Business
 
OVERVIEW
 
We were originally incorporated in the state of New York in 1994.  In August 1999, we reincorporated in Delaware.  On March 14, 2008, our corporation was renamed Intelli-Check - Mobilisa, Inc. after the consummation of the merger with Mobilisa, Inc. (“Mobilisa”) as detailed in Recent Developments below (references to “Intelli-Check” in this annual report refer to the Company prior to the merger with Mobilisa).  On October 27, 2009, we made a further change in our name to Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (“Intellicheck Mobilisa,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”).  Our headquarters is in Port Townsend, Washington, an area designated by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a Historically Underutilized Business Zone ("HUBZone").  Our primary businesses include commercial applications of identity card reading and verification, government sales of defense security and identity card applications, and the development of wireless communications applications with an emphasis in Wireless over Water® (“WOW”™) applications.
 
 Our technologies address 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 use fraudulent identification cards as proof of identity;
 
 
§
Instant Credit Card Approval  retail stores use our technology to scan a Drivers License at a kiosk or at the Point Of Sale (POS) and send the information to a credit card underwriter to get instant approval for a loyalty-branded credit card.  This technique protects consumer data and is significantly more likely to result in a completed transaction compared to in-store personnel asking customers to fill out a paper form;
 
 
§
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;
 
 
§
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;
 
 
§
Marine Environment Communications – our 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). We are currently developing Floating Area Network® (“FAN TM”) and Littoral Sensor Grid technology as the next evolutionary step in marine communications; and
 
 
§
Wireless Network Design and Hazard Assessment – our AIRchitect® tool designs optimum wireless networks based on user parameters and location architecture, and our Radiation Hazard (RADHAZ) tool identifies and assesses radio frequency (RF) exposure.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On November 20, 2007, the Company and Mobilisa, entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary would merge with and into Mobilisa, resulting in Mobilisa becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). 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.  At the closing of the Merger, our corporation was renamed Intelli-Check – Mobilisa, Inc. and our headquarters were moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend, Washington.

In the Merger, the former shareholders of Mobilisa received a number of shares of Intelli-Check common stock such that they owned 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 was equal to $50,722,000, based on the closing price of our common stock on November 20, 2007, the date of the merger agreement.

We accounted 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 recorded 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 are reflected as additional purchase price in excess of net assets acquired. Our results of operations include the operations of Mobilisa after March 14, 2008.
 
Mobilisa, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Washington in March 2001.  Mobilisa was designated as a woman- and veteran-owned, small business.

On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Positive Access Corporation, a developer of driver license reading technology. The acquisition of Positive Access, which has an extensive distribution network, will enable the Company to offer more products to more customers. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.   The results of Positive Access Corporation’s operations have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from September 1, 2009.  The acquisition expands the Company’s technology portfolio and related product offerings.
 
IDENTITY CARD READING AND VERIFICATION SECTOR
 
Background on Identification Documentation
 
Driver license
 
The driver license is the most widely used form of government issued photo identification in North America. 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. Our technology can read the data on all currently encoded driver licenses (even those that do not comply with the AAMVA/ANSI/ISO standards).  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 jurisdictions currently not encoding begin issuing encoded documents, and the remaining Canadian jurisdictions begin to issue encoded documents to meet the mandates put forth in the Real ID Act and U.S. jurisdictions that have recently begun to encode complete their issuance cycle.
 
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.

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, 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.
 
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;
 
§
purchasing age restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco while under age;
         
§
improperly boarding airplanes;
 
§
committing employee fraud, including employee theft and payroll theft;
         
§
committing credit card, debit card and check cashing fraud;
 
§
engaging in medical fraud;
         
§
unlawfully committing pharmacy fraud, including false narcotic prescriptions;
 
§
obtaining welfare or other government benefits; and
         
§
gaining entrance to high profile buildings and sensitive infrastructures, such as nuclear facilities;
 
§
committing refund fraud.
         
§
illegally purchasing firearms;
     

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 patented 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.  We believe that we are the only company able to do this for all U.S. jurisdictions and that no other company could provide a similar service without infringing on our patents.

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
 
Our Products and Services can be categorized into three main areas:  (1) Commercial Identification, (2) Defense Security, and (3) Wireless Communications.
 
Commercial Identification Products and Services
 
ID√Check® Family — Solutions and Benefits
 
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”).
 
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.  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
 
 
§
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.
 
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, and certain versions of Linux. It can easily be ported to other platforms as the need arises.  While we will continue to support certain partners under existing agreements, we will no longer be pursuing sales of our ID√Check SDK as we move our revenue model towards selling application solutions directly to the end user.

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.
 
Instant Credit Application Kiosk Software Applications

These are custom software applications that Intellicheck Mobilisa has developed for a variety of major financial service companies and retail stores.  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
 
All of the ID√Check products may be updated as states and provinces adjust or modify the format of their electronically stored information.  We distribute jurisdictional updates 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa products for the first year after purchase.  We sell upgrade packages for the period commencing after the first year of purchase.  We have also 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.

Defense Security Products and Services

Defense ID® System

Our 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 and desktop visitor/vendor approval workstations 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 100 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.  In 2008, our Defense ID System received a U.S. Navy-wide certification and accreditation referred to as an Authority to Operate (“ATO”), and in 2009, our Defense ID System received U.S. Army-wide, U.S. Marine Corps-wide and U.S. Air Force-wide ATO’s.  We believe these ATO’s will facilitate further deployment of the Defense ID System at military bases and facilities.

TWIC Reader (IM 2700)

One of the first readers on the Department of Homeland Security’s Initial Capabilities List of devices, the IM2700 verifies the Character Unique Identifier, Certificates of Authenticity, Biometrics and Personal Indentify Number on the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (“TWIC”).  The TWIC reader can also be incorporated into all aspects of the Defense ID System.  The Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) regulations required that all workers at ports must have a card by April 15, 2009.

Visitor Center (IM 3000)

The Visitor Center is a component of our Defense ID system.  The desktop computer performs a real time background check utilizing over 100 databases to verify the individual is not on a wanted list and also if the individual has been pre approved to access the facility or building.
 
Upgrade Capability

Like our ID√Check products, our Defense ID products are constantly updated to stay current with identification formats and new forms of ID.  In addition, we continuously update the databases related to lost or stolen cards, watch lists and law enforcement database updates, and authorized rosters of cleared personnel.  Our Defense ID Systems are maintained via annual subscriptions that are purchased by our customers.

Wireless Communications Products and Services

Wireless Over Water® Technology (“WOW”) ™

WOW technology was first developed to allow passengers of moving vessels, for example passenger ferries, high rates of data transfer through wireless 802.11 networking.  WOW technology allows users to access the Internet while in motion on water.  WOW was used to develop the Floating Area Network technology.

Floating Area Network® (“FAN”) ™

FAN technology was developed for the US Navy.  FAN utilizes WOW technology to create a mesh type network for Navy Vessels underway and provides an alternative and less expensive communications methodology for the US Navy.  Vessels may dynamically join and depart the network while underway at sea.

Littoral Sensor Grid (“LSG”)

LSG is the next evolution of WOW and FAN.   Using the technology developed for WOW and FAN, we incorporated the use of buoys to provide both security and environmental monitoring.  A variety of sensors measure/monitor anything above, on, or below the water and provide that information real time to an operations control center.  This technology allows for security monitoring of our harbors and waterways both from a terrorist attack or accidental environmental conditions.

AIRchitect®

AIRchitect is a wireless LAN design expert system that is tailored to military ships, installations and infrastructure.  This product uses blueprint drawings in AutoCAD or Visio format and allows a network engineer to optimally design a wireless network including the best location for access points and uses requirements of users, throughput performance, interference, physical structures, and co-channel interference.
 
STRATEGY
 
Our objective is to be a leading security company providing world class solutions in the identity and wireless industry sectors. These solutions include our commercial identity systems focusing on work-flow, productivity enhancement, commercial fraud protection, access control and age verification segments; our government identity systems focusing on security access, vendor validation, and suspect identification; and our wireless communications systems, focusing on wireless networking over water, and wireless network planning.  Key elements of our strategy are as follows:

Commercial Systems
 
Productivity Enhancement.  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.  Our ability to correctly read all US jurisdictions is a key differentiator from our competitors.  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 Corporation, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., AMAG Technology, Inc., in the defense industry; Intermec Inc., MaxID Corp., Metrologic (part of Honeywell) , Roper Industries, Inc. (DAP) and Motorola, Inc. hardware manufacturers; and Digimarc Corporation and Viisage, now part of L1 Identity Solutions, Inc., producers of driver licenses for approximately 90% of the jurisdictions in North America.  We are also a member and board member of The Federation for Identity and Cross-Credentialing Systems or (FiXs).  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 and productivity enhancement by continuing to market and support our systems and software.  Our sales and marketing departments are organized by target sector rather than geographic area to provide focus and create experts in each area.  Our recent focus has been on large enterprise-wide license arrangements in the financial services, retail, and hospitality services industries.
 
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 software product for Windows, Windows CE, Windows Mobile and other operating system platforms and intend to similarly continue to license our C-Link, 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.  In March 2006, we renewed the licensing agreement with CardCom for an additional five years.  In April 2009, the Company and TriCom Card Technologies, Inc. ended long-term patent dispute litigation began in July 2003 by entering into a patent settlement agreement and a license agreement.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, TriCom acknowledged the validity of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s patents, and that sales of TriCom’s age verification products are subject to the terms of a license agreement entered contemporaneously with the settlement agreement.

Government Identity Systems 

Product Enhancement.  Due to the success of Defense ID in the military and government industry sectors, we intend to enhance our product line to support other entities such as law enforcement, port security and commercial installations. We continue our 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.  We will also continue to work with the information technology and privacy units within all branches of the military maintain branch-wide ATOs, and when necessary, Interim ATOs.

TWIC Program.  The TWIC program continues to undergo testing for final rules regarding the reader technology.  We were on the first list of ICE readers and will continue to provide our software on additional hardware platforms to address the unique needs of each port.  We are also combining our Defense ID and TWIC reader applications to provide customers with the benefits of each product in a single device.
 
Strengthen Sales and Marketing Efforts.  As the need for access control systems continues to grow, our experienced sales and marketing departments is adjusting to target new sectors. 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 sectors. We have sales staff and office locations on the West Coast, Midwest and East Coast, which allows a quick response to questions and personalized assistance for each customer based on location.
 
Additional Access to Multiple Databases.   We continue to increase the data source information accessed through our Defense ID system. This is achieved by increasing the capabilities of our 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, we customize databases for each individual customer based on information provided by the customer.
 
Wireless Communications Systems

Research and Development.  Our wireless communications systems program is primarily research and development funded by the federal government.  We intend to continue to pursue research and development projects through funding from various government agencies 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 June 1, 2011.  As long as the 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 receive funding for additional research and development work stemming from projects already completed or in process. We 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, our 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, and we intend to continue to pursue these industry sectors.
 
Our Revenue Sources
 
We derive our revenue from the following sources:
 
 
§
Sales of our systems by our own direct sales force and marketing partners;
 
 
§
Per transaction or subscription fees from the licensed use of our technology;
 
 
§
Royalties and licensing fees from licensing our patented technology to third parties;
 
 
§
Revenue sharing and marketing arrangements through strategic alliances and partnerships;
 
 
§
Sale of software upgrades and extended maintenance programs; and
 
 
§
Government grants for research and development projects.
 
Our Target Industry Sectors
 
Commercial Identity Systems
 
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 industry sectors that would most benefit from our systems and software.

 
11

 
 
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 sectors for the retail issuance of instant credit.  We believe there is a financial benefit and a compelling business model for customers in this sector to utilize our technology.

Government Identity Systems

Our Defense ID system is tailored to locations that validate identification cards as a means of access. Historically, the military sector has been the primary focus, followed closely by the law enforcement sector. Military bases, for example, 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 targets include:
 
Military

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
 
Commercial Identity Systems
 
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 industry sectors.  We promote the advantages and ease of use of our products through:

 
§
Endorsements by nationally known public interest groups and trade associations;
 
§
Web seminars, as well as our own website; and
 
§
Trade publications;
 
§
Various conventions and industry specific seminars.
 
§
Trade shows;
     

 
14

 

As we gain industry acceptance for our ID√Check technology, we intend to develop and market other related software applications.

Government Identity Solutions
 
We have sector-specific brochures for each product in our 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 our technology. Once customers have a clear understanding of our products, they can use these brochures to discuss their individual needs and ordering requirements.
 
When dealing with military and government entities, we must comply with applicable procurement regulations. As a HUBZone, Mobilisa has a considerable advantage in the procurement process. This designation, which is effective until June 2011, allows us to quickly be awarded sole source contracts with the military and government. Since our headquarters is in Port Townsend, WA, the HUBZone designation remains in place and we anticipate that the combined entity will continue to meet the Small Business Administration’s definition of a “small business.”

In addition to sole source awards, we also respond to Requests for Proposal (“RFPs”) and Requests for Qualifications (“RFQs”) when our technological capabilities meet that of the desired system. In many cases, we are the only company that is able to meet the requirements in the RFP, which can lead to a quick and easy award.
 
Also, we have 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.
 
We have offices in the West (Port Townsend, WA) and the East (Alexandria, VA and Woodbury, NY) to fully support our current and potential customers. This makes it easy to schedule and complete installations and maintenance in an efficient, time-conscious manner.
 
Wireless Communications Systems
 
Marketing for our wireless products and capabilities is performed primarily via our website and tradeshow exhibitions, as well as through direct contacts with government agencies. We attend market-specific tradeshows to demonstrate current products and capabilities. We pride ourselves 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 our wireless solutions.

Many of our potential wireless customers contact the Company after seeing publicity about current wireless projects.  Our wireless systems have garnered both local and national publicity, which has been highly beneficial in projecting to the public the Company’s capabilities.
 
COMPETITION
 
Commercial Identity Systems
 
We compete in an industry 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, 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.

 
15

 
 
In the government identity sector, there are several companies, including L-1 Identity Solutions, and Core Street, that are currently offering products that compete with the Defense ID system.  The Government also has a product called DBIDS that competes with our products.
 
We are also aware that Motorola and Honeywell have started offering an embedded driver’s license reading solution on a tether scanner that does not parse driver licenses from all U.S. jurisdictions.
 
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased competition in the age verification sector, and have to date experienced limited competition from companies in the document verification sector.  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.

In the wireless communications sector, we develop and apply WOW technology and believe that our Floating Area Network and Littoral Sensor Grid projects will enhance the Company’s standing with potential customers in the wireless industry. Several competitors have developed technology that may compete with our products. These include EFJ, Inc., Sea-Mobile and Motorola. In addition, other defense or wireless companies may be developing technology that will compete with our current products or with the projects and products that are currently in research and development.
 
MANUFACTURING
 
We do not manufacture any readers or input devices, but rely upon several manufacturers, including E-Seek and Motorola, to provide these devices.  Some of these devices are private labeled and programmed by the supplier to work with our ID√Check technology.  The majority of our hardware consists of commercial off-the-shelf (“COTS”) products.  We rely on a small number of suppliers to provide our COTS products.
 
Our government identity and wireless systems products are created with COTS items that we customize with software and specialized configurations. All products are customized, assembled, and tested in-house and then installed and placed by our employees in the field.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our research and development efforts are mainly concentrated in three areas.  The most significant effort is concentrated in the Wireless sector in the Floating Area Network and Littoral Sensor Grid projects, which are funded by government cost plus fixed fee contracts.   In the commercial and government identity sectors, we modify existing software applications based on customer’s requirements, which are fee based.  In addition, we develop new software solutions and make improvements to existing software platforms, which are funded internally.

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.  In January 2009, we were granted another patent that is a continuation of our patents relating to our document authentication and age verification technology.  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 six (6) U.S. patents, two (2) Canadian patents and one (1) United Kingdom patent.
 
At present, we have other patent applications pending in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as internationally.  These patents cover commercially important aspects of our capabilities relating to the authentication and verification of identification documents, and relating to our Defense ID System technology.  We will continue to pursue patents for all of our new technologies arising from our research and development efforts.
 
We own 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.

 
16

 
 
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, 2009, total fees payable under this agreement amounted to $1,019.
 
Employees
 
As of March 11, 2010, we had forty-eight (48) full-time employees.  Five (5) are engaged in executive management, twenty (20) in information technology, sixteen (16) in sales and marketing and seven (7) in administration.  All employees, other than our CEO, Nelson Ludlow, are employed “at will.”  We believe our relations with our employees are generally good and we have no collective bargaining agreements with any labor unions.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
We have incurred losses since inception and losses may continue, which could result in a decline in the value of our securities and a loss of your investment.
 
We sustained net losses of $525,515 and $32,920,555 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively and our accumulated deficit was $78,107,140 as of December 31, 2009.  Since we expect to incur additional expenditures in line with the sales growth of our business, we may not achieve operating profits in the near future.  This could lead to a decline in the value of our securities.
 
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. 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.
 
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 industry sectors 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.

 
17

 

The industry for our systems and software is evolving and its growth is uncertain.
 
Demand and industry 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.  With changing administration in government, changes in government budgets, and slowly evolving government standards on use of identity products, the government sector is slowly developing.  Commercial sectors have the ability to develop faster than the government sector space, but are also subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk including factors of the economic affects of our customers and long sales cycles.  Our business may suffer if the industry develops more slowly than anticipated and does not sustain industry 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 industry, 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.

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 industry acceptance, claims by customers against us, or could cause us to incur additional costs, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Failure to protect our proprietary technology may impair our competitive position.

We continue to allocate significant resources to developing new and innovative technologies that are utilized in our products and systems. Because our continued success depends on, to a significant degree, our ability to offer products providing superior functionality and performance over those offered by our competitors, we consider the protection of our technology from unauthorized use to be fundamental to our 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. 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;

 
18

 
 
 
§
establishing internal processes for identifying and appropriately protecting new and innovative technologies; and
 
 
§
establishing practices for identifying unauthorized use of intellectual property.
 
We 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 our financial results. To determine the priority of inventions, we 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 our patents or trademarks.

In addition, foreign laws treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from laws in the United States. The failure of foreign laws or judicial systems to adequately protect our proprietary rights or intellectual property, including intellectual property developed on our behalf by foreign contractors or subcontractors may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial results.
 
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 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.
 
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 11, 2010, the closing price of our common stock has varied from a high of $19.45 to a low of $0.50 per share, as reported on the American Stock Exchange and NYSE Amex.  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;

 
19

 
 
 
§
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 stockholders 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 could create a competitive advantage over 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.

Currently, we derive a significant portion of our 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, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Intellicheck Mobilisa derived 36.7% and 35.5% and Mobilisa derived 40.2% 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;
 
 
§
be subject to purchasing decisions by agencies that are subject to political influence;
 
 
§
include bonding requirements;
 
 
§
contain comprehensive procurement provisions that require us to expend substantial resources in pursuing the contract;
 
 
§
specify performance criteria that we 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 us 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 our business difficult. Outright loss of any material government contract through the protest process or otherwise, could significantly reduce our revenues.

20

 
We could be adversely affected by a negative audit by the U.S. government.

We, like other government contractors, are subject to various routine audits, reviews and investigations by U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency and various agency inspectors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Any costs found to be misclassified may be subject to repayment. If an audit or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government.

We have been granted contracts based on our status as a small business in a HUBZone and, in the future, we may not continue to meet the qualifications for such status.

At times, we have been granted government contracts in part due to our status as a small business in a HUBZone. There is a possibility that, due to future growth, we will no longer meet the Small Business Administration’s definition of a “small business,” or that we will relocate all or a portion of our operations outside of a HUBZone.  In addition, Port Townsend, WA’s status as a HUBZone expires in June 2011 and may not be renewed.  If any of these things were to happen, we may be at a disadvantage when competing for future government contracts, which may in turn reduce our revenue.

Our business strategy exposes us to long sales and implementation cycles for our products.

Historically, our primary target customers have been government agencies and branches of the U. S. 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 our ability to obtain government contracts. These limitations, if significant, could significantly reduce our revenues. 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.

We cannot be certain that our backlog estimates will result in actual revenues in any particular fiscal period because our clients may modify or terminate projects or may decide not to exercise contract options.

Our 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, our backlog is estimated based on current activity levels. Our 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, 2009, our backlog approximated $10 million, of which $5.5 million is estimated to be realized in the next twelve months. These estimates are based on our experience under such contracts and similar contracts, and we believe that such estimates are reasonable. If we do not realize a substantial amount of our backlog, as we presently anticipate, our operations could be harmed and future revenues could be significantly reduced.

Long lead times for the components used in certain products creates uncertainty in our supply chain and may result in our taking a write-down for obsolete inventory or prevent us from making required deliveries to our customers on time.

We rely exclusively on commercial off-the-shelf technology in manufacturing our products. The lead-time for ordering certain components used in our products and for the production of products can be lengthy. As a result, we must, from time to time, order products based on forecasted demand. If demand for products lags significantly behind forecasts, we may purchase more product than we can sell, which may result in write-downs of obsolete or excess inventory. Conversely, if demand exceeds forecasts, we may not have enough products to meet our obligations to our customers.

We rely on commercial off-the-shelf technology to provide hardware products.

Although we believe that we can find alternative sources for hardware, any disruption in our 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 we may not be able to meet our obligations to our customers.

 
21

 
 
We obtain certain hardware and services, as well as some software applications, from a limited group of suppliers, and our reliance on these suppliers involves significant risks, including reduced control over quality and delivery schedules.

Any financial instability of our suppliers could result in having to find new suppliers. We may experience significant delays in manufacturing and deliveries of products and services to customers if we lose our sources or if supplies and services delivered from these sources are delayed. As a result, we 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. We cannot predict whether we 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 we may not be able to successfully complete.

Our Defense ID system relies on access to databases run by various government agencies. If these governmental agencies were to stop sharing data with us, the utility of the Defense ID system would be diminished and business would be damaged.

Currently, our Defense ID system accesses over 100 separate databases run by various government and law enforcement agencies. We cannot be assured that each of these agencies will continue to cooperate with us. 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.

Our Defense ID system requires permission from each branch of the U.S. military in the form of an Authority To Operate (ATO).  If an existing ATO is revoked, we would risk losing our ability to install our Defense ID system at military bases.

Currently, we have a Navy-wide, Army-wide, Marine-wide and Air Force-wide ATOs, and permissions to operate at all locations where our Defense ID System is operating.  We cannot be assured that these permissions will be renewed, and it is possible that they could be revoked.  If one or more of these permissions is revoked or not renewed, then the sector for the Defense ID system would be reduced.

Our 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 our products may not prevent all security breaches. Failure to prevent security breaches may disrupt our business, damage our reputation and expose us 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 our products, services and reputation as well as 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 our products, we may receive negative publicity, incur liability to our customers or lose the confidence of our customers, any of which may cause the termination or modification of contracts.  Further, our existing insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover losses and liabilities that may result from such events.

In addition, we 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.

22

 
Future government regulation restricting the capture of information electronically stored on identification cards could adversely affect our 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 us to incur significant compliance costs, cause the development of the affected industry sectors to become impractical and reduce revenues and potential revenues.

We are subject to risks associated with product failure and technological flaws.

Our products are complex and 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 industry acceptance or claims by customers against us and could cause us to incur additional costs, any one of which could adversely affect our business. Because of the risk of undetected error, we may be compelled to accept liability provisions that vary from our preferred contracting model in certain critical transactions. There is a risk that in certain contracts and circumstances we may not be successful in adequately minimizing product and related liabilities or that the protections negotiated will not ultimately be deemed enforceable.

We carry product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate to cover potential claims. The failure of our products to perform as promised could result in increased costs, lower margins, liquidated damage payment obligations and harm to our reputation.

We may not be able to keep up with rapid technological change.

The sectors for all of our products are characterized by rapid technological advancements. Significant technological change could render existing technology obsolete. If we are unable to successfully respond to these developments, or do not respond in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

We are 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.

We anticipate that projects currently in research and development, including FANs and Littoral Sensor Grids, will play a critical role in our future growth. Because these projects are in development and being funded by various government agencies, we have certain ongoing milestones and development targets that we must meet. If these milestones or development targets are not met, we could lose our 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 our revenue.

We 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 we anticipate that we will be able to produce operational systems or prototypes based on our research and development, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. Furthermore, even if we are able to produce operational systems or prototypes, there is no guarantee that those systems or prototypes will prove commercially marketable.
 
Future capital requirements may require incurring debt or dilution of existing stockholders.
 
Acquisition and development opportunities and other contingencies may arise, which could require us to raise additional capital or incur debt. 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.

 
23

 

Because we do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our stock only if it appreciates in value.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we do 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 our Board of Directors and will depend on factors the Board of Directors deems relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s credit facilities and other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our stock. There is no guarantee that our stock will appreciate in value.

Our management team controls a substantial interest in Intellicheck Mobilisa and thus may influence certain actions requiring a stockholder vote.

Our management team (including all of our directors) own approximately 49.6% of our issued and outstanding common stock, approximately 46.5% of which is owned by Nelson Ludlow and Bonnie Ludlow.  By owning this many shares, our management team will be able to control decisions to be made by our stockholders.
 
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2.   Properties
 
Our corporate headquarters is currently located in Port Townsend, WA, where we occupy approximately 5,840 square feet pursuant to a lease that 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, 2015.  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 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.
 
Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

In December 2009, the Company was named a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Eid Passport Inc. The Complaint filed and served by Eid Passport asserts claims for monopolization and attempted monopolization under federal and Oregon antitrust laws, as well as an Oregon state law claim for intentional interference with contract, business relationships and/or prospective advantage.  In connection with these claims, Eid Passport alleges that Intellicheck Mobilisa engaged in unlawful exclusionary and predatory conduct in competing with Eid Passport and others in the sale/licensing of drivers license reading technology and products. In January, 2010, the Company moved to dismiss all antitrust claims and moved to compel arbitration of the intentional interference claim. On February 26, 2010, before the Company's motions were heard by the Court, Eid Passport filed an Amended Complaint. The amended complaint reasserts the same antitrust claims, withdraws the claim for intentional interference, and makes an additional claim for false advertising in violation of the Lanham Act.  The Company is vigorously defending against the lawsuit.

On April 28, 2009, the Company and TriCom Card Technologies, Inc. ended long-term patent dispute litigation by entering into a patent settlement agreement and a license agreement.  Intellicheck Mobilisa sued TriCom in 2003 for infringement of two patents relating to machine reading of identification cards, including driver licenses.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, TriCom acknowledged the validity of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s patents, and that sales of TriCom’s age verification products are subject to the terms of a license agreement entered contemporaneously with the settlement agreement, the terms of which are confidential.  This settlement did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 
24

 
 
We are not aware of any infringement by our products or technology on the proprietary rights of others.

Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any legal or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

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 change our name to Intelli-Check-Mobilisa, Inc., increase the authorized shares of common stock and to increase the number of shares issuable under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.  The headquarters of Intelli-Check was moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend, Washington.

In the Merger, the former shareholders of Mobilisa received shares of Intelli-Check common stock representing 50% of Intelli-Check’s common stock and options and warrants to purchase 2,429,932 shares of Intelli-Check Mobilisa common stock.  The aggregate value of the purchase consideration was $51,321,461, based on the closing price of our common stock on November 20, 2007.

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:

 
27

 
 
 
§
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 high-speed communication between multiple points, both on land and at sea, across wide or over-water expanses, and optimizes performance by making point-to-point systems work as point-to-multipoint, using intelligent routing across a dynamic network topology, and minimizing 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”) technology, which allows ships within line of site to communicate with each other wirelessly at speeds faster than current, and overused, satellite communications.  In addition, our Littoral Sensor Grid technology is being developed as the next evolutionary step in marine communications and port security.  Through the use of buoys, we have created multipurpose systems with environmental and military applications that are capable of having wireless connectivity and networking capabilities, are environmental sensors data collectors and have mobile and configurable plug-n-play surveillance packages.
 
§
Network Design: Mobilisa’s AIRchitect™ tool designs optimum wireless networks based on equipment capabilities, user requirements and physical architecture of location where the wireless is to be installed.

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.

Intellicheck 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 sectors.  Additionally, it is currently being used to increase productivity by addressing inefficiencies and inaccuracies associated with manual data entry.  The core of Intellicheck’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 AAMVA since 1999.

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 may 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 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. In view of the acquisition of Mobilisa and 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.
 
 
28

 

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 SMART chips, and Radio Frequency ID technologies, which enables us to target three distinct sectors.  Our original target sector 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 sectors, we have sold our products to some of the largest companies in the gaming industry, significant retailers, several large financial service companies and military facilities.  Our technology is currently being used or tested by several Fortune 500 Companies.  We have a strategic alliance with VeriFone, the largest provider of credit card terminals in the U.S., several system integrators in the defense industry and 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.  Recent Department of Homeland Security initiatives, along with the regulations arising from HSPD-12, which sets the policy for a common identification standard for federal employees and contractors, and the new Transportation Worker Identity Credential or TWIC card, which is currently required for all sea-port workers, have additionally created opportunities for our verification technology in the governmental sector 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 take advantage of our patented software technology.  Our products include ID-Check® POS, ID-Check® BHO, ScanInnTM and AssureScanTM.  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.  ScanInn is a software application that speeds up check-in and ID verification at hotels and motels.  AssureScan is an application that assists pharmacies with ID verification and tracking related drug purchases.  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.  We also have created the IM2700, or Mobile TWIC Reader, for use with the Department of Homeland Security’s new TWIC card.

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 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 impairment of goodwill, valuation of intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts and the fair value of stock options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.  Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates.
 
We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates.  These significant accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, stock based compensation, deferred taxes and commitments and contingencies.  These policies and our procedures related to these policies are described in detail below.

Valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets

Our long-lived assets include property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. As of December 31, 2009, the balances of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, all net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, were $482,077, $7,445,234 and $12,258,661, respectively.  As of December 31, 2008 the balances of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, all net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, were $464,790, $6,877,752 and $11,736,660, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, we performed impairment tests as described below.  As of December 31, 2009, we determined that no impairment had taken place.  As of December 31, 2008, we recorded impairments of goodwill and intangible assets of $25,799,547 and $6,293,083, respectively.

We depreciate property and equipment and amortize intangible assets that have finite lives over their estimated useful lives. For purposes of determining whether there are any impairment losses, as further discussed below, management evaluates the carrying amounts of identifiable long-lived tangible and intangible assets, including their estimated useful lives, when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, we compare the related undiscounted cash flows before interest and taxes to the long lived assets carrying amounts. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, an impairment loss is recorded based on the fair value of the asset, as compared to the carrying amounts of the asset, such loss is recorded in the period we identify the impairment. Based on our review of the carrying amounts of the long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives, we may also determine that shorter estimated useful lives are appropriate. In that event, we record depreciation and amortization over shorter future periods, which would reduce our earnings.

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (ASC Topic 350). SFAS No. 142 requires us to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, and to write-down goodwill when impaired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment using the two-step process as prescribed in this pronouncement. The first step is to compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step must be followed to calculate impairment. Otherwise, if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amounts, the goodwill is not considered to be impaired as of the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units after considering a number of factors, including the present value of future cash flows, our market capitalization, an assessment of the fair value of the reporting units based on comparable companies, comparable transactions and multiples. The date of our annual goodwill impairment test is December 31 each year.
 
Factors we generally consider important and which could trigger an impairment review of the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill include the following:
 
• 
Significant changes in the manner of use of assets or the strategy for our overall business;
   
• 
Significant negative industry or economic trends;
   
• 
Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
   
• 
Significant decline in our market capitalization relative to net book value.

Although we believe that the remaining recorded amounts of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets and goodwill were realizable as of December 31, 2009, future events could cause us to conclude otherwise.
 
If our stock price were to decrease below $1.00 and remain at that level for a sustained period of time we may be required to assess the carrying amount of goodwill and long lived assets of our reporting units before our scheduled annual impairment test.  If at that time the estimated fair values of our reporting units are less than their respective carrying amounts, we would need to determine whether our goodwill and long lived assets would be impaired. Moreover, if economic conditions continue to deteriorate and capital markets conditions continue to adversely impact the valuation of enterprises, the estimated fair values of our reporting units could be adversely impacted, which could result in future impairments.
 
Purchase price allocations of acquired businesses
 
Valuations of acquired businesses require us to make significant estimates, which are derived from information obtained from the management of acquired businesses, our business plans for the acquired business or intellectual property and other sources. Critical assumptions and estimates used in the initial valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets include, but are not limited to:

§
Assessments of appropriate valuation methodologies in the circumstances;

 
30

 
 
§
Future expected cash flows from product sales, customer contracts and acquired developed technologies, patents and other intellectual property;
 
§
Expected costs to complete any in process research and development projects and commercialize viable products and estimated cash flows from sales of such products;
 
§
The acquired companies’ brand awareness and industry position;
 
§
Assumptions about the period of time over which we will continue to use the acquired brand and intangible assets; and
 
§
Discount rates.
 
The estimates and assumptions may not materialize because unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. If estimates and assumptions used to initially value goodwill and intangible assets prove to be different from actual results, ongoing reviews of the carrying values of such goodwill and intangible assets may indicate impairment, which will require us to record an impairment charge in the period in which it is identified.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
 
Revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable, and there is no future Company involvement or commitment.  The Company sells its commercial products directly through its sales force and through distributors.  Revenue from direct sales of our products 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; 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 to three years.

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; 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 to three years.  Royalties from the licensing of the Company’s technology are recognized as revenues in the period they are earned.

We receive revenue from research and development contracts.  These contracts are generally with government agencies under long-term cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, where revenue is based on time and material costs incurred.  Revenue from these arrangements is recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company also performs consulting work for other companies.  These services are billed based on time and materials.  Revenue from these arrangements is also recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.

Subscriptions to database information can be purchased for month-to-month, one, two, and three year periods.  Revenue from subscriptions are deferred and recognized over the contractual period, which is typically three years.

The Company offers enhanced extended warranties for its sales of hardware and software at a set price.  The revenue from these sales are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, which is typically three years.

Stock-Based Compensation

We are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted.  SFAS No. 123(R) (ASC Topic 715 and 505) 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.

 
31

 

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, 2009, 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.  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, 2009 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
 
The acquisition of Mobilisa was completed on March 14, 2008, and therefore Mobilisa’s results of operation are included in the financial statements for the period March 15, 2008 through December 31, 2009.  The acquisition of Positive Access was completed on August 31, 2009, and therefore Positive Access’s results of operations are included in the financial statements beginning from September 1, 2009.
 
REVENUE.  Revenues increased by 24%, or $2,397,773, from $10,016,806, for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $12,414,579 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The increase in the Commercial ID revenues in 2009 is primarily a result of a large sale to a telecommunications company, including an enterprise wide software license. The wireless R&D contract revenue increased primarily due to the continued development in the FAN and Buoy projects.    Total booked orders were $12.3 million in 2009 compared to $12.9 million in 2008.  As of December 31, 2009, our backlog, which represents non-cancelable sales orders for products not shipped and services not yet performed, was approximately $10 million compared to $11.3 million at December 31, 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 in which period the opportunities currently in the pipeline will develop into sales or if they will develop at all.  Approximately $4.6 million of the current backlog could be recognized in excess of one year.  Mobilisa has a significant amount of multi-year research and development contracts with the US government that will be recognized as the research is performed.  In the commercial ID sector, the actual recognition periods are determined depending upon the release dates by the customer.

GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased by $1,795,814 or 29% from $6,289,416 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $8,085,230 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Our gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 65% in the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the 63% reported for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The gross profit percentage increase in 2009 was principally a result of a reduction in merger related intangible amortization costs which amounted to $718,995 in 2009 compared to $1,163,277 in 2008.  We took an intangible asset impairment charge the end of 2008 resulting in lower merger amortization costs going forward.

OPERATING EXPENSES.  Excluding the goodwill and intangible assets impairment charges in 2008, operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses increased 20% to $8,601,792 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $7,165,800 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Approximately $597,000 of the increase in expenses in 2009 is because Mobilisa operating expenses were included for a period of 9 1/2 months in the 2008 period.  In addition, during 2009 we increased expenses in support of increased revenue growth and shareholder value.  During 2009, we added three additional salespersons and paid higher commissions resulting from higher sales levels.  We also increased our shareholder relations expenses, including the hiring of a new investor relations firm.  As we experience 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 and enter into additional research and development contracts.

The Company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  Based upon this review, it was determined that there was no impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets as of December 31, 2009.  However, as a result of a substantial decrease in the market price of the Company's common stock, reflecting the very difficult overall market conditions in the latter half of 2008, the Company reassessed the carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2008 and concluded that both of these were impaired.  The Company recorded non-cash impairment charges to goodwill and intangible assets of $32,092,630 in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the Mobilisa reporting unit.

INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income decreased from $60,589 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $2,443 for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is a result of a decrease in our average invested cash and cash equivalents, as well as lower interest rates received on investments during 2009.  Due to continued uncertainties in the financial markets, we continued to invest our excess cash in highly liquid bank and government insured money market accounts, with low yields in 2009.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense of $10,000 in 2009 represents the amortization of deferred debt discount on the notes payable to the former principals of Positive Access.

INCOME TAXES.  We have incurred net losses to date; therefore, we have paid nominal income taxes.

NET LOSS.  Excluding the impact of the non-cash goodwill and intangible assets impairment charge, as a result of the factors noted above, our net loss decreased 37% from $827,925 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $525,515 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Total net loss for 2008, after the impairment charge, was $32,920,555.
 
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
 
The acquisition of Mobilisa was completed on March 14, 2008, and therefore Mobilisa’s results of operation are included in the financial statements for the period March 15 through December 31, 2008.
 
REVENUE.  Revenues increased by 185%, or $6,504,898, from $3,511,908, for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $10,016,806 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Revenues from the historical Intelli-Check business increased 12% to $3,950,627 and Mobilisa’s revenues contributed $6,066,179.  Total booked orders increased 76% in 2008 to $8.1 million from $4.6 million in 2007.  As of December 31, 2008, our backlog, which represents non-cancelable sales orders for products not shipped and services not yet performed, was approximately $11.3 million compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2007.  This significant increase is principally a result of $8.7 million added by Mobilisa.

 
33

 

GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased by $4,168,449 or 197% from $2,120,967 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $6,289,416 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Our gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 63% in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the 60% reported for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The gross profit percentage increase in 2008 was a result of a change in product mix.  The increase in margin was principally a result of the impact of the high margined Mobilisa revenues during the year including research and development contracts where the related costs are included in research and development costs.  This amount was offset by merger related amortization expenses of $1,163,277 included in cost of sales in 2008 that are not included in comparable cost of sales expenses in 2007.  In addition, in 2008 there were higher software upgrade fees, software development fees and enterprise license fees in our historical business.

OPERATING EXPENSES.  Excluding the goodwill and intangible assets impairment charges, operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses increased 45% to $7,165,800 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $4,955,818 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Expenses in 2008 include $3,573,099 of Mobilisa operating expenses as well as merger related intangible amortization costs of $123,640 that are not included in the comparative expenses in 2007.  On a comparative basis Intellicheck’s historical operating costs decreased by $1,610,396.  Selling expenses were reduced by $833,454, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $543,043 and research and development costs were reduced by $233,899.  These reductions were principally a result of merger related savings, including reductions in headcount, reductions in sales and marketing expenses and lower legal and consulting fees.  The 2007 period also included a $152,000 death benefit paid to the spouse of the former CEO.

The Company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  As a result of a substantial decrease in the market price of the Company's common stock, reflecting the very difficult overall market conditions in the second half of 2008, the Company reassessed the carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2008 and concluded that both of these were impaired.  The Company recorded non-cash impairment charges to goodwill and intangible assets of $32,092,630 in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the Mobilisa reporting unit.

Despite the fact that Mobilisa had strong cash flows and this business unit has strong long-term growth potential in both sales and earnings, this charge was required because our market capitalization declined to a level below our book value and deteriorating economic conditions that manifested themselves in the fourth quarter of 2008.  We do not believe our market capitalization at the end of 2008 reflected the true long-term value of our Company.  As with similar impairment charges announced by several of the Company’s peers, the impairment was a non-cash charge to earnings, and did not affect the Company's liquidity or cash flows from operating activities, nor will it have any impact on future operations.

INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income decreased from $161,633 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $60,589 for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is a result of a decrease in our average invested cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short term investments, as well as lower interest rates received on investments during 2008.

INCOME TAXES.  We have incurred net losses to date; therefore, we have paid nominal income taxes.

NET LOSS.  Excluding the impact of the non-cash goodwill and intangible assets impairment charge, as a result of the factors noted above, our net loss decreased 69% from $2,673,218 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $827,925 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total net loss for 2008, after the impairment charge, was $32,920,555.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the acquisition of Mobilisa in 2008, we 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.  Mobilisa principally self funded its business though cash generated by operations and to a lesser extent, through cash and guaranties provided by its principal owners and founders. Excluding the $638,000 cash used for the purchase of Positive Access in 2009, since the merger, our business has been cash flow positive.

 
34

 
 
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,008,472, working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $2,257,046, total assets of $25,758,172 and stockholders’ equity of $21,579,141.

On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Positive Access Corporation, the leading competitor to Intellicheck Mobilisa for developing drivers’ license reading software for $1,948,001.  The terms include cash payments of $1,225,000, payable $625,000 at August 31, 2009, $400,000 at August 31, 2010 and $200,000 at August 31, 2011.  The notes payable have been recorded in the financial statements net of deferred debt discount of $40,000.  In addition, the Company issued 608,520 shares of common stock fair valued at $750,001, plus direct issue costs of $13,000.  The recorded fair value of the stock is based on the closing stock price on August 31, 2009, net of a discount of 15%, since the stock was unregistered and is subject to restrictions on its sale.  Acquisition related costs of approximately $37,000 were expensed in connection with this transaction.  The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.   The initial cash payments were funded out of the operating cash of the Company.

During 2009, the Company decreased its cash and cash equivalents by $392,476.  Cash generated from operating activities was $319,814 in 2009 compared to $805,121 in 2008.  This was primarily a result of an increase in working capital requirements to support increased revenue growth.  We used cash of $766,540 in investing activities in 2009 principally related the cash paid for the acquisition of Positive Access and for capital expenditures.  This compares to net cash provided of $1,881,929 in 2008 which resulted from the sales of marketable securities and cash received from Mobilisa at the date of acquisition.  Cash provided by financing activities was $54,250 in 2009 compared to $320,915 in 2008, which resulted from lower proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

At year end, the Company’s excess cash was invested in money market funds.  These investments, totaling $1,316,793, have been classified as cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009.  The Company’s investing strategy is to continue to invest in short term liquid investments with emphasis on FDIC and SIPC insured protection.

Our Company’s Mobilisa subsidiary has a $250,000 revolving line of credit with Bank of America which renews annually.  Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2009), plus 1% per annum. The facility is secured by the assets of Mobilisa and is financially guaranteed by two directors of the Company, who are also members of management.  The Company currently has no bank financing.

While there is no tax expense recorded in the results of operations in all periods presented, we made an income tax payment of approximately $145,000 in 2009 in settlement of the pre-merger taxable liability of Mobilisa.

We currently anticipate that our available cash on hand and marketable securities, as well as cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capitals and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We 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 targets for our 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.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net loss interest, income taxes, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense.  Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP.  Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing Intellicheck Mobilisa financial results with other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation, as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate the Company's operations and can compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results.

Intellicheck Mobilisa considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a useful measure of the Company's historical operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes interest income and expense, impairments of long lived assets and goodwill, stock based compensation expense, all of which impact the Company's profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization related to the use of long term assets which benefit multiple periods. The Company believes that these limitations are compensated by providing Adjusted EBITDA only with GAAP net loss and clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities.
 
A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA follows:

Related Party Transactions

Mobilisa leases office space from a company (“Lessor Company”) that is wholly-owned by two directors, who are members of management.  For the year ended December 31, 2009 total rent payments for this office space were $74,976.  For the period beginning March 15, 2008 through December 31, 2008, total rental payments for this office space were $59,357.  The Company entered into a 10-year lease for the office space ending in 2017.  The annual rent for this facility is currently $74,976 and is subject to annual increases based on the increase in the CPI index plus 1%.

The Lessor Company's entire operations consist of the leased property and related bank debt.  The Company is a guarantor of the loans for the leased property.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company's maximum exposure to loss is $404,000.

Under FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46 (revised December 2003) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an Interpretation of ARB No. 51," companies are required to consolidate a related variable interest entity ("VIE") when the reporting company is the "primary beneficiary" of that entity and holds a variable interest in the VIE.  The determination of whether a reporting company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE ultimately turns on whether the reporting entity will absorb a majority of the VIE's anticipated losses or receive a majority of the VIE's anticipated gains.

 
36

 
 
The Company analyzed its transactions with and relationship to the Lessor Company and concluded that it had an implicit variable interest in the Lessor Company.  However, the primary beneficiary, based on an assessment of what entity absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests, is the common owners.  Accordingly, the Company is not required to consolidate the operations of the Lessor Company.

In addition, the Company’s Mobilisa subsidiary has a $250,000 revolving credit line with a bank that is guaranteed by two directors of the Company who are also members of management.

Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $37.2 million.  There can be no assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the NOLs. The federal NOLs are available to offset future taxable income and expire from 2018 to 2029 if not utilized.  The Company has not yet completed its review to determine whether or not these NOLs will be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to the ownership change from the acquisition of Mobilisa, Inc.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Except as discussed below, the Company does not expect the impact of the future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) as the official single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.

Following the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.

The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification was effective for our third-quarter 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements was limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-reference alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (ASC Topic 320-10-65). This update provides guidance for allocation of charges for other-than-temporary impairments between earnings and other comprehensive income. It also revises subsequent accounting for other-than-temporary impairments and expands required disclosure. The update was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (ASC Topic 810-10). This updated guidance requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE), and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this new ASU.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” This ASU changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this new ASU.

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.

 This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

INTELLICHECK MOBILISA 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa’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 Intellicheck Mobilisa’s executive compensation disclosure.

The Compensation Committee currently oversees the design and administration of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s executive compensation program and compensation for the Board of Directors.

The principal elements of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s executive compensation program are base salary, annual cash incentives, long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options and other benefits. Intellicheck Mobilisa’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. Intellicheck Mobilisa’s philosophy is to position the aggregate of these elements at a level that is commensurate with Intellicheck Mobilisa’s size and performance.

Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy

In General.   The objectives of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s compensation programs are to:

 
§
attract, motivate and retain talented and dedicated executive officers;
 
 
§
provide Intellicheck Mobilisa’s executive officers with both cash and equity incentives to further Intellicheck Mobilisa’s interests and those of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s stockholders; and
 
 
43

 
 
 
§
provide employees with long-term incentives so Intellicheck Mobilisa can retain them and provide stability during Intellicheck Mobilisa’s growth stage.

Generally, the compensation of Intellicheck Mobilisa’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 2009 and 2010 have been and will be paid in accordance with the Executive Compensation Bonus Plan approved by the Compensation Committee based on expected Company performance. No annual incentive compensation was paid to executive officers in 2007 or 2008. In addition, stock options are granted to provide the opportunity for long-term compensation based upon the performance of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s common stock over time.

Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 2009 as calculated for purposes of Section 162(m) did not exceed the $1.0 million limit.

Competitive Marketplace for Talent.    Intellicheck Mobilisa defines its competitive marketplace for executive talent and investment capital to be the technology and business services industries. To date, Intellicheck Mobilisa has not engaged in the benchmarking of executive compensation but Intellicheck Mobilisa may choose to do so in the future.

Compensation Process.     For each of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s named executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves all elements of compensation, taking into consideration recommendations from Intellicheck Mobilisa’s CEO (for compensation other than his own), as well as competitive marketplace 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 2009, the aggregate of the compensation paid to Intellicheck Mobilisa’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers was 96% cash and 4% non-cash option awards.

Executive Officer Bonuses.  The Board of Directors approved an Executive Compensation Bonus Plan beginning with the third quarter of 2009 and effective until otherwise stopped or revised.  The Compensation Committee will review the bonus plan each year in accordance with its duties to ensure that the plan continues to be in the best interest of the Company.  As long as the following named executives are contributing to the overall success of the Company, quarterly cash bonuses will be paid if there is net income under GAAP as shown below:

   
Quarterly Net Income
 
    
$30,000 - $499,000
   
$500,000 - $999,999
   
$1,000,000 or more
 
Nelson Ludlow
  $ 5,000     $ 10,000     $ 25,000  
Steven Williams
    5,000       10,000       25,000  
Russell Embry
    2,500       5,000       12,500  
John Lange
    2,500       5,000       12,500  
Bonnie Ludlow
    2,500       5,000       12,500  
Peter Mundy
    2,500       5,000       12,500  

For the third quarter of 2009, the Company had net income of $109,803 and paid a total of $20,000 in bonuses under the plan.  No bonuses were paid in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Stock Option Grants. The Compensation Committee currently administers Intellicheck Mobilisa’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 of no less than 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa’s management and growth, gives them an opportunity to own Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa’s performance, the executive officer’s role and responsibilities at Intellicheck Mobilisa 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.  Dr. Ludlow receives a salary of $220,000 ($226,500 effective October 1, 2009) per year, was granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 20, 2008 that are immediately exercisable at a price per share equal to 110% of 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.  In the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded $66,120 of stock-based compensation related to these options.  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 Intellicheck Mobilisa.

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.

Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa. 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, Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa 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.

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 Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 Intellicheck Mobilisa 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 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.

A total of 1,653,101 shares of Intellicheck Mobilisa’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. Intellicheck Mobilisa 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.

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 Intellicheck Mobilisa’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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009.  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 Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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, 2009.  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

Business

Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (the “Company” or “Intellicheck”) is a leading technology company in developing and marketing wireless technology and identity systems for various applications including: mobile and handheld wireless devices for the government, military and commercial markets. Products include the Defense ID systems, an advanced ID card access-control product that is currently protecting over 50 military and federal locations and ID-Check a technology that instantly reads, analyzes, and verifies encoded data in magnetic stripes and barcodes on government-issue IDs from approximately 60 jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada to determine if the content and format are valid.  Wireless products include Wireless Over Water (WOW), Floating Area Network (FAN), AIRchitect and Wireless Buoys.  Creating improved communications across water, wireless solutions have capabilities for security, environmental protection and mobile networking.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobilisa, Inc. (“Mobilisa”) and Positive Access Corporation (“Positive Access”).  The acquisition of Mobilisa was completed on March 14, 2008, and therefore Mobilisa’s results of operations are included in the financial statements beginning March 15, 2008.  The acquisition of Positive Access was completed on August 31, 2009, and therefore Positive Access’s results of operations are included in the financial statements from September 1, 2009.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassifications and Prior Period Adjustments

An amount of $1,039,638 relating to the amortization of intangible assets has been reclassified from operating expenses to cost of revenues in the statement of operations in 2008 to conform to the current period presentation.

In September 2009, the Company discovered an accounting error related to the interpretation of and recording of the fixed fee under its government cost plus fixed fee contracts in the Mobilisa subsidiary, which impacted reported operating results for the year ended December 31, 2008 and first two quarters of 2009. Management evaluated the impact that these errors would have had on the financial statements and determined that these errors would not have been material to the financial statements from a quantitative or qualitative perspective for those periods.  However, the cumulative amount of the adjustment required to correct these errors was deemed to be material to the results for 2009. These errors were corrected as of September 30, 2009 and the required adjustments were made to the reported results for the comparative quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008.  In addition, the previously published balance sheet at December 31, 2008 was adjusted, decreasing accumulated deficit by $141,149.  The consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows have been labled as “Revised” where applicable.  The Company will also revise its published financials in future filings, including its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, as applicable.

The following table summarizes the impact of these accounting errors on our previously published financial statements by caption for each of the comparable periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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, 2009 and 2008, cash equivalents included money market funds (with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less) of $1,316,793 and $2,217,641, respectively.

Marketable Securities

The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale securities and 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”) (ASC Topic 320-10). 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 .01%.  The carrying value of the marketable securities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 approximated their fair market value.  Marketable Securities and Short Term Investments are invested in money market funds and bank certificates of deposit.  Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are calculated using the specific identification method.  During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities were insignificant.  At December 31, 2009 all marketable securities had maturity dates of less than three months and were classified as cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts 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.

INTELLICHECK MOBILISA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets include property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets”  (ASC Topic 360).  To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.  Impairment is measured at fair value.  The Company recognized impairment on long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2008.  See Note 4.  No impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2007.

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 method.  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.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (ASC Topic 350), the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests, in certain circumstances, such as the incurrence of operating losses or a significant decline in earnings associated with the asset. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using the two-step process as prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step must be followed to calculate impairment. The Company performs the initial step by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the reporting units, which is determined by considering future discounted cash flows, market transactions and multiples, among other factors.  Based upon these tests, the Company determined the fair value of the Mobilisa reporting unit was less than its carrying amount resulting in a goodwill impairment at December 31, 2008, the date of the goodwill impairment test.  See Note 4.  No impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2007.

Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets include trade names, patents, developed technology and backlog described more fully in Note 4. The Company uses the straight line method to amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (ASC Topic 360).  To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.  Impairment is measured at fair value.  See Note 4 for impairment recognized in 2008.

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

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, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

INTELLICHECK MOBILISA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred Acquisition Costs

In 2007, the Company deferred certain legal and proxy related charges related to the business combination with Mobilisa, Inc. (See Note 3).  These costs were capitalized as part of the purchase price when the transaction was completed in 2008.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable, and there is no future Company involvement or commitment.  The Company sells its commercial products directly through its sales force and through distributors.  Revenue from direct sales of products 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; 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 to three years.

The Company recognizes revenues from licensing of its patented software to customers. The Company’s licensed software requires continuing service or post contract customer support and performance; 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 to three years.  Royalties from the licensing of the Company’s technology are recognized as revenues in the period they are earned.   For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company received $8,003, $8,962 and $21,878 respectively, in royalty fees.

Revenue from research and development contracts are generally with government agencies under long-term cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, where revenue is based on time and material costs incurred.  Revenue from these arrangements is recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company also performs consulting work for other companies.  These services are billed based on time and materials.  Revenue from these arrangements is also recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.

Subscriptions to database information can be purchased for month-to-month, one, two, and three year periods.  Revenue from subscriptions are deferred and recognized over the contractual period, which is typically three years.

The Company offers enhanced extended warranties for its sales of hardware and software at a set price.  The revenue from these sales are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, which is typically three years.

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.

INTELLICHECK MOBILISA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (ASC Topic 740).  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, 2009 and 2008, 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” (ASC Topic 820).  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, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value, due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the long-term portion of the notes payable approximates fair value based on market interest rates applied.   

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 three financial institutions.  The marketable securities consist of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit.  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, 2009, the Company made sales to two customers that accounted for approximately 44% of total revenues.  These revenues result from a research contract with the U.S. government and sales to a large telecommunications company.  These customers represented 26% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2009.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company made sales to one customer that accounted for approximately 30% of total revenues.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had three 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.

The Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (ASC Topic 260).  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.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity awards to employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) (ASC Topic 715 and 505), which requires that the cost resulting from all share based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  This pronouncement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for all share based payment transactions with employees.   Period compensation costs are included in selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses.

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" (ASC Topic 505-50).  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. 

Comprehensive Loss

The Company’s comprehensive net loss is equal to its net loss for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

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 impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, allowances for doubtful accounts and the fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.  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.

INTELLICHECK MOBILISA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) as the official single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.

Following the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.

The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification was effective for our third-quarter 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-reference alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (ASC Topic 320-10-65). This update provides guidance for allocation of charges for other-than-temporary impairments between earnings and other comprehensive income. It also revises subsequent accounting for other-than-temporary impairments and expands required disclosure. The update was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (ASC Topic 810-10). This updated guidance requires a qualitative approach to identifying a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE), and requires ongoing assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and whether an interest in a VIE makes the holder the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this new ASU.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” This ASU changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this new ASU.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Positive Access Corporation

On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Positive Access Corporation, the leading competitor to Intellicheck Mobilisa for developing drivers’ license reading software. The acquisition of Positive Access will increase the Company’s market presence in the commercial markets. The terms include cash payments of $1,225,000, payable $625,000 at August 31, 2009, $400,000 at August 31, 2010 and $200,000 at August 31, 2011.  The notes payable have been recorded in the financial statements net of deferred debt discount of $40,000.  In addition, the Company issued 608,520 shares of common stock fair valued at $750,001, plus direct issue costs of $13,000.  The recorded fair value of the stock is based on the closing stock price on August 31, 2009, net of a discount of 15%, since the stock was unregistered and is subject to restrictions on its sale.  Acquisition related costs of approximately $37,000 were expensed in connection with this transaction.  The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.   The results of Positive Access Corporation’s operations have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from September 1, 2009. Pro forma supplemental financial information was not included as the impact of the acquisition was not material to the operations of the Company.

The total preliminary purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on third party valuations and managements estimates.  The fair value of identified intangible assets and goodwill are considered provisional pending completion of the final valuation.  None of the goodwill or the assigned values to intangible assets are deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquisition of Mobilisa, Inc.

On November 20, 2007, Intelli-Check 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 merge 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 change the name of the Company to Intelli-Check – Mobilisa, Inc., 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 headquarters of Intelli-Check was moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend, Washington.  The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations are presented below as if the acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2007 (in thousands, except per share data).

The purchase price allocation included within these consolidated financial statements is based upon an estimated purchase price of approximately $51.3 million, consisting of an exchange ratio of 1.091 shares of Intelli-Check common stock for each share of Mobilisa common stock, stock options, warrants and transaction costs.  On March 14, 2008, the Company issued 12,281,650 common shares to Mobilisa stockholders.  Under the purchase method of accounting and the guidance of EITF 99-12 “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination,” the fair value of the equity consideration was determined using an average of Intelli-Check’s closing share prices beginning two days before and ending two days after November 21, 2007, the date on which the Merger Agreement was announced, or $3.54 per share.
 
Outstanding options to purchase Mobilisa common stock were assumed by Intelli-Check and converted into options to purchase Intelli-Check common stock, based on a formula in the merger agreement. No cash consideration was paid for stock options. For purpose of the valuation, the fair value of the assumed options was estimated using the Black Scholes model. The vested portion of this fair value is included in the purchase price.  The valuation assumptions used were: expected dividend yield 0%, expected volatility 63%, expected life 2.5 years and risk free interest rate 1.65%.
 
Purchase Price Allocation
 
The allocation of the purchase price to Mobilisa’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values.

The calculation of purchase price and goodwill and other intangible assets as of March 14, 2008 was estimated as follows:  

Fair value of Intelli-Check common stock issued to Mobilisa shareholders
 
$
43,477,040

Intelli-Check estimated the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates were based on a valuation dated as of March 14, 2008, the date of the acquisition.  At December 31, 2008, the Company finalized its allocation of the purchase price of Mobilisa.

As a component of the acquisition, the Company acquired software maintenance and database subscription obligations and the associated deferred revenue. In accordance with EITF Issue No 01-3 “Accounting in a Business Combinations for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree,” the Company determined there was a legal performance obligation.  The deferred revenue was measured at fair value and is recognized over the remaining contractual period, generally from one to three years.

Amortization expense for years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $825,517, $1,293,126 and $6,209, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment

At December 31, 2009, the Company had goodwill of $12,258,661, which represented the aggregate of the excess purchase price for the acquired businesses of Mobilisa and Positive Access over the fair value of the net assets acquired.
 
The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred.  The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using the two-step process as prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step must be followed to calculate impairment.  Based on this review, as of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment.

As of December 31, 2008, as a result of equity market conditions and the resulting decrease in current market multiples and the Company's stock price, the Company compared the carrying amounts of its Mobilisa reporting unit to its estimated fair value, and determined that the carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value.  The Company calculated the impairment loss by deriving the implied fair value of the goodwill after allocating the estimated fair value of the Mobilisa reporting unit to tangible and intangible assets.  The goodwill impairment charge was primarily driven by the deteriorating economic conditions that manifested themselves in the fourth quarter of 2008, particularly as they impacted the Government ID and Wireless businesses. The test determined that there was an impairment related to the carrying value of goodwill and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $25,799,547 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The impairment test requires that the Company estimate and compare the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying value, including goodwill.  Reporting units are determined in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and generally are at a level below the reportable segment.  Fair value is determined primarily using the discounted cash flow method, although market transactions and multiples are also considered. Such analysis requires the use of certain future market assumptions and discount factors, which are subjective in nature. Estimated values can be affected by many factors beyond the company’s control such as business and economic trends, government regulation, and technological changes.  Estimates of fair values were primarily based on the discounted cash flows based on the Company’s latest plans and projections. The use of the discounted cash flow method requires significant judgments and assumptions of future events many of which are outside the control of the Company, including estimates of future growth rates, income tax rates, and discount rates, among others. In addition, the use of market transactions and multiples requires significant judgment as to whether observed data is comparable to the reporting units being evaluated and how much weight should be given to such data in the valuation. Management believes that the assumptions used to determine fair value are appropriate and reasonable. However, changes in circumstances or conditions affecting these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value determination.
 
The Company considered whether long-lived assets were also impaired. As required by SFAS No. 144, the Company compared the carrying amounts of the identified asset groups (including goodwill as required by SFAS No. 144) to the undiscounted cash flow of the asset groups and determined that as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s intangible assets related to the Mobilisa acquisition were also impaired by $6,293,083.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that there was no further impairment of intangible assets.

The Company’s Mobilisa subsidiary has a $250,000 revolving line of credit with Bank of America which renews annually.  Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2009), plus 1% per annum. The facility is secured by the assets of Mobilisa and is guaranteed by two directors of the Company, who are also members of management.  There were no borrowings under this facility as of December 31, 2009.

7.  ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

8.  INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (ASC Topic 740-10), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company has no material uncertain tax position.

As a result of continuing losses for tax purposes, the Company has historically not paid income taxes and has recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset. Therefore, no liability has been recorded 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, 2009.  Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. There was no accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2009.  The tax years 2006-2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets for federal and state income taxes as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

    (12,104,000 )     (12,583,000 )
Deferred tax assets, net of allowance
  $ -     $ -  

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, 2009 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOL’s) for federal and New York State income tax purposes of approximately $37.2 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 2028 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, 2009, 2008 and 2007 is different from the tax benefit that would result from applying the statutory tax rates primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances.

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 6,250,000 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.

The Company did not capitalize any share-based compensation cost in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

The Company has a net operating loss carry-forward as of December 31, 2009, 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 2009 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 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the expiration date of 150,000 stock options for the Company’s directors who resigned from the Board for an additional nine months.  As a result, in accordance with SFAS 123R, the Company recorded the fair value of the extension of $52,314 as a non cash expense in the year ended December 31, 2008.

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.

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, 2009, total fees payable under this agreement amounted to $1,019.

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 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, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company received $8,003, $8,962 and $21,878, 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.

Employment Agreements

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 currently receives a salary of $226,600 per year, was granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 20, 2008 that are immediately exercisable at a price per share equal to 110% of 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.  In the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded $66,120 of stock-based compensation related to these options.  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.

Consulting Agreements

In March 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor relations firm.  The engagement period is for twelve months commencing March 16, 2009.  The agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive twelve month periods unless either party gives written notice no later than 30 days prior to the expiration period.  In exchange for its services, the Company will pay the firm $13,500 per month for the first 24 months of the agreement.  Afterwards, the fee may be subject to change by mutual agreement of the parties.

In addition to the cash fees described above, each month for the first 24 months of the agreement, the Company shall deliver to the investor relations firm 10,417 shares of restricted stock.  The stock will be restricted from sale for a period of two years from the date of grant.

In August 2009, the Company entered into consulting agreements with two previous principals of Positive Access.  In exchange for their services related to the transitioning of operations of Positive Access with Intellicheck Mobilisa, the Company will pay each of the principals $8,333 per month for a period of twelve months commencing September 1, 2009.

Legal Proceedings

In December 2009, the Company was named a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Eid Passport Inc. The Complaint filed and served by Eid Passport asserts claims for monopolization and attempted monopolization under federal and Oregon antitrust laws, as well as an Oregon state law claim for intentional interference with contract, business relationships and/or prospective advantage.  In connection with these claims, Eid Passport alleges that Intellicheck Mobilisa engaged in unlawful exclusionary and predatory conduct in competing with Eid Passport and others in the sale/licensing of drivers license reading technology and products. In January, 2010, the Company moved to dismiss all antitrust claims and moved to compel arbitration of the intentional interference claim. On February 26, 2010, before the Company's motions were heard by the Court, Eid Passport filed an Amended Complaint. The amended complaint reasserts the same antitrust claims, withdraws the claim for intentional interference, and makes an additional claim for false advertising.  The Company is vigorously defending against the lawsuit.

 On April 28, 2009, the Company and TriCom Card Technologies, Inc. ended long-term patent dispute litigation by entering into a patent settlement agreement and a license agreement.  Intellicheck Mobilisa sued TriCom in 2003 for infringement of two patents relating to machine reading of identification cards, including driver licenses.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, TriCom acknowledged the validity of Intellicheck Mobilisa’s patents, and that sales of TriCom’s age verification products are subject to the terms of a license agreement entered contemporaneously with the settlement agreement, the terms of which are confidential.  The impact of this settlement did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

We are not aware of any infringement by our products or technology on the proprietary rights of others.
Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any legal or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
12.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Mobilisa leases office space from a company (“Lessor Company”) that is wholly-owned by two directors, who are members of management.  For the year ended December 31, 2009 total rent payments for this office space were $74,976.  For the period beginning March 15, 2008 through December 31, 2009, total rental payments for this office space were $59,357.  The Company entered into a 10-year lease for the office space ending in 2017.  The annual rent for this facility is currently $74,976 and is subject to annual increases based on the increase in the CPI index plus 1%.

The Lessor Company's entire operations consist of the leased property and related bank debt.  The Company is a guarantor of the loans for the leased property.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company's maximum exposure to loss is $404,000.

Under FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46 (revised December 2003) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an Interpretation of ARB No. 51," companies are required to consolidate a related variable interest entity ("VIE") when the reporting company is the "primary beneficiary" of that entity and holds a variable interest in the VIE.  The determination of whether a reporting company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE ultimately turns on whether the reporting entity will absorb a majority of the VIE's anticipated losses or receive a majority of the VIE's anticipated gains.

The Company analyzed its transactions with and relationship to the Lessor Company and concluded that it had an implicit variable interest in the Lessor Company.  However, the primary beneficiary, based on an assessment of what entity absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests, is the common owners.  Accordingly, the Company is not required to consolidate the operations of the Lessor Company.

In addition, the Company’s Mobilisa subsidiary has a $250,000 revolving credit line with a bank that is guaranteed by two directors of the Company who are also members of management.

The fourth quarter of 2008 includes impairments on intangible assets and goodwill of $6,293,083 and $25,799,547, respectively.  See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements.

Historically, we have experienced lower sales volume in the first quarter of the year.  Due to rounding, quarterly net income (loss) per share may not add up to the total loss per share for the year.
