PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

BIO-key International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Company,” “BIO-key,” “we,” or “us), was founded in 1993 to develop and market proprietary biometric technology and software solutions. Biometric technology is the science of analyzing specific human characteristics which are unique to each individual in order to identify a specific person from a broader population.

 

 On March 30, 2004, BIO-key acquired Public Safety Group, Inc. (PSG), a privately held company that is a leader in wireless solutions for law enforcement and public safety markets. PSG’s primary technology is PocketCop™, a handheld solution that provides mobile officers, such as detectives who are not typically in their vehicles, a hand-held mobile information software solution.

 

 On September 30, 2004, BIO-key completed a transaction with Aether Systems, Inc. to purchase its Mobil Government Division (“Mobile Government” or “AMG”), a leading provider of wireless data solutions for use by public safety organizations, primarily state, local police, fire and rescue and emergency medical services organizations. The PacketCluster mobile information software is integrated with 50 separate State/NCIC databases, as well as other state, local and federal databases. Its open architecture and its published Application Programming Interface (API) make it easy to interface with a wide range of information sources. PacketCluster products deliver real-time information in seconds, freeing dispatchers to handle more pressing emergencies.

 

Effective January 1, 2005, BIO-key International, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Old BIO-key”), reincorporated in the State of Delware. The reincorporation was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Old BIO-key was merged with and into the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, in order to reincorporate in the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). As a result of the Reincorporation, the legal domicile of the Company is now Delaware.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Reincorporation: (i) each outstanding share of Common Stock of Old BIO-key, $0.01 par value per share, was automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company; (ii) each outstanding share of Series C 7% Convertible Preferred Stock of Old BIO-key, $0.01 par value per share, was automatically converted into one share of Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company, with such Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock containing substantially identical terms and conditions as the Series C 7% Convertible Preferred Stock of Old BIO-key; (iii) each option to purchase shares of Old BIO-key’s Common Stock granted by Old BIO-key under any warrant, stock option plan or similar plan of Old BIO-key outstanding immediately before the Reincorporation was, by virtue of the Merger Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, converted into and become an option to purchase, upon the same terms and conditions, the same number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price per

share equal to the exercise price per share thereunder immediately before the Reincorporation; and (iv) each warrant, option or stock option plan of Old BIO-key was assumed by, and continues to be, a warrant, option or plan of the Company. Accordingly, as a result of the Reincorporation, the shareholders of Old BIO-key became shareholders of the Company, and Old BIO-key has been merged out of existence by operation of law. Each certificate representing shares of capital stock of Old BIO-key outstanding immediately before the Reincorporation, is deemed from and after the Reincorporation for all corporate purposes to represent the same number of shares of capital stock of the Company.

 

As a result of the recent mergers, and as discussed in Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have organized BIO-key International, Inc. into three reporting segments: Law Enforcement, Fire Safety and Biometrics. During 2005, the Company continued to integrate the products, operations and technologies acquired from Public Safety Group, Inc. and Aether Systems, Inc.

Products

 

BIO-key® operates in three major segments—biometrics, law enforcement and fire safety. These segments are described below and a list of products in each line is noted.

 

Biometrics

 

BIO-key’s finger identification algorithm—Vector Segment Technology (VST™) is the core intellectual property behind its full suite of biometric products that include:

 

                  Vector Segment Technology SDK (VST) —BIO-key’s biometric development kit that provides developers the ability to take advantage of a highly accurate, device interoperable algorithm. VST is available as a low level SDK for incorporation into many complex application systems. VST runs in Windows, Linux or Solaris systems.

 

                  True User Identification ®—BIO-key’s biometric identification solution that offers large scale one to many user lookup with nothing but a single fingerprint. This solution leverages the power of Oracle for large scale solutions in the millions of users, or uses smaller databases for more modest applications to 100,000 users.

 

                  WEB-key ®—BIO-key’s biometric platform that offers an enhanced level of security by securing the user’s authentication with trusted communications and simple use. WEB-key runs on Windows or Linux systems.

 

                  Biometric Service Provider™ —BIO-key provides support for the BioAPI (a standards based solution meeting worldwide needs, see www.bioapi.org for details) for a compliant interface to applications using biometrics for verification and identification. BIO-key enhances the traditional use of the BioAPI by adding support for CE devices, supporting identification calls and also providing a single user interface for multiple fingerprint readers.

 

                  ID Director ™—BIO-key’s solution for single sign on integration with Computer Associates SiteMinder, Oracle’s Fusion Middleware SSO, and other solutions, utilizing the power and security of WEB-key. This solution provides a simple to implement, custom authentication scheme for companies looking to enhance authentication and add a level of security and audit through re-authentication of a user at the transaction level.

 

The Company’s biometric identification technology improves both the accuracy and speed of finger-based biometrics. The Company’s proprietary biometric technology scans a fingerprint and identifies a person, typically within a few seconds or less, in databases of a million people or more. BIO-key can accomplish this without using any other identifying data—a key differentiator for BIO-key since other biometric solutions may also require traditional token/card identification. BIO-key’s core technology supports user enrollment on over 40 different commercially available readers and in turn can offer compatibility among those readers through a single fingerprint template. We have also added INCITS 378-2004 support to our software development kits which makes our products compatible with all of the Registered Traveler projects, PIV initiatives, and FIXS consortium solutions. We believe our fingerprint identification technology has a broad range of possible information security and access control applications, including:

 

                  Securing Internet sites and electronic transactions

 

                  Securing access to logical networks and applications

 

                  Securing access to buildings and restricted areas

 

                  Providing fast, accurate member identification services

 

                  Securing mobile devices such as cell phones and PDA’s

 

                  Preventing identity theft with positive identification and false alias validation

Law Enforcement

 

                  MobileCop™ — A complete wireless query and messaging application that puts the power of mobile and wireless technology to work for agencies of every size, MobileCop™ sets the standard for mobile law enforcement. Providing real-time retrieval of motor vehicle, warrant and criminal history information, powerful mobile integration capabilities, and an intuitive user interface, MobileCop delivers the most in performance and it’s easy to see why over 1,200 law enforcement agencies around the country have deployed MobileCop for fast and secure access to critical information in the field.

 

                  PocketCop® — PocketCop® is a software solution that provides police officers and other security personnel instantaneous access to important criminal, civil, and private database information in a wireless environment. PocketCop® is a handheld application that allows law enforcement officers to access state and federal databases over the wireless network for Palm OS, Windows CE, and Pocket PC. Using a portable wireless handheld device and the PocketCop® application software, an authorized user can access suspect information such as wanted status, warrant status, vehicle registration and driver license status. PocketCop® technology has been deployed in numerous police departments in the United States, including the deployment for the Massachusetts State Police.

 

                  IdentityMatch™ - a web-based system that allows law enforcement agencies to capture and store fingerprints online and to identify subjects by matching their fingerprint against those stored in the database, securely and in real time. Fingerprints can be captured using a live scan device from existing 10-print cards or through a wide variety of inexpensive commercially available fingerprint readers. This is an AFIS companion, not a replacement, product designed to maximize the value of fingerprint data and also to provide a new level of safety for the law enforcement personnel.

 

BIO-key also provides a number of optional features designed to augment the core Law Enforcement products. These include:

 

                  Field Interview Tracker™ - enables personnel to capture field contact information. The data is stored in a searchable database where it can be located quickly. Police agencies can create online contact forms that meet their specific needs and multiple agencies can share information while using their own forms and procedures.

 

                  TStop™ - was developed to enable law enforcement agencies to comply with state mandated and voluntary traffic stop reporting. Law enforcement personnel can capture the required information on their mobile computer and transmit it to the server where it is stored and can generate reports.

 

                  State Crash Report - enables personnel to use their mobile computer to collect data needed for their state’s crash report. This data can be wirelessly transmitted to a server so a supervisor can review and approve it. Once complete the report can be printed in the state’s format. Only selected states are supported.

 

                  Multiple Application Programming Interface (API) - allows an agency to have multiple ports to the server to accommodate disparate interfaces. These multiple API ports are in addition to the one port that is inherent in the server as well as the State/NCIC interface.

 

                  Incident Command - using FieldSoft’s PDonScene, this solution is used by both patrol and tactical teams, such as a SWAT, to manage people and resources at the scene of an incident or at a central location such as an emergency operations center. It can also be used for general event management.

 

                  InfoServer™  - BIO-key’s solution for an agency’s central messaging switch for application software service, State/NCIC interfaces, Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Software (RMS) interfaces, data sharing and other applications.

 

Fire Safety

 

In addition to law enforcement/fire service mobile data solutions, BIO-key offers its Sunpro fire service/EMS records management software, FireRMS™, that helps large and small agencies manage operations, track incidents and support fire prevention initiatives. FireRMS Mobile provides wireless query and messaging solutions that extend computer aided dispatch, fire records, and other in-house data sources to a mobile environment and provide mission-critical information to emergency response personnel where and when they need it.

 

                  PacketCluster® Rescue™ —BIO-key’s mobile information solution for fire and EMS, runs off the same server as MobileCop™. It provides much of MobileCop™ functionality without the State/NCIC interface not required by fire service and EMS. Rescue provides mission-critical data such as HAZMAT information and building plans that fire service officers need to know while at a fire scene.

 

3



 

                  FireRMS Records Management Software — this NFIRS 5.0-compliant fire records system helps manage operations, track incidents and support fire prevention initiatives. It is designed to speed data entry and reduce completion time for front-line personnel.

 

                  CAD Interfaces —CAD interfaces provide a connection between BIO-key records and all major CAD systems with the most comprehensive real time integration. Incident reports are opened as soon as CAD dispatches a call. Incidents are current and ready to complete when the crew returns to the station, streamlining and improving the accuracy of incident reporting.

 

                  RMS Interfaces —RMS interfaces provide a mechanism to integrate patient care reports collected in the field with the NIBRS report. Patient data is populated in the appropriate fields, eliminating redundant data entry.

 

                  Other Interfaces —BIO-key provides interfaces to other third party solutions including EMS billing, EMS county/state interfaces, professional staffing solutions and others.

 

BIO-key also offers the following Fire/EMS Partner solutions:

 

                  EMS Field Data Collection —Regist*r Express from MedDataSolutions enables EMS field data collection for efficient collection of patent data where it is generated.

 

                  Geographic Data Analysis —FireView™ from the Omega Group allows Fire and EMS agencies to analyze their deployment strategies.

 

                  Personnel Staffing —Telestaff™ from PDSI automates and manages complex Fire/RMS agency staffing needs and is integrated with FireRMS’s Personnel and Roster modules.

 

                  Incident Command Module —FDonScene™ by FieldSoft provides incident management, responder accountability, and tactical survey or preplan browser software solutions. FDonScene interfaces with PacketCluster Rescue to support incident management-en route or on scene.

 

Current Business Plan

 

BIO-key’s current business plan is to:

 

                  License its core technology “VST” and True User Identification® to original equipment manufacturers, systems integrators, and application developers who develop products and applications that utilize its biometric finger matching solutions.

 

                  License WEB-key®, the Company’s security centric web-based biometric authentication solution.

 

                  Provide for “device independent” finger identification matching for virtually any application by using the latest advances in scanning technology.

Markets

 

Law Enforcement

BIO-key’s InfoServer™, MobileCop™ and PocketCop® Law Enforcement products are the leading wireless mobile data communications client/server solution, implemented in more than 1,200 agencies nationwide. Providing immediate access to mission-critical data and enabling in-field reporting, BIO-key software keeps officers on the street, improving their productivity and enhances officer safety. BIO-key solutions are able to run across any and all wireless infrastructures and integrate with virtually all computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems. This makes us a proven leader in multi-agency cooperation and interoperability, which are absolutely critical in times of large-scale natural and terrorist threats.

 

         Growth potential—BIO-key’s large base of more than 1,200 law enforcement agencies continues to be a strength that helps leverage additional sales from both existing customers and new customers. A key opportunity is the growing awareness of the need for multi-agency interoperability. In these situations, BIO-key offers:

 

                  BIO-key’s LE products can run on any and all wireless infrastructures. BIO-key also has proven success implementing seamless roaming across multiple infrastructures for multi-agency consortiums.

                  BIO-key’s open architecture.

                  BIO-key has experience in large, complex and multi-agency implementations such as Hamilton County, Ohio, Sheriff’s Office and Pennsylvania State Police.

 

These capabilities position BIO-key well to work with leading CAD vendors, even with vendors that have mobile data solutions but do not have the depth of interoperability capability that BIO-key offers.

 

An additional growth area is the introduction of BIO-key’s finger-based biometric identification to law enforcement. In addition to now offering biometric login to  our traditional InfoServer™ product, we have introduced the IdentityMatch™ fingerprint identification solution, which lets law enforcement personnel capture fingerprints in the field and, using BIO-key’s patented Vector Segment Technology®, then analyzes and categorizes fingerprints the same way a fingerprint expert would—only faster. IdentityMatch™ also enables multiple law enforcement agencies to share fingerprint data with other agencies. This powerful tool, built on BIO-key’s understanding of law enforcement requirements and its fingerprint technology, present opportunities for the law enforcement business segment in the coming year.

 

Fire Safety

BIO-key’s FireRMS fire records management software is a flexible solution available for Fire Service and EMS agencies. It is a comprehensive collection of modules that manage a range of activities from daily scheduling to vehicle maintenance. FireRMS streamlines data collection across all areas of department operations, and integrates with other department systems to provide a seamless solution for data access, whether in the station or on the scene of an incident. In addition to helping first responders efficiently deliver traditional fire safety and services and respond to massive emergency situations, it enables adherence to NFIRS, NEMSIS, HIPAA, and ISO requirements. The solutions also bring the station into the field with mobile data communications solutions, and most recently, FireRMS Mobile, which brings the capabilities of FireRMS to first responders where and when they most need to report and access critical information.

 

        Growth potential—a growth opportunity for the fire business segment is in the mobile market with the RMS mobile products. BIO-key’s FireRMS Mobile solutions extend the power of our FireRMS product to the field. Inspectors, for example, can now perform occupancy inspections over a wireless or synched connection using a pen tablet. This approach eliminates redundant data entry, and provides immediate updates of critical information and notification of violations. Likewise, EMS workers can collect critical patient data and relay the data to medical personnel. This new mobile approach to fire and EMS data collection and access offers great potential among both new and existing FireRMS customers.

 

Finger-based Biometric Identification

Finally, BIO-key is a leader in finger-based biometric identification. In partnerships with OEMs, integrators, and solution providers, we provide biometric software solutions to private and public sector customers. BIO-key’s patented vector segment technology is the foundation for these solutions.

BIO-key’s WEB-key ® is a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy, fingerprint-based strong authentication system. This unique solution allows users to positively identify themselves to any application with the simple scan of their finger. This capability is a significant improvement in both convenience and security over other alternatives and provides companies with a cost-effective solution to thwart phishing attacks and comply with government regulations and legislation such as FFIEC compliance, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and the Electronic Signatures Act. BIO-key couples these capabilities with device interoperability and system flexibility and scalability. BIO-key enables the use of about 40 different fingerprint sensor technologies to enroll and identify employees, customers or business partners. Most recently, BIO-key integrated its biometric capabilities with its public safety mission with the introduction of IdentityMatch™, a real-time, in-station solution that allows law enforcement professionals to capture fingerprints from a suspect or captured from a crime scene and compare them to fingerprints. BIO-key has also formed relationships with providers of biometric logon software like IdentiPHI, Softex, and Computer Associates to provide enterprise-ready SingleSignOn systems to many large companies in the US and abroad. Also, BIO-key has integrated to a pure physical access solution in NextGenID, which has been deployed at BIO-key facilities.

 

                  Growth potential—As the provider of the core technology, BIO-key’s greatest growth potential for this market is as a partner with companies that offer cutting-edge applications that address growing concerns particularly about identity theft and terrorism.

 

For example, BIO-key has implemented programs that will enable biometric access. These include a national pilot with a large fitness center chain to provide finger-based membership and access to its locations around the country; with IdentiPHI to provide strong network based authentication on BIO-key technology; and with the Pegasus Program to authenticate users accessing a nationwide information-sharing system designed by and for the nation’s sheriffs. These represent the kind of partnership-based opportunities BIO-key may see in the finger-based biometric market.

 

In parallel, BIO-key is both strengthening security and improving user and system administrator convenience by integrating biometric log-in, as well as two-factor authentication, with its law enforcement and fire safety products. This is a true differentiator to potential new customers, and creates add-on opportunities with existing customers.

 

Competition

 

The markets for BIO-key products and technologies are developing and are characterized by intense competition and rapid technological change. No assurance can be given that our competitors will not develop new or enhanced technologies that will offer superior price, performance, or features, or render BIO-key products or technologies obsolete.

 

Biometrics

 

In addition to companies that provide existing commonplace methods of restricting access to facilities and logical access points such as pass cards, PIN numbers, passwords, locks and keys, there are numerous companies involved in the development, manufacturing and marketing of fingerprint biometrics products to commercial, government, law enforcement and prison markets. These companies include, but are not limited to, Cogent, NEC, IDENTIX, Sagem-Morpho, and Bioscrypt.

 

The most recent automated fingerprint identification product sales in the market have been deployed for government and law enforcement applications, typically at more cost than BIO-key’s products and licensing arrangements. Although most companies that target consumer application markets have completed development of their biometric products, such technologies have not been widely accepted in the commercial markets to date. Most companies competing for commercial opportunities are in the business of selling scanning devices and tie their algorithm to a specific device. BIO-key has created a “device independent” algorithm that provides flexibility in choosing the correct device and optical or tactile sense to fit the application served.

 

BIO-key has found that commercial markets have been slow to widely purchase biometrics as a viable alternative to their current security methods. As a result, the primary competition for biometric technology consists of traditional security methods such as passwords, PINs, cards, and tokens.

 

With respect to competing biometrics technologies, each has its strength and weaknesses and none has emerged as a market leader:

 

                  Fingerprint identification is generally viewed as inexpensive and non-intrusive.

 

                  Iris scanning is viewed as accurate, but can be expensive and inconvenient to use.

 

                  Facial recognition has recently received substantial attention; however, it can have accuracy limitations and be highly dependent on ambient lighting conditions, angle of view and other factors.

 

The market for biometric technology is evolving. Computer breaches, identity theft, phishing and other events in the recent past are driving a large-scale shift to biometric deployments. In addition, companies such as IBM, Dell, Gateway, MPC, Samsung and HP have all introduced computers with integrated finger scanning devices to complement the conventional username/password technique since it is highly susceptible to hackers and security breaches. BIO-key supports these integrated devices for broader enterprise level security solutions.

Law Enforcement

 

The public safety market comprises agencies at all government levels, with a range of users, from a few to many hundreds. BIO-key competitors in the mobile data market include Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management companies such as Printrak, InfoCop and Motorola. Each has comprehensive CAD and/or RMS offerings and has augmented those with their own mobile data and field reporting solutions. While these solutions may not be as functionally rich as the BIO-key suite of products, they are sometimes less expensive. They also provide a complete solution from one vendor.

 

Fire Safety

 

The fire records management market includes a large number of RMS vendors including Firehouse, FDM and ETI. These and other competing companies represent a wide range of organizations, from large integration companies, to small garage companies, and offer products similar in scope to BIO-key’s FireRMS. The functionality and price of these products also encompass wide ranges of features and costs.

BIO-key targets both Internet infrastructure companies and large portal providers as possible licensees for its WEB-key ® solution. On the Internet infrastructure side, BIO-key seeks to partner with Internet server manufacturers, providers of database and data warehouse engine software, horizontally positioned application engines, firewall solution providers and peripheral equipment manufacturers. On the portal side, BIO-key is targeting financial service providers such as credit and debit card authorization and issuing institutions, Internet retailers, business-to-business application service providers (ASPs) and corporate intranets. In the past three years, BIO-key has undertaken a WEB-key ® and VST direct selling effort, and entered into license agreements with OEMs and system integrators to develop applications for distribution to their respective customers.

 

BIO-key is also addressing the security needs of application providers in the following vertical markets:

 

                  Government —Using BIO-key’s technology, Northup Grumman deployed an application within the Department of Defense to cross-credential visitors and contractors to certain military bases.

 

                  Education —Educational Biometric Technologies, Lunch Byte Systems and Identimetrics have incorporated BIO-key technology to enable school children to pay for school lunch programs and checkout library books using their fingerprints. VST technology enables schools to enroll these children and reduces the administrative costs of managing passwords and collecting payments.

 

                  Commerce: ChoicePoint has implemented a check cashing solution using BIO-key’s VST technology to reduce fraud and identity theft.

 

                  Patient Records and Information Management: HBOC, one of the largest healthcare patient records and information management companies, has integrated BIO-key technology into their portal and has deployed their solution in a pilot for the Baptist Hospital System.

 

                  Financial: BIO-key is working with several companies focusing on financial applications such as point of sale systems and employee trusted identification cards, as well as customer facing applications over the Internet. BIO-key has also begun work with several financial institutions to incorporate its technology for secure access to money transfers for institutional customers.

 

Intellectual Property Rights

 

We believe that our intellectual property is important to our biometric, law enforcement and fire information management segments:

 

Patents—our biometrics segment uses patented technology and trade secrets developed or acquired by us. In May 2005, the U.S. Patent Office issued us a patent for our Vector Segment fingerprint technology (VST), BIO-key’s core biometric analysis and identification technology. Additionally, we have a number of U.S. and foreign patent applications in process related to this intellectual property.

 

Trademarks— We have registered our trademarks (BIO-key”, “SACman”, “SACcat”, “SACremote”, “True User Identification”, “WEB-key”, “PacketCluster”, “PacketCluster Patrol”, “PacketWriter”, “PacketBlue”, “SunPro” and the design mark for “Ceurulean” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We have also applied for trademarks for “PocketCop” and “Cerulean”.

 

Copyrights and trade secrets—We take measures to ensure copyright and license protection for our software releases prior to distribution. When possible, the software is licensed in an attempt to ensure that only licensed and activated software functions to its full potential. We also take measures to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development efforts are concentrated on enhancing the functionality, reliability and integration of our current products as well as developing new and innovative products for the biometrics, law enforcement and fire markets. Although BIO-key believes that its identification technology is one of the most advanced and discriminating fingerprint technologies available today, the markets in which BIO-key compete are characterized by rapid technological change and evolving standards. In order to maintain its position in the market, BIO-key will continue to upgrade and refine its existing technologies.

In 2005, BIO-key announced the launch of IdentityMatch, our fingerprint identification system. IdentityMatch offers a tool for agencies to store and search fingerprints and the associated demographic data, the ability to compare new prints with those previously captured as a low-cost AFIS alternative or to be used for a wide variety of routine identification transactions not supported by AFIS. IdentityMatch™ is currently being tested by a number of customers.

 

During fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, BIO-key spent approximately $2,980,000 and $6,846,000 respectively, on research and development. BIO-key’s limited customer base during that time did not directly bear these costs, which were principally funded through outside sources of equity and debt financing.

 

Government Regulations

 

BIO-key is not currently subject to direct regulation by any government agency, other than regulations generally applicable to businesses or related to specific project requirements. In the event of any international sales, the company would be subject to various domestic and foreign laws regulating such exports and export activities.

 

Environmental Regulations

 

As of the date of this report, BIO-key has not incurred any material expenses relating to our compliance with federal, state, or local environmental laws and does not expect to incur any material expenses in the foreseeable future.

 

Employees and Consultants

 

BIO-key currently employs one-hundred (100) individuals on a full-time basis: fifty-one (51) in engineering, customer support, research and development; Thirteen (13) in finance and administration; and twenty-six (26) in sales and marketing. BIO-key also uses the services of ten (10) consultants who provide engineering and technical services.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

 The following material risk factors, among others, may affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Business and Financial Risks

 

Based on our lack of significant revenue since inception and recurring losses from operations, our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Due to, among other factors, our history of losses (excluding gains from valuation changes in embedded derivatives) and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion for the year ended December 31, 2005 as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate that we will continue to operate as a going concern. Our financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Since our formation, we have historically generated minimal revenue and have sustained substantial operating losses.

 

As of December 31, 2005, we had negative working capital of approximately $3,600,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $42,226,000. Since our inception, we have focused almost exclusively on developing our core technologies and, until the fourth quarter of 2004 have not generated any significant revenue. In order to increase revenue, we have developed a direct sales force and anticipate the need to retain additional sales, marketing and technical support personnel and may need to incur substantial expenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure these necessary resources, that a significant market for our technologies will develop or that we will be able to achieve our targeted revenue.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and have failed to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures. If we are unable to successfully address such material weaknesses or if we continue to maintain an ineffective system of disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting; this would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

After a review of our March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 quarterly operating results, as well as our 2005 annual operating results, conducted pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer have determined that, as of each such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Our management reached this conclusion after identifying our system to capture disclosure items, our internal process of review for account reconciliations, our documentation of internal controls and our internal process for preparing our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 as being inadequate to provide such assistance.

 

In addition, our independent auditors, DS&B, Ltd., notified the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors on April 18, 2005 that they believed there were reportable conditions during 2004 and 2005 which constituted a material weakness in our internal controls. These weaknesses concerned deficiencies in the design and implementation of our internal controls and the fact that, due to two recent acquisitions, we were not staffed properly in our accounting and reporting department and may not have had appropriate accounting and reporting software. For these reasons, we were not able to meet our schedule for preparing our audit and for filing our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 in a timely manner.

 

Effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public company. We have in the past discovered, as described above, and may in the future discover, areas of our disclosure and internal controls that need improvement. We are in the process of addressing these issues to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are improved so as to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange rules and forms. If, however, we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed.

 

We cannot be certain that our efforts to improve the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures will be successful or that we will be able to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. We will need to commit substantial resources, including substantial time from our management team’s accounting personnel and from external consultants, to implement and integrate into our organization improved disclosure controls and additional procedures generally and to improve systems to report financial information on a timely basis. Any failure or delay to develop or maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or in other effective improvement of our internal and disclosure controls could materially harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to adequately establish or improve our internal controls over financial reporting, our external auditors may not be able to issue an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls. Ineffective internal and disclosure controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a significant negative effect on the trading price of our securities.

 

Our biometric technology has yet to gain widespread market acceptance and we do not know how large of a market will develop for our technology.

 

Biometric technology has received only limited market acceptance, particularly in the private sector. Our technology represents a novel security solution and we have not yet generated significant sales. Although recent security concerns relating to identification of individuals has increased interest in biometrics generally, it remains an undeveloped, evolving market. Biometric based solutions compete with more traditional security methods including keys, cards, personal identification numbers and security personnel. Acceptance of biometrics as an alternative to such traditional methods depends upon a number of factors including:

 

                  the reliability of biometric solutions

 

                  public perception regarding privacy concerns

 

                  costs involved in adopting and integrating biometric solutions

 

For these reasons, we are uncertain whether our biometric technology will gain widespread acceptance in any commercial markets or that demand will be sufficient to create a market large enough to produce significant revenue or earnings. Our future success depends, in part, upon business customers adopting biometrics generally, and our solution specifically.

 

10



 

Biometric technology is a new approach to Internet security which must be accepted in order for our WEB-key ® solution to generate significant revenue.

 

Our WEB-key ® authentication initiative represents a new approach to Internet security which has been adopted on a limited basis by companies which distribute goods, content or software applications over the Internet. The implementation of our WEB-key ® solution requires the distribution and use of a finger scanning device and integration of database and server side software. Although we believe our solutions provides a higher level of security for information transmitted over the Internet than existing traditional methods, unless business and consumer markets embrace the use of a scanning device and believe the benefits of increased accuracy outweigh implementation costs, our solution will not gain market acceptance.

 

Our software products may contain defects which will make it more difficult for us to establish and maintain customers.

 

Although we have completed the development of our core biometric technology, it has only been used by a limited number of business customers. Despite extensive testing during development, our software may contain undetected design faults and software errors, or “bugs” that are discovered only after it has been installed and used by a greater number of customers. Any such default or error in new or existing software or applications could cause delays in delivering our technology or require design modifications. These could adversely affect our competitive position and cause us to lose potential customers or opportunities. Since our technologies are intended to be utilized to secure physical and electronic access, the effect of any such bugs or delays will likely have a detrimental impact on us. In addition, given that biometric technology generally, and our biometric technology specifically, has yet to gain widespread acceptance in the market, any delays would likely have a more detrimental impact on our business than if we were a more established company.

 

While we have commenced a significant sales and marketing effort, we have only begun to develop a significant distribution channel and may not have the resources or ability to sustain these efforts or generate any meaningful sales.

 

In order to generate revenue from our biometric products, we are dependent upon independent original equipment manufacturers, system integrators and application developers, which we do not control. As a result, it may be more difficult to generate sales.

 

We market our technology through licensing arrangements with:

 

                  Original equipment manufacturers, system integrators and application developers which develop and market products and applications which can then be sold to end users

 

                  Companies which distribute goods, services or software applications over the Internet

 

As a technology licensing company, our success will depend upon the ability of these manufacturers and developers to effectively integrate our technology into products and services which they market and sell. We have no control over these licensees and can not assure you that they have the financial, marketing or technical resources to successfully develop and distribute products or applications acceptable to end users or generate any meaningful revenue for us. These third parties may also offer the products of our competitors to end users.

 

We derive nearly all of our revenue from government contracts, which are often non-standard, involve competitive bidding, may be subject to cancellation with or without penalty and may produce volatility in earnings and revenue.

 

Most of our business involves providing products and services under contracts with U.S. federal, state and local government agencies. Obtaining contracts from government agencies is challenging, and government contracts often include provisions that are not standard in private commercial transactions. For example, government contracts may:

 

                  include provisions that allow the government agency to terminate the contract without penalty under some circumstances;

 

                  be subject to purchasing decisions of agencies that are subject to political influence;

 

                  contain onerous procurement procedures; and

 

                  be subject to cancellation if government funding becomes unavailable.

 

Securing government contracts can be a protracted process involving competitive bidding. In many cases, unsuccessful bidders may challenge contract awards, which can lead to increased costs, delays and possible loss of the contract for the winning bidder.

 

11



 

We face intense competition and may not have the financial and human resources necessary to keep up with rapid technological changes, which may result in our technology becoming obsolete.

 

The Internet, facility access control and information security markets are subject to rapid technological change and intense competition. We compete with both established biometric companies and a significant number of startup enterprises as well as providers of more traditional methods of access control. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may independently develop superior technologies, which may result in our technology becoming less competitive or obsolete. We may not be able to keep pace with this change. If we are unable to develop new applications or enhance our existing technology in a timely manner in response to technological changes, we will be unable to compete in our chosen markets. In addition, if one or more other biometric technologies such as voice, face, iris, hand geometry or blood vessel recognition are widely adopted, it would significantly reduce the potential market for our fingerprint identification technology.

 

We depend on key employees and members of our management team, including our Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, in order to achieve our goals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain or attract such persons.

 

A loss of our current Chairman of the Board of Directors or Co-Chief Executive Officer could severely and negatively impact our operations. We have had an employment contract with Michael W. DePasquale, our Co-Chief Executive Officer through March 28, 2008. Although the contract does not prevent him from resigning, it does contain confidentiality and non-compete clauses which are intended to prevent him from working for a competitor within one year after leaving our Company. Our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain employees with expertise in developing, marketing and selling software solutions. In order to successfully market our technology, we will need to retain additional engineering, technical support and marketing personnel. The market for such persons remains highly competitive and our limited financial resources will make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified persons.

 

We can not assure you that the limited intellectual property protection for our core technology provides a meaningful competitive advantage or barrier to entry against our competitors.

 

Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon proprietary rights to our technology. We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets and technical measures to protect our propriety rights. We have filed a patent application relating to both the optic technology and biometrics solution components of our technology wherein several claims have been allowed. In May 2005, the U.S. Patent Office issued us a patent for our Vector Segment fingerprint technology (VST), BIO-key’s core biometric analysis and identification technology. We cannot assure you that any additional patents will be issued that we will have the resources to protect any patent from infringement. Although we believe our technology does not currently infringe upon patents held by others, we can not assure you that such infringements do not exist or will not exist in the future, particularly as the number of products and competitors in the biometric industry segment grows.

 

We may need to obtain additional financing to execute our business plan, which may not be available. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate significant revenue, we may not be able to continue operations.

 

Since our inception, we have not generated any significant revenue (other than revenue from acquired businesses) and have experienced substantial losses, including approximately $11,499,000 during 2005, excluding the impact related to embedded derivatives. In March 2004, we completed a private placement equity offering that resulted in approximately $12,000,000 in gross proceeds to the Company and a private placement convertible debt offering in September 2004 that resulted in approximately $10,000,000 in gross proceeds to the Company (a portion of which was used to finance the acquisition of Aether Mobile Government). In June 2005, we raised approximately $5,000,000 in gross proceeds through a private placement convertible debt offering and in January 2006 we received approximately $1,000,000 in another a private placement convertible debt offering. To the extent that we will require additional capital to support our operations, expand our marketing and sales efforts and to execute our business plan to substantially increase revenue, we may need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. We have not and cannot assure you that we will ever be able to secure any such financing on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot obtain such financing or generate such revenues, we may not be able to execute our business plan or continue operations.

 

12



 

We may not be able to successfully complete the integration of PSG and AMG into our operations.

 

The integration of PSG and AMG into our operations involves a number of risks, including:

 

                  difficulty integrating operations and personnel;

 

                  diversion of management attention;

 

                  potential disruption of ongoing business;

 

                  inability to retain key personnel;

 

                  inability to successfully incorporate the acquired products and services into our product and service offerings and to develop new products and services; and

 

                  impairment of relationships with employees, customers or vendors.

 

Failure to overcome these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with the acquisitions of PSG and AMG could slow our growth or lower the quality of our services, which could reduce customer demand. The result could be a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

We may not achieve profitability with respect to the law enforcement and public safety components of our business if we are unable to maintain, improve and develop the wireless data services we offer.

 

We believe that our future business prospects depend in part on our ability to maintain and improve our current services and to develop new ones on a timely basis. Our services will have to achieve market acceptance, maintain technological competitiveness and meet an expanding range of customer requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent in our service offerings, major new wireless data services and service enhancements require long development and testing periods. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of new services and service enhancements. Additionally, our new services and service enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. If we cannot effectively develop and improve services we may not be able to recover our fixed costs or otherwise become profitable.

 

Our law enforcement and public safety division depends upon wireless networks owned and controlled by others.

 

If we do not have continued access to sufficient capacity on reliable networks, we may be unable to deliver services and our sales could decrease. Our ability to grow and achieve profitability partly depends on our ability to buy sufficient capacity on the networks of wireless carriers such as Verizon Wireless, Bell South Corporation, Metrocall, Motient and AT&T Wireless and on the reliability and security of their systems. All of our services are delivered using airtime purchased from third parties. We depend on these companies to provide uninterrupted and bug free service and would not be able to satisfy our customers’ needs if they failed to provide the required capacity or needed level of service. In addition, our expenses would increase and our profitability could be materially adversely affected if wireless carriers were to increase the prices of their services. Our existing agreements with the wireless carriers generally have one-year terms. Some of these wireless carriers are, or could become, our competitors and if they compete with us they may refuse to provide us with their services.

 

New laws and regulations that impact our law enforcement and public safety division could increase our costs or reduce our opportunities to earn revenue.

 

We are not currently subject to direct regulation by the Federal Communications Commission or any other governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses in general. However, in the future, we may become subject to regulation by the FCC or another regulatory agency. In addition, the wireless carriers who supply us airtime and certain of our hardware suppliers are subject to regulation by the FCC and regulations that affect them could increase our costs or reduce our ability to continue selling and supporting our services.

 

If we fail to adequately manage our resources, it could have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock price.

 

We could be subject to fluctuations in technology spending by existing and potential customers. Accordingly, we will have to actively manage expenses in a rapidly changing economic environment. This could require reducing costs during economic downturns and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. If we do not properly manage our resources in response to these conditions, our results of operations could be negatively impacted.

 

13



 

We granted a blanket security interest in all of our assets to the holders of our secured debt. If we are unable to make our required monthly payments on such debt, or any other event of default occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations, and the debt holders may foreclose on our assets.

 

As part of our secured convertible debt financing transactions, we granted to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. and another holder of such secured debt a blanket security interest in all of our assets, including assets of our subsidiary. See the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” section of this report. In the event we default in payment on such debt, or any other event of default occurs under the relevant financing documents, and the default is not cured, 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the secured notes, plus accrued interest and fees will accelerate and be due and payable in full. See the “Long Term Obligations” footnote to this report for a list of such potential events of default.

 

The cash required to pay such accelerated amounts on the secured notes following an event of default would most likely come out of our working capital. As we rely on our working capital for our day to day operations, such a default could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations. In addition, upon an event of default, the holder of the secured debt could foreclose on our assets or exercise any other remedies available to them. If our assets were foreclosed upon, we were forced to file for bankruptcy or cease operations; stockholders may not receive any proceeds from disposition of our assets and may lose their entire investment in our stock.

 

Our obligations under our debt securities may adversely affect our ability to enter into potential significant transactions with other parties.

 

As a result of our debt financing transactions with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., the Shaar Fund, Ltd. and other institutional and accredited investors, we incurred significant repayment obligations, and we agreed to certain restrictive covenants. In particular, for so long as 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible term notes remains outstanding, we will need the consent of the holders of such notes before we can take certain actions, including the following:

 

                  pay any dividends;

 

                  merge, effect a material reorganization, liquidate or dissolve;

 

                  materially change the scope of our business; or

 

                  create, incur or assume any debt (other than certain trade debt, equipment financings and debt for the purchase of assets in the ordinary course of business).

 

Accordingly, unless we obtain the noteholders’ consent, we may not be able to enter into certain transactions. In addition, in connection with any potential significant transaction (such as a merger, sale of substantially all our assets, joint venture, or similar transaction), it is likely that we would have to pay off such debt obligations and have the applicable security interests released. Although we have the right at any time to prepay our debt obligations, we can only do so upon payment of either 110% or 120% of the then principal balance, plus all other amounts owing under the notes. See the “Long Term Obligations” footnote of this report. Based on an aggregate principal balance of $11.3 million at December 31, 2005, a complete prepayment would require a cash payment of approximately $12.7 million. These provisions could have the practical effect of increasing the costs of any potential significant transaction, and restrict our ability to enter into any such transaction.

 

Our obligations to the holders of our outstanding preferred stock may further affect our ability to enter into potential significant transactions with other parties.

 

We will need to obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock before we can take certain actions, including the following:

 

                  a sale or other disposition of any material assets;

 

                  an acquisition of a material amount of assets;

 

                  engaging in a merger, reorganization or consolidation; or

 

                  incur or guaranty any indebtedness in excess of $50,000.

 

Accordingly, unless we obtain such consent, we may not be able to enter into certain transactions.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

 

We have issued a substantial number of securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock which will result in substantial dilution to the ownership interests of our existing shareholders.

 

As of March 15th, 2006, approximately 45,764,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise or conversion of the following securities:

 

                  15,273,000 shares upon conversion of outstanding convertible term notes;

 

                  20,729,000 shares upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants;

 

                  1,878,000 shares upon exercise of options available for future grant under our existing option plans; and

 

                  7,884,000 shares or more upon conversion of our outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock and cumulative dividends in arrears.

 

The exercise or conversion of these securities will result in a significant increase in the number of outstanding shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders.

 

A substantial number of our convertible securities are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.70 per share. Most of these shares are eligible for public resale. The trading price of our common stock and our ability to raise additional financing may be adversely affected by the influx into the market of such a substantial number of shares.

 

Our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and cumulative dividends in arrears are convertible into 7,287,987 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2005 at a per share conversion price of $.70. Although many of the shares issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are eligible for public resale under Securities Exchange Commission Rule 144, we have agreed to file a registration statement to cover the public resale of all of these shares. This significant increase in the number of shares available for public sale may have a negative impact on the trading price of our shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. In the event that our stock trades below $.70 per share, in order to raise additional financing we would likely be required to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a purchase or conversion price, as applicable, of less than $.70 per share. Any issuance of shares at a purchase price of less than $.70 per share would reduce the conversion price of our Series A Convertible Preferred Shares to such lower price. This would require us to issue additional shares upon conversion of our Series A Shares and further dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. To the extent these factors are viewed negatively by the market, it may provide an incentive for persons to execute short sales of our common stock that could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

In January 2006, the Company issued Convertible Term Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to certain investors. The Convertible Notes are convertible into 1,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, which shares are convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at an initial fixed conversion of $0.70 per share for an aggregate amount of 1,428,571 shares. Although many of the shares issuable upon conversion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are eligible for public resale under Securities Exchange Commission Rule 144, we have agreed to file a registration statement to cover the public resale of all of these shares. This significant increase in the number of shares available for public sale may have a negative impact on the trading price of our shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. In the event that our stock trades below $.70 per share, in order to raise additional financing we would likely be required to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a purchase or conversion price, as applicable, of less than $.70 per share. Any issuance of shares at a purchase price of less than $.70 per share would reduce the conversion price of our Series B Convertible Preferred Shares to such lower price. This would require us to issue additional shares upon conversion of our Series B Shares and further dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. To the extent these factors are viewed negatively by the market, it may provide an incentive for persons to execute short sales of our common stock that could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Applicable SEC Rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. Since our common stock continues to trade below $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations, which impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid a dividend on our common stock. In addition, the terms of our outstanding Convertible Preferred Shares preclude us from declaring or paying a dividend on our common stock unless a dividend is also declared or paid, as applicable, on our Convertible Preferred Shares. We intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile.

 

The trading price of our shares has from time to time fluctuated widely and in the future may be subject to similar fluctuations. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including the risk factors set forth in this Report as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the biometrics and access control industries, and other events or factors. Although we believe that approximately 15 registered broker dealers currently make a market in our common stock, we can not assure you that any of these firms will continue to serve as market makers or have the financial capability to stabilize or support our common stock. A reduction in the number of market makers or the financial capability of any of these market makers could also result in a decrease in the trading volume of and price of our shares. In recent years broad stock market indices, in general, and the securities of technology companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the future-trading price of our common stock.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

We do not own any real estate. We conduct operations from leased premises in Marlborough, Massachusetts (38,000 square feet), Eagan, Minnesota (6,800 square feet), Wall, New Jersey (2,180 square feet) and Winter Park, Florida (900 square feet). We believe that our current facilities are adequate for the foreseeable future.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Prior to our acquisition of PSG in March 2004, PSG had been named as a defendant in a civil action initiated in the Superior Court Department in Hampden County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts by The Vince Group, Inc. (“TVG”). The case has since been removed to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts at the request of the Parties. The complaint claims that PSG is obligated to pay a percentage of certain of its revenues to TVG in consideration for a strategic business introduction allegedly made by an agent of TVG. PSG has denied the allegations and filed an answer in the litigation, and as of the date of this report the outcome of the litigation is pending. The claim is for an unspecified amount including actual damages, interest, and attorney’s fees. Management believes the claim is without merit and will settle out of court for an amount, which will not have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In March 2004, we designated 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Shares”). When the Company reincorporated in Delaware, the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were re-named as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of which 44,557 are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2005. The following describes the material provisions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares which are more fully set forth in the Certificate of Designation on file with the Delaware Secretary of State.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares accrue a cumulative annual dividend of 7% on the $100 face amount of such shares payable June 15 and December 15 each year in shares of common stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $100 per share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) prior to any payment or distribution to holders of our common stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.70 per share. The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or reclassifications. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event we issue additional shares of common stock at a purchase price less than the conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, the conversion price shall be lowered to such lesser price. In the event that the average closing bid price of our common stock is less than $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days at any time after March 3, 2007, we will be required to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares by payment of $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends due thereon.

 

We are required to obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares in order to, among other things, issue any shares of preferred stock that are equal to or have a preference over the  Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or issue any shares of preferred stock, rights, options, warrants, or any other securities convertible into common stock of the Company, other than those issued to employees of the Company in the ordinary course of their employment or to consultants or other persons providing services to the Company so long as such issuances do not exceed 500,000 shares of common stock.

OVERVIEW

 

Our Business

 

  We develop and market proprietary fingerprint identification biometric technology and software solutions. We also deliver advanced identification solutions and information services to law enforcement departments, public safety agencies and other government and private sector customers. Our mobile wireless technology provides first responders with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state and national databases.

 

We pioneered the development of automated, finger identification technology that can be used without the aid of non-automated methods of identification such as a personal identification, password, token, smart card, ID card, credit card, passport, driver’s license or other form of possession or knowledge based identification. This advanced BIO-key™ identification technology improves both the accuracy and speed of finger-based biometrics and is the only finger identification algorithm that has been certified by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA).

 

Since our inception in 1993, we have spent substantial time and effort in completing the development of what we believe is the most discriminating and effective finger biometric technology available. During the past two years, our focus has shifted to marketing and selling this technology and completing strategic acquisitions that can help us leverage our capability to deliver identification solutions. We have built a direct sale force of professionals with substantial experience in selling technology solutions to government and corporate customers. We expect to continue to add additional qualified personnel beyond 2005.

 

On March 30, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Public Safety Group, Inc., a privately-held provider of wireless solutions for law enforcement and public safety markets based in Winter Park, Florida, in exchange for an aggregate of 2,422,108 shares of our common stock, $500,000 in cash, and our assumption of $600,000 in aggregate net liabilities of PSG. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of merger by and among the Company, BIO-key Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PSG and all of the shareholders of PSG. As a result of this transaction, PSG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On September 30, 2004, we completed our acquisition of the Mobile Government Division from Aether Systems Inc. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 16, 2004 by and among the Company, Aether, Cerulean Technology, Inc. and SunPro, Inc., the Company paid Aether a purchase price of $10,000,000 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments to reflect changes in Aether Mobile Government’s working capital and cash flows since June 30, 2004. Post-closing working capital adjustments resulted in an additional payment by the Company of $341,878 in December 2004. In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued a subordinated secured promissory note to Aether in the face amount of $6,884,588 (the “Aether Note”). The Aether Note evidences a contingent reimbursement obligation of the Company to Aether and a surety fee payable by the Company to Aether, in each case with respect to a letter of credit maintained by Aether for the Company’s benefit in connection with the acquisition. The Company’s obligations under the Aether Note are secured by a security interest granted to Aether in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, subordinate to the security interest described in the “Long-Term Obligations” footnote to this annual report.

 

Aether Mobile Government provides wireless data solutions for use by public safety organizations, primarily state and local police, fire and rescue and emergency medical services organizations that enable such organizations to access law enforcement databases to validate identities and obtain suspect information. Its public safety solutions are integrated into fifty (50) different state databases, as well as local and federal databases, and its products deliver real-time information in seconds, without the need for human dispatchers or other resources.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

During 2005, the Company continued to integrate the products, operations and technology of the Mobile Government business, acquired from Aether Systems in September 2004, in an effort to leverage new business opportunities. Our financial objective is to increase revenue, manage expenses and attain profitability. While total expenses have increased in dollars, they have declined as a percentage of revenue in 2005 and 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company restructured its operations into three business segments: Biometrics, Law Enforcement and Fire Safety. Each segment will be headed by a General Manager and organized to quickly respond to market needs as well as to drive down costs to achieve profitability. Management believes that this initiative will lead to increased opportunities in 2006 as the General Managers develop their organizations. A detailed analysis of each segment can be found below.

As discussed in Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have three reporting segments: Law Enforcement, Fire Safety and Biometrics. The Law Enforcement and Fire Safety segments were purchased during 2004. As noted earlier, in the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company restructured its operations into three business segments, prior to this segmentation of the business management evaluated the business as one consolidated operation.  For presentation and comparability purposes the allocation of costs between segments for prior periods have been estimated.

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on revenues and operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on the segments revenues.  The segmentation of operating income as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business.   Assets for the company are commingled and are related to all operating segments.  Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

Revenues

Law Enforcement

 

The increase in these revenue components from 2004 is primarily attributable to the fact that the business was acquired in the third quarter of 2004. Therefore 2004 represents only one quarter of revenue, whereas 2005 reflects four quarters of revenue. The increase was partially offset with a reduction of revenues related to long-term project work, which during 2005 has diminished as a result of the Company focusing the business to more of a licensing model.

 

Fire Safety

 

The increase in these revenue components from 2004 is primarily attributable to the fact that the business was acquired in the third quarter of 2004. Therefore 2004 represents only one quarter of revenue, whereas 2005 reflects four quarters of revenue. This was compounded by a general increase in overall revenue that can be attributed to a strengthened market presence through concerted efforts toward penetrating new markets by actively pursuing and marketing our Fire Safety products. Additionally revenue growth can be also attributable to functionality that was added across the entire Fire Safety product suite as well as the release of new FireRMS mobile product which was released in the middle of 2005.

 

Biometrics

 

During 2004 and 2005 Biometric segment continues to show strong revenue growth year over year. This is reflective of continued market acceptance of the product and strategic channel relationships that have been developed. Additionally, the product has been a proven solution in the educational industry as well has shown continued commercial integration and acceptance of the product.

 

Costs of goods sold

 

Law Enforcement

 

License and other costs are attributable primarily to revenues derived from product sales for which we are required to pay a royalty. The slight decrease in cost is primarily driven by the sales mix and is solely dependent specifically on what products were sold.

 

Service costs increased primarily because of personnel related costs that have increased over the prior year primarily from the inclusion of a full year of costs as compared to only one quarter in 2004. This was offset by reductions related to a reduced concentration of project related revenues which are heavily burdened with labor costs, both employees and contracted labor. As significant project revenues declined after the first two quarters of 2005, this reduction offset the increase that would have occurred related to maintaining a full twelve months of expense.

 

Fire Safety

 

License and other costs are attributable primarily to revenues derived from product sales for which we are required to pay a royalty. The slight increase in cost is primarily driven by the sales volume in addition to product mix. These costs are solely dependent specifically on what products were sold.

 

Services costs have increased over the prior year primarily from the inclusion of a full year of costs as compared to only one quarter as well as contractors and related costs that have been incurred related to project and service related revenues. There was a significant growth in service revenues for which additional outside contractors were used in providing some of those services.

 

Biometrics

 

License and other costs are primarily related to the hardware costs related to sales of biometric fingerprint readers. The change in cost of goods sold is directly attributable to the product mix between types of readers sold and the volume of readers sold. During 2004 and 2003 the volume attributable to readers remained fairly constant whereas in 2005 volume decreased resulting in a reduction of related product cost.

 

Service cost has increased during 2005 related primarily to a higher percentage of revenue requiring software customization and integration costs as compared to 2004 and 2003.

SG&A costs increased during the year as a result of 2005 representing a full 12 months worth of expenses as compared to 2004 which included only 3 months of expenses of the Law and Fire segments.  As noted above, these costs are allocated based on the Segment’s percentage of revenue.  Changes in SG&A costs between business segments are the result of the change in their respective percentage of BIO-key’s total revenue.

 

During 2004 the increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Mobile Government. The additional costs incurred were the result of legal and audit costs surrounding both the acquisition of Mobile Government as well as Public Safety Group. Additionally, the increase was due to an increased workforce in sales and administration functions as well as the associated overhead which results from fully loaded labor charges associated with supporting larger operations. This increase was offset slightly by the elimination of non essential functions done in order to align the business with its revised model of focusing sales through channel partners and creating a model focused on licensing as oppose to integration projects.

R & D costs have increased over 2004 primarily related to the acquisition of Mobile Government in Q3 of 2004. During 2005 the Company spent significant R&D resources in sustaining engineering related to the large customer base as well as developing new version releases that incorporated these changes. While remaining focused on achieving these operational objectives the Company also undertook cost reduction initiatives which resulted in an approximately 25-30% reduction of the fourth quarter 2004 run rate for R&D costs in the Law Enforcement segment.

 

Fire Safety

 

R & D costs have increased over 2004 primarily related to the acquisition of Mobile Government in Q3 of 2004. Additionally, subsequent to the acquisition, the company had several engineering initiatives in the Fire segment. As noted above a number of product enhancements were made to functionality across the entire software suite in addition to focused development of the new FireRMS mobile solution delivered to the market mid 2005. While remaining focused on achieving these product objectives, in conjunction with the Company wide cost reduction initiatives, Fire Safety was able to realize an approximate reduction of 10% the fourth quarter 2004 run rate for R&D costs.

 

Biometrics

 

R & D costs have increased sequentially from 2003 to 2005. This is representative of the increased spending to enhance the interoperability and functionality of the software. The company continues to spend in R&D to enhance the products usability in different markets as well as to develop the product for integration with products from BIO-key’s other segments. During 2005, BIO-key released IdentityMatch, a product which integrates BIO-key’s advanced biometric offerings with BIO-key’s mobile data and fire records management solutions. BIO-key continues to develop further integration of its Biometric software solutions in other products with in Company as well as partnering with other solutions in the marketplace. Additionally, in May of 2005 the Company was awarded a patent for its award-winning leadership Vector Segment fingerprint technology or “Image Identification System.”

For the year ended December 31, 2005, consolidated interest expense increased $4,631,572 or 242% as compared to 2004, which was attributable to the increase in long term debt from issuance of the 2004 and 2005 Senior and Subordinated notes. For the year ended December 31, 2004, consolidated interest expense increase $6,770 or .4% from 2003.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, consolidated interest income decreased $30,866 or 46% as compared to 2004, which was attributable to the average amount of cash held on hand in interest bearing accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2004, consolidated interest income increased $66,824 as compared to 2003, which was attributable to deposits held in interest bearing accounts in 2004. No deposits were held in interest bearing accounts in 2003.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, consolidated non-cash interest income (expense) increased $21,216,323 or 353% as compared to 2004, which was attributable to changes in the fair market value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt. The fair value of the derivatives will fluctuate based on; our stock price at particular points in time, the debt conversion price, the volatility of our stock price over a period of time, changes in the value of the risk free interest rate, and the time to maturity of the outstanding debt at different points in time. The major factor contributing to this change was due to the decline in the market price of our stock from $1.60 as of December 31, 2004 to $.69 as of December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2004, consolidated non-cash interest income decreased $6,860,682 or 800% as compared to 2003, which was also attributable to changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt. The major factor contributing to the large fluctuation in the fair value was due to the net increase in the market price of our stock from $1.03 as of September 29, 2004 to $1.60 as of December 31, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

OPERATING ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW

 

The net cash used in operating activities during 2005 was $4,513,497, as compared to $5,644,759 and $2,857,145 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Some of the major drivers of this change are discussed in more detail below.

 

The Company’s income statement includes four non-cash items which made the most significant contributions to the net cash used in operating activities in 2004 and 2005.

 

      The Company issued notes in 2004 and 2005 which contained embedded derivatives. In 2004, the company recorded a loss of approximately $6,003,000 related to the increase in value of the derivatives. The increase in value was caused by the increase in the value of the underlying BIO-key stock. In 2005, the company recorded a gain of approximately $15,213,000 related to the decrease in value of the derivatives. The decrease in value is the result of the decline in value of the underlying BIO-key stock.

      A debt discount was recorded when the notes were initially recorded to reflect the FMV of derivatives and warrants related to the debt. The discount is amortized ratably into earnings over the life of the related debt. In 2004 and 2005, the company recorded non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount of approximately $1,258,341 and $4,124,759 respectively.

      The Company recorded a $55,150 and $664,043 charge in 2004 and 2005, respectively, for the non-cash expense of issuing options and warrants to non employees for services.

      Finally, the Company recorded $550,421 and $1,509,880 in 2004 and 2005, respectively, for the non-cash expense related to the amortization of intangibles assets.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company reported positive cash flows related to a decrease in costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $2,468,770. Costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent services which have been performed on long term contracts but have not been invoiced at year end due to milestones contained within the contracts. In 2005, the Company was able to bill the customer due to the fact that the milestones have been reached.

 

The Company experienced positive cash flows of $1,029,404 in 2005 due to increased accrued liabilities related to interest on the 2005 debt as well as contract related costs not being invoiced by vendors. In 2004, the Company experienced positive cash flows of $955,050 related to interest on the 2004 debt as well as liabilities assumed through acquisitions.

 

The Company also experienced a positive cash flow from an increase of $1,191,958 in deferred revenue from 2004 to 2005 due to customers who had purchased and paid for maintenance agreements which the company had to earn typically over a one year period.

 

The overall major drivers in operating cash flow are the current operating costs which are greater than the current revenues. The company has experienced improvements related to the ratio of operating expenses to revenues and expects this trend to continue to improve until such time as the Company is able to generate sustained profitability.

 

FINANCING ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW

 

Financing Activities

 

2005 Senior and Subordinate Term Notes

 

On June 8, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Senior Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor. Under the Senior Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Term Note (the “Senior Convertible Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, convertible into Common Stock of the Company in certain circumstances at $0.85 per share, and issued a warrant (the “Senior Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 444,444 shares of the Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00. The aggregate consideration received by the Company, net of all fees and expenses, for the Senior Convertible Note and the Senior Warrant was approximately $1,841,000. The proceeds from this transaction are to be used for working capital purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Senior Purchase Agreement and the Senior Convertible Notes are secured by a security interest in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

Under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note, we are required to make monthly payments of accrued interest only beginning on July 1, 2005. In addition, the Senior Convertible Note provides for monthly payments of principal in equal 1/32 increments thereof, plus accrued interest, commencing October 1, 2005.

 

We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, effective as of May 31, 2005, (the “Subordinated Purchase Agreement”) with existing shareholders of the Company and other accredited investors (collectively, the “Subordinated Investors”). Under the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Convertible Term Notes (the “Subordinated Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,794,723, respectively convertible into Common Stock of the Company in certain circumstances at $0.70 per share, and issued warrants (the “Subordinated Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 828,066 shares of the Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00. The aggregate consideration received by the Company, net of all fees and expenses, for such Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants was approximately $2,411,000. The proceeds from this transaction are to be used for working capital purposes. The Subordinated Convertible Notes were issued at a purchase price equal to $900 for each $1,000 of principal amount of the Note.

 

28



 

Certain Subordinated Investors purchased additional Subordinated Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000 and received additional Subordinated Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 133,333 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00. The aggregate consideration received by the Company net of all fees and expenses for such Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants was $404,500, which was paid by the Subordinated Investors on July 8, 2005.

 

Under the terms of the Subordinated Convertible Notes, we are required to make quarterly payments of accrued interest only beginning on September 1, 2005. In addition, the Subordinated Convertible Notes provide for quarterly payments of principal in equal increments thereof, plus accrued interest, commencing September 1, 2006 through May 31, 2008, which payments may be made in shares of common stock at the option of each note holder.

 

2005 Amendment and Waivers

 

The Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver with Laurus, dated as of August 31, 2005, pursuant to which the Company was permitted to defer the payment of the monthly principal amounts due and payable for the months of September, October, November and December 2005 under both (a) the Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 issued by the Company to Laurus on September 29,2004 (the “September 2004 Note”), and (b) the Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 issued by the Company to Laurus on June 8, 2005 (the “June 2005 Note”), such aggregate deferred principal amounts being equal to $625,000 and $187,500, respectively.  The deferred principal amount under the September 2004 Note is now due on September 29,2007, the maturity date of that note, and will be paid at the same time the final payments due with respect to that note upon maturity.  The deferred principal amount under the June 2005 Note is now due on June 7, 2008, the maturity date of that note, and will be paid at the same time the final payments due with respect to that note upon maturity.  The Company will remain obligated to pay all monthly interest amounts under these notes as they are currently due.

 

The Company also entered into Amendment and Waivers, dated as of August 31, 2005, pursuant to which certain Subordinated Investors allowed the Company to defer the payment of the monthly principal amounts due and payable for the months of September, October, November and December 2005 under the Convertible Term Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,800,000 issued by the Company to the Subordinated Investors on September 29, 2004 (the “Subordinated Notes”), such aggregate deferred principal amount being equal to $350,004.  The deferred principal amount under each Subordinated Note is now due on September 29, 2007, the maturity date of each such note, and will be paid at the same time the final payments due with respect to each such note upon maturity. The Company will remain obligated to pay all monthly interest amounts under these notes as they are currently due.

 

2006 Amendment and Waiver

Liquidity outlook

 

At December 31, 2005 our total of cash and cash equivalents was $1,422,827. The total was $956,230 and $1,012,790 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We have financed ourselves through access to the capital markets by issuing debt securities, convertible preferred stock and common stock.

 

As of March 23, 2006, we had cash resources of approximately $1,830,000 and $11,277,000 of convertible debt as described in the “Long-Term Obligations” footnote of this report below. We currently require approximately $1,700,000 per month to conduct our operations. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we generated approximately $3,368,000 of revenue and expect to increase quarterly revenue in 2006.

 

The Company has undertaken strategic steps to position itself to realize positive cash flows from operations in the future by increasing revenues and better managing expenses. These steps include the acquisition of two enterprises in 2004. Although the acquisitions inherently produced a greater demand for cash than we would have liked, we are confident that many of the initial costs are isolated in nature and will not be recurring year after year. The Company has also taken strategic steps to downsize the workforce in areas that we felt were either non essential or not in line with where we wanted the Company to develop in the near future. The Company has also recently experienced additional costs associated with various compliance related activities.

 

We may need to obtain additional funding to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. Due to, among other factors, our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion for the year ended December 31, 2005 as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate meaningful revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, or be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates.

RESTATEMENT

 

In the process of reviewing our registration statement for the securities issued in our June 2005 financing, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) raised questions with regard to our convertible term notes suggesting that we consider EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” to evaluate whether there were any embedded derivative instruments and if so, whether they should be accounted for as an equity or liability classification. The SEC staff also commented that the Company should review the convertible notes issued in fiscal 2003 and 2004. The SEC staff also asked us to review adjustments to revenue made in the fourth quarter of 2004. The SEC staff raised the question of whether the transactions had a material impact on previously filed Exchange Act reports and would be better characterized as restatements.

 

There were several items that were identified as requiring restatement, these items were:

 

      Revenue Recognition

The Company reviewed contracts and purchase agreements related to certain non-governmental customers and identified specific contracts for which the initial accounting inflated annual and quarterly revenues and earnings in violation of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These practices were primarily the result of recognizing revenue on transactions with customers that were not creditworthy and recognizing revenue when the earnings process had not been completed. The revenue and related cost has been adjusted on the income statement as well as the related balance sheet accounts.

 

      Accounting for Convertible Financing Arrangements

The Company reviewed the initial accounting for the 7% Convertible Notes issued in 2003, the Senior and Subordinated Convertible Term Notes issued in 2004 and the Senior and Subordinated Convertible Term Notes issued in 2005. During the review the company identified that EITF 00-19 should be applied to evaluate whether any embedded derivative instruments qualify as equity instruments or as liabilities. As such certain embedded derivatives were identified that met the conditions set forth under paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133. These embedded derivative instruments have been evaluated using EITF 00-19 paragraphs 12 to 32 and determined that these instruments would not be classified as components of stockholders equity. The instruments have been deemed liabilities, and as such will be subject to SFAS 133 and should be recorded at fair value. Features that have been evaluated and determined to require such treatment include:

 

      The principal conversion option

 

      The monthly payments conversion option

 

      The interest rate adjustment provisions.

 

Additionally, it was identified that certain other components of the related financings were also incorrectly accounted for. This includes the warrants issued with the above financing and the costs incurred by Company in obtaining the above financings. The correction of prior errors affected the subsequent accounting for debt conversions to equity as well as the amortization of related discounts and deferred finance charges associated with the above financings.

 

The Company reviewed the earnout calculations performed in the prior year for the PSG acquisition and identified an error in the calculation.  As a result the Company has restated the prior year’s impact relating to this error.  At December 31, 2004 the Company had accrued $43,635 for the earnout provision.  The corrected calculation resulted in no accrual being required, and as such the related accrual and goodwill balances have been reduced by $43,635.

 

Management believes the scope and process of its internal review of previously reported financial information was sufficient to identify issues of a material nature that could affect our Consolidated Financial Statements and all dates and periods presented herein have been restated to fairly present the results of our operations.

 

The errors in our previously reported financial information, and the failure to prevent them or detect them in our financial reporting process, were largely attributable to weak internal controls and an inadequate staff of competent accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge of GAAP.

 

As a result of our review and communications with the SEC, we determined that a restatement of previously reported financial information was required. Our previously reported financial information should no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, we have restated our previously reported financial information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and our previously reported unaudited financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of 2003, 2004 and 2005 (the “restatement”). The restatement covers a number of separate matters, each of which is described above.

 

For the quarterly impact of the restatement and the restated financial results for the first, second and third quarters of 2003, 2004 and 2005 see Note X, Results by Quarter.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1.             Basis of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the Company) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

2.             Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from software licensing are recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Accordingly, revenue from software licensing is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

 

The Company intends to enter into arrangements with end users for items which may include software license fees, usage fees and services or various combinations thereof. For each arrangement, revenues will be recognized when evidence of an agreement has been documented, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of fees is probable, delivery of the product has occurred and no other significant obligations remain.

 

Multiple-Element Arrangements: For multiple-element arrangements, each element of the arrangement will be analyzed and the Company will allocate a portion of the total fee under the arrangement to the elements using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of the element, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Vendor specific objective evidence is based on the price the customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately (i.e., software license fees charged when consulting or other services are not provided, hourly rates charged for consulting services when sold separately from a software license or usage fees). If vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for any undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period if the undelivered element is services, or until sufficient objective evidence of fair value exists or all elements have been delivered.

 

License Revenues: Amounts allocated to license revenues are recognized at the time of delivery of the software and all other revenue recognition criteria discussed above have been met.

 

Revenue from licensing software, which requires significant customization and modification, is recognized using the percentage of completion method, based on the hours of effort incurred by the company in relation to the total estimated hours to complete. In instances where third party hardware, software or services form a significant portion of a customer’s contract, the company recognizes revenue for the element of software customization by the percentage of completion method described above. Third party hardware, software, and services are recognized upon shipment or acceptance as appropriate. If the company makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates of the total amount of work expected to be required to customize or modify the software, the timing and revenue recognition, from period to period, and the margins on the project in the reporting period, may differ materially from amounts reported. Revenues earned but not yet billed are shown as an asset in Costs and Earnings in Excess of Billings in the balance sheet. Billings in excess of cost and earnings are reflected as a liability in the balance sheet. Anticipated contract losses are recognized as soon as they become known and are estimable.

 

Service Revenues: Revenues from services are comprised of maintenance and consulting and implementation services. Maintenance revenues include providing for unspecified when-and-if available product updates and customer telephone support services, and are recognized ratably over the term of the service period. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis and include a range of services including installation of software and assisting in the design of interfaces to allow the software to operate in customized environments. Services are generally separable from other elements under the arrangement since performance of the services are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the transaction and are described in the contract such that the total price of the arrangement would be expected to vary as the result of the inclusion or exclusion of the services. Revenues from services are generally recognized as the services are performed.

 

Usage Fees: Usage fees are charged on certain applications based on the customer’s volume of use. Usage revenue is recognized based on the actual level of activity used by the customer or, in the case of fixed-fee arrangements, ratably over the arranged time period.

 

The Company provides customers, free of charge or at a minimal cost, testing kits which potential licensing customers may use to test compatibility/acceptance of the Company’s technology with the customer’s intended applications.

 

3.             Accounting for Acquisitions

 

We have completed our acquisitions of PSG and AMG. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which has resulted in recording significant goodwill and other intangible asset balances. The purchase prices have been allocated to

 

37



 

assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisitions, as determined by management, and by appraisals with respect to identifiable intangible assets. Our accounting for these acquisitions involves significant judgments and estimates regarding fair values of acquired intangible assets, which are based on projections of future revenues and cash flows, assumptions regarding discount factors, royalty rates, tax rates, amortization methodologies and related useful lives. The developed technology (software), copyrighted software, marketing agreements, customer relationships and trademarks were valued using the income approach and are being amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 7 years.

 

4.             Marketable Debt Securities

 

The Company accounts for marketable securities pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115—“Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS 115”). SFAS 115 requires classification of debt and equity securities in three categories: trading securities, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities. Debt and equity securities classified as trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income. Debt and equity securities designated as available-for-sale, whose fair values are readily determinable, are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Debt securities that are expected to be held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. On December 31, 2004, the Company’s investments were all classified as available-for-sale. In January 2005 the Company sold these investments and did not purchase any additional Marketable Debt Securities as of December 31, 2005.

 

5.             Derivative and Warrant financial instruments

 

In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument asset or liability.

 

The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liability is re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial statements.

 

6.             Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of costs of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets., which requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, rather than amortize. Accordingly, the Company has not amortized goodwill. As provided by SFAS No. 142, the Company has elected to perform the annual assessment of the carrying value of all goodwill as of September 30th of each year using a number of criteria, including the value of the overall enterprise. As of December 31, 2005, the Company believes that no material impairment exists. Future impairment charges from previous or future acquisitions, if any, will be reflected as an operating expense in the statement of operations.

 

7.             Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue includes customer advances and amounts that have been billed per the contractual terms but have not been recognized as revenue. The majority of these amounts are related to maintenance contracts for which the revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term, which generally is 12 months from the date the customer accepts the products.

 

8.             Research and Development Expenditures

 

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs primarily related to the development of our software products and improving the efficiency and capabilities of our existing software. Such costs include salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefit costs, materials, supplies, depreciation on research equipment, services provided by outside contractors, and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and general support services. All costs associated with research and development is expensed as incurred.

 

9.             Earnings Per Share Common Stock

 

Earnings per share of common stock-basic is computed by dividing Net Income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Earnings per share of common stock-assuming dilution reflects the maximum

 

38



 

potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and would then share in the net income of the company. See note U. “Earnings Per Share of Common Stock,” for additional information.

 

10.           Income Taxes

 

The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from the differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carry back, carry forward period available under tax law. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, if it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding historical operating results including recent years with reported losses, the estimated timing of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carry forward from expiring unused. Because of the Companies historical performance and estimated future taxable income a full valuation allowance has been established.

 

11.           Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s employee stock compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. Under this method, no compensation expense is recognized as long as the exercise price equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. The Company elected the disclosure-only alternative permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), as amended by FAS 148, for fixed stock-based awards to employees. All non-employee stock-based awards are accounted for at fair value and recorded as compensation expense over the period of service in accordance with FAS 123 and related interpretations.

 

On December 31, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of certain of the outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with option exercise prices greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on such date.  The acceleration applies to all such options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Stock Option Plan, except for options held by the Company’s executive officers subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Options to purchase up to 897,614 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 14% of the total shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding options, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $1.09 and varying remaining vesting schedules, are subject to this acceleration and become immediately vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2005.  The number of shares, exercise prices and other terms of the options subject to the acceleration remain unchanged.

 

As a result of this acceleration, the Company expects to reduce its exposure to the effects of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R), which requires companies to recognize stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options based on the fair value method. The Company currently expects a reduction in stock-based compensation expense associated with this acceleration of approximately $330,000 for fiscal year 2006 and approximately $225,000 for fiscal year 2007.

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFASB No.148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary charge to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 149 requires expanded more prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results.

 

The Company has not adopted a method under SFAS No. 148 to expense stock options but rather continues to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. No stock-based employee compensation expense for options is reflected in net income or loss for the fiscal periods presented as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or lower than the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

 

39



 

12.           Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Estimates and assumptions which, in the opinion of management are used in accounting for, among other things, long-term contracts, allowances for uncollectible receivables, recoverability of goodwill and other long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, valuation of deferred income taxes, convertible notes and related preferred stock, and stock options, discounts, embedded derivatives, and warrants outstanding.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

Not Applicable

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP FAS 115-1”), which provides guidance on determining when investments in certain debt and equity securities are considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and on measuring such impairment loss. FSP FAS 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP FAS 115-1 is required to be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We are required to adopt FSP FAS 115-1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We do not expect that the adoption of the statement will have a material impact on our consolidated results or financial condition.

 

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47), which requires companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities that are conditional on a future event if the amount can be reasonably estimated. We adopted the provisions of FIN 47 on December 31, 2005. No conditional asset retirement obligations were recognized and, accordingly, the adoption of FIN 47 had no effect on our financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. For the Company, SFAS 123R is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We plan to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method described in the statement. Under the modified prospective application method, we will apply the standard to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of the required effective date will be recognized as compensation expense as the requisite service is rendered after the required effective date. We are evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 123R and expect that we will record substantial non-cash stock compensation expenses. The adoption of SFAS 123R is not expected to have a significant effect on our cash flows but is expected to have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations. The future impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend upon the levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders included in the Stock-Based Compensation footnote.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which amends and clarifies existing accounting literature regarding abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted.  The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In Item 3  (Controls and Procedures) of our 10-QSB filings for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, we noted that our independent auditors, in a letter to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors dated April 18, 2005, had identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control systems.

 

In order to ensure that the Company adequately addresses all existing internal control issues, the Company initiated follow-up discussions with its auditors to better determine what constituted these material weaknesses. During these discussions the auditors noted the following weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls: inadequate system to capture disclosure items, inadequate internal process of review for account reconciliations, inadequate documentation of internal controls and inadequate internal processes around drafting of periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In response, the Company has addressed, or is in the process of addressing, each item as follows:

 

      Inadequate System to capture Disclosure Items

      In order to address this issue, the Company has hired a number of senior members of its finance team, including a Corporate Controller, a Manager of Finance, a Manager of Accounting Operations as well as several staff accountants. In addition, the Company has retained the services of several financial consultants.

 

      Inadequate Internal Process of Review for Account Reconciliations

      In order to address this issue, the Company has hired a number of senior members of its finance team as described above. As a result of these additional resources, the Company has instituted a more formal general ledger close process which includes the preparation and review of reconciliations with material activity.

 

      Inadequate Documentation of Internal Controls

      In conjunction with the assistance of certain consultants, the Company is in the process of identifying its key internal controls. These controls will then be documented and used as a starting point to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

      Inadequate Internal Process Around Drafting of periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission

      In order to address this issue, the Company, in addition to hiring the senior members of its finance team above, has increased certain responsibilities of its Audit Committee including oversight of disclosure and reporting processes and is now using a formal disclosure checklist.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of December 31, 2005

 

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2005,was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers (“Co-CEOs”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).

 

As noted above, the Company has identified four areas of material weakness in its internal controls systems. While significant progress was made in 2005 to correct these weaknesses, we believe that all four areas still constitute material weaknesses. Based upon their evaluation of these conditions, the Company’s CO-CEOs and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

The Company intends to continue to implement changes to its internal control system in 2006 to remediate the material weaknesses that have previously been identified. Also, we will continue to make additions to our finance organization and related processes in an effort to strengthen our internal controls.

Board of Directors and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board.

 

The Audit Committee is comprised of John Schoenherr and Jeffrey J. May, who may not qualify as “financial experts” under the rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the Board believes that each Audit Committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the Audit Committee. Additionally, the Audit Committee has the ability on its own to retain independent accountants or consultants whenever it deems appropriate.

 

43



 

Directors Compensation

 

Directors who are also officers of the Company receive no additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors, other than reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings. The Company’s 1996 stock incentive plan provides for the grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to each non-employee director upon first being elected or appointed to the Board of Directors. The Company’s current policy is to issue options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to each non-employee director on an annual basis.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Common Stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. Such officers, directors and ten percent (10%) stockholders are also required by applicable SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all forms filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from such persons that no other reports were required for such persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s officers, directors and ten percent (10%) stockholders were satisfied in a timely fashion.

Employment Agreements

 

MICHAEL W. DEPASQUALE.    On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Michael W. DePasquale to serve as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company at an annual base salary of $250,000 subject to adjustment by the Board of Directors as well as $1,000 per month in lieu of participating in the Company’s medical plan. In addition to the Base Salary and Stock Options, a “Discretionary Bonus” may be awarded to Mr. DePasquale on the basis of merit performance on an annual basis in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. The employment agreement also provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 400,000 shares of Company common stock payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

 

In the event that Mr. DePasquale is terminated without cause, Mr. DePasquale will receive severance payment equal to his base salary for the 6 months. The employment agreement contains standard and customary confidentiality, non-solicitation and “work made for hire” provisions as well as a covenant not to compete which prohibits Mr. DePasquale from doing business with any current or prospective customer of the Company or engaging in a business competitive with that of the Company during the term of his employment and for the one year period thereafter. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time with or without cause. In the event of termination without cause, Mr. DePasquale shall continue to be paid his then current base salary for the greater of six months from the date of such termination or the number of months remaining until the end of the term of the employment agreement.

 

KENNETH S. SOUZA.    In connection with his appointment as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the Company on October 4, 2004, we entered into a one (1) year employment agreement with Kenneth S. Souza. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $200,000 and a performance bonus in the amount of up to $76,000 payable upon achievement of certain performance criteria. Unless notice of non-renewal is provided to Mr. Souza at least two months prior to the end of the term, the employment agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms. In the event that Mr. Souza is terminated without cause, Mr. Souza will receive severance payment equal to his base salary for the greater of 6 months and that number of months remaining until the end of the term. The employment agreement contains standard and customary confidentiality, non-compete and work made for hire provisions.

 

Upon execution of the employment agreement, we issued to Mr. Souza a stock option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.11 per share, the last sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of grant. The option has a term of seven (7) years and vests in three equal annual installments commencing on October 4, 2005. Upon completion of one (1) year of service, Mr. Souza shall be eligible to receive a stock option to purchase up to an additional 300,000 shares of Company stock based upon his performance as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

 

Change in Control Provisions

 

The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (as amended to date, the “1996 Plan”), 1999 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan” and together with the 1996 Plan and 2004 Plan, the “Plans”) provide for the acceleration of the vesting of unvested options upon a “Change in Control” of the Company. A Change in Control is defined in the Plans to include (i) a sale or transfer of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (iii) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and after which the prior shareholders of the Company hold less than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation’s outstanding securities; (iv) the incumbent directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; or (v) a change in control of the Company which would otherwise be reportable under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

In the event of a “Change In Control” each Plan provides for the immediate vesting of all options issued thereunder. The 1999 Plan provides for the Company to deliver written notice to each optionee under the 1999 Plan fifteen (15) days prior to the occurrence of a Change In Control during which all options issued under the 1999 Plan may be exercised. Thereafter, all options issued under the 1999 Plan which are neither assumed or substituted in connection with such transaction, automatically expire unless otherwise determined by the Board. The 1996 Plan provides for all options to remain exercisable for the remainder of their respective terms and permits the Company to make a cash payment to any or all optionees equal to the difference between the exercise price of any or all such options and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the Change In Control. The 2004 Plan enables the Board to provide that all outstanding options be assumed, or equivalent options be substituted by the acquiring or succeeding corporation upon the occurrence of a “Reorganization Event” as defined. If such Reorganization Event also constitutes a Change in Control, then such assumed or substituted options shall be immediately exercisable in full. If the acquiring or succeeding corporation does not agree to assume, or substitute for such options, then the Board, upon written notice to the Participants, may provide that all unexercised options become exercisable in full as of a specified time prior to the Reorganization Event and terminate prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event. Alternatively, if under the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Event, holders of common stock will receive a cash payment for their shares, then the Board may provide that all Participants receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the Acquisition Price and the Option Price multiplied by the number of options held by such Participants.

 

Options issued to executive officers outside of the Plans contain change in control provisions substantially similar to those contained in the 1999 Plan.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and promote: (i) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (ii) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in our other public communications; (iii) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations; (iv) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and (v) accountability for adherence to the code. Any person may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics free of charge by sending a written request for such to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

During 1996, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan).  Under the 1996 Plan, 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 100% of fair market value for incentive stock options and 50% for all others.  The term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years.  Options issued under the Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients.  In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately.  The Plan terminates in May 2005.

 

The Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on or about August 31, 1999. The material terms of the 1999 Plan are summarized below.

 

The 1999 Plan is currently administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Plan Administrator”). The Plan Administrator is authorized to construe the 1999 Plan and any option issued under the 1999 Plan, select the persons to whom options may be granted, and determine the number of shares to be covered by any option, the exercise price, vesting schedule and other material terms of such option.

 

The 1999 Plan provides for the issuance of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company at exercise prices not less than 85% of the last sale price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of grant. Options have terms of not more than 10 years from the date of grant, are subject to vesting as determined by the Plan Administrator and are not transferable without the permission of the Company except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. Options terminate three (3) months after termination of employment or other association with the Company or one (1) year after termination due to disability, death or retirement. In the event that termination of employment or association is for a cause, as that term is defined in the 1999 Plan, options terminate immediately upon such termination. The Plan Administrator has the discretion to extend options for up to three years from the date of termination or disassociation with the Company.

 

The 1999 Plan provides for the immediate vesting of all options in the event of a “Change In Control” of the Company. In the event of a Change In Control, the Company is required to deliver written notice to each optionee under the 1999 Plan fifteen (15) days prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, during which time all options issued under 1999 Plan may be exercised. Thereafter, all options issued under the 1999 Plan which are neither assumed or substituted in connection with such transaction, automatically expire, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Under the 1999 Plan, a “Change In Control” is defined to include (i) a sale or transfer of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (iii) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and after which the prior shareholders of the Company hold less than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation’s outstanding securities; (iv) the incumbent directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; or (v) a change in control of the Company which would otherwise be reportable under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

As of December 31, 2005, there were outstanding options under the 1996 Plan to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock, and no shares were available for future grants.

 

As of December 31, 2005, there were outstanding options under the 1999 Plan to purchase 1,062,125 shares of common stock, and options to purchase an aggregate of 647,132 shares were available for future grants.

 

On October 12, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan has not yet been presented to stockholders for approval and thus incentive stock options are not available under this plan. Under the terms of this plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 85% of fair market value. The term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years. Options issued under the 2004 Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients. In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The 2004 Plan terminates in October 2014.

 

As of December 31, 2005, there were outstanding options under the 2004 Plan to purchase 2,052,860 shares of common stock, and options to purchase an aggregate of 1,947,140 shares were available for future grants.

 

In addition to options issued under the 1996, 1999 and 2004 Plans, the Company has issued options to employees, officers, directors and consultants to purchase common stock under the non plan. As of December 2005, there were outstanding options under the non plan to purchase 3,082,850 shares of common stock. The terms of these options are substantially similar to the provisions of the 1999 Plan and options issued thereunder.

Options Granted to Executive Officers and Directors

 

During 2002, the Company issued options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock to Thomas J. Colatosti upon his appointment as a director of the Company. During 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 2,180,000, 400,000 and 1,155,000 shares, respectively of common stock to its officers and directors. The options were issued at exercise prices equal to the last sales price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of grant, have terms of three (3) to seven (7) years, and vest over a one to three year period.

 

Consulting Arrangement with Thomas J. Colatosti

 

In connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors in September 2002, the Company entered into a consulting arrangement with Thomas J. Colatosti. Under the arrangement, the Company paid Mr. Colatosti $4,000 per month through December 2003 and issued him options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In December 2003, a committee of independent directors renewed this arrangement through December 31, 2004. The committee also issued options to Mr. Colatosti to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.32 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, for serving as Chairman. Effective November 1, 2004, Mr. Colatosti’s monthly consulting fee was increased to $14,500. Mr. Colatosti has substantial experience in the biometric industry and in addition to his role as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, provides extensive service to the Company in the areas of strategic planning and corporate finance.

 

In March 2004, Mr. Colatosti entered into a three year consulting arrangement with the Shaar Fund Ltd., a principal creditor and shareholder of the Company. Under the terms of the arrangement, The Shaar Fund transferred $375,000 principal amount of our secured convertible notes due October 1, 2005 to Mr. Colatosti. On April 28, 2004 the Company issued 3,750 shares of the Company’s Series A 7% convertible preferred stock to Mr. Colatosti in conversion of the $375,000 secured convertible note.

 

On February 7, 2006, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Colatosti, the current Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Colatosti will provide services to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the year ending December 31, 2006, at a rate of $14,500 per month.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

BIO-key International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BIO-key International, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

As described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company restated its 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BIO-key International, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, as discussed in note A to the financial statements, the Company has only recently begun to generate significant revenues, has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These aforementioned issues, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result front this uncertainty. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note A.

BIO-key International, Inc. and Subsidiary

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

 

NOTE A—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Change in Name of Company and State of Incorporation

 

Effective January 1, 2005, BIO-key International, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Old BIO-key”), reincorporated as BIO-key International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “BIO-key”,). The reincorporation was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”); whereby Old BIO-key was merged with and into the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, in order to reincorporate in the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). As a result of the Reincorporation, the legal domicile of the registrant is now Delaware.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company, founded in 1993, made two strategic acquisitions in 2004. The Company acquired Public Safety Group Inc. (“PSG”) in March, 2004, and the Mobile Government division of Aether Systems, Inc. (“AMG” or “Mobile Government”) in September, 2004. The Company is now focused on delivering advanced finger based biometric identification and security solutions and information services to law enforcement, fire service and emergence medical service agencies as well as other government and private sector customers. The Company’s mobile wireless technology provides first responders throughout North America with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state and national databases.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Broad commercial acceptance of the Company’s technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate revenues. As a result of two acquisitions, the Company’s only significant revenues to date have began in the fourth quarter of 2004. The Company recorded approximately $14,226,000 in revenues in 2005. The Company has accumulated losses during 2003 and 2004 of approximately $ 18,405,000, of which approximately $ 14,346,000 was incurred during 2004. The Company reported a profit of approximately $358,000 in 2005. As of December 31, 2005, there was a working capital deficit of approximately $3,600,000.

 

The Company issued notes in 2004 as well as 2005 in amount of approximately $10,101,000 and $5,300,000, respectively. The Company is also currently considering various alternatives to improve its operating results. No assurance can be given that the Company’s operating results will improve as a result of this additional funding or that such funding would not be dilutive to existing stockholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain additional funding, meet its funding requirements on a continuing basis, and succeed in its future operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

1.             Basis of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the Company) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

57



 

2.             Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from software licensing are recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP No. 98-9. Accordingly, revenue from software licensing is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

 

The Company intends to enter into arrangements with end users for items which may include software license fees, usage fees and services or various combinations thereof. For each arrangement, revenues will be recognized when evidence of an agreement has been documented, the fees are fixed or determinable, collection of fees is probable, delivery of the product has occurred and no other significant obligations remain.

 

Multiple-Element Arrangements: For multiple-element arrangements, each element of the arrangement will be analyzed and the Company will allocate a portion of the total fee under the arrangement to the elements using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of the element, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Vendor specific objective evidence is based on the price the customer is required to pay when the element is sold separately (i.e., software license fees charged when consulting or other services are not provided, hourly rates charged for consulting services when sold separately from a software license or usage fees). If vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for any undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the service period if the undelivered element is services, or until sufficient objective evidence of fair value exists or all elements have been delivered.

 

License Revenues: Amounts allocated to license revenues are recognized at the time of delivery of the software and all other revenue recognition criteria discussed above have been met.

 

Revenue from licensing software, which requires significant customization and modification, is recognized using the percentage of completion method, based on the hours of effort incurred by the company in relation to the total estimated hours to complete. In instances where third party hardware, software or services form a significant portion of a customer’s contract, the company recognizes revenue for the element of software customization by the percentage of completion method described above. Third party hardware, software, and services are recognized upon shipment or acceptance as appropriate. If the company makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates of the total amount of work expected to be required to customize or modify the software, the timing and revenue recognition, from period to period, and the margins on the project in the reporting period, may differ materially from amounts reported. Revenues earned but not yet billed are shown as an asset in Costs and Earnings in Excess of Billings in the balance sheet. Billings in excess of cost and earnings are reflected as a liability in the balance sheet. Anticipated contract losses are recognized as soon as they become known and are estimable.

 

Service Revenues: Revenues from services are comprised of maintenance and consulting and implementation services. Maintenance revenues include providing for unspecified when-and-if available product updates and customer telephone support services, and are recognized ratably over the term of the service period. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials basis and include a range of services including installation of software and assisting in the design of interfaces to allow the software to operate in customized environments. Services are generally separable from other elements under the arrangement since performance of the services are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the transaction and are described in the contract such that the total price of the arrangement would be expected to vary as the result of the inclusion or exclusion of the services. Revenues from services are generally recognized as the services are performed.

 

Usage Fees: Usage fees are charged on certain applications based on the customer’s volume of use. Usage revenue is recognized based on the actual level of activity used by the customer or, in the case of fixed-fee arrangements, ratably over the arranged time period.

 

The Company provides customers, free of charge or at a minimal cost, testing kits which potential licensing customers may use to test compatibility/acceptance of the Company’s technology with the customer’s intended applications.

 

3.             Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of certificates of deposit and all other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances in a financial institution in Nevada. These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

 

4.             Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable billed and unbilled are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

 

58



 

5.             Accounting for Acquisitions

 

The Company completed the acquisitions of PSG and AMG. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which has resulted in recording significant goodwill and other intangible asset balances. The purchase prices have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisitions, as determined by management, and by appraisals with respect to identifiable intangible assets. Our accounting for these acquisitions involves significant judgments and estimates regarding fair values of acquired intangible assets, which are based on projections of future revenues and cash flows, assumptions regarding discount factors, royalty rates, tax rates, amortization methodologies and related useful lives. The developed technology (software), copyrighted software, marketing agreements, customer relationships and trademarks were valued using the income approach and are being amortized on a straight line basis over five years, their estimated useful lives.

 

6.             Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over the estimated service lives, principally using straight-line methods. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the lease term, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets other than financing fees are amortized on the straight-line method over their expected useful lives. Financing fees related to the issuance of long-term obligations are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the lives of the related debt using the effective interest rate method. Patent costs are capitalized until patents are awarded. Upon award, such costs are amortized over their respective lives. If a patent is denied, all costs are charged to operations in that year.

 

The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

 

 

Equipment and leasehold improvements

 

 

Equipment

 

3-5 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

3-5 years

Software

The estimated aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the five years following December 31, 2005 is approximately as follows:

7.             Marketable Debt Securities

 

The Company accounts for marketable securities pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115—”Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS 115”). SFAS 115 requires classification of debt and equity securities in three categories: trading securities, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities. Debt and equity securities classified as trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income. Debt and equity securities designated as available-for-sale, whose fair values are readily determinable, are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Debt securities that are expected to be held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. On December 31, 2004, the Company’s investments were all classified as available-for-sale. In January 2005, the Company sold these investments and did not purchase any additional Marketable Debt Securities as of December 31, 2005.

 

59



 

8.             Derivative and Warrant Financial Instruments

 

In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument asset or liability.

 

The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liability is re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial statements.

 

9.             Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of costs of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets., which requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, rather than amortize. Accordingly, the Company has not amortized goodwill. As provided by SFAS No. 142, the Company has elected to perform the annual assessment of the carrying value of all goodwill as of September 30th of each year using a number of criteria, including the value of the overall enterprise. As of December 31, 2005, the Company believes that no material impairment exists. Future impairment charges from previous or future acquisitions, if any, will be reflected as an operating expense in the statement of operations.

 

10.           Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets subject to depreciation and amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of its equipment and leasehold improvements and its intangible assets. Upon indication of possible impairment, the Company evaluates the recovery of held-for-use long-lived assets by measuring the carrying value of the assets against the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. The following circumstances would be considered important and could lead to an impairment review; significant changes in the manner of our using the asset, negative industry or economic trends and underperformance relative to projected operating results.

 

11.           Advertising Expense

 

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, were approximately $108,000, $146,000, and $18,000, respectively.

 

12.           Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue includes customer advances and amounts that have been billed per the contractual terms but have not been recognized as revenue. The majority of these amounts are related to maintenance contracts for which the revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term, which generally is 12 months from the date the customer accepts the products.

 

13.           Research and Development Expenditures

 

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs primarily related to the development of our software products and improving the efficiency and capabilities of our existing software. Such costs include salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefit costs, materials, supplies, depreciation on research equipment, services provided by outside contractors, and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and general support services. All costs associated with research and development is expensed as incurred.

14.           Earnings Per Share Common Stock

 

Earnings per share of common stock-basic is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Earnings per share of common stock-assuming dilution reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and would then share in the net income of the company. See Note U, “Earnings Per Share of Common Stock,” for additional information.

 

15.           Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s employee stock compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. Under this method, no compensation expense is recognized as long as the exercise price equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. The Company elected the disclosure-only alternative permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), as amended by FAS 148, for fixed stock-based awards to employees. All non-employee stock-based awards are accounted for at fair value and recorded as compensation expense over the period of service in accordance with FAS 123 and related interpretations.

 

On December 31, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of certain of the outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with option exercise prices greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on such date. The acceleration applies to all such options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Stock Option Plan, except for options held by the Company’s executive officers subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Options to purchase up to 897,614 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 14% of the total shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding options, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $1.09 and varying remaining vesting schedules, are subject to this acceleration and become immediately vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2005. The number of shares, exercise prices and other terms of the options subject to the acceleration remain unchanged.

 

As a result of this acceleration, the Company expects to reduce its exposure to the effects of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R), which requires companies to recognize stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options based on the fair value method. The Company currently expects reductions in stock-based compensation expense associated with this acceleration of approximately $330,000 for fiscal year 2006 and approximately $225,000 for fiscal year 2007.

 

Proforma Compensation Disclosure

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 149 requires expanded, more prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results.

 

The Company has not adopted a method under SFAS No. 148 to expense stock options, but rather continues to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. No stock-based employee compensation expense for options is reflected in net income or losses for the fiscal periods presented as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or lower than the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

 

61



 

If compensation expense for the stock options granted had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s proforma net income (loss) available to common shareholders and proforma income (loss) available to common shareholders per share would have been as follows:

16.           Income Taxes

 

The provision for, or benefit from, income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes using the liability method. Such temporary differences result primarily from the differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Future realization of deferred income tax assets requires sufficient taxable income within the carryback, carryforward period available under tax law. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis whether, based on all available evidence, if it is probable that the deferred income tax assets are realizable. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” includes the consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding historical operating results including recent years with reported losses, the estimated timing of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, and potential tax planning strategies which may be employed to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused. Because of the Company’s historical performance and estimated future taxable income a full valuation allowance has been established.

 

17.           Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Estimates and assumptions, in the opinion of management are used in accounting for, among other things, long-term contracts, allowances for uncollectible receivables, recoverability of goodwill and other long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, valuation of deferred income taxes, convertible notes and related discounts, embedded derivates, preferred stock, stock options, and warrants outstanding.

18.           Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP FAS 115-1”), which provides guidance on determining when investments in certain debt and equity securities are considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and on measuring such impairment loss. FSP FAS 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP FAS 115-1 is required to be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We are required to adopt FSP FAS 115-1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We do not expect that the adoption of the statement will have a material impact on our consolidated results or financial condition.

 

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47), which requires companies to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities that are conditional on a future event if the amount can be reasonably estimated. We adopted the provisions of FIN 47 on December 31, 2005. No conditional asset retirement obligations were recognized and, accordingly, the adoption of FIN 47 had no effect on our financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. For the Company, SFAS 123R is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We plan to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective application method described in the statement. Under the modified prospective application method, we will apply the standard to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of the required effective date will be recognized as compensation expense as the requisite service is rendered after the required effective date. We are evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 123R and expect that we will record substantial non-cash stock compensation expenses. The adoption of SFAS 123R is not expected to have a significant effect on our cash flows but is expected to have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations. The future impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend upon the levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders included in the Stock-Based Compensation footnote.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which amends and clarifies existing accounting literature regarding abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

NOTE B—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

RESTATEMENT

 

In the process of reviewing our registration statement for the securities issued in our June 2005 financing, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) raised questions with regard to our convertible term notes suggesting that we consider EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” to evaluate whether there were any embedded derivative instruments and if so, whether they should be accounted for as an equity or liability classification. The SEC staff also commented that the Company should review the convertible notes issued in fiscal 2003 and 2004. The SEC staff also asked us to review adjustments to revenue made in the fourth quarter of 2004. The SEC staff raised the question of whether the transactions had a material impact on previously filed Exchange Act reports and would be better characterized as restatements.

 

There were several items that were identified as requiring restatement, these items were:

 

              Revenue Recognition

The Company reviewed contracts and purchase agreements related to certain non-governmental customers and identified specific contracts for which the initial accounting inflated annual and quarterly revenues and earnings in violation of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These practices were primarily the result of recognizing revenue on transactions with customers that were not creditworthy and recognizing revenue when the earnings process had not been completed. The revenue and related cost has been adjusted on the income statement as well as the related balance sheet accounts.

 

              Accounting for Convertible Financing Arrangements

The Company reviewed the initial accounting for the 7% Convertible Notes issued in 2003, the Senior and Subordinated Convertible Term Notes issued in 2004 and the Senior and Subordinated Convertible Term Notes issued in 2005. During the review the company identified that EITF 00-19 should be applied to evaluate whether any embedded derivative instruments qualify as equity instruments or as liabilities. As such certain embedded derivatives were identified that met the conditions set forth under paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133. These embedded derivative instruments have been evaluated using EITF 00-19 paragraphs 12 to 32 and determined that these instruments would not be classified as components of stockholders equity. The instruments have been deemed liabilities, and as such will be subject to SFAS 133 and should be recorded at fair value. Features that have been evaluated and determined to require such treatment include:

 

      The principal conversion option

 

      The monthly payments conversion option

 

      The interest rate adjustment provisions.

 

Additionally, it was identified that certain other components of the related financings were also incorrectly accounted for. This includes the warrants issued with the above financing and the costs incurred by Company in obtaining the above financings. The correction of prior errors affected the subsequent accounting for debt conversions to equity as well as the amortization of related discounts and deferred finance charges associated with the above financings.

 

The Company reviewed the earnout calculations performed in the prior year for the PSG acquisition and identified an error in the calculation. As a result, the Company has restated the prior year’s impact relating to this error. At December 31, 2004 the Company had accrued $43,635 for the earnout provision. The corrected calculation resulted in no accrual being required, and as such the related accrual and goodwill balances have been reduced by $43,635.

 

Management believes the scope and process of its internal review of previously reported financial information was sufficient to identify issues of a material nature that could affect our Consolidated Financial Statements and all dates and periods presented herein have been restated to fairly present the results of our operations.

 

The errors in our previously reported financial information, and the failure to prevent them or detect them in our financial reporting process, were largely attributable to weak internal controls and an inadequate staff of competent accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge of GAAP.

 

As a result of our review and communications with the SEC, we determined that a restatement of previously reported financial information was required. Our previously reported financial information should no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, we have restated our previously reported financial information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and our previously reported unaudited financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of 2003, 2004 and 2005 (the “restatement”). The restatement covers a number of separate matters, each of which is described above.

NOTE C—ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition of Public Safety Group, Inc.

 

On March 30, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Public Safety Group, Inc. (PSG), a privately-held leader in wireless solutions for law enforcement and public safety markets based in Winter Park, Florida. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among the Company, BIO-Key Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PSG and all of the shareholders of PSG. As a result of this transaction PSG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and now constitutes a division of our business specializing in the law enforcement and public safety markets (the Public Safety Division). The business combination was accounted for using the purchase method.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of PSG from the former shareholders of PSG in exchange for an aggregate of 2,416,108 shares of our common stock issued to the former shareholders of PSG, 6,000 shares of our common stock issued to Harward Investments, Inc. (Harward) pursuant to an arrangement involving the discharge of certain outstanding debt obligations of PSG to Harward as of March 30, 2004, $500,000 in cash, and our assumption of $600,000 in aggregate net liabilities of PSG. The Merger Agreement provides any liability or obligation of PSG in excess of such $600,000 limitation, whether arising before or after the effective date of the merger, will be solely the responsibility of the former shareholders of PSG. Additional earnout consideration, determined as a proportion of revenues attained by the Public Safety Division over fiscal years 2004 and 2005, may be paid to the former shareholders of PSG. The Company will make payments of such additional consideration on the last day of the month following each month in which the Public Safety Division achieves specified revenue milestones during fiscal years 2004 and 2005. Such payments will be made in cash, unless the aggregate amount of earnout consideration exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate consideration paid by the Company in the merger transaction. Any such excess amounts will be paid in shares of our common stock priced as of two (2) days prior to the date on which any earnout payment becomes due. No earn out was paid in 2004 and 2005, nor does the Company expect to pay any in 2006. In connection with this acquisition, three former employees of PSG, who were also shareholders of PSG, entered into two-year employment agreements with the Company to serve within the Public Safety Division.

 

The 2,416,108 shares issued to the PSG shareholders (the Merger Shares) are subject to escrow provisions contained in the Merger Agreement and a related escrow agreement, which provide for periodic releases of the shares from escrow on a schedule determined by the revenues achieved by the Public Safety Division during fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The owners of such escrowed shares, however, will continue to enjoy all the rights and privileges attributable to the shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote and receive dividends. The principal terms of the escrow arrangement are as follows:

 

      One-twelfth (1/12 ) of the Merger Shares were held in escrow for the purpose of securing certain prior obligations of PSG to Harward.

 

      The remaining eleven-twelfths (11/12) of the Merger Shares will be released to the former shareholders of PSG at quarterly intervals, on a distribution schedule determined by the revenues achieved by the Public Safety Division during 2004. According to the distribution schedule, all of the Merger Shares will be released as early as September 30, 2006 but no later than December 31, 2007.

 

      Of the remaining eleven-twelfths (11/12) of the Merger Shares, those shares owned by former employees of PSG who became our employees by virtue of the merger transaction are subject to repurchase by us under certain circumstances involving the termination of such employee’s employment. Shares remaining in escrow may also be used to fund indemnification obligations of the former PSG shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

Through March 15, 2006, 1,298,541 Merger Shares have been released from escrow under the Merger Agreement. The Company did not finalize the purchase price until March 31, 2005.

Acquisition of Mobile Government

 

On September 30, 2004, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Mobile Government division of Aether Systems, Inc (Aether). The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $12,198,171, which includes a $311,537 post closing reduction in deferred rent and a working capital adjustment payment of $341,878 made to Aether during December 2004. The Company did not finalize the purchase price of Aether Mobile Government until September 30, 2005.

Total purchase price

 

12,198,171

 

 

In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued a subordinated secured promissory note to Aether in the face amount of $6,884,588 (the “Aether Note”). The Aether Note evidences a contingent reimbursement obligation of the Company to Aether and a surety fee payable by the Company to Aether, in each case with respect to a letter of credit maintained by Aether for the Company’s benefit in connection with the acquisition. The Company’s obligations under the Aether Note are secured by a security interest granted to Aether in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets subordinate to the security interest described in the Long-Term Obligations footnote.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Mobile Government division, the company was required to place approximately $2,750,000 in escrow as of September 30, 2004, for the following:

 

$1,000,000 in escrow deposit supporting a $6,884,588 subordinated secured promissory note issued to Aether to secure performance obligations assumed under a contract with Hamilton County, Ohio. The obligation is expected to extend for one year after final acceptance of the system by the customer. Acceptance is expected to occur in 2006.

 

$1,000,000 in escrow available to Lockheed Martin in the event of non-payment of liabilities for work performed on a contract with the Pennsylvania State Police. The escrow is available to Lockheed Martin until conditional acceptance of certain defined milestones. During 2005, the entire escrow was returned to the Company upon successful completion of a project milestone.

 

There is approximately $750,000 in escrow which is available to the landlord of a subleased facility in the event the company defaults on a lease. The funds will not be available for use by the company until the termination of the lease in August 2008.

The acquisitions of the Mobile Government Division from Aether Systems, Inc., (“Mobile Government”) and of Public Safety Group (“PSG) required a significant increase in accounting operations on the part of the Company. At the time of the acquisitions the Company received some detailed information, however the period that was required to identify and measure the fair value of all of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed through the acquisition was not feasible given the existing staffing constraints of the organization. In order to comply with the fair value requirement noted in paragraph 6 of EITF 01-03, the Company conducted it’s review of the acquired net assets of both PSG and Mobile Government as of the dates of acquisition, March 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 respectively, and determined an initial price allocation. The Company, subsequent to this initial price allocation and through the course of ongoing reviews and assessments of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed through the acquisition, determined that there were several adjustments that were required. The information that helped determine these adjustments became available and obtainable subsequent to the acquisition date. Thus, the Company has made adjustments accordingly subsequent to the acquisition date in accordance with the definition of “allocation period” in Appendix F of FAS 141. These adjustments consisted of deferred revenue adjustments, recalculation of deferred rent, working capital adjustments, and contingent purchase prices adjustments and project related adjustments. The Company finalized the allocation of purchase price for PSG and Mobile Government as of March 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

 

Liquidated Damages

 

The Company may have to pay liquidated damages to customers in certain circumstance, including instances where its sub-contractors do not perform on time. In addition, the Company sometimes indemnifies certain of its customers against damages, if any, they might incur as a result of a claim brought against them related to third party software imbedded in the Company's products.

 

The Company's most significant exposure to liquidated and other damages is with its two largest uncompleted contracts with the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and Hamilton County, Ohio (Hamilton). The PSP and Hamilton contracts limit the Company's liability for damage to approximately $7,000,000 and $10,000,000, respectively. The Company's management believes both contracts will be completed within contract terms including defined specification for performance, and accordingly, payments of damages under the contracts are not likely. However, the projects are not complete and there can be no assurances damages will not be incurred in the future. If damages are incurred there can be no assurance that any amounts required to be paid will not be material to the financial statements.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

In some instances the Company may make commitments to provide additional products or services to customers beyond those obligations specified in the contract or those provided in standard maintenance agreements or ordinary upgrades. These commitments usually arise in complex customer installations and are granted to help ensure customer satisfaction. As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 there was no material requirement for an accrued warranty liability reserve.

NOTE D—CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

Financial instruments and long-term contracts, which potentially subject the Company to risk, primarily consist of receivables and costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The company extends credit to customers on an unsecured basis in the normal course of business. The company's policy is to perform an analysis of the recoverability of its accounts receivable and costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at the end of each reporting period and to establish allowances where appropriate. The company analyzes historical bad debts and contract losses, customer concentrations, and customer credit-worthiness when evaluating the adequacy of the allowances.

 

As of December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, one, two, and three customers accounted for approximately 11%, 27%, and 82% of the company's outstanding accounts receivable balance, respectively. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 one customer accounted for approximately 86% of the costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, two, one, and one customer(s) accounted for approximately 16%, 21% and 46%  of the Company's revenue, respectively.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 the customers generating 16% and 21% of the Company's revenue, respectively, were customers of the Law Enforcement segment. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the customer generating 46% of the companies revenue was a customer of the Biometrics segment.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 sales to governmental entities amounted to approximately 79% and 89% of total revenue.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 governmental customers amounted to approximately 74% and 62% of total accounts receivable.

Deferred Offering Costs

 

In March 2002, the Company engaged an investment banking firm to advise the Company regarding raising additional capital through the potential future issuance of the Company's equity, debt or convertible securities. The firm received a nonrefundable retainer fee of $50,000, out of pocket costs of $14,900 and has been granted a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share through March 22, 2006. The estimated value of the warrant is $17,000. These deferred costs were charged to operations in 2004 when this engagement terminated.

 

The Company also engaged the services of an investment banking firm in connection with the issuance of the Company’s debt securities in 2004 and 2005. The Company issued the firm warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock on three separate occasions. On September 29, 2004, the investment banking firm was issued 620,667 warrants with a fair market value of $534,201. These warrants have an exercise price of $1.55 and are exercisable through September 29, 2009.

NOTE J - RELATED PARTY

 

Consulting Arrangement with Thomas J. Colatosti

 

In connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors in September 2002, the Company entered into a consulting arrangement with Thomas J. Colatosti. Under the arrangement, the Company paid Mr. Colatosti $4,000 per month through December 2003 and issued him options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. In December 2003, a committee of independent directors renewed this arrangement through December 31, 2004. The committee also issued options to Mr. Colatosti to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.32 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, for serving as Chairman. Effective November 1, 2004, Mr. Colatosti's monthly consulting fee was increased to $14,500. Mr. Colatosti has substantial experience in the biometric industry and in addition to his role as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, provides extensive service to the Company in the areas of strategic planning and corporate finance. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, approximately $102,000 and $69,000 was paid, respectively. Mr. Colatosti agreed to waive his fees for five months in 2005.

 

In March 2004, Mr. Colatosti entered into a three year consulting arrangement with the Shaar Fund Ltd., a principal creditor of the Company. Under the terms of the arrangement, The Shaar Fund transferred $375,000 principal amount of our secured convertible notes due October 1, 2005 to Mr. Colatosti. On April 28, 2004 the Company issued 3,750 shares of the Company's Series A 7% convertible preferred stock to Mr. Colatosti in conversion of the $375,000 secured convertible note.

Maintenance contracts on uncompleted projects are recognized ratably over the applicable term. The term for these contracts begin upon the completion and acceptance of the long term projects, which can be delayed based on various criteria ranging from customer constraints to project change orders. Because of the uncertainty of the timing of acceptance on these long-term projects this deferred revenue has been classified as a long-term liability.

 

Fully deferred systems, installation and acceptance revenue relates to projects that have been billed per the contractual terms, however because of undelivered elements or acceptance criteria revenue has not yet been recognized. These amounts are expected to be completed within the next 12 months and are classified as current liabilities.

Senior Convertible Term Notes

 

2004 Notes

 

On September 29, 2004, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Senior Purchase Agreement") with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") and certain other institutional and accredited investors (together with Laurus, the "Senior Investors"). Under the Senior Purchase Agreement, the Company issued secured convertible term notes (the "Senior Convertible Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $5,050,000, convertible into common stock of the Company at $1.35 per share, and issued warrants (the "Senior Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 1,122,222 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share.

 

The proceeds from this transaction were used in part to finance the Company's acquisition of Aether Mobile Government (the "Aether Acquisition"). The Company's obligations under the Senior Purchase Agreement, the Senior Convertible Notes and the Senior Warrants are secured by a security interest in all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

 

78



 

Under the terms of the Senior Convertible Notes, we are required to make monthly payments of accrued interest beginning on November 1, 2004. In addition, the Senior Convertible Notes provide for monthly payments of principal in equal monthly increments of $157,813 thereof, plus accrued interest, commencing December 1, 2004. The Company made principal payments of $1,563 in December 2004 and $1,453,831 in 2005, $67,500 was also converted into common stock during 2005. The Senior Convertible Notes bear interest at an initial rate equal to the prime rate plus two percent (2%), subject to a six percent (6%) floor. The interest rate on the Senior Convertible Notes is subject to reduction on a month-by-month basis if specified conditions are met. In particular, if (a) we register the common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Notes and Senior Warrants on a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (b) our common stock is trading at a 25% or greater premium to the note conversion price, then the interest rate will be adjusted downward by 2.0% for each incremental 25% increase over the note conversion price.

 

Alternatively, if (x) we have not registered such common stock under an effective registration statement, but (y) our common stock is trading at a 25% or greater premium to the note conversion price, and then the interest rate will be adjusted downward by 1.0% for each incremental 25% increase over the note conversion price. The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 was 7.25%.

 

For any cash payments we make on the Senior Convertible Notes (e.g., any amounts due that are not converted into common stock), we are required to pay an amount equal to 102% of the principal amount due. Accordingly, an additional principal amount of $101,000 has been included in outstanding Senior Convertible Notes and in the related discounts on long-term obligations. In addition, we can prepay the note at any time upon payment of an amount equal to 110% of the then outstanding principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

The Senior Investors have the option at any time to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.35 per share. In addition, for each monthly payment under the note, the Senior Investors will be obligated to convert a portion of the monthly payment into common stock at the applicable conversion price, so long as:

 

              the average closing price of our common stock (for the five trading days immediately preceding the payment date) is greater than $1.48 per share (which represents 110% of the note conversion price, based on the initial conversion price of $1.35),

 

              Such amount being converted does not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume for such immediately preceding twenty-two trading days, and

 

              The shares of common stock underlying the note are registered under an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission

 

The terms of the Senior Convertible Notes and Senior Warrants prohibit conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants to the extent that conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants would result in any holder thereof, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. A holder may waive the 4.99% limitation upon 75 days' prior written notice to us. Also, this limitation does not preclude the holder from converting or exercising the note or warrant and selling shares underlying the note or warrant in stages over time where each stage does not cause the holder and its affiliates to beneficially own shares in excess of the limitation amount.

 

As security for our obligations to the Senior Investors, we, along with our wholly-owned subsidiary Public Safety Group, Inc. ("PSG"), granted to the Senior Investors a blanket security interest in all of our assets, and we entered into a stock pledge with the Senior Investors for the capital stock in PSG. If an event of default occurs under the Senior Convertible Notes or the other related investment agreements, 120% of the unpaid principal balance on the Senior Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest and fees, shall become immediately due and the Senior Investors shall be entitled to payment of a default interest rate of 1.5% per month on all amounts due under the Senior Convertible Notes. Such events of default include the following:

 

              A failure to pay interest and principal payments under the Senior Convertible Notes within three days of when due;

 

              a breach by us of any material covenant or term or condition of the Senior Convertible Notes or in any of the investment agreements, if not cured within 30 days of such breach;

 

              A breach by us of any material representation or warranty made in the Senior Convertible Notes or in any of the investment agreements;

 

              If we make an assignment for the benefit of our creditors, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for us, or any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by us, or any involuntary proceeding is instituted against us if not vacated within 60 days;

 

              the filing of any money judgment or similar final process against us for more than $50,000, which remains unvacated, unbonded or

 

79



 

unstayed for a period of 30 days;

 

              If our common stock is suspended for five consecutive days or for five days during any ten consecutive days from a principal market or pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission stop order; and

 

              A failure by us to timely deliver shares of common stock when due upon conversions of the Senior Convertible Notes.

 

As of December 31, 2004 the Company was in default of one of its December 1 principal payments. The Company cured this default on January 5, 2005 and has received a waiver from the Senior Investors, thus avoiding any penalties.

 

Upon an event of default, the Senior Lenders will be entitled to specified remedies, including remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

We have registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale the shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes and upon exercise of the Senior Warrants. If we fail to comply with our registration obligations, the Senior Investors will be entitled to certain specified remedies, including monetary liquidated damages. In particular, for each 30 days (or such pro rated number of days) that we are out of compliance with our registration obligations, we will be subject to a liquidated damage assessment of 2% of the original principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes.

 

Each Senior Investor has agreed, pursuant to the Senior Purchase Agreement, that neither it nor any of its affiliates and investment partners will (and will not cause any other person or entity, directly or indirectly or indirectly, to) engage in “short sales” of our common stock for as long as any Senior Convertible Notes held by it remain outstanding. “Short sales” are contracts for the sale of shares of stock that the seller does not own, or certificates which are not within the seller’s control, so as to be available for delivery at the time when, under applicable rules, delivery must be made.

 

2005 Notes

 

On June 8, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Senior Purchase Agreement”) with Laurus Master Fund Ltd (“Laurus”). Under the Senior Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Term Note (the “Senior Convertible Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, convertible into Common Stock of the Company in certain circumstances at $1.35 per share, and issued a warrant (the “Senior Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 444,444 shares of the Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.55. The aggregate consideration received by the Company, net of all fees and expenses, for the Senior Convertible Note and the Senior Warrant was approximately $1,841,000. The proceeds from this transaction are to be used for working capital purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Senior Purchase Agreement and the Senior Convertible Notes are secured by a security interest in all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. 

 

Under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note, we are required to make monthly payments of accrued interest only beginning on July 1, 2005. In addition, the Senior Convertible Note provides for monthly payments of principal in equal 1/32 increments thereof, plus accrued interest, commencing October 1, 2005. The Senior Convertible Note bears interest at an initial rate equal to the prime rate plus two percent (2%), subject to a six percent (6%) floor. The interest rate on the Senior Convertible Note is subject to reduction on a month-by-month basis if the following specified conditions are met. If (a) we register the common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Note and Senior Warrant on a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (b) our common stock is trading at a 25% or greater premium to the note conversion price, then the interest rate will be adjusted downward by 2.0% for each incremental 25% increase over the note conversion price. Alternatively, if (x) we have not registered such Common stock under an effective registration statement, but (y) our common stock is trading at a 25% or greater premium to the note conversion price, and then the interest rate will be adjusted downward by 1.0% for each incremental 25% increase over the note conversion price.  In no event shall the interest rate be less than 0%.

 

For any cash payments we make on the Senior Convertible Note (e.g., any amounts due that are not converted into common stock),we are required to pay an amount equal to 102% of the principal amount due. In addition, we can prepay the note at any time upon payment of an amount equal to110% of the then outstanding principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Laurus has the option at any time to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Convertible Note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.35 per share. In addition, for each monthly payment under the note, Laurus will be obligated to convert a portion of the monthly payment into common stock at the applicable conversion price, so long as:

 

•     the average closing price of our common stock (for the five trading days immediately preceding the payment date) is greater than $1.48 per share (which represents 110% of the note conversion price, based on the initial conversion price of $1.35),

 

•     such amount being converted does not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume for such immediately preceding twenty-two trading days, and

 

      The shares of common stock underlying the note are registered under an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The terms of the Senior Convertible Note and Senior Warrant prohibit conversion of the note or exercise of the warrant to the extent that conversion of the note and exercise of the warrant would result in any holder thereof, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. A holder may waive the 4.99% limitation upon 75 days’ prior written notice to us. Also, this limitation does not preclude the holder from converting or exercising the note or warrant and selling shares underlying the note or warrant in stages overtime where each stage does not cause the holder and its affiliates to beneficially own shares in excess of the limitation amount.

 

As security for our obligations to Laurus, we, along with our wholly-owned subsidiary Public Safety Group, Inc. (“PSG”), have granted to Laurus a blanket security interest in all of our assets, and we have entered into a stock pledge with Laurus for the capital stock in PSG. If an event of default occurs under the Senior Convertible Note or the other related investment agreements, 120% of the unpaid principal balance on the Senior Convertible Note, plus accrued interest and fees, shall become immediately due and Laurus shall be entitled to payment of a default interest rate of 1.5% per month on all amounts due under the Senior Convertible Note. Such events of default include the following:

 

•     A failure to pay interest and principal payments under the Senior Convertible Note within three days of when due;

 

•     a breach by us of any material covenant or term or condition of the Senior Convertible Note or in any of the investment agreements, if not cured within 30 days of such breach;

 

80



 

•     A breach by us of any material representation or warranty made in the Senior Convertible Note or in any of the investment agreements;

 

•     if we make an assignment for the benefit of our creditors, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for us, or any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by us, or any involuntary proceeding is instituted against us if not vacated within 60 days;

 

•     the filing of any money judgment or similar final process against us for more than $50,000, which remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 30 days;

 

•     if our common stock is suspended for five consecutive days or for five days during any ten consecutive days from a principal market or pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission stop order; and

 

•     A failure by us to timely deliver shares of common stock when due upon conversions of the Senior Convertible Note.

 

Upon an event of default, Laurus will be entitled to specified remedies, including remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

We have agreed to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale the shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Note and upon exercise of the Senior Warrant. Under the registration rights agreement, we were obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 8, 2005, and to use reasonable commercial efforts to have the registration statement declared effective not later than September 6, 2005. The resale registration statement was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2005 for the shares underlying the Senior Convertible Note and Senior Warrant. If we fail to comply with our registration obligations, Laurus will be entitled to certain specified remedies, including monetary liquidated damages. In particular, for each 30 days (or such pro rated number of days) that we are out of compliance with our registration obligations, we will be subject to a liquidated damage assessment of 2% of the original principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note. As of December 31, 2005, this registration statement has not been declared effective, therefore, the Company has approximately $113,000 reserved for payment of liquidating damages. These damages were limited by a portion that had been waived by Laurus during 2005.

 

Each Senior Investor has agreed, pursuant to the Senior Purchase Agreement, that neither it nor any of its affiliates and investment partners will (and will not cause any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to) engage in "short sales" of our common stock for as long as any Senior Convertible Notes held by it remain outstanding. "Short sales" are contracts for the sale of shares of stock that the seller does not own, or certificates which are not within the seller's control, so as to be available for delivery at the time when, under applicable rules, delivery must be made.

 

Subordinated Convertible Term Notes

 

2004 Notes

 

On September 29, 2004, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Subordinated Purchase Agreement") with The Shaar Fund, Ltd. ("Shaar") and other existing shareholders of the Company and accredited investors (collectively, the "Subordinated Investors") for $4,950,000. Under the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, the Company issued unsecured convertible term notes (the "Subordinated Convertible Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $4,950,000, convertible into common stock of the Company in certain circumstances at $1.35 per share, and issued warrants (the "Subordinated Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 1,099,997 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share. The proceeds from this transaction were used in part to finance a portion of the Aether Acquisition and will be used in part for working capital purposes.

 

Under the terms of the Subordinated Convertible Notes, we are required to make monthly payments of accrued interest only beginning on November 1, 2004. In addition, the Subordinated Convertible Notes provide for monthly payments of principal in equal monthly increments of $154,688 thereof, plus accrued interest, commencing February 1, 2005, which payments may be made in shares of common stock at the option of each note holder. The Subordinate Investors converted $135,000 of these notes in 2004 and $1,996,420 in 2005.  They also made principal payments of $454,380 in 2005.  The Subordinated Convertible Notes bear interest at an initial rate equal to the prime rate plus seven and one-half percent (7.5%), subject to an eleven percent (11%) floor.

 

81



 

We may prepay the Subordinated Convertible Notes at any time upon payment of an amount equal to 110% of the then outstanding principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon any such prepayment, the Senior Convertible Notes must also be prepaid. The Subordinated Investors have the option at any time to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.35 per share. During 2004, certain subordinated investors converted an aggregate principal amount of $135,000 into 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

 

The terms of the Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants prohibit conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants to the extent that conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants would result in any holder thereof, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. A holder may waive the 4.99% limitation upon 75 days' prior written notice to us. Also, this limitation does not preclude the holder from converting or exercising the note or warrant and selling shares underlying the note or warrant in stages over time where each stage does not cause the holder and its affiliates to beneficially own shares in excess of the limitation amount.

 

If an event of default occurs under the Subordinated Convertible Notes or the other related investment agreements, the unpaid principal balance on the Subordinated Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest, shall, at the noteholder's option, become immediately due and the Subordinated Investors shall be entitled to payment of additional default interest at the rate of 2.0% per annum on all amounts due under the Subordinated Convertible Notes. Such events of default include the following:

 

              A failure to pay interest and principal payments under the Subordinated Convertible Notes within three days of when due;

 

              a breach by us of any covenant, term or condition in any material respect of the Subordinated Convertible Notes or in any of the investment agreements, if not cured within 30 days of such breach;

 

              any representation or warranty made in the Subordinated Convertible Notes or in any of the investment agreements being false or misleading in any material respect;

 

              If we make an assignment for the benefit of our creditors, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for us, or any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by us, or any involuntary proceeding is instituted against us;

 

              the filing of any money judgment or similar final process against us for more than $50,000, which remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 30 days;

 

              if our common stock is suspended for five consecutive days or for five days during any ten consecutive days from a principal market or pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission stop order;

 

              A failure by us to timely deliver shares of common stock when due upon conversions of the Subordinated Convertible Notes; and

 

              A change in our controlling ownership.

 

Upon an event of default, the rights and remedies of the Subordinated Investors will be subordinate to those of the Senior Investors pursuant to Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 30, 2004 by and among Laurus, as Collateral Agent, Shaar, as Purchaser Agent, Aether Systems, Inc., PSG and the Company.

 

We have registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale the shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Convertible Notes and upon exercise of the Subordinated Warrants. If we fail to comply with our registration obligations, the Subordinated Investors will be entitled to certain specified remedies, including monetary liquidated damages. In particular, for each 30 days (or such pro rated number of days) that we are out of compliance with our registration obligations, we will be subject to a liquidated damage assessment of 2% of the original principal amount of the Subordinated Convertible Notes.

 

Each Subordinated Investor has agreed, pursuant to the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, that neither it nor any of its affiliates and investment partners will (and will not cause any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to) engage in "short sales" of our common stock for as long as any Subordinated Convertible Notes held by it remain outstanding.

 

2005 Notes

 

We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, effective as of May 31, 2005, (the “Subordinated Purchase Agreement”) with existing shareholders of the Company and other accredited investors (collectively, the “Subordinated Investors”). Under the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Convertible Term Notes (the “Subordinated Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,794,723,convertible into Common Stock of the Company in certain circumstances at $1.35 per share, and issued warrants (the “Subordinated Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 828,066 shares of the Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.50. The aggregate consideration received by the Company, net of all fees and expenses, for such Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants was approximately $2,411,000. The proceeds from this transaction are to be used for working capital purposes. The Subordinated Convertible Notes were issued at a purchase price equal to $900 for each $1,000 of principal amount of the Note.

 

Certain Subordinated Investors purchased additional Subordinated Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000 and received additional Subordinated Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 133,333 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.50. The aggregate consideration received by the Company net of all fees and expenses for such Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants was $404,500, which was paid by the Subordinated Investors on July 8, 2005.

 

82



 

Under the terms of the Subordinated Convertible Notes, we are required to make quarterly payments of accrued interest only beginning on September 1, 2005. In addition, the Subordinated Convertible Notes provide for quarterly payments of principal in equal increments thereof, plus accrued interest, commencing September 1, 2006 through May 31, 2008, which payments may be made in shares of common stock at the option of each note holder. The Subordinated Convertible Notes bear interest at nine percent (9%) per annum. Each Subordinated Convertible Note was issued at a purchase price equal to $900 for each $1,000 of principal amount of the Note.

 

We may prepay the Subordinated Convertible Notes at any time upon payment of an amount equal to 120% of the then outstanding principal balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon any such prepayment, the Senior Convertible Note must also be prepaid. The Subordinated Investors have the option at any time to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.35 per share.

 

The terms of the Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants prohibit conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants to the extent that conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants would result in any holder thereof, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. A holder may waive the 4.99% limitation upon 75 days’ prior written notice to us. Also, this limitation does not preclude the holder from converting or exercising the note or warrant and selling shares underlying the note or warrant in stages over time where each stage does not cause the holder and its affiliates to beneficially own shares in excess of the limitation amount.

 

If an event of default occurs under the Subordinated Convertible Notes or the other related investment agreements, the unpaid principal balance on the Subordinated Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest, shall, at the note holder’s option, become immediately due and the Subordinated Investors shall be entitled to payment of additional default interest at the rate of 2.0% per annum on all amounts due under the Subordinated Convertible Notes. Such events of default include the following:

 

•     Failure to pay interest and principal payments under the Subordinated Convertible Notes within three days of when due;

 

•     a breach by us of any covenant, term or condition in any material respect of the Subordinated Convertible Notes or in any of the investment agreements, if not cured within 30 days of such breach;

 

•     any representation or warranty made in the Subordinated Convertible Notes or in any of the investment agreements being false or misleading in any material respect;

 

•     If we make an assignment for the benefit of our creditors, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for us, or any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by us, or any involuntary proceeding is instituted against us;

 

•     the filing of any money judgment or similar final process against us for more than $50,000, which remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 30 days;

 

•     if our common stock is suspended for five consecutive days or for five days during any ten consecutive days from a principal market or pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission stop order;

 

•     A failure by us to timely deliver shares of common stock when due upon conversions of the Subordinated Convertible Notes; and

 

•     A change in our controlling ownership.

 

Upon an event of default, the rights and remedies of the Subordinated Investors will be subordinate to those of the Senior Investors pursuant to a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 30, 2004 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) by and among Laurus, as Collateral Agent, Shaar, as Purchaser Agent, Aether Systems, Inc., PSG and the Company.

 

We have agreed to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale the shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Subordinated Convertible Notes and upon exercise of the Subordinated Warrants. Under the registration rights agreement, we were obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 8, 2005, and to use reasonable commercial efforts to have the registration statement declared effective not later than September 6, 2005. The resale registration statement was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2005 for the shares underlying the Subordinated Convertible Notes and Subordinated Warrants. If we fail to comply with our registration obligations, the Subordinated Investors will be entitled to certain specified remedies, including monetary liquidated damages. In particular, for each 30 days (or such pro rated number of days) that we are out of compliance with our registration obligations, we will be subject to a liquidated damage assessment of 2% of the original principal amount of the Subordinated Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2005, this registration statement has not been declared effective, therefore, the Company has approximately $202,000 reserved for payment of liquidating damages.  These damages were limited by a portion that had been waived by one of the Subordinated Investors during 2005.

 

83



 

Each Subordinated Investor has agreed, pursuant to the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, that neither it nor any of its affiliates and investment partners will (and will not cause any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to) engage in "short sales" of our common stock for as long as any Subordinated Convertible Notes held by it remain outstanding.

 

2004 and 2005 Senior and Subordinate Notes             

 

The Senior Notes’ features discussed above; such as a variety of conversion options, a variable interest rate feature, events of default and a variable liquidated damages clause are considered embedded derivative financial instruments. These features are described below, as follows:

 

                  Principal’s conversion option:  The Notes are convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $1.35 per share. This conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative and has been bifurcated and recorded on the Company's balance sheet at its fair value using the Binomial Option Pricing Model;

 

                  Monthly Payments Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Notes’ monthly payment at a $1.35 per share conversion price if the common stock price is higher than 110% of the conversion price ($1.49), as long as the amount converted is not higher than 25% of trading volume for the last 22 trading days. If the Notes’ monthly payments are not converted, the payments will be paid in cash at 102% of such amount. This conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative and has been bifurcated and recorded on the Company's balance sheet at its fair value using binomial models;

 

                  Interest Rate Adjustment provision:  For every 25% increase in common stock value above $1.35 per share, the interest will be reduced by 2%. The interest rate may never be reduced below 0%. This conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative and has been bifurcated and recorded on the Company's balance sheet at its fair value by measuring the impact of the derivative on the expected interest payment amount over the life of the Note;

 

The Subordinate Notes includes certain features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments, such as a variety of conversion options, a variable interest rate feature, events of default and a variable liquidated damages clause. These features are described below, as follows:

 

                  Principal’s conversion option:  The Notes are convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $1.35 per share. This conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative and has been bifurcated and recorded on the Company's balance sheet at its fair value;

 

                  Monthly Payments Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Notes’ monthly payment at a $1.35 per share conversion price if the common stock price is higher than 110% of the conversion price ($1.49), as long as the amount converted is not higher than 25% of trading volume for the last 22 trading days. If the Notes’ monthly payments are not converted, the payments will be paid in cash at 102% of such amount. This conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative and has been bifurcated and recorded on the Company's balance sheet at its fair value;

 

In conjunction with the Senior Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,566,666 shares of common stock. In conjunction with the Subordinate Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,061,396 shares of common stock. The Company also issued warrants to the Investment Banker to purchase 892,615 shares of common stock in connection with services rendered related to the 2004 and 2005 notes.

 

As of September 30, 2005, the Company had incorrectly calculated certain interest obligations on certain subordinated notes issued by the Company in September 2004. Accordingly, the Company has corrected the error, and as of December 31, 2005 is current with respect to its obligations under the September 2004 subordinated notes.

 

The Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver with Laurus, dated as of August 31, 2005, pursuant to which the Company was permitted to defer the payment of the monthly principal amounts due and payable for the months of September, October, November and December 2005 under both (a) the Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 issued by the Company to Laurus on September 29, 2004 (the “September 2004 Note”), and (b) the Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 issued by the Company to Laurus on June 8, 2005 (the “June 2005 Note”), such aggregate deferred principal amounts being equal to $625,000 and $187,500,respectively.  The deferred principal amount under the September 2004 Note is now due on September 29, 2007, the maturity date of that note, and will be paid at the same time the final payments due with respect to that note upon maturity.  The deferred principal amount under the June 2005 Note is now due on June 7, 2008, the maturity date of that note, and will be paid at the same time the final payments due with respect to that note upon maturity.  The Company will remain obligated to pay all monthly interest amounts under these notes as they are currently due.

 

Pursuant to this Amendment and Waiver, the Company issued an aggregate of 612,166 shares of its Common Stock as consideration for this principal payment deferral.  The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 31, 2005(the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission(the “SEC”) covering the resale of these shares of Common Stock on or before August 31, 2006.

 

The Company also entered into Amendment and Waivers, dated as of August 31, 2005, pursuant to which certain Subordinated Investors allowed the Company to defer the payment of the monthly principal amounts due and payable for the months of September, October, November and December 2005 under the Convertible Term Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,800,000 issued by the Company to the Subordinated Investors on September 29, 2004(the “Subordinated Notes”), such aggregate deferred principal amount being equal to $350,004.  The deferred principal amount under each Subordinated Note is now due on September 29, 2007, the maturity date of each such note, and will be paid at the same time the final payments due with respect to each such note upon maturity. The Company will remain obligated to pay all monthly interest amounts under these notes as they are currently due.

 

Pursuant to these Amendment and Waivers, the Company issued an aggregate of 263,705 shares of its Common Stock to the Subordinated Investors as consideration for this principal payment deferral.  The Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with each of the Subordinated Investors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of these shares of Common Stock on or before August 31, 2006.

 

On July 8, 2005, the Company made a payment of $39,061 to a holder of a senior convertible note issued by the Company on September 29, 2004 to fully pay all principal and interest on the Note. In conjunction with this repayment, the holder surrendered a warrant to purchase 11,111 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par value common stock.

 

Certain holders of convertible term notes issued by the Company on September 29, 2004 and May 31, 2005 did not permit the Company to defer such principal payments, but instead waived certain provisions of those notes, specifically regarding anti-dilution adjustments of the Fixed Conversion Price that would otherwise have been triggered as a result of the issuance of the above described shares in connection with the debt deferral.  In consideration of these waivers, the warrants held by these note holders were modified to reflect an exercise price of $1.35.

The accounting treatment of the derivatives and warrants requires that the Company record the derivatives and the warrant at their relative fair value as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, the derivatives were valued at $14,084,060 and $2,807,753 for the 2004 and 2005 notes. Conversion related derivatives were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 83% to 118%; and risk free interest rate of 2.89% to 4.4% as well as probability analysis related to trading volume restrictions. The remaining derivatives were valued using other binomial models and measuring the impact of the derivative on the expected interest payment amount over the life of the Note. The Warrants issued with the 2004 Notes were reclassified from a liability to equity in the fourth quarter of 2004 when the registration of the shares became effective. At the time of the reclassification, the Warrants had a fair market value of $2,847,019. The 2005 Warrants classified as liabilities were valued at $655,416 at December 31, 2005 using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 110% and risk-free interest rate of 4.4%. Both the derivatives and warrants, with the exception of the reclassified warrants discussed above, were classified as long-term liabilities.

 

At the time of issuance, the initial relative fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives was $8,895,741 and $4,653,425 for the 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively. The initial relative fair value assigned to the warrants was $1,912,639 and $1,233,153 for the 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively.

 

Both the derivatives and the warrants were recorded as discounts to the Notes and are being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt, using the effective interest method. At December 31, 2005, the unamortized discount on the Notes was $5,202,465 and $4,613,507 for 2004 and 2005 notes, respectively. The effective interest rate on the Notes for the period ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 ranged between 45% and 180% based on the frequency of principal payments as well as actual payments made. At December 31, 2004, the unamortized discount on the Notes was $10,122,156 for the 2004 and 2005 notes combined.

 

Other Debt

 

The key provisions of the Company's long-term notes and debentures issued prior to 2004 are as follows:

 

             10% Secured Convertible Note Issued in 2001: During 2001, the Company had unsecured short-term notes from Shaar in the aggregate principal amount of $2,770,000. Shaar converted this amount and associated accrued interest of $257,920 together with additional financing of $1,065,000 into a convertible note in the principal amount of $4,092,920 (the Convertible Note). During 2003, Shaar converted $475,000 of this note along with accrued interest of $98,465 into 764,620 shares of the Company's common stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $0.75 per share. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. During 2004, Shaar first converted $2,063,938 of this note into shares of the Company's common stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $0.75 per share. During March 2004, the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement (the Agreement) with Shaar. Pursuant to the Agreement, Shaar converted the remaining $1,553,982 of this note into shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $100 per share.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Convertible Note, the Company issued a warrant to the Shaar to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share through November 26, 2006. The Convertible Note was recorded along with a $1,016,000 discount assigned to the fair value of the warrant. The value assigned to the warrant was amortized as interest expense over the twenty-two month life of the Convertible Note. The fair value assigned to the warrant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the grant included the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.5%, expected life of three years, stock price volatility of 175%, and expected dividends of zero.

 

             10% Secured Convertible Notes Issued in 2002: As part of a recapitalization transaction, the Shaar agreed to provide additional financing in incremental monthly installments during the six-month period commencing March 1, 2002, subject to certain conditions. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has received $1,080,000 and issued notes payable to Shaar. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The notes are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Pursuant to the Agreement entered into in March 2004, Shaar converted this note into shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $100 per share.

 

             7% Convertible Notes Issued in 2002: As part of an August 2002 bridge note agreement with Shaar, Shaar provided a total of $750,000 of additional financing in incremental monthly installments during the four-month period commencing August 2002. The note, as amended, is due October 1, 2005 along with accrued interest at 7% per annum. The bridge notes are convertible at the option of Shaar into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share or into shares of the Company's series B preferred stock at a conversion price of $100 per share. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. Pursuant to the Agreement entered into in March 2004, Shaar converted this note into shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $100 per share.

             7% Secured Convertible Notes Issued in 2003: In January 2003, Shaar agreed to provide up to $2,350,000 of new debt financing. The agreement was amended in October 2003 to provide for up to $2,500,000 of additional funding. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had received advances totaling $3,852,250. Pursuant to this agreement, Shaar is to provide the additional monthly borrowings during 2004, subject to certain conditions. The terms of the notes, as amended December 31, 2003, required the principal and accrued interest at 7% to be repaid on October 1, 2005. In the event that the Company completed a private placement of equity securities resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 on or before June 30, 2004 the principal amount and accrued interest due under the note is convertible, at the option of Shaar, into the securities sold in such transaction at a conversion price equal to the sale price of such securities. Upon completion of such an equity transaction, Shaar also has the right to request repayment of the note. Shaar may, at any time, elect to convert some or all of the notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share or into shares of the Company's series B preferred stock at a conversion price of $100 per share. The notes are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The terms of a Registration Rights Agreement with Shaar, as amended, required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of any shares of common stock issuable upon any conversion of these notes. This registration statement was filed in July 2004.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company received the final advances totaling $1,000,000, pursuant to this note agreement. In March 2004, at the request of Shaar, the Company issued Thomas J. Colatosti, the chairman of the Board, a $375,000 note and Shaar a $2,125,000 note (collectively the Investors) in exchange for the October 31, 2003, $2,500,000 7% Secured Convertible Promissory Note due Shaar. The terms of the notes require the principal and accrued interest at 7% to be repaid on October 1, 2005. In the event that the Company completes a private placement of equity securities resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 on or before June 30, 2004 the principal amount and accrued interest due under the notes are convertible, at the option of the Investors, into the securities sold in such transaction at a conversion price equal to the sale price of such securities. Upon completion of such an equity transaction, the Investors also have the right to request repayment of the note. The Investors may, at any time, elect to convert some or all of the notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share or into shares of the Company's series C preferred stock at a conversion price of $100 per share.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement entered into in March 2004, the Investors converted the remaining $2,352,250 of these notes into shares of the Company's series C convertible preferred stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $100 per share. During March 2004, Shaar, in a separate transaction, converted $1,777,500 of this note into shares of the Company's series C convertible preferred stock at the stipulated per share conversion price of $100 per share. In March 2004, Shaar, in connection with a securities purchase agreement, paid for a portion of their purchased stock and warrants by canceling $347,500 of this note.

 

In 2005, it was determined that the Convertible Notes contained an embedded derivative known as a Conversion Price Adjustment Provision which needed to be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately. The derivative is known as the Conversion Price Adjustment Provision and is described as follows:

 

If, prior to June 30, 2004, the Company completes a private placement of equity securities of the Company for an aggregate sale price of at least $5 million, upon the closing of the transaction, the principal and the accrued interest of the Note, shall, at the option of the holder, either (i) be converted into shares of the current financing securities at a conversion price equal to the price per share at which the current financing securities are issued of (ii) immediately be paid in cash.

 

The accounting treatment of the derivative requires that the Company record the derivative at their relative fair value as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivative is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives and warrants is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of December 31, 2003, the derivative was valued at $310,603 and was recorded as a liability. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the derivative was valued at $0 and $0 because the debt had been retired. The derivative was valued as of December 31, 2003 using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: stock price of $.35 to $1.61; exercise price of $.75; annual volatility of 87% to 141%; and risk free interest rate of 0.96% to 1.51%. The derivative features are being accounted for properly as part of the current year restatement.

On April 28, 2005, The Shaar Fund Ltd. loaned $250,000 to the Company. The loan allowed for interest at 10% per annum and was paid in full in June 2005 in conjunction with the Company’s June financing activities. 

 

As of December 31, 2003, all existing long-term obligations were amended to provide, among other things, that all accrued interest be repaid on October 1, 2005. In connection with the above conversions of notes during 2004, Shaar also converted all accrued interest due thereon into shares of the Company's common stock and series C convertible preferred stock at their respective stipulated per share conversion prices of $0.75 and $100 per share.

 

The conversion and exercise prices of the Company's convertible instruments, options and warrants discussed here and elsewhere were determined by individual negotiation between the Company and the individual security holders or grantees.

 

Primarily all of the Company's interest expense during 2005 and 2004 related to obligations due Shaar. During 2005 and 2004, interest expense to Shaar was approximately $226,000 and $176,000, respectively.

NOTE M—SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company’s consolidated operations were divided into three segments: Law, Fire and Biometric.  Prior to this segmentation of the business management evaluated the business as one consolidated operation.  For presentation and comparability purposes the allocation of costs between segments for prior periods have been estimated.

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on revenues and operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on the segments revenues.  The segmentation of operating Income as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business.   Assets for the company are commingled and are related to all operating segments.  Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

 

Geographically North American sales accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s total sales for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003.

 

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments is shown in the following table:

NOTE N—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company does not own any real estate but conducts operations from four leased premises. These non-cancelable operating leases expire a various dates through 2009. In addition to base rent, the Company pays for property taxes, maintenance, insurance and other occupancy expenses according to the terms of the individual leases.

 

In connection with the Company's acquisition of AMG in 2004, the Company entered into a sub-lease with Aether, which requires monthly lease payments in excess of existing market rates. Rent expense is recorded at market rate and charged on a straight- line basis through August 31, 2008, the termination date of the lease. The company has accrued a liability to reflect the net present value of the excess of cash payments over rent expense for the remaining term of the lease.

 

88



 

Minimum rental commitments of non-cancelable operating leases are approximately as follows:

Rental expense was approximately $753,000, $258,000 and $60,000 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Employment Agreements

 

The Company has employment agreements with five employees. These agreements allow the continuation of the employee's salary in the event of termination without cause. The agreements also acknowledge the employee's eligibility to participate in the Company's bonus and option plans, the terms of which have not yet been established. Upon completion of one year of service during 2005, one employee is eligible for options for up to 300,000 shares. As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the aggregate commitment under these agreements is approximately $275,000, $930,000 and $90,000, respectively.

 

Legal Proceeding

 

Prior to our acquisition of PSG in June 2003, PSG was named as a defendant in a civil action initiated in the Superior Court Department in Hampden County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts by The Vince Group, Inc. ("TVG"). The case has since been removed to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts at the request of the Parties. The complaint claims that PSG is obligated to pay a percentage of certain of its revenues to TVG in consideration for a strategic business introduction allegedly made by an agent of TVG. PSG has denied the allegations and filed an answer in the litigation, and as of the date of this report the outcome of the litigation is pending. The claim is for an unspecified amount including actual damages, interest, and attorney's fees. Management believes the claim is without merit and will settle out of court for an amount which will not have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Accrued Royalties

 

From time to time, the Company licenses or sells products which may include technology obtained from third parties under a royalty agreement. These agreements obligate the company to pay the third party a fixed fee, or in some instances, a percentage of the associated revenue. The fees are generally due and payable only when software has been installed and accepted by the customer. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, royalty expense was approximately $178,000 and $23,000, respectively.

 

NOTE O—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

Common Stock

 

In August 2004, the Company's shareholders approved amendments to its articles of incorporation which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 60,000,000 to 85,000,000.

 

During March 2004, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 8,888,928 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,444,464 shares of common stock. The investors paid an aggregate purchase price of $1.35 for each share of common stock and warrant to purchase 0.5 of a share of common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $12,000,000. In connection with the securities purchase agreement, the Investor paid for a portion of their purchased stock and warrants by canceling $347,500 of outstanding debt.

 

89



 

The Warrants issued in conjunction with the sale of common stock on March 31, 2004, may be exercised at any time prior to June 8, 2009. Each Warrant contains anti-dilution protection through March 31, 2005, which has resulted in a reduction of the exercise price from $1.755 to $1.35 per share. Fifty percent (50%) of any unexercised portions of the Warrants are callable by the Company if the volume weighted average trading price per share of our common stock exceeds $4.3875 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days and the Warrants have not been exercised after forty-five (45) days' prior notice from the Company.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, in the event that (i) an investor is not permitted to sell its securities hereunder for any reason for five (5) or more trading days (whether or not consecutive), (ii) any securities covered hereunder are not listed on an eligible trading market or (iii) our common stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading, on an eligible trading market for a period of three (3) trading days (whether or not consecutive), the Company will be required to pay a cash amount to the investors equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for the first month that such event occurs and one percent (1%) for each month thereafter in which such event remains uncured, in each case prorated for any partial month. If the Company fails to make any such payment in a timely manner, such payment shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

 

Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On January 1, 2005, BIO-key International, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“BIO-key Minnesota”), consummated a merger (the “Reincorporation”) with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, BIO-key International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BIO-key Delaware”), in order to reincorporate in the State of Delaware.  The Reincorporation was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 30, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between BIO-key Minnesota and BIO-key Delaware.  The Reincorporation was recommended was approved by the board of directors of both BIO-key Minnesota and BIO-key Delaware,  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Reincorporation: (i) each outstanding share of Common Stock of BIO-key Minnesota, $0.01 par value per share, was automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of BIO-key Delaware; (ii) each outstanding share of Series C 7% Convertible Preferred Stock of BIO-key Minnesota, $0.01 par value per share, was automatically converted into one share of Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of BIO-key Delaware, with such Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock containing substantially identical terms and conditions as the Series C 7% Convertible Preferred Stock of BIO-key Minnesota; (iii) each option to purchase shares of BIO-key Minnesota’s Common Stock granted by BIO-key Minnesota under any warrant, stock option plan or similar plan of BIO-key Minnesota outstanding immediately before the Reincorporation was, by virtue of the Merger Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, converted into and become an option to purchase, upon the same terms and conditions, the same number of shares of BIO-key Delaware common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share thereunder immediately before the Reincorporation; and (iv) each warrant, option or stock option plan of BIO-key Minnesota was assumed by, and continues to be, a warrant, option or plan of BIO-key Delaware.

As of December 31, 2005, cumulative dividends in arrears were approximately $545,800.

 

Series B 9% Convertible Preferred Stock (BIO-key Minnesota)

90



 

Series C 7% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In March 2004, we designated 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Shares"), of which 62,182 are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004. The Series C Shares accrue a cumulative annual dividend of 7% on the $100 face amount of such shares payable in shares of common stock on June 15 and December 15 each year, and on such date that the preferred stockholder elects to convert preferred stock to common stock. As of December 31, 2004, cumulative dividends in arrears were approximately $308,900. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series C Shares have a liquidation preference of $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon prior to any payment or distribution to holders of our common stock. The Series C Shares are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.75 per share. The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or reclassifications. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event we issue additional shares of common stock at a purchase price less than the conversion price of the Series C Shares, the conversion price shall be lowered to such lesser price. In the event that the average closing bid price of our common stock is less than $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days at any time after March 3, 2007, we will be required to redeem the Series C Shares by payment of $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends due thereon.

 

We are required to obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series C Shares in order to, among other things, issue any shares of preferred stock that are equal to or have a preference over the Series C shares or issue any shares of preferred stock, rights, options, warrants, or any other securities convertible into common stock of the Company, other than those issued to employees of the Company in the ordinary course of their employment or to consultants or other persons providing services to the Company so long as such issuances do not exceed the conversion rights for more than 500,000 shares of common stock. We are also required to obtain such consent in order to, among other things, complete a sale or other disposition of any material assets, complete an acquisition of a material amount of assets, engage in a merger, reorganization or consolidation, or incur or guaranty any indebtedness in excess of $50,000.

The estimated fair value of the warrants granted during 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $1,467,302, $2,466,839 and $67,000, respectively. The estimated fair value of the warrants granted to consultants and investment bankers was $234,148 and $534,201 of the $1,467,302 and $2,466,839 for the years 2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair value of warrants is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model utilizing the same assumptions described in the Stock-Based Compensation footnote. The estimated fair value of warrants granted for goods and services is being amortized to expense over the terms of the consulting agreements.

 

NOTE P—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

1996 Stock Option Plan

 

During 1996, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan). Under the 1996 Plan, 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 100% of fair market value for incentive stock options and 50% for all others.

1999 Stock Option Plan

 

During 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan).

In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The 1999 Plan terminates in August 2009.

 

2004 Stock Option Plan

 

On October 12, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan has not yet been presented to stockholders for approval and thus incentive stock options are not available under this plan. Under the terms of this plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 85% of fair market value.

As of December 31, 2005 the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $47,122,000 and $16,491,000 respectively, subject to expiration between 2011 and 2025.

 

These net operating loss carryforwards are subject to the limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to changes in the equity ownership of the Company.

 

A valuation allowance equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets has been recorded due to the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to operating loss history of the Company. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income. Similarly, income tax benefits related to stock options exercised have not been recognized in the financial statements.

NOTE R—FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company's derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the $7,050,000 Senior Secured Convertible Term Note and the $8,194,723 Subordinate Unsecured Convertible Term Note ("Notes''). These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features and variable interest features. The Company also issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common stock as part of the debt financing. The accounting treatment of derivatives and the warrants requires that the Company record the derivatives and the warrants as a liability at their relative fair values as of the inception date of the agreement, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives or the warrant is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives or warrant is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of December 31, 2005, the derivatives and warrants classified as liabilities were valued at $2,807,753 and $655,416 respectively. Conversion related derivatives were valued at each quarter end using the Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility ranging from 141% to 87%; and risk free interest rate ranging from .96% to 1.51% as well as probability analysis related to subsequent financing. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the derivatives are classified as long-term liabilities due to the possible monetary penalties associated with conversion features embedded within the debt instruments.

 

The Company also issued warrants to Investment Bankers as part of the debt financing which were initially recorded as a liability. The FMV of these warrants were adjusted on a quarterly basis. The FMV was reclassified to additional paid in capital within the Equity section once the registration of shares underlying the warrants became effective. Once classified in equity, the fair market value remains fixed. At the time they were reclassified and as of December 31, 2005, the warrants classified as equity were valued at $2,847,019.

NOTE U—EARNINGS PER SHARE “EPS”

 

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock.

 

The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows for the following fiscal years ended December 31:

Effective as of January 23, 2006, BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver”) with Laurus in connection with the Secured Convertible Notes (the “Secured Notes”) currently held by Laurus.

 

Under the Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver, the Secured Notes issued by the Company to Laurus on September 29, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “September 2004 Note”) and on June 7, 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “June 2005 Note”) were amended as follows: (i) the maturity date of the September 2004 Note was extended to January 1, 2008, (ii) the maturity date of the June 2005 Note was extended to December 1, 2008, and (iii) the fixed conversion price under each of the Secured Notes was reset from $1.35 to $0.85 per share.  In addition, the exercise price of all warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company held by Laurus was reset to $1.00 per share.

 

The Company also issued 150,000 shares (the “Newly Issued Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock to Laurus in connection with the Secured Notes Amendment and Waiver. The Company granted Laurus registration rights with respect to these shares. In connection with the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares, Laurus agreed to waive the provisions of the Secured Notes regarding any adjustment of the fixed conversion price that would otherwise be triggered as a result of the issuance of the Newly Issued Shares and certain other securities which have a conversion price of $0.70 per share.

 

Effective as of January 23, 2006, the Company also entered into an Amendment and Waiver (the “Subordinated Notes Amendment and Waiver”) with certain holders (“the “Subordinated Note Holders”) of its Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”).

 

Under the Subordinated Notes Amendment and Waiver, the Subordinated Notes issued by the Company on September 29, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,288,221 (the “September 2004 Notes”) and on May 31, 2005 in the aggregate principal amount of $3,244,723 (the “May 2005 Notes”) were amended as follows: (i) the maturity dates were extended from September 29, 2007 and May 31, 2008, respectively, to January 1, 2009; (ii) the interest rate was fixed at fifteen percent (15%); (iii) all principal amounts are due at the maturity date and shall be paid in shares of Common Stock priced at $0.70 per share if the average closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the maturity date is greater than $1.10; (iv) interest shall be paid, at the Company’s election, in cash or shares of Common Stock, with the Common Stock priced at the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the repayment date; and (v) the currently applicable fixed conversion price was amended to $0.70 per share.  In addition, the exercise price of all warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Subordinated Note Holders that currently have an exercise price greater than $1.00 per share was reset to $1.00 per share.

 

The Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), effective as of January 23,2006, with The Shaar Fund, Ltd., Longview Fund, L.P. and Longview Special Finance (collectively, the “Purchasers”).

 

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchasers Convertible Term Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, which shares are convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at an initial fixed conversion price of $0.70 per share.

The restatement adjustments are attributable to the same matters that are discussed in depth in Note B, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, and we refer you to that discussion. The third set of tables below summarizes, for each of the quarters and for each of the interim balance sheet dates presented, the impact of each category of adjustment on previous reported revenue; net loss from continuing operations and earnings per share; and assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity.
