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.60 per share. The
warrants are currently exercisable and expire October 8, 2009. We will continue
to use these proceeds to fund working capital.
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 of $2,423,032 resulted primarily from the net loss of $5,386,630 and a
decrease in litigation settlement payable of $921,700 resulting from the payout
of the settlement, which was primarily offset by a decrease in certificates of
deposits, restricted of $1,283,118 primarily resulting from the payment of the
litigation settlement, recognition of noncash stock based compensation expense
resulting from the extension of stock options of $1,347,000, amortization of
deferred compensation of $234,053, an inventory reserve of $200,000 and an
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $617,750 primarily from
litigation expenses incurred from our patent lawsuit. Cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $3,607,029 was
primarily attributable to the net loss of $5,148,079, an increase in
certificates of deposit, restricted of $1,008,526 resulting from the award in
the legal matter with Early Bird Capital and an increase in accounts receivable
of $144,914, which was offset primarily by a decrease of inventory of $178,764
and an inventory reserve of $800,000, an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $73,546, an increase in litigation settlement payable of
$921,700 resulting from the legal award recorded in the first quarter of 2003,
depreciation and amortization of $331,871 and amortization of deferred
compensation of $272,032 from the granting of stock options to consultants. Cash
provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of
$1,853,387 resulted primarily from the net result of the investment in and sales
of marketable securities and short term investments of $1,872,492. Cash used in
investing activities was $1,931 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and
resulted from the purchases of property and equipment. Cash provided by
financing activities was $88,801 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
and was primarily related to proceeds of $427,979 from the issuance of common
stock from the exercise of stock options, which was partially offset by the
payment of dividends to preferred stock holders of $240,000. Cash provided by
financing activities was $3,136,890 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003
and was primarily related to the issuance of Series A 8% Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock of $2,714,100 and the exercise of stock options of $716,646,
which was partially offset by the payment of dividends to preferred stock
holders of $188,717.
Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities for the period ended
September 30, 2004 was 4.31:1 compared to 1.45:1 for the period ended September
30, 2003. This increase resulted primarily from the proceeds we received from
our secondary public offering completed in October 2003.
In March 2001, we declared a dividend distribution of one non-transferable
right to purchase one share of our common stock for every 10 outstanding shares
of common stock continuously held from the record date to the date of exercise,
as well as common stock underlying vested stock options and warrants, held of
record on March 30, 2001, at an exercise price of $8.50. The rights were due to
expire on October 4, 2002, which was one year after the effective date of the
registration statement related to the shares of common stock underlying the
rights. We extended the expiration date until April 4, 2003, further extended
the rights until December 31, 2003, June 30, 2004, and, finally, extended the
expiration date again to June 30, 2005. We have the right to redeem the
outstanding rights for $.01 per right under certain conditions, which were not
met as of November 12, 2004. We
14
have reserved 970,076 shares of common stock for future issuance under this
rights offering. Since inception, we received $2,482,009 before expenses from
the prior exercise of 292,001 of these rights.
In March 2001, our Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain
business and market conditions, the purchase of up to $1,000,000 of our common
stock. During 2002, we purchased 20,000 shares totaling approximately $123,000
and subsequently retired these shares. In 2004, we purchased a total of 20,200
shares totaling $98,751 and subsequently retired these shares. We may purchase
additional shares as certain conditions warrant it.
On March 27, 2003, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold
30,000 shares of our Series A 8% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share, for $3,000,000 before expenses to Gryphon Master Fund,
L.P. Each share of Preferred Stock entitled the holder to receive dividends of
8% per annum and is currently convertible into 15.1515 shares of our common
stock for a total of 454,545 shares of common stock. Additionally, the investors
were issued five year warrants to purchase 113,636 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $6.78. Dividend payments of approximately $120,000 in cash are
due semi-annually beginning September 30, 2003. In connection with this
financing, we paid agent fees of $150,000 and issued warrants and options to
purchase 8,854 shares of common stock at a price of $6.78. Shares of preferred
stock are convertible at the option of Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. at any time
prior to redemption. We may redeem any or all of the preferred stock at any time
after one year from the closing date at a cash redemption price of $100 per
share, providing the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock for 20
out of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds $13.20 per share. We must redeem all
of the Preferred Stock outstanding on the fifth anniversary of the closing date
at a redemption price, in cash, equal to the purchase price of the Preferred
Stock. A registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants was declared
effective in September 2003.
We currently anticipate that our available cash in hand and marketable
securities and cash resources from expected revenues from the sale of the units
in inventory and the licensing of our technology will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next twelve months. These requirements are expected to include the purchase
of inventory, product development, sales and marketing, working capital
requirements and other general corporate purposes. We may need to raise
additional funds, however, to respond to business contingencies which may
include the need to fund more rapid expansion, fund additional marketing
expenditures, develop new markets for our ID-Check technology, enhance our
operating infrastructure, respond to competitive pressures, or acquire
complementary businesses or necessary technologies. Therefore, we are currently
in the process of investigating various opportunities to raise additional
capital.
(d) Net Operating Loss Carry forwards
As of September 30, 2004 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards
(NOL's) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $26.5 million. There
can be no assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the NOL's. The
federal NOL's are available to offset future taxable income and expire from 2018
through 2023 if not utilized. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code,
these NOL's may be limited due to ownership changes.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements
and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed
any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on
non-financial assets.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The foregoing contains certain forward-looking statements. Due to the fact
that our business is characterized by rapidly changing technology, high capital
requirements and an influx of new companies trying to respond to enhanced
security needs as a result of current events, actual results and outcomes may
differ materially from any such forward looking statements and, in general, are
difficult to forecast.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
None
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Internal Controls
We maintain a system of internal controls and procedures designed to
provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management's general or specific authorization; (ii) records are maintained
in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and
dispositions of assets; (iii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, and to maintain accountability for assets; (iv) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization; and (v) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls
and procedures. Such evaluation was conducted as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are
effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
control over financial reporting.
Part II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Matters
On April 9, 2003, we received notification from the American Arbitration
Association that it had awarded Early Bird Capital $921,730 on the settlement of
their demand. We had filed with the New York State Supreme Court an application
for setting aside the confirmation of the award. On October 14, 2003, the court
confirmed the award with interest at a rate of 9% per annum beginning April 9,
2003. We recorded a charge of $921,730 in our Statements of Operations for the
three month period ending September 30, 2003. We secured a one year letter of
credit for the full amount of the charge along with interest in the form of a
certificate of deposit. On March 5, 2004, we paid $950,000 to Early Bird
Capital, which included interest expense recorded in the year ended December 31,
2003, as full settlement in this matter.

On August 1, 2003, we filed a summons and complaint against Tricom Card
Technologies, Inc. alleging infringement on our patent seeking injunctive and
monetary relief. On October 23, 2003, we amended our complaint to include
infringement on an additional patent. On May 18, 2004 we filed a Second Amended
Complaint alleging infringement and inducement to infringe against certain
principals of Tricom in their personal capacities, as well as alleging in the
alternative false advertising claims under the Lanham Act against all the
defendants. These principals have moved to dismiss the claims against them, and
Tricom has moved to dismiss the false advertising claims. We have opposed the
motions. The Joint Pretrial order is due for filing on November 19, 2004.
We are not aware of any infringement by our products or technology on the
proprietary rights of others.
Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any legal
or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to
have a material adverse effect on our business.
