8,566,394 shares of common stock
The prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling security holders of Identica Holdings Corporation, of up to 8,566,394 shares of common stock in connection with the resale of:

2,024,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by selling security holders;
and
·
2,276,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes held by selling security holders.
Upon the effectiveness of this prospectus, the selling security holders will sell at a price per share of $1.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.

There has been no market for our securities and a public market may not develop, or, if any market does develop, it may not be sustained. As of August 11 , 2008, we had 11,932,489 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market. After the date of this prospectus, we expect to have an application filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for our common stock to eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Until our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the selling security holders will be offering our shares of common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per common share.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO MANY RISKS AND AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL ALSO INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FACTORS DESCRIBED UNDER THE HEADING “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section, the Financial Statements and the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Identica Holdings Corporation
We are a US-based, international manufacturer and distributor of cost-effective, next-generation biometric identification solutions for identifying individuals. Biometric identification is the ability to recognize an individual using a measurable, physical characteristic or personal behavioral trait to undeniably recognize that identity.
The December 31, 2007 audit report accompanying our audited, consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph from our auditors which expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the years ended December, 2007 and 2006, the Company experienced net losses of $2,662,288 and $2,085,601, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,070,655 and $5,649,077 respectively. Management’s plans to address the lack of adequate funds to continue operations include continuing its efforts to increase sales of its products and secure additional debt and equity financing.
On January 2, 2008 we executed a new exclusive Distribution Agreement with TechSphere Co. Ltd. of South Korea to supply us with the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner and related customization and development services. The Agreement expanded our exclusive distribution of the VP-II technology to include the following territories: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Western and Eastern Europe extending from the United Kingdom to the whole of the Russian Federation, and Israel. The Distribution Agreement provides for expiration on January 1st, 2013, and further provides automatic extension options in increments of three years per extension in perpetuity unless terminated by either party in accordance with the termination clauses contained in the Agreement. The Agreement provides for a five-year cumulative purchase commitment with yearly purchase targets which may be deferred to subsequent period(s). Should Identica elect this option, Identica is contractually required to pay TechSphere a proportional amount of the product cost(s) as a “Manufacturer Technical Support Fee”, which must be paid within 15 days of the end of the year. This alternative payment option provides greater cash flow flexibility to Identica as it relates to its timing of future inventory purchase requirements. The annual payment contractually required to maintain the agreement, in lieu of purchasing the entire quota, is as follows: in 2008, $168,033; in 2009, $353,000; in 2010, $461,500; in 2011, $599,950; and, in 2012, $781,000.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had sales of $216,772. We currently generate 57% of our revenues from sales in the United States, 35.4% from sales in Canada and 7.6% from sales in South America.
Our principal markets consist of organizations seeking the ability to control access to restricted areas, known in our industry as “access control” systems, and organizations seeking the ability to track the amount of time individuals are at work, known as “time and attendance” systems. We have both formal and informal marketing arrangements with various resellers/integrators in the Americas ranging from medium-sized regional companies to major international corporations, including access control original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), security system integrators, and security industry resellers. These formal relationships are represented by executed reseller agreements requiring committed actions by both parties. These channel representatives are offering our products to their customers as responses to requests for proposals or are listing our products in their catalogues. No individual OEM, integra tor or reseller alone is material to our current business.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 18, 2005 for the purpose of acquiring and operating the business of Identica Canada Corp. Our principal executive offices are located at 3825 Henderson Blvd., Suite 605A, Tampa, Florida 33629, and our telephone number is (813) 642-3479. Our website is located at www.identicacorp.com. Information on our website is not part of this prospectus. We have three operational, wholly-owned subsidiaries – Identica Corp. USA, Inc., our U.S. sales headquarters; Identica Canada
1
Corp., our Canadian sales and support headquarters; and Identica Corp. TEC, Inc., our US-based technical support and training facility.
The Offering
Securities offered: |
| The selling stockholders are offering hereby up to 8,566,394 shares, comprised of the following:
- 4,265,822 shares of common stock currently held by the selling stockholders; - 2,024,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants, including 1,624,572 warrants at an exercise price of $0.70 per share, and 400,000 warrants at an exercise price of $0.35.
and - 2,276,000 shares of common stock underlying convertible notes in the principal amount of $569,000. |
|
|
|
Offering price: |
| $1.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. |
|
|
|
Shares outstanding prior to offering: |
| 11,932,489 |
|
|
|
Shares outstanding after offering if all warrants and convertible notes included in this offering are exercised: |
| 16,233,061 |
Shares outstanding if all warrants and notes outstanding are converted to shares: |
|
50,733,061 |
Market for the common shares: |
| There is no public market for our common shares. We intend to have a market maker file an application on our behalf with the NASD to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board after the date of this prospectus. There is no assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Consequently, a purchaser of our common stock may find it difficult to resell the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so when eligible for public resale. |
|
|
|
Use of proceeds: |
| We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock being offered for sale by the selling security holders. We may not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the warrants being registered herein since all the warrants have cashless exercise provisions. Because the cashless warrants are subject to a formula based upon market price and because market price cannot be determined prior to the stock being offered on the OTC Bulletin Board, it is impractical to provide an estimate as to the potential proceeds from such cashless warrant exercise. |

Summary Financial Data
Our operations commenced on January 23, 2003 with the formation of Identica Corp. (later renamed Identica Canada Corp.) as an Ontario, Canada Corporation. Identica Canada Corp. became a wholly-owned subsidiary as a result of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, dated November 18, 2005, among Identica Canada Corp. and its stockholders. We have a limited operating history, and, in 2004, Identica Canada Corp.’s fiscal year end, formerly October 31, was changed to December 31. The following summary financial information represents, and is taken from, the results of operations for Identica Canada Corp. and for Identica Holdings Corporation for the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 and includes Results of Operations and Balance Sheet data from the both audited December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 financial statements. The following summary consolidated financial information represents, and is taken f rom, the results of operations for Identica Holdings Corporation for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and includes Results of Operations and Balance Sheet data from the unaudited March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements. The information contained in this table should be read in conjunction with “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth would likely suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Company and Our Industry
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”, and you may lose your entire investment in our Company.
Our business has no record of profitability and it may never become profitable. As of March 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,070,655. As of December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,649,077 and working capital of $197,830. Our ability to obtain profitability in the future depends in part on the rate of growth of our target markets, the acceptance of our products and services, the competitive position of our products and services, our ability to develop new products and our ability to manage expenses. If we continue incurring losses and fail to achieve profitability, we may have to cease our operations and you may lose your entire investment.
Our financial condition raises substantial doubt that we will be able to operate as a “going concern”, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in their report on our financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty as to whether we will achieve status as a “going concern”. Our ability to achieve status as a “going concern” is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and to pay our debt obligations. Our business plans may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot achieve status as a “going concern”, you may lose your entire investment in our Company.
We do not have sufficient cash on hand. If we do not generate sufficient revenues from sales, we will be unable to continue our operations.
We estimate that within the next 12 months we will need $2,016,000 for operations, and we do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet this requirement. There is no assurance that we will achieve our projected revenue level of approximately $200,000 per month over the next twelve months. We recognize that if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or obtain debt or equity financing, we will not be able to earn profits and may not be able to continue operations.
There is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will continue to generate enough operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
We operate a global business that exposes us to additional risks such as currency fluctuations, the ability to collect off-shore receivables, and political instability. These additional risks may increase our cost of doing business, and if we don’t manage these risks, our revenue and profitability could be directly, negatively affected.
We anticipate generating a significant part of our revenue from international sales. Currently approximately 43% of our revenues are derived from outside the United States. Operations outside of the United States may be affected by , unexpected changes in regulatory requirements for biometric products; changes in trade protection laws, policies and measures, and other regulatory requirements affecting trade and investment; social, political, labor, or economic conditions in a specific country or region; and difficulties in collecting receivables; and managing foreign operations. In addition, if we generate a significant part of our revenues in foreign currencies, we must translate those revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect during, or at the end of, each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies su ch as the Canadian Dollar and the Mexican Peso, for example, will affect
4
our net revenues, operating income and the value of balance sheet items denominated in those foreign currencies. Significant fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may adversely affect our future net revenues.
We operate in a highly competitive market and compete with companies that have significantly larger operations and greater financial resources; we may not be able to compete effectively against such companies, which could result in additional losses.
We are subject to extensive competition from numerous competitors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully or that competitive pressures will not damage our business.
Our competition includes:
·
traditional non-biometric access control and time-and-attendance hardware and software vendors;
·
biometric companies such as Ingersoll Rand Company Limited - Recognition Systems and Identix Incorporated.
Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater financial, distribution and marketing resources. If we cannot compete successfully against such competitors, it will impair our ability to maintain our market position. If we are unable to maintain our market position, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and you may lose your entire investment in us.
We rely on the services of our key personnel, and if we are unable to retain our current personnel, our ability to develop and successfully market our products and services could be harmed.
We rely upon the continued service and performance of a relatively small number of key technical and senior management personnel. If we lose any of our key technical or senior management personnel, or are unable to fill key positions, our business could be harmed. As a result, our future success depends on our retention of key employees, such as Edward Foster and Terry Wheeler. We rely on these individuals for the management of our company, development of our business strategy and management of our strategic relationships. Both of these individuals are committed to devoting substantially all of their time and energy to us through their respective consultancy agreements; they are each contractually obligated to provide no less than 40 hours a week to the company. Any of these employees could leave our company with little or no prior notice. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies covering any of our employees. Additio nally, there are a limited number of qualified technical personnel with significant experience in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of biometric devices using vascular pattern recognition technology, and we may face challenges hiring and retaining these types of employees.
Our ability to compete will be harmed if we are unable to adequately protect our territorial exclusivity and/or our intellectual property rights. This would result in our spending additional funds to protect or defend these rights, and which may negatively affect our profitability.
We rely primarily on contractual restrictions to maintain and protect our territorial exclusivity for the distribution of the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner. We have exclusive distribution rights in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Israel, and all of Europe including the Russian Federation. We further rely upon trade secrets to protect our proprietary designs of the Universal Controller, and upon copyright notifications imbedded in the software and displayed on proprietary user and technical documentation to protect our IONcontrol software. These afford only limited protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain copy or use information that we regard as proprietary, such as product design, and software source code. Moreover, policing any unauthorized use of our products is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the measures we have im plemented will prevent misappropriation or unauthorized use of our technologies, particularly in foreign jurisdictions where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as the laws of the United States. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or intellectual property. Our failure to effectively protect our
5
intellectual property and our distribution rights could harm our business and negatively impact our revenues, which will reduce our profitability.
Assertions by third parties of infringement by Identica of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and cause our operating results to suffer.
The software and biometric technology industries are characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights and positions, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. Although we are not currently a party to legal action alleging our infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, in the future we may receive letters from various industry participants alleging infringement of patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights. Any lawsuits resulting from such allegations could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights. These lawsuits, regardless of their success, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention, therefore adversely impacting our profitability.
Any potential intellectual property litigation also could force us to do one or more of the following:
·
stop selling products or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property;
·
pay damages to the party claiming infringement;
·
attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; and
·
attempt to redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property.
In the future, the outcome of a dispute may be that we would need to develop non-infringing technology, increasing our research and development expenses, or to enter into royalty or licensing agreements which may increase our cost of goods sold.
If our resellers/integrators do not effectively market our products, we may not generate significant sales, which would adversely affect our revenues and reduce our profits.
To assist in marketing, selling and distributing our products, we have established both formal contract as well as informal relationships with approximately 34 active resellers/integrators. Historically, all of our sales efforts are as a result of these third parties. We believe that establishing a network of resellers/integrators that have extensive and specific knowledge of the various applications in the access control, time and attendance and personal identification industries is important for us to succeed in these market sectors. If we no longer have a relationship with any one of these parties, we do not think there would be a material, negative effect on our business. We cannot assure you that our current or future resellers/integrators will market our products at sufficient levels or provide us with adequate support. If a significant number of our resellers/integrators under-perform, or if a significant number of our marketing re lationships are terminated or otherwise disrupted, our operating performance, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected to such an extent that we might be forced to restructure, sell some of our assets or curtail our operations, any of which would have a detrimental effect on the value of our common stock.
Our officers have no experience in managing a public company, which increases the risk that we will be unable to establish and maintain all required disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and meet the public reporting and the financial requirements for our business.
Our management has a legal and fiduciary duty to establish and maintain disclosure controls and control procedures in compliance with the securities laws, including the requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Although our officers have substantial business experience, they have no experience in managing a public company. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the
6
detailed standards. Because our officers have no prior experience with the management of a public company, we may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered public accounting firm is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accounting firm. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective or provide adequate disclosure controls or implement sufficient control procedures, or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.
We are exposed to potential lawsuits and liabilities associated with the issuance of securities in unregistered transactions during the time in which a public offering had commenced.
The Company offered for sale in a private placement Series “A” preferred stock and warrants while this registration statement was in the process of being reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, based on the information and analysis provided by the company, the staff was unable to concur with the Company’s position that the unregistered offerings should be viewed as separate and distinct from the public resale offering registered under the pending registration statement. The staff was also unable to concur with the Company’s conclusion that the offers and sales of the securities in the applicable unregistered offerings did not involve a public offering.
Accordingly, we could be liable to the purchasers of the $5,000,000 Series “A” preferred shares for rescission of their purchase price as well as other monetary damages (such as legal fees the purchasers would incur in bringing such action) as a result of the issuance of securities in an unregistered transaction while this registration statement was pending and for which a public offering had commenced. While it is impossible to ascertain the actual amount of these damages, if a significant number of our investors brought such actions, it would be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management’s time and attention, thereby adversely affecting our operations. After the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares of this prospectus, we intend to file another registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series “A” preferred stock and exe rcise of the warrants.
We are exposed to possible sanctions from the SEC for violation of Section 12 of the Securities Act.
The Company offered for sale Series “A” preferred stock and warrants while this registration statement was in the process of being reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We could be subject to action by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a result of the issuance of securities in an unregistered transaction while this registration statement was pending. The SEC may conduct an investigation of the Company for violation of Section 12 of the Securities Act. Such SEC investigation could result in injunctive and/or other ancillary relief such as fines and divert management’s attention from this business.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Our principal stockholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interest of our other stockholders.
Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, beneficially own approximately 50.39% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combinations. This concentration of control could be disadvantageous to other stockholders whose interests are different from those of our officers, directors and principal stockholders.
There is a significant risk of our common stockholders being diluted as a result of our outstanding convertible securities.
Although we currently have 11,932,489 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, if all our outstanding warrants, preferred shares and convertible notes were exercised and converted, we would have
7
50,733,061 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, a common stockholder has a significant risk of having its interest in our company being significantly diluted.
The large number of shares eligible for immediate and future sales may depress the price of our stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. As of August 11 , 2008, we had 11,932,489 shares of common stock outstanding; 5,000,000 shares of Series “A” preferred which are convertible into a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock; outstanding convertible notes which are convertible into 2,308,000 shares of common stock; and, warrants which are exercisable into a total of 16,524,572 shares of common stock.
Because we have available a significant number of authorized shares of common stock, we may issue additional shares for a variety of reasons which will have a dilutive effect on our shareholders and on your investment, resulting in reduced ownership and in our company and decreased voting power, or may result in a change of control.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock up to the authorized amount stated in our Articles of Incorporation. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or other types of property, or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control of the company.
Additional financings may dilute the holdings of our current stockholders.
In order to provide capital for the operation of the business, we may enter into additional financing arrangements. These arrangements may involve the issuance of new shares of common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock. Any of these items could result in a material increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interests of existing common stockholders. In addition, these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions and voting rights, which could affect the value of our existing common stock.
Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell when desired.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. Once our common stock becomes eligible for quotation in the OTC bulletin board, we expect that the market price for shares of our common stock to be less than $5.00 per share. The designation of our common stock as a “penny stock” requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose specified information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares. In addition, since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bullet in Board, stockholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of our common stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase our shares or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.
There is currently no public market for our shares and if such a market materializes, our stockholders may still not be able to resell their shares at or above the price at which they purchased their shares.
8
There is currently no established public trading market for our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. We intend to apply for admission to quotation of our securities on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board after this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC. If for any reason our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares may have difficulty selling their common stock should they desire to do so. No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our common stock and none may do so.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
Secondary trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. We will also not receive any proceeds from the exercise of any of the warrants included in this offering as all such warrants have cashless exercise provisions.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
As of the date of this prospectus, there has been no public market for our securities. As of August 11 , 2008, we had 11,932,489 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market. After the date of this prospectus, we expect to have an application filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for our common stock to eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Until our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the selling security holders will be offering our shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per common share. If our shares of common stock become eligible for trading on the Bulletin Board, the selling security holders will sell their shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Such offering price does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. This offering price was determined based on the sales prices of our common stock in private placements we completed, and our business prospects during the next 12 months.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling security holders. Other than as indicated below, none of the selling security holders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. Each of the selling security holders has acquired his, her or its shares pursuant to a private placement solely for investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such securities. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling security holders or from the exercise of the warrant shares being registered in this prospectus. Assuming all the shares registered below are sold by the selling security holders, none of the selling security holders will continue to own any shares of our common stock.
The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered. The percentages below are calculated based on 11,932,489 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of August 11 , 2008.

Common shares gifted by David Clayden, former officer and director of the Company.
We may require the selling security holders to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading. We will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to reflect any material changes to this prospectus.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no market for our securities. After the date of this prospectus, we expect to have an application filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for our common stock to be eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Until our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the selling security holders will be offering our shares of common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per common share. After our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the selling security holders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on OTC Bulletin Board, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. After our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such sales may be at fixed prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the market prices or at negotia ted prices.
Spartan Securities Group. Ltd, as a registered broker-dealer, is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the resale of our securities under this prospectus. Any commissions received by Spartan Securities and any profit on the resale of the shares of our common stock (including the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants) sold by Spartan Securities while acting as principals will be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions. Because it is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, Spartan Securities will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements.
After our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the shares of common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus may be sold by the selling security holders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
17
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
·
privately negotiated transactions;
·
market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws);
·
at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares;
·
through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and
·
a combination of any of the aforementioned methods of sale.
In the event of the transfer by any of the selling security holders of its warrants or shares of common stock to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling security holder who has transferred his, her or its shares.
In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a selling security holder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Before our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a price per share of $1.00. After our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker - -dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling security holder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling security holder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. After our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such re-sales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described above.
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling security holders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
From time to time, any of the selling security holders may pledge shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers. Upon a default by a selling security holder, their broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. After our common stock becomes eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling security holders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act that may be required in the event any of the selling security holders defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.
To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the shares of common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.
18
We and the selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as a selling security holder is a distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock.
All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling security holders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.
Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
When a selling security holder wants to sell shares of common stock under this registration statement, the selling security holders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor's. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise a selling security holder in which states our shares of common stock are exempt from registration for secondary sales.
Any person who purchases shares of common stock from a selling security holder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.
When the registration statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify where registration will be required and where he can rely on an exemption there from.
Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
That a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·
That the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
·
Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·
Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
19
·
Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·
Specifies that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. The Company's property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

Shareholders' Agreement
Each of our three founders, Mr. Terry Wheeler, through his corporation, 1462869 Ontario Inc., Mr. Edward Foster, through his corporation, Faward Consulting Corp. and Mr. Sid Tarek through his corporation SDS-Sonsitar Data Services Inc. (the “Founders”) are parties to a Shareholders' Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2005, to which the Founders agreed not to sell their shares for 12 months commencing from the time the shares are quoted on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board. However, this restriction is automatically lifted after our shares are quoted for 6 months under certain circumstances. After the shares are quoted for 6 months, each Founder can sell not more than 5% of his respective holdings in any given 5-day period, as long as the percentage does not exceed the average trading volume of the shares for the previous 5-day period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of shares held by such Founder and the denominator being 16,666,668. Accordingly, six months after our shares are quoted on the Bulletin Board, the Founders will be able to sell up to 5% of the respective shares depending on the amount of the average trading volume.
The persons indicated in the table of shareholders on page 10 above (see notes 3 through 13 on page 10) who purchased shares in our first private placement are restricted from selling their shares for 6 months from the time the shares are quoted on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board. However, this restriction is automatically lifted during such 6-month period to enable each such shareholder to sell up to 5% of its own holdings in any given 5-day period, provided that such percentage does not exceed the average trading volume of the stock for the previous 5-day period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of shares held by such shareholder
24
and the denominator being 16,666,668. Accordingly, when our shares are quoted on the Bulletin Board, these shareholders will be able to sell up to 5% of their respective shares depending on the amount of the average trading volume.
Currently, the Company has no intention to waive the lockup restrictions for either the Founders or the shareholders.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We are authorized to issue One Hundred and Five Million (105,000,000) shares, which consists of (i) One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) Five Million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of August 11 , 2008, we have issued 11,932,489 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 Series “A” preferred shares.
Each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, without payment of additional consideration, into such number of shares of our common stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price ($1.00) by the conversion price ($0.25). Holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock are protected against dilution as follows: If, subsequent to the date on which shares of the Series “A” Preferred Stock are first issued, the Company shall issue additional shares of common stock at a purchase price lower than $0.25 per share, then the conversion price of the Series “A” Preferred Stock will be adjusted to such lower purchase price. Holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of common stock as a single class, on all matters upon which stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote, with each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock having one vote. The Series “A” Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the common stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the common stock of the Company and any other issue of stock, should there be any, by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to $1.50 per each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock owned by such shareholder plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the Series “A” Preferred Stock.
Holders of our common stock (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, if declared by our board of directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or sinking fund provisions; and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote at all meetings of our stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not provided for in our amended certificate of incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election.
The holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of legally available funds at such times and in such amounts as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding preferred stock and payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of our common stock is, and all shares of common stock to be outstanding upon exercise of the warrants will be, fully p aid and non-assessable.
August 2005, Private Placement - Identica Corp.
In our first private placement which was in Identica Corp. (now Identica Canada Corp.), and which closed in August, 2005, we issued 5,666,668 shares of common stock. These shares were offered and sold in a private placement made to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to the exemption from the registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation S. All the Canadian residents knew one or more of our executive officers.
25
In this private placement, we issued to eRoom System Technologies, Inc. warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock. These warrants are exercisable until May 20, 2010 at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants may be exercised by the payment of cash or the cancellation of the $150,000 principal amount outstanding of a note issued to eRoom System. Said note is secured by all of our assets. The issued shares, warrants were subsequently transferred to us pursuant to the November 18, 2005 Share Exchange Agreement, and note and the security agreement was subsequently transferred to us pursuant to the Asset Purchase and Liability Assumption Agreement dated November 19, 2005 between Identica Corp. and Identica Holdings Corporation.
November 18, 2005, Share Exchange Agreement
On November 18, 2005 we entered into a share exchange agreement with Identica Corp. and the shareholders of Identica Corp. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholders, who in the aggregate owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of Identica Corp's capital stock exchanged their Identica Corp. shares for newly issued shares of common stock of our company in accordance with an exchange ratio of 1:1, so that each issued and outstanding Identica Corp. share was converted into one share of our common stock and Identica Corp. became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Pursuant to such Share Exchange Agreement, we issued 5,666,668 shares of common stock in exchange for all the issued and outstanding stock of Identica Corp. This issuance was made pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
November 2005, Private Placement
Commencing November 2005 through May 2006, we offered and sold 104.7 Units, with each Unit consisting of $10,000 principal amount of the 8% Convertible Notes, due December 31, 2007 (the "Notes") and Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of our common stock until December 31, 2008 at an exercise price of $0.70 cents per share.
Pursuant to the November 25, 2005 Private Placement we have issued convertible notes in the amount of $1,047,000 and warrants which if fully exercised will result in the Company receiving an additional amount of $1,047,000. This offering was conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Interest on the $1,047,000 outstanding principal amount of the Notes is payable quarterly commencing June 30, 2006. All principal and interest is due December 31, 2007. If the closing price of our shares is above $0.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days, we have the right to redeem the Notes at any time prior to the maturity thereof at 100% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest. The holder has the right to convert all or part of the unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Note at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. In addition, on and after June 30, 2006, the holder has the right to require us to purchase all of any portion of the Note for cash on the last business day of the month. We agreed not to incur any further indebtedness or create any new liens or encumbrances unless the Note has priority thereof. The Notes are currently in default as a result of our failure to pay them on December 31, 2007.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we issued 2,110,285 common stock purchase warrants. The Warrants are exercisable until December 31, 2008 at an exercise price of $0.70 cents per share. However, the holders of the Warrants are entitled to exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis because we did not register the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement by November 25, 2006.
Included in the 2,110,285 warrants described above, are 500,000 common stock purchase warrants to Shana Capital, a private equity organization (not a broker-dealer) who introduced us to a number of the investors, and 114,571 to Spartan Securities Group, Ltd. as bonus commission.
The Notes provide that if we fail to file a registration statement within 120 days from the issue date of the Note, we are subject to a penalty of 1% per month on the outstanding balance of the Note. Because we failed to file
26
such a registration statement within such 120 day period, we were subject to the 1% penalty. As of August 11 , 2008, we have accrued $19,576 with respect to such penalty.
The proceeds, net of costs, of $963,400 which we previously received from the sale of our convertible notes were applied as follows:
·
$140,000 to retire debt;
·
$9,332 to purchase fixed assets; and,
·
$814,068 for working capital.
On March 31, 2007, all the Note Holders were offered to reduce the conversion exercise price from $0.35 to $0.25, in exchange for waiving interest on the Notes. Note holders, representing $917,000 of Notes, agreed to reduce the conversion price.
From March 31 to December 31, 2007, Notes valued at $130,000 were repaid, and on September 5, 2007, Notes valued at $340,000 together with their warrants (485,714) and accrued unpaid interest and penalties ($33,000) were converted to 373,000 Series ‘A’ Preferred Shares. As a result of the repayment and conversion, $569,000 in Notes and unpaid interest and penalties totaling $71,536 remain outstanding, and there are 1,624,571 warrant shares still associated with these Notes.
Foreign Private Placement
Pursuant to a private placement in Ontario, dated November 29, 2005, under the Ontario Securities Act "accredited investor" exemption we issued 8% Convertible Notes, due December 31, 2007 (the "Notes") and Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at the price of $0.70 cents per share. Pursuant to the November 29, 2005 Private Placement we have issued convertible notes in the amount of $171,429 and 285,714 warrants which if fully exercised will result in the Company receiving an additional amount of $200,000. The Notes and Warrants issued in the November 2005 and the Notes and Warrants issued in the private placement in Canada are identical. On September 5, 2007, these Notes, along with the warrants and unpaid interest and penalties (totaling $20,000) were exchanged for 200,000 Series ‘A’ Preferred Shares and warrants to purchase 400,000 common shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.
May 2007 Private Placement
In May 2007 we offered 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Series “A” Preferred Stock; each share of Series “A” is convertible to four (4) common shares. The purchase price to be paid to the Company for the Series “A” Preferred Stock was $1.00 per share. Along with the purchase of Series “A” Preferred shares we offered Class “A” Warrants, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share, such warrants to expire on December 31, 2009. Each purchaser received two Class “A” Warrants for each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock purchased. The issuance and sale of the Series “A” Preferred Shares and the Class “A” Warrants was intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provid ed by Section 4(2) of such act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each purchaser would represent to the Company that such purchaser was an accredited investor, and that the transaction did not involve any form of general solicitation or advertising.
From May 2007 through November 2007 we issued 5,000,000 Series “A” Preferred Shares and received cash of $3,927,000. We redeemed $511,429 of convertible notes and at the direction of the note holders, used the proceeds plus accumulated interest and penalty interest of $61,571 to purchase on their behalf 573,000 Series “A” Preferred Shares. At the request of a creditor who had advanced us $500,000 we issued 500,000 Series “A” Preferred Shares to retire said debt. Both the redemption of the convertible notes and the retirement of the debt were in accordance with the May 2007 Series “A” Preferred Stock offering described in the previous paragraph.
There were no underwriters or broker-dealers involved in this private placement and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.
27
The 5,000,000 Series “A” Preferred-Share Private Placement was applied as follows:
·
573,000 Series “A” Preferred shares were exchanged for $573,000 in convertible debt;
·
500,000 Series “A” Preferred shares were exchanged for $500,000 in shareholder debt;
·
$20,139 was used for the purchase of fixed assets;

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our By-laws provide to the fullest extent permitted by law, our directors or officers, former directors and officers, and persons who act at our request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which we are a shareholder or creditor shall be indemnified by us. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our By-laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are a US-based, international manufacturer and distributor of cost-effective, next-generation biometric identification solutions for identifying individuals. Biometric identification is the ability to recognize an individual using a measurable, physical characteristic or personal behavioral trait to recognize the identity, or verify the claimed identity, of that individual. We currently sell a Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner. As discussed below, such scanner uses infrared technology to record an individual's blood vessel (vascular) patterns below the surface of the skin on the back of the hand to create a unique personal template that can then be stored on various media such as plastic smart cards, boarding passes and computing network storage devices (hard drives). Once an individual's
28
pattern has been recorded and stored, when that person subsequently presents the same hand to our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner, and the live vascular pattern is matched to the previously stored template, then the appropriate system performs its required functions (allowing entry to a secure area, logging work time of an individual, and/or verifying a transaction). We also sell proprietary hardware and software which provide the ability to add biometric identification to a variety of systems, such as access control, time and attendance and personal identification systems.
The Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner technology is covered by US patent 6,301,375. Dr. Alex (Hwan-Soo) Choi, the President and CEO of TechSphere Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea, is the inventor of the technology referenced in the patent (the use of the vascular pattern from the back of a person's hand for identity purposes). The patent was assigned to Dr. Choi and BK Systems of Seoul, Korea. BK Systems assigned its United States rights to VeinID of Pasadena, California. VeinID has signed an agreement with TechSphere that contained a non-compete provision that prevented VeinID from engaging, directly or indirectly, in competition with the Vascular Pattern Recognition System in the United States. Consequently, this agreement with VeinID effectively provides TechSphere with exclusive right to use the patent in the United States.
On January 2, 2008 we executed a new exclusive Distribution Agreement with TechSphere Co. Ltd. of South Korea to supply us with the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner and related customization and development services. The Agreement expanded our exclusive distribution of the VP-II technology to include the following territories: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Western and Eastern Europe extending from the United Kingdom to the whole of the Russian Federation, and Israel. The Distribution Agreement provides for expiration on January 1st, 2013, and further provides automatic extension options in increments of three years per extension in perpetuity unless terminated by either party in accordance with the termination clauses contained in the Agreement. The Agreement provides for a five-year cumulative purchase commitment with yearly purchase targets which may be deferred to s ubsequent period(s). Should Identica elect this option, Identica is contractually required to pay TechSphere a proportional amount of the product cost(s) as a “Manufacturer Technical Support Fee”, which must be paid within 15 days of the end of the year. This alternative payment option provides greater cash flow flexibility to Identica as it relates to its timing of future inventory purchase requirements. The annual payment contractually required to maintain the agreement, in lieu of purchasing the entire quota, is as follows: in 2008, $168,033; in 2009, $353,000; in 2010, $461,500; in 2011, $599,950; and, in 2012, $781,000.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
History
We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on November 18, 2005, for the purpose of acquiring and operating the business assets and operations of Identica Canada Corp. (then known as Identica Corp.), an Ontario Canada corporation that had engaged primarily in the selling of biometric security devices since January, 2003.
In August 2004, one of the two shareholders of Identica Canada sold its interest to the other shareholder of the company, 1462869 Ontario Inc., a company affiliated with Mr. Wheeler, our President. Mr. Wheeler then sold 25% of Identica Canada Corp. to Faward Consulting Corp., a company affiliated with Mr. Edward Foster, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mrs. Francine Foster, his wife who is an officer and a director, and 25% to SDS-Sonsitar Services Inc., a company affiliated with Mr. Sid Tarek, a former officer and director of ours.
On April 25, 2005, Identica Canada Corp. (“ICC”) (previously Identica Corp.) purchased reseller agreements, a cash deposit, intangibles, and inventory for a purchase price of $230,000 and assumed some of the liabilities of American Biometrics and Security, Inc., (“ABS”) which was the exclusive distributor of TechSphere products in the United States. Identica Canada Corp. acquired said assets of ABS in order to incent ABS to surrender its territorial distribution rights back to TechSphere. ICC at that time, owned the TechSphere distribution rights in Canada, and desired to expand into the contiguous territory of the United States to enhance its territory, while maintaining economies of scale.Total consideration consisted of $40,000 in cash, $90,000 in a note payable, and $100,000 from the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares of the Company. Upon the closing of the transaction Mr. Clayden became a director of Identica Canada Corp.
29
On May 6, 2005, Identica Canada Corp. signed an exclusive distribution agreement with TechSphere Co., Ltd. of South Korea covering the territories of Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean Islands for the distribution of Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner and customization and development of services. Although the agreement terminates December 31, 2008, we have received written notification from TechSphere dated September 15, 2007 that subject to agreement on structured payments, the Agreement will be extended to 2012 and renewable thereafter in 5-year increments.
On September 7, 2005 we purchased eRoomSystem Web Technologies Package, a(a software package that consists of three platforms -- an internal company intranet, an external corporate internet and a hybrid extranet used by customers and support personnel – from which various software and databases can be accessed), office equipment (such as desks, bookcases, filing cabinets, chairs and oscilliscopes) and computers from eRoom System Services, Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of eRoomSystem Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ERMS.OB)which is one of our initial investors and creditors. The consideration for such purchase was $60,000 payable in full within 12 months. At that time, we assumed the lease obligation eRoom had for an office suite located at 3855 South 500 West, Suite A, Salt Lake City, Utah. Subsequent to the expiry of that lease on December 31, 2006, Identica Holdings Corporation leased the same premises from Seventeenth Industrial, L.L.C. (an unrelated company).
On November 18, 2005, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Identica Canada Corp. and its stockholders, who in the aggregate owned all of the outstanding and issued shares of its capital stock. Pursuant to such agreement, the stockholders of Identica Canada Corp. exchanged their respective shares of Identica Canada Corp. for newly issued shares of common stock of our Company in accordance with an exchange ratio of 1:1, so that each issued and outstanding share of Identica Canada Corp. was exchanged for 1 share of common stock of our Company. As a result of the consummation of such transactions, the stockholders of Identica Canada Corp. became the stockholders of our Company, and Identica Canada Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company.
Effective August 15, 2006, Mr. Clayden resigned from all his positions in our company. In September 2006, Mr. Clayden gifted 250,000 of his common shares in our Company to various Identica employees and consultants. In December 2006 we purchased from Mr. Clayden his remaining 3,750,000 common shares for $281,250.
The Biometrics Industry
Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of identification is preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and PIN numbers for various reasons, including:
i.
The person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point-of-identification; and
ii.
Identification based on biometric techniques is undeniable since the characteristic is unique to the individual being recognized,
With the increased use of computers as vehicles of information technology, it is necessary to restrict access to sensitive/personal data. By replacing PINs, biometric techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized access to or fraudulent use of ATMs, cellular phones, smart cards, desktop PCs, workstations, and computer networks. Using biometrics for personal authentication reduces the reliance on tokens and pass-cards and eliminates the need to memorize strings of letters required to access important information and resources.
The need for biometrics can be found in federal, state and local governments, in the military, and in commercial applications. Enterprise-wide network security infrastructures, government IDs, investing and other financial transactions, retail, law enforcement, and health and social services are all benefiting from these technologies, according to Dr. Stephen Elliott, Purdue University, Biometric Standards, Assurance and Standards Laboratory.Modi, S.

Identica Products and Services
Our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner was developed by TechSphere Co., Ltd. of South Korea (TechSphere), and was subsequently modified by TechSphere to specifically meet our technical and marketing requirements. We have integrated our proprietary Universal Controller Version 2 with the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner, added a communication device (the T-Module), our software (IONcontrol), our Software Development Kits (SDKs) to provide our customers with the ability to add biometric identification (which is the ability to recognize an individual using a measurable, physical characteristic or personal behavioral trait to recognize the identity, or verify the claimed identity, of that individual) to a variety of Access Control, Time and Attendance, and Personal Identification systems such as credit cards, passports, driver's licenses, etc., and we have also developed our proprietary automated protective device (the WeatherShield), which allows biometric identific ation in adverse environmental conditions such as extreme heat, cold, and pollutants.

Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner |
|
|
|
| Our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner uses infrared technology to record an individual's blood vessel (vascular) patterns below the surface of the skin on the back of the hand to create a unique personal template that can then be stored on various media such as plastic smart cards, boarding passes and computing network storage devices (hard drives). Each individual's vascular pattern is unique and is not capable of being duplicated, even in identical twins. Once an individual's pattern has been recorded and stored, when that person subsequently presents the same hand to our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner, and the live vascular pattern is matched to the previously stored template, then the appropriate system performs its required functions (allowing entry to a secure area, logging work time of an individual, and/or verifying a transaction). |
Universal Controller Version 2 |
| VP-II S w/ UC-2 UC-2 Interior |
| |
|
| Our Universal Controller Version 2 is an integration device which seamlessly allows the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner to integrate with any organization's Access Control, Time and Attendance, and Personal Identification systems.
To accomplish this seamless integration, our Universal Controller Version 2 is constructed with multiple input/output communications connections supporting: |
|
·
Wiegand communications (the traditional communications language for access control systems).
·
Multiple connections allowing the acceptance of information from:
§
Proximity cards (traditional ID entry cards);
§
Smart Cards (plastic cards with memory capable of storing large amounts of data);
§
MagStripe readers;
§
Barcode scanners; and
§
Touch Screen terminals
·
TCP/IP (The universal communications method used by modern computing networks)
T-Module |
|
|
|
| Our T-Module acts as a communication device for installations which may not require all of the functions of our Universal Controller Version 2. |
|
|
|
32
WeatherShield |
|
|
|
| Our proprietary WeatherShield was developed by Identica to provide protection for the VP-II S system in extreme temperature and environmental conditions. Its automated functions, door opens/closes, external smart/prox card recognition, and photo-electric eye, all work together to allow users to easily utilize the biometric functions provided by the VP-II S biometric identification. |
IONcontrol Software
We designed and developed our IONcontrol software to operate with our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner, Universal Communications Controller Version 2, and T-Module to allow our customers to organize and manage stored hand vascular patterns. IONcontrol also provides reports which describe activities such as entry to controlled areas, attendance information, enrollment information (names, addresses, employee numbers, restrictions, etc.).
Below is an illustration of the layout of the operating components of IONcontrol working with our T-Module and Vascular Recognition Scanner. The IONcontrol software service and MySQL data base are shown in the large box along with the Apache WEB service (a component of the operating environment). The small box to the right represents the WEB browser based User Interface (“UI”) to the software.
Our resellers/integrators and customers can incorporate our products into fully integrated, seamless biometric systems. Typical systems include:
·
Access Control - Seamless integration of Identica's enrollment, biometric template and database management abilities;
33
·
Time and Attendance - Integration with most existing Time and Attendance and Payroll Systems to replace traditional time clocks to track employees' attendance, eliminate buddy-punching, and provide undeniable real-time management reporting;
·
Personal Identification Systems - Integration into any industry application that requires undeniable user credentials, such as: border control, immigration cards, airline boarding passes, Automated Teller Machines and Point of Sale processes.

Our Identica Technical Expertise Center, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is currently made up of computer consultants and engineers who will provide a number of professional services to Identica customers. Through this subsidiary, we can manage the implementation of our hardware and software products, maintain high customer satisfaction levels, and provide our customers with a “full service” approach to their biometric needs and requirements.
Professional Services offered through our Identica Technical Expertise Center include:
·
Customized Solutions, tailored to the industry/client specific requirements;
·
Integration of existing customer legacy systems;
·
Project Management of the full implementation and ongoing support of our solutions;
·
Support for our channels business partners; and
·
Integration of new and evolving technologies to enhance Identica product(s) offering.
Our Professional Services organization will multi-task by supporting internal requirements, product(s) development and direct support of our paying customers. The group will maintain its margins by sub-contracting when appropriate and when required.
Our marketing partners and end-user organizations can incorporate our hardware and software products into fully integrated, seamless biometric systems using our Solution Developments Kits (SDKs).
Given the variety of systems which can be constructed from the components described above, two examples of suggested implementations are shown below:
The configuration below illustrates the use of our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanners attached to our T-Modules via Serial RS232 communications protocol and further attached to our IONcontrol Software via TCP-IP (the modern computer communications language). When users wish to enter secure areas through a number of doors they present their hands to the Vascular Pattern Recognition System, their live hands' vascular pattern is matched to a previously stored template within our IONcontrol Software and if there is a match the T-module will unlock the door. Also various other devices can be attached to the system: i.e. Alarms etc.
34
The configuration below illustrates the retrofitting of an existing Access Control System to make it biometrically enabled. Template input for matching can be: smart card; encrypted barcode; or fingerprint reader. All of the above templates are presented to the Universal Controller version 2 and a living hand is presented to our Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner, the entry request is noted in IONcontrol and the successful match is transmitted to the existing Access Control system via Wiegand Protocol (the communications protocol used by many existing Access Control Systems).
We have identified three major market areas to focus upon Access Control; Time and Attendance; and, Personal Verification. Access Control is the ability control the access to restricted areas. An organization may wish to selectively restrict individuals' access to a building or areas within a building. Time and Attendance is the ability to track the amount of time an individual is at work. This function is usually used for payroll and/or job costing. By using Biometrics for Time and Attendance employers are assured that the individual “clocking in and out” is specifically identified. Personal Verification is the ability to link a specific individual to an action. By adding a biometric component to an event or transaction the individual associated with the event or action can be specifically identified, greatly reducing identity theft.
Currently, most of our concentration has been and will continue to be in Access Control. However, the Time and Attendance business, including job costing (the tracking of time for a specific individual on a specific task or job for accounting purposes) will continue to be a target for us. The Personal Verification business (ATM's, POS,
35
border security) is by far the largest potential market, but also the market with the longest lead times. Our current focus is 70% Access Control; 20% Time and Attendance and 10% Personal Verification. This emphasis will change as we achieve market penetration and sales volumes. We believe that there will also be a growing overlap as the marketplace recognizes that Access Control (through building automation) can, and will trigger the other areas. Once our sales volume exceeds $200,000 monthly via our existing market concentrations as above stated, we will have the liquidity to pursue what we believe will be a larger and more lucrative market, that of personal verification.
Until we achieve going concern status we will continue our existing focus on Access Control and to some extent Time and Attendance as these areas require minimal further expenditures for research and development, and presently we have the distribution system already in place to continue our focus on these aspects.

International Biometrics Market and Industry Report 2007-2012, published January 2007. www.biometricgroup.com/reports/public/market_report.html
We have formal marketing arrangements with various resellers/integrators in the United States. These agreements grant such third parties, ranging from medium-sized regional companies to major international corporations, the non-exclusive right to sell our products. Under these agreements, we provide the marketing and promotional material as well as technical assistance to the reseller or end-use customer as required.
Market Objective
Our first market objective is to achieve brand recognition. To achieve this goal, we attend major industry trade shows and we couple our brand and our technology with significant suppliers of security technology. In 2006, we attended 7 trade shows and in 2007 we attended 14 trade shows. We were invited to exhibit our solutions in three major suppliers' booths: HID, Johnson Controls and Lockheed Martin. HID is a proximity and smart card vendor (HID is not a reseller, but HID has recognized that Identica's smart card solution will greatly enhance HID's sale of smart cards by appointing us a “HID Connect partner”). At an HID seminar, held as an adjunct to the ASIS show, we won one of HID's significant innovation awards. HID is the principal supplier of smart cards and OEM smart card readers to us. Johnson Controls has more sales offices and representatives in North American than any other of our resellers, giving them a broad coverage of our market area. Lockheed Martin, a major defense contractor, has invited us to exhibit our biometric products in their show booths.
Currently, we have three Sales Advisors in the United States and two in Canada. A Sales Advisor is a specially trained Sales / Technical representative, whose function it is to first engage Reseller senior management and once Reseller management has agreed to represent our Biometric Products to their customer base, work as a specialist with the Reseller's sales force to train them on how to sell our products.
Research and Development
During fiscal 2007, we spent $312,381, and in fiscal 2006 we spent $156,209 on Research and Development, none of which was borne directly by our customers.
Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
We are one of the smallest companies in the biometric identification business. In vascular biometric identification, our core technology, we are significantly smaller than Hitachi and Fujitsu. Both Hitachi and Fujitsu are concentrating on desktop connected solutions rather than Access Control and Bionics and Aion are selling hardware devices rather than a packaged Access Control solution.
36
Except for Bioscrypt Inc. (a major competitor of ours in Access Control) most of our competitors provide “fingerprint” based products that are sold as components and not as an overall Access Control solution. Bioscrypt provides a fingerprint-based solution integrated with communication hardware and software for both Access Control and Time and Attendance.
We compete with others in our industry based upon the uniqueness of our patented vascular technology which utilizes the vascular pattern of the back of the hand for unique individual identification, packaged with our proprietary UC-2 communications and smartcard reader and/or our T-Module control unit, our IONcontrol proprietary software and our automated outdoor enclose the Weather Shield.
We position ourselves to our markets as a solutions provider rather than as a device supplier. Our Salt Lake City-based Technical Expertise Center is staffed with individuals who are capable of designing and implementing biometric solutions for our customers.
Our principal method of achieving industry recognition is through the attendance at numerous trade shows and attempting to heighten public awareness of our company and our products through press releases and articles in our industry’s trade magazines.
Our sales are conducted through direct contact with end use customers, and, more recently through our resellers/integrators. Our intention is to continue to promote our products through trained resellers/integrators as they become more aware of the advantages of our products compared to our competitors’ offerings.
Competitors
The principle competitors to Identica's product offerings are the following:
Hand Geometry
Recognition Systems Inc. (RSI) (a division of the Ingersoll Rand company) Hand Geometry technology measures the geometry of a user's hand comparing finger length, width, thickness and surface area to compare the hand to a stored template. Hand Geometry is an old technology that has already been on the market for 10 years. The Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner is a next generation technology that offers significant advantages over hand geometry, most notably: accuracy, security, speed, device appearance/size and hygiene.
Recognition Systems (Ingersoll Rand) is located at 1520 Dell Ave., Campbell, CA 95008 and has a Web site atwww.handreader.com.
Iris Recognition
Iridian Technologies iris recognition product uses its iris algorithm and cameras to extract a biometric template from a human iris. Iris recognition is known for its very low False Acceptance Rates (FAR) and has been sold primarily in high security Access Control applications. However, it is also known for its high cost, complicated operation and difficulty with eye contacts/glasses that result in high False Rejection Rates (FRR). Users are also very uncomfortable with using eye based biometric technology.
Iridian Technologies is located at 125 Church St. Suite 3, Moorestown NJ 08057, and has a Web site at www.iridiantech.com.
Fingerprint Algorithms and Devices
The first fingerprint biometric technology has been available for thirty years and as a result there are many fingerprint algorithm and sensor developers and manufacturers on the market. Fingerprint biometric sensors have been built-in to many products including Access Control, Time and Attendance and Single Sign-On. The Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner technology provides many advantages over fingerprint sensors due to high fingerprint False Rejection Rates (FFR) resulting from users with dry, worn or contaminated fingerprints as well as hygiene and privacy issues.

Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements, such as statements relating to our anticipated revenues, gross margin and operating results, future performance and operations, plans for future expansion, capital spending, sources of liquidity and financing sources. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to our liquidity requirements, the continued growth of the biometrics industry, the success of our product-development, marketing and sales activities, vigorous competition in the biometrics industry, dependence on existing management, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctua tions in interest rates), domestic or global economic conditions, the inherent uncertainty and costs of prolonged arbitration or litigation, and changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws.
Overview
Since commencing operations as Identica Corp. in Canada in 2003, the company has evolved into a global distributor and manufacturer of biometric identification based products with an expanding customer base consisting of governmental (port authorities, police departments), industrial and entertainment companies (casinos), banks, military and educational institutions. Our present product line permits us to provide products and services that: 1)
39
secure access control; 2) provide time and attendance management; and, 3) allow credential verification – the three major objectives of our clientele seeking biometric based identification solutions to their security issues.
Our core product is a vascular pattern recognition scanner (the VP-II S) patented by TechSphere Co., Ltd. of Seoul, Korea (US patent # 6301375) and provided to Identica via a distributorship agreement that permits near-global distribution. The vascular scanner utilizes near-infrared technology to capture and record an individual’s blood vessel (vascular) pattern below the surface of the skin at the back of the hand to create a unique personal template that is then stored on storage devices including computer data base hard drives, specialized memory devices, smart cards, two-dimensional bar codes, etc.
On January 2, 2008 we executed a new exclusive Distribution Agreement with TechSphere Co. Ltd. of South Korea to supply us with the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner and related customization and development services. The Agreement expanded our exclusive distribution of the VP-II technology to include the following territories: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Western and Eastern Europe extending from the United Kingdom to the whole of the Russian Federation, and Israel. The Distribution Agreement provides for expiration on January 1st, 2013, and further provides automatic extension options in increments of three years per extension in perpetuity unless terminated by either party in accordance with the termination clauses contained in the Agreement. The Agreement provides for a five-year cumulative purchase commitment with yearly purchase targets which may be deferred to subsequent period(s). Should Identica elect this option, Identica is contractually required to pay TechSphere a proportional amount of the product cost(s) as a “Manufacturer Technical Support Fee”, which must be paid within 15 days of the end of the year. This alternative payment option provides greater cash flow flexibility to Identica as it relates to its timing of future inventory purchase requirements. The annual payment contractually required to maintain the agreement, in lieu of purchasing the entire quota, is as follows: in 2008, $168,033; in 2009, $353,000; in 2010, $461,500; in 2011, $599,950; and, in 2012, $781,000.
Identica has expanded its product line beyond the core vascular hand scanner by developing and manufacturing two peripheral products: a proprietary universal controller (UC-2), which allows the scanner to integrate with any organization’s access control, time and attendance and/or personal identification systems; and, a communication device (T-module) which permits template storage to be maintained either on- and/or off-premises and to be efficiently transmitted via computer internet to allow nearly simultaneous matching between the vascular hand pattern scan and the on- or off-site stored template data base. Identica has also developed a proprietary temperature-controlled “WeatherShield” device that encapsulates the hand scanner device and the peripheral products into a weather proof unit that permits the use of the scanner in adverse climatic and environmental conditions. Our current product line also includ es our proprietary IONcontrol software that allows our customers to organize and manage stored hand vascular templates as well as providing reports to management describing activities such as entry in controlled areas, attendance information, enrollment information, etc.
Risks and Challenges Addressed by Management
The current management of Identica has been in place since August 2004. Since that time, management has been required to manage a technology-oriented business in a rapidly expanding biometric identification marketplace. The attendant risks which management constantly has to define and evaluate include: technology risks, such as whether the product offerings perform to specifications; market risks, such as market maturity to accept our products and whether the products meet market requirements as well as attempting to attract qualified integrators/resellers; and the management of growth, including being unable to establish effective policies and procedures; unable to attract, hire and train new productive personnel; unable to establish appropriate additional locations; and, unable to meet customer expectations due to rapid growth.
Awareness of our risks has directed management to meet its challenges by spearheading the development of new products designed to extend product capabilities, executing the manufacturing of its proprietary products and bringing said products to market by forming relationships with OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and product resellers, and attempting to balance growth with our capital resources. We believe that we have successfully addressed our market place risks in part, by forming additional relationships with integrators/resellers and alliance partners. We have also stayed attuned to and capitalized upon opportunities to extend our distribution territory as
40
well as our product line, while being alert to the ever changing demands of the security customer community and attempting to satisfy their needs via new product development.
Other relevant management challenges include monitoring our competition; retaining and expanding our key personnel, both from a technology and sales perspective; and, continuing to promote effective team building.
Liquidity remains a challenge for management. Monitoring revenues and controlling day-to-day expenses requires constant vigilance. The process of raising capital is time consuming and distracts management’s focus from operations. To meet this challenge management has focused the activities of our CEO, Edward Foster to ensure the necessary funds are available. Our President, Terry Wheeler, has concentrated his efforts on operations; however, both executives are intensely involved in all aspects of our Company’s activities.
We are mindful of management’s lack of experience in operating a public company. We are additionally aware of the need to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures in complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the additional restrictions and controls imposed by the accounting industry in response to Sarbanes-Oxley, and the standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting are new and complex, and require significant documentation and testing to meet the new detailed requirements. For us to ensure that we meet these requirements, we have engaged the consulting services of an external risk management and operational procedures consultant to work with us in establishing financial controls which will meet the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.
The Company offered for sale in a private placement Series “A” preferred stock and warrants while this registration statement was in the process of being reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, based on the information and analysis provided by the company, the staff was unable to concur with the Company’s position that the unregistered offerings should be viewed as separate and distinct from the public resale offering registered under the pending registration statement. The staff was also unable to concur with the Company’s conclusion that the offers and sales of the securities in the applicable unregistered offerings did not involve a public offering.
Accordingly, we could be liable to the purchasers of the $5,000,000 Series “A” preferred shares for rescission of their purchase price as well as other monetary damages (such as legal fees the purchasers would incur in bringing such action) as a result of the issuance of securities in an unregistered transaction while this registration statement was pending and for which a public offering had commenced. While it is impossible to ascertain the actual amount of these damages, if a significant number of our investors brought such actions, it would be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management’s time and attention, thereby adversely affecting our operations. After the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares of this prospectus, we intend to file another registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series “A” preferred stock and exe rcise of the warrants.
Accordingly, we could be subject to an investigation by the Staff which could result in injunctive and other ancillary relief such as fines. Additionally, management’s attention would be diverted by such action, requiring management’s time and attention from operations to resolve such issues.
With regard to new products in planning or development stages, we intend to introduce additional biometric identification devices, software, security cameras, communication devices and protocols to our product line. We are actively examining new technologies in biometrics to determine if these new technologies will add value to our present offerings. To address the challenge of expanding our product offering, we have recently entered into discussions with a facial recognition software developer as well as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) supplier.
To meet the challenges presented by our current customers’ requirements, we have maintained our focus on our core product, the Vascular Scanner (VP-II S). We have been able to enhance the usefulness of the VP-II S by adding software, communications ability and a controller device that extends the versatility of the scanner and makes it compatible with the wide range of computer-based security systems, and allows remote data storage and retrieval of the vascular templates. We have designed and built a temperature controlled weatherproof shield to ensure the devices’ ability to operate out-of-doors in all types of climatic and environmental conditions.
41
We have extended our sales and distribution territory from Canada alone at inception to the United States, Mexico, Central/South America, the Caribbean Islands, Europe, Israel and the Russian Federation. We have resident sales associates in the United States, Canada and Europe.
We have retained both our vision and our conviction that vascular biometric identification will gain worldwide acceptance and be competitive, and provide solutions superior to other types of biometric identification products. We still believe that the new global business, governmental and industrial communities would continue to seek out a methodology to make their operations and products safer and more secure in an increasing security conscious global environment. We feel that we are well positioned for growth in the last calendar quarter of 2007, and assuming incremental growth of trial product placement together with conversion of existing trials to permanent product implementation, we anticipate continued revenue expansion in 2008.
Plan of Operations
Beginning January 2006 we have broadened our efforts to include sales to strategic end-use customers in selected vertical markets: transportation; banking; law enforcement; entertainment and hospitality; health care; manufacturing; retail security; and, government. Our noted sales successes for 2007 include for example: the Port of Halifax, in Nova Scotia, Canada ($117,769); the Cruise Port of Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada ($84,300); the Ho Chunk Nation in Wisconsin ($34,060); the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada ($18,832); the University of South Dakota ($16,485); and, the army of Colombia in South America ($11,216). We expect continued orders from all of the named customers.
As part of our increased marketing efforts, we have expanded our sales advisory group with the addition of strategically geographically located individuals with Access Control, Time and Attendance and/or Personal Verification industry experience. We have hired a security industry-experienced Executive Vice-president to manage our Global Sales initiatives, and a Vice-president of North American Sales. We plan to hire at least three additional Sales Advisors in the United States and one in Canada, to meet the growing demand for training and sales support for our Reseller/Integrator network.

Material Trends Discussion
Identica’s essential strategy for positioning itself in the biometrics industry is to continue its ongoing educational process in distinguishing its products i.e. vascular biometrics, from its competition: fingerprint, retinal and hand geometry. This is accomplished via attendance and demonstrations at trade shows, and educating its resellers as to the marketing merits of vascular biometrics in circumstances where other biometric products are insufficient or inappropriate to fit the specific situation.
Identica’s sales have trended upwards in each succeeding financial period since inception. We believe that this upward trend is the direct result of increased sales efforts by integrators/resellers, direct sales to end-use customers, and the existence of the peripheral products we have developed (all of which extend the range and usability of the core scanner product), including the UC2 controller, the T-module communications device and the WeatherShield.
Cost of Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2007, our cost of revenues increased by $328,572 to $447,076 from $118,504 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in our cost of revenues is a direct result of our increase in sales for the year ended December 31, 2007, $439,439, as compared to the volume of units sold in the year ended December 31, 2006, $111,088.
Research and development
In accordance with SFAS 2, research and development costs have been expensed as incurred. For the period ended December 31, 2006, research and development expenses totaled $156,209; for the period ended December 31, 2007, research and development expenses were $312,381. None of these expenses were borne directly by our customers.
In accordance with SFAS 2, research and development costs have been expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, research and development expenses totaled $73,095; during the three months ended March 31, 2008, no research and development was performed. None of these expenses were borne directly by our customers.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $730,188 to $2,589,565. The substantial increase in overall operating expenses was due to significant increases in expenditures related to expansion in Central and South America and an increase in the number of our support staff in Salt Lake City, with the exception of selling expenses which decreased to $260,206 in 2007 compared to $276,009 in 2006. General and administrative expenses increased to $2,016,978 in 2007 as compared to $1,427,159 in 2006; research and development expenses $312,381 in 2007 compared to $156,209 in 2006. The increase in operating expenses was due to the increase in research and development activities and general and administrative activities including the expansion of our Salt Lake City employee complement, the addition of Corporate in-house counsel, the accounting and legal costs associated with the filing of the registration statements and amendme nts, travel costs associated with customer support, directly related to our operations as provided in our Plan of Operations.
Other income and expense
Interest and financing expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased by $140,549 to $122,809 from $263,358 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the cessation of interest due to the note holders from the private placements which commenced November 2005. These note holders have agreed to waive further interest past March 31, 2007 in exchange for a reduction in conversion price from $.35 per share to $.25 per share.
Net loss
We incurred a net loss of $2,662,288 for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $2,085,601 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in net loss was due to the scaling up of research and
43
development activities and the decrease in sales expenses and increase in general and administrative activities directly related to our United States operations as provided in our Plan of Operations.
Going Concern
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have expressed the opinion that the Company’s recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, we have been engaged in product development and pre-operational activities. We have incurred total comprehensive losses of $2,568,410 as of December 31, 2007 and $2,112,497 as of December 31, 2006 and negative operating cash flows of $2,889,959 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $1,770,947 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Continuation of our existence is dependent on our ability to generate sales and achieve sustained profitable operations. The uncertainty related to these conditions raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. However, since March 2007 we have raised additional capital from our issuance of our Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock of net cash $3,927,000 after repayment of $1,073,000 in debt obligations. Historically, the major source of cash for the Company has been the sale of its equity to investors. During the next 12 months, we hope to be able to generate additional revenue from increased sales of our identification solutions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 reflects current assets of $1,045,244 consisting of the following items: Cash $12,360; accounts and other receivables $186,845; inventories $340,808; prepaid inventories $273,680; deposits $125,000; deferred financing fees $58,125 prepaid expenses $33,426; and notes receivable $15,000. Total assets were $1,173,824, consisting of the following items: Current Assets $1,045,244; equipment $78,876; notes receivable $18,052; and, intangibles $31,652. Total liabilities were $1,180,041 consisting of the following: accounts payable and accrued liabilities $196,041; notes payable $415,000; and, convertible debentures $569,000. In addition, the convertible debentures are past due, and we currently owe the debenture holders $569,000 in principal, $14,540 in accrued interest and $19,576 in penalties.
The increase in working capital for the year ended December 2006 to December 2007 is $2,036,540 resulted materially from additional raising of capital during the period. Depreciation and amortization results from the policy of depreciating fixed assets over their useful life varying from 3 to 10 years and amortizing the intangible TechSphere Distribution asset over 5 years ($17,520).
We estimate that within the next 12 months we will need $2,016,000 for operations, and we do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet this requirement. There is no assurance that we will achieve our projected revenue level of approximately $200,000 per month over the next twelve months. In the event that we cannot maintain monthly operational revenue sufficient to pay our expenditures, we are prepared to reduce our administrative overhead, reduce our marketing and public relations expenditures, and attempt to raise additional capital by approaching our existing investors to obtain additional private funding. If we are unable to cut expenses to earn profits or raise additional debt or equity capital we will have to discontinue operations.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, recently released by the Securities and Exchange Commission, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The notes to the consolidated financial statements include a summary of significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, Financial Reporting Release No. 61 was recently released by the SEC requires all companies to include a discussion which addresses, among other things, liquidity, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and commercial commitments. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by us.
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. The most significant estimates relate to our recognition of revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory valuation reserves.
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 are recognized in the period that services are provided. For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sale s are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered, the trial period if any, has expired, or no refund will be required.
SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21 on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Sales include revenue generated from products shipped, including shipping and handling fees, less returns and sales allowances. Returns and sales allowances are for damaged goods and anticipated customer returns. The Company’s sales terms include a return policy of 60 days. As of December 31, 2007 and as of August 11 , 2008, there were no outstanding “rights of return”. Because of our limited experience with sales, returns and allowances, as well as its impact on revenue recognition, the Company has, as of January 1, 2008, revised its accounting policies, and adopted a more fiscally conservative approach to revenue recognition. The Company will no longer book nor recognize revenue until all end-use customer return periods are expired. (Generally, the customer has a 30-60 day right of return period.) As we do not permit returns or make refunds after the expiration of this period, revenue recognition on end-use customer sales will be deferred until after the specific right to return period expires,
45
and we reasonably ascertain the customer is satisfied with their installation. On a limited basis, we also anticipated the use of cooperative advertising and other sales incentives with certain of our customers. Charges for cooperative advertising and sales incentives will be recorded as advertising expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred.
During the period January 21, 2003 to December 31, 2007, there have been no material changes in the assumptions underlying these critical accounting policies, or to the related significant estimates. The results of our business underlying these assumptions have not differed significantly from our expectations.
While we believe that the estimates that we have made are proper and the related results of operations for the period are presented fairly in all material respects, other assumptions could reasonably be justified that would change the amount of reported net sales, cost of sales, operating expenses or our provision for income taxes as they relate to the provisions for anticipated sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence reserve and income taxes. For the period November 19, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2007, had these estimates been changed simultaneously by 3% in either direction, our reported revenues would have increased or decreased by approximately $4,000 and the collective impact of these changes on operating income, net earnings and net earnings per diluted common share would be immaterial.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their estimated realizable value including reserves for customer allowances and incentives. A considerable amount of judgment is required when we assess the realization of accounts receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional provision for doubtful accounts could be required. We initially record a provision for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience, and then adjust this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of our accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, we consider: (i) the aging of the accounts receivable; (ii) trends within and ratios involvin g the age of the accounts receivable; (iii) the customer mix in each of the aging categories and the nature of the receivable; (iv) our historical provision for doubtful accounts; (v) the credit worthiness of the customer; and (vi) the economic conditions of the customer’s industry as well as general economic conditions, among other factors. We have not experienced any write-offs of uncollected accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories consist almost entirely of finished goods. We account for inventory using a first-in-first-out system in which we record inventory on our balance sheets at the lower of our cost or net realizable value. A product’s cost is comprised of the amount that we pay our manufacturer for product, tariffs and duties associated with transporting product across national borders and freight costs associated with transporting the product from our manufacturers to our warehouse locations. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value in lieu of cost, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs. The Cost of goods sold line item on the Statements of Operations is comprised of the book value (lower of cost or net realizable value) of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period. We currently have pre-purchased sufficient inventory to meet the sales projections for the first three quarters of 2008 and have made adjustments to inventory for obsolescence or slow moving goods.
Stock-Based Compensation
The FASB issued SFAS No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-replacing SFAS 123.” This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In addition, this statement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option. The Company has adopted these annual disclosure provisions in its financial
46
reports.
Accounting for Convertible Notes and Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features
Following guidance by EITF 00-27 the Company allocates proceeds received from convertible notes and/or securities first to warrants granted to the note holders. The value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature are recorded on the balance sheet as a debt discount and as an increase to shareholders equity. The discounts are amortized over the life of the loans.
In accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27, the amount of beneficial conversion is determined at the commitment date of each debt instrument as the difference between the stated conversion price within the instrument and the fair market value at the date of the draw-down on the debt instrument.

However, Mr. Cruz is entitled to exercise these warrants on a cashless basis because we did not register the shares of common stock underlying the warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement within 12 months after issuance (or August 16, 2007). The warrants are exercisable until December 31, 2010. Such issuance was made in consideration for services provided to us through date of issuance. There was no agreement to provide future service in exchange for the securities issued.
On November 1, 2007 the Company created an Advisory Board. In its resolution the Board noted that the emerging technology of vascular biometrics needs greater exposure to business, governmental and industrial leaders to facilitate its establishment as an accepted and reliable security device. Consequently, to assist in the promotion of vascular biometrics, products in general, and specifically Identica’s vascular scanner, the Board of Directors has seen fit to create this Advisory Board to help accelerate the recognition and acceptance of vascular biometrics in the commercial community. Compensation for Advisory Board members is in the form of Warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The initial Advisory Board members, Jacob D. Gold and Andrew Schonzeit, have been issued such Warrants in the respective amounts of 150,000 shares and 100,000 shares as of November 2, 2007.
We believe that the terms of all of the above transactions are commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party on an arm's length basis. Our policy requires that all related parties recuse themselves from negotiating and voting on our behalf in connection with related party transactions.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Admission to Quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board
We intend to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it:
(1) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and
(2) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the "specialist" common to stock exchanges.
49
To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. We have an agreement with Spartan Securities Group, Ltd. a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Company listing. If it meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board until a future time, if at all, that we apply and qualify for admission to quotation on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. We may not now and it may never qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or be accepted for listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.
Our Transfer Agent
We have appointed Island Capital Management, LLC, with offices at 100 Second Avenue South, Suite 104N, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701, phone number 727-502-0508 as transfer agent for our shares of common stock. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our shares of common stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of common stock nor do we anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we expect to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and expansion. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings levels, capital requirements, any restrictive loan covenants and other factors the Board considers relevant.
As of August 11 , 2008, the shareholders' list of our shares of common stock showed 21 registered shareholders and 11,932,489 shares outstanding.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Identica Holdings
Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Identica Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) , and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007. Identica Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Identica Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

IDENTICA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1.
Nature of Operation and Going Concern
Identica Holdings Corporation (the “Company” or “Identica Holdings”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2005. On November 18, 2005, the Company purchased the assets and liabilities of Identica Corp, a company registered in Ontario, Canada, including all the outstanding shares of Identica Corp. USA, Inc. On March 10, 2006, Identica Corp changed its name to Identica Canada Corp.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. For the year ended December, 2007 and 2006, the Company experienced net losses of $2,662,288 and $2,085,601, respectively. At December 31, 2007 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,649,077, and working capital of $197,830. Management’s plans include securing additional debt or equity financing and continuing its efforts to increase sales of its products.
The Company began to execute its business strategy on November 18, 2005. These activities included the acquisition of Identica Canada Corp. which acquired certain assets of America Biometrics and Security Inc. on April 25, 2005. The Company has also commenced installations with strategic market resellers in the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to attain profitable operations or secure financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
a)
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Identica USA Corp, Inc”), (“Identica Canada Corp.”), and (Identica Corp. TEC, Inc.). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
b)
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid debt investments with original maturities of ninety days or less when purchased, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. At times throughout the year cash may exceed federally insured limits.
d)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non-interest-bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Accounts receivable in excess of 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the oldest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects Identica Holdings' best estimate of the amounts that may not be collected.

Discount on Debt-Relative Fair Value of Warrants
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 14 (APB14) “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, states the total proceeds from the issuance of debt with detachable stock purchase warrants should be allocated to the warrants and debt based on their relative fair values.
i)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements: (“SAB No. 104”) upon shipment of goods provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is probable. Sales are recognized when any right of return, if any, has expired. Sales where no right of return exists are recognized upon shipment of goods. Revenues from service sales are recognized as service is provided. In 2007, two customers accounted for 53% of the Company’s sales.
j)
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company includes shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold which are expensed when incurred. Total shipping and handling costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $60,332 and $17,046, respectively.
k)
Use of Estimates
Preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and action the company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such changes will materially affect the consolidated financial statements in the year of adjustment.

l)
Financial Instruments
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. SFAS No. 105, “Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk”, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration.
m)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period is increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
n)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation to employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the company’s stock is measured on the date of grant or the date an option/warrant is granted. The company determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted the provision of SFAS 123(R), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to January 1, 2006, the company did not h ave any stock based compensation.
o)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the rates prevailing at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Unrealized foreign exchange amounts resulting from translations at different rates according to their nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Recognized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in the operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange translations are reported in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ deficit as comprehensive income (loss).
q)
Loss per Common Share
The company calculates loss per share based on Statements of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Potentially dilutive warrants are not included as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
r)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicated possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company advanced an aggregate of $200,000 to TechSphere Co., Ltd., (“Tech”), its supplier, of which $125,500 is to be applied against future inventory purchases and the remaining $74,500 of the $200,000 was used to pay for contracted development and consulting services.

5. Deposit
On May 6, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement with TechSphere Co., Ltd., ("Tech"), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Korea, to distribute biometric products, hardware, embedded firmware and customized and development services until December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of Agreement, the Company paid a refundable deposit to Tech to cover each year's purchase requirement (the "quota(s)") based upon the number of Vascular Hand Scanners required to be purchased, as set out in the Agreement. In accordance with the Agreement, if the quota is not reached at the end of each Agreement year, only the deposit amount proportional to the units purchased shall be refunded to the Company. Furthermore, should the Company not purchase at least fifty percent of the cumulative quota by the end of the second year, Tech has the right to cancel the agreem ent and keep all deposits. Should the Company not reach the committed cumulative quota by the end of the third year of the Agreement, then any remaining deposit shall become Tech's. Subsequent to the year end, this agreement was voided as the Company entered into a new agreement with Tech on January 2, 2008 (See Note 17).
As of December 31, 2006, the Company met the quota requirements and as of December 31, 2007, the Company did not meet the quota requirements; however, Tech waived any right to the deposit and accordingly, the deposit is recorded as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and based on the new agreement will be applied against future purchases.
In 2007, the Company made a number of payments totaling $125,000 to European Biometrics and Security BV (“BV”). These deposits are for BV’s inventory as the Company has expanded its region to include Eastern and Western Europe (See Note 17).

SEC Advisory
The Company offered for sale in a private placement Series “A” preferred stock and warrants while this registration statement was in the process of being reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, based on the information and analysis provided by the company, the staff was unable to concur with the Company’s position that the unregistered offerings should be viewed as separate and distinct from the public resale offering registered under the pending registration statement. The staff was also unable to concur with the Company’s conclusion that the offers and sales of the securities in the applicable unregistered offerings did not involve a public offering.
An SEC investigation could result in a temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief and/or other ancillary relief, (such as fines). Under §12(a)(1) of the Securities Act, any person who offers or sells a security required to be registered under the Securities Act, but not registered, is liable to the person purchasing the security. Therefore, we could have to offer rescission rights to the purchasers of the $5,000,000 of Series “A” preferred shares that we issued, the Company intends to file a registration statement covering the Series “A” offering subsequent to the pending registration statement becoming effective and the expiration of all SEC-required waiting periods.

The Distribution Agreement provides for expiration on January 1st, 2013, and further provides automatic extension options in increments of three years per extension in perpetuity unless terminated by either party in accordance with the termination clauses contained in the Agreement. The Agreement provides for a five-year cumulative purchase commitment with yearly purchase targ ets which may be deferred to subsequent period(s). Should Identica elect this option, Identica is contractually required to pay TechSphere one third the product cost(s) as a “Manufacturer Technical Support Fee”. This alternative payment option provides greater cash flow flexibility to Identica as it relates to its timing of future inventory purchase requirements.
Subsequent to December 31, 2007 we executed an extension to the eRoom Promissory Note extending the expiration date from June 20, 2008 to December 20, 2008, upon the same terms and conditions.

IDENTICA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1.
Nature of Operation and Going Concern
Identica Holdings Corporation (the “Company” or “Identica Holdings”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2005. On November 18, 2005, the Company purchased the assets and liabilities of Identica Corp, a company registered in Ontario, Canada, including all the outstanding shares of Identica Corp. USA, Inc. On March 10, 2006, Identica Corp changed its name to Identica Canada Corp.
The Company is a US-based, international manufacturer and distributor of cost-effective, next-generation biometric identification solutions for identifying individuals. Biometric identification is the ability to recognize an individual using a measurable, physical characteristic or personal behavioral trait to undeniably recognize that identity. These solutions are used for access control, time-and-attendance, and personal credential verification applications.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The December 31, 2007 audit report accompanying our audited, consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph from our auditors which expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the years ended December, 2007 and 2006, the Company experienced net losses of $2,662,288 and $2,085,601, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,070,655 and $5,649,077 respectively. Management’s plans to address the lack of adequate funds to continue operations include continuing its efforts to increase sales of its products and secure additional debt and equity financing.
The Company began to execute its business strategy on November 18, 2005. These activities included the acquisition of Identica Canada Corp. which acquired certain assets of America Biometrics and Security Inc. on April 25, 2005. The Company has also commenced installations with strategic market resellers in the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to attain profitable operations or secure financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
a)
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Identica USA Corp, Inc”), (“Identica Canada Corp.”), and (Identica Corp. TEC, Inc.). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
b)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid debt investments with original maturities of ninety days or less when purchased, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. At times throughout the year cash may exceed federally insured limits.
c)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non-interest-bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Accounts receivable in excess of 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the oldest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects Identica Holdings' best estimate of the amounts that may not be collected. This estimate is based on reviews of all balances in excess of 90 days from the invoice date. Based on this assessment of current credit worthiness, Identica Holdings estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.
| March 31, 2008 |
Accounts Receivable: |
|
Prior to Allowance for Bad Debt | $196,244 |
Less: Allowance for Bad Debt | 9,399 |
Net Accounts Receivable | $186,845 |
d)
Inventories
Inventory held for sale is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and the demo inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value.
A significant portion of our inventory has been acquired from a single source supplier (TechSphere) pursuant to our Distributorship Agreement with TechSphere. The percentage of total purchases to inventory from TechSphere was 48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and 100% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The balance of the inventory consists of component parts and sub-assemblies purchased from a variety of sources, none of which are from a sole-source supplier.
e)
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided using the under noted annual rates and methods:

In the year of acquisition, depreciation is calculated at one half of applicable rates.
f)
Intangibles
Costs assigned to the intangibles, including distribution agreements and customer lists, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.
g)
Discount on Debt-Relative Fair Value of Warrants
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 14 (APB14) “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, states the total proceeds from the issuance of debt with detachable stock purchase warrants should be allocated to the warrants and debt based on their relative fair values.
h)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements: (“SAB No. 104”) upon shipment of goods provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is probable. Sales are recognized when any right of return, if any, has expired. Sales where no right of return exists are recognized upon shipment of goods. Revenues from service sales are recognized as service is provided.
One customer accounted for 26% of our total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, one customer accounted for 41% of our total revenue.
i)
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company includes shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold which are expensed when incurred. Total shipping and handling costs for the period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $20,943 and $10,047 respectively.
j)
Use of Estimates
Preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and action the company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such changes will materially affect the consolidated financial statements in the year of adjustment.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
k)
Financial Instruments
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. SFAS No. 105, “Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk”, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration.
l)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period is increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
m)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation to employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the company’s stock is measured on the date of grant or the date an option/warrant is granted. The company determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted the provision of SFAS 123(R), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
n)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the rates prevailing at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Unrealized foreign exchange amounts resulting from translations at different rates according to their nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Recognized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in the operations.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
o)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company applies the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange translations are reported in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ deficit as comprehensive income (loss).
p)
Loss per Common Share
The company calculates loss per share based on Statements of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
q)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicated possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

Convertible Debt
Between January 3, 2006 and April 14, 2006, the Company issued 105 units with each unit consisting of $10,000 8% convertible notes, due December 31, 2007, and 14,286 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.70. Gross proceeds from the issuance of the units were $1,047,000. The notes were convertible at the holders’ option into shares at the conversion price of $0.35. In 2007, $128,000 of the notes was repaid, and $340,000 of the notes plus accrued interest of $33,000 were converted to preferred stock in connection with the Company’s private placement. As part of this conversion, the note holders surrendered warrants exercisable for 771,427 shares of common stock. The principal balance of these convertible notes as March 31, 2008 was $569,000. As of March 31, 2008, the Company is in default of these debentures.
Additionally, as part of the terms of the notes, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement within 120 days from the issue date of each note. The Company failed to file such a registration statement within the allotted 120 days and was subject to a penalty of 1% per month on the outstanding balance of the notes as liquidated damages. Pursuant to the note, the penalty period terminated on September 30, 2006 when the Company filed a registration statement. At March 31, 2008, the Company was obligated to the note holders for such damages in the amount of $19,576. The penalty is reflected in the liabilities of the Company and included in interest and financing charges in other expenses.
Accrued interest as of March 31, 2008, on the above convertible notes was $26,600, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the fair value of the 500,000 stock warrants granted to the Advisory Board of the Company was $77,500 which is being amortized over one year beginning January 1, 2008. These warrants were issued in lieu of cash payment for the Advisory Board’s 2008 term. As of March 31, 2008 deferred compensation was $58,125 and amortization of deferred financing fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $19,375. Each stock warrant award is estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses assumptions noted in the table below. To address the lack of historical volatility data for the company, expected volatility is based in volatilities of peer companies. The risk free rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time at the time of grant. As the Company has no history the expected term of the warrants is based on their contractual life.

TechSphere Co., Ltd. Purchase Commitment
On January 2, 2008 we executed a new exclusive Distribution Agreement with TechSphere Co. Ltd. of South Korea to supply us with the Vascular Pattern Recognition Scanner and related customization and development services. The Agreement expanded our exclusive distribution of the VP-II technology to include the following territories: Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Western and Eastern Europe extending from the United Kingdom to the whole of the Russian Federation, and Israel. The Distribution Agreement provides for expiration on January 1st, 2013, and further provides automatic extension options in increments of three years per extension in perpetuity unless terminated by either party in accordance with the termination clauses contained in the Agreement. The Agreement provides for a five-year cumulative purchase commitment with yearly purchase targ ets which may be deferred to subsequent period(s). Should Identica elect this option, Identica is contractually required to pay TechSphere one third the product cost(s) as a “Manufacturer Technical Support Fee”. This alternative payment option provides greater cash flow flexibility to Identica as it relates to its timing of future inventory purchase requirements.
In accordance with SFAS 47, paragraphs 6, 7 and 10 disclosure requirements, where no balance sheet contingent liability amounts are booked, the following disclosure pertains to the distribution agreement with TechSphere dated January 2, 2008, which provides for a five-year cumulative purchase commitment with yearly purchase targets which may be deferred to subsequent period(s). Should Identica elect this option, Identica is contractually required to pay TechSphere a proportional amount of the product cost(s) as a “Manufacturer Technical Support Fee”, which must be paid within 15 days of the end of the year. The annual payment contractually required to maintain the agreement, in lieu of purchasing the entire quota, is as follows: in 2008, $168,033; in 2009, $353,000; in 2010, $461,500; in 2011, $599,950; and, in 2012, $781,000.
SEC Advisory
The Company offered for sale in a private placement Series “A” preferred stock and warrants while this registration statement was in the process of being reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, based on the information and analysis provided by the company, the staff was unable to concur with the Company’s position that the unregistered offerings should be viewed as separate and distinct from the public resale offering registered under the pending registration statement. The staff was also unable to concur with the Company’s conclusion that the offers and sales of the securities in the applicable unregistered offerings did not involve a public offering.
An SEC investigation could result in a temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief and/or other ancillary relief, (such as fines). Under §12(a)(1) of the Securities Act, any person who offers or sells a security required to be registered under the Securities Act, but not registered, is liable to the person purchasing the security. Therefore, we could have to offer rescission rights to the purchasers of the $5,000,000 of Series “A” preferred shares that we issued, the Company intends to file a registration statement covering the Series “A” offering subsequent to the pending registration statement becoming effective and the expiration of all SEC-required waiting periods.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit our directors' immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law of the State of Nevada; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws also provide that we may indemnify a director or former director of subsidiary corporation and we may indemnify our officers, employees or agents, or the officers, employees or agents of a subsidiary corporation and the heirs and personal representatives of any such person, against all expenses incurred by the person relating to a judgment, criminal charge, administrative action or other proceeding to which he or she is a party by reason of being or having been one of our directors, officers or employees.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.

Item 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
On November 18, 2005 we entered into an agreement with Identica Canada Corp. (then known as Identica Corp.) and its shareholders. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholders of Identica Canada Corp., who in the aggregate owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of Identica Canada Corp.'s capital stock exchanged their shares of Identica Canada Corp. for newly issued shares of common stock of our company in accordance with an exchange ratio of 1:1, so that each issued and outstanding Identica Corp. share was converted into one share of our common stock. This issuance was made pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Pursuant to such Share Exchange Agreement, we issued 5,666,668 shares of common stock. We also issued warrants to eRoom System Technologies, Inc. to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock. These warrants are exercisable until May 20, 2010 at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants may be exercised by the payment of cash or the cancellation of the $150,000 principal amount outstanding of a note issued to eRoom System. Said note is secured by all the assets of Identica Canada Corp., our Canadian subsidiary. The issuance was done pursuant to an exemption from registration promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the 6 month period commencing November 25, 2005, the Company issued units to investors through a private placement of units (the "Units") for $10,000 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of a $10,000 8% Convertible Note (the “Notes”) and a warrant giving the holder the right to purchase one share of stock at $0.70, which is exercisable for three years from the date of issuance. The units were offered and issued pursuant to an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
All principal and interest is due December 31, 2007. If the closing price of our shares is above $0.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days, we have the right to redeem the Notes at any time prior to the maturity thereof at 100% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest. The holder has the right to convert all or part of the unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Note at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. In addition, on and after June 30, 2006, the holder has the right to require us to purchase all of any portion of the Note for cash on the last business day of the month. We agreed not to incur any further indebtedness or create any new liens or encumbrances unless the Note has priority thereof.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we issued 2,110,285 common stock purchase warrants. We cancelled 485,713 common stock purchase warrants leaving 1,624,572 outstanding. The Warrants are exercisable until December 31, 2008 at an exercise price of $0.70 per share. However, the holders of the Warrants are entitled to exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis because the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants were not registered by us pursuant to an effective registration statement by November 25, 2006. In the event that the selling stockholder exercises the warrants on a cashless basis, then we will not receive any proceeds.
Should we fail to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States within the 120 day period from the issue date of the Note, we shall be subject to a penalty of 1% per month on the outstanding on the Notes as liquidation damages. Because we failed to file such a registration statement within such 120 day period, we are currently subject to the 1% penalty. At December 31, 2007, we were obligated to the Note Holders for such damages in the amount of $38,652.00.
In May through October 2007, we issued 5,000,000 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, without
II - 2
payment of additional consideration, into such number of shares of the Company's common stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price (defined as $1.00) by the conversion price (defined as $0.25). Holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock are protected against dilution as follows: If, subsequent to the date on which shares of the Series “A” Preferred Stock are first issued, the Company shall issue additional shares of common stock at a purchase price lower than $0.25 per share, then the conversion price of the Series “A” Preferred Stock will be to adjusted to such lower purchase price. Holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of common stock as a single class, on all matters upon which stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote, with each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock having one vote. The Series “A” Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the common stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the common stock of the Company and any other issue of stock, should there be any, by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to $1.50 per each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock owned by such shareholder plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the Series “A” Preferred Stock. Each holder of Series “A” Preferred Stock received two Class A Warrants for each share of Series “A” Preferred, with each warrant exercisable for one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share until May 31, 2010. The issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and the Class A Warrants was intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of such act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each purchaser represented to the Company that such purchaser was an accredited investor, and the transaction did not involve any form of general solicitation or advertising. There were no underwriters or broker-dealers involved in the private placement and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.
Contemporaneously with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the purchasers also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and use its best efforts to make effective, a Registration Statement on such form as is then available to effect a registration covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series “A” Preferred Stock and the Class A Warrants. If the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 180 days after the filing of the Registration Statement, then the Company will make pro rata payments to each purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such purchaser for each month or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be liable for liquidated damages (i) in the aggregate in excess of 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by any purchaser for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof and (ii) in excess of an aggregate of 24% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company also granted to each purchaser, as long as it continues to own shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock, the opportunity to purchase new securities that the Company may, from time to time and in one or more transactions, propose to sell and issue. The amount of new securities that each purchaser may purchase in relation to the other purchasers that elect to participate in that offering will be based upon the relative percentage of preferred shares purchased by each purchaser participating in the offering.
* All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were accredited investors, business associates of our company or executive officers of our company, and transfer was restricted by our company in accordance with the requirements of the
II - 3
Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Item 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to:
1)
File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);
(ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and
(iii)
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
2)
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
3)
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
4)
For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
II - 7
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of fir st use.
