IDENTIX INCORPORATED ~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~(Unaudited)~~

1.		Basis of Presentation
		These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 included in the Identix Incorporated Form 10-K. Identix Incorporated is hereinafter referred to as “Identix” or the “Company”. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which ends on June 30, 2004.
		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, goodwill and other intangible asset impairments, inventory allowances, warranty costs, revenue recognition as well as loss contingencies and restructurings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
2.		Revenue Recognition Policy
		The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
		The Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21 “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,”(“EITF 00-21”) effective April 1, 2003. There was no cumulative effect of a change in accounting policy upon the adoption of EITF 00-21. Under EITF 00-21, a company must determine whether any or all of the deliverables of a multiple deliverable agreement can be separated from one another. If separation is possible, revenue is recognized for each deliverable (based on objective and reliable evidence of the fair value) as the applicable revenue recognition criteria are achieved for that specific deliverable. Alternatively, if separation is not possible, revenue recognition may need to be spread evenly over the performance of all deliverables, or deferred until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered to the customer.
		The Company’s product revenue is derived from the sale of equipment and software, as well as maintenance contracts related to the Company’s product lines. Certain of the Company’s equipment sales such as its Live Scan Systems generally require installation and training subsequent to shipment and transfer of title. Product revenue related to equipment sales that require installation is deferred until installation is complete and customer acceptance has been obtained. Revenue related to product sales that require no installation such as printers and other peripheral devices as well as certain security products including DFR-2080, DFR-300, DFR-200 and FingerScan V20 are recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, generally upon shipment by the Company, provided no significant obligations remain and collection of the receivable is deemed reasonably assured. Revenues from sales of products via authorized representatives, dealers, distributors or other third party sales channels are recognized at the time the risks and rewards have transferred or, in the case of Live Scan Systems that generally require installation, upon the final installation, training and acceptance from the end user. The Company was audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency for the period from July 1, 1997 to June 30, 2000 and the results of the audit did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently undergoing a General Services Administration pre-award audit for the renewal of a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract. While the Company believes that the results of such audit will have no material effect on the results of operation, any material adverse findings or adjustments arising out of such audit may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
		The Company also sells several stand-alone software products including BioLogon® and software developer kits. The Company recognizes revenue on software products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to allocate the total fee to all undelivered elements of the arrangement and collection is determined to be probable. VSOE is

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 included in the Identix Incorporated Form 10-K. Identix Incorporated is hereinafter referred to as “Identix” or the “Company”. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year, which ends on June 30, 2005.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, goodwill and other intangible asset impairments, inventory allowances, warranty costs, revenue recognition as well as loss contingencies and restructurings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Revenue Recognition Policy

Significant management judgments and estimates are made in connection with the revenues recognized in any accounting period. The Company must assess whether the fee associated with a revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of revenues for any period if management were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates.

Certain of the Company’s equipment sales such as its TouchPrint Live Scan Systems generally require installation subsequent to shipment and transfer of title. The Company recognizes revenue on such sales in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue related to equipment sales that are contingent on installation is deferred until installation is complete, title has transferred and customer acceptance has been obtained. Due to current Company policy and practices, the Company considers acceptance of the TouchPrint Live Scan Systems contingent upon successful installation of the product. Revenue related to product sales that require no installation such as the Company’s TP3000A and TP3100A products as well as printers and other peripheral devices including DFR-300, DFR-200 and FingerScan V20 are recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, generally upon shipment and transfer of title by the Company, provided no significant obligations remain and collection of the receivable is deemed reasonably assured. Revenues from sales of products via authorized representatives, dealers, distributors or other third party sales channels are recognized at the time of title transfer, generally upon shipment.

Sales of the Company’s Integrated Biometric Information Systems (“IBIS”), and certain other products, are considered multiple element arrangements and involve the sale of hardware and services. The Company accounts for multiple element arrangements under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, (“EITF 00-21”) “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, effective April 1, 2003. Under EITF 00-21, a company must determine whether any or all of the deliverables of a multiple deliverable agreement can be separated from one another. If separation is possible, revenue is recognized for each deliverable (based on objective and reliable evidence of the fair value) as the applicable revenue recognition criteria are achieved for that specific deliverable. Alternatively, if separation is not possible, revenue recognition may need to be spread evenly over the performance of all deliverables, or deferred until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered to the customer.

The Company also sells several stand-alone software products including ABIS systems, BioLogon and software developer kits. Revenue is recognized on software products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. The Company recognizes revenue on software products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) exists to allocate the total fee to all undelivered elements of the arrangement and collection is deemed reasonably assured. VSOE is established based upon either sales of the element (e.g. maintenance, training or consulting) in individual transactions, or, in certain cases for maintenance, based upon substantive renewal rates.

		established based upon either sales of the element (e.g. maintenance, training or consulting) in individual transactions, or, in certain cases for maintenance, based upon substantive renewal rates. In cases where the Company does not have VSOE for all delivered elements in the transaction (e.g., for licenses), the fees from these multiple-element agreements are allocated using the residual value method. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized rateably over the life of the service period of the related agreement.
		The majority of the Company’s service revenues are generated from the U.S. Government under various firm fixed-price (“FFP”), time-and-material (“T&M”) and cost reimbursement contracts. Revenues on FFP contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. Revenues on T&M contracts are recognized to the extent of billable rates multiplied by hours worked plus materials expense incurred. Revenues for cost plus fixed fee (“CPFF”) contracts are recognized as costs are incurred, including a proportionate amount of the fee earned. Unbilled accounts receivable represent accrued revenue that becomes billable per the terms of contract. Provisions for estimated contract losses are recorded in the period such losses are determined.
		Services revenues from contracts directly with the U.S. Government, principally with the Department of Defense (“DOD”), and from subcontracts with other U.S. Government contractors, were approximately 70% of total services revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2003 compared to 85% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Contract costs for services revenues to the U.S. Government, including indirect expenses, are subject to audit and subsequent adjustment by negotiation between the Company and U.S. Government representatives. Revenues are recorded in amounts expected to be realized upon final settlement.
3.		Stock Based Compensation
		The Company accounts for its employee and director stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans in accordance with provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Additional pro forma disclosures on the Company’s stock plans are presented in Note 9. The Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, SFAS 148 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, the Company continues to measure compensation cost for the stock option plan using the intrinsic value method of accounting.
		Had compensation cost for the Company’s employee stock options been recognized upon the estimated fair value on the grant date under the fair value methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

In cases where the Company does not have VSOE for all delivered elements in the transaction (e.g., for licenses), the fees from these multiple-element agreements are allocated using the residual value method. In circumstances when the software and services being sold include services to provide significant production, modification or customization of the software, and the services cannot be segregated into separate units of accounting, the Company accounts for the software sales under SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1 “Accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts”. In the cases where SOP 81-1 is applied, the Company uses the cost-to-cost method of percentage of completion. Under this method, sales, including estimated earned fees or profits, are recorded based on the percentage that total costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service period of the related agreement.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The revised statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and other third parties, eliminates the ability to account for share-based payments using APB Opinion No. 25 and requires that the compensation costs relating to such transactions be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based upon the grant-date fair value of those instruments. The revised statement is effective as of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently determining what impact the newly issued statement will have on its results of operations and financial position. See the “Stock Based Compensation” discussion above, which includes the pro forma impact of recognizing stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123, on the Company’s net loss and loss per common share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.

		In addition, the Company if needed, has $506,000 in long-term marketable securities that can be used to finance operations.
		The Company’s existing line of credit (the “Identix Line of Credit”) was entered into on May 30, 2003. This line of credit provides for up to the lesser of $15,000,000 or the cash collateral base or the borrowing base. Borrowings under the Identix Line of Credit are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and bear interest at the bank’s prime rate of interest which was 4.00% at September 30, 2003. The Identix Line of Credit expires on October 30, 2004. Until the Company establishes a net income before income taxes for two consecutive fiscal quarters, the Company will be required to deposit with the lender an amount equal to the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all prior advances plus any portion of the line of credit reserved to support unexpired letters of credit plus the amount of the requested advance before an advance will be given. In addition, all advances must be used for working capital. At September 30, 2003, there were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit.
		The Identix Line of Credit agreement contains financial, operating and reporting covenants. At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

5. Acquisition

On February 23, 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership of Sylvan Identix Fingerprint Centers (“SIFC”) from Sylvan Learning Centers.

IIS provides services to corporations and government agencies capturing fingerprints and transmitting the data for applicant background checks. IIS maintains a network of Identix live scan systems at processing centers across the country where certified technicians process applicants. In consideration for Sylvan’s 50% interest in the joint venture, Identix paid Sylvan $875,000 in cash and paid acquisition costs of $50,000. At the date of acquisition, Identix had a negative investment in the joint venture of $235,000. The purchase price was allocated to other intangible assets of $840,000, goodwill of $268,000 and net liabilities of $418,000.

6. Cash and Credit Facilities

The Company financed its operations during the six months ended December 31, 2004 primarily from cash provided by its operations.

The line of credit expires on October 1, 2005. Until the Company generates positive net income before income taxes for two consecutive fiscal quarters, the Company will be required to deposit with the lender an amount equal to the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all prior advances plus any portion of the line of credit reserved to support unexpired letters of credit plus the amount of the requested advance before an advance will be given. In addition, all advances must be used for working capital. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit.

The line of credit agreement contains financial, operating and reporting covenants that are not binding until the Company draws on the line of credit.

The restructuring liability is classified in the consolidated balance sheet based on the anticipated timing of the respective payment. As of September 30, 2003, $8,673,000 of the above restructuring liability is classified as long-term. Fiscal 2003 During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded merger related expenses totaling $3,171,000 that consisted of $1,826,000 in relocation costs and $1,345,000 related to employees with extended terminations to assist in the integration. Such costs were expensed as incurred. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company also recorded a loss of $3,766,000 on the sublease of a portion of its Fairfax, Virginia facility. The loss represented the difference between the remaining lease obligation of $5,222,000, abandoned property and equipment of $445,000 and costs to sublet the facility of $375,000, and the sublease income of $2,276,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded income of $182,000 through the reversal of a reserve relating to the shut down of the Company’s Virginia Beach-based Law Enforcement Solutions Division (“LESD”) group as the actual costs to dispose of the division were less than estimated. 7. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, including convertible preferred stock as well as stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Options and warrants to purchase 9,021,068 and 9,975,937 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. Also 234,558 shares of convertible preferred stock were outstanding at September 30, 2003 and are convertible into 236,000 shares of common stock, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. 8. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $4,651,000 compared to a loss of $13,942,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss for the Company consisted of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale marketable securities and cumulative translation adjustments. 9. Reportable Segment Data The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business groups that offer different products and services and include inter-segment revenues, corporate allocations and administrative expenses. Revenues are attributed to the reportable segment of the sales or service organizations, and costs directly and indirectly incurred in generating revenues are similarly assigned.

8. Restructuring and other, net

At the time of the Company’s merger with Visionics in June 2002, Identix recorded restructuring charges of $18,798,000 for the termination of 110 employees, and the closure of its facilities in Dublin and Los Gatos California. From period of June 2002 to June 2004 the Company incurred total merger costs of $29,864,000.

The following is a summary of the charges incurred and payments made from the time of the merger through June 30, 2004:

Fiscal 2005

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Company realized a restructuring gain of $1,071,000 related to the negotiated release of the Company from its Los Gatos facilities lease. The restructuring gain represents the difference between the Company’s accrued lease exit costs of $6,363,000, reduced by the negotiated payoff amount and associated transactions costs of $5,292,000. The $6,363,000 of accrued lease exit costs is included in the total restructuring liability of $7,720,000 at June 30, 2004 and the $5,292,000 representing the lease settlement amount is included in the restructuring liability at of $6,021,000 at December 31, 2004. The lease settlement amount was paid in January 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $451,000 related to a reduction in the estimated amount of lease recoveries associated with this lease. Management believed that this charge in the first quarter was necessary because at that time the real estate markets in Northern California had continued their decline and it was not anticipated that the Company would be able to negotiate an exit to the lease and no such discussions between the Company and the lessor had commenced. The first quarter charge combined with the second quarter gain resulted in a net restructuring gain of $620,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004.

The following table represents a summary of the restructuring and other, net for the six months ended December 31, 2003:

11.	Indemnification Arrangements and Product Warranties
	For the six months ended December 31, 2003
	As part of the Visionics acquisition in June 2002, the Company undertook, and assumed from Visionics, obligations to indemnify the officers and directors of the acquired company for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director served in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this indemnification obligation is unlimited; however, the Company purchased a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy to cover former directors and officers of Visionics that provides coverage until June 25, 2007 and may enable Identix to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Assuming the applicability of the coverage and the willingness of the insurer to assume coverage and subject to certain retention, loss limits and other policy provisions and except as provided below, the Company believes the estimated fair value of the indemnification obligations to Visionics’ directors and officers is not material. However, no assurances can be given that the covering insurers will not attempt to dispute the validity, applicability or amount of coverage without expensive and time-consuming litigation against the insurers.
					Restructuring
	From time to time, the Company agrees to indemnify its customers against liability if the Company’s products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. As of September 30, 2003, the Company was not subject to any pending litigation alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.

Total	$	12,796	$	1,898	$	10,898

9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, including convertible preferred stock as well as stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

Options and warrants to purchase 8,121,205 and 8,711,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. Also 234,558 shares of convertible preferred stock were outstanding at December 31, 2003. Such shares of preferred stock were convertible into 234,558 shares of the Company’s common stock, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. The convertible preferred stock was converted to common stock during the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

10. Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 was $2,764,000 and $7,597,000 compared to a loss of $5,555,000 and $10,206,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Accumulated other comprehensive loss for the Company consisted of unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale marketable securities and cumulative translation adjustments.

~~The Company offers a warranty on various products and services~~11. ~~The~~Reportable ~~Company~~Segment estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product is sold. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The amount of the reserve recorded is equal to the costs to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim. The following table presents changes in the Company’s warranty liability during the first three months of fiscal 2004:Data

Balance at July 1, 2003	$	374,000
Warranty Expense		183,000
Closed Warranty Claims		(148,000	)
Balance at September 30, 2003	$	409,000

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business groups that offer different products and services and include inter-segment revenues, corporate allocations and administrative expenses. Due to the disposition of IPS and the acquisition of 100% ownership of IIS, the business segments of Identix have correspondingly been changed from previously reported periods to reflect this activity. Revenues are attributed to the reportable segment that is responsible for generating the revenue and the direct and indirect costs incurred are similarly assigned.

12.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 was effective for the Company for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective for all existing financial instruments at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on either the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	2004			2003			2004			2003
	In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 addresses the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities, for which they do not have controlling interests through voting or other rights, if they are determined to be the primary beneficiary as a result of variable economic interests. FIN 46 provides guidance for determining the primary beneficiary for entities with multiple economic interests. FIN 46 is effective at the time of investment for interests obtained in a variable economic entity after January 31, 2003. Beginning in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2004, FIN 46 will be applied to interests in variable interest entities (VIE’s) acquired prior to February 1, 2003. Management believes the adoption of FIN 46 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

13.	Subsequent Events
Total revenues:
	On October 3, 2003, the Company announced that it had been awarded a blanket purchase order (“BPA”) from the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) with an estimated value of approximately $27 million over a five year period to provide live scan units and related services to the Citizenship and Immigration Service. The BPA was part of a competitive bidding process where unsuccessful bidders for public agency contracts are provided customary rights to formally protest contract awards through various agency, administrative and judicial channels.
Biometric systems	$	16,465		$	11,508		$	30,963		$	23,275
	On October 23, 2003, the Company reported that a protest had been lodged by one of its competitors against the award of the BPA to Identix. In response to the protest, DHS issued a stop work order, meaning further procurement of the Company’s technology under the BPA is being held in abeyance until the protest is resolved. DHS also formally informed the Company that, as a result of DHS’ review of the BPA solicitation and the evaluation process conducted by DHS of proposals received in response, DHS had decided to conduct a new round of evaluations of previously submitted proposals. DHS also formally requested that the U.S. General Accounting Office dismiss the competitor’s protest.
*Other		2,093			548			4,218			1,248
	While the Company continues to believe that the BPA award to Identix will not be overturned and that any new evaluation by DHS will simply re-confirm that the Company’ products and services represent the “best overall value” for the customer, there can be no assurance that DHS’ new round of evaluations will not result in substantial delays in purchases under the BPA or that it will not result in the cancellation of all or a portion of the BPA award itself.

13. Indemnification Arrangements and Product Warranties

The terms of the sale of IPS (see Note 4), include an obligation on the part of the Company to indemnify Alion against liabilities, including for breaches of representations and warranties made by the Company in the sales agreement, for an amount not to exceed $2,125,000. This indemnification expires in February 2006.

From time to time, the Company agrees to indemnify its customers against liability if the Company’s products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was not subject to any pending litigation alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.

The Company offers a 90-day and one year warranty on various products and services. The majority of the warranty liability that the Company has recorded is due to the one-year warranties. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product is sold. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The amount of the reserve recorded is equal to the estimated costs to repair or otherwise satisfy the claim. The following table presents changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the six months ended December 31, 2004:

14. Legal Matters

On February 5, 2003, Roger Benson, an individual, filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against the Company, Digital Biometrics, Inc. (“DBI”), and Visionics Corporation in California Superior Court, alleging that in 1998 he was issued a duplicate electronic fingerprint number that was also held by a convicted felon. Mr. Benson’s complaint alleged that the fingerprint number was generated by a live scan system manufactured by DBI and operated by a Sheriff’s office in the State of Oregon, and also alleged that the plaintiff suffered injuries from a 43-day incarceration after the plaintiff’s identity was allegedly mistaken for that of the felon because of the duplicate fingerprint number. Mr. Benson alleged liability under strict product liability, failure to warn, breach of implied warranty, negligence, and unfair business practices, among other theories of liability.

Since the inception of Mr. Benson’s lawsuit, Identix has vigorously defended itself on the grounds that any alleged misidentification of Mr. Benson was not the result of any design, manufacturing or product defect or malfunction, or any other error, omission or fault on the part the Company or affiliated defendants. On February 2, 2005, Mr. Benson voluntarily dismissed the case in its entirety against Identix and its affiliated defendants. (Mr. Benson has not dismissed the State of California, which remains a defendant in the action.) Mr. Benson’s voluntary dismissal of claims follows Identix’ recent successful motion for, and award of, monetary sanctions against each of Mr. Benson and his attorney. Mr. Benson’s voluntary dismissal also follows Identix’ flat rejection of a recent offer of settlement made by Mr. Benson. As the prevailing party in this lawsuit for judicial purposes, Identix will now seek from the court an award of recoverable costs against the plaintiff, which the Company believes will be immaterial.

On July 22, 2004, the Company was served with a class action complaint naming Miguel Espinoza as a purported class action plaintiff. Mr. Espinoza is also one of the individual plaintiffs added to the Benson litigation via the January 2004 amended complaints in that litigation. Mr. Espinoza claims that he was denied a liquor license for his business in Oregon on August 1, 2002 because he was misidentified as a convicted felon. He alleges the misidentification was a result of duplicate fingerprint identification number also held by a convicted felon, and that the duplicate number was generated by a live scan system manufactured by DBI and operated by a Sheriff’s office in the State of Oregon. The complaint alleges liability under strict product liability, failure to warn, breach of implied warranty, negligence, product misrepresentation and 42 U.S.C §1983 among other theories of liability. While the case is in its early stages, based on currently available information, the Company believes that the issuance of any duplicate fingerprint numbers was not the result of any design, manufacturing or product defect or malfunction, or any other error, omission or fault on the part the Company or affiliated defendants. The Company believes that any alleged misidentification of Mr. Espinoza was not the result of any design, manufacturing or product defect or malfunction, or any other error, omission or fault on the part the Company or affiliated defendants and the Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

While it is not possible at this early stage of the proceeding to predict with precision and certainty the outcome of the action discussed above, based on the facts and information currently available to the Company (which are subject to change based on discovery of further facts and information) the Company believes that liabilities and costs arising out of such action will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

15. New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs — an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“FAS 151”). FAS 151 amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during after June 30, 2005. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In October 2004, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 04-10, Applying Paragraph 19 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 in Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments that do not meet the Quantitative Thresholds. SFAS No. 131 Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. This issue addresses how to aggregate operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds in SFAS No. 131. The effective date of the standard has been delayed. When effective, the adoption of this standard will require the Company to reexamine how segments are disclosed and will likely result in the Company identifying its Identix Identification Services (“IIS”) subsidiary separately as a reportable segment. Currently, the Company has two segments, Biometric systems and other, with IIS currently classified as other along with the Company’s Legislative Demographic Services subsidiary as other.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2.

The statements in this report on Form 10-Q that relate to future plans, events, or performance are forward-looking statements. Actual results, events and performance may differ materially due to a variety of factors including the factors described under “Risk Factors” below. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial ~~Statements and accompanying~~ ~~notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual~~ ~~Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 describes the~~ ~~significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the~~ Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, goodwill and other intangible asset impairments, inventory allowances, warranty costs, revenue recognition as well as loss contingencies and restructurings. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 describes the critical accounting policies that are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s annual impairment analysis was performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 and resulted in an impairment charge to goodwill of $154,799,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $21,332,000 compared to $25,062,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in overall revenue consisted of a decrease in product revenue of $1,434,000 and a decrease in services of $2,296,000. The Company had one customer, the Department of Defense (DOD) which accounted for 20% of the total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to 29% for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Product revenues were $12,718,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $14,152,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenues of 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was primarily due to the Visionics merger in June 2002 that resulted in a build up of backlog that was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 which did not occur during the same time period in fiscal year 2004. In addition, a decreased sales volume from the Company’s Live Scan products and competitive pricing pressures also contributed to this decrease. This

decrease was partially offset by increased sales of the Company’s Software Development Kits and the Company’s Identification Based Information System (“IBIS”). The Company may continue to experience downward competitive pricing pressures in the future.

International sales accounted for $733,000 or 6% of the Company’s product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $752,000 or 5% of the Company’s product revenues for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s international sales are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars, and the Company actively monitors its foreign currency exchange exposure and, if significant, will take action to reduce foreign exchange risk. To date, the Company has not entered into any hedging transactions.

The Company is currently undergoing a General Services Administration pre-award audit for the renewal of a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract. While the Company believes that the results of such audit will have no material effect on the results of operation, any material adverse findings or adjustments arising out of such audit may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Services revenues were $8,614,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 down 21% when compared to services revenues of $10,910,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2003, is primarily the result of decreased revenues from the Naval Sea Systems Command contracts that were in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The contracts’ period of performance ended June 30, 2003. The majority of the Company’s services revenues are generated directly from contracts with the U.S. Government, principally the DOD. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, revenues directly from the DOD and from other U. S. Government agencies accounted for 70% of the Company’s total services revenues compared to 85%, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

In January 2003, the Company was notified that its service business was not awarded a contract to continue providing professional support services and material acquisition support to the Naval Sea Systems Command under contract PMS-325. The original contract was a cost plus fixed fee award that expired on June 30, 2003. The contract that was not awarded would have generated an estimated $3,250,000 per quarter of additional revenue over the life of the contract. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 the Company recognized approximately $2,400,000 under this contract. Due to the low margins on this contract, its loss will not materially affect the Company’s cash flows.

The Company’s services business generates a significant amount of its revenues from firm fixed-price (“FFP”) contracts and from time-and-materials (“T&M”) contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company derived 89% of services revenues from FFP and T&M contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company derived 93% of services revenues from FFP and T&M contracts. FFP contracts provide for a fixed price for stipulated services or products, regardless of the costs incurred, which may result in losses from cost overruns. T&M contracts typically provide for payment of negotiated hourly rates for labor incurred plus reimbursement of other allowable direct and indirect costs. The Company assumes greater performance risk on T&M and FFP contracts and the failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the work can result in reduced profit margins or losses. There can be no assurance that the Company’s services business will not incur cost overruns for any FFP and T&M contracts it is awarded. The Company’s services business also generates revenues from cost plus fixed fee (“CPFF”) contracts, which accounted for approximately 11% of its services revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and approximately 7% of its services revenues for the same period in the prior fiscal year. CPFF contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs, including indirect costs plus a fee or profit. Revenues generated from contracts with government agencies are subject to audit and subsequent adjustment by negotiation between the Company and representatives of such government agencies. The Company was audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency for the period from July 1, 1997 to June 30, 2000 and the results of the audit did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Gross margin on product revenues was 37% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 27% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. When the Company merged with Visionics on June 25, 2002 there was a consolidation of the two entity’s inventories and product lines. The consolidation rendered some inventory items obsolete. As a result, an inventory revaluation charge of $809,000 was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 which had the effect of decreasing the Company’s product gross margin for this time period. An inventory revaluation of this nature was not necessary in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 and as a result the product gross margins increased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company expects gross margins to fluctuate in future periods due to changes in the product mix, the costs of components and the competition in the industry.

Gross margin on services revenues was 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 10% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. In fiscal year 2003, the Company was notified that its service business was not awarded a contract to provide professional support services and material acquisition support to the Naval Sea Systems Command under contract PMS-325. This particular contract had a high percentage of subcontractor and reseller costs associated with it that combined to create a lower margin on this contract and on the services gross margin as a whole in the first quarter of fiscal year

~~Research,~~RESULTS ~~Development~~OF ~~and Engineering~~OPERATIONS

~~Research~~Revenues, ~~development~~ and ~~engineering~~Gross ~~expenses were $2,255,000 or 18% of~~Margins ~~product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to~~ $3,088,000 or 22% of product revenues for the same period in the prior fiscal year. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, there were several ongoing development projects in the areas of software and hardware that required a significant amount of subcontractor work. Throughout fiscal year 2003, there was a concerted effort by the Company to decrease its reliance on its principle subcontractor. These factors combined with the completion of the development projects ongoing in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 resulted in the $833,000 decrease of research development and engineering expenses identified above.

Total revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, were $18,558,000 and $35,181,000 respectively compared to $12,056,000 and $24,523,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue from products was $10,284,000 and $18,564,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $5,423,000 and $11,147,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended 2004, is due primarily to an increase in sales of biometric hardware and software products, these increases were partially driven by several contracts from United States government agencies. Revenues associated with product sales are primarily derived from the sale of hardware and software.

Revenues from service for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, were $8,274,000 and $16,617,000 compared to $6,633,000 and $13,376,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in service revenue was driven mainly by the acquisition of IIS. The service revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2003 does not contain any revenue from the Company’s IIS subsidiary which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Service revenues are derived primarily from activities surrounding the servicing of the Company’s hardware and software under maintenance agreements as well as revenue derived from the Company’s IIS subsidiary, which provides fingerprinting services.

Revenue from biometric systems was $16,465,000 and $30,963,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $11,508,000 and $23,275,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended is due primarily to an increase in sales of biometric hardware and software during the quarter of approximately $4,000,000 and $8,000,000 respectively which was partially offset by a reduction of biometric related maintenance and professional services revenue of approximately $800,000 and $1,400,000 respectively. The increase in biometric revenues was due to the growth in the federal and international markets. The Company had one customer, the U.S. Government that accounted for 27% of the total revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to 13% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue from the Company’s Identix Identification Services (“IIS”) and Legislative Demographic Services (“LDS”) subsidiaries aggregated $2,093,000 and $4,218,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, and $548,000 and $1,248,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the addition of IIS, which was acquired, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, Identix derived approximately 27% of total revenue from contracts relating to the U.S. Federal Government with one government agency making up 19% and 16% of total revenues during the respective periods. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2003, the Company derived 13% and 9% of its revenue from the U.S. Federal Government with no one agency consisting of more than 10% of total revenue. The loss of a material government contract due to budget cuts or otherwise could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial results.

The Company is currently awaiting the results of a recent General Services Administration post-award audit arising out of the renewal of its GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract. While the Company believes that the results of such audit will have no material effect on the results of operation, if there is a material adverse finding or adjustment arising out of such an audit it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

International sales accounted for $1,704,000 and $3,420,000 or 9% and 10% of the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $1,355,000 and $2,088,000 or 11% and 9% of the Company’s revenue for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in international revenue is due primarily to the Company’s continued efforts to actively pursue business in the international biometric market place. The Company’s international sales are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars, and the Company actively monitors its foreign currency exchange exposure and, if significant, will take action to reduce foreign exchange risk. To date, the Company has not entered into any hedging transactions.

Gross margins on product revenues were 33% and 32% respectively for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to 41% and 43% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in product gross margins was expected due to the investment in specific customer programs. In addition, competitive pricing pressures played a partial role in the reduction of gross margins. The Company believes that the investment in the specific customer programs combined with a shift in the product mix and a stabilized pricing environment will lead to higher gross margins in the second half of its fiscal 2005. The expected increase in product gross margin in the second half of fiscal year 2005 will be conditioned in part upon an increase in the Company’s higher margin Automated Biometric Information System (ABIS) revenue during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2005. The Company expects gross margins may fluctuate in future periods due to changes in the product mix, the costs of components and the competition in the industry.

Services gross margins were 30% and 29% respectively for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to 31% and 32% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in margins from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 is the result of decreased pricing on the maintenance contracts. The Company expects gross margins may fluctuate in future periods due to changes in the product mix, the costs of components and the competition in the industry.

Research and Development

Research and development expense was $2,787,000 and $5,316,000 or 15% of revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $2,768,000 and $5,023,000 or 23% and 20% of revenues for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses remained consistent with the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Now and in the foreseeable future, Identix is committed to continue its focus on the investment in research and development, which is critical to developing new and innovative products intended to allow the Company to maintain a strong technological position in the industry.

For the six months ended December 31, 2003, $5,324,000 of cash was used by operating activities. The cash used in operations consisted primarily of the net loss of $10,215,00; decreased accounts payable of $2,214,000 and decreased accrued liabilities which was the result of the payment of several large invoices. These decreases were partially offset by decreased accounts receivable of $3,037,000, which was the result of decreased sales, combined with collections; decreased prepaid expenses of $1,024,000; and increased deferred revenue of $1,219,000. The cash consumed in investing activities was $567,000 that consisted of the purchase of marketable securities and fixed assets of $8,961,000 and $606,000 respectively which was partially offset by the sale of securities of $9,000,000. Financing activities consisted primarily of stock option exercises, which generated $921,000 in cash.

The Company currently occupies its Minnesota headquarters under a lease that expires in March 2008, and is required to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance as well as monthly rental payments. The Company also leases space for its corporate research and development lab in New Jersey under a lease that expires in May 2006, and is required to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance as well as monthly rental payments. In addition, the Company leases space in Dublin, California for its former research, development and engineering activities that expire in March 2006. Further, the Company leases office space for its sales force and customer support activities under operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2008. The leases contain escalation provisions requiring rental increases for increases in operating expense and real estate taxes. In the latter half of December 2004, the Company negotiated a release from its obligations under the lease agreement for its former corporate headquarters in Los Gatos California. In exchange for a payment of $5,292,000, the landlord released Identix from its net lease obligations totaling approximately $6,363,000. which also relieves the Company of the requirement to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance on this facility.

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases are as follows:

~~Included in the above future minimum payments is $10,344,000 related to two~~18 leased facilities in Northern California that were vacated in connection with the Company’s merger with Visionics and were fully accrued for as of September 30, 2003. In addition, the Company is aggressively attempting to sublease the unoccupied facilities.

While the Company believes that existing working capital may be adequate to fund the Company’s current cash requirements, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing in the future. The Company may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing. If successful in raising additional financing, the Company may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilutive to existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing.

~~Recent~~While ~~Accounting~~the ~~Pronouncements~~Company believes that existing working capital will be adequate to fund the Company’s current cash requirements for at least the next twelve months, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing in the future. The Company may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms that are not excessively dilutive to existing stockholders. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms in the future could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance and stock price and require the Company to implement certain cost reduction initiatives and curtail certain of its operations.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 was effective for the Company for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective for all existing financial instruments at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on either the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 addresses the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities, for which they do not have controlling interests through voting or other rights, if they are determined to be the primary beneficiary as a result of variable economic interests. FIN 46 provides guidance for determining the primary beneficiary for entities with multiple economic interests. FIN 46 is effective at the time of investment for interests obtained in a variable economic entity after January 31, 2003. Beginning in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2004, FIN 46 will be applied to interests in variable interest entities (VIE’s) acquired prior to February 1, 2003. Management believes the adoption of FIN 46 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

RISK FACTORS

This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s business, operating results, financial performance and share price may be materially adversely affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to the following risk factors, any one of which could cause actual results to vary materially from anticipated results or ~~from~~ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or in other reports, press releases or other statements issued from time to time. Additional factors that may cause such a difference are set forth in the Company’s ~~annual~~Annual ~~report~~Report on Form 10-K.

Our business will not grow unless the market for biometric ~~solutions~~products and services expands ~~both~~ both domestically and internationally.

Our ~~product~~ revenues ~~and a portion of our service revenues~~ are derived from the sale of biometric products and services. Biometric ~~solutions~~products have ~~not~~ not gained widespread commercial acceptance. We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate, if any, or the ultimate size of the biometric technology market. The expansion of the market for our products ~~and services~~ depends on a number of factors including without limitation:

• National or international events which increase or decrease the need or interest in biometric products or services; • the cost, performance and reliability of our products and services and ~~the~~those ~~products and services~~ of our competitors; • customers’ perception of the perceived benefit of biometric ~~solutions~~products and services; • public perceptions of the intrusiveness of these ~~solutions~~products and services and the manner in which firms are using the information collected; • public perceptions regarding the confidentiality of private information; • proposed or enacted legislation related to privacy of information; • customers’ satisfaction with our products and services; and • marketing efforts and publicity regarding these products and services.

Certain groups have publicly objected to the use of biometric products for some applications on civil liberties grounds and legislation has been proposed to regulate the use of biometric security products. From time to time, biometrics technologies have been the focus of organizations and individuals seeking to curtail or eliminate such technologies on the grounds that they may be be used to diminish personal privacy rights. If such initiatives result in restrictive legislation, the market for biometric solutions may be adversely affected. Even if biometric solutions gain wide market acceptance, our products and services may not adequately address the requirements of the market and may not gain wide market acceptance.

privacy rights. If such initiatives result in restrictive legislation, the market for biometric solutions may be adversely affected. Even if biometric solutions gain wide market acceptance, our products and services may not adequately address the requirements of the market and may not gain wide market acceptance.

We face intense competition from other biometric solution providers as well as identification and security systems providers.

A significant number of established and startup companies have developed or are developing and marketing software and hardware for facial and/or fingerprint biometric ~~security~~products ~~applications~~and applications that currently compete or will compete directly with our current facial and fingerprint ~~security and identity related line of products and applications~~offerings. Some of these companies have developed or are developing and marketing semiconductor or optically ~~based~~ based direct contact fingerprint image capture devices, or retinal blood vessel, iris pattern, hand geometry, voice or various types of facial structure solutions. If one or more of ~~these~~ these technologies or approaches were widely adopted, it would significantly reduce the potential market for our products. Our security and identity related line of products and applications also compete with non-biometric technologies such as certificate authorities, smart card security solutions, and ~~traditional~~ traditional key, card, surveillance systems and passwords. Many competitors offering products that are competitive with our security and identity related line of products and applications have significantly more financial and other resources than the Company. The biometric security market is a rapidly evolving and intensely competitive market, and we believe that additional competitors ~~will~~ will continue to enter the market and become significant long-term competitors.

Our facial biometric products face intense competition from a number of competitors who are actively engaged in developing and marketing facial-based recognition or security products,. ~~including~~Among these competitors are Viisage Technology, Inc., ~~Cognitech~~ Cognitec Systems GmbH and Imagis Technologies, Inc. The products designed, developed and sold under our line of products known as our “~~Imaging”~~live scan” products also face intense ~~competition from a number of competitors who are actively engaged in developing~~ ~~and marketing Live Scan products, including Heimann Biometric Systems GmbH,~~ ~~Sagem Morpho, Inc., Printrak International, Inc., (a Motorola company), and~~ ~~CrossMatch Technologies, Inc.~~

~~We expect competition to increase and intensify in the near term in the~~19 biometrics markets. Companies competing with us may introduce products that are competitively priced, that have increased performance or functionality or that incorporate technological advances not yet developed or implemented by us. Some present and potential competitors have financial, marketing, research, and manufacturing resources substantially greater than ours.

In order to compete effectively in this environment, we must continually design, develop and market new and enhanced products at competitive prices and must have the resources available to invest in significant research and development activities. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial results and stock price.

We derive a majority of our services revenue from government contracts, which are often non-standard, involve competitive bidding, may be subject to cancellation without penalty and may produce volatility in earnings and revenue.

Our performance in any one reporting period is not necessarily indicative of sale trends or future operating or earnings performance because of our reliance on a small number of large customers, the majority of which are government agencies. Government contracts frequently include provisions that are not standard in private commercial transactions. For example, government contracts may include bonding requirements and provisions permitting the purchasing agency to cancel the contract at any time without penalty in certain circumstances. As public agencies, our prospective customers are also subject to public agency contract requirements that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some of these requirements may be onerous or impossible to satisfy.

In addition, public agency contracts are frequently awarded only after formal competitive bidding processes, which have been and may continue to be protracted, and typically impose provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds are unavailable to the public agency. There is a risk that we may not be awarded any of the competitive bidding processes, which have been and may continue to be protracted and expensive. In some cases, unsuccessful bidders for public agency contracts are provided the opportunity to formally protest certain contract awards through various agency, administrative and judicial channels. The protest process may delay a successful bidder’s contract performance for a number of weeks, months or more, or cancel the contract award entirely. Although we have not previously experienced a substantial number of contract delays or cancellations due to protest initiated by losing bidders, there is a risk that we may not be awarded contracts for which we bid or, if awarded, that substantial delays or cancellation of purchases may follow as a result of such protests. For example, the Company was recently awarded a Blanket Purchase Order from the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) with an estimated value of approximately $27 million, and such award was the subject of a formal protest by one of our competitors. As a result of the protest, DHS decided to undertake a new evaluation of previously submitted proposals. There can be no assurance such new evaluation process will not result in substantial delays in purchases under the DHA award or in the cancellation of all or part of the Blanket Purchase Award itself. In addition, local government agency contracts may be contingent upon availability of matching funds from federal or state entities. Also, law enforcement and other government agencies are subject to political, budgetary, purchasing and delivery constraints which may continue to result in quarterly and annual revenues and operating results that may be irregular and difficult to predict. Such revenue volatility makes management of inventory levels, cash flow and profitability inherently difficult. In addition, if we are successful in winning such procurements, there may be unevenness in shipping schedules, as well as potential delays and schedule changes in the timing of deliveries and recognition of revenue, or cancellation of such procurements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2003, we derived approximately 70% of our services revenue directly from contracts relating to the Department of Defense and other U.S. Government agencies. The loss of a material government contract due to budget cuts or otherwise could have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price. For example, in January 2003, we were notified that our service business would not be awarded a contract to continue providing professional support services and material acquisition support to

~~the~~competition ~~Naval~~from ~~Sea Systems Command. The original contract was~~ a ~~cost~~number ~~plus~~of ~~fixed~~competitors ~~fee~~who ~~award~~are ~~that~~actively ~~expired~~engaged ~~on June 30, 2003.

We derive a significant amount of our revenue from government contracts, which are often non-standard, involve competitive bidding, may be subject to cancellation without penalty and may produce volatility in earnings and revenue.

Our performance in any one reporting period is not necessarily indicative of sale trends or future operating or earnings performance because of our reliance on a small number of large customers, the majority of which are government agencies. Government contracts frequently include provisions that are not standard in private commercial transactions. For example, government contracts may include bonding requirements and provisions permitting the purchasing agency to cancel the contract for convenience at any time without penalty in certain circumstances. As public agencies, our prospective customers are also subject to public agency contract requirements that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some of these requirements may be onerous or impossible to satisfy.

Additionally, public agency contracts are frequently awarded only after formal competitive bidding processes, which are often protracted, and typically impose provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds are unavailable to the public agency. In some cases, unsuccessful bidders for public agency contracts are provided the opportunity to formally protest certain contract awards through various agency, administrative and judicial channels. The protest process may delay a successful bidder’s contract performance for a number of weeks, months or more, or result in the cancellation of the contract award entirely. There is a risk that we may not be awarded contracts for which we bid or, if awarded, that substantial delays or cancellation of purchases may follow as a result of third party protests. For example, in October 2003, the Company announced that is had been awarded a Blanket Purchase Order (“BPO”) from the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) with an estimated value of approximately $27 million. The award was subsequently protested by one of our competitors who had been an unsuccessful participant in the bidding process for the BPO. Though the protest was ultimately resolved in favor of Identix, the protest resulted in substantial delays in DHS’ procurement of our technology under the BPO. Similar protests, and similar delays, regarding any future government contracts of a material nature that may be awarded to Identix could result in materially adverse revenue volatility, making management of inventory levels, cash flow and profitability or loss inherently difficult. Outright loss of any material government contract, such as the BPO award to Identix, through the protest process or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and stock price.

Similar to federal government contracts, state and local government agency contracts may be contingent upon availability of matching funds from federal, state or local entities. State and local law enforcement and other government agencies are subject to political, budgetary, purchasing and delivery constraints which may continue to result in quarterly and annual revenues and operating results that may be irregular and difficult to predict. Such revenue volatility makes management of inventory levels, cash flow and profitability inherently difficult. In addition, if we are successful in winning such procurements, there may be unevenness in shipping schedules, as well as potential delays and schedule changes in the timing of deliveries and recognition of revenue, or cancellation of such procurements.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, we derived approximately 27% of our revenue directly from contracts relating to the U.S. Federal Government with one agency making up 19% and 16% of total revenues during the respective periods. The loss of a material government contract due to budget cuts or otherwise could have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price.

Our financial and operating results often vary significantly from quarter to quarter and may be negatively affected by a number of factors.

Our financial and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter because of the following reasons:

• the lack of or delays in authorization for availability of government funds; • reduced demand for products and services caused, for example, by ~~competitors;~~product •offerings ~~price reductions, new competitors, or the introduction of enhanced products or services~~ from new ~~or existing~~ competitors; • ~~changes in~~ the ~~mix~~inability ofto ~~products~~timely and ~~services~~successfully we(i) orcomplete ~~our~~development ~~distributors~~of ~~sell;~~complex ~~• cancellations~~designs, ~~delays~~components orand ~~contract~~products ~~amendments~~(ii) bycomplete ~~government~~new ~~agency~~product ~~customers;~~introductions •that ~~unforeseen~~may ~~legal~~result ~~expenses,~~in ~~including~~improved ~~litigation~~gross ~~and/~~margins or ~~administrative~~the ~~protest~~inability ~~costs;~~to •manufacture ~~expenses~~in ~~related~~volume ~~to acquisitions~~ or ~~mergers;~~install •certain ~~impairment charges arising out~~ of our ~~assessments~~complex ofproducts, ~~goodwill~~on ~~and~~a ~~intangibles;~~timely •basis ~~other~~or ~~one-time~~(iii) ~~financial~~obtain ~~charges;~~relevant •government ~~the~~agency ~~lack~~certifications offor ~~availability~~newly orintroduced ~~increase~~products inon ~~cost~~a oftimely ~~key components and subassemblies~~basis; ~~and~~manufacture •in ~~the~~volume ~~inability to timely~~ and ~~successfully~~install ~~complete~~certain ~~development~~ of ~~complex~~our ~~designs~~products. ~~and~~• ~~components,~~changes orin ~~manufacture~~the inmix ~~volume~~of products and ~~install~~services ~~certain~~we ofor our ~~products.~~distributors sell;

~~Particularly important is the need to invest in planned technical~~20 development programs to maintain and enhance our competitiveness, and to successfully develop and launch new products and services on a timely basis. Improving the manageability and likelihood of success of such programs requires the development of budgets, plans and schedules for the execution of these programs and the adherence to such budgets, plans and schedules. The majority of such program costs are payroll and related staff expenses, and secondarily materials, subcontractors and promotional expenses. These costs are very difficult to adjust in response to short-term fluctuations in our revenues, compounding the difficulty of achieving profitability in the event of a revenue downturn.

Our results of operations may be harmed by availability of governmental funding, credit and other policies.

In many instances, the procurements of our federal, state and local customers are dependent on the availability or continued availability of federal, state or local government funds or grants and general tax funding. Such funding may not be approved or, if approved, it may not be available for the purchase of our products or solutions, and even if such funding is approved and available, such funds may be subject to termination at any time at the sole discretion of the government body providing or receiving such funds.

We also extend substantial credit to federal, state and local governments in connection with sales of our products and services. Sales to sizeable customers requiring large and sophisticated networks of fingerprint recognition and Live Scan systems and peripheral equipment often include technical requirements which may not be fully known at the time requirements are specified by the customer. In addition, contracts may specify performance criteria that must be satisfied before the customer accepts the products and services. Collection of accounts receivable may be dependent on completion of customer requirements, which may be unpredictable, subject to change by the customer, and not fully understood by us at the time of acceptance of the order, and may involve investment of additional resources. These

~~investments~~• the readiness of ~~additional~~ ~~resources~~customers ~~are~~to ~~accrued~~accept ~~when~~delivery ~~amounts~~of ~~can~~new beproducts ~~estimated~~on ~~but~~a ~~may~~timely ~~be uncompensated~~basis ~~and~~or ~~negatively~~the ~~affect~~cancellations, ~~profit~~delays ~~margins~~or contract amendments by government agency customers; • protests of federal, state or local government contract awards by competitors; • unforeseen legal expenses, including litigation and/or administrative protest costs; • expenses related to acquisitions or mergers; • impairment charges arising out of our ~~liquidity~~assessments of goodwill and intangibles; • other one-time financial charges; and • the lack of availability or increase in cost of key components and subassemblies. • competitive pricing pressures • unpredictable product installation schedules

Particularly important is the need to invest in planned technical development programs to maintain and enhance our competitiveness, and to successfully develop and launch new products and services on a timely basis. Managing and improving the likelihood of success of such programs requires the development of budgets, plans and schedules for the execution of these programs and the adherence to such budgets, plans and schedules. The majority of such program costs are payroll and related staff expenses, and secondarily materials, subcontractors and promotional expenses. These costs are very difficult to adjust in response to short-term fluctuations in our revenues, compounding the difficulty of achieving profitability in the event of a revenue downturn.

Our results of operations may be harmed by lack of governmental funding, credit and other policies.

Additionally, without regard to termination of funding, government agencies both domestically and internationally may successfully assert the right to terminate business or funding relationships with us at their sole discretion without adequate or any compensation or recourse for us.

The substantial costs of our merger with Visionics Corporation, which was completed in June 2002, and the manner of accounting for the merger may affect Identix’ reported results of operations.

Approximately $30 million of costs have been incurred in connection with our merger with Visionics. These include costs associated with combining the businesses of the two companies, including integration and restructuring costs, costs associated with the consolidation of operations and the fees of financial advisors, attorneys and accountants. AWhile ~~significant~~the ~~portion~~vast majority of ~~these~~ costs ~~has~~associated ~~been~~with ~~charged~~the tomerger ~~expense~~are inbehind ~~the period incurred~~us, ~~which~~we ~~increased~~may ~~our~~incur ~~loss~~additional ~~under generally~~integration ~~accepted~~costs, ~~accounting principals (“GAAP”)~~ for ~~such~~example, ~~period.

There is a risk that such~~ these costs may be higher than anticipated. ~~The failure to manage such integration costs~~ ~~effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business operations,~~ ~~financial results and stock price of the combined company.~~

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually and we will be required to record a non-cash charge to earnings in the period any impairment of goodwill is determined. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, we recorded an impairment charge to goodwill in the amount of $154,799,000.

The market price of our common stock could decline.

The market price of our common stock could decline if:

• our merger with Visionics ultimately proves to be ~~ultimately~~ unsuccessful; • the combined company is unable to successfully market its products and services to both companies’ customers; • the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly as, or to the extent, anticipated by financial or industry analysts, or such analysts do not perceive the same benefits to the merger as do we; or • the effect of the merger on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

~~The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have increased financial~~21 ~~expectations that may not materialize.~~

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks may have created an increase in awareness for biometric security solutions generally. However, it is uncertain whether the actual level of demand for our biometric products and services will grow as a result of such increased awareness. Increased demand may not result in an actual increase in our product or services revenues. In addition, it is uncertain which security solutions, if any, will be adopted as a result of the terrorism and whether our products will be a part of those solutions. Efforts in the war against terrorism, the war with Iraq, and the post-reconstruction efforts in Iraq, may actually delay funding for the implementation of biometric solutions generally. Even if our products are considered or adopted as solutions to the terrorism, the level and timeliness of available funding are unclear. These factors may adversely impact us and create unpredictability in revenues and operating results.

We may need to raise additional equity or debt financing in the future.

While we believe existing working capital may be adequate to fund our operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months, we may need to raise additional debt or equity financing in the future. We may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing. If successful in raising additional financing, we may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilative to existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial performance and stock price and require us to implement certain cost reduction initiatives and curtail certain of our operations.

We face substantial competition from professional service providers of all sizes in the government marketplace.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Identix Public Sector, Inc. (“IPS”), is increasingly being required to bid on firm fixed price and similar contracts that result in greater performance risk to IPS. If IPS is not able to maintain a competitive cost structure, support specialized market niches, retain highly qualified personnel or align with technology leaders, we may lose our ability to compete successfully in the services business.

	•	the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly as, or to the extent, anticipated by financial or industry analysts, or such analysts do not perceive the same benefits to the merger as do we; or

	•	the effect of the merger on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continuing threat of global terrorism, have increased financial expectations that may not materialize.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and continuing concerns about global terrorism, may have created an increase in awareness for biometric security solutions generally. However, it is uncertain whether the actual level of demand for our biometric products and services will grow as a result of such increased awareness. Increased demand may not result in an actual increase in our revenues. In addition, it is uncertain which security solutions, if any, will be adopted as a result of the terrorism and whether our products will be a part of those solutions. Efforts in the war against terrorism, the war in Iraq, and the post-war reconstruction efforts in Iraq, may actually delay funding for the implementation of biometric solutions generally. Even if our products are considered or adopted as solutions to the terrorism, the level and timeliness of available funding are unclear. These factors may adversely impact us and create unpredictability in revenues and operating results.

We may need to raise additional equity or debt financing in the future.

While we believe existing working capital will be adequate to fund our operating cash requirements for at least the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional debt or equity financing in the future, which may not be available to us. Even if we are successful in raising additional financing, we may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilutive to existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and stock price and require us to implement certain cost reduction initiatives resulting in the curtailment of our operations.

The biometrics industry is characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, which could render existing products obsolete.

Our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce a variety of new products and services and enhancements to these new product and services in order to address the changing and sophisticated needs of the marketplace. Frequently, technical development programs in the biometric industry require assessments to be made of the future directions of technology and technology markets generally, which are inherently risky and difficult to predict. Delays in introducing new products, services and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products and services at competitive prices may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and services and purchase those of our competitors.

Continued participation by us in the market for Live Scan systems that are linked to forensic quality databases under the jurisdiction of governmental agencies may require the investment of our resources in upgrading our products and technology for us to compete and to meet regulatory and statutory standards. We may not have adequate resources available to us or may not adequately keep pace with appropriate requirements in order to effectively compete in the marketplace.

Our lengthy and variable sales cycle will make it difficult to predict operating results.

Certain of our products often have a lengthy sales cycle while the customer evaluates and receives approvals for purchase. If, after expending significant funds and effort, we fail to receive an order, a negative impact on our financial results and stock price could result.

It is difficult to predict accurately the sales cycle of any large order for any of our products. If we do not ship and or install one or more large orders as forecast for a fiscal quarter, our total revenues and operating results for that quarter could be materially and adversely affected.

The substantial lead-time required for ordering parts and materials may lead to excess or insufficient inventory.

The lead-time for ordering parts and materials and building many of our products can be many months. As a result, we must order parts and materials and build our products based on forecasted demand. If demand for our products lags significantly behind our forecasts, we may produce more products than we can sell, which can result in cash flow problems and write-offs or write-downs of obsolete inventory.

We rely in part upon original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and distribution partners to distribute our products, and we may be adversely affected if those parties do not actively promote our products or pursue installations that use our equipment.

A significant portion of our ~~product~~ revenue comes from sales to partners including ~~OEM~~OEMs, systems integrators, distributors and resellers. Some, but not all, of these relationships are formalized in written agreements. Even where these relationships are formalized in written agreements, the agreements are often terminable with little or no notice and subject to periodic amendment. We cannot control the amount and timing of resources that our partners devote to activities on our behalf.

We intend to continue to seek strategic relationships to distribute, license and sell certain of our products. We, however, may not be able to negotiate acceptable relationships in the future and cannot predict whether current or future relationships will be successful.

Loss of sole or limited source suppliers may result in delays or additional expenses.

We obtain certain hardware components and complete products, as well as software applications, from a single source or a limited group of suppliers. We do not have long-term agreements with any of our suppliers. We will experience significant delays in manufacturing and shipping of products to customers if we lose these sources or if supplies from these sources are delayed.

As a result, we may be required to incur additional development, manufacturing and other costs to establish alternative sources of supply. It may take several months to locate alternative suppliers, if required, or to re-tool our products to accommodate components from different suppliers. We cannot predict if we will be able to obtain replacement components within the time frames we require at an affordable cost, or at all. Any delays resulting from suppliers failing to deliver components or products on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and of sufficient quality or any significant increase in the price of components from existing or alternative suppliers could have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price.

The success of our strategic plan to pursue sales in international markets may be limited by risks related to conditions in such markets.

For the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, ~~2003,~~2004 we derived approximately 69% and 10% of our product revenues from international sales. We currently have a local presence in the United Kingdom ~~and the Commonwealth of Australia~~.

There is a risk that we may not be able to successfully market, sell and deliver our products in foreign countries, or successfully rely on supplemental offshore research and development resources.

Risks inherent in marketing, selling and delivering products in foreign and international markets, each of which could have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price, include those associated with:

	•	regional economic or political conditions;

	•	delays in or absolute prohibitions on exporting products resulting from export restrictions for certain products and technologies, including “crime control” products and encryption technology;

	•	loss of, or delays in importing products, services and intellectual property developed abroad, resulting from unstable or fluctuating social, political or governmental conditions;

	•	fluctuations in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar;

	•	loss of revenue, property (including intellectual property) and equipment from expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection, terrorism, criminal acts and other political and social risks;

	•	the overlap of different tax structures;

	•	seasonal reductions in business activity;

	•	risks of increases in taxes and other government fees; and

	•	involuntary renegotiations of contracts with foreign governments.

In addition, foreign laws treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from laws in the United States and may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as U.S. laws. The failure of foreign laws or judicial systems to adequately protect our proprietary rights or intellectual property, including intellectual property developed on our behalf by foreign contractors or subcontractors may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial results and stock price.

~~Two~~Individual stockholders ~~own~~owning a significant portion of our stock ~~and~~ may have the ability to delay or prevent a change in control or adversely affect the stock price through sales in the open market.

As of ~~September~~December 3031, ~~2003~~2004, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, Kern Capital Management LLC and ~~Mazama~~Artemis ~~Capital~~Investment Management, ~~L.L.C~~LLC owned approximately 98%, 4% and 54% ~~respectively~~ of the Company’s outstanding common stock, respectively. The concentration of large percentages of ownership in any single stockholder, or in any series of single stockholders, may delay or prevent change in control of the Company. Additionally, the sale of a significant number of our shares in the open market by a single stockholders ~~stockholder~~ or otherwise could adversely affect our stock price.

We may be subject to loss in market share and market acceptance as a result of manufacturing errors, delays or shortages.

~~Performance failure in our products or certain of our services may cause~~23 loss of market share, delay in or loss of market acceptance, additional warranty expense or product recall, or other contractual liabilities. The complexity of certain of our fingerprint readers makes the manufacturing and assembly process of such products, especially in volume, complex. This may in turn lead to delays or shortages in the availability of certain products, or, in some cases, the unavailability of certain products. The negative effects of any delay or failure could be exacerbated if the delay or failure occurs in products or services that provide personal security, secure sensitive computer data, authorize significant financial transactions or perform other functions where a security breach could have significant consequences.

If a product or service launch is delayed or is the subject of an availability shortage because of problems with our ability to manufacture or assemble the product or service successfully on a timely basis, or if a product or service otherwise fails to meet performance criteria, we may lose revenue opportunities entirely and/or experience delays in revenue recognition associated with a product or service in addition to incurring higher operating expenses during the period required to correct the defects. There is a risk that for unforeseen reasons we may be required to repair or replace a substantial number of products in use or to reimburse customers for products that fail to work or meet strict performance criteria. We carry product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate to cover potential claims.

We may be subject to repair, replacement, reimbursement and liability claims as a result of products that fail to work or to meet applicable performance criteria.

There is a risk that for unforeseen reasons we may be required to repair or replace a substantial number of products in use or to reimburse customers for products that fail to work or meet strict performance criteria. We attempt to limit remedies for product or service failure to the repair or replacement of malfunctioning or noncompliant products or services, and also attempt to exclude or minimize exposure to product and related liabilities by including in our standard agreements warranty disclaimers and disclaimers for consequential and related damages as well as limitations on our aggregate liability. From time to time, in certain complex sale or licensing transactions, we may negotiate liability provisions that vary from such standard forms. There is a risk that our contractual provisions may not adequately minimize our product and related liabilities or that such provisions may be unenforceable. We carry product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate to cover potential claims. We maintain warranty reserves as deemed adequate by management.

Failure by us to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, intellectual property and manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, stock price, and on our ability to compete effectively.

We principally rely upon patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and contract law to establish and protect our proprietary rights. There is a risk that claims allowed on any patents or trademarks we hold may not be broad enough to protect our technology. In addition, our patents or trademarks may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and we cannot be certain that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to us. Moreover, any current or future issued or licensed patents, or trademarks, or currently existing or future developed trade secrets or know-how may not afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technologies or processes, and the possibility exists that certain of our already issued patents or trademarks may infringe upon third party patents or trademarks or be designed around by others. In addition, there is a risk that others may independently develop proprietary technologies and processes, which are the same as, substantially equivalent or superior to ours, or become available in the market at a lower price.

There is a risk that we have infringed or in the future will infringe patents or trademarks owned by others, that we will need to acquire licenses under patents or trademarks belonging to others for technology potentially useful or necessary to us, and that licenses will not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

We may have to litigate to enforce our patents or trademarks or to determine the scope and validity of other parties’ proprietary rights. Litigation could be very costly and divert management’s attention. An adverse outcome in any litigation may have a severe negative ~~impact~~effect on our financial results and stock price. To determine the priority of inventions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or oppositions in foreign patent and trademark offices, which could result in substantial cost us and limitations on the scope or validity of our patents or trademarks.

We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how, which we seek to protect by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, service providers and third parties. There is a risk that these agreements may be breached, and that the remedies available to us may not be adequate. In addition, our trade secrets and proprietary know-how may otherwise become known to or be independently discovered by others.

If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative ~~impact~~effect on our financial results or stock price.

Our management believes that in order to be successful we must appropriately manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods, and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. In addition, we will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient ~~and~~ and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant cost reductions or ~~growth~~ effectively provide for our growth.

Acquisitions and dispositions of companies, assets or technologies may result in disruptions to our business.

As part of our business ~~strategy~~roadmap, we may ~~acquire~~from ~~assets~~time ~~and~~to time acquire businesses, assets or ~~principally~~technologies relating to, or complementary to, our current ~~operations.~~strategies Weor ~~merged with Visionics in June 2002 and acquired Identicator Technology~~operations, ~~Inc. (“Identicator Technology”) in fiscal 1999, one company in fiscal 1998~~ and ~~two companies~~we ~~in fiscal 1996.

These risks include, among other things:~~

• exposure to unknown liabilities of acquired companies; • higher than anticipated acquisition costs and expenses; • effects of costs and expenses of acquiring and integrating new businesses on our operating results and financial condition; • the difficulty and expense of assimilating the operations and personnel of the companies; • disruption of our ongoing business; • diversion of management time and attention; • failure to maximize our financial and strategic position by the successful incorporation of acquired technology; • the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; • loss of key employees and customers as a result of changes in management; • the incurrence of amortization expenses;24

•In ~~incurring~~March 2004, ~~impairment~~we ~~charges~~acquired ~~arising~~certain ~~out~~technology and intellectual property rights of Delean Vision Worldwide, Inc. In February 2004, we acquired the remaining 50% percent interest in Sylvan Identix Fingerprint Centers, LLC (“SIFC”) that we didn’t already own. We subsequently re-named SIFC to Identix Identification Services, LLC. In February 2004, we sold our ~~assessments~~wholly owned subsidiary, Identix Public Sector, Inc., whose business principally consisted of ~~goodwill~~providing project management and ~~intangibles~~facilities engineering services to government agencies. We acquired certain proprietary software and; •source ~~possible~~code ~~dilution~~assets tofrom ~~our~~a ~~stockholders~~third party in October 2002. We merged with Visionics in June 2002 and acquired Identicator Technology, Inc. in fiscal 1999. We also acquired one company in fiscal 1998 and two companies in fiscal 1996. These and any other acquisitions, mergers and divestitures by Identix are and will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in such transactions. These risks include, among other things:

	•	exposure to unknown liabilities of acquired companies or assets;

	•	higher than anticipated acquisition costs and expenses;

	•	effects of costs and expenses of acquiring and integrating new businesses on our operating results and financial condition;

	•	effects of consolidated revenue loss associated with dispositions of material subsidiaries or assets;

	•	effects of costs and expenses of integrating and introducing new technologies;

	•	the difficulty and expense of assimilating the operations and personnel of the companies;

	•	disruption of our ongoing business;

	•	diversion of management time and attention;

	•	failure to maximize our financial and strategic position by the successful incorporation of acquired technology;

	•	failure to realize the potential of acquired technologies, complete product development, or properly obtain or secure appropriate protection of intellectual property rights;

	•	the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

	•	loss of key employees and customers as a result of changes in management;

	•	the incurrence of amortization expenses;

	•	incurring impairment charges arising out of our assessments of goodwill and intangibles; and

	•	possible dilution to our stockholders.

In addition, geographic distances may make integration of businesses or the acquisition of assets more difficult. We may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any mergers or acquisitions.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must contain (i) a statement of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, (ii) a statement identifying the framework used by management to conduct the required evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, (iii) management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our most recent fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not internal control over financial reporting is effective, and (iv) a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

Management acknowledges its responsibility for internal controls over financial reporting and seeks to continually improve those controls. In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we are engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, management will need to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to (i) assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, (ii) take steps to improve control processes where appropriate, (iii) validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and (iv) implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, we can provide no assurance as to our, or our independent registered public accounting firm, conclusions as of June 30, 2005 with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404. There is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude at or around June 30, 2005 that our internal controls over financial

reporting are effective as required by Section 404. This could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

If we fail to attract and retain qualified senior executive and key technical personnel, our business will not be able to expand.

We are dependent on the continued availability of the services of our employees, many of whom are individually key to our future success, and the availability of new employees to implement our business plans. The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in ~~technical~~ technical fields. Although our compensation programs are intended to attract and retain ~~the~~ the employees required for us to be successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all ofour ~~the~~ key employees or a sufficient number to execute our plans, nor can there be any ~~assurances~~assurance ~~that~~ we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.

Our personnel may voluntarily terminate their relationship with us at any time, and competition for qualified personnel, especially engineers, is intense. The process of locating additional personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy could be lengthy, costly and disruptive.

If we lose the services of key personnel, or fail to replace the services of key personnel who depart, we could experience a severe negative ~~impact~~effect on our financial results and stock price. In addition, there is intense competition for highly qualified engineering and marketing personnel in ~~the~~ the locations where we principally operate. The loss of the services of any key engineering, marketing or other personnel or our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating and financial results and stock price.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk. The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash equivalents, marketable securities and ~~lines~~line of credit. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in money market accounts and high quality bonds with major financial institutions. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of the Company’s cash equivalents, and marketable securities, their carrying value approximates fair market value. The Company has performed an analysis to assess the potential effect of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates. The effect of such rate changes is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

~~The~~If the Company ~~primarily~~ enters into debt obligations it is primarily to support general ~~corporate~~ corporate purposes including working capital requirements and capital expenditures. The Company is subject to fluctuating interest rates that may impact, adversely or otherwise, its results of operation or cash flows for its variable rate lines of credit and cash equivalents. As noted previously, the Company has not drawn on its line of credit during the periods presented.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. Certain of the Company’s foreign revenues, cost of revenues and marketing expenses are transacted in local currencies, primarily the British Pound. As a result, the Company’s results of operations and certain receivables and payables are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not currently hedge against foreign currency rate fluctuations. Gains and losses from such fluctuations have not been material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations or balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during our first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
