Common Stock, $0.001 Par Value 18,674,980 (Title of Class) (No. of Shares Outstanding at March 24, 2022) DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: Proxy for Annual Meeting of Stockholders May 4, 2022 EXPLANATORY NOTE References throughout this Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A to “we,” “us,” the “Company” or “our company” are to Intellicheck, Inc. unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise indicates. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (“Form 10-K/A”) to our Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which was originally filed (“Original Filing”) on March 24, 2022, to restate our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and to amend related disclosures, including controls and procedures. As described in more detail in Note 2 to the financial statements, we determined that we improperly accounted for certain option awards issued to employees commencing in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Specifically, awards previously accounted for as equity awards should have been recorded as liability awards commencing at the date of exercise and adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. In addition, the Company failed to sell shares surrendered by employees upon exercise and remit the equivalent amount of funds to the taxing authorities. These errors have caused our previously issued financial statements to understate the amount of liabilities on our balance sheets and overstate/understate our net income /loss on our statement of operations as of and for the periods affected. To correct these errors, we determined that we must restate our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. We also are amending our unaudited financial statements for each of the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020. The amended quarterly financial information will be included in our amendments to Form 10-Q/A to be filed by the Company concurrent with the filing of this Form 10-K/A. Internal Control Considerations In light of the Restatement discussed above, the Company has reassessed the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, and has concluded that a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Specifically, the Company did not maintain a complement of accounting personnel with sufficient knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. GAAP as it relates to the accounting and reporting for equity compensation. This material weakness contributed to a failure to maintain effective controls over the accounting and reporting for stock options. The effects of the material weakness are discussed in more detail in Item 9A, Controls and Procedures. Items Amended in this Form 10-K/A For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety; however, this Form 10-K/A amends and restates only the following items of the Original Filing with respect to the matters affected by this restatement and the matters discussed above: Part I: ● Item 1A – Risk Factors Part II: ● Item 5 – Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities ● Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ● Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data ● Item 9A – Controls and Procedures Part IV: ● Item 15 – Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules We are also filing a Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm at Exhibit 23.1, currently dated signatures from our Directors and currently dated Certifications as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer as exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.

Business OVERVIEW We were originally incorporated in the state of New York in 1994 as Intelli-Check, Inc. In August 1999, we reincorporated in Delaware. On March 14, 2008, our corporation was renamed Intelli-Check - Mobilisa, Inc. after the consummation of the merger with Mobilisa, Inc. (“Mobilisa”) (references to “Intelli-Check” in this annual report refer to the Company prior to the merger with Mobilisa). At the closing of the merger, our headquarters were moved to Mobilisa’s offices in Port Townsend, Washington. On October 27, 2009, we made a further change in our name to Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. On May 4, 2017, with the approval of our shareholders, we changed our name to Intellicheck, Inc. (“Intellicheck,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”). On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Positive Access Corporation (“Positive Access”), a developer of driver license reading technology. The acquisition of Positive Access expanded the Company’s technology portfolio and related product offerings and allowed the Company to reach a larger number of customers through Positive Access’s extensive distribution network. On December 31, 2018, we formally merged the Mobilisa and Positive Access subsidiaries into one corporation under the name Intellicheck, Inc. We are a prominent technology company engaged in developing, integrating and marketing identity verification solutions to address challenges that include commercial retail and banking fraud prevention, access control and identity validation. Intellicheck’s products include solutions for preventing identity fraud across any industry delivered via smartphone, tablet, POS integration, and other electronic devices. We plan to expand our business in the near term by pursuing a strategy designed to increase market share in our existing markets and expand into new product markets that are expected to benefit from fraud prevention and identity validation. For example, we have extended our technologies into online applications to provide identity validation and fraud prevention for the billions of transactions that occur online each day. We have also incorporated biometric, facial recognition and other enhancements to several of our current product offerings in order to stay on the leading edge of technology. We plan to leverage our intellectual property in the markets we are targeting to strengthen our competitive position. Our primary businesses include Identity Systems products, which include commercial applications of identity card reading authentication. Our technologies address problems such as: ■ Commercial Fraud and Risk Management – which may lead to economic losses to financial institutions and merchants from check cashing, debit and credit card transactions, e-commerce as well as other types of fraud such as identity theft that principally use fraudulent identification documents as proof of identity; ■ Instant Credit Card Approval – retail stores and financial institutions use our technology to scan a driver license at a kiosk or at the Point Of Sale (POS) and send the information to underwriters and others to get instant approval for a loyalty-branded credit card. This technique protects consumer data and is significantly more likely to result in a completed transaction compared to in-store personnel asking customers to fill out a paper form; ■ Unauthorized Access – our systems and software are designed to increase security and deter terrorism at airports, shipping ports, rail and bus terminals, military installations, high profile buildings and infrastructure where security is a concern; and ■ Inefficiencies Associated With Manual Data Entry – by reading encoded data contained in the bar code and magnetic stripe of an identification card with a quick swipe or scan of the card, where permitted by law, customers are capable of accurately and instantaneously inputting information into forms, applications and the like without the errors associated with manual data entry. 3 IDENTITY CARD READING AND VERIFICATION SECTOR Background on Identification Documentation Driver license The driver license is the most widely used form of government issued photo identification in North America. The Real ID Act, which became federal law in May 2005, recognizes that the driver license is also a quasi-identification card. In addition to its primary function, the driver license is used to verify identity for social services, firearm sales, check cashing, credit card issuance and use and other applications. Our technology can read the digitally stored barcode information on all currently issued driver licenses (even those that do not comply with the AAMVA/ANSI/ISO standards). Today, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and all 13 Canadian provinces/territories digitally store information on their driver license. Non-driver identification card Each U.S. and Canadian Jurisdiction also provides a non-driver identification card as an alternative form of identification for those unable to acquire a driver license. These identification cards are issued with most of the same data found on a driver license. Military documents also provide a means of identification and contain encoded data as well. Since driver licenses are the most widely used form of legally acceptable government documentation, we refer to all these identification documents as “driver licenses.” Intellicheck Platform software can perform its function on all these forms of identification. Current Challenges Associated with Verifying Identification Documents The high-tech revolution, coupled with the staggering amount of personal information available from data breaches, has created a major problem for those who rely on identification documents. In an age where high-tech scanners, computers and color printers are commonplace, and where personal information so cheap to purchase, fake IDs of the highest quality with the identity theft victim’s actual information on the document are easily obtainable from many locations including college campuses and from multiple sites on the Internet. These fakes appear so real, even law enforcement agencies have encountered difficulty distinguishing them from legally issued documents. Additionally, these high-tech devices can easily alter properly issued forms of ID. Therefore, anyone can gain access to a false identity that gives them the ability, in a commercial transaction, to present fake and stolen credit cards or checks that are supported by false identification. Additionally, starting with only a fraudulent driver license, an individual may be able to create multiple identities, commit fraud, buy age restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco while underage, evade law enforcement and engage in other criminal activities, such as: ● committing identity theft ● gaining entrance to high profile buildings and sensitive infrastructures ● improperly boarding airplanes ● engaging in medical fraud ● committing credit card, debit card and check cashing fraud ● purchasing age restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco while underage, and ● illegally purchasing firearms ● obtaining welfare or other government benefits. ● unlawfully committing pharmacy fraud including false narcotic prescriptions ● committing refund fraud Given the ease with which identification can be falsified, simply looking at a driver license may not be sufficient to verify age or identity and determine if it is fraudulent. Since merchants and financial institutions are facing significant economic losses due to these frauds, we believe that a document authentication system which can accurately read the digitally stored information is needed. We possess patented technology that provides an analysis of the data contained on the encoded formats of these identification documents by reading and analyzing the encoded format on the magnetic stripe or bar code on the driver license and comparing it against known standards. 4 OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Our Products and Services are generally sold as Software as a Service (“SaaS”) where customers pay for our cloud-based service. Identity Systems Products and Services Our Identity Systems are marketed to the Commercial, Retail, Financial and Government identification sectors. Commercial Identification Intellicheck® Platform The Intellicheck Platform is a complete identity solution that checks whether an ID is valid, matches the ID to the person presenting it, and provides a risk score to help determine the risk of doing business with that person. It is designed to be used in online and retail using devices that can include a mobile phone, a PC and a retail scanner. The Intellicheck platform is designed to address the needs of users across a variety of use cases including account access, account open, receipt-less returns, receipt of delivery, age restricted purchases and more. Validating the ID Using its own technology, Intellicheck provides the ability to use an iOS or Android phone, or a retail scanner to read and verify the encoded format contained on U.S. and Canadian driver licenses, state issued non-driver identification cards, and military IDs. Our technology has the ability to verify the encoded formats on all currently encoded documents, even those that do not comply with the standards of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (“AAMVA”), the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”) and the International Standards Organization (“ISO”). Using integrated third-party technology, Intellicheck offers the ability, through IDN-Direct, to scan and verify over 10,000 documents around the world including drivers licenses, state identity documents and passports. Intellicheck can quickly determine if: ● the format of the document is valid; ● the document has been altered or is fake, by displaying the parsed, encoded data for comparison with the printed information; ● the document has expired; ● the encoded data contains a date of birth equal to or greater than the legal age to purchase age restricted products, such as alcohol, vaping, cannabis and tobacco Matching the person to the ID Intellicheck integrates third party software to provide the ability to match a selfie of a person to the picture on the driver license. These facial biometrics capabilities allow the Intellicheck platform to check for liveness to ensure that static photos are not being used as a stand-in for the user on both ends of the match, and the ability to match the ID photo to the self and provide a match score. This capability is integrated into the Intellicheck platform to allow for fast deployment and is an option for platform subscribers. Determining the risk score The Intellicheck platform offers the ability to analyze data or signals to determine the risk of doing business with the person on the identity document. Intellicheck provides access to a wide variety of data signals including device fingerprinting, IP address, phone number, time zone, geo location and more to analyze, using machine learning, the risk of doing business with that person. 5 How the Platform is Delivered The Intellicheck Platform consists of the following elements: ● IDN-Portal ○ IDN-Portal is an Intellicheck-branded identity validation application that can be set-up for a user in under an hour. It provides the ability to scan an ID using a mobile phone and the optional ability to perform a facial biometrics test to match the picture on the ID to a selfie of the user presenting the ID. IDN-Portal provides the flexibility to allow the Intellicheck customer or their customer to perform the scan and allows the Intellicheck customer to manage their application online using the PC. ● IDN-Portal+ ○ IDN-Portal+ starts with all the features in IDN-Portal plus the ability to brand the application, use a retail scanner to validate an ID, and get additional data for analytics and analysis. ● IDN-Direct ○ IDN-Direct provides the capabilities of the Intellicheck platform within the users own apps and integrated with their systems. IDN-Direct is accessible through the Intellicheck API to aid integration into customer applications and systems. IDN-Direct also provides an SDK to simplify integration into the user’s mobile applications. IDN-Direct provides access to additional data and also provides the ability to use the platform’s Risk Score capability to help with decision-making. ● Intellicheck Mobile ○ Intellicheck Mobile is the pre-build iOS and Android application for use by purchasers of IDN-Portal and IDN-Portal+. The Intellicheck Mobile app provides that ability to login and scan an ID. The app also, depending on the level of Intellicheck service purchased has access to additional data once the document has been analyzed. Advantages of the Platform ● Fast results ○ The Intellicheck platform provides results of an ID scan in under a second. Facial biometrics may add additional seconds to the process. ● Fast deployment ○ With IDN-Portal or IDN-Portal+, customers can be up and running in under an hour. ● Accurate ID validation ○ For North American documents, Intellicheck provides market-leading identity validation accuracy. Accuracy that can remove the need for manual review, and accuracy that leading businesses use to enable real time processes. For the rest of the world, Intellicheck provides best of breed document accuracy. State Aware Software Our patented State Aware Software solution provides or restricts information that is electronically scanned from an ID based on the electronic reading laws according to the state in which the ID is scanned. For example, scanning an ID in New Hampshire for law enforcement purposes is allowed, whereas electronically scanning an ID for a mailing list is not allowed. With all the various uses of scanning and verifying an ID, it is important for responsible users to be aware of the different state laws. State Aware Software incorporates each state’s requirements around electronic capture of ID barcode data directly into hosted Intellicheck Platform. Data Collection Devices Our software products are designed for use with multiple data collection devices, which are commercially available in various compact forms and may contain either one or both of 2-D bar code and magnetic stripe readers. These devices enable our software applications to be used on a variety of commercially available data processing devices, including credit card terminals, PDAs, tablets, laptops, desktops, mobile phones, and point-of-sale terminals. Many of these devices contain an electronic serial number (ESN) to prevent unauthorized use of our software. 6 Instant Credit Application Kiosk Software Applications These are custom software applications that Intellicheck developed for a variety of major financial service companies and retail stores. The software installed on multiple kiosk devices provides the customers of the major financial service companies and retail stores with the ability to perform in-store instant credit approval on these devices. The hardware platforms, on which the software applications run, range from stationary devices to handhelds to tablet PCs. The process involves the swiping or scanning of the driver license to verify the encoded format and after verification, the information parsed from the encoded data is populated into the proper fields on the application displayed on the kiosk. The applicant then completes the application by entering the remaining required information that is not encoded on the driver license, such as social security and telephone numbers. The software application then sends the data to the financial service company’s backend “decisioning” tool for credit approval. If approved, the applicant is granted instant credit which can then be used to make purchases. Upgrade Capability Our Intellicheck Platform Products and related databases are constantly updated to stay current with identification formats and new forms of ID. STRATEGY Our objective is to be a leading identity verification company providing world class solutions in the identity sector. These solutions include our commercial identity systems focusing on workflow, productivity enhancement, fraud protection and risk management segments. Key elements of our strategy are as follows: Commercial Systems Productivity Enhancement. We market our technology as a key productivity enhancement tool. Our proprietary Intellicheck Platform software can add functionality to virtually any given software application to automatically populate fields within a given form, when a government-issued photo ID is presented. Our ability to correctly read and authenticate all U.S. jurisdictions, coupled with our proprietary technology, is a key differentiator from our competitors. The automation resulting from the intelligence added to the form dramatically increases throughput and data integrity, and it significantly enhances the customer’s experience. Develop Additional Strategic Alliances with Providers of Security Solutions . We have entered strategic alliances to utilize our systems and software as the proposed or potential enrollment application for their technologies and to jointly market these security applications with multiple biometric companies. Some of these companies have included Lenel, AMAG Technology, Inc., in the defense industry; Zebra Technologies hardware manufacturers; and Idemia Identity & Security USA, facial biometrics companies Ipsidy and Applied Recognition. We are an associate member of AAMVA and a member of AAMVA’s Industry Advisory Board. We believe these relationships will broaden our marketing reach through their sales efforts and we intend to develop additional strategic alliances with additional providers of security solutions. Strengthen Sales and Marketing Efforts . We intend to capitalize on the growth in demand for document verification and productivity enhancement by continuing to market and support our systems and software. Our sales and marketing departments are organized by region and specifically named accounts to provide focus and proximity to build solid long-term relationships. Our recent focus has been on SaaS license arrangements in the financial services, retail, and hospitality services industries. Enter into Additional Licensing Agreements . We intend to continue to license our software for use with a customer’s system. We are currently licensing our SDK software product for Windows, iOS, Android and other operating system platforms and intend to similarly continue to license our PC software solutions. Our software is intended to be used with a compatible hardware device. We have entered into multiple licensing agreements to date. Protect Intellectual Property . We intend to protect our intellectual property portfolio to preserve value and obtain favorable settlements where warranted. 7 Our Revenue Sources We derive our revenue primarily from the following sources: ■ Sales of our systems by both our own direct sales force and marketing partners; ■ Per transaction or fixed price (SaaS) from the licensed use of our technology; ■ Non-Recurring services revenue, which includes training, installation customization and configuration; ■ Extended warranties on equipment ■ Other subscription and Support Services, such as jurisdictional updates to certain commercial customers and support services; and ■ Select hardware sales related to SaaS implementation, Windows CE and Windows Mobile Our Target Industry Sectors Commercial Identity Systems The use of false identification cards, primarily driver licenses and non-driver identification cards, to engage in commercial fraud, to gain access to unauthorized areas and to gain entry to critical infrastructure is all too common and the problem is growing with each passing day. Given the ease with which identification can be falsified, we believe that simply looking at a driver license is not sufficient to verify identity and determine if such an identification card is fraudulent. Since merchants and financial institutions are facing significant economic losses due to these frauds, we believe that what they need is a document authentication system that can accurately read the digitally stored information. We target the industry sectors that would most benefit from our systems and software. We also market our products to opportunities where our Intellicheck Platform technology can be used to enhance productivity. We have made significant progress in the sectors for the retail issuance of instant credit. We believe there are financial benefits and compelling business models for customers in this sector to utilize our technology.

To date, our marketing efforts have been through direct sales by our sales and marketing personnel, through resellers and license agreements. We are marketing our products through direct marketing approaches such as web marketing, a small number of select trade shows and well-known public interest and trade associations. We generate revenues from the licensing of our software and to a lesser extent the selling of bundled solutions that contain hardware and software. Depending on the specific needs of our clients, we tailor the right solution for them. Our Intellicheck Platform software is available to customers via the cloud (SaaS) and available for Microsoft Windows platforms, Android and iOS in addition to devices such as credit card terminals and other operating systems such as Linux. We are marketing our Intellicheck Platform technology to the financial institutions, mass merchandisers, government, airlines, airports, high profile buildings or infrastructure, grocery, convenience and pharmacy chains, and casinos. We have developed a comprehensive marketing plan to build customer awareness and develop brand recognition in our target industry sectors. We promote the advantages and ease of use of our products through: ■ Endorsements by nationally known public interest groups and trade associations; ■ Web seminars, as well as our own website; and ■ Trade publications; ■ Various conventions and industry specific seminars. ■ Trade shows; We intend to continue to develop and market other related software applications. MAJOR CUSTOMERS Although the composition of our largest customers has changed from year to year, a significant portion of our revenues have been attributable to a limited number of major customers. In 2021, our top ten customers accounted for approximately 79% of total revenues. In 2020, our top ten customers accounted for approximately 75% of total revenues. While we believe that one or more major customers could account for a significant portion of our sales for at least the next two years, we anticipate that our customer base will continue to expand and that in the future we will be less dependent on major customers. 9 REGULATION The sale and use of our Identity System products are subject to regulation, such as on data protection and storage, by government authorities. We work on an ongoing basis with our customers to facilitate their compliance with such regulations. Additionally, we believe that we are currently in compliance with applicable United States, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. COMPETITION Commercial Identity Systems We compete in an industry that is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Unless a device can read, decode and analyze all the information that is legally permitted to be analyzed, which is digitally stored within the barcode on a driver license, the user may not obtain accurate and reliable confirmation that a driver license is valid and has not been altered or tampered with. We are aware of several companies that are currently offering products that electronically read and calculate age from a driver license. We have tested and compared some of these products to the Intellicheck Platform and believe that our product is superior in quality and functionality. We believe that units unable to read bar codes are at a significant disadvantage because all states and Canadian provinces currently utilize bar codes to encode their driver licenses, as well as all U.S. military IDs and uniformed services cards. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased competition in the document verification sector. If any of our competitors were to become the industry standard or were to enter or expand relationships with significantly larger companies through mergers, acquisitions or otherwise, our business and operating results could be seriously harmed. In addition, potential competitors could bundle their products or incorporate functionality into existing products in a manner that discourages users from purchasing our products. MANUFACTURING We do not manufacture readers or input devices but use products from several manufacturers. Some of these devices are private labeled and programmed by the supplier to work with our Intellicheck Platform technology. Most of our hardware consists of commercial off-the-shelf (“COTS”) products. We rely on a small number of suppliers to provide our COTS products. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Our research and development (“R&D”) efforts are mainly concentrated in two areas. The most significant effort is concentrated in the identity sector. We modify existing software applications based on customer’s requirements, which are fee based. In addition, we develop new software solutions and make improvements to existing software platforms, which are funded internally. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We currently hold eighteen (18) U.S. patents and one (1) Canadian patent. At present, we have two patent applications pending in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These patents cover commercially important aspects of our capabilities relating to the authentication and verification of identification documents. We will continue to pursue patents for all our new technologies arising from our research and development efforts. In January 1999, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted us a patent on our ID Check® software technology. In October 2002, April 2004, July 2005 and January 2009, we were granted additional patents that are a continuation of our patents relating to our document authentication and age verification technology. Upon our acquisition of the assets of IDentiScan, we also received equitable ownership and sole ownership rights to its intellectual property, including other patents and patent applications relating to age verification technology. 10 During 2010, we were granted two additional patents. The first patent was for a software key control for mobile devices. It is used to get a registration key for the parser that is based on the unique internal ID of one mobile device. The Mobile Key Manager communicates with the mobile device, reading its ID, and then requests a registration key specific for that ID from Intellicheck Mobilisa’s server. This server maintains a database of all customers using IDecode Mobile Parsers, including the number of licenses they have purchased, the latest software version for which they have paid support, and the registration keys and unique device IDs associated with those licenses. The server generates a new registration key unique to the device ID and returns it to the Mobile Key Manager to register that device. In this way, the customer can deploy the IDecode Mobile Parser to only one mobile device for each parser purchased. The second patent was related to a document comparison system and reinforces the innovative nature of Intellicheck’s security solutions involving documents. The technology described in the patent relates to a system and method for comparing information contained in at least two documents. For example, information on at least two different documents can be compared to determine whether the information is the same on each document. For instance, a name contained on an individual’s driver’s license is automatically compared with a name contained on the individual’s airline boarding pass. In 2011, we were issued another patent. This patent allows for verifying and authenticating the encoded information on driver licenses of all 50 states and other North American driver licenses and allows the information to be electronically transferred in a secure environment to a local or remote jurisdiction for age verification, organ donor, or criminal activity checks critical in fighting both crime and terrorism. In 2012, we were granted a patent relating to a system and method for comparing information contained in at least two documents, but not limited to just a driver license and passport. This patent compares “like information” on different documents to determine whether the information is the same on each document. As an example, a passport is compared to a boarding pass to determine if “like information” matches, for instance name and birthdate. We were also granted a patent related to a system that uses environmental information to determine a level of scrutiny that is to be applied to identification information received at a location where user identification is being checked. Depending on the level of scrutiny that is applied and on generated candidate scores, the system will display many potential persons of interest that match the received identification information. In 2013, we were granted four patents that are continuations of previously filed applications we previously filed. One patent is related to a document comparison system that compares information contained in two documents to determine whether the information is substantially identical on each document. An indication is provided as to whether the two documents identify the same entity or do not identify the same entity. The second patent relates to improvements to software key control for mobile devices. The third patent relates to an apparatus for extracting date of birth information from driver’s licenses and displaying a calculated age along with a license background graphic. Finally, the fourth patent is related to a system that uses environmental information to determine a level of scrutiny that is to be applied to identification information received at a location and to display many potential persons of interest that match the received identification information based on the applied level of scrutiny. In 2014, we were granted one patent that was also a continuation of an earlier-filed application. The patent is related to a document comparison system that compares information contained in two documents to determine whether certain information is substantially identical on each document. The system provides a positive or negative indication as to whether portions of the two documents are substantially identical. In 2015, we acquired an intellectual property portfolio that includes four patents involving technologies for checking the validity of identification documents using a remote database. Certain patents in this portfolio address the use of biometric information and identification credentials as part of the process to control access to a secured area. In 2015 we were granted two patents. The first patent is related to a system and method for comparing documents. The second patent is identity matching in response to threat levels. 11 In 2016, we were granted three patents that were a continuation of earlier filed applications. The first patent related to comparing documents. The second patent related to identity in response to threat levels. Finally, the third patent is related to checking the validity of identification documents using a remote database. We were also granted two patents in 2016 in Canada. The first patent is related to a system and method for comparing documents. The second patent is related to identity matching in response to threat levels. We were granted one patent in 2017 that was also a continuation of an earlier filed application. The patent is related to checking the validity of identification documents using a remote database. In 2018, we were granted one patent that was also a continuation of an earlier filed application to a document comparison that compares information contained in multiple documents. We were granted two patents in 2019 that were a continuation of earlier filed applications. The first patent is related to checking the validity of identification documents using a remote database. The second patent related to identification scanning in compliance with jurisdictional or other rules. In 2020, we were granted two patents that were a continuation of earlier filed applications. The first patent is related to checking the validity of identification documents using a remote database. The second patent is related to document comparison that compares information contained in multiple documents. In 2022, we were granted one patent that was a continuation of earlier filed applications. This patent is related to using a mobile device to perform verification of a selfie to a photo on an identification document. We own multiple copyrights in the United States, which are effective in Canada and in other major industrial countries. The copyright protection covers software source codes and supporting graphics relating to the operation of the Intellicheck Platform and other software products. We also have several trademarks relating to our company, its product names, and logos. Employees AND HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 24, 2022, we had 49 full-time employees. Five are engaged in executive management such as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, twenty-two in information technology including those participating in our research and development efforts, thirteen in sales and marketing, three in integration and customer support and six in administration. All employees are employed “at will.” We believe our relations with our employees are generally positive and we have no collective bargaining agreements with any labor unions. Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating our existing and new employees. The principal purposes of our equity compensation and cash incentive plans are to attract, retain and reward personnel, whether existing employees or new hires, through the granting of equity and cash-based compensation awards. We believe that this increases value to our stockholders and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives. As the success of our business is fundamentally connected to the well-being of our employees, we are committed to their health, safety and wellness. We provide our employees and their families with access to convenient health and wellness programs, including benefits that provide protection and security giving them peace of mind concerning events that may require time away from work or that impact their financial well-being; and that offer choice where possible so they can customize their benefits to meet their needs and the needs of their families. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented and have continued significant changes that we determined were in the best interest of our employees, as well as the community in which we operate, and which comply with government regulations, including working in a remote environment where appropriate or required. 12 Item 1A. Risk Factors RISK FACTORS Risks Related to Our Business and Industry (All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except per share data) We have had losses since inception and losses may continue, which could result in a decline in the value of our securities and a loss of your investment. We incurred net losses of ($7,478) and $(2,484) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $126,897 as of December 31, 2021. Since we expect to incur additional expenditures in line with the sales growth of our business, we may not continue to achieve operating profits in the near future, and we could experience further losses. This could lead to a decline in the value of our securities. Our proprietary software relies on reference data provided by government and quasi-government agencies. If these governmental and quasi-government agencies were to stop sharing data with us, the utility of our proprietary software would be diminished in those jurisdictions and our business would be damaged. Currently, the fifty states, ten Canadian provinces and the District of Columbia, in most instances, conform to the guidelines established by certain organizations responsible for implementing industry standards, cooperate with us by providing sample identification cards so that we may modify all our hardware and software products to read and analyze the encoded information found on such jurisdiction’s identification cards. If one or more of these jurisdictions do not continue to provide this reference data, the utility of our proprietary software may be diminished in those jurisdictions. Our business strategy exposes us to long sales and implementation cycles for our products. Our target customers in the commercial fraud protection, access control and age verification industry sectors include large retailers and to a lesser extent, government agencies, which typically require longer sales and implementation cycles for our products than do our potential customer base solely interested in age verification, such as restaurant, bar and convenience store operators. The longer sales and implementation cycles for larger retail companies continue to have an adverse impact on the timing of realizing our revenues. In addition, budgetary constraints and potential economic slowdowns or inflationary pressures may also continue to delay purchasing decisions by these prospective customers. These initiatives have costs associated with them, and we cannot assure you that they ultimately will prove successful, or result in, an increase to our revenues or profitability. We could be negatively impacted by the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In December 2019, it was first reported that there had been an outbreak of a novel strain of COVID-19, in China. Since then, COVID-19 has continued to spread outside of China, including throughout the United States and other parts of the world, becoming a global pandemic. Since then, the pandemic has seen waves of increases and decreases of infections due to the emergence of variants to the original COVID-19 strain such as the Delta variant and Omicron variant. For the period covered by this Form 10-K, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business and will likely continue to impact our business directly and/or indirectly for the foreseeable future. While we are hopeful that widespread vaccinations from COVID-19, together with increases in immunity within the population, will usher in a new sense of normalcy, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our results of operations or financial condition due to numerous factors that are not within our control, including the duration and severity of the outbreak together with any additional statewide closures resulting from increases in cases nationwide, whether from COVID-19 or recently discovered or newly emerged variants. 13 Governments in affected regions have implemented and may continue to implement safety precautions, including stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings, and other measures. Other organizations and individuals are taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infection, including limiting travel and having employees work remotely. These measures have disrupted normal business operations both in and outside of affected areas. While many of the original restrictions levied by governments in 2020 have been removed, additional variants, such as the recently reported BA.2 variant, could emerge causing significant increases in cases which could cause governments to reinstitute some or all of the previously implemented restrictive measures in order to curtail the increase in the number of reported cases. This happened with the emergence of the Omicron variant at the end of 2021, and many of such restrictions are now being lifted given the decrease in cases across the country. We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made appropriate modifications to our operations because of COVID-19, including transitioning to a remote work environment, substantial reductions in employee travel, virtualization or cancellation of customer and employee events, and remote sales, implementation, and support activities, among other modifications. These decisions may delay or reduce sales and harm productivity and collaboration. The cancellation of industry events nationwide reduces our ability to meet with existing and potential new customers. Our customers’ businesses could be disrupted or they could seek to limit technology spending, either of which could foreclose future business opportunities, could negatively impact the willingness of our customers to enter into or renew contracts with us, and ultimately adversely affect our revenues. Although we are unable to predict the precise impact of COVID-19 on our business, our business depends to a large extent on the willingness of customers to enter into or renew contracts with us. In addition, while the long-term economic impact and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, which could reduce our ability to access capital and could negatively affect our liquidity and the liquidity and stability of markets for our common stock. The industry for our systems and software is evolving and its growth is uncertain. Demand as well as industry acceptance for recently introduced and existing systems, and software and sales from such systems and software, are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. With changing administration in government, changes in government budgets, and slowly evolving government standards on use of identity products, the government sector is slowly developing. The commercial sector can develop faster than the government sector, but it is also subject to a higher level of uncertainty because of potential uncertainty in the continued financial health of our commercial customers, as well as long sales cycles. Our business may suffer if the industry develops more slowly than anticipated and does not sustain industry acceptance. Failure to manage our operations if they expand could impair our future growth. If we can expand our operations, particularly through multiple sales to large retailers and government agencies in the document verification industry, the expansion will place significant strain on our management, financial controls, operating systems, personnel and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth, should it occur, will depend upon several factors, including our ability to do the following: ■ build and train our sales force; ■ establish and maintain relationships with distributors; ■ develop customer support systems; ■ develop expanded internal management and financial controls adequate to keep pace with growth in personnel and sales, if they occur; and ■ manage the use of third-party manufacturers and suppliers. If we can grow our business but do not manage our growth successfully, we may experience increased operating expenses, loss of customers, distributors, or suppliers and declining or slowed growth of revenues. 14 Failure to protect our proprietary technology may impair our competitive position. We continue to allocate significant resources to developing new and innovative technologies that are utilized in our products and systems. Because our continued success depends on, to a significant degree, our ability to offer products providing superior functionality and performance over those offered by our competitors, we consider the protection of our technology from unauthorized use to be fundamental to our success. This is done by processes aimed at identifying and seeking appropriate protection for newly developed intellectual property, including patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks, as well as policies aimed at identifying unauthorized use of such property. These processes include: ■ contractual arrangements providing for nondisclosure of proprietary information; ■ maintaining and enforcing issued patents and filing patent applications on innovative solutions to commercially important problems; ■ protecting trade secrets; ■ protecting copyrights and trademarks by registration and other appropriate means; ■ establishing internal processes for identifying and appropriately protecting new and innovative technologies; and ■ establishing practices for identifying unauthorized use of intellectual property. Litigation can be very costly and divert management’s attention. An adverse outcome in any litigation may have a severe negative effect on our financial results. To determine the priority of inventions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or oppositions in foreign patent and trademark offices, which could result in substantial cost and limitations on the scope or validity of our patents or trademarks. Additionally, third parties, including our competitors or licensees, may seek to have our patents reviewed by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office in a post grant proceeding, such as post grant review or an inter parties review. Such proceedings, if instituted could cancel our patents or narrow the scope of our patent claims. We cannot predict the effect that such proceedings, if instituted, may have on our business or revenue received from licensing our patents. In addition, foreign laws treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from laws in the United States. The failure of foreign laws or judicial systems to adequately protect our proprietary rights or intellectual property, including intellectual property developed on our behalf by foreign contractors or subcontractors, may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and financial results. If our future products incorporate technologies that infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, and we do not secure licenses from them, we could be liable for substantial damages. We are not aware that our current products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties. We also are not aware of any third-party intellectual property rights that may hamper our ability to provide future products and services. However, we recognize that the development of our services or products may require that we acquire intellectual property licenses from third parties to avoid infringement of those parties’ intellectual property rights. These licenses may not be available at all or may only be available on terms that are not commercially reasonable. If third parties make infringement claims against us, even if they are not upheld, such claims could: ■ consume substantial time and financial resources; ■ divert the attention of management from growing our business and managing operations; and ■ disrupt product sales and shipments. If any third party prevails in an action against us for infringement of its proprietary rights, we could be required to pay damages and either enter costly licensing arrangements or redesign our products so as to exclude any infringing use. As a result, we would incur substantial costs, delays in product development, sales and shipments, and our revenues may decline substantially. Additionally, we may not be able to achieve the minimum necessary growth for our continued success. 15 Failure to attract and retain management and other personnel may damage our operations and financial results and cause our stock price to decline. We depend, to a significant degree, on the skills, experience and efforts of our executive officers and other key management, technical, finance, sales and other personnel. Our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain existing or additional personnel could disrupt or otherwise harm our operations and financial results. We do not carry key man life insurance policies covering any employees. The loss of services of certain of our key employees, an inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, or delays in hiring additional personnel could delay the development of our business and could cause our stock price to decline. We incur significant accounting and other control costs that impact our financial condition. As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Some of our competitors are privately owned, so their accounting and control costs could create a competitive advantage over us. Should our sales decline or if we are unsuccessful at increasing prices to cover higher expenditures for internal controls and audits, our costs associated with regulatory compliance will rise as a percentage of sales. Long lead times for the components used in certain products creates uncertainty in our supply chain and may prevent us from making required deliveries to our customers on time. We rely exclusively on commercial off-the-shelf technology in manufacturing our products. The lead-time for ordering certain components used in our products and the production of products can be lengthy. As a result, we must, from time to time, order products based on forecasted demand. If demand for products lags significantly behind forecasts, we may purchase more product than we can sell. Conversely, if demand exceeds forecasts, we may not have enough products to meet our obligations to our customers. We obtain certain hardware and services, as well as some software applications, from a limited group of suppliers, and our reliance on these suppliers involves significant risks, including reduced control over quality and delivery schedules. Any financial instability of our suppliers could result in having to find new suppliers. We may experience significant delays in manufacturing and deliveries of products and services to customers if we lose our sources or if supplies and services delivered from these sources are delayed. As a result, we may be required to incur additional development, manufacturing, and other costs to establish alternative supply sources. It may take several months to locate alternative suppliers, if required. We cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain replacement hardware within the required time frames at affordable costs, or at all. Any delays resulting from suppliers failing to deliver hardware or delays in obtaining alternative hardware, in sufficient quantities and of sufficient quality, or any significant increase in the cost of hardware from existing or alternative suppliers could result in delays on the shipment of product which, in turn, could result in the loss of customers we may not be able to successfully complete. Security breaches and other disruptions could potentially compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would be harmful to our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, and personally identifiable information of our customers, their customers our employees, in our data centers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance, and transmission, when applicable, of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost, or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, potential liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties. This in turn could disrupt our operations and the services we provide to customers, damage our reputation, and potentially cause a loss of confidence in our products and service offerings, which could adversely affect our business and competitive position. 16 We are subject to risks associated with product failure and technological flaws. Our products are complex and may contain undetected errors or result in failures when first introduced or when new versions are released. Despite vigorous product testing efforts and testing by current and potential customers, it is possible that errors will be found in a new product or enhancement after commercial shipments have commenced. The occurrence of product defects or errors could result in negative publicity, delays in product introduction and the diversion of resources to remedy defects and loss of or delay in industry acceptance or claims by customers against us and could cause us to incur additional costs, any one of which could adversely affect our business. Because of the risk of undetected error, we may be compelled to accept liability provisions that vary from our preferred contracting model in certain critical transactions. There is a risk that in certain contracts and circumstances we may not be successful in adequately minimizing product and related liabilities or that the protections negotiated will not ultimately be deemed enforceable. We carry product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate to cover potential claims. The failure of our products to perform as promised could result in increased costs, lower margins, liquidated damage payment obligations and harm to our reputation. We may not be able to keep up with rapid technological change. The sectors for all our products are characterized by rapid technological advancements. Significant technological change could render existing technology obsolete. If we are unable to successfully respond to these developments, or do not respond in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Our percentage of revenues and customer concentration is significant. Revenues from our ten largest customers accounted for 79% of total revenues in 2021 and 75% of total revenues in 2020. Two customers accounted for 55% of revenues in 2021 and two customers accounted for 41% of revenues in 2020. Our loss of one or more significant customers could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Risks Related to Our Common Stock and the Market for Our Common Stock Our share price may be volatile and could decline substantially. The market price of our common stock, like the price of shares of technology companies generally, has been and may continue to be volatile. From January 1, 2002 to March 24, 2022, the intra-day trading price of our common stock has varied from a high of $145.52 to a low of $0.75 per share, as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to decline, including: ■ shortfalls in revenues, cash flows or continued losses from operations; ■ delays in development or roll-out of any of our products; ■ overall decrease of US stock prices as a result of rising inflation and its effects on the economy; ■ economic and social effects of the COVID-19 virus or other pandemics; ■ short selling or other market manipulation activities; ■ announcements by one or more competitors of new product acquisitions or technological innovations; and ■ unfavorable outcomes from outstanding litigation. In addition, the stock market experiences extreme fluctuations in price and volume, which was heightened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that particularly affect the market price of shares of technology companies, such as ours. These price and volume fluctuations are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies. Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts and our stock price could decline as a result. Furthermore, the trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected by third-parties trying to drive down the market price. Short sellers and others, some of whom post anonymously on social media, may be positioned to profit if our stock declines and their activities can negatively affect our stock price. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Declines in our stock price for any reason, as well as broad-based market fluctuations or fluctuations related to our financial results or other developments outside of our control such as market reactions to increasing inflation described above or to ongoing hostilities between Russia and the Ukraine, may adversely affect your ability to sell your shares at a price equal to or above the price at which you purchased them. Decreases in the price of our common stock may also lead to de-listing of our common stock. 17 Future capital requirements may require incurring debt or dilution of existing stockholders. Acquisition and development opportunities and other contingencies may arise, which could require us to raise additional capital or incur debt. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, including preferred stock, or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our then existing stockholders will be diluted. Because we do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our stock only if it appreciates in value. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on factors the Board of Directors deems relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of our credit facilities and other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our stock. There is no guarantee that our stock will appreciate. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable. Item 2. Properties Our corporate headquarters is currently located in Melville, New York, where we occupy approximately 700 square feet of office space pursuant to a month-to-month lease. While all personnel currently operate out of their individual home offices throughout the country, this facility will be primarily used for employee use and for necessary physical meetings. We believe that our existing facility is adequate to meet current requirements and that additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate any expansion of operations. Item 3. Legal Proceedings We are not currently involved in any legal or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures None 18 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities (a) Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “ IDN .” (b) As of March 24, 2022, there were 30 shareholders of record of our common stock. (c) No cash dividends or other cash distributions made by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of Directors based on our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other then existing conditions. It is anticipated that cash dividends will not be paid to the holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. (d) Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans The following table provides information as of December 31, 2021, with respect to the shares of our common stock that may be issued under our existing equity compensation plans.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except per share data) Overview We are a prominent technology company that is engaged in developing, integrating and marketing identity authentication and threat identification solutions to address challenges that include bank and retail fraud prevention, law enforcement threat identification, and mobile and handheld access control and security for the government, military and commercial markets. 19 Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include impairment consideration and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition (including breakage revenue), and the fair value of stock options granted under our equity compensation plans. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates. We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. These significant accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, equity compensation, deferred taxes, goodwill and intangible asset valuation and impairment, and commitments and contingencies. These policies and our procedures related to these policies are summarized below and described in further detail in the Notes to Financial Statements. Valuation of long-lived assets Our long-lived assets include property and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets. As of December 31, 2021, the balances of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, all net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairments, were $737, $8,102 and $378, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the balances of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, all net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairments, were $139, $8,102 and $483, respectively. Reference Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies”; Note 3, “Property and Equipment”; and Note 4, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” in the Notes to Financial Statements for details on the company’s valuations of our long-lived assets. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue Most license fees and service revenues are generated from a combination of fixed-price and per-scan contracts. Under the per-scan revenue model, customers are charged a fee each time the customer scans an identity document, such as a driver’s license, with our software. Under the fixed-price revenue model customers are charged a fixed monthly fee either per device or physical business location to access our software. In certain instances, customization services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in a customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in an arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of our services as they are performed. Substantially all customer contracts provide that we are compensated for services performed to date. Reference Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for details on the company’s recognized and deferred revenue. Equity Compensation We account for the issuance of equity awards to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that the cost resulting from all equity payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This pronouncement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for equity payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for all equity payment transactions with employees. Reference Note 8, “Stockholders’ Equity,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for details on the company’s equity compensation plans. 20 Deferred Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using expected tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We have recorded a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets. Reference Note 7, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for details on the Company’s deferred income taxes. Commitments and Contingencies We are not currently involved in any legal or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Reference Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for details on the Company’s commitments and contingencies. The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Results of Operations COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 REVENUES . Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $5,658, or 53% to $16,393 compared to $10,735 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in 2021 revenues is primarily the result of higher commercial Software as a Service (“SaaS”) revenues and higher hardware sales. SaaS revenues, which consists of software licensed on a subscription basis, increased $3,597 or 38% to $12,970 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $9,373 for the year ended December 31, 2020. GROSS PROFIT . Gross profit increased by $3,573, or 38%, to $12,882 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $9,309 in the year ended December 31, 2020. Our gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was 78.6% and 86.7% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily due to higher 2021 hardware sales which contain lower margins, partially offset by the continued growth of our SaaS revenue. Excluding hardware sales and related costs, our gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 93.2% and 92.1% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in this percentage is primarily due to continued growth of our SaaS revenue. OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses, which consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, increased by $7,764, or 62% to $20,375 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $12,611 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5,959, or 67%, to $14,895 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $8,936 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Included within the Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are $3,331 and $3,042, respectively, of equity compensation expense resulting from the liability award stock option compensation adjustment described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Financial Statements. Research and development expenses increased $1,805, or 49%, to $5,480 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $3,675 for the year ended December 31, 2020. These increases are primarily due to higher equity compensation expenses, higher personnel costs and higher marketing expenses. The company is always looking for synergistic opportunities including merger and acquisition opportunities. Included within operating expenses are $454 of costs incurred related to this activity. GAIN ON FORGIVENESS ON UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTE . The gain on the forgiveness on an unsecured promissory note was $796 for the year ended December 31, 2020. This was the result of the forgiveness on a note under the Paycheck Protection Program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME . Interest and other income were $6 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $22 during the year ended December 31, 2020. INCOME TAXES . We had taxable net losses through the years ended December 31, 2021 and therefore have paid nominal income taxes. NET INCOME (LOSS) . As a result of the factors noted above, we had net losses of $(7,478), or $(0.40) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to a net loss of $(2,484), or $(0.14) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. 21 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2021, we had cash of $13,651, working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $10,360, total assets of $25,711 and stockholders’ equity of $19,577. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our cash increased by $530. Cash provided by operating activities was $1,116 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $19 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $662 compared to $416 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash provided by financing activities was $76 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $10,205 for the year ended December 31, 2020. On June 23, 2020, we completed a public offering of 1,769,230 shares of our common stock, offered to the public at $6.50 per share. Our net proceeds from this offering were approximately $10,710 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us. Direct offering costs totaling approximately $141 were recorded as a reduction to the net proceeds and included in additional paid-in-capital on the statement of stockholders’ equity. On February 6, 2019, we entered a revolving credit facility with Citibank that allows for borrowings up to the lesser of (i) $2,000 or (ii) the collateralized balance in our existing fixed income investment account with Citibank. The facility bears interest at a rate consistent of Citibank’s Base Rate (4.75% at December 31, 2021) minus 2% subject to certain limitations. Interest is payable monthly and as of December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility and unused availability under this facility was $2,000. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and including how it may impact our customers, employees and vendors. We did incur disruptions during the year ended December 31, 2021 from COVID-19 and we are unable to predict the impact that this pandemic will have on us going forward, including our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, the impact on our customers and the related demand for our services due to numerous uncertainties. On April 9, 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $796 (the “Note”) with First Bank (the “Loan Servicer”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration and established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). We received these proceeds on April 14, 2020 plus an additional $10 advance under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program (“EIDL”) on April 15, 2020. Under the terms of the Note, we could apply for forgiveness on this Note with the Loan Servicer if certain conditions including the use of the Note proceeds were met over a 24-week period commencing from the date of the Note. The Note had an interest rate of 1%. We did not impute interest on the Note as the rate was determined to be a below-market rate due to the scope exception in ASC 835-30-15-3(e) for government-mandated interest rates. In November 2020, we received notification from the Loan Servicer that the Note was fully forgiven and recorded income from the extinguishment of our obligation as we were legally released from being the primary obligor in accordance with ASC 405-20-40-1. On December 27, 2020, Congress passed the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act (“the Economic Aid Act”) which relieves companies of its obligation to repay its EIDL advance. Prior to the passing of the Economic Aid Act, we repaid the $10 advance in December 2020. As a result of this ruling, the SBA returned this advance, plus interest, to the Loan Servicer in February 2021, which was immediately returned to us and included in Other Income on the Statement of Operations. 22 We currently anticipate that our available cash, expected cash from operations and availability under the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing. We keep the option open to raise additional funds to respond to business contingencies which may include the need to fund more rapid expansion, fund additional marketing expenditures, develop new markets for our technology, enhance our operating infrastructure, respond to competitive pressures, or acquire complementary businesses or necessary technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the additional funds when needed or obtain such on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. We have filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which became effective June 4, 2010. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell, from time to time in the future in one or more public offerings, our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and units. The specific terms of any future offering, including the prices and use of proceeds, will be determined at the time of any such offering and will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement which will be filed with the SEC at the time of the offering. The shelf registration statement is designed to give us the flexibility to access additional capital at some point in the future when market conditions are appropriate. We are not currently involved in any legal or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Adjusted EBITDA We use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for certain reductions such as gains on debt forgiveness and interest and other income and certain addbacks such as income taxes, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial results with other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as gains on debt forgiveness, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, amortization, depreciation and equity compensation, as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate our operations and can compare the results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of our operational strength and performance of our business and a useful measure of our historical operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes gains on debt forgiveness, interest and other income, impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, equity compensation expense, all of which impact our profitability, as well as depreciation and amortization related to the use of long-term assets which benefit multiple periods. We believe that these limitations are compensated by providing Adjusted EBITDA only with GAAP net income (loss) and clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by us may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities. 23 The reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Net loss $ (7,478 ) $ (2,484 ) Reconciling items: Gain on forgiveness of unsecured promissory note (10 ) (796 ) Interest and other income (5 ) (22 ) Depreciation and amortization 169 180 Equity compensation including liability classified awards 6,400 3,451 Adjusted EBITDA $ (924 ) $ 329 Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards Our available net operating loss (“NOL”) at December 31, 2021 was approximately $18.0 million. The federal and state NOLs are available to offset future taxable income and began to expire in 2021. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Except as discussed below, we do not expect the impact of the future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on our financial statements. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments to measure credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate can now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. The guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of certain amendments of this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have never entered any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered any options on non-financial assets. Forward Looking Statements This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues, loss from operations and cash flow. Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise. 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Financial instruments, which subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash. We maintain cash in two financial institutions. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Our financial statements and supplementary data are attached hereto beginning on Page F-1. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports required to be filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 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) for the Company. Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (the end of our fiscal year), based on the framework and criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. At the time of our Original Filing, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, initially concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result of the restatement of the Company’s financial statements and the filing of this Form 10-K/A, our management has reconsidered its assessment and now concludes that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below that existed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to its accounting for equity compensation. Specifically, the Company did not maintain a compliment of accounting personnel with sufficient knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP as it relates to accounting and reporting for equity compensation. This material weakness contributed to a failure to maintain effective controls over the accounting and reporting for stock options. Remediation Plan Historically, the Company managed the administration and recordkeeping of the Company’s equity compensation in-house. Managing this complex process was unduly burdensome and directly contributed to the material weakness. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the Company will no longer maintain the administration and recordkeeping of its equity compensation plans internally but instead will outsource this function to a third-party brokerage firm specializing in these tasks. This specialization will improve the accuracy of reporting and the Company’s legal and regulatory compliance around equity compensation. The Company has also engaged a professional services firm to assist with the implementation of a global broker-dealer firm specializing in equity compensation platforms, as well as provide recommendations on best practices, processes, and internal controls going forward. Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s quarters ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Intellicheck (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Correction of a Misstatement As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the 2021 and 2020 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgment. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. F- 2 Goodwill Impairment Analysis As of December 31, 2021, the Company had goodwill of approximately $8.1 million. As described in Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements, the Company performs its impairment test of goodwill annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company exceeds its fair value. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company operates as one reporting segment, operating segment and reporting unit. The Company’s goodwill impairment test involves comparing the Company’s carrying value to its estimated fair value. The fair value was determined using the weighting of certain valuation techniques, including both income and market approaches, which include a discounted cash flow analysis, similar public company financial comparisons, along with market capitalization. The Company’s fair value estimates require management to make significant estimates and assumptions including discount rates, projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and guideline public company multiples. We identified the impairment test of goodwill as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgement by management in the estimates and assumptions used in developing the fair value estimate of the Company. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rates, projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and guideline public company multiples. Additionally, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of controls over the Company’s impairment test of goodwill, including developing the estimate of fair value. Our procedures included, among others: evaluated the forecasted revenue growth rates and operating margins to the Company’s underlying business strategies and growth plans and considered if they were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit; evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenue growth rates and operating margins by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts; and performed sensitivity analyses over significant estimates and assumptions including discount rates and projected revenue growth rates when assessing the overall impact on the estimate of fair value compared to the carrying value. In addition, we utilized our valuation specialists with specialized skills and knowledge, in evaluating the reasonableness of the Company’s methodology for estimating fair value including both the income and market approaches; evaluating the discount rates used by management by comparing it to a range of discount rates developed using existing market information for comparable entities; evaluating market approaches including selected guideline company multiples for reasonableness and evaluating the mathematical accuracy of the calculations included in both the income and market approaches. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010. /s/ EisnerAmper LLP EISNERAMPER LLP Iselin, New Jersey March 24, 2022, except for the effects of the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, as to which the date is June 9, 2022 F- 3 INTELLICHECK, INC.

F- 7 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS Business Intellicheck, Inc. (the “Company” or “Intellicheck”) is a prominent technology company that is engaged in developing, integrating and marketing identity verification solutions to address challenges that include commercial retail and banking fraud prevention. Intellicheck’s products include solutions for preventing identity fraud across any industry delivered via smartphone, tablet, POS integration or other electronic devices. Intellicheck continues to develop and release innovative products based upon its rich patent portfolio consisting of eighteen (18) U.S. and one Canadian patents, as well as two patents pending. Liquidity For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $ ( 7,478 ) and had cash provided by operating activities of $ 1,116 . As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $ 13,651 , working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $ 10,360 and an accumulated deficit of $ 126,897 . Based on the Company’s business plan and cash resources, Intellicheck expects its existing and future resources and revenues generated from operations to satisfy its working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing. As of the filing of this Form 10-K, the COVID-19 pandemic, which first began affecting the Company in the first quarter of 2020, has impacted the Company’s business by a temporary decline in revenues from its customers. Though the Company has had an increase in SaaS revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our business directly and/or indirectly for the foreseeable future. The Company is further unable to accurately predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its results of operations or financial condition due to numerous factors that are not within its control, including the duration and severity of the outbreak together with any potential statewide closures if cases increase, the spread of COVID-19 variants, including the Delta and Omicron variants, and the widespread adoption of vaccination measures including booster regimens. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements On May 16, 2022, management in concurrence with the Company’s Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that that the financial statements previously issued as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in accounting for certain option awards. Accordingly, we are restating our Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, Statements of Cash Flows and the related notes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Specifically, the Company determined that a cashless withholding to satisfy personal income tax obligations from certain option awards exercised commencing in the third quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, caused the underlying options to no longer qualify as equity awards and should have instead been classified as liability awards commencing on the date of exercise. The change in the classification of the awards to liability classified awards requires the Company to remeasure the fair value of the awards at the end of each reporting period they remain outstanding, with the increase or decrease in fair value correspondingly charged or credited to selling, general and administrative expenses in arriving at net income. Furthermore, the Company, due to an administrative error, failed to sell the shares surrendered in 2021 and did not remit the equivalent amount of funds to the tax authorities. To date, the Company has not returned the shares or otherwise reimbursed the effected individuals for the shares withheld. The Company is currently in the process of arranging payment to individuals, which is expected to be completed during the quarter ending June 30, 2022. F- 8 INTELLICHECK, INC.

Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements include impairment consideration and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition (including breakage revenue) and the fair value of stock options granted under the Company’s Equity compensation plan. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from those estimates. As discussed above, certain option awards no longer qualify as equity awards and instead are being classified as liability awards. ASC 718 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for equity payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for all equity payment transactions with employees. The Company determined the fair value of these awards utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model. F- 11 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: ● Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. ● Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. The Company had $ 378 worth of Level 2 liabilities as of December 31, 2021 for liability classified stock options. ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when the fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. Long-Lived Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company’s long-lived assets include property and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets. F- 12 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 (“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”) and ASC 360 (“Property, Plant and Equipment”) to determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment is measured at fair value. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten-years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or estimated useful life of the asset. See Note 3. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or between annual tests, in certain circumstances. Under authoritative guidance, the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other entity specific events and sustained decrease in share price. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined no impairment charge was required. See Note 4. Intangible Assets Intangible assets include patents, copyrights, and developed technology. The Company amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as it represents the pattern of economic benefits consumed. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. There were no impairment charges recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. See Note 4. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue General Most license fees and services revenue are generated from a combination of fixed-price and per-scan contracts. Under the per-scan revenue model, customers are charged a fee each time the customer scans an identity document, such as a driver’s license, with the Company’s software. Under the fixed-price revenue model customers are charged a fixed monthly fee either per device or physical business location to access the Company’s software. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company measures revenue based on the consideration specified in a customer arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in an arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Customers typically receive the benefit of the Company’s services as they are performed. Substantially all customer contracts provide that the Company is compensated for services performed to date. F- 13 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) During 2021, the Company adopted an additional revenue model where customers purchase a predetermined number of transactions for the term of the contract. Revenue for these transactions are recognized on a per transaction basis. The Company estimates the amount of unused transactions at the end of each contract period and recognizes a portion of that revenue as breakage revenue each reporting period. If the Company expects the customer to use all transactions in the specified service period, the Company will recognize the transaction price as revenue in the specified service period as the promised units of service are transferred to the customer. Alternatively, if the Company expects that the customer cannot or will not use all transactions in the specified service period (referred to as “breakage”), the Company will recognize the estimated breakage amount as revenue ratably over the service period in proportion to the revenue that the Company will recognize for actual transactions used by the customer in the service period. Invoicing is based on schedules established in customer contracts. Payment terms are generally established from 30 to 60 days from the invoice date. Product returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Nature of goods and services The following is a description of the products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each: Software as a Service (SaaS) Software as a service (SaaS) for hosted subscription services and licensed software allows customers to access a set of data for a predetermined period of time. As the customer obtains access at a point in time but continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Accordingly, the revenue should be recognized over time, under the fixed pricing model, based on the usage of the hosted subscription services and licensed software, which can vary from month to month. Under the per-scan revenue model, revenue is recognized each time the customer scans an identity document. Other Subscription and Support Services The Company also recognizes revenues from other subscription and support services, which includes jurisdictional updates to certain commercial customers and support services particularly to its Defense ID® customers. These subscriptions require continuing service or post contractual customer support and performance. As the customer obtains access at a point in time but continues to have access for the remainder of the subscription period, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs. Accordingly, the revenue should be recognized over time based on usage, which can vary from month to month. The revenue is typically based on a formula such as number of locations in a given month multiplied by a fee per location. Equipment Revenue Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized at a point in time. The point in time that the revenue is recognized is when the customer has control of the equipment which is when the customer receives the benefit and the Company’s performance obligation has been satisfied. Depending on the contract terms, that could either be at the time the equipment is shipped or at the time the equipment is received. Non-Recurring Services Revenue The non-recurring services include items such as training, installation, customization, and configuration. The Company recognizes revenue from non-recurring services contracts ratably over the service contract period as the customer consumes the benefit as it is provided and the Company’s performance obligation has been satisfied. F- 14 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) Extended Warranty Extended warranty revenues are generated when a warranty is provided to the customer separately of other performance obligations when the equipment is sold. As the customer obtains access at a point in time and continues to have access for the remainder of the warranty term, the customer is considered to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. The related revenue is recognized ratably over the specified term of the warranty period. The extended warranty is separate to the Company’s standard warranty of usually one year that it receives from its vendor. Disaggregation of revenue In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by product and service and the timing of revenue recognition. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue. SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE 2021 2020 For the Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Products and services Software as a Service (SaaS) $ 12,970 $ 9,373 Other subscription and support services 35 199 Equipment 3,056 1,045 Non-recurring services 114 78 Extended warranties on equipment 8 21 Other 210 19 Revenues $ 16,393 $ 10,735 Timing of revenue recognition Products transferred at a point in time $ 3,266 $ 1,064 Services transferred over time 13,127 9,671 Revenues $ 16,393 $ 10,735 Contract balances The current portion of deferred revenue at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $ 1,266 and $ 403 , respectively, and primarily consists of revenue that is recognized over time for software license contracts and hosted subscription services. The changes in these balances are related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of these contracts. The entire December 31, 2020, current deferred revenue balance was recognized as revenue in the year ended December 31, 2021. The noncurrent deferred revenue balances were $ 8 and $ 9 as of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company did not recognize any material revenue in the current reporting period for performance obligations that were fully satisfied in previous periods. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period: SCHEDULE OF REVENUE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION 2022 2023 2024 Total Software as a Service (SaaS) $ 1,256 $ 3 $ - $ 1,259 Other subscription and support services 8 3 1 12 Extended warranties on equipment 2 1 - 3 $ 1,266 $ 7 $ 1 $ 1,274 All consideration from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented above. F- 15 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) Advertising Costs. Advertising costs, which are charged to expense as incurred, were $ 745 and $ 227 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Shipping Costs The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues for all periods presented. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using expected tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management’s judgment that realization is more likely than not. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of those assets. See Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” which requires the Company to calculate the fair value of financial instruments and include this additional information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of those financial instruments is different than the book value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value, due to their short-term nature. All of the Company’s financial instruments are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Business Concentration and Credit Risk Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains cash with two financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. The Company’s sales are principally made to large retail customers, financial institutions concentrated in the United States of America and to U.S. government entities. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations, generally does not require collateral, and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends, and other information. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made sales to two customers that accounted for approximately 55 % of revenue. The revenue was associated with commercial identity sales customers. These two customers, in addition to one other customer, represented 65 % of the Company’s December 31, 2021 accounts receivable balance. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had two customers that accounted for 41 % of revenue and 52 % of its December 31, 2020 accounts receivable balance. F- 16 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) As of December 31, 2021, the Company had four suppliers to produce its input devices. The Company has modified its software to operate in windows-based systems and can integrate with different hardware platforms that are readily available in the marketplace. The Company does not maintain a manufacturing facility of its own and is not dependent on maintaining its production relationships due to the flexibility of its software to run on multiple existing platforms. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents comprising of outstanding options, warrants and restricted stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares. In a period of net loss, all common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive.

This pronouncement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for equity payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for all equity payment transactions with employees. All equity compensation expenses are included in operating expenses. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock option grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. See Note 8. F- 17 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) Comprehensive Loss The Company’s comprehensive loss is equal to its net loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Segment Information The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC 280 (“Segment Reporting”), which establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in financial statements issued to shareholders. Management has determined that it has only one reporting segment. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments to measure credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate can now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. The guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of certain amendments of this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. F- 18 INTELLICHECK, INC.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Identifiable intangible assets The following tables set forth the components of intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL As of December 31, 2021 Estimated Adjusted Useful Carrying Accumulated Life Amount Amortization Net Patents and copyrights 2 - 17 years $ 375 $ ( 250 ) $ 125 Developed technology 5 years 400 ( 147 ) 253 $ 775 $ ( 397 ) $ 378 As of December 31, 2020 Estimated Adjusted Useful Carrying Accumulated Life Amount Amortization Net Patents and copyrights 2 - 17 years $ 481 $ ( 331 ) $ 150 Developed technology 5 years 400 ( 67 ) 333 $ 881 $ ( 398 ) $ 483 The following summarizes amortization of acquisition related intangible assets included in the statement of operations: SCHEDULE OF FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS AMORTIZATION EXPENSE Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Cost of revenues $ 95 $ 81 General and administrative 10 10 Amortization of intangible assets $ 105 $ 91 F- 19 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) The Company expects amortization expense for the next five succeeding years, and thereafter, will be as follows: SCHEDULE OF FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, FUTURE AMORTIZATION EXPENSE 2022 $ 105 2023 105 2024 105 2025 39 2026 20 Thereafter 4 Finite-lived intangible assets, net $ 378 These amounts are subject to change based upon the review of recoverability and useful lives that are performed at least annually. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired in businesses combinations. Under ASC 350, purchased goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment. The Company’s goodwill balance was $ 8,102 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. This goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of Mobilisa, Inc. and Positive Access Corporation. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter. Under authoritative guidance, the Company can use industry and Company specific qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that impairment exists before performing step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other entity specific events and sustained decrease in share price. The Company performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment by comparing fair value of the Company to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value was determined using the weighting of certain valuation techniques, including both income and market approaches which include a discounted cash flow analysis, an analysis of similar public company financial information, and an analysis of our market capitalization, which is sensitive to the volatility of the Company’s stock price. Although the Company believes that the factors considered in the impairment analysis are reasonable, changes in any one of the assumptions used could have produced a different result which may have led to an impairment charge. Any future impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on our long-term assets and operating expenses in the period in which impairment is determined to exist. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of the Company was greater than its carrying amount and therefore the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required. 5. DEBT Promissory Note On April 9, 2020 the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $ 796 (the “Note”) with First Bank (the “Loan Servicer”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The Company received these proceeds on April 14, 2020. Under the terms of the Note, the Company can apply for forgiveness on this Note with the Loan Servicer if certain conditions including the use of the Note proceeds are met over a 24-week period commencing from the date of the Note. The Note has an interest rate of 1 %. The Company has not imputed interest on the Note as the rate is determined to be a below-market rate due to the scope exception in ASC 835-30-15-3(e) for government-mandated interest rates. In November 2020, the Company received notification from the Loan Servicer that the Note was fully forgiven and recorded income from the extinguishment of its obligation as the Company was legally released from being the primary obligor in accordance with ASC 405-20-40-1. F- 20 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) On April 15, 2020, the Company received a $ 10 advance from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The Company repaid this EIDL advance on December 7, 2020. The Company had not imputed interest on this advance as the rate was determined to be a below-market rate due to the scope exception in ASC 835-30-15-3(e) for government-mandated interest rates. On December 27, 2020, Congress passed the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act (“the Economic Aid Act”) which relieves companies of their obligations to repay EIDL advances. As a result of this ruling, the SBA returned this advance, plus interest to the Loan Servicer on February 18, 2021, which was immediately returned to the Company and included in Other Income on the Statements of Operations. Revolving Line of Credit On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with Citibank that allows for borrowings up to the lesser of (i) $ 2,000 or (ii) the collateralized balance in the Company’s existing fixed income investment account with Citibank subject to certain limitations. The facility bears interest at a rate consistent of Citibank’s Base Rate (4.75% at December 31, 2021) minus 2%. Interest is payable monthly and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility and unused availability under this facility was $ 2,000 . 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: SCHEDULE OF ACCRUED EXPENSES 2021 2020 Professional fees $ 127 $ 124 Payroll and related 1,100 604 Incentive bonuses 1,565 835 Other 78 76 Accrued expenses $ 2,870 $ 1,639 7. INCOME TAXES The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that the Company believes will apply in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes as a Subchapter C corporation. As a result of continuing losses for tax purposes, the Company has historically not paid income taxes and has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset. The Company’s deferred tax assets are primarily the result of net operating losses (or NOLs). The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 as it is more likely than not that not all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation is based on management’s assessment that it is more likely than not the NOL carryforwards may not be realized in the foreseeable future due to objective negative evidence that the Company would not generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. 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. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets for federal and state income taxes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 5,708 $ 5,015 Payroll related accruals 194 235 Equity compensation 298 89 Intangible assets 89 89 Reserves 1 11 Research and development tax credits 511 411 Total deferred tax assets 6,801 5,850 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation ( 84 ) ( 24 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 84 ) ( 24 ) Net deferred tax assets 6,717 5,826 Less: Valuation allowance ( 6,717 ) ( 5,826 ) Deferred tax assets, net of allowance $ - $ - F- 21 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) There were no tax interest or penalties recorded in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company’s available NOL at December 31, 2021 was approximately $ 18.0 million . The federal and state NOL’s are available to offset future taxable income and began to expire in 2021. The Company files numerous tax returns in various jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority, nor has the Company signed any waiver of the statute of limitations with any taxing authority. The Company remains open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions from 2018 to date. ASC 740 requires evaluation of uncertain tax positions and as of December 31, 2021, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is different from the tax benefit that would result from applying the statutory tax rates primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances. In 2021, the valuation allowance increased approximately $ 891 primarily related to an increase of the Company’s NOLs. The Company had book loss in 2021 and a tax NOL was generated primarily due to permanent differences that occurred during the year. 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Series A Convertible Preferred Stock In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the creation of a class of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $ .01 . The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an equal number of common shares at the holder’s option, subject to adjustment for anti-dilution. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends as and if declared by the Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive all accrued dividends, if applicable, plus the liquidation price of $ 1.00 per share. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, there were no outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Equity Compensation To retain and attract qualified personnel necessary for the success of the Company, the Company adopted the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) covering up to 4,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, pursuant to which officers, directors, key employees and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units. All the equity compensation plans prior to Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan have been closed. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers this Plan and determines the terms and conditions of stock options granted, including the exercise price. This Plan generally provides that all stock options will expire within ten years of the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted under this Plan must be granted at an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value per share at the date of the grant and the exercise price must not be less than 110 % of the fair market value per share at the date of the grant for grants to persons owning more than 10 % of the voting stock of the Company. This Plan also entitles non-employee directors to receive grants of non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the options on the grant date. The table below presents the weighted average expected life of the stock options in years. The expected life computation is based on the time to stock option expiration. Volatility is determined using changes in historical stock prices. The interest rate for periods within the expected life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date. Options vest from one to four years. As discussed above, certain option awards no longer qualify as equity awards and instead are classified as liability awards. The fair values of these awards are determined at each reporting period utilizing a Black Scholes option pricing model, and the associated compensation expense for the reporting period is recorded. The Company recorded $ 3,331 of additional compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of this award reclassification. The fair value of the Company’s stock options granted in 2021 that are being classified as equity awards were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF SHARE BASED PAYMENT Year Ended December 31, 2021 Valuation assumptions: Grant price $ 7.78 – $ 11.50 Exercise price $ 7.78 – $ 11.50 Expected dividend yield 0 % Expected volatility 84.24 % – 90.94 % Expected life (in years) 5 Risk-free interest rate 0.80 % – 0.89 % F- 22 INTELLICHECK, INC.

All stock options have been issued with an exercise price that is equal or above the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Restricted Stock Units The Company periodically issues Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) which are equity-based instruments that may be settled in shares of common stock of the Company. The Company issues RSUs to certain directors as compensation which vest with the passage of time. The vesting of all RSUs is contingent on continued board services. The compensation expense incurred by the Company for RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and charged to operating expenses with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. F- 23 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) Restricted stock unit activity during the periods indicated below is as follows: SCHEDULE OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OUTSTANDING Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at December 31, 2019 2,670 $ 7.49 Granted 38,855 5.78 Forfeited - - Vested and Settled in shares ( 39,771 ) 5.65 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 1,754 $ 11.40 Granted 443,442 10.30 Forfeited ( 4,650 ) 11.50 Vested and Settled in shares ( 32,170 ) 8.47 Outstanding December 31, 2021 408,376 $ 10.43 Performance Stock Units On August 7, 2020, the Company issued 265,942 Performance Stock Units (PSUs) to its officers and certain employees as compensation (“PSU Plan”). 50 % of the PSUs were to vest based on the Company’s market price and 50 % were to vest based on the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA. Both the conditions were to occur over a specified time and were contingent on continued employment services. On November 4, 2021, the Company amended its PSU Plan so that 100 % of the PSUs will vest based on the Company’s market price as the sole vesting criteria. As a result of this amendment, the adjusted EBITDA performance metric from the previous plan is no longer a criteria performance metric. The Company recorded additional equity compensation expense of $ 164 in the fourth quarter of 2021 resulting from the amendment to the PSU Plan. Compensation expense is based on a Geometric Brownian Motion valuation model based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite period. If the Company determines that it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved, the amount of compensation cost derived for this performance metric is amortized over the anticipated service period. If these criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized, and any previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed. Compensation expense is charged to operating expenses with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

These costs are expected to be recognized as compensation expense over a weighted average period of approximately 1.86 years. Equity compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows: SCHEDULE OF EQUITY COMPENSATION EXPENSE Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Stock options $ 4,143 $ 3,240 Restricted stock units 1,956 140 Performance stock units 301 71 Equity Compensation, Total $ 6,400 $ 3,451 Equity compensation is included in operating expenses as follows: SCHEDULE OF EQUITY COMPENSATION Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Selling, general and administrative $ 5,782 $ 3,408 Research and development 618 43 $ 6,400 $ 3,451 The Company has a net operating loss carry-forward as of December 31, 2021, and no excess tax benefits for the tax deductions related to equity compensation awards were recognized in the statements of operations. Additionally, no incremental tax benefits were recognized from stock options exercised in 2021 that would have resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 1,456,747 shares available for future grants under the Company’s equity compensation plans. Warrants All previously granted warrants were issued with an exercise price that was equal to or above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no remaining warrants available to exercise. There were 9,000 warrants exercised at a price of $ 2.20 during the year ended December 31, 2021. 9. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK On June 23, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 1,769,230 shares of its common stock, offered to the public at $ 6.50 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $ 10,710 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions paid by the Company. Direct offering costs totaling approximately $ 141 were recorded as a reduction to the net proceeds and included in additional paid-in-capital on the statement of stockholders’ equity. 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases The Company leases an office in Melville, New York. Rent expense, which includes utilities, was $ 79 and $ 126 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations. F- 25 INTELLICHECK, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( All dollar amounts are rounded to thousands, except share data ) The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at lease inception. The arrangement is a lease if it conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. This operating lease is included in Operating Lease Right-of-Use (ROU) Asset and Operating Lease Liability, current portion on the Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Operating Lease ROU was $ 31 and its Operating Lease liability was $ 33 . The Company did not have an Operating Lease ROU or Operating Lease Liability as of December 31, 2021, as its office lease is on a month-to-month term. The Company recognizes rent and utilities expense for this lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, it uses its incremental borrowing rate of 5 % based on the commencement date in determining the present value of these lease payments. The Company considers instruments with similar characteristics when calculating this incremental borrowing rate. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Software License Agreement On February 26, 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with a third party (the “Licensor”) to purchase certain intellectual property rights and licensed software subject to certain restrictions. The purchase price of this license totaled $ 400 . The Company has an option to pay the Licensor an annual fee of $ 35 for maintenance and updates to be distributed from the Licensor. Legal Proceedings The Company is not aware of any infringement by our products or technology on the proprietary rights of others. The Company is not currently involved in any legal or regulatory proceeding, or arbitration, the outcome of which is expected to have a material effect on its business. Cash Incentive Plans In May 2020, the Board entered into a 2020 separate executive incentive bonus plan (“the 2020 Bonus Plan”) with the Company’s executive management team. Each agreement, under the 2020 Bonus Plan, is based on certain goals achieved by the Company plus individual achievements by each executive. At December 31, 2021, this bonus liability was approximately $ 1,237 which is included in Accrued Expenses on the Balance Sheets. In June 2020, the Company’s executive management team created a 2020 Employee Incentive Plan for all the Company’s non-executives and non-sales personnel.
