NOTES
TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2007
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
the
accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of operations and
cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items,
necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year.
For
further information regarding Document Security Systems, Inc (the “Company”)
accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements
and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates
and assumptions.
Revenue
Recognition
-
Sales
of
security and other printing products, and legal products are recognized when
a
product or service is delivered, shipped or provided to the customer and all
material conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed.
We
recognize revenue from technology licenses over the term of license agreements
once all the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: (1)
persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; (2) the right and ability to use
the
product or technology has been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable
and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (4) collection of the amounts
due
is reasonably assured.
For
digital solutions sales, revenue is recognized in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountant's Statement of Position (SOP) No.
97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition," as modified by SOP No. 98-9, "Modification
of
SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions"
and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Accordingly,
revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1)
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service or product
has
been provided to the customer; (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer
is fixed or determinable (4) the collection of our fees is reasonably
assured.
6
We
also
enter into arrangements under which we provide hosted software applications.
We
recognize revenue for these arrangements based on the provisions of EITF No.
00-3, Application of AICPA SOP 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right
to
Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware (“EITF 00-3”), and the
provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements”, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement,
collection of the resulting receivable is probable, the fee is fixed or
determinable and acceptance has occurred. Our revenues related to these
arrangements consist of system implementation service fees and software
subscription fees. We have determined that the system implementation services
represent set-up services that do not qualify as separate units of accounting
from the software subscriptions as the customer would not purchase these
services without the purchase of the software subscription. As a result, we
recognize system implementation fees ratably over a period of time from when
the
core system implementation services are completed and accepted by the customer
over the remaining customer relationship life, which we have determined is
the
contractual life of the customer’s subscription agreement. We recognize software
subscription fees, which typically commence upon completion of the related
system implementation, ratably over the applicable subscription period. Amounts
billed and/or collected prior to satisfying our revenue recognition policy
are
reflected as deferred revenue.
Share-Based
Payments -
The
Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based
compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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". The EITF applies when the fair value of the equity
instrument issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable
than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is determined
based
on the measurement date which is the date that the commitment for performance
by
the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty's performance is complete.
Prior to the measurement date, the fair value is determined at each reporting
date and used as an estimate of the expected fair value to record compensation
as the services are being performed and the instruments are being earned.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
-In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial
Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial
statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and requires
a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions and determine if they should
be
recognized in the financial statements. The two-step approach involves
recognizing any tax positions that are “more likely than not” to occur and then
measuring those positions to determine if they are recognizable in the financial
statements. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. (See Note

Shareholders’ Equity
Stock
Issued for Patent Defense Costs - On
November 14, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with McDermott Will
& Emery LLP (“MWE”), its lead counsel on its European Central Bank (“ECB
Litigation”) patent infringement and related cases. The agreement with MWE
allows the Company to use its common stock with a value not to exceed $1.2
million to eliminate the Company’s cash requirements for MWE’s legal fees
related to the ECB patent validity litigation. During the six months ended
June
30, 2007, 60,866 restricted common shares were issued to MWE to pay for
approximately $746,000 of legal fees incurred through June 30, 2007.
Stock
Issued in Private Placement - On
January 22, 2007, the Company sold 6 units at a price of $50,000 per unit for
gross cash proceeds of $300,000, consisting of 35,280 unregistered shares of
our
common stock and five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,640
shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $11.75 per share. The fair
market value of these warrants was determined using the Black Scholes option
pricing model at $107,000. The Company incurred placement agent fees associated
with the offering equal to 9% commissions, or $27,000. In addition, during
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company paid $470,000 of private placement
fees related to an offering that occurred during 2006.
Restricted
Stock - On
May 3,
2007, the Company granted 25,000 restricted shares that will vest over two
years
to a member of its senior management team. These shares were valued at the
fair
value on the grant date at approximately $312,000. Also on May 3, 2007, the
Company granted 445,000 restricted shares of common stock pursuant to the
Company’s 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan to certain members of senior
management. These shares only vest upon the occurrence of certain events over
the next 5 years, which include a change of control or other merger or
acquisition of the Company, the achievement of certain financial goals,
including among other things a successful result of the Company’s patent
infringement lawsuit against the European Central Bank. These shares, if vested,
would result in the recording of stock based compensation expense of
approximately $5,563,000 over the period beginning when any of the contingent
vesting events is deemed to be probable over the expected requisite service
period.
8
Stock
Options
- On
March 26, 2007, the Company issued 150,000 options to purchase the Company’s
shares at $10.89 per share to a third party consultant that vest over a 3 years,
subject to certain vesting acceleration provisions. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $93,000 of compensation
expense associated with these options. The Company records stock based payment
expense related to these options at the then current fair value of at each
reporting date as the services are performed in accordance with EITF 96-18.
During
2007, the Company has issued 157,500 options to purchase the Company’s shares at
exercise prices ranging from $11.10 to $12.50 per share to employees and
directors that vest between 1 to 2 years. During the six months ended June
30,
2007, the Company recognized approximately $107,000 of compensation expense
associated with these options. The Company values stock options utilizing the
Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company records stock based payment
expense related to these options based on the grant date fair value in
accordance with FASB 123R.
In
June 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved
the addition of 500,000 shares of Company Stock authorized to be issued under
the Company's 2004 Employee's Stock Option Plan. The approval and any
grants covered under these shares are subject to shareholder
approval.
Stock
Warrants
-During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company received approximately $55,000
in proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase 12,125 shares of our
common stock.
On
June
13, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with International Barcode
Technologies, also known as BTI, to extend the expiration date of warrants
to
purchase 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price
of
$10.00 per share that the Company previously issued to BTI with an original
expiration date of June 16, 2007 to December 31, 2007 in exchange for
which BTI has agreed to provide the Company with a license to market and produce
BTI’s advanced barcode technologies in the United States for five years. The
value of the extension of the warrant was determined to be approximately
$521,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This amount was recorded
as an other intangible asset and will be amortized over the expected useful
life
of the license agreement of five years.
Stock-Based
Compensation
- Stock-based
compensation includes expense charges for all stock-based awards to employees,
directors and consultants. Such awards include option grants, warrant grants,
and restricted stock awards. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, the Company recognized approximately $297,000 and $633,000, respectively
($253,000 and $280,000- 2006, respectively) in stock-based
compensation.
As
of
June 30, 2007, there was approximately $8.9 million of total unrecognized
compensation costs related to non-vested options and restricted stock granted
under the Company’s stock option plans, the cost of which will be recognized if
earned over a period not to exceed 5 years. The total fair value of options
and
restricted shares that vested during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007
was $318,000 ($59,000 - 2006).

Discontinued Operations
In
June
2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell various assets
relating to its retail copying and quickprinting operations, a component of
its
Document Security and Production segment. On July 19, 2007, the Company entered
into an agreement to sell certain assets and the operations of the
division. The sale includes fixed assets with a net book value of
approximately $38,000. The Company expects to finalize the sale during the
third
quarter of 2007 and expects that the gain from the sale to not be significant.
In accordance with SFAS 144, the disposal of assets constitute a component
of
the entity and have been accounted for as discontinued operation and
accordingly, the assets have been segregated from continuing operations in
the
accompanying balance sheet and classified as assets held for sale. The operating
results relating to these assets held for sale are segregated and reported
as
discontinued operations in the accompanying 2007 and 2006 consolidated statement
of operations. The results of operations directly attributed to the division’s
operations that have been reclassified from continuing operations are as
follows:

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by including the number of additional shares
that
would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. In
periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as
basic
loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would
be anti-dilutive. If
the
Company had generated earnings during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007,
693,671 (904,496- 2006) common equivalent shares would have been added to the
weighted average shares outstanding to compute the diluted weighted average
shares outstanding.
7.
Income Taxes
We
adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007.
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions recognized
in
financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized
in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being
sustained by the taxing authority. As of January 1, 2007, there were no
unrecognized tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties
on
unrecognized tax positions in provision for income taxes in the consolidated
statements of operations. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has no accrued
interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Tax years beginning
in
2003 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating
loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and
adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes
are used.

Legal
Matters
Pursuant
to an agreement made in December 2004, the Company is required to share the
economic benefit derived from settlements, licenses or subsequent business
arrangements that the Company obtains from any infringer of patents formerly
owned by the Wicker Family. For infringement matters involving certain U.S.
patents, the Company will be required to disburse 30% of the settlement
proceeds. For infringement matters involving certain foreign patents, including
the lawsuit against the European Central Bank described in Part II Item 1 -
Legal Proceedings, the Company will be required to disburse 14% of the
settlement proceeds. These payments do not apply to licenses or royalties to
patents that the Company has developed or obtained from persons other than
the
Wicker Family. As of June 30, 2007, there have been no settlement amounts
related to these agreements.
The
Company is engaged in a patent dispute with the European Central Bank (see
Part
II Item 1- Legal Proceedings). The patent dispute includes patent validity
suits
that the Company is engaged in nine European national courts. To date, the
Company has been able to significantly mitigate the cash outlays required for
legal costs associated with the dispute by negotiating legal fee caps and using
shares of its common stock for payments. However, the Company will be required
to pay additional legal costs and related fees, each of which may be
significant, in each of the nine validity suits. In addition, each party to
the
lawsuit will typically be responsible for reimbursements to the other party
for
a portion of the winning party’s legal fees related to individual rulings each
of the various cases. To date, the Company has received a favorable ruling
regarding validity in the German Court and an unfavorable ruling regarding
validity in the English Court. In the English Court, the Company was ordered
to
pay 180,000 pounds (USD $365,000) to the ECB for legal cost reimbursement,
of
which 90,000 pounds (USD $182,000) was paid on April 4, 2007 and the remaining
90,000 pounds (USD 182,000) is included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2007.
The Company is awaiting a determination by the German Court on the amount that
it will receive from the ECB for reimbursement of the Company’s legal costs. As
the validity cases and the infringement case ensue, the Company will be required
to utilize outside counsel in each foreign court and could continue to receive
adverse rulings which will require the Company to reimburse the ECB legal costs
which would likely be significant, with current estimates of the potential
remaining litigation costs relating to patent validity, not including costs
covered by fees caps negotiated with its lead counsel, of between $1,000,000
to
$2,000,000. The payment of these amounts and the payment of additional legal
fees could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and would likely
require the Company to raise additional funds, which may not be on terms
favorable to the Company.
11
In
May
2005, the Company made an agreement with its legal counsel in charge of the
Company’s patent infringement litigation in the Court of First Instance with the
European Central Bank which capped its fees for all matters associated with
that
infringement litigation at $540,000 plus expenses, and a $150,000 contingent
payment upon a successful ruling or settlement on the Company’s behalf in that
litigation. The Company will record the $150,000 in the period in which the
Company has determined that a successful ruling or settlement is probable.
In
addition to the foregoing, we are subject to other legal proceedings that have
arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been finally adjudicated.
Although there can be no assurance in this regard, in the opinion of management,
none of the legal proceedings to which we are a party, whether discussed herein
or otherwise, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
cash flows or our financial condition.
9.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued 60,866 shares of Common
Stock valued at approximately $746,000 in conjunction with the payment of legal
expenses which were capitalized as other intangible assets. In addition, the
Company extended the term of previously issued warrants to a warrant holder
in
exchange for a license valued at approximately $521,000. During the six months
ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 18,704 shares of Common Stock valued
at
$250,000 in conjunction with the acquisition of Plastic Printing
Professionals.
10.
Segment Information
The Company's businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as
four
operating segments. Three of these operating segments, Document Security
Systems, Plastic Printing Professionals and Patrick Printing, respectively,
are
engaged in various aspects of developing and applying printing technologies
and
procedures to produce, or allow others to produce, documents with a wide range
of features, including the Company’s patented technologies and trade secrets.
For the purposes of providing segment information, these three operating
segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 131- “Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
A
summary of the two segments is as follows:
Document
Security
and
Production
|
License,
manufacture and sale of document security technologies, including
digital
security print solutions and secure printed products at Document
Security
Systems and Plastic Printing Professionals divisions. In July 2007,
the
Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of its retail
printing and copying division, a former component of the Document
Security
and Production segment, to an unrelated third party as this operation
was
not critical to the Company’s core operations. The results of this
division are reported as discontinued operations and are not a component
of these segment results (See Note 5).

meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “1995
Reform Act”). Document Security Systems, Inc. desires to avail itself of certain
“safe harbor” provisions of the 1995 Reform Act and is therefore including this
special note to enable us to do so. Except for the historical information
contained herein, this report contains forward-looking statements (identified
by
the words "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "intend,"
"believe," "hope," "strategy" and similar expressions), which are based on
our
current expectations and speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors, including,
without limitation, those contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006 and those described herein that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking
statements.
Overview
Document
Security Systems, Inc. (referred to in this report as “Document Security,” “we,”
“us,” “our” or “Company”) markets and sells products designed to protect
valuable information from unauthorized scanning, copying, and digital imaging.
We develop sophisticated security technologies that are applied during the
normal printing process and by all printing methods including traditional
offset, gravure, flexo, digital or via the internet on paper, plastic, or
packaging. We believe we are a leader of customized document protection
solutions for companies and governments worldwide. We hold seven patents that
protect our technology and have over a dozen patents in process or pending.
Our
technologies and products are used by federal, state and local governments,
law
enforcement agencies and are also applied to a broad variety of industries
as
well, including financial institutions, high technology and consumer goods,
entertainment and gaming, healthcare/pharmaceutical, defense and genuine parts
industries. Our
customers use our technologies where there is a need for enhanced security
for
protecting and verification of critical financial instruments and vital records,
or where there are concerns of counterfeiting, fraud, identity theft, brand
protection and liability.
Our
core
business is counterfeit prevention, brand protection and validation of authentic
print media, including government-issued documents, currency, private corporate
records, securities and more. We believe we are a world leader in the research
and development of optical deterrent technologies and have commercialized these
technologies with a broad suite of products that offer our customers a wide
array of document security solutions that satisfy their specific
anti-counterfeiting requirements. We provide document security technology to
security printers, corporations and governments worldwide. Our technology can
be
used in securing sensitive and critical documents such as currency, automobile
titles, spare parts forms for the aerospace industry, gift certificates,
permits, checks, licenses, receipts, prescription and medical forms, engineering
schematics, ID cards, labels, original music, coupons, homeland security
manuals, consumer product and pharmaceutical packaging, tickets, and school
transcripts. In addition, we have developed an On-DemandTM
product
to implement our technologies in Internet-based environments utilizing standard
desktop printers. We believe that our On-Demand technology greatly expands
the
reach and potential market for our technologies and solutions.
14
Technologies
We
have
developed or acquired over 30 technologies that provide to our customers a
wide
spectrum of solutions. Our primary anti-counterfeiting products and technologies
are marketed under the following trade names:
· |
AuthentiGuard™
On-Demand
|
· |
AuthentiGuard™Laser

The
Company also seeks to expand its capabilities and product offerings, from
time
to time, that are complementary to the Company's document security
technologies. The Company promotes the concept that layers of security
provide the strongest level of security for any given document, including
documents containing RFID and biometric technologies.
In
June 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with
International Barcode Corporation, (BTI) to license the right to market and
produce BTI's advanced RSS bar-code technologies in the United States. In
late 2006, GSI adopted RSS bar codes as the standard for all scanning systems
by
2010. DSS believes that the adoption of RSS technology will be a part
of a major upgrade cycle in document technologies by companies around the
world, and that the incorporation of RSS technologies into its product suite
will enable the Company to be a benefactor of this market
trend.
Our
ability to compete effectively depends in part to
our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, products
and
manufacturing processes. We principally rely upon patent, trademark, trade
secrets and contract law to establish and protect our proprietary rights.
By aggressively defending our intellectual property rights, we believe that
we
may be able to secure a potentially significant amount of additional and ongoing
revenue by securing licensing agreements with those persons, companies or
governments that we believe are infringing our Patents.
Products
and Services
Document
Security Solutions and Production:
Our
technology portfolio allows us to create unique custom secure paper, plastic,
packaging and Internet-based solutions. We target end-users that require
anti-counterfeiting and authentication features in a wide range of printed
materials like documents, vital records, driver’s licenses, birth certificates,
receipts, manuals, identification materials, entertainment tickets, coupons,
parts tracking forms, as well as product packaging including pharmaceutical
and
a wide range of consumer goods.
Additionally,
our custom security solutions include our On-Demand technology that provides
custom hosted or server-based digital solutions for our customers. Depending
on
our customer’s specific requirements, we host a secure server that accepts user
inputs and delivers custom, variable secure documents for output at the user
location, or offer a bundled server solution that allows for the production
of
custom, variable secure documents within the user’s network
environment.
Security
Paper:
Our
primary product for the retail end-user market is AuthentiGuard Security Paper.
AuthentiGuard Security Paper uses our Pantograph 4000 technology. It is a paper
that reveals hidden warning words, logos or images using The Authenticator-
our
proprietary viewing lens - or when the paper is faxed, copied, scanned or
re-imaged in any form. The hidden words appear on the duplicate or the computer
digital file and essentially prevents important documents from being
counterfeited. We market and sell our Security Paper primarily through two

Technology
Licensing: We
license our anti-counterfeiting technology and trade secrets through licensing
arrangements with security printers. We seek licensees that have a broad
customer base that can benefit from our technologies or have unique and
strategic capabilities that expand the capabilities that we can offer our
potential customers. Revenue from Licensing can take several forms. Licenses
can
be for a single technology or for a package of technologies.
Licensee's can choose from a variety of payment models, such as:
15
· |
Pay
one price per year - Licensee will estimate their annual usage and
a
single payment is paid and reviewed each year based on actual
results.
|
· |
Pay
a percentage of sales of the technology - Licensees only pay as they
sell
product containing the technology. If, for example, they sell $1
million
in our security technology printing, they would pay us from 2.5%
to 10% of
the sales price of their jobs.
|
· |
Pay
on a per piece method - Licensees pay royalties based on a price
per
piece. A pre-determined price schedule is implemented based on
job volumes and a per-piece price is utilized. Typically, the higher
the
volume, the lower the price per
piece.
|
· |
Joint
venture licensing- profit sharing arrangement with clients where
DSS
shares the net profit of all products sold containing DSS
Technologies.
|
Legal
Products:
We also
own and operate Legalstore.com, an Internet company which sells legal supplies
and documents, including security paper and products for the users of legal
documents and supplies in the legal, medical and educational fields. While
not a
component of our core business strategy, we continuously seek to maximize the
revenue and profitability of this operation.
Results
of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June
30, 2007
The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of
operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and footnotes in this quarterly report and in
our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. All amounts
have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s results after affect of discontinued
operations. During the second quarter of 2007, the Board of Directors approved
a
plan to sell and the Company entered into a preliminary agreement to sell its
copying and quick-printing business to a private investor. In accordance with
FASB 144, the Company accounts for the revenue and expenses of this operation,
which is a component of its security printing segment, as a discontinued
operation.
The
following discussion also includes a non-GAAP financial measure which has been
reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure of net loss. Our
management believes that this performance measure is a relevant indicator of
the
Company’s financial performance.

For
the
three-month period ended June 30, 2007, revenue from continuing operations
increased 10% from the same period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in revenue
resulted primarily from increases in royalty revenue from the licensing of
the
Company’s patented technology. Sales of security printing, after factoring in
discontinued operations, declined 15% from the prior year’s quarter due to the
timing of large orders. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company
completed its initial shipments to Paperlinx of its SecureLinx line of safety
paper. During the 2007 quarter, the Company did not have any corresponding
large
orders that were shipped, including any shipments of driver’s license order
which the Company anticipates making shipments during the third and fourth
quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company did not have any implementations
of
its new line of digital security solutions during the June 30, 2007 quarter.
The
Company continues to anticipate that digital solution sales will be a
significant component of it revenue during the remainder of 2007.
17
For
the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, revenue from continuing operations
increased 56% from the same period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in revenue
was primarily due to increases in royalty revenue from the licensing of the
Company’s patented technology, a digital solution sale for a custom On-Demand
solution in the first quarter of 2007 and an increase in sales of security
products and documents, including initial shipments on a foreign driver license
project. In addition, the security printing revenue increase reflects the effect
of the Company’s acquisition in February 2006 of Plastic Printing Professionals.
The Company expects that revenues will continue to increase at a similar pace,
especially during the fourth quarter of 2007 as the Company begins the national
roll-out of its "On-Demand" Product Suite, with its partner, The Ergonomic
Group. The product roll-out is supported by the newly developed website,
www.authenticate-360.com which provides interactive information on the
impact of couterfeiting and how "On-Demand" products help mitigate these
risks.
Legal
Products
Revenue from our legal supplies business, Legalstore.com, grew 12% during the
second quarter of 2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006, and 7% through
the first six months of 2007 compared to 2006. While we view our legal supplies
business segment as a non-core part of our company, we continue to seek growth
opportunities for the business. The Company is currently redesigning the
Legalstore.com’s website and e-commerce platform along with expanding its
product offerings.

Gross
Profit
During
the second quarter of 2007, gross profit from continuing operations increased
22% to $653,000 as compared to the second quarter of 2006. Increases in profits
from license royalty agreements were partially offset by a 20% decline in gross
profit from the security print operations, which were negatively impacted by
the
lack of delivery of any large orders during the quarter as discussed above.
During
the first six months of 2007, gross profit from continuing operations increased
103% to $1,637,000. Along with increases as the result of license agreements
and
a digital solution implementation, the Company realized significant growth
in
security printing gross profits during the first quarter of 2007 primarily
due
to the impact of a large secure driver’s license project which was delivered
during the first quarter of 2007. As a result, the Company’s gross profit margin
has increased 30% during the first six months of 2007 as compared to the first
six months of 2006.

Selling,
General and Administrative
The
Company’s selling, general and administrative costs increases generally reflect
increases to the size of our organization as the result of the Company’s
acquisition of P3 and increases in executive management, sales and operations
personnel integral to the company’s sales growth strategy.
General
and administrative compensation
costs
from continuing operations increased during the second quarter of 2007 reflect
the impact of personnel additions at the Company during the second half of
2006,
and the hiring of an in-house counsel that had formerly worked for the Company
in a retainer arrangement. In addition, the Company incurred annual payrate
increases on average of approximately 6% for existing employees as compared
to
2006 rates. General and administrative compensation cost from continuing
operations increased during the first six months of 2007 for these same reasons
as well as due to the impact of the acquisition of P3 in February 2006.
Stock-based
payments
during
the three months ended June 30, 2007 were flat as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2006, however, the makeup of the expense between the two periods
was different. The 2007 period reflects expenses due to options and restricted
stock grants to several recently added employees, including an addition to
the
Company’s senior management team. In addition, the Company issued options to a
third-party financial advisor in March of 2007. The Company believes that the
grant of equity instruments is an important component of its overall
compensation program that is needed to attract and retain its human resources
as
well as obtain the services of various third parties without consuming its
cash
resources. Stock-based compensation during the three months ended June 30,
2006,
include approximately $223,000 of expense recognized for the issuance of
warrants to International Barcode Corporation (d/b/a Barcode Technology) (“BTI”)
in June 2006 in consideration for a cross-marketing relationship that enables
the Company to expedite its entry into the Chinese market for secure documents.
These warrants were fully vested as of March 31, 2007 and were set to expire
in
June of 2007. On June 13, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with
BTI
to extend the expiration date of the warrants to December 31, 2007 in exchange
for which BTI has agreed to provide the Company with a license agreement to
market and produce BTI’s advanced barcode technologies in the United States for
five years The value of the extension of the warrant was determined to be
approximately $521,000. This amount was recorded as an other intangible asset
and will be amortized over the expected useful life of the license agreement
of
five years.
In
addition, on May 3, 2007, the Company granted a total of 445,000 restricted
shares to certain members of senior management. These shares only vest upon
the
occurrence of certain events over the next 5 years, which include a change
of
control or other merger or acquisition of the Company, the achievement of
certain financial goals, including among other things a successful result of
the
Company’s patent infringement suit against the European Central Bank. These
shares, if vested, would result in the recording of stock based compensation
expense of approximately $5,563,000 over the period beginning when any of the
contingent vesting events is deemed to be probable over the expected requisite
service period.

Professional
fees
include
legal, accounting, shareholder services, investor relations, and consulting
costs. During the first six months of 2007, accounting and auditing fee
increases generally reflect an increase in costs as a result of the growth
in
the Company as compared to the same period of 2006, along with additional costs
associated with the Company’s Sarbanes Oxley compliance requirements which is
effective in 2007. Consulting fees increased during the first six months of
2007
as compared to 2006 due to addition of an intellectual property consultant,
a
new agreement with a German consulting firm, and the use of various financial
consultants. Legal fees decreased due to the hiring of an in-house counsel
that
had formerly worked for the Company in a retainer arrangement and due to a
general decrease in activity in the Company’s non-ECB related litigation. These
legal costs do not include approximately $1,485,000,of legal and related costs
incurred during the first half of 2007 associated with the application and
defense of our patents which the company capitalizes and amortizes over the
expected life of the patent. (See Part
I -Financial Information -Note 8)
As
compared to 2006, second quarter SEC and investor relations costs increased
due
to the timing of certain printing and mailing costs associated with the
Company’s annual shareholders meeting. However, year-to-date stock transfer, SEC
and Investor Relations costs have decreased slightly during 2007 as compared
to
2006 primarily as a result of a reduction in certain investor relations
consulting costs.
Sales
and marketing
expenses, including sales and marketing personnel costs, increased in the second
quarter and through the first six months of 2007 as a result of significant
expansion in the resources that the Company is investing to grow the size of
its
sales and marketing team and increase the reach of its products through
expansion of its marketing efforts. During the second quarter of 2007, the
Company’s costs included several international business development efforts,
including meetings in Germany, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Indonesia and the
Dominican Republic. In addition, the Company invested its marketing efforts
towards the roll-out of the Company’s On-Demand product offerings in conjunction
with its partner, The Ergonomic Group.
Other
expenses
from
continuing operations are primarily rent and utilities, office supplies, IT
support, bad debt expense and insurance costs. Increases in 2007 reflect costs
associated with a larger organization.
Research
and Development
We
invest
in research and development to improve our existing technologies and develop
new
technologies that will enhance our position in the document security market.
Research and development costs consist primarily of compensation costs for
our
four persons who spend all or at least half of their time on developing new
technologies or developing new uses for our existing technology. In addition,
we
incur costs for the use of third party printers’ facilities to test our
technologies on equipment that we do not have access to internally. We seek
patent protection for many of our inventions, and we currently have over a
dozen
formal patents applications pending, including provisional and PCT patent
applications and applications that have entered the National Phase in various
countries, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Brazil, Mexico,
Indonesia and South Africa. We expect that our research and development costs
will continue at current levels for the foreseeable future.
21
Amortization
of intangibles
We
amortize the costs associated with the patents that we acquired in 2005 and
the
legal costs associated with the development and defense of our patents,
including the costs associated with our suit against the European Central Bank
for patent infringement. In addition, we amortize our acquired intangibles
from
business combinations. A significant portion of these assets were acquired
by
the issuance of equity in the company. Our amortizable patent asset base at
June
30, 2007 was approximately $5.8 million and will generate approximately $1.5
million in annual amortization expense during the next 4 years. The Company
reviews these assets for impairment annually. If an impairment, such as
unfavorable ruling in the Company’s patent infringement lawsuits or an
assessment of non-commerciability of certain of its patents, then the Company
would write-off a portion of these assets, which could be a significant expense
in the period incurred.
In
addition, the Company has approximately $1.0 million of other intangible assets
as of June 30, 2007 that consist of various royalty rights and marketing and
distribution rights as well as acquired intangibles including customer lists
and
trade names. These assets will generate approximately $200,000 of annual
amortization expense during the next 5 years.
In
addition, the Company has $1,397,000 in goodwill derived from acquisitions.
Goodwill is not amortized, but could become a component of expense if an
impairment is determined.
Discontinued
operations
Revenue
from the company’s retail printing and copying division decreased 26% for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the 2006 periods.
Revenue for the division represented approximately 7% of the Company’s
consolidated revenue for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007
as
compared to 16% and 13% of consolidated revenue for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The decline is sales was contributed
to the Company’s shift of resources from its retail printing operations to its
security research and operations since the middle of 2006. Operating losses
from
the division were less than 3% of consolidated operating losses for the Company
during the three and six months ended 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During
the second quarter and first half of 2007, the Company experienced a net loss
of
$1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. While we experienced growth in
our
sales and gross profits during these periods, these increases did not offset
significant increases in our operating expenses, especially significant
increases in amortization expense, stock based compensation, compensation and
sales and marketing expenses.
During
the second quarter and first half of 2007, our basic and diluted loss per share
increased due to the increased dollar value of our loss partially offset by
an
increase in the weighted average common shares outstanding during each of these
periods as compared to 2006. Our outstanding shares have increased as we have
issued our common shares for warrants exercised and for the purchase of patent
assets.
Non-GAAP
Financial Performance Measure
The
following adjusted Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and non-cash stock compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is presented because
the Company’s management believes it to be a relevant measure of the performance
of the Company. The Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company’s management to
measure its core operating performance without certain non-cash expenditures.
The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP
measure is presented below.

As
described above, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement of financial
performance that the Company believes is relevant to the understanding of the
Company’s financial results. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company experienced an increase in its Adjusted EBITDA loss as increases in
its
revenue and gross profit did not offset greater increases in its core operating
expenses (core operating expenses are general and administrative compensation,
professional fees, sales and marketing, other and research and development
costs). The Company’s core operating expenses from continuing operations
increased 33% and 58% during the second quarter and first six months of 2007,
respectively, as compared to the 2006 periods, primarily due to increases in
sales and marketing expenses. The Company expects that it will continue to
incur
Adjusted EBITDA losses unless is can increase its revenue levels. It is the
Company’s belief that the amounts it is incurring during the current periods for
sales and marketing are critical investments required to increase the required
break-even revenue levels. However, there the Company cannot be certain that
it
will be able to successfully obtain these break-even levels which would require
the Company to significantly reduce its costs structure.

As
of
June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 million, a 43% decrease
from December 31, 2006. As discussed below, the decrease in the Company’s cash
position is primarily due to the payment of fees related to a private placement
of equity which the Company closed on December 26, 2006 and January 22, 2007,
the payment of legal fees associated with its patent applications and defense
costs, as well as cash used for operations. As discussed below, the Company
believes that its cash balance as of June 30, 2007 will satisfy its projected
working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including the costs
related to its patent defense litigations, for at least the next 12 months.
Operating
Cash Flow - Over time, operating cash flows are expected to mirror Adjusted
EBITDA results. During the first six months of 2007, the Company used
approximately $1.6 million of cash for operations, which is slightly greater
than the Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.4 million during the same period. This
variance is primarily due to the payment of prepaid rent of approximately
$200,000 for the Company’s new facility it has leased for its plastic printing
division. For the foreseeable future, the Company will continue to use cash
for
operations at a similar pace, only to be offset by increases in revenue. As
of
June 30, 2007, the Company believes that it will need to reach an annual revenue
level of approximately $7.5 million in order to maintain positive operating
cash
flow.
Investing
Cash Flow -During the first half of 2007, the Company used approximately
$732,000 of cash for fixed asset additions and to invest in its patent
portfolio, including the payment of legal costs associated with patent
applications and the defense of our patents, which includes payments to cover
third party experts fees and other fees associated with the Company’s litigation
against the ECB. The Company was able to use its equity to pay for approximately
$746,000 of patent related costs as a result of its agreement with its lead
counsel in its ECB litigation.
Financing
Cash Flows -During the first quarter of 2007, the Company received approximately
$340,000 from the private placement of stock and the exercise of warrants which
was offset by the payment of approximately $520,000 in fees associated with
the
private placements concluded in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter
of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has approximately 929,000 warrants
outstanding and exercisable at exercise prices below the closing market price
of
our Common stock as of June 30, 2007 of $13.79 that, if exercised, would produce
approximately $9.4 million in cash proceeds to the Company.
25
Cash
flows from discontinued operations -During the six months ended June 30, 2007,
operating cash flows from the company’s
retail printing and copying division were essentially $0. In addition, during
this period, the division did not have any investing or financing cash flow
activities. Cash flows from discontinued operations are included in the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and
2006.
We
mitigate our foreign currency risks principally by contracting primarily in
U.S.
dollars. To date, all of our billings were denominated in the U.S. dollar.
However, certain of our legal fees are payable in foreign currencies, for which
a gain or loss is recognized on foreign currency transactions is recognized
when
payments are made. To date and for the foreseeable future, gains and losses
on
such transactions have been minimal.
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act
Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be
disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures.
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in
weighting the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and
procedures. Limitations are inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation
of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud
within the company have been detected.
As
required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered
by
this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of
its
Chief Executive Officer and the Acting Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
this
evaluation, management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of that date.

OTHER
INFORMATION
Information
concerning pending legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to
Note
8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I
of
this Form 10-Q.
On
August
1, 2005, we commenced a suit against the European Central Bank (the “ECB”)
alleging patent infringement by the ECB and have claimed unspecified damages.
We
brought the suit in European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg. We alleged
that all Euro banknotes in circulation infringe our European Patent 455750B1
(the “Patent”), which covers a method of incorporating an anti-counterfeiting
feature into banknotes or similar security documents to protect against
forgeries by digital scanning and copying devices. We will seek all remedies
available to us under the law. In November 2005, the European Central Bank
filed
its answer to our complaint asserting procedural and jurisdictional arguments.
The ECB contended that the proper venue was not in the Court of First Instance,
but rather in each individual country that is a member of the ECB. We responded
to the European Central Bank’s answer in late December 2005, arguing that the
Court of First instance was the proper venue. The parties are awaiting the
ruling from the Court of First Instance on jurisdiction.
On
March
24, 2006, we received notice that the ECB has filed a separate claim in the
United Kingdom and Luxembourg patent courts (Luxembourg being the seat of
the
European Court of First Instance) seeking the invalidation of the Patent.
Claims to invalidity in each of the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France,
Spain,
Germany and Austria were subsequently served on the Company. The proceedings
in
Luxembourg have been withdrawn by the ECB due to procedural irregularities;
the
ECB have the option to recommence those proceedings, but have not yet done
so.
On
March
26, 2007, the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court in
London,
England (the “English Court”) ruled that the Patent that was awarded to us by
the European Patent Office Technical Board of Appeal has been deemed invalid
in
the United Kingdom on the grounds of added subject matter. The ECB’s attacks
that the Patent was not new and was not inventive were dismissed. The English
Court’s decision does not affect the validity of the Patent in other European
countries. On March 30, 2007, the Company was given permission by the English
Court to appeal to the Court of Appeal the ruling and an appeal was filed
on 30
April 2007. As a result of the ruling and according to English Court rules,
the
Company was also required to pay a portion of the ECB’s legal costs associated
with the case. On April 2, 2007, the English Court ordered that the Company
should pay 30% of the ECB’s reasonable legal costs, of which the Company paid
90,000 pounds (USD $182,000) on April 4, 2007. The remaining amounts (estimated
to be a further 90,000 pounds) will be calculated in a separate procedure
likely
to take place after the appeal. However, the outcome of the appeal will also
either uphold (if the ECB are successful) or reverse (if the Company is
successful) the award of costs at first instance.
On
March
27, 2007, the German Federal Patent Court (Bundespatentgericht) in Munich
(the
“German Court”) ruled, having seen the judgment of the English Court, that the
Patent was valid in Germany. This ruling validates the Patent in Germany
and
confirms the legal basis of the Company’s infringement suit against the ECB. In
addition, as a result of this ruling, the Company expects to be awarded
reimbursements for a proportion of its costs associated with the German validity
case, estimated at €35,000.
On
June
4, 2007, a trial was held in the French High Court in Paris,
regarding validity of the Patent. A decision in the French trial is expected
in
approximately the middle of September of 2007. Additional trials regarding
validity are expected to take place in the six other countries from late
2007
into 2008.
27
On
January 31, 2003, we commenced an action, unrelated to the above ECB litigation,
entitled New Sky Communications, Inc., As Successor-In-Interest To Thomas M.
Wicker, Thomas M.Wicker Enterprises, Inc. and Document Security Consultants
V.
Adler Technologies, Inc. N/K/A Adlertech International, Inc. and Andrew
McTaggert (United States District Court, Western District Of New York Case
No.03-Cv-6044t(F)) regarding certain intellectual property in which we have
an
interest. We commenced this action alleging various causes of action against
Adler Technologies, Inc. and Andrew McTaggert for breach of contract, breach
of
the duty of good faith and fair dealing, various business torts, including
unfair competition and declaratory relief. Adler distributes and supplies
anti-counterfeit document products and Mr. McTaggert is a principal of Adler.
Adler had entered into several purported agreements with Thomas M. Wicker
Enterprises and Document Security Consultants, both of which we acquired in
2002. These alleged agreements, generally, would have authorized Adler to
manufacture in Canada our “Checkmate®” patented system for verifying the
authenticity of currency and documents. Other purported agreements were signed
between these parties and Thomas Wicker regarding other technology claimed
to
have been owned by Wicker and assigned to us. Among other things, we contend
that certain of the purported agreements are not binding and/or enforceable.
To
the extent any of them are binding and enforceable, we claim that Adler has
breached these purported agreements, failed to make an appropriate accounting
and payments under them , and may have exceeded the scope of its license. Adler
has denied the material allegations of the complaint and has counterclaimed
against our company, claiming Adler owns or co-owns or has a license to use
certain technologies of ours. In May 2005, we filed our first amended and
supplemental complaint adding Blanks/USA and Raymond Maxon as additional
defendants. In February 2007, we filed our second amended and supplemental
complaint adding Judith Wu (McTaggart’s wife) and Arcis Digital Security, Inc.
(a company in which Ms. Wu is involved) as additional defendants. Maxon has
asserted a counterclaim against us contending that our purported acquisition
of
a certain patent from Thomas Wicker in 2002 gave rise to an alleged right on
the
part of Maxon to receive a portion of Thomas Wicker’s proceeds from such
acquisition. We have denied the material allegations of all of the
counterclaims. If Adler is successful, it may materially affect us, our
financial condition, and our ability to market and sell certain of our
technology and related products. This case is in discovery phase, and it is
too
soon to determine how the various issues raised by the lawsuit will be
determined.
In
addition to the foregoing, we are subject to other legal proceedings that have
arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been finally adjudicated.
Although there can be no assurance in this regard, in the opinion of management,
none of the legal proceedings to which we are a party, whether discussed herein
or otherwise, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
cash flows or our financial condition.
