Quarterly Report
References made in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q to "we," "our," "us," or the "Company," refer to Intelli-Check - Mobilisa, Inc.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations constitutes management's review of the factors that affected our financial and operating performance for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2007. On November 20, 2007, Intelli-Check and Mobilisa, a private company that is a leader in identity systems and mobile and wireless technologies, entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary would merge with and into Mobilisa, resulting in Mobilisa becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Overview
At a special meeting of stockholders held on March 14, 2008, Intelli-Check's stockholders voted to approve the merger, as well as to amend Intelli-Check's certificate of incorporation to change our name to Intelli-Check-Mobilisa, Inc., increase the authorized shares of common stock and to increase the number of shares issuable under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The headquarters of Intelli-Check was moved to Mobilisa's offices in Port Townsend, Washington.
The former shareholders of Mobilisa received shares of Intelli-Check common stock such that they own 50% of Intelli-Check's common stock and options and warrant to purchase 2,429,932 shares of Intelli-Check - Mobilisa common stock. The aggregate value of the purchase consideration was $51,321,747, based on the closing price of our common stock on November 20, 2007.
Mobilisa, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Washington in March 2001. Mobilisa was designated as a woman- and veteran-owned small business. Mobilisa's headquarters in Port Townsend, Washington are located in a Historically Underutilized Business Zone ("HUBZone"). Mobilisa specializes in custom software development for mobile and wireless devices and Wireless Over Water ("WOW") technology implementation and is comprised of two business units-ID systems and wireless technologies-designed to address the following issues:
§ Access Control: Mobilisa's Defense ID® system is designed to increase security at access points manned by law enforcement and military personnel
§ Marine Environment Communications: Mobilisa's WOW technology allows for high-speed communication between multiple points, both on land and at sea, across wide or over-water expanses, and optimizes performance by making point-to-point systems work as point-to-multipoint, using intelligent routing across a dynamic network topology, and minimizing Fresnel zones (Fresnel zones result from obstructions in the path of radio waves and impact the signal strength of radio transmissions). Mobilisa is currently developing Floating Area Network ("FAN") technology, which allows ships within line of site to communicate with each other wirelessly at speeds faster than current, and overused, satellite communications. In addition, our Littoral Sensor Grid technology is being developed as the next evolutionary step in marine communications and port security. Through the use of buoys, we have created multipurpose systems with environmental and military applications that are capable of having wireless connectivity and networking capabilities, are environmental sensors data collectors and have mobile and configurable plug-n-play surveillance packages.
§ Network Design: Mobilisa's AIRchitect™ tool designs optimum wireless networks based on equipment capabilities, user requirements and physical architecture of location where the wireless is to be installed.
Mobilisa also derives its revenue from selling handheld communication devices with patent-pending software which allows users to send various forms of identification and compare it to information on databases. A key component of Mobilisa's business strategy is its commitment to cutting-edge research and development in both ID systems and advanced applications of wireless technologies.
Intelli-Check was formed in 1994 to address a growing need for a reliable document and age verification system that could be used to detect fraudulent driver licenses and other widely accepted forms of government-issued identification documents. Since then, our technology has been further developed for application in the commercial fraud protection, access control and governmental security markets. Additionally, it is currently being used to increase productivity by addressing inefficiencies and inaccuracies associated with manual data entry. The core of Intelli-Check's product offerings is our proprietary software technology that verifies the authenticity of driver licenses and state issued non-driver and military identification cards used as proof of identity. Our patented ID-Check® software technology instantly reads, analyzes, and verifies the encoded format in magnetic stripes and barcodes on government-issued IDs from over 60 jurisdictions in the U.S. and Canada to determine if the encoded format is valid. We have served as the national testing laboratory for the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) since 1999.
Because of continuing terrorist threats worldwide, we believe there has been a significant increase in awareness of our software technology to help improve security across many industries, including airlines, rail transportation and high profile buildings and infrastructure, which we believe may enhance future demand for our technology. The adaptation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD 12) and the promulgation of Federal Identity Processing Standards 201 (FIPS-201) have raised the awareness of our technology in the government sector. Therefore, we have begun to market to various government and state agencies, which have long sales cycles, including extended test periods. Since inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from operating activities and, as of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $45 million. We will continue to fund operating and capital expenditures from proceeds that we received from sales of our equity securities. In view of the acquisition of Mobilisa and evolving nature of our business and our operating history, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
By verifying the encoded format, our ID-Check® patented technology provides the ability to verify the validity of military IDs, driver licenses and state issued non-driver ID cards that contain magnetic stripes, bar codes SMART chips, and Radio Frequency ID technologies, which enables us to target three distinct markets. Our original target market was focused on resellers of age-restricted products, such as alcohol and tobacco, where the proliferation of high-tech fake IDs exposes merchants to fines and penalties for the inadvertent sale of these products to underage purchasers. We now also target commercial fraud, which includes identity theft, and our technology is designed to help prevent losses from these frauds. We are also marketing our products for security applications involving access control. As a result of its applicability in these markets, we have sold our products to some of the largest companies in the gaming industry, significant retailers, several large financial service companies and military facilities. Our technology is currently being used or tested by several Fortune 500 Companies. We have a strategic alliance with VeriFone, the largest provider of credit card terminals in the U.S., several system integrators in the defense industry and hardware manufacturers to utilize our systems and software as the proposed or potential verification application for their proposed solutions for credentialing in the government sector and to jointly market these security applications. Recent Department of Homeland Security initiatives, along with the regulations arising from HSPD-12, which sets the policy for a common identification standard for federal employees and contractors, and the new Transportation Worker Identity Credential or TWIC card, which is currently required for all sea-port workers by April 15, 2009 have additionally created opportunities for our verification technology in the governmental market at the federal, state and local levels. In addition, we have executed agreements with some high profile organizations to promote the use of our technology and our products. We believe these relationships have broadened our marketing reach through their sales efforts and we intend to develop additional strategic alliances with additional high profile organizations and providers of security solutions.
We have developed additional software products that utilize our patented software technology. Our products include ID-Check® Portal, ID-Check® POS, ID-Check® BHO, ID-Traveler and the ID-Prove software solution. ID-Check® Portal utilizes our ID-Check® technology together with ID-Prove to provide an additional layer of security to prove an individual's claimed identity. ID-Check® POS is the technology that has been integrated into multiple VeriFone platforms such as the 37xx series to enable the user to do verification of the encoded format on driver licenses as an additional function of the terminal. ID-Check® BHO is a browser helper object that enables a customer to add the ID-Check® technology as a "plug-in" to Internet Explorer pages without requiring software programming expertise. ID-Check® EHO is an executable helper object for non browser based applications. ID-Traveler electronically verifies and matches two forms of government issued IDs instantaneously while the embedded ID-Prove software solution provides "out of wallet" questions to assist in proving a user's claimed identity. Additional software solutions include ID-Check® PC and ID-Check® Mobile, which replicate the features of ID-Check®. Another application is C-Link®, the company's networkable data management software. Additionally, ID-Check® PC and C-Link® are designed to read the smart chip contained on the military Common Access Card (CAC). These products, which run on a personal computer, were created to work in conjunction with our ID-Check® technology and allow a user to first verify the encoded format and then view the encoded data for further verification. Our ID-Check® Mobile product gives the user the additional flexibility of utilizing our software in a hand-held product. To date, we have entered into multiple licensing agreements and are in discussions with additional companies to license our software to be utilized within other existing systems. We also have created the Im2700, or Mobile TWIC Reader, for use with the Department of Homeland Security's new TWIC card.
Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include deferred tax valuation allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts and the fair value of stock options granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates.
We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates. These significant accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, stock based compensation, deferred taxes and commitments and contingencies. These policies and our procedures related to these policies are described in detail below.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
Revenue is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectability is probable, and there is no future Company involvement or commitment. The Company sells its commercial products directly through its sales force and through distributors. Revenue from direct sales of our products is recognized when shipped to the customer and title has passed. The Company's products require continuing service or post contract customer support and performance; accordingly, a portion of the revenue pertaining to the service and support is deferred based on its fair value and recognized ratably over the period in which the future service, support and performance are provided, which is generally one to three years. Currently, with respect to sales of certain of our products, the Company does not have enough experience to identify the fair value of each element, therefore the full amount of the revenue and related gross margin is deferred and recognized ratably over the one-year period in which the future service, support and performance are provided.
The Company recognizes sales from licensing of its patented software to customers. The Company's licensed software requires continuing service or post contract customer support and performance; accordingly, a portion of the revenue is deferred based on its fair value and recognized ratably over the period in which the future service, support and performance are provided, which is generally one to three years. Royalties from the licensing of the Company's technology are recognized as revenues in the period they are earned.
Revenue from research and development contracts are generally with government agencies under long-term cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, where revenue is based on time and material costs incurred. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company also performs consulting work for other companies. These services are billed based on time and materials. Revenue from these arrangements is also recognized as time is spent on the contract and materials are purchased.
Subscriptions to database information can be purchased for month-to-month, one, two, and three year periods. Revenue from subscriptions are deferred and recognized over the contractual period, which is typically three years.
The Company offers enhanced extended warranties for its sales of hardware and software at a set price. The revenue from these sales are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, which is typically three years.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R). Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements and requires us to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for generally all share based payment transactions with employees.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using expected tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We have recorded a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2008, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in Note 6, above. We do not believe these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management's judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2008 to the three months ended September 30, 2007
Revenues for quarter ended September 30, 2008 increased 313% to $3,538,994 compared to $856,938 for the previous year. This amount exceeded our total revenues for all of 2007. Revenues from the Company's historical business increased 47% to $1,261,030 and Mobilisa's revenues contributed $2,277,964. Total booked orders increased 145% in the third quarter of 2008 to $2.7 million from $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2007. As of September 30, 2008, our backlog, which represents non-cancelable sales orders for products and services not yet shipped or performed, was approximately $9.4 million compared to $2.6 million at September 30, 2007. This significant increase is principally a result of $7.8 million added by Mobilisa.
Approximately $7.5 million of the current backlog could be recognized over one to four years. Mobilisa has a significant amount of multi-year research and development contracts with the US government that will be recognized as the research is performed. In the commercial ID market, the actual recognition periods are determined depending upon the release dates by the customer.
Our gross profit as a percentage of revenues amounted to 72.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 54.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The gross profit percentage increase in 2008 was a result of a change in product mix. The increase in margin was principally a result of a new enterprise license with a major customer, higher software upgrade fees in our historical business plus the impact of the high margined Mobilisa revenues in the quarter.
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses, increased 117% to $2,413,043 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $1,113,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Expenses in the third quarter of 2008 include $1,189,987 of Mobilisa operating expenses as well as merger related intangible amortization costs of $406,395, so on a comparative basis Intelli-Check's historical operating costs decreased by $296,698. This reduction is principally a result of merger related synergy savings, including reductions in headcount, reductions in sales and marketing expenses and lower legal and consulting fees. As the Company experiences sales growth, we expect that we will incur additional operating expenses to support this growth. Research and development expenses may also increase as the level of research and development projects increase and we continue to integrate additional products and technologies with our patented ID-Check technology.
Interest income decreased from $37,564 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $9,708 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, which is principally a result of a decrease in our invested cash, marketable securities and short term investments as well as lower interest rates received on investments during 2008.
Other expense relates to the loss on the sale of equipment.
In the third quarter of 2008, we have not recorded a tax provision due to the expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
As a result of the factors noted above, we are pleased to report the first quarterly profit since the inception of the Company. Our net income was $151,975 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to a net loss of $607,742 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to the nine months ended September 30, 2007
The acquisition of Mobilisa was completed on March 14, 2008, and therefore Mobilisa's results of operations are included in the financial statements for the period March 15 through September 30, 2008.
Revenues increased by 224%, to $7,402,126 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $2,281,533 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Revenues from the Company's historical business increased 42% to $3,239,844 and Mobilisa's revenues contributed $4,162,282. Booked orders, which represent the total value of all new non-cancellable orders for products, services and fees received from our customers and distributors, during the first nine months of 2008 were $4.5 million compared to $4.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. However, period to period comparisons may not be indicative of future operating results, since we still face long sales cycles, particularly in the government sector, and, therefore, we cannot predict with certainty at this time in which period the opportunities currently in the pipeline will develop into sales or if they will develop at all.
Our gross profit as a percentage of revenues amounted to 73.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 61.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in margin was principally a result of a combination of the change in product mix in our historical business and the high margined Mobilisa revenues during the period.
Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses, increased 56% to $5,976,150 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $3,829,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Expenses in the first nine months of 2008 include $2,476,642 of Mobilisa operating expenses as well as merger related intangible amortization costs of $880,522 that are not included in the comparative expenses in the first nine months of 2007. On a comparative basis Intelli-Check's historical operating costs decreased by $1,210,589. This reduction is principally a result of merger related synergy savings, including reductions in headcount, reductions in sales and marketing expenses and lower legal and consulting fees. The 2007 period also included a $152,000 death benefit paid to the spouse of the former CEO.
Interest income decreased from $135,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $51,527 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is a result of a decrease in our invested cash, marketable securities and short term investments, as well as lower interest rates received on investments during 2008.
We have incurred net losses to date, with the exception of this recent quarter; therefore, we have paid nominal income taxes.
As a result of the factors noted above, our net loss decreased from $2,288,443 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $511,753 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short term investments of $2,320,269, working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $2,171,876, total assets of $56,917,363 and stockholders' equity of $53,054,912. As part of the merger, on March 14, 2008, the former shareholders of Mobilisa received shares of Intelli-Check common stock and options and warrant to purchase 12,429,932 shares of Intelli-Check - Mobilisa common stock. The aggregate value of the purchase consideration was equal to $51.3 million, based on the average price of our common stock on the two days prior to and after November 20, 2007 of $3.54 per share. Under purchase accounting rules, principally the entire purchase price was allocated to identifiable intangibles and goodwill on the balance sheet. The Company currently has no bank financing or long term debt.
The Mobilisa acquisition brought in approximately $336,000 in cash to the Company. Exclusive of this cash, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company used net cash, marketable securities and short-term investments of approximately $59,000. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company actually increased its cash, marketable securities and short-term investments by approximately $267,000. Cash proceeds from stock option exercises were $287,709 in the first nine months of 2008 compared to cash proceeds of $232,359 in the first nine months of 2007. We currently anticipate that our available cash on hand and marketable securities, as well as cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capitals and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Marketable Securities and Short Term Investments are invested in Municipal Auction Rate Securities. Since mid-February 2008, many auctions have failed and holders were unable to sell their holdings of these auction rate securities. In accordance with an agreement with the New York State Attorney General our broker has agreed to repurchase these securities at full value including accrued interest. We expect to receive these funds in mid-November of 2008.
We may need to raise additional funds to respond to business contingencies which may include the need to fund more rapid expansion, fund additional marketing expenditures, develop new markets for our technology, enhance our operating infrastructure, respond to competitive pressures, or acquire complementary businesses or necessary technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the additional funds when needed or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in Note 6 above. We do not believe these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's") for federal income tax purposes of approximately $35.8 million. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the NOL's. The federal NOL's are available to offset future taxable income and expire from 2018 to 2027 if not utilized. The Company has not yet completed its review to determine whether or not these NOL's will be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to the ownership change from the acquisition of Mobilisa, Inc.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
Forward Looking Statements
This document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues, loss from operations and cash flow. . . .
