AMERICAN BANK NOTE HOLOGRAPHICS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

American Bank Note Holographics, Inc. (the “Company” or “ABNH”) originates, mass-produces, and markets secure holograms. Holograms are used for security, packaging and promotional applications. The Company operates in one reportable industry segment.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition.” Specifically, sales and the related cost of goods sold are generally recognized at the latter of the time of shipment or when title passes to customers. In some situations, the Company has shipped product where the sale is contingent upon the customers’ use of the product. In these situations, the Company does not recognize sales upon product shipment, but rather when the buyer of the product informs the Company that the product has been used. Additionally, pursuant to terms with a certain customer, completed items are stored on behalf of the customer at the Company’s on-site secured facility and, in that instance, sales are recognized when all of the following have occurred: the customer has ordered the goods, the manufacturing process is complete, the goods have been transferred to the on-site secured facility and are ready for shipment, the risk of ownership has passed to the customer and the customer has been billed for the order.

Customer advances represent payments received from customers for products which have not yet been shipped. These customer advances are classified as current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.

Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers are included in sales and amounted to $105,000 and $191,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and $102,000 and $195,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. Shipping and handling costs are included in selling and administrative expenses.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. The basic weighted average number of shares outstanding were 18,483,720 in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential shares of common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding was the same as the basic number of weighted average shares outstanding because the exercise price of the outstanding stock options and warrants was greater than the average market value of the underlying common

stock for the period, making them antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 the diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding was 18,502,239 and 18,493,669, respectively.

BUSINESS INFORMATION

Sales to MasterCard were approximately 37% of sales for each of the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company provides holograms to MasterCard pursuant to an agreement, as amended, which expires in February 2003, subject to automatic renewal if not terminated by either party. The loss of all or a substantial portion of the sales to MasterCard, however, would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 accounts receivable from this customer totaled $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Sales to manufacturers of VISA credit cards were approximately 23% and 24% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The loss of a substantial portion of the sales to these customers would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Accounts receivable from these customers approximated $1.1 million and $1.0 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

The Company purchases certain key materials used in the manufacture of its holograms and outsources certain key processes from third party suppliers, some of which are sole source relationships, with whom the Company does not have supply contracts. Any problems that occur with respect to the delivery, quality or cost of any such materials or processes could have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and defines criteria for recognition of acquired intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and completed its required transitional fair value impairment test on its goodwill, which valuation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the amortization of goodwill ceased as of January 1, 2002. Had goodwill amortization been recorded in 2002, goodwill amortization expense of $172,000 would have been included in the accompanying unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

The 2001 historical financial statements do not reflect the provisions of SFAS 142. Had the Company adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2001, net income and basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, would have been as follows (in thousands):

                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
   
 
Net income as reported
  $ 239     $ 529  
Add: Goodwill amortization
    86       172  
 
   
     
 
Adjusted net income
  $ 325     $ 701  
 
   
     
 
Proforma net income per share
  $ 0.02     $ 0.04  
 
   
     
 

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets to be recorded as increases in costs of the related asset. Also, on October 3, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of

7


Table of Contents

Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.” SFAS No. 144 develops one accounting model for determining impairment based on the model in SFAS No. 121, and for long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale, requires them to be recorded at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. SFAS No. 144 expands the scope of “discontinued operations.” The implementation of these statements did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE B — INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

NOTE C – SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

ABNH and Leonhard Kurz GmbH & Co. KG (“Kurz”) have entered into a Settlement Agreement, a Patent License Agreement and a Substitute Cross License Agreement each dated as of July 1, 2002.

Under the Settlement Agreement, ABNH has granted Kurz and its customers in connection with the use of Kurz products an irrevocable release from any past, present and future infringements of ABNH’s demetallization and hot stamping patents except for a future use in a specific interpretation of the demetallization patents that would be covered by the separate Patent License Agreement. Kurz has granted ABNH an irrevocable release from any past, present and future infringements of Kurz’s Meisel patents covering principles of embossing of surface reliefs in general. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Kurz will make payments to ABNH totaling $900,000 over two years. ABNH will recognize the present value of such amounts as other income in the third quarter of 2002, net of legal expenses.

The Patent License Agreement provides for ABNH to grant Kurz and its customers in connection with the use of Kurz products an irrevocable, non-exclusive, world-wide right to produce, have produced, use, market and sell any products that fall under the definitions set forth in the Patent License Agreement and are covered by ABNH’s demetallization patents. Kurz will pay ABNH a 3.5% royalty on the net selling price of all products covered by the Patent License Agreement following the date of the Patent License Agreement.

The Substitute Cross License Agreement (“CLA”) replaces the agreement that ABNH and Kurz entered into in February 1992 that covered holographic magnetic stripes, or HoloMag ™. Both ABNH and Kurz own patents that cover holographic magnetic stripes, and they have cross-licensed them to each other under the CLA. Under the CLA, ABNH has the exclusive right to sell HoloMag ™ for card products to United States based card authorizing organizations regardless of where such card authorizing organizations assemble or distribute cards. ABNH has the right to procure certain or all of the materials to produce HoloMag ™ from Kurz or from any third party, and will pay Kurz royalties ranging from 0 to 12% depending on which, if any, components Kurz supplies to ABNH. Kurz retains the right along with ABNH to make, use and sell HoloMag ™ for applications other than cards.

NOTE D — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

SEC INVESTIGATION

On February 9, 1999, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC issued a Formal Order Directing Private Investigation in connection with matters giving rise to the need to restate the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the first three quarters of 1998 that were filed by former management. The SEC has concluded its investigation of the Company and has accepted the Company’s offer of settlement. On March 16, 2001, the Commissioners of the SEC approved an order making findings and imposing a cease and desist order on any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and (B), and 30A of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, and 13a-13. Without admitting or denying any liability the Company paid a $75,000 fine to the SEC because certain former senior officers of the Company allegedly violated provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company recorded the fine as a charge to its statement of operations in the fourth quarter of 2000. The order was approved and filed by the Secretary of the SEC on July 18, 2001.

OTHER

A consolidated class action complaint against ABNH, certain of our former officers and directors, our former parent company, American Banknote Corporation (“ABN” or the “Former Parent”), the four co-lead underwriters of ABNH’s Initial Public Offering (the “Offering”) and our previous auditors, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws and seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of ABNH’s common stock during the class period (July 15, 1998 through February 1, 1999). In October 2000, ABNH, all other defendants and the plaintiffs entered into a definitive agreement to settle all of the claims that were the subject of the class action, as well as claims asserted against the Former Parent and other defendants in a separate class action. The settlement agreement received the final approval of the Court on December 15, 2000. Under the settlement, the insurance carrier for ABNH and the Former Parent paid $12,500,000, the previous auditors paid $2,350,000 and ABNH issued and distributed 1,460,000 shares of its common stock as well as warrants to purchase 863,647 shares of ABNH’s common stock, at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The shares, all of which have been distributed, have been included in shares outstanding in the accompanying financial statements. The warrants, all of which have been issued, are exercisable through June 18, 2003.

On December 8, 1999, the Former Parent filed a petition and plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. In connection with negotiations on the Chapter 11 plan, the Company reached an agreement with the Former Parent which is subject among other things to (i) definitive documentation, (ii) Court approval of the settlement of the shareholder litigation, and (iii) approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court in which the Former Parent’s plan of reorganization is pending. The agreement is subject to consummation of the Chapter 11 plan and also provides that (i) the parties exchange mutual, general releases for any obligations each may have to the other pursuant to the separation agreement between ABNH and the Former Parent dated July 20, 1998, and all sums allegedly owing by each of ABNH and the Former Parent, and its affiliates, to each other, (ii) the Company will receive 25,000 shares of stock of the reorganized Former Parent, (iii) the Former Parent will be responsible for and shall pay all asserted and unasserted income, franchise or similar tax liabilities of the Company for the period January 1, 1990 through July 20, 1998 and will indemnify the Company with respect to any such liabilities and (iv) the Company will withdraw its claim against the Former Parent in the Chapter 11 case and not object to the Former Parent’s Chapter 11 plan as long as it comports with the terms of the agreement between the Company and the Former Parent. The above described settlement between the Company and the Former Parent was made as part of the Chapter 11 plan which the bankruptcy court confirmed on November 3, 2000. As a result of the above agreement the Company included in its statement of operations in 2000, approximately $0.5 million relating to the reversal of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the Former Parent and affiliates.

We understand that ABN was unable to consummate the plan as originally confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. We further understand that ABN filed an amended plan, dated July 17, 2002 (the “Amended Plan”), in connection with which the Bankruptcy Court approved an amended disclosure statement which, we are informed, has been sent to the required creditors and parties in interest. The Amended Plan is scheduled for a confirmation hearing on August 21, 2002. There can be no assurance that the bankruptcy plan will be consummated.

On June 30, 2000, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Crane & Co., Inc. (“Crane”). Under the Agreement, the Company sold 3,387,720 shares of the Company’s common stock to Crane for an aggregate purchase price of $9,316,230. The Agreement also provides Crane with the right to purchase its proportionate share of any new issuance of the Company’s securities, other than securities issued in connection with an acquisition, securities issued in connection with any stock option plan or agreement, securities issued in replacement of any outstanding securities, securities issued to all holders of shares of common stock on a pro rata basis or any securities issued in connection with a strategic investment. Also, in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock and or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock in connection with the settlement of any litigation that was outstanding as of June 29, 2000, Crane will be allowed to purchase its proportionate share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $3.35 per share. As of August 9, 2002, no proportionate purchase has been made.

The Company currently and from time to time is involved in litigation (as both plaintiff and defendant) incidental to the conduct of its business; however, other than as described above, the Company is not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management of the Company, could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

The Company originates, mass-produces and markets holograms. The Company’s holograms are used primarily for security applications such as counterfeiting protection for credit and other transaction cards, identification cards and documents of value, as well as for tamper resistance and authentication of high-value consumer and industrial products. The Company also produces non-secure holograms for packaging and promotional applications. Our sales of holograms for security applications generally carry higher gross margins than sales for non-security applications.

Concerns regarding counterfeiting, piracy and other infractions that can result in lost sales, lost goodwill and product liability claims drive the use of product authentication holograms. Companies in various industries have utilized holograms as authentication devices to reduce potential losses. Also, concerns over counterfeiting and copying have led to an increased use of holograms on documents of value, including currency, passports, business cheques, gift certificates, vouchers, certificates of deposit, stamps (postage and revenue), tickets and other financial instruments.

A significant portion of the Company’s business is derived from orders placed by certain credit card companies, including MasterCard and manufacturers of VISA brand credit cards, and variations in the timing of such orders can cause significant fluctuations in the Company’s sales. Sales to MasterCard were approximately 37% of sales for each of the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company provides holograms to MasterCard pursuant to an agreement, as amended, which expires in February 2003, subject to automatic renewal if not terminated by either party. Sales to manufacturers of VISA credit cards were approximately 23% and 24% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company does not have long-term purchase contracts with VISA and supplies holograms to approximately 50 VISA authorized card manufacturers pursuant to purchase orders. Currently the Company is one of two companies authorized to manufacture and sell VISA brand holograms to manufacturers of VISA brand credit cards. If either MasterCard or VISA were to terminate its respective relationship with the Company or substantially reduce their orders, there would be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Holograms are sold under purchase orders and contracts with customers. Sales and the related cost of goods sold are generally recognized at the latter of the time of shipment or when title passes to customers. In some situations, the Company has shipped product where the sale is contingent upon the customers’ use of the product. In these situations, the Company does not recognize sales upon product shipment, but rather when the buyer of the product

informs the Company that the product has been used. Additionally, pursuant to terms with a certain customer, completed items are stored on behalf of the customer at the Company’s on-site secured facility and, in that instance, sales are recognized when all of the following have occurred: the customer has ordered the goods, the manufacturing process is complete, the goods have been transferred to the on-site secured facility and are ready for shipment, the risk of ownership has passed to the customer and the customer has been billed for the order. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, accounts receivable from this customer totaled $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Company purchases certain key materials used in the manufacture of its holograms and outsources certain key processes from third party suppliers, some of whom are sole source relationships, with which it does not have supply contracts. Any problems that occur with respect to the delivery, quality or cost of any such materials or processes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Sales may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in customers’ ordering patterns. Customers do not typically provide the Company with precise forecasts of future order quantities. Quarterly demand for holograms may be materially influenced by customers’ promotions, inventory replenishment, card expiration patterns, delivery schedules and other factors which may be difficult for the Company to anticipate.

Cost of goods sold includes raw materials such as nickel, foils, films and adhesives; labor costs; manufacturing overhead; and hologram origination costs (which represent costs of a unique master hologram that is made to customer specifications and is an integral part of the production process). As a result, costs of goods sold are affected by product mix, manufacturing yields, costs of hologram originations and changes in the cost of raw materials and labor.

Selling and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and commissions for the Company’s corporate, sales, marketing and administrative personnel, marketing and promotion expenses, legal and accounting expenses, shipping and handling expenses and expenses associated with being a public company.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

Sales. Sales decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.4%, from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales for holograms for credit cards of $0.4 million offset by an increase of $0.2 million for sales of non credit card security holograms.

Royalty Income. Royalty income increased from $0.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as a result of higher sales reported by a licensee.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold remained relatively unchanged. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased from 49.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 51.8% for the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily due to an increase in warranty expense of 2% and an increase in obsolescence expense of 2% offset by a decrease in production costs of 2%.

Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged from the prior period, however, selling expenses decreased approximately $45,000 from $549,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $504,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to decreases in travel and show expenses. Administrative expenses increased $105,000 from $1,230,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $1,335,000 for the same period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to increases in professional fees, general insurance and bad debt expense.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $66,000 from $263,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $197,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the cessation of goodwill amortization of $86,000 offset by an increase in depreciation of fixed assets of $19,000.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $45,000, from $69,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $24,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of lower interest rates in effect during the

current period.

Sales. Sales decreased by $0.6 million, or 5.8%, from $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in sales was due to decreases in sales of security holograms for credit cards and sales of non credit card security holograms of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased from 48.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 51.0% for the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily due to an increase in warranty expense of 1%, an increase in obsolescence expense of 1% and an increase in production costs of 1%.

Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged, however, selling expenses decreased $31,000 from $1,051,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $1,020,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to decreases in travel and show expenses. Administrative expenses increased $96,000 from $2,542,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $2,638,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to increases in general insurance and bad debt expense.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $119,000, from $166,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $47,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of lower interest rates in effect during the current period.
