                              PART III

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP TABLE

         As of the close of business on March 29, 2004, a total of 38,816,398
shares of our common stock were outstanding. The following table sets forth
information as of that date regarding the beneficial ownership of our common
stock by:

         o    each of our directors;

         o    each of our current executive officers who is named in the summary
              compensation table;

         o    all of our directors and executive officers as
              a group; and

         o    each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the
              outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of the
              table.

         Except as indicated below, the address for each named beneficial owner
is the same as ours. The inclusion of shares in this table as beneficially owned
is not an admission of beneficial ownership. Percentages shown as an asterisk
represent less than 1.00%.

         Except as described in the footnotes to the table, beneficial ownership
is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Commission, and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except
as indicated below, we believe each holder possesses sole voting and investment
power with respect to all of the shares of common stock owned by that holder,
subject to community property laws where applicable. In computing the number of
shares beneficially owned by a holder and the percentage ownership of that
holder, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants or underlying
notes or preferred stock held by that holder that are currently exercisable or
convertible or are exercisable or convertible within 60 days after the date of
the table are deemed outstanding. Those shares, however, are not deemed
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person or group.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

         In March 2004, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
and Reorganization with SAFLINK. The merger agreement with SAFLINK contemplates
that we will merge with a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of SAFLINK and
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAFLINK, with each share of our common
stock being exchanged for 0.6 shares of SAFLINK common stock. The consummation
of the merger is subject to the adoption by the our stockholders of the merger
agreement, the approval by SAFLINK stockholders of the issuance of shares of
SAFLINK common stock in the merger, and other customary closing conditions.

         A substantial number of shares of our common stock will potentially
be issued upon conversion of derivative securities issued to investors and
the placement agent and exchange agent in the Series A Preferred Stock financing
and other bridge financing transactions. If beneficial ownership limitations are
waived or otherwise become inoperative, the holders of those derivative
securities may collectively be in a position to effectuate a change of control
by converting their notes and preferred stock into, and exercising their
warrants for, a number of shares of our common stock that represents in excess
of 50% of our voting power.
