NOTE 1:- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by INKSURE TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the "Company") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 that are included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2010. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2010. In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" [ASC 105-10]. SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification has become the exclusive authoritative reference effective September 30, 2009. NOTE 2:- PAST PERIOD NEGATIVE CASH FLOWS AND LOSSES During past periods we have incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. In addition, we owed nearly $9,000,000 in convertible notes, which if not restructured and eventually settled, would have required us to obtain additional capital. Accordingly, our previous consolidated financial statements (including those filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the 3-month periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009) have been presented on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. On January 19, 2010, a group of investors paid $2,000,000, together with an amount of $1,000,000 from our sources to our note holders and as a result $6,881,080 of our notes were retired. In addition, on March 11, 2010, we closed a private placement financing, raising a total amount of $3,125,000, of which $2,000,000 was used for retirement of the balance of our outstanding debt, $1,000,000 was used to replenish our investment in the retirement of the notes mentioned above, and $125,000 was used for legal accounting and other expenses and for working capital. In addition, during 2009 we have generated $972,000 from operating activities. We therefore believe that our existing resources, together with further cash generated from operating activities will be sufficient to support our operations for at least 12 months. NOTE 3:- DEBT RESTRUCTURING AND CLSOING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT On January 19, 2010, a group of investors paid $2,000,000, together with an amount of $1,000,000 from our sources to our note holders and as a result $6,881,080 of our notes were retired. In addition, on March 11, 2010, we closed a private placement financing, raising a total amount of $3,125,000, of which $2,000,000 was used for retirement of the balance of our outstanding debt, $1,000,000 was used to replenish our investment in the retirement of the notes mentioned above, and $125,000 was used for legal accounting and other expenses and for working capital. 25,000,000 new common shares were issued against the total amount of $3,125,000. NOTE 4:- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On December 12, 1999, Secu-System Ltd. filed a lawsuit with the District Court in Tel Aviv-Jaffa against Supercom Ltd. (the former owner of the company's business) and InkSure Ltd. seeking a permanent injunction and damages at an estimated amount of NIS 500,000 (approximately $ 134,700 at the exchange rate as of March 31, 2010) asserting that the printing method applied to certain products that have been developed by InkSure Ltd. constitutes, inter alia: (a) breach of a confidentiality agreement between the plaintiff and Supercom; (b) unjust enrichment of Supercom (by virtue of the sale of our shares) and InkSure Ltd.; (c) a breach of fiduciary duties owed to the plaintiff by Supercom and InkSure Ltd.; and (d) a tort of misappropriation of trade secret and damage to plaintiff's property. As part of its complaint, Secu-System sought, among other things, an injunction and a 50% share of profits from the printing method at issue. On November 1, 2007, the Supreme Court accepted Secu-System' appeal and ruled that InkSure and Supercom have breached the confidentiality agreement. Consequently, the appeal that had been filed by InkSure and Supercom was dismissed. The Supreme Court instructed that the case will be returned to the District Court for determining the remedies to which Secu-Systems is entitled. 6
On February 18, 2008 Secu-System filed a motion with the District Court asking that the Court allow Secu-System to amend the amount for which it sued as stated in the Statement of Claims to NIS 25,000,000 (approximately $ 6,733,100 at the exchange rate as of March 31, 2010). The motion is mainly based on the fact that during 2002 Inksure was sold by SuperCom to a third party for a consideration of approximately $6,000,000. Another argument made by Secu-System relates to the profit which Inksure, allegedly, generated from the breach of the confidentiality agreement; this argument is based on a gross profit of $6.4 million according to the financial statements of Inksure for the years 2002-2007. On March 24, 2008 SuperCom (who changed its name to Vuance) provided us with the written opinion of an accounting expert, according to which, the following conclusions can be drawn: a. In light of the costs analysis, SuperCom had no economical profit from the sale of Inksure's shares. b. The consideration received from the sale of Inksure's shares in 2002, incorporates the value of the cash flow of Inksure following the sale. Therefore, a calculation based upon both the sale price and the future cash flow of Inksure is not accurate and does not line with customary accounting standards, since it calculates the factor of the future cash flow twice. c. An examination of the results of Inksure's business activity during the period between 2002-2007, as reflected in its financial statements, shows that Inksure did not generate any profits during such period, but rather it suffered losses and had a negative cash flow, which was financed by bank loans and fund raising. On September 8, 2009 the Court denied Secu-System' motion to increase the amount of the complaint. The only evidence that the Court allowed Secu-System to submit in order to prove damages, is evidence which can show that the reports which Inksure and SuperCom submitted are incorrect. The Court ordered Secu-System to submit its evidence within 45 days. Inksure shall be entitled to submit its evidence within 45 days thereafter. On December 15, 2009 Secu-System filed affidavits of prime testimony on its behalf, and Inksure filed a motion to strike such affidavits for being outside scope of the Court's decision of September 8, 2009. At this stage the Court suggested that the parties will try a mediation process in order to try to come to an agreement, and the parties agreed. The parties are now in the mediation process and in case the parties don't reach an agreement in this process and provided that the Expert's opinion is adopted by the Court, and further provided that Inksure's financial reports indeed reflect its business outcome, we believe that no material amounts will be awarded to Secu-Systems in these proceedings. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In this section, "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operation," references to "we," "us," "our," and "ours" refer to InkSure Technologies Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements". Generally, forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and words and phrases of similar import. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the difficulty inherent in operating an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market, market and economic conditions, the impact of competitive products, product demand and market acceptance risks, changes in product mix, our ability to improve our margins, costs and availability of raw materials, fluctuations in operating results, delays in development of highly complex products, risk of customer contract or sales order cancellations and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement represents our expectations or forecasts only as of the date it was made and should not be relied upon as representing its expectations or forecasts as of any subsequent date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if our expectations or forecasts change. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, related notes and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Risk Factors included in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, or the 2009 10-K. OVERVIEW We specialize in comprehensive security solutions, designed to protect branded products and documents of value from counterfeiting, fraud, and diversion. By creating "Smart Protection" systems from proprietary machine-readable authentication technologies, we help governments, companies and organizations worldwide regain control over their most valuable assets, their products, their reputation and their revenues. We employ a team of experts in the fields of material science, electro-optics and software. We utilize cross-disciplinary technological innovations to implement customized and cost efficient security systems for data and asset integrity within the customer's existing infrastructure and environment. 7
Our SmartInkTM solutions enable authentication and tracking of documents and products by adding special chemical markers to standard inks and coatings. The combination of markers, inks and materials produce electro-optic "signatures", unique codes that are seamlessly incorporated into the printed media used by the customer. Proprietary computerized readers, available in hand-held, stationary and modular kit configurations, quickly verify these codes by manual or automatic operation. By focusing on customer driven solutions, we are able to offer added value through enhanced reader functionality, including high-speed automatic sorting, one-to-many code matching, first and second level track and trace, code activation at the point of distribution and detrimental authentication for debit applications. The inherent flexibility of our technology also enables overlaying the machine-readable codes onto holograms and other overt features, resulting in multi-layered security that is both effective and economical. We are currently developing chipless Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, technology that is being designed to enable low-cost tagging of items. This RFID technology is being designed to permit "no line of sight" identification and to be suitable for a variety of applications, including production floor control, authentication, supply chain management, proof of ownership, and life cycle information. REVENUES We concentrate on developing and implementing large-scale projects. Such projects involve the use of our generic products and/or products developed for such projects. These potential projects are subject to a long sales cycle and the timetable is lengthy for entering and implementing such projects. We anticipate that these projects would involve high volume sales through multiple-year sales contracts. In the first quarter of 2010, approximately 57% of our revenues were earned from one customer located in Europe. COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES Costs and operating expenses consist of cost of revenues, research and development expenses, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expense and depreciation. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of materials including taggants and electronic and optical parts, payments to sub-contractors and compensation costs for our operations staff. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with development of new generic products and solutions targeted for existing and new customers and market segments. These expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue depending on the projects undertaken during the reporting period. Since our inception, we have expensed all research and development costs in each of the periods in which they were incurred Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our direct sales force that have been incurred to attract potential business customers, professional advisors and commissions. We anticipate that as we add new customers we will be able to spread these costs over a larger revenue base and accordingly improve our operating margins. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs related to compensation and employees benefits of our management (including the costs of directors' and officers' insurance), legal and accounting fees, as well as the expenses associated with being a publicly traded company. We have not recorded any income tax benefit for net losses and credits incurred for any period from inception to March 31, 2010. The utilization of these losses and credits depends on our ability to generate taxable income in the future. Because of the uncertainty of our generating taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to these deferred assets. ASU 2009-13 In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2009-13 "Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of EITF" (formerly topic 08-1) an amendment to ASC 605-25. The update provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-25 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The amendments in this update establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. The amendments in this update will also replace the term "fair value" in the revenue allocation guidance with the term "selling price" in order to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant. The amendments will also eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable's selling price. The update will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into or modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 8
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 REVENUES. Revenues consist of gross sales of products less discounts. We concentrate on developing and implementing large-scale projects. In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had revenue of $628,000, compared to $781,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in the revenue is mainly due to lower volume of deliveries to one of our customers, located in Europe. COST OF REVENUES. Our cost of revenues consists of materials, sub-contractors and compensation costs. Cost of revenues was $114,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $79,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was 18% in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared with 10% in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in costs of revenue, as a percentage of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was mainly due to approximately $27,000 increase in provision for inventory losses in the three months ended March 31, 2010. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES, NET Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation costs attributable to employees engaged in ongoing research and development activities, development-related raw materials and sub-contractors, and other related costs. Research and development expenses, net increased by $121,000, or 52%, to $356,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $235,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase in research and development expenses is primarily related to the increase of subcontractors expenses ($179,000) which was partially offset by the increase in the research and development grant in amount of $117,000. Research and Development Expenses included non-cash expenses of $33,000 related to the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) (ASC718-10). To date, all research and development expenses have been charged to operating expenses as incurred. SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, promotion, advertising, trade shows and exhibitions, sales support, travel, commissions and related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased by $4,000, or 2%, to $180,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $176,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs for administration, finance and general management personnel, insurance, legal, accounting and administrative costs. General and administrative expenses increased by $108,000, or 55%, to $304,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $196,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to the increase in the non-cash expenses related to the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) (ASC718-10) in an amount of $145,000, which was partially offset by the decrease in legal and accountancy expenses ($20,000) and provision for doubtful debt ($18,000) incurred on the three months ended March 31, 2009. OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS). As a result of the foregoing, the Company had an operating loss of $326,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to an operating profit of $95,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. GAIN ON DEBT RESTRUCTURING. Gain on debt restructuring was $5,881,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with zero gain on debt restructuring in the three months ended on March 31, 2009. The gain on debt restructuring in the three months ended on March 31, 2010 was as a result of the restructuring of our senior secured convertible notes. FINANCIAL INCOME (EXPENSES), NET. Financial income, net was $5,664,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Financial expenses, net were comprised of: (i) gain on debt restructuring in amount of 5,881,000, (ii) financial income, net of $101,000 and (iii) non cash financial expenses of $318,000 related to warrants to issue shares. Financial income (expenses), net increased by $6,660,000 from financial expenses, net of $996,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase in financial income (expenses), net was primarily due to the gain on debt restructuring. NET PROFIT (LOSS). We had a net profit of $5,338,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $901,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net profit in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2009 is attributable mainly to the gain on the debt restructuring. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have incurred substantial losses since our inception in April 1997. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15,604,000 as of March 31, 2010. We had a positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of approximately $2,348,000 as of March 31, 2010. Losses may continue in the foreseeable future. 9
Capital expenditures were approximately $6,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $1,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. These expenditures were principally for computers and research and development equipment purchases. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of approximately $2,855,000, compared to $1,283,000 as of December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to the replenishment in the amount of $1,500,000, which we received in connection with the private placement financing following our debt restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We had positive cash flow from operating activities of approximately $35,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to negative cash flow from operating activities of $81,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. We had negative cash flow from investing activities of approximately $18,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to negative cash flow of $1,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The negative cash flow from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was due to purchase of fixed assets and deposits made in connection of long term lease. We believe that our existing cash, together with cash to be collected from customers and governmental grants, will be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months. Continuing product development and enhancement, expected new product launches, corporate operations and marketing expenses will continue to require additional capital. Our current revenues from operations are insufficient to cover our long term business plans. On January 19, 2010, we, together with a group of seven different investors, or the Investors, paid a total of $3,000,000 to all of the holders, or the Noteholders of our $8,881,080 of our outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Notes, or the Notes. An amount of $1,000,000 of the funds was provided by us from available cash, and the balance of $2,000,000 was provided by the Investors. As a result of the transaction, $6,881,080 of the Notes were retired. The balance of $2,000,000 remained outstanding as a secured senior obligation to the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Notes. In addition, as part of the transaction, we and the Noteholders exchanged mutual releases, all of our Series B-1 and Series B-2 Warrants issued in the names of the Noteholders, which were exercisable for an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock, were cancelled, and our Series A Warrants issued in the name of one of the Noteholders, which were exercisable for an aggregate of 3,570,337 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, were amended, such that they may be exercised for an aggregate of 2,183,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. On March 11, 2010, we closed a private placement financing, raising a total amount of $3,125,000 from twenty different accredited investors, or the New Investors. In connection with the private placement, we issued to the New Investors a total of 25,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.125 per share. We used the proceeds from the private placement to retire all of our remaining outstanding notes. An additional $1,000,000 of the proceeds was used to replenish the $1,000,000 used by us in connection with the January 19, 2010 purchase of the Notes. The balance of the private placement proceeds of $125,000 was used to pay the legal and other costs of the private placement and the Notes repurchase, and for working capital purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, we granted to our employees, directors and officers new stock options to purchase up to 4,520,000 shares of our common stock in cancellation and replacement of substantially all of their then existing stock option grants. In addition, we granted to certain directors and to our new Chief Executive Officer stock options to purchase up to 1,100,00 shares of our common stock. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our existing products and systems and introduce new commercially viable products and systems addressing the demands of the evolving markets for brand and document protection. As part of the product development process, we work closely with current and potential customers, distribution channels and leaders in certain industry segments to identify market needs and define appropriate product specifications. Our employees also participate in industry forums in order to stay informed about the latest industry developments. With respect to the RFID technology we are developing, we have filed five patent families related to various aspects of the RFID technology. Two of our patent families have already matured into patents granted in the following jurisdictions: United States (US6,819,244 and US6,997,388), France, Germany, Switzerland and United Kingdom (EP1374156 and EP1599831). Our third patent family has matured into a patent granted in the United States (US6,922,146) and France, Germany Switzerland, United Kingdom (EP1618516), while EP divisional application (EP2037397) is still being examined in Europe. Regarding our fourth patent family, we have filed an International Patent Application (PCT). In addition, during 2008, we filed an International Patent Application (PCT) relating to our fifth patent family. 10
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS Our contractual obligations and commitments at March 31, 2010 principally include obligations associated with operating lease obligations and the lease of several automobiles. Our total future obligation is approximately $91,000 until September, 2011. We expect to finance these contractual commitments from cash on hand and cash generated from operations. During 2007-2009 and through March 31, 2010, we received a governmental research and development grant of approximately $1,834,000 from the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel, or the OCS. This royalties-bearing research and development grant partially covers our innovative research and development project expenses. Royalties would become due to OCS only if the RFID research and development project funded by the grant is successfully commercialized and results in sales revenues based on the know-how developed during the RFID project. The royalty rate is 3%-4% of the sales revenues based on the RFID research and development project funded by the grant, and is capped at the grant amount actually received from the OCS plus interest. We have no assurance that the RFID project or commercialization plan will be successful. 11
