PART I
Item 1. Business
Unless otherwise stated all amounts in Part I through Part IV are stated in thousands (“000s”).
General
Communication Intelligence Corporation (the “Company” or “CIC”) was incorporated in Delaware in October 1986. CIC is a leading supplier of electronic signature products and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification. CIC enables companies to achieve truly paperless workflow in their electronic business processes by providing multiple signature technologies across virtually all applications. CIC’s solutions are available both in software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) and on-premise delivery models and afford “straight-through-processing,” which can increase customer revenue by enhancing user experience and can also reduce costs through paperless and virtually error-free electronic transactions that can be completed significantly faster than paper-based procedures. To date, the Company primarily has delivered biometric and electronic signature solutions to channel partners and end-user customers in the financial services industry. The Company is headquartered in Redwood Shores, California.
For the year ended December 31, 2010 total revenue was $851, a decrease of $1,085, or 56%, compared to total revenue of $1,936 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2010, product revenue was $197, a decrease of $988, or 83%, compared to product revenue of $1,185 in the prior year. Maintenance revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $654, a decrease of $97, or 13%, compared to maintenance revenue of $751 in the prior year. The Company believes the decrease in product revenue is primarily due to the slow and moderate increase in IT spending by large financial service companies (historically, CIC’s primary target market) in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis and recession. The decrease in maintenance revenue is primarily due to due to lower maintenance revenue from four customers that signed multi year contracts at a reduced annual rate.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $4,553, compared to $10,827 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2010, non-cash charges attributable to interest expense, deferred financing and loan discount amortization related to the Company’s debt and loss on debt extinguishment was $2,039, compared to $2,862 in the prior year. There was a gain of $3,136 in the derivative liability value in 2010, compared to a loss of $5,136 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2010, operating expenses, including amortization of software development costs, were $6,105, an increase of $1,399, or 30%, compared to operating expenses of $4,706 for the prior year. The increase in operating expense resulted primarily from a charge of $1,009 related to the accelerated amortization of certain capitalized software development costs, as well as general administrative costs related to management changes in the latter half of 2010.
Core Technologies
The Company's core technologies can be referred to as "transaction-enabling” technologies. These technologies include various forms of electronic signature technologies, such as handwritten, biometric, click-to-sign and others, as well as technologies related to signature verification, cryptography and the logging of audit trails to show signers’ intent. These technologies enable secure, legal and regulatory compliant electronic transactions completed through an enhanced customer experience, all at a fraction of the time and cost required by traditional, paper-based processes.
Products
The Company’s enterprise-class SignatureOne® suite of electronic signature solutions enables businesses to implement truly paperless, electronic signature-driven business processes. Many applications provide electronic forms and allow users to fill in information, but most of these applications still require users to print out a paper copy for an ink signature. Solutions powered by CIC products allow legally binding electronic signatures to be added to digital documents, eliminating the need for paper copies. This allows users to reduce transaction times and processing costs and to increase their time available for revenue generating activities.
3
The SignatureOne® suite of products includes the following:
|
SignatureOne® Ceremony® Server™
|
The SignatureOne® Ceremony® Server™ (“Ceremony Server”) is a J2EE server product that provides the capability to define and manage an electronic signature process within a service oriented architecture and that can be deployed both on-premise and on a SaaS basis. Application program interfaces, web services, notification services, reporting, tracking and flexible XML schema enable virtually seamless integration with most electronic content management, enterprise resource planning or other workflow, content management and storage/repository systems for the automation of any document process that requires signatures.
|
|
SignatureOne® Console™
|
The SignatureOne® Console™ (“Console”) product is a server based offering that leverages CIC’s patented Ceremony® process and allows users to manage and control the set up and delivery of documents for electronic signatures in an easy and flexible way and with a strong audit trail for non-repudiation. The Console works independently from advanced document management systems and represents an intuitive front-end solution for small-to-medium enterprises to rapidly integrate electronic signatures in the business processes. Its principal features include the ability to upload multiple documents for review and/or execution, to select an electronic signature method, such as click-to-sign or biometric, choose signature field placement, manage the signature process via invites and preset email reminders and secure the process with passcodes.
|
|
Sign-it®
|
Sign-it® is a family of software products that enable the real-time capture of electronic and digital signatures, as well as their verification and binding within a standard set of applications, including Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word, web based applications using HTML, XML and XHTML, and custom applications for .NET, C# and similar development environments for the enterprise market. The Sign-it® family of products combines the strengths of biometrics, and other forms of electronic signatures, with cryptography in a patented process that insures the creation of documents containing legally compliant electronic signatures. These signatures have the same legal standing as a traditional, wet signature on paper and are created pursuant to the Electronic Signature in National and Global Commerce Act, as well as other related legislation and regulations. With Sign-it® products, organizations wishing to process electronic forms, requiring varying levels of security, can reduce the cost and other inefficiencies inherent with paper documents by adding electronic signature technologies to their workflow solutions.
|
|
SignatureOne Profile Server™
|
The SignatureOne Profile Server™ (“Profile Server”) is a server compliment to CIC's Sign-It® software and provides server-based enterprise administration and authentication of electronic signatures, as well as maintenance of signature transaction logs for electronically signed documents. The SignatureOne® architecture implements a common process and methodology that provides a uniform program interface for multiple signature methods and multiple capture devices, simplifying enterprise wide integration of business process automation tasks requiring electronic signatures.
|
|
iSign®
|
iSign® is a suite of application development tools for electronic signature capture, encryption and verification in custom applications and web-based processes. iSign® captures and analyzes the image, speed, stroke sequence and acceleration of a person's handwritten electronic signature and can provide an effective and inexpensive solution for immediate authentication of handwritten

signatures. iSign® also stores certain forensic elements of an electronic signature for use in determining whether a person’s electronic signature is legally valid. iSign® includes software libraries for industry standard encryption and hashing to protect the sensitive nature of a user’s signature, as well as the data captured in the Ceremony® process. iSign® is used internally by the Company as an underlying technology for its SignatureOne® and Sign-it® suite of products.

The Company believes that these patents provide a competitive advantage in the electronic signature and biometric signature verification markets. The Company believes the technologies covered by the patents are unique and allow it to produce superior products. The Company also believes these patents are broad in their coverage. The technologies go beyond the simple handwritten signature and include measuring electronically the manner in which a person signs to ensure tamper resistance and security of the resultant documents and the use of other systems for identifying an individual and using that information to close a transaction. The Company believes that the patents are sufficiently broad in coverage that products with substantially similar functionality would infringe its patents.
The Company has an extensive list of registered and unregistered trademarks and applications in the United States and other countries. The Company intends to register its trademarks generally in those jurisdictions where significant marketing of its products will be undertaken in the foreseeable future.
Material Customers
Historically, the Company’s revenue has been derived from hundreds of customers however, a significant percentage of the revenue has been attributable to a limited number of customers. One customer, Wells Fargo Bank, NA, accounted for 20% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Seasonality of Business
The Company believes that its products are not subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Backlog
Backlog was approximately $1,097 and $1,325 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing advanced payments on product and service maintenance agreements. In 2009, the Company negotiated several long term maintenance agreements, of which the remaining balance of approximately $650 will be recognized over one to three years. The remaining backlog is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.
Competition
The Company faces competition at different levels. The technology-neutral nature of the laws and regulations related to what constitutes an “electronic signature” and CIC’s multi-modal enterprise-wide suite of products causes the Company to compete with different companies depending upon the specific type of electronic signature sought by a prospective customer. Currently, CIC’s primary competition is Silanis and DocuSign when the application is click-wrap, voice, fingerprint, password, and basic click-to-sign technology. Principal competition for handwritten biometric signatures includes SoftPro, Wondernet and low-end tablet vendors. The Company believes it has a competitive advantage by offering solutions with a multitude of different electronic signature methods and that enable users to sign virtually any document format, in any software environment, and on any hardware platform.
The Company believes that it has a competitive advantage, including its patent portfolio. However, there can be no assurance that competitors, including some with greater financial or other resources, will not succeed in developing products or technologies that are more effective, easier to use or less expensive than our products or technologies and that could render our products or technologies obsolete or non-competitive.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010, the Company employed 20 full-time employees. The Company has established long-standing strategic relationships that allow it to rapidly access product development and deployment capabilities that could be required to address most customer requirements. None of the Company’s employees are party to any collective bargaining agreements. We believe our employee relations are good.

Overview and Recent Developments
The Company is a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions for business process automation and is the recognized leader in biometric signature verification technology. Our products enable companies to achieve secure paperless business transactions with multiple signature technologies, across virtually all applications and hardware platforms, and that are legally binding and compliant with applicable laws and regulations and that can provide a higher level of security than paper-based processes. The Company has been a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions within the financial services industry and has delivered significant expense reduction by enabling complete document and workflow automation.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in October 1986. Except for the year ended December 31, 2004, in each year since its inception the Company has incurred losses. For the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, net losses attributable to common stockholders aggregated approximately $15,380, and, at December 31, 2010, the Company's accumulated deficit was approximately $107,337.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenue was $851, a decrease of $1,085, or 56%, compared to total revenue of $1,936 in the prior year. The Company believes this decline in revenue is primarily attributable to the significant reduction in IT spending from the financial service companies in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis and recession.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the loss from operations was $5,254, an increase of $2,484, or 90%, compared with a loss from operations of $2,770 in the prior year. The increase in the operating loss is primarily attributable to the net effect of lower revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010, and a charge of $1,009 related to the acceleration of amortization of certain capitalized software development costs. For the year ended December 31, 2010, operating expenses were $6,105, an increase of $1,399, or 30%, compared to operating expense of $4,706 in the prior year. The increase in operating expense primarily reflects the accelerated amortization of certain capitalized software development costs, as well as an increase in general administrative costs related to the accrual for severance pay for three executives in December 2010.
From May through July 2010, the Company received $1,260 in additional funding through the issuance of additional secured indebtedness. In connection with these loans, the Company issued warrants to purchase18,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
The Company closed a recapitalization on August 5, 2010, issuing 6,608 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, in exchange for all of the Company’s $6,608 of outstanding secured indebtedness under an Exchange Agreement (the “Recapitalization”). Simultaneous with the closing of the Recapitalization, the Company also sold an additional 1,440 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a private placement, receiving $1,440 in gross proceeds (the “Series B Financing”).
On December 31, 2010, the Company sold 2,211 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in a private placement, receiving $2,211 in gross proceeds. In connection with the sale of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company also issued to purchasers of Series C Preferred Stock warrants to purchase 98,244 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.0225 per share, which are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock is referred to collectively herein as the “Series C Financing.”

New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part IV, Item 15 of this report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in its balance sheets and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each period presented are affected by these estimates and assumptions that are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible asset impairments, fair value of financial instruments, software development costs, research and development costs, foreign currency translation and net operating loss carry-forwards. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used by the Company’s management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives: The Company follows the relevant accounting guidance and records derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company values these derivative securities under the fair value method at the end of each reporting period (quarter), and their value is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the gain or loss recognition recorded in earnings. The Company continues to revalue these instruments each quarter to reflect their current value in light of the current market price of our Common Stock. The Company utilizes a discounted Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value. Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates and the instrument’s expected remaining life. These assumptions require significant management judgment.
Revenue: Revenue is recognized when earned in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of software products upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all non-recurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's product to function within the customer's application has been completed and the Company's product has been delivered according to specifications. Revenue from service subscriptions is recognized as costs are incurred or over the service period whichever is longer.
Software license agreements may contain multiple elements, including upgrades and enhancements, products deliverable on a when and if available basis and post contract support. Revenue from software license agreements is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all nonrecurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's products to function within the customer's application has been completed, and the Company has delivered its product according to specifications.
Maintenance revenue is recorded for post-contract support and upgrades or enhancements, which is paid for in addition to license fees, and is recognized as costs are incurred or over the support period whichever is longer. For undelivered elements where objective and reliable evidence of fair value does not exist, revenue is deferred and subsequently recognized when delivery has occurred and when fair value has been determined.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s
estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company would adjust the allowance accordingly.

Long-lived assets: The Company performs intangible asset impairment analyses in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The Company uses the guidance in response to changes in industry and market conditions that affect its patents, the Company then determines if an impairment of its assets has occurred. The Company reassesses the lives of its patents and tests for impairment at least annually in order to determine whether the book value exceeds the fair value for each patent. Fair value is determined by estimating future cash flows from the products that are and will be protected by the patents and considering the following additional factors:
|
·
|
whether there are legal, regulatory or contractual provisions known to the Company that limit the useful life of any patent to less than the assigned useful life;
|
|
·
|
whether the Company needs to incur material costs or make modifications in order for it to continue to be able to realize the protection afforded by the patents;
|
|
·
|
whether any effects of obsolescence or significant competitive pressure on the Company’s current or future products are expected to reduce the anticipated cash flow from the products covered by the patents;
|
|
·
|
whether demand for products utilizing the patented technology will diminish, remain stable or increase; and
|
|
·
|
whether the current markets for the products based on the patented technology will remain constant or will change over the useful lives assigned to the patents.
|
The Company obtained an independent valuation from Strategic Equity Group of the carrying value of its patents as of December 31, 2005. The Company believes that the biometric market potential identified in current year market research has improved over the data used to validate the carrying value of the Company’s patents at the end of 2005. Management updated this analysis at December 31, 2010 and believes that that no impairment of the carrying value of the patents exists at December 31, 2010.
Customer Base: To date, the Company's electronic signature revenue has been derived primarily from financial service industry end-users and from resellers and channel partners serving the financial service industry primarily in North America, the ASEAN Region and Europe. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
Software Development Costs: Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. Under that guidance, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. The costs capitalized include the coding and testing of the product after technological feasibility has been established and ends upon the release of the product. The annual amortization is equal to the straight-line amortization over the estimated useful lives of the software and varies by type of software. The Company generally subdivides its software into product software, server software and software-as-a-service. The Company capitalized software development costs of approximately $772 and $813 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company decided to accelerate the amortization of its software portfolio to better reflect the transition of its offering from being mostly product-based to becoming mostly server and service-based and to provide a closer match with the useful life of the development costs being capitalized. This acceleration resulted in a one-time increase in amortization expense of $1,009.
Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards: Utilization of the Company's net operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. As a result, a portion of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards may not be available to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 of approximately $27.4 million based upon the Company's history of losses.

Segments: The Company reports its financial results in one segment.
Results of Operations – Years Ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenue was $851, a decrease of $1,085, or 56%, compared to total revenue of $1,936 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2010, product revenue was $197, a decrease of $988, or 83%, compared to $1,185 in the prior year. The Company believes the decrease in product revenue is primarily due to the slow and moderate increase in IT spending by large financial service companies (historically, CIC’s primary target market) in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis and recession. For the year ended December 31, 2010, maintenance revenue was $654, a decrease of $97, or 13%, compared to maintenance revenue of $751 in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to lower maintenance revenue from four customers that signed multi year contracts at a reduced annual rate.
Cost of Sales
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of sales was $879, a decrease of $6, or 1%, compared to cost of sales of $885 in the prior year. The decrease resulted from a $161 reduction in direct engineering costs due to the absence of development contract services revenue, offset by an increase in amortization of $110 related to previously capitalized software development costs associated with the Company’s product and maintenance revenue and a $45 increase in third party tablet costs.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2010, research and development expenses were $431, an increase of $88, or 26%, compared to research and development expenses of $343 in the prior year. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, outside engineering as required, maintenance items, and allocated facility expenses. The most significant factor contributing to the increase in these expenses was a charge of $1,009 related to the acceleration of certain capitalized software development costs. For the year ended December 31, 2010, total research and development expenses, before capitalization of software development costs and other allocations were $1,396, a decrease of $265, or 16%, compared to $1,661 of total research and development expenses before capitalization of software development costs and other allocations in the prior year. In 2010, a senior level engineer was transferred to sales and marketing in the position of sales engineer. The transfer resulted in a reduction of total engineering expense before allocations. Research and development expenses before capitalization of software development costs, as well as the amounts to be capitalized on future product development, are expected to remain consistent with the 2010 amount in the near term.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2010, sales and marketing expenses were $1,531, an increase of $30, or 2%, compared to sales and marketing expenses of $1,501 in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $199, or 28%, in salary and related expenses, which was the result of the Company’s employees returning to full salary in January 2010 following a six-month period in which the compensation of the Company’s employees had been reduced by 14% under the terms of a salary reduction plan agreed to by the Company's employees in June 2009, and an increase in head count of one senior level sales engineer transferred from engineering. General marketing expenses were $625, a decrease of $169, or 21%, from general marketing expenses of $794 in the prior year. This reduction was primarily due to decreases in advertising and promotion, commissions and allocated charges from engineering for sales support.
12
General and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses were $2,255, an increase of $278, or 14%, from general and administrative expenses of $1,977 in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $167, or 19%, in salaries and related expenses as a result of the Company’s employees returning to full salary in January 2010 following a six-month period in which the compensation of the Company’s employees had been reduced by 14% under the terms of a salary reduction plan as discussed above, and an accrual for severance pay for three senior level executives who resigned in December 2010. Other general and administrative expenses increased $111, or 15%, due primarily to professional services and investor relations expenses indirectly associated with the Recapitalization and Series B Financing and the Series C Financing.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income, net, decreased $4 to expense of $2, compared to an income of $2 in the prior year.
Interest Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2010, related party interest expense was $255, a decrease of $57, or 18%, compared to related party interest expense of $312 in the prior year. The decrease was due to the restructuring of the Company’s debt in the August 5, 2010 Recapitalization through the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all outstanding secured indebtedness. For the year ended December 31, 2010, interest expense-other was $8, a decrease of $35, or 81%, compared to interest expense-other of $43 in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors discussed above. For the year ended December 31, 2010, amortization of related party loan discount and deferred financing, which includes warrant costs associated with the Company’s debt and deferred financing costs associated with the notes and warrant purchase agreements was $1,719, an increase of $119, or 7%, compared to amortization of related party loan discount and deferred financing of $1,600 in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the an increase in the loan discount amortization of the cost of the warrants being issued with the bridge notes prior to the restructuring of the Company’s debt. (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report on Form 10-K.)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, amortization of loan discount and deferred financing-other, which includes warrant and deferred financing costs associated with the notes and warrant purchase agreements, was $57, a decrease of $21, or 27%, compared to $78 in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the factors discussed in interest expense above. (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report on Form 10-K.)
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there was no loss recorded for debt extinguishment compared to a loss on debt extinguishment of $829 recorded in the prior year. The loss on debt extinguishment related to the cancellation of notes and issuance of new notes as part of the May 2009 financing. This $829 represented unamortized debt discount and deferred financing cost associated with the cancelled notes.
The non-cash gain on derivative liabilities of $3,136 resulted from the revaluation of the Company’s derivatives at December 31, 2010 . The Company recorded a non-cash loss on derivative liabilities in the period of adoption of ASC 815 of $5,136 for the year ended December 31, 2009. (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report on Form 10-K).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,879 at December 31, 2010, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,021 at December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to $3,889 provided by financing activities, offset by $2,245 used in operating activities and $786 used in investing activities.
The cash used by operations was primarily attributable to the net loss of $4,159 and the non-cash gain on derivative liability of $3,136. These amounts were offset by non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization of $3,000, a charge to
13
amortization expense of $1,009 related to acceleration of the period over which certain capitalized software development costs are amortized, stock-based employee compensation of $93, restricted stock expense and stock issued for services of $106, noncash financing costs of $291, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $551.
The cash used in investing activities of $786 was due to capitalized software development costs of $772 and the acquisition of office and computer equipment of $14.
Proceeds from financing activities consisted primarily of $1,390 in net proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt, $860 in net proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Financing and $1,789 in net proceeds from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock in the Series C Financing. These proceeds were offset by the payment of $150 related to the short-term debt issued in December 2010.
Accounts receivable were $103 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $124, or 55%, compared to accounts receivable of $227 at December 31, 2009. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009, are net of $9 and $117, respectively, in reserves provided for potentially uncollectible accounts. Sales in the Company’s fourth quarter of 2010 were 34% lower than 2009.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets were $44 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $22, or 33%, compared to prepaid expenses and other current assets of $66 at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of the billings and payments of annual maintenance and other prepaid contracts. Prepaid expenses generally fluctuate due to the timing of annual insurance premiums and maintenance and support fees, which are prepaid in December and June of each year.
Accounts payable were $450 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $332, or 281%, from accounts payable of $118 at December 31, 2009. The increase in accounts payable is primarily due to increases in liabilities associated with professional fees incurred in connection with the Recapitalization, Series B Financing, and Series C Financing during the second half of the 2010.
Other current liabilities, which include accrued compensation of $446, were $605 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $109, or 22%, compared to other current liabilities of $496 at December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily due to the accrual of severance pay for three senior level executives and the revised terms of office rent in 2010.
Deferred revenue was $1,106 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $219, or 17%, compared to deferred revenue of $1,325 at December 31, 2009. The decrease is due to primarily to the long-term maintenance contracts that were renewed at a discount compared to the annual renewal amounts.
Financing Transactions
The Company had outstanding debt with a principal balance of $6,608 (recorded in the balance sheet net of a discount of $1,509) immediately prior to the conversion of debt in August 2010 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The outstanding balance included $1,260 of funds borrowed through bridge financing obtained in May, June and July 2010 with the following terms: an interest rate of 8% per annum and a maturity date of December 31, 2010. The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share expiring in periods from May 2013 through July 2013 with the bridge financings. The remaining principal balance of $5,348 relates to funds raised in financing transactions in 2008 and 2009. The funds raised in these financings had the following terms: interest at 8% per annum and, at the option of the Company, interest could be paid in cash or in kind. Warrants to purchase 80,154 shares of Common Stock with exercise prices of $0.06 and expiration date of June 30, 2012, were issued in the prior financing transactions. Upon execution of each financing a debt discount was recorded. At December 31, 2009, a discount of $2,222 was included in the debt balance. For the years ended December 30, 2010 and 2009, amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing costs was $1,776 and $1,678, respectively. The unamortized discount of $1,509 was charged to paid-in capital in connection with conversion of the associated debt into shares of Series B Preferred Stock (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The warrants included in the financing transactions were determined to be derivative liabilities (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
14
In May and June 2010, the Company received $960 of the $1,260 in additional funding through the issuance of additional secured indebtedness. In connection with the issuance of this indebtedness, the Company issued warrants to purchase 16,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The Company ascribed a value of $622 to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount to “Current portion of long-term debt” in the balance sheet. Prior to conversion upon the closing of the Recapitalization, this additional secured indebtedness was due to mature on December 31, 2010.
In July 2010, the Company received an additional $300 through the issuance of additional secured indebtedness. In connection with the issuance of an additional secured promissory note to an investor, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The Company ascribed a value of $60 to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount to “Current portion of long-term debt” in the balance sheet. Prior to conversion upon the closing of the Recapitalization, this additional secured indebtedness was due to mature on December 31, 2010.
On August 5, 2010, the Company completed the conversion of all of the Company’s outstanding secured indebtedness into shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Recapitalization. The Company issued approximately 6,608 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Recapitalization. At the same time, the Company also issued an additional 1,440 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for proceeds of $1,440, net of expenses of $437, in the Series B Financing. In addition, the Company paid approximately $143 in expenses to a third party in connection with the financing. The expenses were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Recapitalization.
The Series B Preferred Stock carries a ten percent (10%) annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, has a liquidation preference over Common Stock of one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) per share and was convertible into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price of six cents ($0.06) per share.
In December 2010, as described in greater detail below, the Company issued 2,211 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the Series C Financing, are initially convertible at a conversion price of two-and-a-quarter cents ($0.0225), which was less than the initial Series B conversion price of $0.06 per share. As a result, the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock was adjusted to $0.0433 per share, resulting in an increase in the number of shares of common stock which would be issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to shares of Common Stock (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible any time after August 5, 2010. On August 5, 2010, the Series B Preferred Stock’s conversion feature was determined to be a derivative liability in the amount of $2,000 of which $1,498 was attributable to related parties and $502 to the other holders. Due to the decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock and the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock’s conversion feature was reduced to approximately $130 at December 31, 2010 (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Fiancial Statements). The Company issued 206 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in payment of dividends for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010. The conversion feature recorded on the Series B Preferred Stock dividends was $30. If the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock is converted in its entirety, the Company will issue 193,546 shares of Common Stock.
On December 31, 2010, the Company issued 2,211 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for proceeds of $2,211, net of expense of approximately $422, in the Series C Financing. The Series C Preferred Stock is senior to the Series B Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and to all shares of Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The expenses were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock carries a ten percent (10%) annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock. In preference to all other shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Series C
15
After receipt of their liquidation preferences, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock will participate pro rata on an as-converted basis with the shares of Common Stock in any remaining liquidation proceeds (after payment of the liquidation preference on the Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock).
In connection with the sale of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company also issued to purchasers of Series C Preferred Stock warrants to purchase 98,244 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.0225 per share, which warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company exercised its option related to the terms of the financing transactions and made the interest and dividend payments in kind. Prior to the Recapitalization, the Company issued new notes in the amount of $208, and issued additional three-year warrants to purchase 3,460 shares of Common Stock at $0.06 per share. The Company ascribed the fair value of $170 to the additional warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the commitment dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company issued 206 new share of Series B Preferred Stock as in-kind payment of dividends. The Company ascribed the fair value of $30 to the conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock paid in kind. The fair value of the conversion feature was estimated on the commitment dates using a Black-Scholes pricing model.
Interest expense associated with the Company’s indebtedness for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $2,039 and $2,033, respectively, of which $1,974 and $1,912, respectively, was related party expense. Amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $1,776 and $1,678, respectively, of which $1,719 and $1,600, respectively, was related party expense.

The Company extended the lease on its offices in April 2010. The base rent will decrease approximately 6% in November 2011 and then increase approximately 3% per annum over the term of the lease, which expires on October 31, 2016.
|
As of December 31, 2010, the Company leased facilities in the United States totaling approximately 10,000 square feet. The Company’s rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was approximately $281, and $303, respectively. In addition to the base rent, the Company pays a percentage of the increase, if any, in operating cost incurred by its landlord in such year, over the operating expenses incurred by its landlord in the base year.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company's principal source of liquidity was its cash and cash equivalents of $1,879. With the exception of 2004, in each year since the Company’s inception the Company has incurred losses. Revenue in 2010

Interest Rate Risk. The Company has an investment portfolio of fixed income securities that are classified as cash equivalents. These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if the market interest rates increase. The Company attempts to limit this exposure by investing primarily in short-term securities. The Company did not enter into any short-term security investments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
Foreign Currency Risk. The Company operates a joint venture in China and from time to time could make certain capital equipment or other purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company's cash flows and earnings could be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company would attempt to limit any such exposure through operational strategies and generally has not hedged currency exposure.
Future Results and Stock Price Risk. The Company's stock price may be subject to significant volatility. The public stock markets have experienced significant volatility in stock prices in recent years. The stock prices of technology companies have experienced particularly high volatility, including, at times, severe price changes that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. The trading price of the Company's Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other factors, quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, announcements of new strategic relationships by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the computer industry or the global economy generally, or market volatility unrelated to the Company's business and operating results.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, begin on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and are incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on that review, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
17
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The Company considered these limitations during the development of its disclosure controls and procedures, and will continually reevaluate them to ensure they provide reasonable assurance that such controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting pursuant to applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria established in “Internal Control, Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal controls over financial reporting are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that our certifying officers concluded materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Amundson, Elenio and Welch are “independent,” as defined under and required by the federal securities laws and the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
Related Party Transactions
Phoenix Venture Fund LLC (“Phoenix”) is the beneficial owner of approximately 70.6% of the Common Stock of the Company when calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3, and Michael W. Engmann, together with two affiliated entities, is the beneficial owner of approximately 25.6% of the Common Stock of the Company when calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3.
On April 26, 2010, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Phoenix Letter”) with Phoenix and SG Phoenix LLC, an affiliated entity of Phoenix, and a term sheet relating to certain bridge financing described below, the Recapitalization, and the Series B Financing. Under the Phoenix Letter, the Company agreed to pay SG Phoenix LLC an administrative fee as follows: $20,000 upon execution and delivery of the Phoenix Letter and an additional amount equal to 2% of the new capital invested or arranged by Phoenix in the offering of Series B Preferred Stock at the closing of such offering. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to SG Phoenix LLC three-year warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share. The number of warrant shares was determined by dividing 3% of the sum of the indebtedness converted in the recapitalization and the new capital raised in the offering by $0.06. The Company also agreed to indemnify Phoenix and SG Phoenix for breaches of the Phoenix Letter.

On May 4, 2010, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement dated June 5, 2008 (‘‘Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement’’).

In connection with Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a second amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement dated June 5, 2008 in order to provide for certain registration rights for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issuable under Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement.
On June 21, 2010, in order to effect the Recapitalization, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement and related documents with its two principal stockholders, Phoenix and Mr. Engmann, and other holders of the Company’s outstanding senior secured indebtedness. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, dated June 21, 2010, the Company and such parties agreed, subject to the terms thereof, that Phoenix, Mr. Engmann and other holders of senior secured indebtedness would exchange all of the Company’s outstanding senior secured indebtedness under the Credit Agreement into shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an exchange price of $1.00 per share.
On June 21, 2010, in connection with the Series B Financing, the Company also entered into the Series B Purchase Agreement with Phoenix and other investors.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Phoenix was to be issued at closing warrants to purchase 53,333 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Engmann and one of his affiliated entities was to be issued at closing warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,889 shares of Common Stock.

Pre-Approval Policies.
It is the policy of the Company not to enter into any agreement with its auditors to provide any non-audit services unless (a) the agreement is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or (b) (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount the Company pays to the auditors during the fiscal year in which such services are rendered, (ii) such services were not recognized by the Company as constituting non-audit services at the time of the engagement of the non-audit services and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and prior to the completion of the audit are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will not approve any agreement in advance for non-audit services unless (x) the procedures and policies are detailed in advance as to such services, (y) the Audit Committee is informed of such services prior to commencement and (z) such policies and procedures do not constitute delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services has impaired the independence of GHP Horwath, P. C. and has concluded that GHP Horwath, P.C. is independent under applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Communication Intelligence Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Communication Intelligence Corporation and its subsidiary (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Communication Intelligence Corporation and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant recurring operating losses and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard related to whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s stock.

1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company:
Communication Intelligence Corporation (the "Company" or "CIC") is a leading supplier of electronic signature products and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification. CIC enables companies to achieve truly paperless workflow in their electronic business processes by providing multiple signature technologies across virtually all applications. CIC’s solutions are available both in SaaS and on-premise delivery models and afford “straight-through-processing,” which can increase customer revenue by enhancing user experience and can also reduce costs through paperless and virtually error-free electronic transactions that can be completed significantly quicker than paper-based procedures. To date, the Company primarily has delivered biometric and electronic signature solutions to channel partners and end-user customers in the financial services industry.
The Company's research and development activities have given rise to numerous technologies and products. The Company's core technologies can be referred to as "transaction-enabling” technologies. These technologies include various forms of electronic signatures, such as handwritten biometric, click-to-sign and others, as well signature verification, cryptography and the logging of audit trails to show signers’ intent. These technologies can enable secure, legal and regulatory compliant electronic transactions that can enhance customer experience at a fraction of the time and cost required by traditional, paper-based processes. The Company’s products include SignatureOne®, Ceremony® Server™, SignatureOne® Profile Server™, Sign-it® and iSign®.
Going concern and management plans:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Except for 2004, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and, at December 31, 2010, the Company’s accumulated deficit was approximately $107,300. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has primarily funded these losses through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $1,879. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In June 2008 and May 2009 the Company raised funds through debt and equity financings and converted short-term notes payable to equity. In May, June and July 2010, the Company amended its credit agreement to provide for an additional $1,260 in short term funding. On August 4, 2010, stockholders approved the issuance of a Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company converted approximately $6,608 of long-term debt due in December 2010 into shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In addition the Company sold, for cash in a private placement, 1,440 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (Note 5). In December 2010 the shareholders approved the issuance of a Series C Participating Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company sold, for cash in a private placement, 2,211 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (Note 5).
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing adequate capital resources to fund planned operations or that any additional funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Basis of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and include the accounts of Communication Intelligence Corporation and its 90%-owned Joint Venture in the People's Republic of China. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in thousands of dollars except per share amounts.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and long-term debt approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The derivative liability has been stated at fair value using a discounted Black-Sholes option pricing model (Note 4).
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents (level 1 inputs), at December 31, consisted of the following:
|

|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
$ | 1,879 | $ | 1,021 | |
Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. This diversification of risk is consistent with Company policy to maintain liquidity, and mitigate risk of loss as to principal.
To date, accounts receivable have been derived principally from revenue earned from end users, manufacturers, and distributors of computer products in North America. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.

1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Concentrations of credit risk (continued):
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company will adjust the allowance accordingly.
Deferred financing costs:
Deferred financing costs include costs paid in cash, such as professional fees and commissions. The costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes or upon early payment using the effective interest method. The costs amortized to interest expense amounted to $218 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The costs amortized to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $425, including $212 of unamortized fees written off due to cancellation of the June 2008 notes in May 2009.
Property and equipment, net:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the term of the related lease. The cost of additions and improvements is capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense was $19 and $25 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization that, in management’s opinion, does not exceed fair value. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets, ranging from five to seventeen years. Amortization expense was $379 and $378 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $379 for each of the six years through December 31, 2017. The estimated remaining weighted average useful lives of the patents are 6 years. The patents identified as "various" are technically narrow or dated patents that the Company believes the expiration of which will not be material to its operations. At December 31, 2010, the net carrying value of those patents is $0.
The useful lives assigned to the patents are based upon the following assumptions and conclusions:
|
·
|
The estimated cash flow from products based upon each patent are expected to exceed the value assigned to each patent;
|
|
·
|
There are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions known to the Company that limit the useful life of each patent to less than the assigned useful life;
|
|
·
|
No additional material costs need to be incurred or modifications made in order for the Company to continue to be able to realize the protection afforded by the patents; and
|
|
·
|
The Company does not foresee any effects of obsolescence or significant competitive pressure on its current or future products, anticipates increasing demand for products utilizing the patented technology, and believes that the current markets for its products based on the patented technology will remain constant or will grow over the useful lives assigned to the patents because of a legal, regulatory and business environment encouraging the use of electronic signatures.

Patents (continued):
The Company performs intangible asset impairment analyses at least annually in accordance with the guidance in the Codification Topic ASC 350-30-05, “Goodwill and Other” ( “ASC 350”) and ASC 360-05-4, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” ("ASC 360"). The Company uses the guidance in ASC 350 in response to changes in industry and market conditions that affect its patents; the Company then determines if an impairment of its assets has occurred. Fair value is determined by estimating future cash flows from the products that are and will be protected by the patents and considering the additional factors listed in Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7 of this Form 10-K. The Company believes that no significant events or circumstances occurred or changed during the year ended December 31, 2010, and therefore concluded that no impairment in the carrying values of the patents existed at December 31, 2010.
Long-lived assets:
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets at least annually or whenever circumstances or events indicate such assets might be impaired. The Company would recognize an impairment charge in the event the net book value of such assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No such impairment charges have been recorded in the two years ended December 31, 2010.
Software development costs:
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the guidance in the Codification Topic 985-20, "Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed" ("ASC 985-20"). Under ASC 985-20, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. The costs capitalized include the coding and testing of the product after the technological feasibility has been established and ends upon the release of the product. The annual amortization is equal to the straight-line amortization over the estimated useful life of the software and varies by type of software. The Company performs periodic impairment reviews to ensure that unamortized deferred development costs remain recoverable from the projected future net cash flows that they are expected to generate.
The capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales. During 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized approximately $772 and $813 of software development costs. Amortization of capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $1,835 and $704, respectively. The increase between periods is related to the Company’s decision to accelerate the amortization of its software portfolio to better reflect the transition of its offering from being mostly product-based to becoming mostly server and service-based and to provide a closer match with the useful life of the development costs being capitalized. This acceleration resulted in an increase in amortization expense of $1,009 in 2010.

Revenue recognition:
Revenue is recognized when earned in accordance with applicable guidance found in the Codification topic, ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition,” ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and ASC 985-605-25 “Revenue Recognition, Multi-Element Arrangements”. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of software products upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all non-recurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's product to function within the customer's application has been completed and the Company's product has been delivered according to specifications. Revenue from service subscriptions is recognized as costs are incurred or over the service period which ever is longer. Software license agreements may contain multiple elements, including upgrades and enhancements, products deliverable on a when and if available basis and post contract support. Revenue from software license agreements is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all nonrecurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's products to function within the customer's application has been completed, and the Company has delivered its product according to specifications.
For arrangements with multiple deliverables the Company allocates consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In the absence of the vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling prices, Management’s best estimate of the selling prices is use. For the Company’s tangible products containing software and hardware elements that function together and deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality is accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above.

1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Maintenance revenue is recorded for post-contract support and upgrades or enhancements, which is paid for in addition to license fees, and is recognized as costs are incurred or over the support period whichever is longer. For undelivered elements where objective and reliable evidence of fair value does not exist, revenue is deferred and subsequently recognized when delivery has occurred and when fair value has been determined.
For each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s sales in the United States as a percentage of total sales were 92% and 96%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s export sales as a percentage of total revenue were approximately 8% and 4%, respectively. Foreign sales are sales to customers in all countries other than the U.S.
Major customers:
Wells Fargo Bank accounted for 20% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010. Two customers accounted for 55% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009. American Family Insurance, Co. accounted for 12% and Wells Fargo Bank accounted for 43%.
Two customers accounted for 66% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2010. Mountain America Credit Union accounted for 49% and Oracle USA Inc. accounted for 17%. Four customers accounted for 75% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2009. eCom Asia Pacific, Ltd, accounted for 30%, Lender Live accounted for 22%, Integrasys accounted for 13%, and John Deere Information Systems accounted for 10%.
Research and development:
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Marketing
The Company expenses advertising (marketing) costs as incurred. These expenses are outbound marketing expenses associated with participation in industry events, related sales collateral and email campaigns aimed at generating customer participation in webinars. The expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $20 and $59, respectively.
Net loss per share:
The Company calculates net loss per share under the provisions of the Codification Topic ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires the disclosure of both basic net loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and diluted loss per share, which is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, 10,028 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, and 135,131 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because the exercise of such options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, 10,231 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options and 16,728 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because the exercise of such options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Foreign currency translation:
The Company considers the functional currency of the Joint Venture, CICC to be the local currency and, accordingly, gains and losses from the translation of the local foreign currency financial statements are included as a component of "accumulated other comprehensive loss in” the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates except for long-term assets and liabilities, which are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during each period except for those expenses related to balance sheet amounts which are translated at historical exchange rates.
Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in "Interest and other income, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in 2010 and 2009 were insignificant.
Comprehensive income:
Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC 220-10, “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”), requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive earnings be reported in an annual statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. ASC 220 also requires that an entity classify items as other comprehensive earnings by their nature in an annual financial statement.
Income taxes:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). There have been no unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations as a result of ASC 740.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2003, and state tax examinations for years before 2002. Management does not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of ASC 740, there was no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Recently issued accounting pronouncement:
In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically, the new standard requires an entity to allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In the absence of the vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling prices, consideration must be allocated to the deliverables based on management’s best estimate of the selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Specifically, tangible products containing software and hardware that function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements

revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards are effective on January 1, 2011 while early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted these new accounting standards on January 1, 2010 using the prospective method and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Had the Company adopted these new standards in 2009, the impact on its consolidated financial statements would not have been material.
2. Chinese Joint Venture:
The Company currently owns 90% of a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with the Jiangsu Hongtu Electronics Group, a provincial agency of the People's Republic of China (the "Agency"). The Joint Venture's business license expires October 18, 2043.
The Joint Venture had no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. It had no long-lived assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
3. Debt:
Immediately prior to the conversion of debt (the “Recapitalization”) in August 2010 (see Note 5), the Company had outstanding debt with a principal balance of $6,608 (recorded in the balance sheet net of a discount of $1,509). The outstanding balance included $1,260 of funds borrowed through bridge financing obtained in May, June and July 2010 with the following terms: an interest rate of 8% per annum and a maturity date of December 31, 2010. Warrants to purchase 18,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share expiring in periods from May 2013 through July 2013 were issued with the bridge financings. The remaining principal balance of $5,348 relates to funds raised in financing transactions in 2008 and 2009. The funds raised in these financings had the following terms: interest at 8% per annum and, at the option of the Company, interest could be paid in cash or in kind. Warrants to purchase 80,154 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 and an expiration date of June 30, 2012 were issued in the financing transactions. Upon execution of each financing a debt discount was recorded. At December 31, 2009, a discount of $2,222 was included in the debt balance. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing costs was $1,776 and $1,678, respectively. The unamortized discount of $1,509 was charged to paid-in capital in connection with conversion of the associated debt into shares of Series B Preferred Stock (Note 7). The warrants included in the financing transactions were determined to be derivative liabilities (Note 4).
In May and June 2010, the Company received loans aggregating $960 of the $1,260 in additional funding. The Company issued 16,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $0.06 per share. The warrants expire three years from the date of issuance. The Company ascribed a value of $622 to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount to “Current portion of long-term debt” in the balance sheet.
In July 2010, the Company entered into a third amendment of the Credit Agreement dated June 5, 2008 (“Amendment No. 3”). Under Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, the Company received an additional $300 in secured indebtedness through the issuance of an additional secured promissory note to a new investor. In connection with the issuance of this additional secured promissory note to this investor, the Company also issued 2,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.06 per share. The warrant expires three years from the date of issuance. The Company ascribed a value of $60 to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount to “Current portion of long-term debt” in the balance sheet. Prior to conversion upon the closing of the Recapitalization on August 5, 2010, the additional secured promissory note was due to mature on December 31, 2010.
The Company closed the Recapitalization on August 5, 2010, issuing 6,608 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the Company’s outstanding secured indebtedness under the Exchange Agreement.

3. Debt (continued):
Interest expense associated with the Company’s debt for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2,039 and $2,033, respectively, of which $1,974 and $1,912 was related party expense. Amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,776 and $1,678, respectively, of which $1,719 and $1,600 was related party expense.
4. Derivative liability:
The Company follows the guidance found in the Derivative and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity topic in the Codification, ASC 815-40-15. Paragraphs 15-5 through 15-8 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. ASC 815-40-15 provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception. The Company adopted ASC 815-40-15 effective January 1, 2009, and determined that certain warrants and the embedded conversion feature on the Series A-1, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares require liability classification because of certain provisions that may result in an adjustment to the number of shares upon settlement and an adjustment to their exercise or conversion. The warrants were retroactively reclassified as liabilities, the result was a decrease in paid-in capital as of January 1, 2009 of $3,510, a decrease in accumulative deficit of $2,157 and the recognition of a liability of $1,353 during various dates. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature for the Series A-1 Preferred Shares at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was insignificant. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series B Preferred Shares on the initial valuation date was approximately $2.0 million. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series B Preferred Shares at December 31, 2010 was approximately $130 (Note 7). The fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series C Preferred Shares on the initial valuation date, December 31, 2010, was approximately $179.
The Company issued additional warrants to purchase 30,405 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2010, including 18,000 in connection with bridge financing, 3,469 for paid in-kind interest and 8,936 for services related to the Recapitalization and Purchase Agreements (Note 7). The issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares resulted in an increase in the liability of $179. The derivative liabilities were adjusted to fair value as of December 31, 2010, resulting in a decrease in the liability and other expense of $3,136 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The ending derivative liability balance at December 31, 2010 was $499.
The Company uses a discounted Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of its preferred share and warrant liabilities. Key assumptions used to apply these models are as follows:

4. Derivative liability (continued):
The fair value framework requires a categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
|
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
|
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
|
There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents (level 1) and the above mentioned derivative liability as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Changes in the fair value of the level 3 derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2010, are as follows:

5. Stockholders' equity (continued):
In April 1999, the Company adopted and in June 1999, the shareholders approved the 1999 Option Plan. Incentive and non-qualified options under the 1999 Option Plan were granted to employees, officers, and consultants of the Company. The 1999 Option Plan expired in April 2009 (options outstanding under that plan are not effected by its expiration). There were 4,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Option Plan. The options had a seven year term and generally vested quarterly over three years. As of December 31, 2010, 2,153 plan options were outstanding and 2,153 plan options were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.61 per share.
The Company has issued options under individual plans to its employees and directors. The individual plan options generally vest over four years or pro rata quarterly over three years. Non-plan options are generally exercisable over a period not to exceed seven years. As of December 31, 2010, 4,130 non-plan options were outstanding and 3,790 non-plan options were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.44 per share.
Share-based payment:
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instrument in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award.
Share-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. ASC 718 requires forfeitures of share-based payment awards to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rates for the year ended December 31, 2010, was approximately 24%.
ASC 718 requires the cash flows from tax benefits for deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized for share-based payment awards to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s loss position, there were no such tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Valuation and Expense Information under ASC 718:
The weighted-average fair value of stock-based compensation is based on the single option valuation approach. Forfeitures are estimated and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is amortized using the accrual method over the vesting period of the options. The fair value calculations are based on the following assumptions:

Preferred Shares:
Series A-1
In connection with the closing of the June 2008 Financing Transaction, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) each dated as of June 5, 2008. Under the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for the cancellation of $995 in principal amount and $45 of interest accrued thereon of the Company’s aggregate outstanding $2,071 in existing debt and interest accrued thereon through May 31, 2008, the Company issued to the holders of such debt an aggregate of 1,040 shares of the Company’s Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which shares were subsequently exchanged in October 2008 for an equivalent number of shares of Series A-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Shares”). During 2009, 146 Series A-1 Preferred Shares were converted into 1,005 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of December 31, 2009, there are 813 Series A-1 Preferred Shares outstanding. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares carry an eight percent (8%) annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional Series A-1 Preferred Shares, have a liquidation preference over Common Stock of one dollar ($1.00) per share and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the conversion price of fourteen cents ($0.14) per share. If the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares are converted in their entirety, the Company would issue 5,809 shares of Common Stock. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares are convertible any time after June 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has accrued dividends on the preferred shares of $170.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, one preferred shareholder, a related party, converted an aggregate of 166 preferred shares into 1,183 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

5. Stockholders' equity (continued):
Series B
On August 5, 2010, the Company completed the conversion of all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness into shares of Series B Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) in accordance with an executed Exchange Agreement entered into with Phoenix Venture Fund LLC and certain other holders of the Company’s indebtedness and sold approximately 1.44 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with an executed Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Company issued approximately 6,608 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the Company’s outstanding secured indebtedness and issued 1,440 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for proceeds of $1,440, net of expenses of $437. In addition, the Company paid approximately $143 in expenses to a third party in connection with the financing. The expenses were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Recapitalization.
The Series B Preferred Stock carries a ten percent (10%) annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, has a liquidation preference over Common Stock of one dollar ($1.50) per share and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of six cents ($0.06) per share. The Company issued additional stock, the Series C Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at a price less than the current conversion price of $0.06, which resulted in a downward adjustment in the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock to $0.0433 per share and in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (Note4). The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible any time after August 5, 2010. The Recapitalization included a conversion feature determined to be a derivative liability in the amount of $2,000 of which $1,498 was attributable to related parties and $502 to the other creditors. Due to the decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock and the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock the fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series B Preferred Stock was reduced to approximately $130 at December 31, 2010 (Note 4). The Company issued 206 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in payment of dividends for the year ended December 31, 2010. The conversion feature recorded on the Series B Preferred Stock dividends was $5. If the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock is converted in its entirety, the Company would issue 193,533 shares of Common Stock.
Series C
On December 31, 2010, the Company completed the sale of 2,211 shares of Series C Preferred Stock through a Purchase Agreement with Phoenix Venture Fund LLC and certain other investors for proceeds of $2,211 net of approximately $422 in expenses to third parties in connection with the financing. The Series C Preferred Stock is senior to the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and all shares of Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution in accordance with its Purchase Agreement. The expenses were recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock carries a ten percent (10%) annual dividend, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or in additional Series C Preferred Stock. In preference to all other shares of the Company’s capital stock, The Series C Preferred Stock will receive liquidating distributions in the amount of $1.50 per share plus any accrued dividends. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder at an initial conversion price of $0.0225 per share, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events and, with certain exceptions, the issuance of additional securities at a purchase price less than the then current conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible any time after December 31, 2010. On December 31, 2010, the Series C Preferred Stock’s conversion feature was determined to be a derivative liability in the amount of $179, of which $113 is attributable to related parties and $66 to the other holders. If the

outstanding Series C Preferred Stock is converted in its entirety, the Company would issue 98,244 shares of Common Stock.
After receipt of the liquidation preference, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will participate pro rata on an as-converted basis with the shares of Common Stock in any remaining liquidation proceeds (after payment of the liquidation preference on the Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock).
Warrants:
Series C Warrants
Each investor received a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased by the investor divided by 0.0225. Each warrant issued in connection with the Series C Financing has an exercise price of $0.0225 per share and is exercisable in whole or in part, including by means of cashless exercise, for a period of three years from the date of issuance. If the outstanding Series C Warrants are executed for cash in their entirety, the Company would issue 98,244 shares of Common Stock.
Other Warrants
In October 2009, a note holder and related party exercised 300 warrants, and the Company issued 300 shares of Common Stock at $0.06 per share. The Company received $18 in cash.
In late October and early November 2009, note holders, including related parties, exercised 82,557 warrants on a cashless basis. The warrant exchange rate was based on the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the preceding five trading days prior to the date of exercise. The Company issued 58,384 shares of Common Stock, including 52,429 shares to related parties.
At December 31, 2010, 135,364 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants.
Restricted Share Grants
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company issued restricted shares to four employees in exchange for reductions in their respective salaries. The number of shares issued was calculated based on the amount of the annual salary reduction divided by $0.06 per share. Fifty percent of the shares vested on December 31, 2010 and the remaining 50% are scheduled to vest on June 30, 2011, subject to continued employment through such vesting dates. As of December 31, 2010, the Company will issue 678 restricted shares of Common Stock.

A full valuation allowance has been established for the Company's net deferred tax assets since the realization of such assets through the generation of future taxable income is uncertain.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and the benefit from, net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, a cumulative stock ownership change of greater than 50%, as defined, over a three-year period. During 1997, the Company experienced stock ownership changes which could limit the utilization of its net operating loss and research and investment tax credit carry-forwards in future periods. In addition, a study of recent transactions has not been preformed to determine whether any further limitations might apply.
