Sequiam Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 -Description of Business

Sequiam Corporation (“Sequiam” or the “Company”) through its wholly owned subsidiaries, develops, markets, and supports a portfolio of biometric fingerprint unlocking devices that enable users to gain access using their personal identity. The Company also provides internet access and hosting services and custom software development services.

The Company's operations are divided into two distinct operating segments: Safety and Security and Information Management. The Safety and Security segment includes the Company’s biometric technology products. The Information Management segment includes all non-biometric technology products.

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses since inception, which have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $24,197,000 as of March 31, 2007. In addition, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $2,541,000 as of March 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses, as well as the growth of the business, primarily through debt and stock offerings. The Company entered into a new financing arrangement during March 2007 and is continuing to attempt to increase revenues through sales and licensing of its biometric security products. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.
 
Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company, under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the Company included in Form 10-KSB filed for the year ended December 31, 2006. Interim results of operations for the periods presented may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, adjusted for the assumed repurchase of the Company’s common stock, at the average market price, from the exercise proceeds and also may include incremental shares issuable in connection with convertible securities. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had 140,156,946 potentially dilutive common shares as a result of warrants and options granted and convertible preferred stock issued.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sequiam Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.



 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2007, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans (the “Plans”) which are described more fully in Note 8. 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment”, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R). Accordingly, results for prior periods have not been restated.

  As a result of adopting Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s net losses for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $34,247 and $29,779 higher, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted net losses per common share for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 would have remained $0.01 and $0.02, respectively, if the Company had not adopted Statement 123(R). Also, there was no change in cash used in operating activities and cash provided by financing activities as a result of adopting Statement 123(R).

Note 3 - Business Combination

On January 8, 2007, the Company acquired 80% of the outstanding shares (“the Purchase Shares”) of Magstone Innovation, Inc., a foreign owned Chinese corporation (“Magstone”), pursuant to an amended and restated stock purchase agreement dated January 8, 2007 by and among Sequiam, Magstone and Shixiong Chen (“the Sole Shareholder”) of Magstone (the “Magstone Acquisition”).

In exchange for the Purchase Shares owned by the Sole Shareholder, Sequiam issued and delivered to the Sole Shareholder an Installment Note Payable in the amount of $150,000 bearing interest at eight percent per annum, payable in three quarterly installments of $50,000 beginning April 1, 2007. The note is secured by the Purchase Shares. Sequiam also agreed to repay Magstone’s debt to ETI Hong Kong for HKD 1,400,000 (approximately $185,000 USD). As additional consideration, Magstone distributed to the Sole Shareholder the following: all trademarks owned by Magstone and Magstone’s 30% ownership in the Chinese Joint Venture known as New Era Biometrics. The Sole Shareholder shall pay to Magstone 9% of any distributions paid to the Sole Shareholder by the Joint Venture until such time as the Sole Shareholder no longer serves as President of Magstone.

The following table summarizes the estimated carrying values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

Current assets

Property and equipment
79,082
Goodwill
154,103

Long-term debt
249,064
Total liabilities assumed

Minority interest
37,500
Net assets acquired
$ 150,000

Sequiam’s results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2007 include three months of operations for Magstone. 

The Company acquired Magstone because it believes they have a talented staff of engineers and programmers who will work well with its development team in the United States.  The Company believes the acquisition allowed it to significantly and effectively increase its professional staff at a substantial cost savings from comparable United States based staffing.  Additionally, the Company believes the management of Magstone is very adept at sourcing reliable manufacturing in China for the Company’s products and at developing new business opportunities in Asia.  Based upon the foregoing, the Company negotiated a purchase price for Magstone that exceeded the Company’s net assets by $154,103, which has been recorded as goodwill within the Company's Safety and Security segment. For income tax purposes, the goodwill is amortized over a 15-year period, beginning January 2007, using the straight-line method



The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period ended March 31, 2006 assumes the acquisition of Magstone occurred as of January 1, 2006:

Revenues
$ 146,939
   
Net loss
$ 1,078,272
   
Basic and diluted net loss per common share
$ (0.02)
   
Immediately following the closing, Magstone changed its name to Sequiam East, Inc. (“SEI”).

In conjunction with the foregoing, SEI entered into an employment agreement with the Sole Shareholder to serve as its President and CEO. The term of the agreement is for eight years at a minimum annual salary of $120,000 plus an annual bonus equal to 1.25 percent of SEI’s gross sales. In addition the Company granted Mr. Chen options to purchase one million five hundred thousand shares of Sequiam Corporation common stock at $0.20 per share in accordance with its 2003 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The options will fully vest one year from the date of the agreement, or immediately in the event of any earlier termination of employment by SEI. If on December 31, 2008 the net value of the options after exercise is less than one million dollars, then the Company shall grant additional options as necessary to maintain such value.

Note 5 - Long-Term Debt

Refinancing

On March 30, 2007, the Company closed a debt transaction (the "Financing") with Biometrics Investors, LLC (“Biometrics”). Pursuant to the Financing, the Company amended and restated that Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Term Note, dated November 1, 2005, made to Lee Harrison Corbin, Attorney In Fact for the Trust under the Will of John Svenningsen, in the original principal amount plus interest and penalties of $3,965,119 (the “Original Note”), which was transferred to Biometrics, to provide for $2,500,000 of additional funding subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (“Term Loan A”). The aggregate principal amount of Term Loan A (which includes $3,965,119 from the Original Note) is $6,500,000. In connection with this financing, Biometrics provided the Company with written notice that the Company was no longer in default of the Original Note as previously reported on the current report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2007.

Term Loan A

Term Loan A shall be disbursed by Biometrics to the Company in a series of ten disbursements, each in the amount of $250,000, payable every other week, which shall be disbursed based on the Company’s satisfaction of the conditions stated in Paragraphs 4(a) and (b) of that certain Agreement by and between the Company and Biometrics, dated March 30, 2007 (the “Loan Agreement”), including the Company’s issuance to Biometrics of a warrant exercisable for 65,719,041 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Initial Warrant”). As a result of the issuance of this warrant, an original issue discount of $2,797,855 was recorded, which represented the relative fair value of the warrant. Biometrics, in its sole discretion, may elect to advance Term Loan A in greater amounts or on an accelerated funding schedule. On March 30, 2007, the Company issued the Initial Warrant to Biometrics in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

The $6,500,000 promissory note issued to Biometrics has a term of two years. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears commencing on May 1, 2007, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter at a rate of 12% per annum. The outstanding principal balance under this note, which is $3,965,119 as of March 31, 2007, is payable on April 15, 2009 and it is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets.

 
The Initial Warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. Biometrics may request and, if requested, the Company has agreed to file one or more registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the all or part of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Initial Warrant. Biometrics has not yet requested the Company to file a registration statement.

Term Loan B

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Biometrics agreed to make a second term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (“Term Loan B”). Term Loan B shall consist of a series of advances not to exceed, in the aggregate, $5,000,000, which shall be disbursed to the Company based on the Company’s satisfaction of the conditions stated in Paragraphs 4(a) and (c) of the Loan Agreement, including the issuance to Biometrics of a warrant exercisable for 39,431,424 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Additional Warrant”).

Note 8 - Stock Incentive Plans

On September 23, 2003 Sequiam executed the Sequiam Corporation 2003 Employee Stock Incentive Plan and the Sequiam Corporation 2003 Non-Employee Directors and Consultants Stock Plan (the “Plans”). These Plans are intended to allow designated officers, directors (including non-employee directors), employees and certain non-employees, including any independent contractor or consultant providing services to the Company and its Subsidiaries to receive certain options (the “Stock Options”) to purchase Sequiam common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and to receive grants of the common stock subject to certain restrictions.   The maximum number of shares of the common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plans shall be 14,000,000 and 1,000,000, respectively at March 31, 2007.

The Company may grant Stock Options in such amounts, at such times, and to the employees nominated by the management of the Company in its discretion. Stock Options granted under the Plans shall constitute “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended.

 
The purchase price (the “Exercise Price”) of shares of the common stock subject to each Stock Option shall be the fair market value of the common stock on the date the Stock Option is granted; provided, however, for designated non-statutory stock options, the Board of Directors may determine an Exercise Price at, above or below fair market value. For an employee holding greater than 10 percent of the total voting power of all stock of the Company, either common or preferred, the Exercise Price of an incentive stock option shall be at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant of the option.
 

As of March 31, 2007, no Stock Options and 250,000 shares of common stock had been granted under the Sequiam Corporation 2003 Non-Employee Directors and Consultants Stock Plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as historical information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements include those that use forward-looking terminology, such as the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” and similar expressions, including when used in the negative. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable and achievable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Current shareholders and prospective investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results for future periods could differ materially from those discussed in this report, depending on a variety of important factors, among which are our ability to implement our business strategy, our ability to compete with major established companies, the acceptance of our products in our target markets, the outcome of litigation, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to obtain financing, our ability to continue as a going concern, and other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report. Future events and actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what management expects. We will not update forward-looking statements even though its situation may change in the future.

INTRODUCTION
 
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting: (i) our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006; and (ii) financial liquidity and capital resources.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Form 10-QSB. 

We are a biometric technology company specializing in biological identification security systems. Our business is divided into two operating segments: (a) Safety and Security; and (b) Information Management.

The use of unique physical traits to verify a person's identity is known as biometric identification. Biometric identification includes fingerprinting, hand geometry, iris scanning, retinal scanning, voice recognition, face recognition and signature analysis. Biometric technology has been used for decades in government and law enforcement applications. Until recently, these systems were too expensive to manufacture to make retail marketing realistic. However, due to the development of more advanced technology, we believe that biometric identification techniques can be adapted for commercial purposes on an economically feasible basis. In addition, we believe that, as biometric technology becomes more familiar, that its use in safety and security applications will grow.

There are many alternatives in the biometrics industry that include, but are not limited to, fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, voice recognition, palm recognition, iris scanning and retinal scanning. Many providers have used these different methods in different applications. We believe that, although the biometric industry is in its infancy, biometric technology is a rapidly maturing science. Presently, although many companies have entered the biometric detection and application industry, many companies have failed to create a marketable product.

We believe that fingerprint identification is more effective at authenticating a person's identity than current processes. We also believe that fingerprint verification is less intrusive, more widely accepted and more cost effective than other available forms of biometric identification, and as a result, we believe that the use of biometrics for access control is becoming widely accepted in the marketplace.




 

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, our revenues were derived from three sources: (i) the sale and licensing of our biometric and software products; (ii) consulting, custom software and web development services; and (iii) Internet access and web hosting services. Biometric and Software product and licensing revenue are recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: (a) there is an executed license agreement, for licensing revenue, and the technology, software or product has been delivered to the customer, (b) the sale amount is fixed and payable within twelve months, (c) collection is deemed probable, and (d) product returns are deemed reasonably estimable. Custom software development and web development services are typically performed over a period ranging from a few days to a few weeks and revenue is recognized upon completion of the project. Consulting service revenues are recognized when services are performed. Internet access and web-hosting services are recognized over the period the services are provided, typically month-to-month. Cash received from customers in advance of amounts earned is deferred and recorded as a liability.

The following table shows the proportion of total revenues by segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Product sales increased by $584,703 or 551% to $690,904 in 2007, from $106,201 in 2006. This increase was due to our BioVault™ and BioLock products coming to market during the last six months of 2006. Sales of the BioVault™, BioLock, and related components and accessories during 2007 were $515,522 compared to 2006 sales of the prior version of the BioVault™ of $2,295. The increase in revenues during 2007 was also a result of an increase in sales from Constellation Biometrics Corporation from $100,250 in 2006 to $165,574 in 2007, an increase of $65,324 or 65%. Constellation’s sales consist primarily of sales of biometric products other than the BioVault™ and BioLock to customers in South Africa. The increase in Constellation’s sales is the result of improvements made to the business since new management was put in place subsequent to us acquiring the business in May 2005.

Gross margin increased to $120,261 in 2007 compared to $57,773 in 2006, an increase of $62,488. This increase was a result of the increase in product sales during 2007. However, gross margin as a percentage of product sales decreased to 17% in 2007 compared to 54% in 2006. This decrease was a result the significant increase in sales of the BioVault™, BioLock, and related components and accessories during 2007. These items had a lower gross margin than the other biometric products that comprised 2006 product sales. We plan to reduce the costs to produce a BioVault™ and BioLock, and thus increase each item’s gross margin, by reengineering these products. The increase in other product related costs during 2007 was a result of the significant increase in sales of the BioVault™, BioLock, and related components and accessories.

During the last several years we spent significant time acquiring and redeveloping our biometric technology products. As a result, we expect more significant sales of our biometric technology products during 2007 and thereafter. In addition to our own sales efforts we are looking for other companies in the industry to whom we can license our biometric technology products. We believe that this will result in an increase in the number of outlets in which these products are made available.
We believe that the following developments will have a positive impact on our future revenues:

 
On September 13, 2005, Sequiam Corporation entered into a five-year, Exclusive Co-Operative Development and Supply Agreement with Black & Decker’s subsidiary, Kwikset Corporation. The purpose of this agreement is to establish the business relationship between Kwikset and Sequiam in respect to the development, marketing and sales of biometric-enabled security door hardware and systems. Our BioLock product, which came to market during the last quarter of 2006, was developed under this agreement.

 
Effective April 10, 2006, Sequiam Biometrics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sequiam Corporation, entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Tacoma Technology, Inc. The purpose of this agreement is to provide the conditions and terms for the manufacturing and distribution of certain biometric products of Tacoma, including all of Tacoma’s biometric sensor modules. The term of this agreement is six years and may be automatically renewed for additional 24-month terms unless either party provides the other with 30-days prior notice of its desire not to renew.

 
Effective April 15, 2006, Sequiam Biometrics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sequiam Corporation, entered into an Exclusive Distribution and Manufacturing Agreement with CJCC (China Jiangsu Construction Corporation). The purpose of this agreement is to provide the conditions and terms for the distribution of certain biometric products and services of Sequiam Biometrics, Inc., including a biometric personal digital assistant. The term of this agreement is five years and may be renewed for additional 24-month terms unless either party provides the other with written notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current term.
     
 
On April 27, 2006, Sequiam Biometrics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sequiam Corporation, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Changjiang Computer Group Corporation and Magstone Innovation, Inc. The Chinese and English names of the joint venture are Shanghai Changjiang Intelligence Information Technology, LTD, and New Era Biometrics, Ltd., respectively. The joint venture is headquartered in Shanghai. The purpose of the joint venture agreement is to develop and market biometric and other information technology products and applications in China and other regions and to support Sequiam Biometrics, Inc. by providing research and development for new products. The joint venture agreement grants Sequiam Biometrics, Inc. exclusive rights to distribute those products in North America, Europe and Africa.
 
 
On April 23, 2007, we announced we added our 200th resellter location. The majority of these sales locations were added within the 60 days prior to April 23, 2007 as a result of the recent expansion of our sales and business development department.

 
 
On May 7, 2007, we announced we signed an alliance agreement with a global Fortune 100 corporation in the electronics industry.

As a result of these developments, we expect that revenues from our Safety and Security segment will continue to increase during 2007 and thereafter as we continue to focus our efforts on our biometric products.

Services Revenue and Cost of Services Revenue (Information Management Segment)

Services revenue decreased to $16,709 in 2007 compared to $40,738 in 2006, a decrease of $24,029 or 59%. This decrease was a result of our continued focus on developing our Safety and Security segment and our portfolio of biometric products. Cost of services revenue did not change significantly as it was $27,232 in 2007 compared to $26,646 in 2006.

Other Revenue (Safety and Security Segment)

This was a result of recognizing a customer deposit of $112,500 as revenue during 2007. The customer initially placed a purchase order with us and we collected a deposit from the customer for $112,500. The product shipment for this purchase order was received by us from the manufacturer in January 2007. A sales invoice was then provided to the customer that went unpaid. As a result, the customer forfeited the deposit.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $881,166 in 2007 and $725,681 in 2006, an increase of $155,485 or 21%. The increase was attributed to: a) an increase in payroll expense of $62,044; b) a $51,315 increase in non-cash and non-recurring expenses for consulting services acquired in exchange for shares of our common stock; c) an increase in research and development expenses of $33,752, which were primarily capitalized until our products first came to market during the last six months of 2006; d) an increase in inside and outside sales expense of $25,500 resulting from our products first coming to market during the last six months of 2006; and e) 2007 non-payroll related expenses of $22,446 incurred by Sequiam East, Inc, whom we acquired in January 2007. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses of $35,223.
 

Other Gains and Losses

During 2006, a gain on restructuring of debt of $13,055 was recognized. The gain represented the write-down of a note payable to the amount to be repaid to the lender, TBF Financial, LLC, which was agreed to by the lender.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $378,259 in 2007 and $345,929 in 2006, an increase of $32,330 or 9%. This increase was due to a default penalty of $131,000 incurred during 2007 related to the Svenningsen Trust loan, which was refinanced during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and an acceleration in the accretion of the debt discount related to the Sveningsen Trust loan during 2007, as a result of its refinancing. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the accretion of the debt discount related to mandatorily redeemable cumulative convertible preferred stock.

Minority Interest in Net Loss of Subsidiary

Minority interest in net loss of subsidiary of $37,500 in 2007 relates to the net loss allocated to the 20% ownership interest in Sequiam East, Inc. that is not held by us.

Net Losses

We incurred net losses of $1,116,916 in 2007 and $1,058,272 in 2006, an increase of $58,644 or 6%. The increase was due primarily to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $155,485, an increase in interest expense of $32,330 and a decrease in other gains of $13,055. The increase was partially offset by a $104,726 improvement in revenues and cost of revenues and a $37,500 increase in losses allocated to a minority interest.

We expect to incur additional net losses through the second quarter of 2007 as our biometric products continue to be developed and marketed. Our overall cash flow has improved during the second quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of the new financing with Biometrics Investors, LLC.

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

General
 
Our principal use of cash in our operating activities has historically been for inventory and selling general and administrative expenses.  Our principal source of liquidity has historically been from financing activities. Our cash flow has improved during the second quarter of 2007 as a result of our new financing with Biometrics Investors, LLC. We expect our cash flow to continue to improve as a result of a) this new financing and b) the sales and licensing of our biometric products.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $68,624 for 2007, as a result of: a) non-cash expenses of $493,300, b) a decrease in receivables of $663,148, c) a decrease in inventory of $64,255 and d) an increase in accounts payable of $238,768, which were partially offset by: w) the net loss of $1,116,916; x) an increase in prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets of $106,697; y) a decrease in accrued expenses of $55,452 and z) a decrease in customer deposits of $112,500.

Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities for 2007 was $6,639, consisting product development costs of $58,911, an increase in advance receivable of $22,000 and equipment purchases of $14,770, offset by cash acquired through the acquisition of Sequiam East, Inc. of $89,042.

Net cash used for financing activities for 2007 was $2,077, representing the repayment of shareholder loans.
 

We anticipate sales from our products increasing to a level during 2007 where they are sufficient enough to sustain our operations. Until that time, we anticipate the new financing with Biometrics Investors, LLC will provide adequate funding.

On March 30, 2007, we closed a debt transaction with Biometrics Investors, LLC (“Biometrics”). Pursuant to this financing, we amended and restated that Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Term Note, dated November 1, 2005, made to Lee Harrison Corbin, Attorney In Fact for the Trust under the Will of John Svenningsen, in the original principal amount plus interest of $3,965,119 (the “Original Note”), which was transferred to Biometrics, to provide for $2,500,000 of additional funding subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (“Term Loan A”). The aggregate principal amount of Term Loan A (which includes $3,965,119 from the Original Note”) is $6,500,000. In connection with this financing, Biometrics provided us with written notice that we were no longer in default of the Original Note as previously reported on the current report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2007.

Term Loan A

Term Loan A shall be disbursed by Biometrics to us in a series of ten disbursements, each in the amount of $250,000, payable every other week, which shall be disbursed based on our satisfaction of the conditions stated in Paragraphs 4(a) and (b) of that certain Agreement by and between us and Biometrics, dated March 30, 2007 (the “Loan Agreement”), including our issuance to Biometrics of a warrant exercisable for 65,719,041 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Initial Warrant”). Biometrics, in its sole discretion, may elect to advance Term Loan A in greater amounts or on an accelerated funding schedule. On March 30, 2007, we issued the Initial Warrant to Biometrics in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

The $6,500,000 promissory note issued to Biometrics has a term of two years. Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears commencing on May 1, 2007, and on the first day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter at a rate of 12% per annum. The outstanding principal balance under this note is payable on April 15, 2009 and it is collateralized by all of our assets.

The Initial Warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. Biometrics may request and, if requested, we have agreed to file one or more registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the all or part of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Initial Warrant. Biometrics has not yet requested us to file a registration statement.

Term Loan B

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Biometrics agreed to make a second term loan to us in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (“Term Loan B”). Term Loan B shall consist of a series of advances not to exceed, in the aggregate, $5,000,000, which shall be disbursed to us based on our satisfaction of the conditions stated in Paragraphs 4(a) and (c) of the Loan Agreement, including the issuance to Biometrics of a warrant exercisable for 39,431,424 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the “Additional Warrant”). The Additional Warrant will not be issued to Biometrics until such time as we determine that it is in our best interest to borrow additional funds from Biometrics pursuant to Term Loan B. If any amounts are funded pursuant to Term Loan B, the outstanding principal balance under Term Loan B will be payable on April 15, 2009 and will be collateralized by all of our assets.

 
The Additional Warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. Biometrics may request and, if requested, we have agreed to file one or more registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering all or part of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Additional Warrant. Biometrics has not yet requested us to file a registration statement.
 
In our opinion, the issuance and sale of the Initial Warrant, described above, was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Biometrics is an accredited investor. Biometrics had an opportunity to ask management questions about us and had adequate access to information about us. No sales of securities involved the use of an underwriter and no commissions were paid in connection with the issuance or sale of any securities.

The principal documents involved in the transaction are the Loan Agreement, a Master Security Agreement, Term Notes A and B, an Initial and Additional Common Stock Purchase Warrant, a Registration Rights Agreement, a Second Amended and Restated Stock Pledge Agreement, a Shareholders Agreement, a Grant of Security Interest in Patents and Trademarks for us and certain of our subsidiaries, a Subsidiary Guaranty from each of our Subsidiaries, and a Subordination Agreement from Mark Mroczkowski and Nick VandenBrekel, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, to Biometrics, each of which is dated as of March 30, 2007 and a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2007.

Shareholder Actions

In connection with the Biometrics financing described above, 51.54% of the common shareholders voted and agreed in an action by written consent to amend our articles of incorporation to increase the authorized common shares from 200 million shares to 400 million shares.

We believe that our current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event we cannot continue as a going concern.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We utilize certain accounting policies and procedures to manage changes that occur in our business environment that may affect accounting estimates made in preparation of our financial statements. These estimates relate primarily to our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and the recognition and measurement of potential impairment on long-lived and intangible assets. Our strategy for managing doubtful accounts includes stringent, centralized credit policies and collection procedures for all customer accounts. We utilize a credit risk rating system in order to measure the quality of individual credit transactions. We strive to identify potential problem receivables early, take appropriate collection actions, and maintain adequate reserve levels. Management reviews its long-lived and intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or other events indicate potential impairment. Management has determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment losses are adequate at March 31, 2007.

 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
 
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management.
