References to the Company, we, us, our or Intrusion Inc. refer to Intrusion Inc. and its subsidiaries. Compliance Commander, SecureNet, TraceCop and Savant are trademarks of Intrusion Inc.
On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants. In the private placement, we sold 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a price of $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of $5.0 million, less $275,000 of issuance costs. The preferred shares may be converted into 1,590,331 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Intrusion Inc. (our Common Stock) at an initial conversion price of $3.144 per share.
On March 18, 2004, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-four (1:4) reverse stock split of our Common Stock. The reverse stock split became effective on March 29, 2004. All outstanding share numbers and related Common Stock numbers, such as earnings per share and outstanding options, included in this report are set forth on a post-split basis.
On March 28, 2005, we completed a private placement of 1,065,200 shares of our Series 2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 532,600 shares of our Common Stock for gross proceeds of $2,663,000. The preferred shares may be converted into 1,065,200 shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share, and the warrants may be exercised at a price of $2.77 per share during the five-year period commencing on September 28, 2005. In connection with the closing of this private placement, we issued warrants to purchase 60,390 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.77 per share to employees of our financial advisor for the private placement.
On December 2, 2005, we completed an additional private placement of 564,607 shares of our Series 3 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 282,306 shares of our Common Stock for gross proceeds of $1,230,843. The preferred shares may be converted into 564,607 shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.18 per share, and the warrants may be exercised at a price of $0.40 per share during the five-year period commencing on June 2, 2006. In connection with the closing of this private placement, we issued warrants to purchase 27,531 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.58 per share to employees of our financial advisor for the private placement.
On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit with SVB (the 2006 Credit Line). On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with SVB to, among other things, replace the 2006 Credit Line with a $2.5 million line of credit (the 2008 Credit Line). On June 28, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the Loan Agreement) with SVB to replace the 2008 Credit Line with a $1.25 million line of credit (the Current Line of Credit). Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including all of our intellectual property. In addition, G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, has established a Guaranty Agreement with SVB for all outstanding balances under the Current Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Current Line of Credit are based on advances (each an Advance) against certain of our accounts receivable that are approved by SVB (each an Eligible Account). SVB may make an Advance of up to eighty percent (80%) of each Eligible Account, or such other percentage SVB may determine in its sole discretion. Each Advance is subject to a finance charge calculated as a daily rate that is based on a 360-day annual rate of the greater of the prime rate or 5.25%, plus 2.0%. Finance charges are payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance is also subject to a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.5% of all outstanding Advances, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Loan Agreement. The collateral handling fee is payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance must be repaid at the earliest of (a) the date that the Eligible Account related to the Advance is paid, (b) the date the Eligible Account is no longer eligible under the Loan Agreement, or (c) the date on which any Adjustment (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is asserted to the Eligible Account. On June 27, 2010, the Loan Agreement terminates and all outstanding Advances, accrued but unpaid finance charges, outstanding collateral handing fees, and other amounts become due under the Loan Agreement and related documents. We have certain non-financial and financial covenants, including a liquidity coverage ratio and a rolling EBITDA computation, as defined in the Loan Agreement. We have no borrowings outstanding under the Current Line of Credit as of December 31, 2009 and had borrowings available of $152,000.
On March 15, 2007, we completed a private placement of 925,926 shares of our Common Stock for gross proceeds of $500,000.
On June 27, 2007, we completed a private placement of 1,111,111 shares of our Common Stock for gross proceeds of $500,000.
On September 26, 2007, we completed a private placement of 1,190,476 shares of our Common Stock for gross proceeds of $500,000.
On February 4, 2010, the Company extended a revolving promissory note to borrow up to $700,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer through March 2011.
On February 4, 2010, we received a written commitment from our Chief Executive Officer to invest up to an additional $1,500,000 in the Company until March 2011, should such funding be required by the Company, on terms and conditions similar to the promissory note above.
Government Sales
Sales to U.S. government customers accounted for 77.5% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 86.2% of our revenue in 2008. We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from sales to governmental entities in the future as we continue to market our entity identification products, our data mining products, our regulated compliance and data leakage prevention products and our network intrusion prevention products to the government. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers which could adversely affect our revenues, including potential disruption due to irregularities in or interruptions to appropriation and spending patterns, delays in approving a federal budget and the governments reservation of the right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience.
Generally, we make our sales under purchase orders and contracts. Our customers, including government customers, may cancel their orders or contracts with little or no prior notice and without penalty. Although we transact business with various government entities, we believe that the cancellation of any particular order in itself could have a material effect on our financial results. However, because we derive and expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales to government entities, a large number of cancelled or renegotiated government orders or contracts could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Currently, we are not aware of any proposed cancellation or renegotiation of any of our existing arrangements with government entities, and, historically, government entities have not cancelled or renegotiated orders which had a material adverse effect on our business.
Industry Background
With the Internet becoming a virtual business necessity over the last decade, the network security technology that was once deployed only by the government and the most sophisticated or security conscious of companies is now employed by businesses of all sizes as a critical component of all mission critical systems. Today, email, instant messengers, World Wide Web access, web sites, web-based applications and e-commerce are integral components of communications and operations for business as well as government, and the protection of the information communicated through or stored in these applications is crucial. Although the Internet has many business advantages, its openness and accessibility makes it a potential threat to the networks and systems that are attached to it. Computer hackers, curious or disgruntled employees, competitors, or even employees who might make the most innocent of mistakes may compromise or destroy information assets or disrupt the normal operations and jeopardize the brand equity of the enterprise. In addition, new regulations and mandates by the government to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) have made it imperative that companies have real-time data security products and processes in place.
As a result, enterprises are adopting a variety of security solutions to meet the challenge posed by external and internal threats. To be effective in securing its data, organizations require enterprise-wide information risk management solutions that are broadly deployed and centrally managed. It is our belief that securing the enterprise network requires the key elements of control and visibility. We see these as embodying the following:
· Control: the ability to affect network traffic including access to the network or parts thereof in order to enforce a security policy.
· Visibility: the ability to see and understand the nature of the network and the traffic on the network, which assists in decision making as well as crafting and constantly improving security policy.
We focus on providing these two primary elements of network security within a single product for overall network security and for the protection of specific classified, confidential or customer information assets.
Products
TraceCop
Our TraceCop product family includes a database of worldwide IP addresses which are regularly updated. In addition, other information and analysis results, such as geo-location data may also be included. Customers use the TraceCop data to aid in the identification and location of individuals involved in cyber crime. In addition to the IP database, the TraceCop family includes analysis software and a GUI interface to assist analysts in locating the bad guys. We sell the license fee and maintenance for the TraceCop database and either install and service the database at the Intrusion facility or
install the TraceCop database on a customer server onsite.
Compliance Commander is our data leak prevention product family. Compliance Commander is a software product which operates on a standard computer or server and connects in-line to the customers network. We license the Compliance Commander software to our customers and sell them software maintenance and upgrades. We also resell standard computers for implementation of the software.
SecureNet is our Network Intrusion/Detection Product family. SecureNet is a software product which operates on a standard computer or server and connects inline to the customers network. We license the SecureNet software to our customers and additionally sell software maintenance and upgrades. We also resell standard computers for implementation of the software. SecureNet provides network monitoring and analysis functions with the added ability to block malicious network traffic for up to two gigabit data flows. SecureNet products provide user customizable, protocol decode detection technology. Our SecureNet sensors have their own web browser interface for simplified configuration.
Third-Party Products
We currently resell standard commercially available computers and servers from various vendors which we integrate with our different software products for implementation into our customer networks. We do not consider any of these third party relationships to be material.
Customer Services
In addition to offering our network security products, we also offer a wide range of services, including design and configuration, project planning, training, installation and maintenance.
Product Development
The network security industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, standards, economy and customer demands. We believe that our future success depends in large part upon the timely enhancement of existing products as well as the development of technologically advanced new products that meet industry standards, perform successfully and simplify the users tasks so that they can do more with fewer resources. We are currently marketing TraceCop, Savant, Compliance Commander and SecureNet products to meet emerging market requirements and are continuously engaged in testing to ensure that our products interoperate with other manufacturers products, which comply with industry standards.
During 2009 and 2008, our research and development expenditures were approximately $1.1 million each year. All of our expenditures for research and development have been expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2009, we had 17 employees engaged in research and product development.
Manufacturing and Supplies
Our internal manufacturing operations consist primarily of replication of software on CDs, packaging, testing and quality control of finished units.
The hardware we sell is standard off-the-shelf products, which we OEM or resell from our suppliers.
Intellectual Property and Licenses
Our success and our ability to compete are dependent, in part, upon our proprietary technology. We principally rely on a combination of contractual rights, trade secrets and copyright laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. In addition, we have recently applied for two patents. We have also entered into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers, resellers and certain customers to limit access to and disclosure of proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.
We have entered into software and product license agreements with various suppliers. These license agreements provide us with additional software and hardware components that add value to our security products. These license agreements do not provide proprietary rights that are unique or exclusive to us and are generally available to other parties on the same or similar terms and conditions, subject to payment of applicable license fees and royalties. We do not consider any of the product license, software or supplier agreements to be material to our business, but rather complementary to our business and product offerings.
Sales, Marketing and Customers
Field Sales Force. Our direct sales organization focuses on major account sales, channel partners including distributors, Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators; promotes our products to current and potential customers; and monitors evolving customer requirements. The field sales and technical support force provides training and technical support to our resellers and end users and assists our customers in designing secure data networking solutions. We currently conduct sales and marketing efforts from our principal office in Richardson (Dallas), Texas. In addition, we have sales personnel, sales engineers or sales representatives located in California, Europe and Asia.
Distributors. We have signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive.
Resellers. Resellers such as domestic and international system integrators and VARs sell our products as stand-alone solutions to end users and integrate our products with products sold by other vendors into network security systems that are sold to end users. Our field sales force and technical support organization provide support to these resellers. Our agreements with resellers are non-exclusive, and our resellers generally sell other products that may compete with our products. Resellers may place higher priority on products of other suppliers who are larger than and have more name recognition than us, and there can be no assurance that resellers will continue to sell and support our products.
Foreign Sales. We believe that rapidly evolving international markets are important sources of future net sales. Our export sales are currently being made through an indirect sales force comprised of international resellers in Europe and Asia. Export sales accounted for approximately 1.0% and 4.7% of total revenue in 2009 and 2008, respectively. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations included in this report for a geographic breakdown of our revenue in 2009 and 2008. Sales to foreign customers and resellers generally have been made in United States dollars.
Marketing. We have implemented several methods to market our products, including public relations and placed articles, regular participation in and presenting during trade shows and seminars, advertisement in trade journals, telemarketing, distribution of sales literature and product specifications and ongoing communication with our resellers and installed base of end-user customers.
Customers. Our end-user customers include U.S. federal government entities, foreign government entities, banks, credit unions, other financial institutions, hospitals and other healthcare providers. Essentially, our customers include any entity requiring network security solutions for protecting their mission critical data. Sales to certain customers and groups of customers can be impacted by seasonal capital expenditure approval cycles, and sales to customers within certain geographic regions can be subject to seasonal fluctuations in demand.
In 2009, 77.5% of our revenue was derived from a variety of U.S. government entities through direct sales and indirectly through system integrators and resellers. In 2009, 76.6% of our total revenues are attributable to three U.S. Government customers through direct and indirect channels, all of which exceeded 10% of total revenue individually in 2009. Comparatively, sales to the U.S. Government through direct and indirect channels totaled 86.2% of total revenues for 2008 and 73.1% of our total revenues in 2008 were attributable to two customers, one of which exceeded 10% of our total revenues individually. A reduction in our sales to U.S. government entities could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results if not replaced.
Backlog. We believe that only a small portion of our order backlog is non-cancelable and that the dollar amount associated with the non-cancelable portion is immaterial. We purchase or contract inventory based upon our forecast of customer demand and maintain inventories in advance of receiving firm orders from customers. Commercial orders are generally fulfilled within two days to two weeks following receipt of an order. Certain government orders may be scheduled over several months, generally not exceeding one year.
Customer Support, Service and Warranty. We service, repair and provide technical support for our products. Our field sales and technical support force works closely with resellers and end-user customers on-site and by telephone to assist with pre- and post-sales support services such as network security design, system installation and technical consulting. By working closely with our customers, our employees increase their understanding of end-user requirements and provide input to the product development process.
We warrant all of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for periods ranging from 90 days to 12 months. Before and after expiration of the product warranty period, we offer both on-site and factory-based support, parts replacement and repair services. Extended warranty services are separately invoiced on a time and materials basis or under an annual maintenance contract.
Competition
The market for network and data protection security solutions is intensely competitive and subject to frequent product introductions with new technologies, improved price and performance characteristics. Industry suppliers compete in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other security products, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, product features and technical support.
There are numerous companies competing in various segments of the data security markets. At this time, we do not have direct competitors for TraceCop. There are several different small start-up companies that perform some of the analysis functions that we perform in TraceCop, but these companies dont have the extensive data-base that we have in TraceCop. In our newest market segment, data mining, we compete with several small companies including Niksun and NetScout. Our competitors in the regulated information compliance market include Vontu (Symantec), Port Authority (Websense), Vericept, Reconnex (McAfee Inc.), Tablus (RSA Security) and a small number of start-up companies that entered the space within the last two years. Our principal competitors in the network intrusion prevention and detection market include Internet Security Systems, Inc.(IBM), Cisco Systems, Inc., Symantec, Inc., Netscreen (Juniper Networks, Inc.), McAfee Inc., Tipping Point Technologies, a division of 3Com Corporation, and NFR Security (Checkpoint).
Furthermore, some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, better name recognition and a larger customer base than we do. In addition, many of our competitors may provide a more comprehensive networking and security solution than we currently offer. Even if we do introduce advanced products that meet evolving customer requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that our new products will gain market acceptance.
Certain companies in the network security industry have expanded their product lines or technologies in recent years as a result of acquisitions. Further, more companies have developed products which conform to existing and emerging industry standards and have sought to compete on the basis of price. We anticipate increased competition from large networking equipment vendors, which are expanding their capabilities in the network security market. In addition, we anticipate increased competition from private start-up companies that have developed or are developing advanced security products. Increased competition in the security industry could result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future with current or new competitors.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009, we employed a total of 27 persons, including 6 in sales, marketing and technical support, 17 in research, product development and engineering, and 4 in administration and finance.
None of our employees are represented by a labor organization, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Competition in the recruiting of personnel in the networking and data security industry is intense. We believe that
our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate and retain qualified management, sales and marketing, and technical personnel. To date, we have not experienced significant difficulties in attracting or retaining qualified employees.
In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, the following factors should be considered in evaluating Intrusion Inc. and our business.
Our cash, cash equivalents, and investments remained relatively constant at $519,000 at December 31, 2009 compared to $554,000 at December 31, 2008. We may not have sufficient cash to operate our business and may not be able to maintain certain liquidity requirements under our existing debt instruments. Additional debt and equity offerings to fund future operations may not be available and, if available, may significantly dilute the value of our currently outstanding common stock.
As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $519,000, down from approximately $554,000 as of December 31, 2008. We generated net income of $379,000 in the last quarter of 2009 and $186,000 net income for the year 2009 compared to a net loss for the year 2008 of $808,000. We are obligated to make payments of accrued dividends on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock that will reduce our available cash resources. As of December 31, 2009, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $519,000, we had $152,000 in funding available under our $1.25 million line of credit at Silicon Valley Bank, and $1.2 million funding available from a written commitment to invest up to $1.5 million from G. Ward Paxton, our CEO. Based on projections of growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, and the borrowings available previously mentioned, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our operations through Company profits, our line of credit, borrowings from the Companys CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. If our operations do not generate positive cash flow in the upcoming year, or if we are not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, we may be unable to implement our business plan, fund our liquidity needs or even continue our operations.
To remain profitable, we must continue to meet or exceed our current revenue levels.
We had a net income of $186,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, but have incurred large operating losses in previous years. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had net income of $0.2 million and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $58.1 million as of December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $58.3 million as of December 31, 2008. We need to generate and sustain equal to or greater revenues from the sales of our products if we are to remain profitable and grow. If we are unable to sustain these revenue levels, net losses may occur and we may never be able to sustain profitability or generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.
If our newer products do not achieve market acceptance, our revenue growth may suffer.
Our new network security products, entity identification products and regulated information compliance systems have only been in the market place for a limited period of time and may have longer sales cycles than our previous products. Accordingly, we may not achieve the meaningful revenue growth needed to sustain operations. We can provide no assurances that sales of our newer products will continue to grow or generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business. If we are unable to recognize revenues due to longer sales cycles or other problems, our results of operations will be adversely affected, perhaps materially.
We have not yet received broad market acceptance for our newer products. We cannot assure you that our present or future products will achieve market acceptance on a sustained basis. In order to achieve market acceptance and achieve future revenue growth, we must introduce complementary security products, incorporate new technologies into our existing product lines and design, develop and successfully commercialize higher performance products in a timely manner. We cannot assure you that we will be able to offer new or complementary products that gain market acceptance quickly enough to avoid decreased revenues during current or future product introductions or transitions.
A large percentage of our revenues are received from U.S. government entities, and the loss of one of these customers could reduce our revenues and materially harm our business and prospects.
A large percentage of our revenues result from sales to U.S. government entities. If we were to lose one or more of
these key relationships, our revenues could decline and our business and prospects may be materially harmed. We expect that even if we are successful in developing relationships with non-governmental customers, our revenues will continue to be concentrated among government entities. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, sales to U.S. government entities collectively accounted for 73.2%, 86.2% and 77.5% of our total net revenues, respectively. The loss of any of these key relationships may send a negative message to other U.S. government entities or non-governmental customers concerning our product offering. We cannot assure you that U.S. government entities will be customers of ours in future periods or that we will be able to diversify our customer portfolio to adequately mitigate the risk of loss of any of these customers.
Government customers involve unique risks, which could adversely impact our revenues.
We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from U.S. government customers in the future. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruption due to appropriation and spending patterns, delays in approving a federal budget and the governments right to cancel contracts and purchase orders for its convenience. General political and economic conditions, which we cannot accurately predict, directly and indirectly may affect the quantity and allocation of expenditures by federal departments. In addition, obtaining government contracts may involve long purchase and payment cycles, competitive bidding, qualification requirements, delays or changes in funding, budgetary constraints, political agendas, extensive specification development and price negotiations and milestone requirements. Each government entity also maintains its own rules and regulations with which we must comply and which can vary significantly among departments. As a result, cutbacks or re-allocations in the federal budget or losses of government sales due to other factors could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.
We are highly dependent on sales made through indirect channels, the loss of which would materially adversely affect our operations.
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, we derived 19.2%, 33.9% and 65.5% of our revenues from sales through indirect sales channels, such as distributors, value-added resellers, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers and managed service providers. We must expand our sales through these indirect channels in order to increase our revenues. We cannot assure you that our products will gain market acceptance in these indirect sales channels or that sales through these indirect sales channels will increase our revenues. Further, many of our competitors are also trying to sell their products through these indirect sales channels, which could result in lower prices and reduced profit margins for sales of our products.
The payment of dividends on our preferred stock may strain our cash resources.
On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5,000,000 private placement pursuant to which we issued 1,000,000 shares of our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series 1 Preferred Stock) and warrants to acquire 556,619 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 1 Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the warrants is $3.144 per share. As of February 28, 2010, there were 220,000 shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing approximately 349,873 shares of common stock upon conversion.
On March 28, 2005, we completed a $2,663,000 private placement pursuant to which we issued 1,065,200 shares of our Series 2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series 2 Preferred Stock) and warrants to acquire 532,600 shares of our common stock. The conversion price for the Series 2 Preferred Stock is $2.50 per share and the exercise price of the warrants is $2.77 per share. As of February 28, 2010, there were 460,000 shares of the Series 2 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing 460,000 shares of common stock upon conversion.
On December 2, 2005, we completed a $1,230,843 private placement pursuant to which we issued 564,607 shares of our Series 3 5% preferred stock (the Series 3 Preferred Stock) and warrants to acquire 282,306 shares of our common stock. The preferred shares may be converted into 564,607 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.18 per share, and the warrants may be exercised at a price of $0.40 per share during the five-year period commencing on June 2, 2006. As of February 28, 2010, there were 354,056 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock outstanding, representing 354,056 shares of common stock upon conversion.
You will experience substantial dilution upon the conversion or redemption of the shares of preferred stock and the exercise of warrants that we issued in our recent private placements or in the event we raise additional funds through the issuance of new shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock.
On March 5, 2010, we had 11,704,535 shares of common stock outstanding. Upon conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock and exercise of the outstanding warrants, we will have 13,710,902 shares of common stock outstanding,
approximately a 17.1% increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.
In addition, management may issue additional shares of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock in order to finance our continuing operations. Any future issuances of such securities would have additional dilutive effects on the existing holders of our Common Stock.
Further, the occurrence of certain events could entitle holders of our Series 2 Preferred Stock and Series 3 Preferred Stock to require us to redeem their shares for a certain number of shares of our common stock. Assuming (i) we have paid all liquidated damages and other amounts to the holders, (ii) paid all outstanding dividends, (iii) a volume weighted average price of $0.72, which was the ten-day volume weighted average closing price of our common stock on March 5, 2010, and (iv) our 11,704,535 shares of common stock outstanding on March 5, 2010, upon exercise of their redemption right by the holders of the Series 3 Preferred Stock and the Series 2 Preferred Stock, we would be obligated to issue approximately 4,625,878 shares of our common stock. This would represent an increase of approximately 40.0% in the number of shares of our common stock as of March 5, 2010.
The conversion of preferred stock or exercise of warrants we issued in the private placements may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
The holders of the shares of our 5% Preferred Stock and warrants we issued in connection with the sale of our 5% Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of preferred stock and exercise their warrants and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of February 28, 2010, 780,000 shares of our 5% Preferred Stock had converted into 1,240,457 shares of common stock.
The holders of the shares of Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and warrants we issued in connection with the sale of our Series 2 Preferred Stock may freely convert their shares of preferred stock and exercise their warrants and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of February 28, 2010, 605,200 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock had converted into 605,200 shares of common stock.
The holders of the shares of Series 3 5% Preferred Stock and warrants we issued in connection with the sale of our Series 3 Preferred Stock, may freely convert their shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock and exercise their warrants and sell the underlying shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of February 28, 2010, 210,551 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock had converted into 210,551 shares of common stock.
For the four weeks ended on March 5, 2010, the average daily trading volume of our common stock on The OTCBB was 6,225 shares. Consequently, if holders of preferred stock or warrants elect to convert their remaining shares or exercise their warrants and sell a material amount of their underlying shares of common stock on the open market, the increase in selling activity could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, these sales, or the potential for these sales, could encourage short sales, causing additional downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.
Certain rights of the holders of our preferred stock and the terms of our secured credit line may hinder our ability to raise additional financing.
Under the terms of our preferred stock instruments, we cannot issue shares of capital stock with rights senior to those of our existing 5% Preferred Stock, Series 2 5% Preferred Stock or Series 3 5% Preferred Stock without the approval of at least a majority of the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, all of the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock, and holders of at least 75% of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock voting or acting as separate classes. We also cannot incur certain indebtedness without the approval of at least a majority of the holders of each class of our Preferred Stock. Furthermore, the terms of our secured credit line with Silicon Valley Bank include covenants which restrict our ability to incur additional debt and pay certain dividends. The combination of these provisions could hinder or delay our ability to raise additional debt or equity financing.
We resemble a developmental stage company and our business strategy may not be successful.
From our founding in 1983 until 2000, we derived substantially all of our revenue from the design, manufacture and sale of local area networking equipment. In order to permit us to focus our resources solely on developing and marketing our network security products, we sold our local area networking assets and related networking divisions. We now depend exclusively on revenues generated from the sale of our network security products, which have received limited market acceptance. We have recently introduced our regulated information compliance systems, entity identification and data mining products, and the market for these products has only begun to emerge. We can provide no assurances that our newly introduced products will ever achieve widespread market acceptance or that an adequate market for these products will ever emerge. Consequently, we resemble a developmental stage company and will face the following inherent risks and
uncertainties:
· the need for our network security products, regulated information compliance systems, entity identification and data mining products to achieve market acceptance and produce a sustainable revenue stream;
· our ability to manage costs and expenses;
· our dependence on key personnel;
· our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; and
· our ability to offer greater value than our competitors.
Our business strategy may not successfully address these risks. If we fail to recognize significant revenues from the sales of our network security products, regulated information compliance systems, entity identification and data mining products, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
Our management and larger stockholders exercise significant control over our company and have the ability to approve or take actions that may be adverse to your interests.
As of February 28, 2010, our executive officers, directors and preferred stockholders beneficially own approximately 26.7% of our voting power. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us. These stockholders may use their influence to approve or take actions that may be adverse to the interests of holders of our Common Stock. Further, we contemplate the possible issuance of shares of our Common Stock or of securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our Common Stock in the future to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Any such issuance will increase the percentage of stock our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and our management group beneficially holds.
We face intense competition from both start-up and established companies that may have significant advantages over us and our products.
The market for network security solutions is intensely competitive. There are numerous companies competing with us in various segments of the data security markets, and their products may have advantages over our products in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other security products, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, product features and technical support.
Our principal competitors in the data mining market include Niksun and NetScout. Our principal competitors in the network intrusion prevention and detection market include Internet Security Systems, Inc. (IBM), Cisco Systems, Inc., Symantec, Inc., Juniper Networks, Inc., McAfee Inc., Tipping Point Technologies, a division of 3Com Corporation, and NFR Security, Inc. Our competitors in the regulated information compliance market include Vontu (Symantec), Port Authority (Websense), Vericept, Reconnex (McAfee Inc.), Tablus (RSA Security) and a small number of start-up companies that entered the space within the last two years. Our current and potential competitors may have one or more of the following significant advantages over us:
· greater financial, technical and marketing resources;
· better name recognition;
· more comprehensive security solutions;
· better or more extensive cooperative relationships; and
· larger customer base.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing or new competitors. Some of our competitors may have, in relation to us, one or more of the following: longer operating histories, longer-standing relationships with OEM and end-user customers and greater customer service, public relations and other resources. As a result, these competitors may be able to more quickly develop or adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Additionally, it is likely that new competitors or alliances among existing competitors could emerge and rapidly acquire significant market
share.
If we fail to respond to rapid technological changes in the network security industry, we may lose customers or our products may become obsolete.
The network security industry is characterized by frequent product introductions, rapidly changing technology and continued evolution of new industry standards. We must also introduce upgrades to our products rapidly in response to customer needs such as new computer viruses or other novel external attacks on computer networks. In addition, the nature of the network security industry requires our products to be compatible and interoperable with numerous security products, networking products, workstation and personal computer architectures and computer and network operating systems offered by various vendors, including our competitors. As a result, our success depends upon our ability to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products and enhancements to our existing products that meet changing customer requirements and evolving industry standards. The development of technologically advanced network security products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, rapid response and accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market or support new or enhanced products successfully in a timely manner. Further, we or our competitors may introduce new products or product enhancements that shorten the life cycle of our existing products or cause our existing products to become obsolete.
Our products are highly technical and if they contain undetected errors, our business could be adversely affected and we might have to defend lawsuits or pay damages in connection with any alleged or actual failure of our products and services.
Our products are highly technical and complex, are critical to the operation of many networks and, in the case of our security products, provide and monitor network security and may protect valuable information. Our products have contained and may contain one or more undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our products may only be discovered after a product has been installed and used by end customers. Any errors or security vulnerabilities discovered in our products after commercial release could result in loss of revenues or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort or breach of warranty. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert managements attention. In addition, if our business liability insurance coverage is inadequate or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our financial condition could be harmed.
A breach of network security could harm public perception of our security products, which could cause us to lose revenues.
If an actual or perceived breach of network security occurs in the network of a customer of our security products, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to our products, the market perception of the effectiveness of our products could be harmed. This could cause us to lose current and potential end customers or cause us to lose current and potential value-added resellers and distributors. Because the techniques used by computer hackers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques.
If our products do not interoperate with our customers networks, installations will be delayed or cancelled and could harm our business.
Our products are designed to interface with our customers existing networks, each of which have different specifications and utilize multiple protocol standards and products from other vendors. Many of our customers networks contain multiple generations of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products will be required to interoperate with many or all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers requirements. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers networks, we may have to modify our software or hardware to fix or overcome these errors so that our products will interoperate and scale with the existing software and hardware, which could be costly and negatively impact our operating results. In addition, if our products do not interoperate with those of our customers networks, demand for our products could be adversely affected, orders for our products could be cancelled or our products could be returned. This could hurt our operating results, damage our reputation and seriously harm our business and prospects.
Our products can have long sales and implementation cycles, which may result in us incurring substantial expenses before realizing any associated revenues.
The sale and implementation of our products to large companies and government entities typically involves a lengthy education process and a significant technical evaluation and commitment of capital and other resources. This process is also subject to the risk of delays associated with customers internal budgeting and other procedures for approving capital
expenditures, deploying new technologies within their networks and testing and accepting new technologies that affect key operations. As a result, sales and implementation cycles for our products can be lengthy, and we may expend significant time and resources before we receive any revenues from a customer or potential customer. Our quarterly and annual operating results could be materially harmed if orders forecasted for a specific customer for a particular period are not realized.
Consolidation in the network security industry may limit market acceptance of our products.
Several of our competitors have acquired security companies with complementary technologies in the past. We expect consolidation in the network security industry to continue in the future. These acquisitions may permit our competitors to accelerate the development and commercialization of broader product lines and more comprehensive solutions than we currently offer. Acquisitions of vendors or other companies with which we have a strategic relationship by our competitors may limit our access to commercially significant technologies. Further, business combinations in the network security industry are creating companies with larger market shares, customer bases, sales forces, product offerings and technology and marketing expertise, which may make it more difficult for us to compete.
We must adequately protect our intellectual property in order to prevent loss of valuable proprietary information.
We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and non-disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary technology. However, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or reverse-engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. This is particularly true in foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and may not provide us with an effective remedy against unauthorized use. If our protection of our intellectual property proves to be inadequate or unenforceable, others may be able to use our proprietary developments without compensation to us, resulting in potential cost advantages to our competitors.
We may incur substantial expenses defending ourselves against claims of infringement.
There are numerous patents held by many companies relating to the design and manufacture of network security systems. Third parties may claim that our products infringe on their intellectual property rights. Any claim, with or without merit, could consume our managements time, result in costly litigation, cause delays in sales or implementations of our products or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty and licensing agreements, if required and available, may be on terms unacceptable to us or detrimental to our business. Moreover, a successful claim of product infringement against us or our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology on commercially reasonable terms could seriously harm our business.
Fluctuations in our quarterly revenues may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in the past, and we expect our operating results to vary from quarter to quarter in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Significant portions of our expenses are not variable in the short term and we cannot reduce them quickly to respond to unexpected decreases in revenues. Therefore, if revenues are below our expectations, this shortfall is likely to adversely and disproportionately affect our operating results. Accordingly, we may not attain positive operating margins in future quarters. Any of these factors could cause our operating results to be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which likely would negatively affect the price of our common stock.
The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future due to factors outside of our control.
The market price of our common stock has been highly volatile in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future. For example, in fiscal year 2009, the market price of our common stock on The OTCBB Market fluctuated between $0.13 and $0.84 per share. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including:
· variations in our quarterly operating results;
· changes in estimates of our financial performance by securities analysts;
· changes in market valuations of our competitors;
· announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
· product or design flaws, product recalls or similar occurrences;
· additions or departures of key personnel;
· sales of common stock in the future; and
· fluctuations in stock market prices and volume, which can be particularly common among network security and other high technology companies.
Our acquisition of complementary products or businesses may adversely affect our financial condition.
We have made acquisitions in the past and, in the future we may acquire or invest in additional companies, business units, product lines or technologies to accelerate the development of products and sales channels complementary to our existing products and sales channels. Negotiation of potential acquisitions and integration of acquired products, technologies or businesses could divert our managements time and resources. Future acquisitions could cause us to issue equity securities that would dilute your ownership of us, incur debt or contingent liabilities, amortize intangible assets or write off in-process research and development, goodwill and other acquisition-related expenses that could seriously harm our financial condition and operating results. Further, if we are not able to properly integrate acquired products, technologies or businesses with our existing products and operations, train, retain and motivate personnel from the acquired business or combine potentially different corporate cultures, we may not receive the intended benefits of our acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Compliance with export regulations may hinder our sales to foreign customers.
Certain of our data security products incorporate encryption and other technology that may require clearance and export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce under United States export regulations. Any inability to obtain these clearances or licenses or any foreign regulatory approvals, if required, on a timely basis could delay sales and have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Our headquarters are located in a two-story building in Richardson, Texas. We occupy approximately 28,000 square feet of floor space in this facility. This facility includes our corporate administration, operations, marketing, research and development, engineering, sales and technical support personnel. The lease for this facility extends through December 2012.
Approximately thirty percent of our security software research and development and engineering staff are located in two separate small facilities in San Diego, California. These leases are currently set to expire in March 2011. Research and development and engineering personnel occupy these facilities.
We believe that the existing facilities at December 31, 2009 will be adequate to meet our requirements through 2010. We believe that all facilities are adequately covered by appropriate property insurance. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our obligations under leases.
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any claims exist where the outcome of such matters would have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact on future results.
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Our common stock trades on The OTCBB, where it is currently listed under the symbol INTZ. As of March 5, 2010, there were approximately 125 registered holders of record of the common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing price per share for the common stock, as reported by The OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock in our two most recent fiscal years. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends on common stock, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. However, shares of our 5% convertible preferred stock accrue cash dividends equal to $0.25 per share per annum, payable in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year, and shares of our Series 2 5% and Series 3 5% convertible preferred stock accrue cash dividends equal to $0.125 and $0.109 per share per annum, respectively, payable in arrears on the first business day of March, June, September and December of each year. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, we accrued $58,000 in dividends to the holders of our 5% Preferred Stock, $57,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $39,000 in dividends to the holders of our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2009, we have dividends accrued of $140,000 related to our 5% Preferred Stock, $120,000 related to our Series 2 5% Preferred Stock and $81,000 related to our Series 3 5% Preferred Stock. Delaware law provides that we may only pay dividends out of our capital surplus or, if no surplus is available, out of our net profits for the fiscal year the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. All past due dividends and penalties were paid in February 2010.
All stock option plans under which our common stock is reserved for issuance have previously been approved by our shareholders. The following table provides summary information as of December 31, 2009 for all of our equity compensation plans (in thousands, except per share data).

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This Annual Report, including the sections entitled Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Description of Business, contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as may, could, expect, intend, plan, seek, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential, continue, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, which we describe in more detail elsewhere in this prospectus under the heading Risk Factors, include, but are not limited to:
· failure to respond to rapid technological changes in the network security industry;
· failure of our network intrusion detection, regulated information compliance, and entity identification products to achieve market acceptance;
· our status as a developmental stage company;
· our need to generate substantially greater revenues from sales in order to achieve profitability;
· intense competition from both start-up and established companies that may have significant advantages over us and our products;
· disruption to our business due to military actions;
· long sales and implementation cycles of our products;
· insufficient cash to operate our business;
· the effect of consolidation in the network security industry;
· risks involved with Government and international customers;
· our inability to expand our sales;
· failure to adequately protect our intellectual property; or
· the rights of the holders of our preferred stock and the terms of our secured credit line.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. Any forward-looking statement you read in this filing reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act, each of which provide protection in connection with certain forward-looking statements, do not directly protect any statements we make in connection with this Annual Report.
Overview
We develop, market and support a family of entity identification products, data mining, regulated information compliance and data privacy protection, and network intrusion prevention/detection products. Our product families include:
· TraceCop for identity identification;
· Savant for data mining;
· Compliance Commander for regulated information compliance and data privacy protection; and
· SecureNet for network intrusion prevention and detection.
Intrusions products help protect critical information assets by quickly detecting, protecting, analyzing and reporting attacks or misuse of classified, private and regulated information for government and enterprise networks.
Our revenues have decreased over the past few years due primarily to the change in our product focus from networking hardware to network security software products with a corresponding decrease in our sales volume related to this change in our product mix. To date, we have not encountered significant competition in the market that has caused us to decrease our sales prices when compared to sales prices in previous years. To help bring our operations in line with our new strategic focus, we held our employee headcount approximately constant in 2009. At December 31, 2008 we employed 26 employees and at December 31, 2009 we employed 27 employees. As a result of our migration to software-based solutions, our margins have improved from previous years to 66.8% in 2008, and 66.2% in 2009. We have also restructured our personnel and operations around the development and sale of our core software products. As a result of these efforts, we believe we have reduced operating expenses to a level that will remain consistent going forward.
In order for us to operate and grow our business, we must continue to sustain operating profits and cash flow positive. This will require us to counteract reduced sales of our SecureNet products by generating additional revenues from sales of our entity identification software, data mining and regulated information compliance products. In order to obtain these sales, our products must gain acceptance in intensely competitive and emerging markets. We believe our ability to introduce our TraceCop, Savant and Compliance Commander products into the marketplace in a timely manner and our efforts to maintain our reduced spending levels will help us achieve these results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of 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 these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, maintenance contracts and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment of product. We accrue for estimated warranty costs and sales returns at the time of shipment based on our experience. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized over the contractual period the services are performed, generally one year. There is a risk that technical issues on new products could result in unexpected warranty costs and returns. However, as we migrate to more of a software-based business model, the warranty costs should continue to decline. To the extent that they do decline, our warranty reserve from current sales will decrease. To the extent that our warranty costs exceed our expectations, we will increase our warranty reserve to compensate for the additional expense expected to be incurred. We review these estimates periodically and determine the appropriate reserve percentage. However, to date, warranty costs and sales returns have not been material. Historically, our estimates for these items have not differed materially from actual results. Significant or subjective estimates associated with our revenue recognition policy include our estimate of warranty cost and sales returns.
We recognize software revenue from the licensing of our software products in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 whereby revenue from the licensing of our products is not recognized until all four of the following criteria have been met: i) execution of a written agreement; ii) delivery of the product has occurred; iii) the fee is fixed and determinable; and iv) collectability is probable. Bundled hardware and perpetual software product sales are recognized at time of delivery, as our licenses are not sold on a subscription basis. In the case of multiple product and service sales, we perform a Vendor Specific Objective Evidence analysis to appropriately determine the amount of revenue derived from each deliverable. If our license strategy changes and we begin to offer licenses on a subscription basis, we would perform this analysis in a similar manner. Under these circumstances, the revenue related to the license would be recognized ratably over the subscription period. Market values are easily obtained for all of our product offerings, as we have historical sales information on our product offerings. We defer and recognize maintenance and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.
We have signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive.
We generally recognize service revenue upon delivery of the contracted service. Service revenue, primarily including maintenance, training and installation, are recognized upon delivery of the service and typically are unrelated to product sales. To date, training and installation revenue has not been material.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Returns
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our receivables are uncollaterized and we expect to continue this policy in the future. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Historically, our estimates for sales returns and doubtful accounts have not differed materially from actual results.
Inventory
We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Historically, our estimates for inventory obsolescence have not differed materially from actual results.

2009 compared with 2008
Net Revenue
Total revenue increased 18.8% to $4.9 million in 2009 from $4.1 million in 2008. The increase in revenue is related to increased sales from our TraceCop product lines. Our customer support and maintenance revenue decreased 51.6% from $0.6 million in 2008 to $0.3 million in 2009. This decline is mainly due to the expiration of maintenance contracts related to our SecureNet product line. Our product revenues increased 30.2% from $3.6 million in 2008 to $4.6 million in 2009. We expect our product revenues to increase in the future as the market acceptance of our TraceCop, Savant and Compliance Commander product lines increase.
Export sales in 2009 decreased to $49 thousand, or 1.0% of net revenue, compared to $0.2 million, or 4.7% of net revenue in 2008 primarily due to our focus on domestic revenue sales. As part of our headcount reductions, we have focused most of our sales personnel on the domestic market. Sales of our products internationally may be subject to exchange risk, which may cause our products to effectively increase in price, if the exchange rate moves significantly and the dollar gains value over the foreign currency.
Historically, due to the timing of our sales cycle, a significant portion of our monthly sales occurs in the second half of the month. Accordingly, our receivables increase at the end of each month, which causes a higher accounts receivable balance at month end. This monthly trend also causes an inflated comparative relationship between revenue and accounts receivable. We believe that this monthly trend will continue because monthly sales forecast and planning meetings are held in the first week of every month, the middle of the month is focused on sales calls to customers and the later half of the month on closing sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 18% to $3.3 million in 2009 from $2.8 million in 2008. As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit decreased slightly from 66.8% in 2008 to 66.2% in 2009. Gross profit on products increased from 62.1% in 2008 to 64.5% in 2009. Gross profit remained high in 2009 due to revenue growth and product mix that includes an increase in TraceCop sales with a decrease in SecureNet sales. Gross profit on customer support and maintenance decreased from 96.0% in 2008 to 94.9% in 2009.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, sales volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, pricing strategies, and fluctuations in sales of integrated third-party products.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 34.5% to $0.9 million in 2009 from $1.4 million in 2008, as we continued to reduce expenses to respond to current efforts to become profitable. As a percentage of net revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased from 34.0% in 2008 to 18.7% in 2009. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as net revenue levels increase in 2010.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses remained constant at $1.1 million, or 22.5% of net revenue in 2009 compared to $1.1 million or 27.4% of net revenue in 2008. Our research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. We expect research and development expenses to increase as net revenue levels increase in 2010.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $1.0 million, or 19.9% of net revenue in 2009 compared to $1.0 million or 23.4 % of net revenue in 2008 as a result of continuing to keep spending under control. We expect general and administration expenses to increase as net revenue levels increase in 2010.
Interest Expense
Interest expense remained relatively constant at $64 thousand in 2009 compared to $62 thousand in 2008. Interest expense will vary in the future based on our cash flow and borrowing needs.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 0% in 2009 and 2008 as valuation allowances have been recorded for the entire amount of the net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of realization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2009 were $0.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2009, we do not hold investments with a stated maturity beyond one year. Working capital deficiency at December 31, 2009 was $(0.2) million compared to $(1.3) million at December 31, 2008.
Net cash used in operations in 2009 was $469 thousand, primarily due to a $998 thousand decrease in deferred revenue for the year and the following uses of cash: a $12 thousand increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $10 thousand increase in accounts receivable. This was partially offset by the following sources of cash and non-cash items: net income of $186 thousand for the year, a $164 thousand increase in accounts payable, $107 thousand in stock-based compensation, a $13 thousand decrease in inventories, and $81 thousand in depreciation expense. Net cash used in operations in 2008 was $112 thousand, primarily due to a net loss of $808 thousand for the year and the following uses of cash: a $191
thousand increase in accounts receivable, a $40 thousand decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts, and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities totaling $122 thousand. This was partially offset by the following sources of cash and non-cash items: a $778 thousand increase in deferred revenue, a $127 thousand decrease in inventories, a $19 thousand decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, $75 thousand in stock-based compensation, and $50 thousand in depreciation expense. Future fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory balances and accounts payable will be dependent upon several factors, including quarterly sales, timely collection of accounts receivable, and the accuracy of our forecasts of product demand and component requirements.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2009 was $57 thousand for net purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities in 2008 was $76 thousand for net purchases of property and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities in 2009 was $491 thousand, primarily consisting of net financing proceeds from a loan by an officer of $490 thousand; compared to cash provided by financing activities in 2008 was $380 thousand, primarily consisting of net financing proceeds from a loan by an officer of $480 thousand and a net reduction in the line of credit of $100 thousand.
At December 31, 2009, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. Operating lease commitments of $1.1 million are detailed in the Contractual Obligations section below. During 2009, we funded our operations through the use of available cash, cash equivalents and investments, our line of credit and loans from our Companys CEO.
As of December 31, 2009, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments in the amount of approximately $0.5 million, down from approximately $0.6 million as of December 31, 2008. Throughout 2009, we continued to reduce expenses and realize the benefit of cost-cutting actions taken in previous years.
On February 4, 2010, the Company extended a revolving promissory note to borrow up to $700,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer through March 2011.
On February 4, 2010, we received a written commitment from our Chief Executive Officer to invest up to an additional $1,500,000 in the Company until March 2011, should such funding be required by the Company, on terms and conditions similar to the promissory note above.
On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit with SVB (the 2006 Credit Line). On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with SVB to, among other things, replace the 2006 Credit Line with a $2.5 million line of credit (the 2008 Credit Line). On June 28, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the Loan Agreement) with SVB to replace the 2008 Credit Line with a $1.25 million line of credit (the Current Line of Credit). Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including all of our intellectual property. In addition, G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, has established a Guaranty Agreement with SVB for all outstanding balances under the Current Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Current Line of Credit are based on advances (each an Advance) against certain of our accounts receivable that are approved by SVB (each an Eligible Account). SVB may make an Advance of up to eighty percent (80%) of each Eligible Account, or such other percentage SVB may determine in its sole discretion. Each Advance is subject to a finance charge calculated as a daily rate that is based on a 360-day annual rate of the greater of the prime rate or 5.25%, plus 2.0%. Finance charges are payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance is also subject to a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.5% of all outstanding Advances, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Loan Agreement. The collateral handling fee is payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance must be repaid at the earliest of (a) the date that the Eligible Account related to the Advance is paid, (b) the date the Eligible Account is no longer eligible under the Loan Agreement, or (c) the date on which any Adjustment (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is asserted to the Eligible Account. On June 27, 2010, the Loan Agreement terminates and all outstanding Advances, accrued but unpaid finance charges, outstanding collateral handing fees, and other amounts become due under the Loan Agreement and related documents. We have certain non-financial and financial covenants, including a liquidity coverage ratio and a rolling EBITDA computation, as defined in the Loan Agreement. We have no borrowings outstanding under the Current Line of Credit as of December 31, 2009 and had borrowings available of $152,000.
As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $519,000, down from approximately $554,000 as of December 31, 2008. We generated net income of $379,000 in the last quarter of 2009 and $186,000 net income for the year 2009 compared to a net loss for the year 2008 of $808,000. We used $469,000 of cash in operations in 2009 and operating cash outflows may continue in 2010. We are obligated to make payments of accrued dividends on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock that will reduce our available cash resources. As of December 31, 2009, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $519,000, we had $152,000 in funding available under our $1.25 million line of credit at Silicon
Valley Bank, and $1.2 million funding available from a written commitment to invest up to $1.5 million from G. Ward Paxton, our CEO. Based on projections for continued growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, a commitment from the Companys CEO to advance the Company up to an additional $1.2 million in funding should it be necessary and $1.25 million line of credit with borrowings available of $152,000 at December 31, 2009, we believe that our available credit line and available cash resources will provide sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our operations through Company profits, our line of credit, borrowings from the Companys CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.
We intend to explore the possible acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our existing business. We are continuing to identify and prioritize additional security technologies, which we may wish to develop, either internally or through the licensing or acquisition of products from third parties. While we engage from time to time in discussions with respect to potential acquisitions, there can be no assurances that any such acquisitions will be made or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business. In order to finance such acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the future contractual obligations under our operating leases at December 31, 2009. We have no other significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2009.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Companys financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Companys management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Managements evaluation included an assessment of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and the Companys overall control environment. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the year ended December 31, 2009 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Companys financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company reviewed the results of managements assessment with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report. This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Companys disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended December 31, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 and 2008
INTRUSION INC.
RICHARDSON, TEXAS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Intrusion Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Intrusion Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes 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 Companys 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Intrusion Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INTRUSION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
We develop, market, and support a family of entity identification, data mining, regulated information compliance, data privacy protection and network intrusion prevention/detection products. Our product families include: TraceCop for identity identification, Savant for data mining, Compliance Commander for regulated information and data privacy protection, and SecureNet for network intrusion prevention and detection. Intrusions products help protect critical information assets by quickly detecting, protecting, analyzing and reporting attacks or misuse of classified, private and regulated information for government and enterprise networks.
We market and distribute our products through a direct sales force to end-users, distributors and numerous system integrators, managed service providers and value-added resellers. Our end-user customers include banks, credit unions, other financial institutions, U.S. federal government entities, foreign government entities, hospitals and other healthcare providers. Essentially, our end-user can be defined as any end-user requiring network security solutions for protecting their mission critical data.
We were organized in Texas in September 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in October 1995. For more than 15 years, we provided local area networking equipment and were known as Optical Data Systems or ODS Networks. On April 17, 2000, we sold, or otherwise disposed of, our networking divisions, which included our Essential Communications division and our local area networking assets. On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com, Inc., and our ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on intrusion prevention and detection solutions, along with information compliance and data privacy protection products. On November 1, 2001, we changed our name from Intrusion.com, Inc. to Intrusion Inc.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 East Arapaho Road, Suite 200, Richardson, Texas 75081, and our telephone number is (972) 234-6400. Our website URL is www.intrusion.com.
References to the Company, we, us, our or Intrusion Inc. refer to Intrusion Inc. and its subsidiaries. Compliance Commander, SecureNet and TraceCop are registered trademarks of Intrusion Inc.
As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $519,000, down from approximately $554,000 as of December 31, 2008. We generated net income of $379,000 in the last quarter of 2009 and $186,000 net income for the year 2009 compared to a net loss for the year 2008 of $808,000. We used $469,000 of cash in operations in 2009 and operating cash outflows may continue in 2010. We are obligated to make payments of accrued dividends on all our outstanding shares of preferred stock that will reduce our available cash resources. As of December 31, 2009, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $519,000, we had $152,000 in funding available under our $1.25 million line of credit at Silicon Valley Bank, and $1.2 million funding available from a written commitment to invest up to $1.5 million from G. Ward Paxton, our CEO. Based on projections for continued growth in revenue and net income in the coming quarters, a commitment from the Companys CEO to advance the Company up to an additional $1.2 million in funding should it be necessary and $1.25 million line of credit with borrowings available of $152,000 at December 31, 2009, we believe that our available credit line and available cash resources will provide sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We expect to fund our operations through Company profits, our line of credit, borrowings from the Companys CEO, and possibly additional investments of private equity and debt, which, if we are able to obtain, will have the effect of diluting our existing common stockholders, perhaps significantly. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
Risk Concentration
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalent deposits are at risk to the extent that they exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. To minimize risk, we place our investments in U.S. government obligations, corporate securities and money market funds. Substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and investments are maintained with two major U.S. financial institutions. We do not believe that we are subject to any unusual financial risk with our banking arrangements. We have not experienced any significant losses on our cash and cash equivalents.
We sell our products to customers in diversified industries worldwide and periodically have receivables from customers, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and adverse economic developments in foreign countries could adversely affect the Companys operating results. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers financial condition and generally require no collateral. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses, in the aggregate, have historically been minimal and have not exceeded managements expectations.
While we believe that many of the materials used in the production of our products are generally readily available from a variety of sources, certain components may be available from one or a limited number of suppliers. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could impact future results.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on managements assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and an increase to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We value our inventories using average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Our management estimates the allowance required to state inventory at the lower of cost or market. There is a risk that we will forecast demand for our products and market conditions incorrectly and maintain excess inventories. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not maintain excess inventory and incur inventory lower of cost or market charges in the future.
Property and Equipment
Equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such lives vary from 1 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining terms of the leases. Such lives vary from 2 to 5 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $81,000 and $50,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets, including property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and
used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are written down to fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no impairment of long-lived assets.
Foreign Currency
All assets and liabilities in the balance sheet of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated at year-end exchange rates. All revenues and expenses in the statement of operations, of these foreign subsidiaries, are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net loss but are shown in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders deficit section of the consolidated balance sheet. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net loss and were not significant.
Accounting for Stock Options
We account for stock options using the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718, which replaces SFAS 123(R) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the years ended 2009 and 2008 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, reduced by estimated forfeitures. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Valuation Assumptions
The fair values of option awards were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for fiscal years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility and in part on implied volatility. The expected term considers the contractual term of the option as well as historical exercise and forfeiture behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rates in effect on the grant date for U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities matching the relevant expected term of the award.
Net Loss Per Share
We report two separate earnings per share (EPS) numbers, basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the year. Our common stock equivalents include all common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. The aggregate number of common stock equivalents excluded from the loss per share calculation at December 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled 1,624,309 and 4,219,138, respectively. Common stock equivalents are included in the diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 except in cases where the issuance would be anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment. These products include both hardware and perpetual software licenses, as we do not currently offer software on a subscription basis. We accrue for estimated warranty costs and sales returns at the time of shipment based on our experience. There is a risk that technical issues on new products could result in unexpected warranty costs and returns. However, as we migrate to more of a software-based business model, the warranty costs should continue to decline. To the extent that they do decline, our warranty reserve will decrease. To the extent that our warranty costs exceed our expectations, we will increase our warranty reserve to compensate for the additional expense expected to be incurred. We review these estimates periodically and determine the appropriate reserve percentage. However, to date, warranty costs and sales returns have not been material. The customer may return a product only under very limited circumstances during the first thirty days from delivery for a replacement if the product is damaged or for a full refund if the product does not perform as intended. Historically, most or our sales returns were related to hardware-based products. As we continue to migrate away from the hardware-based products, these returns have declined.
We recognize software revenue from the licensing of our software products in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 whereby revenue from the licensing of our products is not recognized until all four of the following have been met: i) execution of a written agreement; ii) delivery of the product has occurred; iii) the fee is fixed and determinable; and iv) collectability is probable. Bundled hardware and software product revenue is recognized at time of delivery, as our licenses are not sold on a subscription basis. In the case of product sales, which include maintenance and customer support, a Vendor Specific Objective Evidence analysis would be performed to appropriately determine the amount of revenue derived from each deliverable. All of our product offering and service offering market values are readily determined based on current and prior stand-alone sales. We defer and recognize maintenance and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.
Service revenue, primarily including maintenance, training and installation are recognized upon delivery of the service and typically are unrelated to product sales. To date, training and installation revenue has not been material. These revenues are included in net customer support and maintenance revenues in the statement of operations.
Our normal payment terms offered to customers, distributors and resellers are net 30 days domestically and net 45 days internationally. We do not offer payment terms that extend beyond one year and rarely do we extend payment terms beyond our normal terms. If certain customers do not meet our credit standards, we do require payment in advance to limit our credit exposure.
Shipping and handling costs are billed to the customer and included in product revenue. Our costs of shipping and handling are included in product cost of revenue.
Research and Development Costs
We incur research and development costs that relate primarily to the development of new security software, appliances and integrated solutions, and major enhancements to existing services and products. Research and development costs are comprised primarily of salaries and related benefits expenses, contract labor and prototype and other related expenses.
Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. FASB ASC Topic 350 requires that software development costs incurred subsequent to reaching technological feasibility be capitalized, if material. If the process of developing a new product or major enhancement does not include a detailed program design, technological feasibility is determined only after completion of a working model. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short, and the software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, sales discounts, sales returns, revenue recognition, warranty costs, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
FASB ASC 740 creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There are no unrecognized tax benefits to disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2009 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, currently within the scope of ASC 105-10. ASC 105-10 identifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the authoritative source of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for Securities and Exchange Commission registrants. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and the Company adopted the provisions of this guidance as of September 30, 2009. The Companys adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Topic 605Revenue Recognition (EITF 08-1, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)) and Topic 985Software (EITF 09-3, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB Topic 985, Software)). Topic 605Revenue Recognition requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. Topic 985Software removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. Topic 605Revenue Recognition and Topic 985Software should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of Topic 605Revenue Recognition and Topic 985Software on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
We lease office space for our corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas under an operating lease, the base term of which expires in December 2012. We lease office space in San Diego, California for a portion of our security software research and development staff under an operating lease that expires in March 2011.
The Companys lease for the headquarters facility contains escalation provisions. The Company records rent expense on facility leases on a straight-line basis. Real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses are the obligations of the Company. Rent expense totaled approximately $354,000 and $458,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Legal Proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.
We are not aware of any material claims outstanding or pending against Intrusion Inc. at December 31, 2009.
5. Employee Benefit Plan
Employee 401(k) Plan
We have a plan known as the Intrusion Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) to provide retirement and incidental benefits for our employees. The Plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax deferred salary deductions for eligible employees.
Employees may contribute from 1% to 25% of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum amount as set by the Internal Revenue Service. Participants who are over the age of 50 may contribute an additional amount of their salary per year, as defined annually by the Internal Revenue Service. We match employee contributions at the rate of $0.25
per each $1.00 of contribution on the first 4% of compensation. Matching contributions to the Plan were approximately $19,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
6. Line of Credit
On March 29, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) to establish a $1.0 million line of credit with SVB (the 2006 Credit Line). On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with SVB to, among other things, replace the 2006 Credit Line with a $2.5 million line of credit (the 2008 Credit Line). On June 28, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the Loan Agreement) with SVB to replace the 2008 Credit Line with a $1.25 million line of credit (the Current Line of Credit). Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including all of our intellectual property. In addition, G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, has established a Guaranty Agreement with SVB for all outstanding balances under the Current Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Current Line of Credit are based on advances (each an Advance) against certain of our accounts receivable that are approved by SVB (each an Eligible Account). SVB may make an Advance of up to eighty percent (80%) of each Eligible Account, or such other percentage SVB may determine in its sole discretion. Each Advance is subject to a finance charge calculated as a daily rate that is based on a 360-day annual rate of the greater of the prime rate or 5.25%, plus 2.0%. Finance charges are payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance is also subject to a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.5% of all outstanding Advances, depending on certain qualifying financial factors specified in the Loan Agreement. The collateral handling fee is payable at the same time its related Advance is due. Each Advance must be repaid at the earliest of (a) the date that the Eligible Account related to the Advance is paid, (b) the date the Eligible Account is no longer eligible under the Loan Agreement, or (c) the date on which any Adjustment (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is asserted to the Eligible Account. On June 27, 2010, the Loan Agreement terminates and all outstanding Advances, accrued but unpaid finance charges, outstanding collateral handing fees, and other amounts become due under the Loan Agreement and related documents. We have certain non-financial and financial covenants, including a liquidity coverage ratio and a rolling EBITDA computation, as defined in the Loan Agreement. We have no borrowings outstanding under the Current Line of Credit as of December 31, 2009 and had borrowings available of $152,000.
7. Borrowings from Officer
On January 30, 2008, and extended on October 24, 2008, March 19, 2009 and February 4, 2010, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to $700,000 from G. Ward Paxton, the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the note, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow on the loan as needed up to an outstanding principal balance due of $700,000 at any given time.
On March 20, 2008 and extended on November 7, 2008 and February 4, 2010, we received a written commitment from our Chief Executive Officer to invest up to an additional $1,500,000 in the Company until March 2011, should such funding be required by the Company, on terms and conditions identical to those described above on the $700,000 note.
Amounts borrowed from this officer accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to SVBs prime rate plus 1% (5% at December 31, 2009). All outstanding borrowings and accrued but unpaid interest is due on March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2009 the borrowings outstanding totaled $970,000 and accrued interest totaled $39,000. The Company paid approximately $52,000 in interest to the officer during 2008 and none during 2009.
8. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. There are no deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Significant components of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of the future benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Companys ability to generate taxable income within the near to medium term. Management has considered these factors in determining the valuation allowance for 2009 and 2008.

At December 31, 2009, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $85.7 million for income tax purposes that began to expire in 2009 and are subject to the ownership change limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. We also had approximately $6 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that begin to expire in 2017.
9. Stock Options
At December 31, 2009, we had three stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. These plans were developed to retain and attract key employees and directors.
In 1995, we adopted our 1995 Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Plan), which provides for the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1995 Plan. In 2000 and 2001, our stockholders approved to increase the overall number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the plan to a total of 825,000 shares of common stock. The 1995 Plan provides for the issuance of both non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees, officers, and employee-directors. The 1995 Plan expired by its terms on March 21, 2005 and no options were available for future issuance after the expiration. At December 31, 2009, 67,365 employee options have been exercised and employee options to purchase a total of 210,000 shares of common stock are outstanding.
In 1995, we adopted the 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan). The 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan provided for the issuance of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors. The 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan was amended in April 2002 to increase the number of shares available for issuance to 65,000 from 40,000 shares. The 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan expired by its terms on March 21, 2005 and no options were available for future issuance after the expiration. No options have been exercised under the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan. Non-employee options to purchase a total of 32,500 shares of common stock are outstanding at December 31, 2009. A total of 62,500 options have been granted to directors pursuant to the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan, of which, 30,000 have been
cancelled.
On March 17, 2005, the Board approved the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan), which was approved by the stockholders on June 14, 2005. The 2005 Plan serves as a replacement for the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan and the 1995 Option Plan which expired by their terms on March 21, 2005. The approval of the 2005 Plan had no effect on the 1995 Plans or any options granted pursuant to either plan. All options will continue with their existing terms and will be subject to the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan or the 1995 Plan, as applicable. Further, the Company will not be able to re-issue any option which is cancelled or terminated under the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan or the 1995 Option Plan. The 2005 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan. On May 30, 2007, the Stockholders approved an Amendment to the 2005 Plan that increased this amount by 750,000 for a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan. On May 29, 2008 and May 21, 2009, the Stockholders approved an increase of 500,000 shares respectively of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan for a total of 2,500,000 shares.
The 2005 Plan consists of three (3) separate equity incentive programs: the Discretionary Option Grant Program; the Stock Issuance Program; and the Automatic Option Grant Program for non-employee Board members. Officers and employees, non-employee Board members and independent contractors are eligible to participate in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs. Participation in the Automatic Option Grant Program is limited to non-employee members of the Board. Each non-employee Board member will receive an option grant for 10,000 shares of common stock upon initial election or appointment to the Board, provided that individual has not previously been employed by the Company in the preceding six (6) months. In addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting, each Board member will automatically be granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock, provided he or she has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six (6) months. At December 31, 2009, 3,001 options have been exercised and options to purchase a total of 1,667,499 shares of common stock are outstanding. A total of 2,013,500 options have been granted under the 2005 Plan, of which 343,000 have been cancelled and options for 829,500 shares remain available for future grant. No shares have been issued pursuant to the Stock Issuance Program.
Common shares reserved for future issuance, including conversions of preferred stock, warrants, outstanding options and options available for future grant under all of the stock option plans total 4,810,604 shares at December 31, 2009 as follows, in thousands:

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors determines for all employee options, the term of each option, option exercise price within limits set forth in the plans, number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable (generally ratably over one, three or five years from grant date). However, the exercise price of any incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date granted (or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of optionees holding more than 10% of our voting stock of the Company), and the term cannot exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of our voting stock).
