Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2023, the results of operations, and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements. Results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “authoritative guidance” is to the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") to measure credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate can now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past
events and current conditions. The guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of certain amendments of this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company concluded that the adoption of this standard, on January 1, 2023, did not have a material impact on its financial statements because of the short-term nature of its outstanding accounts receivable and there have been no significant forward-looking economic conditions identified by the Company that would impact its short-term investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include impairment consideration and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition (including breakage revenue) and the fair value of stock options under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates. ASC 718 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for equity payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for all equity payment transactions with employees.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of employee-related expenses (such as salaries, taxes, benefits and stock-based compensation), allocated overhead costs and outside services costs related to the development and improvement of the Company's SaaS applications.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Effective January 1, 2023 Intellicheck is required to apply the new standard ASU 2016-13, codified as ASC 326. This impacts how the allowance for doubtful accounts is being calculated. Prior to ASC-326, Intellicheck would not recognize a bad debt expense until the loss from customer non-payment was probable of occurring. Under the new model, Intellicheck’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s estimate of all expected future losses from its current customer balances. Under the new guidance, the Company has applied a loss rate method which takes historical data as the basis for calculating the allowance amount, along with accounting for other factors like current and forecasted market conditions, and potential future impacts to the industry. In estimating whether accounts receivable can be collected, the Company performs evaluations of customers and continuously monitors collections and payments and estimates an allowance for credit losses based on collections experience to date and any specific collection issues that have been identified. The allowance for credit losses is recorded in the period in which revenue is recorded or when collection risk is identified.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify time deposits and other investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of both cash on deposits with banks, which are maintained with major financial institutions in the United States, and money market funds. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000, however amounts may exceed FDIC insured limits.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments include investments in U.S. treasury notes. Debt investments with original maturities at the date of purchase greater than approximately three months but less than a year are classified as short-term investments, as they represent the investment of cash available for current operations. All short-term investments that the Company holds are classified as "held-to-maturity". See Note 3 for more detail and a breakdown of the Company's short-term investments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years using the straight-line method. See Note 4.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter on December 31st, or between annual tests, in certain circumstances. Under authoritative guidance, the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other entity specific events and sustained decrease in share price.
The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined no triggering events existed and as such no impairment charge was required.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include patents, copyrights, and developed technology. The Company amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as it represents the pattern of economic benefits consumed. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. There were no impairment charges recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, were $371 and $390 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising costs were $172 and $241 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses on the Statements of Operations.
Retirement Plan
The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan ("Retirement Plan"). The Retirement Plan permits eligible employees to make voluntary contributions to a trust, up to a maximum of 35% of compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Company has elected to contribute a matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 6% of an eligible employee’s deferral election. The Company’s matching contributions were $54 and $60 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s matching contributions were $27 and $31 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs were recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses on the Statements of Operations.
Shipping Costs
The Company’s shipping and handling costs related to sales are included in cost of revenues for all periods presented. All other shipping and handling costs are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses on the Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as it is more likely than not these assets may not be fully realized due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” which requires the Company to calculate the fair value of financial instruments and include this additional information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of those financial instruments is different than the book value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value, due to their short-term nature. FASB guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. The Company's Level 1 assets consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term investments totaling $9.1 and $10.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. The Company had $79 and $54 of Level 2 liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively, for the liability-classified stock options. The fair value of these awards were determined by utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when the fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
General
Most license fees and services revenue are generated from a combination of fixed-price and per-scan contracts. Under the per-scan revenue model, customers are charged a fee each time the customer scans an identity document, such as a driver’s license, with the Company’s software. Under the fixed-price revenue model customers are charged a fixed monthly fee either per device or physical business location to access the Company’s software. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in a customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in an arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of the Company’s services as they are performed. Substantially all customer contracts provide that the Company is compensated for services performed to date.
During 2021, the Company adopted an additional revenue model where customers purchase a predetermined number of transactions for the term of the contract. Revenue for these transactions is recognized on a per transaction basis. The Company estimates the amount of unused transactions at the end of each contract period and recognizes a portion of
that revenue as breakage revenue each reporting period. If the Company expects the customer to use all transactions in the specified service period, the Company will recognize the transaction price as revenue in the specified service period as the promised units of service are transferred to the customer. Alternatively, if the Company expects that the customer cannot or will not use all transactions in the specified service period (referred to as “breakage”), the Company will recognize the estimated breakage amount as revenue ratably over the service period in proportion to the revenue that the Company will recognize for actual transactions used by the customer in the service period. Actual results could differ from estimates and as such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Invoicing is based on schedules established in customer contracts. Payment terms are generally established from 30 to 60 days from the invoice date. Product returns are estimated and recorded as a reduction to revenue, however, such amounts have been immaterial.
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of the products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each:
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Software as a service (SaaS) for hosted subscription services allows customers to access a set of data for a predetermined period of time. As the customer obtains access at a point in time but continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Accordingly, the revenue should be recognized over time, under the fixed pricing model, based on the usage of the hosted subscription services, which can vary from month to month. Under the per-scan revenue model, the customer requires access to the Company's hosted subscription service but revenue is recognized each time the customer scans an identity document.
Equipment Revenue
Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized at a point in time. The point in time that the revenue is recognized is when the customer has control of the equipment which is when the customer receives the benefit and the Company’s performance obligation has been satisfied. Depending on the contract terms, that could either be at the time the equipment is shipped or at the time the equipment is received. When sales of equipment occur, we recognize shipping and handling costs with the sales of equipment that are recognized as revenue.
Other Revenue
Other Revenues, which historically have not been material, consist primarily of revenues from other subscription and support services, and extended warranties. The Company’s revenues from other subscription and support services includes jurisdictional updates to certain commercial customers and support services particularly to its Defense ID® customers. These subscriptions require continuing service or post contractual customer support and performance. As the customer obtains access at a point in time but continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. Accordingly, the revenue should be recognized over time based on usage, which can vary from month to month. The revenue is typically based on a formula such as number of locations in a given month multiplied by a fee per location.

Extended warranty revenues are generated when a warranty is provided to the customer separately of other performance obligations when the equipment is sold. As the customer obtains access at a point in time and continues to have access for the remainder of the warranty term, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. The related revenue is recognized ratably over the specified term of the warranty period. The extended warranty is separate to the Company’s standard warranty of usually one year that it receives from its vendor.

The current portion of deferred revenue at June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $1,319, $906 and $1,266, respectively, and primarily consists of revenue recognized over time for software license contracts and hosted subscription services. The changes in these balances are related to purchases of a predetermined number of transactions, partially offset by the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of these contracts. Of the December 31, 2022 balance, $250 and $592 were recognized as revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

All consideration from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented above.
Business Concentrations and Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with two financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions.
The Company’s sales are principally made to large retail customers, financial institutions concentrated in the United States of America and to U.S. government entities. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations, generally does not require collateral, and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends, and other information.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company made sales to three customers that accounted for approximately 48% of total revenues, 22%, 13% and 13%, respectively. The revenue was primarily associated with commercial identity sales customers. These three customers, in addition with one other customer, represented 63% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2023, 37%, 8%, 1%, and 17% respectively. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company made sales to three customers that accounted for approximately 53% of total revenues, 22%, 18% and 13%, respectively. These three customers, in addition with one other customer, represented 70% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2022, 24%, 19%, 9% and 18%, respectively. That revenue was also associated with commercial identity sales customers.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, warrants and restricted stock is reflected in diluted earnings
per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares. In periods of a net loss, all common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive.
