ICOP Digital Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

May 13, 2008

LENEXA, Kan. , May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ICOP Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICOP), an industry-leading company engaged in advancing digital surveillance solutions, today announced its operational and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 .

First Quarter 2008 Key Operational Highlights -- ICOP shipped ICOP Model 20/20(R)-W units to law enforcement agencies in 37 states; sales activity was most pronounced in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina and Wyoming. -- Reorders from existing customers engaged in full fleet deployments of the ICOP Model 20/20-W rose to 67% in the first three months of 2008 from 46% in the first three months of 2007. -- The Company has responded to 21 RFP's from law enforcement agencies seeking competitive bids for equipping their patrol fleets with high quality digital in-car video systems. Of the 16 awarded to date, ICOP has won nine of them; four are still pending. -- The Company launched a nationwide beta test of its ICOP LIVE(TM) wireless audio and video streaming solution in collaboration with a law enforcement agency serving a mid-sized U.S. city and several first responder agencies serving several smaller U.S. communities. The beta test was conducted to affirm ICOP LIVE's functionality and user compatibility in real world applications of the technology. As a result of the test, ICOP LIVE has successfully demonstrated how law enforcement can leverage the technology to gain real time insight into local gang activity and other covert surveillance operations; to provide real-time surveillance of remote areas or of sites where suspicious activity has been reported; and to quickly escalate response to routine traffic stops or domestic disputes that have turned problematic, among other applications. -- The Company commenced shipping the ICOP Extreme(TM) Wireless Mic to law enforcement agencies nationwide. The ICOP Extreme is a 900-MHz wireless microphone that records high quality audio at a range of over 2,000 feet (line of sight), representing an industry best. The industry standard wireless microphone delivers very poor quality audio, at very short range from the police vehicle.

Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 :

-- Revenues increased to $2.8 million, a 21.7% over $2.3 million. -- Adjusted EBITDA (see definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA below) decreased 39.9% to $(1.1) million, when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of approximately ($750,000.) -- Net loss increased 30.2% to $1.3 million, or $0.17 loss per basic and diluted share, from approximately $990,000, or $0.14 loss per basic and diluted share.

As of March 31, 2008 , the Company had $1.7 million in cash; accounts receivables of $2.7 million; $5.0 million in inventory and working capital of $7.0 million. Total shareholders' equity was $9.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating loss excluding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under U.S. GAAP, these expenses primarily represent a non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired in prior periods. Similarly, the expense recorded for stock-based compensation does not represent a current or future period cash cost.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance, leverage capacity, its ability to service its debt, and its ability to make capital expenditures for its stockholders. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the operating performance and value of companies within the digital surveillance industry.

Management believes the use of this non-U.S. GAAP measure provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business unit performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not a substitute for evaluating business unit performance utilizing U.S. GAAP financial information. Management uses non-U.S. GAAP measures in its budgeting and forecasting processes and to further analyze its financial trends and "operational run-rate," as well as making financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors and other users of ICOP's financial statements to better understand ICOP's recurring comparative operating performance for the periods presented.

ICOP's management uses non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods. ICOP's non-U.S. GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Although ICOP's management believes non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, ICOP acknowledges that items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on the Company's income from operations, pretax income, net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with U.S.GAAP. Therefore, management typically uses non-U.S. GAAP measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP results. Investors and users of our financial information should also consider the above factors when evaluating ICOP's results.

The attached schedule provides a full reconciliation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure.

ICOP will host a teleconference today beginning at 4:15 PM Eastern, and invites all interested parties to join management in a discussion regarding the Company's third quarter financial results, corporate progression and other meaningful developments. The conference call can be accessed via telephone by dialing toll free 1-800-218-9073 or via the web at www.ICOP.com. For those unable to participate at that time, a replay of the webcast will be available for 90 days at www.ICOP.com .
