REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc.
Stamford, Connecticut
L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc.
Stamford, Connecticut
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for
each of the three years ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
As discussed in Notes 1, 12 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying
financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for discontinued operations and a change in
the composition of reportable segments.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (L-1 or the Company) provide solutions and
services that protect and secure personal identities and assets and allow international
governments, federal and state agencies, law enforcement and commercial businesses to guard the
public against terrorism, crime and identity theft.
Pending Transactions
In January 2010, L-1 announced that one of its strategic goals and objectives for 2010 was to
explore strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. Subsequently, on September 19, 2010,
the Company entered into an agreement (the Merger Agreement) with Safran SA (Safran) and Laser
Acquisition Sub Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of Safran, pursuant to which,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company is to be
acquired by Safran in a merger transaction providing for shareholders to receive $12.00 per share
in cash, for an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $1.6 billion, inclusive of outstanding
debt. Completion of the merger remains subject to certain conditions, including, among others, (i)
the disposition of our SpecTal/McClendon and Advanced Concepts businesses as described below; (ii)
approval of the merger transaction by our shareholders; (iii) the expiration or termination of the
applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended (the HSR Act); (iv) termination or expiration of the Committee on Foreign Investment in
the United States (CFIUS) review period pursuant to the Exon-Florio Provision of the Defense
Production Act of 1950; (v) completion of the novation, termination or expiration of certain
contracts; (vi) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having
occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement; (vii) subject to certain materiality exceptions,
the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company and Safran and compliance by
the Company and Safran with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement; (viii) no law
or government order prohibiting the merger; and (ix) other customary conditions.
Also on September 19, 2010, the Company entered in a definitive agreement (the BAE Purchase
Agreement) to sell SpecTal/McClendon and Advanced Concepts (the Intel Business) to BAE Systems
Information Solutions, Inc. (BAE) (a subsidiary of BAE Systems, Inc., the U.S. affiliate of BAE
Systems plc) for a purchase price of $295.8 million in cash (and approximately $7.2 million in
assumed obligations), the net proceeds of which (as defined in the credit agreement) will be used
to repay outstanding debt under the Companys credit agreement. Completion of the sale remains
subject to certain conditions, including, among others, (i) termination or expiration of the CFIUS
review period; (ii) no Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the BAE Purchase Agreement)
having occurred since the date of the BAE Purchase Agreement; (iii) subject to certain materiality
exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company and BAE and
compliance by the Company and BAE with their respective obligations under the BAE Purchase
Agreement; (iv) the completion of certain actions in respect of organizational conflict of interest
provisions under certain contracts of the Intel Business; (v) no law or judgment prohibiting the
sale and (vi) other customary conditions. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the impact of the sale of the Intel Business whose
operating results have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless
otherwise noted, revenues and expenses in these notes to consolidated financial statements exclude
amounts attributable to discontinued operations. The consolidated financial statements do not
reflect the pro forma effect of the sale of the Intel Business or the repayment of the long-term
debt under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Overview
The Company operates in two reportable segments: Solutions and Services. The Solutions segment
includes Secure Credentialing and Biometrics/Enterprise Access. Secure Credentialing solutions span
the entire secure credentialing lifecycle, from testing through issuance and inspection. This
includes drivers licenses, national IDs, ePassports and other forms of government-issued proof of
identity credentials. Biometric solutions capture, manage and move biometric data for positive,
rapid ID and tracking of persons of interest. Biometrics solutions also encompass access control
readers that enable
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-7
businesses and governments to secure facilities and restricted areas by preventing unauthorized
entry.
Prior to September 19, 2010, the Services segment included Enrollment Services, SpecTal/McClendon
and Advanced Concepts. Enrollment Services performs fingerprint-based background checks necessary
for federal and state licensed employment in the banking, finance, insurance, healthcare, legal,
real estate, education and other industries. SpecTal/McClendon and Advanced Concepts provide
services to the national security and intelligence community, including information technology,
engineering and analytics, and intelligence. As a result of accounting for SpecTal/McClendon and
Advanced Concepts as discontinued operations, subsequent to September 19, 2010, the Services
segment consists of the Enrollment Services operating segment and all prior period segment data
have been revised accordingly.
Customers, depending on their needs, may order solutions that include hardware, equipment,
consumables, software products or services or combine hardware products, consumables, equipment,
software products and services to create multiple element arrangements.
Reorganization
On May 16, 2007, the Company adopted a new holding company organizational structure to facilitate
the issuance of its convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes or Notes) and the
structuring of acquisitions. Pursuant to the reorganization, L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. became
the sole shareholder of its predecessor, L-1 Identity Solutions Operating Company (L-1 Operating,
previously also known as L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc.). The reorganization has been accounted for
as a reorganization of entities under common control and the historical consolidated financial
statements of the predecessor entity, L-1 Operating, comprise the consolidated financial statements
of the Company. The reorganization did not impact the historical carrying amounts of the assets and
liabilities of the Company or its historical results of operations and cash flows.
The Company has no operations other than those carried through its investment in L-1 Operating and
the financing operations related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes. A summary balance sheet

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of L-1 and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
and controlled entities, after elimination of material inter-company transactions and balances.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the allocation of
the purchase price of the acquired businesses, assessing the impairment of goodwill, other
intangible assets and property and equipment, revenue recognition, estimating the useful life of
long-lived assets, inventory valuation allowance, provision for bad debts, income taxes, litigation
and valuation of and accounting for financial instruments, including convertible notes, interest
rate protection agreements, foreign currency contracts, warrants and stock options. Actual results
could differ materially from those estimates.
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-8
Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per share is
based upon the weighted average number of dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the year.
The per share amounts do not reflect the impact of outstanding in the money stock options, warrants
and restricted share awards of 0.3 million, 0.7 million, and 2.2 million shares during the years
ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.
The Company calculates the effect of the Convertible Notes on diluted net income per share
utilizing the if converted method since the Company has the right to issue shares of common stock
to settle the entire obligation upon conversion. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, the effect was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, approximately 5.5 million shares of common stock
issuable at conversion have been excluded from the determination of weighted average diluted shares
outstanding.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into a pre-paid
forward contract with Bear Stearns (now JP Morgan Chase) for a payment of $69.8 million to purchase
3.5 million shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $20.00 per share for delivery in
2012. The number of shares to be delivered under the contract is used to reduce weighted average
basic and diluted shares outstanding for income (loss) per share purposes.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue from sales of solutions that include hardware, components,
consumables and software components and related maintenance, technical support, training and
installation services integral to sales of hardware and software. The Company also derives revenues
from sales of fingerprinting enrollment services and government security and information
technologies services. A customer, depending on its needs, may order solutions that include
hardware, equipment, consumables, software products or services or combine these products and
services to create a multiple element arrangement.
When a customer arrangement does not require significant production, modification or customization
of software and does not include certain services considered to be essential to the functionality
of the software or is not otherwise within the scope of standards applicable to long term
contracts, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable.
Transactions which typically do not involve significant production, modification or customization
of software, or do not otherwise include services considered to be essential to the functionality
of the software include:
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-9
| Secure Credentialing solutions, primarily to federal and state government customers. | |
| Sales of hardware products and related maintenance and services. | |
| Sales of printing system components and consumables including printers, secure coating ribbon, film, and other parts, primarily to federal government customers. | |
| Sales of portable devices that provide iris and face and fingerprint identification and recognition and related maintenance and services. | |
| Licenses of off-the-shelf versions of fingerprint, face and iris recognition software and related maintenance and services. | |
| Sales of software and software developer kits and related maintenance and services. | |
| Services and software to scan, collect, and transmit fingerprints for identity and background verification. | |
| Document authentication solutions, which typically include sales of hardware, software, maintenance and support. | |
| Information technology and security services provided to U.S. intelligence community. |
Many of the Companys arrangements include multiple elements. Such arrangements may include one or
more of the following elements: consumables, equipment, hardware, software, rights to additional
software, when and if available software, software maintenance, hardware maintenance, hardware
replacement, technical support services, training, installation and consulting services. For
arrangements that include multiple elements that are not within the scope of standards applicable
to software revenue recognition, the Company allocates value to each element based on the relative
estimated fair value of each element, if fair value exists for each element. For arrangements
within the scope of standards applicable to software revenue recognition, which do not involve
significant modification or customization of the software or otherwise include services that are
considered essential to the functionality of the software, the Company allocates value to each
element based on its relative fair value, based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of
fair value, which is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately,
considering renewals and other evidence of fair value, as appropriate. If fair value or VSOE of
fair value, if applicable, exists for all undelivered elements, but does not exist for the
delivered element, then the residual method is used to allocate value for each element. Under the
residual method, each undelivered element is allocated value based on fair value or VSOE of fair
value, if applicable, for that element and the remainder of the total arrangement consideration is
allocated to the delivered element. If fair value or VSOE of fair value, if applicable, does not
exist for all undelivered elements, revenue is deferred until such time as fair value of
undelivered elements is established, at which time revenue is recognized for all delivered
elements. Revenue for maintenance and support is recognized ratably over the remaining term of any
maintenance support period.
For transactions not within the scope of standards applicable to revenue recognition for long term
contracts or software sales, revenue is generally recognized upon passage of title for product
sales, and performance for services, provided the four revenue recognition criteria listed above
are met. In certain cases, customer acceptance is required, in which case revenue is deferred until
customer acceptance is obtained. If the fee due from the customer is not fixed or determinable,
revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. If collection is not considered
probable, revenue is recognized when the revenue is collected. Maintenance, hardware replacement,
and technical support revenues are typically recognized ratably over the contract term, which
approximates the timing of services rendered. Revenues from security, technology, training and
similar services, including in revenue earned under time and material, fixed price level of effort
and cost reimbursable contracts, is recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue from the
collection and transmission of fingerprints for identity and background verification is recognized
when the fingerprint is transmitted to applicable background vetting agency. L-1s arrangements
generally do not include a right to return. Expenses on all services are recognized when the costs
are incurred.
Revenue related to consumables, equipment and hardware sales that require no installation is
recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, generally when the product is shipped,
provided no significant obligations remain and collection of the receivable is deemed reasonably
assured. Certain hardware sales to end users
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-10
require installation subsequent to shipment and transfer of title. Recognition of revenue related
to hardware sales that are contingent on installation is deferred until installation is complete,
title has transferred and customer acceptance has been obtained. When hardware products are sold
through authorized representatives, dealers, distributors or other third party sales channels the
obligation to install the hardware generally does not remain the Companys responsibility, but is
rather an obligation of the authorized representative, dealer, distributor or other third party and
to its ultimate customer. Consequently, for sales to third party distributors, revenue is
recognized at the time title is transferred, which is generally upon shipment. On rare occasions,
the Company is required to install products on behalf of third party distributors. In these cases,
revenue is recorded in the same manner as products sold to end users where acceptance of the
product by the third party distributor is contingent upon successful installation of the product.
Revenue from software sales and licenses is recognized in accordance with standards applicable to
software sales. The Company recognizes revenue of software products when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and the collection is
probable and VSOE exists for the undelivered element.
In the event that a multiple element arrangement includes hardware, software and services and the
software is more-than-incidental to the arrangement, but not essential to the functionality of the
hardware, the company recognizes revenues on software and non software elements pursuant to the
respective standards applicable to software and non software elements.
When multiple-element arrangements include software deliverables and involve significant
production, modification or customization of the software, or otherwise involve services that are
considered to be essential to the functionality of the software, L-1 applies the accounting
standards applicable to long term contracts. When VSOE of fair value exists for software
maintenance, technical support or other services in arrangements requiring contract accounting,
revenue for software maintenance, technical support and other services is recognized as the
services are performed and the rest of the arrangement is accounted for under standards applicable
to long term contracts. When VSOE of fair value is not available for such services the entire
arrangement is accounted for under standards applicable to long term contracts and the related
revenue is recognized with the rest of the contract deliverables under the percentage of completion
method.
In general, transactions that involve significant production, modification or customization of
software, or otherwise include services considered to be essential to the functionality of the
software and which are accounted in accordance with standards applicable to long term contracts,
include:
| Contracts or elements of contracts for the production of drivers licenses and other identification credentials that require delivery and installation of customized software. | |
| Identity solutions contracts, typically providing for the development, customization and installation of fingerprinting, face and iris recognition solutions for government agencies, law enforcement agencies and businesses. These contracts are generally for a fixed price, and include milestones and acceptance criteria for the various deliverables under the contract. |
In addition, the Company uses contract accounting for certain federal government contracts.
Revenue from long term contracts is recognized under the percentage of completion method. The
Company measures the percentage of completion using either input measures (e.g., costs incurred) or
output measures (e.g., contract milestones), whichever provides the most reliable and meaningful
measure of performance in the circumstances. Milestones are specific events or deliverables clearly
identified in the contract and can include delivering customized systems, installation and
services. When milestone measures are used, revenue is recognized when performance of milestones is
achieved. The Company recognizes revenue based on the total milestones billable to the customer
less revenue related to any future maintenance service requirements. On contracts where milestones
are not used, the Company generally recognizes revenue on a cost-to-cost basis or as the units are
delivered, whichever is most appropriate in the circumstances. The cumulative impact of any
revision in estimates to complete or recognition of
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-11
losses on contracts is reflected in the period in which the changes or losses become known.
The excess of billings under these contracts as
current assets.
Drivers license contracts or credentialing contracts or contract elements within such contracts,
generally require that L-1 incur upfront costs related to software, hardware and other equipment.
Such costs are capitalized and are depreciated over the of the contract term life, beginning when
the system goes into service. The delivery of credentials or licenses typically requires us to
customize, design, and install equipment and software at customer locations, as well as perform
training, supply consumables, maintain equipment and provide support services. Costs related to
customized software are capitalized during the period L-1 is designing and installing the system
and are amortized over the estimated useful life beginning when the system goes into service.
Revenue on these contracts is
Company records costs and estimated earnings in earned based on, and is contingent upon, the production of licenses or credentials utilizing the
deployed system and is therefore recognized when the credentials are produced. If contractual
arrangements include the sale of consumables on equipment whose title is transferred to the
customer, the Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at
the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Companys cash
equivalents consisted of money market accounts and overnight investments with banks.
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-12
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other
current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term maturities. The carrying
amount of borrowings under the revolving credit agreement approximates fair value since the
long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. The fair value of the Convertible Notes and Term
Loan is based on transaction prices. The fair value of interest rate protection agreements and
foreign currency forward contracts are determined based on the estimated amounts that such
contracts could be settled with the counterparty at the balance sheet date, taking into account
current interest rates, future expectations of interest rates, and L-1s current credit worthiness.
The recorded and estimated fair values are as follows at December 2009 and 2008:

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash equivalents
and accounts receivable. The Companys credit risk is managed by investing cash and cash
equivalents primarily in high-quality money market instruments.
Accounts receivable are principally due from government agencies and contractors to government
agencies. No collateral is required. Accounts receivable are not sold or factored. Billings
rendered in connection with work performed are in accordance with the terms of the contract and
collateral is not required. Management periodically reviews accounts receivable for possible
uncollectible amounts. In the event management determines a specific need for an allowance, a
provision for doubtful accounts is provided.
Including discontinued operations, as of December 31, 2009, U.S. Federal government agencies,
directly or indirectly, accounted for 41 percent of consolidated accounts receivable. As of
December 31, 2008, U.S. Federal government agencies, directly or indirectly accounted for 51
percent of consolidated accounts receivable.
Inventory and Suppliers
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. L-1 uses the first-in, first-out method to
determine costs of inventory. The Company evaluates inventory on a quarterly basis for obsolete or
slow-moving items and records the resulting write-downs to cost of revenues. L-1 obtains certain
products and services from a limited group of suppliers and contract manufacturers. While a loss of
a supplier could delay sales and increase the Companys costs, alternative sources of suppliers are
available.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost or at fair value for items acquired under capital
leases or in acquisitions. Cost includes capitalized interest for self constructed assets.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line methods over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets.
System assets acquired and developed in connection with drivers license contracts are depreciated
over the estimated useful life of the related contract, ranging from one to seven years, using the
straight-line method beginning when the system goes into service. The straight line method
approximates the pattern of recognition of the gross revenues over the estimated useful life of the
contracts, which take into account contract options that the Company believes will be exercised. In
connection with the acquisition of Digimarc Corporation (Old Digimarc), the Company evaluated the
useful lives of the system assets of the acquired business, and based on the historical experience
of both the Company and Old Digimarc determined that the useful lives of system assets are usually
extended beyond the initial term of the contract as the customers routinely exercise their options
to extend the contract. Accordingly the Company changed its depreciable lives to take into account
renewal options that the Company believes will be exercised. The change in depreciable lives
reduced depreciation expense by approximately $1.5 million in 2008 and is related primarily to the
assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Old Digimarc.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of completed technology, trade names, customer contracts and
relationships and other assets primarily arising from the acquisition of businesses or business
assets. These intangible assets are primarily amortized on a basis consistent with the timing and
pattern of expected cash flows used to value the intangibles, generally on a straight line basis
over useful lives ranging from 3 to 25 years.
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests, in certain
circumstances, such as the incurrence of operating losses or a significant decline in earnings
associated with the asset. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using the two-step
approach as prescribed in the relevant guidance. The first step is to compare the fair value of the
reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the
fair value, a second step must be followed to calculate impairment. The Company performs the
initial step by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of the reporting units,
which is determined primarily by using the discounted cash flows method, but considers
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-14
comparable market multiples and market transactions when available and suitable, as well as other
factors. Based upon these tests, L-1 determined that no goodwill impairment resulted at October 31,
2009, the date of the annual goodwill impairment test. In 2008, L-1 determined the fair value of
the biometrics business units were less than their carrying amounts resulting in a goodwill
impairment. See Note 14.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets with finite lives, such as intangible assets, property and
equipment and certain other assets, for impairment in accordance with the standard, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. L-1 records an impairment charge whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable
from estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When such impairment is
indicated, the related assets are written down to estimated fair value.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company received funding under time and materials contracts to perform
services for conceptual formulation, design or testing of possible product or process alternatives,
which it recorded as an operating expense offset under the requirements of the standard, Research
and Development Arrangements. The Company received funding of $0.4 million, $0.5 million, and $0.7
million during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In certain
circumstances the government obtains a royalty free right to use the technology developed under
these contracts. The Company generally retains the right to the data and ownership of the results
of its own research and development efforts.
In addition, the Company has research and development contracts which are accounted for pursuant to
the standards applicable to long term contracts. The Company recognized revenues of $4.9 million,
$6.7 million and $5.9 million related to these contracts during the years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related
debt using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $4.6
million, $4.2 million and $1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007,
respectively, of which $1.3 million, $1.4 million, and $0.0 million, is included in continuing
operations. Accretion of debt discount, also using the effective interest method, was $6.5 million,
$4.5 million and $3.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007,
respectively. Costs related to modifications of financing arrangements that do not qualify as
extinguishment of debt are expensed as incurred.
Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in the development of computer software to be sold
or leased once technological feasibility is reached. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008
and 2007, the Company capitalized $4.6 million, $6.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which
are being amortized over three to five years. L-1 recorded amortization expense of $2.2 million,
$2.4 million and $0.4 million related to these assets during the years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
Costs related to software developed for internal use are expensed as incurred until the application
development stage has been reached. Costs for externally purchased software are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful life not to exceed five years. Costs for self constructed
assets includes capitalized interest.
Warranty
The Company provides a warranty for manufacturing and material defects on hardware sold. A reserve
for warranty costs, based on estimates utilizing projected costs to repair units, is recorded and
periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. See Note 3.
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 assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-15
income tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates and changes in tax
rates are recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The deferred tax
asset valuation allowance is increased or reduced when the Company, based on estimated income of
the appropriate character and in the appropriate jurisdiction, determines it is more likely than
not that the amounts of the deferred tax benefits that will not be realized differ from the
recorded amounts. Prior to January 1, 2009 a reduction of the valuation allowance was recorded
either as a benefit in the income statement or as a reduction of goodwill if the reduction was
related to pre-acquisition net operating loss carry-forwards. After December 31, 2008, all changes
in the valuation allowance is reflected in the income statement.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, management evaluated the adequacy of the valuation allowance in
light of the results for the year and determined that, based on the cumulative results of
operations for the three years ended December 31, 2008, after considering items that do not enter
in the determination of taxable income, and the likely future operating results, it was more likely
than not that the portion of the tax benefits of net operating loss carry-forwards that would not
be realized would be higher than previously recorded. As a result, the Company increased the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance to reflect the estimated tax benefits it expected to
realize. During 2009, the Company reevaluated the adequacy of the valuation allowance based upon
the same methodology used in 2008 and 2007 and determined that the valuation allowance is adequate.
It is possible that, depending on the cumulative results of operations for the three year period
ending on December 31, 2010, after considering items that do not enter in the determination of
taxable income, and the then likely operating results, the valuation allowance may be increased or
decreased.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an interpretation, which
provides that the tax benefits of a tax position is recognized if the enterprise determines that it
is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the
position, on the presumption that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority
that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The tax position is measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting for interim periods and transition. The adoption of the interpretation on
January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Assets and liabilities of L-1s operations in Germany and Canada are denominated in Euros and
Canadian dollars, respectively, which are also the functional currency and are translated into U.S.
dollars at exchange rates as of each balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated
into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented.
Adjustments resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars of
operations whose functional currencies are the local currency are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss as a separate component in equity. The functional currency of the
Companys Mexican operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are
re-measured to U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date with the gain or loss reflected in income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured in U.S. dollars at historical rates.
From time to time, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the exchange
rate impact of specific purchase obligations denominated in foreign currencies. All gains and
losses resulting from the change in fair value of the contracts are recorded in operations. For the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, other expense, net, included a loss of approximately $0.4
million and $0.2 million, respectively, consisting of realized and unrealized gains and losses
related to foreign currency transactions and balances. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the
Company did not have any foreign currency forward contracts. None of the foreign currency forward
contracts were terminated prior to settlement. The fair value of forward currency contracts at
December 31, 2009 and 2008 resulted in an unrealized loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized gain of
$0.4 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award
and compensation cost is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award,
generally the vesting period based on the awards expected to vest. The estimated fair value of
restricted stock and stock option awards is determined on the date of the grant.
L-1 uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of option awards. Determining
the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating
common stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected terms. The expected volatility rate is
based on the historical volatility of the Companys common stock. The expected life of options is
based on the average life of 6.3 years. The Company estimated forfeitures when recognizing
compensation expense based on historical rates. The risk free interest rate is based on the 7 year
treasury security as it approximates the estimated 6.3 year expected life of the options. The
Company updates these assumptions on at least an annual basis and on an interim basis if
significant changes to the assumptions are warranted. In 2009 and 2008, the Company updated its
forfeiture rate assumption, which resulted in an increase of expense of $1.7 million in 2009 and a
decrease in expense of $0.3 million in 2008. Restricted stock awards are valued at the market price
at the date of grant.
Stock-based compensation from both continuing and discontinued operations for 2009, 2008 and 2007
was $23.7 million, $18.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, and includes $1.6 million in
2009, $0.7 million in 2008 and $0.6 million in 2007 related to restricted stock issuances.
Stock-based compensation also includes $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million for 2009, 2008
and 2007, respectively, for incentive compensation settled or to be settled in common stock and
fully vested stock options, as well as stock-based compensation related to the Companys retirement
plan contributions, settled or to be settled in, common stock of $9.4 million, $6.5 million, and
$0.3 million for 2009, 2008, 2007, respectively. The Company has recognized all compensation
expense in the consolidated statements of operations for 2009, 2008 and 2007 and did not capitalize
any such costs.
Stock based compensation attributable to discontinued operations was $8.7 million, $6.3 million
and $0.7 million for the 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The following table presents
stock-based compensation expense included in continuing operations (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During 2009, the Company adopted the following accounting standards:
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the accounting standard,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. With respect to financial assets and liabilities, this
was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
With respect to non-financial assets and liabilities, the standard was effective on January 1,
2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements of any period presented.
In March 2008, the FASB issued the accounting standard, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. The adoption of this standard, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a
material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 3.
In December 2007, the FASB issued the accounting standard, Business Combinations, which
establishes standards for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree in its
financial statements. The standard also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the
goodwill acquired in the business combination and for information to disclose. Among other things,
the standard requires securities issued in a business combination to be valued as of the
acquisition date, transaction costs incurred in connection with an acquisition be expensed, except
acquiree costs that meet the accounting standard, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities, contingent consideration be recognized at fair value as of the date of
acquisition with subsequent changes reflected in income, and in-process research and development be
capitalized as an intangible asset. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard effective
January 1, 2009. As a result of the adoption of the standard, the Company expensed transaction
costs of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and retroactively expensed previously
deferred transaction costs of $0.1 million in prior periods. L-1 expects that the adoption of the
standard will have a continuing material impact in accounting for future acquisitions.
In December 2007, the FASB issued the standard Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements adopted as of January 1, 2009. The Company did not retroactively revise the financial
statements for prior periods because the impact was immaterial.
In May 2008, the FASB issued the standard Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be
Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). This guidance required the
Company to separately account for the liability and equity components of the Companys 3.75 percent
Convertible Notes in a manner that results in recording interest expense using the Companys
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate for such debt. The associated discount is amortized using the
effective interest rate method over five years from the date of the debt issuance. The Company
adopted the standard on January 1, 2009, and applied its provisions retrospectively to all periods
presented.
In April 2009, the FASB issued the standard, Interim Disclosures about Financial Instruments. The
standard amends previous guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim and in annual financial statements and
requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the
fair value of financial instruments. This guidance was effective for interim periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements of any period presented.
In April 2009, the FASB issued the standard, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities
Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies which amends and clarifies
previous guidance to address application issues related to the initial recognition and measurement,
subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies in a business combination. The standard was effective for assets or liabilities
arising from contingencies in business
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-18
combinations consummated after December 15, 2008. L-1 expects that the adoption of this guidance
will likely have a continuing material impact in accounting for future acquisitions.
In May 2009, the FASB issued the standard, Subsequent Events, which establishes general
accounting standards for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This standard was effective
for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the financial statements for any of the periods presented.
In August 2009, the FASB issued the standard Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This
accounting update was effective for interim financial periods ending after August 2009. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements for any of the
periods presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued the standard, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The
standard changes the criteria to determine how an investee for a company is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) and therefore should be
consolidated. The standard is to become effective for transactions consummated after January 1,
2010. L-1 expects that if it enters into transactions that are within the scope of this standard,
its adoption of this standard could have a material impact on L-1s financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued the standard, Multiple Element Arrangements, which modifies
accounting for multiple element arrangements by requiring that the separation of the arrangements
be based on estimated selling prices based on entity specific assumptions rather than fair value,
eliminating the residual method of allocation and requiring additional disclosures related to such
arrangements. The standard is effective prospectively for arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company has not yet evaluated the
impact the adoption of the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Also in October 2009, the FASB issued the standard, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include
Software Elements, which amends software revenue recognition guidance to eliminate from its scope
tangible products containing software components that function together to deliver the tangible
products essential functionality and to provide guidance on how to allocate arrangement
consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that contain both tangible products and software.
The standard is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company has not yet evaluated the
impact the adoption of the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued the standard, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This accounting update was effective for the
first interim or annual financial reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption
of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Derivatives
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and foreign exchange risks that in part are managed by
using derivative financial instruments. These derivatives include foreign currency forward
contracts related to risks associated with foreign operations and interest protection agreements
related to risks associated to variable rate borrowings. The Company does not use derivatives for
trading purposes and at December 31, 2009, has no derivatives that are designated as fair value
hedges.
Derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair values. Derivatives designated and effective as
cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified to
earnings in the same periods in which the hedged transactions impact earnings. Gains and losses
related to derivatives not meeting the requirements of hedge accounting and the portion of
derivatives related to hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts
denominated in Japanese Yen aggregating $1.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements to reduce its exposure to the
variable interest rate payments on its term loan. In October 2008, the Company entered into an
interest rate protection agreement with a notional amount of $62.5 million, and expires in
November, 2011. Under the term of the agreement, the Company pays the counter party a fixed rate of
4.1 percent and receives variable interest based on three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3.0
percent). In May 2009, the Company entered into two additional interest rate protection agreements
with notional amounts of $50.0 million each, and expire in May 2011, pursuant to which the Company
pays a fixed rate of 1.4 percent and receives three month LIBOR. The counterparties to these
agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties
fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Companys exposure is limited to
the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each quarterly settlement period over the
life of the agreements. L-1 does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

was paid $0.6 million and $1.2 million in interest for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,

advising AFIX Technologies, Inc. The restricted period runs co-terminously with the term of Mr.
LaPentas employment agreement with the Company, dated as of August 29, 2006, and for a twelve
month period following the expiration of the term of Mr. LaPentas employment agreement. On April

repaid in 2012. These payments reflect the revised payment schedule under the term loans as
described below.
Credit Agreement
On August 5, 2008, L-1 entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit
Agreement), among L-1 Identity Operating, L-1, Bank of America, N.A., Wachovia Bank, National
Association, Banc of America Securities LLC and Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, Royal Bank of Canada,
Societe Generale and TD Bank, N.A. to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
by and among L-1, Bank of America, N.A. (Administrative Agent), Bear Stearns Corporate Lending,
Inc., Bear Stearns & Co., Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Wachovia Bank, N.A. and Credit
Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan
facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, with a term of five years, and a
senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $135.0 million.
The proceeds of the senior secured facilities were used to (i) fund, in part, the purchase price
paid, and fees and expenses incurred, in connection with the acquisition of L-1s acquisition of
Digimarc Corporation after giving effect to the spin-off of its digital watermarking business (Old
Digimarc), (ii) repay borrowings under L-1s existing revolving credit facility and (iii) provide
ongoing working capital and fund other
general corporate purposes of L-1. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has approximately $123.0
million available under its revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit of $7.1 million,
and borrowings of $4.9 million subject to continuing compliance with the covenants contained in the
agreement.
On July 9, 2009, L-1 entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the term
loans under the Credit Agreement have been split into two tranches: Tranche B-1 Term Loan and
Tranche B-2 Term Loan. The Tranche B-1 Term Loan, with an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $148.6 million at December 31, 2009, requires annual principal payments (payable
quarterly) of 5 percent of the related original principal amount through September 30, 2009, 10
percent of the original principal amount through September 30, 2010, 20 percent of the original
principal amount through September 30, 2012, and thereafter increasing over the duration of the
Credit Agreement. The Tranche B-2 Term Loan, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$133.5 million at December 31, 2009, requires annual principal payments (also payable quarterly) of
1 percent of the related original principal amounts over the remaining term of the Credit
Agreement. There were $4.9 million
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-28
of borrowings that were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2009. Under
the terms of the senior secured credit facility the Company has the option to borrow at LIBOR
(subject to a floor of 3 percent) plus 2.75 percent to 5.0 percent per annum or at prime (subject
to a floor of 2 percent) plus 1.75 percent to 4.0 percent per annum. L-1 is required to pay a fee
of 0.5 percent on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. All obligations of L-1
Operating under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by L-1 and by each of
L-1s existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
(subject to certain exceptions). At December 31, 2009, the interest rates were 6.75 percent for
Tranche B-1, 7.25 percent for Tranche B-2 Term Loans and 6.00 percent for borrowings under the
revolving credit facility.
L-1 is required to maintain the following financial covenants under the Credit Agreement:
| As of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date to the sum of (i) Consolidated Interest Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of L-1 Operating and its consolidated subsidiaries paid or payable in cash during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or immediately prior to such date, plus (ii) Consolidated Debt Amortization (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of such date, shall not be less than 2.25:1.00. At December 31, 2009 the ratio was 2.35:1.00. |
| As of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of L-1 Operatings Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which excludes standby letters of credit issued in connection with performance bonds) as of such date to its Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or immediately prior to such date, may not be more than: (i) 3.25:1.00 from the Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to and including March 31, 2010, (ii) 3.00:1.00 from March 31, 2010 to March 30, 2011, and (iii) 2.75:1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter. At December 31, 2009 the ratio was 2.97:1.00. |
The amendment provided that L-1s compliance with these financial covenants, through March 31,
2010, will be measured after giving effect to the reduced principal payments provided by the
amendment, as if the amendment had been in effect at the beginning of the measurement period, and
after eliminating the effects of certain recently adopted accounting standards.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, L-1 Operating may incur, assume or guarantee unsecured
subordinated indebtedness in an amount up to $200.0 million, provided that no default or event of
default shall have occurred or would occur as a result of the incurrence of such subordinated debt
and the borrower and its subsidiaries are in pro forma compliance, after giving effect to the
incurrence of such subordinated debt, with each of the covenants in the Credit Agreement,
including, without limitation, the financial covenants mentioned above. Pursuant to the terms of
the Credit Agreement, L-1 may incur, assume or guarantee any amount of unsecured subordinated
indebtedness, provided, that no default or event of default shall have occurred or would occur as a
result of the incurrence of such subordinated debt and the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) of L-1 and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the
incurrence of such subordinated debt shall be less than 4.75:1.00. The Credit Agreement limits the
ability of L-1 to (i) pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase capital stock, (ii)
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness, (iii) create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist liens upon any of its property, assets or revenues, (iv) sell, transfer, license, lease or
otherwise dispose of any property, (v) make or become legally obligated to make capital
expenditures above certain thresholds, subject to certain permitted adjustments, (vi) make
investments, including acquisitions, and (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These
covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. The Credit Agreement provides
for events of default which include (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods), among
others: nonpayment, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Credit Agreement or the other
Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), payment defaults or acceleration of other
indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, inability to pay debts as they become due and
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default
occurs, the Administrative Agent may, with the
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-29
consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) declare all outstanding
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement to be due and payable.
In October 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate protection agreements to reduce its
exposure to the variable interest rate payments on its term loan. The interest rate protection
agreement has a notional amount of $62.5 million, and expires in November, 2011. Under the term of
the agreement, the Company pays the counter party a fixed rate of 4.1 percent and receives variable
interest based on three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3.0 percent) In May 2009, the Company
entered into two additional interest rate protection agreements with notional amounts of $50.0
million each pursuant to which the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.4 percent and receives three
month LIBOR. The counterparties to the agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the
unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement,
the Companys exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each
quarterly settlement period over the life of the agreements. L-1 does not anticipate
non-performance by the counterparties.
Convertible Senior Notes
On May 17, 2007, the Company issued $175.0 million of Convertible Notes with a conversion feature
which allows the Company the option to settle the debt either in shares of common stock or to
settle the principal amount in cash and the conversion spread in cash or common stock. The proceeds
of the Convertible Notes offering, net of deferred financing costs amounted to $168.7 million. The
embedded conversion feature has not been deemed a derivative since the conversion feature is
indexed to the Companys stock and would be classified as equity.
The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated May 17, 2007 (the Indenture), between the Company
and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The Notes will be convertible only under certain
circumstances, as described below. If, at the time on a proportionate basis for each trading day of a 25 trading-day observation period. In the
event of a fundamental change as specified in the Indenture, the Company will increase the
conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock specified in the Indenture, or, in
of conversion, the daily volume-weighted average
price per share for a 25 trading day period calculated in accordance with the Indenture (as defined
in greater detail in the Indenture, VWAP) of the Companys common stock is less than or equal to
$32.00 per share, which is referred to as the base conversion price, the Notes will be convertible
into 31.25 shares of common stock of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If, at the time of conversion, the VWAP of the
shares of common stock of the Company exceeds the base conversion price of $32.00 per share, the
conversion rate will be determined pursuant to a formula resulting in holders receipt of up to an
additional 14 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and determined as set forth in the Indenture.
The Notes are convertible until the close of business on the second business day immediately
preceding May 15, 2027, in multiples of $1,000 in principal amount, at the option of the holder
under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business-day period after any five
consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price the Note, for
each day of such measurement period was less than 98 percent of the product of the last reported
sale price of shares of common stock of the Company and the applicable conversion rate for such
trading day; (2) during any fiscal quarter, if the last reported sale price of shares of common
stock of the Company for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending
on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to
130 percent of the base conversion price on the related trading day; (3) if the Company calls any
or all of the Notes for redemption; and (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions
described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company has the right to deliver shares of common
stock based upon the applicable conversion rate, or a combination of cash and shares of common
stock, if any, based on a daily conversion value as described above calculated
on a proportionate basis for each trading day of a 25 trading-day
observation period. In the event of a fundamental change as specified
in the Indenture, the Company will increase the conversion rate by a
number of additional shares of common stock specified in the
Indenture, or, in
lieu thereof, the Company may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate and
related conversion obligation so that the Notes will become convertible into shares of the
acquiring or surviving company.
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-30
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75 percent per year payable semiannually in arrears in cash
on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2027, unless earlier
converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in
part, on or after May 20, 2012, subject to prior notice as provided in the Indenture. The
redemption price during that period will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be
redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The holders can require the Company to repurchase the Notes for cash on May 15, 2012, May 15, 2017
and May 15, 2020. The embedded redemption and repurchase provisions have not been separated from
the host contracts and accounted for as derivatives because such embedded derivatives are deemed to
be clearly and closely related to the host contract.
The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of L-1 Operating. Under the
term of the Credit Agreement, as defined above, L-1 Operating may not make any dividend payment to
the Company except to permit the Company to make scheduled interest payments on the subordinated
debt up to a maximum of $10.0 million per year, and certain tax liabilities. However, subject to
certain prepayment requirements under the Credit Agreement, the Company may prepay, redeem or
repurchase the Convertible Notes in amounts not in excess of proceeds from the issuance of
additional equity securities of the Company.
6. EQUITY
Common Stock and Warrants
On December 16, 2005, in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement between L-1 and L-1
Investment Partners LLC dated October 5, 2005, L-1 sold to Aston 7,619,047 shares of L-1 common
stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of L-1 common stock at an exercise
price of $13.75 per share which expired in December 2008 for aggregate gross proceeds to L-1 of
$100.0 million.
On December 16, 2005, upon the completion of the acquisition of IBT, L-1 issued warrants to
purchase 440,000 shares of L-1 common stock with an exercise price of $13.75 per share to L-1
Investment Partners LLC for strategic advice, due diligence and other services relating to the
acquisition, all of which expired unexercised on December 16, 2008.
In connection with the merger with Identix, the Company assumed Identix obligation under a warrant
which was issued in exchange for the technology and intellectual property rights acquired by
Identix. The warrant was issued with contingent future vesting rights to purchase up to 378,400
shares of common stock at $9.94 per share. The fair value of the warrant at the time of vesting
will be recorded as additional cost of the acquisition of Identix. The warrant vests upon
successful issuance of certain patents with the U.S. government related to the technology acquired.
As of December 31, 2009, 141,900 warrants were vested of which 17,738 have been exercised, and
236,500 remain unvested. The warrants expire in 2014.
In connection with Identix merger with Visionics in 2002, the Company also assumed warrants to
purchase shares of Visionics common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the
merger, which were converted into warrants to purchase shares of Identix common stock. The
remaining warrants to purchase 38,789 shares of common stock of the Company will expire once it
fulfills its registration obligations, and have exercise prices between $20.78 and $26.53.
Pre-paid Forward Contract
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes on May 17, 2007, the Company entered into
a contract with Bear Stearns (subsequently acquired by JP Morgan Chase & Co.) to purchase 3,490,400
shares of the Companys common stock at a purchase price of $20.00 per share. Under the agreement,
Bear Stearns is required to deliver the shares to the Company in April-May 2012. The transaction is
subject to early settlement or settlement with alternative consideration in the event of certain
significant corporate transactions such as a change in control. At closing of the Convertible
Notes, the Company settled its obligation under the pre-paid forward contract to Bear Stearns for
cash of $69.8 million. The fair value of the obligation (which is equal to the cash paid) has been
accounted for as a repurchase of common stock and as a reduction of equity. Under terms of the
contract, any dividend payment that Bear Stearns would otherwise be entitled to on the common stock
during the term of the contract would be paid to the Company.

Plan carried over to, and became available for future awards under, the Companys 2008 Long-Term
Incentive Plan.
The following is a description of the other stock-based incentive plans for which stock awards are
outstanding. The 1996 Viisage Management Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Viisage Director Stock
Option Plan (the Option Plans) permit the Board of Directors to grant incentive and nonqualified
stock options to employees and officers and nonqualified stock options to directors. In 2005, the
Company adopted the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan), which provides for the
issuance of non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, as well as stock purchase
rights, stock appreciation rights and long-term performance awards to eligible employees, officers
and directors. Incentive stock options are granted at fair market value and are subject to the
requirements of Section 422 of the Options generally vest on an annual basis over a
period of four years. Options granted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Nonqualified options
are granted at exercise prices determined by the Board of Directors. To date, options granted to
directors have vested either immediately or between one to four years from the date of grant.
Options granted to officers and employees generally vest over four years or, in limited
circumstances, earlier if certain performance criteria are achieved. All options granted under
these plans expire ten years from the date of grant. In 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Stock in
Lieu of Cash Compensation for the Directors Plan to compensate non-employee members of the Board
of Directors. This plan allows directors to elect to receive their board compensation in cash or
stock. Both the 1996 Viisage. Management Stock Option Plan and the Viisage 1996 Director Stock
Option Plan expired and no new shares are available to grant from these plans.
In connection with the ZN Vision Technologies AG (ZN) acquisition on January 23, 2004, the
Company assumed ZNs Employee Share Option Plan. The options under this plan were fully vested
prior to the consummation of the acquisition. As part of the Imaging Automation, Inc. (iA)
acquisition on October 5, 2004, the Company assumed the 2003 Imaging Automation Plan and the 1996
Imaging Automation plan. Options previously issued under the plans were fully vested as of the
close of the transaction. In connection with the acquisition of Bioscrypt, the Company assumed
options outstanding under the Bioscrypt Stock Plan which vest according to terms of that Plan.
In connection with the merger with Identix in 2006, the Company assumed all of the then outstanding
options granted under the Identix Incorporated 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2002 Plan), the
Identix Incorporated New Employee Stock Incentive Plan, the 2000 Identix Incorporated Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan, the Identix Incorporated Equity Incentive Plan, the Visionics
Corporation 1990 Stock Option Plan, the Visionics Corporation 1998 Stock Option Plan, and the
Visionics Corporation Stock Incentive Plan based on the exchange ratio of 0.473. The 2002 Plan will
expire in 2012 and provides for the discretionary award of options, restricted stock, stock
purchase rights, performance shares or any combination of these awards to L-1 eligible employees,
and non-employee directors and consultants. Options generally vest on
an annual basis over a period of four years. Options granted under
the Identix Incorporated New Employee Stock Incentive
Plan, which will expire in 2010, generally
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-32
vest on an annual basis over a period of four years. Options granted under the Identix Non-Employee
Directors Stock Award Plan vest over one year. Options granted under the 2002 Identix Incorporated
Equity Incentive Plan generally vest over a four year period.

The aggregate unearned compensation cost of unvested options outstanding as of December 31, 2009
was $17.3 million and will be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $0.2
million, $2.6 million, and $7.9 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is calculated as the
difference between the market value of the Companys common stock and the exercise price of
options.
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-34
The fair value of option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:
December 31, | ||||||||||||
Years Ended | ||||||||||||
2009 | 2008 | 2007 | ||||||||||
Expected annual dividends |
| | | |||||||||
Risk free interest rate |
3.9 | % | 4.1 | % | 4.2 | % | ||||||

Expected life (in years) |
6.3 | 6.3 | 6.3 | |||||||||
Fair value of options |
$ | 4.42 | $ | 7.62 | $ | 11.34 |
The Company currently has no history or expectation of paying cash dividends on its common stock.
The expected volatility rate is based on the historical volatility of the Companys common stock.
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company reviewed the historical volatility of its common stock
and began using a weighted average method that more accurately reflects volatility. The expected
life of options are calculated pursuant to the guidance from Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The
Company estimated forfeitures are based on historical rates. The risk free interest rate is based
on the applicable treasury security whose term approximates the expected life of the options. The
Company updates these assumptions on at least an annual basis and on an interim basis if
significant changes to the assumptions are determined to be necessary.
Restricted Shares
During 2009, the Company awarded 1,650,750 shares of restricted stock to officers and employees and
had total outstanding restricted stock awards of 1,612,750 as of December 31, 2009. The restricted
stock vests over four years and the weighted average grant date fair value was $7.40 at December
31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, approximately 1,259,000 shares are expected to vest based on the
estimated forfeiture rate. Unearned compensation related to restricted stock that is expected to
vest approximated $8.0 million at December 31, 2009 and is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 3.4 years. Restricted stock expected to vest are determined by applying
the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding restricted stock awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In August 2006, the Companys shareholders approved the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which
made available 500,000 new shares for future issuance. In May 2008, the Companys shareholders
approved an additional 2,000,000 shares made available under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Shares issued under this plan were 485,249, 297,724 and 125,819 in 2009, 2008, and 2007,
respectively. The purchase price is determined by taking the lower of 85 percent of
the closing price on the first or last day of periods defined by the plan.
Cash received from stock option exercises and purchases of shares under the employee purchase plan
was $2.6 million, $5.5 million and $11.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and
2007, respectively.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company leases certain equipment and facilities used in its operations under non-cancelable
operating leases. Rental expense for operating leases related to continuing operations for the
years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $8.7 million, $6.8 million and $4.8
million, respectively. Rental expense for operating leases related to discontinued operations for
the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $1.4 million, $1.3 million and
$0.7 million, respectively.

denominated liabilities aggregated $1.8 million.
Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain individuals that provide for up to two years of
severance payments as a result of early termination without cause. The agreements also provide for

9. LITIGATION
Old Digimarc Litigation
In connection with the Companys August 2008 acquisition of Old Digimarc, which consisted of its
Secure ID Business following the spin-off of its digital watermarking business, the Company assumed
certain legal proceedings of Old Digimarc as described below.
Beginning in May 2001, a number of substantially identical class action complaints alleging
violations of the federal securities laws were filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York naming approximately 300 companies, including Old Digimarc, certain
officers and directors and certain underwriters of the companies initial public offerings as
defendants. The complaints were subsequently consolidated into a single action, and a
consolidated amended complaint was filed in April 2002. The amended complaint alleges, among other
things, that the underwriters of Old Digimarcs initial public offering violated securities laws by
failing to disclose certain alleged compensation arrangements in Old Digimarcs initial public
offering registration statement and by engaging in manipulative practices to artificially inflate
the price of Old Digimarcs stock in the aftermarket subsequent to the initial public offering. Old
Digimarc and certain of its officers and directors are named in the amended complaint pursuant to
Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 on the basis of an alleged failure to disclose the underwriters alleged
compensation arrangements and manipulative practices. The complaint sought unspecified damages. In
July 2002, the claims against Old Digimarc under Section 10(b) were dismissed. In October 2002, the
individual officer and director defendants were dismissed without prejudice pursuant to tolling
agreements. In June 2004, a stipulation of partial settlement among the plaintiffs, the companies,
and the officers and directors was submitted to the District Court. While the partial settlement
was pending approval, the plaintiffs continued to litigate their claims against the underwriter
defendants. The district court directed that the litigation proceed within a number of focus
cases rather than in all of the 309 cases that have now been consolidated. Old Digimarc was not
one of these focus cases. In October 2004, the district court certified the focus cases as class
actions. The underwriter defendants appealed that ruling and, on December 5, 2006, the Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the district courts class certification decision for the
six focus cases. In light of the Second Circuit opinion, in June
L-1 Identity Solutions 2009 Annual Report | F-36
2007, the district court entered an order terminating the settlement. On August 14, 2007, the
plaintiffs filed their second consolidated amended class action complaints against the focus cases
and on September 27, 2007, again moved for class certification. On November 12, 2007, certain of
the defendants in the focus cases moved to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action
complaints. The court issued an opinion and order on March 26, 2008, denying the motions to dismiss
except as to Section 11 claims raised by those plaintiffs who sold their securities for a price in
excess of the initial offering price and those who purchased outside the previously certified class
period. The class certification motion was withdrawn without prejudice on October 10, 2008. On
April 2, 2009, a stipulation and agreement of settlement among the plaintiffs, issuer defendants
(including Old Digimarc) and underwriter defendants was submitted to the Court for preliminary
approval. Old Digimarcs portion of the settlement, which is wholly immaterial, is covered entirely
by insurance.
On June 10, 2009, the Judge granted preliminary approval of the settlement, and on October 5, 2009,
the Judge granted final approval of the settlement. Notices of appeal of this decision have been
filed; the deadline for filing further notices of appeal is February 22, 2010.
On October 10, 2007, an Old Digimarc stockholder filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Washington against several companies that acted as lead
underwriters for the Old Digimarc initial public offering. The complaint, which also named Old
Digimarc as a nominal defendant but did not assert any claims against Old Digimarc, asserted claims
against the underwriters under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On February
28, 2008, an amended complaint was filed, with Old Digimarc still named only as a nominal
defendant. Similar complaints have been filed by this same plaintiff against a number of other
issuers in connection with their initial public offerings, and the factual allegations are closely
related to the allegations in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York which is described above. On March 12, 2009, after considering
motions to dismiss, one filed by thirty moving issuers and the other filed by the underwriters, the
judge dismissed the plaintiffs claims on a jurisdictional and statute of limitations basis. On
April 10, 2009, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal. The final appellate brief
was filed on November 17, 2009; the Ninth Circuit has not indicated whether it will schedule oral
arguments. The Company currently believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a
material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other
The Company records a liability for any claim, demand, litigation and other contingency when
management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and can reasonably
estimate the amount of the potential loss. Based on current information and belief, the Company
believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions
quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings,
advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.
However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation the ultimate outcome of certain
litigation cannot be accurately predicted by the Company; it is therefore possible that the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company could be
materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more
of these matters and contingencies.
10. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company established the L-1 401(k) plan on January 1, 2003. Participants are fully vested in
their contributions and vest 25 percent per year in L-1s contributions. The Company also has
assumed four other plans from its acquisitions of which one has not been merged into the L-1 401(k)
plan as of December 31, 2009. Company contributions on the one assumed plan which is not yet merged
vests immediately. The plans permit pretax contributions by participants of up to the annual
Internal Revenue Service dollar limit. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the
plans in cash or common stock subject to certain limitations. The costs for these plans included in
continuing operations were approximately $2.1 million, $1.6 million, and $1.4 million in 2009,
2008, and 2007, respectively. The costs for these plans included in discontinued operations were
approximately $7.4 million, $6.6 million, and $4.3 million in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

The Company is subject to income tax examinations by U.S. Federal and other jurisdictions for tax
years ended subsequent to December 31, 2004. However, the Companys loss carryforwards are subject
to adjustment by state and federal tax authorities in years the loss carryforwards are used to
reduce taxable income. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions
will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material
adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any material provision for interest or penalties. The Company
has made an election to account for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as
income tax expense.
A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Companys effective tax rate for the years

Deferred tax assets related to discontinued operations were $1.3 million at December 31,
2009 and 2008. Deferred tax liabilities related to discontinued operations were $14.0 million and
$11.4 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The increase in the deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance during 2009 are primarily
attributable to completing the accounting for the Digimarc acquisition, including recording
additional deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards determined to have been
acquired upon the filing of Digimarcs final pre acquisition tax return, and for state and local
deferred tax assets based on completing the analysis of previously filed tax return, all of which
required a full valuation allowance.
At December 31, 2009, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax
purposes of approximately $447.6 million which may be used to reduce future taxable income and
includes $12.7 million of tax deductions related to stock option exercises the tax benefit of which
have not been recognized. Substantially all of these carryforwards are subject to limitations
pursuant to the change in control provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Company has made an analysis of these limitations and recorded deferred tax assets only to the
extent these net operating loss carryforwards can be realized during the carryforward period. These
carryforwards expire from 2010 through 2030. In addition, the Company has $159.5 million of
deductible goodwill, of which $51.8 million relates to continuing operations.
In 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized tax loss and benefits, respectively, for stock options
exercised during those years. The benefit recognized, net of the related stock compensation expense
was $(2.0) million and $0.2 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, of which $0.5 million was
recorded in 2008 as a reduction of goodwill and $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as a
decrease of equity. The utilization of tax benefits related to stock option exercises is determined
based on ordering required by the relevant tax regulations.
12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of a company whose operating results are regularly
reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Companys chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The
Companys operating segments have been aggregated in two reportable segments: Solutions and
Services. The Solutions reportable segment provides solutions that enable governments, law
enforcement agencies, and businesses to enhance security, reduce identity theft, and protect
personal privacy utilizing secure credential provisioning and authentication systems, biometric
technology and the creation,

enhancement and/or utilization of identity databases. Prior to September 19, 2010 the Services
reportable segment provided fingerprinting services to government, civil, and commercial customers,
as well as information technology and security consulting services to U.S. Government agencies. As
a result of presenting the information technology and security consulting services as discontinued
operations the Services segment now solely consists of fingerprinting services. Accordingly all
prior segment data has retroactively revised to conform the data to the current presentation.
The Company measures segment performance primarily based on revenues and operating income (loss),
Adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow. Operating results by segment, including allocation
of corporate expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 are as follows (in

13. ACQUISITIONS
The results of operations of all consummated acquisitions described below have been included in the
consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
2008 Acquisitions
Digimarc
On August 13, 2008, L-1 completed the acquisition of Digimarc Corporation (Old Digimarc), which
comprises Digimarcs ID systems business, pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 29, 2008, as amended. The aggregate purchase price was
$310.0 million in cash, plus direct acquisition costs of approximately $5.6 million. L-1s
acquisition of common stock (the Shares) was structured as a two-step transaction, with a cash
tender offer by a wholly-owned subsidiary of L-1 for the Shares, pursuant to which L-1 initially
acquired approximately 79 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Old Digimarc on August 2,
2008, followed by the merger of such subsidiary with and into Old Digimarc (the Merger), with Old
Digimarc, now known as L-1 Secure Credentialing, Inc., continuing as the surviving corporation and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of L-1. Prior to the Merger, Old Digimarc distributed all of the
interests of the limited liability company (LLC) which held the digital watermarking business,
substantially all the cash of Old Digimarc and certain other assets and liabilities into a
liquidating trust for the benefit of Old Digimarcs stockholders (the Spin-Off). Immediately
following the Spin-Off, LLC merged with and into New Digimarc, with New Digimarc continuing as the
surviving corporation, and each unit of LLC converted into one share of New Digimarc common stock.
All restricted stock units and outstanding options to purchase shares of Old Digimarc common stock
became fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the record date used to determine which
Old Digimarc stockholders were entitled to the distribution of LLC interests in connection with the
Spin-Off. Holders of Old Digimarc stock options who exercised such options received cash
consideration in connection with the Merger and LLC interests in connection with the Spin-Off. All
Old Digimarc stock options that were not exercised prior to the completion of the Spin-Off were
cancelled.
L-1 acquired Old Digimarc because it believes that the acquisition positions the combined company
as a leader in providing credential systems and to take advantage of the opportunities created by
the enhanced ID programs. Moreover, the combined company will be able to deliver enhanced
protection and facilitate the development of the next generation of credentialing functionality.
Old Digimarc has been integrated in the Secure Credentialing operating segment included in the
Solutions reportable segment.
The purchase price, which was funded with borrowings under the Companys restated and amended
credit facility and proceeds from the

Total |
$ | 529,683 | $ | 1,106 | $ | 5,000 | $ | | ||||||||
In 2009, the Company performed its annual impairment test as of October 31, 2009 which indicated
there was no impairment of goodwill.
In 2008, the Company recorded asset impairments of goodwill of $430.0 million and long-lived assets
of $98.6 million, principally intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, and
relate to the Companys biometrics businesses included in the Solutions segment. The impairment
charges result from the deteriorating economic conditions that manifested themselves in the fourth
quarter of 2008, particularly as they impacted the biometrics businesses, as well as capital market
conditions that adversely impacted valuation of businesses the Company acquired and the Companys
stock price and market capitalization.
In 2007, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment of $5.0 million relating to certain
acquired biometric product lines that were not performing as anticipated.
Pursuant to the standard, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, the Company is required to test goodwill
for impairment whenever impairment indicators are present, or at least annually. The Company
performs its annual impairment test as of October 31 each year. The estimated fair value of the
reporting units was determined primarily using the discounted cash flow method, and considering
comparable market transactions and multiples. The aggregate enterprise values of all reporting
units resulting from the valuations were then compared to the Companys market capitalization at
the valuation date. Pursuant to the standard, the Company compared the carrying amounts of its
reporting units to their estimated fair values. At December 31, 2009, the estimated fair values of
reporting units significantly exceeded the recorded amounts. Accordingly, we concluded that no
impairment was indicated. At December 31, 2008 the carrying amounts (after adjusting for the
impairment of long-lived assets described below) of certain reporting units within the Solutions
segment exceeded the respective estimated fair values and thus were indicated to be impaired. The
Company calculated the impairment loss by deriving the implied fair value of the goodwill after
allocating the estimated fair value of the impaired reporting units to tangible and intangible
assets. With respect to the other reporting units for which an impairment was not indicated, the
estimated fair values significantly exceeded the recorded amounts.
For reporting units with an estimated fair value that was less than the carrying amount, the
Company considered whether long-lived assets were also impaired. As required by the standard,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company compared the carrying
amounts of the identified asset groups (including goodwill) to the undiscounted cash flow of the
asset groups. The impairment loss was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of
the long-lived assets and their estimated fair values, determined primarily based on the discounted
cash flows method.
The Company utilized a valuation advisor to assist in performing the impairment analyses and
valuations. Estimates of fair values were primarily based on the discounted cash flows based on the
Companys latest plans and projections. The use of the discounted cash flow method requires
significant judgments and assumptions of future events many of which are outside the control of the
Company, including estimates of future growth rates, income tax rates, and discount rates, among
others. In addition, the use of market transactions and multiples requires significant judgment as
to whether observed data is comparable to the reporting units being evaluated and how much weight
should attributed to such data in the valuation.

15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On September 19, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to be acquired by Safran, in a merger
transaction providing for L-1 shareholders to receive $12.00 per share in cash, for an aggregate
enterprise value of approximately $1.6 billion, inclusive of outstanding debt. The Safran merger is
conditioned on, among other things, the consummation of the BAE transaction pursuant to the sale of
the L-1 intelligence services businesses as described below.
Also on September 19, 2010, BAE agreed to acquire the stock and membership interests of the
entities comprising the L-1 intelligence services businesses for a purchase price of approximately
$295.8 million in cash and approximately $7.2 million in assumed obligations. These businesses
include SpecTal, LLC, Advanced Concepts, Inc., and McClendon, LLC. The closing of the BAE
transaction remains subject to, among other conditions, certain U.S. regulatory clearances, and is
expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2010. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement the net cash
proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from the closing of the BAE transaction will be used
to repay a portion of the Companys indebtedness under its credit facility, currently estimated at
$270.0 million. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments based on the businesses
working capital at closing. It is expected that the sale of the intelligence services businesses
will result in a gain which will be recorded upon consummation of the sale.
The Safran and BAE transactions are not subject to financing. The closing of the Safran merger is
conditioned on the closing of the BAE transaction; however, the closing of the BAE transaction is
not conditioned on the closing of the Safran merger.

Included in discontinued operations is interest expense related to the estimated debt that is
required to be repaid from the net cash proceeds from the sale of the business in accordance with
the terms of the Credit Agreement. Interest has been allocated to discontinued operations based on
the ratio that the estimated debt to be repaid bears to the total average debt outstanding during
the period.
The tax benefit (provision) allocated to discontinued operations was determined by first
calculating the provision on a consolidated basis including discontinued operations and then
calculating the provision excluding the discontinued operations. The difference between the two
calculations was then allocated to discontinued operations.
In connection with the sale of the Intel Business, the Company expects to recognize a significant
gain for tax reporting purposes, which is estimated to result in a current tax liability of
approximately $20.0 million. The tax effects of the sale will be reflected as discrete items in
the period during which the sale is consummated.
