As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 43,173,592 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, the Company’s only class of voting securities. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to cast one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting.
 
Voting Procedures; Quorum
 
At the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present, the approval of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the APA requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company common stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date.
 
The nominees for election as directors receiving the greatest number of votes cast, whether in person or represented by proxy, up to the number of directors to be elected, which will be three, will be elected as directors of the Company.
 
The approval of the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to change the Company’s name requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock as of the Record Date.
 
The approval of necessary adjournments requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

All other matters to come before the Annual Meeting will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter presented in person or by proxy, provided a quorum is present. A quorum is present if at least a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. It is currently anticipated that votes will be counted and certified by an Inspector of Election (the “Inspector”) who is expected to be either an employee of the Company or its transfer agent. In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
 
The Inspector will treat shares that are voted WITHHELD or ABSTAIN as being present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be treated as votes in favor of approving any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted:
 
·FOR the approval of the Asset Sale;
 
·FOR the election of each of the nominees for directors of the Company specified herein;
 
·FOR an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from InkSure Technologies Inc. to New York Global Innovations Inc.;
 
·FOR the approval of one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of Proposal 1; and
 
·upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof in the discretion of the proxies, but will not be voted other than as provided for the matters set forth above.
 
Proposal 1. Asset Sale:
 
The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has interests in the Asset Sale that are different from the other holders of the share of the Company’s common stock. See the section captioned “Interest of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale”. A properly executed ballot marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will not be counted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the subject matter as to which the non-vote is indicated. Broker non-votes also have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.
 
 
2

 
Proposal 2. Appointment of Directors: Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the subject matter as to which the non-vote is indicated. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on the election of directors, nor are there any abstentions in the election of directors; rather stockholders may vote “for” each nominee or withhold such vote.
 
Proposal 3. Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name: A properly executed ballot marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will not be counted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.  Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Brokers have discretion to vote on behalf of beneficial owners with respect to this proposal; as a result, there will be no “broker non-votes” on this item.
 
Proposal 4. Approval of Possible Adjournments of the Annual Meeting: A properly executed ballot marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will not be counted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Since abstentions are not considered votes cast, they will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Brokers have discretion to vote on behalf of beneficial owners with respect to this proposal; as a result, there will be no “broker non-votes” on this item.
 
Other than the relationship of Proposal 4 to Proposal 1 as described herein, none of the proposals is conditioned on the outcome of any other proposal.
 
Revocability of Proxies
 
The enclosed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. Unless otherwise stated, all shares represented by such proxy will be voted as instructed. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Any stockholder who has executed a proxy but is present at the Annual Meeting, and who wishes to vote in person, may do so by revoking his or her proxy as described in the preceding sentence. Shares represented by valid proxies in the form enclosed, received in time for use at the Annual Meeting and not revoked at or prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted at the Annual Meeting.
 
The entire cost of soliciting proxies, including the costs of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional soliciting material furnished to stockholders, will be borne by the Company. Arrangements will be made with brokerage houses, banks and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of stock, and the Company expects to reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by directors, officers or employees of the Company in person or by telephone, telegram or other means. No additional compensation will be paid to such individuals for these services.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
 
The Company will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from its stockholders. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, the Company will request that banks, brokers, and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of the Company common stock and secure their voting instructions. The Company will reimburse the record holders for their reasonable expenses in taking those actions. If necessary, the Company may use several of its regular employees, who will not be specially compensated, to solicit proxies from the Company stockholders, either personally or by telephone, facsimile, letter or other electronic means.

Voting
 
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share held on the close of business on the Record Date, on each matter properly submitted for the vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The right to vote is exercisable, in person or by properly executed proxy as described further below.
 
If you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy using the proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company urges you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy. To vote in person, you may come to the Annual Meeting and the Company will give you a ballot when you arrive. To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card (which is enclosed if you received this proxy statement by mail or that you may request or that the Company may elect to deliver at a later time), and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to the Company before the Annual Meeting, the Company will vote your shares as you direct.
 
For Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank
 
Most beneficial owners whose stock is held in street name receive instructions for granting proxies from their banks, brokers or other agents, rather than the Company’s proxy card. If your shares are held in an account with a broker or bank please follow the instructions provided by such broker or bank.
 
MATTERS BEING SUBMITTED TO A VOTE OF INKSURE STOCKHOLDERS

Proposal 1: Asset Sale
 
At this year’s Annual Meeting, Company stockholders will be asked to approve the Asset Sale.
 
The terms of, reasons for and other aspects of the Asset Sale are described in detail in the other sections in this proxy statement.
 
You should note that while the Company is seeking approval of the Asset Sale as a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, if stockholders do not approve the Asset Sale, or if the Asset Sale does not otherwise close, it is likely that the Company will file for, or will be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection.

Certain directors and executive officers of the Company entered into voting agreements with Spectra contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the APA. Pursuant to the agreements, each such director or executive officer agreed to vote all shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by him as of the Record Date in favor of the approval of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements and against any actions that would interfere with such transactions. As of the Record Date, these individuals collectively beneficially owned 18,697,548 shares of Company common stock, which represented approximately 43.3% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock as of the Record Date. The form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B, and you are urged to read it in its entirety.
 
In addition, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has interests in the Asset Sale that are different from the other holders of the share of the Company’s common stock. See the section captioned “Interest of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale”.
 
THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 1 TO APPROVE THE ASSET SALE.
 
Proposal 2: Appointment of Directors
 
At this year’s Annual Meeting, four nominees will be elected as directors, which number will constitute the entire Board of Directors. Each director will be elected to a one-year term and will hold office until the 2014 Annual Meeting and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board of Directors currently consists of three members, each of whom are standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees to the Board of Directors has been recommended by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has nominated Gadi Peleg, Alon Raich, David W. Sass and Roberto Alonso Jimenez Arias as directors.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES SPECIFIED HEREIN.
 
Proposal 3:  Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name
 
At this year’s Annual Meeting, Company stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from InkSure Technologies Inc. to New York Global Innovations Inc.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME.
 
Proposal 4: Approval of Possible Adjournments of the Annual Meeting
 
If the Company fails to receive a sufficient number of votes to approve Proposal 1 at the Annual Meeting, the Company may propose to adjourn the Annual Meeting on one or more occasions, each for a period of not more than 30 days, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposal 1. The Company currently does not intend to propose adjournment at the Annual Meeting if there are sufficient votes to approve Proposal 1.

You should note that in the absence of a quorum of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, the bylaws of the Company, as amended (the “Bylaws”) provide that the chairperson of the meeting may adjourn the meeting. The presentation of this Proposal 4 to the stockholders of the Company is not intended to, and does not, prevent the chairperson of the meeting from adjourning the Annual Meeting in the manner set forth in the Company’s Bylaws under such circumstances. In addition, this Proposal 4 does not prevent the meeting from otherwise being adjourned or postponed in accordance with the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company.
 
THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 4 TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 1.

The Companies

InkSure Technologies Inc. (“InkSure”)
18 East 16th Street, Suite 307
New York, NY 10003
USA (646) 233-1454

InkSure, originally incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1997, but reincorporated in Delaware in 2003, develops, markets and sells customized authentication solutions designed to enhance the security of documents and branded products, to meet the growing demand for protection from counterfeiting. In this context, “counterfeit items” are imitation items that are offered as genuine with the intent to deceive or defraud. The Company operates within the “authentication industry,” an industry that includes a variety of companies providing technologies and services designed to prevent the counterfeiting and diversion of documents and products.

InkSure’s existing products are based on three principal technologies:

 ·Unique chemical markers incorporated into security holograms.
 
 ·
Customizable security inks that are suitable for almost every type of digital and impact printing on a wide variety of surfaces or substrates (e.g., paper documents, plastic identification cards, packaging materials and labels). Some chemical markers can also be incorporated into volume liquids such as fuel.
 
 ·Sophisticated “full-spectrum” readers that use proprietary software to quickly analyze marks inserted into the hologram or printed with our specialty inks.
 
InkSure’s security solutions are considered to be covert because its specialty inks are indistinguishable from standard non-security inks and are easily incorporated into variable and fully individualized data on holograms, documents, products, product labels, packaging and designs.  InkSure’s machine-readable taggant-based products provide a customized solution to counterfeiting by creating a unique chemical code for each product line or document batch that can only be authenticated by its readers.

Asset Sale under the Asset Purchase Agreement (page 16 and Appendix A)

On October 1, 2013, we, with our subsidiaries InkSure Inc. and InkSure Ltd., entered into an asset purchase agreement with Spectra, pursuant to which we have agreed, subject to specified terms and conditions, including approval of the Asset Sale by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, to sell to Spectra substantially all of our right, title, and interest in substantially all of our assets.  In exchange we will receive on the closing date of the Asset Sale (the “Closing”) $840,684 in cash, plus Spectra’s and our good faith estimate of the inventory value at the closing date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all pre-closing accounts receivable collected after the Closing, and we may receive additional contingent consideration upon the achievement of development and commercialization conditions related to orders from certain specified clients, as further described below and in the attached APA.  In addition, Spectra will, at the Closing, deposit an additional $200,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to secure our obligations to pay Spectra any indemnification claims for a period of up to one year after the date of the Closing.

On January 9, 2014, we and Spectra entered into an amendment to the APA to extend its termination date from January 31, 2014 to February 28, 2014.
Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders.

A copy of the APA, as amended, is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. The description of the APA herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the APA. We encourage you to read the APA in its entirety.

InkSure’s Reasons for the Asset Sale (page 18)19)

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the terms of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and creditors, and has approved the Asset Sale and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements.

Both positive and negative factors, together with the background of the transaction set forth below, comprise the Board of Directors’ material considerations in entering into the APA.  For a description of the factors that the Board of Directors considered in entering into the APA, please see the discussion below under the heading “The Sale of Assets by the Company.”

Use of Proceeds (page 22)

The Company, and not the Company’s stockholders, will receive all of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale. Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders.

Although the Board of Directors and management have had preliminary discussions regarding potential uses of our capital following the Asset Sale, the Board of Directors intends to continue to review anticipated liabilities and potential strategic uses of capital in connection with the continuation of the Company as a going concern. Accordingly, we cannot specify with certainty the amount of net proceeds, if any, we will use for any particular use or the timing in respect thereof. Consequently, you should not vote in favor of the Asset Sale based upon any assumptions regarding the amount or timing of any potential usages of capital or distributions to stockholders.

Recommendations to the Company’s Stockholders (page 4)

At this year’s Annual Meeting, four nominees will be elected as directors, which number will constitute the entire Board of Directors, each for a one-year term and will hold office until the 2014 Annual Meeting and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board of Directors currently consists of three members, each of whom are standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting,  Each nominee has been recommended by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has nominated Gadi Peleg, Alon Raich, David W. Sass and Roberto Alonso Jimenez Arias as directors.  The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote for the election of each of the nominees specified below.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the Asset Sale is advisable in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders and creditors.  The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the Asset Sale, and recommends that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements, and in favor of any necessary adjournments. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has interests in the Asset Sale that are different from the other holders of the share of the Company’s common stock. See the section captioned “Interest of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale”.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale (page 35)36)
 
Prior to Closing, Spectra and Tal Gilat (the “Consultant”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, shall have entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) which provides that the Consultant will provide Spectra with consulting services to ensure: (1) the orderly transfer of the acquired business (and its customers) to Spectra, and (2) the ongoing growth and success of the acquired business.  In return, the Consultant (or his designee) will be compensated $5,000 per month for the duration of the Consulting Agreement, which has a term of two months, and he will receive $60,000 at closing in consideration of his non-compete agreements in the Consulting Agreement.
 
Spectra may terminate the Consulting Agreement early for cause with written notice in the event of certain specified occurrences as more fully described below.

The Consulting Agreement is described further below under the heading “Certain Ancillary Agreements”.  The form of Consulting Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex D, and you are urged to read and review it in its entirety.
 
Without prior written consent of Spectra, the Company has agreed that it will not, except for increasing the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer’s salary, increase the compensation payable to any officer, director or employee or agent of the Company, or enter into any agreement with respect to the employment of any employee which is not terminable at will, through and including the Closing.
 
In addition, if the Asset Sale is completed, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer will receive 5% of the net proceeds of the net consideration received by the Company, or approximately $75,000, on the same basis that the consideration is received, pursuant to his 2012 compensation package approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.
 
Risk Factors (page 36)
 
In evaluating the Asset Sale, in addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement, you should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the Asset Sale and our Company discussed herein.
 
Voting Agreements (page 33)
 
Certain directors and executive officers of the Company entered into voting agreements with Spectra contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the APA. Pursuant to the agreements, each such director or executive officer agreed to vote all shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by him as of the Record Date in favor of the approval of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements and against any actions that would interfere with such transactions. As of the Record Date, these individuals collectively beneficially owned 18,697,548 shares of Company common stock, which represented approximately 43.3% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock as of the Record Date.

The following information is with respect to the Asset Sale:
 
FORWARD-LOOKINGFORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
This proxy statement contains statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements." Generally, forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will," the negative of such terms, and words and phrases of similar import. For example, our statements about possible bankruptcy, our reasons for the Asset Sale, our expected completion of the Asset Sale and our use of the proceeds thereof, all involve forward-looking statements.  Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the difficulty inherent in operating in a rapidly evolving market, market and economic conditions, the impact of competitive products, product demand and market acceptance risks, changes in product mix, our ability to improve our margins, costs and availability of raw materials, fluctuations in operating results, delays in development of highly complex products, risks from uncertainties regarding litigation or mediation, our ability to continue as a going concern, risk of customer contract or sales order cancellations or reductions in volume, failure to meet the conditions necessary to complete the Asset Sale, risks inherent with each of the possible strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale and possibly needing to seek bankruptcy protection if the Asset Sale is not completed or approved by our stockholders, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These risks and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement represents our expectations or forecasts only as of the date it was made and should not be relied upon as representing its expectations or forecasts as of any subsequent date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if our expectations or forecasts change.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, related notes and other information included in this proxy statement and with the Risk Factors included under Proposal 1 of this proxy statement and in our Annual Report.
 
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ASSET SALE
 
Q: WHY IS INKSURE PROPOSING TO ENTER INTO THE ASSET SALE?
 
A: After due consideration of all other alternatives reasonably available to the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the completion of the Asset Sale was the only alternative with the potential to enable the Company to satisfy its outstanding obligations and possibly make distributions to its stockholders. Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders.
 
Q: WHAT WILL INKSURE RECEIVE FOR THE ASSETS BEING SOLD IN THE ASSET SALE?
 
A: Pursuant to the APA, at the Closing, Spectra will pay to the Company $840,684 plus Spectra’s and the Seller’s joint good faith estimate of the closing date inventory value on the closing date. In addition, Spectra has agreed to make contingent payments of up to an additional $185,000, in the event specified milestones are achieved, with such contingent payments being subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, plus an amount equal to 50% of all collections of Seller’s accounts receivable received by Spectra after the Closing, all as more fully described herein. In addition, Spectra will, at the Closing, deposit an additional $200,000 with the Escrow Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to secure our obligations to pay Spectra any indemnification claims for a period of up to one year after the date of the Closing.
 
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ASSET SALE IS NOT COMPLETED?
 
A: If the Asset Sale is not completed, it is likely that the Company will file for, or will be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection. In such event, it is extremely unlikely that the Company will be able to satisfy all of its liabilities and obligations, and there would therefore be no assets available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders.
 
Q: WILL ANY DISTRIBUTIONS BE MADE TO INKSURE’S STOCKHOLDERS?
 
A: Although the Board of Directors and management have had preliminary discussions regarding potential uses of our capital following the Asset Sale, the Board of Directors intends to continue to review anticipated liabilities and potential strategic uses of capital in connection with the continuation of the Company as a going concern. Accordingly, we cannot specify with certainty the amount of net proceeds, if any, we will use for any particular use or the timing in respect thereof. Consequently, you should not vote in favor of the Asset Sale based upon any assumptions regarding the amount or timing of any potential usages of capital or distributions to stockholders.
 
 
14

 
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF INKSURE’S STOCKHOLDERS DO NOT APPROVE THE ASSET SALE?
 
A: If the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Asset Sale, it is likely that the Company will file for, or will be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection. If the Asset Sale does not close for any reason, the Company will likely be unable to pay, or provide for the payment of, its liabilities and obligations, and there would therefore be no assets available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders.
 
Q: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?
 
A: You should read this proxy statement carefully in its entirety, including its annexes, to consider how the matters discussed will affect you. You should mail your signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting.
 
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT RETURN A PROXY CARD?
 
A: The failure to return your proxy card, coupled with a failure to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, will have the same effect as voting AGAINST the approval of the Asset Sale and AGAINST amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name. It will have no impact on the election of directors or on the vote on adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if such vote occurs.
 
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I RETURN A SIGNED PROXY CARD BUT DO NOT INDICATE HOW TO VOTE MY PROXY?
 
A: If you do not include instructions on how to vote your properly signed and dated proxy card,  your shares will be voted FOR approval of the Asset Sale, FOR the election of each of the nominees specified herein, FOR amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name and FOR any adjournments.
 
Q: MAY I VOTE IN PERSON?
 
A: Yes. Rather than signing and returning your proxy card, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person.
 
Q: MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE MAILED MY SIGNED PROXY CARD?
 
A: Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy card vote is voted at the Annual Meeting.  You can do this in one of three ways:
 
·First, you can send a written, dated notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy.
 
·Second, you can complete, date and submit a new proxy card.
 
 
15

 
·Third, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.
 
Your attendance alone will not revoke your proxy.  If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your broker to change those instructions.
 
Q: IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME” BY MY BROKER, WILL MY BROKER VOTE MY SHARES FOR ME?
 
A: Your broker will not be able to vote your shares without instructions from you.  You should instruct your broker to vote your shares by following the procedure provided by your broker.
 
Q: AM I ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS?
 
A: No.  The Company’s stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Asset Sale.
 
Q: WHO CAN HELP ANSWER MY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
 
A: Company stockholders who would like additional copies of this proxy statement or have additional questions about the transaction, including the procedures for voting the Company’s shares, should contact:

THE SALE OF ASSETS BY THE COMPANY
 
This section of the proxy statement describes material aspects of the proposed sale of substantially all of the assets by the Company, through the Asset Sale, and certain related transactions. While the Company believes that the description covers the material terms of the Asset Sale, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement and the other documents referred to in this proxy statement for a more complete understanding of the Asset Sale and related transactions of the Company.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors is recommending that the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, through the Asset Sale, be approved by its stockholders at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the APA, as amended, setting forth the terms and conditions of the Asset Sale, is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has interests in the Asset Sale that are different from the other holders of the share of the Company’s common stock. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Interest of Certain Persons in the Transaction”.

On September 25, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the execution of the APA with Spectra, which was entered into as of October 1, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, Spectra will acquire at the Closing substantially all of the assets of the Company, with certain exclusions described below.
 
In consideration for the acquisition of assets pursuant to the APA, Spectra will pay the Seller $840,684, plus Spectra’s and the Seller’s joint good faith estimate of the closing date inventory value on the closing date.  Spectra will also pay the Seller the following post-Closing conditional payments:
 
·$35,000 if and when orders placed by Holostik with Spectra return to an average monthly level of $16,666.67 during any continuous period of six months after the Closing;
 
·$150,000 if and when (1) the Seller enters into the K-fee Agreement and Spectra is properly assigned the Seller’s rights and assumes the Seller’s obligations under the K-fee Agreement, or (2) Spectra enters into a K-fee Agreement directly with any of the aforementioned counterparties at any time prior to December 31, 2013; and/or,
 
·an amount equal to 50% of all collections of the accounts receivable received by Spectra after the Closing.
 
Additionally, Spectra will deposit with the Escrow Agent an additional $200,000 upon Closing, to be disposed of by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions the Escrow Agreement in the form attached as Annex C to this proxy statement.  Subject to any successful claims asserted by Spectra under the APA, the amount held under the Escrow Agreement will be paid to the Seller one year after the Closing.

There is no assurance that the Asset Sale will be completed. Certain material terms of the APA and features of the Asset Sale are summarized below.  Stockholders should read the APA and the Escrow Agreement in their entirety.
 
Background of the Company
 
InkSure, originally incorporated in the state of Nevada in 1997, but reincorporated in Delaware in 2003, currently develops, markets and sells customized authentication solutions designed to enhance the security of documents and branded products, to meet the growing demand for protection from counterfeiting. In this context, “counterfeit items” are imitation items that are offered as genuine with the intent to deceive or defraud. It operates within the “authentication industry,” an industry that includes a variety of companies providing technologies and services designed to prevent the counterfeiting and diversion of documents and products.

InkSure’s existing products are based on three principal technologies:

 ·Unique chemical markers incorporated into security holograms.
 

 
17

 

 
 ·
Customizable security inks that are suitable for almost every type of digital and impact printing on a wide variety of surfaces or substrates (e.g., paper documents, plastic identification cards, packaging materials and labels). Some chemical markers can also be incorporated into volume liquids such as fuel.
 
 ·Sophisticated “full-spectrum” readers that use proprietary software to quickly analyze marks inserted into the hologram or printed with our specialty inks.
 
The Company’s security solutions are considered to be covert because its specialty inks are indistinguishable from standard non-security inks and are easily incorporated into variable and fully individualized data on holograms, documents, products, product labels, packaging, and designs.  InkSure’s uniquely formulated machine-readable taggant-based products provide a customized solution to counterfeiting by creating a unique chemical code for each product line or document batch that can only be authenticated by our readers. If the Asset Sale closes, InkSure would cease to operate in this line of business.

Background of the Transaction
 
On October 4, 2011, Mr. Tal Gilat, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, received an unsolicited inquiry from Spectra’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Nabil Lawandy, regarding either a potential partnership with the Company or a potential interest in acquiring a portion of the Company’s assets. Mr. Gilat replied on the following day that he would be willing to have a conference call with Mr. Lawandy to discuss his inquiry further.

On October 24, 2011, Mr. Gilat and Mr. Lawandy had a conference call to discuss a potential arrangement, from which it was clear that both companies develop similar technologies – i.e., taggant and taggant readers – but operate in different markets. Spectra is focused on the currency anti-counterfeiting market while InkSure is more focused on the tax stamps anti-counterfeiting and brand protection markets. After the call, Mr. Gilat introduced Mr. Gadi Peleg, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, to Mr. Lawandy and suggested that the parties meet in New York City. The companies signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement on October 25, 2011 (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”).

The meeting between Mr. Peleg and Mr. Lawandy took place in New York City on December 6, 2011. During the meeting, it became clear that Spectra had both the cash on hand and strong interest in acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s anti-counterfeiting assets and wanted to methodically evaluate this opportunity.  Following the meeting, Mr. Lawandy asked Mr. Peleg to have Mr. Dadi Avner, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, contact Mr. Doug Anderson, Spectra’s Chief Financial Officer, to elaborate on the Company’s public financial statements and business.

On December 23, 2011, both companies held a conference call headed by Messrs. Gilat and Avner from the Company and Messrs. Lawandy and Anderson from Spectra. The Company's business and financial situation were discussed in detail. Following the call, Mr. Lawandy informed the Company that he was prepared to discuss the terms of a potential transaction, which, if accepted, would be followed by a full due diligence review and consideration by Spectra’s board of directors.

 
18

 
Over the next few months, both companies negotiated in good faith to agree on mutually satisfactory terms. On April 23, 2012, Mr. Lawandy informed Mr. Peleg that Spectra was no longer interested in moving forward with evaluating this opportunity, primarily because negotiations with the Company were taking longer than expected due to an inability to mutually agree to  terms relating to material adverse change clauses in the acquisition agreement.

Company management contacted two other potential acquirers. The Company negotiated with these two companies but was unable to reach an agreement on business terms. The Company contacted the first potential acquirer at the end of 2012 and the second company at the beginning of 2013.

The Company and Spectra did not have any other discussions until May 16, 2013. On that day, Mr. Peleg received an email from Mr. Lawandy expressing an interest in revisiting a potential transaction.

On May 30, 2013, both companies held a conference call headed by Messrs. Gilat and Peleg from the Company and Messrs. Lawandy and Anderson from Spectra. Both parties expressed a common interest in moving forward on the call. On June 9, 2013, the companies signed amendments to the Non-Disclosure Agreement in order to allow for the disclosure of customers and potential projects details, as well as the beginnings of the due diligence process.

Mr. Gilat visited Spectra’s U.S. offices on July 8 – 9, 2013. The purpose of this visit was to discuss, in detail, all aspects of the Company’s business and technology. Following the visit, the two companies conducted a detailed due diligence process.

Mr. Lawandy forwarded a draft of the APA to the Company on July 12, 2013. The companies negotiated the terms of the APA until it was signed on October 1, 2013. Both companies issued press releases announcing entry into the APA on October 2, 2013.

On January 9, 2014, both companies signed an amendment to the APA, extending its termination date from January 31, 2014 to February 28, 2014.
Reasons for the Sale of Assets of InkSure
 
The following discussion of the reasons for the Asset Sale contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events that may have an effect on its financial performance.  There can be no assurance that the benefits of the transaction considered by the Board of Directors will be achieved through completion of the Asset Sale.  See “Risk Factors.”  Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Cautionary statements that identify important factors that could cause or contribute to differences in results and outcomes include those discussed in “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors.”

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the terms of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and creditors, and has approved the Asset Sale and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements.

 
19

 

In reaching its determination, the Company’s Board of Directors considered a number of positive factors, including the following:

·the conclusion of the Board of Directors that the Company would not be able to continue to operate effectively in light of the significant losses that it was incurring to date and expected to continue to incur under its present business model pursuing its existing business endeavors, nor would it be able to raise the capital necessary in a timely manner to permit it to pursue development of its business endeavors in light of the Company’s increasingly precarious cash flow position;
 
·the terms and conditions of the APA and the financial ability of Spectra to pay the cash consideration payable at Closing, and, if applicable, the contingent payments following the closing of the Asset Sale, which led the Company’s directors to conclude that it was reasonably likely that the Asset Sale would be completed and that as a result entering into the APA would improve the ability of the Company to pay, or provide for the payment of, the liabilities owed to its creditors to a greater extent and explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained; it is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders;
 
·the results of efforts made by Company management to solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential investment in the Company, which did not result in sufficient indications of interest in making such an investment in the Company;
 
·the results of efforts made by Company management to solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a strategic partnership or a potential purchase of the Company or some or all of its assets, which resulted in the best cash offer from Spectra; and
 
·plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors also considered a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the Asset Sale. The potentially negative factors considered by the Board of Directors included:

·the risk that the Asset Sale might not be completed in a timely manner or at all, including as a result of any of the closing conditions, which involve significant actions by third parties (such as Israel’s Office of the Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Industry and Trade (“OCS”)) that to a certain extent are outside of the Company’s control, not being met;
 
 
20

 
·the potential U.S. tax implications of the Asset Sale, including a potential tax liability of up to $25,000 depending on Spectra’s appraisal of the assets to be acquired;
 
·the potential negative impact of any vendor or creditor confusion after announcement of the proposed Asset Sale;
 
·the potential negative reaction of the financial community after announcement of the proposed Asset Sale;
 
·the interests of Tal Gilat, our President and Chief Executive Officer, in the completion of the Asset Sale described below under “Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale”; and
 
·the other risks and uncertainties discussed above under “Risk Factors.”
 
The foregoing positive and negative factors together with the background of the transaction set forth above comprise the Board of Directors’ material considerations in entering into the APA.

The Company’s Board of Directors did not retain a transaction adviser to assist in the exploration of various strategic alternatives, including a sale of the Company or some or all of its assets, and it did not ask a transaction adviser to deliver a “fairness opinion” confirming that the consideration to be paid by Spectra is fair from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders.  Company management contacted three potential acquirers. The Company negotiated with these three companies but was able to reach an agreement on the business terms only with Spectra, which also provided the highest offer. The Board of Directors, including all three independent directors on the Board of Directors, concluded that they had thoroughly examined the Company’s alternatives, and had determined that the only alternative reasonably likely to enable the Company to satisfy its obligations was the Asset Sale transaction with Spectra.  The Board of Directors reached such a conclusion independently and determined that, under the circumstances, the Asset Sale was in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.  The Company’s Board of Directors also determined that the costs of obtaining a “fairness opinion,” from a transaction adviser or any other third party, would be disproportionately higher than any corresponding benefit that would be realized by obtaining such an opinion.

Spectra mandated that the transaction be structured as a sale of assets, rather than other structures such as a merger and was not amenable to alternative structures.  Based on Spectra’s position and the factors listed above, the Board of Directors determined that a sale of assets would likely return the greatest value to the Company’s stockholders as no other alternatives had the same likelihood of achieving success in meeting InkSure’s goals, including avoiding bankruptcy.  There can be no assurance that the net proceeds from the Asset Sale and the liquidation value per share of common stock in the hands of Company stockholders will equal or exceed the price or prices at which the common stock has recently traded or may trade in the future, or that the liquidation value will exceed zero. However, the Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and creditors that the Company pay or make adequate provision for its liabilities and obligations and take actions to potentially enable distribution to the stockholders any remaining proceeds from the sale of the Company’s assets. If the Asset Sale is not completed, the Board of Directors will explore what, if any, alternatives are available for the future of the Company. The Board of Directors does not believe, however, that there are viable alternatives to the Asset Sale, and even if there were, that any of its employees would continue to be available to execute them.

 
21

 

The foregoing discussion of these factors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors did not quantify or attach any particular weight to the various factors that they considered in reaching their determination that the terms of the Asset Sale are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and creditors. Rather, the Board of Directors viewed its recommendation as being based upon its business judgment in light of the Company’s financial position and the totality of the information presented and considered, and the overall effect of the Asset Sale on the creditors and stockholders of the Company compared to continuing the business of the Company or seeking other potential parties to effect an investment in or other business combination or acquisition transaction with the Company.

Regulatory Matters

Other than consent from the OCS to the assignment of ScanSure products and services to Spectra, the Company is not aware of any regulatory or governmental approvals required to complete the Asset Sale.

Use of Proceeds

The Company, and not the Company’s stockholders, will receive all of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale. Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders.

Although the Board of Directors and management have had preliminary discussions regarding potential uses of our capital following the Asset Sale, the Board of Directors intends to continue to review anticipated liabilities and potential strategic uses of capital in connection with the continuation of the Company as a going concern. Accordingly, we cannot specify with certainty the amount of net proceeds, if any, we will use for any particular use or the timing in respect thereof. Consequently, you should not vote in favor of the Asset Sale based upon any assumptions regarding the amount or timing of any potential usages of capital or distributions to stockholders.

Appraisal Rights
 
Under Delaware law, the Company’s stockholders do not have appraisal rights as a result of the Asset Sale.

 
22

 
Votes Required for the Asset Sale

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the Record Date is required to approve the Asset Sale. Pursuant to voting agreements and related irrevocable proxies executed by certain executive officers and directors of the Company and its affiliates, 18,697,548 outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (which excludes shares subject to stock options) beneficially owned by them and their affiliates on the Record Date (representing approximately 43.3% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at that date), will be voted in favor of the approval of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements.

THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE ASSET SALE.

THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE ASSET SALE.
 
CERTAIN ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS

Voting Agreements

Each of ICTS International N.V. and its affiliates owning approximately 22.97% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Seller, and certain specified officers and directors of the Seller owning approximately 20.34% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Seller, entered into voting agreements with Spectra contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the APA.  Pursuant to the agreements, each agreed to vote, and granted Spectra an irrevocable proxy to vote, all shares of the Seller’s capital stock beneficially owned by them as of the date of the voting agreements in favor of the approval of the Asset Sale and against the following actions:
 
·the approval or adoption of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Asset Sale; and

 
33

 
·any of the following:

 oany merger, consolidation, or business combination involving the Seller or any of its subsidiaries other than the Asset Sale;

 oany sale, lease, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Seller or any of its subsidiaries;

 oany reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Seller or any of its subsidiaries; or

 oany other action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to result in a breach of any covenant, representation, or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Seller under the APA or of a stockholder under the voting agreements, or otherwise impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage, or adversely affect the consummation of the Asset Sale.

As of the date of the voting agreements, these individuals collectively beneficially owned 18,697,548 shares of the Seller’s capital stock, which represented approximately 43.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock.  None of those entering into voting agreements with Spectra were paid additional consideration in connection with the voting agreements.
 
The voting agreements only relate to the approval of the Asset Sale and the items related above and will terminate upon the earlier to occur of the termination of the APA and the date upon which the stockholders of InkSure have voted on the Asset Sale.  The form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B, and you are urged to read it in its entirety.
 
Escrow Agreement
Simultaneously with the Closing, the Seller, Spectra and the Escrow Agent will enter into the Escrow Agreement.  Pursuant to the agreement, Spectra will deposit $200,000 with the Escrow Agent, which will be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account and administered and disposed of by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement.
The Escrow Agreement provides that the funds deposited with the Escrow Agent will be held by the Escrow Agent until the first anniversary of the Closing and will secure the Seller’s obligations to pay to Spectra any of Spectra’s indemnification claims, if any.
Spectra may recover its claims for breach of Seller’s representations and warranties made in the APA solely from and to the extent of the escrow funds, except in the instances of Seller’s breach of the following representations or warranties:
·Seller’s organization, qualification and title to its assets;
34

·Seller’s obligations under the APA and related transaction documents;
·Seller’s subsidiaries; and
·Seller’s marketable title to the assets to be acquired by Spectra.
The Escrow Agreement will terminate when the entire escrow amounts have been paid out, distributed, or as otherwise provided in the Escrow Agreement.  If no claims are paid to Spectra, the amounts will be paid, along with the interest, to InkSure after the first anniversary of the Closing.  The form of Escrow Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C, and you are urged to read it in its entirety.
Consulting Agreement
Prior to Closing, Spectra and the Consultant, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer shall have entered into the Consulting Agreement.  The Consulting Agreement provides that the Consultant will provide Spectra with consulting services to ensure: (1) the orderly transfer of the acquired business (and its customers) to Spectra, and (2) the ongoing growth and success of the acquired business.  In return, the Consultant (or his designee) will be compensated $5,000 per month for the duration of the Consulting Agreement, which has a term of two months, and he will receive $60,000 at closing in consideration of his non-compete agreements in the Consulting Agreement.
Spectra may terminate the Consulting Agreement early for cause with written notice in the event of any of the following occurrences on the part of Consultant:

·the willful refusal to comply with the specific reasonable and lawful requests of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Spectra within the scope of Consultant’s duties and not inconsistent with the provisions of the agreement;

·the willful failure or refusal to perform consulting duties in accordance with the agreement;

·the breach by Consultant of the non-competition or other restrictive covenants in the agreement; or

·Consultant’s death or inability because of disability, illness or incapacity to adequately perform his obligations to Spectra.

Spectra may also terminate the Consulting Agreement early, effective 30 days after the date of the agreement, by giving Consultant written or oral advance notice thereof and paying the balance of the consulting fee for the rest of the term.  The form of Consulting Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex D, and you are urged to read it in its entirety.
Accounting Treatment
Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s balance sheet will no longer reflect the assets sold, but will instead reflect the amounts received at Closing, including Spectra’s deposit of $200,000 with the Escrow Agent.  The amounts on escrow are due for the purposes of dissolving claims. If the Company receives notice from Spectra regarding a claim related to the Asset Sale, the company would consider to accrue the amounts in escrow according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts on escrow would be held until October 1, 2014. The difference between the amounts received at closing and the value of the assets sold at Closing would be represented on “operational activities” on our Profit and Loss Statement.
35

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE ASSET SALE

Prior to Closing, Spectra and the Consultant, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer shall have entered into the Consulting Agreement, as described above.
In addition, without prior written consent of Spectra, the Company has agreed that it will not, except for increasing the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer’s salary, increase the compensation payable to any officer, director or employee or agent of the Company, or enter into any agreement with respect to the employment of any employee which is not terminable at will, through and including the Closing.

Further, if the Asset Sale is completed, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer will receive 5% of the net proceeds of the net consideration received by the Company, or approximately $75,000, on the same basis that the consideration is received, pursuant to his 2012 compensation package approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.
RISK FACTORS
When you decide whether to vote for approval of the Asset Sale, you should consider the following factors in conjunction with the other information included in this proxy statement.
Risks Relating to the Asset Sale
Whether or not the Asset Sale is completed, the Company may not be able to pay, or provide for the payment of, all of its liabilities and obligations. If such sale is not completed, it is possible that the Company will file for, or will be forced to resort to, bankruptcy by its creditors and no assets may be available for payment to unsecured creditors or for distribution to Company stockholders.
If the Asset Sale is not completed, the Company believes that it is likely that it will file for, or will be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection. In this event, it is extremely unlikely that the Company would be able to pay, or provide for the payment of, all of its liabilities and obligations because the Company’s obligations could exceed the amount of available cash and other liquid assets of the business, and, therefore, there would be no assets available for distribution to unsecured creditors or to the Company’s stockholders. Even if the parties complete the Asset Sale, the proceeds that may be provided under the APA, together with the Company’s other assets, may not be sufficient to pay, or provide for the payment of, all of the Company’s known and unknown liabilities and obligations. If the proceeds from the Asset Sale together with the Company’s other assets are insufficient to pay or provide for the payment of the Company’s liabilities and other obligations, it is likely that the Company could be required to file for, or be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection. Further, if there are insufficient proceeds from the Asset Sale to pay or otherwise provide for the liabilities and obligations of the Company, there will be no assets available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders.
36

Even if the Company’s stockholders approve the Asset Sale, the Asset Sale may not be completed.
The completion of the Asset Sale is subject to numerous conditions (see section entitled “Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement”), many of which are outside the control of Spectra, the Company and its subsidiaries. Even if stockholders of the Company holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Company stock vote to approve the Asset Sale, there can be no assurance that the Asset Sale will be completed. If it is not completed, the Company would likely not be able to sell the assets that would have been purchased by Spectra to another buyer on terms as favorable as those provided in the APA, or at all, which would mean that it is possible that the Company could be required to file for or be forced to resort to bankruptcy protection.
If the Seller does not receive consent from OCS to assign its ScanSure products and services to Spectra, the Asset Sale may not be completed.
The ScanSure products and services, developed by the Seller with grant funding from the OCS, are assets intended to be acquired by Spectra under the APA.  As a condition to Closing, all ScanSure products must be transferred from the Seller to Spectra without any restrictions or limitations whatsoever.  To effectuate this transfer, Seller must obtain consent from the OCS, and must pay a fee to the OCS.  While the Company believes that the OCS will grant its consent to transfer the ScanSure assets to Seller, there can be no assurances that the OCS will do so, as the actions of the OCS are outside of the control of the Seller and Spectra.
Failure to complete the Asset Sale could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.
If the Asset Sale is not completed, the Company’s stock price may decline due to any or all of the following potential consequences:
·the Seller may not be able to dispose of its assets for values equaling or exceeding those currently estimated; in particular, the assets that are the subject of the Asset Sale will likely be substantially diminished in value;
·the Company may file for, or be forced to resort to, bankruptcy; and
·the Company may have difficulty retaining its remaining personnel.
In addition, if the Asset Sale is not completed, the Company’s stock price may decline to the extent that the current market price of the Company’s common stock reflects a market assumption that such sale will be completed.
37

Following the completion of the Asset Sale, the Company will no longer have access to certain intellectual property assets or the human resources, including the services of certain key employees, necessary to fulfill its obligations under existing agreements with third parties.
Upon the completion of the Asset Sale, the Seller will have sold its rights, title and interest in substantially all of its intellectual property and operating assets, including those related to the development of ScanSure products and services.  Because of this, the Company may no longer be able to comply with its existing contractual obligations or commitments under certain agreements with third parties that are not to be transferred to Spectra in the Asset Sale.  In addition, the three remaining employees of the Company are “at will” and may terminate their employment status with the Company at any time or the Company may elect to terminate such employees (with or without entering into alternative arrangements to retain such individuals’ services) after the closing of the Asset Sale in connection with the Company’s wind-down and settlement activities or other post-closing activities.  (For the avoidance of doubt, this does not include the transitional consulting services provided to Spectra by Tal Gilat under the Consulting Agreement.) The loss of the services of any of the remaining employees of the Company could prevent the Company from effectively continuing its operations and fulfilling its contractual obligations with third parties under existing agreements or distributing APA proceeds to stockholders of the Company to the extent possible after satisfaction of liabilities and obligations to third parties.
The contingent payments under the APA related to certain post-closing conditions may never be met by Spectra. Spectra has no diligence obligations under the APA and, therefore, the determination of whether to pursue further development of the Seller’s existing business relationships is in Spectra’s sole discretion. As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that any contingent amounts will be paid to the Seller.
The terms of the APA provide for the following conditional payments:
·$35,000 if and when orders placed by Holostik, a customer of the Company, with Spectra return to an average monthly level of $16,666.67 during any continuous period of six months after the Closing;
·$150,000 if and when (1) the Seller enters into an IP Purchase and Assignment Agreement and Supply Agreement with K-fee System GmbH, Swisstech 360 GmbH and Eugster/Frismag AG (the “K-fee Agreement”) and Spectra is properly assigned the Seller’s rights and assumes the Seller’s obligations under the K-fee Agreement, or (2) Spectra enters into a K-fee Agreement directly with any of the aforementioned counterparties at any time prior to December 31, 2013; and/or
·an amount equal to 50% of all collections of the accounts receivable received by Spectra after the Closing.
The APA does not impose any diligence requirements or contractual obligations on Spectra to achieve these conditions, and, as a result, the decision of how much effort to direct towards the Seller’s business endeavors, if any, will be determined by Spectra in its sole discretion. If Spectra does not pursue, or does not devote sufficient resources to, development of Seller’s business endeavors, these conditions will not be met and the Seller will not receive any of the contingent payments.

The Company’s stockholders may not receive any of the proceeds of the Asset Sale.
If the Asset Sale is consummated, the cash purchase price will be paid directly to the Company (other than $200,000 will be deposited into escrow with the Escrow Agent at Closing for up to twelve months to cover indemnification claims made by Spectra under the APA during such post-Closing period).  It is probable that none of the net proceeds of the purchase price will be received by the Company’s stockholders, unless the Board of Directors ultimately proposes a distribution to the stockholders.
INFORMATION ABOUT INKSURE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

BUSINESS
General

The Company, originally incorporated in the state of Nevada, but reincorporated in Delaware in 2003 develops, markets and sells customized authentication solutions designed to enhance the security of documents and branded products, to meet the growing demand for protection from counterfeiting. In this context, “counterfeit items” are imitation items that are offered as genuine with the intent to deceive or defraud. We operate within the “authentication industry,” an industry that includes a variety of companies providing technologies and services designed to prevent the counterfeiting and diversion of documents and products.
Our existing products are based on three principal technologies:
·Unique chemical markers incorporated into security holograms.
·Customizable security inks that are suitable for almost every type of digital and impact printing on a wide variety of surfaces or substrates (e.g., paper documents, plastic identification cards, packaging materials and labels). Some chemical markers can also be incorporated into volume liquids such as fuel.
·Sophisticated “full-spectrum” readers that use proprietary software to quickly analyze marks inserted into the hologram or printed with our specialty inks.
Our security solutions are considered to be covert because our specialty inks are indistinguishable from standard non-security inks and are easily incorporated into variable and fully individualized data on holograms, documents, products, product labels, packaging, and designs.
Our uniquely formulated machine-readable taggant-based products provide a customized solution to counterfeiting by creating a unique chemical code for each product line or document batch that can only be authenticated by our readers. We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our existing products and solutions and introduce new commercially viable products and systems within our core business, addressing the demands of the evolving markets for brand, product and document protection. As part of the product development process, we intend to work with current and potential customers and leaders in certain industry segments to identify market needs and define appropriate product specifications.
39


We have sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which has resulted in a significant reduction in our cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, our operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 resulted in a net loss of $1,076 thousands and negative cash flows from operation activities of $1,297 thousands. We believe that we will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. We may experience difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company’s existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we are implementing cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.
In April 2012, the Company’s previous major customer, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a resultthis major customer does not continue to purchase the Company’s products at all. In addition, the Company has experienced a reduction in orders from one other large customer nine months ended September 30, 2013. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our operating expense levels are based on internal forecasts for future demand and not on firm customer orders for products or services. Our results have been affected by fluctuating demand for our products and services from one quarter to the next and by increases in the costs of components acquired from suppliers among other issues.
Market Opportunity
There are a growing number of governments, companies, banks, organizations and other entities that recognize, acknowledge and are able to quantify or estimate the scope of their counterfeiting problem. These institutions are willing to invest in security solutions to combat them and are potential customers for our products and services. We believe that the number of entities willing to invest in security solutions will grow as the magnitude of the counterfeiting problem continues to grow. In addition, there has been an increase in regulatory and legislative efforts to countermand counterfeiting, such as legislation in the United States and the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration guidelines concerning the incorporation of counterfeit-resistant tools into the packaging of U.S. prescription drugs.
40

Once the end-user has decided to implement a security plan and introduce new security features or technology, there are various criteria by which the selected technology will be measured. We believe that our products provide a high level of security and flexibility, while remaining cost-effective.
Traditional Authentication Technologies
Technologies used to authenticate and protect products and documents can be divided into two general categories: overt and covert. Overt technologies are visible to the naked eye and are typically used by the consumer to identify the product or document as genuine. Holograms, intricate graphic design and color changing inks are among the most common overt security features used in both products and documents.
Covert technologies are invisible and, historically, designed to be used by investigators, customs officials and other law enforcement agents to verify authenticity. There are numerous covert technologies currently in use in the market, including specialty substrates (e.g., papers with security fibers or magnetic threads) and in-product marking (e.g., tracers placed in fuels). However, one of the most frequently used features for product and document security is specialty ink for the obvious reason that ink is the main consumable for printing on documents, packaging and labels.
The rapid rise in counterfeiting and diversion, however, has led to the need for increasingly sophisticated security techniques for companies and organizations to mark and protect high-value products and documents. Accordingly, the market for countermeasures to counterfeiting and diversion is characterized by a constant inflow and introduction of new authentication techniques as a result of rapid technological progress. Complex new technologies that are difficult for counterfeiters to circumvent are in demand.
Typically, currency and high value documents incorporate more than one security feature (high denominations of U.S. currency have up to 20 security features). Brand owners are increasingly adopting this same strategy and are using several security features simultaneously to make reproducing the document or packaging increasingly difficult and costly for the counterfeiter. In addition, layered security features provide continued protection for products in the market even if one of the features is compromised.
InkSure’s solutions
We believe that our authentication technology can be distinguished from other authentication solutions, such as visible and invisible ultra-violet marks, fluorescent taggants, watermarks and fibers, optically variable inks, and holograms, currently offered by our competitors because our solutions offer a high level of security and flexibility while remaining cost-effective. Our technology is based upon multi-disciplinary technologies, including chemistry, spectroscopy, printing, electro-optics and software, customized for each customer. The following are key features of our solutions:
HIGH LEVEL OF SECURITY. Every security material offered by us has a unique “signature” that is comprised of a variety of components, including the amounts and the unique properties of the chemicals included in the material, the material type, the material color, the printing method and the substrate. Since the reader utilized by our solution reads a “full-spectrum” rather than sampling a specific point or points in a signature, a counterfeit item would have to replicate an entire unique signature - i.e., every variable upon which the signature depends - rather than merely replicating certain portions of the signature. In addition, because a coded taggant’s unique signature is comprised of various factors, with numerous possible permutations thereof, our taggants are extremely difficult to reverse engineer. We believe that holograms, color changing inks and other more common overt security features are more easily replicated than our products. In addition, to thwart any counterfeiting attempts that successfully replicated a unique signature, we could alter any of the variables that comprise a signature and create an entirely new unique signature without significant expense.
41

FLEXIBILITY. Our solution is highly flexible and is compatible with almost every standard hologram, coating, ink or toner. In addition, we believe that our specialty inks are suitable for printing on any type of surface or substrate for which digital and impact printing is suitable. Our readers are available either as hand-held devices designed for quick and accurate field inspection, or as a technology that can be integrated in existing terminals and readers (e.g., ATMs, magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) readers and access control systems) to allow automated identification and verification in mass quantities. According to the client’s security needs, several different coded inks can be incorporated in a single product or document and the corresponding reader can be programmed to authenticate and verify each of the different codes - and indicate which code was verified.
COST EFFECTIVE. Our technology provides a cost-effective solution to prevent counterfeiting and diversion because of our positive cost-performance ratio. In addition, because our readers are designed to detect even trace amounts of the specific chemical markers, our solutions provide a high level of security, including through the use of chemicals, such as tagging agents, at reasonable incremental costs to our customers.
Marketing and business strategy
 The potential anti-counterfeit market segments for our products can generally be divided into two major groups: documents (e.g., bank notes, checks, transportation and event tickets, pre-paid telephone cards, identification cards, and passports) and brand products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, automotive, tobacco, spirits and apparel). We believe that the most receptive market segment for our authentication applications - which comprise the middle and high-end of the security market - includes customers who have experienced significant problems with counterfeiting and have been unable to reduce or eliminate the effects of counterfeiting through the authentication solutions that are more easily circumvented than our solutions. In addition, we have targeted customers that need a covert security feature that is extremely difficult to reverse engineer.
More specifically, we have identified and targeted the following market segments:
·
TAX STAMPS. Government issued tax stamps and control marks for a variety of taxed items such as tobacco, wine, alcohol and export tax stamps offer opportunities for our authentication technology.
42

·
PACKAGING. We believe our product may facilitate brand protection through use in 1st level (on the product), 2nd level (on the packaging) and 3rd level (through the use of labels, stickers, etc.). We believe our products are suitable for a number of industries, including consumer goods (e.g., apparel, cosmetics, fragrances, tobacco and multi-media, including CDs and DVDs), pharmaceuticals, and industries that rely upon component parts (e.g., automotive, computer hardware).
·
TRANSPORTATION. Both national and local transportation authorities issue travel passes, season tickets and single-use tickets, all of which are subject to counterfeiting.
·
FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS. Historically checks and other financial documents have incorporated security features in the substrate or the pre-printed form, all in an effort to protect the fixed and variable data imprinted on the document. With our technology, both fixed and variable data can now be protected directly.
·
GOVERNMENT IDENTITY DOCUMENTS. We believe that our ability to mark inkjet ink and thermal transfer ribbons and therefore provide authentication capabilities to the variable data on government identity documents such as passports, visas, driver’s licenses, ID cards, birth certificates, and motor vehicle registrations is unique. We view these market segments as requiring a long-term marketing and selling process given the typical government bid process and cycles for initiating new features, as well as government cost constraints.
·
RETAIL VOUCHERS AND GIFT CERTIFICATES. Retail establishments currently use printed vouchers, gift cards and gift certificates for increased sales. Certificates of authenticity, which are printed documents that accompany a wide variety of retail goods ranging from software products to luxury goods are also an area of opportunity.
We have focused the bulk of our efforts to date on market segments where we have already achieved market penetration in actual sales and where we believe sales potential is highest - tax stamps, packaging, financial documents, entertainment (i.e., ticketing) and transportation. As a result of this focused strategy, we have increased awareness of our products in these segments, established a presence in targeted markets throughout the world, and formed strategic alliances with companies that provide access to specific markets.
Sales and marketing
Initially, we relied solely on intermediaries to market and distribute our products and services. However, we currently sell our products and services through a combination of our own sales personnel, strategic alliances and licenses with intermediaries.
Current products
InkSure has created solution packages designed to meet various market needs. These packages rely primarily on our core technology, best described as “line of sight authentication” (i.e., electro-optical detection and analysis of organic and inorganic materials). The micro-processing unit within the readers uses proprietary algorithms to authenticate genuine taggants, as well as differentiate between various taggants.
43

For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 84% of our revenues were earned from sales of our tagsure codes, while the remaining 16% of our revenues were earned from sales of our various readers.
We have designed several generic readers that provide different levels of security for the various target applications. For specific projects, due to the flexibility upon which the technology is built, we customize the generic readers to fit customer needs according to size and speed. Our current line of products, which support our customizable solutions, include the following:
·
TAGSURE ä — MACHINE READABLE AUTHENTICATION CODES FOR ADVANCED SECURITY

Our TagSure (previously known as "SmartInk") codes are secure optical codes used in inks and coatings that provide authentication solutions ranging from a definitive “yes/no” verification to multi-functional systems that allow item identification, “Track & Trace” functionality (which involves a process of determining the current and past locations and other information of the marked item), real-time encoding and debiting applications. TagSure codes are created by mixing special chemical markers (taggants) into commercial inks, coatings and other media, and applying them, using any standard printing process or coating process. The chemical markers used for marking volume liquid are incorporated directly into the liquid via a carrier. All TagSure marker/carrier mixtures are allocated with covert signatures that, while being completely invisible and protected from reverse-engineering attempts, are easily detected by our line of readers.
·
SIGNASURE ä — ADVANCED AUTHENTICATION READER
Our SignaSure reader features advanced technology for fast, on-the-spot authentication of sensitive documents and branded products. The SignaSure readers are equipped with technology to provide users with high security, exceptional functionality and cost effective solutions. The readers utilize proprietary algorithms and unique electro-optical techniques to authenticate covert TagSure codes, which are created by mixing special chemical markers (taggants) into commercial inks, coatings and other media, and applying them, using standard printing processes, onto documents, tickets, product packaging and labels. SignaSure can store up to ten codes in the memory and can be programed to pair specific TagSure makers with identifying names.
·CARSURE ™ — ADVANCED AUTHENTICATION READER
Our CarSure reader is equipped with the capability to read taggants and by extension documents through a car windshield. The CarSure readers provide users with high security, exceptional functionality and cost effective solutions. The readers utilize proprietary algorithms and unique electro-optical techniques to authenticate covert TagSure codes. CarSure is intended for use by government regulators and law enforcement bodies.
44

·
POCKETSURE ä — PEN-SIZED AUTHENTICATION READER
Our PocketSure reader represents an important addition to our highly regarded SignaSure reader line. PocketSure combines handheld, machine-readable detection with forensic-level analysis. At 5.5 inches in length and weighing a mere 2.5 ounces, PocketSure includes single-code memory, audio and visual indicators, and the ability to operate on standard AAA batteries. PocketSure offers a significant benefit for warehouses, return centers, law enforcement agencies and retail organizations seeking to optimize their anti-counterfeiting and “reverse logistics” measures. Its simple-to-read LED, one-button operation, with replaceable batteries also makes it easier to train a larger number of personnel. Our PocketSure and SignaSure can be combined to create multi-level security programs in which a primary level of inspectors employs PocketSure for detection of a base covert code while a secondary level of security specialists employs SignaSure in the field to detect a more complex forensic-level code.
·
MULTISURE ä — PEN-SIZED AUTHENTICATION READER
MultiSure looks and feels very similar to our PocketSure reader but is much more powerful and offers greater functionality. MultiSure can store up to five codes in its memory, has an LED display to let the end-user know which code they are reading and allows end-users the ability to authenticate multiple groups of products with one reader. Our MultiSure can be combined to create multi-level security programs wherein a primary level of inspectors employs MultiSure for detection of a base covert code while a secondary level of security specialists employs SignaSure in the field to obtain a higher level of information.
·FUELSURE ™    —    AUTHENTICATION OF VOLUME LIQUID
FuelSure is a portable reader that provides authentication of fuel and other volume liquids from samples. FuelSure reads chemical markers incorporated directly into fuel and identifies if the liquid is counterfeit or has been tampered with. The readers utilize proprietary algorithms and unique electro-optical techniques to authenticate covert TagSure codes FuelSure can store up to ten codes in the memory.
·SCANSURE ™    —    AUTHENTICATION AND TRACK & TRACE READER
InkSure's most sophisticated reader, ScanSure, is a portable reader which preforms authentication as well as trace & trace functions. The reader incorporates not only InkSure's traditional spectral technology, but also relies on imaging and database technology to authenticate holograms and barcodes marked with TagSure codes. The reader is designed to scan a barcode and identify if the item is counterfeit, diverted, produced in excess of actual orders, or illegitimate. The reader is synchronized with the database of the organization using the reader for authentication.

45

·
SORTSURE ä — IN-LINE VERIFICATION FOR HIGH-SPEED PROCESSING, QUALITY CONTROL AND AUDIT FUNCTIONS
Our SortSure readers provide high-speed authentication and quality control for automated systems handling high volumes of products. The embedded original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) kits enable seamless integration with existing equipment, whether backroom processing units, printing presses or inspection systems in distribution/return centers. One model incorporates a mechanized traversing arm for real-time quality control readings over web-based printing presses.
·
SMARTSURE ä — SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION APPLICATION
SmartSure is a mobile phone application that provides authentication of holograms via commercially available smartphones. Like InkSure's dedicated readers, SmartSure identifies the presence of TagSure codes in a substrate. The electro-optical techniques used by SmartSure are similar but not exactly the same as the ones used by InkSure's dedicated readers. The target audience of SmartSure is wider than for our other products with potential users being inspection teams, as well as employees of brand owners and even end-users, the people who use and consume the items being protected.
·CLOUD-BASED TRACK & TRACE — SAAS TRACK & TRACE SOLUTION
InkSure's track & trace solution tracks the movement of goods throughout the supply chain and will recognize if an item is in the wrong place or if unauthorized items are being sold. In addition, InkSure's track & trace solution will record and collect information on the authenticity of items using our electro-optical techniques. The track & trace solution is designed to be used in conjunction with ScanSure and SmartSure.
 All models utilize proprietary technology and unique electro-optical techniques to measure and/or authenticate covert TagSure codes.

46

Competition
We are aware of other technologies, both covert and overt surface marking techniques, requiring decoding implements or analytical methods to reveal relevant information. These technologies are offered by other companies for the same anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion purposes for which we market our products. Our competitors, many of whom have greater financial resources than us, include:
·Technology providers that typically offer a specific range of security solutions;
·Systems integrators, which have often evolved from other sectors in the printing industry, mainly security print manufacturers, technology providers or packaging and label manufacturers. These companies offer a wide range of security solutions, enabling them to offer a complete suite tailored to the customer’s specific needs; and
·Other producers of covert authentication solutions including other taggant producers and DNA technology companies.
Competition in our markets is based upon price, service, quality, reliability and the ability to offer secure transaction products and services with the flexibility to meet a customer’s particular needs. We believe our technology provides a unique and cost-effective solution that has certain common competitive advantages over other technologies. However, even technologies that are not as secure or reliable as our products are competitive if they are marketed effectively and may also compete on the basis of other criteria, such as price.
Strong competitive pricing pressures exist, particularly with respect to products whose customers seek to obtain volume discounts and economies of scale. In addition, alternative goods or services, such as those involving electronic commerce, could replace printed documents and thereby also adversely affect demand for our products. There has also been a new movement in many industries toward the use of visible two dimensional barcodes for authentication and for electronic pedigree, in anticipation of state and federal electronic pedigree requirements for pharmaceuticals. These will require the ability to trace products through the supply chain. As a result, a larger amount of data has to be encoded into the product. Regarding covert machine-readable authentication, we believe there are competitors who are lower priced, but whose technology is not as robust as ours. In the area of brand protection, we believe that none of these competitors has achieved a significant market position. However, in the area of public/financial documents (including tax stamps and bank notes), one of our competitors has achieved a leading market position due to its long history of sales of security inks for government applications, which has produced a major network of governmental contacts. This competitor also has the advantage of prior success in winning publicly bid tax stamp projects, which it uses for referential value in new projects.
Research and Development
The technology and know-how upon which our products are based are subject to continued development of materials and processes to meet the demands of new applications and increased competition. We conduct most of our research and development activities through our subsidiary, InkSure Ltd. Our research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $408 thousands compared with $444 thousands for the year ended December 31, 2011. Since discontinuing the research and development on our Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, product in November 2010, we have focused all of our research and development on our core business products. Our RFID discontinued operations research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $53 thousands compared with non-expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012.
47

We pursue a process-oriented strategy which includes efforts aimed at developing new or enhanced classes of products and services. As a part of this strategy, we work with potential customers and other members of the industry to identify market needs and define appropriate product specifications.
Raw materials and principal suppliers
The principal raw materials used by us for the manufacturing of our specialty inks include trace amounts of various chemicals and inks suitable for various printing methods. We believe that there are many sources for both these chemicals and the printing inks, which we currently purchase from certain major global suppliers. Some of these chemicals, however, are considered rare, with high prices of $9 thousands per kilogram for certain chemicals. We currently subcontract the manufacturing of our specialty inks to various ink suppliers, who incorporate chemicals provided by us into the inks. To maintain the integrity and security of our specialty inks, we do not disclose the precise chemical ingredients to these ink suppliers.
The principal raw materials used by us for the manufacturing of our readers include electronic components, optic components, plastics and other raw materials. We believe that these materials are in good supply and are available from multiple sources. We currently utilize subcontractors for the manufacturing of our readers.

Major customers and geographic information
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, revenues from customers in Europe and in North America amounted to approximately 8% and 34%, respectively, versus 57% and 24% respectively for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Customers in Asia accounted for approximately 58% of our 2012 revenues versus 19% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Included in such revenues are sales to one customer which represented 1% of our total 2012 revenues versus 50% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
In April 2012, the Company’s previous major customer, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result this major customer does not continue to purchase the Company’s products at all. In addition, the Company has experienced a reduction in orders from one other large customer in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As a result, one of our customers, which accounted for 5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, accounted for 29% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
48

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, revenues attributed to geographic areas based on the location of our customers were:
 REVENUES FOR REVENUES FOR

Patents and proprietary technology
Although our policy is to file patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business, and although we will continue to seek the supplemental protection afforded by patents, we generally consider protection of our products, processes and materials to be more dependent upon proprietary knowledge, know-how and rapid assimilation of innovations than patent protection.
With respect to the RFID technology, which we continued to develop until November 2010, we have filed five patent families related to various aspects of the RFID technology. Five of our patent families have already matured into patents granted in the United States (US 6,819,244; US 6,997,388; US 6,922,146; US 7,969,281; US 8,167,212). Due to the decrease in our operations, the Company will not continue to protect its portfolio of SARCode intellectual property.
Our patent position is uncertain and may involve complex legal and factual issues. Consequently, we do not know whether our pending patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents, or whether the patents, if issued, will provide significant proprietary protection or will not be circumvented or invalidated. Since patent applications are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued, and since publications of discoveries in scientific or patent literature tend to lag behind actual discoveries by several months, we cannot be certain that we were the first creator of inventions covered by pending patent applications or that we were the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Moreover, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other patent offices to determine the priority of inventions, which could result in substantial cost to us. For further information regarding our proprietary technology, please see to the discussion below under the heading “Legal Proceedings”.

We require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of any employment or consulting relationship with us. Each agreement provides that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the relationship will be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by an individual during the employment period will be our exclusive property, other than inventions unrelated to our business and developed entirely on the employee’s own time. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide adequate protection or remedies for misappropriation of our trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information or that an independent third party will not develop functionally equivalent technology.
49

Government regulation
Our scanning devices may be required by customers or any other third parties to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, which may require certification, verification or registration of the equipment with the FCC. Certification and verification of new equipment may require testing to ensure the equipment’s compliance with the FCC’s rules. Further testing or new or enhanced regulation may extend the period of product development and commercialization and increase the associated costs. In addition, the equipment must be labeled according to the FCC’s rules to show compliance with these rules. Electronic equipment permitted or authorized to be used by the FCC through our certification or verification procedures must not cause harmful interference to licensed FCC users, and it is subject to radio frequency interference from licensed FCC users. Our common pocket readers are FCC certified.
Our scanning devices may be required by customers or any other third parties to comply with the regulations of our customer’s respective countries, which may require certification, verification or registration of the equipment with the customer’s respective authorities. Certification and verification of new equipment may require testing to ensure the equipment’s compliance with the local government regulations. Further testing or new or enhanced regulations may extend the period of product development and commercialization and increase the associated costs.
Our specialty inks include various chemicals, some of which may be hazardous substances and subject to various government regulations relating to our transfer, handling, packaging, use, and disposal. To the extent future laws and regulations are adopted or interpretations of existing laws and regulations change, new requirements may be imposed on our future activities or may create liability retroactively.
Climate change
Our business is not materially affected by compliance with existing and pending, local, state, regional, federal or international legal requirements and agreements related to climate change.
Employees
As of December 31, 2012, we had 8 full-time employees, all located in Israel. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.
The employees of our wholly owned subsidiary InkSure Ltd. are entitled to certain benefits as described below under the heading “Compensation of Directors and Executives – Employment Agreements”.

Properties

We maintain our research and development facilities in Rehovot, Israel. The facilities we lease in Israel are approximately 3,800 square feet pursuant to a lease expiring in February 2014. Monthly lease payments for such facility are approximately $6 thousands per month. We believe that the space available in our current facilities is adequate to meet our current needs.
Legal proceedings

On March 30, 2012, the Company received a request for arbitration filed with the London Court of International Arbitration, or the LCIA, by Optaglio s.r.o., a Czech Republic limited liability company, or Optaglio.

In its request for arbitration, Optaglio claimed an alleged breach of the Commercial Cooperation Agreement, or the Agreement, entered between the Company and Optaglio on June 26, 2009.

The Agreement was entered in connection with the Company's experimental RFID technology, which was discontinued (including all related research and development), as of the end of 2010.

In its request for arbitration, Optaglio requested, among other things: (i) that the LCIA declare that the Company breached the Agreement by delivering non-functional SARCode Components to Optaglio, (ii) declare that the Company breached the Agreement by terminating its support for and development of the SARCode Technology prior to the termination of the Agreement, (iii) order the Company to pay to Optaglio the amount of EUR 184 thousands (approximately $238 thousands) as a refund for SARCode components delivered, with interest, (iv) order the Company to pay to Optaglio an amount, to be determined, for alleged losses and damages sustained by Optaglio on account of the alleged breach of the Agreement, (v) order the Company to pay to Optaglio the costs and expenses of the arbitration, and (vi) order such further relief as may be available and appropriate under the circumstances.

On April 29, 2012, the Company filed its response with the LCIA, which response included the Company's answer to Optaglio's claims and counter claims in the total amount of EUR 80 thousands (approximately $104 thousands) plus interest for payments due and owing to the Company under the Agreement.

On November 5, 2012, Optaglio and the Company entered into a commercial settlement under which, inter alia, both parties would release all and any claims that they have or may have in relation to each other, without admitting any liability with respect to any of those claims.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The position of Chairman of the Board of Directors is held by Gadi Peleg, who is not an executive officer. Tal Gilat serves as our principal executive officer of the Company. As our common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of the Board of Directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. Nonetheless, of our three directors currently serving on the Board of Directors, we believe that Gadi Peleg, David W. Sass and Alon Raich are independent directors within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of The NASDAQ Stock Market Inc. listing rules. Mr. Bettsak resigned from the Board of Directors, effective as of October 21, 2013. As disclosed above, David W. Sass also serves as a director of ICTS International, N.V., traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTC: ICTSF) and Alon Raich serves as its Chief Financial Officer. The Board of Directors believes this leadership structure provides effective and clear leadership for the Company.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for administering the Company’s risk oversight function, and we believe that the Company’s leadership structure, discussed above, supports this function.
Board Meetings
During 2012, the Board of Directors held six meetings. All of the directors but Jonathan Bettsak attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which they served. Each of the directors is encouraged to attend the annual stockholder’s meeting. Two of the three directors currently serving on the Board of Directors attended the 2012 annual stockholder’s meeting.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we had four meetings of our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently has two members: Messrs. Alon Raich (Chairman) and David W. Sass. The Audit Committee recommends to the Company’s Board of Directors to retain or terminate the services of our independent accountants, reviews annual financial statements, considers matters relating to accounting policy and internal controls and reviews the scope of annual audits. All members of the Audit Committee satisfy the current independence standard promulgated by the SEC, as such standards apply specifically to members of audit committees. The Board of Directors has determined that Alon Raich is an “audit committee financial expert” as the SEC has defined that term in Item 407 of Regulation S-K based on their qualifications described above and believes that he and David W. Sass are independent directors within the meaning of NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The Audit Committee written charter, which was included as an appendix to the Company’s 2011 proxy statement, is available upon request from the Company's Chairman of the Board.
58


Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we did not hold meetings of the Compensation Committee, rather, the role of the Compensation Committee was conducted by the full Board of Directors. The role of the Compensation Committee is to advise and make recommendations to the Board of Directors relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, administration of all plans of the Company under which Company securities may be acquired by directors, executive officers, employees and consultants and to produce the report on executive compensation, if required, in the Company’s annual proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The current member of our Compensation Committee is David W. Sass, who is an independent director. Jonathan Bettsak, who was a member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, resigned from the Board of Directors, effective as of October 21, 2013. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors which has the final decisions with respect to all such matters. The Compensation Committee written charter, which was included as an appendix to the Company’s 2011 proxy statement, is available upon request from the Company's Chairman of the Board.

Nominating Committee. We do not have a standing nominating committee. The Board of Directors has not established a nominating committee primarily because the current composition and size of the Board of Directors permits candid and open discussion regarding potential new members of the Board of Directors. Each of the members of the Board of Directors participates in the considerations of director nominees for us. There is no formal process or policy that governs the manner in which we identify potential candidates for the Board of Directors. Historically, however, the Board of Directors has considered several factors in evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors, including the candidate’s knowledge of the company and its business, the candidate’s business experience and credentials, and whether the candidate would represent the interests of all the company’s stockholders as opposed to a specific group of stockholders. Diversity is not considered material in identifying nominees for directors. We do not have a formal policy with respect to our consideration of Board of Directors nominees recommended by our stockholders because we are a small company. However, the Board of Directors will consider candidates recommended by stockholders on a case-by-case basis. A stockholder who desires to recommend a candidate for nomination to the Board of Directors should do so by writing to us at 18 East 16th Street, Suite 307, New York, NY 10003, Attn: Chairman of the Board.

Deadline and Procedures for Submitting Board of Directors Nominations
A stockholder wishing to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors at the next Annual Meeting is required to give written notice containing the required information specified above addressed to the Board of Directors, c/o Chairman of the Board, InkSure Technologies Inc., 18 East 16th Street, Suite 307, New York, NY 10003, of his or her intention to make such a nomination. The notice of nomination and other required information must be received by the Company no later than September 11, 2014.
With respect to the deadlines discussed above, if the date of the next Annual Meeting is advanced by more than thirty days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than thirty days from the anniversary of the 2013 Annual Meeting, a stockholder must submit any such proposal to the Company no later than the close of business on the sixtieth day prior to the date of the Company’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the next Annual Meeting.

Employment Agreements
On March 2, 2010, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Tal Gilat as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Gilat is entitled to a base salary of New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) 50,000 per month. The Company granted to Mr. Gilat options to purchase up to 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock according and subject to the provisions of the Company's 2002 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan, or the Option Plan. The options are exercisable at $0.38 per share and vest as follows: 58,333 options were vested on September 2, 2010 and the rest in ten equal quarterly installments up until March 2, 2013. As of December 5, 2013, all the 700,000 options had vested.
On March 1, 2011, Mr. Gilat’s base salary was increased to NIS 60,000 and the tax-exemption limitation on the parties' contributions to the employees' advanced study fund (“Keren Hishtalmut”) was canceled, so that the parties' contributions (Company - 7.5% of Base Salary and Employee - 2.5% of Base Salary) were made from the Employee's entire Base Salary, without regard to such tax-exemption limitation.
61

On January 9, 2012, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Gilat’s compensation package for 2011 and determined it needed to be revised. The Compensation Committee recommended that the total compensation package, should be $425,000 inclusive of all Israeli social benefits (“Bituach Menahalim, Keren Hishtalmut” etc.), plus an automobile and automobile expenses based upon the current vehicle supplied to Mr. Gilat. In addition, the Compensation Committee recommended that Mr. Gilat receive such number of shares of common stock of the Company for the year 2011, equal to 2.5% of the total issued and outstanding stock capital of the Company, all under the terms of the Company’s 2011 Employees, Directors and Consultants Stock Plan, or the Stock Plan.
With respect to Mr. Gilat’s compensation for the year 2012, the Compensation Committee authorized a total compensation package salary of $300,000, inclusive of all Israeli social benefits (“Bituach Menahalim, Keren Hishtalmut” etc.), plus a car as outlined in the previous paragraph, plus a bonus arrangement up to $150,000, payable according to a formula that Mr. Peleg (the chairman of the Board of Directors) would develop and disclose for approval to the full Board of Directors. The MBO formula is based on the 2012 budget, approved by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2012 and it consists of specific revenues and EBITDA milestones. The MBO, if earned, shall be paid within two weeks after the audit for the year end December 31, 2012 has been completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of Directors have the right to grant additional bonuses based on extraordinary performance in their sole discretion, payable in cash, stock or options or a combination thereof. In 2012, the MBO criteria were not met and the Company did not record any liability for bonuses.
In addition, Mr. Gilat would receive shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and another 2.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company in 2012, totaling into 5% of the outstanding equity of the Company.

In addition, in the event the Company is sold and Mr. Gilat facilitates the sale of the Company, he shall receive an additional bonus of 5% of the net consideration received in the sale on the same basis that the consideration is received. As an example, if the payout of the sale consideration is over a period of years, the bonus would be paid out on the same basis. Therefore, if the Asset Sale is completed, Mr. Gilat will receive approximately $75,000, on the same basis that the consideration is received, pursuant to his 2012 compensation package approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.
On May 14, 2012, the Board of Directors reviewed the cash position of the Company and the rate of burn.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
The Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.
Prior to engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for the next year's audit, management will submit an estimate of fees for the services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.
1.AUDIT services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

2.AUDIT-RELATED services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.
66


3.TAX services include services related to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

4.OTHER FEES are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.
Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee pre-approved all the above listed fees in accordance with its policy.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
In fulfilling its responsibilities for the financial statements for fiscal year 2012, the Audit Committee took the following actions:
·reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 with management and BAC;
·discussed with BAC the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards Vol. 1, AV Section 38), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, relating to the conduct of the audit; and
·received written disclosures and the letter from BAC regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee further discussed with BAC their independence. The Audit Committee also considered the status of pending litigation, taxation matters and other areas of oversight relating to the financial reporting and audit process that the Committee determined appropriate.
Based on the Audit Committee's review of the audited financial statements and discussions with management and BAC, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 3: CORPORATE NAME CHANGE
At this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from InkSure Technologies Inc. to New York Global Innovations Inc.
Spectra has requested, and we have agreed, to change our name in connection with the transaction. The Company’s management and the Board of Directors believe that the name change would be in the best interest of the Company, but will not necessarily reflect the future operations of the Company.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, the proxies granted by stockholders will be voted aggregately for approval of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, unless a proxy specifies that it is not to be voted in favor of the amendment.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date, time or place, if deemed necessary in the judgment of the proxy holders, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to vote in favor of Proposal 1. Any adjournment of the Annual Meeting may be made without notice, other than by the announcement made at the Annual Meeting, if the majority of those shares present at the meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon approve the adjournment proposal. However, if, after the adjournment, the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a new notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. If we adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date, we will transact the same business and, unless we must fix a new record date, only the stockholders who were eligible to vote at the original meeting will be permitted to vote at the adjourned meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 4 TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 1.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2014 ANNUAL MEETING
It is currently anticipated that the Company will hold its next Annual Meeting in December 2014 and would mail the notice of such meeting and related proxy statement to its stockholders in November 2014. Stockholders who wish to present proposals appropriate for consideration at our next Annual Meeting must submit the proposal in proper form consistent with our By-laws to us at our address as set forth on the first page of this proxy statement and in accordance with the applicable regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act no later than September 11, 2014 in order for the proposition to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such Annual Meeting. Any such proposals should contain the name and record address of the stockholder, the class and number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned as of the Record Date established for the meeting, a description of, and reasons for, the proposal and all information that would be required to be included in the proxy statement file with the SEC if such stockholder was a participant in the solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The proposal, as well as any questions related thereto, should be directed to our Secretary.
If a stockholder submits a proposal after the September 11, 2014 deadline required under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act but still wishes to present the proposal at our next Annual Meeting (but not in our proxy statement), the proposal, which must be presented in a manner consistent with our By-laws and applicable law, must be submitted to our Secretary in proper form at the address set forth above so that it is received by our Secretary by October 15, 2014.
We did not receive notice of any proposed matter to be submitted by stockholders for a vote at this Annual Meeting and, therefore, in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 14a-4(c) any proxies held by persons designated as proxies by our Board of Directors and received in respect of this Annual Meeting will be voted in the discretion of our management on such other matter which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
OTHER INFORMATION
Proxies for the Annual Meeting will be solicited by mail and through brokerage institutions and all expenses involved, including printing and postage, will be paid by us. In addition, arrangements will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of stock, and we may reimburse such persons for their expenses.
YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT OR THAT THE COMPANY HAS REFERRED YOU TO. NO ONE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT IS DIFFERENT.
A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC is being mailed as part of our Annual Report to Stockholders with this proxy statement to each stockholder of record as of the close of business on December 27, 2013. A stockholder may also request an additional copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended, without charge except for exhibits to the report, by writing to InkSure Technologies Inc., 18 East 16th Street, Suite 307, New York, NY 10003, Attention: Chairman of the Board.

69

The Board of Directors is aware of no other matters, except for those incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting, that are to be presented to stockholders for formal action at the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment.

The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and each such other agreement, document and instrument, except as specifically identified on Schedule 4.2, does not and will not with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both:

(a)           result in a breach of or constitute a default by the Seller or result in any right of termination or other effect adverse to the Seller under any indenture or loan or credit agreement of the Seller, or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Acquired Assets are bound or affected;

(b)           result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance or claim of any nature whatsoever on the Acquired Assets;

12.1           Indemnification by Seller.  Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents, harmless from and against – and will reimburse Buyer and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents for – any claims by third persons, damages, liabilities, diminution in value, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees incurred in seeking indemnification hereunder or defending any claim by a third person, amounts paid in settlement of any claim or suit and costs of clean-up, restoration, remediation and removal), taxes, fines, penalties and interest, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, which may be sustained or suffered by Buyer or its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, arising out of, based upon, or by reason of:

(a)           a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Sections 4.1 through 4.22 hereof, inclusive, or a failure to perform any agreement or covenant made by Seller anywhere else in this Agreement or in any other agreement delivered hereunder,

(b)           any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of any matter or thing covered by such breached representation, warranty, agreement or covenant, and

(c)           any liability that is an Excluded Liability;

provided, however, that no indemnification shall be payable by Seller with respect to any claim of Buyer for breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Sections 4.1 through 4.22 hereof, inclusive, asserted by Buyer after the expiration or termination date, if any, prescribed for such representation or warranty in the proviso of the first sentence of Section 11.1 hereof, provided that once notice of any claim has been timely given, additional related claims arising out of substantially the same circumstances may be made at any time prior to the final resolution of such claim (by means of a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, a binding arbitration decision or a settlement approved by the parties involved) even if such resolution occurs after the expiration or termination date, if any, prescribed for such representation or warranty in the proviso of the first sentence of Section 11.1 hereof.  For clarification and the avoidance of doubt, the limitation on liability for indemnification set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to claims under clause (c) of this Section 12.1 hereof in respect of Excluded Liabilities.  Any indemnification due from Seller to Buyer shall be paid in United States dollars.

12.2           Indemnification by Buyer.  Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents, harmless from and against – and will reimburse Seller and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents for – any claims by third persons, damages, liabilities, diminution in value, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in seeking indemnification hereunder or defending any claim by a third person, and amounts paid in settlement of any claim or suit) of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, which may be sustained or suffered by Seller or its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, arising out of, based upon, or by reason of:
A - 38


(a)           a breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Sections 5.1 through 5.5 hereof, inclusive, or a failure to perform any agreement or covenant made by Buyer anywhere else in this Agreement or in any other agreement delivered hereunder,

(b)           any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of any matter or thing covered by such breached representation, warranty, agreement or covenant, and

(c)           the Assumed Liabilities;

provided, however, that no indemnification shall be payable by Buyer with respect to any claim of Seller for breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Sections 5.1 through 5.5 hereof, inclusive, asserted by Seller after the expiration or termination date, if any, prescribed for such representation or warranty in the proviso of the first sentence of Section 11.1 hereof, provided that once notice of any claim has been timely given, additional related claims arising out of substantially the same circumstances may be made at any time prior to the final resolution of such claim (by means of a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, a binding arbitration decision or a settlement approved by the parties involved) even if such resolution occurs after the expiration or termination date, if any, prescribed for such representation or warranty in the proviso of the first sentence of Section 11.1 hereof.  For clarification and the avoidance of doubt, the limitation on liability for indemnification set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to claims under clause (c) of this Section 12.2 in respect of Assumed Liabilities.  Any indemnification payments due from Buyer to Seller shall be paid in United States dollars.

12.3           Notice, Defense of Claims.  (a) Each party to this Agreement shall give prompt written notice to the other party to this Agreement of each claim for indemnification hereunder specifying the amount and nature of the claim, and of any matter which is likely to give rise to an indemnification claim.  Failure to give timely notice of a matter which may give rise to an indemnification claim shall not affect the rights of the indemnified party to collect such claim from the indemnifying party except to the extent that failure to so notify materially adversely affects the indemnifying party's ability to defend such claim against a third party.  In any case in which a claim for indemnification involves a claim brought by a third party ("Third Party Claim") and the indemnifying party has not exercised its rights to assume and control the defense of such matter as provided under subparagraph (b) of this Section 12.3, the indemnified party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume and control the defense of any such matter or its settlement at the indemnifying party's reasonable expense.  Where the indemnified party does not exercise its right to assume and control the defense of such matter or its settlement or the indemnifying party has exercised its rights to assume and control the defense of such matter as provided under subparagraph (b) of this Section 12.3, the indemnifying party shall assume and control the defense of such matter or its settlement at its own expense, provided that the indemnified party may participate in the defense at its own expense and, provided, further, that the indemnifying party will keep the indemnified party informed as to the status of the defense and will not, except with the consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which involves more than the payment of money or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
A - 39


(b)           The indemnifying party will thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days in the case of a Third Party Claim with respect to which a complaint has been filed) after receipt by the indemnifying party of the written notification from the indemnified party of the Third Party Claim advise the indemnified party whether the indemnifying party elects to assume and control the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim.  If the indemnifying party elects to assume and control the defense and settlement of  the Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall provide to the indemnified party at the time of such election the following documents: (i) written notice that the indemnifying party undertakes such obligations and (ii) an agreement to indemnify the indemnified party for all damages, liabilities, losses and expenses with respect to such Third Party Claim without regard to any limitations or qualifications to such indemnification as may be provided in Article 12 hereof.  Upon the delivery of the above items, the indemnifying party will have the right to diligently, through counsel of its own choice, control the good faith defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim provided the indemnified party will have the right to participate in such defense and settlement discussions, through counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and the indemnified party will have the right to approve any proposed settlement to the extent provided for in Section 12.3(a).  Any failure on the part of the indemnifying party of notifying the indemnified party within the time period provided above regarding the election shall be deemed an election by the indemnifying party not to assume and control the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim.

12.4           No Tax Effect; Insurance Effect.  (a) Indemnification for damages, liabilities, losses and expenses payable pursuant to the indemnification provisions in this Article 12 shall be on a dollar for dollar basis and shall be determined without regard to deductibility for tax purposes or other tax benefits to the indemnified party or any other person or entity resulting therefrom.

(b)           The Seller shall make any indemnification payments determined to be payable to Buyer hereunder promptly after such determination is made, without delay, and without regard to any expectation that Buyer will recover insurance proceeds as a direct result of the matter giving rise to the claim for which indemnification payments are to be made.  Buyer shall have no obligation whatsoever to seek to recover or make a claim for insurance proceeds as a result of any matter giving rise to an indemnification claim of Buyer against the Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer receives any insurance proceeds as a direct result of the matter giving rise to any indemnification claim of Buyer against the Seller prior to the date upon which Buyer's indemnification claim is determined to be payable to Buyer, the Seller's indemnification obligation with respect to such claim shall be reduced by the amount of any such insurance proceeds actually received by Buyer.  If Buyer receives any insurance proceeds as a direct result of the matter giving rise to any indemnification claim of Buyer against the Seller after the Seller has paid such indemnification claim to Buyer, then Buyer shall promptly turn over any such insurance proceeds received to the Seller to the extent of the payments made by the Seller to Buyer on the claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, as used in this Section 12.4 hereof, the term "insurance proceeds" shall mean and refer to payments made by an insurer in the nature of "true insurance" (excluding any payments, proceeds or recoveries under a so-called "self-insurance" system).
A - 40


12.5           Limitation of Seller’s Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) Seller shall have no liability to Buyer with respect to any claims of Buyer for breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Sections 4.1 through 4.22 hereof, inclusive, until the total of such claims shall exceed US$25,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event Buyer shall be entitled to recover the amount of such claims in excess of the Deductible, (ii) the aggregate combined liability of Seller to Buyer with respect to all claims of Buyer for breach of the representations and warranties  made by Seller in Sections 4.1 through 4.22 hereof, inclusive (with the exception of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1 (first and second sentences only), 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4(c)) shall not exceed US$200,000 and (iii) Buyer may recover its claims for breach of the representations and warranties made by Seller in Sections 4.1 through 4.22 hereof, inclusive (with the exception of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (first and second sentences only), 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4(c)) solely from and to the extent of the Escrow Funds.  For clarification and the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on Seller’s liability set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not apply, without limitation, to any of the following claims of Buyer (the “Subject Claims”): (A) claims under clause (c) of Section 12.1 in respect of Excluded Liabilities, (B) claims for breach of any agreement or covenant (as distinguished from representations and warranties) made by Seller in this Agreement and (C) claims for breach of the representations and warranties made by Seller in Sections 4.1 (first and second sentences only), 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4(c) of this Agreement; and there shall be no time bars or dollar or other limitations on the liability of Seller for Subject Claims.

A - 44


14.           NON-COMPETITION COVENANT.

14.1  Non-Competition.  Seller covenants and agrees with Buyer that Seller and its affiliates will not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, anywhere within the world (the "Territory"), during the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Restrictive Period"):  (a) form, acquire, invest in, finance, own, operate, manage, assist, support, provide premises, facilities, goods or services to, or become associated in any capacity or to any extent, directly or indirectly with, an enterprise (a "Competing Business") which is engaged in the business of manufacturing or selling: (i) any products or services manufactured or sold by Seller in the conduct of the Business on, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date, (ii) any products or services now or hereafter manufactured or sold by Buyer or (iii) any products or services competitive with, or having the same applications as, any products or services referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii); (b) interfere with or attempt to interfere with any officers, employees, representatives or agents of Buyer, or any of its affiliates, or induce or attempt to induce any of them to leave the employ of Buyer or any of its affiliates, or violate the terms of their contract with any of them; or (c) for the purpose of conducting or engaging in a Competing Business, call upon, solicit, advise or otherwise do, or attempt to do, business with any clients, suppliers, customers or accounts of the Business or the Buyer or any of its affiliates or take away or interfere or attempt to interfere with any custom, trade, business or patronage of the Business or the Buyer or any of its affiliates.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictive covenants contained in this Article 14 are independent agreements and that the existence of any claim or claims by Seller against Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer under this Agreement or otherwise will not excuse any breach of such restrictive covenants.

14.2           Injunctive Relief.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any breach of the restrictive covenants contained in this Article 14 would cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach would be inadequate, and Seller agrees and consents that, in addition to any other available remedy, temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding which may be brought by Buyer to enforce such restrictive covenant without necessity of proof that any other remedy at law is inadequate.

14.3           Enforcement.  In the event that any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Article 14 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a period of time, too large a geographic area, or too great a range of activities, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area, or range of activities as to which it may be enforceable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in implementation thereof, the parties intend that the restrictive covenants of this Article 14 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county or province of each and every state, territory or jurisdiction of each country included within the Territory and one for each month of the Restrictive Period.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such covenants, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceeding to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any one or more of such separate covenants because the total time thereof is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such covenants, which would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable period of time, be in force for such lesser period of time as shall be deemed reasonable and not excessive by such court.

15.2           Definition of Confidential Information.  As used herein, the term "Confidential Information" means the following oral or written information relating to the Business:  know-how, technology, inventions, designs, methodologies, trade secrets, patents, secret processes and formulae, information and data relating to the development, research, testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale, distribution and uses of products and services, sources of supplies, budgets and strategic plans, the identity and special needs of customers, plants and other properties, and any other information which may give the Seller an opportunity to obtain an advantage over its competitors who do not know or use such information, provided that the term "Confidential Information" shall not include (i) any such information that, prior to its use or disclosure by Seller or their affiliates or employees, can be shown to have been in the public domain or generally known or available to customers, suppliers or competitors of the Business through no breach of the provisions of this Article 15 or other non-disclosure covenants or duties; (ii) any such information that, prior to its use or disclosure by Seller or their affiliates or employees, was rightfully in the receiving party's possession, without violation of the provisions of this Article 15 or other non-disclosure covenants or duties; and (iii) any such information that, prior to its use or disclosure by Seller or their affiliates or employees, was independently developed by the receiving party without violation of the provisions of this Article 15 or other non-disclosure covenants or duties.

15.3           Injunctive Relief.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the breach of the restrictive covenant contained in this Article 15 would cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach would be inadequate, and Seller agrees and consents that, in addition to any other available remedy, temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding which may be brought by Buyer to enforce such restrictive covenant without necessity of proof that any other remedy at law is inadequate.

WHEREAS, the Agreement provides that a portion of the purchase price payable to Seller pursuant to the Agreement (the "Purchase Price") shall be held in escrow and administered and disposed of as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not a party to, is not bound by, and has no duties or obligations under, the Agreement, that all references in this Escrow Agreement to the Agreement are for convenience, and that the Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Escrow Agreement.

EXHIBIT B-1
InkSure Technologies Inc., InkSure Inc., and InkSure Ltd., (collectively, the “Seller,”) certify that the names, titles, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and specimen signatures set forth in Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1 identify the persons authorized to provide direction and initiate or confirm transactions, including funds transfer instructions, on behalf of the Seller, and that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 is the security procedure selected by the Seller for use in verifying that a funds transfer instruction received by the Escrow Agent is that of the Seller.

The Seller has reviewed each of the security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Escrow Agent.  By selecting the security procedure specified in Part III of this Exhibit B-1, the Seller acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Escrow Agent in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by the Seller.

NOTICE:  The security procedure selected by the Seller will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by the Seller.  If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary.  If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution.  Therefore, it is important that the Seller take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Escrow Agent.

As a separate and independent covenant, Consultant agrees that, during the Restrictive Period, Consultant will not in any way, directly or indirectly (except in the course of performing his duties hereunder), for the purpose of conducting or engaging in any Competitive Business anywhere in the Territory, call upon, solicit, advise or otherwise do, or attempt to do, business with any clients, suppliers, customers or accounts of  the Business with whom Consultant had any dealings during the course of his employment with the Seller or during his consultancy hereunder with the Company, or take away or interfere or attempt to interfere with any custom, trade, business or patronage of the Business, or interfere with or attempt to interfere with the relationship of the Company with any officers, employees, representatives or agents of Company, or induce or attempt to induce any of them to leave the employ of the Company or violate the terms of their contracts with it.

(d)           Independent Agreement.  Consultant acknowledges and agrees that each of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 6 and this Section 7 is an independent agreement and that the existence of any claim or claims by Consultant against the Company under this Agreement or related agreements or otherwise will not excuse Consultant’s breach of any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 6 and this Section 7.

D - 5

(f)           Enforceability.  In the event that any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a period of time, too large a geographic area, or too great a range of activities, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area, or range of activities as to which it may be enforceable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in implementation thereof, the parties intend that the covenants of this Section 7 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county or province of each and every state, territory or jurisdiction of each country included within the Territory and one for each month of the Restrictive Period.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such covenants, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceeding to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any one or more of such separate covenants because the total time thereof is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties that such covenants, which would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable period of time, be in force for such lesser period of time as shall be deemed reasonable and not excessive by such court.

(g)           Special Compensation.  As special consideration for the restrictive covenants made by Consultant in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, the Company has paid to Consultant on the date hereof the sum of US$60,000, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged by Consultant.

INKSURE TECHNOLOGIES INC.
(U.S. DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1:-               BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by InkSure Technologies Inc., or the Company, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or US GAAP, for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods indicated in conformity with US GAAP applicable to interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 that are included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013, or our Annual Report. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The Company has sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which has resulted in a significant reduction in its cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company's operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted in a net loss of $165 and negative cash flows from operation activities of $295. The Company believes that it will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. The Company experiences difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company's existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve the Company's cash and manage its liquidity, the Company has implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.

In April 2012, the Company's previous major customer, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of the Company's revenues from sales in Europe during the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed the Company that it lost its government contract and as a result, this major customer does not continue to purchase the Company's products at all. In addition, the Company has experienced a reduction in orders from one other large customer in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013. The Company expects the revenues from these customers to remain lower than historical levels for the remainder of 2013. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of the Company's revenues, will materially adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
 NOTE 2: -             SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2013, the Company InkSure Inc., a Delaware corporation  and InkSure Ltd., an Israeli corporation, or together with the Company and InkSure Inc., the Seller entered into an asset purchase agreement, or the APA with Spectra Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or Spectra, for the sale of substantially all of Seller’s assets to Spectra, or the Asset Sale. In consideration for the acquisition of assets pursuant, to the APA, Spectra will pay the Seller $840,684, plus (i) Spectra’s and the Seller’s joint good faith estimate of the value of Seller’s inventory at the time and date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the APA (subject to adjustment after the closing), (ii) $200,000, deposited with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or the Escrow Agent to be held in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement, or the Escrow Agreement to secure InkSure’s obligations to pay Spectra any indemnification claims for a period of up to one year after the date of the closing, (iii) up to an additional $185,000 in post-closing conditional payments, and (iv) an amount equal to 50% of all pre-closing accounts receivable collected after the closing, and Spectra assumes and agrees to perform the obligations of the Seller under contracts relating to the Seller's business. Following the acquisition, the Company plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, distribution of cash to our stockholders or the sale of the “shell” company registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, into which the net proceeds may be retained.

6


The Company intends to call an annual meeting of its stockholders to be held in November 2013 at which meeting the Company's stockholders will be asked to, among other items, consider and approve the transactions contemplated by the APA. The following parties, owning an aggregate of approximately 43.31% of the Company’s common stock, have agreed with Spectra to vote their stock to approve the APA and the transactions contemplated therein pursuant to the terms of stockholder voting agreements by and among the Company, Spectra and each of the stockholders party thereto:

Generally, forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "could," "may," "might," "should," "will," the negative of such terms, and words and phrases of similar import. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the difficulty inherent in operating in a rapidly evolving market, market and economic conditions, the impact of competitive products, product demand and market acceptance risks, changes in product mix, our ability to improve our margins, costs and availability of raw materials, fluctuations in operating results, delays in development of highly complex products, risks from uncertainties regarding litigation or mediation, our ability to continue as a going concern, risk of customer contract or sales order cancellations or reductions in volume, failure to meet the conditions necessary to complete the Asset Sale, risks inherent with each of the possible strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale and possibly needing to seek bankruptcy protection if the Asset Sale is not completed or approved by our stockholders, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These risks and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement represents our expectations or forecasts only as of the date it was made and should not be relied upon as representing its expectations or forecasts as of any subsequent date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if our expectations or forecasts change.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, related notes and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Risk Factors included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our preliminary proxy statement filed on October 22, 2013, or our Proxy Statement and in our Annual Report.
OVERVIEW
We currently specialize in comprehensive security solutions designed to protect branded products and documents from counterfeiting, fraud, and diversion. By creating smart protection solutions using proprietary machine-readable authentication technologies, we help companies, governments and organizations worldwide control their most valuable assets, products, reputation and revenues. We employ experts in various fields, including material science, electro-optics and software. We utilize cross-disciplinary technological innovations to implement customized and cost efficient security solutions for data and asset integrity within customers' existing infrastructure and environment.

Our TagSureä solutions (previously known as "SmartInk") enable authentication and tracking of documents and products by adding special chemical markers to standard inks and coatings. The combination of markers, inks and materials produce electro-optic "signatures" - unique codes that are seamlessly incorporated into the printed media used by the customer. Proprietary computerized readers, available in hand-held, stationary and modular kit configurations, quickly verify these codes by manual or automatic operation. By focusing on customer-driven solutions, we are able to offer added value through enhanced reader functionality, including high-speed automatic sorting, one-to-many code matching, first and second level track and trace, code activation at the point of distribution and detrimental authentication for debit applications. The inherent flexibility of our technology also enables overlaying the machine-readable codes onto holograms and other overt features, resulting in multi-layered security that is both effective and economical.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on October 1, 2013, the Company, has agreed that itwith its subsidiaries InkSure Inc. and InkSure Ltd., entered into an asset purchase agreement with Spectra, subject to specified terms and conditions, including approval of the Asset Sale by its stockholders at the Annual Meeting, to sell to Spectra substantially all of its right, title, and interest in substantially all of its assets. In exchange the Company will not, except for increasingreceive on the closing date of the Asset Sale (the “Closing”) $840,684 in cash, plus Spectra’s and the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer’s salary, increase the compensation payable to any officer, director or employee or agentgood faith estimate of the inventory value at the closing date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all pre-closing accounts receivable collected after the Closing, and the Company or enter intomay receive additional contingent consideration upon the achievement of development and commercialization conditions related to orders from certain specified clients. In addition, Spectra will, at the Closing, deposit an additional $200,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to secure the Company’s obligations to pay Spectra any agreement with respectindemnification claims for a period of up to one year after the employmentdate of any employee which is not terminable at will, through and including the Closing.

Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to its stockholders.

REVENUES
In the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, approximately 50% of our revenues were earned from customers located outside the United States compared with 63% in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. In the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, approximately 37% of our revenues were earned from one customer located in the United States compared with 6% from such customer in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012.
In April 2012, our previous major customer, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result, this major customer does not continue to purchase our products at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from one other large customer in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013. We expect the revenues from these customers to remain lower than historical levels for the remainder of 2013. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, less than 1% of our revenues were earned from our other large customer, which comprised 22% of our revenues in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012.
In the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, approximately $80 or 8% of our revenues were generated by the recognition of the approximately three-year-old advances from two of our customers.
COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES
Costs and operating expenses consist of cost of revenues, research and development expenses, selling expenses, marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses as described below.
THREE MONTHS ENDED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
REVENUES. Revenues consist of gross sales of products less discounts. Our potential contracts are subject to a long sales cycle and the timetable for entering and implementing such projects fluctuates. Our revenues, mostly derived by the sales of taggants and readers, decreased by $216, or by 42%, to $300 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013 from $516 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in revenues was mainly due to lower volume of deliveries of our TagSure product to one of our customers located in the Asia and to one of our customers located in Europe. Going forward, for so long as we remain engaged in our current business until the Asset Sale is completed, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market structural risks and uncertainties that will affect our business climate and market visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance.
    Due to our financial condition, we no longer have enough resources to concentrate on projects with long sales cycles. Revenue from customers outside the United States represented 67% and 77% of our revenues for the three months ended on September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revenues were assigned to geographic regions based on the customers' shipment locations.
COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues consists of materials, including taggants and electronic and optical parts, sub-contractors, travel and compensation costs. Cost of revenues decreased by $77, or 48%, to $83 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, from $160 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 28% in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, compared with 31% in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. The decrease in cost of revenues in percentage terms in the three months ended on September 30, 2013 was primarily related to a mix of sales of products with higher profitability in 2013 and lower salary expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation costs attributable to employees engaged in ongoing research and development activities, development-related raw materials and fees of sub-contractors. Research and development expenses decreased by $25, or 26%, to $70 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, from $95 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in research and development expenses was primarily related to lower payroll expenses of $18, lower subcontractors' expenses of $4 and lower non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $3 related to the impact of the accounting rules on share-based payments outlined in ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment".
We did not capitalize research and development expenses in 2013 and 2012, as all such expenses have been charged to operating expenses as incurred.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, promotion, advertising, trade shows and exhibitions, sales support, travel, commissions and related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $23, or 32%, to $48 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, from $71 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily related to a decrease in payroll expenses of $23, a decrease in other expenses of $8 (mainly advertising and travel expenses) offset by higher non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $8 related to the impact of the accounting rules on share-based payments outlined in ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment".
9

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs for administrative, finance and general management personnel, insurance, legal, accounting and administrative costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by $26, or 17%, to $131 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, from $157 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to lower legal expenses of $25 and lower non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $10 related to the impact of the accounting rules on share-based payments outlined in ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment", offset by higher travel expenses of $5 and higher payroll expenses of $4 . We have taken steps to reduce as much of our general and administrative expenses as possible.
General and administrative expenses in the three months ended on September 30, 2013 included non-cash share based compensation expenses of $2.
FINANCIAL INCOME, NET. Financial income, net, increased by $11, or 19%, to $70 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, from financial income, net of $59 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. This increase in financial income, net was primarily related to an increase of $22 in non-cash financial income related to warrants offset by a decrease of $11 in exchange rates changes.

NET LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. At the end of 2010, our board of directors decided to discontinue all further research and development of projects, which were not directly related to our core business of anti-counterfeiting and brand protection solutions, including our RFID product, SARCode, and its related technologies.
The discontinued operation mainly consisted of research and development expenses. These expenses consisted primarily of compensation costs attributable to employees that were engaged in research and development activities, development-related raw materials and fees of sub-contractors and other related costs such as rental of research and development tools. The discontinued operation expenses decreased by $151 to zero in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, from $151 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease was due to accrued legal expenses in the three months ended on September 30, 2012 compared with no legal expenses in the three months ended on September 30, 2013.
NET PROFIT (LOSS). We had a net profit of $38 in the three months ended on September 30, 2013, compared with a net loss of $59 in the three months ended on September 30, 2012, which represents an increase of $97 in net profit. This increase in net profit was primarily related to lower operating expenses, higher financial income, net and no discontinued operation expenses.
NINE MONTHS ENDED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $67, or by 7%, to $982 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, from $915 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. This increase in revenues was mainly due to higher volume of deliveries of our TagSure product to one of our customers located in the United States and to one of our customers located in Asia. Going forward, for so long as we remain engaged in our current business until the Asset Sale is completed, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market structural risks and uncertainties that will affect our business climate and market visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance.
    Due to our financial condition, we no longer have enough resources to concentrate on projects with long sales cycles. Revenue from customers outside the United States represented 50% and 63% of our revenues for the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revenues were assigned to geographic regions based on the customers' shipment locations.
COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues decreased by $21, or 5%, to $375 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 from $396 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 38% in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, compared with 43% in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. The decrease in cost of revenues in percentage terms in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 was primarily related to lower salary expenses and due to the fact that approximately $80 or 8% of our revenues were generated by the recognition of the approximately three-year-old advances from two of our customers, with no cost involved.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses decreased by $98, or 29%, to $244 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, from $342 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in research and development expenses was primarily related to lower payroll expenses of $55, lower subcontractors' expenses of $44 and lower non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $5 related to the impact of the accounting rules on share-based payments outlined in ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment", offset by higher travel expenses of $6.
10

We did not capitalize research and development expenses in 2013 and 2012, as all such expenses have been charged to operating expenses as incurred.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $235, or 61%, to $152 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, from $387 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily related to a decrease in payroll expenses of $182, a decrease in other expenses of $56 (mainly advertising and travel expenses) offset by higher non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $3 related to the impact of the accounting rules on share-based payments outlined in ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment".
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses decreased by $119, or 24%, to $386 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, from $505 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to: lower payroll expenses in an amount of $36, lower legal expenses of $48 and lower non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $43 related to the impact of the accounting rules on share-based payments outlined in ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment" offset by higher travel expenses of $3 and higher other expenses of $5. We have taken steps to reduce as much of our general and administrative expenses as possible.
FINANCIAL INCOME, NET. Financial income, net, decreased by $17, or 63%, to $10 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, from $27 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease in financial income, net was primarily related to an increase of $25 in exchange rates expenses changes, offset by an increase of $8 in non-cash financial income related to warrants.
NET LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The discontinued operation expenses decreased by $261 to zero in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, from $261 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. This decrease was due to accrued legal expenses of $261 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012 compared with no legal expenses in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013.
NET LOSS. We incurred a net loss of $165 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, compared with a net loss of $949 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012, which represents a decrease of $784 in net loss. This decrease in net loss was primarily related to the increase in our revenues, which was mainly due to higher volume of deliveries of our TagSure product to one of our customers located in the United States, the recognition of $80 due to the approximately three-year-old advances from two of our customers and a decrease in our operational expenses, which was mainly due to lower salary expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception in April 1997. As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $17,785, and had positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $618. Losses will continue in the foreseeable future.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2013.

The Company has sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which has resulted in a significant reduction in its cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company's operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted in a net loss of $165 and negative cash flows from operation activities of $295. Further, if the Asset Sale is completed, the Company’s PresidentCompany will no longer have revenue producing operations. The Company believes that it will continue to experience losses and Chief Executive Officerincreased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will receive 5%not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. The Company experiences difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company's existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the net proceedsforegoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve the Company's cash and manage its liquidity, the Company has implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.
Subsequent to the end of the net consideration received byquarter, on October 1, 2013, the Company, or approximately $75,000, on the same basis that the consideration is received, pursuantwith its subsidiaries InkSure Inc. and InkSure Ltd., entered into an asset purchase agreement with Spectra, subject to his 2012 compensation package approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee.
RISK FACTORS
When you decide whether to vote forspecified terms and conditions, including approval of the Asset Sale you should considerby its stockholders at the following factorsAnnual Meeting, to sell to Spectra substantially all of its right, title, and interest in conjunctionsubstantially all of its assets. In exchange the Company will receive on the closing date of the Asset Sale (the “Closing”) $840,684 in cash, plus Spectra’s and the Company’s good faith estimate of the inventory value at the closing date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all pre-closing accounts receivable collected after the Closing, and the Company may receive additional contingent consideration upon the achievement of development and commercialization conditions related to orders from certain specified clients. In addition, Spectra will, at the Closing, deposit an additional $200,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held in accordance with the other information included in this proxy statement.terms of the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to secure the Company’s obligations to pay Spectra any indemnification claims for a period of up to one year after the date of the Closing.
 
Risks Relating
11


Following the Asset Sale, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to its stockholders.
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $271, compared to $596 as of December 31, 2012. This decrease of $325 is primarily due to the Asset Salenet loss of $165 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, an increase of $30 in short-term deposit, a decrease of $47 in trade payables in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, a decrease of $27 in employees and payroll accruals in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, a decrease of $115 in accrued expenses and other payables in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, offset by a decrease of $47 in inventories in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013.
 
WhetherWe had negative cash flow from operating activities of $295 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, compared to a negative cash flow of $1,134 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. The negative cash flow from operating activities in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 is attributable mainly to the net loss of $165,  a decrease of $47 in trade payables in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, a decrease of $27 in employees and payroll accruals in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, a decrease of $115 in accrued expenses and other payables in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, offset by a decrease of $47 in inventories in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013. We had negative cash flow from investing activities of $30 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, compared to positive cash flow from investing activities of $501 in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012. The negative cash flow from investing activities in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 was due to an increase of $30 in short term deposit.
We did not have any cash flow from financing activities in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 and in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012.
Because of the reduced levels of orders from our largest customers and our expectation that our revenues from these customers will continue to remain depressed or decline further, we believe that our existing cash resources, together with cash to be collected from customers, will no longer be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months, absent completion of the Asset Sale. Continuing product development and enhancement, expected new product launches, corporate operations and marketing expenses will continue to require additional capital and our current cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover the plans for our current business.  In order to have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated requirements for the next twelve months, we would be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing if the Asset Sale does not close. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to obtain required additional funds would require us to curtail our operations. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs. Our management has also tightened its cost control, but increased the marketing of our current and new products.

If the Asset Sale is completed, the Company’s Board of Directors plans to explore strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the Asset Sale, which may include future acquisitions, a merger with another company, or other actions to redeploy capital, including, without limitation, the sale of the public shell company into which the net proceeds may be retained. It is unlikely, however, that the Company will make a distribution of cash to our stockholders.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
A.           Our contractual obligations and commitments at September 30, 2013 principally include obligations associated with the lease of one automobile, which expires in June 2016. Our total future obligation is approximately $26 until June 2016. We expect to finance this contractual commitment from cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
B.           During the year 2007 through year 2010, we received governmental research and development grants of approximately $1,905 from the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel, or the OCS. Of this amount, a total of $1,805 was received in connection with the research and development of our RFID product, which we discontinued in November 2010. The remaining $100 were allocated to our ScanSure line of products. These royalties-bearing research and development grants partially covered our research and development RFID project expenses. Royalties would become due to OCS only if the RFID or the ScanSure research and development projects funded by the grant were successfully commercialized and resulted in sales' revenues based on the know-how developed during the RFID or the ScanSure projects. The royalty rate is 3%-4% of the sales revenues based on the RFID or the ScanSure research and development projects funded by the grant, and is capped at the grant amount actually received from the OCS plus interest (total theoretical debt of $2,130).
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.

         No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.               RISK FACTORS

Our business faces many risks, a number of which are described under "Risk Factors" in Part I of our Annual Report, in our Proxy Statement,  and below. The risks so described may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also materially and adversely impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in our Annual Report, in our Proxy Statement or described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could decline and the trading price of our debt or equity securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the foregoing risks and below and the information contained under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before deciding whether to invest in our securities.

THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, COULD AFFECT OUR ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE BY US. THOSE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS AND WE ASSUME NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE THAT INFORMATION. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY ANY OF THESE RISKS. OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED SPECULATIVE AND THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE DUE TO ANY OF THESE RISKS, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT. THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS ARE NOT THE ONLY RISK FACTORS FACING US. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Risks Related to Existing Business
The risks below relate to our currently existing business. If the Asset Sale is completed, we will have sold substantially all of our assets. For a description of certain risk regarding the Asset Sale, see "Risks Related to Asset Sale" below.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN FINANCING NECESSARY TO SUPPORT OUR OPERATIONS, OUR CASH RESOURCES WILL BE REDUCED TO A LEVEL THAT WILL NOT ENABLE US TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS AND WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

Because of the reduced levels of orders from our largest customers and our expectation that our revenues from these customers will continue to remain depressed or decline further, we believe that our existing cash resources, together with cash to be collected from customers, will no longer be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months. Continuing product development and enhancement, expected new product launches, corporate operations and marketing expenses will continue to require additional capital and our current cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover our business plans. In order to have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated requirements for the next twelve months, we will be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to obtain required additional funds will require us to curtail our operations. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders will lose their entire investment in our company.
In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs. Our management has also tightened its cost control, but increased the marketing of our current and new products.

We are experiencing difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution.

As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
SINCE INCEPTION, WE HAVE HAD OPERATING LOSSES AND WE DO NOT EXPECT TO BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.

We have sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which have resulted in a significant reduction in our cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted in a net loss of $165 and negative cash flows from operation activities of $295. We believe that we will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. We may experience difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company's existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we are implementing cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.

In April 2012, our previous customer, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result, this major customer does not continue to purchase our products at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from one other large customer in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our operating expense levels are based on internal forecasts for future demand and not on firm customer orders for products or services. Our results may be affected by fluctuating demand for our products and services from one quarter to the next and by increases in the costs of components acquired from suppliers among other issues.
SINCE INCEPTION, WE HAVE HAD NEGATIVE CASH FLOWS.
We have incurred substantial negative cash flows since our inception. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $325, from $596 in December 31, 2012. To the extent that we may have negative cash flows in the future, we will continue to require additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that we will achieve positive cash flow from our operations or that we can secure additional capital.
IF OUR PRODUCT OFFERINGS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THE MARKET, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
We currently generate all of our revenue from sales of products relating to the "authentication industry." The market for providing these products and services is highly competitive and is affected by the introduction of new products and services that compete with the products and services offered by us. Demand for these products and services will be affected by numerous factors outside our control, including, among others, market acceptance by prospective customers, the introduction of new or superior competing technologies or products and services that are available on more favorable pricing terms than those being offered by us, and the general condition of the economy. Our products have not yet achieved any significant market penetration. Market acceptance for our products and services may not develop in a timely manner or may not be sustainable. New or increased competition may result in market saturation, more competitive pricing, and lower margins. Our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected if the market for our products and services fails to grow, grows more slowly than anticipated, or becomes more competitive, or if targeted customers do not accept our products and services and we experience a corresponding reduction in revenues, a higher loss and a failure to generate substantial revenues in the future. In addition, we may enter into several agreements pursuant to which we may grant third parties broad, exclusive rights to distribute and sell certain aspects of our technology, subject to customary provisions governing confidentiality and nondisclosure. Failure of these third parties to effectively market products and services based upon our technology will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition due to the lack of revenues expected to be generated from such agreements.
WE ARE FOCUSING ON OUR NEW SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT, THE SMARTSUREä. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DEVELOP OR COMMERCIALIZE THE SMARTSUREä OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT THAT WE MAY PURSUE IN THE FUTURE, OR EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS OR UNANTICIPATED COSTS IN DOING SO, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE MATERIALLY HARMED.
We are focusing on development of a new authentication of holograms via a commercially available smartphone product. We may spend significant amounts on attempting to develop the product and there is no assurance that such product will be successfully developed or, if developed, that we will be able to commercialize this product. As with many efforts at new product development, we are experiencing significant delays and incurring significant unanticipated expenses. Accordingly, we may spend significant time, management resources and money on the smartphone application with no material results. Even if we successfully develop our authentication of holograms via commercially available smart phones technology, we may be unable to successfully market our SmartSure products.
15

OUR SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION APPLICATION MUST MEET EXACTING TECHNICAL AND QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS. DEFECTS, ERRORS IN OR INTEROPERABILITY ISSUES WITH OUR PRODUCTS OR THE FAILURE OF OUR PRODUCTS TO OPERATE AS EXPECTED COULD AFFECT OUR REPUTATION, RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO US AND IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS.
Our SmartSure authentication application may not operate as expected or may contain defects or errors, which could materially and adversely affect our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our products in the future. Our customers have demanding specifications for quality, performance and reliability that our SmartSure authentication application must meet. Our products are highly technical and designed to be deployed in large and complex data networks and other settings under a wide variety of conditions. Customers may discover errors, defects, or incompatibilities in our products only after they have been fully deployed and are operating under peak stress conditions. In addition, users of our SmartSure authentication application may experience compatibility or interoperability issues between our products and their enterprise software systems or networks, or between our products and other products they use.
The costs incurred in correcting any product defects or errors may be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results. While we test our products for defects or errors prior to product release, defects or errors may be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our customers. To the extent product failures are material, they could adversely affect our business, operating results, customer relationships, reputation and prospects.
OUR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT FOR NEW PRODUCTS MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL.
We incur research and development expenses to develop new products and technologies in an effort to maintain our competitive position in a market characterized by rapid rates of technological advancement. Our research and development efforts are subject to unanticipated delays, expenses and technical problems. There can be no assurance that any of these products or technologies will be successfully developed or that, if developed, will be commercially successful. For example, in November 2010, we discontinued the development of our RFID product and related technologies, after investing in research and development efforts for approximately 5 years and approximately $5 million (net of government grants), because we wanted to focus on our core technology and cash limitations. In the event that we are unable to develop commercialized products from our research and development efforts or we are unable or unwilling to allocate amounts beyond our currently anticipated research and development investment, we could lose our entire investment in these new products and technologies. Any failure to translate research and development expenditures into successful new product introductions could have an adverse effect on our business.
WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS FOR MOST OF OUR REVENUES; THE LOSS OF A MAJOR CUSTOMER HAS ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
In April 2012, our previous major customer, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract, and as a result, this major customer does not continue to purchase our products at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from one other large customer in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013. We expect the revenues from these customers to remain lower than historical levels for the remainder of 2013. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In the nine months ended on September 30, 2013, less than 1% of our revenues were earned from our other large customer, which comprised 22% of our revenues in the nine months ended on September 30, 2012.
A SIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR SALES IS TO INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS; COMPLICATIONS IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Sales to customers outside of the United States accounted for 50% and 63% of our revenues in the nine months ended on September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We are seeking to continue to expand our sales in foreign markets, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so or that such markets will be viable. Moreover, a large percentage of our sales is derived from countries in which the political situation is unstable. To the extent that a large percentage of our sales continues to come from customers outside of the United States, we will continue to be subject to the risks associated with international sales, including economic and political instability, shipping delays, customs duties, export quotas and other trade restrictions, any of which could have a significant impact on our ability to deliver products on a competitive and timely basis. While we have not encountered significant difficulties in connection with sales in international markets to date, future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of custom duties, export quotas or other trade restrictions could have an adverse effect on our business.
WE HAVE GRANTED EXCLUSIVITY RIGHTS TO CERTAIN CUSTOMERS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FUTURE DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS.
We have granted to certain customers the exclusive right to use our products within such customer's country of origin for so long as such customer's orders from us reach a certain level. Although this grant of exclusivity is limited to customers' countries of origin, it is of indefinite term and may have an adverse effect on our ability to enter into agreements with other potential customers that may have broad regional operations.
16


WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE FURTHER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GRANTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL.
During 2007 and through the end of 2010, we received a research and development grant of approximately $1,905 from OCS. Of this amount, a total of $1,805 were received in connection with the research and development of our RFID product, which we discontinued in November 2010. The remaining $100 were allocated to our ScanSure line of products.
Due to the decrease in our operations, the Company reduced its research and development activities and did not apply for new research and development grants. Accordingly, there is no assurance that further grants may be available to us in the future.
WE HAVE A LONG AND VARIABLE SALES CYCLE WHICH CAN RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR REVENUE FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER.
The sales cycle of our products, which is the period of time between the identification of a potential customer and completion of the sale, is typically long and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little control. As our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, a small fluctuation in the timing of sales can cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly from period to period. If revenue falls significantly below anticipated levels, our business would be seriously harmed. Investors can also anticipate uneven revenue and operating results, which may be reflected in a volatile market price for our stock.
WE FACE POTENTIAL LIABILITY DUE TO PRODUCT DEFECTS AND MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES IN DEFENDING LAWSUITS OVER ANY SUCH DEFECTS.
Authentication products as complex as those offered by us may contain undetected errors or defects when first introduced or as new versions are released. Despite testing by us and by current and potential customers, errors may be found in new authentication products after commencement of commercial shipments resulting in product recalls and market rejection of our authentication products and resulting in damage to our reputation, as well as lost revenue, diverted development resources and increased support costs. In addition, our products liability insurance, if any, may be insufficient to cover claims-related errors or defects in our authentication products.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN THE AUTHENTICATION MARKET.
Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. We regard protection of our proprietary rights as critical to our success, and rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. Due to our reliance on our proprietary technology, our inability to protect our proprietary rights adequately would have a material adverse effect on us.
We are also seeking protection under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. We have several patents granted and pending. A patent may not be issued with respect to any patent application filed by us or the scope of any claims granted in any patent may not provide meaningful proprietary protection or a competitive advantage to us. The validity or enforceability of patents which may be issued or licensed to us may be challenged by others and, if challenged, may not be upheld by a court. In addition, competitors may be able to circumvent any patents that may be issued or licensed to us.
We generally have entered into agreements containing confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions with our employees and consultants and limit access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary information. However, the steps taken by us may not prevent misappropriation of our technology and agreements entered into for that purpose may not be enforceable.
Notwithstanding the precautions taken by us, a third party may be able to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization or to develop similar technology independently. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual property. Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products and services are made available. In the future, we may also need to file lawsuits to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets, and determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition due to the substantial costs and diversion of resources.

WE FACE COMPETITION AND PRICING PRESSURES FROM LARGER, WELL FINANCED AND MORE RECOGNIZED COMPANIES AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE WITH SUCH COMPANIES.
The market for our products and services is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have far greater financial, human, and other resources. Barriers to entry in our business are relatively insubstantial and companies with substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing and human resources, as well as those with far greater name recognition than us, may also attempt to enter the market. We believe that our ability to compete depends on our technology and price, as well as on our distribution channels and the quality of products and services. If we do not successfully compete, we will not generate significant revenues or profits. Visible barcodes in particular are considered an authentication technology, and are essentially free.
Lack of financial, personnel and other resources has adversely affected our ability to compete. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we only had two dedicated sales people. Latin America, Africa and much of Asia are effectively lacking proper sales coverage. The audience that can be reached through print ads, direct mail and e-mail, trade shows, conferences and trade group memberships is limited by our limited marketing resources.
WE DEPEND ON THIRD PARTIES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPLIES, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
With regard to our products, we are dependent in part on the availability of equipment, supplies and services provided by independent third parties. Currently we use a limited number of suppliers in order to take advantage of volume discounts. If one of our suppliers were unable to meet our supply demands and we could not quickly replace the source of supply, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition for several reasons, including a delay of receipt of revenues and damage to our business reputation. Certain taggants we use in the production of our inks are rare. If these are not available, production may be delayed which could result in lost sales or additional costs.
WE DEPEND ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
Our success depends to a large degree upon the skills of our senior management team and current key employees. We may be unable to retain our existing key personnel or attract and retain additional key personnel. We do not maintain key person life insurance for any of our officers or key employees. We require our executives and key employees to enter non-competition agreements with us. Due to our reliance on our senior management and key employees, the loss of any of our key executives, the use of proprietary or trade secret data by former employees who compete with us, or the failure to attract, integrate, motivate, and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
OUR SPECIALTY INKS INCLUDE VARIOUS CHEMICALS AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, FOR WHICH WE COULD INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES FOR PROBLEMS RELATING TO THEIR SHIPPING AND STORAGE.
Our operations are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Our specialty inks include various chemicals, some of which may be hazardous substances and subject to various government regulations relating to their transfer, handling, packaging, use, and disposal. From time to time, we may store these chemicals or inks at our facilities in the United States and Israel or at our subcontracted manufacturer's facilities, and a shipping company ships them at our direction. We could face liability for problems that may arise when we store or ship these inks or chemical components. To the extent future laws and regulations are adopted or interpretations of existing laws and regulations change, new requirements may be imposed on our future activities or may create liability retroactively. Failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations could subject us to monetary damages and injunctive action, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL AFFECT THE OPERATIONS OF OUR SUBSIDIARY IN ISRAEL AND MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
InkSure Ltd., our principal operating subsidiary, is incorporated under Israeli law and its principal office, manufacturing facility and research and development facility are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic, security and military conditions in the Middle East in general, and in Israel in particular, directly affect InkSure Ltd.'s operations. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Despite negotiations to effect peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, the future of these peace efforts is uncertain. In recent years there have been extensive hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon and with Hamas, which effectively took control of the Gaza Strip.
18

 Since early 2011, riots and popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East, some of which have common borders with Israel, have led to severe political instability in those countries. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and these countries.  In addition, this instability may affect the global economy and marketplace. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region, including acts of terrorism or any other hostilities involving or threatening Israel, would likely negatively affect business conditions and could make it more difficult for us to conduct our operations in Israel, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our financial results. Furthermore, several countries still restrict trade with Israeli companies, which limit our ability to make sales to, or purchase components from, those countries. Any future armed conflict, political instability, continued violence in the region or restrictions could limit our ability to operate our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
OUR OPERATIONS COULD BE DISRUPTED AS A RESULT OF THE OBLIGATION OF MANAGEMENT OR KEY PERSONNEL OF INKSURE LTD. TO PERFORM MILITARY SERVICE.
Generally, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 45 are, unless exempt, obligated to perform up to 36 days of military reserve duty annually. Additionally, all Israeli residents of this age are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of the officers and employees of InkSure Ltd. are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence for a significant period of one or more of InkSure Ltd.'s officers or key employees due to military service. Any such disruption could limit our ability to operate our business and could affect our business, results and financial condition.
UNDER CURRENT ISRAELI LAW, INKSURE LTD. MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL.
InkSure Ltd. has non-competition agreements with all of its employees. These agreements prohibit its employees, if they cease working for InkSure Ltd., from directly competing with it or working for its competitors, generally, for up to twelve months. However, we have been advised by Israeli counsel that Israeli courts are reluctant to enforce non-compete undertakings of former employees. In specific cases, our competitive position could be greatly harmed if we could not enforce these agreements.
FLUCTUATIONS IN THE EXCHANGE RATE BETWEEN THE U.S. DOLLAR AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS.
We incur expenses for our operations in Israel in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and translate these amounts into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting consolidated results. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations as well as the value of our assets and liabilities. Fluctuations may adversely affect the comparability of period-to-period results. In addition, we hold foreign currency balances, primarily British Pounds, Euros and NIS, that will create foreign exchange gains or losses, depending upon the relative values of the foreign currency at the beginning and end of the reporting period, affecting our net income and earnings per share. Although we may use hedging techniques in the future (which we currently do not use), we may not be able to pay,eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price.
WE ARE EXPOSED TO SPECIAL RISKS IN FOREIGN MARKETS WHICH MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO CONVERT LOCAL CURRENCY INTO U.S. DOLLARS AND THEREBY FORCE US TO CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
In conducting our business in foreign countries, we are subject to political, economic, legal, operational and other risks that are inherent in operating in other countries. These risks range from difficulties in settling transactions in emerging markets to possible nationalization, expropriation, price controls and other restrictive governmental actions. We also face the risk that exchange controls or providesimilar restrictions imposed by foreign governmental authorities may restrict our ability to convert local currency received or held by it in their countries into U.S. dollars or other currencies, or to take those dollars or other currencies out of those countries.
UNDER ISRAELI LAW, OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY FACE DIFFICULTIES IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST OUR SUBSIDIARY INKSURE LTD., ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS.
InkSure Ltd. is incorporated under Israeli law and its principal office, manufacturing facility and research and development facility are located in Israel. Certain of the directors and InkSure Ltd.'s professional advisors are residents of Israel or otherwise reside outside of the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are or may be located outside of the United States. It may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon InkSure Ltd. or upon any such directors or professional advisors or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States' courts predicated upon civil liability of InkSure Ltd. or such persons under United States federal securities laws. InkSure Ltd. has been advised by Israeli counsel, that Israeli courts may not (1) enforce judgments of United States' courts obtained against InkSure Ltd. or such directors or professional advisors predicated solely upon the civil liabilities provisions of United States' federal securities laws, or (2) impose liabilities in original actions against InkSure Ltd. or such directors and professional advisors predicated solely upon such United States' laws. However, subject to certain time limitations, Israeli courts will enforce foreign (including United States) final judgments for liquidated amounts in civil matters, obtained after due trial before a court of competent jurisdiction which recognizes similar Israeli judgments, provided that (1) due process has been observed, (2) such judgments or the execution thereof are not contrary to Israeli law, public policy, security or sovereignty, (3) such judgments were not obtained by fraud and do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties and (4) an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the law suit is instituted in the foreign court.
19

WE HAVE A STOCKHOLDER THAT MAY BE ABLE TO EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER US AND ALL MATTERS SUBMITTED TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS WHICH MAY MAKE US DIFFICULT TO BE ACQUIRED AND LESS ATTRACTIVE TO NEW INVESTORS.
ICTS International, N.V. and its affiliates, or ICTS, beneficially own, 9,915,555 shares of our common stock, representing, as of September 30, 2013, approximately 22.97% of our outstanding common stock. Such ownership interest provides ICTS and its affiliates with substantial influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders, including the election of directors and the adoption of a merger agreement, and such influence could make us a less attractive acquisition or investment target. To date ICTS has not exercised any such influence in a way that would materially or adverse affect the Company.
       However, ICTS entered into a voting agreement with Spectra contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the APA. Pursuant to the agreement, ICTS agreed to vote all shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by it in favor of the approval of the APA and the transactions contemplated by the APA and related agreements and against any actions that would interfere with such transactions.
OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION CONTAINS ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VOTING POWER OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a new series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. Such authority, together with certain provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us, may discourage bids for the paymentcommon stock at a premium over the market price and may adversely affect the market price, and the voting and other rights of allthe holders of the common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of our preferred stock, we may do so in the future. The board of directors of a Delaware corporation may issue rights, options, warrants or other convertible securities, or rights entitling its holders to purchase, receive or acquire shares or fractions of shares of the corporation or assets or debts or other obligations of the corporation, upon such terms as are determined by the board of directors. Our board of directors is free, subject to their fiduciary duties to stockholders, to structure the issuance or exercise of the rights in a manner which may exclude significant stockholders from being entitled to receive such rights or to exercise such rights or in a way which may effectively prevent a takeover of the corporation by persons deemed hostile to management. Nothing contained in our certificate of incorporation will prohibit our board of directors from using these types of rights in this manner.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS AND ARE UNLIKELY TO DO SO FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have never paid cash or other dividends on our common stock. It is our intention to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and therefore, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Investors seeking dividend income should not invest in our common stock.
THE TRADING OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS ILLIQUID AND VOLATILE WHICH MAY PREVENT STOCKHOLDERS FROM SELLING THEIR STOCKS AT THE TIME OR PRICE THEY DESIRE.
Our common stock is traded on the over-the-counter market with quotations published on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "INKS". The trading volume of our common stock historically has been limited and sporadic, and the stock prices have been volatile. For example, during the nine months prior to September 30, 2013, our common stock traded at prices ranging from $0.04 to $0.09. As a result of the limited and sporadic trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the over-the-counter market is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its liabilitiesfair market value. The price at which our common stock will trade in the future may be highly volatile and obligations. Ifmay fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, quarterly variations in our operating results (which have historically been, and we expect to continue to be, substantial) and actual or anticipated announcements of new products or services by us, other business partners, or competitors as well as the number of shares available for sale in the market.

"PENNY STOCK" RULES MAY RESTRICT THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAY AFFECT OUR STOCKHOLDERS' ABILITY TO SELL THEIR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.
Our common stock is subject to rules promulgated by the SEC, relating to "penny stocks," which apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange or national market system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the SEC. These rules require brokers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such salepenny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our common stock and may affect the secondary market for our common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our common stock and may affect our stockholders' ability to sell their shares in the secondary market.
ALTHOUGH OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER EVALUATED OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND CONSIDERED IT EFFECTIVE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING WILL CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE IN THE FUTURE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BEING UNRELIABLE, GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS OR LOSS OF INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish an annual report by our management assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Management's report as of the end of fiscal year 2012 concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. There is, however, no assurance that we will be able to maintain such effective internal control over financial reporting in the future. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting can result in errors or other problems in our financial statements. In addition, our internal control over financial reporting is not completed, it is possiblerequired to be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the future, if we are unable to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the Company will file for,accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also result in investigation or will be forcedsanctions by regulatory authorities.
Risks Related to resort to, bankruptcy by its creditors and no assets may be available for payment to unsecured creditors or for distribution to Company stockholders.Asset Sale

WHETHER OR NOT THE ASSET SALE IS COMPLETED, THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY, OR PROVIDE FOR THE PAYMENT OF, ALL OF ITS LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS. IF SUCH SALE IS NOT COMPLETED, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE FOR, OR WILL BE FORCED TO RESORT TO, BANKRUPTCY BY ITS CREDITORS AND NO ASSETS MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT TO UNSECURED CREDITORS OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS.
 
If the Asset Sale is not completed, the Company believes that it is likely that it will file for, or will be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection. In this event, it is extremely unlikely that the Company would be able to pay, or provide for the payment of, all of its liabilities and obligations because the Company’sCompany's obligations could exceed the amount of available cash and other liquid assets of the business, and, therefore, there would be no assets available for distribution to unsecured creditors or to the Company’sCompany's stockholders. Even if the parties complete the Asset Sale, the proceeds that may be provided under the APA, together with the Company’sCompany's other assets, may not be sufficient to pay, or provide for the payment of, all of the Company’sCompany's known and unknown liabilities and obligations. If the proceeds from the Asset Sale together with the Company’sCompany's other assets are insufficient to pay or provide for the payment of the Company’sCompany's liabilities and other obligations, it is likely that the Company could be required to file for, or be forced to resort to, bankruptcy protection. Further, if there are insufficient proceeds from the Asset Sale to pay or otherwise provide for the liabilities and obligations of the Company, there will be no assets available for distribution to the Company’sCompany's stockholders.
 
 
3621

 
Even if the Company’s stockholders approve the Asset Sale, the Asset Sale may not be completed.
EVEN IF THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS APPROVE THE ASSET SALE, THE ASSET SALE MAY NOT BE COMPLETED.

The completion of the Asset Sale is subject to numerous conditions (see section entitled “Principal"Principal Provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement”)Agreement" of the Proxy Statement), many of which are outside the control of Spectra, the Company and its subsidiaries. Even if stockholders of the Company holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Company stock vote to approve the Asset Sale, there can be no assurance that the Asset Sale will be completed. If it is not completed, the Company would likely not be able to sell the assets that would have been purchased by Spectra to another buyer on terms as favorable as those provided in the APA, or at all, which would mean that it is possible that the Company could be required to file for or be forced to resort to bankruptcy protection.
 
If the Seller does not receive consent fromIF THE SELLER DOES NOT RECEIVE CONSENT FROM OCS to assign its ScanSure products and services to Spectra, the Asset Sale may not be completed.TO ASSIGN ITS SCANSURE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO SPECTRA, THE ASSET SALE MAY NOT BE COMPLETED.
 
The ScanSure products and services, developed by the Seller with grant funding from the OCS, are assets intended to be acquired by Spectra under the APA.  As a condition to Closing, all ScanSure products must be transferred from the Seller to Spectra without any restrictions or limitations whatsoever.  To effectuate this transfer, Seller must obtain consent from the OCS, and must pay a fee to the OCS.  While the Company believes that the OCS will grant its consent to transfer the ScanSure assets to Seller, there can be no assurances that the OCS will do so, as the actions of the OCS are outside of the control of the Seller and Spectra.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE ASSET SALE COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.
Failure to complete the Asset Sale could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

If the Asset Sale is not completed, the Company’sCompany's stock price may decline due to any or all of the following potential consequences:

·the Seller may not be able to dispose of its assets for values equaling or exceeding those currently estimated; in particular, the assets that are the subject of the Asset Sale will likely be substantially diminished in value;
 
·the Company may file for, or be forced to resort to, bankruptcy; and

·the Company may have difficulty retaining its remaining personnel.
 
In addition, if the Asset Sale is not completed, the Company’sCompany's stock price may decline to the extent that the current market price of the Company’sCompany's common stock reflects a market assumption that such sale will be completed.
 
FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE ASSET SALE, THE COMPANY WILL NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSETS OR THE HUMAN RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE SERVICES OF CERTAIN KEY EMPLOYEES, NECESSARY TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER EXISTING AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTIES.
37

Following the completion of the Asset Sale, the Company will no longer have access to certain intellectual property assets or the human resources, including the services of certain key employees, necessary to fulfill its obligations under existing agreements with third parties.

Upon the completion of the Asset Sale, the Seller will have sold its rights, title and interest in substantially all of its intellectual property and operating assets, including those related to the development of ScanSure products and services.  Because of this, the Company may no longer be able to comply with its existing contractual obligations or commitments under certain agreements with third parties that are not to be transferred to Spectra in the Asset Sale.  In addition, the three remaining employees of the Company are “at will”"at will" and may terminate their employment status with the Company at any time or the Company may elect to terminate such employees (with or without entering into alternative arrangements to retain such individuals’individuals' services) after the closing of the Asset Sale in connection with the Company’sCompany's wind-down and settlement activities or other post-closing activities.  (For the avoidance of doubt, this does not include the transitional consulting services provided to Spectra by Tal Gilat under the Consulting Agreement.his consulting agreement with Spectra.) The loss of the services of any of the remaining employees of the Company could prevent the Company from effectively continuing its operations and fulfilling its contractual obligations with third parties under existing agreements or distributing APA proceeds to stockholders of the Company to the extent possible after satisfaction of liabilities and obligations to third parties.
 
The contingent payments under theTHE CONTINGENT PAYMENTS UNDER THE APA related to certain post-closing conditions may never be met by Spectra. Spectra has no diligence obligations under theRELATED TO CERTAIN POST-CLOSING CONDITIONS MAY NEVER BE MET BY SPECTRA. SPECTRA HAS NO DILIGENCE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE APA and, therefore, the determination of whether to pursue further development of the Seller’s existing business relationships is in Spectra’s sole discretion. As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that any contingent amounts will be paid to the Seller.AND, THEREFORE, THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TO PURSUE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE SELLER'S EXISTING BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS IS IN SPECTRA'S SOLE DISCRETION. AS A RESULT OF THE FOREGOING, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY CONTINGENT AMOUNTS WILL BE PAID TO THE SELLER.
 
The terms of the APA provide for the following conditional payments:
 
·$35,000 if and when orders placed by Holostik, a customer of the Company, with Spectra return to an average monthly level of $16,666.67 during any continuous period of six months after the closing date of the Asset Sale, or the Closing;
 
·$150,000 if and when (1) the Seller enters into an IP Purchase and Assignment Agreement and Supply Agreement with K-fee System GmbH, Swisstech 360 GmbH and Eugster/Frismag AG, (the “K-fee Agreement”)or the K-fee Agreement, and Spectra is properly assigned the Seller’sSeller's rights and assumes the Seller’sSeller's obligations under the K-fee Agreement, or (2) Spectra enters into a K-fee Agreement directly with any of the aforementioned counterparties at any time prior to December 31, 2013; and/or
 
22

·an amount equal to 50% of all collections of the accounts receivable received by Spectra after the Closing.
38


The APA does not impose any diligence requirements or contractual obligations on Spectra to achieve these conditions, and, as a result, the decision of how much effort to direct towards the Seller’sSeller's business endeavors, if any, will be determined by Spectra in its sole discretion. If Spectra does not pursue, or does not devote sufficient resources to, development of Seller’sSeller's business endeavors, these conditions will not be met and the Seller will not receive any of the contingent payments.
 
The Company’s stockholders may not receive any of the proceeds of the Asset Sale.
THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE ASSET SALE.
 
If the Asset Sale is consummated, the cash purchase price will be paid directly to the Company (other than $200,000 will be deposited into escrow with the Escrow Agent at Closing for up to twelve months to cover indemnification claims made by Spectra under the APA during such post-Closing period).  It is probable that none of the net proceeds of the purchase price will be received by the Company’sCompany's stockholders, unless the Board of Directors ultimately proposes a distribution to the stockholders.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to the historical or current facts, and can be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”, “believe”, “will”, “expect”, “expected”, “project”, “anticipate”, “anticipated,” estimates”, “plans”, “strategy”, “target”, “prospects” or “continue”. These forward looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management, such as those related to new products, and are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect our current plans and expectations, as well as future results of operations and financial condition. The factors discussed herein, including those risks described in Item 1A.

PROPOSALPART 2: ELECTIONI
ITEM 1.                 BUSINESS.
GENERAL

InkSure Technologies Inc., originally incorporated in the state of Nevada, but reincorporated in Delaware in 2003 (together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as the "Company", “we”, “us” and “our”) develops, markets and sells customized authentication solutions designed to enhance the security of documents and branded products, to meet the growing demand for protection from counterfeiting. In this context, “counterfeit items” are imitation items that are offered as genuine with the intent to deceive or defraud. We operate within the “authentication industry,” an industry that includes a variety of companies providing technologies and services designed to prevent the counterfeiting and diversion of documents and products.
Our existing products are based on three principal technologies:
·Unique chemical markers incorporated into security holograms.
·Customizable security inks that are suitable for almost every type of digital and impact printing on a wide variety of surfaces or substrates (e.g., paper documents, plastic identification cards, packaging materials and labels). Some chemical markers can also be incorporated into volume liquids such as fuel.
·Sophisticated “full-spectrum” readers that use proprietary software to quickly analyze marks inserted into the hologram or printed with our specialty inks.
Our security solutions are considered to be covert because our specialty inks are indistinguishable from standard non-security inks and are easily incorporated into variable and fully individualized data on holograms, documents, products, product labels, packaging, and designs.
Our uniquely formulated machine-readable taggant-based products provide a customized solution to counterfeiting by creating a unique chemical code for each product line or document batch that can only be authenticated by our readers. We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our existing products and solutions and introduce new commercially viable products and systems within our core business, addressing the demands of the evolving markets for brand, product and document protection. As part of the product development process, we intend to work with current and potential customers and leaders in certain industry segments to identify market needs and define appropriate product specifications.

We have sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which has resulted in a significant reduction in our cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, our operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 resulted in a net loss of $1,076 thousands and negative cash flows from operation activities of $1,297 thousands. We believe that we will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. We may experience difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company’s existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we are implementing cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.

In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result there is no certainty that it will continue to purchase our products at the same levels as before, or at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our operating expense levels are based on internal forecasts for future demand and not on firm customer orders for products or services. Our results may be affected by fluctuating demand for our products and services from one quarter to the next and by increases in the costs of components acquired from suppliers among other issues.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
There are a growing number of governments, companies, banks, organizations and other entities that recognize, acknowledge and are able to quantify or estimate the scope of their counterfeiting problem. These institutions are willing to invest in security solutions to combat them and are potential customers for our products and services. We believe that the number of entities willing to invest in security solutions will grow as the magnitude of the counterfeiting problem continues to grow. In addition, there has been an increase in regulatory and legislative efforts to countermand counterfeiting, such as legislation in the United States and the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration guidelines concerning the incorporation of counterfeit-resistant tools into the packaging of U.S. prescription drugs.
Once the end-user has decided to implement a security plan and introduce new security features or technology, there are various criteria by which the selected technology will be measured. We believe that our products provide a high level of security and flexibility, while remaining cost-effective.
TRADITIONAL AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGIES
Technologies used to authenticate and protect products and documents can be divided into two general categories: overt and covert. Overt technologies are visible to the naked eye and are typically used by the consumer to identify the product or document as genuine. Holograms, intricate graphic design and color changing inks are among the most common overt security features used in both products and documents.
Covert technologies are invisible and, historically, designed to be used by investigators, customs officials and other law enforcement agents to verify authenticity. There are numerous covert technologies currently in use in the market, including specialty substrates (e.g., papers with security fibers or magnetic threads) and in-product marking (e.g., tracers placed in fuels). However, one of the most frequently used features for product and document security is specialty ink for the obvious reason that ink is the main consumable for printing on documents, packaging and labels.
The rapid rise in counterfeiting and diversion, however, has led to the need for increasingly sophisticated security techniques for companies and organizations to mark and protect high-value products and documents. Accordingly, the market for countermeasures to counterfeiting and diversion is characterized by a constant inflow and introduction of new authentication techniques as a result of rapid technological progress. Complex new technologies that are difficult for counterfeiters to circumvent are in demand.
Typically, currency and high value documents incorporate more than one security feature (high denominations of U.S. currency have up to 20 security features). Brand owners are increasingly adopting this same strategy and are using several security features simultaneously to make reproducing the document or packaging increasingly difficult and costly for the counterfeiter. In addition, layered security features provide continued protection for products in the market even if one of the features is compromised.

INKSURE'S SOLUTIONS
We believe that our authentication technology can be distinguished from other authentication solutions, such as visible and invisible ultra-violet marks, fluorescent taggants, watermarks and fibers, optically variable inks, and holograms, currently offered by our competitors because our solutions offer a high level of security and flexibility while remaining cost-effective. Our technology is based upon multi-disciplinary technologies, including chemistry, spectroscopy, printing, electro-optics and software, customized for each customer. The following are key features of our solutions:
HIGH LEVEL OF SECURITY. Every security material offered by us has a unique “signature” that is comprised of a variety of components, including the amounts and the unique properties of the chemicals included in the material, the material type, the material color, the printing method and the substrate. Since the reader utilized by our solution reads a “full-spectrum” rather than sampling a specific point or points in a signature, a counterfeit item would have to replicate an entire unique signature - i.e., every variable upon which the signature depends - rather than merely replicating certain portions of the signature. In addition, because a coded taggant’s unique signature is comprised of various factors, with numerous possible permutations thereof, our taggants are extremely difficult to reverse engineer. We believe that holograms, color changing inks and other more common overt security features are more easily replicated than our products. In addition, to thwart any counterfeiting attempts that successfully replicated a unique signature, we could alter any of the variables that comprise a signature and create an entirely new unique signature without significant expense.
FLEXIBILITY. Our solution is highly flexible and is compatible with almost every standard hologram, coating, ink or toner. In addition, we believe that our specialty inks are suitable for printing on any type of surface or substrate for which digital and impact printing is suitable. Our readers are available either as hand-held devices designed for quick and accurate field inspection, or as a technology that can be integrated in existing terminals and readers (e.g., ATMs, magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) readers and access control systems) to allow automated identification and verification in mass quantities. According to the client’s security needs, several different coded inks can be incorporated in a single product or document and the corresponding reader can be programmed to authenticate and verify each of the different codes - and indicate which code was verified.
COST EFFECTIVE. Our technology provides a cost-effective solution to prevent counterfeiting and diversion because of our positive cost-performance ratio. In addition, because our readers are designed to detect even trace amounts of the specific chemical markers, our solutions provide a high level of security, including through the use of chemicals, such as tagging agents, at reasonable incremental costs to our customers.
MARKETING AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
 The potential anti-counterfeit market segments for our products can generally be divided into two major groups: documents (e.g., bank notes, checks, transportation and event tickets, pre-paid telephone cards, identification cards, and passports) and brand products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, automotive, tobacco, spirits and apparel). We believe that the most receptive market segment for our authentication applications - which comprise the middle and high-end of the security market - includes customers who have experienced significant problems with counterfeiting and have been unable to reduce or eliminate the effects of counterfeiting through the authentication solutions that are more easily circumvented than our solutions. In addition, we have targeted customers that need a covert security feature that is extremely difficult to reverse engineer.
More specifically, we have identified and targeted the following market segments:
·
TAX STAMPS. Government issued tax stamps and control marks for a variety of taxed items such as tobacco, wine, alcohol and export tax stamps offer opportunities for our authentication technology.
4

·
PACKAGING. We believe our product may facilitate brand protection through use in 1st level (on the product), 2nd level (on the packaging) and 3rd level (through the use of labels, stickers, etc.). We believe our products are suitable for a number of industries, including consumer goods (e.g., apparel, cosmetics, fragrances, tobacco and multi-media, including CDs and DVDs), pharmaceuticals, and industries that rely upon component parts (e.g., automotive, computer hardware).
·
TRANSPORTATION. Both national and local transportation authorities issue travel passes, season tickets and single-use tickets, all of which are subject to counterfeiting.
·
FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS. Historically checks and other financial documents have incorporated security features in the substrate or the pre-printed form, all in an effort to protect the fixed and variable data imprinted on the document. With our technology, both fixed and variable data can now be protected directly.
·
GOVERNMENT IDENTITY DOCUMENTS. We believe that our ability to mark inkjet ink and thermal transfer ribbons and therefore provide authentication capabilities to the variable data on government identity documents such as passports, visas, driver’s licenses, ID cards, birth certificates, and motor vehicle registrations is unique. We view these market segments as requiring a long-term marketing and selling process given the typical government bid process and cycles for initiating new features, as well as government cost constraints.
·
RETAIL VOUCHERS AND GIFT CERTIFICATES. Retail establishments currently use printed vouchers, gift cards and gift certificates for increased sales. Certificates of authenticity, which are printed documents that accompany a wide variety of retail goods ranging from software products to luxury goods are also an area of opportunity.
We have focused the bulk of our efforts to date on market segments where we have already achieved market penetration in actual sales and where we believe sales potential is highest - tax stamps, packaging, financial documents, entertainment (i.e., ticketing) and transportation. As a result of this focused strategy, we have increased awareness of our products in these segments, established a presence in targeted markets throughout the world, and formed strategic alliances with companies that provide access to specific markets.
SALES AND MARKETING
Initially, we relied solely on intermediaries to market and distribute our products and services. However, we currently sell our products and services through a combination of our own sales personnel, strategic alliances and licenses with intermediaries.
Although we intend to continue marketing our products and services through licensees and strategic alliances, we believe that expanding our customer base through our direct sales personnel and maintaining a direct relationship with the end-user are necessary elements to achieve deep market penetration.

CURRENT PRODUCTS
InkSure has created solution packages designed to meet various market needs. These packages rely primarily on our core technology, best described as “line of sight authentication” (i.e., electro-optical detection and analysis of organic and inorganic materials). The micro-processing unit within the readers uses proprietary algorithms to authenticate genuine taggants, as well as differentiate between various taggants.
5

For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 84% of our revenues were earned from sales of our tagsure codes, while the remaining 16% of our revenues were earned from sales of our various readers.
We have designed several generic readers that provide different levels of security for the various target applications. For specific projects, due to the flexibility upon which the technology is built, we customize the generic readers to fit customer needs according to size and speed. Our current line of products, which support our customizable solutions, include the following:
·
TAGSURE ä — MACHINE READABLE AUTHENTICATION CODES FOR ADVANCED SECURITY
Our TagSure (previously known as "SmartInk") codes are secure optical codes used in inks and coatings that provide authentication solutions ranging from a definitive “yes/no” verification to multi-functional systems that allow item identification, “Track & Trace” functionality (which involves a process of determining the current and past locations and other information of the marked item), real-time encoding and debiting applications. TagSure codes are created by mixing special chemical markers (taggants) into commercial inks, coatings and other media, and applying them, using any standard printing process or coating process. The chemical markers used for marking volume liquid are incorporated directly into the liquid via a carrier. All TagSure marker/carrier mixtures are allocated with covert signatures that, while being completely invisible and protected from reverse-engineering attempts, are easily detected by our line of readers.
·
SIGNASURE ä — ADVANCED AUTHENTICATION READER
Our SignaSure reader features advanced technology for fast, on-the-spot authentication of sensitive documents and branded products. The SignaSure readers are equipped with technology to provide users with high security, exceptional functionality and cost effective solutions. The readers utilize proprietary algorithms and unique electro-optical techniques to authenticate covert TagSure codes, which are created by mixing special chemical markers (taggants) into commercial inks, coatings and other media, and applying them, using standard printing processes, onto documents, tickets, product packaging and labels. SignaSure can store up to ten codes in the memory and can be programed to pair specific TagSure makers with identifying names.
·  CARSURE ™ — ADVANCED AUTHENTICATION READER
Our CarSure reader is equipped with the capability to read taggants and by extension documents through a car windshield. The CarSure readers provide users with high security, exceptional functionality and cost effective solutions. The readers utilize proprietary algorithms and unique electro-optical techniques to authenticate covert TagSure codes. CarSure is intended for use by government regulators and law enforcement bodies.
·
POCKETSURE ä — PEN-SIZED AUTHENTICATION READER
Our PocketSure reader represents an important addition to our highly regarded SignaSure reader line. PocketSure combines handheld, machine-readable detection with forensic-level analysis. At 5.5 inches in length and weighing a mere 2.5 ounces, PocketSure includes single-code memory, audio and visual indicators, and the ability to operate on standard AAA batteries. PocketSure offers a significant benefit for warehouses, return centers, law enforcement agencies and retail organizations seeking to optimize their anti-counterfeiting and “reverse logistics” measures. Its simple-to-read LED, one-button operation, with replaceable batteries also makes it easier to train a larger number of personnel. Our PocketSure and SignaSure can be combined to create multi-level security programs in which a primary level of inspectors employs PocketSure for detection of a base covert code while a secondary level of security specialists employs SignaSure in the field to detect a more complex forensic-level code.
6

·
MULTISURE ä — PEN-SIZED AUTHENTICATION READER
MultiSure looks and feels very similar to our PocketSure reader but is much more powerful and offers greater functionality. MultiSure can store up to five codes in its memory, has an LED display to let the end-user know which code they are reading and allows end-users the ability to authenticate multiple groups of products with one reader. Our MultiSure can be combined to create multi-level security programs wherein a primary level of inspectors employs MultiSure for detection of a base covert code while a secondary level of security specialists employs SignaSure in the field to obtain a higher level of information.
·FUELSURE ™    —    AUTHENTICATION OF VOLUME LIQUID
FuelSure is a portable reader that provides authentication of fuel and other volume liquids from samples. FuelSure reads chemical markers incorporated directly into fuel and identifies if the liquid is counterfeit or has been tampered with. The readers utilize proprietary algorithms and unique electro-optical techniques to authenticate covert TagSure codes FuelSure can store up to ten codes in the memory.
·SCANSURE ™    —    AUTHENTICATION AND TRACK & TRACE READER
InkSure's most sophisticated reader, ScanSure, is a portable reader which preforms authentication as well as trace & trace functions. The reader incorporates not only InkSure's traditional spectral technology, but also relies on imaging and database technology to authenticate holograms and barcodes marked with TagSure codes. The reader is designed to scan a barcode and identify if the item is counterfeit, diverted, produced in excess of actual orders, or illegitimate. The reader is synchronized with the database of the organization using the reader for authentication.
·
SORTSURE ä — IN-LINE VERIFICATION FOR HIGH-SPEED PROCESSING, QUALITY CONTROL AND AUDIT FUNCTIONS
Our SortSure readers provide high-speed authentication and quality control for automated systems handling high volumes of products. The embedded original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) kits enable seamless integration with existing equipment, whether backroom processing units, printing presses or inspection systems in distribution/return centers. One model incorporates a mechanized traversing arm for real-time quality control readings over web-based printing presses.
·
SMARTSURE ä — SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION APPLICATION
SmartSure is a mobile phone application that provides authentication of holograms via commercially available smartphones. Like InkSure's dedicated readers, SmartSure identifies the presence of TagSure codes in a substrate. The electro-optical techniques used by SmartSure are similar but not exactly the same as the ones used by InkSure's dedicated readers. The target audience of SmartSure is wider than for our other products with potential users being inspection teams, as well as employees of brand owners and even end-users, the people who use and consume the items being protected.
·CLOUD-BASED TRACK & TRACE — SAAS TRACK & TRACE SOLUTION
InkSure's track & trace solution tracks the movement of goods throughout the supply chain and will recognize if an item is in the wrong place or if unauthorized items are being sold. In addition, InkSure's track & trace solution will record and collect information on the authenticity of items using our electro-optical techniques. The track & trace solution is designed to be used in conjunction with ScanSure and SmartSure.
All models utilize proprietary technology and unique electro-optical techniques to measure and/or authenticate covert TagSure codes.

COMPETITION
We are aware of other technologies, both covert and overt surface marking techniques, requiring decoding implements or analytical methods to reveal relevant information. These technologies are offered by other companies for the same anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion purposes for which we market our products. Our competitors, many of whom have greater financial resources than us, include:
·Technology providers that typically offer a specific range of security solutions;
·Systems integrators, which have often evolved from other sectors in the printing industry, mainly security print manufacturers, technology providers or packaging and label manufacturers. These companies offer a wide range of security solutions, enabling them to offer a complete suite tailored to the customer’s specific needs; and
·Other producers of covert authentication solutions including other taggant producers and DNA technology companies.
Competition in our markets is based upon price, service, quality, reliability and the ability to offer secure transaction products and services with the flexibility to meet a customer’s particular needs. We believe our technology provides a unique and cost-effective solution that has certain common competitive advantages over other technologies. However, even technologies that are not as secure or reliable as our products are competitive if they are marketed effectively and may also compete on the basis of other criteria, such as price.
Strong competitive pricing pressures exist, particularly with respect to products whose customers seek to obtain volume discounts and economies of scale. In addition, alternative goods or services, such as those involving electronic commerce, could replace printed documents and thereby also adversely affect demand for our products. There has also been a new movement in many industries toward the use of visible two dimensional barcodes for authentication and for electronic pedigree, in anticipation of state and federal electronic pedigree requirements for pharmaceuticals. These will require the ability to trace products through the supply chain. As a result, a larger amount of data has to be encoded into the product. Regarding covert machine-readable authentication, we believe there are competitors who are lower priced, but whose technology is not as robust as ours. In the area of brand protection, we believe that none of these competitors has achieved a significant market position. However, in the area of public/financial documents (including tax stamps and bank notes), one of our competitors has achieved a leading market position due to its long history of sales of security inks for government applications, which has produced a major network of governmental contacts. This competitor also has the advantage of prior success in winning publicly bid tax stamp projects, which it uses for referential value in new projects.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The technology and know-how upon which our products are based are subject to continued development of materials and processes to meet the demands of new applications and increased competition. We conduct most of our research and development activities through our subsidiary, InkSure Ltd. Our research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $408 thousands compared with $444 thousands for the year ended December 31, 2011. Since discontinuing the research and development on our Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, product in November 2010, we have focused all of our research and development on our core business products. Our RFID discontinued operations research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $53 thousands compared with non-expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012.
8

We pursue a process-oriented strategy which includes efforts aimed at developing new or enhanced classes of products and services. As a part of this strategy, we work with potential customers and other members of the industry to identify market needs and define appropriate product specifications.
RAW MATERIALS AND PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS
The principal raw materials used by us for the manufacturing of our specialty inks include trace amounts of various chemicals and inks suitable for various printing methods. We believe that there are many sources for both these chemicals and the printing inks, which we currently purchase from certain major global suppliers. Some of these chemicals, however, are considered rare, with high prices of $9 thousands per kilogram for certain chemicals. We do not believe that we will have difficulty in continuing to procure these chemicals and printing inks given the number of suppliers from whom they can be procured, including, without limitation, suppliers located in the United States, Europe, China and Japan. We currently subcontract the manufacturing of our specialty inks to various ink suppliers, who incorporate chemicals provided by us into the inks. To maintain the integrity and security of our specialty inks, we do not disclose the precise chemical ingredients to these ink suppliers.
The principal raw materials used by us for the manufacturing of our readers include electronic components, optic components, plastics and other raw materials. We believe that these materials are in good supply and are available from multiple sources. We currently utilize subcontractors for the manufacturing of our readers.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, revenues from customers in Europe and in North America amounted to approximately 8% and 34%, respectively, versus 57% and 24% respectively for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Customers in Asia accounted for approximately 58% of our 2012 revenues versus 19% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Included in such revenues are sales to one customer which represented 1% of our total 2012 revenues versus 50% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result there is no certainty that it will continue to purchase our products at the same levels as before, or at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, one of our customers, which accounted for 5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, accounted for 29% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, revenues attributed to geographic areas based on the location of our customers were:

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Although our policy is to file patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business, and although we will continue to seek the supplemental protection afforded by patents, we generally consider protection of our products, processes and materials to be more dependent upon proprietary knowledge, know-how and rapid assimilation of innovations than patent protection.
With respect to the RFID technology, which we continued to develop until November 2010, we have filed five patent families related to various aspects of the RFID technology. Five of our patent families have already matured into patents granted in the United States (US 6,819,244; US 6,997,388; US 6,922,146; US 7,969,281; US 8,167,212). Due to the decrease in our operations, the Company will not continue to protect its portfolio of SARCode intellectual property.
Our patent position is uncertain and may involve complex legal and factual issues. Consequently, we do not know whether our pending patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents, or whether the patents, if issued, will provide significant proprietary protection or will not be circumvented or invalidated. Since patent applications are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued, and since publications of discoveries in scientific or patent literature tend to lag behind actual discoveries by several months, we cannot be certain that we were the first creator of inventions covered by pending patent applications or that we were the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Moreover, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other patent offices to determine the priority of inventions, which could result in substantial cost to us. For further information regarding our proprietary technology, please see to Item 3 “Legal Proceedings”.

We require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of any employment or consulting relationship with us. Each agreement provides that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the relationship will be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by an individual during the employment period will be our exclusive property, other than inventions unrelated to our business and developed entirely on the employee’s own time. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide adequate protection or remedies for misappropriation of our trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information or that an independent third party will not develop functionally equivalent technology.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Our scanning devices may be required by customers or any other third parties to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, which may require certification, verification or registration of the equipment with the FCC. Certification and verification of new equipment may require testing to ensure the equipment’s compliance with the FCC’s rules. Further testing or new or enhanced regulation may extend the period of product development and commercialization and increase the associated costs. In addition, the equipment must be labeled according to the FCC’s rules to show compliance with these rules. Electronic equipment permitted or authorized to be used by the FCC through our certification or verification procedures must not cause harmful interference to licensed FCC users, and it is subject to radio frequency interference from licensed FCC users. Our common pocket readers are FCC certified.
Our scanning devices may be required by customers or any other third parties to comply with the regulations of our customer’s respective countries, which may require certification, verification or registration of the equipment with the customer’s respective authorities. Certification and verification of new equipment may require testing to ensure the equipment’s compliance with the local government regulations. Further testing or new or enhanced regulations may extend the period of product development and commercialization and increase the associated costs.
10

Our specialty inks include various chemicals, some of which may be hazardous substances and subject to various government regulations relating to our transfer, handling, packaging, use, and disposal. To the extent future laws and regulations are adopted or interpretations of existing laws and regulations change, new requirements may be imposed on our future activities or may create liability retroactively.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Our business is not materially affected by compliance with existing and pending, local, state, regional, federal or international legal requirements and agreements related to climate change.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2012, we had 8 full-time employees, all located in Israel. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.
The employees of our wholly owned subsidiary InkSure Ltd. are entitled to “Dmey Havra’a” as provided in a Collective Bargaining Agreement to which the General Labor Union of the Workers in Israel is a party. Dmey Havra’a is an employee benefit program whereby employees receive payments from their employer for vacation. In addition, InkSure Ltd. pays a monthly amount equal to 14.28% of the salary of each employee to an insurance policy, pension fund or combination of both, according to the request of such employee. Each employee pays a monthly amount to such insurance policy equal to 5% of such employee’s salary. InkSure Ltd. pays a monthly amount up to 7.5% of each employee’s salary to an educational fund in the name of such employee. Each employee pays a monthly amount to such fund equal to 2.5% of such employee’s salary. InkSure Ltd. makes cars available to some employees for their exclusive use. InkSure Ltd. pays all costs associated with these cars, whether fixed or variable, including without limitation, fuel, repairs and insurance.

RISK FACTORS
THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, COULD AFFECT OUR ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE BY US. THOSE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS AND WE ASSUME NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE THAT INFORMATION. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY ANY OF THESE RISKS. OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED SPECULATIVE AND THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE DUE TO ANY OF THESE RISKS, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT. THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS ARE NOT THE ONLY RISK FACTORS FACING US. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN FINANCING NECESSARY TO SUPPORT OUR OPERATIONS, OUR CASH RESOURCES MIGHT BE REDUCED TO A LEVEL THAT WILL NOT ENABLE US TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS AND WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

Because of the reduced levels of orders from our largest customers and our expectation that our revenues from these customers will continue to remain depressed or decline further, we believe that our existing cash resources, together with cash to be collected from customers, will no longer be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months. Continuing product development and enhancement, expected new product launches, corporate operations and marketing expenses will continue to require additional capital and our current cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover our business plans.  In order to have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated requirements for the next twelve months, we will be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to obtain required additional funds will require us to curtail our operations. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operation, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders will lose their entire investment in our company.
In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs. Our Management has also tightened its cost control, but increased the marketing of our current and new products.
We are experiencing difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution.
As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

SINCE INCEPTION, WE HAVE HAD OPERATING LOSSES AND WE DO NOT EXPECT TO BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.

We have sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which have resulted in a significant reduction in our cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, our operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 resulted in a net loss of $1,076 thousands and negative cash flows from operation activities of $1,297 thousands. We believe that we will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. We may experience difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company’s existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we are implementing cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.

In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result there is no certainty that it will continue to purchase our products at the same levels as before, or at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our operating expense levels are based on internal forecasts for future demand and not on firm customer orders for products or services. Our results may be affected by fluctuating demand for our products and services from one quarter to the next and by increases in the costs of components acquired from suppliers among other issues.
SINCE INCEPTION, WE HAVE HAD NEGATIVE CASH FLOWS.
We have incurred substantial negative cash flows since our inception. In 2012 our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $796 thousands, from $1,392 thousands in 2011. To the extent that we may have negative cash flows in the future, we will continue to require additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that we will achieve positive cash flow from our operations or that we can secure additional capital.
IF OUR PRODUCT OFFERINGS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THE MARKET, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
We generate all of our revenue from sales of products relating to the “authentication industry.” The market for providing these products and services is highly competitive and is affected by the introduction of new products and services that compete with the products and services offered by us. Demand for these products and services will be affected by numerous factors outside our control, including, among others, market acceptance by prospective customers, the introduction of new or superior competing technologies or products and services that are available on more favorable pricing terms than those being offered by us, and the general condition of the economy. Our products have not yet achieved any significant market penetration. Market acceptance for our products and services may not develop in a timely manner or may not be sustainable. New or increased competition may result in market saturation, more competitive pricing, and lower margins. Our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected if the market for our products and services fails to grow, grows more slowly than anticipated, or becomes more competitive or if targeted customers do not accept our products and services and we experience a corresponding reduction in revenues, a higher loss and a failure to generate substantial revenues in the future. In addition, we may enter into several agreements pursuant to which we may grant third parties broad, exclusive rights to distribute and sell certain aspects of our technology, subject to customary provisions governing confidentiality and nondisclosure. Failure of these third parties to effectively market products and services based upon our technology will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition due to the lack of revenues expected to be generated from such agreements.

WE ARE FOCUSING ON OUR NEW SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT, THE SMARTSUREä. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DEVELOP OR COMMERCIALIZE THE SMARTSUREä OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT THAT WE MAY PURSUE IN THE FUTURE, OR EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS OR UNANTICIPATED COSTS IN DOING SO, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE MATERIALLY HARMED.
We are focusing on development of a new authentication of holograms via a commercially available smartphones product. We may spend significant amounts on attempting to develop the product and there is no assurance that such product will be successfully developed or, if developed, that we will be able to commercialize this product. As with many efforts at new product development, we are experiencing significant delays and incurring significant unanticipated expenses. Accordingly, we may spend significant time, management resources and money on the smartphone application with no material results. Even if we successfully develop our authentication of holograms via commercially available smart phones technology, we may be unable to successfully market our SmartSure products.
OUR SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION APPLICATION MUST MEET EXACTING TECHNICAL AND QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS. DEFECTS, ERRORS IN OR INTEROPERABILITY ISSUES WITH OUR PRODUCTS OR THE FAILURE OF OUR PRODUCTS TO OPERATE AS EXPECTED COULD AFFECT OUR REPUTATION, RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO US AND IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS.
Our SmartSure authentication application may not operate as expected or may contain defects or errors, which could materially and adversely affect our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our products in the future. Our customers have demanding specifications for quality, performance and reliability that our SmartSure authentication application must meet. Our products are highly technical and designed to be deployed in large and complex data networks and other settings under a wide variety of conditions. Customers may discover errors, defects, or incompatibilities in our products only after they have been fully deployed and are operating under peak stress conditions. In addition, users of our SmartSure authentication application may experience compatibility or interoperability issues between our products and their enterprise software systems or networks, or between our products and other products they use.
The costs incurred in correcting any product defects or errors may be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results. While we test our products for defects or errors prior to product release, defects or errors may be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our customers. To the extent product failures are material, they could adversely affect our business, operating results, customer relationships, reputation and prospects.
OUR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT FOR NEW PRODUCTS MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL.
We incur significant research and development expenses to develop new products and technologies in an effort to maintain our competitive position in a market characterized by rapid rates of technological advancement. Our research and development efforts are subject to unanticipated delays, expenses and technical problems. There can be no assurance that any of these products or technologies will be successfully developed or that, if developed, will be commercially successful. For example, in November 2010, we discontinued the development of our RFID product and related technologies, after investing in research and development efforts for approximately 5 years and approximately $5 million (net of government grants), because we wanted to focus on our core technology and cash limitations. In the event that we are unable to develop commercialized products from our research and development efforts or we are unable or unwilling to allocate amounts beyond our currently anticipated research and development investment, we could lose our entire investment in these new products and technologies. Any failure to translate research and development expenditures into successful new product introductions could have an adverse effect on our business.
14

WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS FOR MOST OF OUR REVENUES; THE LOSS OF A MAJOR CUSTOMER HAS ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract, and as a result there is no certainty that it will continue to purchase our products at the same levels as before, or at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, one of our customers, which accounted for 5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, accounted for 29% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 1% of our revenues were earned from our previously largest customer, compared with 50% in the year ended December 31, 2011, while approximately 28% and 5% of our revenues were earned from the other two large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 13% and 16%, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease in our revenues from this customer, combined with decreased revenues from the two other large customers noted above, totaling 34% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 79%, in the year ended December 31, 2011, was the main reason for the decrease in our total revenues.
MOST OF OUR SALES ARE TO INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS; COMPLICATIONS IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Sales to customers outside of the United States accounted for 66% and 76% of our revenues during 2012 and 2011, respectively. We are seeking to continue to expand our sales in foreign markets, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so or that such markets will be viable. Moreover, a large percentage of our sales is derived from countries in which the political situation is unstable. To the extent that a large percentage of our sales continues to come from customers outside of the United States, we will continue to be subject to the risks associated with international sales, including economic and political instability, shipping delays, customs duties, export quotas and other trade restrictions, any of which could have a significant impact on our ability to deliver products on a competitive and timely basis. While we have not encountered significant difficulties in connection with sales in international markets to date, future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of custom duties, export quotas or other trade restrictions could have an adverse effect on our business.
WE HAVE GRANTED EXCLUSIVITY RIGHTS TO CERTAIN CUSTOMERS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FUTURE DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS.
We have granted to certain customers the exclusive right to use our products within such customer’s country of origin for so long as such customer’s orders from us reach a certain level. Although this grant of exclusivity is limited to customers’ countries of origin, it is of indefinite term and may have an adverse effect on our ability to enter into agreements with other potential customers that may have broad regional operations.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE FURTHER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GRANTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL
During 2007 and through the end of 2010, we received a research and development grant of approximately $1,905 thousands from Israel’s Office of the Chief Scientist (at the Ministry of Industry and Trade), or the OCS. Of this amount, a total of $1,805 thousands were received in connection with the research and development of our RFID product, which we discontinued in November 2010.
Due to the decrease in our operations, the Company reduced its research and development activities and did not file for new research and development grants. Accordingly, there is no assurance that further grants may be available to us in the future.
WE HAVE A LONG AND VARIABLE SALES CYCLE WHICH CAN RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR REVENUE FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER.
The sales cycle of our products, which is the period of time between the identification of a potential customer and completion of the sale, is typically long and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little control. As our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, a small fluctuation in the timing of sales can cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly from period to period. If revenue falls significantly below anticipated levels, our business would be seriously harmed. Investors can also anticipate uneven revenue and operating results, which may be reflected in a volatile market price for our stock.
15

WE FACE POTENTIAL LIABILITY DUE TO PRODUCT DEFECTS AND MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES IN DEFENDING LAWSUITS OVER ANY SUCH DEFECTS.
Authentication products as complex as those offered by us may contain undetected errors or defects when first introduced or as new versions are released. Despite testing by us and by current and potential customers, errors may be found in new authentication products after commencement of commercial shipments resulting in product recalls and market rejection of our authentication products and resulting in damage to our reputation, as well as lost revenue, diverted development resources and increased support costs. In addition, our products liability insurance, if any, may be insufficient to cover claims-related errors or defects in our authentication products.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN THE AUTHENTICATION MARKET.
Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. We regard protection of our proprietary rights as critical to our success, and rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. Due to our reliance on our proprietary technology, our inability to protect our proprietary rights adequately would have a material adverse effect on us.
We are also seeking protection under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. We have several patents granted and pending and may file for additional patents as we determine appropriate. A patent may not be issued with respect to any patent application filed by us or the scope of any claims granted in any patent may not provide meaningful proprietary protection or a competitive advantage to us. The validity or enforceability of patents which may be issued or licensed to us may be challenged by others and, if challenged, may not be upheld by a court. In addition, competitors may be able to circumvent any patents that may be issued or licensed to us.
We generally have entered into agreements containing confidentiality and nondisclosure provisions with our employees and consultants and limit access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary information. However, the steps taken by us may not prevent misappropriation of our technology and agreements entered into for that purpose may not be enforceable.
Notwithstanding the precautions taken by us, a third party may be able to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization or to develop similar technology independently. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult. The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of our intellectual property. Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products and services are made available. In the future, we may also need to file lawsuits to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets, and determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition due to the substantial costs and diversion of resources.
WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP PACE WITH NEW PRODUCTS AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN ORDER TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKETPLACE.
If we are able to sufficiently penetrate the market with our products and services, our future success will depend upon our ability to keep pace with technological developments and respond to evolving customer demands. Failure to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments or significant delays in product development could damage our potential position in the marketplace and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. With our current limited financial and technical resources, we may not be able to develop or market new products, services or enhancements to our existing product and service offerings. It is possible that we could experience significant delays in these endeavors. Any failure to successfully develop and market products and services and product and service enhancements could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
16

WE FACE COMPETITION AND PRICING PRESSURES FROM LARGER, WELL FINANCED AND MORE RECOGNIZED COMPANIES AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE WITH SUCH COMPANIES.
The market for our products and services is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have far greater financial, human, and other resources. Barriers to entry in our business are relatively insubstantial and companies with substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing and human resources, as well as those with far greater name recognition than us, may also attempt to enter the market. We believe that our ability to compete depends on our technology and price, as well as on our distribution channels and the quality of products and services. If we do not successfully compete, we will not generate significant revenues or profits. Visible barcodes in particular are considered an authentication technology, and are essentially free.
Lack of financial, personnel and other resources has adversely affected our ability to compete. In 2012 we only had two dedicated sales people. Latin America, Africa and much of Asia are effectively lacking proper sales coverage. The audience that can be reached through print ads, direct mail and e-mail, trade shows, conferences and trade group memberships is limited by our limited marketing resources.
WE DEPEND ON THIRD PARTIES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPLIES, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
With regard to our products, we are dependent in part on the availability of equipment, supplies and services provided by independent third parties. Currently we use a limited number of suppliers in order to take advantage of volume discounts. If one of our suppliers were unable to meet our supply demands and we could not quickly replace the source of supply, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition for several reasons, including a delay of receipt of revenues and damage to our business reputation. Certain taggants we use in the production of our inks are rare. If these are not available, production may be delayed which could result in lost sales or additional costs.
WE DEPEND ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
Our success depends to a large degree upon the skills of our senior management team and current key employees. We may be unable to retain our existing key personnel or attract and retain additional key personnel. We do not maintain key person life insurance for any of our officers or key employees. We require our executives and key employees to enter non-competition agreements with us. Due to our reliance on our senior management and key employees, the loss of any of our key executives, the use of proprietary or trade secret data by former employees who compete with us, or the failure to attract, integrate, motivate, and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
OUR SPECIALTY INKS INCLUDE VARIOUS CHEMICALS AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, FOR WHICH WE COULD INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES FOR PROBLEMS RELATING TO THEIR SHIPPING AND STORAGE.
Our operations are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Our specialty inks include various chemicals, some of which may be hazardous substances and subject to various government regulations relating to their transfer, handling, packaging, use, and disposal. From time to time, we may store these chemicals or inks at our facilities in the United States and Israel or at our subcontracted manufacturer’s facilities, and a shipping company ships them at our direction. We could face liability for problems that may arise when we store or ship these inks or chemical components. To the extent future laws and regulations are adopted or interpretations of existing laws and regulations change, new requirements may be imposed on our future activities or may create liability retroactively. Failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations could subject us to monetary damages and injunctive action, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
17

CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL AFFECT THE OPERATIONS OF OUR SUBSIDIARY IN ISRAEL AND MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
InkSure Ltd., our principal operating subsidiary, is incorporated under Israeli law and its principal office, manufacturing facility and research and development facility are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic, security and military conditions in the Middle East in general, and in Israel in particular, directly affect InkSure Ltd.’s operations. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Despite negotiations to effect peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, the future of these peace efforts is uncertain. In recent years there have been extensive hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon and with Hamas, which effectively took control of the Gaza Strip.
Since early 2011, riots and popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East, some of which have common borders with Israel, have led to severe political instability in those countries. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and these countries.  In addition, this instability may affect the global economy and marketplace. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region, including acts of terrorism or any other hostilities involving or threatening Israel, would likely negatively affect business conditions and could make it more difficult for us to conduct our operations in Israel, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our financial results. Furthermore, several countries still restrict trade with Israeli companies, which limit our ability to make sales to, or purchase components from, those countries. Any future armed conflict, political instability, continued violence in the region or restrictions could limit our ability to operate our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
OUR OPERATIONS COULD BE DISRUPTED AS A RESULT OF THE OBLIGATION OF MANAGEMENT OR KEY PERSONNEL OF INKSURE LTD. TO PERFORM MILITARY SERVICE.
Generally, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 45 are, unless exempt, obligated to perform up to 36 days of military reserve duty annually. Additionally, all Israeli residents of this age are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of the officers and employees of InkSure Ltd. are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence for a significant period of one or more of InkSure Ltd.’s officers or key employees due to military service. Any such disruption could limit our ability to operate our business and could affect our business, results and financial condition.
UNDER CURRENT ISRAELI LAW, INKSURE LTD. MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL.
InkSure Ltd. has non-competition agreements with all of its employees. These agreements prohibit its employees, if they cease working for InkSure Ltd., from directly competing with it or working for its competitors, generally, for up to twelve months. However, we have been advised by Israeli counsel, that Israeli courts are reluctant to enforce non-compete undertakings of former employees. In specific cases, our competitive position could be greatly harmed if we could not enforce these agreements.
FLUCTUATIONS IN THE EXCHANGE RATE BETWEEN THE U.S. DOLLAR AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS.
We incur expenses for our operations in Israel in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and translate these amounts into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting consolidated results. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations as well as the value of our assets and liabilities. Fluctuations may adversely affect the comparability of period-to-period results. In addition, we hold foreign currency balances, primarily British Pounds, Euros and NIS, that will create foreign exchange gains or losses, depending upon the relative values of the foreign currency at the beginning and end of the reporting period, affecting our net income and earnings per share. Although we may use hedging techniques in the future (which we currently do not use), we may not be able to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price.
18

WE ARE EXPOSED TO SPECIAL RISKS IN FOREIGN MARKETS WHICH MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO CONVERT LOCAL CURRENCY INTO U.S. DOLLARS AND THEREBY FORCE US TO CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
In conducting our business in foreign countries, we are subject to political, economic, legal, operational and other risks that are inherent in operating in other countries. These risks range from difficulties in settling transactions in emerging markets to possible nationalization, expropriation, price controls and other restrictive governmental actions. We also face the risk that exchange controls or similar restrictions imposed by foreign governmental authorities may restrict our ability to convert local currency received or held by it in their countries into U.S. dollars or other currencies, or to take those dollars or other currencies out of those countries.
UNDER ISRAELI LAW, OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY FACE DIFFICULTIES IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST OUR SUBSIDIARY INKSURE LTD., ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS.
InkSure Ltd. is incorporated under Israeli law and its principal office, manufacturing facility and research and development facility are located in Israel. Certain of the directors and InkSure Ltd.’s professional advisors are residents of Israel or otherwise reside outside of the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are or may be located outside of the United States. It may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon InkSure Ltd. or upon any such directors or professional advisors or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States’ courts predicated upon civil liability of InkSure Ltd. or such persons under United States federal securities laws. InkSure Ltd. has been advised by Israeli counsel, that Israeli courts may not (1) enforce judgments of United States’ courts obtained against InkSure Ltd. or such directors or professional advisors predicated solely upon the civil liabilities provisions of United States’ federal securities laws, or (2) impose liabilities in original actions against InkSure Ltd. or such directors and professional advisors predicated solely upon such United States’ laws. However, subject to certain time limitations, Israeli courts will enforce foreign (including United States) final judgments for liquidated amounts in civil matters, obtained after due trial before a court of competent jurisdiction which recognizes similar Israeli judgments, provided that (1) due process has been observed, (2) such judgments or the execution thereof are not contrary to Israeli law, public policy, security or sovereignty, (3) such judgments were not obtained by fraud and do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties and (4) an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the law suit is instituted in the foreign court.

WE HAVE A STOCKHOLDER THAT MAY BE ABLE TO EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER US AND ALL MATTERS SUBMITTED TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS WHICH MAY MAKE US DIFFICULT TO BE ACQUIRED AND LESS ATTRACTIVE TO NEW INVESTORS.
ICTS International, N.V. and its affiliates, or ICTS, beneficially own, 9,915,555 shares of our common stock, representing, as of December 31, 2012, approximately 22.97% of our outstanding common stock. Such ownership interest provides ICTS and its affiliates with substantial influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders, including the election of directors and the adoption of a merger agreement, and such influence could make us a less attractive acquisition or investment target. To date ICTS has not exercised any such influence in a way that would materially or adverse affect the Company.
OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION CONTAINS ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VOTING POWER OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a new series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. Such authority, together with certain provisions of Delaware law and of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us, may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium over the market price and may adversely affect the market price, and the voting and other rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of our preferred stock, we may do so in the future. The board of directors of a Delaware corporation may issue rights, options, warrants or other convertible securities, or rights entitling its holders to purchase, receive or acquire shares or fractions of shares of the corporation or assets or debts or other obligations of the corporation, upon such terms as are determined by the board of directors. Our board of directors is free, subject to their fiduciary duties to stockholders, to structure the issuance or exercise of the rights in a manner which may exclude significant stockholders from being entitled to receive such rights or to exercise such rights or in a way which may effectively prevent a takeover of the corporation by persons deemed hostile to management. Nothing contained in our certificate of incorporation will prohibit our board of directors from using these types of rights in this manner.
19

WE HAVE NEVER PAID COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS AND ARE UNLIKELY TO DO SO FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have never paid cash or other dividends on our common stock. It is our intention to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and therefore, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Investors seeking dividend income should not invest in our common stock.
THE TRADING OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS ILLIQUID AND VOLATILE WHICH MAY PREVENT STOCKHOLDERS FROM SELLING THEIR STOCKS AT THE TIME OR PRICE THEY DESIRE.
Our common stock is traded on the over-the-counter market with quotations published on the OTC Bulletin Board, or OTCBB, under the symbol “INKS”. The trading volume of our common stock historically has been limited and sporadic, and the stock prices have been volatile. For example, during the twelve months prior to December, 31, 2012, our common stock traded at prices ranging from $0.03 to $0.38. As a result of the limited and sporadic trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the over-the-counter market is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its fair market value. The price at which our common stock will trade in the future may be highly volatile and may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, quarterly variations in our operating results (which have historically been, and we expect to continue to be, substantial) and actual or anticipated announcements of new products or services by us, other business partners, or competitors as well as the number of shares available for sale in the market.
“PENNY STOCK” RULES MAY RESTRICT THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAY AFFECT OUR STOCKHOLDERS’ ABILITY TO SELL THEIR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.
Our common stock is subject to rules promulgated by the SEC, relating to “penny stocks,” which apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange or national market system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the SEC. These rules require brokers who sell “penny stocks” to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our common stock and may affect the secondary market for our common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our common stock and may affect our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares in the secondary market.

ALTHOUGH OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER EVALUATED OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND CONSIDERED IT EFFECTIVE AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING WILL CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE IN THE FUTURE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BEING UNRELIABLE, GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS OR LOSS OF INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish an annual report by our management assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management. Management’s report as of the end of fiscal year 2012 concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. There is, however, no assurance that we will be able to maintain such effective internal control over financial reporting in the future. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting can result in errors or other problems in our financial statements. In addition, our internal control over financial reporting is not required to be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the future, if we are unable to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also result in investigation or sanctions by regulatory authorities.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
Not applicable.
PROPERTIES.
We maintain our research and development facilities in Rehovot, Israel. The facilities we lease in Israel are approximately 3,800 square feet pursuant to a lease expiring in September 2013. Monthly lease payments for such facility are approximately $6 thousands per month. We believe that the space available in our current facilities is adequate to meet our current needs, although future growth may require that we occupy additional space.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On March 30, 2012, the Company received a request for arbitration filed with the London Court of International Arbitration, or the LCIA, by Optaglio s.r.o., a Czech Republic limited liability company, or Optaglio.
In its request for arbitration, Optaglio claimed an alleged breach of the Commercial Cooperation Agreement, or the Agreement, entered between the Company and Optaglio on June 26, 2009.

The Agreement was entered in connection with the Company's experimental RFID technology, which was discontinued (including all related research and development), as of the end of 2010.

In its request for arbitration, Optaglio requested, among other things: (i) that the LCIA declare that the Company breached the Agreement by delivering non-functional SARCode Components to Optaglio, (ii) declare that the Company breached the Agreement by terminating its support for and development of the SARCode Technology prior to the termination of the Agreement, (iii) order the Company to pay to Optaglio the amount of EUR 184 thousands (approximately $238 thousands) as a refund for SARCode components delivered, with interest, (iv) order the Company to pay to Optaglio an amount, to be determined, for alleged losses and damages sustained by Optaglio on account of the alleged breach of the Agreement, (v) order the Company to pay to Optaglio the costs and expenses of the arbitration, and (vi) order such further relief as may be available and appropriate under the circumstances.

On April 29, 2012, the Company filed its response with the LCIA, which response included the Company's answer to Optaglio's claims and counter claims in the total amount of EUR 80 thousands (approximately $104 thousands) plus interest for payments due and owing to the Company under the Agreement.

On November 5, 2012, Optaglio and the Company entered into a commercial settlement under which, inter alia, both parties would release all and any claims that they have or may have in relation to each other, without admitting any liability with respect to any of those claims. In return the Company has agreed to pay Optaglio the amount of EUR 180 thousands (approximately $230 thousands) and to remove the SARCode components located on Optaglio's premises. Optaglio and the Company have filed a joint application to the LCIA to terminate the arbitration proceedings without any order as to the costs of the arbitration.
On November 22, 2012, the LCIA issued a Consent Award whereas: within 8 (eight) business days of the date of the Consent Award, the Company will pay to Optaglio the amount of EUR 180 thousand (approximately $230 thousand) and within 30 days of the Consent Award, the Company will remove the SARCode components located on Optaglio's premises at its own costs.

On November 30, 2012 the Company paid to Optaglio the amount of EUR 180 thousand (approximately $230 thousand).

On December 3, 2012, Optaglio and the Company entered into a Mandate Agreement under which the Company authorized Optaglio to remove the SARCode components located on Optaglio's premises at the Company’s expenses. Optaglio is obliged to remove the SARCode components within 30 days from the date of the Consent award.

The removal has had been concluded and no further actions or obligations between the parties will be required.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes located in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

OVERVIEW
We specialize in comprehensive security solutions, designed to protect branded products and documents from counterfeiting, fraud, and diversion. By creating smart protection solutions using proprietary machine-readable authentication technologies, we help companies, governments and organizations worldwide control their most valuable assets, products, reputation and revenues. We employ experts in various fields, including material science, electro-optics and software. We utilize cross-disciplinary technological innovations to implement customized and cost efficient security solutions for data and asset integrity within the customers’ existing infrastructure and environment.

FOROur TagSureä THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES SPECIFIED BELOW.solutions (previously known as "SmartInk") enable authentication and tracking of documents and products by adding special chemical markers to standard inks and coatings. The combination of markers, inks and materials produce electro-optic “signatures” - unique codes that are seamlessly incorporated into the printed media used by the customer. Proprietary computerized readers, available in hand-held, stationary and modular kit configurations, quickly verify these codes by manual or automatic operation. By focusing on customer-driven solutions, we are able to offer added value through enhanced reader functionality, including high-speed automatic sorting, one-to-many code matching, first and second level track-and-trace, code activation at the point of distribution and detrimental authentication for debit applications. The inherent flexibility of our technology also enables overlaying the machine-readable codes onto holograms and other overt features, resulting in multi-layered security that is both effective and economical.

We have sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which has resulted in a significant reduction in our cash reserves.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, our operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 resulted in a net loss of $1,076 thousands and negative cash flows from operation activities of $1,297 thousands. We believe that we will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. We may experience difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company’s existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we are implementing cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.

In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result there is no certainty that it will continue to purchase our products at the same levels as before, or at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our operating expense levels are based on internal forecasts for future demand and not on firm customer orders for products or services. Our results may be affected by fluctuating demand for our products and services from one quarter to the next and by increases in the costs of components acquired from suppliers among other issues.
REVENUES
For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 66% of our revenues were earned from customers located outside the United States compared with 76% for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 1% of our revenues were earned from one customer located in Europe compared with 50% from such customer for the year ended December 31, 2011.
23

In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result there is no certainty that it will continue to purchase our products at the same levels as before, or at all. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, one of our customers, which accounted for 5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, accounted for 29% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 1% of our revenues were earned from our previous largest customer, compared with 50% in the year ended December 31, 2011, while approximately 28% and 5% of our revenues were earned from the other two large customers in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 13% and 16%, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease in our revenues from this customer, combined with the decreased revenues from the two other large customers noted above, totaled 34% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 79%, in the year ended December 31, 2011, was the main reason for the decrease in our total revenues.
COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES
Costs and operating expenses consist of cost of revenues, research and development expenses, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses.
Our cost of revenues consists primarily of materials, including taggants and electronic and optical parts, sub-contractors and compensation costs for our operations staff.
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with development of new products. These expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue depending on the projects undertaken during the reporting period. Since our inception, we have expensed all research and development costs in each of the periods in which they were incurred.
Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our direct sales force and participation in industry events that have been incurred to attract potential business customers, professional advisors and commissions. We anticipate that, as we add new customers, we will be able to spread these costs over a larger revenue base and accordingly improve our operating margins.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs related to compensation and employees benefits of our management (including the costs of directors’ and officers’ insurance), legal, accounting and taxes fees, as well as the expenses associated with being a publicly traded company.
TAXES
We have not recorded any income tax benefit for net losses incurred for any period from inception to December 31, 2012. The utilization of these losses and credits depends on our ability to generate taxable income in the future. Because of the uncertainty of our generating taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to these deferred assets.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis and which have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
24


Of these significant accounting policies, certain policies may be considered critical because they are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon shipment of products. When and if a right of return exists, we defer revenues until the right of return expires.
INVENTORIES. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a “first in, first out” basis. We regularly review inventory values and quantities on hand and write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. In making the determination, we consider future sales of related products and the quantity of inventory at the balance sheet date, assessed against each inventory item’s past usage rates and future expected usage rates. Changes in factors such as technology, customer demand, competing products and other matters could affect the level of our obsolete and excess inventory in the future.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. We perform credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We record our bad debt expenses as general and administrative expenses. When we become aware that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance to reflect the level of credit risk in the customer’s outstanding receivable balance.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Due to the fact that we have a history of losses, it is likely that the deferred tax will not be realized.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands)
REVENUES. Revenues consist of gross sales of products less discounts. Our potential contracts are subject to a long sales cycle and the timetable for entering and implementing such projects fluctuates. Our revenues, mostly derived by the sales of taggants and readers, decreased by $2,687, or by 72%, to $1,061 in the fiscal year ended 2012 from $3,748 in the fiscal year ended 2011. This decrease in revenues was mainly due to lower volume of deliveries of our TagSure product to one of our customers located in Europe and to one of our customers located in the United States. Going forward, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market structural risks and uncertainties that will affect our business climate and market visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance and that could create quarter over quarter variability in one or more of our financial measures.
Due to our financial condition, we no longer have sufficient resources to concentrate on projects with respectlong sales cycles. Revenue from customers outside the United States represented 66% and 76% of our revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues were assigned to geographic regions based on the customers' shipment locations.
COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues consists of materials, including taggants and electronic and optical parts, sub-contractors, travel and compensation costs. Cost of revenues decreased by $376, or 42%, to $517 in 2012, from $893 in 2011. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 49% in 2012, compared with 24% in 2011. The increase in cost of revenues in percentage terms in 2012 was primarily related to a mix of sales of products with lower profitability in 2012.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation costs attributable to employees engaged in ongoing research and development activities, development-related raw materials and fees of sub-contractors. Research and development expenses decreased by $36, or 8%, to $408 in 2012 from $444 in 2011. This decrease in research and development expenses was primarily related to the four nomineesdecrease in our operations which resulted in lower payroll expenses of $33 and lower subcontractors’ expenses of $3.
We did not capitalize research and development expenses in 2012 and 2011, as all such expenses have been charged to operating expenses as incurred.

On March 26, 2012, we received from the OCS a final demand to return a total amount of $84 thousands. In its demand, the OCS claimed that some of the expenses included in the last grant were not approved. The Company paid the amount to the OCS in two installments in April and May 2012.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, promotion, advertising, trade shows and exhibitions, sales support, travel, commissions and related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $728, or 63%, to $432 in 2012, from $1,160 in 2011. This decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily related to the decrease in our operations which resulted in a decrease in payroll expenses of $414, a decrease in non-cash share based compensation expenses of $273 related to the impact of ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment" and a decrease in other expenses of $41 (mainly advertising and travel expenses).
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs for electionadministrative, finance and general management personnel, insurance, legal, accounting and administrative costs. General and administrative expenses decreased by $854, or 56%, to $666 in 2012, from $1,520 in 2011. This decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to the decrease in our operations which resulted in lower payroll expenses in an amount of $348, lower board fees of $160 (on May 14, 2012, the board of directors agreed to forego their yearly compensation until our financial condition improves), lower non-cash share based compensation expenses in an amount of $314 related to the impact of ASC Topic 718-10, "Share Based Payment" and lower legal and professional fees of $32. We have taken steps to reduce as much of our General and administrative expenses as possible.
26

General and administrative expenses in 2012 included non-cash share based compensation expenses of $53.
FINANCIAL INCOME (EXPENSES), NET. Financial income (expenses), net increased by $170, or 293%, to $112 in 2012, from financial expense, net of $58 in 2011. This change in financial income (expense), net was primarily related to an increase of $43 in financial income (expense), net due to exchange rates changes and increase of $127 in non-cash financial income related to the Company’s warrants.
NET LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. At the end of 2010, our board of directors decided to discontinue all further research and development of projects, which were not directly related to our core business of anti-counterfeiting and brand protection solutions, including our RFID product, SARCode, and its related technologies.
The discontinued operation mainly consisted of research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses. These expenses consisted primarily of compensation costs attributable to employees that were engaged in research and development activities, development-related raw materials and fees of sub-contractors and other related costs such as rental of research and development tools and legal expenses. The discontinued operation expenses increased by $73, or 48%, to $226 in 2012, from $153 in 2011. This increase in net loss from discontinued operations was primarily related to higher legal expenses of $126 and lower subcontractor’s expenses of $66 offset by a decrease of $13 in government research and development grants.
NET LOSS. We incurred a net loss of $1,076 in 2012, compared with a net loss of $489 in 2011, which represents an increase of $587 in net loss. This increase in net loss was primarily related to the decrease in our revenues, which was mainly due to lower volume of deliveries of our TagSure product to one of our customers located in Europe and to one of our customers located in the United States.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands)
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception in April 1997. As of December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $17,620 and a positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $790. Losses may continue in the foreseeable future.
Capital expenditures were $7 in 2012 and $22 in 2011. These expenditures were principally for computers and research and development equipment purchases. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $596, compared to $1,898 in 2011. We had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,297 in 2012 compared to a positive cash flow from operating activities of $65 in 2011. The negative cash flow from operating activities in 2012 is attributable mainly to the decrease in our revenues of $2,687 to $1,061 in the year ended December 31, 2012 from $3,748 in the year ended December 31, 2011. The positive cash flow from operating activities in 2011 is attributable mainly to the adjustments for share based compensation totals of $649 and the increase in accrued expenses and other payables of $224 which were required to reconcile the net loss of $489 into the net cash of $65 provided from operating activities.
We had a positive cash flow from investing activities of $501 in 2012 compared to negative cash flow of $525 in 2011. The positive cash flow from investing activities in 2012 was primarily due to release of short-term deposit of $506, while the negative cash flow in 2011 was primarily due to investment in the same short-term deposit of $506.
27

We had no activity from financing activities in 2012 compared to a negative cash flow from financing activities of $57 in 2011. The negative cash flow in 2011 was due to the buyback of the Company’s shares for $90, less proceeds from option exercises of $33. In February 2012, the Company granted 2,055, 604 restricted shares to Mr. Tal Gilat, equal to 5% of the total issued and outstanding stock capital of the Company as of December 31, 2011.

Because of the reduced levels of orders from our largest customers and our expectation that our revenues from these customers will continue to remain depressed or decline further, we believe that our existing cash resources, together with cash to be collected from customers, will no longer be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months. Continuing product development and enhancement, expected new product launches, corporate operations and marketing expenses will continue to require additional capital and our current cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover our business plans.  In order to have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated requirements for the next twelve months, we will be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to obtain required additional funds will require us to curtail our operations. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operation, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders would lose their entire investment in our company. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we implemented cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs. Our management has also tightened its cost control, but increased the marketing of our current and new products.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS (dollars in thousands)
Our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2012 principally include obligations associated with our office lease obligations and the lease of several automobiles which expire on various dates, the latest of which is in September 2013.  The future lease payments under non-cancelable office and car leases as of December 31, 2012, are as follows:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of Company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.
This assessment included (a) an evaluation and testing of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and (b) testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.
Our assessment was conducted in accordance with criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in INTERNAL CONTROL-INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK. Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The position of Chairman of the Board of Directors is held by Gadi Peleg, who is not an executive officer. Tal Gilat serves as our principal executive officer of the Company. As our common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of the Board of Directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. Nonetheless, of our three directors currently serving on the Board of Directors, we believe that Gadi Peleg, David W. Sass and Alon Raich are independent directors within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of The NASDAQ Stock Market Inc. listing rules. Mr. Bettsak resigned from the Board of Directors, effective as of October 21, 2013. As disclosed above, David W. Sass also serves as a director of ICTS International, N.V., traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTC: ICTSF) and Alon Raich serves as its Chief Financial Officer. The Board of Directors believes this leadership structure provides effective and clear leadership for the Company.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for administering the Company’s risk oversight function, and we believe that the Company’s leadership structure, discussed above, supports this function.
Board Meetings
During 2012, the Board of Directors held six meetings. All of the directors but Jonathan Bettsak attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which they served. Each of the directors is encouraged to attend the annual stockholder’s meeting. Two of the three directors currently serving on the Board of Directors attended the 2012 annual stockholder’s meeting.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we had four meetings of our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently has two members: Messrs. Alon Raich (Chairman) and David W. Sass. The Audit Committee recommends to the Company’s Board of Directors to retain or terminate the services of our independent accountants, reviews annual financial statements, considers matters relating to accounting policy and internal controls and reviews the scope of annual audits. All members of the Audit Committee satisfy the current independence standard promulgated by the SEC, as such standards apply specifically to members of audit committees. The Board of Directors has determined that Alon Raich is an “audit committee financial expert” as the SEC has defined that term in Item 407 of Regulation S-K based on their qualifications described above and believes that he and David W. Sass are independent directors within the meaning of NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The Audit Committee written charter, which was included as an appendix to the Company’s 2011 proxy statement, is available upon request from the Company's Chairman of the Board.

44

Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we did not hold meetings of the Compensation Committee, rather, the role of the Compensation Committee was conducted by the full Board of Directors. The role of the Compensation Committee is to advise and make recommendations to the Board of Directors relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, administration of all plans of the Company under which Company securities may be acquired by directors, executive officers, employees and consultants and to produce the report on executive compensation, if required, in the Company’s annual proxy statement in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The current member of our Compensation Committee is David W. Sass, who is an independent director. Jonathan Bettsak, who was a member of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, resigned from the Board of Directors, effective as of October 21, 2013. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors which has the final decisions with respect to all such matters. The Compensation Committee written charter, which was included as an appendix to the Company’s 2011 proxy statement, is available upon request from the Company's Chairman of the Board.

Nominating Committee. We do not have a standing nominating committee. The Board of Directors has not established a nominating committee primarily because the current composition and size of the Board of Directors permits candid and open discussion regarding potential new members of the Board of Directors. Each of the members of the Board of Directors participates in the considerations of director nominees for us. There is no formal process or policy that governs the manner in which we identify potential candidates for the Board of Directors. Historically, however, the Board of Directors has considered several factors in evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors, including the candidate’s knowledge of the company and its business, the candidate’s business experience and credentials, and whether the candidate would represent the interests of all the company’s stockholders as opposed to a specific group of stockholders. Diversity is not considered material in identifying nominees for directors. We do not have a formal policy with respect to our consideration of Board of Directors nominees recommended by our stockholders because we are a small company. However, the Board of Directors will consider candidates recommended by stockholders on a case-by-case basis. A stockholder who desires to recommend a candidate for nomination to the Board of Directors should do so by writing to us at 18 East 16th Street, Suite 307, New York, NY 10003, Attn: Chairman of the Board.

Deadline and Procedures for Submitting Board of Directors Nominations
A stockholder wishing to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting to be held in 2014 is required to give written notice containing the required information specified above addressed to the Board of Directors, c/o Chairman of the Board, InkSure Technologies Inc., 18 East 16th Street, Suite 307, New York, NY 10003, of his or her intention to make such a nomination. The notice of nomination and other required information must be received by the Company no later than July 3, 2014.
With respect to the deadlines discussed above, if the date of the Annual Meeting to be held in 2014 is advanced by more than thirty days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than thirty days from the anniversary of the Annual Meeting held in 2013, a stockholder must submit any such proposal to the Company no later than the close of business on the sixtieth day prior to the date of the Company’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the 2014 Annual Meeting.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012

INDEX

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
INKSURE TECHNOLOGIES INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InkSure Technologies Inc. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'   equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Audit Committee's revieweffectiveness of the auditedCompany’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and discussionssignificant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with management and BAC,accounting principles generally accepted in the Audit Committee recommendedUnited states of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements, be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-Krecurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operation raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL
A.InkSure Technologies Inc., and its subsidiaries, together, or the Company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S., on April 22, 1997. On July 8, 2003, the Company effected a reincorporation from Nevada to Delaware, through a merger with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, InkSure Technologies (Delaware) Inc., which was incorporated on June 30, 2003. The surviving corporation in the merger was InkSure Technologies (Delaware) Inc., which thereupon renamed itself InkSure Technologies Inc.
The Company specializes in comprehensive security solutions, designed to protect branded products and documents of value from counterfeiting, fraud and diversion. The Company conducts its operations and business with and through its direct and indirect subsidiaries: InkSure Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in March 2000; IST Operating Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in May 2000 (formerly known as InkSure Technologies Inc., which as  of December 31, 2012 is inactive); InkSure Ltd., which was incorporated in December 1995 under the laws of Israel; and InkSure RF Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in March 2000 (as of December 31, 2011, InkSure RF Inc. is inactive).
All the figures are presented in U.S. Dollars in thousands (except for share and per share data).
B.
The Company has sustained significant operating losses in recent periods, which has resulted in a significant reduction in its cash reserves. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sustained a net loss of $1,076 and negative cash flows from operation activities of $1,297. The Company believes that it will continue to experience losses and increased negative working capital and negative cash flows in the near future and will not be able to return to positive cash flow without obtaining additional financing in the near term. The Company may experience difficulties accessing the equity and debt markets and raising such capital, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital on favorable terms or at all.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company’s existing stockholders will experience significant further dilution. As a result of the foregoing factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to conserve our cash and manage our liquidity, we are implementing cost-cutting initiatives including the reduction of employee headcount and overhead costs.

In April 2012, one of our major customers, which accounted for approximately 50% and 56% of our revenues from sales in Europe during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, informed us that it lost its government contract and as a result it stopped purchasing our products. In addition, we have experienced a reduction in orders from two other large customers in the fiscal year ended December 31, 20122012. The loss of any of these customers, or the sustained continuation of their reduced levels of business, which accounts for filing with the SEC.
Membersa significant portion of the InkSure Technologies Inc. Audit Committeeour revenues, will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP.
A.USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F - 7

B.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN U.S. DOLLARS:
The majority of the sales of Inksure Inc., our U.S. subsidiary, are made in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the U.S. subsidiary’s costs is incurred in U.S. dollars and the majority of the expenses of, InkSure Ltd., the Israeli subsidiary, is paid in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS; however, most of the expenses are denominated and determined in U.S. dollars. The Company’s management believes that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
C.PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
D.CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.
E.INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined as follows: Raw materials, parts and supplies - using the “first-in, first-out” method.
Work in progress and finished products - on the basis of direct manufacturing costs with the addition of allocable indirect manufacturing costs.
F.PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET:
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
  YEARS
Computers and peripheral equipment3-5
Office furniture and equipment
5-17
Leasehold improvements
Over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the asset
G.IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:
The Company’s long-lived assets and certain identified intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
F - 8

H.REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company generates revenues mainly from sales of security inks and readers through a combination of its own sales personnel, strategic alliances and licenses with intermediaries.
Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”, when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon shipment of products. The Company does not grant a right of return to its customers.
Revenues from certain arrangements may include multiple elements within a single contract. The Company’s accounting policy complies with ASC Topic 605-25 “Multiple-Element Arrangements”, relating to the separation of multiple deliverables into individual accounting units with determinable fair value.
I.WARRANTY:
The Company provides a warranty for its products. The term of the warranty is 12 months for hardware products and up to 18 months for TagSure products.
As of the balance sheet date, the Company did not receive any warranty claims and does not expect to receive any material warranty claims in the future. Therefore, the Company did not record a liability in respect of the warranty.
J.RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS:
Research and development costs are charged to the statement of operations, as incurred.
K.BASIC AND DILUTED NET PROFIT (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic and diluted net profit (loss) per share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share” for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net profit (loss) per share of common stock was determined by dividing net profit (loss) attributable to common stock holders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for year 2012 presented as the effect of the Company’s potential additional shares of common stock were anti-dilutive.
All outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share of common stock because all such securities are anti-dilutive for fiscal year 2012. The total number of shares related to the outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 5,363,433 and 6,013,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 accordingly.
L.INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.
M.CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
F - 9

Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major banks in Israel and the United States. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially stable, and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
The trade receivables of the Company are mainly derived from sales to customers located in the United States and Europe. The Company has performed credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. In certain circumstances, the Company may require letters of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees.
N.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
O.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company applies ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment awards made to employees and directors be recognized in the financial statements. The principal awards issued under Company stock-based compensation plans include stock options. The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Compensation cost related to stock options is recognized in operating results (included in cost of revenues, research and development, selling and marketing, general and administrative expenses) under ASC Topic 718 which were $60 and $649 during 2012 and 2011, respectively.
We did not grant any new stock options in the year ended December 31, 2012.
The fair market value of each option grant in 2011 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: (1) expected life of 3.75 years; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) expected volatility of 201%; and (4) risk-free interest rate of 1.28%.
P.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that emphasizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company made full contributions towards its severance pay obligations for its employees.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A.LEASE COMMITMENTS:
As of December 31, 2012, the Company leases its facilities and certain motor vehicles under various operating lease agreements, which expire on various dates, the latest of which is in September 2013. The future lease payments under non-cancelable office and car leases as of December 31, 2012, are as follows:

$65
B.GUARANTEES:
The Company provided bank guarantees in the amount of $15 to secure its lease commitments.
C.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
As of December 31, 2012 the Company does not have any pending legal proceedings.
D.           R&D GRANTS:
From June 2005 through December 2010, the Company had received non-royalty-bearing grants aggregating $240 from the European Commission. These grants are recognized at the time the Company was entitled to such grants on the basis of the costs incurred and were included as a reduction in research and development expenses.
F - 12

From 2007 through 2010, the Company received governmental research and development grants of approximately $1,905 (2007 - $394, 2008 - $402, 2009 - $745, 2010 - $364) from the Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS, at the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Government of Israel. Of this amount, a total of $1,805 was received in connection with the research and development of our RFID product, which we discontinued in November 2010. The royalty rate is 3%-4% of the sales revenues based on the grants received in connection with the research and development projects and is capped at the grant amount received from the OCS plus interest (total theoretical debt of $2,130).

Following the submission of our last research and development grant program report to the OCS (for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010), and following an OCS audit in September 2010, on March 26, 2012, we received from the OCS a final demand to return a total amount of $84 thousands. In its demand, the OCS claimed that some of the expenses included in the last grant were not approved. The Company paid the amount to the OCS in two installments in April and May 2012.
NOTE 9 - STOCK CAPITAL
A.           STOCKHOLDERS’ RIGHTS:
Shares of common stock confer upon the holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in the general meetings of the Company, and the right to receive dividends, if and when declared.

On September 6, 2011, the Company satisfied the closing conditions and closed two agreements to repurchase a total of 1,200,000 shares of its common stock from two of its shareholders for a total purchase price of $90.
B.           STOCK OPTIONS:

As of December 31, 2012, an aggregate of 4,569,165 options and shares are still available for future grant under the Option Plan.

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, which was held on September 8, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved and ratified the InkSure Technologies Inc. 2011 Employees, Directors and Consultants Stock Plan, or the Stock Plan.

The total number of shares that can be issued under the Stock Plan shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors, provided, however, that such number, together with the number of shares that may be issued under the Option Plan, and options granted outside the Stock Plan and Option Plan, shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares. The Stock Plan shall be administered by the board of directors.

NOTE 10 - TAXES ON INCOME

A.TAX RATES APPLICABLE TO THE INCOME OF THE COMPANY:
The Company's Israeli subsidiary’s taxable income is subject to income tax at the regular corporate rate of 25%.

On December 6, 2011, the Law for Change in the Tax Burden (Legislative Amendments) was published in Israel.
The main changes of the new law regarding corporate income taxes are as follows:
1.Cancellation of the previous planned gradual reduction of income taxes and corporate income taxes commencing in 2012 (the previous amendment stated that the corporate tax rate will be further reduced in subsequent tax years as follows: in 2012 - 23%, in 2013  - 22%, 2014 - 21% , 2015 – 20% and thereafter 18%).
2.Increase of the corporate income tax rate to 25% in 2012.
3.Increase of the capital gains tax rate and betterment tax rate to 25%.

B.            DEFERRED INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 
  2012  2011 
       
Net loss carry-forward                                                       $3,308  $2,926

purposes

Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance  3,407   3,045 
Valuation allowance                                                        (3,407)  (3,045)
         
Net deferred tax asset                                                       $  $ 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The most significant component of the Company's deferred tax assets is the accumulated net operating losses carry-forward among the two subsidiaries due to the uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits.
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carry-forward and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carry-forward and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.
Net profit (loss) was incurred as following:

Israel                                                        (450)  832 
  $(1,076) $(489)

C.TAX LOSS CARRY-FORWARDS:
Net operating loss carry-forwards as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Net operating losses in Israel may be carried forward indefinitely.
Net operating losses in the U.S. are available through 2027.
*Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

At this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from InkSure Technologies Inc. to New York Global Innovations Inc.
Spectra has requested, and we have agreed, to change our name in connection with the transaction. The Company’s management and the Board of Directors believe that the name change would be in the best interest of the Company, but will not necessarily reflect the future operations of the Company.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, the proxies granted by stockholders will be voted aggregately for approval of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, unless a proxy specifies that it is not to be voted in favor of the amendment.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date, time or place, if deemed necessary in the judgment of the proxy holders, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to vote in favor of Proposal 1. Any adjournment of the Annual Meeting may be made without notice, other than by the announcement made at the Annual Meeting, if the majority of those shares present at the meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon approve the adjournment proposal. However, if, after the adjournment, the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a new notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. If we adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date, we will transact the same business and, unless we must fix a new record date, only the stockholders who were eligible to vote at the original meeting will be permitted to vote at the adjourned meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 4 TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 1.

It is currently anticipated that the Company will hold its 2014 Annual Meeting in September 2014 and would mail the notice of such meeting and related proxy statement to its stockholders in August 2014. Stockholders who wish to present proposals appropriate for consideration at our Annual Meeting to be held in the year 2014 must submit the proposal in proper form consistent with our By-laws to us at our address as set forth on the first page of this proxy statement and in accordance with the applicable regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act no later than July 3, 2014 in order for the proposition to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such Annual Meeting. Any such proposals should contain the name and record address of the stockholder, the class and number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned as of the Record Date established for the meeting, a description of, and reasons for, the proposal and all information that would be required to be included in the proxy statement file with the SEC if such stockholder was a participant in the solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The proposal, as well as any questions related thereto, should be directed to our Secretary.
If a stockholder submits a proposal after the July 3, 2014 deadline required under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act but still wishes to present the proposal at our Annual Meeting (but not in our proxy statement) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 to be held in 2014, the proposal, which must be presented in a manner consistent with our By-laws and applicable law, must be submitted to our Secretary in proper form at the address set forth above so that it is received by our Secretary by September 16, 2014.
We did not receive notice of any proposed matter to be submitted by stockholders for a vote at this Annual Meeting and, therefore, in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 14a-4(c) any proxies held by persons designated as proxies by our Board of Directors and received in respect of this Annual Meeting will be voted in the discretion of our management on such other matter which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
Proxies for the Annual Meeting will be solicited by mail and through brokerage institutions and all expenses involved, including printing and postage, will be paid by us. In addition, arrangements will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of stock, and we may reimburse such persons for their expenses.
YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT OR THAT THE COMPANY HAS REFERRED YOU TO. NO ONE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT IS DIFFERENT.
A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC is being mailed as part of our Annual Report to Stockholders with this proxy statement to each stockholder of record as of the close of business on December 5, 2013. A stockholder may also request an additional copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended, without charge except for exhibits to the report, by writing to InkSure Technologies Inc., 18 East 16th Street, Suite 307, New York, NY 10003, Attention: Chairman of the Board. Exhibits will be provided upon written request and payment of a reasonable fee.

The Board of Directors is aware of no other matters, except for those incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting, that are to be presented to stockholders for formal action at the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment.
