Item 1. | Description of Business. |
Introduction to Business
Headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas, ICOP Digital, Inc. protects people, assets and profits, providing a Veil of Protection for the worlds communities with innovative, mission-critical security, surveillance and communication solutions.
ICOP was formed in May 2002 largely in response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Since that time, the Company has singularly focused on pioneering community-centric surveillance products and solutions capable of materially advancing and optimizing the safety, effectiveness, and positive impact of first responders.
Having raised over $26 million in growth capital through a series of private and public offerings led by Portland-based Paulson Investment Company, Inc., ICOP has carefully and methodically executed branding, corporate positioning and product development strategies that have served to affirm and support its underpinning belief: Without local security, there can be no national security. As a result, the Company has fast emerged as a globally recognized leader in the delivery of digital, in-car video recording systems for law enforcement; and, in the second quarter of 2007, plans to release a unique suite of innovative, fully integrated, live surveillance products and wireless communications solutions that will leverage its established and rapidly growing customer base in law enforcement to revolutionize how first responders react and respond to crisis situations at the local, state and federal levels.
The Companys flagship product, the ICOP Model 20/20®, is an award-winning digital in-car video recorder solution developed by ICOP for specific use in law enforcement. Routinely cited for its ease of use and installation, robust and intuitive functionality, superior audio and video quality, officer safety-conscious design, performance excellence and cost effectiveness, the ICOP Model 20/20 has been widely adopted by law enforcement agencies in 48 states, since its commercial launch in mid-2005. In February, 2006, ICOP Digital was approved as a federal GSA contractor, making the ICOP Model 20/20 readily available to federal agencies and helping to streamline contracting with a broad range of U.S. government agencies. Further, in light of the proposed new standards for digital in-car video systems published by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in August of 2006, the Company believes that the ICOP Model 20/20 is currently the only product on the market that meets virtually all of the proposed new minimum specifications. The IACP is the worlds oldest and largest nonprofit membership organization of police executives, with over 19,000 members in over 100 different countries.
Having succeeded in establishing a strong and growing foothold in the U.S. law enforcement industry representing a market for digital in-car video currently estimated at $2 billion in the U.S. alone, ICOP is now expanding its focus to execute on the next critical phase of its long term growth strategy. In furtherance of ICOPs goal of positioning itself as the provider who the worlds communities naturally turn to for the most technologically advanced, community-centric surveillance and communications solutions, ICOPs vision for the future of community security is fast winning the attention, support and collaboration of high profile industry and government leaders on a global basis.
During the second and third quarter of 2007, a number of new products will be added to ICOPS VEIL OF PROTECTION PRODUCT LINE-UP
ICOP Model 20/20-W
A key selling point for the ICOP Model 20/20-W (an enhanced version of the ICOP Model 20/20) is its ease of installation and servicing. In less than an hour, the entire unit is installed in the vehicle dashboard, replacing the radio unit (an AM/FM tuner is built into the ICOP product). Unlike competitive products, there are no parts in the trunk, under the seat or overhead a critical consideration for officer safety and space limitations within a patrol car. The ICOP Model 20/20-W provides wireless (W) upload, and is upgradeable to take advantage of higher bandwidth as technology allows.
Priced approximately 15% - 20% below competitive offerings, the rugged ICOP Model 20/20-W records using several options for video quality (1/4 VGA, full-VGA, and 4CIF) and provides maximum image quality and integrity of data (preventing unauthorized access and editing of video files). For further precision, pressing the Mark button records exact event location for easy retrieval (using built-in GPS).
Among many unique and popular system features, the ICOP Model 20/20-W system includes a wireless 900 MHz transceiver with automatic activation from a range of up to 1,000 feet; an Officer HELP button that sends an alert to dispatch detailing GPS coordinates and vehicle ID information; an automatic 60-second pre-record feature that is activated with lights, siren or wireless microphone with a range of up to 1,000 feet; 40 GB hard drive enabling up to 16 hours of recording in high-res mode; and radar, speedometer and brake connection interface.
4
The user-friendly ICOP iVAULT MMS (Video Management System) archives, searches, copies, and displays two video images simultaneously. Video footage can be readily formatted for the courtroom; converted to AVI (Windows Media Player®) and MPEG II® formats; or transferred to DVD, CD or VHS tape. This upgraded software is web-enabled, allowing files to be securely shared within precincts, among precincts, or across the nation.
ICOP Model 4000
In response to growing industry demand for a digital recorder solution suitable for school buses, (and fire or commercial trucks), ICOP will introduce to market in Q207 the ICOP Model 4000, which supports recording for up to four cameras simultaneously and surveillance of events aboard mass transit vehicles.
ICOP Guardian
Designed for deployment in schools, banks, office buildings and government facilities, the ICOP Guardian is a stationary, IP, web-enabled video recording system featuring scalable high resolution video (JPEG 2000) with adjustable frame rates; sensor integration; remote pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) and auto focus; weatherproof housing (if desired).
ICOP LIVE
In Q2 2007, ICOP will launch ICOP LIVE, ICOPs fully integrated solution for enabling live streaming of high quality video to tactical response managers and coordinators that has been captured on stationary ICOP Guardian IP cameras installed in public and commercial facilities, and on mobile ICOP Model 20/20-W systems in operation in first responder vehicles. In addition, the solution will also provide access to mission-critical documents, such as site maps, floor plans, and other relevant data (stored on the local site server), vital to first responders in responding to an incident.
ICOP LIVE enables video to live stream to and from a first responder vehicle over wireless networks (including cellular networks, mesh networks, etc.) Law enforcement can live stream video from the ICOP Model 20/20 in their vehicles to police headquarters (and to other web-enabled devices, such as smart phones, PDAs, etc.). Furthermore, a school, bank or other buildings in the community can live stream video from the ICOP Guardian camera inside of their facilities to a law enforcement vehicle or law enforcement headquarters. The video can live stream from multiple cameras simultaneously, and live stream to multiple users simultaneously, all using secure protocols. High quality images are recorded and stored on the local server for use as evidence in court.
To fully exploit the full potential and impact of ICOP LIVE, ICOP management has actively engaged in discussions and negotiations with a number of industry leading players who share ICOPs belief that without local security, there can be no national security. Currently, strategic partnering and collaborative sales opportunities are being developed with several companies who share ICOPs vision for securing our communities with state-of-the-art technology. Over the coming year, ICOP expects to announce several important strategic and tactical relationships that are sure to play a role in the future success of the Company.
ICOP remains committed to continued growth of its share of the prevailing $2 billion (U.S.) law enforcement market for in-car video through an increased number of mid- to large agency wins particularly those in key metropolitan cities across the country. Further, by leveraging its newly expanded product line to empower community leaders with the technological means to better respond to crisis situations, ICOP believes that its Veil of Protection initiative could yield profound growth for the Company and that is before factoring opportunities present in the global marketplace. In this regard, ICOP is working to establish a multi-channel sales and distribution network in select regions of the world where it believes it can achieve rapid traction as a supplier of advanced surveillance solutions, with early emphasis being focused on Australia, the Middle East and South America.
Sales and Marketing
We are currently marketing the ICOP Model 20/20 primarily to law enforcement agencies. However, ICOP has begun working on other applications for mobile video, including military, fire trucks, emergency medical technician (EMT) vehicles, school and public buses, trains, planes, border patrol vehicles and taxi cabs.
There are more than 440,000 police vehicles currently in service in the U.S., and approximately 70,000 new vehicles are leased or purchased by law enforcement agencies each year. At an average selling price of at least $5,000 for the ICOP Model 20/20 and related equipment, there is an estimated potential market of over $2 billion for law enforcement vehicles in the U.S. alone.
5
In 2004, approximately 38% of local law enforcement and 72% of state highway patrol vehicles had VHS (analog) in-car video systems. According to the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), 48% of law enforcement vehicles utilized in-car video in 2005, representing a significant increase over 2004. The vast majority of these systems are VHS, though they are gradually being replaced with digital systems. We believe that warranties on these VHS systems have expired or will soon expire, and the systems will increasingly need service and will eventually need to be replaced. The market began transitioning to digital surveillance systems in 2004.
We market the ICOP Model 20/20 directly to all levels of city, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Our marketing efforts include advertising in police magazines, direct mailings to law enforcement agencies and participation in industry trade shows, conferences and seminars. In addition to our full-time inside sales and regional sales staff, we have established a national Officer Sales Team consisting of police officers across the country who call on local police departments, typically within a 500-mile radius of their homes; these officers are part-time independent contractors. We also sell through distributors that are successful in marketing other products to the agencies we are addressing. Our sales staff works to identify professional distributors that match our company goals and then to support the distributors in their efforts to promote our products. We have begun releasing electronic press kits to television stations in communities where the ICOP Model 20/20 has been installed in order to raise awareness of the ICOP Model 20/20.
Digital in-car video systems require an experienced technical support team to respond to customer questions and to assist with their particular application. We are committed to building a talented technical support team to meet this important need. To support our sales efforts, we also produce promotional materials that include brochures, video presentations, data sheets and other technical materials along with our website to explain our product. We provide demonstration systems generally for 30- and 60-day trial periods, which affords prospective customers an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the ICOP Model 20/20 and the ICOP Video Management System.
Our sales cycle typically begins by initiating contact with a law enforcement agency or the receipt of a request for information from a prospective customer, usually through our website. After making the contact or receiving the request for information, we assess the potential customers needs, make presentations and product demonstrations at the customers place of business, present a formal proposal and negotiate a contract. The decision to purchase is typically made by a group of people including the chief of police or sheriff but may also include political decision-makers such as city council members.
Our primary focus is on development in the U.S. market and in Canada through our inside sales team and regional staff, and via the ICOP Officer Sales Team and distributors. We are also expanding into other markets abroad, such as Australia, Latin America and the Middle East, where we currently have distributors.
Competition
The law enforcement in-car video market is highly competitive. Digital in-car video is a quickly evolving technology, and the market is growing rapidly as the new technology is gaining widespread acceptance, new patrol cars are being purchased or leased and outdated analog video systems are being replaced by digital systems.
Most major in-car video manufacturers are in the process of developing, or have developed, digital video technology, and many have already introduced and sold digital units to law enforcement agencies. We believe that we have three major competitors Mobile-Vision, Inc., Kustom Signals and International Police Technologies, Inc. and many other competitors who sell or may in the future sell in-car video systems to law enforcement agencies.
In addition to their existing relationships with law enforcement agencies, many of these competitors have significant advantages over us, including greater financial, technical, marketing and manufacturing resources, preferred vendor status with our existing and potential customer base, more extensive distribution channels, larger customer bases and faster response times to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. As a result, our competitors may develop superior products or beat us to market with products similar to ours.
We believe we compete principally on the basis of:
| product performance and functionality; |
| price; |
6
| product quality and reliability; and |
| customer service and technical support. |
We believe that our innovative product design and our proprietary compression technology make the ICOP Model 20/20 superior in quality to other products. While we believe that existing wireless uploading technology needs to improve before it can be successfully used in in-car systems, some law enforcement agencies are attracted to this new technology, which we currently do not offer. We are currently designing wireless transfer capability for the ICOP Model 20/20, which should be available for sale in the near future.
The market for digital in-car video systems for police and other first responder vehicles is expected to grow rapidly over the next five years, as more cars are equipped with video surveillance and as upgrades to digital systems are made. We feel we are positioned to become a leader in this market based on what we believe to be the superiority of our innovative product and its attractive price.
Manufacturing and Suppliers
We entered into a development and manufacturing agreement dated February 10, 2005 with Tietech Co., Ltd., a Japanese company with ISO 9001 certification, pursuant to which Tietech has exclusive rights to manufacture the ICOP Model 20/20 and its successor, the ICOP Model 20/20W. The initial term of the agreement is 10 years. While Tietech assisted in the development, we maintain the intellectual property rights necessary to produce both the ICOP Model 20/20 and ICOP Model 20/20W. The manufacturer does have certain intellectual property rights to a method of operating the data compression used in the ICOP Model 20/20 and the ICOP Model 20/20W. If this method were no longer available to us, another manufacturer could produce the unit, but a partial redesign would be required and could result in a production delay.
We entered into an agreement with TriSquare Communications (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. dated February 11, 2004, pursuant to which it manufactures a 900 MHz wireless microphone system for use with the ICOP Model 20/20 and the ICOP Model 20/20W.
We entered into a license agreement, effective December 2004, with Showlei Associates, pursuant to which Showlei granted us the non-exclusive right to design, manufacture, use, sell and distribute software that decodes, reconstructs and displays video images based on Showleis proprietary technology, and agrees to sell us a supply of semiconductor chips that incorporate the proprietary technology. The initial term of the agreement is 10 years.
We also rely on several unaffiliated subcontractors to supply certain components and assemblies that are incorporated in our ICOP Model 20/20 and ICOP Model 20/20W. We acquire our components on a purchase order basis and do not have long-term contracts with suppliers.
We have entered into agreements with other manufacturers on an as needed basis to produce new and additional products. We do not have long-term commitments with these suppliers.
Research and Development
Research and development costs charged to expense were approximately $903,000 in 2006 and $796,000 in 2005. No research and development expense has been capitalized.
Inventory Systems
Inventory warehousing and shipping are managed from our Lenexa, Kansas facility. We use standard warehousing systems to store, retrieve, monitor and manage our inventory.
Intellectual Property
We have filed U.S. patent applications covering aspects of the design and methods of operating the ICOP Model 20/20 and additional new products and applications. Among other things, the claims, as currently drafted, generally describe the use of a digital recording device in an integrated and synchronized surveillance system able to record data from cameras, microphones and global positioning system equipment, with the recording media housed in a driver accessible console opening originally manufactured into the vehicle, such as a car radio slot. The claims also are drafted to cover particular features and capabilities of the ICOP Model 20/20, such as the systems in-dash recorder, back-end searchable
7
database and event marking capability. We also have secured registered trademarks for ICOP, ICOP Digital and the stylistic use of our logo. We intend to continue to seek formal intellectual property protections to protect our technologies, processes and designs. We also use confidentiality agreements with employees and key suppliers to ensure the confidentiality of our trade secrets.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, we had 41 full-time employees including seven in management and administration, fifteen in sales and marketing, nine in engineering, six in technical support and four in research and development. In addition we have approximately ten independent contractors working in research and development.
Company History
We were formed in Colorado as Bail Corporation in April 1998 with the purpose of acquiring or merging with a privately owned company. In March 2001, we began to engage in the oil and gas business and changed our name to Vista Exploration Corporation. We leased oil and gas properties in Southeast Kansas to drill for coal bed methane gas, but due to a lack of funding in March 2003, we returned to our original plan of seeking a merger with, or an acquisition of, an operating business that wanted to become a public company. In January 2004, ICOP Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (ICOP Nevada), merged with and into our wholly owned subsidiary. ICOP Nevada commenced operations in May 2002 for the purpose of engaging in the design, development and marketing of an in-car digital video recorder for use in the law enforcement industry. As a result of the merger, our principal business became that of ICOP Nevada. In November 2004, we changed our name to ICOP Digital, Inc.; and in March 2005, we completed a 10 shares for 1 share reverse split of our common and preferred stock. In June 2005, ICOP Nevada was merged into the Colorado corporation and ceased to exist.
Item 2. | Description of Property. |
Our offices are located in approximately 12,800 square feet of leased office and warehouse space in Lenexa, Kansas. Our lease is for five years through June 30, 2010 at a cost of $15,000 per month plus taxes, common area charges and insurance. Beginning in May 2007, we will lease an additional 4,600 square feet of office and warehouse space in Olathe, Kansas through June 30, 2010 at a cost of $3,258 per month plus taxes, common area charges and insurance.

2002 Stock Option Plan
In June 2002, the Board of Directors and stockholders of ICOP Nevada approved that companys 2002 Stock Option Plan (the 2002 Plan). The plan authorized the grant and issuance of options, restricted shares and other equity compensation to directors, employees, officers and consultants of ICOP Nevada. Initially, 500,000 shares of ICOP Nevada common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2002 Plan; however, the number of shares reserved automatically increases on each anniversary of the 2002 Plan by an amount equal to 0.5% of the then issued and outstanding shares of ICOP Nevada common stock. When we acquired ICOP Nevada in January 2004, any rights to acquire ICOP Nevada common stock under the 2002 Plan were converted so as to permit acquisition of our common stock instead. Notwithstanding these automatic increases, the 2002 Plan requires that no more than 300,000 shares be issued in connection with the exercise of incentive stock options under the 2002 Plan. On November 20, 2005 and August 10, 2006, our Board of Directors and stockholders, respectively, approved an increase to the number of shares of common stock reserved under the 2002 Plan from 552,041 to 1,500,000 shares.
The 2002 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2002 Plan, the Committee determines who will receive the options, the number of options granted, the manner of exercise and the exercise price of the options. The term of incentive stock options granted under the 2002 Plan may not exceed ten years, or five years for options granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of our voting stock. The exercise
9
price of an incentive stock option granted under the 2002 Plan must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of a non-qualified option granted under the 2002 Plan must be equal to or greater than 85% of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date the option is granted, although we expect that the exercise price of future grants will be set at or above fair market value. An incentive stock option granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an exercise price equal to or greater than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is granted. We also have granted shares of restricted stock to certain of our executive officers under the 2002 Plan. Vesting of these shares is dependent upon the company meeting certain revenue and income milestones.
As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase 822,500 shares of common stock and restricted stock grants of 400,000 shares of common stock remained outstanding and 277,500 shares remain available for future grants.
2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In November 2005, the Board of Directors approved the companys 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2005 ESPP). The plan authorizes the eligible employees to subscribe for the periodic purchase of the companys common stock through payroll deductions. The purchases occur during defined purchase periods, and the purchase price generally is 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or last dates of a purchase period, whichever is lower. Eligible employees are those who work for us for more than 20 hours a week, whose customary employment is for more than five months in a calendar year, and whose stock ownership in ICOP will not equal or exceed 5% of the voting power or value of all classes of our stock as a result of purchases under the 2005 ESPP.
The 2005 ESPP is administered by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2006, 1,300 shares had been sold under the 2005 ESPP leaving 198,700 available for future sale to employees.

Item 6. | Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. |
The first sales of our ICOP Model 20/20 occurred in December 2004, and we initiated a national roll-out of the ICOP Model 20/20 in June 2005. We exited the development stage in June 2005 when we recorded substantial sales of the ICOP Model 20/20. We recorded approximately $1,760,000 in revenue and $709,000 in gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2005. We recorded approximately $6,621,000 in revenue and $2,801,000 in gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2006. Our operating loss for 2006 was increased to $3,638,000 from $2,816,000 in 2005 as we significantly increased our sales and marketing activities in 2006, which materially increased our revenue. Our net loss of $3,518,000 in 2006 was higher than the $2,898,000 loss in 2005 primarily because of the increased sales and marketing activities in 2006. Through 2007, we plan to continue to expand our sales, marketing, product promotion and development activities to leverage what we believe to be our advantages in technology and pricing using the net proceeds of the offering completed in October and November 2006.
In July 2005, we completed an underwritten public offering of units of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock that provided gross proceeds of approximately $12 million. In December 2005, we completed a private offering of units of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock that provided additional gross proceeds of approximately $4 million. In October and November 2006, we completed an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock that provided gross proceeds of approximately $5 million.
We entered into a manufacturing agreement in February 2005 with a Japanese company to produce at least 10,000 ICOP Model 20/20 units through December 31, 2008. Through December 31, 2006 , we ordered and received 2,500 units from this manufacturer. Under this agreement, the manufacturer is responsible for purchasing the components and manufacturing the units, and we are required to deliver letters of credit when we place the purchase order. We have expanded our sales staff and are currently marketing the ICOP Model 20/20 to law enforcement agencies. We have sold the ICOP Model 20/20 to over 160 law enforcement agencies in 48 states as of December 31, 2006.
Through 2007, we expect to spend approximately $1,500,000 on research and development of new products described elsewhere in this report. We do not expect major additional purchases of plant and equipment during that period due to our contract manufacturing arrangements. We will be supplementing the expanded facilities we moved into in June 2005 by renting additional warehouse and office space to allow the adequate expansion of engineering, sales, technical support and shipping activities that we plan for the near future.
10
We do not plan to increase our administrative staff substantially in the near term, since the manufacturing of the ICOP Model 20/20 is handled by a third party. We increased our sales staff in the first half of 2006 and may further increase our sales and marketing staff, engineering and tech support staff as the need arises.
The timing of additional activities and the development of other markets and products depend on the speed with which we penetrate the law enforcement and other first responder markets. Additionally, while it is not likely, we may consider manufacturing our own products once the process is substantially automated and if we determine that we can do so cost effectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses for the period reported. Estimates are based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are evaluated periodically and form the basis for making judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.
The Companys critical accounting policies are those that it believes are the most important in determining its financial condition and results, and requires significant subjective judgment by management. A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed below, is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. No costs are deferred since the requirements that a product under development be clearly defined, have identifiable costs, be technically feasible, and have a clearly defined market or use, are not objectively assured. If the costs associated with the project were deferred, any deferred costs would be recovered as charges against earnings in future periods.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company outsourced certain research and development to a Japanese firm and purchases a majority of its inventory from this firm. Services and products were billed to us in the local currency. Liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Costs and expenses are translated into US dollars at the date of the transaction or at average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as other income (loss).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the operating leases under which we hold our office and warehouse facilities. These arrangements provide approximately 17,000 square feet of office and warehouse space at a cost of approximately $25,000 per month through June 2010. These facilities are used for administrative, marketing, engineering and shipping and warehousing activities and could be terminated only by our default on the lease arrangement or the physical destruction of the facilities.
Equity-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 123R, Share-Based Payment. It addresses transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions include stock options. This Statement was effective for us beginning on January 1, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for employee services in share-based payment transactions under the intrinsic method. Under the intrinsic method, if the stock option is at-the-money or out-of-the-money, no expense is recorded. Since January 1, 2006, we have applied the fair value method. Under the fair value method, stock options are expensed. Statement 123R will apply to stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006 only if a previous award was modified, repurchased or cancelled after December 31, 2005.

Results of Operations
The first sales of our ICOP Model 20/20 occurred in December 2004, and we initiated a national roll-out of the ICOP Model 20/20 in June 2005. We exited the development stage in June 2005 when we recorded substantial sales of the ICOP Model 20/20. We recorded approximately $1,760,000 in revenue and $709,000 in gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2005. We recorded approximately $6,621,000 in revenue and $2,801,000 in gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2006. Our operating loss for 2006 was increased to $3,638,000 from $2,816,000 in 2005 as we significantly increased our sales and marketing activities in 2006, which materially increased our revenue. Our net loss of $3,518,000 in 2006 was higher than the $2,898,000 loss in 2005 primarily because of the increased sales and marketing activities in 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 31, 2006, we had $7,675,000 in cash, $2,234,000 in accounts receivable, $3,083,000 in inventory and a total of $739,000 in current liabilities, for a total working capital of $12,375,000. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $3,623,000, primarily to purchase long lead time inventory, eliminate engineering liabilities and fund increased accounts receivable, compared to cash used in operating activities of $8,045,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $492,000, primarily to acquire equipment for sales and engineering activities, compared to net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $544,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,612,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from proceeds of a secondary stock and warrant offering, proceeds received upon exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and from installment loans to purchase equipment, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $13,765,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily from the secondary offerings that were completed in July 2005 and December 2005. At December 31, 2006, we also had available a $2,500,000 bank line of credit, secured by accounts receivable, inventory contract rights and general intangibles.
In July 2005, we completed an underwritten public offering of units of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock that provided net proceeds of the offering of approximately $10,700,000. In December 2005, we completed a private offering of units of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock that provided additional net proceeds of approximately $3,500,000. In October 2006, we completed an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock that provided gross proceeds of approximately $5 million. We anticipate that our current resources and our present level of personnel will be adequate to sustain our operations in the coming 12 months. The recent offering should allow us to accelerate expansion of our business.

Domestically, his work focuses on programs and procurements in the homeland security arena, while his international efforts concentrate on such areas as Iraqi and Afghanistan reconstruction programs. Once an opportunity is identified, Col.

Each director receives cash compensation in the form of board and committee meeting fees. In addition, each director received compensation valued at $7,000 in 2006 as a result of the cancellation and reissuance of existing options at an exercise price of $5.85 per share. Mr Ross resigned his board membership effective August 9, 2006 and holds options to purchase 7,500 common shares. The remaining directors each received options for an additional 7,500 shares in 2006, valued at $19,000, as additional compensation.

In the future, we plan to grant to each of our non-employee directors option or share compensation at each annual meeting of stockholders at which the director is re-elected or continues to serve as a director for the ensuing year. Non-employee directors also receive $500 for each quarterly Board meeting attended in person, together with reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend the meeting and $250 for each Board meeting attended telephonically.

Item 12. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. |
Transactions Involving Shareholders
Paulson Investment Company, Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the December 2005 and October 2006 offerings, is a greater than 5% stockholder. Paulson acted as the placement agent in a private placement of 650,000 shares of common stock and 227,500 warrants in December 2005, pursuant to which Paulson received cash commission of approximately $308,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 65,000 shares of common stock and 22,750 warrants (each warrant to purchase one share of common stock) with an exercise price of $5.92 per one share and 0.35 warrants. In connection with the October 2006 offering of 1,150,000 common shares and 1,150,000 common share warrants, Paulson received as compensation a 10% underwriting discount on the shares and warrants sold by it. In addition, Paulson received a non-accountable expense allowance of approximately $160,000 from the sale of the shares and warrants.
Each of the aforementioned transactions with related parties was approved or ratified by a majority of our independent directors who did not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to the companys or independent legal counsel.
Future Transactions
Future transactions with our officers, directors or greater than five percent stockholders will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent third parties, and all such transactions will be reviewed and subject to approval by our Audit Committee.
Director Independence
Three members on our board of directors, Derrick Ashcroft, Noel Koch and Roger Mason are independent in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. These independent directors also serve as members of our nominating, compensation and audit committees. Mr. Ashcroft chairs the audit committee. Mr. Mason chairs the nominating committee.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ICOP Digital, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Operations
ICOP Digital, Inc. engineers, produces and markets state-of-the-art mobile and stationary surveillance solutions (including hardware, software and services) to equip first responders in protecting their communities with both live video and recorded high-quality digital evidence. Its offices are located in Lenexa, Kansas.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income and Loss
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Other comprehensive gain and loss, which currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown as a component of shareholders equity.
Following is an analysis of the change in cumulative translation adjustment:

There have been no material foreign currency translation rate changes since December 31, 2006.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2006, cash equivalents totaled $5,345,420.

ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers (primarily law enforcement agencies) located in the US and abroad. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2006, management had established an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $65,000.
Inventory
Inventory, which consists primarily of digital cameras and related hardware and accessories, is stated at the lower of cost or market, with costs determined using the first-in first-out method. The Company conducts a physical inventory annually and routinely reviews the inventory for any impairment either because of technical obsolescence or because the inventory exceeds by a material amount the forecasts for Company sales. The Company records a provision for obsolete or excess inventory whenever impairment has been identified. At December 31, 2006, inventory included pre-purchased components with a cost of $174,867 that are held by our contract manufacturer in Japan.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consist primarily of pre-payments of insurance, rent, maintenance and trade deposits which will be reflected as an expense during the future periods benefited.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from two to seven years. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments and are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The recoverability of property and equipment is evaluated whenever indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. No impairment charges have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. They assess these assets for impairment based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from these assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, a loss is recorded for the excess of the assets carrying value over the fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss for long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Recognition of Revenue and Costs of Services
Revenues consist of the sales of electronic equipment, accessories and labor. Billings are rendered as the goods are shipped and recognized at the time of shipment. Direct costs of services include compensation, related payroll taxes, benefits and workers compensation insurance, and outsourcing costs. Costs of services are recognized at the time of shipment.
Revenue is recognized upon shipment, if the contract shipping term is FOB shipping point, and upon delivery, if the contract shipping term is FOB destination, provided there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, there are no significant vendor obligations, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
F-9
ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cost incurred for shipping and handling is included in cost of revenues at the time the related revenue is recognized. Amounts billed to a customer for shipping and handling are reported as revenue.
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, establishes criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis. The Company is the primary obligor in its transactions, has responsibility for fulfillment, including the acceptability of services ordered and purchased by customers. In addition, the Company has all credit risk, retains substantially all risk and rewards of the products sold. Accordingly, the Company records all transactions at the gross revenue amount billed, consistent with the provisions of EITF 99-19.
Unearned Revenue
Amounts billed for extended warranties sold to customers are deferred and amortized to revenue over the effective term of the agreements. Generally the extended warranty agreement becomes effective at the end of the one-year warranty provided with the sale of equipment. The initial one-year warranty period is supported by our equipment manufacturers. No significant revenue has been reported to date from sale of extended warranties.
Advertising Expenses
All advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for 2006 and 2005 were $257,000 and $122,000, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Deferred patent application cost
Legal expenses incurred in preparation of patent application have been deferred and will be amortized over the useful life of granted patents. Costs incurred in preparation of applications that are not granted will be charged to expense at that time.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Statement No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Foreign Currency
The Company outsourced certain research and development to a Japanese firm and purchases significant amounts of product from this Japanese firm. Services and products were billed to the Company in the local currency. Liabilities in foreign currencies and cash held in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Costs and expenses are translated into United States dollars at average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as other income.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss for all periods presented resulted from foreign currency translation gains and losses.

ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Share-based Payment Arrangements
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-based payment, which requires that compensation related to all stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted common stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated grant-date fair value. The Company previously recorded stock compensation pursuant to the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, whereby compensation was recorded related to performance share and unrestricted share awards and no compensation was recognized for most stock option awards. The Company is using the modified prospective application method of adopting SFAS No. 123R, whereby the estimated fair value of unvested stock awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will be recognized as compensation expense in periods subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the same valuation method used in our prior pro forma disclosures. The Company has estimated expected forfeitures, as required by SFAS No. 123R, and is recognizing compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest. Compensation expense is amortized over the estimated service period, which is the shorter of the awards time vesting period or the derived service period as implied by any accelerated vesting provisions when the common stock price reaches specified levels. All compensation must be recognized by the time the award vests. The cumulative effect of initially adopting SFAS No. 123R was immaterial.
Loss per Common Share
SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. At December 31, 2006, the Company has options and warrants outstanding that could be exercised representing a total of 6,302,750 additional shares. All have been excluded from the weighted average share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was calculated based upon post-split shares for all periods presented.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivable. Cash and restricted cash are deposited with high quality financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures up to $100,000 of deposits maintained at any one financial institution. On December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $7,275,000 in excess of insured levels, based upon bank records, at four different financial institutions. Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned primarily from municipal law enforcement agencies located in the U.S. The Company generally does not require collateral from the law enforcement agencies.
The Company purchased from our Japanese contract manufacturer approximately 73% and 76% of inventory during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and anticipates that approximately 50% of inventory will be purchased from this supplier in the coming year. The Companys product line to date has been concentrated in one product; the ICOP Model 20/20 Digital Video Recording System, all of which have been purchased from this one supplier. If required, an alternate supplier would not be immediately available. Additional products are being developed and the product line will expand in 2007.
The Company sold substantially all of its products to law enforcement agencies in the US and abroad or to distributors selling to law enforcement agencies. Accordingly, substantially all accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 are concentrated in the law enforcement industry.
F-11
ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company is continually exposed to risks of future material loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, expropriation of, or destruction of assets; business interruption; errors or omissions; injuries to employees; or acts of God. Management has made no estimate of the actual and potential effects of losses from such risks on the Companys historical or planned operations, including exposure to losses from claims, curtailment of research and development or manufacturing, or contraction or cessation of other activities, such as discontinuance of its product line.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has determined, based on available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, the fair values of its financial instruments approximate carrying values. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables, and other current liabilities at December 31, 2006 approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
New Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). The adoption of SFAS 151 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement amends SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. The adoption of SFAS No. 152 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Since the issuance of SFAS 123(R), three FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) have been issued regarding SFAS 123(R): FSP FAS 123(R)-1Classification and Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under FASB Statement No. 123(R), FSP FAS 123(R)-2Practical Accommodation to the Application of Grant Date as Defined in FASB Statement No. 123(R), and FSP FAS 123(R)-3Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. These FSPs will be applicable upon the initial adoption of FAS 123(R). The effect of SFAS 123(R) is more fully described in Note 6.
SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement addresses the measurement of exchange of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair-value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
FIN No. 46(R) revised FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, requiring the consolidation by a business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary. The adoption of FIN No. 46 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN 47 specifies the accounting treatment for conditional asset retirement obligations under the provisions of SFAS 143. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. Implementation of FIN 47 had no impact on our financial statements.
F-12
ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of SFAS 154 will depend on the nature and extent of any voluntary accounting changes and correction of errors after the effective date, but the Company does not currently expect SFAS 154 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-10, Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds. EITF Issue 04-10 confirmed that operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of SFAS 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The consensus in this issue should be applied for fiscal years ending after September 30, 2005, and the corresponding information for earlier periods, including interim periods, should be restated unless it is impractical to do so. The adoption of EITF Issue 04-10 did not have a material impact on our disclosures.
In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. EITF Issue 04-13 requires that purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty in the same line of business should be accounted for as a single non-monetary exchange, if entered into in contemplation of one another. The consensus is effective for inventory arrangements entered into, modified or renewed in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF Issue 04-13 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 155), which amends FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument containing an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, and broadens a Qualified Special Purpose Entitys permitted holdings to include passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to other derivative financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 155 has no current applicability to the Companys financial statements. Management plans to adopt SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007 and it is anticipated that the initial adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the our financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes where interpretation of the law is uncertain. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of income tax uncertainties with respect to positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and has no current applicability to the Companys financial statements. Management plans to adopt FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and it is anticipated that the initial adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157.
F-13
ICOP DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In September 2006, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings and disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. SAB No. 108 will be effective beginning January 1, 2007 and it is anticipated that the initial adoption of SAB No. 108 will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 addresses how companies should measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159.
Note 2: Related Party Transactions
Notes and loans payable to related parties consisted of unsecured advances made to the Company under promissory note agreements for working capital purposes and accrued interest at rates from 8 to 10 percent per annum thereon. During the year ended December 31, 2005, a shareholder advanced $300,000 to the Company as a demand note that accrued interest at approximately 8% per annum. The Company recorded interest expense of $13,447 on the notes for the year ended December 31, 2005. All notes and loans from shareholders were repaid in 2005.
Note 3: Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2006:

Depreciation expense was $238,063 and $85,099 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Note 4: Debt
In March 2005, the Company completed the sale of $2,200,000 in secured promissory notes and related common stock warrants. These notes were sold to accredited investors and were repaid when the public offering was completed in July 2005 along with accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The fair value of the included warrants, calculated using the Black Scholes Model to be $470,000, was recorded as a discount to the notes and a contribution to capital and was subsequently charged to debt issue expense.

At December 31, 2006, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $4,872,000 due to operating loss carryforwards of $13,075,000, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $4,872,000. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The changes in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,336,000. Net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2026. The value of these carryforwards depends on the ability of the company to generate taxable income.
At December 31, 2005, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $3,536,000 due to operating loss carryforwards of $9,557,000, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $3,536,000. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The changes in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $993,000.
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized. At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.
Should the Company undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Companys tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of those losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stock Issued for Consideration Other than Cash
Stock Option Plan
The Company established a Stock Option Plan (the Plan) in 2002 to attract and retain directors, officers, key employees and consultants. The plan permits the Board of Directors to grant options to purchase common stock; restricted stock awards, cash, shares of common stock or any combination. In August 2006, the plan was amended to increase the number of shares available under this plan to 1,500,000. At December 31, 2006, 277,500 shares remain available to be issued under this plan.
Under SFAS 123R, the Companys stock options are categorized as equity awards. Accordingly, compensation expense for options is measured based on the grant date fair value and is amortized into earnings over the service period as the options vest. The fair value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The options have a maximum term of ten years and may, at the discretion of the Company, be exercised using cashless exercise.
Award of Restricted Common Stock for Services
In May 2006, the board of directors granted a total of 400,000 shares of restricted common stock to two executive officers in recognition of their importance to the achievement of certain milestones and to the future of the company. The shares have been issued to the officers but are restricted from sale by the officers. Restrictions on 50% of the shares lapse when the company reaches a total of $15 million gross revenue from inception and restrictions on the remaining 50% of the shares lapse when the company reaches positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for three consecutive months. The grant further provides that the officers will receive a supplemental bonus in an amount equal to the income tax liability incurred by the officers at the time the restrictions lapse. The company valued these restricted shares at the market value on May 4, 2006 of $5.85 per share for a total of $2,340,000. Progress toward the gross revenue target is measurable, but progress toward the positive earnings target is uncertain. Accordingly, the value of the shares related to the gross revenue target will be reported as compensation expense and added to paid-in capital ratably as revenue accumulates to the $15 million target. A total of $539,000 has been recognized as compensation expense at December 31, 2006. Any portion of the value that has not been recognized at the time the target is achieved will be recognized at that time. The value of the shares related to the positive earnings target will be recognized when that target is achieved.
