PART
I
Item
1. Business
Overview
We
were originally incorporated in the state of New York in 1994. In August 1999,
we reincorporated in Delaware. We have developed and are currently marketing
an
advanced document verification system as part of our identity management
solutions to enable a user to detect altered and tampered identification cards.
We are a Microsoft®
Certified Partner. Our technology addresses problems such as:
§ |
Commercial
Fraud
- which may lead to economic losses to merchants from check cashing,
debit
and, credit card as well as other types of fraud such as identity
theft
that principally utilize fraudulent identification cards as proof
of
identity;
|
§ |
Unauthorized
Access
- our systems and software are designed to increase security and
deter
terrorism at airports, shipping ports, rail and bus terminals, military
installations, high profile buildings and infrastructure where security
is
a concern;
|
§ |
Underage
Access to Age Restricted Products and Services
- our systems and software are designed to determine the customer’s age as
well as the validity of the encoded format on identification documents,
to
detect and prevent the use of fraudulent identification for the purchase
of alcohol, tobacco and other age-restricted products and services
and to
reduce the risk to the retailer of substantial monetary fines, criminal
penalties and the potential for license revocation for the sale of
age-restricted products to under-age purchasers;
and
|
§ |
Inefficiencies
Associated With Manual Data Entry - by
reading encoded data contained in the bar code and magnetic stripe
of an
identification card with a quick swipe or scan of the card, where
permitted by law, customers are capable of accurately and instantaneously
inputting information into forms, applications and the like without
the
errors associated with manual data
entry.
|
Our
Products and Services
ID-Check® technology
Our
patented ID-Check®
technology
is our advanced document verification software. ID-Check® is
contained in our software products, and is capable of reading and verifying
in
one swipe or scan the encoded format contained on U.S. and Canadian driver
licenses, state issued non-driver identification cards and military IDs. Our
technology has the ability to verify the encoded formats on all currently
encoded documents, even those that do not comply with the standards of the
American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Standards Organization
(ISO).
ID-Check® SDK
Our
software product, ID-Check® SDK,
is designed for software developers that wish to incorporate our ID-Check® technology
into their applications. It contains our proprietary technology, as well as
a
device controller, which is also capable of reading the smart chip contained
in
the military CAC. We currently have multiple license agreements with third
parties for integration and sub-licensing of our software applications into
their core applications. The SDK is available for multiple platforms such as
Microsoft®
Windows, Windows Mobile, AIX, certain versions of Linux and it can easily be
ported to other platforms as the need arises.
ID-Check® POS
ID-Check® POS
is a software application that runs on multiple VeriFone devices, such as the
Omni 37xx series. Our software uses both the onboard magnetic stripe reader
and
an optional external 2-D bar code reader that plugs into an open port on the
back of the unit. The terminal has an integrated, high-speed thermal printer.
The VeriFone devices are multi-application terminals that allow the ID-Check®
software
to run side by side with credit card processing software as well as other value
added software applications certified by VeriFone. We have been designated
as a
VeriFone value added partner.
3
C-Link®
software
Our
C-Link®
software, which is our networkable data management software works in conjunction
with our ID-Check® POS
application that runs on multiple VeriFone secure electronic payment terminals
or with our data capture modules. It may be used only where permitted by law,
since certain jurisdictions restrict using this information without customer
consent. It allows the user to instantly view data from driver licenses as
well
as from the smart chip contained on the military common access card (CAC),
for
further verification and then archives it into a personal computer.
C-Link®
can be used on a stand alone personal computer or in a network environment.
It
contains features such as alerts, watch lists, and recurring entry.
ID-Check®
PC
ID-Check®
PC is a
software solution that is designed to replicate the features of
ID-Check®
for
Windows based platforms and is a Microsoft®
Gold
certified product. ID-Check®
PC is
designed to read the smart chip contained in the CAC card.
ID-Traveler
ID-Traveler
is a software solution that can electronically compare two forms of government
issued IDs instantaneously and determine whether the common fields match (e.g.
name, address, date of birth). Should the fields match, the information is
highlighted in one color. If the fields do not produce a match, the information
is highlighted in a different color. Two forms of identification that are
frequently used include driver licenses, state issued ID cards, military IDs,
passports, border crossing cards and visas. The program also has the ability
to
store the images of the documents provided for proof of ID and has the ID-Prove
module embedded so that with Internet connectivity it can generate a series
of
questions to test one’s claimed identity.
ID-Prove
ID-Prove
is a software solution that is intended to add additional layers to IDN’s
identity management suite of products. ID-Prove, when prompted, will provide
an
end user a variable number of “out of wallet” questions about that individual.
These questions seek to ensure that the individual in question is truly who
they
claim to be. Currently, the ID-Prove product is not sold separately, but is
integrated into our ID-Traveler and ID-Check®
Portal
products.
ID-Check® Mobile
ID-Check® Mobile
is the designation for multiple hand held devices that we offer our customers.
The form-factor is a small, lightweight mobile computer with a durable housing
design that has 2-D bar code, magnetic stripe and/or Smart card reading
capabilities. By allowing the user to move between locations, ID-Check® Mobile
products provide the ability to check the encoded format of ID documents at
multiple entry points. It additionally has the capability of providing a yes/no
response when used for age verification purposes.
ID-Check®
BHO
This
software product, formerly called the Web Form Filler product, is a Browser
Helper Object (“BHO”) for Internet Explorer. The BHO allows our customers to
seamlessly integrate our core ID-Check®
technology into their web based applications. The BHO can be programmed through
a series of drop down menus to populate driver license data in the fields of
specific web pages based on web page URLs and web page field names. The
technology also provides the ability to check the encoded formats of ID
documents.
4
Data
Collection Devices
Our
software products are designed for use with multiple data collection devices,
which are commercially available in various compact forms and may contain either
one or both of two-dimensional bar code and magnetic stripe readers. These
devices enable our software applications to be used on a variety of commercially
available data processing devices, including credit card terminals, PDAs,
tablets, laptops, desktops and point-of-sale terminals. Many of these devices
contain an electronic serial number (ESN) to prevent unauthorized use of our
software.
New
Products and Services
ID-Check®
Portal
The
ID-Check®
Portal
product is designed to support a variety of industries, including financial,
retail and government in their “in-person” proofing process, by verifying the
encoded format of government issued IDs as well as performing additional layers
of security checks to assist in proving the claimed identity of the individual
presenting such documents for identification purposes. The product has the
capability of checking over 400 public data bases to match information such
as
the address, date of birth, telephone numbers and social security number against
known information as well as the driver license number, where available. It
has
an option of providing a series of multiple choice questions, for the person
being identified to answer, by utilizing the ID-Prove software solution. The
questions are of such a nature that only the real person would know the proper
response.
ID-Check®
Technology integrated with 3RD Ring’s Genuine Document System
(GDS)
In
December 2006, we entered into an agreement with 3RD Ring pursuant to which
we
agreed to integrate and jointly market our combined technologies. The combined
system provides users with little or no document examination experience with
a
simple, secure and cost effective means of verifying the authenticity of
government issued identification documents. It is capable of verifying the
encoded formats on U.S. and Canadian driver licenses, U.S. and provincial
non-driver IDs, military IDs, U.S and international passports, and U.S Resident
Alien cards. Additionally, the system is capable of verifying the security
and forensic features, including holograms and other optical variable
characteristics, for these as well as other government issued documents such
as
U.S Social Security cards. This powerful enhanced document verification
system will be jointly marketed to government agencies, law enforcement agencies
and the private sector.
Instant
Credit Application Kiosk Software Applications
These
are
custom software applications that Intelli-Check has developed for a variety
of
major financial service companies. The software installed on multiple
kiosk devices provides the customers of the major financial service companies
with the ability to perform in-store instant credit approval on these devices.
The hardware platforms, on which the software applications run, range from
stationary devices to handhelds to tablet PCs. The process involves the swiping
or scanning of the driver license to verify the encoded format and after
verification, the information parsed from the encoded data is populated into
the
proper fields on the application displayed on the kiosk. The applicant then
completes the application by entering the remaining required information that
is
not encoded on the driver license, such as social security and telephone
numbers. The software application then sends the data to the financial service
company’s backend “decisioning” tool for credit approval. If approved, the
applicant is granted instant credit which can then be used to make
purchases.
ID-Check®
Focus
and ID-Cap67™
Handheld Imager
These
handheld imager based bar code readers are designed to increase employee
productivity while streamlining business processes in multiple business sectors
such as retail, healthcare, government and security. These devices have the
ability to capture images of ID documents and deliver the document clarity
required to streamline recordkeeping, thus replacing paper-based files with
electronic filing.
5
Upgrade
Capability
Our
software requires periodic updates as states and provinces adjust or modify
the
format of their electronically stored information. Jurisdictional updates can
be
distributed in a variety of ways depending on the product in use. Our technology
can be upgraded by the installation of a file sent on an SD card, CD and/or
e-mail to the customer. One of our products can be upgraded by modem using
a
dial-up phone connection. Jurisdictional Updates are included in the purchase
price of Intelli-Check products for the first year after purchase. We sell
upgrade packages for the period commencing after the first year of purchase.
Background
on Identification Documentation
Driver
license
The
driver license is the most widely used form of government issued photo
identification. The Real ID Act, which became federal law in May 2005,
recognizes that the driver license is also a quasi-identification card.
In
addition to its primary function, the driver license is used to verify identity
for social services, firearm sales, check cashing, credit card use and other
applications. There are approximately 245 million driver licenses in circulation
in the U.S. and Canada. Our technology can read the data on all currently
encoded licenses, even those that do not comply with the AAMVA/ANSI/ISO
standards, which we believe to be over 230 million of those issued at the
current time. Currently, the fifty states,
the District of Columbia, and ten Canadian Provinces encode their licenses.
We
believe that the number of readable licenses will continue to grow as the three
Canadian Provinces that have either not yet encoded their license or completed
a
rotation with encoding begin to encode and U.S. jurisdictions that have recently
begun to encode complete their rotations.
Non-driver
identification card
Since
many people do not have a driver license, numerous jurisdictions offer other
identification cards that may contain encoded information. These non-driver
identification cards, as well as military IDs, are fundamentally identical
to
driver licenses. Because driver licenses are the most widely used form of
legally acceptable government documentation, we refer to all these types of
legally acceptable governmental identification documents as "driver licenses."
Our ID-Check® software
is equally capable of performing its function with these other types of
government identification.
Scope
of Authentication Capabilities
We
believe that we are the only company that can machine read and verify the format
contained on the machine readable zone on all of the North American encoded
driver licenses and non-driver IDs issued by the U.S. states and Canadian
Provinces.
Regulation
of Retailers of Tobacco Products and Alcoholic
Beverages
In
an effort to combat the problems of underage drinking and smoking, the federal
government and many states and Canadian provinces have enacted laws requiring
businesses that sell age-restricted products to verify the IDs of potential
customers to determine that they are of legal age to purchase these products.
These laws impose stringent penalties for violations. For example, new federal
regulations have been enacted that place a greater burden on retailers to
prevent the sale of tobacco products to minors. Clerks are required to check
the
photo ID of anyone trying to purchase tobacco products that appears to be under
the age of 27, and a retailer of alcoholic products who sells to an underage
person could face potential fines, suspension of its license or the potential
outright revocation of its license to sell alcoholic beverages. Additionally,
in
states where enacted, dram shop laws allow a person who is injured by any
obviously intoxicated person to file a claim for relief for fault against any
person who knowingly sells alcoholic beverages to a person less than 21 years
of
age. As a result of law enforcement efforts and regulatory penalties, we believe
retailers that sell alcohol and tobacco, such as liquor stores, bars and
convenience stores, are facing increased pressure to accurately verify the
age
of their customers. There is legislation currently pending or proposed in some
U.S. states that would make it mandatory to utilize electronic verification
devices by sellers of age-restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco.
6
Current
Challenges Associated with Verifying Identification
Documents
The
high-tech revolution has created a major problem for those who rely on
identification documents. In an age where scanners, computers and color printers
are commonplace, fake IDs of the highest quality are easily obtainable from
a
number of locations including college campuses and from multiple sites on the
Internet. These fakes appear so real, even law enforcement agencies have
encountered difficulty distinguishing them from legally issued documents.
Additionally, these high-tech devices have the ability to easily alter properly
issued ID's. Therefore, anyone can gain access to a false identity that gives
them the ability, in a commercial transaction, to present fake and stolen credit
cards or checks that are supported by false identification. Additionally,
starting with only a fraudulent driver license, an individual may be able to
create multiple identities, commit fraud, buy age restricted products such
as
alcohol and tobacco while underage, evade law enforcement and engage in other
criminal activities, such as:
§
|
committing
identity theft;
|
§
|
gaining
entrance to high profile buildings and
sensitive infrastructures, such as nuclear facilities;
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|||
§
|
improperly
boarding airplanes;
|
§
|
illegally
purchasing firearms;
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|||
§
|
committing
credit card, debit card and check cashing fraud;
|
§
|
purchasing
age restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco while under age;
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|||
§
|
unlawfully
obtaining welfare or other government benefits;
|
§
|
committing
employee fraud, including employee theft and payroll theft;
and
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|||
§
|
committing
refund fraud,
|
§
|
engaging
in medical fraud.
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|||
§
|
committing
pharmacy fraud, including false narcotic prescriptions,
|
|
Given
the ease with which identification can be falsified, simply looking at a driver
license may not be sufficient to verify age or identity and determine whether
or
not it is fraudulent. Since merchants are facing significant economic losses
due
to these frauds, we believe that a document verification system which can
accurately read the electronically stored information is needed. We possess
a
patented software application technology that provides an analysis of the data
contained on the encoded formats of these identification documents by reading
and analyzing the encoded format on the magnetic stripe or bar code on the
driver license and comparing it against known standards.
ID-Check® Solutions
and Benefits
We
believe that ID-Check® and
our family of software solutions contain the most advanced, reliable and
effective technology, providing users with an easy, reliable, and cost-effective
method of document and age verification. We have received encoding formats
from
all of the issuing jurisdictions in North America. This information, combined
with our patented technology, enables all of our ID-Check® software
products to read, decode, process and verify the encoded formats on driver
licenses. Our ID-Check®
Portal
product can verify the claimed identity of the individual in question as well.
As
jurisdictions change their documents and guidelines, we believe our software
can
be adapted to these changes.
ID-Check® software
does not require a connection to a central database to operate, thus negating
privacy concerns. Many of our products have the ability to operate add-on
peripherals such as printers, fingerprint readers and other devices.
The
ID-Check® process
is quick, simple and easy to use. After matching the (driver license) photograph
to the person presenting the document for identification, the user simply swipes
the driver license through the data capture device if the card has a magnetic
stripe or scans it if it has a bar code. The software quickly determines
if:
§ |
the
format of the document is valid;
|
§ |
the
document has been altered or is fake, by displaying the parsed, encoded
data for comparison with the printed information;
|
§ |
the
document has expired; and
|
7
§ |
being
used for age verification, the encoded data contains a date of birth
equal
to or greater than the legal age to purchase age restricted products,
such
as alcohol and tobacco.
|
Then,
the ID-Check® software
applications can:
§ |
respond
to the user by displaying the format validation result and the parsed
information;
|
§ |
save
information that is permissible by law to memory;
and
|
§ |
print
a record of the transaction including the verification results, if
a
printer is part of the hardware
configuration.
|
Strategy
Our
objective is to be a leading provider of productivity enhancement and identity
management solutions. These solutions include our identity verification
technology systems and software in the work-flow, commercial fraud protection,
access control and age verification markets. Key elements of our strategy are
as
follows:
Productivity
Enhancement.
Because
of our recent successes in the retail vertical market and our entrance into
the
financial services vertical, we market our technology as a key productivity
enhancement tool. Our patented ID-Check®
software
can add functionality to virtually any given software application to
automatically populate fields within a given form, when a
government-issued photo ID is presented. The automation that results
from the intelligence added to the form dramatically increases throughput and
data integrity, and it significantly enhances the customer's
experience.
Develop
Additional Strategic Alliances with Providers of Security
Solutions.
We have entered into strategic alliances to utilize our systems and software
as
the proposed or potential enrollment application for their technologies and
to
jointly market these security applications with multiple biometric companies;
Northrop Grumman, EDS and the Anteon division of General Dynamics, integrators
in the defense industry; Intermec, Metrologic and Motorola hardware
manufacturers; and Digimarc and Viisage, now part of L1 Identity Solutions,
Inc., producers of driver licenses for approximately 90% of the jurisdictions
in
North America. We believe these relationships will broaden our marketing reach
through their sales efforts and we intend to develop additional strategic
alliances with additional providers of security solutions.
Strengthen
Sales and Marketing Efforts.
We intend to capitalize on the growth in demand for age and document
verification by continuing to market and support our systems and software.
Our
sales and marketing departments are organized by
target
market rather than geographic area to
provide focus and create experts in each area.
Enter
into Additional Licensing Agreements.
We intend to continue to license our software for use with a customer's system.
We are currently licensing our ID-Check® SDK
and C-Link®
software products for Windows and Windows CE platforms and intend to similarly
continue to license our ID-Check®
PC and ID-Check®
PDA software solutions. Our software is intended to be used with a compatible
hardware device. We have entered into multiple licensing
agreements to date.
Protect
Intellectual Property.
We
intend to strongly protect our intellectual property portfolio in order to
preserve value and obtain favorable settlements where warranted. For example,
in
February 2003, we filed suit against CardCom, Inc. d/b/a CardCom Technology,
Inc. claiming that CardCom had infringed one of our patents. Subsequently,
we
entered into a patent licensing agreement with CardCom effective March 2003
which provided for a non-exclusive three year license in connection with the
manufacture, use and sale of CardCom's age verification products in the United
States and Canada. Effective March 12, 2006, we renewed the licensing agreement
with CardCom for an additional five years. We also filed a patent infringement
lawsuit against Tricom Card Technologies, Inc. in July 2003, which is currently
being litigated.
Our
Revenue Sources
We
derive our revenue from the following sources:
8
§ |
Sales
of our systems by our own direct sales force and marketing
partners;
|
§ |
Per
transaction or subscription fees from the licensed use of our
technology;
|
§ |
Royalties
and licensing fees from licensing our patented technology to third
parties;
|
§ |
Revenue
sharing and marketing arrangements through strategic alliances and
partnerships; and
|
§ |
Sale
of software upgrades and extended maintenance
programs
|
Our
Target Markets
The
use of false identification cards, primarily driver licenses and non-driver
identification cards, to engage in commercial fraud, to gain access to
unauthorized areas and to gain entry to critical infrastructure, or to purchase
products from, establishments that sell age-restricted items, is common. Given
the ease with which identification can be falsified, we believe that simply
looking at a driver license may not be sufficient to verify age or identity
and
determine whether or not such an identification card is fraudulent. Since
merchants are facing significant economic losses due to these frauds, we believe
that what they need is a document verification system, which can accurately
read
the electronically stored information. We target the markets that would most
benefit from our systems and software.
In
the past twelve months, we have marketed our products to opportunities where
our
ID-Check® technology
can be used to enhance productivity. We have made significant progress in the
marketplace for the retail issuance of instant credit. We believe there is
a
financial benefit and a compelling business model for customers in this
marketplace to utilize our technology.

Marketing
and Distribution
Our
objective is to become the leading developer and distributor of document and
age
verification products. To date, our marketing efforts have been through
direct sales by our sales and marketing personnel, through resellers and license
agreements. We are marketing our products through direct marketing
approaches such as web marketing, a small number of select trade shows and
well
known public interest and trade associations. During the second quarter of
2006,
we introduced our newly designed web site that is providing enhanced customer
support and plan to introduce the ability to order our products online during
2007.
We
generate revenues from the licensing of our software and the selling of bundled
solutions that contain hardware and software. Depending on the specific needs
of
our clients, we tailor the right solution for them. Our bundled solutions,
which
include, but are not limited to, our ID-Check® Mobile
and ID-Check® POS
technology, offer multiple pricing options. We also generate revenues from
various new software solutions that are based upon a per transaction or
subscription model.
Our
ID-Check® software
runs on Microsoft®
Windows and Windows Mobile platforms in addition to devices such as credit
card
terminals and other operating systems such as Linux. We are marketing our
ID-Check®
technology to the government, airlines, airports, high profile buildings or
infrastructure, mass merchandisers, grocery, convenience and pharmacy chains,
casinos and banks.
We
have developed a comprehensive marketing plan to build customer awareness and
develop brand recognition in our target markets. We promote the advantages
and ease of use of our products through:
§
|
Endorsements
by nationally known public interest groups and trade
associations;
|
§
|
Paid
keyword searches;
|
|||
§
|
Trade
publications;
|
§
|
Web
seminars, as well as our own
website;
|
|||
§
|
Trade
shows;
|
§
|
Various
conventions and industry specific
seminars.
|
10
As
we gain market acceptance for our ID-Check® technology,
we intend to develop and market other related software
applications.
We
further intend to add qualified “value added” remarketers that are capable of
reaching smaller customers. We believe this represents the most cost-effective
way to reach numerous “mom and pop” establishments in North America involved in
the sale of age restricted products. Furthermore, in order to broaden our sales
“reach” into existing and new markets, we will continue to enter into selective
agreements with proven application solution providers, system integrators,
resellers and independent sales representatives. Basically, we reorganized
our
entire distribution network to provide us with greater
effectiveness.
Competition
We
compete in a market that is relatively new, intensely competitive, and rapidly
changing. Unless a device can read, decode and analyze all of the information
that is legally permitted to be analyzed, which is electronically stored on
a
driver license, the user may not obtain accurate and reliable confirmation
that
a driver license is valid and has not been altered or tampered with. We are
aware of several companies, including CardCom, TriCom Technologies, Positive
Access, ID-Logix and Legal Age that are currently offering products that
electronically read and calculate age from a driver license. We have tested
and
compared some of these products to ID-Check® and
believe that our product is superior in quality and functionality. We believe
that units unable to read bar codes are at a significant disadvantage because
most states and Canadian provinces currently utilize bar codes to encode their
driver licenses, as well as all U.S. military IDs and uniformed services cards.
In addition, some of these other products cannot connect to a personal computer
or use a printer.
We
have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased competition
in
the age verification market, and have to date experienced limited competition
from companies in the document verification market. If any of our competitors
were to become the industry standard or were to enter into or expand
relationships with significantly larger companies through mergers, acquisitions
or otherwise, our business and operating results could be seriously harmed.
In
addition, potential competitors could bundle their products or incorporate
functionality into existing products in a manner that discourages users from
purchasing our products.
Manufacturing
In
January 2004, we entered into a two year product supply agreement for the
purchase of input devices. Under the terms of this agreement, these devices,
which are private labeled, are programmed to work in conjunction with our
ID-Check® technology.
On
December 30, 2005, we entered into a two year product supply agreement with
the
same manufacturer and with similar terms and conditions as the prior agreement.
On March 14, 2006, we signed a product supply agreement with another
manufacturer for the purchase of alternate input devices that are also
programmed to work in
conjunction with our ID-Check® technology.
The agreement, which was effective until December 31, 2006, was automatically
renewed for another year pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
Intellectual
Property
In
January 1999, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted us a patent on our
ID-Check® software
technology. In October 2002, we were granted another patent relating to our
document authentication and age verification technology. At present, we have
other patent applications pending in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
These
patents cover commercially important aspects of our capabilities relating to
the
authentication of a document, such as a driver license, along with the
verification of the age of an individual associated with that document. Upon
our
acquisition of the assets of IDentiScan, we also received equitable ownership
and sole ownership rights to intellectual property, including other patents
and
patent applications relating to age verification technology. We currently hold
five (5) U.S. patents, two (2) Canadian patents and one (1) United Kingdom
patent.
We
have also been granted multiple copyrights in the United States, which are
effective in Canada and in other major industrial countries. The copyright
protection covers software source codes and supporting graphics relating to
the
operation of ID-Check® and
other software products. We also have several trademarks relating to our
company, its product names and logos.
11
In
connection with the sales or licensing of our intellectual property, we have
entered into an agreement with Mr. Kevin Messina, our former Senior Executive
V.P. and Chief Technology Officer, under which we will pay royalties equal
to
0.005% of cumulative gross sales for cumulative gross sales of $2,000,000 to
$52,000,000 and 0.0025% of cumulative gross sales for cumulative gross sales
in
excess of $52,000,000 pertaining to those patents on which Mr. Messina was
identified as an inventor. Cumulatively, as of December 31, 2006, total fees
payable under this agreement amounted to approximately $440.
Employees
As
of March 29, 2007, we had twenty-one (21) full-time employees. Four (4) are
engaged in executive management, eight (8) in information technology, six (6)
in
sales and marketing and (3) three in administration. We believe our relations
with our employees are generally good and we have no collective bargaining
agreements with any labor unions.
Item
1A. Risk
Factors
RISK
FACTORS
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
We
have incurred losses since inception and losses may continue, which could result
in a decline in the value of our securities and a loss of your
investment.
We
sustained net losses of $3,238,959 and $2,879,970 for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, respectively and our accumulated
deficit was $41,987,852 as of December 31, 2006. Since we expect to incur
additional expenditures in line with the sales growth of our business, we cannot
assure you that we will achieve operating profits in the near future.
We
may be unable to meet our future capital requirements.
Our
capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. In the
event
that we do not generate meaningful revenue, we would need to raise additional
capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we plan to implement
cost
saving measures to sustain business activities on a reduced level. Acquisition
and development opportunities and other contingencies may arise, which could
require us to raise additional capital. If we raise additional capital through
the sale of equity, including preferred stock, or convertible debt securities,
the percentage ownership of our then existing stockholders will be
diluted.
We
currently do not have a credit facility or any commitments for additional
financing. We cannot be certain that additional financing, should it be needed,
will be available when and to the extent required. If adequate funds are not
available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our expansion, develop
or enhance our products, or respond to competitive pressures. Such limitation
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We
may not be able to keep up with rapid technological change.
Our
market is characterized by frequent new product announcements and rapid
advancements in hardware technology. Significant technological change could
render our existing technology obsolete. If we are unable to successfully
respond to these developments, or do not respond in a cost-effective way, our
business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially
adversely affected.
Our
proprietary software relies on reference data provided by government and
quasi-government agencies. If these governmental and quasi-government agencies
were to stop sharing data with us, the utility of our proprietary software
would
be diminished in those jurisdictions and our business would be
damaged.
Currently,
the fifty states, ten Canadian provinces and the District of Columbia, which
in
most instances conform to the guidelines established by certain organizations
responsible for implementing industry standards, cooperate with us by providing
sample identification cards so that we may modify all of our hardware and
software products to read and analyze the encoded information found on such
jurisdiction’s identification cards. We cannot assure you that each of these
jurisdictions will continue to cooperate with us. In the event that one or
more
of these jurisdictions do not continue to provide this reference data, the
utility of our proprietary software may be diminished in those jurisdictions.
12
Future
government regulation restricting the capture of information electronically
stored on identification cards could adversely affect our
business.
Our
proprietary software products are designed to read, verify and capture
information from identification cards. Currently, those customers located in
Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Texas have some restrictions on
what
can be done with this information without customer consent. Because issues
of
personal privacy continue to be a major topic of public policy debate, it is
possible that in the future additional customers in these and other
jurisdictions may be restricted from capturing this information. Therefore,
the
implementation of unfavorable regulations or unfavorable interpretations of
existing regulations by courts or regulatory bodies could require us to incur
significant compliance costs, cause the development of the affected markets
to
become impractical and reduce our revenues and potential revenues.
Our
business strategy exposes us to long sales and implementation cycles for our
products.
Our
target customers in the commercial fraud protection, access control and age
verification markets include large retailers and government agencies, which
typically require longer sales and implementation cycles for our products than
do our potential customer base solely interested in age verification, such
as
restaurant, bar and convenience store operators. The longer sales and
implementation cycles for larger retail companies continue to have an adverse
impact on the timing of realizing our revenues. In addition, budgetary
constraints and potential economic slowdowns may also continue to delay
purchasing decisions by these prospective customers. These initiatives have
costs associated with them, and we cannot assure you that they ultimately will
prove successful or result in, an increase to, our revenues or
profitability.
In
addition, the loss or significant reduction in government spending by government
entities could materially limit our ability to obtain government contracts.
These limitations, if significant, could also have a material adverse effect
on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we
will need to develop additional strategic relationships with large government
contractors in order to successfully compete for government contracts. Should
we
lose or fail to develop these strategic relationships we may not be able to
implement our business strategy.
The
market for our systems and software is evolving and its growth is
uncertain.
Demand
and market acceptance for recently introduced and existing systems and software
and sales from such systems and software, are subject to a high level of
uncertainty and risk. Our business may suffer if the market develops more slowly
than anticipated and does not sustain market acceptance.
Failure
to manage our operations if they expand could impair our future
growth.
If
we are able to expand our operations, particularly through multiple sales to
large retailers and government agencies in the document verification market,
the
expansion will place significant strain on our management, financial controls,
operating systems, personnel and other resources. Our ability to manage future
growth, should it occur, will depend to a large extent upon several factors,
including our ability to do the following:
§ |
build
and train our sales force;
|
§ |
establish
and maintain relationships with
distributors;
|
§ |
develop
customer support systems;
|
§ |
develop
expanded internal management and financial controls adequate to keep
pace
with growth in personnel and sales, if they occur;
and
|
§ |
manage
the use of third-party manufacturers and
suppliers.
|
13
If
we are able to grow our business but do not manage our growth successfully,
we
may experience increased operating expenses, loss of customers, distributors
or
suppliers and declining or slowed growth of revenues.
We
are subject to risks associated with product failure and technological
flaws.
Products
as complex as those offered by us may contain undetected errors or result in
failures when first introduced or when new versions are released. Despite
vigorous product testing efforts and testing by current and potential customers,
it is possible that errors will be found in a new product or enhancement after
commencement of commercial shipments. The occurrence of product defects or
errors could result in adverse publicity, delay in product introduction,
diversion of resources to remedy defects, loss of, or a delay in market
acceptance, claims by customers against us, or could cause us to incur
additional costs, any of which could adversely affect our business.
Our
failure to protect our proprietary technology may impair our competitive
position.
We
continue to allocate significant resources to develop new and innovative
technologies which we utilize in our products and systems. We consider such
allocation to be fundamental to our continued success as such success depends,
to a significant degree, upon our ability to provide products and systems that
provide superior functionality and performance compared to those of our
competitors. Accordingly, we must protect our technology from unauthorized
use.
This is done by processes aimed at identifying and seeking appropriate
protection for newly developed intellectual property, i.e., patents, trade
secrets, copyrights and trademarks, as well as policies aimed at identifying
unauthorized use of such property in the marketplace. These processes
include:
§ |
contractual
arrangements providing for non-disclosure of proprietary
information;
|
§ |
maintaining
and enforcing issued patents and filing patent applications on innovative
solutions to commercially important
problems;
|
§ |
protecting
our trade secrets;
|
§ |
protecting
our copyrights and trademarks by registration and other appropriate
means,
|
§ |
establishing
internal processes for identifying and appropriately protecting new
and
innovative technologies; and
|
§ |
establishing
practices for identifying unauthorized use of our intellectual
property.
|
While
we actively protect our intellectual property, it does not follow that others
will not intentionally or innocently use such intellectual property.
Accordingly, at times we may be required to bring legal proceedings to preclude
such unauthorized use. We are mindful that such measures can be costly and
time
consuming and undertake such measures only as a last resort.
These
policies and practices with respect to our intellectual property rights do
not
prevent our competitors from independently developing products similar or
superior to our products and technologies. It merely protects our property
rights created as a result of our allocating significant portions of our
technical and monetary resources.
If
our future products incorporate technologies that infringe the proprietary
rights of third parties, and we do not secure licenses from them, we could
be
liable for substantial damages.
We
are not aware that our current products infringe the intellectual property
rights of any third parties. We also are not aware of any third party
intellectual property rights that may hamper our ability to provide future
products and services. However, we recognize that the development of our
services or products may require that we acquire intellectual property licenses
from third parties so as to avoid infringement of those parties’ intellectual
property rights. These licenses may not be available at all or may only be
available on terms that are not commercially reasonable. If third parties make
infringement claims against us which, whether or not they are upheld, such
claims could:
§ |
consume
substantial time and financial
resources;
|
§ |
divert
the attention of management from growing our business and managing
operations; and
|
§ |
disrupt
product sales and shipments.
|
14
If
any third party prevails in an action against us for infringement of its
proprietary rights, we could be required to pay damages and either enter into
costly licensing arrangements or redesign our products so as to exclude any
infringing use. As a result, we would incur substantial costs, delays in product
development, sales and shipments, our revenues may decline substantially and
we
may not be able to achieve the minimum, necessary growth for our continued
success.
Failure
to attract and retain management and other personnel may damage our operations
and financial results and cause our stock price to
decline.
We
depend to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of our
executive officers and other key management, technical, finance, sales and
other
personnel. Our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain existing
or
additional personnel could disrupt or otherwise harm our operations and
financial results. We do not carry key man life insurance policies covering
any
employees. The loss of services of certain of our key employees, an inability
to
attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, or delays in hiring
additional personnel could delay the development of our business and could
cause
our stock price to decline.
Our
share price may be volatile and could decline
substantially
The
market price of our common stock, like the price of shares of technology
companies generally, has been and may continue to be volatile. From January
1,
2002 to March 29, 2007, the closing bid price of our common stock has varied
from a high of $19.45 to a low of $2.10 per share, as reported on the American
Stock Exchange. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock
to
decline, including:
§ |
shortfalls
in revenues, cash flows or continued losses from
operations;
|
§ |
delays
in development or roll-out of any of our
products;
|
§ |
announcements
by one or more competitors of new product acquisitions or technological
innovations; and
|
§ |
unfavorable
outcomes from outstanding
litigation.
|
In
addition, the stock market experiences extreme fluctuations in price and volume
that particularly affect the market price of shares of emerging technology
companies, such as ours. These price and volume fluctuations are often unrelated
or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies.
Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our
shareholders or of securities analysts and our stock price could decline as
a
result. Declines in our stock price for any reason, as well as broad-based
market fluctuations or fluctuations related to our financial results or other
developments, may adversely affect your ability to sell your shares at a price
equal to or above the price at which you purchased them. Decreases in the price
of our common stock may also lead to de-listing of our common
stock.

2. Properties
Our
executive offices are currently located in Woodbury, New York, where we
currently occupy approximately 7,100 square feet of leased space pursuant to
an
amended lease expiring on December 31, 2010. Payments under the lease were
$243,577 for 2004, $243,731 for 2005, $204,217 for 2006 and will be $881,728
for
the remaining years of the lease. We believe that our office space is sufficient
for current operations.
Additionally,
our Chief Operating Officer leases office space in Massachusetts on a month
to
month basis. Payments under the lease were $7,608 for 2006.
Item
3. Legal
Proceedings
On
August
1, 2003, we filed a summons and complaint against Tricom Card Technologies,
Inc.
alleging infringement on our patent and seeking injunctive and monetary
relief. On October 23, 2003, we amended our complaint to include
infringement on an additional patent. On May 18, 2004, we filed a Second
Amended Complaint alleging infringement and inducement to infringe against
certain principals of Tricom in their personal capacities, as well as alleging
in the alternative false advertising claims under the Lanham Act against all
the
defendants. The principals moved to dismiss the claims against them, and
Tricom moved to dismiss the false advertising claims, which motions have been
administratively terminated by the Court. On August 1, 2005, defendants
filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Second Amended Complaint and
Tricom filed a declaratory counterclaim. On November 2, 2005, the Court
allowed Tricom to plead two additional defenses and declaratory counterclaims
in
the case, and on January 3, 2006, the parties filed a Stipulation of Dismissal
of the Estoppel and Unenforceability Counterclaims and Affirmative
Defenses. On February 28, 2006, the parties filed a Supplemental Proposed
Joint Pretrial Order, and on March 1, 2006, the Court certified that fact
discovery in this action was complete. On
June 29, 2006, the Court held a pre-motion conference at our request to discuss
our proposed motion to disqualify defendants' counsel for a conflict of
interest. Pursuant to the Court's order, we served moving papers upon
defendants on July 14, 2006 and defendants served opposition to the motion
on
around July 28, 2006. We served a reply to the opposition on August 11,
2006 and filed the motion with the Court. Also, on or about July 21, 2006,
defendants filed with the Court a motion for claim construction together with
our opposition to defendants' motion and defendants' reply to the
opposition. The Court has not scheduled a hearing date for either motion
and there is no trial date pending.
15
We
are
not aware of any infringement by our products or technology on the proprietary
rights of others.
Other
than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any legal or
regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to
have
a material adverse effect on our business.

(d) Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
On
August
9, 2005, we successfully completed our private placement of 1,250,000 shares
of
common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $4,440,000. In
connection with the private placement, investors received five year warrants
to
purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.40 per share.
We purchased 110,000 of these warrants on December 13, 2005 for $25,000 and
retired them, leaving 390,000 currently outstanding. Our placement agent
received $350,000 and a warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock
at a price of $5.40 per share which expires on August 8, 2010, as compensation
for services rendered in the private placement. These shares were subsequently
registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective
as of October 7, 2005. Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption
from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as they were
issued to accredited investors.
On
September 21, 2005, we entered into a two (2) year agreement with a consulting
firm to help with our public and investor relations activities. We agreed to
pay
$6,000 per month for the first 12 months of the agreement and $9,000 per month
for the following 12 months. In addition, we issued a warrant granting the
right
to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $4.62
per
share, which vested ratably over the twelve month period after signing. All
warrants are currently vested. The fair value of this warrant amounted to
$318,221 using the Black-Scholes valuation method and was recorded in Deferred
Compensation during the third quarter of 2005. The contract was cancelable
after
the first year under certain terms and conditions. We renegotiated the terms
of
the Agreement at the end of the twelve month period and currently pay $6,000
per
month for the services. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid
with
respect to such securities. Such securities were issued pursuant to the
exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
as
they were issued to accredited investors.
17
(e) Repurchases
of Equity Securities
In
March 2001, our Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business
and
market conditions, the purchase of up to $1,000,000 of our common stock. As
of
December 31, 2006, we cumulatively purchased 40,200 shares totaling
approximately $222,000 and subsequently retired these shares. There were no
shares purchased during 2006. We may purchase additional shares when warranted
by certain conditions.

7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview
Intelli-Check
was formed in 1994 to address a growing need for a reliable document and age
verification system that could be used to detect fraudulent driver licenses
and
other widely accepted forms of government-issued identification documents.
Since
then, our technology has been further developed for application in the
commercial fraud protection, access control and governmental security markets.
Additionally, it is currently being used to increase productivity by addressing
inefficiencies and inaccuracies associated with manual data entry. The core
of
Intelli-Check’s product offerings is our proprietary software technology that
verifies the authenticity of driver licenses, state issued non-driver and
military identification cards used as proof of identity. Our patented
ID-Check®
software technology instantly reads, analyzes, and verifies the encoded format
in magnetic stripes and barcodes on government-issue IDs from over 60
jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada to determine if the encoded format is
valid. We have served as the national testing laboratory for the American
Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) since 1999 and have access
to all the currently available encoded driver license formats.
18
Since
the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001, and because of continuing
terrorist threats worldwide since then, we believe there has been a significant
increase in awareness of our software technology to help improve security across
many industries, including airlines, rail transportation and high profile
buildings and infrastructure, which we believe should enhance future demand
for
our technology. The adaptation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive
12
(HSPD 12) and the promulgation of Federal Identity Processing Standards 201
(FIPS 201) have raised the awareness of our technology in the government sector.
Therefore, we have begun to market to various government and state agencies,
which have long sales cycles, including extended test periods. Since inception,
we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from operating
activities and, as of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $42 million. We will continue to fund operating and capital
expenditures from proceeds that we received
from sales of our equity securities.
In view of the rapidly evolving nature of our business and our operating
history, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of revenues and operating
results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as
indications of future performance.
By
verifying the encoded format, our ID-Check® patented
technology provides
the ability to verify the validity of military IDs, driver licenses and state
issued non-driver ID cards that contain magnetic stripes, bar codes and SMART
chips, which
enables us to target three distinct markets. Our original target market was
focused on resellers of age-restricted products, such as alcohol and tobacco,
where the proliferation of high-tech fake IDs exposes merchants to fines and
penalties for the inadvertent sale of these products to underage purchasers.
We
now also
target
commercial fraud, which includes identity theft, and our technology is designed
to help prevent losses from these frauds. We are also marketing our products
for
security applications involving access control. As a result of its applicability
in these markets, we have sold our products to some of the largest companies
in
the gaming industry, significant retailers, several large financial service
companies, Certegy, now part of Fidelity National, one of the largest providers
of check authorization services in the United States, a state port authority,
military establishments, airports, nuclear power plants and high profile
buildings. Our technology is currently being tested by several Fortune 50
Companies. We have entered into strategic alliances with VeriFone, the largest
provider of credit card terminals in the U.S., the two largest providers of
driver licenses in North America to assist with their compliance with the
provisions of the Real ID Act (which is intended to set standards for the
issuance of driver licenses and identification cards), several biometric
companies, Northrop Grumman, EDS and General Dynamics (formerly Anteon),
integrators in the defense industry, and Intermec Technologies, Motorola and
Metrologic, hardware manufacturers, to utilize our systems and software as
the
proposed or potential verification application for their proposed solutions
for
credentialing in the government sector and to jointly market these security
applications. The passage of the Real ID ACT together with the regulations
arising from HSPD-12, which sets the policy for a common identification standard
for federal employees and contractors, have additionally created opportunities
for our verification technology in the governmental market at the federal,
state
and local levels. In addition, we have executed agreements with some high
profile organizations to promote the use of our technology and our products.
We
believe these relationships have broadened our marketing reach through their
sales efforts and we intend to develop additional strategic alliances with
additional high profile organizations and providers of security solutions.
We
have developed additional software products that utilize our patented software
technology. Our products include ID-Check®
Portal, ID-Check®
POS, ID-Check®
BHO, ID-Traveler and the ID-Prove software solution. ID-Check®
Portal utilizes our ID-Check® technology
together with ID-Prove to provide an additional layer of security to prove
an
individual’s claimed identity. ID-Check®
POS is the technology that has been integrated into multiple VeriFone platforms
such as the 37xx series to enable the user to do verification of the encoded
format on driver licenses as an additional function of the terminal.
ID-Check®
BHO is a browser helper object that enables a customer to add the
ID-Check®
technology as a “plug-in,” to Internet Explorer pages without requiring software
programming expertise. ID-Traveler electronically verifies and matches two
forms
of government issued IDs instantaneously while the embedded ID-Prove software
solution provides “out of wallet” questions to assist in proving a user’s
claimed identity. Additional software solutions include ID-Check®
PC and ID-Check®
Mobile, which replicate the features of ID-Check®.
Another application is C-Link®,
the company’s networkable data management software. Additionally,
ID-Check®
PC and C-Link®
are designed to read the smart chip contained on the military Common Access
Card
(CAC). These products, which run on a personal computer, were created to work
in
conjunction with our ID-Check® technology
and allow a user to first verify the encoded format and then view the encoded
data for further verification. Our ID-Check® Mobile
product gives the user the additional flexibility of utilizing our software
in a
hand-held product. To date, we have entered into multiple licensing agreements
and are in discussions with additional companies to license our software to
be
utilized within other existing systems.
19
Critical
Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in
the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include
inventory reserves, deferred tax valuation allowances and doubtful accounts
and
allowances. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates,
actual results reported in future periods may be different from those
estimates.
We
believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to
understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect
the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas involving
management's judgments and estimates. These significant accounting policies
relate to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, stock based compensation,
deferred taxes and commitments and contingencies. These policies and our
procedures related to these policies are described in detail below.
Revenue
Recognition and Deferred Revenue
We
sell our products directly through our sales force and through distributors.
Revenue from direct sales of our product is recognized when
shipped
to the customer and title has passed. Our products require continuing service
or
post contract customer support and performance by us; accordingly, a portion
of
the revenue pertaining to the service and support is deferred based on its
fair
value and recognized ratably over the period in which the future service,
support and performance are provided, which is generally one year. Currently,
with respect to sales of certain of our products, we do not have enough
experience to identify the fair value of each element and the full amount of
the
revenue and related gross margin is deferred and recognized ratably over the
one-year period in which the future service, support and performance are
provided.
In
addition, we recognize sales from licensing of our patented software to
customers. Our licensed software requires continuing service or post contract
customer support and performance by us; accordingly, a portion of the revenue
is
deferred based on its fair value and recognized ratably over the period in
which
the future service, support and performance are provided, which is generally
one
year.
The
Company receives royalties from the licensing of its technology, which are
recognized as revenues in the period they are earned.
Stock-Based
Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R). We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using
a
modified prospective application, as permitted under SFAS No. 123(R).
Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this
application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards
granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously
granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123(R)
requires that the cost resulting from all share based payment transactions
be
recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value
as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements
and requires us to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting
for
generally all share based payment transactions with employees.
Deferred
Income Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using expected tax rates in effect for the year in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We have recorded
a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as of December 31,
2006, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets.
20
Commitments
and Contingencies
We
are
currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in Item 3, above.
Other than as described in Item 3 above, we do not believe these legal
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
The
above
listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting
policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction
is
specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no
need
for management's judgment in their application. There are also areas in which
management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce
a
materially different result.

of Operations
COMPARISON
OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2005
REVENUE.
Revenues
increased by 32.7%, or $778,322, from $2,383,532 for the year ended December
31,
2005 to $3,161,854 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenues for the period
ended December 31, 2006 consisted of revenues from distributors of $1,058,426,
revenues from direct sales to customers of $2,074,925 and royalty payments
of
$28,503. Sales bookings, which represents shipments of products and contracted
services, and which include revenues that are deferred in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, increased by 36% from $2.5 million
for
the year ended December 31, 2005 to $3.4 million for the year ended December
30,
2006. Revenues and sales bookings increases are due to Intelli-Check’s ongoing
success in penetrating certain key markets. We remain optimistic that sales
opportunities should continue to increase as a result of our recent successes
in
the retail market, continued sales to new customers, the positive results of
certain of our recent marketing and governmental tests and our introduction
of
additional products in 2005 and 2006, as well as legislative efforts to improve
identity management and security and to control sales of age-restricted
products. However, period to period comparisons may not be indicative of future
operating results, since we still face long sales cycles, particularly in the
government sector, and, therefore, we cannot predict with certainty at this
time
in which period the opportunities currently in the pipeline will develop into
sales or if they will develop at all. As of December 31, 2006 we have a backlog,
which represents non-cancelable sales orders for products and services not
yet
shipped or performed, as the case may be, of approximately $1,052,000, an
increase of 96.2% as compared to our backlog of approximately $536,000 at
December 31, 2005.
GROSS
PROFIT.
Gross
profits increased by $485,596 or 29.6% from $1,638,917 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 to $2,124,513 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our gross
profit, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 1.6% to 67.2% in the year ended
December 31, 2006 compared to the 68.8% reported for the year ended December
31,
2005 due to a higher percentage of bundled sales which include hardware and
software in 2006.
OPERATING
EXPENSES.
Operating
expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and research
and
development expenses, increased 4% from $5,023,724 for the year ended
December
31,
2005 to
$5,227,357 for the year ended December
31,
2006.
Selling expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and related costs for
marketing, increased 24.4% from $1,257,810 for the year ended December
31,
2005 to
$1,564,843 for the year ended December
31,
2006,
primarily due to an increase in salaries, commissions, advertising and website
costs of approximately $153,000 and an increase in non-cash expenses from the
granting of stock options totaling approximately $148,000. General and
administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and related costs
for general corporate functions, including executive, accounting, facilities
and
fees for legal and professional services, decreased 5.6% from $2,824,384 for
the
year ended December
31,
2005 to
$2,664,950 for the year ended December
31,
2006,
primarily as a result of a decrease in expenses relating to investor relations
fees of approximately $71,000, a decrease in legal fees of approximately
$242,000, primarily relating to decreased activity on our patent infringement
litigation, a decrease in accounting fees of approximately $35,000, a decrease
of certain non-recurring costs relating to equity raising activities totaling
approximately $180,000, and a decrease in rent expense of approximately $40,000
due to the reduction in rented space, which were partially offset by increases
in employee costs and related expenses and travel of approximately $75,000,
an
increase in non-cash expenses from the granting of stock options totaling
approximately $372,000 and an increase in board of directors fees and expenses
of approximately $30,000. Research and development expenses, which consist
primarily of salaries and related costs for the development of our products,
increased 6% from $941,530 for the year ended December
31,
2005 to
$997,564 for the year ended December
31,
2006,
primarily as a result of increases in employee salaries and related expenses
of
approximately $65,000 and an increase in non-cash expenses from the granting
of
stock options totaling approximately $8,000, which were partially offset by
a
decrease in consulting expenses for product development of approximately
$26,000. We believe that we will require additional investments in development
and operating infrastructure as the Company continues to grow. Therefore, we
expect that expenses will continue to incrementally increase in line with
increases in the growth of the business, since we may increase expenditures
for
hiring of additional sales and support personnel, advertising, brand promotion
and other marketing activities. Research and development expenses may also
increase as we integrate additional products and technologies with our patented
ID-Check technology.
21
INTEREST
INCOME.
Interest
income increased from $145,848 for the year ended December
31,
2005 to
$222,874 for the year ended December
31,
2006,
which is a result of an increase in our cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities and short term investments available for investment from the
completion of our private placement in August 2005, as well as higher interest
rates received on investments during 2006.
INCOME
TAXES.
We
have
incurred net losses to date; therefore, we have paid nominal income taxes.
NET
LOSS. As
a
result of the factors noted above, our net loss decreased 11% from $3,238,959
for the year ended December 31, 2005, which included $431,336 of non-cash
expenses, to $2,879,970 for the year ended December 31, 2006, which included
$939,555 of non-cash expenses.
COMPARISON
OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2004.
REVENUE.
Revenue increased $1,264,183 or 113% from $1,119,349 for the year ended December
31, 2004 to $2,383,532 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Revenues for the
period ended December 31, 2005 consisted of revenue from distributors of
$573,920, revenues from direct sales to customers of $1,751,132 and royalty
income of $58,480. Sales
bookings, which represent shipments of products and contracted services, which
include revenues that are deferred in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, increased by $1.4 million from the year ended December
31, 2004 to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Revenues
and sales bookings increases are due to Intelli-Check’s continuing success in
penetrating certain key target markets. We are optimistic that sales
opportunities should continue to increase as a result of our recent success
in
the retail market, the positive results of certain of our recent marketing
tests
and agreements and our introduction of additional products in 2004 and 2005,
as
well as legislative efforts to improve identity management and security and
control sales of age restricted products. However, period to period comparisons
may not be indicative of future operating results, since we still face long
sales cycles, particularly in the government sector, and therefore, we cannot
predict with certainty at this time, in which period the opportunities currently
in the pipeline will develop into sales. As of December 31, 2005 we have a
backlog, which represent products and services of non cancelable sales orders
not yet shipped, of approximately $536,000.
GROSS
PROFIT.
Gross profits, excluding an inventory write down of $357,332 for 2004, would
have increased by $913,152 or 126% from $725,765 for the year ended December
31,
2004 to $1,638,917 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our gross profit
excluding the inventory write downs for 2004 as a percentage of revenues would
have increased to 68.8% in the year ended December 31, 2005 from 64.8% for
the
year ended December 31, 2004. Our gross profit percentage was positively
impacted by an increase in revenues from licensing our patented technology
at
higher gross margins than our bundled hardware and software
products.
OPERATING
EXPENSES.
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and
research and development expenses, decreased 32.0% from $7,385,394 for the
year
ended December 31, 2004 to $5,023,724 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Selling expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and related costs for
marketing, increased 6.9% from $1,176,911 for the year ended December 31, 2004
to $1,257,810 for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily
due to an increase in salaries, commissions and employee costs of approximately
$39,000, increased travel and convention expenses of approximately $69,000
and a
net increase of non-recurring expenses of $19,000 from the hiring of
professional consultants to promote our products, which was partially offset
by
a decrease in advertising and marketing expenses of approximately
$45,000.
General and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, accounting,
facilities and fees for legal and professional services, decreased 43.9% from
$5,032,207 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $2,824,384 for the year
ended
December 31, 2005, primarily
as a result of a decrease in non-cash expenses primarily related to the
extension of stock options totaling $1,480,000, a decrease in legal fees of
approximately $803,000 relating to decreased activity on our patent infringement
litigation, a decrease in employee costs and related expenses of approximately
$14,000, a decrease in insurance costs of approximately $20,000, a decrease
of
bad debt expense of approximately $20,000 and a decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense of approximately $61,000 as a result of certain assets
becoming fully depreciated which were partially offset by expensing certain
non-recurring costs relating to equity raising activities totaling approximately
$180,000.
Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
related costs for the development of our products, decreased 20.0% from
$1,176,276 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $941,530 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 primarily
as a result of decreases in salaries and related expenses of approximately
$230,000 and decreases in internal development costs of approximately $26,000,
which were partially offset by an increase in consulting expenses for product
development of approximately $26,000.
We believe that we will require additional investments in development and
operating infrastructure as the Company grows. Therefore, we expect that
expenses will continue to incrementally increase in line with increases in
the
growth of the business as we may increase expenditures for advertising, brand
promotion, public relations and other marketing activities. Research and
development expenses may also increase as we complete
and introduce additional products based upon our patented ID-Check
technology.
22
INTEREST
INCOME.
Interest income increased from $94,030 for the year ended December 31, 2004
to
$145,848 for the year ended December 31, 2005, which
is
a result of an increase in our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities
and short term investments available for investment from the completion of
our
private placement, as well as higher interest rates from investments, during
2005.
INCOME
TAXES.
We have incurred net losses to date and, therefore, we have paid nominal income
taxes.
NET
LOSS.
As a result of the factors noted above, our net loss decreased 53% from
$6,922,931 for the year ended December 31, 2004, which included $2,231,544
of
non-cash expenses to $3,238,959 for the year ended December 31, 2005, which
included $431,336 of non-cash expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
To
date,
we have financed our operations through several private and public placements
of
equity and debt securities as well as from the proceeds received from the
exercise of warrants, stock options and rights. During 2004, we received net
proceeds of $427,929 from the exercise of 142,700 stock options. On August
9,
2005, we successfully completed a private placement of 1,250,000 shares of
common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $4,440,000. During
2006,
we received $524,575 from the exercise of 135,450 stock options. We used the
net
proceeds of those financings for the primary purpose of funding working capital
and general corporate purposes as well as for the purchase of hardware
terminals.
Cash
used
in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $2,006,175
was
primarily attributable to the net loss of $2,879,970, an increase in accounts
receivable of $183,434 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses
of $228,170, which was primarily offset by an increase of deferred revenue
of
$342,408, a non-cash stock based compensation expense resulting primarily from
the granting and vesting of stock options of $826,356, and amortization of
deferred compensation of $129,756. Cash used in operating activities for the
year ended December 31, 2005 of $3,143,805 was primarily attributable to the
net
loss of $3,238,959, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$511,505 resulting from payment and reduction of our legal fees and an increase
in other current assets of $139,729, which was primarily offset by recognition
of non-cash stock based compensation expense resulting from the extension and
exercise of stock options of $228,450, amortization of deferred compensation
of
$143,758 and an increase in deferred revenue of $184,300. Cash provided by
investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $1,480,267 resulted
primarily from the net redemption of marketable securities and short term
investments of $1,504,175. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2005 of $1,181,420 resulted primarily from the net increase in
investments in marketable securities and short term investments of $1,171,324.
Cash provided by financing activities was $524,575 for the year ended December
31, 2006, resulted from the proceeds received from the issuance of common stock
from the exercise of stock options. Cash provided by financing activities was
$4,486,178 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and was primarily related to
proceeds of $168,900 from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of
stock options and from proceeds of our private offering of $4,439,593, which
was
partially offset by the payment of dividends to preferred stock holders of
$97,315.
23
As
of
December 31, 2006, warrants to purchase 938,636 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an average exercise price of $6.11 were outstanding.
On
August
9, 2005, we successfully completed our secondary offering of 1,250,000 shares
of
common stock at $4.00 per share and received net proceeds of approximately
$4,440,000. In connection with the offering, investors received five year
warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$5.40 per share. In addition, we granted to our placement agent a warrant to
purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.40 per share which
expires on August 8, 2010. During December 2005, we purchased and retired
110,000 of the five year warrants originally issued in connection with the
offering for $25,000.
On
March 27, 2003, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold 30,000
shares of our Series A 8% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value
$.01
per share, for $3,000,000 before expenses to Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. Each
share of Preferred Stock entitled the holder to receive dividends of 8% per
annum and was convertible into 15.1515 shares of our common stock for a total
of
454,545 shares of common stock. On
February 25, 2005, Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. converted their Preferred Stock
into 454,545 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $6.60 per
share. A final dividend payment of $97,315 was paid in 2005 for the period
up to
the date of conversion. As a result of this conversion, the period we used
in
estimating the accretion of all of the costs associated with the issuance of
the
Preferred Stock changed from five (5) years to 1.9166 years. Accordingly, the
accretion was increased in the first quarter of 2005 by $119,956 and amounted
to
$160,722 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Additionally, as a result of
this
conversion, we retired the 30,000 shares of preferred stock, issued 454,545
shares of our common stock and recorded $3,000,000 as an increase to equity.
Gryphon Master Fund was also issued five year warrants to purchase 113,636
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.78, which will expire on
October 3, 2008.
In
March
2001, we declared a dividend distribution of one non-transferable right to
purchase one share of our common stock for every 10 outstanding shares of common
stock continuously held from the record date to the date of exercise, as well
as
common stock underlying vested stock options and warrants, held of record on
March 30, 2001, at an exercise price of $8.50. The
rights were due to expire on October 4, 2002, which was one year after the
effective date of the registration statement related to the shares of common
stock underlying the rights. We first extended the expiration date until April
4, 2003; then we extended the rights until December 31, 2003; we further
extended the expiration date to June 30, 2004; we then again extended the
expiration date to June 30, 2005; and subsequently extended the expiration
date
to June 30, 2006. The Rights were further extended until June
30,
2007. We
have the right to redeem the outstanding rights for $.01 per right under certain
conditions, which were not met as of March 29, 2007. We reserved 970,076 shares
of common stock for future issuance under this rights offering. Cumulatively,
as
of December 31, 2006, we received $2,482,009 before expenses from the exercise
of 292,001 of these rights.
In
March 2001, our Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business
and
market conditions, the purchase of up to $1,000,000 of our common stock. As
of
December 31, 2006, we cumulatively purchased 40,200 shares totaling
approximately $222,000 and subsequently retired these shares. None of these
shares were purchased during 2006. We may purchase additional shares when
warranted by certain conditions.
During
2006, the Company’s cash expense burn rate was approximately $125,000 per month
after contribution from margin on revenue and proceeds received from the
exercise of options and warrants and we expect that it will remain stable at
approximately $120,000 per month after contribution from margin on revenue
but
before any proceeds received from the exercise of options and warrants. This
takes into account the projected increases in costs due to the expected growth
of our business during 2007. We currently anticipate that our available cash
in
hand and marketable securities and cash resources from expected revenues from
the sale of the units in inventory and the licensing of our technology will
be
sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next twelve months. These requirements are
expected to include the purchase of inventory, product development, sales and
marketing, working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.
We
may need to raise additional funds, however, to respond to business
contingencies which may include the need to fund more rapid expansion, fund
additional marketing expenditures, develop new markets for our ID-Check® technology,
enhance our operating infrastructure, respond to competitive pressures, or
acquire complementary businesses or necessary technologies.
24
We
are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in Item 3
above. We do not believe these legal proceedings will have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Net
Operating Loss Carry Forwards
As
of
December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards (NOL’s) for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $33.2 million. There can be no
assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the NOL’s. The federal
NOL’s are available to offset future taxable income which expires beginning in
the year 2013 if not utilized. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code,
these NOL’s may be limited in the event of an ownership change.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have
never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never
established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or
commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial
assets.
Forward
Looking Statements
This
document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating
future growth in revenues, loss from operations and cash flow. Words such as
“anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,”
“believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any
discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current
expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or
forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in
circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to, and expressly
disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements
whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or
otherwise.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
This
10-K
contains disclosure of our "sales bookings" and “backlog” for certain periods,
which may be deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of
Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe
that discussion of our sales bookings provides investors with additional
information regarding revenues it has received in respect of products and
services that have been shipped to a customer, but which are required to be
deferred for a period of less than one year under applicable principles of
GAAP.
The disclosure of "sales bookings” and “backlog” may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies. "Sales bookings" and
“backlog,” while providing useful information, should not be considered in
isolation or as an alternative to other financial measures determined in
accordance with GAAP.
25
Item
7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
Financial
instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist
primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company
maintains cash between two financial institutions. The marketable securities
consist primarily of short term investment grade corporate and government bonds
and Certificate of Deposits. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the
relative credit standing of these institutions.
Item
8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our
financial statements and supplementary data are attached hereto beginning on
Page F-1.
Item
9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosures
There
have been no changes in or disagreements with the Company’s principal
independent registered public accounting firm for the two-year period ended
December 31, 2006.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
Internal
Controls
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed (i) to collect the information we
are
required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC, and (ii) to process,
summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in
the
rules of the SEC. Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial
Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our
disclosure controls and procedures. Such evaluation was conducted as of the
end
of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief
Executive and Acting Chief Financial Officer has concluded that these procedures
are effective.
Additionally,
there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls
subsequent to the end of the period covered by this report. We have not
identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal
controls, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
Compliance
with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
If
we
meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
Act), which will be determined as of June 30, 2007, beginning with our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, we will be
required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over
financial reporting. This report will contain, among other matters, an
assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not
our
internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must
include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting identified by management. If we identify one or more
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will
be
unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is
effective. This report will also contain a statement that our independent
registered public accountants have issued an attestation report on management’s
assessment of such internal controls and conclusion on the operating
effectiveness of those controls.
Management
acknowledges its responsibility for internal controls over financial reporting
and seeks to continually improve those controls. In order to achieve compliance
with Section 404 of the Act within the prescribed period, we are currently
performing the system and process documentation and evaluation needed to comply
with Section 404, which is both costly and challenging. We believe our process,
which began in 2005 and continues to date for documenting, evaluating and
monitoring our internal control over financial reporting is consistent with
the
objectives of Section 404 of the Act.

Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
The

One such rule requires disclosure of filings, which under the Commission’s
rules, are not deemed to be timely. During the review of Forms 4, it was
determined that Mr. Mandelbaum failed to file a timely report concerning the
exercise of 25,000 stock options on January 3, 2006; however, such failure
was
remedied by the reporting of this transaction on February 1, 2006. All other
transactions were reported
in a timely
fashion.
Code
of Ethics
On
March 22, 2004, we adopted a code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and other persons who perform similar
functions. A copy of our Code of Ethics is incorporated
by reference
as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Code of Ethics is intended
to be a codification of the business and ethical principles which guide us,
and
to deter wrongdoing, to promote honest and ethical conduct, to avoid conflicts
of interest, and to foster full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosures, compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and
regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations and accountability
for
adherence to this Code.
Item
11. Executive Compensation
The
information required by this item is incorporated by reference to, and will
be
contained in, our definitive proxy statement, which we anticipate will be filed
no later than April 30, 2007, and thus we have omitted this information in
accordance with General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K.
Item
12. Security

Matters
The
following table sets forth, as of March

pursuant to such options. The vesting schedule of the options varies, with
some vesting immediately and some vesting upon the completion of certain
performance objectives. The non-plan options currently outstanding have
been granted to nine (9) persons. These options have a weighted average
exercise price per share equal to $6.55 and options to purchase 776,925 shares
of common stock are currently exercisable.
Item
13. Certain
Relationships,
Related Transactions and Director Independence
On
January 1, 2005, we renewed our agreement with Alexandros Partners LLC to act
as
consultants in advising us in financial and investor relation matters. A
principal of Alexandros Partners LLC was a member of our Board of Directors.
We
paid a consulting fee of $50,000 in 12 equal monthly installments. The agreement
terminated on December 31, 2005. This transaction was approved by all of the
independent directors of our Board of Directors.
In
2006
the Company did not have any Transactions with Related Persons under Item 404(a)
of Regulation S-K. The Governance Committee reviews annual cumulative ordinary
course of business transactions with firms associated with directors and
nominees for director. The Company’s management also monitors such transactions
on an ongoing basis. Executive officers and directors are governed by the
Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which provides that waivers may
only be granted by the Board of Directors and must be promptly disclosed to
shareholders. No such waivers were granted nor applied for in 2006. The
Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require that all directors recuse
themselves from any discussion or decision affecting their personal, business
or
professional interests.
The
Board
of Directors has determined that Messrs. Levy, Maxwell,
Money, Rao and Smith, are each independent
directors as defined in Section 121(A) of the American
Stock Exchange's listing standards.
The
board
of directors has established a compensation committee which is
currently comprised of Mr. Money, chairperson, Mr. Levy and Mr. Maxwell, each
of
whom is independent as defined in
Section 121(A) of the American Stock Exchange's listing
standards. The compensation committee reviews and recommends to the board
the compensation for all officers and directors of our company and reviews
general policy matters relating to the compensation and benefits of all
employees. The compensation committee also administers the stock option
plans.
The
board of directors has established a
corporate governance and nominating committee, which is comprised of
Mr. Levy, chairperson, Mr. Money and Mr. Smith, each of whom
is independent as defined in Section 121(A) of the American
Stock Exchange's listing standards. The
corporate governance and nominating committee reviews our internal policies
and procedures and by-laws. With respect to nominating director candidates,
this committee identifies and evaluates potential
director candidates and recommends candidates for
appointment or election to the Board.
32
The
board of directors has a separately
designated audit committee established in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is
currently comprised of Mr. Rao, chairperson, Mr. Maxwell and Mr.
Smith. The members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined in
Section 121(A) of the American Stock Exchange's listing standards.
The audit committee recommends to the board of directors the annual
engagement of a firm of independent accountants and reviews with
the independent accountants the scope and
results of audits, our internal accounting
controls and audit practices and professional
services rendered to us by our
independent accountants.
Item

April 21, 2004, our principal independent auditor was Grant Thornton LLP.

The

services, provided by our independent accountants. For audit services, each
year
the independent auditor provides the Audit Committee with an engagement letter
outlining the scope of proposed audit services to be performed during the year,
which must be formally accepted by the Committee before the audit commences.
The
independent auditor also submits an audit services fee proposal, which also
must
be approved by the Committee before the audit commences.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Intelli-Check,
Inc.
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Intelli-Check, Inc. (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required
to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropri-ate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Intelli-Check, Inc. as of December
31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2006,
the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004), “Share-Based Payment.”
We
have
also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the index at item
15(a)(2), schedule II for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006.
In
our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

INTELLI-CHECK,
INC.
NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE
OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY
Business
Intelli-Check
(“the Company” or “we”) was formed in 1994 to address a growing need for a
reliable document and age verification system that could be used to detect
fraudulent driver licenses and other widely accepted forms of government-issued
identification documents. Since then, our technology has been further developed
for application in the commercial fraud protection, access control and
governmental security markets. Additionally, it is currently being used to
increase productivity by addressing inefficiencies and inaccuracies associated
with manual data entry. The core of Intelli-Check’s product offerings is our
proprietary software technology that verifies the authenticity of driver
licenses, state issued non-driver and military identification cards used
as
proof of identity. Our patented ID-Check®
software
technology instantly reads, analyzes, and verifies the encoded format in
magnetic stripes and barcodes on government-issue IDs from over 60 jurisdictions
in the U.S. and Canada by determining if the format conforms to the known
jurisdictional format. We have served as the national testing laboratory
for the
American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) since 1999 and
have
received encoding formats from all of the issuing jurisdictions in North
America.
We
also
introduced three products, ID-Traveler™, ID-Prove™ and ID-Check®
Portal,
which provide "in-person proofing" to meet the credentialing requirements
of
Presidential Directive HSPD-12, a policy for a Common Identification Standard
for Federal Employees and Contractors and help in Patriot Act compliance.
All of
our new innovations and product roll-outs are designed to be capable of being
used with our data capture devices which are compact, and contain either
one or
both of two-dimensional bar code and magnetic stripe readers, which enables
the
new software technology applications to be used on a variety of commercially
available data processing devices, including PDAs, tablets, laptops, desktops
and point-of-sale computers.
Liquidity
Since
inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash
flow
from operating activities, and as of December 31, 2006 we had an accumulated
deficit of $41,987,852. The Company anticipates that its current available
cash
on hand and marketable securities and cash resources from expected revenues
from
the sale of our products and the licensing of its technology will be sufficient
to meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements
for
at least the next twelve months. These requirements are expected to include
the
purchase of inventory, product development, sales and marketing expenses,
working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. The Company
may need to raise additional funds to respond to business contingencies which
may include the need to fund more rapid expansion, fund additional marketing
expenditures, develop new markets for its ID-Check®
technology, enhance its operating infrastructure, respond to competitive
pressures, or acquire complementary businesses or necessary technologies.

and
cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2005
and
2006, cash equivalents included money market funds, commercial paper and
other
liquid short-term debt instruments (with maturities at date of purchase of
three
months or less) of $467,991 and $155,851, respectively.
Marketable
Securities
The
Company has classified its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as the
Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
The
securities are carried at amortized cost using the specific identification
method. Interest income is recorded using an effective interest rate, with
the
associated premium or discount amortized to interest income. All of the
Company’s marketable securities have maturities of less than one year with a
weighted average interest rate of 4.04%. The carrying value of the marketable
securities as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 approximated the fair market
value.

Doubtful
Accounts and Allowances
The
Company records its doubtful accounts and allowances based upon its assessment
of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age
of the
accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current
economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to
pay.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market and cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out method. Inventory is primarily comprised of finished
goods.
Long-Lived
Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company’s long-lived assets include property and equipment and
patents.
Under
the
provision of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets” which supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” SFAS No. 144 requires that
identifiable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives
will
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amounts of the assets may be impaired. Furthermore, these
assets are evaluated for continuing value and proper useful lives by comparison
to undiscounted expected future cash flow projections. We did not recognize
an
impairment on our long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2006,
2005 or 2004.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives ranging from two to ten-years using the straight-line basis.
Leasehold improvements are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over
the
lesser of the term of the lease or estimated useful life of the
asset.
Intangible
Assets
Patent
costs, primarily consisting of legal costs and allocated costs are being
amortized over a period of 17 years using the straight-line method.
Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use
The
Company accounts for certain software costs under Statement of Position 98-1,
“Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”), which provides guidance for determining whether
computer software is internal-use software and guidance on accounting for
the
proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal
use
and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance on
capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained
for internal use.
Capitalized
Software Development Costs
SFAS
No.
86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or
Otherwise Marketed,” specifies that costs incurred internally in creating a
computer software product shall be charged to expense when incurred as research
and development until technological feasibility has been established for
the
product. Software production costs for computer software that is to be used
as
an integral part of a product or process shall not be capitalized until both
(a)
technological feasibility has been established for the software and (b) all
research and development activities for the other components of the product
or
process have been completed. The Company has not capitalized any software
costs
for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company sells its products directly through its sales force and through
distributors. Revenue from direct sales
of its product is recognized when
shipped
to the customer and title has passed. The Company’s products require continuing
service or post contract customer support and performance by the Company;
accordingly, a portion of the revenue pertaining to the service and support
is
deferred based on its fair value and recognized ratably over the period in
which
the future service, support and performance are provided, which is generally
one
year. Currently, with respect to sales of certain of the Company’s products, the
Company does not have enough experience to identify the fair value of each
element, therefore, the full amount of the revenue and related gross margin
is
deferred and recognized ratably over the one-year period in which the future
service, support and performance are provided.

NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
addition, the Company recognizes sales from licensing of its patented software
to customers. The Company’s licensed software requires continuing service or
post contract customer support and performance by the Company; accordingly,
a
portion of the revenue is deferred based on its fair value and recognized
ratably over the period in which the future service, support and performance
are
provided, which is generally one year.
The
Company receives royalties from the licensing of its technology, which are
recognized as revenues in the period they are earned. For the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company received $67,113, $58,480 and
$28,503, respectively, in
royalty fees.
Under
the
provisions of EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,”
revenue arrangements were allocated to the separate units of accounting based
on
their relative fair values and revenue is recognized in accordance with its
policy as stated above.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Shipping
Costs
The
Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales for all
periods presented.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using expected tax rates in effect for the year
in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The
Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax
assets
as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, due to the uncertainty of the realizability
of
those assets.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company adheres to the provisions of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments.” This pronouncement requires that the Company
calculate the fair value of financial instruments and include this additional
information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value is
different than the book value of those financial instruments. The Company’s
financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, certificate of
deposits, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable.
At
December 31, 2005 and 2006, the carrying value of the Company’s financial
instruments approximated fair value, due to their short-term nature.
Business
Concentrations and Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk,
consist
primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company
maintains cash between two financial institutions. The marketable securities
consist of short term investment grade corporate bonds. The Company performs
periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions.
The
Company’s sales to date have been limited due to the refocus of its marketing
efforts and introduction of new products to a number of clients which are
concentrated in the United States of America and the long sales cycle to
government entities. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations, generally
does not require collateral, and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends
and other information.

During
the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company made sales to three
and
two customers that accounted for approximately 57.3% and 31.3% of total
revenues, respectively.
As
of
December 31, 2006, the Company had two suppliers for the production of its
input
devices. The Company has modified its software to operate in windows based
systems and can integrate with different hardware platforms that are readily
available in the marketplace. The Company does not maintain a manufacturing
facility of its own and is not dependent on maintaining its production
relationships due to the flexibility of its software to run on multiple existing
platforms.
Net
Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
The
Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per
common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common
share
(“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding.
SFAS
No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the
face
of the statements of operations.
Diluted
EPS for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, does not include
the
impact of stock options and warrants then outstanding, as the effect of their
inclusion would be antidilutive.

Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has stockholder approved stock incentive plans for employees, directors,
officers and consultants. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted
for
the employee, director and officer plans using the intrinsic value method
under
the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board
(“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related
interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS” or “Statement”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.”
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,”
(“Statement 123(R)”) for employee options using the modified prospective
transition method. Statement 123(R) revised Statement 123 to eliminate the
option to use the intrinsic value method and required the Company to expense
the
fair value of all employee options over the vesting period. Under the modified
prospective transition method, the Company recognized compensation cost for
the
year ended December 31, 2006 which includes a) period compensation cost related
to share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January
1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of Statement 123; and b) period compensation cost related
to
share-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant
date fair value estimated in accordance with Statement 123(R). In accordance
with the modified prospective method, the Company has not restated prior
period
results.
The
Company recognized compensation expense related to stock option grants on
a
straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the year ended December
31,
2006, the Company recognized share-based employee and director compensation
cost
of $590,031, in accordance with Statement 123(R). Of this expense, $201,180
resulted from the grant of stock options to employees of the Company on or
prior
to December 31, 2005. The balance of $388,851 relates to the granting of
stock
options to employees and officers on or after January 1, 2006. The Company
did
not capitalize any share-based compensation cost.

Options
granted to consultants and other non-employees are accounted for in accordance
with EITF No. 96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued
to Other
than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services." Accordingly, such options are recorded at fair value at the
date of grant and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each
reporting period until such options vest, and the fair value of the
options, as adjusted, is amortized to consulting expense over the related
vesting period.

Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in
the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements
include
inventory reserves, deferred tax valuation allowances and doubtful accounts
and
allowances. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates,
actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Except
as
discussed below, the Company does not expect the impact of the future adoption
of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on
the
Company’s financial statements.
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering
the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how
prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying
misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining
whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB
108 permits registrants to record the cumulative effect of initial adoption
by
recording the necessary “correcting” adjustments to the carrying values of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting
adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings only if material
under the dual method. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or
after
November 15, 2006. The Company has assessed the effect of adopting this guidance
and has determined that there will be no impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements,” which is effective for calendar year companies on January 1,
2008. The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement codifies
the
definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The standard clarifies the principle
that
fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use
when
pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The Company
is
currently assessing the potential impacts of implementing this
standard.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB No. 109” (“FIN 48”), effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 requires a two-step
approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements
where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated
separately. A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a
“more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. For tax positions that meet
this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount
of tax
benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with the taxing authority. We estimate compliance with FIN 48
will not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

SERIES
A 8% CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
On
March
27, 2003, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, we sold 30,000 shares
of
our Series A 8% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per
share, for $3,000,000 before expenses to Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. Each share
of
Preferred Stock entitled the holder to receive dividends of 8% per annum
and was
convertible into 15.1515 shares of our common stock. Additionally, each investor
received one (1) five year warrant to purchase 3.787875 shares of common
stock
at an exercise price of $6.78 with each share of Preferred Stock purchased.
The
total amount of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock
and exercise of the warrants are 454,545 and 113,636, respectively. Dividend
payments of $120,000 in cash were due semi-annually beginning September 30,
2003. In connection with this financing, we paid agent fees of $150,000 and
issued warrants and options to purchase 8,854 shares of our common stock
at a
price of $6.78. We also paid professional fees of approximately $136,000.
We
recorded the relative fair value of all the warrants issued in connection
with
this transaction of $497,700 against the amount of the Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock as of March 27, 2003, which was calculated using the
Black-Scholes valuation method, as well as $540,000 of beneficial conversion
feature in accordance with EITF 00-27 and such amounts were being accreted
along
with issuance cost of $285,900 over the five year period until the mandatory
redemption date of the Preferred Stock, the fifth anniversary of closing.
We
recorded accretion of dividends of $240,000 for 2004 and $36,822 in 2005.
On
February 25, 2005, Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. converted the Company’s Preferred
Stock into 454,545 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of
$6.60 per share. The Company retired the 30,000 shares of preferred stock,
issued 454,545 shares of its common stock and recorded $3,000,000 as an increase
to stockholders equity. Additionally,
as a result of this conversion, the period we used in estimating the accretion
of all of the costs associated with the issuance of the Preferred Stock changed
from 5 years to 1.9166 years. Accordingly, the accretion was increased in
the
fourth quarter of 2004 by $669,618 and amounted to $964,338 for the year
ended
December 31, 2004. The effect of this change in accounting estimate in 2004
was
a reduction in equity.
8. STOCKHOLDERS’
EQUITY
Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock
In
January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the creation of a class of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $.01. The Series
A
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an equal number of common
shares
at the holder’s option, subject to adjustment for anti-dilution. The holders of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends as
and if
declared by the Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation or dissolution
of the Company, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled
to receive all accrued dividends, if applicable, plus the liquidation price

Common
Stock, Warrants and Rights
In
March
2001, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one non-transferable
right
to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for every 10 outstanding
shares of common stock continuously held from the record date to the date
of
exercise, as well as common stock underlying vested stock options and warrants,
held of record on March 30, 2001, at an exercise price of $8.50. The rights
were
due to expire on October 4, 2002, which was one year after the effective
date of
the registration statement related to the shares of common stock underlying
the
rights. The Company extended the expiration date until April 4, 2003, further
extended the rights until December 31, 2003, June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005,
June
30, 2006 and has additionally extended the expiration date to June 30, 2007.
Under certain conditions, the Company has the right to redeem the outstanding
rights for $.01 per right. Such conditions were not met as of March 27, 2007.
The Company reserved 970,076 shares of common stock for future issuance under
this rights offering. The Company has recorded the fair value of the rights
of
$1,082,000 as a dividend during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, which was
calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method and recorded as an increase
in additional paid-in capital and a reduction in accumulated deficit. The
Company also recorded the fair value of the additional rights extension of
$525,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004, using the Black-Scholes
valuation method and recorded an increase in additional paid-in-capital and
a
reduction in accumulated deficit. There was no expense recorded in 2005 and
2006
for the extension of these rights. As of December 31, 2006, 292,001 of these
rights had been exercised and the Company received cumulatively $2,482,009
before expenses of $133,834.
In
March
2001, the Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain business and
market
conditions, the purchase of up to $1,000,000 of our common stock. As of December
31, 2006, the Company cumulatively purchased 40,200 shares of the Company’s
common stock for approximately $222,000 and subsequently retired those shares.
No shares were purchased in 2006. The Company may purchase additional shares
when warranted by certain conditions.
All
warrants have been issued with an exercise price that is equal to or above
the
fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant.

During
2004, the Company granted warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock
at
an exercise price of $7.54 per share to consultants (see footnote 9). During
2005, the Company granted warrants and options to purchase 150,000 shares
of
common stock at exercise prices ranging from $5.10 to $5.40 per share to
consultants under various agreements. The fair market value of each option
was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Accordingly, we have recorded $542,648, $402,995 and $0 as deferred compensation
for these services as of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
As a
result of some of the granted options having varying vesting periods, the
Company revalued certain options and warrants either as of the vesting date
or
as of the balance sheet date for those options unvested using the Black Scholes
option pricing model. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reduction of the
fair
value of $430,739 and $122,246 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2005,
respectively. During December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company recognized
amortization of deferred compensation of $363,407, $143,758 and $129,756,
respectively. In March, 2006, our consultant returned and cancelled a stock
option agreement which the Company issued in February 2002 that granted options
to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.10.
The
remaining unamortized balance in deferred compensation of $82,812 was reduced
and offset against additional paid in capital and amortization expense of
$53,317 recorded through December 31, 2005 and was recognized as income in
the
first quarter of 2006.

Expected
volatility was calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock
price over the last five years. The expected term of the options is estimated
based on the Company’s historical exercise rate and forfeiture rates are
estimated based on employment termination experience. The risk free interest
rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time
of
grants with terms approximating the term of the grants. The assumptions
used in
the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective, and can
materially affect the resulting valuation.

As
of
December 31, 2006, there was $441,046 of total unrecognized compensation
cost,
net of estimated forfeitures, related to all unvested stock options, which
is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
2.0
years.
On
July
8, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors agreed to extend the expiration date
of the Chief Executive Officer’s options to July 15, 2008, which originally were
due to expire on July 15, 2004. As a result, the Company recorded the fair
value
of the extension of $1,347,000 as a non cash expense during the second quarter
ended December 31, 2004, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation
method.
During
January 2005 and 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the cashless
exercise of 25,000 options each year which were converted into 6,204 and
9,277
shares, respectively of its common stock for the Company’s Chairman and CEO. As
a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the shares issued as a non-cash
expense totaling $44,250 and $0, respectively which was calculated using
the
Black-Scholes valuation method.
During
2005 and 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the expiration date of
270,500 and 56,500 stock options for three and one of the Company’s directors
who resigned from the Board for an additional 9 and 12 months, respectively.
As
a result, we recorded the fair value of the extension of $184,200 and $34,350
as
a non cash expense during the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006,
respectively which was calculated in accordance with Financial Interpretation
No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving stock compensation.”
On
September 9, 2005, the Board of Directors agreed to accelerate the vesting
of
all employee, officer and director unvested stock options outstanding under
our
stock option plans with exercise prices that are “out of the money” prior to
December 31, 2005. The total number of options that were earlier vested
amount to 347,500 and had a range of exercise prices of $4.37 to $6.30 and
a
weighted average exercise price of $5.03. The high and low of the closing
price of our common stock between September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2005
was
$4.37 and $6.30. The purpose of the accelerated vesting was
to enable us to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these
options upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The fair value associated
with the accelerated options that would have been reflected in our financial
statements amounted
to $926,189 using the Black-Scholes valuation method,
which is included in pro forma stock-based employee compensation expense
for
2005. Effective November 7, 2006, the Board enacted a new policy regarding
all
future stock option grants. Such policy requires that all
future stock option issuances are set to be granted on the third Thursday
of
each month and that each such issuance will have a strike price per share
equal
to the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock on such day.
In
the
opinion of management, all stock options have been issued with an exercise
price
that is equal or above the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on
the date of grant.
As
of
December 31, 2006, the Company has warrants outstanding for 938,636 shares
of
common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.11, which expire
between
March 26, 2008 and August 21, 2011.
Operating
Leases
During
July 2000, the Company entered into a 10-year lease agreement for its new
office. The lease provided for monthly rental payments of $17,458 beginning
December 15, 2000 with small annual increases. In connection with this lease,
the Company provided an irrevocable unconditional letter of credit in the
amount
of $250,000 as security, which was cancelled in 2004 and replaced with a
cash
security payment of $34,916 for the remaining lease term. Effective October
16,
2005, the Company amended its office lease that provided for a reduction
in
office space from approximately 9,700 square feet to approximately 7,100
square
feet for the remainder of the lease term which expires December 31, 2010.
In
addition, payments under the amended lease were reduced to $16,244 per month
and
such reduction will increase by approximately 4% per year.
In
addition, the Company has entered into various leases for office equipment
and
office space expiring through December 2010. Future minimum lease payments
under
these lease agreements are as follows:

Royalty
and License Agreements
The
Company entered into an agreement with a former officer of the Company during
1996 to license certain software. The agreement stipulated, among other
provisions, that the officer would receive royalties equal to a percentage
of
the Company’s gross sales. This agreement was terminated in May 1999 and was
superceded by a new agreement which calls for payment of royalties of .005%
on
gross sales from $2,000,000 to $52,000,000 and .0025% on gross sales in excess
of $52,000,000 pertaining to those patents on which Mr. Messina was identified
as an inventor. As of December 31, 2006, total fees payable under this agreement
amounted to approximately $440.
On
February 19, 2003, the Company filed a summons and complaint upon CardCom
Technology, Inc. alleging infringement on its patent. During September 2003,
as
a result of a settlement of a patent infringement suit, the Company granted
CardCom Technology, Inc. a three year royalty license to use certain of the
Company’s patents in connection with the manufacture, use and sale of CardCom’s
age verification products in the United States and Canada. It also provides
that
CardCom will pay royalties of approximately 10% on its net sales. For the
years
ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company received $67,113, $58,480
and $28,503, respectively, in royalty fees pursuant to this agreement. Effective
March 12, 2006, the Company renewed the licensing agreement with CardCom
for an
additional five years. We also filed a patent infringement lawsuit against
Tricom Card Technologies, Inc. in July 2003, which is currently being litigated.
Employment
Agreements
Effective
January 1, 2006, we entered into a letter of understanding with our Chairman
and
Chief Executive Officer that provides for an annual base salary of $255,604.
In
addition, on November 8, 2005, we granted to Mr. Mandelbaum an option to
purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.22 per
share.
We also agreed to provide a severance arrangement that in such case that
we were
to terminate Mr. Mandelbaum for any reason other than cause we would pay
Mr.
Mandelbaum 2 years of his annual cash base salary in 12 equal monthly
installments.
On
November 10, 2006, the Board of Directors increased Mr. Mandelbaum’s annual base
salary to $264,000 effective January 1, 2007. On November 16, 2006, the Company
also granted to Mr. Mandelbaum an option to purchase 25,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
If
there shall occur a change of control, as defined in the agreement, Mr.
Mandelbaum may terminate his employment at any time and be entitled to receive
a
payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation, including bonuses,
during the three years preceding the date of termination, payable in cash
to the
extent of three months salary and the balance in shares of our common stock
based on a valuation of $2.00 per share.
On
November 10, 2006, the Company entered into a letter of understanding with
its
Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Winiarz, which provided for an annual base salary
of $175,000. This agreement became effective on January 1, 2007. Mr. Winiarz’
previous employment contract terminated on December 31, 2006. On November
16,
2006, the Company also granted to Mr. Winiarz an option to purchase 25,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Mr. Winiarz
would have been eligible to receive a bonus upon Intelli-Check achieving
certain
financial targets. The Company agreed in the letter of understanding, that
if it
were to terminate Mr. Winiarz for any reason other than cause, it would pay
Mr.
Winiarz two (2) years of base salary in twelve (12) equal monthly installments.
Mr. Winiarz resigned his position with the Company on January 21, 2007 and
his
letter of understanding terminated.

January 21, 2004, the Company entered into a one year agreement with Alexandros
Partners LLC to act as consultants in advising the Company in financial and
investor relation matters. The Company agreed to pay a consulting fee of
$50,000
payable in 12 equal monthly installments. In addition, the Company issued
a
warrant granting the right to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock at a purchase price of $7.54 per share, which vested ratably over the
12
month period. A principal of Alexandros Partners LLC was a member of the
Company’s Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company renewed its
agreement with Alexandros Partners LLC for an additional year and paid a
consulting fee of $50,000 in 12 equal monthly installments. This
transaction was approved by all of the independent directors of the Company’s
Board of Directors. The
agreement terminated on December 31, 2005.
On
December 7, 2004, the Company entered into a one year agreement with a
consulting firm to help with its investor relations activities. The Company
paid
a consulting fee of $100,000 in 12 monthly installments. In addition, the
Company issued 11,500 restricted shares of its common stock. On
August 6, 2005, the Company terminated the agreement and ceased payment under
the agreement.
On
November 2, 2004, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with an
investment banking firm for the purpose of investigating the opportunities
in
raising additional capital for the Company. On May 3, 2005, the Company
terminated the agreement eliminating the provision of exclusivity and signed
an
exclusive agreement with another investment banking firm as a lead placement
agent in connection with the private placement described in Note 8 above.
On
September 21, 2005, the Company entered into a two (2) year agreement with
a
consulting firm to help with our public and investor relations activities.
The
Company agreed to pay $6,000 per month for the first 12 months of the agreement
and $9,000 per month for the following 12 months. In addition, the Company
issued a warrant granting the right to purchase 100,000 shares of our common
stock at a purchase price of $4.62 per share, which vested ratably over the
twelve month period after signing. All warrants are currently vested. The
fair
value of this warrant amounted to $318,221 using the Black-Scholes valuation
method and was recorded in Deferred Compensation during the third quarter
of
2005. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company recorded
an
expense of approximately $71,000 and $186,000, respectively. The contract
was
cancelable after the first year under certain terms and conditions. We
renegotiated the terms of the Agreement at the end of the twelve month period
and currently pay $6,000 per month for the services. No underwriting discounts
or commissions were paid with respect to such securities. Such securities
were
issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2)
of
the Securities Act as they were issued to accredited investors.
Legal
Proceedings
On
August
1, 2003, we filed a summons and complaint against Tricom Card Technologies,
Inc.
alleging infringement on our patent and seeking injunctive and monetary
relief. On October 23, 2003, we amended our complaint to include
infringement on an additional patent. On May 18, 2004, we filed a Second
Amended Complaint alleging infringement and inducement to infringe against
certain principals of Tricom in their personal capacities, as well as alleging
in the alternative false advertising claims under the Lanham Act against
all the
defendants. The principals moved to dismiss the claims against them, and
Tricom moved to dismiss the false advertising claims, which motions have
been
administratively terminated by the Court. On August 1, 2005, defendants
filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Second Amended Complaint
and
Tricom filed a declaratory counterclaim. On November 2, 2005, the Court
allowed Tricom to plead two additional defenses and declaratory counterclaims
in
the case, and on January 3, 2006, the parties filed a Stipulation of Dismissal
of the Estoppel and Unenforceability Counterclaims and Affirmative
Defenses. On February 28, 2006, the parties filed a Supplemental Proposed
Joint Pretrial Order, and on March 1, 2006, the Court certified that fact
discovery in this action was complete. On
June 29, 2006, the Court held a pre-motion conference at our request to discuss
our proposed motion to disqualify defendants' counsel for a conflict of
interest. Pursuant to the Court's order, we served moving papers upon
defendants on July 14, 2006 and defendants served opposition to the motion
on
around July 28, 2006. We served a reply to the opposition on August 11,
2006 and filed the motion with the Court. Also, on or about July 21, 2006,
defendants filed with the Court a motion for claim construction together
with
our opposition to defendants' motion and defendants' reply to the
opposition. The Court has not scheduled a hearing date for either motion
and there is no trial date pending.

The
sum of the net loss per share for each of the quarters of fiscal
2005
exceeds by $0.01 the basic loss per share for fiscal 2005 in total
due to
the impact of stock issuances on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.

We
have
not experienced seasonality in our sales volume or operating
