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.
|
Recent
Developments
On
November 20, 2007, we and Mobilisa, Inc.(“Mobilisa”), a private company that is
a leader in identity systems and mobile and wireless technologies, entered
into
a merger agreement pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary would merger
with and into Mobilisa, resulting in Mobilisa becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary. At a special meeting of stockholders held on March 14, 2008, our
stockholders voted to approve the merger, as well as to amend Intelli-Check’s
certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock
and to increase the number of shares issuable under our 2006 Equity Incentive
Plan. Our corporation was renamed Intelli-Check-Mobilisa, Inc. The headquarters
of Intelli-Check was moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend,
Washington.
The
former shareholders of Mobilisa received a number of shares of Intelli-Check
common stock such that they own 50% of Intelli-Check’s common stock and
approximately 50% of the total outstanding derivative securities post-merger.
The aggregate value of the purchase consideration is equal to $50,722,000,
based
on the closing price of our common stock on November 20, 2007.
We
intend
to account for the transaction under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Under this accounting method, we will
record as our cost, the assets of Mobilisa, less the liabilities assumed, with
the excess of such cost over the estimated fair value of such net assets
reflected as goodwill. Additionally, certain costs directly related to the
transaction will be reflected as additional purchase price in excess of net
assets acquired. Our results of operations will include the operations of
Mobilisa after March 14, 2008. As of December 31, 2007, we had incurred $208,000
in connection with the acquisition of Mobilisa, reflected on the balance sheet
as Deferred Acquisition Costs.

Mobilisa,
Inc.
was
incorporated in the state of Washington in March 2001. Mobilisa was designated
as a woman- and veteran-owned, small business. Mobilisa’s headquarters in Port
Townsend, Washington are located in a Historically Underutilized Business Zone
("HUBZone"). Mobilisa specializes in custom software development for mobile
and
wireless devices and Wireless Over Water (“WOW”) technology implementation and
is comprised of two business units—ID systems and wireless technologies—designed
to address the following issues:
·
|
Access
Control: Mobilisa’s Defense ID ®
system is designed to increase security at access points manned by
law
enforcement and military personnel
|
·
|
Marine
Environment Communications: Mobilisa’s WOW technology allows for instant
communication between multiple points, both on land and at sea, across
wide, over-water expanses and optimizes performance by taking into
account
sea state and Fresnel zones (Fresnel zones result from obstructions
in the
path of radio waves and impact the signal strength of radio
transmissions). Mobilisa is currently developing Floating Area Network
(“FAN”) and Littoral Sensor Grid technology as the next evolutionary step
in marine communications
|
·
|
Network
Design: Mobilisa’s AIRchitect™ tool designs optimum wireless networks
based on user parameters and location
architecture.
|
Mobilisa
also derives its revenue from selling handheld communication devices with
patent-pending software which allows users to send various, forms of
identification and compare it to information on databases. A key component
of
Mobilisa’s business strategy is its commitment to cutting-edge research and
development in both ID systems and advanced applications of wireless
technologies.
For
purposes of this report, the terms Intelli-Check, Inc. (“Intelli-Check”, “we”,
“our” or “the Company”) refers to the business prior to the acquisition of
Mobilisa, Including the Financial Statements and Schedule II included in Part
IV, Item 15.
INFORMATION
ABOUT INTELLI-CHECK
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.
5
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.
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.
6
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 it is likely 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.
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.
7
ICARUS
We
developed an automated remote update system that customers can use to
automatically download and install updates. This product is currently being
used
in instant credit kiosk applications.
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 driver 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.
8
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;
|
·
|
improperly
boarding airplanes;
|
·
|
committing
credit card, debit card and check cashing fraud;
|
·
|
unlawfully
obtaining welfare or other government benefits;
|
·
|
committing
refund fraud,
|
·
|
committing
pharmacy fraud, including false narcotic prescriptions,
|
·
|
gaining
entrance to high profile buildings and sensitive infrastructures,
such as
nuclear facilities;
|
·
|
illegally
purchasing firearms;
|
·
|
purchasing
age restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco while under age;
|
·
|
committing
employee fraud, including employee theft and payroll theft;
and
|
·
|
engaging
in medical fraud.
|
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
|
9
·
|
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 verification 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
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 that can accurately read
the electronically stored information. We target the markets that would most
benefit from our systems and software.
We
also
market 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.
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;
|
·
|
Trade
publications;
|
·
|
Trade
shows;
|
·
|
Paid
keyword searches;
|
·
|
Web
seminars, as well as our own
website;
|
·
|
Various
conventions and industry specific
seminars.
|
12
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.
The agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms on December
31
of each year pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. 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.
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 its 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.
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, 2007, total fees
payable under this agreement amounted to less than $1,000.

INFORMATION
ABOUT MOBILISA
Mobilisa’s
Products and Projects
Defense
ID®
Mobilisa’s
Defense ID®
system
offers law enforcement personnel and military security officers additional
information for protecting their facilities. The Defense ID®
System
uses rugged, handheld, mobile devices to read barcodes, magnetic stripes, RFID
(radio frequency identification) and OCR (optical character recognition) codes
printed on current forms of identification cards. By scanning and comparing
the
information contained on the ID card to over 140 databases, Defense
ID®
can
immediately determine if the card has been reported lost or stolen, the
individual’s identity information matches watch lists or law enforcement
databases, or if they are on an authorized roster of previously-cleared
personnel.
Background
on Identification
Driver
Licenses.
State-issued driver licenses are the most widely used form of government-issued
photo identification. The Real ID Act, which became federal law in
May 2005, imposed standards for the issuance, data content, and acceptance
of state-issued driver licenses. When the act is fully implemented,
non-compliant driver licenses may not be accepted by any federal agency for
any
official purpose. The Real ID Act contemplates the inclusion of machine-readable
technology, which is already included on many driver licenses, on all compliant
licenses. The Defense ID®
system
is capable of reading all machine-readable technologies currently in
use.
Other
Identification Cards.
Since
some 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 ID cards and passports, are used
in
the same way as driver licenses as proof of identification. Presently, the
Mobilisa Defense ID®
system
can also read all information encoded on these forms of identification.
State-issued identification cards issued in lieu of driver licenses are also
covered by some provisions of the Real ID Act.
Databases.
There
are numerous state and federal law enforcement databases containing information
that may be critical to security and law enforcement officers. Historically,
officers in the field have had limited access to such information, which greatly
reduces the value of accurate identification. The Defense ID®
system
links information contained on readable forms of identification with information
compiled from more than 140 different law enforcement databases. An individual
using the system can immediately check the validity of the identification card
and has instant access to key information concerning, among other things,
outstanding wants and warrants.
Current
Challenges Associated with Access Control
Secure
facilities routinely rely on entry point identification checks as an important
security measure. The most common verification performed at entry points is
a
visual check of identification cards presented by individuals attempting to
access the facility. Entry point controls are used in a wide variety of
settings, including military base entrances, airports, and commercial
buildings.
There
are
many challenges associated with visual checks on identification cards. Because
of the numerous forms of identification accepted, including driver licenses,
military IDs, passports, base-specific badges, and vendor and visitor badges,
it
is virtually impossible for security officers to memorize each individual format
and to distinguish fake forms of identification. Because identification cards
vary greatly in their format, security officers waste precious time searching
for pertinent information on the identification card, which causes unnecessary
delays and resulting expense.
With
a
visual check, even though a security officer may be able to quickly determine
if
a card is expired, the security officer has no way of knowing whether the
individual, even if properly identified, should be granted access. The officer
typically cannot quickly review multiple no-access lists, confirm that the
individual does not have a law enforcement or warrant, or determine if the
identification card has been reported lost or stolen. As an additional
frustration, there are no readily-accessible common databases that compile
all
of this shared information.
14
By
using
the Mobilisa Defense ID®
system,
security officers have the ability to instantly view the machine-readable
information contained in the identification card’s barcode or magnetic stripe.
This information is then immediately checked against over 140 law enforcement
databases and the system alerts the guard if the individual matches anyone
in
any of the databases. This greatly increases efficiency and gives the security
officer real-time access to critical information, enabling the security officer
to make an on-the-spot determination relating to access with increased speed
and
confidence in accuracy.
Defense
ID® Solutions
and Benefits
The
Mobilisa Defense ID®
system
offers invaluable tools to users enabling them to increase safety and monitor
the security of their installations. As an access control system, it offers
instant checks of those individuals attempting to gain access and alerts the
security or law enforcement officer if that check raises any
suspicions.
Mobilisa
Defense ID®
works as
a complete system that cuts down costs and implementation time by using cards
already in existence as opposed to manufacturing and issuing new identification
cards to each individual who wishes to access an installation. For ease of
use
and adaptability, Mobilisa offers this solution in multiple form factors.

Wireless
Mobilisa
creates custom wireless solutions for all types of industries. The Company
provides a complete range of services, including consultation, custom wireless
software, wireless infrastructure installation, wireless LAN security
evaluation, and advanced research and development.
WOW
Mobilisa’s
Wireless on Water (“WOW”) technology, based on IEEE 802.11 standards, uses a mix
of terrestrial-based RF band radio and antenna hardware in conjunction with
advanced optimization techniques to provide reliable, high speed wireless access
coverage for constantly moving watercraft within a local waterway. The
technology has been successfully implemented on the Washington State Ferries
and
the British Columbia Ferry System in British Columbia, Canada and is suited
for
other terrestrial forms of transportation including rail, bus and automobile
applications.
AIRchitect™
Mobilisa’s
AIRchitect™ is a tool to aid in the design of optimal wireless networks. It can
be used for marine vessels, hangars, office buildings or outdoor facilities.
The
software uses imported structural drawings and other user input to calculate
and
display the optimal wireless network based on coverage, signal spill-over,
bandwidth, interference, cost and security. AIRchitect™ eliminates the trial and
error survey method commonly used in the design of wireless networks and, as
a
result, users realize a significant life-cycle cost reduction and an increase
in
network efficiency.
15
FAN
The
Mobilisa Floating Area Network (“FAN”) project created a Line of Sight (“LOS”),
high-speed, wireless mesh-type network for use in marine and, in particular,
naval applications. Currently, ships in a naval battle group rely on satellite
communication to communicate both with one another and with shore facilities.
However, the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth in naval communications taxes
existing satellite communications systems and can result in slow and unreliable
communication.
FAN
uses
advanced WOW technology based on IEEE 802.11 standards. FAN creates an ad hoc
network between vessels operating within line of sight of one another that
can
be used for, among things, data exchange, VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
and video teleconferencing. FAN removes ship-to-ship communication within a
battle group from the satellite network thereby freeing up valuable bandwidth
for ship-to-shore communications. In addition, smaller vessels with less
ship-to-shore bandwidth can share the greater capabilities of the larger
platforms. The system design allows ships to join and leave the network as
they
come within communication range, while continuously adjusting for local
conditions and ship movement.
FAN
is
currently in the approved prototype stage with the U.S. Navy. In addition to
U.S. battle group applications, FAN technology provides a lower-cost method
of
integrating multinational naval forces. It also has many potential commercial
applications such as port security, shipping coordination and commercial fishing
fleet operations.
Littoral
Sensor Grid
Mobilisa
is developing a wireless buoy network using a variety of wireless technologies,
sensors and instruments that will enable buoys to communicate near real-time
data between other buoys and shore for environmental monitoring, analysis and
security applications. Currently, most sensor buoys rely on VHF radio
transmissions to transmit collected data back to shore facilities. The low
bandwidth of VHF limits both the type and quantity of data that can be collected
by the buoys and the ability to access the data in real time.
The
Littoral Sensor Grid leverages Mobilisa’s WOW technology to extend wireless
technology into a low-level, height-of-eye, littoral environment ideal for
use
on buoys. Mobilisa’s ongoing research and development efforts related to the
Littoral Sensor Grid must consider the impact of Fresnel zones, reflectivity
and
line of sight limitations in the use of directional antennas and other advanced
wireless technology to create a working wireless local area network for buoys
within each other’s line of sight. The range of the network will depend on the
height above water of the antennas atop the buoys, the physics related to
propagation near water of radio waves and the ability to switch between several
highly directional antennas that operate within FCC guidelines. Mobilisa
anticipates that such a system will enable the buoys to communicate at ranges
of
up to 5 miles apart.
Because
the sensor buoys can be equipped with a variety of different types of sensors,
Mobilisa envisions a wide variety of uses for the Littoral Sensor Grid. The
possible sensor capabilities of this buoy network include wireless connectivity
and networking, environmental data collection, mobile and configurable
surveillance packages, TIS/VIS (Thermal Imaging System/Visual Imaging
System), radar and sonar. The Littoral Sensor Grid may be used to gather
near real-time sea and weather conditions, to gather environmental data that
will enable scientists to monitor changing conditions in littoral waters and
to
enhance port security as a component in the layered harbor defense concept.
The
wireless network capabilities of the Littoral Sensor Grid may also be used
to
extend the capabilities of a FAN.
Strategy
Mobilisa’s
objective is to become a leading provider of enhanced security access systems
and to continue to enhance its role as a leading provider and innovator of
wireless technologies for the military.
Product
Enhancement
Due
to
the success of Defense ID ®
in the
military and government markets, Mobilisa intends to enhance its product line
to
support other entities such as law enforcement, port security and commercial
installations. Mobilisa continues its ongoing efforts to research and implement
the use of new identification cards, additional databases and upgraded equipment
form factors in order to increase the efficiency and performance of the
system.
16
Strengthen
Sales and Marketing Efforts
As
the
need for access control systems continues to grow, Mobilisa’s experienced sales
and marketing departments must adjust to target new markets. Sales and marketing
materials are specially designed to clearly outline the capabilities of the
system and how it is valuable to each of these specific markets. Mobilisa has
sales staff on the West Coast, Midwest and East Coast, which allows a quick
response to questions and personalized assistance for each customer based on
location. In the future, Mobilisa’s experience in marketing the Defense ID
®
system
will provide the foundation to successfully market new products and
technologies, such as FAN and the Littoral Sensor Grid, as they become ready
for
application in the military, government, and commercial sectors.
Additional
Access to Multiple Databases
Mobilisa
continues to increase the data source information accessed through its Defense
ID ®
system.
This is achieved by increasing the capabilities of its internally-developed
scraping programs for publicly-available information as well as by negotiating
additional data source agreements with various law enforcement and government
agencies. In addition to these general databases, Mobilisa customizes databases
for each individual customer based on information provided by the
customer.
Protect
Intellectual Property
Mobilisa
intends to continue to protect its intellectual property in order to retain
its
value and unique products. As discussed below, Mobilisa currently has three
pending patents:
·
|
Dynamic
Identity Matching in Response to Threat
Levels;
|
·
|
Aggregation
in Persons-of-Interest Information for Use in an Identification System;
and
|
·
|
Dynamic
Access Control in Response to Flexible
Rules
|
Mobilisa
intends to apply for patents as products and technology mature and challenge
any
attempt to infringe its patent rights. Where appropriate, Mobilisa will also
utilize trade secret, copyright, trademark and similar laws to protect its
intellectual property.
Research
and Development
Mobilisa
intends to pursue research and development projects through funding from various
government agencies, and its current classification as a woman-owned,
veteran-owned, small business located in a HUBZone has allowed it to receive
several specialized grants for research and development work in the wireless
and
security arenas. Jefferson County, Washington, where Port Townsend is located,
has been designated as a HUBZone until the year 2010. As long as combined
company maintains its headquarters in Jefferson County, Washington and one-third
of the total number of employees live in the designated HUBZone area, the
combined company will maintain its HUBZone status.
The
Company enjoys an excellent relationship with its current customers and
continues to get funded for additional research and development work stemming
from projects already completed or in process. Mobilisa will continue to work
with these customers to determine how best to continue to create innovative
solutions that meet customers’ changing technological needs. For example,
Mobilisa’s current research and development efforts in FAN and in the Littoral
Sensor Grid have the potential of revolutionizing ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore
communications. The U.S. Navy, as well as other agencies and commercial
customers, will greatly benefit from the successful development of these
technologies.

Target
Markets
Defense
ID®
Mobilisa’s
Defense ID®
system
is tailored to locations that validate identification cards as a means of
access. Historically, the military market has been Mobilisa’s primary focus,
followed closely by the law enforcement market. Military bases are an ideal
location for the use of the Defense ID®
system
because individual ID cards are checked prior to allowing base access and,
in
most cases, bases issue visitor/vendor passes to individuals needing access
that
do not possess a military ID.
Because
Defense ID®
is
customizable, it can be used in many different environments. The information
provided via instant access to multiple law enforcement databases proves
invaluable to gate officers and law enforcement personnel ensuring the security
of a facility. Current target markets include:

Defense
ID®
Mobilisa
has market-specific brochures for each product in its product line for both
the
military and law enforcement sectors that the sales force utilizes when
demonstrating the Defense ID®
system
to potential customers. These brochures serve as a quick reference guide
outlining the capabilities of Mobilisa’s technology. Once customers have a clear
understanding of Mobilisa’s products, they can use these brochures to discuss
their individual needs and ordering requirements.
When
dealing with military and government entities, Mobilisa must comply with
applicable procurement regulations. As a woman-owned, veteran-owned small
business in a HUBzone, Mobilisa has a considerable advantage in the procurement
process. These designations allow Mobilisa to quickly be awarded sole source
contracts with the military and government. Since Intelli-Check’s headquarters
will be moved to Mobilisa’s headquarters in Port Townsend, WA, the HUBZone
designation will remain in place and Mobilisa anticipates that the combined
entity will continue to meet the Small Business Administration’s definition of a
“small business.”
In
addition to sole source awards, Mobilisa also responds to Requests for Proposal
(“RFPs”) and Requests for Qualifications (“RFQs”) when their technological
capabilities meet that of the desired system. In many cases, Mobilisa is the
only company that is able to meet the requirements in the RFP, which can lead
to
a quick and easy award.
Also,
Mobilisa has all Defense ID®
products, as well as individual labor services, listed on GSA Schedule 70.
This
makes it possible for government entities to make direct purchases of equipment
and services for a pre-negotiated price without competition.
Mobilisa
has offices in the West (Port Townsend, WA), the Midwest (Dayton, OH), and
the
East (Alexandria, VA) to fully support its current and potential customers.
This
makes it easy to schedule and complete installations and maintenance in an
efficient, time-conscious manner.
Wireless
Marketing
for Mobilisa’s wireless products and capabilities is performed primarily via the
Mobilisa website and tradeshow exhibitions. Mobilisa attends market-specific
tradeshows to demonstrate current products and capabilities. Mobilisa prides
itself on being an innovative solutions provider and this is a prime arena
for
showcasing the Company’s talents and for interfacing with potential customers
who can benefit from Mobilisa’s wireless solutions.
Many
of
Mobilisa’s potential wireless customers contact the company after seeing
publicity about current wireless projects. Mobilisa’s wireless systems have
garnered both local and national publicity, which has been highly beneficial
in
projecting to the public the Company’s capabilities.
19
Competition
Defense
ID®
Mobilisa
competes in a market that is relatively new, intensely competitive and rapidly
changing. Unless a device can read, decode and analyze all of the
electronically-stored information that is legally permitted to be analyzed
from
an identification card, the user may not obtain accurate and reliable
confirmation that a identification card is valid and has not been altered.
There
are several companies, including Eid Passport, L-1 Identity Solutions, and
Core
Street, that are currently offering products that compete with the Defense
ID®
system.
Wireless
Mobilisa
develops and applies WOW technology and believes that its Floating Area Network
and Littoral Sensor Grid projects will enhance the Company’s standing with its
potential customers in the wireless industry. Several competitors have developed
technology that may compete with Mobilisa’s products. These include EFJ, Inc.,
Sea-Mobile, and Motorola. In addition, other defense or wireless companies
may
be developing technology that will compete with Mobilisa’s current products or
with the projects and products that are currently in research and
development.
Manufacturing
All
Mobilisa products are created with commercial off the shelf (“COTS”) items that
Mobilisa personally customizes with software and specialized configurations.
All
products are customized, assembled, and tested in-house and then installed
and
placed by Mobilisa employees in the field.
Intellectual
Property
Mobilisa
has pending the following patent applications:
Utility
application entitled DYNAMIC IDENTITY MATCHING IN RESPONSE TO THREAT LEVELS.
This patent is for a dynamic identity matching system that enables a person
to
determine the status of an individual based on identification information
contained in a record provided by the individual. An operator scans the
individual’s identification and the system, using a name match algorithm and
generates a candidate score. Based on current security conditions, the system
will display some or all of name or identity-match results. In addition, the
system will rank results from highest score (BOLO violent terrorist based on
direct id number match) to lowest score (EAL authorized).
Provisional
application entitled AGGREGATION OF PERSONS-OF-INTEREST INFORMATION FOR USE
IN
AN IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM. This patent is for a software and/or hardware facility
that gathers Person of Interest (“POI”) information from public databases
maintained by the FBI, U.S. Customs Enforcement, U.S. Secret Service, U.S.
Drug
Enforcement Agency, Interpol, U.S. Postal Service, State law enforcement
agencies, Attorney General’s Office, and various military departments. The
system scans information and uses structural semantic and syntax to determine
whether the data is in a form that the system recognizes. The system next
converts POI information into a common format for use in aggregating information
with the other scanned databases. The system reconciles received data with
previously-stored data to ensure that duplicate entries do not exist for
identical or similar individuals.
Provisional
application entitled a DYNAMIC ACCESS CONTROL IN RESPONSE TO FLEXIBLE RULES.
This patent is for a dynamic access control facility that enables an operator
to
determine whether to grant or deny facility access to an individual based,
in
part, on the status of the individual. The operator scans the individual's
identification information from the identification record using a scanning
device. To determine the status of the individual, the facility decodes the
scanned identification information and identifies candidates based on the
decoded identification information. For each authorized candidate, the facility
selects for display the locations or resources that the candidate is authorized
to access. When there is at least one candidate, the facility displays the
selected candidate(s) to the operator indicating the status of the individual
and/or whether access should be denied or granted.
20

FACTORS
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
Risks
Related to Intelli-Check’s Business
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 $2,673,218 and $2,879,970 for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively and our accumulated
deficit was $44,661,070 as of December 31, 2007. 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.
21
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.
|
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.
22
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.
|
23
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 15, 2008, 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.
We
incur significant accounting and other control costs that impact our financial
condition
As
a
publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory
requirements. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if
controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional
expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Some of our competitors
are privately owned so their accounting and control costs can be a competitive
disadvantage for us. Should our sales decline or if we are unsuccessful at
increasing prices to cover higher expenditures for internal controls and audits,
our costs associated with regulatory compliance will rise as a percentage of
sales.
Risks
related to Mobilisa’s Business
Currently,
Mobilisa derives
a significant portion of its revenue from government R&D (Research and
Development) contracts, which are often non-standard, involve competitive
bidding, may be subject to cancellation and may produce volatility in earnings
and revenue.
In
the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, Mobilisa derived 40.2% and 48.3% of
its
revenue respectively from government R&D contracts. These government
contracts often include provisions that substantially differ from those found
in
typical private commercial transactions. For instance, government contracts
may:
§
|
include
provisions that allow the agency, in certain circumstances, to terminate
the contract without penalty;
|
24
·
|
be
subject to purchasing decisions by agencies that are subject to political
influence;
|
·
|
include
bonding requirements;
|
·
|
contain
comprehensive procurement provisions that require Mobilisa to expend
substantial resources in pursuing the
contract
|
·
|
specify
performance criteria that Mobilisa must satisfy before the customer
accepts the products and services;
and
|
·
|
be
subject to cancellation or reduction if funding is reduced or becomes
unavailable
|
Securing
government contracts typically involves a lengthy competitive bidding process.
Often, unsuccessful bidders have the ability to challenge contract awards.
Such
challenges may increase costs, result in delays and risk the loss of the
contract by the winning bidder. Protests or other delays related to material
government contracts that may be awarded to Mobilisa could result in revenue
volatility. State and local government agency contracts may depend on the
availability of matching funds from federal, state or local entities. State
and
local government agencies are subject to political, budgetary, purchasing and
delivery constraints that may result in irregular revenue and operating results.
Revenue volatility makes management of Mobilisa’s business difficult. Outright
loss of any material government contract through the protest process or
otherwise, could significantly reduce Mobilisa’s revenues.
Mobilisa
has been granted contracts based on its status as a small business in a HUBZone
and, in the future, Mobilisa may not continue to meet the qualifications for
such status.
At
times,
Mobilisa has been granted government contracts in part due to its status as
a
small business in a HUBZone. There is a possibility that, due to future growth,
Mobilisa will no longer meet the Small Business Administration’s definition of a
“small business”, that Port Townsend, WA will no longer be designated a HUBZone,
or that Mobilisa will relocate all or a portion of its operations outside of
a
HUBZone. If any of these things were to happen, Mobilisa may be at a
disadvantage when competing for future government contracts, which may in turn
reduce Mobilisa’s revenue.
Mobilisa’s
business strategy exposes it to long sales and implementation cycles for its
products.
Historically,
Mobilisa’s primary target customers have been government agencies and branches
of the United States military, both of which require long sales and
implementation cycles for products, which may result in a long period of time
prior to revenue realization. The loss or significant reduction in government
spending could limit Mobilisa’s ability to obtain government contracts. These
limitations, if significant, could significantly reduce Mobilisa’s revenues.
Mobilisa will need to develop additional strategic relationships with large
government contractors in order to successfully compete for government
contracts. Should Mobilisa lose or fail to develop these strategic
relationships, it may not be able to implement its business strategy.
Mobilisa
cannot be certain that its backlog estimates will result in actual revenues
in
any particular fiscal period because its clients may modify or terminate
projects or may decide not to exercise contract options.
Mobilisa’s
backlog represents sales value of firm orders for products and services not
yet
delivered and, for long-term, executed contractual arrangements (contracts,
subcontract and customer commitments), the estimated future sales value of
product shipments, transactions processed and services to be provided over
the
term of the contractual arrangements, including anticipated renewal options.
For
contracts with indefinite quantities, Mobilisa’s backlog is estimated based on
current activity levels. Its backlog includes estimates of revenues, the receipt
of which require future government appropriations, depend on option exercise
by
clients or are subject to contract modification or termination. At December
31,
2007, Mobilisa’s backlog approximated $11.4 million, $3.0 million of which is
estimated to be realized in the next twelve months. These estimates are based
on
Mobilisa’s experience under such contracts and similar contracts, and it
believes that such estimates are reasonable. If Mobilisa does not realize a
substantial amount of its backlog, its operations could be harmed and future
revenues could be significantly reduced.
25
The
market for Mobilisa’s products is evolving and its growth is
uncertain.
Demand
and market acceptance for recently introduced and existing products and sales
from such products are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk.
Mobilisa’s business may suffer if the market for those products develops more
slowly than anticipated or if products do not obtain market
acceptance.
Failure
to manage Mobilisa’s operations if they expand could impair future
growth.
If
Mobilisa is able to expand its operations, particularly through multiple sales
to government agencies, the expansion will place significant strain on its
existing management, financial controls, operating systems, personnel and other
resources. Mobilisa’s ability to manage future growth, should it occur, will
depend to a large extent upon several factors, including its ability to do
the
following:
·
|
build
and train its 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.
|
If
Mobilisa is able to grow its business, but does not manage growth successfully,
it may experience increased operating expenses, loss of customers, distributors
or suppliers and declining or slowed growth of revenues.
Long
lead times for the components used in certain products creates uncertainty
in
Mobilisa’s supply chain and may result in Mobilisa taking a write-down for
obsolete inventory or prevent it from making required deliveries to its
customers on time.
Mobilisa
relies exclusively on commercial off-the-shelf technology in manufacturing
its
products. The lead-time for ordering certain components used in its products
and
for the production of products can be lengthy. As a result, Mobilisa must, from
time to time, order products based on forecasted demand. If demand for products
lags significantly behind forecasts, Mobilisa may purchase more product than
it
can sell, which may result in write-downs of obsolete or excess inventory.
Conversely, if demand exceeds forecasts, Mobilisa may not have enough product
to
meet its obligations to its customers.
Mobilisa
relies on commercial off-the-shelf technology to provide hardware
products.
Although
Mobilisa believes that it can find alternative sources for hardware, any
disruption in Mobilisa’s ability to obtain required hardware could result in
delaying deliveries or in the loss of sales. Loss of suppliers may result in
delays or additional expenses, and Mobilisa may not be able to meet its
obligations to its customers.
Mobilisa
obtains certain hardware and services, as well as some software applications,
from a limited group of suppliers, and its reliance on these suppliers involves
significant risks, including reduced control over quality and delivery
schedules.
Any
financial instability of Mobilisa's suppliers could result in having to find
new
suppliers. Mobilisa may experience significant delays in manufacturing and
deliveries of products and services to customers if it loses its sources or
if
supplies and services delivered from these sources are delayed. As a result,
Mobilisa may be required to incur additional development, manufacturing and
other costs to establish alternative supply sources. It may take several months
to locate alternative suppliers, if required. Mobilisa cannot predict whether
it
will be able to obtain replacement hardware within the required time frames
at
affordable costs, or at all. Any delays resulting from suppliers failing to
deliver hardware or delays in obtaining alternative hardware, in sufficient
quantities and of sufficient quality, or any significant increase in the cost
of
hardware from existing or alternative suppliers could result in delays on the
shipment of product which, in turn, could result in the loss of customers it
may
not be able to successfully complete.
26
Mobilisa’s
Defense ID®
system relies on access to databases run by various government agencies. If
these governmental agencies were to stop sharing data with Mobilisa, the utility
of the Defense ID ®
system would be diminished and business would be damaged.
Currently,
Mobilisa’s Defense ID®
system
accesses over 140 separate databases run by various government and law
enforcement agencies. Mobilisa cannot be assured that each of these agencies
will continue to cooperate with it. In the event that one or more of these
agencies does not continue to provide access to these databases, the utility
of
the Defense ID ®
system
may be diminished.
Mobilisa’s
Defense ID®
system manages private personal information and information related to sensitive
government functions, and a breach of the security systems protecting such
information may result in a loss of suppliers or customers or result in
litigation.
The
protective security measures designed to protect sensitive information and
contained in Mobilisa’s products may not prevent all security breaches. Failure
to prevent security breaches may disrupt Mobilisa’s business, damage its
reputation and expose it to litigation and liability. A party who is able to
circumvent protective security measures used in these systems could
misappropriate sensitive information or cause interruptions or otherwise damage
Mobilisa’s products, services and reputation and the property and privacy of
customers. If unintended parties obtain sensitive data and information, or
create bugs or viruses or otherwise sabotage the functionality of Mobilisa’s
products, Mobilisa may receive negative publicity, incur liability to its
customers or lose the confidence of its customers, any of which may cause the
termination or modification of contracts. Further, Mobilisa’s existing insurance
coverage may be insufficient to cover losses and liabilities that may result
from such events.
In
addition, Mobilisa may be required to expend significant capital and other
resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate
problems caused by the occurrence of any such breaches. However, protective
or
remedial measures may not be available at a reasonable price or at all, or
may
not be entirely effective if commenced.
Future
government regulation restricting the capture of information electronically
stored on identification cards could adversely affect Mobilisa’s
business.
The
Defense ID®
system
is designed to read, verify and capture information from identification cards.
Currently, some jurisdictions have restrictions on what can be done with this
information without consent. Because issues of personal privacy continue to
be a
major topic of public policy debate, it is possible that, in the future, these
or other jurisdictions may introduce similar or additional restrictions on
capturing this information. Therefore, the implementation of unfavorable
regulations or unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations by courts
or
regulatory bodies could require Mobilisa to incur significant compliance costs,
cause the development of the affected markets to become impractical and reduce
revenues and potential revenues.
Mobilisa
is subject to risks associated with product failure and technological
flaws.
Products
as complex as those offered by Mobilisa 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
commercial shipments have commenced. The occurrence of product defects or errors
could result in negative publicity, delays in product introduction, the
diversion of resources to remedy defects and loss of or delay in market
acceptance or claims by customers against Mobilisa and could cause Mobilisa
to
incur additional costs, any one of which could adversely affect business.
Because of the risk of undetected error, Mobilisa may be compelled to accept
liability provisions that vary from its preferred contracting model in certain
critical transactions. There is a risk that in certain contracts and
circumstances Mobilisa may not be successful in adequately minimizing product
and related liabilities or that the protections negotiated will not ultimately
be deemed enforceable.
27
Mobilisa
carries product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate
to cover potential claims. The failure of Mobilisa products to perform as
promised could result in increased costs, lower margins, liquidated damage
payment obligations and harm to Mobilisa’s reputation.
Mobilisa
may not be able to keep up with rapid technological
change.
The
markets for all of Mobilisa’s products are characterized by rapid technological
advancements. Significant technological change could render existing technology
obsolete. If Mobilisa is unable to successfully respond to these developments,
or does not respond in a cost-effective manner, its business, financial
condition and results of operations will be materially adversely
affected.
Failure
to protect its proprietary technology may impair Mobilisa’s competitive
position.
Mobilisa
continues to allocate significant resources to developing new and innovative
technologies that are utilized in its products and systems. Because its
continued success depends on, to a significant degree, Mobilisa’s ability to
offer products providing superior functionality and performance over those
offered by its competitors, Mobilisa considers the protection of its technology
from unauthorized use to be fundamental to its success. This is done by
processes aimed at identifying and seeking appropriate protection for
newly-developed intellectual property, including 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 nondisclosure of proprietary
information;
|
·
|
maintaining
and enforcing issued patents and filing patent applications on innovative
solutions to commercially important
problems;
|
·
|
protecting
trade secrets;
|
·
|
protecting
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 intellectual
property.
|
Mobilisa
may have to litigate to enforce patents or trademarks or to determine the scope
and validity of other parties’ proprietary rights. Litigation could be very
costly and divert management’s attention. An adverse outcome in any litigation
may have a severe negative effect on Mobilisa’s financial results. To determine
the priority of inventions, Mobilisa may have to participate in interference
proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or oppositions
in
foreign patent and trademark offices, which could result in substantial cost
and
limitations on the scope or validity of Mobilisa’s patents or
trademarks.
In
addition, foreign laws treat the protection of proprietary rights differently
from laws in the United States and may not protect proprietary rights to the
same extent as U.S. laws. The failure of foreign laws or judicial systems to
adequately protect Mobilisa’s proprietary rights or intellectual property,
including intellectual property developed on Mobilisa’s behalf by foreign
contractors or subcontractors may have a material adverse effect on Mobilisa’s
business, operations and financial results.
Legal
claims regarding infringement of third-party intellectual property rights by
Mobilisa or its suppliers could result in substantial costs, diversion of
managerial resources and harm to Mobilisa’s reputation.
To
Mobilisa’s knowledge, its current products do not infringe on the intellectual
property rights of any third parties and there are no claims regarding
infringement of third-party intellectual property rights against either it
or
its supplier. If any third party were to bring such an infringement claim
against either Mobilisa or its suppliers, it may result in substantial costs
to
Mobilisa, diversion of Mobilisa’s resources and harm to Mobilisa’s
business.
28
If
Mobilisa’s future products incorporate technologies that infringe the
proprietary rights of third parties and it does not secure licenses from them,
Mobilisa could be liable for substantial damages.
To
Mobilisa’s knowledge, its current products do not infringe the intellectual
property rights of any third parties, and it is not aware of any third-party
intellectual property rights that may hamper Mobilisa’s ability to provide
future products and services. However, Mobilisa recognizes that the development
of services or products may require it to 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 Mobilisa, whether or not they are upheld, such
claims could:
·
|
consume
substantial time and financial
resources;
|
·
|
divert
the attention of management from growing Mobilisa’s business and managing
operations; and
|
·
|
disrupt
product sales and shipments.
|
If
any
third party prevails in an action against Mobilisa for infringement of its
proprietary rights, it could be required to pay damages and either enter into
costly licensing arrangements or redesign its products so as to exclude any
infringing use. As a result, Mobilisa would incur substantial costs; suffer
delays in product development, sales and shipments; revenues may decline
substantially; and Mobilisa may not be able to achieve the minimum, necessary
growth for continued success.
Failure
to attract and retain management and other personnel may damage operations
and
financial results and cause revenue to decline.
Mobilisa
depends, to a significant degree, on the skills, experience and efforts of
executive officers and other key management and of technical, finance, sales
and
other personnel. A failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain existing
or additional personnel could disrupt or otherwise harm Mobilisa’s operations
and financial results. Mobilisa does not carry key employee life insurance
policies covering any employees. The loss of services of certain of key
employees, an inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future,
or delays in hiring additional
personnel could delay the development of Mobilisa’s business and could cause
revenues to decline.
Mobilisa
is currently developing several new systems, including Floating Area Networks
(“FANs”) and Littoral Sensor Grids that rely on government funding for continued
research and development, and the failure to meet project milestones and
development targets could impact that funding.
Mobilisa
anticipates that projects currently in research and development, including
FANs
and Littoral Sensor Grids, will play a critical role in its future growth.
Because these projects are in development and being funded by various government
agencies, Mobilisa has certain ongoing milestones and development targets that
it must meet. If these milestones or development targets are not met, Mobilisa
could lose its research and development funding for these projects. In addition,
even if milestones and development targets are met, there is no guarantee that
the funding agencies will continue to grant the same level of, or any, research
and development funds. Failure to attract research and development funding
adequate to fully fund these projects could result in the termination of those
projects, which could have a significant impact on Mobilisa’s revenue.
Mobilisa
cannot guarantee that projects currently in research and development stage,
including FANs and Littoral Sensor Grids, will result in operational systems
or
prototypes or that such systems or prototypes, if produced, will be commercially
marketable.
Projects
in the research and development stage have not yet been proven operational.
While Mobilisa anticipates that it will be able to produce operational systems
or prototypes based on its research and development, there is no guarantee
that
it will be able to do so. Furthermore, even if Mobilisa’s is able to produce
operational systems or prototypes, there is no guarantee that those systems
or
prototypes will prove commercially marketable.
Risks
of the Combined Company
Because
Intelli-Check does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock, stockholders
will benefit from an investment in Intelli-Check’s Common Stock only if it
appreciates in value.
Intelli-Check
has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its shares of Common Stock.
Post acquisition, Intelli-Check currently intends to retain all future earnings,
if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result,
Intelli-Check does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash
dividends will be at the discretion of Intelli-Check’s Board of Directors and
will depend on factors Intelli-Check’s Board of Directors deems relevant,
including among others, Intelli-Check’s results of operations, financial
condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of
Intelli-Check’s credit facilities and other financing arrangements. Accordingly,
realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will depend on the
appreciation of the price of Intelli-Check’s Common Stock. There is no guarantee
that Intelli-Check’s Common Stock will appreciate in value.
29
Intelli-Check
has had a limited ability to evaluate the target business’
management.
Although
Intelli-Check closely examined the management of Mobilisa, Intelli-Check cannot
provide assurance that its assessment of Mobilisa’s management will prove to be
correct, or that future management will have the necessary skills,
qualifications or abilities to manage its business successfully. Many of the
current members in the management of Mobilisa are now involved with the
management of the combined company and have the ability to affect its day to
day
operations.
Post
acquisition, Intelli-Check's management team will control a substantial interest
in Intelli-Check and thus may influence certain actions requiring a
stockholder vote.
Post-acquisition,
Intelli-Check's management team (including all of
Intelli-Check's directors) will own approximately 52.3% of Intelli-Check's
issued and outstanding common stock, approximately 49.6% of which would be
owned
by Nelson Ludlow and Bonnie Ludlow, Mobilisa’s two primary shareholders. By
owning this many shares, Intelli-Check's management team will be able to
control decisions to be made by Intelli-Check's
stockholders.
Achieving
the benefits of the merger will depend in part on the successful integration
of
Intelli-Check’s and Mobilisa’s operations, products and personnel in a timely
and efficient manner. The integration process requires coordination of different
sales forces, administrative staff and development and engineering teams, and
involves the integration of systems, applications, policies, procedures,
business processes and channel operations. This, too, will be difficult,
unpredictable, and subject to delay because of possible cultural conflicts
and
different opinions on technical decisions and product roadmaps. If Intelli-Check
cannot successfully integrate the operations and personnel of the two companies,
Intelli-Check will not realize the expected benefits of the merger.
Integrating
the companies may divert management’s attention away from
operations.
Successful
integration of Intelli-Check’s and Mobilisa’s operations, products and personnel
may place a significant burden on the management and the internal resources
of
both Intelli-Check and Mobilisa. The diversion of management attention and
any
difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could harm
the business, financial condition and operating results of each of the
companies, and the combined company after completion of the merger.
Intelli-Check
expects to incur significant costs integrating the companies into a single
business, and if such integration is not successful, Intelli-Check may not
realize the expected benefits of the merger.
Intelli-Check
expects to incur significant costs integrating Intelli-Check’s and Mobilisa’s
operations, products and personnel. These costs may include costs
for:
·
|
employee
severance;
|
·
|
conversion
of information systems;
|
·
|
combining
research and development teams and
processes;
|
·
|
relocation
or disposition of excess equipment.
|
30
In
addition, Intelli-Check expects to incur significant transaction costs in
connection with the merger. Intelli-Check does not know whether it will be
successful in these integration efforts or in consummating the merger and cannot
assure its investors that it will realize the expected benefits of the
merger.
If
Intelli-Check fails to retain key employees, the benefits of the merger could
be
diminished.
The
successful combination of Intelli-Check and Mobilisa will depend in part on
the
retention of key personnel. There can be no assurance that Intelli-Check will
be
able to retain its or Mobilisa’s key management, technical, sales and customer
support personnel. If Intelli-Check fails to retain such key employees, it
may
not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.
If
Intelli-Check does not integrate Mobilisa’s products, Intelli-Check may lose
customers and fail to achieve its financial objectives.
Achieving
the benefits of the merger will depend in part on the integration of
Intelli-Check’s and Mobilisa’s products in a timely and efficient manner. In
order for Intelli-Check to provide enhanced and more valuable products to its
customers after the merger, Intelli-Check will need to integrate its product
lines and development organizations with those of Mobilisa. This will be
difficult, unpredictable, and subject to delay because Intelli-Check’s and
Mobilisa’s products are highly complex, have been developed independently and
were designed without regard to such integration. If Intelli-Check cannot
successfully integrate Mobilisa’s products and continue to provide customers
with products and new product features in the future on a timely basis,
Intelli-Check may lose customers and its business and results of operations
may
be harmed.
The
customers of Intelli-Check and Mobilisa may not continue their current buying
patterns following, the merger. Any significant delay or reduction in orders
for
Intelli-Check’s or Mobilisa’s products could harm the combined company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations. Customers may defer
purchasing decisions as they evaluate the likelihood of successful integration
of Intelli-Check’s and Mobilisa’s products and the combined company’s future
product strategy, or consider purchasing products of competitors. Customers
may
also seek to modify or terminate existing agreements, or prospective customers
may delay entering into new agreements or purchasing products. In addition,
by
increasing the breadth of Intelli-Check’s and Mobilisa’s business, the merger
may make it more difficult for the combined company to enter into or maintain
relationships, including customer relationships, with suppliers or strategic
partners, some of whom may view the combined company as a more direct competitor
than either Intelli-Check or Mobilisa as an independent company.
The
trading price of the combined company’s stock may be affected by factors
different from those currently affecting the prices of Intelli-Check and
Mobilisa Common Stock.
Upon
completion of the merger, holders of Mobilisa’s Common Stock became holders of
the Common Stock of Intelli-Check. The results of operations of the combined
company, as well as the trading price of Intelli-Check’s Common Stock after the
merger, may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting
the
results of operations and the trading price of the Common Stock of
Intelli-Check.

2. Properties
As
of
March 14, 2008, our corporate headquarters will be relocated to Mobilisa’s
facility consisting of approximately 5,840 square feet located in Port
Townsend, WA. The lease for this premise expires on July 31, 2017. We also
lease approximately 7,100 square feet in Woodbury, NY pursuant to an amended
lease expiring on December 31, 2010. In addition, we lease approximately 3,289
square feet in Alexandria, VA pursuant to an amended lease that expires on
January 31, 2010 and approximately 931 square feet in Beavercreek, OH pursuant
to a lease that expires on September 30, 2009. Most U.S. sales, marketing and
technical personnel for all product divisions are in these locations, with
a
small number of individuals operating out of their home offices. We believe
that
our existing facilities are adequate to meet current requirements and that
additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate any
expansion of operations.

3. Legal
Proceedings
On
August
1, 2003, Intelli-Check filed a summons and complaint against Tricom Card
Technologies, Inc. alleging infringement on its patent and seeking injunctive
and monetary relief. On October 23, 2003, Intelli-Check amended its complaint
to
include infringement on an additional patent. On May 18, 2004, Intelli-Check
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 Intelli-Check’s request to discuss a proposed motion to
disqualify defendants' counsel for a conflict of interest. Pursuant to the
Court's order, Intelli-Check served moving papers upon defendants on July 14,
2006 and defendants served opposition to the motion on or about July 28, 2006.
Intelli-Check 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 Intelli-Check’s
opposition to defendants' motion and defendants’ reply to the opposition. As of
March 2008, the Court has not scheduled a hearing date for either motion and
there is no trial date pending.
Intelli-Check
is not aware of any infringement by its products or technology on the
proprietary rights of others.
Other
than as set forth above, Intelli-Check is not currently involved in any legal
or
regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to
have
a material adverse effect on its business.

(d) Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
On
March
14, 2008, in connection with the Transaction, the Company issued 12,281,649
shares of its common stock to 6 individuals. No commissions or fees were paid
in
connection with the issuance of such securities. The shares were issued pursuant
to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, because
the
shares were issued to a small number of sophisticated individuals in a private
transaction.
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. These
shares were subsequently registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-8,
which was filed with the SEC on June 1, 2007. 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.
33
(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, 2007, we cumulatively purchased 40,200 shares totaling approximately
$222,000 and subsequently retired these shares. There were no shares purchased
during 2007. 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 and 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-issued 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.
Because
of continuing terrorist threats worldwide, 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, 2007, we had
an
accumulated deficit of approximately $45 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.
35
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 used or 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-Check®
EHO is
an executable helper object for non browser based applications. 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.
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 allowances for
doubtful accounts and stock-based compensation. Due to the inherent
uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future
periods may be different from those estimates.
36
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,
2007, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets.
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.

Results
of Operations
COMPARISON
OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2006
REVENUE.
Revenues increased by 11.1%, or $350,054, from $3,161,854, for the year ended
December 31, 2006 to $3,511,908 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2007 consisted of revenues from direct sales
to
customers of $2,447,966, revenues from distributors of $1,042,064 and royalty
payments of $21,878 compared to $2,074,925, $1,058,426 and $28,503,
respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2006. We remain optimistic that
revenues will continue to increase, since our pipeline of sales opportunities
is
substantial and growing, particularly in the commercial sector. We expect
our
recently announced partnerships, together with the success of our technology
in
tests in both the commercial and government sectors, to contribute to this
anticipated growth. While we continue to believe that the government sector
could ultimately be a significant market segment, we have been disappointed
that
there have been insignificant government revenues to date. We are encouraged
by
the President’s signing of the 911 Homeland Security bill on August 3, 2007;
however, the timing of the ultimate funding of each of the proposed initiatives
is still uncertain at this time. Also, additional legislative efforts to
address
identity management and to control under-age access to age-restricted products
could, if enacted, lead to future sales opportunities. We anticipate that
the
acquisition of Mobilisa will significantly increase our business in the
government sector beginning in the second quarter of 2008. 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. Our booked orders, which represent the total value of all new
non-cancellable orders for products, services and fees received from our
customers and distributors, were approximately $4.6 million in 2007 as compared
to $4.0 in 2006. As of December 31, 2007, our backlog, which represents
non-cancelable sales orders for products and services not yet shipped or
performed, was approximately $1.9 million, an increase of 73% over the backlog
of $1.1 million at December 31, 2006. Approximately $1.0 million of the 2007
backlog could be recognized over one to four years depending upon release
dates
by the customer. We expect that our backlog will continue to increase as
we
shift our revenue model towards pursuing more subscription based and transaction
based contracts rather than product sales for a one time fee. While this
may
initially result in lower current period revenues, our total revenue stream
over
the period of the contract will be greater as we increase the proportion
of this
contract to the total orders booked.
GROSS
PROFIT.
Gross
profits decreased by $3,546 or 0.2% from $2,124,513 for the year ended December
31, 2006 to $2,120,967 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our gross profit,
as a percentage of revenues, decreased 6.8% to 60.4% in the year ended December
31, 2007 compared to the 67.2% reported for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Our gross profit percentage was lower than in the prior year period as a
result
of a higher mix of our bundled sales of hardware and software products,
including laptops purchased on behalf of larger customers which have lower
margins than our licensing products which have a higher gross profit percentage.
Based upon the mix of products included in the orders in backlog, it is
anticipated that near term margins will continue to be lower as a percent
of
revenues.
OPERATING
EXPENSES.
Operating
expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and research
and
development expenses, decreased 5.2% from $5,227,357 for the year ended December
31, 2006 to $4,955,818 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Selling expenses,
which consist primarily of salaries and related costs for marketing, decreased
1.9% from $1,564,843 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $1,534,660 for
the
year ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to higher employee costs of
approximately $92,000 due to an increase in sales headcount and higher marketing
expenses, including website development fees, of $60,000, which was offset
by a
reductions in sales consulting fees of $22,000, recruiting fees of $18,000,
travel $14,000, sales support costs of $12,000 and non-cash stock-based
compensation expense from the granting of stock options totaling approximately
$116,000. 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
12.7% from $2,664,950 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $2,333,154
for the
year ended December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of a reduction in legal
fees
of approximately $255,000 relating to decreased activity on our patent
infringement litigation, lower non cash stock-based compensation expense
from
the granting of stock options totaling $311,000, a decrease in employee costs
and related expenses of $232,000 and decreases in other office related expenses
of $6,000. These amounts were offset by the death benefit and other payroll
costs of $152,000 resulting from the untimely passing of our Chairman and
CEO,
Frank Mandelbaum in June 2007, higher directors’ fees $154,000 (including fees
and a bonus to the interim Chairman and CEO of $149,000) and increased
accounting and consulting fees of $142,000, including Sarbanes-Oxley Section
404
compliance fees. Also, included in the year ended December 31, 2006 was a
bad
debt recovery of approximately $26,000. Research and development expenses,
which
consist primarily of salaries and related costs for the development of our
products, increased 9.1% to $1,088,004 for the year ended December 31, 2007
from
$997,564 for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of higher
project management and employee related expenses of approximately $82,000
and an
increase in non cash stock-based compensation expense from the granting of
stock
options of $48,000. These were partially offset by reductions in travel and
convention expenses of $22,000 and lower prototype and office costs of $18,000.
As the Company experiences sales growth, we expect that we will incur additional
operating expenses to support this growth. Research and development expenses
may
also increase as we integrate additional products and technologies with our
patented ID-Check technology.
38
INTEREST
INCOME.
Interest
income decreased from $222,874 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $161,633
for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is a result of a decrease in
our
cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short term investments,
partially offset by higher interest rates received on investments during
2007.
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 7.2% from $2,879,970
for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $2,673,218 for the year ended December
31, 2007.
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. Revenue increases are due to Intelli-Check’s ongoing success in
penetrating certain key markets. 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 had 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.
39
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.
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. We used the net proceeds
of the
financings for the primary purpose of funding working capital and general
corporate purposes as well as for the purchase of hardware terminals.
As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities and short term investments of $2,042,983, working capital (defined
as
current assets minus current liabilities) of $1,763,493, total assets of
$4,074,411 and stockholders’ equity of $2,020,153. The Company currently has no
bank financing or long term debt. Cash used in operating activities for the
year
ended December 31, 2007 was $2,239,438, an increase of $233,263 over the
cash
used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase
was primarily a result of cash used to fund the increase in accounts receivable
and a reduction in non-cash adjustments for stock-based expenses, partially
offset by a lower net loss. Cash provided by investing activities for the
year
ended December 31, 2007 of $1,873,145 resulted primarily from net redemptions
of
marketable securities and short term investments, which were the principal
means
used to fund the operating cash deficit and deferred merger costs. Cash provided
by financing activities was $232,359 for the year ended December 31, 2007
and
resulted from the proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise
of stock options and warrants.
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company used net cash of approximately
$2.2 million or approximately $187,000 per month. During the fourth quarter
of
2007, the level of accounts receivable increased by $171,000 resulting from
a
delay in payment from some of our larger customers. We anticipate full
collection from these accounts in the first quarter of 2008. Also, as a result
of the decrease in the market price of our common stock in the second half
of
the year, there were no stock option exercises in the last six months of
2007
compared to cash proceeds of $232,000 in the first six months of 2007. Not
taking into account our transaction with Mobilisa (as described below), we
currently anticipate that our available cash on hand and marketable securities
and cash resources from expected revenues from the sale of the units in
inventory and the licensing of our technology, as well as from the significant
amount of deferred revenues and backlog, 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. In addition, Mobilisa
generated positive cash flows from its operations in 2007 and has a substantial
backlog of orders as of March 14, 2008, the date the transaction with Mobilisa
was consumated. We anticipate that these will provide us with additional
sources
of liquidity and capital resources beginning in the second quarter of 2008.
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.
There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the additional
funds
when needed or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
40
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.
On
November 20, 2007, we and Mobilisa, Inc., a private company that is a leader
in
identity systems and mobile and wireless technologies, entered into a merger
agreement pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary would merger with
and
into Mobilisa, resulting in Mobilisa becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.
At a
special meeting of stockholders held on March 14, 2008, our stockholders
voted
to approve the merger, as well as to amend Intelli-Check’s certificate of
incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock and to increase
the number of shares issuable under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Our
corporation was renamed Intelli-Check-Mobilisa, Inc. The headquarters of
Intelli-Check was moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend,
Washington.
The
former shareholders of Mobilisa received a number of shares of our common
stock
such that they will own 50% of the common stock of the combined company.
Mobilisa option holders will also exchange their options for our options.
The
aggregate value of the purchase consideration is equal to $50,722,000, based
on
the closing price of our common stock on November 20, 2007.
We
intend
to account for the transaction under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Under this accounting method, based on
our preliminary assessment, we will record as our cost, the assets of Mobilisa,
less the liabilities assumed, with the excess of such cost over the estimated
fair value of such net assets (including identifiable intangibles) reflected
as
goodwill. Additionally, certain costs directly related to the transaction
will
be reflected as additional purchase price in excess of net assets acquired.
Our
results of operations will include the operations of Mobilisa from the closing
date of the transaction. As of December 31, 2007, we had incurred $208,000
reflected on the balance sheet as Deferred Acquisition Costs.
In
March
2001, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one non-transferable
right
to purchase one share of its 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. On May 10, 2007,
the
Board of Directors authorized extending these rights, which were due to expire
on June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008. We have the right to redeem the outstanding
rights for $.01 per right under certain conditions, which were not met as
of
August 10, 2007. We reserved 970,076 shares of common stock for future issuance
under this rights offering. To date, we have received $2,482,009 before expenses
from the exercise of 292,001 of these rights, which has reduced the amount
of
shares available for future issuance. None of these rights were exercised
in the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
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.
41
As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company had total warrants outstanding for 922,636
shares
of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.12 that expire
between March 26, 2008 and August 21, 2011.
Net
Operating Loss Carry Forwards
As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards (NOL’s) for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $36.1 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 2018 if not utilized. Under Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code, these NOL’s may be limited due to the acquisition of
Mobilisa.

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.
On
December 4, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), Business
Combinations. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations and
applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control
of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a
business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date
fair
value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired
and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose additional
information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect
of
the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective prospectively for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that
date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption
of SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.
On
December 4, 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
(or
minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary
by requiring all noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in
the
same way, as equity in the consolidated financial statements and eliminates
the
diversity in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling
interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is
effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008
and may not be applied before that date. The Company is currently evaluating
the
impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financials Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115”. This standard permits measurement of certain financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value. If the fair value option
is
elected, the unrealized gains and losses are reported in earnings at each
reporting date. Generally, the fair value option may be elected on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, as long as it is applied to the instrument
in
its entirety. The fair value option election is irrevocable, unless a new
election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 requires prospective application and also
establishes certain additional presentation and disclosure requirements.
The
standard is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins
after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions
of SFAS No. 159 to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will
have on the Company’s financial statements.
42
In
September 2006, the FASB issued 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. In December 2007, the
FASB
issued proposed FSP FAS No. 157-2 which would delay the effective date of
SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This proposed FSP partially
defers the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items
within the scope of this FSP. Effective January 1, 2008, we will adopt
SFAS No. 157 except as it applies to those non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities as noted in proposed FSP FAS No.157-2. We are
currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial
statements.
In
June
2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable
Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research
and
Development Activities,” which is effective for calendar year companies on
January 1, 2008. The Task Force concluded that nonrefundable advance
payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research
and development activities should be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts
should be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or
the
services are performed, or when the goods or services are no longer expected
to
be provided. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of
implementing this standard.
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.
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 highly liquid Municipal Rate Auction Securities. 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

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, 2007.
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; (ii) to record,
process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods
specified in the rules of the SEC; and (iii) to ensure that information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
was no
change
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Annual
Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
for the Company. Management, with the participation of our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 (the end
of our fiscal year), based on the framework and criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of
December 31, 2007. This evaluation did not include an evaluation of
Mobilisa’s internal controls over financial reporting.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report
in this annual report.

Item
11. Executive Compensation
INTELLI-CHECK
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
This
compensation discussion describes the material elements of compensation awarded
to, earned by, or paid to each of Intelli-Check’s executive officers who served
as named executive officers during the last completed fiscal year. This
compensation discussion focuses on the information contained in the following
tables and related footnotes and narrative for primarily the last completed
fiscal year, but also describes compensation actions taken before or after
the last completed fiscal year to the extent it enhances the understanding
of
Intelli-Check’s executive compensation disclosure.
48
The
Compensation Committee currently oversees the design and administration of
Intelli-Check’s executive compensation program and compensation for the Board of
Directors.
The
principal elements of Intelli-Check’s executive compensation program are base
salary, annual cash incentives, long-term equity incentives in the form of
stock
options and other benefits. Intelli-Check’s other benefits consist of reimbursed
business travel and entertainment expenses, a vehicle allowance, health
insurance benefits, vacation and sick pay and a qualified 401(k) savings
plan.
Intelli-Check’s philosophy is to position the aggregate of these elements at a
level that is commensurate with Intelli-Check’s size and
performance.
Compensation
Program Objectives and Philosophy
In
General.
The
objectives of Intelli-Check’s compensation programs are to:
·
|
attract,
motivate and retain talented and dedicated executive
officers;
|
·
|
provide
Intelli-Check’s executive officers with both cash and equity incentives to
further Intelli-Check’s interests and those of Intelli-Check’s
stockholders, and
|
·
|
provide
employees with long-term incentives so Intelli-Check can retain
them and
provide stability during Intelli-Check’s growth
stage.
|
Generally,
the compensation of Intelli-Check’s executive officers is composed of a base
salary, an annual incentive compensation award and equity awards in the form
of
stock options. In setting base salaries, the Compensation Committee generally
reviewed the individual contributions of the particular executive. The annual
incentive compensation awards for 2007 and 2008 are and will be discretionary
awards determined by the Compensation Committee based on expected Company
performance. No annual incentive compensation has been paid to executive
officers in the last three years. In addition, stock options are granted
to
provide the opportunity for long-term compensation based upon the performance
of
Intelli-Check’s common stock over time.
Intelli-Check
generally intends to qualify executive compensation for deductibility without
limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 162(m) provides that, for purposes of the regular income tax and
the alternative minimum tax, the otherwise allowable deduction for compensation
paid or accrued with respect to a covered employee of a publicly-held
corporation (other than certain exempt performance-based compensation) is
limited to no more than $1.0 million per year. The non-exempt compensation
paid to any of our executive officers for fiscal 2007 as calculated for purposes
of Section 162(m) did not exceed the $1.0 million limit.
Competitive
Market
. Intelli-Check defines its competitive market for
executive talent and investment capital to be the technology and business
services industries. To date, Intelli-Check has not engaged in the benchmarking
of executive compensation but Intelli-Check may choose to do so in the
future.
Compensation
Process. For
each of Intelli-Check’s named executive officers, the Compensation Committee
reviews and approves all elements of compensation, taking into consideration
recommendations from Intelli-Check’s CEO (for compensation other than his own),
as well as competitive market guidance. Based upon its review, the Compensation
Committee approves salaries for executive officers. The Compensation Committee
sets the salary level of each executive officer on a case by case basis,
taking
into account the individual’s level of responsibilities and performance. All
executive officer salaries are reviewed on an annual basis. Salary changes
for
executives are based primarily on their performance in supporting the strategic
initiatives of the Chief Executive Officer, economic and competitive factors,
meeting individual goals and objectives set by the Chief Executive Officer,
and
improving the operating efficiency of the company. Also, where applicable,
changes in the duties and responsibilities of each other executive officer
may
be considered in deciding on changes in annual salary. For 2007, the aggregate
of the compensation paid to Intelli-Check’s Chief Executive Officer and other
executive officers was 61% cash and 39% non-cash option awards.
Executive
Officer Bonuses.
The
Compensation Committee has made a significant portion of executive officer
compensation contingent upon Intelli-Check’s performance and each individual’s
contribution to Intelli-Check’s success. For 2007, the Board of Directors
approved a bonus plan for executives and employees which consisted of a bonus
pool of up to $200,000 if the Company’s results of operations exceeded the
approved 2007 budget by that amount. Intelli-Check did not meet this threshold
during 2007, and therefore, the Compensation Committee did not authorize
the
payment of bonuses for 2007.
49
Stock
Option Grants.
The
Compensation Committee currently administers Intelli-Check’s stock option and
equity incentive plans for executive officers, employees, consultants and
outside directors. Under the plans, the Compensation Committee grants options
to
purchase Common Stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value
of
the Common Stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee believes
that
providing stock options to the executive officers, who are responsible for
Intelli-Check’s management and growth, gives them an opportunity to own
Intelli-Check stock and better aligns their interests with the interests
of the
stockholders. It also promotes retention of the officers because of the vesting
provisions of the option grants and the potential for stock price
appreciation.
For
these
reasons, the Compensation Committee considers stock options as an important
element of compensation when it reviews executive officer compensation. At
its
discretion, the Compensation Committee also grants options based on individual
and corporate achievements.
Normally,
the Chief Executive Officer makes a recommendation to the Committee for awards
to be made to executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.
The
Committee approves grants made to the Chief Executive Officer and other
executive officers and, in certain cases, recommends grants for approval
by the
entire Board. The Compensation Committee determines the number of shares
underlying each stock option grant based upon the executive officer’s and
Intelli-Check’s performance, the executive officer’s role and responsibilities
at Intelli-Check and the executive officer’s base salary. 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 will be granted
on
the third Thursday of each month after they have been approved 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.
Chief
Executive Officer Compensation.
On
March
14, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Ludlow,
pursuant to which Dr. Ludlow was appointed the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer. The Compensation Committee determined that it was in the best interest
of the Company to enter into this two year agreement to provide assurance
to the
Company of the continued availability of Dr. Ludlow’s services after the
transaction with Mobilisa. Dr. Ludlow will receive a salary of $220,000 per
year, be granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
on March 20, 2008 that will be immediately exercisable at a price per share
equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant, and an annual bonus based on reasonable objectives established by
the
Company’s Board of Directors. Dr. Ludlow will be entitled to receive benefits in
accordance with the Company’s existing benefit policies and will be reimbursed
for Company expenses in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement
policies. The employment agreement has a term of two years. Dr. Ludlow may
terminate the agreement at any time on 60 days prior written notice to the
Company. In addition, the Company or Dr. Ludlow may terminate the employment
agreement immediately for cause, as described in the employment agreement.
If
the Company terminates the agreement without cause, Dr. Ludlow will be entitled
to severance equal to one year of his base salary, in addition to salary
already
earned. If Dr. Ludlow terminates the agreement for cause, Dr. Ludlow will
be
entitled to receive a payment equal to $50,000, in addition to salary already
earned.
The
determination of the base salary to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer
was
based on a number of factors including the historical compensation of Dr.
Ludlow
and the relative compensation in comparison to the other existing senior
executives in the Company. In deciding on
future
changes in the base salary of the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation
Committee will consider several performance factors. Among these are operating
and administrative efficiency and the maintenance of an appropriately
experienced management team. The Compensation Committee also evaluates the
Chief
Executive Officer’s performance in the area of finding and evaluating new
business opportunities to establish the most productive strategic direction
for
Intelli-Check.
50
The
following table sets forth compensation paid to executive officers whose
compensation was in excess of $100,000 for any of the three fiscal years
ended
December 31, 2007. No other executive officers received total salary and
bonus
compensation in excess of $100,000 during any of such fiscal years.

Stock
Option and Equity Incentive Plans
The
principal purpose of the Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plans is to attract,
motivate, reward and retain selected employees, consultants and directors
through the granting of stock-based compensation awards. The Plans provide
for a
variety of awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock
options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code), stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock awards, performance-based awards and other stock-based
awards. 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 company’s Common Stock on such day.
Intelli-Check
adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Stock Option Plan”) covering up to
400,000 of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which officers, directors,
key employees and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive
stock options and nonqualified stock options. The Compensation Committee
of the
Board of Directors currently administers the 1998 Stock Option Plan and
determines the terms and conditions of options granted, including the exercise
price. The 1998 Stock Option Plan provides that all stock options will expire
within ten years of the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted under
the
1998 Stock Option Plan must be granted at an exercise price that is not less
than the fair market value per share at the date of grant and the exercise
price
must not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share at the date
of
grant for grants to persons owning more than 10% of the voting stock of
Intelli-Check . The 1998 Stock Option Plan also entitles non-employee directors
to receive grants of non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board
of
Directors.
In
August
1999, Intelli-Check adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan covering up to 1,000,000
of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which officers, directors, key
employees and consultants to Intelli-Check are eligible to receive incentive
stock options and nonqualified stock options. The Compensation Committee
of the
Board of Directors currently administers the 1999 Stock Option Plan and
determines the terms and conditions of options granted, including the exercise
price. The 1999 Stock Option Plan provides that all stock options will expire
within ten years of the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted under
the
1999 Stock Option Plan must be granted at an exercise price that is not less
than the fair market value per share at the date of grant and the exercise
price
must not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share at the date
of
grant for grants to persons owning more than 10% of the voting stock of the
company. The 1999 Stock Option Plan also entitles non-employee directors
to
receive grants of non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board of
Directors.
52
At
the
Company’s Annual Meeting held on July 11, 2001, the stockholders approved the
2001 Stock Option Plan covering up to 500,000 of the Company’s Common Stock,
pursuant to which the officers, directors, key employees and consultants
to
Intelli-Check are eligible to receive incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors currently
administers the 2001 Stock Option Plan and determines the terms and conditions
of options granted, including the exercise price. The 2001 Stock Option Plan
provides that all stock options will expire within ten years of the date
of
grant. Incentive stock options granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan must
be
granted at an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value
per
share at the date of the grant and the exercise price must not be less than 110%
of the fair market value per share at the date of the grant for grants to
persons owning more than 10% of the voting stock of the company. The 2001
Stock
Option Plan also entitles non-employee directors to receive grants on
non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board of Directors.
At
the
Company’s Annual Meeting held on July 10, 2003, the stockholders approved the
2003 Stock Option Plan covering up to 500,000 of the Company’s Common Stock,
pursuant to which the officers, directors, key employees and consultants
to
Intelli-Check are eligible to receive incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors currently
administers the 2003 Stock Option Plan and determines the terms and conditions
of options granted, including the exercise price. The 2003 Stock Option Plan
provides that all stock options will expire within ten years of the date
of
grant. Incentive stock options granted under the 2003 Stock Option Plan must
be
granted at an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value
per
share at the date of the grant and the exercise price must not be less than
110%
of the fair market value per share at the date of the grant for grants to
persons owning more than 10% of the voting stock of the company. The 2003
Stock
Option Plan also entitles non-employee directors to receive grants on
non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board of Directors.
At
the
Company’s Annual Meeting held on June 16, 2006, the stockholders approved the
2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which amends and restates the Company’s 2004 Stock
Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) covering up to 850,000 of the Company’s Common
Stock, pursuant to which the officers, directors, key employees and consultants
to the company are eligible to receive incentive stock options, nonqualified
stock options and restricted stock awards. The Compensation Committee of
the
Board of Directors currently administers the 2006 Plan and determines the
terms
and conditions of options or restricted stock awards granted, including the
option exercise price. The 2006 Plan provides that all stock options or
restricted stock awards will expire within ten years of the date of grant.
Incentive stock options granted under the 2006 Plan must be granted at an
exercise price that is not less than the fair market value per share at the
date
of the grant and the exercise price must not be less than 110% of the fair
market value per share at the date of the grant for grants to persons owning
more than 10% of the voting stock of the company. The 2006 Plan also entitles
non-employee directors to receive grants on non-qualified stock options as
approved by the Board of Directors. At the Company’s special meeting of
Stockholders held on March 14, 2008, the stockholders voted to amend the
2006
Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized to be issued by 3,000,000.
Administration.
The
Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plans are currently administered by the
Compensation Committee as designated by the Board of Directors. The Compensation
Committee has the power to interpret the Stock Option and Equity Incentive
Plans
and to adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application
according to terms of the plans.
Grant
of Awards; Shares Available for Awards.
Certain
employees, consultants and directors are eligible to be granted awards under
the
Plans. The Compensation Committee will determine who will receive awards
under
the Plans, as well as the form of the awards, the number of shares underlying
the awards, and the terms and conditions of the awards consistent with the
terms
of the Plans.
53
A
total
of 1,149,679 shares of Intelli-Check’s Common Stock are available for issuance
or delivery under the existing Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plans. The
number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued or reserved pursuant to
the Plans will be adjusted at the discretion of the Board of Directors or
the
Compensation Committee as a result of stock splits, stock dividends and similar
changes in the Company’s Common Stock.
Stock
Options.
The
Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plans permit the Compensation Committee
to
grant participants incentive stock options, which qualify for special tax
treatment in the United States, as well as non-qualified stock options. The
Compensation Committee will establish the duration of each option at the
time it
is granted, with maximum ten-year duration for incentive stock options, and
may
also establish vesting and performance requirements that must be met prior
to
the exercise of options. Stock option grants (other than incentive stock
option
grants) also may have exercise prices that are less than, equal to or greater
than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant.
Incentive stock options must have an exercise price that is at least equal
to
the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Stock
option grants may include provisions that permit the option holder to exercise
all or part of the holder’s vested options, or to satisfy withholding tax
liabilities, by tendering shares of the Company’s Common Stock already owned by
the option holder for at least six months (or another period consistent with
the
applicable accounting rules) with a fair market value equal to the exercise
price.
Other
Equity-Based Awards
. In
addition to stock options, the Compensation Committee may also grant certain
employees, consultants and directors shares of restricted stock, with terms
and
conditions as the Compensation Committee may, pursuant to the terms of the
2006
Plan, establish. The 2006 Plan does not allow awards to be made under terms
and
conditions which would cause such awards to be treated as deferred compensation
subject to the rules of Section 409A of the Code.
Change-in-Control
Provisions.
In
connection with the grant of an award, the Compensation Committee may provide
that, in the event of a change in control, any outstanding awards that are
unexercisable or otherwise unvested will become fully vested and immediately
exercisable.
Amendment
and Termination.
The
Compensation Committee may adopt, amend and rescind rules relating to the
administration of the Plans, and amend, suspend or terminate the Plans, but
no
amendment will be made that adversely affects in a material manner any rights
of
the holder of any award without the holder’s consent, other than amendments that
are necessary to permit the granting of awards in compliance with applicable
laws. Intelli-Check attempted to structure the Plans so that remuneration
attributable to stock options and other awards will not be subject to a
deduction limitation contained in Section 162(m) of the Code.

at
board meetings and $500 for attendance at such meetings telephonically. Each
non-employee director also received a fee of $250 for participation, either
in-person or telephonically, at each separately convened committee meeting
not
held in conjunction with a board meeting. The Board recommended that beginning
in 2006 non-employee directors should be granted the choice of restricted
shares
of Intelli-Check’s Common Stock in lieu of stock options or a number of stock
options equal to that of the stock grant at the director’s option. In addition,
the Board further recommended that non-employee directors, who are members
of a
committee, should be granted the choice of restricted shares of Intelli-Check’s
Common Stock in lieu of stock options or a number of stock options equal
to that
of the stock grant at the director’s option. The number of restricted shares as
proposed would be determined by the Board at each annual board meeting. This
plan was included in Intelli-Check’s proxy statement for a vote by
Intelli-Check’s stockholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.

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, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2007. 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 audits 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 appropriate 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, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, effective January 1,
2007 the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB
No. 109.”
As
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1,
2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123(R), “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, 2007.
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.

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.
Liquidity
Since
inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flow
from operating activities, and as of December 31, 2007 we had an accumulated
deficit of $44,661,070. 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and
cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2007
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 $356,803 and $155,851, respectively.
Marketable
Securities
Effective
in the third quarter of 2007, the Company changed its classification of
investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale securities and
currently accounts for them in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). Under
SFAS No. 115, securities purchased to be held for indefinite periods
of time and not intended at the time of purchase to be held until maturity
are
classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company continually evaluates
whether any marketable investments have been impaired and, if so, whether such
impairment is temporary or other than temporary. All of the Company’s marketable
securities have maturities of less than one year with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.2%. The carrying value of the marketable securities as of
December 31, 2007 approximated their fair market value. Marketable Securities
and Short Term Investments are invested in Municipal Auction Rate Securities.
Realized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are calculated using the
specific identification method. During the year ended December 31, 2007,
realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities were insignificant.
Previously,
the Company classified its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as the
Company had the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The
securities were carried at amortized cost using the specific identification
method. Interest income was recorded using an effective interest rate, with
the
associated premium or discount amortized to interest income.
F-7
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, 2007,
2006 or 2005.
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, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
F-8
INTELLI-CHECK,
INC.
NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred
Acquisition Costs
The
Company has deferred certain legal and proxy related charges related to the
business combination with Mobilisa, Inc. (See note 11). These costs will be
capitalized as part of the purchase price once the transaction has been
completed.
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.
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, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company received $21,878, $28,503, and
$58,480 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, 2007 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, 2007 and 2006, the carrying value of the Company’s financial
instruments approximated fair value, due to their short-term nature.
F-9
INTELLI-CHECK,
INC.
NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 Municipal Auction Rate Securities. 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 year ended December 31, 2007, the Company made sales to two customers that
accounted for approximately 33.6% of total revenues. During the year ended
December 31, 2006, the Company made sales to two different customers that
accounted for approximately 31.3% of total revenues. These customers represented
36.1% and 8.5% of total accounts receivable in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
As
of
December 31, 2007, 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, 2007, 2006 and 2005, does not include
the
impact of stock options and warrants then outstanding, as the effect of their
inclusion would be antidilutive.
The
following table summarizes the equivalent number of common shares assuming
the
related securities that were outstanding as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005

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

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock option grants on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period.
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.
The
following table illustrates the effect on 2005 net loss and loss per share
as if
the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123,
as
amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and
disclosure.” This standard preceded SFAS 123(R) and required different
measurement criteria:

Segment
Information
The
Company adheres to the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information.” This statement establishes standards
for the way public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in financial statements
issued to shareholders. Management has determined that it only has one reporting
segment.
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, allowances for doubtful
accounts and stock-based compensation. 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.
On
December 4, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), Business
Combinations. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations and
applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control
of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a
business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair
value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired
and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose additional
information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect
of
the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective prospectively for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that
date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption
of SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.
On
December 4, 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
(or
minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary
by requiring all noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the
same way, as equity in the consolidated financial statements and eliminates
the
diversity in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling
interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is
effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008
and may not be applied before that date. The Company is currently evaluating
the
impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financials Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115”. This standard permits measurement of certain financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value. If the fair value option is
elected, the unrealized gains and losses are reported in earnings at each
reporting date. Generally, the fair value option may be elected on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, as long as it is applied to the instrument
in
its entirety. The fair value option election is irrevocable, unless a new
election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 requires prospective application and also
establishes certain additional presentation and disclosure requirements. The
standard is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions
of SFAS No. 159 to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will
have on the Company’s financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued 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. In December 2007, the FASB
issued proposed FSP FAS No. 157-2 which would delay the effective date of
SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This proposed FSP partially
defers the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items
within the scope of this FSP. Effective January 1, 2008, we will adopt
SFAS No. 157 except as it applies to those non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities as noted in proposed FSP FAS No.157-2. We are
currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
In
June
2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable
Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research
and
Development Activities,” which is effective for calendar year companies on
January 1, 2008. The Task Force concluded that nonrefundable advance
payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research
and development activities should be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts
should be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the
services are performed, or when the goods or services are no longer expected
to
be provided. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of
implementing this standard.

INCOME
TAXES
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. On May 2, 2007 the FASB issued
Interpretation No. 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation 48”
(“FIN 48-1”). FIN 48-1 amends FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an enterprise
should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose
of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance in FIN 48-1
shall be applied upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. We adopted FIN 48 and
FIN
48-1 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have an impact
on our results of operations or financial position. As a result of our
continuing losses for tax purposes, we have historically not paid income taxes
and have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.
Therefore, we have not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits prior
to adoption of FIN 48 and there was no adjustment from the implementation.
There
continues to be no liability related to unrecognized tax benefits at December
31, 2007. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits in income tax expense. There was no accrued interest related to
unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007. The tax years 2004-2007 remain
open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

Realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any. The Company
has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets since
management believes that it is more likely than not that these assets will
not
be realized.
As
of
December 31, 2007 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOL’s) for
federal and New York State income tax purposes of approximately $36.1 million.
There can be no assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the
NOL’s. The federal and state NOL’s are available to offset future taxable income
and expire from 2018 through 2025 if not utilized. Under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code, these NOL’s may be limited due to ownership
changes.
The
effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is
different from the tax benefit that would result from applying the statutory
tax
rates primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances.

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 were issuable 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 $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.

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
of
$1.00 per share. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no outstanding
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Secondary
Offerings
On
August
9, 2005, the Company successfully completed its private 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. The Company purchased 110,000 of these warrants in
December 2005 for $25,000 and retired them, leaving 390,000 currently
outstanding. In addition, the Company granted to its 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. On October 7, 2005, the Registration Statement
on Form S-3, which included the shares issued in the Company’s secondary
offering, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 has extended the expiration date for these rights through
June 30, 2008. 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
2008. The Company reserved 659,653 shares of common stock for future issuance
under this rights offering. There was no expense recorded in 2007, 2006 and
2005
for the extension of these rights. As of December 31, 2007, 292,001 of these
rights had been exercised and the Company received cumulatively $2,482,009
before expenses of $133,834.
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. As of
December 31, 2007, the Company had warrants outstanding for 922,636 shares
of
common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.12, which expire between
March 26, 2008 and August 21, 2011.
Stock
Options and Stock Based Compensation
In
order
to retain and attract qualified personnel necessary for the success of the
Company, the Company adopted several Stock Option Plans from 1998 through 2004
(and an amendment to the 2004 plan in 2006 pursuant to which the plan was
renamed the “2006 Equity Incentive Plan” and amended to provide for the issuance
of other types of equity incentives such as restricted stock grants)
(collectively, the “Plans”) covering up to 3,250,000 of the Company’s common
shares, pursuant to which officers, directors, key employees and consultants
to
the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers
these Plans and determines the terms and conditions of options granted,
including the exercise price. These Plans generally provide that all stock
options will expire within ten years of the date of grant. Incentive stock
options granted under these Plans must be granted at an exercise price that
is
not less than the fair market value per share at the date of the grant and
the
exercise price must not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share
at
the date of the grant for grants to persons owning more than 10% of the voting
stock of the Company. These Plans also entitle non-employee directors to receive
grants of non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board of Directors.
At
the Company’s special meeting of Stockholders held on March 14, 2008, the
stockholders voted to amend the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to
increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued by
3,000,000.

NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 recorded $402,995 as deferred compensation for these services
as
of December 31, 2005. 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 $122,246 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
During December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized amortization of
deferred compensation of $129,756 and $143,758, 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. No warrants
were
issued in 2007 or 2006. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), during the year
ended December 31, 2006, all remaining deferred compensation expense of $180,648
was reduced and offset against additional paid in capital.

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.

under the 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2006 Stock Option Plans.
As
of
December 31, 2007, there was $247,384 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 1.7

The
Company did not capitalize any share-based compensation cost in 2007 or 2006.
The
Company has a net operating loss carry-forward as of December 31, 2007, and
no excess tax benefits for the tax deductions related to share based awards
were
recognized in the statements of operations. Additionally, no incremental tax
benefits were recognized from stock options exercised in 2007 that would have
resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating
activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing
activities.
During
January 2006 and 2005, 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 former Chairman and
CEO. As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the shares issued
as a
non-cash expense totaling $0 and $44,250, respectively which was calculated
using the Black-Scholes valuation method.
During
2006 and 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the expiration date of
56,500 and 270,500 stock options for one and three of the Company’s directors
who resigned from the Board for an additional 12 and 9 months, respectively.
As
a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the extension of $34,350 and
$184,200 as a non cash expense during the year ended December 31, 2006 and
2005,
respectively. These amounts were calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R in
2006
and Financial Interpretation No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions
involving Stock Compensation” in 2005.
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 were “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.
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.
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 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.

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
superseded 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, 2007, total fees payable under this agreement
amounted to less than $1,000.
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, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company received $21,878, $28,503
and $58,480, 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
The
Company has no employment agreements with any of its employees.
Severance
Arrangements
Mr.
Peter
Mundy, Intelli-Check’s Chief Financial Officer, has a severance arrangement with
Intelli-Check, which provides that if Intelli-Check acquires a company and
retains and appoints an employee from the acquired company in the role of Chief
Financial Officer and Mr. Mundy chooses not to accept a lesser role in the
combined company he would be entitled to a severance payment of $72,500 (equal
to six months salary).
Supplier
Agreements
We
currently have a product supply agreement with a vendor for the purchase of
input devices. Under the terms of the agreement, these devices, which are
private labeled, are programmed to work in conjunction with our ID-Check®
technology.
The agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms on December
31
of each year pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company had a commitment of $143,550 under this
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.

Investment
Firm Relationships
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
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, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded
an
expense of approximately $186,000 and $71,000, respectively. No underwriting
discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such securities. The Company
renegotiated the terms of the agreement on September 30, 2006 extending the
agreement by two additional years and currently pays $6,000 per month for the
services. As of December 31, 2007, we had a commitment of $54,000 under this
agreement.
Legal
Proceedings
On
August
1, 2003, Intelli-Check filed a summons and complaint against Tricom Card
Technologies, Inc. alleging infringement on its patent and seeking injunctive
and monetary relief. On October 23, 2003, Intelli-Check amended its complaint
to
include infringement on an additional patent. On May 18, 2004, Intelli-Check
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 Intelli-Check’s request to discuss a proposed motion to
disqualify defendants' counsel for a conflict of interest. Pursuant to the
Court's order, Intelli-Check served moving papers upon defendants on July 14,
2006 and defendants served opposition to the motion on or about July 28, 2006.
Intelli-Check 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 Intelli-Check’s
opposition to defendants' motion and defendants’ reply to the opposition. As of
March 2008, the Court has not scheduled a hearing date for either motion and
there is no trial date pending.
Intelli-Check
is not aware of any infringement by its products or technology on the
proprietary rights of others.
Other
than as set forth above, Intelli-Check is not currently involved in any legal
or
regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to
have
a material adverse effect on its business.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENT - BUSINESS COMBINATION
On
November 20, 2007, the Company and Mobilisa, Inc., a private company that is
a
leader in identity systems and mobile and wireless technologies, entered into
a
merger agreement pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelli-Check
would merger with and into Mobilisa, resulting in Mobilisa becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary. At a special meeting of stockholders held on March
14,
2008, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the merger, as well as to
amend Intelli-Check’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized
shares of common stock and to increase the number of shares issuable under
our
2006 Equity Incentive Plan by 3,000,000. The Company was renamed
Intelli-Check-Mobilisa, Inc. The headquarters of Intelli-Check was moved to
Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend, Washington.
The
former shareholders of Mobilisa received a number of shares of Intelli-Check
common stock such that they will own 50% of the common stock of the combined
company. Mobilisa option holders will also exchange their options for
Intelli-Check options. The combination is anticipated to be structured as a
“tax-free reorganization” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. The aggregate value of the purchase consideration is equal
to
$50,722,000, based on the closing price of our common stock on November 20,
2007.
The
Company intends to account for the transaction under the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Under this
accounting method, based on its preliminary assessment, the Company will record
as its cost, the assets of Mobilisa, less the liabilities assumed, with the
excess of such cost over the estimated fair value of such net assets (including
identifiable intangibles) reflected as goodwill. Additionally, certain costs
directly related to the transaction will be reflected as additional purchase
price in excess of net assets acquired. The Company’s results of operations will
include the operations of Mobilisa from the closing date of the transaction.
As
of December 31, 2007, the Company had incurred $208,000 reflected on the balance
sheet as Deferred Acquisition Costs.
In
addition, on March 14, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with Dr. Ludlow, pursuant to which Dr. Ludlow was appointed the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer. Dr. Ludlow will receive a salary of $220,000 per year, be
granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on March
20, 2008 that will be immediately exercisable at a price per share equal to
the
fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and an
annual bonus based on reasonable objectives established by the Company’s Board
of Directors. Dr. Ludlow will be entitled to receive benefits in accordance
with
the Company’s existing benefit policies and will be reimbursed for company
expenses in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies. The
employment agreement has a term of two years. Dr. Ludlow may terminate the
agreement at any time on 60 days prior written notice to the Company. In
addition, the Company or Dr. Ludlow may terminate the employment agreement
immediately for cause, as described in the employment agreement. If the Company
terminates the agreement without cause, Dr. Ludlow will be entitled to severance
equal to one year of his base salary, in addition to salary already earned.
If
Dr. Ludlow terminates the agreement for cause, Dr. Ludlow will be entitled
to
receive a payment equal to $50,000, in addition to salary already
earned.
