NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. | Throughout this report, the terms we, us, ours, ISC and company refer to
Intelligent Systems Corporation, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. |
2. | The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Form 10-Q have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ISC
management, these Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which comprise
only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and
results of operations as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009
and 2008. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements
should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
3. | Reclassification We reclassified shipping and handling amounts billed to customers from
cost of sales to revenue totaling $237,000 and $877,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, respectively, to conform to our current period presentation. We classify
shipping and handling amounts billed to customers in revenue and the cost of the shipping and
handling to customers as a component of cost of revenue. |
4. | Discontinued Operations As explained in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, effective April 16,
2008, the company and two subsidiaries, VISaer, Inc. and VISaer (U.K.) Limited (collectively,
VISaer) completed the sale of substantially all the assets related to VISaers business
pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement) between
IBS Technics, Inc. (IBS Technics) and VISaer. IBS Technics is a subsidiary of IBS Software
Services, Inc., a software services company that had previously provided certain software
development services to VISaer as an independent third party contractor. The VISaer business
is presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. |
The following condensed financial information is provided for the VISaer discontinued operations
for the periods shown. |

6. | Stock-based Compensation At September 30, 2009, we have two stock-based
compensation plans in effect. We record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards by
recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value on a straight line basis over the service
periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience.
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a component of general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. We recorded $3,000 and $6,000
of stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively and $9,000 and $15,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. |
Page 6
Table of Contents
The estimated fair value of options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with assumptions as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K. |
As of September 30, 2009, there is $10,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock
options. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an aggregate of 12,000 options were granted to
the three independent members of our board of directors pursuant to the non-employee director
stock option plan (Director Plan). Pursuant to the terms of the Director Plan, the options were
granted at fair market value on the date of the Annual Shareholders meeting. No options were
exercised or forfeited during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. The
following table summarizes options as of September 30, 2009: |
Wgt Avg | ||||||||||||||||
Wgt Avg | Remaining | |||||||||||||||
Exercise | Contractual Life | Aggregate | ||||||||||||||

Vested and exercisable at
Sept. 30, 2009 |
215,000 | $ | 2.44 | 3.5 | |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value
(the difference between the companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the third
quarter of 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that
would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on
September 30, 2009. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair
market value of the companys stock. |
7. | Concentration of Revenue The following table indicates the percentage of consolidated
revenue represented by each customer for any period in which such customer represented more
than 10% of consolidated revenue. |

8. | Short-term Borrowings In June 2009, we renewed our working capital line of credit with our
bank. The revolving line of credit bears interest at the higher of the prime rate plus one
and one half percent and 6.75% (6.75% at September 30, 2009), is secured by all assets of the
company and our principal subsidiaries, is guaranteed by our subsidiaries, and expires June
30, 2010. We may borrow an aggregate of 80 percent of qualified accounts receivable of our
consolidated subsidiaries plus 50 percent of inventory, up to a maximum of $1,250,000. At
September 30, 2009, our borrowing base calculation resulted in availability of $1,250,000, of
which we had drawn down zero. The terms of the loan contain typical covenants not to sell or
transfer material assets, to create liens against assets, to merge with another entity, to
change corporate structure or the nature of our business, to declare or pay dividends, or to
redeem shares of common stock. The loan agreement also contains covenants not to change the
chief executive and chief financial officers of the company or to make loans to or invest in
new minority-owned companies, without first obtaining the consent of our bank in each case.
Furthermore, the terms of the loan renewal include a covenant requiring the company to
maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the loan agreement) at the end of each
calendar quarter beginning September 30, 2009. The company was in compliance with this
covenant as of September 30, 2009. |
9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Lease On June 1, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our lease for the facility at 4355
Shackelford Road, Norcross, Georgia that houses our corporate offices and the operations of our
two subsidiary companies. The amendment extended the term of the lease for three years through
May 31, 2012. All other terms and conditions of the original lease remain unchanged. The lease
is with a related party as explained in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in our 2008 Form 10-K. |

Legal Matters In December 2004, our ChemFree subsidiary filed a patent infringement
action against J. Walter Co. Ltd. and J. Walter, Inc. in the United States Court for the
Northern District of Georgia. The complaint alleges that certain of the defendants products
infringe various U.S. patents held by ChemFree and seeks a ruling to compel the defendants to
cease their infringing activities. The defendants have asserted various defenses. The trial
took place during the week of July 13, 2009. At the conclusion of the trial, the judge issued
several rulings from the bench which supported two of ChemFrees claims. However, other
substantive matters have not yet been ruled upon. The parties submitted closing arguments and
other filings in August 2009. The remaining issues are expected to be ruled upon by the judge
at some unspecified future date. While the resolution and timing of any legal action is not
predictable, ChemFree believes it has sufficient grounds to prevail in these actions, although
there can be no assurance that the remaining issues will be resolved in its favor. Depending
upon the final rulings, ChemFree will have a number of options to consider which could include
but are not limited to pursuit of recovery of damages or an appeal. |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we were contacted by management of IBS Technics,
the company that acquired certain assets and operations of our VISaer subisidiary, as explained
in more detail in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. They propose an adjustment
to the $1.5 million owed to VISaer in three equal installments beginning April 2010 for an
alleged breach of a representation in the Asset Purchase Agreement. We disagree with their
allegation. Although there has been no formal request to arbitrate the matter as required under
the contract, this dispute may result in legal action if the parties are not able to reach a
resolution. Given the status of the matter and our belief that we have reasonable grounds to
refute their allegations, presently we have not taken a reserve against the amount receivable
from IBS Technics, of $1.4 Million, net of discount and expenses, at September 30, 2009. |
Except as noted above, other commitments and contingencies described in Note 9 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K are unchanged. |
10. | Income Taxes We account for income taxes as required by the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification. This Topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements and prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Topic also provides guidance on
derecognition, measurement, clarification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition issues. We have recognized tax benefits from all tax
positions we have taken, and there has been no adjustment to any carry forwards (net operating
loss or research and development credits). As of September 30, 2009, we do not have any
unrecognized tax benefits and we do not anticipate any significant changes in the balance of
unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. |
Our policy is to recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest
expense and related penalties, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses. No such
interest expense or penalties were recognized during the three or nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008. |
We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for all subsidiaries in which our
ownership exceeds 80 percent, as well as individual subsidiary returns in various states and
foreign jurisdictions. For periods prior to April 15, 2008, our VISaer subsidiary filed a
separate U.S. federal income tax return. With few exceptions we are no longer subject to U.S.
federal, state and local or foreign income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years
before 2005. |

12. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and certain other financial instruments (such as short-term borrowings,
accrued expenses, and other current liabilities) included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets approximates their fair value principally due to the short-term maturity of
these instruments. The carrying value of non-interest bearing notes receivables beyond one
year have been discounted at a rate of 6% which approximates rates currently offered in the
market for notes receivable with similar terms and conditions. The fair value of equity
method and cost method investments has not been determined as it was impracticable to do so. |
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and trade accounts and notes receivable. Our available cash and cash
equivalents are held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions and consists of
cash in our operating accounts and invested cash. The invested cash is invested in
interest-bearing funds managed by third-party financial institutions. These funds generally
invest in direct obligations of the government of the United States. Cash held in operating
accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. While
we monitor cash and cash equivalents balances in our operating accounts
on a regular basis and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if
the underlying financial institutions fail. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of
access to our cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our
cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. |

13. | Stockholder Rights Offering On July 17, 2009, we completed a rights offering of common
stock to our shareholders. Under the terms of the rights offering, we distributed at no
charge to the holders of our common stock non-transferable rights to purchase shares of our
common stock. We distributed one right for each share of common stock owned by such holder on
the record date of June 17, 2009. Each right entitled the holder to purchase one share of our
common stock at a subscription price of $.70 per share. Stockholders on the record date were
also entitled to subscribe, subject to allotment among all subscribing stockholders, for
additional shares not subscribed for by other stockholders. A registration statement relating
to the rights offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission was declared
effective on June 18, 2009. The rights offering commenced on June 18, 2009 and terminated on
July 17, 2009. The company sold 4,479,014 new shares of common stock and received gross
proceeds of $3,135,310, less expenses related to the transaction of $149,000, from the rights
offering. Giving effect to the rights offering, we have 8,958,028 shares of common stock
outstanding as of September 30, 2009. Subsequent to the completion of the rights offering, we
paid down our working capital line of credit in full and expect to use remaining proceeds from
the rights offering primarily to support plans for our CoreCard subsidiary as well as other
general working capital purposes. |
14. | Subsequent Events We evaluated subsequent events through November 11, 2009 when these
financial statements were issued. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred
subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
15. | New Accounting Pronouncements In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which amends Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2009-13 amends the ASC to
eliminate the residual method of allocation for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, and
requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all
deliverables using the relative selling price method. The ASU also establishes a selling
price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which includes: (1)
vendor-specific objective evidence if available, (2) third-party evidence if vendor-specific
evidence is not available, and (3) estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor
third-party evidence is available. Additionally, ASU 2009-13 expands the disclosure
requirements related to a vendors multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The changes to
the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010
(January 1, 2011 for us), and we are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance establishing general standards of accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial
statements are issued. This guidance, which was incorporated into ASC Topic 855, Subsequent
Events, was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and
the adoption did not have any impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance establishing accounting and reporting
standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent.
Specifically, this guidance requires the presentation of noncontrolling interests as equity in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and separate identification and presentation in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations of net income attributable to the entity and the
noncontrolling interest. This guidance, which was incorporated into ASC Topic 810,
Consolidation, was adopted by us as of January 1, 2009, and, as required, was applied to the
prior periods financial statements. This guidance also established accounting and reporting
standards regarding deconsolidation and changes in a parents ownership interest, which will be
applied prospectively to any such transactions in 2009 onward. As a result of the adoption, we
reclassified a non-controlling interest totaling $1,516,000, which had previously been recorded
in the liability section of the consolidated balance sheets, as a component of stockholders
equity for all periods presented. |
In December 2007, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance related to business
combinations, which provides for recognition and measurement of identifiable assets and goodwill
acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value.
The guidance also established disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and
financial effects of a business combination. We adopted this guidance, which was incorporated
into ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, as of January 1, 2009, and the adoption did not
have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
We have considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and do not believe the
adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. |

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements
relating to ISC. All statements, trend analyses and other information relative to markets for our
products and trends in revenue, gross margins and anticipated expense levels, as well as other
statements including words such as anticipate, believe, plan, estimate, expect, and
intend, and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements. Prospective
investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties including those factors described below under
Factors That May Affect Future Operations, and that actual results may differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. ISC undertakes no obligation to update or
revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated
events or changes in future operating results.
For purposes of this discussion and analysis, we are assuming and relying upon the readers
familiarity with the information contained in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
Our consolidated subsidiaries operate in two industry segments: Information Technology Products and
Services (Information Technology) and Industrial Products. The Industrial Products segment
consists of ChemFree Corporation (ChemFree) (bio-remediating parts washers). The Information
Technology sector consists of CoreCard Software, Inc. (CoreCard) (software for managing accounts
receivables, credit and prepaid cards). As discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, we sold our VISaer business as of April 16, 2008. Accordingly, the Consolidated
Financial Statements reported in this Form 10-Q and the discussion below do not include the results
of our VISaer subsidiary as part of continuing operations.
We derive our product revenue from sales of software licenses in our Information Technology sector
and sales and leases of equipment and supplies in our Industrial Products sector. Our service
revenue consists of fees for implementation, consulting, training, maintenance and support for
software products in our Information Technology sector. Our consolidated revenue is the aggregate
of the revenue generated at our subsidiary companies. Our revenue fluctuates from period to period
and our results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods.
Period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful and it is difficult to predict the level of
consolidated revenue on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, including the
following:
| A change in revenue level at one of our subsidiaries may impact consolidated revenue or
be offset by an opposing change at another subsidiary. |
||
| Customers may decide to postpone or cancel a planned implementation of our software for
any number of reasons, which may be unrelated to our software features or contract
performance, but which may affect the amount, timing and characterization of our deferred
and/or recognized revenue. |
||
| In a given period, new license revenue related to our Information Technology sector may
consist of a relatively small number of new contracts. Consequently, even small delays in a
delivery under a new software contract (which may be out of our control) could have a
significant and unpredictable impact on consolidated revenue that we recognize in a given
quarterly or annual period. |
Frequently we incur consolidated operating losses on a quarterly and annual basis and are likely to
do so in the future from time to time. Our operating expenses consist of the aggregate of our
subsidiaries expenses and the corporate office expenses. Our ChemFree subsidiary generates an
operating profit on a regular basis but our earlier stage subsidiary, CoreCard, is not
consistently profitable, mainly due to significant research and development expense that is
invested to complete new product offerings and the deferral of revenue recognition until such
products are delivered to and accepted by customers. Depending upon the size and number of
software licenses recognized in a particular period and the level of expenses incurred to support
development and sales activities, CoreCard may report operating profits on an irregular basis as it
builds its customer base. A significant portion of our subsidiaries expense is related to
personnel. For these and other reasons, our operating profits or losses may vary from quarter to
quarter and at the present time are generally not predictable with any degree of certainty.

Table of Contents
From time to time, we also generate income or incur losses from non-operating sources and we may do
so in the future. We may derive income from sales of holdings in subsidiary, affiliate and other
minority-owned companies, as exemplified in the VISaer sale, discussed in more detail in Note 4 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements. Occasionally, we record a charge if we believe the value of
a non-consolidated company is impaired. We also recognize on a quarterly basis our pro rata share
of the income or losses of a minority-owned affiliate company accounted for by the equity method.
The timing and amount of gain or loss recognized as a result of a sale or the amount of equity in
the income or losses of affiliates generally are not under our control and are not necessarily
indicative of future results, either on a quarterly or annual basis.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this quarterly report.
Revenue Total revenue from continuing operations in the three month period ended September 30,
2009 was $3.4 million, equal to the revenue reported in the third quarter of 2008, but an increase
of 23 percent and 9 percent compared to the first and second quarters of 2009, respectively. For
the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, total revenue was $9.3 million, a decline of 21
percent compared to the same period in 2008.
| Revenue from products, which includes sales and leases of equipment and supplies in our
Industrial Products segment as well as software license fees related to the Information
Technology segment, was $3.1 million in both three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and
2008. In the year-to-date period of 2009, product revenue declined by 26 percent compared to
the first nine months of 2008. The 2009 year-to-date decline is primarily due to the fact that
in the first half of 2008, one of ChemFrees largest customers was in the middle of a national
program to sell ChemFree products resulting in a high initial volume of sales. With the
initial rollout complete, as anticipated the number of new machines sold to this customer in
the first half of 2009 was lower than during the rollout period last year. During the first
two quarters of 2009, there was also a period-to-period decline in equipment sales in the
international market reflecting the general economic slowdown in certain European markets.
However, in the third quarter of 2009, sales of new SmartWasher® machines in both the domestic
and international markets were stronger than in the first two quarters of 2009. Worldwide
sales of ChemFrees fluid and filter consumables in the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009 increased compared to the same periods in 2008, reflecting an increasing
base of users of its SmartWasher® part washers. However, sales of fluid to the European
market were lower in the year-to-date 2009 period compared to the nine month period of 2008
due to a transition to a new fluid blending facility in the UK. In order to reduce shipping
costs and improve supply to its European market, effective in the third quarter of 2009,
ChemFree earns a fee based on fluid blended in the UK that is equal to the gross margin
ChemFree historically earned on fluid shipments from the US to its UK distributor. As a
result, gross revenue reported on fluid for the European markets is lower in 2009 (and will be
going forward as well) but the gross profit to ChemFree is comparable under this new
arrangement to what it would have earned shipping bulky fluid containers overseas. |
| Software license revenue associated with the Information Technology segment increased in
both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared to the respective
periods in 2008 due to more new license contracts. The company recognizes software license
revenue generally upon completion of each contract and acceptance by customers. |
| Service revenue associated with the Information Technology segment was $268,000 and
$1,112,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, representing a decline of 12
percent and an increase of 57 percent compared to the respective periods in 2008.
Year-to-date, the growth in service revenue is attributed to increased professional services
projects that were completed for CoreCard customers as well as an increase in the installed
base of customers that pay for maintenance and technical support. On a quarterly basis,
revenue from customer projects will vary depending on customer requirements and timetables,
whereas maintenance revenue is fairly consistent. |
| Due to general economic conditions and uncertainty about the impact of a slow economy on
the automotive repair and supplies industry, ChemFree had anticipated a relatively flat volume
of machine sales for 2009 and carefully managed its costs and inventory levels accordingly.
Sales of replenishment fluid and filter to the installed base of customers and lease revenue
have been relatively unaffected by fluctuations in general economic conditions. Turmoil in the
global financial markets could impact CoreCards revenue and prospects in the foreseeable
future if customers or prospects postpone software purchases or implementations. We are
carefully monitoring the evolving dynamics in the marketplace and proactively lowered expenses
going into 2009. We expect to fully support existing customers and contracts and have added
new prospects and customers in 2009. We expect to use the funds received from the successful
completion of our stockholder rights offering as described in more detail in Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements to support CoreCards growth plans, as well as other general
corporate purposes. |

Cost of Revenue Total cost of revenue was 53 percent and 54 percent of total revenue in the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to 58 percent and 60
percent of total revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008,
respectively. The improvement in 2009 is related mainly to favorable changes in ChemFrees product
mix in both the three and nine month periods in 2009.
| Cost of product revenue was 51 percent and 52 percent of product revenue in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively compared to costs of 58 percent of
product revenue in the three and nine month periods in 2008. Revenue from higher margin
fluid and filters and software licenses was a larger percentage of product revenue in 2009
than in the comparable periods in 2008, resulting in the improved gross margin. |
||
| Cost of service revenue (which relates to our CoreCard business only) was significantly
lower as a percent of service revenue in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period last year. The mix of service revenue in a given period, as
well as the number of customers and new products being supported, impacts the gross margin
on service revenue. The year-to-date improvement in gross margin in 2009 is due in part to
a higher volume of professional service revenue which has a relatively lower cost to
deliver than does our customer support and maintenance revenue (both of which are included
in the category of service revenue). CoreCard is providing a high level of support to its
initial customers to ensure it builds a solid base of reference customers and puts in place
an infrastructure for future growth. Cost of providing routine maintenance and support
services as a percentage of service revenue is expected to decrease as CoreCards installed
base of customers increases, whereas the cost of professional services is expected to have
a relatively consistent gross margin percentage from period to period for similar types of
projects. |
Operating Expenses In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, total
consolidated operating expenses were lower by 12 percent and 30 percent, respectively, than in the
corresponding periods in 2008. At the beginning of 2009, we implemented company-wide headcount
reductions and pay cuts. These actions and the associated reductions in personnel-related and
travel expenses resulted in substantial cost savings in the three and nine month periods of 2009 as
compared to the respective periods in 2008. Consolidated marketing expenses declined by 10 percent
and 33 percent in the three and nine month periods in 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008
mainly due to lower sales commissions paid by ChemFree and a reduction in personnel and travel
related expenses. Consolidated general and administrative expenses were 7 percent higher in the
three month period ended September 30, 2009 but 22 percent lower in the nine month period ended
September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The changes reflect lower
personnel-related expenses in both periods in 2009 and lower legal expenses for the year-to-date
period in 2009 compared to year-to-date in 2008. However, legal expenses in the third quarter of
2009 were significantly higher than in the third quarter of 2008, reflecting the trial that took
place in July 2009 related to ChemFrees legal action, as explained in more detail in Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Consolidated research and development expenses were 31 percent
and 38 percent lower in the three and nine month periods in 2009, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2008, mainly due to a reduction in consulting fees and personnel-related expenses
associated with our CoreCard business. In August 2009, the company increased the base salary
levels for most of its personnel back to the level that had been in place before the company-wide
pay cuts were implemented at the beginning of the year.
Interest Income (Expense), net We recorded net interest income of $26,000 and $57,000 in the
three and nine month periods in 2009 compared to net interest income of $5,000 and interest expense
of $4,000 in the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2008. The difference between periods
reflects primarily the net effect of periodic fluctuations in our bank borrowings and notes
receivable balances.
Equity in Income of Affiliate Company On a quarterly basis, we recognize our pro rata share of
the earnings or losses of our affiliate company that we record on the equity method. We recorded
$4,000 and $24,000 in net equity income of our affiliate company in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, respectively. These amounts are lower as compared to the respective periods in
2008, reflecting a decline in profitability of the affiliate company.
Other Income We recorded $6,000 and $18,000 of other miscellaneous income items in the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009.
Income Taxes We recorded $6,000 and $10,000 in the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2009 for state income tax expense. We believe our net deferred tax assets should be fully
reserved at September 30, 2009 given their character and our historical losses. Accordingly, no
deferred tax assets have been recorded at September 30, 2009.

Discontinued Operations
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations The amounts recorded in 2008 reflect the operations of
our VISaer subsidiary which have been classified as a discontinued operation as a result of the
sale of the VISaer business as explained in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 17, 2009, we completed a rights offering of common stock to our shareholders. The company
sold 4,479,014 new shares of common stock and received gross proceeds from the rights offering of
$3.1 million, less expenses related to the transaction of $149,000. Subsequent to the completion
of the rights offering, we paid down our working capital line of credit in full and expect to use
remaining proceeds from the rights offering primarily to support plans for our CoreCard subsidiary
as well as other general working capital purposes.
Our cash balance at September 30, 2009 was $3.3 million compared to a cash balance of $1.0 million
at December 31, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our principal sources of
cash were net proceeds of $3.0 million from the shareholder rights offering completed on July 19,
2009, borrowings of $335,000 on our line of credit and $352,000 from payments received on notes
receivable. Other working capital sources of cash include a reduction in inventory levels of
$247,000, an increase in deferred revenue of $513,000 and an increase of $209,000 in accounts
payable. During the nine month period, we used $645,000 in net cash for operations, principally to
support CoreCard and its international software development and testing operations and our
corporate office, and paid down $660,000 on our bank line of credit. Working capital uses of cash
included an increase in accounts receivable of $435,000, reflecting increased billings.
As explained in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in June 2009 we renewed our bank
line of credit for an additional one-year term, expiring June 30, 2010. The line, which we use from
time to time to support short-term cash needs, has a maximum availability of $1.25 million based on
qualifying accounts receivable and inventory levels. We presently project that we will have
sufficient accounts receivable, inventory balances and tangible net worth for the foreseeable
future to support the line of credit borrowing base for any required draws under our bank line of
credit, although we presently anticipate limited, if any, borrowings in the foreseeable future,
given the recent proceeds from the rights offering. However, if we fail to control costs, if we
fail to meet software delivery commitments, if anticipated customer payments are delayed for any
reason or if we encounter unforeseen delays in product development or production, we could require
more cash than presently planned.
Long-term, we currently expect that liquidity will continue to improve and consolidated operations
will generate sufficient cash to fund their requirements with use of our credit facility if
necessary to accommodate short-term needs. Other long-term sources of liquidity include potential
sales of investments or subsidiaries although the timing and amount of any such transactions are
uncertain and, to the extent they involve non-consolidated companies, generally not within our
control.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
Consolidated Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of
acquired intangibles and impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of investments to be
critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each. Management discusses its
estimates and judgments with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. For a detailed
description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008. Reference is also made to the discussion of the application of these
critical accounting policies and estimates contained in Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2008. Except
as explained in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009, there were no significant or material changes in the application
of critical accounting policies that would require an update to the information provided in the
Form 10-K for 2008.

Factors That May Affect Future Operations
Future operations in both the Information Technology and Industrial Products segments are subject
to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact our future results of operations or projected
cash requirements. It is difficult to predict future quarterly and annual results with certainty.
Any trend or delay that affects one of our subsidiaries could have a negative impact on the
companys consolidated results of operations or cash requirements on a quarterly or annual basis.
In addition, the carrying value of our investments is impacted by a number of factors which are
generally beyond our control since we are typically a non-controlling shareholder in a private
company with limited liquidity.
Among the numerous factors that may affect our consolidated results of operations or financial
condition are the following:
| Turmoil in the global financial markets could have a serious negative impact on CoreCard
due to potential customers (most of whom are financial institutions or services firms)
delaying purchase or implementation decisions. |
| Reluctance by financial institutions to act as sponsor banks for prospective customers
(such as issuers and processors of credit and prepaid cards) could increase CoreCards losses
and cash requirements. |
| It is unclear to what extent the general weakness in the domestic US and European economies
will impact the automotive parts and repair industry and reduce future demand for ChemFrees
SmartWasher® products. |
| Delays in software development projects could cause our customers to delay implementations
or delay payments, which would increase our costs and reduce our revenue. |
| Our CoreCard subsidiary could fail to deliver software products which meet the business and
technology requirements of its target markets within a reasonable time frame and at a price
point that supports a profitable, sustainable business model. |
| One of ChemFrees customers represented 37 percent of our consolidated revenue in the first
nine months of 2009 and any unplanned changes in the volume of orders or timeliness of
payments from such customer could have a negative impact on revenue, profits, inventory levels
and cash, at least in the near-term. |
| Failure by ChemFree to protect its intellectual property assets could increase competition
in the marketplace and result in greater price pressure and lower margins, thus potentially
impacting sales, profits and projected cash flows. |
| Software errors or poor quality control may delay product releases, increase our costs,
result in non-acceptance of our software by customers or delay revenue recognition. |
| Compliance with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will increase expenses and divert management and staff
resources. |
| Competitive pressures (including pricing, changes in customer requirements and preferences,
and competitor product offerings) may cause prospective customers to choose an alternative
product solution, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses). |
| CoreCard could fail to expand its base of customers, resulting in lower revenue and profits
(or increased losses), increased cash needs and possibly leading to restructuring or cutting
back of the subsidiarys operations. |
| In certain limited situations, ChemFree lease customers are permitted to terminate the
lease covering a SmartWasher® machine, requiring the unamortized balance of the original
machine cost to be written off which could reduce profits in that reporting period and result
in lower revenue in future periods. |
| CoreCard could fail to retain key software developers and managers who have accumulated
years of know-how in our target markets and company products, or fail to attract and train a
sufficient number of new software developers and testers to support our product development
plans and customer requirements at projected cost levels. |
| Delays in anticipated customer payments for any reason would increase our cash requirements
and possibly our losses. |
| Declines in performance, financial condition or valuation of minority-owned companies could
cause us to write-down the carrying value of our investment or postpone an anticipated
liquidity event, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash flow. |
| Failure to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of NYSE Amex could result
in delisting of our common stock, with a potentially negative impact on market price and
liquidity of our common stock. |
| Other general economic and political conditions could cause customers to delay or cancel
software purchases. |
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of the companys management, including the companys
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the
Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no
significant changes in the companys internal control over financial reporting or in other factors
identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the companys internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Other than as described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are not currently
subject to any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we may become a party to
certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2009, we do not
believe any ongoing legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
