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, 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.

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

of 0.4 million, 0.3 million, and 0.7 million
shares during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and
2008, 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, 2010, 2009 and
2008, 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
Company’s 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.

Many of the Company’s 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-1’s 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 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 Company’s 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

In the event that a multiple element arrangement includes
hardware, software and services and the software is

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.

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
<font style="white-space: nowrap">cost-to-cost</font>
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 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.

Driver’s 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 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.

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-1’s current credit worthiness. The recorded and
estimated fair values are as follows at December 2010 and 2009:

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 in 2009 was determined primarily by using the
discounted cash flows method, but considered comparable market
multiples and market transactions when available and suitable,
as well as other factors. In 2010, the estimated fair value was
based on the enterprise value derived from the sales price of
the Intel Business and the sale of the Company pursuant to the
transactions described in Note 1. Based upon these tests,
L-1 determined that no goodwill impairment resulted at
October 31, 2010, the date of the annual goodwill
impairment test for the reporting units included in continuing
operations or as of September 30, 2010, the date of the
interim goodwill impairment test for the reporting units
comprising the discontinued operations. 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.

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.

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 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
are reflected in the statement of operations.

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 the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company
reevaluated the adequacy of the valuation allowance based on the
same methodology used in 2008 and 2009, and determined that the
valuation allowance should be decreased. It is possible that,
depending on the cumulative results of operations for the three
year period ending on December 31, 2011, 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.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of a tax position if the
Company 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.

Assets and liabilities of L-1’s operations in Germany,
India and Canada are denominated in Euros, Rupees and Canadian
dollars, respectively, which are also the functional currencies
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 Company’s Mexican operations
is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, monetary assets and

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured in

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, 2010, 2009 and 2008, other expense, net,
included a loss of approximately $0.7 million,
$0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively,
consisting of realized and unrealized gains and losses related
to foreign currency transactions and balances. None of the
foreign currency forward contracts were terminated prior to
settlement. The fair value of forward currency contracts at

2010 and 2009 and an unrealized gain of $0.4 million in
2008.

Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date
based on the fair value of the award and compensation cost is

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 Company’s 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 2010, 2009 and
2008, the Company updated its forfeiture rate assumption, which
resulted in a decrease of expense of $1.7 million in 2010,
a increase 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.
