Operational Highlights

Ipisdy continued to make progress in executing our strategy, building our team, enhancing our identity transaction platform, establishing sales channels and launching our new identity solutions across several vertical and international markets, including the following activities:

    --  Continued to develop our frictionless IP Camera solution to enhance our
        Access(TM) solution by leveraging our Ayonix license and allowing for
        edge processing of facial biometric extraction, tracking and matching.
    --  Launched Verified(TM) Portal with Safetrade's Xpressa Payment Solutions
        in South Africa, to quickly identify merchant customers of its online
        payment gateway and to authorize account profile changes. Verified

        customer service.
    --  Launched Proof(TM), our new identity proofing solution, available
        through Ipsidy's new Identity Portal and via integration. Our partner,

        plus financial institutions with millions of account holders in 31
        countries.

        solution for physical access management, to their customers across the
        United States, including religious institutions, schools and other
        non-profit organizations.
    --  Working with RemoteLok to produce a combined solution comprising
        RemoteLok's EdgeState platform and Ipsidy's Access(TM), to enable
        biometrically authenticated, authorized users to open door locks, with a
        blink and a smile.
    --  Added Noftek to the Ipsidy Partner Network in order to offer Proof and
        Verified as part of its suite of data protection and IT security
        solutions in the Caribbean market.
    --  Announced agreement with Mobile Solutions Peru to launch Ipsidy
        solutions in Peru and Chile, with the first customer, Boxer Security,

Non-GAAP Financial Information.

The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this statement. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation. These non-GAAP key business indicators, which include Adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered replacements for and should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense (stock options and restricted stock) and (6) certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Please see Table 1 below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
