DIGITAL BIOMETRICS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Digital Biometrics, Inc., (the Company) was incorporated in Minnesota
in May, 1985 and reincorporated in Delaware in December, 1986. The Company is a
developer, manufacturer and marketer of identification products based on
electro-optical imaging technologies. The Company's principal product, the
TENPRINTER(R) system is a computer-based, inkless "live-scan" fingerprint system
that electronically reads a fingerprint and creates a digital image, which can
then either be printed on an attached printer or transmitted electronically to a
central printing or storage site. The TENPRINTER system is designed for use by,
and is being actively marketed to, law enforcement agencies and other
organizations requiring a high resolution fingerprint image for identification
cards or similar applications.
The Company's performance in any one quarter is not necessarily
indicative of sales trends or future performance. The nature of the law
enforcement market and the government procurement process are expected to
continue to produce an irregular and unpredictable revenue cycle for the
Company.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further
information, refer to financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.
(2) ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVENTORY
Inventory is valued at standard cost which approximates the lower of
first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities consist primarily of collateralized mortgage
backed securities. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses are determined
on the specific identification cost basis (see note 3). Unrealized gains and
losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized
losses on sales of marketable securities are reported as a reduction in interest
income. There were no realized losses on sales of marketable securities for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 or 1995.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives, generally 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
estimated useful life of the asset or lease term whichever is shorter.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS AND LICENSES
Costs associated with patents, trademarks and copyrights are
capitalized and amortized over sixty months or the remaining life of the patent,
trademark or copyright, whichever is shorter. The cost of software licenses
related to purchased software are capitalized and amortized over thirty-six
months or the life of the license, whichever is shorter. Management periodically
assesses the amortization period and recoverability of the carrying amount of
intangible assets based upon an estimation of their value and future benefits of
the recorded asset. Management has concluded that the carrying amount of the
intangible assets is realizable.
WARRANTY COSTS
Estimated product warranty costs are accrued at date of shipment.
Accrued warranty costs at March 31, 1996 were $54,000 compared with $58,000 at
September 30, 1995.
REVENUE AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's identification system sales include the delivery of
integrated hardware and software. Revenues from system sales are generally
recognized on the date of shipment. The Company's standard terms of sale are
payment due net in thirty days, f.o.b. Digital Biometrics, Inc. Terms of sale
and shipment for certain procurements by municipal or other government agencies
may, however, be subject to negotiation. In cases where the Company is required
to purchase a performance bond or to deposit collateral in accordance with the
terms of a contract, the Company's policy is to defer revenues under such
contracts until the amount shipped exceeds the amount of the performance
collateral or until the security is released by the bonding company. Maintenance
revenues are recognized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis.
Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company's performance for any period is not necessarily indicative
of sales trends or future performance. The nature of the law enforcement market
and the government procurement process are expected to continue to produce an
irregular and unpredictable revenue cycle for the Company.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company extends credit to state and local governments in connection
with sales of products to law enforcement agencies. Approximately 54% of
customer accounts receivable at March 31, 1996 were from government agencies, of
which 62% was from a single customer. Approximately 46% of customer accounts
receivable at March 31, 1996 were from non-government agencies, of which 81% was
from a single customer.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, sales to two customers
accounted for 21% and 10% of total sales. Sales to two customers during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1995 accounted for 47% and 13% of period
total sales. For the six-month period ended March 31, 1996, sales to two
customers accounted for 33% and 10% of total sales. Sales to one customer during
the six-month period ended March 31, 1995 accounted for 39% of period total
sales. Export sales were 18% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 and
1% for the same period in 1995. Export sales were 32% for the six-month period
ended March 31, 1996 and 2% for the same period in 1995.
ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENTS
Engineering and development costs are expensed as incurred. Engineering
and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 are net
of reimbursements of $98,000 from a company with which there is a teaming
agreement on an international development project. Engineering and development
expenses for the six-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are net of
reimbursements of $462,000 and $435,000, respectively.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments and certificates of deposit purchased with an
original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents include primarily U.S. Government money market funds and A-1, P-1
rated commercial paper.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

1996 1995
---------- ----------
Cash paid during the period for interest $9,866 $10,008
========== ==========
For supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing
activities see notes 7 and 8.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is determined by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share
equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents have been excluded from the
computation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement
carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
(3) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Investments in marketable securities have maturities ranging from 2005
to 2016. The unrealized loss for available-for-sale marketable securities is as
follows.

Certain of the Company's components used in the manufacture of its
TENPRINTER system are currently supplied by a single vendor. Secondary sourcing
is not expected to be available for the next several months. Delays in product
deliveries to customers may occur should the supplier be unable to deliver the
components.
(5) LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a $200,000 line of credit with First Bank Minneapolis,
secured by cash deposits. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime
rate (8.25% on March 31, 1996), is payable upon demand and expires in March
1997. There were no amounts borrowed under the line at March 31, 1996.
The Company has a $4,000,000 line of credit with Norwest Bank Minnesota
N.A. Borrowings under this line of credit are secured by marketable securities
and are limited to the amount of marketable securities held as collateral by the
bank. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% on March
31, 1996), is payable upon demand and expires in May 1996. There were no amounts
borrowed under the line at March 31, 1996.

------------ -------------
$999,634 $1,044,745
============ =============
(7) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On September 29, 1995, the Company completed a private placement to
offshore accredited investors of $10,900,000 of 8% Convertible Debentures due
September 29, 1998 (the "Debentures"). Net proceeds to the Company after
placement fees but before legal and other expenses were $10,109,750. The
Debentures are convertible one third after 45 days, one third after 75 days and
one third after 105 days at the option of the Debenture holder. The Company has
the right to redeem the debentures prior to conversion. The conversion price is
equal to the lesser of $7.00 per common share or 85% of the average trading
price for any five consecutive trading days before conversion. This beneficial
conversion feature has an intrinsic value of $1,924,000 which has been recorded
as a charge to interest expense. The intrinsic value of the beneficial
conversion feature is to be allocated to additional paid-in capital with the
resulting discount on the debt resulting in a non-cash interest expense charge
to earnings (loss) over the conversion period. Interest accrued on the
Debentures is payable in common stock at the time of conversion at the
conversion price as described above. In addition to a cash placement fee, a
warrant to purchase 112,893 shares of the Company's common stock at $8.40 per
share was granted to the placement agent for this offering. The warrant was
valued at $112,893, which is reflected as a discount on the Debentures and is
being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Debentures. Net
proceeds to the Company are being used for working capital, product development
and other general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 1996, the Company has issued 1,348,769 shares of common
stock for the conversion of principal aggregating $4,400,000 of the 8%
Convertible Debentures plus $122,000 of accrued interest at an average
conversion price of $3.35 per share.
(8) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Effective March 31, 1996, the Company issued 16,831 shares of common
stock to satisfy the Company's discretionary matching to employees electing
participation in the Company's 401(k) retirement plan. This issuance increased
common stock and additional paid-in capital by $94,674 and resulted in
compensation expense of the same amount.
Effective with their election at the annual stockholders' meeting held
on February 21, 1996, the Company granted 17,456 shares of restricted common
stock to its non-employee directors. The grant resulted in $72,000 in additional
common stock issued and an equal amount of deferred compensation expense which
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year restricted
period.
(9) LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases its primary office and production facility under an
operating lease that expires in April, 2001. Annual base rent under the lease
agreement is approximately $400,000, including a pro rata share for property
taxes, maintenance and other operating expenses. The Company leases a separate
sales and service office in Los Angeles, California under an operating lease
that expires in August, 1996 and a sales office in Washington, D.C. on a
year-to-year lease arrangement. Rent expense for the six months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995 was $165,000 and $164,000, respectively.
(10) LITIGATION
On June 1, 1995, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement
against Identix, Inc., of Sunnyvale, California, in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that
Identix has willfully and deliberately infringed a Company patent through the
manufacture, use and/or sale of competing products. The complaint seeks, among
other things, an injunction prohibiting further infringement as well as
unspecified monetary damages. Identix has responded to the complaint alleging,
among other purported defenses, non-infringement and patent invalidity. This
lawsuit is in its discovery stage and any specific outcome is not yet
determinable.
There are no material lawsuits pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened against the Company.
(11) RESTATEMENT
On March 28, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff
announced its position on the accounting treatment for the issuance of
convertible debt securities with beneficial conversion features such as that
contained in the Company's convertible debentures issued in September 1995. The
SEC staff's announcement requires retroactive determination using the
intrinsic-value method of the beneficial conversion feature. The intrinsic value
of the beneficial conversion feature is to be allocated to additional paid-in
capital with the resulting discount on the debt resulting in a non-cash interest
expense charge to earnings (loss) over the conversion period.
As a result of this SEC announcement, the Company is restating its
results for the six-month period ended March 31, 1996 to reflect the
in-the-money beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debentures which
were issued by the Company in September 1995. An additional charge of $1,923,529
has been recorded for the six-month period ended March 31, 1996 for the
in-the-money beneficial conversion feature which vested during the first quarter
of fiscal 1996. As a result, interest expense, net loss and net loss per share
for the six-month period ended March 31, 1996 were restated from $552,359,
$3,354,018 and $0.41 to $2,475,888, $5,277,547 and $0.65, respectively. This
restatement had no effect on cash flows or total stockholders' equity.
DIGITAL BIOMETRICS, INC.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company develops, manufactures, assembles and markets
identification systems based on electro-optical imaging technologies. Most of
the Company's sales have been to state and local law enforcement agencies. To
date, the Company's sales have consisted primarily of TENPRINTER systems and
related peripheral equipment and software.
The nature of the law enforcement market and the government procurement
process is subject to budgetary, economic and political considerations which may
vary significantly from state to state and among different agencies. These
market characteristics, along with the recent and continuing development of the
live-scan electronic fingerprint industry, have resulted in and are expected to
continue to result in an irregular revenue cycle for the Company and any
prediction of future trends is inherently difficult. The Company believes,
however, that its principal product line, which is designed to be sold to law
enforcement agencies, is a leader in its marketplace. To the extent that funds
become available to such customers for procurement purposes, the Company should
benefit from the continuing development of this market.
The Company generally recognizes product sales on the date of shipment.
The Company's standard terms of sale are payment due net in 30 days, f.o.b. the
Company. Terms of sale and shipment for certain procurements by municipal or
other government agencies may, however, be subject to negotiation. In cases
where the Company is required to purchase a performance bond or to deposit
collateral in accordance with the terms of a contract, the Company's policy is
to defer recognition of revenues from such contracts until the amount shipped
exceeds the amount of the performance collateral or until the security is
released by the bonding company. Maintenance revenues are recognized over the
life of the contract on a straight-line basis. Maintenance costs are expensed as
incurred.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
Total sales were $1,259,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared with $2,665,000 for the same period in 1995. Identification system
product sales were $885,000 in 1996 compared with $2,350,000 in 1995, a decrease
of 62%. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the number of
TENPRINTER systems sold from 20 during the three-month period in the prior-year
to 8 during the current-year period. The decrease in units sold is directly
related to a transition during the quarter to a new generation "S Series"
TENPRINTER system and a decision by management to delay deliveries of the new
system to the last half of the current fiscal year.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, sales to two customers
accounted for approximately 21% and 10% of total sales. Sales to two customers
during the three months ended March 31, 1995 accounted for approximately 47% and
13% of total sales.
Product maintenance and service revenues were $374,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared with $314,000 for the same period in 1995.
This increase is due primarily to a larger installed base of TENPRINTER systems.
Overall gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
19% as compared with 44% of sales for the same period in 1995. Gross margins on
identification system sales were 42% in 1996 compared with 53% in 1995. This
decrease was due primarily to higher manufacturing costs per TENPRINTER system
produced. The higher cost per unit was due primarily to decreased economies of
scale from the decreased number of systems manufactured and sold during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1996.
Product maintenance and service margins for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 were -37% and -30% of maintenance and support revenues,
respectively. The increased costs of product maintenance and support are due
primarily to building of base field service operations to accommodate
maintenance of TENPRINTER systems now located in 37 states.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 31,
1996 were 39% of total sales compared to 22% for the same three-month period in
1995. This increase is due primarily to the lower sales level and international
marketing efforts. Engineering and development expenses were 94% of total sales
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to 19% for the same
period a year ago. The 1996 increase is due primarily to the lower sales level
and new product development efforts. Engineering and development expenses for
the three-month period ending March 31, 1995 is net of reimbursements of $98,000
related to an international development project. General and administrative
expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 were 39% of total sales
compared to 13% for the same period in 1995. This increase is due primarily to
the lower sales level and increased legal expenses related to the patent
infringement lawsuit.
Interest income increased to $169,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 from $97,000 for the same period in 1995, primarily due to cash
received from the private placement of 8% convertible debentures issued on
September 29, 1995.
Interest expense increased to $244,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 from $8,000 for the same period in 1995, primarily due to accrued
interest expense on the 8% convertible debentures issued on September 29, 1995.
The Company incurred a net loss for the three-month period ended March
31, 1996 of $2,164,000 ($0.26 per share) as compared with $308,000 ($0.04 per
share) for the same period in 1995.
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
Total sales were $3,778,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared with $5,004,000 for the same period in 1995. Identification system
product sales were $3,054,000 compared with $4,424,000 in 1995. The number of
TENPRINTER systems sold during the six months ended March 31, 1996 were 40,
compared to 51 in the prior-year period. Included in the 1996 sales were
$1,178,000 for 12 systems and system add-ons sold to an international customer.
For the six-month period ended March 31, 1996, sales to two customers
accounted for approximately 33% and 10% of total sales. Sales to one customer
during the six months ended March 31, 1995 accounted for approximately 39% of
total sales.
Product maintenance and service revenues were $724,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1996 compared with $579,000 for the same period in 1995.
This increase is due primarily to a larger installed base of TENPRINTER systems.
Overall gross margins for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were 36%
as compared with 43% of sales for the same period in 1995. Gross margins on
identification system sales were 51% in 1996 compared with 52% in 1995. This
decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the number of TENPRINTER systems
sold, offset by higher margins on international shipments in fiscal 1996.
Product maintenance and service margins for the six months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 were -29% and -24% of maintenance and support revenues,
respectively. The increased costs of product maintenance and support are due
primarily to building of base field service operations to accommodate
maintenance of TENPRINTER systems now located in 37 states.
Sales and marketing expenses for the six-month period ended March 31,
1996 were 30% of total sales compared to 22% for the same six-month period in
1995. This increase is due primarily to the lower sales level and international
marketing efforts. Engineering and development expenses were 56% of total sales
for the six-month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to 20% for the same
period a year ago. The 1996 increase is due primarily to the lower sales level
and new product development efforts. Engineering and development expenses for
the six-month periods ending March 31, 1996 and 1995 are net of reimbursements
of $462,000 and $435,000, respectively, related to an international development
project. General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended
March 31, 1996 were 26% of total sales compared to 14% for the same period in
1995. This increase is due primarily to the lower sales level and increased
legal expenses related to the patent infringement lawsuit.
Interest income increased to $371,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1996 from $195,000 for the same period in 1995, primarily due to cash
received from the private placement of 8% convertible debentures issued on
September 29, 1995 and a non-cash charge of $1,924,000 for the intrinsic value
of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debentures.
Interest expense increased to $2,476,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1996 from $10,000 for the same period in 1995, primarily due to a non-cash
charge of $1,924,000 for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion
feature of the convertible debentures, and to a lesser extent, accrued interest
expense on the 8% convertible debentures issued on September 29, 1995.
The Company incurred a net loss for the six-month period ended March
31, 1996 of $5,278,000 ($0.65 per share) as compared with $657,000 ($0.08 per
share) for the same period in 1995. The net loss for the six-month period ended
March 31, 1996 includes a non-cash interest expense charge of $1,924,000 ($0.24
per share) for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the
Company's convertible debentures.
INFLATION
The Company does not believe inflation has significantly impacted
revenues or expenses.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
At March 31, 1996, the Company had carryforwards of net operating
losses of approximately $20,200,000 that may allow the Company to reduce future
income taxes that would otherwise be payable. Of this amount approximately
$2,200,000 relates to compensation associated with the exercise of non-qualified
stock options which, when realized, would result in approximately $880,000
credited to additional paid-in capital. The carryforwards expire annually
beginning in 1999. The annual limitation on use of net operating losses is
calculated by multiplying the value of the corporation immediately prior to the
change in ownership by the long-term federal tax exempt rate. A total of
$3,700,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 1996 is subject
to an annual net operating loss limitation, estimated at $350,000, resulting
from the change in control of the Company which occurred, for income tax
purposes, on December 14, 1990, the date of the Company's initial public
offering. If the limited carryforward amount for any tax year exceeds the
regular taxable income for such year, then the unused portion may generally be
carried forward to increase the annual limitation for the following year.
Utilization of net operating losses aggregating $16,500,000 which were incurred
subsequent to the change of ownership are not limited. However, any future
ownership change could create a limitation with respect to these loss
carryforwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
BACKGROUND
For the period from the Company's inception in 1985 through March 31,
1996, limited revenues have resulted from product sales and at March 31, 1996,
the Company's cumulative deficit was $22,638,000. Losses are expected to
continue until the market development and acceptance of the technology
incorporated into the Company's products provides product sales sufficient to
cover the Company's operating expenses.
CURRENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONS
The Company's performance in any one reporting period is not
necessarily indicative of sales trends or future performance. The nature of the
law enforcement market and the government procurement process are expected to
continue to result in an irregular and unpredictable revenue cycle for the
Company.
Net cash used in operating activities was $3,681,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1996 compared with $757,000 for the same period in 1995. This
increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of a larger
net loss during the six-month period in 1996 as well as an increase in accounts
receivable balances due primarily to international shipments and an increase in
inventory from purchases for the new TENPRINTER Series-S production line.
Net cash used in investing activities was $746,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared with net cash provided by investing activities
of $316,000 for the same period in 1995. Capital expenditures in 1996 and 1995
were primarily for engineering and manufacturing leasehold improvements and test
fixtures. The Company's business does not require significant amounts of cash
for capital expenditures because substantial amounts of the manufacturing and
assembly processes utilized in the production of current products are performed
by outside vendors, as directed by the Company. Specifically, the Company
purchases electronics modules and standard mechanical assemblies from
manufacturers of such goods. In addition, sheet metal components, optical
components and specialized electronics modules are designed by the Company and
manufactured to the Company's specifications by outside sources.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8,975,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared with $426,000 for the same period in
1995. The increase is due to cash received from the issuance of 8% convertible
debentures and repayments of outstanding borrowings on lines of credit. The
Debentures include a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of
$1,924,000 which has been recorded as a charge to interest expense. The
intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is to be allocated to
additional paid-in capital with the resulting discount on the debt resulting in
a non-cash interest expense charge to earnings (loss) over the conversion
period. There were no borrowings under lines of credit at March 31, 1996.
Historically, the Company has relied primarily on sales of common stock to
satisfy its financing requirements.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had $4,916,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and $5,834,000 in marketable securities. The unrealized loss on
marketable securities at March 31, 1996 was $121,000.
The Company extends credit to state and local governments in connection
with sales of products to law enforcement agencies. Approximately 54% of
customer accounts receivable at March 31, 1996 were from government agencies, of
which 62% was from a single customer. Approximately 46% of customer accounts
receivable at March 31, 1996 were from non-government agencies, of which 81% was
from a single customer.
The Company has a $200,000 line of credit with First Bank Minneapolis,
secured by cash deposits. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime
rate (8.25% on March 31, 1996). The line is payable upon demand and expires in
March 1997. There were no amounts borrowed under the line at March 31, 1996.
The Company has a $4,000,000 line of credit with Norwest Bank Minnesota
N.A. Borrowings under this line of credit are secured by marketable securities
and are limited to the amount of marketable securities held as collateral by the
bank. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% on March
31, 1996). The line is payable upon demand and expires in May 1996. There were
no amounts borrowed under the line at March 31, 1996.
Management believes that cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities and cash generated from operations, together with available financing
sources, are sufficient to meet current and foreseeable operating requirements.
