Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	Overview As used in this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,” “our,” “ImageWare,” “ImageWare Systems,” “Company” or “our Company” refers to ImageWare Systems, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. ImageWare Systems, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company is a pioneer and leader in the emerging market for biometrically enabled software-based identity management solutions. Using those human characteristics that are unique to us all, the Company creates software that provides a highly reliable indication of a person’s identity. The Company’s “flagship” product is the patented IWS Biometric Engine®. The Company’s products are used to manage and issue secure credentials, including national IDs, passports, driver licenses and access control credentials. The Company’s products also provide law enforcement with integrated mug shot, fingerprint LiveScan and investigative capabilities. The Company also provides comprehensive authentication security software using biometrics to secure physical and logical access to facilities or computer networks or internet sites. Biometric technology is now an integral part of all markets the Company addresses, and all the products are integrated into the IWS Biometric Engine. Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plan Historically, our principal sources of cash have included customer payments from the sale of our products, proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations, product development, and payments relating to purchases of property and equipment. We expect that our principal uses of cash in the future will be for product development, including customization of identity management products for enterprise and consumer applications, further development of intellectual property, development of Software-as-a-Service (“ SaaS Going Concern At September 30, 2019, we had positive working capital of approximately $1,000,000. Our principal sources of liquidity at September 30, 2019 consisted of approximately $4,363,000 of cash and cash equivalents. Considering the Common Stock financing completed in May 2019, as well as our projected cash requirements, and assuming we are unable to generate incremental revenue, our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this filing. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To address our working capital requirements, management may seek additional equity and/or debt financing through the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities or may seek strategic or other transactions intended to increase shareholder value. There are currently no formal committed financing arrangements to support our projected cash shortfall, including commitments to purchase additional debt and/or equity securities, or other agreements, and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising additional debt and/or equity securities, or entering into any other transaction that addresses our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and generate positive cash flows from operations. However, the Company operates in markets that are emerging and highly competitive. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital, operate at a profit or generate positive cash flows in the future. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ GAAP Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019, or any other future periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Pursuant to the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 - Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ASU 2017-07 Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are: XImage Corporation, a California Corporation; ImageWare Systems ID Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Imaging Technology Corporation); I.W. Systems Canada Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company; ImageWare Digital Photography Systems, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (formerly Castleworks LLC); Digital Imaging International GmbH, a company formed under German laws; and Image Ware Mexico S de RL de CV, a company formed under Mexican laws. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of goodwill, assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of share based payments, fair value of derivatives issued with and affected by the Series C Preferred Financing, assumptions used in the application of revenue recognition policies, assumptions used in the derivation of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate used in the computation of the Company’s operating lease liabilities and assumptions used in the application of fair value methodologies to calculate the fair value of pension assets and obligations. Actual results could differ from estimates. Accounts Receivable In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit without collateral requirements to its customers that satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are considered delinquent when the due date on the invoice has passed. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the account receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine the level of allowance required. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all collection efforts by the Company have been unsuccessful. Inventories Finished goods inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the average cost method, or net realizable value. See Note 4, “ Inventory Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements Property and equipment, consisting of furniture and equipment, are stated at cost and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals or improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold or abandoned, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Expenditures for leasehold improvements are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expense, and deferred revenue, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Lease Liabilities and Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets The Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office space which meet the definition of leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ASC 842 A package of practical expedient to not reassess: ● Whether a contract is or contains a lease ● Lease classification ● Initial direct costs Revenue Recognition Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ ASC 606 In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of the standard is that we should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, we apply the following five step model: 1. Identify the contract with the customer; 2. Identify the performance obligation in the contract; 3. Determine the transaction price; 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in a contract with a customer and identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either: (i) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, or (ii) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. We recognize revenue only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Determining the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations as well as the transaction price and the amounts allocated to performance obligations requires judgement. We disclose disaggregation of our customer revenue by classes of similar products and services as follows: ● Software licensing and royalties; ● Sales of computer hardware and identification media; ● Services; and ● Post-contract customer support. Software Licensing and Royalties Software licenses consist of revenue from the sale of software for identity management applications. Our software licenses are functional intellectual property and typically provide customers with the right to use our software in perpetuity as it exists when made available to the customer. We recognize revenue from software licensing at a point in time upon delivery, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Royalties consist of revenue from usage-based arrangements and guaranteed minimum-based arrangements. We recognize revenue for royalty arrangements at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied. Computer Hardware and Identification Media We generate revenue from the sale of computer hardware and identification media. Revenue for these items is recognized upon delivery of these products to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Services Services revenue is comprised primarily of software customization services, software integration services, system installation services and customer training. Revenue is generally recognized upon completion of services and customer acceptance provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Post-Contract Customer Support (“PCS”) Post contract customer support consists of maintenance on software and hardware for our identity management solutions. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. In addition to selling software licenses, hardware and identification media, services and post-contract customer support on a standalone basis, certain contracts include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on our best estimate of the relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for a performance obligation is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The primary methods used to estimate standalone selling price are as follows: (i) the expected cost-plus margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service, and (ii) the percent discount off of list price approach. Contract Costs We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. Other Items We do not offer rights of return for our products and services in the normal course of business. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue. The adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 resulted in a cumulative positive adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit and accounts receivable of approximately $96,000. The following table sets forth our disaggregated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Net Revenue 2019 2018 2019 2018 (dollars in thousands) Software and royalties $ 73 $ 61 $ 306 $ 1,015 Hardware and consumables 15 7 53 130 Services 67 10 233 212 Maintenance 630 658 1,935 1,980 Total revenue $ 785 $ 736 $ 2,527 $ 3,337 Customer Concentration For the three months ended September 30, 2019, one customer accounted for approximately 28% or $216,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at September 30, 2019 of $0.

Inventories of $29,000 as of December 31, 2018 were comprised of work in process of $21,000 representing direct labor costs on in-process projects and finished goods of $8,000 net of reserves for obsolete and slow-moving items of $3,000. Intangible Assets The carrying amounts of the Company’s patent intangible assets were $73,000 and $82,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which includes accumulated amortization of $586,000 and $577,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for patent intangible assets was $3,000 and $9,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Patent intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining life of approximately 6.75 years. There was no impairment of the Company’s intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The estimated acquired intangible amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, Estimated Amortization Expense ($ in thousands) 2019 (three months) $ 3 2020 12 2021 12 2022 12 2023 12 Thereafter 22 Totals $ 73 Goodwill The Company annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a need, tests the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. In December 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The provisions of ASU 2017-04 eliminate the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. Entities that have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, will no longer be required to perform a qualitative assessment assuming they pass the simplified impairment test. The Company continues to have only one reporting unit, Identity Management, which at September 30, 2019, had a negative carrying amount of approximately $5,611,000. Based on the results of the Company’s impairment testing, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	The Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office space which meet the definition of leases under ASC 842 – Leases. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has determined that such arrangements are operating leases and accordingly the Company has, as of January 1, 2019, recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and related lease liability for the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms using the Company’s estimated weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of approximately 14.5%. Such assets and liabilities aggregated approximately $2,265,000 and $2,280,000 as of January 1, 2019, respectively. The Company determined that it had no arrangements representing finance leases. The Company’s operating leasing arrangements are summarized below: ● The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in San Diego, California, where it occupies 8,511 square feet of office space at an average cost of approximately $28,000 per month. This facility’s lease was entered into by the Company in July 2018. This lease commenced on November 1, 2018 and terminates on April 30, 2025. ● 1,508 square feet in Ottawa, Province of Ontario, Canada, at a cost of approximately $3,000 per month until the expiration of the lease on March 31, 2021; ● 9,720 square feet in Portland, Oregon, at a cost of approximately $23,000 per month until the expiration of the lease on February 28, 2023; and ● 183 square feet of office space in Mexico City, Mexico, at a cost of approximately $2,000 per month until September 30, 2020. The above leases contain no residual value guarantees provided by the Company and there are no options to either extend or terminate the leases. The Company is not a party to any subleasing arrangements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company recorded approximately $154,000 and $503,000, respectively, in lease expense using the straight-line method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, prior to the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded approximately $174,000 and $522,000, respectively, in lease expense. Under the provisions of ASC 842, lease expense is comprised of the total lease payments under the lease plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received by the lessor amortized ratably using the straight-line method over the lease term. The weighted-average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating leases as of September 30, 2019 is 4.73 years. Cash payments under operating leases aggregated approximately $122,000 and $366,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and are included in operating cash flows. The Company’s lease liability was computed using the present value of future lease payments. The Company has utilized the practical expedient regarding lease and non-lease components and combined such components into a single combined component in the determination of the lease liability. The Company has excluded the lease of its office space in Mexico City, Mexico in the determination of the lease liability as of January 1, 2019 as its term is less than 12 months. At September 30, 2019, future minimum undiscounted lease payments are as follows: ($ in thousands) 2019 (three months) $ 139 2020 671 2021 642 2022 652 2023 425 Thereafter 519 Total 3,048 Short-term leases not included in lease liability (29 ) Present Value effect on future minimum undiscounted lease payments at September 30, 2019 (876 ) Lease liability at September 30, 2019 $ 2,143 Less current portion (294 ) Non-current lease liability at September 30, 2019 $ 1,849

The Company issued the holders of Series C Preferred shares of Common Stock on March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively, as payment of dividends due on these dates. Guidance for accounting for freestanding financial instruments that contain characteristics of both liabilities and equity are contained in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity ASR 268 Redeemable Preferred Stocks. Liquidation Preference Amount The Company noted that the Series C Preferred Stock instrument was a hybrid instrument that contains several embedded features. In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16 to amend ASC 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging ASC 815 The whole instrument approach requires an issuer or investor to consider the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid instrument, including all of its stated and implied substantive terms and features. Under this approach, all stated and implied features, including the embedded feature being evaluated for bifurcation, must be considered. Each term and feature should be weighed based on the relevant facts and circumstances to determine the nature of the host contract. This approach results in a single, consistent determination of the nature of the host contract, which is then used to evaluate each embedded feature for bifurcation. That is, the host contract does not change as each feature is evaluated. The revised guidance further clarifies that the existence or omission of any single feature, including an investor-held, fixed-price, noncontingent redemption option, does not determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Instead, an entity must base that determination on an evaluation of the entire hybrid instrument, including all substantive terms and features. However, an individual term or feature may be weighed more heavily in the evaluation based on facts and circumstances. An evaluation of all relevant terms and features, including the circumstances surrounding the issuance or acquisition of the equity share, as well as the likelihood that an issuer or investor is expected to exercise any options within the host contract, to determine the nature of the host contract, requires judgement. Using the whole instrument approach, the Company concluded that the host instrument is more akin to debt than equity as the majority of identified features contain more characteristics of debt. The Company evaluated the identified embedded features of the Series C Preferred host instrument and determined that certain features meet the definition of and contained the characteristics of derivative financial instruments requiring bifurcation at fair value from the host instrument. Accordingly, the Company has bifurcated from the Series C Preferred host instrument the conversion options, redemption option and participating dividend feature in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815. These bifurcated features aggregated approximately $833,000 at issuance and have been recorded as a discount to the Series C Preferred. Such amount will be accreted to the point of earliest redemption which is the third anniversary of the Series C Financing or September 10, 2021 using the effective interest rate method. The accretion of these features is recorded as a deemed dividend. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded the accretion of debt issuance costs and derivative liabilities aggregating approximately $181,000 and $551,000, respectively, using the effective interest rate method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded the accretion of debt issuance costs and derivative liabilities of approximately $11,000 using the effective interest rate method.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES	The Company accounts for its derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging The Company determined that the conversion option, redemption option and participating dividend feature contained in the Series C Preferred host instrument required bifurcation. The Company valued the bifurcatable features at fair value. Such liabilities aggregated approximately $833,000 at inception and are classified as current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Derivative liabilities.” The Company revalued these features at each balance sheet date and has recorded any change in fair value in the determination of period net income or loss. Such amounts are recorded in the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a decrease to these derivative liabilities using fair value methodologies of approximately $388,000 and $445,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an increase to these derivative liabilities using fair value methodologies of approximately $186,000.

EQUITY	The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of two classes of stock to be designated “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The Preferred Stock may be divided into such number of series and with the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock The Company had 37,467 shares of Series A Preferred outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had cumulative undeclared dividends of $0. The Company issued the holders of Series A Preferred shares of Common Stock on March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively, as payment of dividends due on these dates. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock The Company had 239,400 shares of Series B Preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ Series B Preferred Common Stock The following table summarizes Common Stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019: Common Stock Shares outstanding at December 31, 2018 98,223,632 Shares issued as payment of stock dividend on Series A Preferred 3,448,699 Shares issued as payment of stock dividend on Series C Preferred 920,426 Shares issued pursuant to option exercises 351,334 Shares issued for cash 5,954,545 Shares outstanding at September 30, 2019 108,898,636 In May 2019, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 5,954,545 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $1.10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,550,000. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $6,095,000 after recognition of offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the sale of the Common Stock for general corporate purposes. The shares of Common Stock described above were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on June 28, 2018 and declared effective on July 10, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 351,334 shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options, resulting in proceeds to the Company of approximately $167,000. Warrants The following table summarizes warrant activity for the following periods: Warrants Weighted- Average Exercise Price Balance at December 31, 2018 1,813,856 $ 0.19 Granted — — Expired/Canceled (80,000 ) 1.13 Exercised — — Balance at September 30, 2019 1,733,856 $ 0.14 As of September 30, 2019, warrants to purchase 1,733,856 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $1.46 were outstanding. All warrants are exercisable as of September 30, 2019 except for an aggregate of 1,643,856 warrants, which become exercisable only upon the attainment of specified events. Such warrants expire at various dates through September 2028. The intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at September 30, 2019 was approximately $0. The Company has excluded from this computation any intrinsic value of the 1,493,856 warrants issued to Series A Preferred stockholders due to such warrants becoming exercisable only upon conversion of Series A Preferred into shares of Common Stock. Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s 1999 Stock Award Plan (the “ 1999 Plan The Company estimates the fair value of its stock options using a Black-Scholes option-valuation model, consistent with the provisions of ASC No. 718 , Compensation – Stock Compensation ASC No. 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, and interest rates. The Company is required to make various assumptions in the application of the Black-Scholes option-valuation model. The Company has determined that the best measure of expected volatility is based on the historical weekly volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. Historical volatility factors utilized in the Company’s Black-Scholes computations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 ranged from 51% to 84%. The Company has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14. The expected term used by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 5.17 years. The difference between the actual historical expected life and the simplified method was immaterial. The interest rate used is the risk-free interest rate and is based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term. The interest rate used in the Company’s Black-Scholes calculations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was %. Dividend yield is zero, as the Company does not expect to declare any dividends on the Company’s Common Stock in the foreseeable future. In addition to the key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, the estimated forfeiture rate at the time of valuation is a critical assumption. The Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of approximately 0% for corporate officers, 4.1% for members of the Board of Directors and 6.0% for all other employees. The Company reviews the expected forfeiture rate annually to determine if that percent is still reasonable based on historical experience. A summary of the activity under the Company’s stock option plans is as follows: Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Balance at December 31, 2018 7,227,248 $ 1.34 Granted 712,500 $ 0.92 Expired/Cancelled (388,746 ) $ 1.53 Exercised (351,334 ) $ 0.47 Balance at September 30, 2019 7,199,668 $ 1.34 The intrinsic value of options exercisable at September 30, 2019 was $0. The aggregate intrinsic value for all options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 was $0. The weighted-average grant-date per share fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.48. The weighted-average grant-date per share fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.95.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING	The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair Value at September 30, 2019 ($ in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Pension assets $ 1,649 $ — $ — $ 1,649 Totals $ 1,649 $ — $ — $ 1,649 Liabilities: Derivative liabilities $ 620 $ — $ — $ 620 Totals $ 620 $ — $ — $ 620 Fair Value at December 31, 2018 ($ in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Pension assets $ 1,733 $ — $ — $ 1,733 Totals $ 1,733 $ — $ — $ 1,733 Liabilities: Derivative liabilities $ 1,065 $ — $ — $ 1,065 Totals $ 1,065 $ — $ — $ 1,065 The Company’s German pension plan is funded by insurance contract policies whereby the insurance company guarantees a fixed minimum return. The Company has determined that the pension assets are more appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using actuarial valuation methodologies which approximate cash surrender value that cannot be corroborated with observable market data. All plan assets are managed in a policyholder pool in Germany by outside investment managers. The investment manager is responsible for the investment strategy of the insurance premiums that Company submits and does not hold individual assets per participating employer. The German Federal Financial Supervisory oversees and supervises the insurance contracts. The Series C Preferred host instrument (issued in September 2018) had embedded features contained in the host instrument that qualified for derivative liability treatment. The recorded fair value of these features at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was approximately $620,000 and $1,065,000, respectively which is reflected as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using pricing models that incorporate management assumptions that cannot be corroborated with observable market data. The Company uses the lattice framework, Monte-Carlo simulations and other fair value methodologies in the determination of the fair value of derivative liabilities. Some of the aforementioned fair value methodologies are affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding the expected stock price volatility over the term of the derivative liabilities in addition to the probability of future events. The Company monitors the activity within each level and any changes with the underlying valuation techniques or inputs utilized to recognize if any transfers between levels are necessary. That determination is made, in part, by working with outside valuation experts for Level 3 instruments and monitoring market related data and other valuation inputs for Level 1 and Level 2 instruments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ GAAP Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019, or any other future periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Pursuant to the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 - Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ASU 2017-07
Principles of Consolidation	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are: XImage Corporation, a California Corporation; ImageWare Systems ID Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Imaging Technology Corporation); I.W. Systems Canada Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company; ImageWare Digital Photography Systems, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (formerly Castleworks LLC); Digital Imaging International GmbH, a company formed under German laws; and Image Ware Mexico S de RL de CV, a company formed under Mexican laws. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of goodwill, assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of share based payments, fair value of derivatives issued with and affected by the Series C Preferred Financing, assumptions used in the application of revenue recognition policies, assumptions used in the derivation of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate used in the computation of the Company’s operating lease liabilities and assumptions used in the application of fair value methodologies to calculate the fair value of pension assets and obligations. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Accounts Receivable	In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit without collateral requirements to its customers that satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are considered delinquent when the due date on the invoice has passed. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the account receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine the level of allowance required. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all collection efforts by the Company have been unsuccessful.
Inventories	Finished goods inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the average cost method, or net realizable value. See Note 4, “ Inventory
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements	Property and equipment, consisting of furniture and equipment, are stated at cost and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals or improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold or abandoned, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Expenditures for leasehold improvements are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expense, and deferred revenue, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
Lease Liabilities and Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets	The Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office space which meet the definition of leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ASC 842 A package of practical expedient to not reassess: ● Whether a contract is or contains a lease ● Lease classification ● Initial direct costs
Revenue Recognition	Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ ASC 606 In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of the standard is that we should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, we apply the following five step model: 1. Identify the contract with the customer; 2. Identify the performance obligation in the contract; 3. Determine the transaction price; 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in a contract with a customer and identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either: (i) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, or (ii) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. We recognize revenue only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Determining the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations as well as the transaction price and the amounts allocated to performance obligations requires judgement. We disclose disaggregation of our customer revenue by classes of similar products and services as follows: ● Software licensing and royalties; ● Sales of computer hardware and identification media; ● Services; and ● Post-contract customer support. Software Licensing and Royalties Software licenses consist of revenue from the sale of software for identity management applications. Our software licenses are functional intellectual property and typically provide customers with the right to use our software in perpetuity as it exists when made available to the customer. We recognize revenue from software licensing at a point in time upon delivery, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Royalties consist of revenue from usage-based arrangements and guaranteed minimum-based arrangements. We recognize revenue for royalty arrangements at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied. Computer Hardware and Identification Media We generate revenue from the sale of computer hardware and identification media. Revenue for these items is recognized upon delivery of these products to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Services Services revenue is comprised primarily of software customization services, software integration services, system installation services and customer training. Revenue is generally recognized upon completion of services and customer acceptance provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Post-Contract Customer Support (“PCS”) Post contract customer support consists of maintenance on software and hardware for our identity management solutions. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. In addition to selling software licenses, hardware and identification media, services and post-contract customer support on a standalone basis, certain contracts include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on our best estimate of the relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for a performance obligation is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The primary methods used to estimate standalone selling price are as follows: (i) the expected cost-plus margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service, and (ii) the percent discount off of list price approach. Contract Costs We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. Other Items We do not offer rights of return for our products and services in the normal course of business. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue. The adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 resulted in a cumulative positive adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit and accounts receivable of approximately $96,000. The following table sets forth our disaggregated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Net Revenue 2019 2018 2019 2018 (dollars in thousands) Software and royalties $ 73 $ 61 $ 306 $ 1,015 Hardware and consumables 15 7 53 130 Services 67 10 233 212 Maintenance 630 658 1,935 1,980 Total revenue $ 785 $ 736 $ 2,527 $ 3,337
Customer Concentration	For the three months ended September 30, 2019, one customer accounted for approximately 28% or $216,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at September 30, 2019 of $0. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, two customers accounted for approximately 40% or $1,009,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at September 30, 2019 of $161,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, two customers accounted for approximately 41% or $302,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at September 30, 2018 of $51,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, one customer accounted for approximately 40% or $1,348,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at September 30, 2018 of $0.
