1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Operations
     L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“L-1” or the “Company”) provide identity solutions and services that enable governments, law enforcement agencies and businesses to enhance security, reduce identity theft and protect personal privacy. L-1’s identity solutions are specifically designed for the identification of people and include secure credentialing, biometrics capture and access devices, automated document authentication, automated biometric identification systems, and biometrically-enabled background checks, as well as systems design, development, integration and support services. These identity solutions enable L-1’s customers to manage the entire life cycle of an individual’s identity for a variety of applications including civil identification, criminal identification, commercial, border management, military, antiterrorism and national security. L-1 also provides comprehensive consulting, training, security, technology development, and information technology services to the U.S. intelligence community.
     The Company’s identity solutions combine products and related services, consisting of hardware, components, consumables and software, as well as maintenance, consulting and training services integral to sales of hardware and software. The Company also provides fingerprinting enrollment services and government consulting, training, security, technology development and information technology services. Customers, depending on their needs, may order solutions that include hardware, equipment, consumables, software products or services or combine hardware products, consumables, equipment, software products and services to create multiple element arrangements.
     The Company operates in two reportable segments: the Identity Solutions segment and the Services segment. The Identity Solutions segment provides biometric and identity solutions to federal, state and local government agencies, foreign governments and commercial entities. The Services segment provides fingerprinting enrollment services to federal and state governments and commercial enterprises, as well as comprehensive consulting, training, security, technology development and information technology services to the U.S. intelligence community.
Reorganization
     On May 16, 2007, the Company adopted a new holding company organizational structure in order to facilitate its convertible senior notes (the “Convertible Notes” or “Notes”) offering and the structuring of acquisitions. Pursuant to the reorganization, L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. became the sole shareholder of its predecessor, L-1 Identity Solutions Operating Company (“L-1 Operating”, previously also known as L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc.). The reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the historical consolidated financial statements of the predecessor entity, L-1 Operating, comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The reorganization did not impact the historical carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the Company or its historical results of operations and cash flows.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements, and in accordance with SEC rules, omit or condense certain information and footnote disclosures. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2009.
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of L-1 and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of material inter-company transactions and balances.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired businesses, assessing the impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment, revenue recognition, estimating the useful life of long lived assets, income taxes, litigation and valuation of and accounting for financial instruments, including convertible notes, interest rate protection agreements, foreign currency contracts, warrants and stock options. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events through July 30, 2009, the date immediately preceeding the date on which the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Revenue Recognition
     The Company derives its revenue from solutions that include products and services, as well as sales of standalone services, hardware, components, consumables and software. Identity Solutions revenue includes revenues from maintenance, consulting and training services related to sales of hardware and software solutions. Services revenue includes fingerprinting enrollment services and government consulting, security and information technologies services. Customers, depending on their needs, may order hardware, equipment, consumables, software products or services or combine hardware products, consumables, equipment, software products and services to create multiple element arrangements. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2009. There have been no material changes to such policies, except as required in connection with the adoption of accounting standards in 2009, as described below.
Stock-Based Compensation
     L-1 uses the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate the fair value of option awards. The compensation expense related to share-based payments is recognized over the vesting period for awards granted after January 1, 2006 and over the remaining service period for the unvested portion of awards granted prior to January 1, 2006.
The following weighted average assumptions were utilized in the valuation of stock options in 2009 and 2008 (excluding the Bioscrypt assumed stock options):
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,   June 30,   June 30,
    2009   2008   2009   2008
Expected common stock price volatility
    58.4 %     52.0 %     57.8 %     52.0 %
Risk free interest rate
    3.7 %     4.1 %     4.0 %     4.2 %
Expected life of options
  6.3 Years   6.2 Years   6.3 Years   5.9 Years
Expected annual dividends

Table of Contents

     The expected volatility rate is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of options are calculated pursuant to the guidance from Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Company estimated forfeitures are based on historical rates. The risk free interest rate is based on the applicable treasury security whose term approximates the expected life of the options. The Company updates these assumptions on at least an annual basis and on an interim basis if significant changes to the assumptions are determined to be necessary.
Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share
     The Company computes basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of diluted common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
     The basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculation is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including 1.1 million shares issuable pursuant to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock before their conversion into common stock. The impact of approximately 0.1 million common equivalent shares for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, and the impact of approximately 5.3 million and 5.4 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, were not reflected in the net income (loss) per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. There was no impact for the three month period ending June 30, 2009.
     The Company calculates the effect of the Convertible Notes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, on diluted earnings per share utilizing the “if converted” method. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the effect was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, approximately 5.5 million shares of weighted average common stock issuable at conversion have been excluded from the determination of weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
     In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into a pre-paid forward contract with Bear Stearns Companies, Inc. (“Bear Stearns”; subsequently acquired by JP Morgan Chase & Co.) for a payment of $69.8 million to purchase 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $20.00 per share for delivery in 2012. Pursuant to SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, the number of shares to be delivered under the contract is used to reduce weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for income (loss) per share purposes.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
     Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the following accounting standards:
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, SFAS No. 157, as amended. With respect to financial assets and liabilities, SFAS No. 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. With respect to non-financial assets and liabilities, the standard was effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of any period presented.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 3.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which establishes standards for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and for information to disclose. Among other things, SFAS No. 141(R) requires securities issued to be valued as of the acquisition date, transaction costs incurred in connection with an acquisition be expensed, except acquiree costs that meet the criteria of SFAS No. 146, contingent consideration be recognized at fair value as of the date of acquisition with subsequent changes reflected in income, and in-process research and development be capitalized as an intangible asset. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) effective January 1, 2009. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 141(R), the Company expensed transaction costs of $0.3 million in the first half of 2009 and retroactively expensed previously deferred transaction costs of $0.1 million in prior periods. We expect that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will likely have a continuing material impact in accounting for future acquisitions.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (the FSP No. APB 14-1). This FSP required the Company to separately account for the liability and equity components of the Company’s 3.75% Convertible Notes in a manner that results in recording interest expense using the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate for such debt, which the Company estimated to be

Table of Contents

7.5%. The associated discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method over five years from the date of the debt issuance. The Company adopted the FSP on January 1, 2009, and applied its provisions retrospectively to all periods presented. The following summarizes the impact of the adoption of the provisions of the standard and FAS 141(R) to the periods indicated:

     As previously reported, the financial data included in these condensed financial statement has been revised to reflect the retroactive adoption of the accounting standards.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. The FSP amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of any period presented.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” which amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, to address application issues related to the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from

10


Table of Contents

contingencies in business combinations consummated after December 15, 2008. We expect that the adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 will likely have a continuing material impact in accounting for future acquisitions.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.
Codification
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and The Hierarchy of General Accepted Accounting Principles — A replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

     Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets were $2.3 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Other intangible asset amortization excluding acquisition related amortization was $0.8 million and $0.6 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets were $5.0 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Other intangible asset amortization excluding acquisition related amortization was $1.7 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Financial Instruments
     The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term maturities. The carrying amount of borrowings under the revolving credit agreement approximates fair value since the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. The fair value of the Convertible Notes and term loan is based on transaction prices. The fair value of the interest rate protection agreements and foreign currency forward contracts are determined based on the estimated amounts that such contracts could be settled with the counterparty at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates, future expectations of interest rates, and our current credit worthiness. The recorded and fair value amounts are as follows for June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Derivatives
          The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and foreign exchange risks that in part are managed by using derivative financial instruments. These derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts related to risks associated with foreign operations and interest rate protection agreements related to risks associated with variable rate borrowings. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and at June 30, 2009, has no derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges.
     Derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair values. Derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which the hedged transactions impact earnings. Gains and losses related to derivatives not meeting the requirements of hedge accounting and the portion of derivatives related to hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
     At June 30, 2009, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts hedged forecasted transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars aggregating $1.5 million. At December 31, 2008 foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges were used to mitigate the Company’s exposure to liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen aggregating $3.5 million.

In October 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement with a notional amount of $62.5 million, and expires in November, 2011. Under the term of the agreement, the Company pays the counter party a fixed rate of 4.1% and receives variable interest based on three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3.0%). In May 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate protection agreements with notional amounts of $50.0 million each, and expire in May 2011, pursuant to which the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.4% for both, and receives one month LIBOR. The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company’s exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreements. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of L-1 common stock equal to the liquidation preference then in effect, divided by $13.19, subject to stockholder approval pursuant to the listed company rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

On June 29, 2009, the sublease was extended until March 2015.

The spouse of Ms. Fordyce, Executive Vice President, Corporate Communications of the Company was an executive and senior investment banker at Bear Stearns involved with the engagement and has a personal investment in Aston.

The Company waived any claims it may have against Bear Stearns with respect to any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise with respect to these relationships in the context of the Bear Stearns engagement.
     Prior to August 5, 2008, Bear Stearns was a party to the revolving credit agreement under which it was paid $0.6 million, $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. In addition, Bear Stearns was an initial purchaser of the Convertible Notes issued on May 17, 2007, for which it received an aggregate discount of $4.8 million.

Such agreements provide for employment and related compensation and restrict the individuals from competing with the Company. The agreements also provide for the grant of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans and for severance upon termination under circumstances defined in such agreements.
     As a condition to the closing of the Identix merger, the Company and L-1 Investment Partners LLC entered into a Termination and Noncompete Agreement which, among other things, (1) terminated all arrangements whereby L-1 Investment Partners LLC and its affiliates provided financial, advisory, administrative or other services to the Company or its affiliates, and (2) prohibits L-1 Investment Partners LLC and its affiliates from engaging or assisting any person who competes directly or indirectly with the Company in the business of biometric, credentialing and ID management business anywhere in the United States or anywhere else in the world where the Company does business, or plans to do business or is actively evaluating doing business during the restricted period; provided however that the foregoing does not restrict L-1 Investment Partners LLC and its affiliates from retaining its investment in and advising AFIX Technologies, Inc. The restricted period runs co-terminously with the term of Mr. LaPenta’s employment agreement with the Company, dated as of August 29, 2006, and for a twelve month period following the expiration of the term of Mr. LaPenta’s employment agreement. On April 23, 2007, the Company entered into an employee arrangement with Mr. Robert LaPenta, Jr., the son of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to serve as Vice President, M&A/Corporate Development.

The investment agreement provides Aston a right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata portion of new securities issued by L-1, subject to exceptions specified therein.

Credit Agreement
     On August 5, 2008, L-1 entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among L-1 Identity Operating, L-1, Bank of America, N.A., Wachovia Bank, National Association, Banc of America Securities LLC and Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Societe Generale and TD Bank, N.A. to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, by and among L-1, Bank of America, N.A. (“Administrative Agent”), Bear Stearns Corporate Lending, Inc., Bear Stearns & Co., Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Wachovia Bank, N.A. and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, with a term of five years, and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $135.0 million. The proceeds of the senior secured facilities were used to (i) fund, in part, the purchase price paid, and fees and expenses incurred, in connection with the acquisition of L-1’s acquisition of Digimarc Corporation after giving effect to the spin-off of its digital watermarking business (“Old Digimarc”), (ii) repay borrowings under L-1’s then existing revolving credit facility and (iii) provide ongoing working capital and fund other general corporate purposes of L-1. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has approximately $124.1 million available under its revolving credit facility, net of letters of credits of $10.9 million, subject to continuing compliance with the covenants contained in the agreement.
     On July 9, 2009, L-1 entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, effective as of July 8, 2009, pursuant to which the term loans under the Credit Agreement have been split into two tranches: Tranche B-1 Term Loans and Tranche B-2 Term Loans. The Tranche B-1 Term Loans, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $159.1 million, require annual principal payments (payable quarterly) of 5% of the related original principal amount through September 30, 2009, 10% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2010, and increasing thereafter over the duration of the Credit Agreement. The Tranche B-2 Term Loans, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $129.6 million, require annual principal payments (also payable quarterly) of 1% of the related original principal amounts over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Tranche B-1 Term Loan lenders may elect to convert their loans to Tranche B-2 Term Loans, up to a maximum of $30.0 million through July 31, 2009.
     Under the terms of the amended senior secured credit facility the Company has the option to borrow at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3%) plus 2.75% to 5.0% per annum or at prime (subject to a floor of 2%) plus 1.75% to 4.0% per annum. The interest rates applicable to the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will be increased by 0.5% per annum. L-1 is required to pay a fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. All obligations of L-1 Operating under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by L-1 and by each of L-1’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions). At June 30, 2009, the interest rate was 6.75%.
     L-1 is required to maintain the following financial covenants under the Credit Agreement:
    As of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date to the sum of (i) Consolidated Interest Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of L-1 Operating and its consolidated subsidiaries paid or payable in cash during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or immediately prior to such date, plus (ii) Consolidated Debt Amortization (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of such date, shall not be less than 2.25:1.00; and at June 30, 2009, the ratio was 2.5:1.00.
    As of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of L-1 Operating’s Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which excludes standby letters of credit issued in connection with performance bonds) as of such date to its Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or immediately prior to such date, may not be more than: (i) 3.25:1.00 from the Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement)

17


Table of Contents

to and including March 10, 2010, (ii) 3.00:1.00 from March 11, 2010, to March 30, 2011, and (iii) 2.75:1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter. At June 30, 2009, the ratio was 3.0:1.00.
     The amendment provided that L-1’s compliance with these financial covenants will be measured after giving effect to the reduced principal payments provided by the amendment, as if the amendment had been in effect at the beginning of the measurement period, and after eliminating the effects of recently issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 and No. 159.
     Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, L-1 Operating may incur, assume or guarantee unsecured subordinated indebtedness in an amount up to $200.0 million, provided that no default or event of default shall have occurred or would occur as a result of the incurrence of such subordinated debt and the borrower and its subsidiaries are in pro forma compliance, after giving effect to the incurrence of such subordinated debt, with each of the covenants in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the financial covenants mentioned above. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, L-1 may incur, assume or guarantee any amount of unsecured subordinated indebtedness, provided, that no default or event of default shall have occurred or would occur as a result of the incurrence of such subordinated debt and the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of L-1 and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the incurrence of such subordinated debt shall be less than 4.75:1.00. The Credit Agreement limits the ability of L-1 to (i) pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase capital stock, (ii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness, (iii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist liens upon any of its property, assets or revenues, (iv) sell, transfer, license, lease or otherwise dispose of any property, (v) make or become legally obligated to make capital expenditures above certain thresholds, (vi) make investments, including acquisitions, and (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. The Credit Agreement provides for events of default which include (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, inability to pay debts as they become due and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) declare all outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement to be due and payable.
     The Company has entered into an interest rate protection agreements to reduce its exposure to the variable interest rate payments on its term loan. In October 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement with a notional amount of $62.5 million, and expires in November, 2011. Under the term of the agreement, the Company pays the counter party a fixed rate of 4.1% and receives variable interest based on three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3.0%). In May 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate protection agreements with notional amounts of $50.0 million each, and expire in May 2011, pursuant to which the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.4% for both, and receives one month LIBOR. The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company’s exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreements. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.
Convertible Senior Notes
     On May 17, 2007, the Company issued $175.0 million of Convertible Notes with a conversion feature which allows the Company the option to settle the debt either in shares of common stock or to settle the principal amount in cash and the conversion spread in cash or common stock. The proceeds of the Convertible Notes offering, net of deferred financing costs amounted to $168.7 million. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, EITF 90-19 and EITF 01-06, the embedded conversion feature has not been deemed a derivative since the conversion feature is indexed to the Company’s stock and would be classified as equity.
     The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated May 17, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The Notes will be convertible only under certain circumstances, as described in the following paragraph. If, at the time of conversion, the daily volume-weighted average price per share for a 25 trading day period calculated in accordance with the Indenture (as defined in greater detail in the Indenture, “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock is less than or equal to $32.00 per share, which is referred to as the base conversion price, the Notes will be convertible into 31.25 shares of common stock of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If, at the time of conversion, the VWAP of the shares of common stock of the Company exceeds the base conversion price of $32.00 per share, the conversion rate will be determined pursuant to a formula resulting in holders’ receipt of up to an additional 14 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and determined as set forth in the Indenture.
     The Notes are convertible until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding May 15, 2027, in multiples of $1,000 in principal amount, at the option of the holder under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per Note, for each day of such measurement period, was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of shares of common stock of the Company and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; (2) during any fiscal quarter, if the last reported sale price of shares of common stock of the Company for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the

18


Table of Contents

immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the base conversion price on the related trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption; and (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company has the right to deliver shares of common stock based upon the applicable conversion rate, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value as described above calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day of a 25 trading-day observation period. In the event of a fundamental change as specified in the Indenture, the Company will increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock specified in the Indenture, or, in lieu thereof, the Company may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate and related conversion obligation so that the Notes will become convertible into shares of the acquiring or surviving company.
     The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year payable semiannually in arrears in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2007. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, on or after May 20, 2012, subject to prior notice as provided in the Indenture. The redemption price during that period will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The holders may require the Company to repurchase the Notes for cash on May 15, 2012, May 15, 2017 and May 15, 2020. Pursuant to the provision of SFAS Nos. 150 and 133, the embedded redemption and repurchase provisions have not been separated from the host contracts and accounted for as derivatives because such embedded derivatives are deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract.
     The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of L-1 Operating. Under the term of the Credit Agreement, as defined above, L-1 Operating may not make any dividend payment to the Company except to permit the Company to make scheduled interest payments on the subordinated debt up to a maximum of $10.0 million per year, and for certain tax liabilities. However, subject to certain prepayment requirements under the Credit Agreement, the Company may prepay, redeem or repurchase the Convertible Notes in amounts not in excess of proceeds from the issuance of additional equity securities of the Company.
6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock and Warrants
     On December 16, 2005, upon the completion of the acquisition of IBT, L-1 issued warrants to purchase 440,000 shares of L-1 common stock with an exercise price of $13.75 per share to L-1 Investment Partners LLC for strategic advice, due diligence and other services relating to the acquisition, all of which expired unexercised on December 16, 2008.
     In connection with the merger with Identix, the Company assumed Identix’ obligation under a warrant, which was issued in exchange for the technology and intellectual property rights acquired by Identix. The warrant was issued with contingent future vesting rights to purchase up to 378,400 shares of common stock at $9.94 per share. The fair value of the warrant at the time of vesting will be recorded as additional cost of the acquisition of Identix. The warrant vests upon successful issuance of certain patents with the U.S. government related to the technology acquired. As of June 30, 2009, 141,900 warrants were vested of which 17,738 have been exercised, and 236,500 remain unvested. The warrants expire in 2014.
     In connection with Identix’ merger with Visionics in 2002, the Company also assumed warrants to purchase shares of Visionics common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, which were converted into warrants to purchase shares of Identix common stock. The remaining warrants to purchase 38,789 shares of common stock of the Company will expire once it fulfills its registration obligations, and have exercise prices between $20.78 and $26.53.
Pre-paid Forward Contract
     In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes on May 17, 2007, the Company entered into a contract with Bear Stearns (subsequently acquired by JP Morgan Chase & Co.) to purchase 3,490,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $20.00 per share. Under the agreement, Bear Stearns is required to deliver the shares to the Company in the second quarter of 2012. The transaction is subject to early settlement or settlement with alternative consideration in the event of certain significant corporate transactions such as a change in control. At closing of the Convertible Notes, the Company settled its obligation under the pre-paid forward contract to Bear Stearns for cash of $69.8 million. As required by SFAS No. 150, the fair value of the obligation (which is equal to the cash paid) has been accounted for as a repurchase of common stock and as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Under terms of the contract, any dividend payment that Bear Stearns would otherwise be entitled to on the common stock during the term of the contract would be paid to the Company.

     The aggregate unearned compensation cost of unvested options outstanding as of June 30, 2009, was $19.7 million and will be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of options.
     During February 2009, the Company awarded 759,750 shares of restricted stock to officers and employees and had total outstanding restricted stock awards of 782,395 as of June 30, 2009. The restricted stock vests over four years and the weighted average grant date fair value was $7.60 at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, approximately 584,000 shares are expected to vest. Unearned compensation related to restricted stock approximated $4.0 million at June 30, 2009.
     Options and restricted stock expected to vest are determined by applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding options and restricted stock.
     Stock-based compensation expense was $5.6 million and $10.9 million and $3.5 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and includes compensation related to restricted stock, stock options, employee purchases under the stock purchase plan, and Company retirement plan contributions settled or to be settled in common stock.

8. LITIGATION
Old Digimarc Litigation
     In connection with the Company’s August 2008 acquisition of Old Digimarc, which consisted of its Secure ID Business following the spin-off of its digital watermarking business, the Company assumed certain legal proceedings of Old Digimarc as described below.

20


Table of Contents

     Beginning in May 2001, a number of substantially identical class action complaints alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming approximately 300 companies, including Old Digimarc, and their officers and directors and underwriters as defendants in connection with the initial public offerings of these companies. The complaints have since been consolidated into a single action, and a consolidated amended complaint was filed in April 2002. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of Old Digimarc’s initial public offering violated securities laws by failing to disclose certain alleged compensation arrangements in Old Digimarc’s initial public offering registration statement and by engaging in manipulative practices to artificially inflate the price of Old Digimarc’s stock in the aftermarket subsequent to the initial public offering. Old Digimarc and certain of its officers and directors are named in the amended complaint pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on the basis of an alleged failure to disclose the underwriters’ alleged compensation arrangements and manipulative practices. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. The individual officer and director defendants entered into tolling agreements and, pursuant to a court order dated October 9, 2002, were dismissed from the litigation without prejudice. The plaintiffs have continued to litigate their claims primarily against the underwriter defendants. The district court directed that the litigation proceed within a number of “focus cases” rather than in all of the 309 cases that have now been consolidated. Old Digimarc was not one of these focus cases. On December 5, 2006, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the district court’s class certification decision for the six focus cases. On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed their second consolidated amended class action complaints against the focus cases and on September 27, 2007, again moved for class certification. On November 12, 2007, certain of the defendants in the focus cases moved to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action complaints. The court issued an opinion and order on March 26, 2008, denying the motion to dismiss except as to Section 11 claims raised by those plaintiffs who sold their securities for a price in excess of the initial offering price and those who purchased outside the previously certified class period. The class certification motion was withdrawn without prejudice on October 10, 2008. On February 25, 2009, liaison counsel for the plaintiffs informed the district court that a settlement had been agreed to in principle, subject to formal approval by the parties, and preliminary and final approval by the Court. On April 2, 2009, a stipulation and agreement of settlement among the plaintiffs, issuer defendants and underwriter defendants was submitted to the Court for preliminary approval. On June 10, 2009, the Judge granted preliminary approval for the parties to proceed with settlement on the terms previously submitted to the Court. A hearing for final approval is scheduled to take place September 10, 2009. If at the hearing, the Court determines that the settlement is fair to the class members, the settlement will be approved. There can be no assurance that this proposed settlement will be approved and implemented in its current form, or at all. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and because the settlement approval process is at a preliminary stage, the ultimate outcome of the matter is uncertain.
     On October 10, 2007, an Old Digimarc stockholder filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington against several companies that acted as lead underwriters for the Old Digimarc initial public offering. The complaint, which also named Old Digimarc as a nominal defendant but did not assert any claims against Old Digimarc, asserted claims against the underwriters under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for recovery of alleged short-swing profits on trades of Old Digimarc stock. On February 28, 2008, an amended complaint was filed, with Old Digimarc still named only as a nominal defendant. Similar complaints have been filed by this same plaintiff against a number of other issuers in connection with their initial public offerings, and the factual allegations are closely related to the allegations in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York which is described above. On July 25, 2008, Old Digimarc joined with 29 other issuers to file the Issuer Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss. On that same date, the Underwriter Defendants also filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss. Plaintiff filed her oppositions to the motions on September 8, 2008. Replies in support of the motions were filed on or about October 23, 2008, and oral arguments were heard on January 16, 2009. On March 12, 2009, the judge dismissed the plaintiff’s claims on a jurisdictional and statute of limitations basis. On April 10, 2009, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal. The plaintiff’s’ opening brief in the appeal is currently due on August 26, 2009, with the Company and the underwriters’ responses due on October 2, 2009. The plaintiff may file a reply brief on November 2, 2009, with the Company and the underwriters’ further responses due on November 17, 2009. The Company currently believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other
     In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies , the Company records a liability for any claim, demand, litigation and other contingency when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss. Based on current information and belief, the Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation the ultimate outcome of certain litigation cannot be accurately predicted by the Company; it is therefore possible that the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters and contingencies.
9. INCOME TAXES

21


Table of Contents

     For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 the tax (provision) benefit was $2.2 million and ($0.1) million, respectively. The pre-tax loss was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company reported pre-tax income of $9,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The tax (provision) benefit is based on estimated annual effective tax rates applied to the cumulative year to date results for both periods. Separate annual effective tax rates were used for entities that file returns on a separate company basis and expect to report losses for the full year, which have an estimated annual effective tax rate of 0%, and the remainder of entities included in the consolidated financial statements whose estimated annual effective tax rates were 40% and 43% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The reported tax (provision) benefit also reflects certain discrete items that are not included in the determination of the estimated annual effective tax rate.
10. SEGMENT REPORTING, GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK
     The Company operates in two reportable segments. The Identity Solutions reportable segment enables governments, law enforcement agencies, and businesses to enhance security, reduce identity theft, and protect personal privacy utilizing secure credential provisioning and authentication systems, biometric technology and the creation, enhancement and/or utilization of identity databases. The Services reportable segment provides fingerprinting services to government, civil, and commercial customers, as well as security consulting services to U.S. Government agencies. The Company measures segment performance primarily based on revenues and operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.

11. ACQUISITION OF OLD DIGIMARC
     In August  2008, L-1 completed the acquisition of Old Digimarc, which comprises Digimarc’s ID systems business, pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 29, 2008, as amended. The aggregate purchase price was $310.0 million in cash, plus direct acquisition costs of approximately $5.5 million. L-1’s acquisition of common stock (the “Shares”) was structured as a two-step transaction, with a cash tender offer by a wholly-owned subsidiary of L-1 for the Shares, pursuant to which L-1 initially acquired approximately 79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Old Digimarc on August 2, 2008, followed by the merger of such subsidiary with and into Old Digimarc (the “Merger”), with Old Digimarc, now known as L-1 Secure Credentialing, Inc., continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of L-1. Prior to the Merger Old Digimarc distributed all of the interests of the limited liability company (“LLC”) which held the digital watermarking business, substantially all

Table of Contents

the cash of Old Digimarc and certain other assets and liabilities into a liquidating trust for the benefit of Old Digimarc’s stockholders (the “Spin-Off”). Immediately following the Spin-Off, LLC merged with and into New Digimarc, with New Digimarc continuing as the surviving corporation, and each unit of LLC converted into one share of New Digimarc common stock. All restricted stock units and outstanding options to purchase shares of Old Digimarc common stock became fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the record date used to determine which Old Digimarc stockholders were entitled to the distribution of LLC interests in connection with the Spin-Off. Holders of Old Digimarc stock options who exercised such options received cash consideration in connection with the Merger and LLC interests in connection with the Spin-Off. All Old Digimarc stock options that were not exercised prior to the completion of the Spin-Off were cancelled.
     L-1 acquired Old Digimarc because it believes that the acquisition positions the combined company as a leader in providing credential systems and to take advantage of the opportunities created by the Real ID program. Moreover, the combined company will be able to deliver enhanced protection and facilitate the development of the next generation of credentialing functionality. Old Digimarc integrated in the Secure Credentialing operating segment included in the Identity Solutions reportable segment. Preliminarily, the purchase price has been allocated as follows (in thousands):
         
Cash acquired
  $ 50  
Other current assets
    21,297  
Property, plant and equipment
    52,491  
Other assets
    695  
Current liabilities
    (21,204 )
Deferred revenue
    (6,544 )
Other non-current liabilities

Intangible assets
    38,606  
Goodwill
    230,759  
 
     
 
  $ 315,526  
 
     
     The purchase price allocation of Old Digimarc is preliminary. The final allocation will be based on analyses of identifiable intangible assets, contingent liabilities and income taxes, among other things, and will be finalized after the data necessary to compare the analyses of fair value of assets and liabilities is obtained and analyzed. Differences between preliminary and final allocations are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations. None of the goodwill or the assigned value to intangible assets is deductible for income tax purposes.

ITEM 2   —  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2009 and the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
     L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide identity solutions and services that enable governments, law enforcement agencies and businesses to enhance security, reduce identity theft and protect personal privacy. L-1’s identity solutions are specifically designed for the identification of people and include secure credentialing, biometrics capture and access devices, automated document authentication, automated biometric identification systems, and biometrically-enabled background checks, as well as systems design, development, integration and support services. These identity solutions enable L-1’s customers to manage the entire life cycle of an individual’s identity for a variety of applications including civil identification, criminal identification, commercial, border management, military, antiterrorism and national security. L-1 also provides comprehensive consulting, training, security, technology development, and information technology solutions to the U.S. intelligence community.
     The Company’s identity solutions combine products and related services, consisting of hardware, components, consumables and software, as well as maintenance, consulting and training services integral to sales of hardware and software. The Company also provides fingerprinting enrollment services and government consulting, training, security, technology development and information technology services. Customers, depending on their needs, may order solutions that include hardware, equipment, consumables, software products or services or combine hardware products, consumables, equipment, software products and services to create multiple element arrangements.
     Consumers of identity protection solutions are demanding end-to-end solutions with increased functionality that can solve their spectrum of needs across the identity life cycle. Our objective is to meet those growing needs by continuing to broaden our product and solution offerings to meet our customer needs, leveraging our existing customer base to provide additional products and services, expanding our customer base both domestically and abroad, and augmenting our competitive position through strategic acquisitions. We evaluate our business primarily through financial metrics such as revenues, operating income (loss) and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments and in-process research and development charges, and stock-based compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”), as well as free cash flow.
     Our revenues increased to $168.1 million and $318.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, from $145.0 million and $260.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Our net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, was $1.2 million and $5.0 million compared to a net income of $2.5 million and net loss of $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, of which $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to costs incurred in connection with potential acquisitions.
Acquisitions
     We have pursued strategic acquisitions to complement and expand our existing solutions and services. Our acquisitions since January 1, 2008 include:
    Our August 2008 acquisition of the Secure ID business of Digimarc Corporation (“Old Digimarc”), which provides secure credentialing systems to state and local government agencies;
 
    Our March 2008 acquisition of Bioscrypt, which provides enterprise access control to over 400 global customers.
     The acquisitions have resulted in the consolidation of certain marketing resources, corporate functions of the separate entities and are expected to have a continuing material effect on our operations resulting from, but not limited to:
    Expected synergies resulting from providing a comprehensive product line to current and future customers.
 
    Expected future growth in revenues and profits from expanded markets for identity solutions.
 
    Enhancement of technical capabilities resulting from combining the intellectual capital of the acquired businesses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Results of Operations
     The comparative results of operations for 2009 and 2008 have been affected by the March 2008 acquisition of Bioscrypt and the August 2008 acquisition of Old Digimarc (collectively the “Acquisitions”). The results of operations of the Acquisitions have been reflected in the financial statements as of the respective dates of acquisition. Accordingly, the Acquisitions are included in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 for the full period and with respect to the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, includes three months and four months of the results of operations of Bioscrypt, respectively, and does not include Old Digimarc.

Revenues increased to approximately $318.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to approximately $260.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 or $57.3 million. Substantially all of the increase in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 is attributable to the Digimarc acquisition consummated in August 2008. In addition, during both periods there were increases related to higher volumes in our government security services and background screening services included in our Services segment, offset by the impact of revenues from U.S. Passport and Passport Card consumables and printer orders placed in 2008 in anticipation of future requirements, along with significant license revenues in the prior year periods.

     Cost of revenues increased by $21.9 million and $44.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the Digimarc acquisition consummated in August 2008, as well as the impact of a higher percentage of revenues realized in 2009 from government services and enrollment services product lines, offset by the effect of licensing revenue from the biometrics business and the U.S. Passport and Passport Card consumables and printer orders in 2008 as noted above. Consolidated gross margins were 29% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to 33% and 30% in the prior year and reflects the changes in revenue mix described above, as well as the impact of lower amortization of intangible assets in 2009 discussed below.
     Included in the cost of revenues for three and six months ended June 30, of 2009 was $2.0 million and $4.4 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, respectively, which decreased by approximately $4.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months from the prior year periods, reflecting lower amortization resulting from intangible asset impairments recorded in 2008, offset by additional amortization related to acquisitions. Amortization of acquired intangible assets reduced gross margins by 1% and 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and by 1% and 5% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

     Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 from the prior year periods. The increases reflect the impact of the Acquisitions, and our continued investment in increasing sales and international marketing resources, offset by cost reductions from synergies and rationalization in certain of our businesses. Sales and marketing expenses consists primarily of salaries and costs including stock-based compensation, commissions, travel and entertainment expenses, promotions and other marketing and sales support expenses.

     Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million and by $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. We continued to focus on enhancing our credentialing and biometric solutions offerings while at the same time maximizing our research costs to focus on those activities with the greatest technological and revenue potential. The decreases reflect higher utilization of our research and development resources in the performance of contracts, the cost of which is included in cost of revenues, and investments in other projects, offset in part by the impact of the Acquisitions. Gross research and development expenditures aggregated $11.2 million and $22.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $9.4 million and $18.3 million for the comparable periods in the prior year, respectively. Virtually all of our research and development costs are attributable to our Identity Solutions segment. As a percentage of Identity Solutions revenues, gross research and development costs were 15% for both the six months ended June 30,

As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 15% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 16% and 15% for the corresponding periods in 2008 and reflect the impact of increases resulting from the Acquisitions, improved operating leverage, including cost savings from work force reductions. In addition, the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 includes a provision of $1.2 million related to the Registered Traveler contract. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, including stock-based compensation for our executive and administrative personnel, professional and board of directors’ fees, public and investor relations and insurance.

The pre-tax loss was $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company reported pre-tax income of $9,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The tax (provision) benefit is based on estimated annual effective tax rates applied to the cumulative year to date results for both periods. Separate annual effective tax rates were used for entities that file returns on a separate company basis and expect to report losses for the full year, which have an estimated annual effective tax rate of 0%, and the remainder of entities included in the consolidated financial statements whose estimated annual effective tax rates were 40% and 43% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Capital Requirements
          Our most significant capital requirements consist of acquisitions, capital expenditures for new secure credentialing contracts, research and development and working capital needs. The most significant capital expenditures are related to our Identity Solutions segment. When we bid on new state drivers’ license contracts, we must commit to provide up front capital expenditures in order to install systems necessary to perform under the contract. It is expected that with the acquisition of Old Digimarc, our capital requirements will increase as we bid on and are awarded new contracts or as contracts are renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our capital expenditures increased to $22.3 million compared to $7.7 million in 2008 and are expected to increase again during the remainder of 2009 as we are required to fund capital expenditures of Old Digimarc for the full year. We expect to fund our capital requirements primarily with operating cash flows.
  Liquidity
     As of June 30, 2009, we had $8.5 million of positive working capital including deferred income taxes of $10.9 million, $16.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and current maturities of long term debt of $27.1 million. On a pro forma basis, working capital after the reduction in principal payments provided by our credit agreement amendment described below was $18.9 million. In addition, we have financing arrangements, as further described below, available to support our ongoing liquidity needs, pursuant to which we had available $124.1 million at June 30, 2009. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, existing financing arrangements and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. However, it is likely that we will require additional debt or equity financing to execute our acquisition strategy and in that connection, we evaluate financing needs on a regular basis and consider other financing options based on market conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that additional debt or equity financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Our ability to meet our business plan is dependent on a number of factors, including those described in the section of this report entitled “Risk Factors” and those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

     Credit Agreement
     On August 5, 2008, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among L-1 Identity Operating, L-1, Bank of America, N.A., Wachovia Bank, National Association, Banc of America Securities LLC and Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, by and among L-1, Bank of America, N.A. (“Administrative Agent”), Bear Stearns Corporate Lending, Inc., Bear Stearns & Co., Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Wachovia Bank, N.A. and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, with a term of five years, and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $135.0 million. The proceeds of the senior secured facilities were used to (i) fund, in part, the purchase price paid, and fees and expenses incurred, in connection with L-1’s acquisition of Digimarc Corporation after giving effect to the spin-off of its digital watermarking business (“Old Digimarc”), (ii) repay borrowings under L-1’s then existing revolving credit facility and (iii) provide ongoing working capital and fund other general corporate purposes of L-1.
     On July 9, 2009, L-1 entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, effective as of July 8, 2009, pursuant to which the term loans under the Credit Agreement have been split into two tranches: Tranche B-1 Term Loans and Tranche B-2 Term Loans. The Tranche B-1 Term Loans, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $159.1 million, require annual principal payments (payable quarterly) of 5% of the related original principal amount through September 30, 2009, 10% of the original principal amount through September 30, 2010, and increasing thereafter over the duration of the Credit Agreement. The Tranche B-2 Term Loans, which an aggregate principal amount of approximately $129.6 million, require annual principal payments (also payable quarterly) of 1% of the related original principal amounts over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Tranche B-1 Term Loan lenders may elect to convert their loans to Tranche B-2 Term Loans, up to a maximum of $30.0 million through July 31, 2009.
     Under the terms of the amended senior secured credit facility the Company has the option to borrow at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3%) plus 2.75% to 5.0% per annum or at prime (subject to a floor of 2%) plus 1.75% to 4.0% per annum. The interest rates applicable to the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will be increased by 0.5% per annum. L-1 is required to pay a fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. All obligations of L-1 Operating under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by
L-1 and by each of L-1’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions). At June 30, 2009, the interest rate was 6.75%.
     In addition, we are required to maintain the following financial covenants under the Credit Agreement:
    As of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of L-1 Operating and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date to the sum of (i) Consolidated Interest Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of L-1 Operating and its consolidated subsidiaries paid or payable in cash during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or immediately prior to such date, plus (ii) Consolidated Debt Amortization (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date, shall not be less than 2.25:1.00; and at June 30, 2009, the ratio was 2.5:1:00.
 
    As of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of L-1 Operating’s Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement which excludes standby letters of credit issued in connection with performance bonds) as of such date to its Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or immediately prior to such date, may not be more than: (i) 3.25:1.00 from the Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to and including March 10, 2010, (ii) 3.00:1.00 from March 11, 2010 to March 30, 2011, and (iii) 2.75:1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter. At June 30, 2009, the ratio was 3.0:1.00.
     The amendment provided that L-1’s compliance with these financial covenants will be measured after giving effect to the reduced principal payments provided by the amendment, as if the amendment had been in effect at the beginning of the measurement period, and after eliminating the effects of recently issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 and No. 159.
     As of June 30, 2009, the Company has approximately $124.1 million available under its revolving credit facility, subject to continuing compliance with covenants under the credit agreement.
     Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, L-1 Operating may incur, assume or guarantee unsecured subordinated indebtedness in an amount up to $200.0 million, provided that no default or event of default shall have occurred or would occur as a result of the incurrence of such subordinated debt and the borrower and its subsidiaries are in pro forma compliance, after giving effect to the incurrence of such subordinated debt, with each of the covenants in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the financial covenants mentioned above. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, L-1 may incur, assume or guarantee any amount of unsecured subordinated indebtedness, provided, that no default or event of default shall have occurred or would occur as a result of the incurrence of such subordinated debt and the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of L-1 and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the incurrence of such subordinated debt shall be less than 4.75:1.00. The Credit Agreement limits the ability of L-1 to (i) pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase capital stock, (ii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any

indebtedness, (iii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist liens upon any of its property, assets or revenues, (iv) sell, transfer, license, lease or otherwise dispose of any property, (v) make or become legally obligated to make capital expenditures above certain thresholds, (vi) make investments, including acquisitions, and (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, inability to pay debts as they become due and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) declare all outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement to be due and payable.
     The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements to reduce its exposure to the variable interest rate payments on its term loans. In October 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement with a notional amount of $62.5 million, which expires in November, 2011. Under the term of the agreement, the Company pays the counter party a fixed rate of 4.1% and receives variable interest based on three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3.0%). In May 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate protection agreements with notional amounts of $50.0 million each, pursuant to which the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.4% for both and receives one month LIBOR. The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company’s exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreements. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.
Convertible Senior Notes
     On May 17, 2007, the Company issued $175.0 million of Convertible Notes with a conversion feature which allows the Company the option to settle the debt either in shares of common stock or to settle the principal amount in cash and the conversion spread in cash or stock. The proceeds of the Convertible Notes offering, net of deferred financing costs amounted to $168.7 million. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into an agreement with Bear Stearns (subsequently acquired by JP Morgan Chase) to purchase approximately 3.5 million shares of our common stock for approximately $69.8 million. The shares will be delivered in May 2012; however, we settled our obligation at closing for a cash payment.
     The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated May 17, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The Notes will be convertible only under certain circumstances, as described in the following paragraph. If, at the time of conversion, the daily volume-weighted average price per share for a 25 trading day period calculated in accordance with the Indenture (as defined in greater detail in the Indenture, “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock is less than or equal to $32.00 per share, which is referred to as the base conversion price, the Notes will be convertible into 31.25 shares of common stock of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If, at the time of conversion, the VWAP of the shares of common stock of the Company exceeds the base conversion price of $32.00 per share, the conversion rate will be determined pursuant to a formula resulting in holders’ receipt of up to an additional 14 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and determined as set forth in the Indenture. As an example, if the volume-weighted price per share (VWAP) of the Company stock were to increase to $40.00 per share, the additional shares issuable upon conversion would be 2.8, and the shares issuable per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be 34.05.
     The Notes are convertible until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding May 15, 2027, in multiples of $1,000 in principal amount, at the option of the holder under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per Note, for each day of such measurement period, was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of shares of common stock of the Company and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; (2) during any fiscal quarter, if the last reported sale price of shares of common stock of the Company for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the base conversion price on the related trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption; and (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company has the right to deliver shares of common stock based upon the applicable conversion rate, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value as described above calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day of a 25 trading-day observation period. In the event of a fundamental change as specified in the Indenture, the Company will increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock specified in the Indenture, or, in lieu thereof, the Company may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate and related conversion obligation so that the Notes will become convertible into shares of the acquiring or surviving company.
     The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year payable semiannually in arrears in cash on May 15 and November 15. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, on or after May 20, 2012, subject to prior notice as provided in the Indenture. The redemption price during that period will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The holders may require the Company to repurchase the Notes for cash on May 15, 2012, May 15, 2017 and May 15, 2020.

     Cash flows from operating activities increased by approximately $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Net loss for the six months ending June 30, 2009 was $5.0 million and includes non-cash charges of $18.3 million for depreciation and amortization, $10.9 million for stock-based compensation and retirement contributions settled or to be settled in common stock, $5.8 million for amortization of deferred financing costs, debt discount and other, and $2.4 million for non-cash income tax benefit. Operating cash flows reflect the impact in accruals and deferrals related to operating assets and liabilities which had a positive impact of $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and an adverse impact of $14.1 million in the corresponding period in the prior year.
     Cash used for acquisitions in 2009, consisting principally of payments of acquisition related costs, totaled $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets were approximately $25.8 million and $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are primarily related to our drivers’ licenses product line.
     Net cash used in financing activities in 2009 was $7.0 million compared to $0.4 million in 2008. We repaid $7.5 million for the term loan in the first half of 2009 and had net borrowings of $4.0 million under our revolving credit facility in 2008. Also, in 2008, we repurchased 362,000 shares of our common stock for $6.2 million.
Working Capital
     Accounts receivable increased by approximately $12.3 million as of June 30, 2009, from December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased revenues in the first half of 2009, offset in part by improved collections. Days sales outstanding at June 30, 2009 was 64 days compared to 65 days at December 31, 2008.
     Inventory decreased by $4.1 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of planned reductions in our biometrics and credentialing businesses. Inventory reflects the levels required to meet expected deliveries of our credentialing and biometric solutions.
     Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased by $12.0 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, reflecting increases resulting from improved cash management practices, higher business activity, offset by lower accruals for employee compensation and benefits as a result of the annual settlement of certain accruals in the first quarter.
     Total deferred revenue decreased by $8.2 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of recognizing revenue on transactions that met the revenue recognition criteria during the second quarter.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
     The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Debt and capital lease obligations
  $ 535,977     $ 17,453     $ 100,971     $ 417,553        
     Included in debt is $175.0 million outstanding under our Convertible Notes which bears interest at 3.75% and a $300.0 million term loan that has a term of five years and bears interest at 6.75% at June 30, 2009. The amount shown for debt includes interest assuming the Convertible Notes are redeemed at the end of five years, in 2012. The table also reflects the repayment of the term loan prior to the redemption of the Convertible Notes and reflects the reduced principal repayment schedule provided by our July 2009 credit agreement amendment.
     The Company has consulting agreements with two related parties under which each receives annual compensation of $0.1 million through the earlier of January 2012 or commencement of full time employment elsewhere. In addition, the Company is subject to a royalty arrangement with a related party whereby the Company is subject to royalty payments on certain of its face recognition software revenue through June 30, 2014, up to a maximum $27.5 million.
     In connection with the merger with Identix, Aston Capital Partners, LLC, an affiliated company, and L-1 have agreed in principle that the Company may, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, purchase AFIX Technologies, Inc., a portfolio company of Aston, at fair market value to be determined by an independent appraiser retained by the Company’s Board of Directors. In March 2009, L-1 concluded that due to a variety of factors, it is not advisable to pursue the transaction to purchase AFIX at this point in time.
CONTINGENT OBLIGATIONS
     Our principal contingent obligations consist of cash payments that may be required upon achievement of acquired businesses’ performance incentives. Such obligations include contingent earn out payments in connection with our SpecTal acquisition. The maximum potential consideration aggregates to $1.8 million.
INFLATION
     Although some of our expenses increase with general inflation in the economy, inflation has not had a material impact on our financial results to date.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
     We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Consistent with U.S. GAAP, we have adopted accounting policies that we believe are most appropriate given the conditions and circumstances of our business. The application of these policies has a significant impact on our reported results of operations. In addition, some of these policies require management to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates, which are based on historical experience and analyses of current conditions and circumstances, have a significant impact on our reported results of operations and assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the allocation of purchase price of the acquired businesses, assessing the impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment, revenue recognition, income taxes, contingencies, litigation and valuation of financial instruments, including warrants and stock options. If actual results differ significantly from the estimates reflected in the financial statements, there could be a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
     Reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes to such policies, except as discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2009, related to the adoption of FAS 141(R), and FSP APB 14-1.
ITEM 3   —  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
     We are exposed to interest rate risk related to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2009, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement aggregated $288.8 million and bears interest at variable rates. At June 30, 2009, the market value of the term loan was approximately $288.0 million and the carrying amount was $285.0 million. The Company is exposed to risks resulting from increases in interest rates and benefits from decreasing interest rates. The Company has partially mitigated this interest rate risk by entering into interest rate protection agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $162.5 million pursuant to which it receives

34


Table of Contents

variable interest based on three month LIBOR, subject to a floor of 3.0% with respect to $62.5 million notional amount and pays a fixed interest rate. In May 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate protection agreements with notional amounts of $50.0 million each, and expires in May 2011, pursuant to which the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.4% for both, and receives one month LIBOR. The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company’s exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreements. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.
     Our Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate and mature in May 15, 2027, but can be redeemed by us or called by the holders in May 2012 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $32.00 (31.25 shares per $1,000 principal amount) in the following circumstances:
    If during any five consecutive trading day period the trading day period the trading price is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sales price multiplied by the applicable conversion rate.
 
    After June 30, 2009, if the sale price of our common stock for twenty or more trading days exceeds 130% of the initial conversion price.
 
    If the Company calls the Convertible Notes for redemption or upon certain specified transactions.
     The market value of the Convertible Notes is impacted by changes in interest rates and changes in the market value of our common stock. At June 30, 2009, the estimated market value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $138.7 million and the carrying amount was $158.3 million.
     For additional information regarding debt instruments see Notes 3 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Exposures
     The transactions of our international operations, primarily our German, Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries, are denominated in Euros, Canadian Dollars, and Mexican Pesos, respectively. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies consist primarily of accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses. At June 30, 2009, financial assets and liabilities denominated in Euros aggregated $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and at June 30, 2008, aggregated $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2009, financial assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian Dollars aggregated $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and at June 30, 2008, aggregated $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2009, financial assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican Pesos were $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
     Hardware and consumable purchases related to certain contracts are denominated in Japanese Yen and the Company’s costs and operations are exposed to changes in the value of the Yen since the related revenues are denominated in U.S dollars. At June 30, 2009, there were no Japanese Yen denominated liabilities. We use foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges to limit our exposure to Yen denominated liabilities. All gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in operations and are offset by unrealized gains and losses related to the corresponding recorded liabilities. As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not have foreign currency forward contracts for liabilities denominated in Yen. None of the contracts were terminated prior to settlement. In March 2009, we entered into a forward currency contract to hedge forecasted costs of $1.8 million denominated in Canadian Dollars. The unrealized gain related to the contracts was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2009. We also have entered into a contract to deliver solutions, hardware and maintenance which is denominated in Saudi Riyals for an aggregate contract value of approximately $20.0 million. The Saudi Riyal is currently pegged to the U.S. Dollar at a rate of 3.75 Riyal for each U.S. Dollar.
     Our international operations and transactions are subject to risks typical of international operations, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions and foreign currency exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially impacted by changes in these or other factors. Our principal exposure is related to subsidiaries whose costs and assets and liabilities denominated in Euros, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars and Mexican Pesos. As of June 30, 2009, the cumulative gain from foreign currency translation adjustments related to foreign operations was approximately $0.3 million.
Prepaid forward contract
     We have entered into a pre-paid forward contract with Bear Stearns (now JP Morgan Chase) to purchase approximately 3.5 million shares of our common stock at a price of $20.00 per share for delivery in May 2012. However, we settled the obligation with a cash payment at closing. The price of the common stock at the time of delivery may be higher or lower than $20.00.

ITEM 4   —  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and our subsidiaries required to be disclosed by us in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure control and procedures, management recognizes that any control and procedure, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
     In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed as of June 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
     In the normal course we review and change our internal controls to reflect changes in our business, including acquisition related improvements. Except as required in connection with these activities, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
     The certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer required in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) under the Exchange Act are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, and changes in our internal control over financial reporting, referred to in paragraph 4 of those certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1   —  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Old Digimarc Litigation
     In connection with the Company’s August 2008 acquisition of Old Digimarc, which consisted of its Secure ID Business following the spin-off of its digital watermarking business, the Company assumed certain legal proceedings of Old Digimarc as described below.
     Beginning in May 2001, a number of substantially identical class action complaints alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming approximately 300 companies, including Old Digimarc, and their officers and directors and underwriters as defendants in connection with the initial public offerings of these companies. The complaints have since been consolidated into a single action, and a consolidated amended complaint was filed in April 2002. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of Old Digimarc’s initial public offering violated securities laws by failing to disclose certain alleged compensation arrangements in Old Digimarc’s initial public offering registration statement and by engaging in manipulative practices to artificially inflate the price of Old Digimarc’s stock in the aftermarket subsequent to the initial public offering. Old Digimarc and certain of its officers and directors are named in the amended complaint pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on the basis of an alleged failure to disclose the underwriters’ alleged compensation arrangements and manipulative practices. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. The individual officer and director defendants entered into tolling agreements and, pursuant to a court order dated October 9, 2002, were dismissed from the litigation without prejudice. The plaintiffs have continued to litigate their claims primarily against the underwriter defendants. The district court directed that the litigation proceed within a number of “focus cases” rather than in all of the 309 cases that have now been consolidated. Old Digimarc was not one of these focus cases. On December 5, 2006, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the district court’s class certification decision for the six focus cases. On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed their second consolidated amended class action complaints against the focus cases and on September 27, 2007, again moved for class certification. On November 12, 2007, certain of the defendants in the focus cases moved to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action complaints. The court issued an opinion and order on March 26, 2008, denying the motion to dismiss except as to Section 11 claims raised by those plaintiffs who sold their securities for a price in excess of the initial offering price and those who purchased outside the previously certified class period. The class certification motion was withdrawn without prejudice on October 10, 2008. On February 25, 2009, liaison counsel for the plaintiffs informed the district court that a settlement had been agreed to in principle, subject to formal approval by the parties, and preliminary and final approval by the Court. On April 2, 2009, a stipulation and agreement of settlement among the plaintiffs, issuer defendants and underwriter defendants was submitted to the Court for preliminary approval. On June 10, 2009, the Judge granted preliminary approval for the parties to proceed with settlement on the terms previously submitted to the Court. A hearing for final approval is scheduled to take place September 10, 2009. If at that hearing the Court determines that the settlement is fair to the class members, the settlement will be approved. There can be no assurance that this proposed settlement will be approved and implemented in its current form, or at all. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and because the settlement approval process is at a preliminary stage, the ultimate outcome of the matter is uncertain.
     On October 10, 2007, an Old Digimarc stockholder filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington against several companies that acted as lead underwriters for the Old Digimarc initial public offering. The complaint, which also named Old Digimarc as a nominal defendant but did not assert any claims against Old Digimarc, asserted claims against the underwriters under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for recovery of alleged short-swing profits on trades of Old Digimarc stock. On February 28, 2008, an amended complaint was filed, with Old Digimarc still named only as a nominal defendant. Similar complaints have been filed by this same plaintiff against a number of other issuers in connection with their initial public offerings, and the factual allegations are closely related to the allegations in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York which is described above. On July 25, 2008, Old Digimarc joined with 29 other issuers to file the Issuer Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss. On that same date, the Underwriter Defendants also filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss. Plaintiff filed her oppositions to the motions on September 8, 2008. Replies in support of the motions were filed on or about October 23, 2008, and oral arguments were heard on January 16, 2009. On March 12, 2009, the judge dismissed the plaintiff’s claims on a jurisdictional and statute of limitations basis. On April 10, 2009, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal. The plaintiff’s’ opening brief in the appeal is currently due on August 26, 2009, with the Company and the underwriters’ responses due on October 2, 2009. The plaintiff may file a reply brief on November 2, 2009, with the Company and the underwriters’ further responses due on November 17, 2009. The Company currently believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other
     In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies , the Company records a liability for any claim, demand, litigation and other contingency when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and can reasonably

estimate the amount of the potential loss. Based on current information and belief, the Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation the ultimate outcome of certain litigation cannot be accurately predicted by the Company; it is therefore possible that the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters and contingencies.

ITEM 1A   —  RISK FACTORS
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Any statements contained herein (including without limitation statements to the effect that we or our management “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan” and similar expressions) that are not statements of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in this report. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set forth below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, may also materially and adversely impact our business. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
     Except as set forth below there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. We encourage you to review our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of the risks and uncertainties relating to our business.
Our acquisitions could result in future impairment charges and other charges which could adversely affect our results of operations.
     At June 30, 2009, we had assets consisting of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment of $893.7 million, $105.6 million and $92.1 million, respectively and in 2008, we recorded impairment charges aggregating $528.6 million for impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets, primarily related to our biometric businesses. Because goodwill represents a residual after the purchase price is allocated to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, it is difficult to quantify the factors that contribute to the recorded amounts and subsequent impairments.
     Management believes that the following factors have contributed to the amount recorded:
    technological development capabilities and intellectual capital;
 
    expected significant growth in revenues and profits from the expanding market in identity solutions; and
 
    expected synergies resulting from providing multi modal product offerings to existing customer base and to new customers of the combined company.
     The recorded amounts at the purchase date for goodwill and other intangible assets are estimates at a point in time and are based on valuations and other analyses of fair value that require significant estimates and assumptions about future events, including but not limited to projections of revenues, market growth, demand, technological developments, political developments, government policies, among other factors, which are derived from information obtained from independent sources, as well as the management of the acquired businesses and our business plans for the acquired businesses or intellectual property. If estimates and assumptions used to initially record goodwill and intangible assets do not materialize, or unanticipated adverse developments or events occur, including but not limited to adverse regulatory actions, further deterioration of capital market conditions, and adverse industry specific and general economic developments, ongoing reviews of the carrying amounts of such goodwill and intangible assets may result in impairments which will require us to record a charge in the period in which such an impairment is identified, and could have a severe negative impact on its business and financial statements.
     Between June 1, 2009 through July 30, 2009 our stock price has averaged $8.04 per share compared to $6.24 per share for the 60 days prior to December 31, 2008. However during both periods the price has fluctuated significantly. If our stock price were to decrease and remain at that level for a sustained period of time we may be required to assess the carrying amount of goodwill and long-lived assets of our reporting units before our scheduled annual impairment test. If at that time the estimated fair values of our reporting units are less than their respective carrying amounts, we would need to determine whether our goodwill and long-lived assets would be impaired. Moreover, if economic conditions continue to deteriorate and capital markets conditions continue to adversely impact the valuation of enterprises, the estimated fair values of our reporting units could be adversely impacted, which could result in future impairments.
We have a history of operating losses.

40


Table of Contents

     We have a history of operating losses. Our business operations began in 1993 and, except for 1996 and 2000, have resulted in pre-tax operating losses in each year, which in 2006, 2007 and 2008, include significant asset impairments and merger related expenses, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. At June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $628.3 million. We will continue to invest in the development of our secure credential and biometric technologies, as well as government services.
We may be unable to obtain additional capital required to finance our growth and our acquisition strategy may be adversely affected by the current volatile market conditions.
     Our strategy includes growth of our business through strategic acquisitions. In addition, the installation of our secure credentialing systems requires significant capital expenditures. Our need to fund such expenditures has increased following our acquisition of Old Digimarc. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our expenditures increased to $22.3 million, as compared to $7.7 million in the first half of 2008 and are expected to increase in the second half of the year. At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.9 million and availability under our line of credit of $124.1 million, subject to continuing compliance with covenants contained in the agreement. While we believe we have adequate capital resources to meet current working capital and capital expenditure requirements and have been successful in the past in obtaining financing for capital expenditures, and acquisitions, we expect to have increased capital needs as we continue to expand our business. In addition, our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy may be adversely affected by the current volatile market conditions, which may continue over a prolonged period. We may be unsuccessful in raising additional financing to fund growth or we may have difficulty in obtaining financing at attractive rates or on terms that are not excessively dilutive to existing stockholders. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon our expansion plans.
Our government contracts are subject to continued appropriations by Congress and availability of funding for state and local programs. Reduced or delayed funding could result in terminated or delayed contracts and adversely affect our ability to meet our sales and earnings goals.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, U.S. Federal Government agencies, directly or indirectly, accounted for 60% and 59%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, U.S. Federal Government agencies, directly or indirectly accounted for 71% for both periods, of our consolidated revenues. Future sales under existing and future awards of U.S. government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations, which could be affected by current or future economic conditions.
     Similar to federal government contracts, state and local government agency contracts may be contingent upon availability of funds provided by federal, state or local entities. In the current economic environment, many states may reduce expenditures which may result in cancellation or deferral of projects. State and local law enforcement and other government agencies are subject to political, budgetary, purchasing and delivery constraints which may result in quarterly and annual revenue and operating results that may be irregular and difficult to predict. Such revenue volatility makes management of inventory levels, cash flows and profitability inherently difficult. In addition, if we are successful in winning such procurements, there may be unevenness in shipping schedules, as well as potential delays and changes in the timing of deliveries and recognition of revenue, or cancellation of such procurements.
Our plan to pursue sales in international markets may be limited by risks related to conditions in such markets.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we derived approximately 7% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenues, from international sales and our strategy is to expand our international operations. There is a risk that we may not be able to successfully market, sell and deliver our products in foreign countries.
     Risks inherent in marketing, selling and delivering products in foreign and international markets, each of which could have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price, include those associated with:
    regional economic or political conditions;
 
    delays in or absolute prohibitions on exporting products resulting from export restrictions for certain products and technologies;
 
    loss of, or delays in importing products, services and intellectual property developed abroad, resulting from unstable or fluctuating social, political or governmental conditions;
 
    fluctuations in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar;

    loss of revenue, property (including intellectual property) and equipment from expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection, terrorism, criminal acts and other political and social risks;
 
    liabilities resulting from any unauthorized actions of our local resellers or agents under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or local anti-corruption statutes;
 
    the overlap of different tax structures;
 
    risks of increases in taxes and other government fees; and
 
    involuntary renegotiations of contracts with foreign governments.
     We expect that we will have increased exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. As of June 30, 2009, our accumulated other comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation gains of approximately $0.3 million. In addition, we have significant Japanese Yen denominated transactions with Japanese suppliers of hardware and consumables for the delivery to customers. Fluctuations in foreign currencies, including the Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, and the Euro could result in unexpected fluctuations to our results of operations, which could be material and adverse.
