EXHIBIT 99.3
INDEX TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MULTICARD AG
WALLISELLEN, SWITZERLAND
Report of the independent auditor on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Multicard AG as of June 30, 2008, and the related statement of income for the period from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s 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 effectiveness of the Company’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 significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Multicard AG at June 30, 2008 and the results of its operations for the six-month-period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Switzerland, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (see note 8 to the financial statements).

MULTICARD AG, WALLISELLEN
NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF 30 JUNE 2008
1. Company Background
Multicard AG (“Multicard AG” or the “Company”) is a worldwide supplier of card solutions for secure identification programs with in-house capabilities for credential issuance, personalization and fulfillment services for the consumer, government and corporate customers. The company offers identification (ID) systems management and engineering services as well as full implementation and program management. Multicard AG is also a provider of enrollment and accreditation solutions using data capture equipment for ePassport and other government ID and corporate ID applications.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis in accordance with Swiss generally accepted accounting principles stipulated by the Swiss Code of Obligations (“Swiss GAAP”). The functional currency is Swiss Franc (“CHF”), but all amounts are stated in Euro (“€”) for presentation purposes.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Inventories:
Inventories, which include raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost, or market value. An estimated provision is recorded for excess inventory, technical obsolescence and no ability to sell based primarily on expectations for future use.
Tangible Fixed Assets:
Tangible fixed assets and intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the asset. The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate.
Intangible Assets:
Acquired intangible assets are stated at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the income statement in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company’s revenues arise from products that are manufactured, packaged, delivered and invoiced against specific customer orders. The risks and rewards are transferred to the customer at the time of delivery and invoicing and revenue is recognized at that time. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and sales taxes or duty.
Interest income is recognized as interest accrues. Interest income is included in finance income in the income statement.
Income Taxes:
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
5
Provisions and Accruals:
Provisions have been made to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles in Switzerland. Provisions are to be created in particular to cover potential losses from contractual obligations. Excess reserves exceeding the above are permitted to the extent justified with regard to the continuing prosperity of the Company or the distribution of a dividend as equal as possible, taking into account the interests of the shareholders.
Investments in Affiliated Company:
Affiliated company represents investment in a fully owned subsidiary and is stated at cost.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The company has € as its presentation currency. For translation purposes, the income statement is translated from the functional currency (CHF) to € at average rates. Assets and Liabilities are translated to € at period end rates and equity is translated at historical rates. The resultant translation difference is included in “Short-term provisions” on the balance sheet, if it is a credit, or as unrealized loss on the income statement in case of a debit.
Research and development costs:
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
| • | | the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; |
| • | | its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset; |
| • | | how the asset will generate future economic benefits; |
| • | | the availability of resources to complete the asset; and |
| • | | the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development. |
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period of expected future benefit.
Commitments:
As at June 30, 2008, the Company had the following commitments:
| | |
| | As at June 30, 2008 |

6

Mountain Partners has the right to demand for the loan and outstanding interest anytime by giving six-week written notice to the Company.

| | | |
| b. | The material variations from Swiss GAAP and U.S. GAAP are, as follows: |
| 1. | Consolidation: Under Swiss GAAP, no consolidation is required for statutory financial reporting. Under U.S. GAAP, the financial statements of majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810— Consolidation(“ASC 810”). Multicard AG acquired 100% shares of Multicard GmbH (“Multicard GmbH”) as of March 10, 2008 (“acquisition date”). As a result, the Company consolidated the financial statements of Multicard GmbH in accordance with ASC 810. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141”). |
8
| Under SFAS 141, the acquisition date ordinarily is the date assets are received and other assets are given, liabilities are assumed or incurred, or equity interests are issued. However, the parties may, for convenience, designate as the effective date the end of an accounting period between the dates a business combination is initiated and consummated. Therefore February 29, 2008 has been designated as the acquisition date for accounting purposes as allowed under SFAS 141. As a result, the results for the acquired Multicard GmbH business are included in Multicard AG’s income statement since the acquisition date in accordance with SFAS 141. The cost of the investment which represents the net assets acquired on the date of acquisition is already reflected in the shareholders’ equity as shown in the financial statements. As such , the impact of consolidating the financial statements of Multicard GmbH as of June 30, 2008 and for the period since acquisition date of €26,762, which reflects post-acquisition income of multicard GmbH, have been reflected in the net income and equity reconciliations from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP. |
| 2. | Leasing: Under Swiss GAAP, the accounting for leases closely follows tax regulations. Under U.S. GAAP, the leases are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840,Leases, (“ASC 840”). ASC 840 specifies four criteria to evaluate whether a lease should be accounted for as an operating lease or a capital lease. If a lease meets one or more of those four criteria, the lease shall be classified as a capital lease by the lessee. Otherwise, it shall be classified as an operating lease. Swiss GAAP does not specify any specific criteria to evaluate the classification of a lease, hence, accounting conclusion may differ under Swiss GAAP as compared to U.S. GAAP. Therefore, certain leases were de-capitalized under U.S. GAAP and treated as operating leases, as they did not meet any of the four criteria as stipulated under ASC 840. These leases were qualified as capital leases under Swiss GAAP. As a result, the Company reversed the depreciation expense of €2,062 and interest expense of €458 which was recorded in accordance with Swiss GAAP as shown in the income statement reconciliation from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP. As stated earlier, since the lease was not qualified as capital leases in accordance with ASC 840, operating lease rent expense of €2,001 was recognized as shown in the net income reconciliation from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP. |
| 3. | Pension: The Company has a pension plan with a third party insurance company which requires contributions to be made to separately administered funds. Under Swiss GAAP, pension contributions are paid monthly and are shown as expense. The liability related to pensions reflects the accrued balance of the contributions. Under U.S. GAAP, this plan is treated as a defined benefit plan, in accordance with ASC 712. The liability under the plan is determined by a participant’s years of service and final average compensation (taking into account the participant’s social security wage base). As a result, the Company recorded a net pension expense of €2,205 in accordance with U.S. GAAP as shown in the net income reconciliation from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP and pension liability, representing the unfunded status, of €89,352 as shown in the equity reconciliation from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP. |
| 4. | Intangible assets: During the period ended June 30, 2008, certain intangible assets of €7,285 were impaired and fully written off under Swiss GAAP. These assets were capitalized in 2007 under Swiss GAAP. However these assets did not meet the capitalization criteria on Day 1 under U.S. GAAP. As a result the company recorded an adjustment of €7,054 to the opening balance of accumulated deficit to de-capitalize these assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP as shown in the equity reconciliation from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP. As stated earlier, since these assets were impaired under Swiss GAAP and hence were written off during the period June 30, 2008, the de-capitalization of these assets in 2007 under U.S.GAAP has an effect of reducing the reported loss under Swiss GAAP for the six months ending June 30, 2008. As a result, €7,285 was reversed from the income statement in accordance with U.S. GAAP as shown in the income statement reconciliation from Swiss GAAP to U.S. GAAP. This adjustment did not have a significant impact on the net equity at June 30, 2008 under U.S. GAAP. The difference between €7,054 and €7,285 is attributed to the difference in exchange rates at different dates. |
| 5. | Deferred Income Taxes: There were no deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized under Swiss GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, the deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Certain deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were recognized in the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 740, and any changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities from period to period were recognized in the income statement. The Company recorded 100% valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets as it was determined it is more likely than not that these assets would be realized. As a result, the income tax benefit recorded in income statement due to changes in net deferred tax assets was offset by the valuation allowance. As a result, there was no net impact to the net loss and net shareholders equity. |
