BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2005 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2004

 

 

1.             BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim 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. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Certain amounts in the 2004 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

 

2.             LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE MATTERS

 

Broad commercial acceptance of the Company’s technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate revenues. The Company has only recently begun to generate significant revenues, has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit.

 

7



 

The Company is in need of additional capital. The Company is currently considering various alternatives related to raising additional capital including continued funding from an investment group and new funding from other sources. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

 

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 financing, meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and succeed in its future operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

3.             LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares, and when dilutive, by including options, warrants and convertible securities outstanding using the treasury stock method. There was no difference between basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented, because the impact of including options, warrants and convertible securities would be antidilutive.

 

4.             EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

 

Equipment and leasehold improvements at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consisted of the following:

5.             GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company’s goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Public Safety Group, Inc. and certain assets and assumed liabilities of the Mobile Government Division of Aether Systems, Inc. in 2004. As provided by SFAS No. 142, the Company has elected to perform the annual assessment of the carrying value of all goodwill as of August 1 each year using a number of criteria, including the value of the overall enterprise. As of March 31, 2005, the Company believes no material impairment exists.  Future impairment charges from existing operations or other acquisitions, if any, will be reflected as an operating expense in the statement of operations.

 

8



 

As of December 31, 2004, goodwill totaled $12,067,248. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company made an additional allocation adjustment of $692,302, resulting in a goodwill balance of $11,374,946 as of March 31, 2005.

In January 2005, options to purchase 76,380 shares of the Company's common stock were exercised on a cashless basis. This transaction resulted in the Company issuing an aggregate of 27,302 shares of the Company's common stock.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, warrants for 515,000 shares of the Company's common stock were exercised for $520,250.

 

Proforma Compensation Disclosure

 

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. 148 requires expanded and more prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results.

 

11



 

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 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.

 

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 loss and proforma loss per share would have been as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB and in other public statements by the Company and Company officers include or may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange of 1934.  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report on Form 10-QSB, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “will,” “may,” “future,” “plan,” “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be sure that they will be achieved.  Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein due to a number of factors. Many of these factors are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the caption “Risk Factors” and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us.  It should be recognized that other factors, including general economic factors and business strategies may be significant, presently or in the future.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company included elsewhere herein.

 

BIO-key International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “BIO-key,” “we,” or “us”) founded in 1993, delivers advanced finger based biometric identification and security solutions and information services to law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical service agencies as well as other government and private sector customers.  BIO-key’s mobile wireless technology provides first responders with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state, and national databases.  More than 2,500 police, fire, and emergency services departments in North America currently use BIO-key solutions, making the company a leading supplier of mobile and wireless solutions for public safety.

 

Effective January 1, 2005, BIO-key International, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Old BIO-key”) reincorporated as the Company.  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

 

14



 

Delaware (the “Reincorporation”).  As a result of the Reincorporation, the legal domicile of the Company is now Delaware.

 

BIO-key has four major product lines: biometrics, handheld mobile software/devices, mobile information software and records management software for fire service/EMS agencies.

 

We actively market and sell our biometric technology to biometric system integrators and resellers who are focused on the security and logical access markets.  A number of BIO-key’s customers have begun to deploy its technology on a run-time basis, which is generating recurring revenues.

 

BIO-key’s public safety offerings are sold directly to counties, cities, or towns across North America and to Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System application providers and system integrators who include BIO-key’s mobile data and fire records management software as part of their overall deliverables for their customers.  Most often, public safety offerings for small sized cities or towns are provided by BIO-key authorized resellers.

 

We are a leading supplier of mobile data solutions for police and fire service agencies using laptop computers as well as applications for handheld mobile delivery on different devices, including Blackberries, PDAs, Smartphones, and tablet notebook computers located in police vehicles.  BIO-key handheld offerings are particularly suited for specialty units and investigators that work remotely and do not have access to a conventional office desktop computer or a laptop computer.

 

Concerns relating to Homeland Security and the ever-increasing occurrences of identity theft in the commercial marketplace have amplified the need for positive identification of individuals, and increased interest in biometrics.  BIO-key believes its biometric technology provides a most reliable, convenient, and cost effective method for confirming the identity of persons in local or remote locations relative to existing traditional methods.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company believes the following represent its critical accounting policies:

 

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.

 

15



 

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.

 

16



 

Service Revenues:  Revenues from services are comprised of maintenance, 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.

 

     Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable billed and unbilled are carried at original invoice 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 accounts 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.

 

17



 

Valuation of Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Our long-lived tangible assets are fixed assets. As a result of our acquisitions, we have significant long-lived intangible assets and goodwill, which are susceptible to valuation adjustments as a result changes in various factors or conditions. The intangible assets are developed technology (software), copyrighted software, marketing agreements, customer relationships and trademarks which are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Goodwill is not amortized.

 

We assess the potential impairment of intangible assets and fixed assets whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Some indicators of impairment include; significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and a decline in our market capitalization below net book value.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) requires goodwill to be tested for impairment using a two - step process. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with the unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than the unit’s implied fair value, the unit’s goodwill may be impaired, and the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment charge, if any. In this step, if the carrying amount is greater than the reporting unit’s implied fair value, the carrying amount must be written down to its implied fair value. We operate in two reporting units; PSG and AMG. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events and circumstances indicate that recorded goodwill might be impaired. We performed the goodwill assessment of PSG during the fourth quarter of 2004 and determined there was no impairment. As provided by SFAS No. 142, the Company has elected to perform the annual assessment of the carrying value of all goodwill as of August 1 each year. Factors we consider to be indicators of impairment include; significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant negative industry or economic trends, significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and a decline in our market capitalization below net book value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

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  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 Stockholders’ Equity footnote.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

On March 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of Public Safety Group, Inc. (“PSG”), a leader in wireless solutions for law enforcement and public safety markets. On September 30, 2004, we completed our acquisition of the Mobile Government division of Aether Systems, Inc.  Accordingly, results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 include the results of these operations. It is expected that the Company’s reported revenues and expenses in 2005 will increase significantly over the prior year periods during the second and third quarters due to the absence of Mobile Government operations in prior year results.

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004

 

Revenue

 

Services revenue, which includes maintenance, technical support and other professional services, was approximately $3,060,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to approximately $43,000 during the corresponding period in 2004.

 

19



 

License fees and other revenue, which principally includes software license fees and hardware sales, were approximately $841,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to approximately $269,000 during the corresponding period in 2004.

 

The increases in both cases were due to revenue from Mobile Government which was acquired late in 2004.

 

Costs And Other Expenses

 

Costs of services were approximately $836,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to approximately $0 during the prior year period.

 

Costs of license and other were approximately $328,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to approximately $6,000 during the corresponding period in 2004.

 

The increases in both cases were due to the acquisitions of PSG and Mobile Government in 2004.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses.   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately $2,847,000 during the first quarter of 2005 from approximately $821,000 in 2004. The increase was due to the acquisitions completed in 2004, which increased selling, general and administrative headcount from 9 to 48. We expect selling, general and administrative headcount to remain stable during the remainder of 2005.

 

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased to approximately $2,075,000 during the first quarter of 2005 from approximately $263,000 in 2004. The increase was due to the acquisitions completed in 2004, which increased research and development  headcount from 7 to 68. We expect research and development headcount to remain stable during 2005.

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased to approximately $505,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 from approximately $137,000 during the prior year period. The increase in 2005 is due in part to a higher average outstanding debt balance and higher interest rates. In addition, 2005 interest expense includes interest on the deferred rent obligation from the Mobile Government acquisition, letter of credit fee and amortization of debt discounts.

 

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards.       As of December 31, 2004, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32,501,000 and $14,129,000, respectively. The carryforwards expire between 2011 and 2024. Such 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.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was approximately $922,000 compared to approximately $955,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary use of cash for both years was to fund the net loss. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was approximately $1,460,000 compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $573,000 for the corresponding period in 2004. The 2005 amount consisted of approximately $980,000 from sale of marketable securities, $503,000 in proceeds from deposit refunds and $50,000 in proceeds

 

20



 

from the sale of a trademark. These amounts were partially offset by fixed asset purchases of approximately $73,000. Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was approximately $123,000 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $994,000 in the corresponding period in 2004. The 2005 amount included debt repayments of approximately $751,000, which were partially offset by approximately $528,000 in proceeds from warrant and option exercises.

 

Working capital deficit at March 31, 2005 was approximately $4,360,000 as compared to a deficit of approximately $3,016,000 at December 31, 2004.

 

Since January 7, 1993 (date of inception), our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities.

 

We do not expect any material capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

 

We will 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 several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion for the year ended December 31, 2004 as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long – term viability and growth will depend on the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing.

 

To the extent that we require such additional funding, 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.

 

We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

The convertible notes have a maturity date of not later than September 29, 2007.

 

The Company does not own any real estate but conducts operations from four leased premises.  These non-cancelable operating leases expire at 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.

 

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 

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”)) was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).  As part of this evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO reviewed a letter dated April 18, 2005 from the Company's independent auditors to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which identified several material weaknesses in the Company's internal control systems.  In particular, the Company's auditors stated that they found the Company to be deficient in its design and implementation of its internal control system and that, due to two recent acquisitions, the Company is not staffed properly in its accounting and reporting department, and it may not have appropriate accounting and reporting software.  Based upon their evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, 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.  However, the Company is in the process of addressing these issues to ensure that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are improved so as to provide such reasonable assurance.  Specifically, the Company has hired additional staff during fiscal 2005 and has retained the services of several financial consultants to assist the finance and accounting staff.  There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with that evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
