ICOP DIGITAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
Conference Call Details Will be Announced at a Later Date
LENEXA, Kansas, (MARKET WIRE) – May 15, 2009 – ICOP Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICOP) today announced financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2009. ICOP is a leading provider of advanced digital video surveillance and management solutions.
Conference Call
The Company intends to schedule a conference call to be announced at a later date to discuss first quarter financial results.
Key Operational Highlights
| • | | The Company has appointed DDIT, a registered Saudi company, as its exclusive distributor for pending and future business opportunities in the Middle East. DDIT has provided the financial and sales leadership for ICOP projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and now expands its relationship with ICOP for sales and technical support of ICOP products in the Gulf Region. |
| • | | ICOP has shipped the first order for 100 units to the Ministry of the Interior in Saudi Arabia. The high quality and superior performance of the ICOP Model 20/20-W system were major factors in its selection, as well as the unit’s ability to integrate with other key equipment in Saudi security vehicles. |
| • | | On March 24, 2009, the Company announced the appointment of Mickie R. Koslofsky as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer. |
| • | | ICOP continues to have a success in RFP responses, and has realized a 50% win ratio for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. |
Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to three months ended March 31, 2008:
| • | | Sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2,248,533 and $2,815,323, respectively, a decrease of $566,790 (20.1%) due to a reduction in units sold, primarily driven by the economic downturn and the negative impact from the announcement of a non-payment default on our previous line of credit. However, we believe the negative impact of the loss of our credit line is beginning to subside. We were able to replace the line and continue our business operations in a normal fashion. |
| • | | Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,162,370 and $1,789,414, respectively, a decrease of $627,044 (35.0%). The decline is in relation to the decrease in units sold. |

| • | | Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 48.3% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to 36.4% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The increase in gross margin as percentage of sales is the result of the lower margin on servers in 2008, along with cost of goods sold being higher in the previous year as a result of the ICOPEXTREME microphone exchange program initiated in February 2008. |
| • | | On March 31, 2009, the Company had $551,112 in cash, $1,141,642 in accounts receivable, $2,523,488 in inventory and $2,867,227 in current liabilities, for a net working capital of $2,362,265. |
| • | | Net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was $463,846 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,842,733 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The increase in net cash from operations is mainly due to decreases in inventory and accounts receivable in 2009 along with a lower net loss in the 2009 three month period compared to the 2008 three month period. |
