SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, DC Form 8-K Current Report Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported): September 13, 1999 Fingermatrix, Inc.

Other Events On September 13, 1999, the Registrant issued to GIL Security Systems, Inc. ("GIL") 14,134 shares of its Series A 2% Voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") in payment of the purchase price for 1,000,000 shares of the common stock of GIL pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Registrant and GIL entered into on such date. The Registrant's Series A Preferred Stock issued to GIL is convertible into 10,498,735 shares of the Registrant's common stock, at a conversion rate of 742.8 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to and conditioned upon a recapitalization of the Registrant (the "Recapitalization") pursuant to which the Registrant's authorized capitalization will be increased to provide for, among other things, the reservation of a sufficient number of shares of the Registrant's common stock to accommodate any such conversion. The 10,498,735 shares of the Registrant's common stock issuable to GIL upon such conversion will represent approximately 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock, on a fully diluted basis. The Registrant granted "piggy-back" registration rights to GIL with respect to any shares of the Registrant's common stock that are issued to GIL upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock until such time as any of such shares become eligible for public sale under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Trinity Group, Inc., Carol Schiller and Grazyna Wnuk, holders of 5% or more of the Registrant's outstanding common stock, agreed not to publicly sell the shares of the Registrant's common stock owned by them unless and to the extent that GIL publicly sells any of the shares of the Registrant's common stock acquired by it upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock unless 50% or more of such shares are registered under the Securities Act, or such shares become eligible for public sale under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. On September 13, 1999, Secured Portal Systems, Inc. ("SPS"), a majority owned subsidiary of the Registrant, entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with GIL (the "Distribution Agreement") pursuant to which SPS was engaged as the exclusive distributor for a certain secured entrance system developed, manufactured and marketed by GIL (the "Security Systems") for a term commencing as of September 1, 1999 and expiring on August 31, 2004. SPS obtained the exclusive right to distribute the Security Systems to certain categories of customers defined in the Distribution Agreement, including certain agencies of the Federal Government, department stores and retail stores located in the United States, the Government of Israel, NCR Corp., and Sun Microsystems. A certain percentage of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to GIL under the Purchase Agreement are subject to redemption by the Registrant in the event that the Distribution Agreement is terminated upon the written consent of SPS and GIL prior to the expiration of the term of such Agreement. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which is subject to such redemption will be determined by reference to the number of months elapsed during the term of the Distribution Agreement at the time, if any, that the Distribution Agreement is - 2 - terminated. GIL has a similar redemption right with respect to the shares of GIL's common stock purchased by the Registrant under the Purchase Agreement. The redemption price payable by the Registrant in such circumstances is $.0001 per share. In addition, in the event that the Registrant does not complete the Recapitalization by September 13, 2000, GIL has the right to modify the distribution rights granted to SPS under the Distribution Agreement from exclusive to non-exclusive for the remainder of the term of such Agreement.

ARTICLE 7 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 7.1. Registration. If Buyer, at any time prior to the date that the Converted FINX Shares are eligible for public sale under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, proposes to register any of its equity securities for its own account in connection with a public offering under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets of another entity, securities to be offered to officers and directors of Buyer or securities registered pursuant to Form S-4, S-8, or any subsequent similar or comparable form of Registration Statement), or for the account of any or all of the Other Holders, Buyer shall request that the managing underwriter or underwriter of any such underwritten public offering include the Converted FINX Shares in any such Registration Statement relating thereto. If such managing underwriter or underwriter agrees to include any or all of the Converted FINX Shares in such Registration Statement, Buyer shall, at such time, give prompt notice to Seller of its intention to effect such registration and of Seller's right to include the Converted FINX Shares therein (a "Registration Notice"), and upon any request of Seller delivered to Buyer within twenty (20) days after giving such Registration Notice, which request shall specify the Converted FINX Shares intended to be disposed of by Seller and the intended method of disposition thereof, Buyer shall include such Converted FINX Shares held by Seller in such Registration Statement; provided, however, that: (a) If, at any time after giving a Registration Notice and prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement filed by Buyer with the Commission in connection therewith, Buyer shall determine not to register or to delay the registration of such Converted FINX Shares, -9- for any reason at its sole election, Buyer may give notice of such determination to Seller and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Converted FINX Shares issued or issuable in connection with such registration; and in the case of a determination by Buyer to delay any such registration, Buyer shall thereupon be permitted to delay registering any of such Converted FINX Shares for the same period as the delay in respect of securities being included in any such Registration Statement. (b) If the managing underwriter or underwriter in any underwritten public offering shall advise Buyer that it has determined not to include all or any portion of the Converted FINX Shares requested by Seller to be included in such Registration Statement, then such Converted FINX Shares shall be excluded from such Registration Statement, provided that such managing underwriter or underwriter is unaffiliated with Buyer or its officers or directors by virtue of the absence of any ownership interest of Buyer or such individuals in such managing underwriter or underwriter; in case of an exclusion as to only a portion of such Converted FINX Shares, all shares of Common Stock owned by Seller and the Other Holders for which registration has been requested shall be allocated among Seller and the Other Holders in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph 7.2 hereof. 7.2. Allocation. If securities proposed to be offered for sale pursuant to any Registration Statement include securities owned by Other Holders and the total number of securities to be offered by Seller and such Other Holders pursuant to this Article is required to be reduced pursuant to a request from any managing underwriter or underwriter, the aggregate number of Converted FINX Shares to be included in such Registration Statement shall equal the number of Converted FINX Shares which bears the same ratio to the maximum number of securities that such managing underwriter or underwriter believes may be included for Seller and the Other Holders as the original number of Converted FINX Shares proposed to be included therein by Seller bears to the total original number of securities proposed to be included therein by Seller and the Other Holders. In such event, Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice of the number of Converted FINX Shares to be included in such Registration Statement and the basis of the determination thereof. 7.3. Furnishing of Information. Buyer's obligations pursuant to this Article 7 shall be subject to and conditioned upon Seller providing Buyer in a timely manner with such information which Buyer or any managing underwriter or underwriter may request in connection with the Registration Statement, including, but not limited to, information concerning Seller, any underwriter or broker-dealer engaged by Seller, the proposed manner of distribution of the Converted FINX Shares and any information requested by the Commission. 7.4. Cooperation. Seller hereby agrees to cooperate with Buyer in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by Buyer and executing and delivering all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Converted FINX Shares. -10- 7.5. Cost of Registration. Buyer shall bear the entire cost and expense of any registration of Converted FINX Shares pursuant to this Article 7, including, without limitation, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of Buyer's counsel, accounting, audit fees and costs and all registration and filing fees (both Federal and state); provided that Seller shall bear the fees of its counsel and accountants, and all transfer taxes and all underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to the Converted FINX Shares sold by it pursuant thereto. 7.6. Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and each affiliate, officer, director, shareholder, and partner of Seller, any underwriter or broker-dealer (as defined in the Securities Act), who may purchase from or sell any Converted FINX Shares for Seller, and each person, if any, who controls Seller or such underwriter or broker-dealer (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) (the "Losses") caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any prospectus included therein or any related application or other filing under any state securities law or by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to which Seller or any of such persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other Federal or state laws, rules or regulations, at common law or otherwise, except insofar as such Losses are caused by any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission which is based upon information furnished or required to be furnished to Buyer by Seller or any of such persons or entities expressly for use in any Registration Statement. 7.7. Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its directors, each officer signing a Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act, Buyer's counsel, any managing underwriter or underwriter (and each person who controls the managing underwriter or the underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act), and each other person whose securities are being offered or sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, from and against any and all Losses caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any prospectus required to be filed or furnished in connection therewith, or any related application or other filing under any state securities law or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to which Buyer, or any of such persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other Federal or state laws, rules or regulations, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission which is based upon information furnished to Buyer by Seller expressly for use in any Registration Statement. -11- 7.8. Indemnification Procedure. If any action or claim shall be brought or asserted by a person or entity entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article (an "Indemnified Party") against any person or entity who or which is responsible to provide indemnification thereunder (an "Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, of all of the particulars with respect thereto, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any action or proceeding relating thereto, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all legal and other expenses of such defense. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability for indemnification which it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such failure materially prejudices the rights of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding relating to a claim for indemnification hereunder and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party, in writing, or (b) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel as provided herein, or (c) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party, and in the judgment of the counsel for the Indemnifying Party, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party or controlling person to be represented by separate counsel (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party or such controlling person), it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys at any time in each jurisdiction for all indemnified parties (including Seller and the Other Holders and whether pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreements granting registration rights), which firm shall be designated in writing by all such indemnified parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding which is effected by an Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment or decree for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding by a court of competent jurisdiction and the time to appeal shall have expired or the last appeal shall have been denied, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. 7.9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the matters which resulted in such Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault -12- of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission, or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statements or omissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount that Seller shall be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds received by Seller from the Converted FINX Shares sold pursuant to the Registration Statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which Seller has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such Loss). 7.10. Survival. The indemnification provided for by this Article shall be a continuing right to indemnification and shall survive the registration and sale of any Converted FINX Shares by any person entitled to indemnification hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 7.11. Assignment of Rights. The rights of Seller to request Buyer to register Converted FINX Shares pursuant to this Article may not be assigned by Seller other than to Alan J. Risi and Stanley Ross (or to such family members or trusts referred to in Section 5.3 hereof). Any such assignee must, as a condition to such assignment, execute and deliver to Buyer an instrument prepared by Buyer's counsel pursuant to which such assignee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article.
