BILLERICA, Mass. (USA) / BOCHUM (Deutschland) –7. Februar 2006 –Viisage (Nasdaq: VISG) gab kürzlich Pläne zur Übernahme der Firma SecuriMetrics, Inc. bekannt. SecuriMetrics ist der weltweit einzige Anbieter voll funktionsfähiger mobiler Geräte, Softwareanwendungen und Dienstleistungen, die auf Iriserkennung und multi-modalen biometrischen Technologien basieren. Durch diese Übernahme sowie den Abschluss der bevorstehenden Fusion mit Identix wird Viisage zum einzigen Anbieter umfassender mobiler und multi-modaler Lösungen für die biometrische Erkennung anhand von Iris, Fingerabdruck und Gesicht in den USA.

Die Transaktion sieht vor, dass Viisage 28 Millionen US-Dollar für die Übernahme bezahlt, abzüglich 2 Millionen US-Dollar vorhandener liquider Mittel des übernommenen Unternehmens. Der Übernahmevertrag bietet den SecuriMetrics-Aktionären die Möglichkeit zu zusätzlichen Einnahmen bis zu einem Wert von 13 Millionen US-Dollar, sofern bestimmte Leistungsvorgaben und Bedingungen erfüllt werden. 11,5 Millionen US-Dollar davon würden in Form von Viisage-Aktien zu einem Festpreis von 17,69 US-Dollar pro Aktie gezahlt werden.

Der Baranteil des Kaufpreises wird durch die 100 Millionen US-Dollar finanziert, die L-1 Investment Partners im Jahr 2005 in Viisage investiert haben.

Robert V. LaPenta, Vorsitzender des Viisage-Aufsichtsrats: „Technologien zur Iriserkennung werden als äußerst zuverlässige und mobile biometrische Identifikationslösungen zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen. SecuriMetrics bietet nicht nur einzigartige Produkte und Dienstleistungen, sondern auch solide Kundenbeziehungen auf kommunaler, bundesstaatlicher, nationaler und internationaler Ebene.“

Umfassendes Angebot an Iriserkennungslösungen

Die Iriserkennung stellt als schnelle, genaue und hoch skalierbare biometrische Erkennungstechnologie eine optimale Ergänzung zur Fingerabdruck- und Gesichtserkennung dar. SecuriMetrics bietet eine breite Palette an Hardware, Software und Dienstleistungen, die für die Erfassung, Codierung, Übermittlung und Feststellung einer Identität anhand des Irismusters erforderlich sind. SecuriMetrics’ Produkte für die Personenidentifikation sind besonders für schwierige Umgebungsbedingungen geeignet und ermöglichen als bedienerfreundliche mobile Lösungen eine schnelle und exakte Personenidentifikation bei Militäreinsätzen.

SecuriMetrics’ Produkt PIER (Portable Iris Enrollment & Recognition – Mobile Iris-Erfassung und
-Erkennung) speichert bis zu 200.000 unterschiedliche Irisbilder, führt Suchvorgänge durch und zeigt dem Anwender die Suchergebnisse an. Gegenwärtig sind im Irak, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, auf Kuba, in Bosnien und in anderen Krisenregionen fast 2.000 PIER-Geräte im Einsatz. Auch die US-Gefängnisse im Irak und in Afghanistan registrieren die Häftlinge mit Hilfe dieses Geräts. Die Hard- und Softwarelösungen von SecuriMetrics werden zudem zur Zutrittskontrolle zu Gebäuden und Stützpunkten und zum Abgleich mit Fahndungslisten eingesetzt.

Eine weitere wichtige technische Innovation befindet sich gegenwärtig in der abschließenden Testphase: HIIDE (Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment – Mobiles Gerät zur behördenübergreifenden Identitätsüberprüfung), das erste und einzige mobile multi-modale Gerät der Welt, das die Erfassung und Identifikation von Individuen anhand von Iris, Fingerabdruck und Gesichtserkennung ermöglichen wird.

„Unsere Branche steht vor einer schnellen Expansion, und diese Konsolidierung auf die Viisage-Plattform wird den Einsatz und die Verbreitung von Iriserkennung optimal beschleunigen“, so Greg Peterson, Gründer und CEO von SecuriMetrics, Inc. „Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit für unsere gemeinsame Vision, durch ein führendes Angebot an Lösungen für die Personenidentifikation zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit beizutragen.“

Synergien im Kundenstamm auf kommunaler, bundesstaatlicher, nationaler und internationaler Ebene

Die US-Regierung setzt in verschiedenen Bundesbehörden nicht nur Viisage-Produkte, sondern auch Produkte von SecuriMetrics zur Erhöhung der nationalen Sicherheit und für den Heimatschutz ein.

„Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass der Einsatz von biometrischen Technologien und insbesondere der Iriserkennung im Kampf gegen den Terror einen zweiten 11. September verhindern kann“, so Lieutenant Colonel Kathy De Bolt, Battle-Labor der US-Armee in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. „Das mobile Gerät von SecuriMetrics lässt sich auch im Einsatz flexibel verwenden und überzeugt mit einer Genauigkeit, die uns keine andere biometrische Technologie bieten konnte. Wenn wir durch die Verwendung dieser Geräte nur ein einziges Menschenleben retten können, dann hat sich die Investition schon gelohnt. Wir haben das Ziel, damit möglichst viele Leben zu retten und den Kampf gegen den Terror zu gewinnen.“

Neben militärischen Anwendungen sind integrierte biometrische Technologien auch für behördliche Initiativen wie das US-amerikanische Registered Traveler-Programm von entscheidender Bedeutung. Es bietet Fluggästen an den Sicherheitskontrollen auf Flughäfen größeren Komfort, wenn diese im Gegenzug ihre biometrischen Daten registrieren und mit Fahndungslisten abgleichen lassen.

Weitere Möglichkeiten bieten sich dem vereinten Unternehmen im Bereich der Lösungen für Polizei- und Sicherheitsbehörden sowie Justizvollzugsanstalten.

„Immer mehr Organisationen haben Bedarf an nahtlos integrierten biometrischen Lösungen - mit Fingerabdruck, Gesichts- und Iriserkennung - und durch diese Übernahme entwickelt sich Viisage zum neuen Standard bei Lösungen für die Personenidentifikation“, so Bernard Bailey, CEO von Viisage. „Weitere technische Fortschritte werden folgen, damit dieser hohe Standard beibehalten werden kann. Dafür sorgt unser großes Entwicklerteam, das die qualifiziertesten Experten für die Fingerabdruck-, Gesichts- und Iriserkennung der Welt umfassen wird.“

Die Transaktion wird voraussichtlich Ende Februar 2006 abgeschlossen, sofern die üblichen Abschlussbedingungen erfüllt werden. Für 2006 erwartet man eine Umsatzerhöhung von ungefähr 15 Millionen US-Dollar und eine Erhöhung des EBITDA um 3 Millionen US-Dollar. Die Inhaber der Mehrheit der Vorzugs- und Stammaktien von SecuriMetrics haben bereits zugesichert, für die Übernahme zu stimmen.

Gestern hielt Viisage eine Telefonkonferenz für Investoren und Medienvertreter ab, bei der diese Übernahme erörtert wurde. Eine Wiederholung des Webcast steht auf Viisages Investor Relations-Seite unter www.viisage.com zur Verfügung.

EBITDA

Viisage gibt das EBITDA an, um die finanzielle Leistung unabhängig von allgemein anerkannten Prinzipien der US-Rechnungslegung („GAAP“) zu beziffern. Bei der Berechnung des EBITDA werden Einnahmezinsen, Steuern, Abschreibung und Tilgung auf das Nettoergebnis zurückaddiert. Das EBITDA soll den Investoren als zusätzliches Leistungsbarometer dienen, das die gemäß GAAP ermittelten Ergebnisse ergänzt, da die Geschäftsführung der Ansicht ist, dass diese Angaben ein besseres Bild der grundlegenden Trends in Bezug auf die Geschäftstätigkeit des Unternehmens liefern, und anhand dieser Angaben interne Budgetrechnungen und Zielsetzungen aufstellt, die Geschäfte führt und die Leistung bewertet. Der EBITDA-Wert sollte nicht individuell oder anstelle anderer vergleichbarer Werte betrachtet werden, die gemäß GAAP berechnet und vorgelegt werden. Viisage stellt keinen quantitativen Abgleich von EBITDA und geplantem Nettoeinkommen (-verlust) zur Verfügung, da dieser einen unverhältnismäßig hohen Aufwand erfordern würde.

New CFO named for AuthentiDate
Friday February 17, 4:38 pm ET

AuthentiDate Holding Corp. has named William Marshall chief financial officer and treasurer.

Marshall, 53, joins AuthentiDate with more than 25 years of experience as a chief financial officer, audit partner, and senior management adviser. Most recently he served as chief financial officer and treasurer for NEON Communications Inc., a former publicly traded provider of optical networking solutions, from 2001 to 2005, until the company was acquired.

ADVERTISEMENT
Before that he was chief financial officer and treasurer for Vitts Networks Inc., a provider of high-speed Internet communications, and Viisage Technology Inc., a software technology company where he led the company`s initial public offering in 1996.

He replaces Dennis Bunt, who resigned last month. He had been with the company for 13 years. Bunt had been the only executive level person still at AuthentiDate`s Schenectady office. AuthentiDate recently moved its headquarters to Berkeley Heights, N.J., but still has an operation in Schenectady.

"We are very pleased to have Bill join our executive management team as CFO," said Suren Pai, AuthentiDate CEO. "His extensive finance background and business acumen will prove valuable as we continue to grow our company. As the CFO for two former publicly traded companies in the technology and software services industry, Bill offers keen insight for growth companies like ours as well as an entrepreneurial spirit. We are confident that his broad skill set will significantly strengthen our capabilities."

Viisage Completes Acquisition of Leading Iris Recognition Company SecuriMetrics
Tuesday February 21, 7:00 am ET

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 21, 2006--Viisage Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: VISG - News) today announced the completion of the acquisition of privately-held SecuriMetrics, Inc., provider of the world`s only full-function handheld iris recognition and multi-modal biometric devices, software applications and services. The intent to acquire SecuriMetrics was first announced by the Companies on February 6, 2006.

ADVERTISEMENT
SecuriMetrics is expected to add approximately $15 million in revenue in 2006 and $3 million in EBITDA to Viisage.

Viisage paid $28 million in cash for SecuriMetrics, net of the $2 million in cash on the acquired company`s balance sheet. SecuriMetrics shareholders have the opportunity to earn up to an additional $13 million in consideration if key performance thresholds and contingencies are reached, of which $11.5 million would be paid in shares of Viisage common stock at a fixed price of $17.69 per share. The cash portion of the purchase price is being funded from the initial $100 million investment that L-1 Investment Partners made in Viisage in 2005.

"Viisage momentum continues as we add an additional important modality to our identity solution portfolio with SecuriMetrics iris recognition capabilities," said Robert V. LaPenta, chairman of the board of Viisage. "This complementary technology better positions both companies to vie for an even greater share of the biometrics market, particularly among military applications, civil and consumer identification programs."

With the addition of iris recognition, Viisage now offers multiple and multi-modal biometric capabilities that include finger, face and iris. Customer synergies between the two Companies offer the opportunity to develop an even deeper penetration within state, local, federal and international government agencies, particularly those focused on national security and homeland defense. Together with the completion of the pending Identix merger, Viisage will become the only U.S.-based manufacturer of a full range of handheld and multi-modal biometric recognition solutions encompassing iris, finger and face.

Greg Peterson, founder and CEO of SecuriMetrics, Inc. said, "Our companies share a common vision of providing the most advanced, rapid and highly scalable methods for securing and protecting personal identities and assets and I am confident that together we will achieve our vision."

SecuriMetrics business operations will remain in its current location in Martinez, California.

EBITDA

Viisage uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income (loss) interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measures help illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company`s business and uses the measures to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business, and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Viisage has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA with projected net income (loss) because such reconciliation cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts.

Form 8-K for VIISAGE TECHNOLOGY INC

24-Feb-2006

Change in Assets, Sale of Equity, Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial Stat


Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2006 by Viisage Technology, Inc. ("Viisage"), Viisage and VS Able Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viisage ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with SecuriMetrics, Inc. ("SecuriMetrics") on February 5, 2006. The Merger Agreement provided for the acquisition by Viisage of all of the outstanding capital stock of SecuriMetrics, by way of the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into SecuriMetrics, upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions.

On February 17, 2006, the Merger was consummated, whereupon SecuriMetrics became a wholly owned subsidiary of Viisage.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Viisage paid $28 million in cash for SecuriMetrics. The Merger Agreement provides the holders of SecuriMetrics common shares, or options for such common shares, with the opportunity to earn up to an additional $13 million in consideration if key performance thresholds are achieved and certain contingencies are resolved, of which $11.5 million would be paid in shares of Viisage common stock at a fixed price of $17.69 per share.

An additional $2 million in cash has been placed in escrow for 18 months. The escrow fund will be available to compensate Viisage for any losses it may incur as a result of any breach of the representations or warranties of SecuriMetrics contained in the Merger Agreement, and certain liabilities arising out of the ownership or operation of SecuriMetrics prior to the closing of the Merger. The escrow fund also will be used to fund certain post-closing litigation-related obligations retained by the sellers.

The initial cash portion of the purchase price has been funded from the initial $100 million investment that L-1 Investment Partners made in Viisage in 2005.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on February 17, 2006, Viisage entered into a certain registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with certain of the holders of SecuriMetrics common shares, or options for such common shares, pursuant to which such holders shall have certain registration rights in the event that they receive shares of Viisage common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On February 21, 2006, Viisage issued a press release announcing the closing of the SecuriMetrics acquisition. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.



Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosures in Item 2.01 are incorporated in this Item 3.02 by reference.

The shares of Viisage common stock that may be issuable to holders of SecuriMetrics common shares, or options for such common shares, pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be

exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to one or more exemptions therefrom, including Rule 506 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act. In addition, there may be other exemptions from registration available.

These shares of Viisage common stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Viisage may be required to register these shares under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the registration rights agreement contemplated thereby.



Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 21, 2006, Viisage issued a press release announcing the closing of the SecuriMetrics acquisition, as described in Item 2.01 above. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

On December 16, 2005, Viisage Technology, Inc. ("Viisage") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K") to report (a) the completion of its acquisition of 60% of the outstanding membership interests of Integrated Biometric Technology LLC ("IBT"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrated Biometric Technology, Inc. ("IBT Parent") from Aston Capital Partners, L.P. ("Aston"), an affiliate of L-1 Investment Partners LLC ("L-1"), and (b) its acquisition of IBT Parent through the merger of IBT Parent into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viisage. As a result of the two transactions, Viisage acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of IBT. Viisage hereby amends Item 9.01 of the Form 8-K to file the financial statements and pro forma financial information not filed with the Form 8-K.

(a) Financial Statements of IBT Parent.

Included herein as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A are the audited consolidated balance sheets of IBT Parent as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the audited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders` or members` deficit, and cash flows for the nine and twelve months then ended and the notes to these audited financial statements.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

The following documents of Viisage appear as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.

(i) Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2005;

(ii) Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2005 and the Year Ended December 31, 2004; and

(iii) Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K/A are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations for future periods or the financial position or results of operations that actually would have been realized had Viisage and IBT been a combined company during the specified periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Viisage`s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three years ended December 31, 2004 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended October 2, 2005, included in Viisage`s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended October 2, 2005, respectively.

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary purchase price allocations. Actual allocations will be based on final appraisals and other analyses of the fair value of, among other items, identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, property and equipment, deferred revenue and income taxes. The allocations will be finalized after the data necessary to complete the appraisal and analyses of the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities is obtained and analyzed. Management does not expect that differences between the preliminary and final allocations will have a material impact on Viisage`s pro forma results of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements assume the IBT transactions, as well the issuance of common stock and warrants by Viisage to Aston pursuant to an investment agreement between Viisage and Aston dated October 5, 2005, a portion of the proceeds of which was used for the IBT transactions, had been consummated on October 2, 2005 (Viisage`s most recent balance sheets) for purposes of the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and January 1, 2004 for purposes of the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Exhibit Index hereto is incorporated into this Item 9 by reference.

Viisage Technology Posts Smaller 4Q Loss

Viisage Technology Posts Smaller 4Q Loss but Revenue Declines 22 Percent

BILLERICA, Mass. (AP) -- Viisage Technology Inc., a developer of identification systems used to authenticate driver`s licenses and passports, on Thursday posted a smaller loss for the fourth quarter, but revenue fell 22 percent.

Viisage reported a loss of $3 million, or 14 cents per share, compared with a loss of $5.3 million, or 28 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue declined to $15 million from $19.1 million.

Analysts expected Viisage to report a loss of 11 cents per share on revenue of $13.4 million, according to Thomson Financial.

Gross margin was 24 percent compared with 30 percent in the third quarter, reflecting slightly higher royalty costs and other adjustments.

For the full year, Viisage reported a bigger loss of $7.4 million, or 38 cents per share, compared to $6.9 million, or 45 cents per share, in 2004. Revenue fell 2 percent to $66.2 million from $67.5 million.

Looking ahead, Viisage forecast first-quarter revenue of $20 million to $22 million and gross margin of 30 percent.

Viisage expects gross margin to increase during 2006, and sees reporting a loss of 10 cents to 14 cents per share, including stock-option costs of 3 cents, but not including any acquisition costs.

Viisage in January said it agreed to pay about $770 million in stock for rival biometrics provider Identix Inc. On Thursday, Viisage said the acquisition is on track to close in the second quarter.

Separately, Viisage said Thursday that it believes it still has serious issues in its internal checks-and-balances system for preventing accounting mistakes and fraud. The company identified the problems as part of its year-end review required under post-Enron regulations, known as Sarbanes-Oxley. As a result, Viisage said it will likely report that its internal system for preventing accounting errors wasn`t effective at year-end.

Also on Thursday, Viisage said the State Department increased the value of a passport-verification contract with the company by $56 million, bringing the total potential value to $121 million. The original five-year contract, received in 2003, was valued at $65 million.

Viisage shares rose 2 cents to $18.15 in midday trading on the Nasdaq.

Viisage is Selected by the Department of Federal Police of Brazil for Border Security Program
Monday March 13, 7:00 am ET
The iA-thenticate Smart Chip/RFID Critical to Brazil`s Border Security

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2006--Viisage (Nasdaq: VISG - News) a leading provider of advanced technology identity solutions, today announced that SERPRO (Servico Federal de Processamento de Dados) of Brazil has selected Viisage`s iA-thenticate® Smart Chip/RFID Electronic Document Reader to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of information with e-Passports, e-Visas, driver`s licenses and ID cards at all airports, seaports and land crossing borders throughout the country. The contract, valued at $1.7 million, marks the first industry deployment of a smart chip reader and further outlines the option for SERPRO to spend an additional 25% of the original contract value through the exercise of add-on technologies.

The systems will be operated by the Department of Federal Police (Departamento de Policia Federal - DPF). This is the first nation-wide implementation of an automated RFID document authentication system in the western hemisphere, and positions Brazil, the fifth most populated country in the world, as a leader in the use of border security technology.

The iA-thenticate with smart chip technology helps prevent identity fraud during border crossing by using the embedded e-passport smart chip reader, to verify the validity of credentials that are electronically stored on the e-passport. The product is also used to validate the authenticity of standard passports that are not RFID chip enabled. The implementation will be in conjunction with the production of the new Brazilian passport, which will be issued later in 2006. With more than 200 units already shipped, full deployment is planned to be underway by the end of the first quarter; completed deployment is expected during the second quarter of 2006.

"Viisage is proud that our technology has been selected to aid Brazil`s national police department, securing vital points of entry," said Mr. Ron van Os, Chief Product Officer of Viisage. "Law enforcement agencies around the world rely on verification and authentication systems from Viisage to increase efficiency and effectiveness throughout the criminal justice community."

This marks the first industry-focused, global RFID border implementation following the mandate by the International Standards Association and the United States. Cross border travel is on the rise as identity documents such as passports, visas, driver`s licenses, and smart cards are being used to cross borders at land, air and sea ports around the world. Governments are facing an increasing challenge of monitoring the integrity of these credentials presented during entry, stay, and exit points to ensure proper authentication of travelers and employees. Officials rely on border management processes and technologies to assure national security and public safety. Viisage has more than 3,000 product installations that are protecting borders and preventing identity fraud in over 17 countries.

Identix Demonstrates AFIS-Grade, Top Performing Fingerprint Matching Technology in National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Testing
Monday March 13, 6:30 am ET

MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2006--Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX - News):

* One-to-Many Algorithm Testing Consistently Places Identix in Top Three Companies for Accuracy Against Real-World, Large-Scale AFIS Databases
* Identix Expects to Launch Full Suite of Criminal and Civil AFIS Offerings by the Third Quarter of Calendar 2006

Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX - News) announced today that the latest National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) testing report has identified Identix` newest fingerprint matching technology offering, BioEngine® 6, as a top performing, AFIS-Grade algorithm. The recently released NIST fingerprint algorithm testing, the results of which were publicly released March 10, 2006, included the latest one-to-many fingerprint matching algorithm from Identix. The tests were conducted on large scale, existing, real-world databases, including U.S. VISIT airport captures, Mexico/U.S. land crossings, and worldwide U.S. Visa applications. Identix` technology was shown to be highly competitive, with performance above or in-line, with the current leading AFIS vendors.

In its latest report, NIST tested a total of 21 algorithms from 10 vendors. Several AFIS vendors participated through multiple submissions that represented different parameter adjustments of the same algorithm from that vendor. Identix participated with a single algorithm, BioEngine 6. Identix average accuracy results across all tests came in at 99.45% in the two finger tests and 97.36% in the single finger tests, at a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 1/10,000. Only two other AFIS vendors averaged higher, with a difference of only 0.1-0.2% for the two finger matching accuracy and 0.7-0.8% for the single finger accuracy. The complete NIST results released March 10, 2006 may be found at http://fingerprint.nist.gov/SDK/.

"Today`s announced NIST results mark a major milestone for Identix in validating and establishing the Company`s BioEngine 6 algorithm as a top performing AFIS-Grade fingerprint matching technology for large-scale identification solutions," said Identix President & CEO Dr. Joseph J. Atick. "These results are the culmination of considerable R&D and investment efforts that set the stage for the next round of market penetration by Identix. We believe the fact that we were able to outperform algorithms from every other company -- while consistently placing in the top three companies in terms of performance -- without having the benefit of tuning our algorithm for these tests, demonstrates that Identix has a powerful technology that will be very competitive in the AFIS marketplace."

Atick continued, "Over the past years, Identix has been working diligently on incorporating this one-to-many fingerprint matching technology into our ABIS platform and on developing all of the required applications and work flow engines that will enable us to deliver end-to-end criminal and civil AFIS capabilities."

These AFIS capabilities are expected to be commercially launched and available to the broad market during the third calendar quarter of 2006.

Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, CEO and founder of L-1 Investment Partners and Chairman of the Board of Viisage Technology, Inc., stated, "This is a significant accomplishment for Identix, which is expected to become a valuable asset of the combined Company that will be created by the proposed merger of Identix and Viisage. It affords Identix the ability to continue development of a full suite of criminal and civil AFIS solutions that will place the combined Company in an ideal position to effectively compete for large-scale identification programs such as national ID, voter registration, criminal AFIS, travel and transportation documents, and many others throughout the world." At the closing of the merger between Viisage and Identix, Mr. LaPenta, will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the yet to be named combined Company.

Viisage and Identix Clear Hart-Scott-Rodino; Merger on Schedule to Close in the Second Quarter

BILLERICA, Mass. & MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 24, 2006--Viisage Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: VISG) and Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq: IDNX) jointly announced that the U.S. Department of Justice has granted the parties early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review process applicable to the pending merger between the companies. The early termination of the HSR review removes a closing condition of the proposed merger. The transaction is on schedule and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006, subject to approval by the Viisage and Identix stockholders.


"I am pleased that the merger has successfully cleared this important milestone and am enthusiastic about what the future holds for the newly combined company," said Robert V. LaPenta, chairman of the board of Viisage. "The integration team has worked diligently to develop a go-forward plan that I believe will position the combined company for optimal growth in the future. We all look forward to leveraging that plan in creating a new industry standard for securing and protecting personal identities and assets."

At the closing of the merger between Viisage and Identix, Mr. LaPenta, will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the yet to be named combined Company.

On January 12, 2006, the two companies announced that they had entered into a definitive merger blending two complementary approaches to solving the challenge of protecting and securing personal identities by establishing the industry's most comprehensive single platform for multi-modal finger, face, skin and imaging identity solutions.

Identix wins California government contracts
Tuesday May 9, 11:37 am ET

Identix Inc. said Tuesday it has been awarded contracts from California state and local governments for its live-scan handprinting technology.

The orders have a total value of more than $700,000, the Minnetonka-based biometric technology company said.


The California agencies plan to use the Identix hand-scanning systems to upgrade and expand their existing networks. The new systems will also help California law enforcement agencies meet the requirements of the state's Proposition 69, which requires officials to capture the handprints of certain felonious registrants and parolees.

Identix (Nasdaq: IDNX - News) said it expects to ship and install the orders by the end of September.

In January, Identix agreed to be acquired by Billerica, Mass.-based Viisage Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: VISG - News). That deal is expected to close in the second quarter.

AMRO Fund Manager Says...
by: clear_laker 05/09/06 05:27 pm
Msg: 103641 of 103641

..."the company's merged suite of
businesses could propel the shares to $48 during the next 12 to 18 months."

(Sorry. No link. Received via email.)

[ By James Covert
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--A long, painful period for U.S. industrial stocks
appears to be ending, and the ABN AMRO/TAMRO Small-Cap fund is reaping the
benefits.
After years of cost-cutting and restructuring, makers of everything from
power cables to construction cranes have seen their shares surge as global
economic growth has spurred new demand. Having bulked up on industrial stocks
during the past couple of years, the $208 million fund is up 23.9% year to
date - well ahead of the 16.1% gain by the benchmark Russell 2000 index.
Portfolio manager Philip Tasho admits that his strategy to "buy the best
when they're depressed" doesn't always pay off quickly. In 2004 and 2005, the
fund's gains fell short of the benchmark when big bets in the industrial and
technology sectors - about 19% and 18% of the portfolio, respectively - failed
to appreciate.
But Tasho, who operates the fund from offices in Alexandria, Va.,
nevertheless has made an argument for his patient, long-term approach to
investing. His fund has posted a 16.6% annual growth rate during the past five
years, versus the benchmark's 10.9% five-year annual clip.
While its sector bets may be bigger than usual, the TAMROSmall-Cap fund uses
a bottom-up approach that focuses on limiting risk. Tasho prefers that the
upside potential for a given stock be at least three times the downside. His
initial quantitative filter for investments looks for solid
price-to-earnings-growth ratios and upwardly revised earnings forecasts.
Contrary to doomsayers, Tasho says he still sees plenty of good opportunities
for investing in small-capitalization stocks.
"The spread between small and large caps has narrowed over past couple of
years, but small caps still aren't outrageously expensive," Tasho says. "A lot
of them are companies that didn't have access to capital markets before, and
now they've got better management and better business plans."

Fingerprints, Gadgets and Cranes

Take the example of Viisage Technology Inc. (VISG). The Billerica, Mass.,
firm leads hands-down in the manufacturing of cutting-edge facial-recognition
systems for government and military clients. But new management has recognized
that the company's niche has been too narrow to generate healthy profits;
accordingly, Viisage has agreed to purchase Identix Inc. (IDNX), the leading
maker of fingerprint identification systems.
"Fingerprinting is the largest area to be in, and that was the area that was
missing," Tasho says. "We think security is going to be a growing component of
where companies and governments need to spend their money."
The fund took most of its 190,600-share stake in Viisage in early 2005 at
the $14 level. The shares have risen modestly since then, recently trading
above $16. The company's improved balance sheet helps limit downside on the
shares to $13, Tasho says. Meanwhile, he thinks the company's merged suite of
businesses could propel the shares to $48 during the next 12 to 18 months. ]

Wir scheinen hier echt alleine zu sein...

Aber mal ganz realisitisch betrachtet, war der Wert in den letzten Wochen wirklich billig zu haben. Dumm nur, wir sind über dem Niveau eingestiegen.

Längerfristig haben wir aber sicher einen guten Wert im Depot! Anhand den News ist zu entnehmen, dass Viisage immer wieder neue wichtige und vor allem große Auftrag an Land ziehen kann. Weiterhin sind Sicherheitslösungen (im Prinzip jeder Art) in der Zukunft immer wichtiger. Problematisch ist im Moment noch zumindest in Ländern wie Deutschland der strenge Datenschutz, der noch Grenzen in der Anwendung setzt. Ich denke allerdings, dass wir uns diesen zumindest längerfristig - schon aus naheliegenden Gründen und Bedrohungen - nicht mehr leisten können. Dies gilt sowohl für staatliche Kontrollen (z. B. an Grenzen, Überwachung von öffentlichen Plätzen, usw.), wie auch im wirtschaftlichen Bereich für intelligente Zugangssysteme. Unsere Ausweise in Zukunft werden ganz sicher wesentlich mehr elektronische Daten enthalten und nicht nur unsere Pässe, weil wir in die USA reisen wollen...

cramer sagt:

Shares of Viisage Technology (VISG:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) rose 8% after the digital-identification company's first-quarter results beat expectations. The company reported a loss of $2.2 million, or 7 cents a share, on revenue of $23.4 million. Analysts expected a wider loss of 12 cents a share and revenue of $20.8 million. Last year, the company recorded a first-quarter loss of $1.6 million, or 9 cents a share, on revenue of $16.8 million.

Assuming that Viisage's merger with Identix (IDNX:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) is completed during the second quarter, the combined entity expects to post second-half adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $23 million to $27 million. The combined company predicts second-half revenue of $120 million to $125 million. Shares of Viisage were trading up $1.21 to $16.10, while shares of Identix rose 86 cents, or 14%, to $7.23.

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 2006--Viisage (Nasdaq: VISG - News), a leading provider of advanced technology identity solutions, today announced that the Departments of Transportation/Motor Vehicles in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Maryland and Arkansas have awarded new contracts or extensions to the company for innovative solutions to help provide security in the states' driver's licensing processes and procedures required of the federal REAL ID Act. The contract awards total more than $48 million and vary in length from six months to over seven years.

The contracts recently awarded to Viisage include key wins from major US states:

* The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) awarded Viisage $45.5 million in contracts. The contracts augment and strengthen the existing technology and solution to further secure the drivers' licensing process.(a)
* The Wisconsin Department of Transportation awarded Viisage a $500,000 contract to implement automated document authentication to vet claimed identities prior to issuing valid driver's licenses. Wisconsin has been a customer since 1997 and in 2005 awarded the company a $7.5 million contract for issuance of driver's licenses and ID cards.
* The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration awarded Viisage a $2 million contract extension to continue the state's secure driver's licensing program. This extension follows the 1999 contract award and subsequent extensions which totaled $15 million.
* The Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles awarded Viisage a $300,000 services extension on the contract Viisage won in 1999 for a secure driver's license solution. Awards and extensions from Maryland to date total over $9 million.

"We look forward to our ongoing partnership with Viisage as we move ahead with continued improvements to ensure the security of PennDOT's driver licensing products," said Betty Serian, Deputy Secretary for Safety Administration, PennDOT.

"These significant wins exemplify our leadership position in the marketplace, as we provide a myriad of solutions to help the states combat identity theft and fraud and comply with the REAL ID Act," said Bernard Bailey, president and CEO of Viisage.

Driver's licenses and IDs produced by the states in the U.S. continue to be important identity documents in personal transactions such as banking and travel. In May 2005, the Real ID Act was passed, challenging states to increase security in select identity documents and provide a means for interstate verification of an applicant's identity. Viisage provides a variety of end-to-end identity products, services and solutions to the driver's license marketplace for these initiatives, including the following: designing and developing secure driver's license and ID solutions; examining and verifying an identity prior to issuing a secure credential; automating document authentication for identity verification; detecting individuals suspected of identity theft or fraud; providing biometrics such as face recognition and fingerprint technologies for uniquely tying individuals to their identity documents and for investigation; and reconciling duplicate database records.

(a) Includes the seven-year extension previously announced on Viisage's quarterly earnings call on May 15, 2006

Viisage's Proven Document Authentication Technology Aids Australian Border Control and Embassy Safety Initiatives Worldwide
Tuesday June 13, 7:03 am ET
Australia's Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs Awards Viisage Contract for Authentication of E-passports
Marks Third Consecutive Contract from an Australian Agency

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 2006--Viisage (Nasdaq: VISG - News), a leading provider of advanced technology identity solutions, today announced that the Australia Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) has selected the Viisage iA-thenticate® Smart Chip/RFID Electronic Document Reader to improve security in more than 25 Australian overseas locations worldwide. This is the third of three consecutive contracts awarded to Viisage from the Australian government. Australia has been a leader in implementing Viisage's innovative document authentication technologies and products, which include one of the world's largest document databases for ensuring the authenticity of standard identity documents.

ADVERTISEMENT
DIMA plans to use the Viisage iA-thenticate Smart Chip/RFID Electronic Document Reader to improve overall security around the issuance of travel and identity documents, specifically e-passports. The product is designed to ensure that all documents presented as proof of identification are credible and authentic. Following Brazil's implementation, previously announced in March 2006, this marks the second deployment of this unique product since its recent launch. Viisage provides other document authentication products to more than 20 countries including Australia, Canada, Sweden, Hungary, Brazil, Japan, and The United Arab Emirates.

Given the increased global risk of terrorist activities, DIMA focused on eliminating the use of one of the terrorists' most important tools - false identity documents, including passports, visas, and national IDs. With Viisage's automated document authentication technology, DIMA can authenticate the security features on standard travel documents presented at the Australian embassies globally and automatically detect fraudulent documents. Among other identity documents Viisage's iA-thenticate Smart Chip/RFID Electronic Document Reader will authenticate Australia's leading e-passport, which contains biometrics to identify the passport owner. Australia is regarded as a leader in using this technology to protect its nation against individuals attempting to penetrate its borders illegally.

DIMA is the third consecutive Australian government department to award Viisage a contract to implement its technology, demonstrating the growing use of document authentication in support of national and international security. Previously, the Australian Customs Service (ACS) selected Viisage's iA-thenticate product for all Australian international airports to help authorities efficiently monitor who enters and departs the country, and the Australia Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) uses Viisage's automated authentication technology to ensure document security and provide quality control of newly issued passports.

"Viisage's product will help us improve security and extend this security beyond our borders," said Janette Haughton, DIMA spokesperson on identity technology. "We believe these installations will significantly enhance our ability to detect fraudulent documents before a visa is granted and an unwanted visitor travels to Australia."

"Due to heightened awareness of the threats posed by international travel, countries are required to have tighter security," said Ron van Os, Chief Product Officer of Viisage. "Increasingly, our government customers are recognizing the value our products offer to better manage their borders. Australia is on the leading edge with implementations throughout several agencies, which provides both heightened protection and continuity in their national security measures."

iA-thenticate Smart Chip verifies data in e-passports and the MRZ (machine-readable zone) and expiration date. The system captures, analyzes, and authenticates information contained in travel and identity documents with color images and populates applications with information contained in the identity document. Additionally iA-thenticate tests information for formatting consistency to confirm authenticity. Australia's leadership in the deployment and usage of this technology has been recognized by other Viisage customers and prospects as exemplary, particularly in the application of ferreting out terrorists attempting to enter the country. As electronic passports become a standard around the world, Viisage will continue to provide leading products to ensure the authenticity of these important identity documents. Viisage is already at the forefront of the e-passport wave, providing RFID document authentication to the countries that are the most progressive and innovative regarding identity and safeguarding their national borders. Viisage is helping to make the use of e-passports a travel advantage for citizens of these countries by quickly and securely authenticating e-passports.

New TouchPrint(TM) 4100 Slap & Roll Live Fingerprint Scanning Unit from Identix Delivers Enhanced Image Definition in a Compact Footprint
Tuesday June 20, 2:02 pm ET
Goes beyond federal government mandate for small form factor to deliver exceptional quality, reliability and ease of use for maximum identification performance

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2006--Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX - News), the world's leading provider of multi-biometric solutions, today set a new standard of image quality within federally mandated form factor requirements for live scan fingerprint image scanning devices with the introduction of the TouchPrint(TM) Enhanced Definition 4100 Slap & Roll Live Scan. The product delivers revolutionary enhanced definition capabilities in a more compact unit -- a 6 inch by 6 inch footprint that weighs less than five pounds. The unit goes beyond simply meeting physical size requirements to fit tabletop spaces, kiosks and portable applications by adding exceptional image detail and clarity when compared to standard definition systems. The product also incorporates a number of new features designed to enhance usability and performance for dual criminal and civil applications.

ADVERTISEMENT
Units are expected to be available for commercial shipment in September, 2006, with demonstration units available by end of July.

"We understand the challenges of fingerprint capture in the field more than any other live scan vendor," stated Dr. Joseph J. Atick, President and CEO of Identix. "Meeting the minimum form-factor requirements set forth by the federal agencies is important, but in our opinion, is not enough - image quality is of paramount importance, as is end user ease of use. Our customers have repeatedly experienced the superior image quality delivered by Identix' enhanced definition and understand this is the lynchpin to making an identification program successful. The ease of use and reliability features ensure that our customers continue to experience the other added benefits they have come to expect from us. For example, with no silicon pads to change, we have taken out a major source of variability and cost. We are pleased to provide this capability for both rolls and slaps in a small form factor, making it even more suitable and accessible for agencies that operate with space restrictions."

Many federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, Department of State, Department of Defense Biometrics Fusion Center, National Institute of Justice, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology have set forth minimum form factor requirements for new live scan image capture devices. The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 4100 is one of industry's smallest footprints for such a device and will become part of the next generation Enhanced Definition product line from Identix.

The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 4100 provides significantly higher pixel density and contrast, resulting in images that have far more fine ridge detail than dictated by the Appendix F requirements. Like other Enhanced Definition live scans from Identix, the TouchPrint 4100 employs technologies that take into account subjects with different size fingers and skin colors, sweaty fingers and users rolling fingers at different speeds. The system produces clear, crisp fingerprint images with virtually no distortion or false minutiae that can be caused by smudging and smearing.

Auto capture features like audio and visual cues guide a user to correct finger placement and to when the processing is complete. The interface allows for a user to easily switch back and forth from slap and roll capture modes, and with a slap capture time of under 15 seconds, is intuitive and fast. The TouchPrint 4100 is designed to maintain consistent image quality over time. With no moving parts in the optics deck and no silicon pads or coatings to change, this portable, compact live scan provides maximum reliability and minimal downtime, lowering the total overall cost of ownership.

Dr. Atick added, "Given the versatility and flexibility of this device, it is ideal for border management agencies worldwide, and other entities that have dual requirements for slap and roll fingerprints. Our longstanding history in working closely with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and other state, local, and federal agencies, and international organizations helps to ensure that our solutions not only meet their needs, but continue to accelerate biometric technology advancements overall."

L-1 Identity Solutions to Acquire SpecTal, LLC
L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ID) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held SpecTal, LLC, a top provider of consulting services to the United Stated Intelligence Community. SpecTal provides comprehensive security and intelligence solutions, specializing in government consulting, training, and technology development. Featured in the May issue of Virginia Business Magazine, SpecTal was at the top of the annual list of Virginia's 50 fastest-growing companies as it has experienced rapid revenue and profit growth since its founding in 1999.

Under the terms of its definitive agreement with SpecTal, L-1 Identity Solutions will pay SpecTal shareholders $100.0 million in cash. SpecTal shareholders have the opportunity to earn up to an additional $10.0 million in consideration if key performance thresholds are reached. The acquisition of SpecTal is expected to be funded primarily by bank debt.

SpecTal was founded in 1999 by the husband and wife team of John A. Cross and Louise Brouillette. Based in Reston, Virginia, SpecTal's customers are primarily the U.S. Intelligence and Military communities. The company will provide L-1 Identity Solutions (Nachrichten) with a strong Federal presence. Ann Holcomb, current SpecTal Vice President, will become President and executives Ron Hammond and Ed Balint will continue as Executive Vice Presidents. The SpecTal team is comprised of former Senior Intelligence Community leaders and recipients of numerous awards and commendations for unique accomplishments and career services. Approximately 95 percent of the company's 325 employees have Top Secret Security Clearances. The company offers a broad range of expertise, including government consulting, counterintelligence, counterterrorism and threat vulnerability assessment.

"SpecTal will enhance our relationships within the intelligence community and provide additional opportunities for us to develop and sell products to an expanded customer base," said Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, President and CEO of L-1 Identity Solutions. "The caliber of people at SpecTal is second to none in the industry; their experience coupled with their strong relationships in the Intelligence community will be a critical asset in the development and deployment of identity solutions."

According to John A. Cross, co-founder and current President of SpecTal, "We believe that L-1 is the right company to acquire SpecTal as it will give the company access to additional markets and provide great opportunities for our leadership team and the entire organization."

"Joining the L-1 portfolio of companies is a great opportunity not only for SpecTal and its employees but for the industry as a whole," remarked Ann Holcomb, Vice President of SpecTal. "Our specialized area of expertise is the perfect complement to L-1's current portfolio of solution oriented products and services and will serve to further strengthen the company's already impressive offerings."

The company has an estimated backlog in excess of $140 million. SpecTal's revenue is expected to be approximately $60 million with $9.0 million in EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2006. Closing of the SpecTal transaction, which is anticipated to occur in October 2006, is subject to the satisfaction of a number of customary precedent conditions, including obtaining customary regulatory approval.

Jeffries Quarterdeck, a division of Jeffries &Co., Inc. rendered a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors of L-1 Identity Solutions, in connection with the transaction.

EBITDA

L-1 Identity Solutions uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income (loss) interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measures help illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measures to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business, and evaluate performance. Management also believes that EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing L-1 Identity Solutions' financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which also use EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as amortization and depreciation as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, L-1 Identity Solutions can evaluate its operations and can compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies in the industry and to its operations in prior quarters. As noted above, EBITDA excludes the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Because EBITDA eliminates these items, L-1 Identity Solutions considers this financial measure to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a good measure of the Company's historical operating trend. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Estimated pro forma EBITDA for 2006 has been calculated by adding estimated pro forma depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million, and a pro forma tax provision of $2.0 million to pro forma estimated net income of $5.5 million.
