General
Communication Intelligence Corporation (the “Company” or “CIC”) was incorporated in Delaware in October 1986. Communication Intelligence Corporation and its joint venture (the “Company” or “CIC”)CIC is a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions for business process automation in the financial industry as well asproducts and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification. CIC’s products enableCIC enables companies to achieve truly paperless workflow in their eBusinesselectronic business processes withby providing multiple signature technologies across virtually all applicationsapplications. CIC’s solutions are available both in SaaSsoftware-as-a-service (“SaaS”) and fully deployedon-premise delivery models.models and afford “straight-through-processing,” which can increase customer revenue by enhancing user experience and can also reduce costs through paperless and virtually error-free electronic transactions that can be completed significantly faster than paper-based procedures. To date, the Company primarily has delivered biometric and electronic signature solutions to over 400 channel partners and enterprises worldwide, representing hundreds users, with over 500 million electronic signatures captured, eliminating the need for over a billion pieces of paper. These deployments are primarilyend-user customers in the financial industry and include AEGON/World Financial Group, AGLA, Allstate Insurance Company, Charles Schwab & Co., Prudential Financial, Inc., Snap-On-Credit, State Farm Insurance Co., Travelers Indemnity Company, and Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The Company provides the most comprehensive and scalable electronic signature solutions based on over 20 years of experience and significant input from CIC’s valued financial industry client base. The Company is also a leading supplier of natural input/text entry software for handheld computers and smartphones. Major customers for natural input software are Palm Inc. and Sony Ericsson Corp.. CIC sells directly to enterprises and through system integrators, channel partners and OEMs.services industry. The Company is headquartered in Redwood Shores, California and has a joint venture, Communication Intelligence Computer Corporation Limited ("CICC"), in Nanjing, China.California.
RevenueFor the year ended December 31, 2010 total revenue was $851, a decrease of $1,085, or 56%, compared to total revenue of $1,936 in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2010, product revenue was $197, a decrease of $988, or 83%, compared to product revenue of $1,185 in the prior year. Maintenance revenue for the year ended December 31, 20082010 was $2,401$654, a decrease of $97, or 13%, compared to $2,145 formaintenance revenue of $751 in the prior year. The Company believes the decrease in product revenue is primarily due to the slow and moderate increase in IT spending by large financial service companies (historically, CIC’s primary target market) in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis and recession. The decrease in maintenance revenue is primarily due to due to lower maintenance revenue from four customers that signed multi year contracts at a reduced annual rate.
For the year ended December 31, 2007 an increase of $256 or 12%. Revenue for 2008 was primarily attributable to AEGON/World Financial Group, AGLA, Allscripts-Misys, Allstate Insurance Company (“Allstate”), Charles Schwab & Co., Oracle Corporation, Palm Inc., Prudential Financial Inc., SnapOn Credit LLC, Sony Ericsson Corp., Tennessee Valley Authority, Travelers Indemnity Company (“Travelers”), and Wells Fargo Bank NA.
The insurance industry is focusing on its eBusiness strategies not only to reduce transaction costs but to forge closer relationships with their customers and agents. According to2010, the September 2008 Forrester Research report “North American Insurance IT Spending in 2008,” 49% of US insurance companies surveyed indicated that increasing or expanding their online presence and eCommerce capabilities was a critical or high priority for them. This shift to eBusiness is a fundamental change for the industry, since insurance is all about producing documents, whether the paper that document is “printed” on is real or virtual. Technologies like electronic signature figure prominently in successful eBusiness strategies, since they accelerate the quote to revenue process while fostering better customer experiences. Based upon prior large scale deployments at AEGON/World Financial Group, AGLA, Prudential, State Farm, and two recent wins with Travelers and Allstate in the last half of 2008, together with pending orders from other insurance carries, the Company believes CIC is emerging as the leading and preferred supplier of electronic signature solutions for property/casualty and life insurance applications.
Regarding the banking sector, according to the Forrester research entitled “Industry Essentials: US Retail Banking”, US banks and lenders are challenged with the need to increase revenue while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of their processes in the face of increased regulatory and compliance demands exacerbated by the recent subprime and credit crisis. This crisis is driving increased regulatory controls and the need to administer the billions of bailout dollars to settle troubled mortgages and CIC believes this will accelerate the deployment of electronic signature technology based solutions to address those challenges. In addition, regional and mid-size banks, unencumbered by the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) related difficulties, appear to be pursuing automation more actively than in the past.
CIC was recently named to Forrester Research’s “Hot Companies to Watch in 2009” Report. The Company is pleased to be recognized for its contribution to automating the mortgage workout process. Partnering with Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC") to integrate our technologies to deliver a "software as a service" ("SaaS")-based electronic signature solution reduces a very lengthy and painful
process involving many parties that can often take several months to less than three days, alleviating borrower stress along with significant expense reductions. This product offering reflects the timeliness and benefits of our technology coupled with our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate our technology with selected partner offerings to significantly enhance the value of the end solution.
Currently, the Company is experiencing what it believes are normal delays in IT orders consistent with standard procedure as enterprises enter a new year and budget period. Although the Company sees no significant indications suggesting that the adverse market conditions impacting our customer base of financial institutions have resulted in any delays or cancellation of IT spending that would significantly impact planned automation programs involving our technology, the elevated review and prioritization purchase processes have delayed anticipated early 2009 deployments. In recognition that such delays could result in the short-term need for additional funds, prior to achievement of cash flow positive operations, we are investigating alternative financing sources, including investments from selected strategic partners.

The standard version of Jot, which is available through OEM customers, recognizes and supports input of Roman-based Western European languages.
Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks
The Company relies on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and contractual provisions to protect its software offerings and technologies. The Company has a policy of requiring its employees and contractors to respect proprietary information through written agreements. The Company also has a policy of requiring prospective business partners to enter into non-disclosure agreements before disclosure of any of its proprietary information.
Over the years, the Company has developed and patented major elements of its software offerings and technologies. In addition, in October 2000 the Company acquired, from PenOp, Inc. and its subsidiary, a significant patent portfolio relevant to the markets in which the Company sells its products. The Company’s patents and the years in which they each expire are as follows:
| | Patent No. | Expiration | |
| | 5544255 | 2013 | |
| | 5647017 | 2014 | |
| | 5818955 | 2015 | |
| | 5933514 | 2016 | |
| | 6064751 | 2017 | |
| | 6091835 | 2017 | |
| | 6212295 | 2018 | |
| | 6381344 | 2019 | |
| | 6487310 | 2019 | |
The Company believes that these patents provide a competitive advantage in the electronic signature and biometric signature verification markets. The Company believes the technologies covered by the patents are unique and allow it to produce superior products. The Company also believes these patents are broad in their coverage. The technologies go beyond the simple handwritten signature and include measuring electronically the manner in which a person signs to ensure tamper resistance and security of the resultant documents and the use of other systems for identifying an individual and using that information to close a transaction. The Company believes that the patents are sufficiently broad in coverage that products with substantially similar functionality would infringe its patents. Moreover, because the majority of these patents do not expire for another four to 10, the Company believes that it has sufficient time to develop new related technologies, which may be patentable, and to establish CIC as market leader in these product areas. Accordingly, the Company believes that for a significant period of time its patents will deter competitors from introducing competing products without creating substantially different technology or licensing or infringing its technology.
The Company has an extensive list of registered and unregistered trademarks and applications in the United States and other countries. The Company intends to register its trademarks generally in those jurisdictions where significant marketing of its products will be undertaken in the foreseeable future.

The remaining backlog is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.
Competition
The Company faces competition at different levels. The technology-neutral nature of the laws and regulations related to what constitutes an “electronic signature” and CIC’s multi-modal enterprise-wide suite of products causes the Company to compete with different companies depending upon the specific type of electronic signature sought by a prospective customer. Our principalCurrently, CIC’s primary competition for handwritten biometric signatures includes SoftPro, Wondernet, and low-end tablet vendors. CIC faces additional competition primarily fromis Silanis and DocuSign when the application is click-wrap, voice, fingerprint, password, and basic clickclick-to-sign technology. Principal competition for handwritten biometric signatures includes SoftPro, Wondernet and low-end tablet vendors. The Company believes it has a competitive advantage by offering solutions with a multitude of different electronic signature methods and that enable users to sign technology.
Certain of the Company’s significant competitorsvirtually any document format, in the natural input market segment include PenPower Groupany software environment, and Advanced Research Technology, Inc.on any hardware platform.
The Company believes that it has a competitive advantage, in part, due to CIC’s range of product offerings andincluding its patent portfolio.

Overview and Recent Developments
The Company is a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions for business process automation in the financial industry and is the recognized leader in biometric signature verification technology. Our products enable companies to achieve trulysecure paperless workflow in their eBusiness processesbusiness transactions with multiple signature technologies, across virtually all applications in SaaS and fully deployed delivery models.hardware platforms, and that are legally binding and compliant with applicable laws and regulations and that can provide a higher level of security than paper-based processes. The Company has been a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions within the financial services industry and has delivered significant expense reduction by enabling complete document and workflow automation.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in October 1986. Except for the year ended December 31, 2004, in each year since its inception the Company has incurred losses. For the three-yeartwo-year period ended December 31, 2008,2010, net losses attributable to common stockholders aggregated approximately $10,412$15,380, and, at December 31, 2008,2010, the Company's accumulated deficit was approximately $95,000.$107,337.
For the year ended December 31, 2008,2010, total revenues were $2,401, an increaserevenue was $851, a decrease of $256,$1,085, or 12%56%, compared to total revenuesrevenue of $2,145$1,936 in the corresponding prior year. The Company believes this decline in revenue is primarily attributable to the significant reduction in IT spending from the financial service companies in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis and recession.
The loss from operations forFor the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $51 to $2,244,2010, the loss from operations was $5,254, an increase of $2,484, or 90%, compared with a loss from operations of $2,193$2,770 in the prior year period. Thisyear. The increase in the operating loss is primarily attributedattributable to the net effect of higher recorded revenues, offset bylower revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010, and a $539charge of $1,009 related to the acceleration of amortization of certain capitalized software development costs.

From May through July 2010, the Company received $1,260 in additional funding through the issuance of additional secured indebtedness. In connection with these loans, the Company issued warrants to costpurchase18,000 shares of sales, related to meeting customer specific requirements associatedCommon Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which are exercisable for a period of three years from the integrationdate of our standard products into customer systems.issuance.
The Company continues to experience demand for its electronic signature technology across the financial industry despite the turmoil and volatility in the financial markets.
The insurance industry is focusing on its eBusiness strategies not only to reduce transaction costs but to forge closer relationships with their customers and agents. According to the September 2008 Forrester Research report “North American Insurance IT Spending in 2008,” 49% of US insurance companies surveyed indicated that increasing or expanding their online presence and eCommerce capabilities was a critical or high priority for them. This shift to eBusiness is a fundamental change for the industry, since insurance is all about producing documents, whether the paper that document is “printed” on is real or virtual. Technologies like electronic signature figure prominently in successful eBusiness strategies, since they accelerate the quote to revenue process while fostering better customer experiences. Based upon prior large scale deployments at AEGON/World Financial Group, AGLA, Prudential, State Farm, and two recent wins with Travelers and Allstate in the last half of 2008, together with pending orders from other insurance carries, the Company believes CIC is emerging as the leading and preferred supplier of electronic signature solutions for property/casualty and life insurance applications.
In the banking sector, according to the Forrester Research entitled “Industry Essentials: US Retail Banking”, US. banks and lenders are challenged with the need to increase revenue while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of their processes in the face of increased regulatory and compliance demands exacerbated by the recent sub prime debt and credit crisis. This crisis is driving increased regulatory controls and the need to administer the billions of bailout dollars to settle troubled mortgages and CIC believes this will accelerate the deployment of electronic signature technology-based solutions to address those challenges. In addition, regional and mid-size banks, unencumbered by the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) related difficulties; appear to be pursuing automation more actively than in the past. The Company’s joint solution with Computer Science Corporation (CSC) which automates the mortgage workout process, introduced in late 2008 with a webinar featuring Forrester Research, CSC and CIC, focused on the benefits of CSC’s EarlyResoltion platform with the added benefits of CIC’s electronic signature technology and has generated encouraging interest and anticipated 2009 revenue from the larger banks/mortgage companies.
So although the turmoil and volatility in the financial markets has resulted in higher level review purchase processes which have delayed IT purchases beyond the historic first quarter purchase delays associated with a New Year and budget process, it seems increasingly apparent that financial institutions recognize that CIC’s technology addresses those institutions needs for both revenue growth and expense reduction and we anticipate that the financial crises may well accelerate the adoption of electronic signature solutions in the overall financial industry and the Company believes 2009 revenue will exceed 2008.
In June 2008, the Company closed a financing transaction under which it raised capital through the issuancerecapitalization on August 5, 2010, issuing 6,608 shares of secured indebtedness and equity and restructured a portionSeries B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, in exchange for all of the Company’s existing debt. In connection with the transaction, the Company borrowed$6,608 of outstanding secured indebtedness under an aggregate of $3,000 and refinanced $638 of existing indebtedness and accrued interest on the Company’s existing indebtedness. In partial consideration for the respective loans made as described above, the Company issued to each creditor a warrant to purchase up to the number of shares of its Common Stock obtained by dividing the amount of such creditor’s loan by 0.14. A total of 25,982 shares of our Common Stock may be issued upon exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $0.14 per share. The issuance of the warrants was exempt from registration under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in its balance sheets and the amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses reported for each period presented are affected by these estimates and assumptions that are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible asset impairments, fair value of financial instruments, software development costs, research and development costs, foreign currency translation and net operating loss carryforwards.carry-forwards. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used by the Company’s management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives: The Company follows the relevant accounting guidance and records derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in the derivative’s fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company values these derivative securities under the fair value method at the end of each reporting period (quarter), and their value is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the gain or loss recognition recorded in earnings. The Company continues to revalue these instruments each quarter to reflect their current value in light of the current market price of our Common Stock. The Company utilizes a discounted Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value. Key assumptions of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates and the instrument’s expected remaining life. These assumptions require significant management judgment.
Revenue: Revenue is recognized when earned in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, including AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended, Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” ("SAB 104"), and the interpretive guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and EITF issue number 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Elements”, of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force.guidance. The Company recognizes revenuesrevenue from sales of software products upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all non-recurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's product to function within the customer's application has been completed and the Company's product has been delivered according to specifications. Revenue from service subscriptions is recognized as costs are incurred or over the service period which-everwhichever is longer.
Software license agreements may contain multiple elements, including upgrades and enhancements, products deliverable on a when and if available basis and post contract support. Revenue from software license agreements is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all nonrecurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's products to function within the customer's application has been completed, and the Company has delivered its product according to specifications.
Maintenance revenue is recorded for post-contract support and upgrades or enhancements, which is paid for in addition to license fees, and is recognized as costs are incurred or over the support period whichever is longer. For undelivered elements where objective and reliable evidence of fair value does not exist, revenue is deferred and subsequently recognized when delivery has occurred and when fair value has been determined.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s
estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company would adjust the allowance accordingly.
Long-lived assets: The Company performs intangible asset impairment analyses in accordance with the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” ("SFAS No. 142") and Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” ("SFAS No. 144").applicable accounting guidance. The Company uses SFAS 144the guidance in response to changes in industry and market conditions that affect its patents, the Company then determines if an impairment of its assets has occurred. The Company reassesses the lives of its patents and tests for impairment at least annually in order to determine whether the book value exceeds the fair value for each patent. Fair value is determined by estimating future cash flows from the products that are and will be protected by the patents and considering the following additional factors:
| · | whether there are legal, regulatory or contractual provisions known to the Company that limit the useful life of any patent to less than the assigned useful life; |
| · | whether the Company needs to incur material costs or make modifications in order for it to continue to be able to realize the protection afforded by the patents; |
| · | whether any effects of obsolescence or significant competitive pressure on the Company’s current or future products are expected to reduce the anticipated cash flow from the products covered by the patents; |
| · | whether demand for products utilizing the patented technology will diminish, remain stable or increase; and |
| · | whether the current markets for the products based on the patented technology will remain constant or will change over the useful lives assigned to the patents. |
The Company obtained an independent valuation from Strategic Equity Group of the carrying value of its patents as of December 31, 2005. The Company believes that the biometric market potential identified in current year market research has improved over the data used to validate the carrying value of the Company’s patents at the end of 2005. Management updated this analysis at December 31, 20082010 and believes that that no impairment of the carrying value of the patents exists at December 31, 2008.2010.
Customer Base: To date, the Company's eSignature revenues haveelectronic signature revenue has been derived primarily from financial service industry end-users and from resellers and channel partners serving the financial service industry primarily in North America, the ASEAN Region including China (PRC), and Europe. Natural Input (text entry) revenues have been derived primarily from hand held computer and smart phone manufacturers (OEMs) primarily in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
Software Development Costs: Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS 86").applicable accounting guidance. Under SFAS 86,that guidance, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. The costs capitalized include the coding and testing of the product after technological feasibility has been established and ends upon the release of the product. The annual amortization is the greater of (a)equal to the straight-line amortization over the estimated useful life not to exceed three years or (b)lives of the amount based on the ratiosoftware and varies by type of current revenues to anticipated future revenues.software. The Company generally subdivides its software into product software, server software and software-as-a-service. The Company capitalized software development costs of $813,approximately $772 and $788$813 for the years ended December 31, 20082010 and 2007.2009, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company decided to accelerate the amortization of its software portfolio to better reflect the transition of its offering from being mostly product-based to becoming mostly server and service-based and to provide a closer match with the useful life of the development costs being capitalized. This acceleration resulted in a one-time increase in amortization expense of $1,009.
Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards:Carry-forwards: Utilization of the Company's net operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. As a result, a portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforwardscarry-forwards may not be
available to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at December 31, 20082010 of approximately $27$27.4 million based upon the Company's history of losses.
Segments: The Company reports its financial results in one segment.

RevenuesRevenue
Total revenue forFor the year ended December 31, 20082010, total revenue was $851, a decrease of $2,401 increased $256,$1,085, or 11%56%, compared to revenuestotal revenue of $2,145$1,936 in the prior year. ProductFor the year ended December 31, 2010, product revenue reflects an increase of $492, or 54%, in eSignature revenues andwas $197, a decrease of $254,$988, or 30%83%, in natural input revenues compared to $1,185 in the prior year. The increaseCompany believes the decrease in revenuesproduct revenue is primarily due to the relative sizeslow and moderate increase in IT spending by large financial service companies (historically, CIC’s primary target market) in the aftermath of orders between the comparable years offset by lower reported royalties from a major natural input/Jot customer. Maintenance revenue of $715 increased 2%, or $18, forrecent financial crisis and recession. For the year ended December 31, 20082010, maintenance revenue was $654, a decrease of $97, or 13%, compared to $697maintenance revenue of $751 in the prior year period. The increase wasyear. This decrease is primarily due to newlower maintenance revenue from four customers that signed multi year contracts associated with new product revenues and renewal of maintenance contracts from ongoing customers.
The September 2008 Forrester Research report “North American Insurance IT Spending in 2008,” indicates 49% of U.S. insurance companies surveyed indicated that increasing or expanding their online presence and eCommerce capabilities wasat a critical or high priority for them. Based upon our prior large scale deployments at AEGON/World Financial Group, AGLA, Prudential, State Farm, and two recent wins with Allstate and Travelers in the last half of 2008, together with pending orders from other insurance carriers, we believe CIC is emerging as the leading and preferred supplier of electronic signature solutions for property/casualty and life insurance applications.
In addition, we believe U.S. banks and lenders are challenged with the need to increase revenue while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of their processes in the face of increased regulatory and compliance demands exacerbated by the recent subprime debt and credit crisis. This crisis is driving increased regulatory controls and the need to administer the billions of bailout dollars to settle troubled mortgages and we believe this will accelerate the deployment of electronic signature technology based solutions to address those challenges. Furthermore, regional and mid-size banks, unencumbered by TARP related difficulties, appear to be pursuing automation more actively than in the past.
Despite an extremely difficult economic environment, revenue of $1.6 million for the last half of 2008 was up 33% over the last half of 2007, which the Company believes reflects the sustained level of sales related activity we are experiencing going into 2009. We are encouraged by the increasing awareness and understanding of the benefits associated with our technology and a heightened sense by financial institutions that they need to automate to survive.
Currently, we are experiencing what the Company believes are normal delays in IT orders consistent with standard procedure as enterprises enter a new year and budget period. Although the Company sees no significant indications suggesting that the adverse market conditions impacting financial institutions have resulted in delays or cancellation of IT expenditures that would significantly impact expenditures involving CIC technology, there can be no assurance that this will not occur. reduced annual rate.

Research and development expenses decreased approximately 58%, or $278, to $198 forFor the year ended December 31, 20082010, research and development expenses were $431, an increase of $88, or 26%, compared to $476research and development expenses of $343 in the prior year. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, outside engineering as required, maintenance items, and allocated facilitiesfacility expenses. The most significant factor contributing to the $278 decreaseincrease in these expenses was the transfera charge of $454 in direct engineering expenses associated with the contract revenues to cost of sales. In addition salaries and$1,009 related expenses increased 13% compared to the prior year due to the additionacceleration of one engineer. The stock based compensation expense increased 105%, or $19, forcertain capitalized software development costs. For the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was due to options issued in July of 20082010, total research and vesting in the current year period.

In 2010, a senior level engineer was transferred to sales and marketing in the position of sales engineer. The transfer resulted in a reduction of total engineering expense before allocations. Research and development expenses before capitalization of software development costs, as well as the amounts to be capitalized on future product development, are expected to remain consistent with the 20082010 amount in the near term.
Sales and Marketing Expenses

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in attendance at health care and insurance industry summits, and increased engineering sales support associated with increased proposal activities. These increases were off set by a decreaseof $199, or 28%, in salary and related expense, including stock based compensation, resulting fromexpenses, which was the reductionresult of the Company’s employees returning to full salary in January 2010 following a six-month period in which the compensation of the Company’s employees had been reduced by 14% under the terms of a salary reduction plan agreed to by the Company's employees in June 2009, and an increase in head count of one senior level sales and marketing staff by two.

Delays in IT orders consistent with standard procedure as enterprises enter aclosing new year and budget period. Although the Company sees no significant indications suggesting that the adverse market conditions impacting our customer base of financial institutions have resulted in delays or cancellation of IT expenditures that would significantly impact planned automation programs involving our technology, the elevated review and prioritization purchase processes have delayed anticipated early 2009 deployments.

If adequate funds are not available when needed, the Company may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its marketing and development efforts or other operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and prospects. In addition, as a result of the 2008 financing transaction, the holders of the Company’s debt that matures in 2011 hold a first position security interest in all of the assets. As a result of this uncertainty, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about on our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company attempts to limit this exposure by investing primarily in short-term securities. The Company did not enter into any short-term security investments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.2010.
Foreign Currency Risk. The Company operates a joint venture in China and from time to time makescould make certain capital equipment or other purchases denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company's cash flows and earnings arecould be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company attemptswould attempt to limit these exposuresany such exposure through operational strategies and generally has not hedged currency exposures.exposure.
Future Results and Stock Price Risk. The Company's stock price may be subject to significant volatility. The public stock markets have experienced significant volatility in stock prices in recent years. The stock prices of technology companies have experienced particularly high volatility, including, at times, severe price changes that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. The trading price of the Company's Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other factors, quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, announcements of new strategic relationships by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the computer industry or the global economy generally, or market volatility unrelated to the Company's business and operating results.

Based on that evaluation,review, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that theseour disclosure controls and procedures are effective.effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The Company considered these limitations during the development of its disclosure controls and procedures, and will continually reevaluate them to ensure they provide reasonable assurance that such controls and procedures are effective.

Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Communication Intelligence Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Communication Intelligence Corporation and its subsidiary (“the Company”) as of December 31, 20082010 and 2007,2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008.2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Communication Intelligence Corporation and its subsidiary as of December 31, 20082010 and 2007,2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008,2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant recurring operating losses and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard related to whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s stock.

Going concern:concern and management plans:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Except for 2004, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and, at December 31, 2008,2010, the Company’s accumulated deficit was approximately $95,000.$107,300. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has primarily funded these losses through the sale of debt and equity securities.
In September 2007, As of December 31, 2010, the Company closedCompany’s cash balance was approximately $1,879.

Basis of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and include the accounts of Communication Intelligence Corporation and its 90% owned-owned Joint Venture in the People's Republic of China. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in thousands of dollars except per share amounts.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and long-term debt approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The derivative liability has been stated at fair value using a discounted Black-Sholes option pricing model (Note 4).
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents (level 1 inputs), at December 31, consisted of the following:
| | | 2008 | | | 2007 | | 2010 | 2009 |

Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. This diversification of risk is consistent with Company policy to maintain liquidity, and mitigate risk of loss as to principal. At December 31, 2008, the Joint Venture had approximately $1 in cash accounts held by a financial institution in the People's Republic of China.
To date, accounts receivable have been derived principally from revenuesrevenue earned from end users, manufacturers, and distributors of computer products in North America and the Pacific Rim.America. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.

Concentrations of credit risk (continued):
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company will adjust the allowance accordingly.
Deferred financing costs:
Deferred financing costs include costs paid in cash, such as professional fees and commissions. The costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes or upon early payment using the effective interest method. The costs amortized to interest expense amounted to $124 and $75,$218 for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2010. The costs amortized to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $425, including $212 of unamortized fees written off due to cancellation of the June 2008 and 2007, respectively.notes in May 2009.
Property and equipment, net:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the term of the related lease. The cost of additions and improvements is capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense was $66$19 and $78$25 for the years ended December 31, 20082010 and 2007,2009, respectively. The Chinese Joint Venture disposed of certain assets at net book value of $3 in 2007.

Patents are stated at cost less accumulated amortization that, in management’s opinion, does not exceed fair value. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets, ranging from five to seventeen years. Amortization expense was $379 and $378 for the years ended December 31, 20082010 and 2007,2009, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $379 for each of the fivesix years through December 31, 2013.2017. The estimated remaining weighted average useful lives of the patents are 86 years. The patents identified as "various" are technically narrow or dated patents that the Company believes the expiration of which will not be material to its operations. At December 31, 2008,2010, the net carrying value of those patents is $0.
The useful lives assigned to the patents are based upon the following assumptions and conclusions:
| · | The estimated cash flow from products based upon each patent are expected to exceed the value assigned to each patent; |
| · | There are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions known to the Company that limit the useful life of each patent to less than the assigned useful life; |
| · | No additional material costs need to be incurred or modifications made in order for the Company to continue to be able to realize the protection afforded by the patents; and |
| · | The Company does not foresee any effects of obsolescence or significant competitive pressure on its current or future products, anticipates increasing demand for products utilizing the patented technology, and believes that the current markets for its products based on the patented technology will remain constant or will grow over the useful lives assigned to the patents because of a legal, regulatory and business environment encouraging the use of electronic signatures. |

Patents (continued):
The Company performs intangible asset impairment analyses at least annually in accordance with the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwillthe Codification Topic ASC 350-30-05, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” ("SFAS 142"Other” ( “ASC 350”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the ImpairmentASC 360-05-4, “Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”Long-Lived Assets” ("SFAS 144"ASC 360"). The Company uses SFAS 144the guidance in ASC 350 in response to changes in industry and market conditions that affectsaffect its patents; the Company then determines if an impairment of its assets has occurred. The Company reassesses the lives of its patents and tests for impairment at least annually in order to determine whether the book value of each patent exceeds the fair value of each patent. Fair value is determined by estimating future cash flows from the products that are and will be protected by the patents and considering the additional factors listed in Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7 of this Form 10-K. The Company believes that no significant events or circumstances occurred or changed during the year ended December 31, 2010, and therefore concluded that no impairment in the carrying values of the patents existed at December 31, 2010.
Long-lived assets:
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets at least annually or whenever circumstances or events indicate such assets might be impaired. The Company would recognize an impairment charge in the event the net book value of such assets exceeded the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No such impairment charges have been recorded in the two years ended December 31, 2008.2010.
Software development costs:
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,the guidance in the Codification Topic 985-20, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS 86"ASC 985-20"). Under SFAS 86,ASC 985-20, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. The costs capitalized include the coding and testing of the product after the technological feasibility has been established and ends upon the release of the product. The annual amortization is the greater of (a)equal to the straight-line amortization over the estimated useful life not to exceed three years or (b)of the amount based on the ratiosoftware and varies by type of current revenues to anticipated future revenues.software. The Company performs periodic impairment reviews to ensure that unamortized deferred development costs remain recoverable from the projected future net cash flows that they are expected to generate.
The capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales. At December 31, 2008,During 2010 and 20072009, the Company had capitalized approximately $813,$772 and $788$813 of software development costs, respectively.costs. Amortization of capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 20082010 and 20072009, was $504$1,835 and $335,$704, respectively. The increase between periods is related to the Company’s decision to accelerate the amortization of its software portfolio to better reflect the transition of its offering from being mostly product-based to becoming mostly server and service-based and to provide a closer match with the useful life of the development costs being capitalized. This acceleration resulted in an increase in amortization expense of $1,009 in 2010.

Revenue from service subscriptions is recognized as costs are incurred or over the service period which-everwhich ever is longer. Software license agreements may contain multiple elements, including upgrades and enhancements, products deliverable on a when and if available basis and post contract support. Revenue from software license agreements is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is determined to be probable, all nonrecurring engineering work necessary to enable the Company's products to function within the customer's application has been completed, and the Company has delivered its product according to specifications.
For arrangements with multiple deliverables the Company allocates consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In the absence of the vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling prices, Management’s best estimate of the selling prices is use. For the Company’s tangible products containing software and hardware elements that function together and deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality is accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above.

1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAG No. 159 wasrevenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.on January 1, 2011 while early adoption is permitted. The Company did not elect to report any of its financial assets or liabilities at fair value, and as a result, the adoption of SFAS 159 had no material impactadopted these new accounting standards on its financial position and results of operations.
Recent pronouncements(continued):
Effective January 1, 2008,2010 using the Company partially adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principals,prospective method and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. As permitted by FSP FAS 157-2, the Company elected to defer the adoption of the nonrecurring fair value measurement disclosure of nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Had the Company’s results of operations, cash flows orCompany adopted these new standards in 2009, the impact on its consolidated financial position.
To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asset or liabilities;
Level 2—observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that arestatements would not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
Level 3—assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2008 with the exception of cash which is measured using level 1 inputs. There were no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value on a recurring basis as a result of partially adopting SFAS 157.have been material.
2. Chinese Joint Venture:
The Company currently owns 90% of a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with the Jiangsu Hongtu Electronics Group, a provincial agency of the People's Republic of China (the "Agency"). In June 1998, the registered capital of the Joint Venture was reduced from $10,000 to $2,550. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had contributed an aggregate of $1,800 in cash to the Joint Venture and provided it with non-exclusive licenses to technologies and certain distribution rights and the Agency had contributed certain land use rights. Following the reduction in registered capital of the Joint Venture, neither the Company nor the Agency is required to make further contributions to the Joint Venture. Prior to the reduction in the amount of registered capital, the Joint Venture was subject to the annual licensing requirements of the Chinese government. Concurrent with the reduction in registered capital, theThe Joint Venture's business license has been renewed throughexpires October 18, 2043.
Revenues from theThe Joint Venture were $0 and $39had no revenue for the years ended December 31, 20082010 and 2007,2009, respectively. There wereIt had no long livedlong-lived assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
3. Debt:
Immediately prior to the conversion of debt (the “Recapitalization”) in August 2010 (see Note 5), the Company had outstanding debt with a principal balance of $6,608 (recorded in the balance sheet net of a discount of $1,509). The outstanding balance included $1,260 of funds borrowed through bridge financing obtained in May, June and July 2010 with the following terms: an interest rate of 8% per annum and a maturity date of December 31, 2010. Warrants to purchase 18,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 per share expiring in periods from May 2013 through July 2013 were issued with the bridge financings. The remaining principal balance of $5,348 relates to funds raised in financing transactions in 2008 and 2007.2009. The funds raised in these financings had the following terms: interest at 8% per annum and, at the option of the Company, interest could be paid in cash or in kind. Warrants to purchase 80,154 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06 and an expiration date of June 30, 2012 were issued in the financing transactions. Upon execution of each financing a debt discount was recorded. At December 31, 2009, a discount of $2,222 was included in the debt balance. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing costs was $1,776 and $1,678, respectively. The unamortized discount of $1,509 was charged to paid-in capital in connection with conversion of the associated debt into shares of Series B Preferred Stock (Note 7). The warrants included in the financing transactions were determined to be derivative liabilities (Note 4).
In May and June 2010, the Company received loans aggregating $960 of the $1,260 in additional funding. The Company issued 16,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $0.06 per share.

Under Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, the Company received an additional $300 in secured indebtedness through the issuance of an additional secured promissory note to a new investor. In connection with the issuance of this additional secured promissory note to this investor, the Company also issued 2,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.06 per share. The warrant expires three years from the date of issuance. The Company ascribed a value of $60 to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount to “Current portion of long-term debt” in the balance sheet. Prior to conversion upon the closing of the Recapitalization on August 5, 2010, the additional secured promissory note was due to mature on December 31, 2010.
The Company closed the Recapitalization on August 5, 2010, issuing 6,608 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the Company’s outstanding secured indebtedness under the Exchange Agreement.

The note agreement, originally entered into in 2004, was modified in October 2007. The modification extended the maturity of the note through October 2009 and terminated the conversion feature of the note. In addition, the note holder received warrants to purchase two shares per one dollar of principal outstanding (234 warrants exercisable at the 20 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock ending October 25, 2007 ($ 0.29)). Holders of additional principal outstanding at the modification date of October 2007 in the amount of $1,265, did not except the modification terms and were repaid the outstanding principal and interest thereon on October 26, 2007.
Short-term debt as of December 31, 2007 consisted of a principal balance of $1,720, net of a remaining debt discount of $350. The outstanding debt included $1,170, net of a remaining debt discount of $247, due to a related party. The debt originated from three financing arrangements. One in November 2006, the second in March and April of 2007 and the third financing occurred in June 2007.
In November 2006, the Company borrowed $600, of which $450 was borrowed from Michael Engmann and the remaining $150 from an unrelated third party. The notes were due in May 2008, incurred interest at 15% and included warrants to purchase 3,111 shares of Common Stock (exercisable for three years commencing June 2007 with an exercise price of $0.51). The Company ascribed a fair value of $336 to warrants, which was recorded as a debt discount in the balance sheet. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was estimated on the commitment date using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.68%; expected life of 3 years; expected volatility of 54%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.
In June 2008, the $600 principal balance and unpaid interest thereon related to the November 2006 debt financing was exchanged and refinanced pursuant to the Credit Agreement (see Note 4).
In March and April 2007, the Company borrowed $720, of which $320 was borrowed from Michael Engmann and the remaining $400 from unrelated third parties. The notes were due in August 2008, incurred interest at 15%, and included warrants to purchase 3,474 shares of Common Stock (exercisable for three years commencing June 2007 with an exercise price of $0.51). The Company ascribed a fair value of $359 to the warrants, which was recorded as a debt discount in the balance sheet.

The Company ascribed a fair value of $187 to the warrants, which was recorded as a debt discount in the balance sheet. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was estimated on the commitment date using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.90%; expected life of 3 years; expected volatility of 69%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.
In June 2008, outstanding principal balances of $995 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $45 relating to the 2007 financing arrangements, were exchanged for Series A-1 Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Shares”) (see Note 5). The remaining $125 of outstanding principal and unpaid interest thereon related to the 2007 financings were repaid in September 2008.
The warrants to acquire 9,653 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued as part of the above referenced financings remain outstanding. These warrants are exercisable until June 2010. All of the shares underlying the warrants discussed above were registered with the Company’s Form S-1/A, which was declared effective December 28, 2007.

4. Long-term debt:
On June 5, 2008, the Company effected a financing transaction under which the Company raised capital through the issuance of new secured indebtedness and equity, and restructured a portion of the Company’s existing short-term debt (collectively, the “Financing Transaction”). Certain parties to the Financing Transactions (Phoenix Venture Fund LLC and Michael Engmann) had a pre-existing relationship with the Company and, with respect to such parties, the Financing Transaction may be considered a related party transaction.
Under the Financing Transaction, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), each dated as of June 5, 2008, with Phoenix Venture Fund LLC (“Phoenix”), Michael Engmann and Ronald Goodman (collectively with Phoenix, the “Creditors,” and each individually a “Creditor”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company received an aggregate of $3,000 and refinanced $638 of existing indebtedness and accrued interest on that indebtedness (individually, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”). The Loans, which are represented by secured promissory notes (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), bear interest at eight percent (8%) per annum which, at the option of the Company, may be paid in cash or in kind and mature June 5, 2010. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Loans to pay the Company’s existing indebtedness and accrued interest on that indebtedness that was not exchanged for preferred stock as described below, and may use the remaining proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, in each case in the ordinary course of business; and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Financing Transaction, which were approximately $452. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds of the Loans were used to repay a short term loan from a Company employee in the amount of $125, plus accrued interest, that was made prior to and in anticipation of the closing of the Financing Transaction. Under the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Company and its subsidiary, CIC Acquisition Corp., granted the Creditors a first priority security interest in and lien upon all of the assets of the Company and CIC Acquisition Corp.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement and in partial consideration for the Creditors’ respective Loans made pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as described above, the Company issued to each Creditor a warrant to purchase up to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock obtained by dividing the amount of such Creditor’s Loan by 0.14 (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the ‘Warrants”). A total of 25,982 shares of the Company’s Common Stock may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants are exercisable beginning June 30, 2008 until their expiration on June 30, 2011. The Warrants have an exercise price of fourteen cents ($0.14) per share. Additional Warrants may be issued if the Company exercises its option to make interest payments on the Loans in kind. The Company ascribed the relative fair value of $1,231 to the warrants, which is recorded as a discount to “Long-term debt” in the balance sheet. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the commitment date using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.73%; expected life of 3 years; expected volatility of 82.3%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.
In connection with the closing of the Financing Transaction, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) each dated as of June 5, 2008, (See Note 7).
The offer and sale of the Warrants and Preferred Shares as detailed above, including the Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof, was made in reliance upon exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and under exemptions from registration available under applicable state securities laws.Debt (continued):
Interest expense associated with the Company’s short and long-term debt for the year ended December 31, 20082010 and 20072009 was $1,137$2,039 and $1,253,$2,033, respectively, of which $973$1,974 and $440$1,912 was related party expense. Amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 20082010 and 20072009 was $849$1,776 and $969,$1,678, respectively, of which $730$1,719 and $305$1,600 was related party expense.
4. Derivative liability:
The Company follows the guidance found in the Derivative and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity topic in the Codification, ASC 815-40-15. Paragraphs 15-5 through 15-8 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. ASC 815-40-15 provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the scope exception. The Company adopted ASC 815-40-15 effective January 1, 2009, and determined that certain warrants and the embedded conversion feature on the Series A-1, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares require liability classification because of certain provisions that may result in an adjustment to the number of shares upon settlement and an adjustment to their exercise or conversion. The warrants were retroactively reclassified as liabilities, the result was a decrease in paid-in capital as of January 1, 2009 of $3,510, a decrease in accumulative deficit of $2,157 and the recognition of a liability of $1,353 during various dates. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature for the Series A-1 Preferred Shares at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was insignificant. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series B Preferred Shares on the initial valuation date was approximately $2.0 million. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series B Preferred Shares at December 31, 2010 was approximately $130 (Note 7). The fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the Series C Preferred Shares on the initial valuation date, December 31, 2010, was approximately $179.
The Company issued additional warrants to purchase 30,405 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2010, including 18,000 in connection with bridge financing, 3,469 for paid in-kind interest and 8,936 for services related to the Recapitalization and Purchase Agreements (Note 7). The issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares resulted in an increase in the liability of $179. The derivative liabilities were adjusted to fair value as of December 31, 2010, resulting in a decrease in the liability and other expense of $3,136 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The ending derivative liability balance at December 31, 2010 was $499.
The Company uses a discounted Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of its preferred share and warrant liabilities. Key assumptions used to apply these models are as follows:
| | | December 31, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
| Expected term | | 0.5 to 4.00 years | | | 0.5 to 3.00 years | |
| Volatility | | 141.5% - 184.1% | | | 139.0% - 156.0% | |
| Risk-free interest rate | | 0.29 – 1.02% | | | 1.70% | |
| Dividend yield | | 0% | | | 0% | |
Fair value measurements:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2010, are as follows:
| | | Value at December 31, 2010 | | | Quoted prices in active markets | | | Significant other observable inputs | | | Significant unobservable inputs | |
| | | | | | (Level 1) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 3) | |
| Derivative liability | | $ | 499 | | | $ | − | | | $ | − | | | $ | 499 | |

4. Derivative liability (continued):
The fair value framework requires a categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
| Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. |
| Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. |
There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents (level 1) and the above mentioned derivative liability as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Changes in the fair value of the level 3 derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2010, are as follows:
| | | Derivative Liability | |
| Balance at January 1, 2010 | | $ | 422 | |
| Additional liabilities recorded related to warrants issued for services | | | 153 | |
| Additional liabilities recorded related to warrants issued for interest paid in kind and bridge financing | | | 851 | |
| Additional liabilities recorded related to the conversion feature on Series B preferred shares and dividends paid in kind | | | 2,030 | |
| Additional liabilities recorded related to the conversion feature on Series C preferred shares | | | 179 | |
| Gain on derivative liability | | | (3,136 | ) |
| Balance at December 31, 2010 | | $ | 499 | |
5. Stockholders' equity:
Common stock options:
TheAt December 31, 2010, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, (the "1999 Option"2009 Stock Compensation Plan") and may also grants options to employees, directors and consultants outside of the 1999 Option2009 Stock Compensation Plan under Individual Plans.individual plans.

In April 1999, the Company adopted and in June 1999, the shareholders approved the 1999 Option Plan. Incentive and non-qualified options under the 1999 Option Plan may bewere granted to employees, officers, and consultants of the Company. The 1999 Option Plan expired in April 2009 (options outstanding under that plan are not effected by its expiration). There arewere 4,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Option Plan. The options havehad a seven year lifeterm and generally vestvested quarterly over three years.

As of December 31, 2008, 3,5442010, 2,153 plan options were outstanding and 3,2632,153 plan options were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.57$0.61 per share.
The Company has issued options under Individual Plansindividual plans to its employees and directors. The Individual Planindividual plan options generally vest over four years or pro rata quarterly over three years. Non-plan options are generally exercisable over a period not to exceed seven years.

Share-based payment:
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). SFAS No. 123(R)ASC 718 requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instrument in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company also applies the guidance from Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) in its application of SFAS 123(R).
Share-based compensation expense is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. SFAS No. 123(R)ASC 718 requires forfeitures of share-based payment awards to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rates for the year ended December 31, 2008,2010, was approximately 23.4224%.
SFAS No. 123(R)ASC 718 requires the cash flows from tax benefits for deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized for share-based payment awards to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s loss position, there were no such tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2008.2010.
Valuation and Expense Information under SFAS No. 123(R):ASC 718:
The weighted-average fair value of stock-based compensation is based on the single option valuation approach. Forfeitures are estimated and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is amortized using the accrual method over the vesting period of the options. The fair value calculations are based on the following assumptions:
| | | Year Ended December 31, 20082010 | Year Ended December 31, 20072009 |
