|(1) | Potential gains are net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. These amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation only, based on SEC rules, and
therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, in our stock price. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common stock, overall market conditions and the option
holders continued employment through the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | All options were granted pursuant to our 2000 stock incentive plan and have a 10 year term. Options granted under our 2000 stock incentive plan generally become vested on a monthly
basis over a 36-month period, but are not exercisable until optionee has been employed with us for nine months, and they remain exercisable subject to the optionees continuous employment with us. Under our 2000 stock incentive plan, our board
of directors retains discretion to modify the terms, including the prices, of outstanding options.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | All options were granted at market value on the date of grant.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements



Employment Contracts



In June 2001, we entered into an employment agreement with Glenn L. Argenbright, our president and chief executive officer. The agreement provided for the
payment to Mr. Argenbright of an initial $100,000 minimum base annual salary, a $5,000 signing bonus, and a $100,000 bonus based on the achievement of certain objectives. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Argenbright was granted an option under our
2000 stock incentive plan to purchase 35,715 shares of our common stock, vesting in three equal increments on an annual basis. In the event of a sale, change of control or merger, or a termination of Mr. Argenbrights employment with us, his
options will fully vest and become immediately exercisable. Mr. Argenbright is also entitled to receive the equivalent of three months base salary if his employment with us is terminated for any reason other than cause or if the board of
directors appoints someone else to the position of chief executive officer. On February 11, 2002, our board of directors approved certain modifications to Mr. Argenbrights compensation, including an increase in his base salary to $175,000
effective as of January 1, 2002, an option under our 2000 stock incentive plan to purchase 217,665 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.07 per share, a salary advance of $20,000, and certain potential cash bonuses tied to our
performance and targeted revenue objectives. In December 2002, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors approved an increase in Mr. Argenbrights base annual compensation to $216,000, which increase provided
for an initial lump sum payment of $27,460. In February 2003, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors approved certain additional modifications to Mr. Argenbrights compensation, including a $12,000
increase in Mr. Argenbrights annual base compensation to $228,000, an option grant under our 2000 stock incentive plan to purchase 436,120 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, and an increase in the duration of
Mr. Argenbrights severance provision from three months to twelve months.



On April 14, 2000, we entered into an employment agreement with Walter G. Hamilton, our vice president of business development. The agreement provides for the payment to Mr. Hamilton of an initial annual salary of

Change-in-Control Arrangements



Retention Agreements.In addition to the employment arrangements described above, on October 31, 2002, we entered into retention agreements with
each of Ann M. Alexander, Jon C. Engman, Gregory C. Jensen, and Walter G. Hamilton. These retention agreements provide that if the employee is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination (as defined in the retention agreements), then he or
she shall be entitled to receive the compensation, accrued but unused vacation and benefits earned through the date of termination of employment, and severance payments equal to four months salary, payable in accordance with our standard
payroll practices. However, if the employee is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination within two months prior to, upon or within twelve months following a change-of-control, then he or she will be entitled to receive the following: (a)
the compensation, accrued but unused vacation and benefits earned through the date of termination; (b) severance payments equal to four months salary, payable in a lump sum within thirty days of the date of termination; (c) vesting of 100% of any
unvested options as of the date of termination; (d) for a period of up to twelve months after the date of termination, reimbursement of any COBRA premiums paid by the employee for continued group health insurance coverage of employee and his or her
dependents; and (e) the laptop or other portable computer device used by the employee, if any, as of the date of termination.



2000 Stock Incentive Plan.Pursuant to our 2000 stock incentive plan, in the event of a change-in-control, if the acquiring company does not
assume, or substitute new options for, all outstanding options, all shares subject to outstanding options will become fully vested and exercisable prior to the change-in-control.



Compensation of Directors



Each of our non-employee directors is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of
directors. Non-employee directors receive fees of $1,000 for each board meeting attended in person, and fees of $500 for each board meeting attended telephonically.

Upon election or appointment to the board of directors, each new non-employee director receives an option
to purchase an aggregate number of shares of our common stock under our 2000 stock incentive plan determined by the formula: X = (50,000/12)(12-Y); where X = the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such option, and Y = the number of
full months elapsed since the most recent annual meeting of our stockholders; at an exercise price equal to the closing price per share of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on the last trading day prior to such election or
appointment, which represents the fair market value on such date. The option becomes exercisable in equal monthly installments over the period defined as (12-Y) following the date of grant if such person is still serving as a director at such time.



Each non-employee director receives an option to purchase
50,000 shares of our common stock under the our 2000 stock incentive plan on the date of our annual meeting of stockholders and at an exercise price equal to the closing price per share of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
on the last trading day prior to such annual meeting, which represents the fair market value on such date. The option becomes exercisable in twelve equal monthly installments following the date of grant if such person is still serving as a director
at such time.



Each member of the audit committee receives an
annual retainer $20,000 to be paid in equal quarterly installments if such person is still serving as a member of the audit committee at the time such payment is to be made. Each member of the compensation committee receives an annual retainer
$15,000 to be paid in equal quarterly installments if such person is still serving as a member of the compensation committee at the time such payment is to be made. Members of the board of directors will not receive more than one retainer for
serving on more than one committee, but will receive the highest retainer amount allowed by the committees on which they serve. In addition, the chairman of the audit committee and the chairman of the compensation committee each receives an
additional annual retainer of $5,000 to be paid in equal quarterly installments if such person is still serving as chairman at the time such payment is to be made.

subsidiary. In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, certain of our directors, executive officers and affiliates entered into stockholder agreements with SSP, and certain of SSPs directors, executive officers and affiliates
entered into stockholder agreements with us. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of SSP in a stock-for-stock transaction where each share of SSP common stock will be exchanged for 0.6 shares
of our common stock.



On February 26, 2004, we raised
approximately $9.2 million through a private placement of shares of our common stock. We sold a total of 3,080,000 shares of our common stock to a group of accredited institutional investors at a price of $3.00 per share. Investors also received

shares of common stock in the financing. The placement agent for the financing was Burnham Hill Partners. The per share purchase price represented a discount of approximately 8.3% to the $3.27 per share closing sale price for shares of our common
stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on February 25, 2004, the trading day prior to the closing of the financing.



On December 29, 2003, we acquired certain assets and rights used in connection with the digital identity and biometric-enhanced physical access security
business of Information Systems Support and Biometric Solutions Group. Mr. Turbeville, our senior vice president of physical access systems, served as senior vice president and chief technology officer for Information Systems Support prior to the
acquisition. Mr. Turbeville is also a shareholder of Biometric Solutions Group, Inc. We paid approximately $4.1 million for the acquired assets, which consisted of $500,000 in cash and 1,122,855 shares of our common stock. Subject to certain
transfer restrictions, Information Systems Support and Biometric Solutions Group have agreed not to sell the shares of common stock received in the transaction for a period of three years. At closing of the transaction, we placed approximately 47%
of the purchase price, comprising 600,000 shares of our common stock, into an escrow for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of Information Systems Support and Biometric Solutions Group. Subject to certain exceptions, 300,000 of
the shares will remain in escrow for a period of one year from the closing date, and the balance of the shares will remain in escrow for a period of two years from the closing date, and in each case until all pending claims for indemnification, if
any, have been resolved.

statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by KPMG LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

The audit committees policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors. These
services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular category of services. The independent auditor
and management are required to periodically report to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditor in accordance with this pre-approval. The chairman of the audit committee is also authorized, pursuant to
delegated authority, to pre-approve additional services and such approvals are communicated to the full audit committee at its next meeting.



The audit committee has considered the role of KPMG LLP in providing tax and benefit plan related services and other non-audit services to us and has
concluded that such services are compatible with KPMGs independence as our auditors.



For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, the audit committee pre-approved all services described above in the captions Audit Fees and Tax Fees. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, no hours
expended on KPMG LLPs engagement to audit our financial statements were attributed to work performed by persons other than full-time, permanent employees of KPMG LLP.
