Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein particularly in view of the current state of our operations, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a statement by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth herein under the headings "Business," "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. 2 PART I ITEM 1: BUSINESS Overview Beginning in 2003, we changed our business and began operating under a new business model. On January 3, 2003, our former president and chief executive officer, Clifford G. Brockmyre II, resigned and was replaced by Michael S. Smith, one of our board members. At the same time, we moved our corporate headquarters from Warwick, RI to Rochester, NY. On April 30, 2003, Dr. Allan Robbins and Paul Delmore were appointed to fill two existing vacancies on our board of directors (board). Mr. Brockmyre remained on our board until October 30, 2003 at which time he resigned. On March 15, 2004, Brian Corridan resigned from our board. In conjunction with our change of management in 2003, we decided to restructure our business. Beginning in the second quarter of 2003 we commenced operations in the field of information technology (IT) consulting services and biometric technology, and we opened an office in the Washington DC metropolitan area. We now provide business and information technology services and systems support primarily to U.S. government clients. We focus on aligning business processes with technology for delivery of solutions to meet our clients' exact needs and providing expert management services to the lifecycle of technology-based projects. We sold a portion of the business of our Laser Fare, Inc. subsidiary (LF) (primarily the medical and engraving business) as of December 31, 2003 and the remaining business as of December 31, 2004, although we continued to operate the business during the disposal process. We had notes receivable of $2.1 million due from the buyer at December 31, 2004 and related bank promissory notes and a capital lease obligation of $2.1 million. In May 2005, the buyer obtained new bank financing and paid off all of LF's notes receivable, which proceeds were used to pay off LF's bank promissory notes and capital lease obligation. This improved working capital by approximately $1.9 million, since the bank promissory notes and the capital lease obligation were all classified as current liabilities due to violations of certain loan covenants. We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 14, 1986. On January 7, 1998, we changed our name from Infinite Machines Corp. to Infinite Group, Inc. Our principal corporate headquarters are located at 595 Blossom Road, Suite 309, Rochester, NY 14610. Since January 1, 2005, our business is exclusively in the field of IT services and biometric technology. We maintain a website at www.us-igi.com. The content of our website shall not be deemed part of this report. Our Business Information Technology Services During 2005, we provided IT services including business and technology integration and systems support to U.S. government and commercial clients. Our work includes leading edge operations supporting complex programs in Advanced Server Management, Wireless Technology, Human Capital Services, Enterprise Architecture and Earned Value Management. We focus on aligning business processes with technology for delivery of solutions meeting our clients' exact needs in the following seven practice areas: Enterprise Architecture. Our approach to developing architecture for our clients' IT needs begins with the business model. Business drives the need for solutions, and technology facilitates the solution. By understanding the business drivers, we establish the architectural framework to build or extend the computing environment with right sized technology solutions that maximize business processes while minimizing the costs and risks to the client. We developed and continue to support the implementation of business processes for a new operation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) where we have successfully integrated technology into the business layer of the existing architectural framework. 3 Software Development. We follow a systematic approach to developing software. Whether it is a full systems development lifecycle or portions of one, we approach our development tasks with process discipline to ensure tasks are defined, objectives established and progress measured. We developed a Human Resource PeopleSoft-based solution for the DHS to manage the entry and exit of personnel. We developed a software application called SmartForms and have converted standard paper forms to electronic forms to greatly enhance the processing of personnel actions. We also created software to automate routine functions performed under a Network Services contract to enhance and speed-up productivity, as well as reduce the client's operating expenses. Network Solutions. We operate one of the nation's largest wide area networks for a major establishment of the U.S. government. We provide this support under a subcontract we entered into in 2004 with a large systems integrator. Referred to as Advanced Server Management, our team of server experts supports approximately 2,000 servers and some 140,000 client stations from two large data centers in Maryland and Colorado. Operating around the clock, we consistently exceed the requirements of our service level agreements. Systems Engineering. We provide critical systems engineering support to the Advanced Server Management Program and on projects for the DHS. Our engineers design and build systems supporting a mix of business activities. We both manage and execute engineering projects supporting complex wide area networks and local area networks in Windows and UNIX environments, and we provided engineering support for a nationwide wireless operation. Our engineers follow proven methodologies to transition systems from concept to operations. Program Management. Our program managers are subject matter experts who are especially skilled in managing complex programs dealing with leading edge technologies. Our engagements span a broad range of tasks such as feasibility studies, concept and strategy planning, business process development and reengineering, and project execution. Our staff has a thorough understanding of the technical basis for management and therefore provides clients with expertise connecting technical delivery with sound project management using earned value management processes. We have provided program, portfolio and project management, risk management, master scheduling and acquisition management services to the DHS's Wireless Management Office. In fact we supported the creation, deployment and maintenance of the multi-billion dollar Integrated Wireless Network (IWN) program. Portfolio Management. We define, implement, and manage portfolios as an integral part of program management. We have proven experience in establishing portfolios as an effective strategy to assess the overall performance of a program through the projects that the program manages. Using performance measures that are defined for the program, the project portfolio can be better evaluated. In addition to overall program performance management, financial performance is supported through portfolio management by capturing planned and actual investments and their associated business cases. Through the use of industry standard software, such as ProSight, we ensure that the originator of the business case focuses on the accuracy and completeness of program and project information and that the program management office focuses on program management best practices. Project Management. Managing technology-driven projects is a complex process requiring skilled personnel to deliver on the actual work, as well as requiring expert project managers who can plan and execute the work. We have a proven methodology for project management, which includes standards for Earned Value Management that can be applied to any project type. We have created web-based project management environments to integrate the entire process of delivery with project management standards to optimize performance. A Portal provides a mechanism to engage the entire stakeholder community in the delivery process and enable team personnel to plan, perform, measure, and report on delivery. We created a comprehensive project management system and have implemented earned value management-based project management standards for the DHS Wireless Management Office. 4 During 2005, we derived approximately 53% of our revenue from our Advanced Server Management subcontract. During that same period, we derived approximately 12% of our revenue from a prime contract with the DHS. We also entered into several subcontracts under which we provided IT services to various programs and divisions of DHS. These subcontracts provided the balance of our 2005 revenue. In December 2003, we were awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for IT consulting services. Having a GSA Contract allows us to compete for and secure prime contracts with all executive agencies of the U.S. government, as well as other national and international organizations. To date, we have one prime contract under our GSA Contract with annualized revenues of approximately $1 million. We have used the GSA Contract as a basis for pricing our current and proposed work. We intend to continue using our GSA Contract to facilitate the sale of IT consulting services to the U.S. government. In March 2006, one of our subcontracts for services to the U.S. government ended when required additional funds were not approved. We earned approximately $2.2 million or 26% of our revenue from this subcontract in 2005. Due to the nature of certain of our contracts, contract terminations occur when projects are completed or when appropriations of funds are used and new appropriations are not approved. We have submitted proposals and have identified opportunities for other new contracts for 2006 and beyond to replace revenue that does not continue in the ordinary course of business, as well as to increase our revenues. When we experience contract terminations or reductions in customer staffing requirements, we attempt to identify other revenue generating project opportunities with our existing prime contractors or others to redeploy those employees who are no longer providing billable services. In March 2006, in response to the termination of the contract discussed above, we placed several formerly billable employees on unpaid leave, realigned positions of our business development staff, and redirected our selling and marketing activities towards those opportunities that heighten the probability of increased revenues in 2006, while preserving our long term business development initiatives. We are focusing on a Tactical Program that seeks to grow business with existing clients and a Strategic Program that aligns us with major procurement activity for long term growth. We are actively pursuing opportunities to develop additional revenues in new and existing target markets. In March 2006 we opened a regional office in Jackson, Mississippi, and hired a new business development employee to pursue state and local government business opportunities within the Gulf Coast region. We also retained a lobbying firm to assist us in that effort. Moreover, we are also channeling energies towards forming alliances with large systems integrators, who are mandated by federal policy to direct defined percentages of their work to small business subcontractors. In addition, we are currently working on proposals for contract awards that we believe will enhance our posture as a government contractor. Early successes in our 2006 initiatives are evident in the preferred relationships we have with earned several large systems integrators and one major product house. In addition, we are a member of one of only seven teams that won the U.S. Army's recent five year, $19.5 billion Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract. Under our agreement with the prime contractor, we are identified as a primary Earned Value Management resource, as well as a provider of network and software services. However, although our future prospects are robust, the lengthy government financing and procurement processes may result in temporary operating losses until revenue increases to support our infrastructure and provides consistent profitability. During 2005, we continued the development of an access control terminal and related software called TouchThru.(TM) TouchThru(TM) is a self-contained terminal enabling physical access control using biometric identification. It incorporates fingerprint matching technology licensed from Ultra-Scan Corporation, a private biometric technology company headquartered in Buffalo, N.Y. TouchThru(TM) is the first biometric product we have developed and in 2006 we plan to market and sell it. We are building demonstration units for potential customers and plan to market and sell TouchThru(TM) in a variety of industries and markets, including the federal, state and local government, health care, travel and general security and access control. 5 We have demonstrated working prototypes of TouchThru(TM) at several trade shows and to potential customers. These preliminary marketing efforts have produced positive feedback and several early stage prospects. We believe these early marketing efforts will provide us with good information that will be used to formulate and implement our marketing strategy. We have trademarked TouchThru(TM), True Identity Access(TM), and True Identity Access Control(TM), phrases which we intend to use in the marketing effort. The U.S. Government Technology Services Market The ongoing transformation of the U.S. government's information systems and communication networks is creating an increase in its demand for IT services. According to INPUT, the leading analyst organization that tracks and reports on contracting and procurement activities of the U.S. federal, state and local governments, U.S. government IT spending that is contracted out is projected to increase by $19.6 billion from $59.2 billion in government fiscal 2005 to $78.8 billion in government fiscal 2010, a compound annual growth rate of approximately 5.9%. We expect that the U.S. government's need for the types of IT services that we provide will continue to grow in the foreseeable future, as a result of the high priority placed by the government on the transformation of its information technology programs. INPUT forecasts that the percentage of IT spending that is contracted out by the U.S. government will reach a high of 86% of total IT spending in government fiscal 2009. We believe the following industry trends will also continue to drive the U.S. government technology services market: o Continued focus on mission-critical initiatives. Since the events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. government has made the transformation of its information technology infrastructure a major priority. According to INPUT, the U.S. government IT services "commercial" segment, which is comprised of outsourcing, professional services, consulting, training, systems integration and processing services, is projected to grow from $25.1 billion in government fiscal 2004 to $35.3 billion in government fiscal 2009, representing a projected compounded annual growth rate of 7.1%. o Increased Federal Government reliance on outsourcing. According to INPUT, outsourcing through the use of outside providers to provide U.S. government services is projected to grow from $11.7 billion in government fiscal 2004 to $17.4 billion in government fiscal 2009, representing a projected compounded annual growth rate of 8.3%. We believe that the U.S. government is increasingly turning to the information technology industry to execute support processes and functions that were traditionally performed by government employees. According to INPUT, the size of the U.S. government workforce, which includes only civilian employees and non-uniform military personnel in federal civilian agencies and the Department of Defense, decreased by 1.1 million workers during the period 1990 through 2000, representing a 22% decline. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) has warned of further attrition due to retirement of U.S. government workers during the period 2003 through 2006. We believe that homeland security will have the greatest impact on three specific segments of the U.S. government IT market: information security, communications and knowledge management. We believe that the rapid pace of technological innovations and the U.S. government's increasing reliance on complex IT infrastructure, combined with a decline in the size of the U.S. government workforce, as described above, make it increasingly difficult for many governmental agencies to operate and upgrade their information technology systems. We expect that several trends will contribute to the U.S. government's increased use of service providers to fulfill a larger portion of its IT responsibilities, and we believe that we will continue to gain new engagements to the extent that the government increases its reliance on outsourcing for its IT needs. These trends include: 6 o The aging of the U.S. government's workforce. According to INPUT, the U.S. government has estimated that more than 30% of current members of the government workforce, as described above, in supervisory positions will be eligible for retirement by 2007, and the average age of government employees increased from 42 years of age in 1990 to 46 years of age in 2004. In April 2001, the GAO concluded in a report that the U.S. government's human capital challenges were adversely affecting the ability of many agencies to carry out their missions. The GAO reiterated this conclusion in its January 2003 updated Report. o Increased U.S. Government emphasis on competitive sourcing. The current administration has made competitive sourcing a major initiative of its management agenda. According to the President's Management Agenda, which was issued in 2001 and for which progress reports continue to be issued, nearly half of all U.S. government employees perform tasks that are available in the commercial marketplace. To the extent that the size of the U.S. government workforce decreases, we believe that the government will have an increased need for entities that offer the technical skills, familiarity with government processes and procedures and skilled personnel that are necessary to meet the diverse information technology requirements of the various U.S. government agencies. Increased Spending on Homeland Security In the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, there has been an increased emphasis on homeland security, including protecting critical infrastructure. According to INPUT, the total addressable information technology budget for the DHS is projected to grow from $3.8 billion in government fiscal 2004 to $5.9 billion in government fiscal 2009, representing a compound annual growth rate of 9.9%. The Laser Group and Photonics Group In 2003 we decided to eliminate our Laser Group and our Photonics Group. On December 31, 2003, we sold certain assets and liabilities of LF to LFI, Inc. (LFI). These assets related to the laser engraving and medical products manufacturing and assembly businesses of the Laser Group. The principals of LFI are former employees of our Laser Group, including Mr. Brockmyre, our former chairman and chief executive officer. The purchase price for the assets consisted of LFI's assumption of certain of our liabilities in the aggregate amount of approximately $358,000. On December 31, 2004, we sold the remaining assets of LF to Rolben Acquisition Corporation, a company affiliated with LFI, and recognized a loss on disposition of approximately $224,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. The purchase price for the remaining assets consisted of Rolben's assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of LF and the delivery of promissory notes in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.1 million. Because certain required consents were not yet obtained, we remained obligated under several notes to UPS Capital Business Credit (UPS) and the Rhode Island Industrial Facilities Corporation (RIIFC) in the same amounts as the notes from Rolben. In May 2005, the UPS and RIIFC notes were paid in full and we were released from all of our obligations thereunder. At the same time, the notes from Rolben to us terminated. During 2003 and 2004, we continued to operate the LF business during the disposal process. We also decided to shut down our Photonics Group. Without the government funding provided by our DARPA contract, we decided that we could not raise the funds necessary to successfully commercialize our laser diode technology in the foreseeable future. 7 Recent Capital Raising Activities At various times during 2005, we issued or authorized for issuance restricted shares of common stock in private transactions as follows: Shares Issued Average Price or Issuable Consideration Per Share ----------- ------------- ------------- Shares issued: In financing transactions with related party 1,600,000 $ 80,000 $ 0.05 As satisfaction of liabilities 45,000 2,250 $ 0.05 Upon conversion of note payable to related party 500,000 25,000 $ 0.05 For consulting services 149,916 40,800 $ 0.27 ----------------------------- 2,294,916 $ 148,050 Shares authorized, not issued: For consulting services 150,084 48,528 $ 0.32 Per settlement agreement with former employee 25,000 7,500 $ 0.30 ----------------------------- 2,470,000 $ 204,078 ============================= During 2005, a stockholder made various loans to us which totaled $185,000 at December 31, 2005. These loans are evidenced by a secured promissory note bearing interest at 12% per annum. The principal is due on January 1, 2008 and interest is payable monthly. During 2005, the terms of convertible promissory notes issued in prior years to related parties were revised. The maturity dates were extended to January 1, 2016 with principal and accrued interest secured by our assets and convertible at the option of the holder any time after that date which is 60 days following the approval of our stockholders, authorizes a sufficient number of shares of common stock to permit such conversion into shares of common stock at $.05 per share subject to the following limitations. The shares of common stock issuable upon the proposed conversion may not result in a change in control which would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards; provided, however, if we close a transaction with another third party or parties that results in a change of control which will limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards, then the change of control provisions are no longer be in effect. The interest rates were revised to 8% at January 1, 2006 and thereafter the rate will be adjusted annually to prime plus one and one quarter percent. If the principal and accrued interest amounts of all of the convertible notes were converted as of December 31, 2005, we would issue a total of 18,258,020 shares to these two note holders. We issued several short-term promissory notes, which are not convertible, to another individual in the aggregate amount of $265,000 bearing interest at 12% per annum. The maturity date of these promissory notes was extended to January 2008 and require monthly payments of interest only. Our new business strategy described above, as well as the various capital raising activities we engaged in during the past several years, have allowed us to continue operations while we build our new business. We believe, but can offer no assurances, that our current operations, as restructured, coupled with our demonstrated ability to raise capital, will provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations through 2006. We have a line of credit of up to $800,000 with a finance company that enables us to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the finance company with full recourse against us. This line provides working capital to finance our current operations. 8 Competition We compete mainly with other IT professional services firms operating in the federal, state and local government marketplace. We have entered into subcontracts with systems integrators holding multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts with the U.S. government. In such cases, our competition is mainly with other IT services companies classified as small business entities by government standards. For prime contracts with the U.S. government, we anticipate that our competition will range from small business set aside contractors to full and open competition with large firms such as Northrop Grumman Information Technologies, Science Applications International Corp., EDS Corp., Computer Sciences Corp., Unisys, SRA International and SI International, Inc. We also compete with a significant number of established and startup companies that have developed or are developing and marketing software and hardware for fingerprint biometric access control and security applications. Some of these companies have developed or are developing and marketing semiconductor or optically based direct contact fingerprint image capture devices, or retinal blood vessel, iris pattern, hand geometry, voice or facial structure solutions. Our fingerprint scanning product, TouchThru(TM), faces intense competition from a number of competitors who are actively engaged in developing and marketing fingerprint and hand-recognition products, including Recognition Systems, Inc. (a company owned by Ingersoll Rand, Inc.), Identix, Incorporated, Cogent, Inc., Heimann Biometric Systems GmbH, Sagem Morpho, Inc., Printrak International, Inc., (a company owned by Motorola, Inc.), Cogent, Inc. and CrossMatch Technologies, Inc. In addition, we will face competition from non-biometric technologies such as certificate authorities, and traditional key, card, surveillance systems and passwords. The biometric security market is a rapidly evolving and intensely competitive market, and we believe that additional competitors will enter the market and become significant long-term competitors. At December 31 2005, we have built sales demonstration units of our primary biometric product, TouchThru(TM). However, we have not earned any revenues from the sale of that product nor do we have a backlog of orders. Our competitors in general have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, manufacturing capabilities, sales and marketing resources, facilities and experience than we do. Patents and Intellectual Property In 2003 we acquired certain non-exclusive rights to use intellectual property owned by Ultra-Scan Corporation under a license agreement with a term of three-years. Ultra-Scan's intellectual property covers ultrasonic (acoustic imaging) biometric identification systems and fingerprint matching algorithms and related software. In 2004, we acquired trademarks for TouchThru(TM), True Identity Access(TM) and True Identity Access Control(TM). Employees As of December 31, 2005, we had a total of 71 full-time employees, including 58 in information technology services, two in executive management, one in engineering and product development, three in finance and administration and seven in marketing and sales. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and we believe that our relations with our employees are good. We believe that we are currently staffed at an appropriate level to implement and carry out our business plan for the next 12 months. Our ability to develop, manufacture and market our products and services, and to establish and maintain a competitive position in our businesses will depend, in large part, upon our ability to attract and retain qualified technical, marketing and managerial personnel, of which there can be no assurance. 9 Risk Factors In addition to the other information provided in our reports, you should consider the following factors carefully in evaluating our business and us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or that are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, such as competitive conditions, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Risks Related to Information Technology Consulting We depend on subcontracts with the U.S. government for most of our revenue, and our business would be seriously harmed if the government ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us. We derived approximately 88% of our total revenue from continuing operations in 2005 from U.S. government contracts as a subcontractor. We expect that we will continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future from work performed under U.S. government contracts, as we have in the past, and from new marketing efforts focused on state and local governments. If we were suspended or prohibited from contracting with federal, state or local governments, or if our reputation or relationship with the federal, state or local governments were impaired, or if any of the foregoing otherwise ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected. Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the U.S. government. Because we derive a significant portion of our revenue from subcontracts with the U.S. government, we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in U.S. government contract programs. Changes in U.S. government budgetary priorities could directly affect our financial performance. A significant decline in government expenditures, a shift of expenditures away from programs which call for the types of services that we provide or a change in U.S. government contracting policies, could cause U.S. governmental agencies to reduce their expenditures under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty, not to exercise options to renew contracts or to delay or not enter into new contracts. Any of those actions could seriously harm our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. Moreover, although our contracts with governmental agencies often contemplate that our services will be performed over a period of several years, Congress usually must approve funds for a given program each government fiscal year and may significantly reduce or eliminate funding for a program. Significant reductions in these appropriations by Congress could have a material adverse effect on our business. Additional factors that could have a serious adverse effect on our U.S. government contracting business include: o changes in U.S. government programs or requirements; o budgetary priorities limiting or delaying U.S. government spending generally, or by specific departments or agencies in particular, and changes in fiscal policies or available funding, including potential governmental shutdowns; o reduction in the U.S. government's use of technology solutions firms; and o an increase in the number of contracts reserved for small businesses, or small business set asides, which could result in our inability to compete directly for these prime contracts. 10 Our profitability will suffer if we are not able to maintain our pricing and utilization rates and control our costs. Our profit margin, and therefore our profitability, is largely a function of the rates we charge for our IT Services and the utilization rate, or chargeability, of our employees. Accordingly, if we are not able to maintain the rates we charge for our services or an appropriate utilization rate for our employees, we will not be able to sustain our profit margin and our profitability will suffer. The rates we charge for our IT Services are affected by a number of factors, including: o our clients' perception of our ability to add value through our services; o competition; o introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors; o pricing policies of our competitors; and o general economic conditions. Our utilization rates are also affected by a number of factors, including: o seasonal trends, primarily as a result of holidays, vacations, and slow downs by our clients, which may have a more significant effect in the fourth quarter; o our ability to transition employees from completed engagements to new engagements; o our ability to forecast demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriately balanced and sized workforce; and o our ability to manage employee turnover. We have implemented cost-management programs to manage our costs, including personnel costs, support and other overhead costs. Some of our costs, like office rents, are fixed in the short term, which limits our ability to reduce costs in periods of declining revenues. Our current and future cost-management initiatives may not be sufficient to maintain our margins as our level of revenue varies. If our clients are not satisfied with our services, our ability to compete for future work and our financial condition may be adversely affected. If we fail to meet our contractual obligations, we could be subject to legal liability, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The provisions we typically include in our contracts which are designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our services and the applications we develop may not protect us or may not be enforceable under some circumstances or under the laws of some jurisdictions. It is possible, because of the nature of our business, that we may be exposed to legal claims in the future. Currently we do not maintain professional liability insurance. In the event we secure such coverage, the policy limits may not be adequate to provide protection against all potential liabilities. As a consulting firm, we depend to a large extent on our relationships with our clients and our reputation for high-quality services to retain and attract clients and employees. As a result, claims made against our work may damage our reputation, which in turn, could impact our ability to compete for new business. Our contracts can be terminated by our clients with short notice. Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive, engagement-by-engagement basis. Although they may be subject to penalty provisions, clients may generally cancel a contract at any time. In addition, clients typically may reduce their use of our services under such contract without penalty. If any significant client terminates its relationship with us or substantially decreases its use of our services, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. When contracts are terminated, we lose the associated revenue and we may not be able to eliminate associated costs in a timely manner. In addition, contracts with the U.S. government contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that provide the U.S. government with rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts. Among other things, the U.S. government may terminate contracts, with short notice, for convenience and may cancel multi-year contracts if funds become unavailable. 11 Unfavorable government audits could require us to refund payments we have received, to forego anticipated revenue and could subject us to penalties and sanctions. The government agencies we work for generally have the authority to audit and review our contracts with them and/or subcontracts with prime contractors. As part of that process, the government agency reviews our performance on the contract, our pricing practices, our cost structure and our compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. If the audit agency determines that we have improperly received reimbursement, we would be required to refund any such amount. If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities by us or we otherwise determine that these activities have occurred, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or disqualification from doing business with the government. Any such unfavorable determination could adversely impact our ability to bid for new work. The IT services industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively. We operate in a highly competitive industry that includes a large number of participants. We believe that we currently compete principally with other IT professional services firms, technology vendors and the internal information systems groups of our clients. Many of the companies that provide services in our markets have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Our marketplace is experiencing rapid changes in its competitive landscape. Some of our competitors have sought access to public and private capital and others have merged or consolidated with better-capitalized partners. These changes may create more or larger and better-capitalized competitors with enhanced abilities to compete for market share generally and our clients specifically, in some cases, through significant economic incentives to clients to secure contracts. These competitors may also be better able to compete for skilled professionals by offering them large compensation incentives. In addition, one or more of our competitors may develop and implement methodologies that result in superior productivity and price reductions without adversely affecting the competitors' profit margins. In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry into our markets and we have faced, and expect to continue to face, competition from new entrants into our markets. As a result, we may be unable to continue to compete successfully with our existing or any new future competitors. Our future success depends on our ability to continue to retain and attract qualified employees. We believe that our future success depends upon our ability to continue to train, retain, effectively manage and attract highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Employee turnover is generally high in IT services industry. If our efforts in these areas are not successful, our costs may increase, our sales efforts may be hindered, and or our customer service may degrade. Although we invest significant resources in recruiting and retaining employees, there is often significant competition for certain personnel in the IT services industry. From time to time, we experience difficulties in locating enough highly qualified candidates in desired geographic locations, or with required specific expertise. Our contracts with the U.S. government may be terminated or adversely modified prior to completion, which could adversely affect our business. U.S. government contracts generally contain provisions, and are subject to laws and regulations, that give the U.S. government rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts, including provisions permitting the U.S. government to: 12 o terminate our existing contracts; o reduce potential future income from our existing contracts; o modify some of the terms and conditions in our existing contracts; o suspend or permanently prohibit us from doing business with the U.S. government or with any specific government agency; o impose fines and penalties; o subject us to criminal prosecution; o subject the award of some contracts to protest or challenge by competitors, which may require the contracting U.S. agency or department to suspend our performance pending the outcome of the protest or challenge and which may also require the government to solicit new bids for the contract or result in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract; o suspend work under existing multiple year contracts and related task orders if the necessary funds are not appropriated by Congress; o decline to exercise an option to extend an existing multiple year contract; and o claim rights in technologies and systems invented, developed or produced by us. The U.S. government may terminate a contract with us either "for convenience" (for instance, due to a change in its perceived needs or its desire to consolidate work under another contract) or if we default by failing to perform under the contract. If the U.S. government terminates a contract with us for convenience, we generally would be entitled to recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on the work completed prior to termination. If the U.S. government terminates a contract with us based upon our default, we generally would be denied any recovery for undelivered work, and instead may be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in procuring undelivered items from an alternative source. We may in the future receive show-cause or cure notices under contracts that, if not addressed to the U.S. government's satisfaction, could give the government the right to terminate those contracts for default or to cease procuring our services under those contracts. Our U.S. government contracts typically have terms of one or more base years and one or more option years. Many of the option periods cover more than half of the contract's potential term. U.S. governmental agencies generally have the right not to exercise options to extend a contract. A decision to terminate or not to exercise options to extend our existing contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Certain of our U.S. government contracts also contain "organizational conflict of interest" clauses that could limit our ability to compete for certain related follow-on contracts. For example, when we work on the design of a particular solution, we may be precluded from competing for the contract to install that solution. While we actively monitor our contracts to avoid these conflicts, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid all organizational conflict of interest issues. 13 In addition, U.S. government contracts are frequently awarded only after formal competitive bidding processes, which have been and may continue to be protracted, and typically impose provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds are unavailable to the public agency. There is a risk that we may not be awarded any of the competitive bidding processes, which have been and may continue to be protracted, and typically impose provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds are unavailable to the public agency. In some cases, unsuccessful bidders for public agency contracts are provided the opportunity to formally protest certain contract awards through various agencies, administrative and judicial channels. The protest process may delay a successful bidder's contract performance for a number of weeks, months or more, or cancel the contract award entirely. Although we have not previously experienced a substantial number of contract delays or cancellations due to protest initiated by losing bidders, there is a risk that we may not be awarded contracts for which we bid or, if awarded, that substantial delays or cancellation of purchases may follow as a result of such protests. The competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following: o we expend substantial funds, managerial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that we may not win; o we may be unable to estimate accurately the resources and cost that will be required to service any contract we win, which could result in substantial cost overruns; and o we may encounter expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or challenge could result in a requirement to resubmit bids on modified specifications or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract. If we fail to establish and maintain important relationships with government entities and agencies, our ability to successfully bid for new business may be adversely affected. To develop new business opportunities, we primarily rely on establishing and maintaining relationships with various government entities and agencies. We may be unable to successfully maintain our relationships with government entities and agencies, and any failure to do so could materially adversely affect our ability to compete successfully for new business. Our business may suffer if our facilities or our employees are unable to obtain or retain the security clearances or other qualifications needed to perform services for our clients. Many of our U.S. government contracts require employees and facilities used in specific engagements to hold security clearances and to clear National Agency Checks and Defense Security Service checks. Some of our contracts require us to employ personnel with specified levels of education, work experience and security clearances. Depending on the level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If our employees or our facilities lose or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances or successfully clear necessary National Agency or Defense Security Service checks, we may not be able to win new business and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them, and in each instance our operating results could be materially adversely affected. We must comply with a variety of laws, regulations and procedures and our failure to comply could harm our operating results. We must observe laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. government contracts which affect how we do business with our clients and impose added costs on our business. For example, the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the industrial security regulations of the Department of Defense and related laws include provisions that: 14 o allow our U.S. government clients to terminate or not renew our contracts if we come under foreign ownership, control or influence; o require us to disclose and certify cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations; o require us to prevent unauthorized access to classified information; and o require us to comply with laws and regulations intended to promote various social or economic goals. We are subject to industrial security regulations of the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies that are designed to safeguard against foreigners' access to classified information. If we were to come under foreign ownership, control or influence, we could lose our facility security clearances, which could result in our U.S. government customers terminating or deciding not to renew our contracts, and could impair our ability to obtain new contracts. In addition, our employees often must comply with procedures required by the specific agency for which work is being performed, such as time recordation or prohibition on removal of materials from a location. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or procedures, including federal procurement regulations and regulations regarding the protection of classified information, could result in contract termination, loss of security clearances, suspension or prohibition from contracting with the U.S. government, civil fines and damages and criminal prosecution and penalties, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. The U.S. government may revise its procurement or other practices in a manner adverse to us. The U.S. government may revise its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, such as cost accounting standards. It could also adopt new contracting methods relating to GSA contracts, government-wide contracts, or adopt new standards for contract awards intended to achieve certain social or other policy objectives, such as establishing new set-aside programs for small or minority-owned businesses. In addition, the U.S. government may face restrictions from new legislation or regulations, as well as pressure from government employees and their unions, on the nature and amount of services the U.S. government may obtain from private contractors. These changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or contracts under which we currently perform when those contracts are put up for recompetition bids. Any new contracting methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement, and, as a result, could harm our operating results. For example, the Truthfulness, Responsibility and Accountability in Contracting Act, proposed in 2001, would have limited and severely delayed the U.S. government's ability to use private service contractors. Although this proposal was not enacted, it or similar legislation could be proposed at any time. Any reduction in the U.S. government's use of private contractors to provide federal information technology services could materially adversely impact our business. Failure to maintain strong relationships with other government contractors could result in a decline in our revenue. We derived approximately 88% of our total revenue in 2005 from contracts under which we acted as a subcontractor. As a subcontractor, we often lack control over fulfillment of a contract, and poor performance on the contract by others could tarnish our reputation, even when we perform as required. We expect to continue to depend on relationships with other contractors for a portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our revenue and operating results could be materially adversely affected if any prime contractor chooses to offer services of the type that we provide or if any prime contractor teams with other companies to independently provide those services. 15 Risks Related to Biometrics Our biometrics business will not grow unless the market for biometric solutions expands both domestically and internationally. Our product revenues and a portion of our service revenues will be derived from the sale of biometric products and services. Biometric solutions have not yet gained widespread commercial acceptance. We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate, if any, or the ultimate size of the biometric technology market. The expansion of the market for our products and services depends on a number of factors including without limitation: o the cost, performance and reliability of our products and services and the products and services of competitors; o customers' perception of the perceived benefit of biometric solutions; o public perceptions of the intrusiveness of these solutions and the manner in which firms are using the information collected; o public perceptions regarding the confidentiality of private information; o proposed or enacted legislation related to privacy of information; o customers' satisfaction with our products and services; and o marketing efforts and publicity regarding these products and services. Certain groups have publicly objected to the use of biometric products for some applications on civil liberties grounds and legislation has been proposed to regulate the use of biometric security products. From time to time, biometrics technologies have been the focus of organizations and individuals seeking to curtail or eliminate such technologies on the grounds that they may be used to diminish personal privacy rights. If such initiatives result in restrictive legislation, the market for biometric solutions may be adversely affected. Even if biometric solutions gain wide market acceptance, our products and services may not adequately address the requirements of the market and may not gain market acceptance. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have increased financial expectations that may not materialize. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks may have created an increase in awareness for biometric security solutions generally. However, it is uncertain whether the actual level of demand for our biometric products and services will grow as a result of such increased awareness. Increased demand may not result in an actual increase in our product or services revenues. In addition, it is uncertain which security solutions, if any, will be adopted as a result of the terrorism and whether our products will be a part of those solutions. Efforts in the war against terrorism or the war with Iraq may actually delay funding for the implementation of biometric solutions generally. Even if our products are considered or adopted as solutions to the terrorism, the level and timeliness of available funding are unclear. These factors may adversely impact us and create unpredictability in revenues and operating results. The biometrics industry is characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, which could render existing products obsolete. Our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce a variety of new products and services and enhancements to these new product and services in order to address the changing and sophisticated needs of the marketplace. Frequently, technical development programs in the biometric industry require assessments to be made of the future directions of technology and technology markets generally, which are inherently risky and difficult to predict. Delays in introducing new products, services and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products and services at competitive prices may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and services and purchase those of our competitors. 16 Continued participation by us in the market for fingerprint identification systems that are linked to forensic quality databases under the jurisdiction of governmental agencies may require the investment of our resources in upgrading our products and technology for us to compete and to meet regulatory and statutory standards. We may not have adequate resources available to us or may not adequately keep pace with appropriate requirements in order to effectively compete in the marketplace. Our lengthy and variable sales cycle will make it difficult to predict operating results. Certain of our products often have a lengthy sales cycle while the customer evaluates and receives approvals for purchase. If, after expending significant funds and effort, we fail to receive an order, a negative impact on our financial results and stock price could result. It is difficult to predict accurately the sales cycle of any large order for any of our products. If we do not ship and or install one or more large orders as forecast for a fiscal quarter, our total revenues and operating results for that quarter could be materially and adversely affected. The substantial lead-time required for ordering parts and materials may lead to excess or insufficient inventory. The lead-time for ordering parts and materials and building our products can be many months. As a result, we must order parts and materials and build our products based on forecasted demand. If demand for our products lags significantly behind our forecasts, we may produce more products than we can sell, which can result in cash flow problems and write-offs or write-downs of obsolete inventory. Loss of sole or limited source suppliers may result in delays or additional expenses. We obtain certain components and complete products from a single source or a limited group of suppliers. With the exception of Ultra-Scan Corporation, from whom we obtain the ultra-sound based fingerprint scanner, we do not have long-term agreements with any of our suppliers. We will experience significant delays in manufacturing and shipping of products to customers if we lose these sources or if supplies from these sources are delayed. As a result, we may be required to incur additional development, manufacturing and other costs to establish alternative sources of supply. It may take several months to locate alternative suppliers, if required, or to re-tool our products to accommodate components from different suppliers. We cannot predict if we will be able to obtain replacement components within the time frames we require at an affordable cost, or at all. Any delays resulting from suppliers failing to deliver components or products on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and of sufficient quality or any significant increase in the price of components from existing or alternative suppliers could have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price. We may be subject to loss in market share and market acceptance as a result of manufacturing errors, delays or shortages. Performance failure in our products or certain of our services may cause loss of market share, delay in or loss of market acceptance, additional warranty expense or product recall, or other contractual liabilities. The complexity of certain of our fingerprint readers makes the manufacturing and assembly process of such products, especially in volume, complex. This may in turn lead to delays or shortages in the availability of certain products, or, in some cases, the unavailability of certain products. The negative effects of any delay or failure could be exacerbated if the delay or failure occurs in products or services that provide personal security, secure sensitive computer data, authorize significant financial transactions or perform other functions where a security breach could have significant consequences. 17 If a product or service launch is delayed or is the subject of an availability shortage because of problems with our ability to manufacture or assemble the product or service successfully on a timely basis, or if a product or service otherwise fails to meet performance criteria, we may lose revenue opportunities entirely and/or experience delays in revenue recognition associated with a product or service in addition to incurring higher operating expenses during the period required to correct the defects. There is a risk that for unforeseen reasons we may be required to repair or replace a substantial number of products in use or to reimburse customers for products that fail to work or meet strict performance criteria. We carry product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate to cover potential claims. We may be subject to repair, replacement, reimbursement and liability claims as a result of products that fail to work or to meet applicable performance criteria. There is a risk that for unforeseen reasons we may be required to repair or replace a substantial number of products in use or to reimburse customers for products that fail to work or meet strict performance criteria. We attempt to limit remedies for product or service failure to the repair or replacement of malfunctioning or noncompliant products or services, and also attempt to exclude or minimize exposure to product and related liabilities by including in our standard agreements warranty disclaimers and disclaimers for consequential and related damages as well as limitations on our aggregate liability. From time to time, in certain complex sale or licensing transactions, we may negotiate liability provisions that vary from such standard forms. There is a risk that our contractual provisions may not adequately minimize our product and related liabilities or that such provisions may be unenforceable. We carry product liability insurance, but existing coverage may not be adequate to cover potential claims. We will maintain warranty reserves as deemed adequate by management. Our TouchThru(TM) access control device is at an early stage of development and may not achieve market acceptance. One of our primary focuses is the development of our TouchThru(TM) biometric access control device. Many of the benefits of automated finger-print readers in general, and ultra-sound based systems in particular, are not widely known. Therefore, we anticipate that we will need to educate our target markets to generate demand for our products and services and, as a result of market feedback; we may be required to further refine these services. In order to persuade potential customers to purchase our product and services, we will need to overcome industry resistance to, and suspicion of new technologies. We cannot assure you that our TouchThru(TM) access control system will be successfully developed, marketed or produced. We face intense competition from other biometric solution providers as well as identification and security systems providers. A significant number of established and startup companies have developed or are developing and marketing software and hardware for fingerprint biometric security applications that currently compete or will compete directly with our current fingerprint security and identity related line of products and applications. Some of these companies have developed or are developing and marketing semiconductor or optically based direct contact fingerprint image capture devices, or retinal blood vessel, iris pattern, hand geometry, voice or facial structure solutions. If one or more of these technologies or approaches were widely adopted, it could significantly reduce the potential market for our products. Our security and identity related products and applications also compete with non-biometric technologies such as certificate authorities, and traditional key, card, surveillance systems and passwords. Many competitors offering products that are competitive with our security and identity related line of products and applications have significantly more financial and other resources than we have. The biometric security market is a rapidly evolving and intensely competitive market, and we believe that additional competitors will enter the market and become significant long-term competitors. 18 Our fingerprint scanning product, TouchThru(TM), faces intense competition from a number of competitors who are actively engaged in developing and marketing fingerprint and hand-recognition products, including Recognition Systems, Inc. (a company owned by Ingersoll Rand, Inc.), Identix, Incorporated, Heimann Biometric Systems GmbH, Sagem Morpho, Inc., Printrak International, Inc., (a company owned by Motorola, Inc.), Cogent, Inc. and CrossMatch Technologies, Inc. We expect competition to increase and intensify in the near term in the biometrics markets. Companies competing with us may introduce products that are competitively priced, that have increased performance or functionality or that incorporate technological advances not yet developed or implemented by us. Some present and potential competitors have financial, marketing, research, and manufacturing resources substantially greater than ours. In order to compete effectively in this environment, we must continually develop and market new and enhanced products at competitive prices and must have the resources available to invest in significant research and development activities. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial results and stock price. Failure to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, intellectual property and manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price and on our ability to compete effectively. Ultra-Scan Corporation, our licensor of the fingerprint scanning technology principally relies upon patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and contract law to establish and protect its proprietary rights. There is a risk that claims allowed on any patents or trademarks it holds may not be broad enough to protect its technology. In addition, Ultra-Scan's patents or trademarks may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and we cannot be certain that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to us. Moreover, any current or future issued or licensed patents, or trademarks, or currently existing or future developed trade secrets or know-how may not afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technologies or processes, and the possibility exists that certain of Ultra-Scan's already issued patents or trademarks may infringe upon third party patents or trademarks or be designed around by others. In addition, there is a risk that others may independently develop proprietary technologies and processes, which are the same as, substantially equivalent or superior to ours, or become available in the market at a lower price. We have capitalized software development and tooling costs related to our TouchThru(TM) product which may require a write down of their carrying values if our proprietary rights are not protected. If at any time, the estimated future gross revenues from the product less costs to complete do not exceeds the carrying values, the assets will be written down. There is a risk that we have infringed or in the future will infringe patents or trademarks owned by others, that we will need to acquire licenses under patents or trademarks belonging to others for technology potentially useful or necessary to us, and that licenses will not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. Ultra-Scan may have to litigate to enforce its patents or trademarks or to determine the scope and validity of other parties' proprietary rights. An adverse outcome in any litigation may have a severe negative impact on our financial results and stock price. 19 Risks Related to our Business We experienced an operating loss in 2005. Our historical operations have not been profitable until 2004 and we earned an operating loss of approximately $4,000 and net income of approximately $34,000 in 2005. As of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $28.7 million. Although we began to operate the IT business profitably beginning in the second quarter of 2004, and our IT business was profitable in 2004, we decided to increase our expenses for marketing and selling efforts in 2005. As a result of these decisions we generated an operating loss in 2005 and until we close new contracts and earn revenues or curtail our marketing and selling efforts, we cannot assure you when we will be profitable on a consistent basis. We are highly leveraged, which increases our operating deficit and makes it difficult for us to grow. At December 31, 2005, we had current liabilities, including trade payables, of approximately $974,000 and long-term liabilities of $3.7 million. We had working capital of approximately $90,000 and a current ratio of 1.09. Our objective is to improve our working capital position from profitable operations. We may experience working capital shortages that impair our business operations and growth strategy if we incur operating losses or net losses and as a result, our business, operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected. We have significant liabilities related to the O&W pension plan. At December 31, 2005, the O&W defined benefit pension plan had an accrued pension obligation liability of $2,405,612 and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3,046,855 which we recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The market value of plan assets decreased from $3,510,324 at December 31, 2004 to $3,315,524 at December 31, 2005. The decrease was comprised of payment of benefits of $413,193 and expenses paid of $90,964, which were offset in part by an investment return of $127,918 and contributions of $181,439. The benefit obligation increased during 2005 by $33,525 to $5,721,136 at December 31, 2005 as a result of benefits paid of $413,193 which were offset by an actuarial loss of $131,358, and interest cost of $315,360. We were required to contribute amounts in 2004 and 2005 and are required to make contributions in future years to fund the deficiency. We did not make a contribution in 2004. During 2005, we made contributions of $6,439 and 500,000 shares of our common stock, which were valued on the contribution date at $175,000 using the closing market price. We currently do not have the funds available to make required contributions which currently approximate $1.4 million. We recorded defined benefit pension expense of approximately $161,000 in 2004 and $119,000 in 2005. We have been dependent on a limited number of high net worth individuals to fund our working capital needs. From 2003 through 2005, we raised approximately $1.9 million in a combination of equity, debt conversion and debt transactions from a limited number of high net worth investors. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to continue to raise additional capital from this group of investors, or that we will be able to secure funding from additional sources. Certain debt holders have agreed to extensions of the maturity dates of their notes, most recently to January 2008. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain further extensions of maturity dates or that we will be able to repay or otherwise refinance the notes at their scheduled maturities. 20 We will require additional financing in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms. We will require additional funds to continue our development of TouchThru(TM) and for working capital and general corporate purposes. We cannot provide assurance that adequate additional financing will be available or, if available, will be offered on acceptable terms. Moreover, our IT Services billings generate accounts receivable that are generally paid within 30 to 60 days from the invoice date. The cost of those sales generally consists of employee salaries and benefits that we must pay prior to our receipt of the accounts receivable to which these costs relate. We therefore need sufficient cash resources to cover such employee-related costs which, in many cases, require us to borrow funds on disadvantageous terms. We have secured an accounts receivable financing line of credit in the amount of $800,000 from an independent finance organization that provides us with the cash needed to cover such employee-related costs. As we grow, additional working capital will be required to support this difference in the timing of cash receipts versus payroll disbursements. Finally, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financings, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that further limit our ability to make decisions that we believe will be in our best interests. In the event we cannot obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us when required, our operations will be materially adversely affected and we may have to cease or substantially reduce operations. If we do not successfully integrate the businesses that we acquire, our results of operations could be adversely affected. We may grow our business by acquiring companies and businesses that we feel have synergy and will complement our business plan. We regularly evaluate potential business combinations and pursue attractive transactions. We may be unable to profitably manage businesses that we may acquire or we may fail to integrate them successfully without incurring substantial expenses, delays or other problems that could negatively impact our results of operations. Acquisitions involve additional risks, including: o diversion of management's attention; o difficulty in integration of the acquired business; o loss of significant clients acquired; o loss of key management and technical personnel acquired; o assumption of unanticipated legal or other financial liabilities; o becoming significantly leveraged as a result of debt incurred to finance acquisitions; o unanticipated operating, accounting or management difficulties in connection with the acquired entities; o costs of our personnel's time, travel, legal services and accounting services in connection with a proposed acquisition; that may not be recovered; o impairment charges for acquired intangible assets, including goodwill that decline in value; and o dilution to our earnings per share as a result of issuing shares of our stock to finance acquisitions. Also, client dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired firm could materially and adversely affect our reputation as a whole. Further, the acquired businesses may not achieve the revenue and earnings we anticipated. We will continue to evaluate from time to time, on a selective basis, other strategic acquisitions if we believe they will help us obtain well-trained, high-quality employees, new product or service offerings, additional industry expertise, a broader client base or an expanded geographic presence. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying candidates or consummating acquisitions on terms that are acceptable or favorable to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that financing for acquisitions will be available on terms that are acceptable or favorable. We may issue shares of our common stock as part of the purchase price for some or all of these acquisitions. Future issuances of our common stock in connection with acquisitions also may dilute our earnings per share. 21 If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative impact on our financial results or stock price. Our management believes that in order to be successful we must appropriately manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods, and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. In addition, we will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant reductions or growth effectively. We may have difficulties in managing our growth. Our future growth depends, in part, on our ability to implement and expand our financial control systems and to expand, train and manage our employee base and provide support to an expanded customer base. If we cannot manage growth effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business and financial condition. In addition, acquisitions and expansion involve substantial infrastructure costs and working capital. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to integrate acquisitions, if any, and expansions efficiently. Similarly, we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to expand or that any expansion will enhance our profitability. If we do not achieve sufficient revenue growth to offset increased expenses associated with our expansion, our results will be adversely affected. We depend on the continued services of our key personnel. Our future success depends, in part, on the continuing efforts of our senior executive officers, Michael S. Smith and James M. Frost. The loss of either of these key employees may materially adversely affect our business. At this time we do not have any term "key man" insurance on any of these executives. Risks Related to our Common Stock Six stockholders own a significant portion of our stock and may delay or prevent a change in control or adversely affect the stock price through sales in the open market. As of December 31, 2005, six individuals or their interests owned approximately 24.3%, 5.5%, 5.3%, 2.5%, 2.5%, and 2.5% (42.6% in the aggregate) respectively of our outstanding common stock. In addition, two individuals have the right to convert debt and accrued interest into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. If each party converted all of the principal and accrued interest into common stock, these two individuals would own approximately 29.1% and 18.8%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock. However, the shares of common stock issuable upon the proposed conversions may not result in a change in control which would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards We estimate at December 31, 2005, that up to approximately 11 million shares of common stock, (representing 35.6% of the then outstanding common stock) could be issued as a result of conversion of principal and interest before a change of control would occur that would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards. 22 The concentration of large percentages of ownership in any single stockholder may delay or prevent a change in control. Additionally, the sale of a significant number of our shares in the open market by a single stockholder or otherwise could adversely affect our stock price. Our stock price is volatile and could be further affected by events not within our control. The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and will continue to be subject to: o volatility in the trading markets generally; o significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results; o announcements regarding our business or the business of our competitors; o changes in prices of our or our competitors' products and services; o changes in product mix; and o changes in revenue and revenue growth rates for us as a whole or for geographic areas, and other events or factors. Statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which we operate or expect to operate could also have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market as a whole has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have particularly affected the market price for the securities of many small cap companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Finally, the market on which our stock trades may have a significant impact on the price and liquidity or our shares. Our quarterly revenues, operating results and profitability will vary from quarter to quarter and other factors that may result in increased volatility of our share price. Our quarterly revenues, operating results and profitability have varied in the past and are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter, making them difficult to predict. This may lead to volatility in our share price. The changes in the market price of our common stock may also be for reasons unrelated to our operating performance. Some other factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially include: o the failure to be awarded a significant contract on which we have bid; o the termination by a client of a material contract; o announcement of new services by us or our competitors; o announcement of acquisitions or other significant transactions by us or our competitors; o changes in or failure to meet earnings estimates by securities analysts; o sales of common stock by IGI or existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur; o adverse judgments or settlements obligating us to pay liabilities; o unforeseen legal expenses, including litigation costs; o changes in the value of the defined pension plan assets, required cash contributions and related pension expense as well as the impact of regulatory oversight of pension plans in general; o changes in management; o general economic conditions and overall stock market volatility; o changes in or the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; o reduced demand for products and services caused, for example, by competitors; o the lack of availability or increase in cost of key components and subassemblies; o the inability to timely and successfully complete development of complex designs and components, or manufacture in volume and install certain of our products; o changes in the mix of products and services we or our distributors sell; o cancellations, delays or contract amendments by government agency customers; o expenses related to acquisitions or mergers; and o impairment charges arising out of our assessments of goodwill and intangibles. 23 The price of our common stock may be adversely affected by the possible issuance of shares as a result of the exercise of outstanding warrants and options. As of December 31, 2005 we have granted options to employees and directors covering 4,062,400 shares of our common stock under our stock option plans. In addition, we have issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005. As a result of the actual or potential sale of these shares into the market, our common stock price may decrease. We have been delisted from the NASDAQ market. Prior to March 2003, our common stock was traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. Our stock now trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. As a consequence of such delisting, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. Among other consequences, we believe that delisting from NASDAQ in fact caused a decline in our stock price, and could increase the difficulty of obtaining future financing. The liquidity of our stock is severely reduced as a result of its classification as "penny stock". The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Because our securities are subject to the existing rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for our securities is severely adversely affected. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require substantial additional disclosure obligations and sales practice obligations on broker-dealers where the sale is to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally, those persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the common stock and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and accordingly the market for our common stock. Some provisions in our charter documents and bylaws may have anti-takeover effects. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, with the result that it may deter potential suitors. For example, our board of directors is authorized, without action of the stockholders, to issue authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock. The existence of undesignated preferred stock and authorized but unissued common stock enables us to discourage or to make it more difficult to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. 24 Absence of dividends to stockholders. We have never declared a dividend on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that earnings, if any, will be reinvested in the expansion of our business and debt reduction. We have agreed to limitations on the potential liability of our directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, in general, directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the company or our stockholders for a breach of fiduciary duty. Although this limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission, the presence of these provisions in the certificate of incorporation could prevent us from recovering monetary damages. ITEM 2: PROPERTIES The table below lists our facility locations and square feet owned or leased. The Rochester, NY and Vienna, VA rent includes utilities. Owned Leased Annual Rent Termination Date ----- ------ ----------- ---------------- At December 31, 2005: Vienna, VA - 2,930 $ 76,100 2008 Rochester, NY - 1,348 $ 16,176 2006 We believe all properties are in good operating condition. ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not presently involved in any material legal proceedings. Previously, we were involved in the following legal matters. We were the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court, State of Rhode Island on August 13, 1999 captioned Infinite Group, Inc. vs. Spectra Science Corporation and Nabil Lawandy. In the action, we asserted that by fraud and in breach of fiduciary duties owed, Spectra and its president, Nabil Lawandy, caused us to sell to Spectra shares of Spectra's Series A Preferred stock at a substantial discount to fair market value. We alleged that in entering into the transaction we relied on various representations made by Spectra and Mr. Lawandy, which were untrue at the time they were made. The trial was completed in February 2005, and the jury returned a verdict in our favor in the amount of approximately $600,000. We appealed the amount of the verdict and settled with the defendants in January 2006. As a result, we received and recorded other income of approximately $500,000, net of legal fees and expenses in the first quarter of 2006 We were the respondent in an arbitration proceeding filed on December 10, 2002 captioned J. Terrence Feeley v. Infinite Group, Inc. The claimant, a former employee of ours and former member of our board of directors, alleged that the parties entered into a consulting agreement dated June 27, 2002 relative to the early termination of claimant's employment requiring certain cash payments to be made. Claimant alleged that we had failed to make such cash payments and had breached the agreement and sought all monies owed to him, said amount being approximately $130,000. This matter was settled in the fourth quarter of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, we recorded a gain on settlement of approximately $99,000 in 2005 when we adjusted the carrying amounts of the related liabilities to actual. We also authorized the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock in connection with the settlement agreement valued at $7,500, which was based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the settlement agreement. 25 We were the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed on April 22, 2005 in the Supreme Court, State of New York, captioned Infinite Group, Inc. v. Mark Ackley and Ackco, Inc. In this action, we alleged that Mr. Ackley, our former chief operations officer and director of business development, breached his contractual and fiduciary obligations to us by causing a company he controls to enter into a consulting arrangement with and perform services for another firm while employed by us. We terminated Mr. Ackley's employment for cause on March 11, 2005. We also alleged that Mr. Ackley was in violation of his non-compete obligations contained in his employment agreement. In 2005, the parties agreed to settle all claims to avoid the expense and time of litigation. The parties executed mutual releases. The former employee surrendered 500,000 shares of our common stock that he owned to us, which was recorded at fair value of $175,000 at the date of the settlement agreement. We contributed the shares to the O&W Retirement Plan. The settlement resulted in a gain of $191,739, net of related expenses and adjustments to accrued expenses, and has been recorded as a gain on settlement in our consolidated statement of income. ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on February 28, 2006. There were present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, holders of 15,032,176 Common Shares. Stockholders re-elected the three directors nominated in the February 1, 2006 Proxy Statement, to serve for one-year terms, each to hold office until his successor is duly elected and qualified. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders also: o approved our 2005 Stock Option Plan; o approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 20,000,000 to 60,000,000; and o ratified the appointment of Freed Maxick & Battaglia, CPAs, PC as our independent auditors for the fiscal years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

All shares issued in the transactions described hereinabove bore an appropriate restrictive legend. Dividend Policy We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock. It has been the policy of our board of directors to retain all available funds to finance the development and growth of our business. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our earnings and financial requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. ITEM 6: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those projected in forward looking statements. Readers of this report are advised that this document contains both statements of historical facts and forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements. Examples of forward looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) projections of revenues, income or loss, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure and other financial items, (ii) statements of our plans and objectives with respect to business transactions and enhancement of stockholder value, (iii) statements of future economic performance, and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about our business prospects. This report also identifies important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning at page 10 of this report. The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Overview Beginning in the second quarter of 2003 we commenced operations in the field of information technology (IT) consulting services and biometric technology, and we opened an office in the Washington DC metropolitan area. We now provide business and technology integration and systems support primarily to U.S. government clients. We focus on aligning business processes with technology for delivery of solutions to meet our clients' exact needs and providing expert management services to the lifecycle of technology-based projects. We sold or closed our prior businesses and closed the last sale on December 31, 2004. We are now solely focused in the fields of IT consulting services and biometric technology. The following discussion relates to the businesses that were sold or closed and the current effect on our operations and financial position. 28 Osley & Whitney, Inc. Retirement Plan Since our sale of Osley & Whitney, Inc. (O&W) in 2002, we have remained the sponsor of the O&W Retirement Plan. At December 31, 2005, the O&W defined benefit pension plan had an accrued pension obligation liability of $2,405,612 and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3,046,855 which we recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The market value of plan assets decreased from $3,510,324 at December 31, 2004 to $3,315,524 at December 31, 2005. The decrease was comprised of payment of benefits of $413,193 and expenses paid of $90,964, which were offset in part by an investment return of $127,918 and contributions of $181,439. The benefit obligation increased during 2005 by $33,525 to $5,721,136 at December 31, 2005 as a result of benefits paid of $413,193 which were offset by an actuarial loss of $131,358, and interest cost of $315,360. At December 31, 2004, the O&W defined benefit pension plan had an accrued pension obligation liability of $2,177,287 and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2,755,891 which we recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The decrease in the market value of plan assets from $3,621,035 at December 31, 2003 to $3,510,324 at December 31, 2004 was comprised of payment of benefits of $402,174 and an investment return of $367,617 less expenses paid of $76,154. The benefit obligation decreased during 2004 by $123,638 to $5,687,611 at December 31, 2004 as a result of benefits paid of $402,174 and an actuarial gain of $60,091 offset by interest cost of $338,627. We were required to contribute amounts in 2004 and 2005 and are required to make contributions in future years to fund the deficiency. We did not make a contribution in 2002, 2003 or 2004 and we currently do not have the funds available to make available to make required contributions which currently approximate $1.4 million. During 2005, we made contributions of $6,439 and 500,000 shares of our common stock, which were valued on the contribution date at $175,000 using the closing market price. We recorded defined benefit pension expense of approximately $119,000 in 2005 and $161,000 in 2004. In March 2005, we filed a funding waiver application requesting waivers of the minimum funding standard for the 2005 plan year of $513,551 and for the 2004 plan year of $979,328 (which includes quarterly cash disbursements aggregating approximately $455,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and unfunded prior year amounts). We are also evaluating strategies to improve the plan's performance. Express Pattern (EP) Note Receivable On March 14, 2002, we sold the net assets of EP. The remaining balance of the note receivable at December 31, 2005 after the offset and write-off is approximately $74,000. The interest earned on this note through December 31, 2005 in the amount of $27,545 has been fully reserved, because we feel collection of the interest is doubtful at this time. Recent Sales of Laser Fare Assets In 2003, we decided to sell the net assets of the Laser Group and sold a portion of the business on December 31, 2003 and the remaining business on December 31, 2004. Our Laser Group was comprised of Laser Fare, Inc. (LF) and Mound Laser & Photonics Center, Inc. (MLPC) and provided comprehensive laser-based materials processing services to leading manufacturers. We disposed of MLPC in 2002 and the operations ceased. In 2003, we decided to sell the net assets of LF. We sold a portion of Laser Fare's business related to medical products and engraving on December 31, 2003 to LFI, Inc., an entity owned by two former employees of our Laser Group, including our former chairman and chief executive officer. The transaction resulted in a loss on disposition of approximately $99,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. The purchase price for the assets consisted of LFI's assumption of certain of our liabilities in the aggregate amount of approximately $358,000 at December 31, 2003. We sold the remaining assets of our Laser Group to Rolben Acquisition Corporation, a company affiliated with LFI, on December 31, 2004 and recognized a loss on disposal of approximately $224,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. The purchase price for the remaining assets consisted of Rolben's assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of Laser Fare, Inc. and the delivery of promissory notes in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.1 Million. Because certain required consents were not yet obtained, we remained obligated under several notes to UPS Capital Business Credit ("UPS") and the Rhode Island Industrial Facilities Corporation ("RIIFC") in the same amounts as the notes from Rolben. In May 2005, the buyer obtained new bank financing and paid off all of LF's notes receivable, which proceeds were used to pay off LF's bank promissory notes and capital lease obligation. 29 IT Consulting and Biometric Strategy The following information relates to our current business developments and strategies. In 2003, 2004 and 2005 we raised capital from private placements of debt and equity securities. Our business plan included: o the completion of our disposal of the Laser Group and o our focus beginning in 2003 in the field of information technology (IT) consulting services and the emerging area of biometric technology. Our IT services include strategic staffing, program management, project management, network services, technical engineering, software development, and enterprise resource planning. Beginning in 2003, we have entered into several subcontract agreements with a number of prime contractors to several U.S. government agencies. In December 2003, we were awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for IT consulting services. Having a GSA Contract allows us to compete for and secure prime contracts with all executive agencies of the U.S. Government as well as other national and international organizations. In 2003, we entered into a License Agreement with Ultra-Scan Corporation, a privately held technology company headquartered in Buffalo, New York. The License Agreement gives us the ability to use, market and sell certain proprietary fingerprint recognition technology. We have completed the development of an access control terminal and related software called Touch-Thru(TM) incorporating that technology. We intend to market and sell that product beginning in 2006 in a variety of industries and markets, including the federal, state and local government, health care, travel and general security and access control. In the past several years the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new standards, which we have determined, did not have any material effect on our financial statements and we anticipate they will not have a material effect on our financial statements through December 31, 2005. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2005, we had cash of $109,090 available for our working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures. At December 31, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $90,000 and a current ratio of 1.09. Our objective is to improve our working capital position from profitable operations. If we incur operating losses or net losses, we may experience working capital shortages that impair our business operations and growth strategy. Presently, we have sufficient cash flow and short-term financing sources, secured by accounts receivable, to pay our payrolls and recurring invoices on a timely basis. 30 At December 31, 2004 we had a working capital deficit of $1,972,840, ($1,961,461 after eliminating the assets and liabilities of our discontinued operations). The working capital deficit was primarily caused by our primary lenders not having issued their waivers for certain loan covenant violations that existed at December 31, 2004 at our Laser Fare subsidiary, which resulted in re-characterizing our long-term debt to current liabilities. The loan covenants were measured annually at December 31st. The loans totaled $2,116,847 at December 31, 2004. The loan covenant violations which existed at December 31, 2004 related to failure to meet certain levels of working capital, debt to tangible net worth ratio and exceeding capital expenditure limits. In May 2005, the buyer of LF's assets obtained new bank financing and paid off all of LF's notes receivable, which proceeds were used to pay off LF's bank promissory notes and capital lease obligation. This improved working capital by approximately $1.9 million, since the bank promissory notes and the capital lease obligation were all classified as current liabilities due to violations of certain loan covenants. We have financed the activity of our new IT Services Group through the issuance of notes payable to third parties and to related parties, private placements of common stock and financing of our accounts receivable. We established in 2004 a financing line of up to $800,000 with a financial institution that allows us to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution with full recourse against the company. We pay fees based on the length of time that the invoice remains unpaid. At December 31, 2005, we had approximately $500,000 of availability under this line and could finance up to another approximately $210,000 based on selected accounts receivable at December 31, 2005. In January, 2004, we also entered into a line of credit agreement with one of our prime contractors whereby the prime contractor may lend amounts when requested by us based on the balance of accounts receivable due from the prime contractor. The customer has agreed to advance us money under the line of credit note agreement in the amount of the outstanding invoices up to $600,000 at an agreed upon interest rate. This line was not used at December 31, 2005. We have used our common stock to provide compensation to certain employees and consultants and to fund liabilities. During 2005, one consultant provided services to us valued at $89,328. Those services are payable in 300,000 shares of our common stock. We do not have sufficient funds to pay the required contributions of the O&W Retirement Plan which currently approximate $1.4 million. We were required to contribute amounts in 2004 and 2005 and are required to make contributions in future years to fund the deficiency. We did not make a contribution in 2004. During 2005, we made contributions of $6,439 and 500,000 shares of our common stock, which were valued on the contribution date at $175,000 using the closing market price. In March 2005, we filed a funding waiver application requesting waivers of the minimum funding standard for the 2005 plan year of $513,551 and for the 2004 plan year of $979,328 (which includes quarterly cash disbursements aggregating approximately $455,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and unfunded prior year amounts). We are working with authorities to obtain acceptance of our waiver application, although we cannot be assured that the application will be approved. We are also implementing strategies to improve the plan's investment performance. In March 2006, one of our subcontracts for services to the U.S. government ended when required additional funds were not approved. We earned approximately $2.2 million or 26% of our revenue from this subcontract in 2005. Due to the nature of certain of our contracts, contract terminations occur when projects are completed or when appropriations of funds are used and new appropriations are not approved. We have submitted proposals and have identified opportunities for other new contracts in 2005 and 2006 to replace revenue that does not continue in the ordinary course of business, as well as to increase our revenues. When we experience contract terminations or reductions in customer staffing requirements, we attempt to identify other revenue generating project opportunities with our existing prime contractors or others to redeploy those employees who are no longer providing billable services. In March 2006, in response to the termination of the contract discussed above, we placed several formerly billable employees on unpaid leave, realigned positions of our business development staff, and redirected our selling and marketing activities towards those opportunities that heighten the probability of increased revenues in 2006, while preserving our long term business development initiatives. We are focusing on a Tactical Program that seeks to grow business with existing clients and a Strategic Program that aligns us with major procurement activity for long term growth. 31 We are actively pursuing opportunities to develop additional revenues in new and existing target markets. In March 2006 we opened a regional office in Jackson, Mississippi, and hired a new business development employee to pursue state and local government business opportunities within the Gulf Coast region. We also retained a lobbying firm to assist us in that effort. Moreover, we are also channeling energies towards forming alliances with large systems integrators, who are mandated by federal policy to direct defined percentages of their work to small business subcontractors. In addition, we are currently working on proposals for contract awards that we believe will enhance our posture as a government contractor. Early successes in our 2006 initiatives are evident in the preferred relationships we have earned with several large systems integrators and one major product house. In addition, we are a member of one of only seven teams that won the U.S. Army's recent Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract. Under our agreement with the prime contracter, we are identified as a primary Earned Value Management resource, as well as a provider of network and software services. However, although our future prospects are robust, the lengthy government financing and procurement processes may result in temporary operating losses until revenue increases to support our infrastructure and provides consistent profitability. In the future, we may issue additional debt or equity securities to satisfy our cash needs. Any debt incurred or issued may be secured or unsecured, at a fixed or variable interest rates and may contain other terms and conditions that our board of directors deems prudent. Any sales of equity securities may be at or below current market prices. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in generating sufficient capital to adequately fund our working capital needs. Future Trends We believe that our operations, as currently structured, together with our current financial resources, will result in improved financial performance in future years. There is no assurance, that our current resources will be adequate to fund the liabilities for the O&W retirement plan or our current operations and business expansion or that we will be successful in raising additional working capital. Our failure to raise necessary working capital could force us to curtail operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Results of Operations Sale of Laser Group Completed in 2004 As part of our restructured business plan, we made a decision in 2003 to eliminate certain non-core businesses and placed the assets and business of its LF subsidiary for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2004, LF had income from discontinued operations of $268,439, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On December 31, 2003, we sold certain assets and liabilities of LF to LFI, Inc. ("LFI") relating to the laser engraving and medical products manufacturing and assembly businesses of LF. The principals of LFI are former employees of LF, including our former chairman and chief executive officer. The purchase price for the assets was certain assumed liabilities of LF and/or the Company. On December 31, 2004, we completed the sale of the remaining assets, including the assumption of certain liabilities, to an affiliate of LFI, relating to all the remaining laser businesses of LF. The purchase price was the assumed liabilities of LF and the receipt of notes receivable in the amount of approximately $2.1 million. In May 2005, the buyer of LF's assets obtained new bank financing and paid off all of LF's notes receivable, which proceeds were used to pay off LF's bank promissory notes and capital lease obligation. 32 Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 The following table compares our statement of operations data for 2005 and 2004. We commenced the operations of our IT Services Group in the second quarter of 2003. The trends suggested by this table are not indicative of future operating results due to the startup nature of our IT Services Group and our decision to sell the business of our Laser Group and focus on our IT Services Group.

The increase was due to the continued development of our IT Services Group, which began operations in the second quarter of 2003. We realized sales increases from new and expanded contracts with prime contractors for the U.S. government. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Cost of sales represents the cost of employee services related to the IT Services Group. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $5,962,989 or 70.1% of sales as compared to $4,126,607 or 72% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2004. Gross profit was $2,542,210 or 29.9% of sales for 2005 compared to $1,608,405 or 28% of sales for 2004. We experienced a small increase in gross profit margin as a percent of sales due to the mix of different projects. As the project mix changes, our gross profit margin changes. Although our objective is to maintain an overall gross margin of approximately 30%, in the future we may submit bids on new work with lower gross profit margins to generate opportunities for long-term, larger volume contracts and more stable sales. 33 General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses include corporate overhead such as compensation and benefits for administrative and finance personnel, rent, insurance, professional fees, travel, O&W pension plan expense, and office expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $395,978 or 40.9%. Approximately half of this increase is due to the increases in employee compensation and related fringe benefits expenses. We also incurred increased operating expenses as we manage a larger volume of business. General and administrative expenses include increases in accounting and legal expenses for 2005 of approximately $124,000 principally due to our focus on completing audits for the prior three years and related quarterly reviews of our financial statements and related regulatory filings, which were completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in July 2005. General and administrative expenses include expenses (including pension expense, professional services, waiver application filing fees, and interest costs) associated with the Osley & Whitney defined benefit retirement plan. These expenses increased by approximately $19,000 from approximately $202,900 for 2004 to approximately $221,900 for 2005. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense was relatively unchanged at 16% for 2005 and 16.9% for 2004. We anticipate that the amount of general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to implement our business strategy and incur travel and other expenses associated with managing a larger business. We expect that legal and accounting expenses for auditing and Securities and Exchange Commission reporting and compliance will decrease in the future since our public filings for several years were brought current in July 2005. However, we may experience an increase in other legal fees due to the growth of our business and the associated volume of new contracts and contract administration. Selling Expenses For the year ended December 31, 2005 we incurred selling expenses of $777,645 associated with growing the business in our IT Services Group compared to $4,617 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, we added new employees and changed the work assignment of one employee and added sales consultants to focus on generating new sales leads and new contract opportunities. One consultant earned and we therefore expensed $89,328 in fees during the second half of 2005, payable in 300,000 shares of our common stock, which was based on the value of the services received. We expect that selling expenses, consisting principally of salaries, benefits, sales consultants, and travel expenses will remain at increased levels as we devote more resources to increasing our sales. Research and Development For the year ended December 31, 2005 we continued to incur research and development expenses related to our biometrics applications and recorded $318,038 of expense compared to $285,659 for the year ended December 31, 2004. These expenses are principally related to the development of an access control terminal and related software called TouchThru(TM). TouchThru(TM) is a self-contained terminal enabling physical access control using biometric identification. It incorporates fingerprint matching technology licensed from Ultra-Scan Corporation, a private technology company headquartered in Buffalo, New York. TouchThru(TM) will be the first biometric product we introduce, and we intend to market and sell that product beginning in 2006. We plan to market and sell TouchThru(TM) in a variety of industries and markets, including the federal, state and local government, health care, travel and general security, and access control. 34 Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was $41,547 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $29,874 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Beginning in the second quarter of 2003, we purchased equipment related to our Rochester headquarters office, acquired a technology license and capitalized software development costs related to our TouchThru TM products. We have continued to acquire office equipment such as personal computers as we hire additional personnel. We relocated our Washington, D.C. region office in the third quarter of 2005 and acquired additional office equipment. The increase is due to depreciations and amortization of these recently acquired assets. Write-off of Capitalized Closing Costs In the second quarter of 2005, the buyer of the assets and businesses of LF obtained new bank financing. The buyer paid all of our notes receivable from it, which proceeds were used to pay off all of LF's bank promissory notes and LF's capital lease. As a result we wrote off the balance of the capitalized financing costs of $44,857, which was included in amortization expense. Income (Loss) From Operations For the year ended December 31, 2005 our operating loss was $(4,059) compared to operating income of $320,051 for 2004. This is attributable to several factors. First, our focus on our new IT Services Group and the growth of IT sales provided gross profit of $2,542,210, an increase of $933,805 over 2004. Second, our expenses increased, principally for general and administrative purposes by $395,978 and for selling by $773,028. Operating expenses were $2,546,269, for 2005, an increase of $1,257,915 over 2004, which was more than our increase in gross profit. Other Income (Expense) Other income and expense consists of three components for the year ended December 31, 2005. One component of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2005 is gains on settlement with two terminated employees which amounted to $290,533. This consists of the return to us of 500,000 shares of our common stock less legal expenses that we incurred in connection with one settlement. The shares were valued at the fair value on the date the settlement agreement was executed. Pursuant to the terms of a second settlement agreement, we recorded a gain on settlement of approximately $99,000 in 2005 when we adjusted the carrying amounts of the related liabilities to actual. Interest expense was $336,286 (including $66,255 of interest expense on notes payable of LF) for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $157,689 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase of $178,597 is offset by $66,255 of interest income from the notes receivable due from the buyer of LF's business for a net increase of $112,342. This net increase is principally due to (i) an increase in factoring fees from the sale of accounts receivable with recourse of $88,782 due to an increase in factoring transaction volume; (ii) an increase in interest on notes payable to related parties of $10,318 due to an increase in the average outstanding principal balance of notes payable to related parties; (iii) an increase in interest to others of $10,157, which is interest on short-term notes to finance accounts receivable; and (iv) an increase in interest of $3,085 on equipment loans. Another component of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2005 consists of a gain on the sale of office equipment of $8,452 in connection with the relocation and sublease of office space in the Washington, D.C. area. 35 Income tax expense was $3,500 and $350 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, consisting of state taxes. Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations The financial statements for 2005 and 2004 reflect management's decision to sell the assets, certain liabilities and businesses of LF. Accordingly, the corresponding assets and liabilities of LF were classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in 2004 and the operating results were classified as income (loss) from discontinued operations in 2005 and 2004. As a result of the above transactions and our decision to liquidate the assets of Infinite Photonics in a prior year, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $415,969 in 2004. We recorded income from discontinued operations of $12,233 in 2005 as the remaining assets and liabilities of the sold businesses were resolved. Net Income For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded income from continuing operations of $21,913, or $.00 per share and net income of $34,146 or $.00 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2004, this compares to net income from continuing operations of $162,012 or $.01 per share and net income of $577,981 or $.04 per share (the difference of $.03 per share is from discontinued operations). The decrease in profitability is attributable to an increase in gross profit of $933,805 and a gain on settlements with terminated employees of $290,533 which were offset by increases in operating expenses of $1,346,697, especially selling expenses, for the year ended December 31, 2005. We also recorded a gain from discontinued operations of $12,233 for the year ended December 31, 2005 versus a gain of $415,969 for 2004. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates There are several accounting policies that we believe are significant to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements. These policies require management to make complex or subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements presents a summary of significant accounting policies. The most critical accounting policies follow. Revenue Recognition Consulting revenues are recognized as the consulting services are provided. Customer deposits received in advance are recorded as liabilities until associated services are completed. During the year ended December 31, 2005 sales to three customers accounted for 91% (87% in 2004) of total revenues from continuing operations and 92% (40% in 2004) of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005. Accounts Receivable Provisions As part of the financial reporting process, management estimates and establishes reserves for potential credit losses relating to the collection of certain receivables. This analysis involves a degree of judgment regarding customers' ability and willingness to satisfy its obligations to us. These estimates are based on past history with customers and current circumstances. Management's estimates of doubtful accounts historically have been within reasonable limits of actual bad debts. Management's failure to identify all factors involved in determining the collectibility of an account receivable could result in bad debts in excess of reserves established. 36 Deferred Tax Asset Valuation and Income Taxes Management calculates the future tax benefit relating to certain tax timing differences and available net operating losses and credits available to offset future taxable income. This deferred tax asset is then reduced by a valuation allowance if management believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized. This estimate is based on historical profitability results, expected future performance and the expiration of certain tax attributes which give rise to the deferred tax asset. As of the balance sheet date, a reserve has been established for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset. In the event, we generate future taxable income we will be able to utilize the net operating loss carry forwards subject to any utilization limitations. This will result in the realization of the deferred tax asset, which has been fully reserved. As a result, we would have to revise estimates of future profitability and determine if its valuation reserve requires downward adjustment. At December 31, 2005, we had federal net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $24.6 million that expire in years 2009 through 2025. Our ability to utilize the federal NOL carry forwards may be impaired if we continue to incur operating losses and may be limited by the change of control provisions if we issue substantial numbers of new shares or stock options. Defined Benefit Plan Assumptions We have a defined benefit plan, under which participants earned a retirement benefit based upon a formula set forth in the plan. We record income or expense related to the plan using actuarially determined amounts that are calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." Key assumptions used in the actuarial valuations include the discount rate and the anticipated rate of return on plan assets. These rates are based on market interest rates, and therefore fluctuations in market interest rates could impact the amount of pension income or expense recorded for these plans. Despite our belief that these estimates are reasonable for these key actuarial assumptions, future actual results will likely differ from our estimates, and these differences could materially affect our future financial statements either unfavorably or favorably. The discount rate enables a company to state expected future cash flows at a present value on the measurement date. We have little latitude in selecting this rate since it is based on the yield on high-quality fixed income investments at the measurement date. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and increases pension expense. To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, management considers a variety of factors including historical returns and asset class return expectations based on the plan's current asset allocation. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate at each balance sheet date the continued appropriateness of the carrying value of our long-lived assets including our long-term receivables and property, plant and equipment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposals of Long Lived Assets." We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such assets may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, management would evaluate the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets compared to the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value. We consider continued operating losses, or significant and long-term changes in business conditions, to be the primary indicators of potential impairment. In measuring impairment, we look to quoted market prices, if available, or the best information available in the circumstances. 37 Stock-Based Compensation We disclose the pro forma compensation cost relating to stock options granted under employee stock option plans, based on the fair value of those options at the date of grant. This valuation is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes, option-pricing model, which takes into account certain assumptions, including the expected life of the option and the expected stock volatility and dividend yield over this life. These assumptions are made based on past experience and expected future results. In the event the actual performance varies from the estimated amounts, the value of these options may be misstated. Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". This Statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. We anticipate that this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment," or SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) revises FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the Company's first quarter of 2006. The Company will be adopting SFAS No. 123(R) beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2006. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) will apply to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date must be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. These new accounting rules will lead to a decrease in reported earnings. The Company has evaluated the potential impact from adopting this statement and believes it is not material for the options presently outstanding. ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The response to this item is submitted as a separate section of this report beginning on page F-1. ITEM 8: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES There are not and have not been any disagreements between us and our accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statements disclosure. 38 ITEM 8A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 39 PART III ITEM 9: DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Set forth below are the names, ages and positions of our directors and executive officers at December 31, 2005.

Compensation of Directors We do not pay any directors' fees. Directors are reimbursed for the costs relating to attending board and committee meetings. Employment Agreements In 2003, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Smith, Ackley and Frost. These agreements are essentially identical and provide, among other things, for annual base compensation of $150,000 for five-year terms. In addition, each agreement provides for the issuance of 500,000 shares of our common stock with a value of $25,000 as of the date of issuance and 500,000 employee stock options exercisable at $.05 per share. Each agreement also provides for, among other things, incentive compensation, termination benefits in the event of death, disability and termination for other than cause, and a covenant against competition. Mr. Ackley's employment was terminated for cause in March, 2005. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers and directors were complied with except for the following: Allan M. Robbins, James D. Frost, Michael S. Smith, Paul J. Delmore and Upstate Holdings, LLC during the year ended December 31, 2004 and William J. Carroll during the year ended December 31, 2005 did not timely file their respective Annual Change in Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 5. With respect to any former directors, officers, and ten percent (10%) stockholders of Infinite Group, Infinite Group does not have any knowledge of any known failures to comply with the filing requirements of Section 16(a). 43 ITEM 11: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock, our only class of voting securities, as of March 31, 2006 by: o each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares; o each of our directors; o each Named Executive named in the Summary Compensation Table above; o all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The information with respect to this stockholder was derived from his Officers and Directors Questionnaire. 44 Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans We have stock option plans, which were adopted by our board and approved by our stockholders, covering an aggregate of 1,626,500 unexercised shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005, consisting of both incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) and non-qualified options. The option plans are intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Incentive stock options are issuable only to our employees, while non-qualified options may be issued to non-employees, consultants, and others, as well as to employees. We also have a stock option plan which was adopted by our board in March 2005, and was approved by our stockholders on February 28, 2006, covering an aggregate of 4,000,000 unexercised shares of our Common Stock at December 31, 2005, consisting of both incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and non-qualified options. The option plans are administered by the our compensation committee, which determines those individuals who shall receive options, the time period during which the options may be partially or fully exercised, the number of share of common stock that may be purchased under each option, and the option price. The per share exercise price of an incentive or non-qualified stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option is granted) of the shares of common stock for which incentive stock options are first exercisable by any individual during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of an incentive stock option to him or her, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Infinite Group shall be eligible to receive any incentive stock option under the option plans unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock subject to the option, determined on the date of grant. Non-qualified options are not subject to this limitation. An optionee may not transfer an incentive stock option, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee, the option will be exercisable only by him or her. In the event of termination of employment other than by death or disability, the optionee will have thirty (30) days after such termination during which to exercise the option. Upon termination of employment of an optionee by reason of death or permanent total disability, the option remains exercisable for one year thereafter to the extent it was exercisable on the date of such termination. No similar limitation applies to non-qualified options. Pursuant to our option plans, each new non-employee director is automatically granted, upon becoming a director, an option to purchase 7,500 shares of our common stock at the fair market value of such shares on the grant date. In addition, each non-employee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares at the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant, on the date of our annual meeting of stockholders. These options vest 1/3 upon grant and 1/3 at the end of each subsequent year of service. In April 2003, we granted 7,500 options to each of our two new directors. In addition to the foregoing, in March 2005, we granted 50,000 non-qualified options to each of our two outside directors. As of December 31, 2005, we have granted 141,500 options to members of the Board, all of which are exercisable at December 31, 2005 at prices ranging from $.10 to $7.80. 45 Options under the option plans must be granted within 10 years from the effective date of each respective plan. Incentive stock options granted under the plan cannot be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant, except that incentive stock options issued to greater than 10% stockholders are limited to four-year terms. All options granted under the plans provide for the payment of the exercise price in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by the optionee having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of the options being exercised, or by a combination of such methods of payment. Therefore, an optionee may be able to tender shares of Common Stock to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and may theoretically exercise all of his stock options without making any additional cash investment. Any unexercised options that expire or that terminate upon an optionee's ceasing to be affiliated with Infinite Group become available once again for issuance. The following table summarizes as of December 31, 2005 the (i) currently exercisable options granted under our plans and (ii) all other securities subject to contracts, options, warrants and rights or authorized for future issuance outside our plans. The shares covered by outstanding options or authorized for future issuance are subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization stock splits, stock dividends and similar events.

(3) Consists of warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock issued to a service provider in connection with debt financings in 2002, which are exercisable at $2.40 per share and expire in 2007. 46 At December 31, 2005, we had notes payable and accrued interest of $359,050 due to Dr. Allan M. Robbins, a member of our board, and $553,851 due to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC. These notes and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at $.05 per share at the option of the note holder at any time after 60 days following the date on which the stockholders of Infinite Group vote to authorize a sufficient number of shares to permit such conversion, provided that such conversions do not result in a change of control that would limit Infinite Group's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards. If the principal and accrued interest were converted in full, we would be required to issue 7,181,000 common shares to the Dr. Robbins and 11,077,020 common shares to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC. As of December 31, 2005 if all of the aforementioned incentive and non-qualified options and warrants were to be exercised and notes including accrued interest were to be converted to shares of our common stock, we would be obligated to issue an additional 22,395,420 common shares. ITEM 12: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Clifford G. Brockmyre III Mr. Brockmyre's son, Clifford G. Brockmyre III, was employed as the General Manager of our Laser Fare, Inc. subsidiary at an annual salary of $100,000 through December 31, 2004, at which time the business, assets and certain liabilities of Laser Fare were sold. Mr. Brockmyre is no longer affiliated with us. We believe that Mr. Brockmyre's employment with Laser Fare was on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from third parties. As a matter of policy, in order to reduce the risks of self-dealing or a breach of the duty of loyalty to us, all transactions between us and any of our officers, directors or principal stockholders are for bona fide purposes and are approved by a majority of the disinterested members of our Board. Intelligent Consulting, LLC We are obligated under various convertible notes payable to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC which owns 500,000 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005. The sole member of Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC is James Villa, an individual. He is also the sole member of Intelligent Consulting, LLC ("ICC"), a consulting firm which provides consulting services to us. We have contracted with ICC on a month to month basis since 2003. The consulting services provided by ICC have included developing new business strategies that led to our disposal of all of our former businesses and to implementing our current business plans; developing and implementing our business plans for TouchThru(TM) and biometric applications; developing and implementing improvements to our technology infrastructure; and specific projects as directed by our President to assist us in developing and implementing our business plans and other corporate matters. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, we paid ICC $168,997 and $223,384, respectively, for services its personnel provided. Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC and Dr. Allan M. Robbins As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we were obligated to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC under the terms of a convertible note payable of $203,324 bearing interest at 7.75% per annum. Effective December 31, 2004, the terms of the note were revised and the maturity date was extended to January 1, 2007 with principal and accrued interest convertible at the option of the holder any time after September 1, 2005 into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we issued various notes to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC amounting to $317,800 with interest at 6%. Effective December 1, 2004, the terms of the notes were modified. The maturity dates were extended to January 1, 2007 with principal and accrued interest convertible at the option of the holder any time after September 1, 2005 into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. On December 6, 2005, $25,000 of the principal of the notes was converted by the holder into 500,000 shares of common stock reducing the principal balance to $292,800 ($317,800 - 2004). 47 During 2004, we issued various unsecured notes payable to Dr. Allan M. Robbins, a member of our board of directors. The outstanding balance of the notes amounted to $314,000 at December 31, 2005 ($314,000 - 2004) and bear interest at 6% at December 31, 2005. Effective December 1, 2004, the terms of the notes were modified. The maturity dates were extended to January 1, 2007 with principal and accrued interest convertible at the option of the holder any time after September 1, 2005 into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. Effective October 1, 2005, the terms of the aforementioned notes to Northwest Hampton Holdings, LLC and Dr. Allan M. Robbins were further modified as follows. The interest rates were revised to 8% for the year ending December 31, 2006. Thereafter, the interest rate will be adjusted annually, on January 1st of each year, to a rate equal to the prime rate in effect on December 31st of the immediately preceding year, plus one and one quarter percent, and in no event, shall the interest rate be less than 6% per annum. The maturity dates were extended to January 1, 2016 with principal and accrued interest convertible at the option of the holder at any time, subject to restrictions stated below, into shares of common stock at $.05 per share. Subsequently, we executed collateral security agreements with the note holder providing for a security in interest in all our assets. Generally, upon notice, prior to the note maturity date, we can prepay all or a portion of the outstanding note principal; provided, however, at no time can we prepay an amount that would result in a change of control and limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards if the same amount were converted by the note holder. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock subject to the following limitations. The notes are not convertible to the extent that shares of common stock issuable upon the proposed conversion would result in a change in control which would limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards; provided, however, if we close a transaction with another third party or parties that results in a change of control which will limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards, then the foregoing limitation shall lapse. Prior to any conversion, each note holder holding a note which is then convertible into 5% or more of our common stock shall be entitled to participate on a pari passu basis with the requesting note holder and upon any such participation the requesting note holder shall proportionately adjust his conversion request such that, in the aggregate, a change of control, which will limit the use of our net operating loss carryforwards, does not occur. David N. Slavny Family Trust During 2005, we issued various notes to the individuals that control the David N. Slavny Family Trust, which is a shareholder. At December 31, 2005, the notes were consolidated into one note of $185,000 with interest payable monthly at 12% with all principal maturing on January 1, 2008. The notes are secured by all of the assets of Infinite Group, Inc. 48 ITEM 13: EXHIBITS The Exhibits listed below are filed as part of this Report: 3.1 Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Infinite Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Infinite Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ FREED MAXICK & BATTAGLIA, CPAs, PC Buffalo, New York February 28, 2006 F-1 INFINITE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BUSINESS The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Infinite Group, Inc. (IGI), and each of its wholly owned subsidiaries: Infinite Photonics, Inc. (IP), Laser Fare, Inc. (LF), and LF's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mound Laser and Photonics Center, Inc. (MLPC); Express Tool, Inc. (ET); Materials and Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. (MMT); Express Pattern (EP) and MetaTek, Inc. (MT) (collectively "the Company"). During 2005, IGI was the only operating company. The Company operated in the following segments at various times throughout 2004: IT Services Group (IGI), the Laser Group (LF, MLPC, ET, MMT and MT) and the Photonics Group (IP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Beginning in 2003 the Company changed its business focus. During 2003, the Company started a new business focusing in the field of information technology consulting and integration and on the emerging area of biometric technology as a complement to that effort (IT Services Group). Also, in early 2003 the Company decided to sell essentially all the assets and liabilities of its Laser Group (Note 4). Continuing in 2004 the Company was still winding down the previously discontinued operations of the Laser and Photonics groups. During 2005, the Company operated in one segment, the IT Services Group. NOTE 2. - MANAGEMENT PLANS Business Strategy Beginning in 2003, the Company began commercial operations in the field of information technology (IT) consulting and integration, concentrating on the emerging area of biometric technology as a complement to that effort. The Company's IT services include strategic staffing, program management, project management, network management, technical engineering, software development, and enterprise resource planning. The Company has entered into one prime contract with the U.S. government and several subcontract agreements with a number of prime contractors to the U.S. government. The Company entered into a three year subcontract agreement with a large computer equipment manufacturer pursuant to which it is engaged in a server management and service program with an establishment of the U.S. government. In December 2003, the Company was awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract by the U.S. General Services Administration ("GSA"). Having a GSA Contract allows the Company to compete for and secure prime contracts with all executive agencies of the U.S. Government as well as other national and international organizations. The Company has utilized its GSA Contract to secure a prime contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In 2003, the Company entered into a license agreement with a privately held technology company. The license agreement gives the Company the ability to use, market and sell certain proprietary fingerprint recognition technology. The Company has substantially completed development of an access control terminal and related software called TouchThru(TM) incorporating that technology. The Company intends to market and sell the TouchThru(TM) product during 2006 and beyond to a variety of industries and markets, including the federal, state and local government, health care, travel and general security, and access control. F-8 INFINITE GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2. - MANAGEMENT PLANS - CONTINUED As part of its business plan, the Company made a decision during 2003 to eliminate certain non-core businesses. On December 31, 2003, the Company and LF entered into an asset purchase agreement with LFI, Inc. ("LFI") relating to the purchase by LFI of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of LF relating to the laser engraving and medical products manufacturing and assembly businesses of LF (Note 4). On October 30, 2002, Infinite Photonics, Inc. (included in the Photonics Group) received a Notice of Termination of its DARPA Contract. The Contract was terminated for the U.S. government's convenience under the clause entitled Termination, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.249.6. The Company worked very closely with the government throughout the settlement process. The Company presented the Terminating Contracting Officer with all costs associated with the terminated contract and has finalized a negotiated settlement. All work allowable under the Contract that has occurred as of the termination date, and all reasonable costs allowable under the settlement provisions, have been reimbursed by the government. Because of the termination of the DARPA contract, the Company's new management team decided to discontinue the Photonics segment of its business (Note 4). Without the government funding provided by the DARPA contract, management did not believe that sufficient funds could be raised to successfully commercialize its laser diode technology in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company decided to restructure its business along different lines. On December 31, 2002, the former chairman and chief executive officer of the Company resigned to become the chief executive officer of Laser Fare. Companies controlled by this executive acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Laser Fare in two closings which took place on December 31, 2003 and 2004 (Note 4). As a result of the first acquisition on December 31, 2003, this executive resigned his position with Laser Fare to join the acquiring company. A former outside board member assumed the positions of chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of the Company on January 6, 2003. The new business strategy described above, as well as the various capital raising activities engaged in by the Company have allowed the Company to continue and expand operations. NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Restricted Funds - Restricted funds represent escrow funds set aside to meet scheduled payments pursuant to a capital lease financing arrangement (Note 9). These funds were held in cash deposit and treasury trust accounts. The outstanding balance of the related capital lease was paid in full during 2005, therefore the Company is no longer required to set aside funds. Accounts Receivable - Credit is granted to substantially all customers throughout the U.S. The Company carries its accounts receivable at invoice amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. The Company's policy is to not accrue interest on past due receivables. Management has determined that an allowance of approximately $53,000 for doubtful accounts for continuing operations is necessary for the year ended December 31, 2005 ($25,000 - 2004). F-9 INFINITE GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Sale of Certain Accounts Receivable - During 2004, the Company established a financing line with a financial institution (the Purchaser). In connection with this line of credit the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (SFAS) Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". SFAS 140 enables the Company to sell selected accounts receivable invoices to the Purchaser with full recourse against the Company. These transactions qualify for a sale of assets since (1) the Company has transferred all of its right, title and interest in the selected accounts receivable invoices to the financial institution, (2) the Purchaser may pledge, sell or transfer the selected accounts receivable invoices, and (3) the Company has no effective control over the selected accounts receivable invoices since it is not entitled to or obligated to repurchase or redeem the invoices before their maturity and it does not have the ability to unilaterally cause the Purchaser to return the invoices. Under SFAS 140, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 140, the Company reflects the factoring transactions as a sale of assets and establishes an accounts receivable from the Purchaser for the retained amount less the costs of the transaction and less any anticipated future loss in the value of the retained asset. The retained amount is generally equal to 20% of the total accounts receivable invoice sold to the Purchaser, less 1.5% of the total invoice as a fee for the first 30 days the invoice remains open. For every ten day period or portion thereof that the invoice remains unpaid after the first 30 days, the Company is required to pay an additional fee of one half of one percent. The estimated future loss reserve for each receivable included in the estimated value of the retained asset is based on the payment history of the accounts receivable customer and is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. As collateral, the Company granted the Purchaser a first priority interest in accounts receivable and a blanket lien, which may be junior to other creditors, on all other assets. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold approximately $4,100,000 ($2,600,000 - 2004) of its accounts receivable to the Purchaser. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $367,684 ($344,029 - 2004) of these receivables remained outstanding. After deducting estimated fees and advances from the factor, the net receivable from the Purchaser amounted to $68,022 at December 31, 2005 ($67,282 - 2004), and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheet as of that date. Further, the Company had requested and received an advance from the Purchaser against this interest, which amounted to $294,147 as of December 31, 2005 ($275,554 - 2004). These amounts are reflected as an offset to accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. There were no gains or losses on the sale of the accounts receivable because all were eventually collected. The cost associated with the fees totaled approximately $159,555 for the year ending December 31, 2005 ($70,773 - 2004). These fees were classified on the statements of income as interest expense. Late charges were minimal and are included in the above fees. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives for financial statement purposes. The cost of improvements to leased properties is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized. F-10 INFINITE GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Software Development Costs - Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". All costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of a computer software product are expensed as incurred. Software development costs, incurred subsequent to the determination that the project is technically feasible, in the amount $225,000 have been deferred as of December 31, 2005 ($123,068 - 2004) for the TouchThru(TM) software product development project. The Company recorded amortization of deferred software development costs of $8,473 for the year ended December 31, 2005 ($ 8,473 - 2004) and has accumulated amortization of $17,652 at December 31, 2005 ($9,179 - 2004). Intangible Assets - Intangible assets at December 31, 2005 consist of a technology license which was amortized using the straight-line method over two years. During 2005, the deferred financing costs which were amortized using the straight line method over the term of the related financing instruments, which ranged from two to 15 years, were written off as a result of the repayment of the instruments (see Note 7). Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Live Assets - The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144 (FASB 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-live Assets". This standard specifies, among other things, that long-lived assets are to be reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of component parts for the TouchThru(TM) biometric product. Revenue Recognition - Consulting revenues are recognized as the consulting services are provided. Customer deposits received in advance are recorded as liabilities until associated services are completed. During the year ended December 31, 2005 sales to three customers accounted for 91% of total revenues from continuing operations (87% for three customers in 2004) and 92% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 (40% - 2004). Research and Development Costs - All costs related to internal research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense from continuing operations amounted to $318,038 for the year ended December 31, 2005 ($285,659 - 2004) and consists primarily of salaries and related fringe benefits and consulting fees associated with the development of its Touch Thru TM biometric access control product. Income Taxes - The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns. The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", (SFAS 109). Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. F-11 INFINITE GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Earnings Per Share - Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive potential common shares which, in the Company's case, comprise shares issuable under stock options and stock warrants. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of the options and warrants assumed to be exercise. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as of December 31: 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- Numerator: Income available to common stockholders $ 34,146 $ 577,981 =========== =========== Weighted average shares outstanding 19,074,607 15,121,985 =========== =========== Denominator for diluted income per share: Weighted average shares outstanding 19,074,607 15,121,985 Common stock options and stock warrants 1,754,140 947,638 ----------- ----------- Weighted average shares and conversions 20,828,747 16,069,623 =========== =========== 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its term debt and notes payable, the fair value approximates its carrying amount. Stock Based Compensation - The Company accounts for its employee stock option plans under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized for the excess of the fair market value of the Company's common stock over the exercise price. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) the Company discloses the summary of proforma effects to reported net income (loss) and income (loss) per share for 2005 and 2004, as if the Company had elected to recognize compensation costs based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date (Note 11). Stock options and warrants issued to non-employees are recognized as compensation expense based on the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily determinable. F-12 INFINITE GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". This Statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. We anticipate that this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment," or SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) revises FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the Company's first quarter of 2006. The Company will be adopting SFAS No. 123(R) beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2006. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) will apply to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date must be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. These new accounting rules will lead to a decrease in reported earnings. The Company has evaluated the potential impact from adopting this statement and believes it is not material for the options presently outstanding. Reclassification - The Company reclassifies certain prior year amounts to conform with the current year's presentation. NOTE 4. - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Photonics - On October 30, 2002, the Company's IP subsidiary received a Notice of Termination of its DARPA contract. The contract was terminated for the government's convenience under the clause entitled Termination, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.249.6. The DARPA contract had provided substantially all of the revenue of the Company's IP Subsidiary. As a result of the termination, management decided to suspend the activities of the Photonics Group and liquidate the remaining assets. At December 31, 2004, IP had approximately $206,000 in assets of discontinued operations along with an aggregate of approximately $217,000 of liabilities of discontinued operations. During 2005, the Company completed winding down the operations, which resulted in income from discontinued operations of approximately $12,000 ($147,000 - 2004) which is included in the income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of income.

("LFI") relating to the purchase by LFI of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of LF relating to the laser engraving and medical products manufacturing and assembly businesses of LF (the "Purchase Agreement"). The principals of LFI are former employees of LF, including the former chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. The purchase price for the assets was assumed liabilities of LF and/or the Company. On December 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the remaining assets, including the assumption of certain liabilities, to an affiliate of LFI, relating to all the remaining laser businesses of LF. The purchase price was the assumed liabilities of LF plus the issuance of several notes by the buyer to LF. During the year ended December 31, 2004, LF had income from operations of approximately $493,000 and a loss on disposal of approximately $224,000 which are included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of income. In accordance with FASB 144, the disposal of the Photonics and Laser segments have been accounted for as a disposal of business segments and accordingly, the assets and liabilities for IP and LF have been segregated from continuing operations in the accompanying 2004 consolidated balance sheet and classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The operating results for the segments are segregated and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying 2005 and 2004 consolidated statements of income and cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 11. - STOCK OPTION PLANS - CONTINUED B. Directors' Stock Option Plan In April 1993, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company adopted a non-discretionary outside directors' stock option plan that provides for the grant to non-employee directors of non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock. Under this plan, each non-employee director was granted 7,500 options upon becoming a director and 5,000 each year thereafter on the date of the Company's annual stockholders' meeting. The options vest over a two-year service period. There was no annual stockholders' meeting during 2004 and 2005, therefore, there were no options granted under this plan during these years. During 2005, 500 options expired. During 2004, 17,500 options were forfeited as a result of a Director resigning from the Board. At December 31, 2005, there were 41,500 (42,000 in 2004) options outstanding to directors under this plan, of which all were exercisable (37,000 were exercisable in 2004). These options are exercisable at prices ranging from $.10 to $7.80 per share. The options expire at various dates from 2005 to 2013. No new options are issuable under the terms of this plan. Options with the same terms are issuable to directors under the 1999 Plan. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 - "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation cost for stock option grants under fixed awards. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) and income (loss) per share from continuing operations would have increased (decreased) as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, ---------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------ ----------- Net income - as reported (000's) $ 34 $ 578 Total stock based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value method for all awards (000's) (295) (27) ------------ ----------- Net income (loss) - pro forma (000's) $ (261) $ 551 ============ =========== Basic: Income per share as reported $ .00 $ .04 ============ =========== Income (loss) per share pro forma $ (.01) $ .04 ============ =========== Diluted: Income per share as reported $ .00 $ .04 ============ =========== Income (loss) per share pro forma $ (.01) $ .03 ============ =========== F-25 INFINITE GROUP, INC.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenues Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. At December 31, 2005, a net deferred tax asset, representing the future benefit attributed primarily to the available net operating loss carryforwards, in the amount of approximately $10,286,000, had been fully offset by a valuation allowance because management believes that the regulatory limitations on utilization of the operating losses and concerns over achieving profitable operations diminish the Company's ability to demonstrate that it is more likely than not that these future benefits will be realized before they expire.

Participants could defer up to 20% of their compensation each year up to the dollar limit set by the Internal Revenue Code. LF's contribution to the profit-sharing plan was discretionary. During 2004, a discretionary contribution of $15,600 was made to the profit-sharing plan. Retirement Plan - The Company offers a simple IRA plan as a retirement plan for eligible employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan if they earn at least $5,000 of compensation from the Company during the year. Eligible employees may contribute a percentage of their compensation up to a maximum of $10,000 for the year. The Company can elect to make a discretionary contribution to the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company elected to make a matching contribution equal to the employee's contribution up to a limit of 3% of the employee's compensation for the year. The Company match for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $41,685 ($38,725 - 2004.) F-27 INFINITE GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 13. - EMPLOYEE PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS - CONTINUED Defined Benefit Plan - The Company has a contributory defined benefit pension plan that covered all salaried and hourly employees at O&W that were scheduled to work at least 1,000 hours per year. During the year ended December 31, 2001 the Company discontinued the operations of O&W but retained the obligation to fund the plan into the future. The termination of the employees' services earlier than expected resulted in a plan curtailment, accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards Statement 88 in 2001. No future benefits will be earned by plan participants. However, the plan remains in existence and continues to pay benefits as participants qualify and receive contributions. The Company's policy is to fund pension costs accrued subject to the Company's available cash to make such contributions. Net periodic pension expense includes the following components: For the Years Ended December 31, ------------------------ 2005 2004 --------- --------- Interest cost $ 315,360 $ 338,627 Expected return on plan assets (305,919) (293,553) Actuarial loss 109,357 116,472 --------- --------- Total pension expense $ 118,798 $ 161,546 ========= ========= The following sets forth the funded status of the plan and the amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets: 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- Projected benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 5,687,611 $ 5,811,249 Interest cost 315,360 338,627 Actuarial loss (gain) 131,358 (60,091) Benefits paid (413,193) (402,174) ----------- ----------- Benefit obligation at end of year 5,721,136 5,687,611 Plan assets at fair value: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 3,510,324 3,621,035 Actual return of plan assets 127,918 367,617 Employer contributions 181,439 -- Benefits paid (413,193) (402,174) Expenses paid (90,964) (76,154) ----------- ----------- Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 3,315,524 $ 3,510,324 =========== =========== F-28 INFINITE GROUP, INC.

Assets in the trust fund are held for the sole benefit of participating former employees and retirees. They are comprised of corporate equity securities and guaranteed investment contracts sponsored by an insurance company. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption (EROA) is determined from the plan's asset allocation using historical returns and surveys of other reporting company's rate of return assumptions. The discount rate assumption is based on published pension liability indices. The investment strategy is to manage the assets of the plan to generate sufficient returns to meet the long-term liabilities while maintaining adequate liquidity to pay current benefits. This strategy is implemented by holding equity investments while investing a portion of the assets in guaranteed investment contracts to match the long-term nature of the liabilities. In March 2005, the Company filed with the IRS a funding waiver application requesting waivers of the minimum funding standard for the 2005 plan year of $513,551 and for the 2004 and prior plan years of $979,328 and is awaiting the response from the IRS. The Company made contributions in 2005 of $6,439 and 500,000 shares of its common stock which were valued at $175,000 at the date of contribution. Such contributions did not satisfy the minimum funding requirements for 2005. The Company did not make any contributions for the year ended December 31, 2004, although it was required to make minimum required contributions based upon IRS rules. The Company does not anticipate making any contributions to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2006. F-29 INFINITE GROUP, INC.

The segments were determined based on differences in products, production processes and internal reporting. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company decided to discontinue the operation of its Photonics Group and liquidated its remaining assets as a result of its major customer canceling their contract. During 2002, the Company operated the Laser Group and during the forth quarter of 2003, decided to sell substantially all of the assets and liabilities of LF. During 2003, the Company reclassified all of the assets and certain liabilities of its Laser Group as held for sale. Also, in 2003 the Company started a new business focusing in the field of information technology consulting and integration and concentrating on the emerging area of biometric technology as a complement to that effort (Note 2). Beginning in 2003, the Company's business is organized, managed and internally reported as one segment, the IT Services Group. F-32 INFINITE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 17. - FORMER LITIGATION At December 31, 2005, the Company was not subject to litigation. Previously, the Company was involved in litigation as follows. The Company was the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed on April 22, 2005 in the Supreme Court, State of New York, captioned Infinite Group, Inc. v. Mark Ackley and Ackco, Inc. In this action, the Company alleged that Mr. Ackley, its former chief operations officer and director of business development, breached his contractual and fiduciary obligations to the Company by causing a company he controls to enter into a consulting arrangement with and perform services for another firm while employed by us. The Company terminated Mr. Ackley's employment for cause on March 11, 2005. The Company also alleged that Mr. Ackley violated his non-compete obligations contained in his employment agreement. In 2005, the parties agreed to settle all claims to avoid the expense and time of litigation. As part of the settlement, the Company was released of certain obligations to Mr. Ackley. The parties executed mutual releases. The former employee surrendered to the Company 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock that he owned, which was recorded at fair value of $175,000 at the date of the settlement agreement. The shares were contributed to the O&W Retirement Plan. In addition, as part of the settlement, the Company was released of certain liabilities owed to Mr. Ackley in the amount of $25,000. The settlement resulted in a gain of $191,739, net of related expenses, and has been recorded as a gain on settlement in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The Company was the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court, State of Rhode Island on August 13, 1999 captioned Infinite Group, Inc. vs. Spectra Science Corporation and Nabil Lawandy. In the action, the Company asserted that by fraud and in breach of fiduciary duties owed, Spectra and its president, Nabil Lawandy, caused the Company to sell to Spectra shares of Spectra's Series A Preferred stock at a substantial discount to fair market value. The Company alleged that in entering into the transaction it relied on various representations made by Spectra and Mr. Lawandy, which were untrue at the time they were made. The trial was completed in February 2005, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company in the amount of approximately $600,000. The Company appealed the amount of the verdict and entered into a settlement with the defendants in January 2006. As a result the Company received and recorded other income of approximately $500,000, net of legal fees and expenses, in the first quarter of 2006. The Company was the respondent in an arbitration proceeding filed on December 10, 2002 captioned J. Terrence Feeley v. Infinite Group, Inc. The Claimant, a former employee of the Company and former member of the Company's board of directors, alleged that the parties entered into a consulting agreement dated June 27, 2002 relative to the early termination of Claimant's employment requiring certain cash payments to be made. Claimant alleged that the Company had failed to make such cash payments and had breached the agreement and sought all monies owed to him, in an amount alleged to be $130,000. The Company and the Claimant settled the matter in the fourth quarter of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company recorded a gain on settlement with the terminated employee of approximately $99,000 in the accompanying 2005 consolidated statement of income when it adjusted the carrying amounts of the related liabilities to actual. The Company also authorized the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock in connection with the settlement agreement valued at $7,500, which was based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the settlement agreement.
