PART I Item 1. Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisers Not Applicable Item 2. Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable Not Applicable Item 3. Key information. Operations ICTS International, N.V., including its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as "ICTS" or "the Company"), is a provider of aviation security and other aviation related services through service contracts with airline companies, airport authorities and governments. In 2002, one of the company's subsidiaries, Huntleigh USA Corporation ("Huntleigh") derived a substantial portion of its revenues from providing aviation security services to the United States Transportation Security Administration ("TSA"). Commencing November 2002, the Company ceased providing such services to the TSA but continues to provide such services to aviation companies and others outside the U.S. Discontinued Operations In December 2005, the Company's management decided to cease two of its segments operations and to focus on the main core business of the company; the aviation security activities and aviation related services. Following the decision, the Company ceased its operations in the Leasing and Entertainment segments. The leased equipment was sold to the lessee and the entertainment sites were closed as of December 31, 2005. Selected Financial Data Selected Consolidated Statements of Income Data set forth below have been derived from ICTS Consolidated Financial Statements which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Selected Consolidated Financial Data set forth below should be read in conjunction with Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and ICTS Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to those financial statements included in Item 18 in this Annual Report. The data reflects the results of operations and net assets of continuing operations, while details of the discontinued operations are presented separately.

Risk Factors. You should carefully consider the risks described below regarding the business and the ownership of our shares. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected, and the price of our common stock could decline significantly. Developments that have had a significant impact on our operations. One major event in 2001 and early 2002 significantly changed our business operations: the passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (the "Security Act") by the United States Congress in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, pursuant to which the Federal Government through the TSA took over aviation security services in the U.S. in November 2002. As a result of this event, we have limited aviation security operations in the U.S. If we are unable to increase revenues from aviation security services, our financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. If we are unsuccessful in resolving our disagreements with the TSA, there may be a significant material adverse effect on our financial condition. In February 2002, we entered into an aviation security services contract with the TSA to continue to provide aviation security services in all of our current airport locations until the earlier of either the completed transition of these security services on an airport by airport basis to the U.S. Federal Government or November 2002. In connection with payments made by the TSA to Huntleigh USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for aviation security services provided in 2002, the Defense Contract Management Agency has indicated that it believes that Huntleigh should not have been paid on a fixed price basis as believed by Huntleigh, but on an actual costs plus basis, what the TSA would consider a reasonable profit. On that later basis, Huntleigh may be required to repay to the TSA the difference between such amount and the actual amounts paid to it. Huntleigh, however, has various claims for additional amounts it considers are due to it for the services provided to the TSA. If the TSA will claim such difference from Huntleigh and will prevail in all of its contentions, and none of Huntleigh's claims will be recognized, then the Company may suffer a loss in an amount of about $59 million. The Company is engaged in litigation with the FAA/TSA. No provisions have been made by the Company with respect to the above potential claims. Claim for Loss of Business. The Security Act provides that all aviation security services in the U.S. will be handled by the Federal Government through the TSA. As a result of the passage of the Security Act the TSA took over aviation security in the U.S. since the end of 2002. Our failure to be able to meet the TSA's requirements or to secure contracts from the TSA will have a material adverse affect on our business. As a foreign corporation, the Company is not eligible to bid for security service contracts with the TSA. Huntleigh's main business was providing airport security services to airlines and airports but as a result of the creation of the TSA and the requirement that the TSA take over airport security, Huntleigh has lost its principal business. Huntleigh has commenced legal action against the U.S. Government for the "Taking" of its business and to protect its rights under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Huntleigh seeks to recover the going concern value of the lost business. The suit was brought in the U.S Court of Federal Claims. The Court has decided against the Company. The Company appealed this decision and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling against the Company. We face significant potential liability claims. As a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks, numerous lawsuits have been commenced against us and our U.S. subsidiary. The cases arise out of airport security services provided for United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts which crashed into the World Trade Center. In addition, to the present claims, additional claims may be asserted. The outcome of these or additional cases is uncertain. If there is an adverse outcome with respect to any of these claims which is not covered by insurance, then there may be a significant adverse impact on us. We have incurred major losses in recent years. We incurred net losses of approximately $2.6, $14.1, $24.9, $26.0 and $18.9 million in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively. We cannot assure you that we can achieve profitability. The losses were accompanied by net cash -6-
20-F7th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
used in operating activities of $3.6, $7.6, $5.2, $1.2 and $19.3 million in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and at December 31, 2007 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $11.7 million and negative equity of 20.6 million. If we do not achieve new service contracts and profitability, the viability of our company will be in question and our share price will likely decline. Our auditors have expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In its report, our auditors have expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in the accompanying audited financial statements at the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had revenue of $64.8 million and a total loss of $2.6 million as well as a net working capital deficiency and negative equity. We are reliant on loans made by our principal stockholder. Our financing activities have consisted primarily of loans from our principal stockholder. We do not have any other continual commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties. There is no assurance that our principal stockholder will continue making loans to us and even if loans are made, there is no assurance that the terms will be favorable to the Company. IRS Audit. The Company's Subsidiary is currently undergoing an IRS audit for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Should the audit conclude that the Company owes significant funds to the IRS this could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. We are dependent on our key personnel. Our success will largely depend on the services of our senior management and executive personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our operations. Our success will also be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified executive personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract, assimilate and retain personnel with the attributes necessary to execute our strategy. We cannot assure you that one or more of our executives will not leave our employment and either work for a competitor or otherwise compete with us. We will be dependent on major customers. Our contracts with airports or airlines may be canceled or not renewed. Our revenues are primarily provided from services pursuant to contracts, which are cancelable on short notice at any time, with or without cause. We cannot assure you that an existing client will decide not to terminate us or fail to renew a contract. In addition consolidation in the airline industry could also result in a loss of customers. Any such termination or failure to renew a contract with us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. There is a material contract that will expire in 2009 and the Company is in the process of negotiations to renew the contract. If the negotiations will not be in the Company's favor it will have a material affect on the Company's financial results. If our relationship with our major customers is impaired, then there may be a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our major customers consist of the major airlines servicing the United States. Currently our customers' financial results may suffer because of the increase in oil prices which has affected also our situation as service provider. If such airlines encounter financial difficulty this may have a material adverse impact on our business. Our success will be dependent upon our ability to change our business strategy. As part of our new business strategy we intend to develop technological solutions and systems for the aviation security industry, develop or acquire security activities other than aviation security, and seek other revenue producing businesses and business opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop new systems or develop systems that are commercially viable. Our success in developing and marketing our systems will also depend on our ability to adapt to rapid technology changes in the industry and to integrate such changes into our systems. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our attempts to change or implement our business strategy. We may not have the expertise to be successful in developing our business in areas that are not related to the security industry. -7-
20-F8th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
Our failure to change our business strategy or implement it successfully will have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. We compete in a highly competitive industry and our competitors, who may have many more resources than us, may be more successful in developing new technology and achieving market acceptance of their products. Competition in the aviation security industry as well as in the non-security related aviation services industry is intense. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical and marketing resources. We expect that our competitors will develop and market alternative systems and technologies that may have greater functionality or be more cost effective than the services we provide or the systems that we may develop. If our competitors develop such systems we may not be able to successfully market our systems. Even if we are able to develop systems with greater functionality which are more cost effective than those developed by our competitors, we may not be able to achieve market acceptance of our systems because our competitors have greater financial and marketing resources. The aviation security industry is subject to extensive governmental regulation, the impact of which is difficult to predict. The Security Act has had a significant negative impact on our aviation security business. In addition, our ability to successfully market new systems will be dependent upon government regulations over which we have no control. Any existing or new regulation may cause us to incur increased expenses or impose substantial liability upon us. The likelihood of such new legislation is difficult to predict. During 2007 the TSA took over part of Huntleigh's business regarding the ticket checkers. Annual expected loss of revenues is approximately $5 million. The markets for our products and services may be adversely affected by legislation designed to protect privacy rights. From time to time, personal identity databases and technologies utilizing such databases have been the focus of organizations and individuals seeking to curtail or eliminate the use of personal identity information technologies on the grounds that personal information and these technologies may be used to diminish personal privacy rights. In the event that such initiatives result in restrictive legislation, the market for our products may be adversely affected. Our operations are dependent upon obtaining required licenses. A license to operate is required from the airport authority in the airports in which we currently operate. The loss of, or failure to obtain, a license to operate in one or more of such airports could result in the loss of, or the inability to compete for, contracts in the airports in which we have licenses. Litigation. We are currently a plaintiff and defendant in several significant lawsuits, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Our financial condition is subject to currency risk. Part of our income is derived in foreign countries. We generally retain our income in local currency at the location the funds are received. Since our financial statements are presented in United States dollars, any significant fluctuation in the currency exchange rate between such currency and the United States dollar would affect our results of operations and our financial condition. The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which may make it more difficult for you to resell your shares when you want at prices you find attractive. The market price of our common stock may from time to time be significantly affected by a large number of factors, including, among others, variations in our operating results, the depth and liquidity of the trading market for our shares, and differences between actual results of operations and the results anticipated by investors and securities analysts. Many of the factors which affect the market price of our common stock are outside of our control and may not even be directly related to us. As of December 31, 2007, three groups of shareholders, officers and directors own approximately 81.5% of our shares (including options that are in the money and immediately exercisable). Their interests could conflict with yours; significant sales of shares held by them could have a negative effect on our stock price. Mr. Menachem Atzmon, a director and chairman of the board of the Company, as a representative of the Atzmon Family Trust, owns or controls approximately 56% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of such -8-
20-F9th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
ownership, and/or control, the Atzmon Family Trust is able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares controlled by the Atzmon Family Trust or any other main shareholder, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will pay dividends. Although we have paid cash dividends in the past, we cannot assure you that any future dividends will be declared or paid. We are subject to the laws of the Netherlands. As a Netherlands "Naamloze Vennootschap" (N.V.) public limited liability company, we are subject to certain requirements not generally applicable to corporations organized under the laws of jurisdictions within the United States. Among other things, the authority to issue shares is vested in the general meeting of shareholders, except to the extent such authority to issue shares has been delegated by the shareholders or by the Articles of Association to another corporate body for a period not exceeding five years. The issuance of the common shares is generally subject to shareholder preemptive rights, except to the extent that such preemptive rights have been excluded or limited by the general meeting of shareholders (subject to a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes if less than 50% of the outstanding share capital is present or represented) or by the corporate body designated to do so by the general meeting of shareholders or the Articles of Association. Such a designation may only take place if such corporate body has also been designated to issue shares. In this regard, the general meeting of shareholders has authorized our Supervisory Board to issue any authorized and unissued shares at any time up to five years from December 6, 2006, the date of such authorization, and has authorized the Supervisory Board to exclude or limit shareholder preemptive rights with respect to any issuance of common shares prior to such date. Such authorizations may be renewed by the general meeting of shareholders from time to time, for up to five years at a time. This authorization would also permit the issuance of shares in an acquisition, provided that shareholder approval is required in connection with a statutory merger (except that, in certain limited circumstances, the board of directors of a surviving company may resolve to legally merge the company). Shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to shares which are issued against payment other than in cash. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Association and by the laws governing corporations incorporated in the Netherlands. Our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by the Supervisory Board or the Management Board, or their members, or controlling shareholders, than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. Under our Articles of Association, adoption of our annual accounts by the shareholders discharges the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and their members from liability in respect of the exercise of their duties for the particular financial year, unless an explicit reservation is made by the shareholders and without prejudice to the provisions of Netherlands law, including provisions relating to liability of members of supervisory boards and management boards upon the bankruptcy of a company pursuant to the relevant provisions of The Netherlands Civil Code. However, the discharge of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board and their members by the shareholders is not absolute and will not be effective as to matters misrepresented or not disclosed to the shareholders. An individual member of the Supervisory Board or the Management Board who can prove that he is not at fault for such an omission or misrepresentation would not be liable. U.S. judgments may not be enforceable in the Netherlands. A significant number of our activities are located outside the United States. In addition, members of the Management and Supervisory Boards and certain experts named herein are residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to enforce against such persons judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws. There is no treaty between the United States and the Netherlands for the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards) in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the federal securities laws, would not be directly enforceable in the Netherlands. In order to enforce any United States judgment obtained against us, proceedings must be initiated before a court of competent jurisdiction in the Netherlands. A court in the Netherlands will, under current practice, normally issue a judgment incorporating the judgment rendered by the United States court if it finds that (i) the United States court had jurisdiction over the original proceeding, (ii) the judgment was obtained in compliance with principles of due process, (iii) the judgment is final and conclusive and (iv) the judgment does not contravene the public policy or public order of the Netherlands. We cannot assure you that United States -9-

investors will be able to enforce any judgments in civil and commercial matters, including judgments under the federal securities laws against us or members of the Management or Supervisory Board [or certain experts named herein] who are residents of the Netherlands or countries other than the United States. In addition, a court in the Netherlands might not impose civil liability on us or on the members of the Management or Supervisory Boards in an original action predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Netherlands. Item 4. Information on the Company History and Development of the Company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to the "Company" or "ICTS" include ICTS International N.V., and its consolidated subsidiaries. Aviation Security Business. ICTS is a public limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands in 1992. ICTS's offices are located at Biesboch 225, 1181 JC Amstelveen, The Netherlands and its telephone number is +31-20-347-1077. The Company's predecessor, International Consultants on Targeted Security Holland B.V. ("ICTS Holland"), was founded in the Netherlands in 1987. Until 1994, subsidiaries and affiliates of ICTS Holland conducted similar business in which the Company is currently engaged. As of January 1, 1994, ICTS Holland's interest in its subsidiaries (other than three minor subsidiaries) was transferred to ICTS International B.V. ("ICTS International"). Thereafter, ICTS International purchased from a third party all of the outstanding shares of ICTS Holland, incorporated in The Netherlands in 1992 without any operations prior to its acquisition by ICTS International. As of January 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of ICTS International. As of January 1, 1999, the Company acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Huntleigh and in January 2001 the Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining 20% at an agreed upon price formula making Huntleigh a wholly owned subsidiary. Huntleigh is a provider of aviation services and limited security services in the United States. In the wake of the events which occurred on September 11, 2001, the Federal Government of the United States, in November, 2001, enacted the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (the "Security Act") Public Law 107-71. Under the Security Act, entities may provide aviation security services in the United States only if they are owned and controlled at least 75% by U.S. citizens. As a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, ICTS may be unable to comply with the ownership requirements under the Security Act. The Security Act is administered through the TSA. In the fourth quarter of 2002, pursuant to the Security Act, the Federal government through the TSA, took over substantially all of the aviation security operations in U.S. airports. As a result, ICTS, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Huntleigh, provides limited aviation services in the United States. In 2001 and 2002, ICTS sold substantially all of its European operations in two stages, for an aggregate purchase price of $103 million. As a result of the sale, ICTS fully divested itself at that time from its European operations, except for its operations in the Netherlands and Russia. In February 2005, as the non-competition restrictions, related to the sale of the European aviation security operations as mentioned above, expired, the Company made a strategic decision to re-enter the European aviation security market. In March 2005 the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, I-SEC International Security B.V., under which all the European aviation security activities provided by ICTS are operated. Since 2005, the company re-entered the aviation security business in Europe by signing contracts with U.S. carriers. Following these contracts I-SEC established new subsidiaries throughout Europe, in the Netherlands, France, England, Spain, Hungary, Germany and other countries. Leasing Business. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company purchased equipment in the amount of $23.5 million and leased it back to the sellers, an affiliated private Dutch company, for 7 years in an operating lease agreement. In December 2004, ICTS determined that the future cash flows from the leased equipment will not recover its investment and as a result recorded an impairment loss of $2.2 million, in addition to an impairment loss of $6 million that was recorded in 2003. -10-
20-F11th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
In June 2005, the company granted the lessee an option to purchase the equipment for an amount of $5 million, plus an amount equal to a related loan balance. The option was exercised on December 2005, and by that time the leasing activities of the company were terminated. Entertainment Business. On December 23, 2003, the Company, through wholly owned subsidiaries, purchased from ITA International Tourist Attractions, Ltd., ("ITA") (a company under the control of one of ICTS's shareholders) certain assets owned by ITA and used by it in the development, establishment and operation of motion-based entertainment theaters. The assets purchased consist primarily of intangible property and certain equipment. ITA was a company in which a principal shareholder of the Company, at the time, owned in the aggregate in excess of 50% of the shares. The purchase price for the assets purchased was $5.4 million. The purchase price was paid by set-offs against certain debts owed by ITA to the Company, cash and notes. As a part of the transaction, certain agreements made between the Company and ITA in 2001 were terminated, with the result that the Company was no longer committed to involve ITA in its existing and future entertainment projects. Prior to entering into the transaction the Company obtained a fairness opinion as to the fairness of the consideration and the transaction to the Company. Shortly after the facilities were opened, and based on its performances, the Company's management revaluated these investments and determined that the forecasted cash flows from these projects will not cover the investments. Based on the fair value using discounted cash flows model, the Company had recognized impairment losses in 2003 and 2004 totaling $20.8 million with respect to its entertainment investments. In 2005 the Company decided to cease its operations in the entertainment segment. In early 2006, the Company closed its motion-based entertainment theater in Baltimore, MD and its multi-experience motion-based entertainment theater in Atlantic City, NJ. The Company is also a partner (42.5%) in a movie-based entertainment facility in Niagara Falls, NY. No discussion has been made as to whether the Niagara Falls location should be closed as well. Business Overview General ICTS had specialized until 2002 in the provision of aviation security services. Following the taking of its aviation security business in the United States by the TSA in 2002, ICTS engages primarily in non-security related activities in the USA. In addition, ICTS provides non-security related aviation services and develops technological systems and solutions for the security market. ICTS, through I-SEC International Security B.V., supplies aviation security services at airports in Europe. Through Huntleigh it supplies aviation services and limited security services in the USA. Business Strategy ICTS is currently pursuing the following business strategy: Developing Security Related Technology. ICTS is focusing on developing security systems and technology for the aviation security and non-aviation security markets. ICTS is using the know-how and expertise it has acquired in the provision of enhanced aviation security services to develop such security systems and technology. Aviation Security Operations in Europe. ICTS, through I-SEC International Security B.V., supplies aviation security at airports, airlines and governments in Europe. During 2007, I-SEC was hired to provide and extend the security services it provides to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. This contract is for a period of five years and is an important breakthrough for the Company. ICTS NAS had a contract serving one customer which expired in February 2008. ICTS NAS is being liquidated. U.S. Operations. ICTS continues to provide limited security services and non-security aviation services in the U.S. through its subsidiary, Huntleigh. Services Services Offered in Europe. Prior to the sale of its European operations, ICTS primarily provided aviation security services, operated airport checkpoints, verified travel documents, provided baggage reconciliation services, operated -11-
20-F12th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
electronic equipment, such as x-ray screening devices, operated manual devices, consulting services, public transportation, security consulting and training. Following the sale, ICTS primarily provided advanced passenger-screening services in The Netherlands and Russia. With its reentry into the aviation security market, I-SEC International Security B.V. is offering the same types of services as those listed above to interested clients, as well as additional, new services. The Company has completed the initial phase of its re-entry and penetration into the international aviation security market. This phase, executed in parallel to the expansion of the Company's existing operations in the Netherlands and in Russia, includes the establishment of new subsidiaries and the provision of services at international airports in London, UK; Paris, France; Cologne, Germany; Barcelona, Spain; Budapest, Hungary; Edinburgh, Scotland and more. I-SEC is supplying a range of aviation security services and implementing state-of-the-art technologies at these locations within the framework of long-term contracts signed with various airlines. Following this recent expansion, I-SEC is providing services at a total of 16 locations in Europe. Additionally, I-SEC is providing aviation security consulting services at airports in the Asia-Pacific region. Services Offered in the United States. Prior to the enactment of the Security Act, Huntleigh was one of the leading providers of security and non-security aviation services in the United States. Huntleigh currently provides limited aviation security services and other separate services at approximately 32 airports in 25 states. The limited security services provided by Huntleigh involves the following: o Charter Flight Screening for Airlines - which includes security check of passengers' body and carry-on items. o Ticket Checks - check of the boarding authorization of passenger and compares them to passenger ID before allowing the passenger to pass through the checkpoint. This service was provided until the end of 2007 and then it was taken away by the TSA. o Cargo Security Screening - for some international and domestic carriers. Each of the non-security services involves one of the following specific job classifications: Agent Services For Airlines. Agent services include: passenger service, ground handling and baggage service. Although an agent is a Huntleigh employee, the employee is considered a representative of specific airlines. Guard Services. Guard services involve guarding secured areas, including aircraft. Huntleigh provides cleaning services for aircraft cabins. Maintenance. Huntleigh provides that workers maintain equipment in one airport. Aircraft Search. Search of the entire aircraft to detect dangerous objects. Ramp Services. Ramp services include: o directing the aircraft into the arrival gate and from the departure gate o cleaning the aircraft o conducting cabin searches o stocking supplies o de-icing the aircraft and o moving luggage from one airplane to the baggage room and vice versa. -12-
20-F13th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
Shuttle Service. Huntleigh shuttles airline crews from their hotels to the aircraft and vice versa in one airport. Skycap Services Provider. A skycap assists passengers with their luggage. Located at the curbside of the check-in at airports, a skycap checks in passengers' luggage and meets security requirements established by the TSA to screen passengers. A skycap also assists arriving passengers with transporting luggage from the baggage carousel to ground transportation or other designated areas. A skycap also may transport checked baggage from the curbside check-in to the airline counter. Concierge Service involves a skycap monitoring the baggage carousel to ensure that passengers do not remove luggage not belonging to them. In some airports, a skycap at the baggage claim area checks to see if the passengers' luggage tags match those on the specific luggage to ensure that a passenger is only removing his or her own luggage from the claim area. Wheelchair attendants. Wheelchair attendants transport passengers through the airport in airline and/or Company owned wheelchairs and may also operate electric carts for transporting passengers through the airport. Working closely with the attendants are dispatch agents who monitor requests and assignments for wheelchairs and dispatch the attendants as needed. Aviation Security Services. ICTS, through its subsidiary I-SEC International Security, B.V., provides pre-departure screening services at airports in the Netherlands and Russia, as well as London, UK and Paris, France. It also provides aviation security consulting services in the Asia-Pacific region, and has signed new contracts with carriers to supply aviation security services at additional locations. Prior to the enactment of the Security Act, Huntleigh provided such services in the U.S. Such services are designed to prevent or deter the carriage of any explosive, incendiary device, weapon or other dangerous objects into the sterile area of an airport concourse and aboard the aircraft. In 2002 Huntleigh provided such services in the United States exclusively to the TSA. Technological Systems and Solutions. The accumulated know-how and expertise of ICTS in the implementation of computer-based processors for advanced passenger screening enabled ICTS to develop its APS technology and system. The APS system is an automated computerized system that enables the pre-departure analysis of passenger information and is designed to screen airline passengers in a faster and more efficient manner. Technology Initiatives. I-BOX. I-BOX, a unique technological platform developed by the Company, comprises one of the main contributors to operational efficiency. It is an advanced mobile unit that can be implemented with multiple choices of software packages. The I-BOX systems provides an unparalleled level of performance while reducing processing times to a minimum, thus eliminating related delays and avoiding inconvenience to the passengers. The I-BOX system has been deployed successfully in various locations around the world, providing our customers with enhanced security operations. IP@SS. ICTS, through its subsidiaries, ICTS Technologies USA, Inc., launched a trial phase of its IP@SS project in 2003. IP@SS is a technological system integrating various components (Smart Document Reader, biometric unit, smart card unit, rule engine, watch lists and more), which enhances security while accelerating security check processes, thus improving operational efficiency and customer service to passengers. IP@SS operates in compliance with strict confidentiality and privacy standards. Basic and technologically upgraded IP@SS systems were tested within the framework of pilot trials, which were carried out at several airports, including London Gatwick (UK), Newark Liberty (USA), Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (the Netherlands) and Ezeria (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Automated Travel Check. Automated Travel Check is a technologically upgraded version of Travel Doc offered either as software only, or as a complete software and hardware package. It verifies that the passengers' travel documents fully comply with the requirements of countries of destination and transit prior to embarkation, and also facilitates the detection of forged travel documents. Automated Travel Check enhances the level of security, assists in combating illegal immigration and reduces or mitigates associated civil penalties for airlines. -13-

APIS+. APIS+ is a technologically upgraded version of APIS. It facilitates compliance with all requirements of Advance Passenger Information programs implemented by various countries worldwide (USA, Australia, Mexico and more), including the new mandatory Arrival-Departure Record data (Address in the USA). The required data is extracted from passports and a handwritten US address is extracted from the relevant form - through use of advanced proprietary performance-enhancing algorithms. The data is then prepared for transmission to the relevant authorities in the specified format. ICTS's subsidiary, ICTS Technologies USA, Inc. has been authorized to submit APIS data in UN/EDIFACT format to the USA's Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). APIS+ is offered as software only, or a complete software and hardware package. Smart Document reader (SDR). SDR is a proprietary state-of-the-art software solution that automatically extracts data from a variety of standard and non-standard travel documents, ID documents, e-ID documents, driver's licenses, airline boarding passes and various mass transit tickets at extremely high levels of accuracy and speed. SDR also implements various advanced means and proprietary checks to detect forged documents. It comprises a main component in many of the advanced technological systems offered by ICTS through its subsidiary, ICTS Technologies USA, such as IP@SS, Automated Travel Check, APIS+, the Company's solution for banks, and more. Bank Client Security and regulatory Compliance Solution. ICTS, through its subsidiary, I-SEC Technologies B.V., offers a unique front-end solution meeting the banking industry's security and regulatory compliance requirements, including Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, while also ensuring that bank clients are provided with a high level of customer service. Contrary to back-end systems offered by the competitors, our front-end solution incorporates unique features, such as a dynamic questionnaire, developed on the basis of ICTS's numerous years of experience in the detection of suspicious signs and in advanced document checks. Consulting, Auditing and Training. ICTS, through its subsidiary, I-SEC International Security, B.V., provides consulting services to airlines and airports. ICTS recommends the adoption of specified security procedures, develops recruitment and training programs for clients to hire necessary security personnel and works with airport authorities to ensure that they comply with applicable local requirements. ICTS trains airline employees to screen passengers and to perform other security measures through extensive courses and written training manuals. Airline and Airport Customers. In 2007 ICTS had eight main clients, which accounted for 75% of ICTS's aviation services revenues, in over 50 locations worldwide. Leasing Operation. In June 2002, ICTS purchased equipment for an aggregate purchase price of $23.5 million. Pursuant to an operating lease, the equipment was leased related party, a private Dutch company. The lease payments provided for in 2005 totaled 2.3 million Euro (as of December 31, 2005 - $2.8 million) and an option to purchase the equipment after five or seven years based upon the then fair market value. In 2003 and 2004, ICTS determined that the future cash flows from the leased equipment will not recover its investment, and as a result recorded in 2004 and 2003 impairment losses totaling $8 million. The value of the equipment at the option exercise date was based on an external assessment. In June 2005, the Company granted the lessee an option to purchase the leased equipment for an amount of $5 million plus an amount equal to the related loan balance at the exercise date thus providing for the possibility of the early termination of the leasing agreement. As consideration for granting the option, the lessee paid to ICTS advanced lease installments of $1 million. The payment of the purchase price should have been reduced by advance payments on lease installments of $1 million received in July 2005 and an additional advance payment of $500 due in January 2006 covering the lease periods from June 2005 forward. On December 28, 2005, the lessee exercised the option and paid the Company $5 million. As part of the agreement the Company loaned to the lessee 1 million Euro that was repaid by May 2006. The selling of the leasing equipment terminated the leasing activities of ICTS. -14-

Sales. Sales in the U.S. In 2007, 72% of the revenues of ICTS from continuing operations were derived in the U.S. compared to 77% in 2006. Sales in Europe. In 2007, 26% of the revenues of ICTS from continuing operations were derived in Europe compared to 23% in 2006. Contracts for aviation security services in various locations are obtained through competitive bids that are issued by the applicable airport authorities, airlines or agencies. The Company expects that in the next few years, the European activities will grow. Marketing of Security Systems and Technology. ICTS intends to market its technologies by establishing projects with airports and airlines. Competition. Competition in the aviation security industry as well as in the non-security related aviation services industry is intense. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical and marketing resources. We expect that our competitors will develop and market alternative systems and technologies that may have greater functionality or be more cost effective than the services we provide or the systems that we may develop. If our competitors develop such systems we may not be able to successfully market our systems. Even if we are able to develop systems with greater functionality which are more cost effective than those developed by our competitors, we may not be able to achieve market acceptance of our systems because our competitors have greater financial and marketing resources. Aviation Security Regulatory Matters. ICTS aviation security activities are subject to various regulations imposed by authorities and various local and federal agencies having jurisdiction in the serviced area. ICTS, on behalf of its clients, was responsible for adherence to such regulations relating to certain security aspects of their activities. ICTS is also responsible to prevent passengers without proper travel documentation from boarding a flight, thereby avoiding fines otherwise imposed on its clients by immigration authorities. ICTS is subject to random periodic tests by government authorities with regard to the professional level of its services and training. Any failure to pass such a test may result in the loss of a contract or a license to perform services or a fine or both. In the airports in which ICTS operates, a license to operate is required from the respective airport authority. ICTS currently holds the licenses required to operate in such locations. In order for ICTS to engage in aviation security activities in the U.S. it may be necessary for ICTS to demonstrate that it meets the TSA requirement of being at least 75% owned and controlled by U.S. citizens. Organizational Structure. The following are the significant subsidiaries of ICTS as of December 31, 2007. (Exhibit 8): ICTS USA, Inc. (New York - 100%). Huntleigh USA Corporation. (Missouri - 100%). I-SEC Technologies B.V. (the Netherlands - 100%) and its subsidiaries (100%). I-SEC International Security B.V. (The Netherlands - 100%) and its subsidiaries (100%). Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company leases premises under long-term operating leases, in most cases with renewal options. Lease expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $1,191, $1,217 and $849, respectively. -15-
20-F16th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
Future minimum lease payments under long-term leases from continued operations are as follows: Year -------- 2008 697 2009 699 2010 653 2011 305 2012 78 ------ $2,432 ====== During 2002, subsidiaries from the Entertainment segment signed rent contracts for 17 years. As of December 2005, the company decided to discontinue the operations of the Entertainment segment. The Company has an accrual for future rent, regarding its discontinued Entertainment operations. The total accruals as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $8,530 and $10,125, respectively. The accruals have been updated according to the legal claims of the landlord against the Company. Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects Operating Results General This section contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning ICTS's business, operations and financial condition. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this annual report on Form 20-F regarding ICTS's strategy, future operations, financial position, costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this annual report on Form 20-F the words "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F. ICTS cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 20-F represent management's expectations as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F and should not be relied upon as representing ICTS's expectations as of any other date. Subsequent events and developments will cause management's expectations to change. However, while ICTS may elect to update these forward-looking statements, ICTS specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its expectations change. ICTS had specialized, until 2002, in the provision of aviation security services. Following the sale of its European operations in 2002 and the taking of its aviation security business in the United States by the TSA in 2002, ICTS engages primarily in the U.S. in non-security related activities. These activities consist of non-security aviation security services and the development of technological services. In addition, ICTS provides non-security related aviation services and develops technological systems and solutions for the security market. ICTS also was engaged in certain other activities, including constructing and developing entertainment related projects. In the fourth quarter of 2002, pursuant to the Security Act, the Federal Government, through the TSA, took over substantially all of the aviation security operations in U.S. airports. As a result, ICTS through its wholly owned subsidiary Huntleigh USA Corp. ("Huntleigh") provides limited aviation security services in the United States. In 2001 and 2002 ICTS sold substantially all of its European operations in two stages, for an aggregate purchase price of $103 million. As a result of the sale, and because of non-competition restrictions in the sale agreement, ICTS has fully divested itself at that time from its European operations, except for its operations in the Netherlands and Russia. In February 2005, as the non-competition restrictions expired, the company made a strategic decision to re-enter the European aviation security market. Since then the company has signed contracts throughout Europe with U.S. carriers and has established subsidiaries in different locations. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of ICTS's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect -16-
20-F17th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. ICTS bases its judgments on its experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Please refer to Note 2 to ICTS's consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a summary of ICTS's significant accounting policies. Discontinued Operations: 1) On December 28, 2005 the Company sold its lease equipment to the lessee and terminated its business in the Lease segment. The loss associated with the selling of the equipment totaled to $4,774. 2) After reviewing the financial results of the Entertainment segment, the Company decided in December 2005 to cease operations. As a result of this decision, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company accrued $8,530 and $10,125, respectively, for future rent regarding its Entertainment locations. The amounts were accrued according to claims the landlord prosecuted against the Company, and which are under litigation. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No.144 of the Financial Accounting Standard Board of the United States (the "FASB"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" in a case of discontinued operations there has to be a separation in the Financial Statements between continuing operations and the discontinued operations - see note 2(u) in the financial statements. Following this statement, all the amounts that represent the discontinued operations were presented separately from the continuing operations, including the comparative numbers of the previous years. Goodwill As of January 1, 2002, pursuant to FAS No.142 of the FASB, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill is no longer amortized but rather is tested for impairment annually. The Company has designated December 31 of each year as the date on which it will perform its annual goodwill impairment test. On December 31, 2003, an impairment test was conducted on the unamortized goodwill pursuant to which it was determined that, as of the date of the impairment test, an impairment existed concerning Demco of $797,000. In 2004, as a result of the impairment of the Entertainment projects, management wrote-off the goodwill related to the Entertainment acquisition of $5.3 million. At December 31, 2007 goodwill was $314 and reflects the excess of the purchase price of subsidiaries acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were no additional goodwill write-offs. Changes in the fair value of the reporting units following material changes in the assumptions as to the future cash flows and/or discount rates could result in an unexpected impairment charge to goodwill. Functional and reporting currency As of January 1, 2002, the functional currency of ICTS and its U.S. operations is the U.S. Dollar because substantial revenues and operating costs are in dollars. Prior to January 1, 2002, the functional currency was primarily the Euro. The financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the Dollar are translated into Dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in FAS No. 52 of the FASB. Assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies to dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when services are rendered to customers, which are performed based on terms contracted in a contractual arrangement provided the fee is fixed and determinable, the services have been rendered and collection of the related receivable is probable. Impairment in value of long-lived assets ICTS has adopted FAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", effective January 1, 2002. FAS 144 requires that long-lived assets, held and used by an entity, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Under FAS 144, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than -17-

the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets would be written down to their estimated fair values. On December 31, 2003, an impairment test was conducted on the carrying value of long-lived assets of the Company pursuant to which it was determined that, as of the date of the impairment test, the impairment existed in connection with equipment at Explore's facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Atlantic City, New Jersey in the amount of $7.5 million and leased equipment of $6 million (all of which are discontinued operations). As a result, an impairment loss totaling $13.5 million was recognized. During 2004, impairment tests were conducted on the carrying amount of the long-lived assets of the Company pursuant to which it was determined that, as of the date of the impairment test, an impairment existed in connection with the leased equipment in an amount of $2 million and with the entertainment sites in the amount of $8.1 million (all of which are discontinued operations). As a result, an impairment loss totaled to $10.1 million was recognized. Contract with the TSA In February 2002, we entered into an aviation security services contract with the TSA to continue to provide aviation security services in all of its current airport locations until the earlier of either the completed transition of these security services on an airport by airport basis to the U.S. Federal Government or November 2002. In connection with payments made by the TSA to Huntleigh USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for aviation security services provided in 2002, the Defense Contract Management Agency has indicated that it believes that Huntleigh should not have been paid on a fixed price basis as believed by Huntleigh, but on an actual costs plus what the TSA would consider a reasonable profit. On that later basis, Huntleigh may be required to repay to the TSA the difference between such amount and the actual amounts paid to it. Huntleigh, however, has various claims for additional amounts it considers are due to it for the services provided to the TSA. As of December 31, 2006, the accounts receivable trade included $2.9 million due from the TSA. As of December 31, 2007, this amount was re-classified as long term receivable. The Company estimates that if the TSA will claim such difference from Huntleigh and will prevail in all of its contentions, and none of Huntleigh's claims will be recognized, then the Company may suffer a loss in an amount of about $59 million. In view of the nature of the above potential claims and counter-claims, management could not determine if, or to what extent, the TSA may be successful in any claim it may assert. Therefore, no provisions have been made by the Company with respect to the above potential claims. Labor Department Issue In a letter dated November 21, 2003, the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") advised Huntleigh that it had failed to comply with a clause included in its contract with the TSA under which Huntleigh had supposedly been required to pay its employees certain minimum wages. In March 2006, the DOL filed a complaint against Huntleigh stating that the underpayments amounted to $7.1 million. This complaint was amended to $17.5 million by adding fringe benefits. During 2007, the claim of the DOL has been settled for $3 million payable out of any settlement with the TSA. A long term receivable of $2.9 million and a long term liability of $3 million regarding this settlement are shown in the 2007 consolidated financials. Legal Proceedings As a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks, numerous lawsuits have commenced against Huntleigh and ICTS. Huntleigh and ICTS have been named in approximately 64 and 61 lawsuits, respectively. All of the cases were filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The cases arise out of Huntleigh's airport security service for United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. All of the cases involve wrongful death except 16 which involve property damage. The cases are in their early stages with depositions having begun on September 12, 2006. A number of these cases have been settled or are in the process of being settled or dismissed at no cost to the Company. Although these are the only claims brought against Huntleigh and ICTS with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Huntleigh and ICTS anticipate additional related claims. See "Risk Factors-Potential For Liability Claims." Under current legislation Huntleigh has its liability limited to the amount of insurance coverage that it carries. The legislation applies to Huntleigh, but not ICTS. The Company has commenced an action against the U.S. Government with regard to the Fifth Amendment rights relating to the taking of its business. In December 2004 the Court denied the Government's motion to dismiss the case. A -18-

motion for reconsideration was filed by the defendant and denied. The trial for this action has been held and the court has decided against the Company. The Company appealed the decision. In May 2008 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has affirmed the lower court's ruling against the Company. The Company was in dispute with Fraport A.G. International Airport Services Worldwide in relation to alleged unlawful use of the letter combination "ICTS" by the Company. Fraport initiated proceedings before the district court of Amsterdam. The principal amount claimed is 57.65 million Euros ($68.1 million as of December 31, 2005). During 2008, this dispute has been settled without any liability to the Company. In September 2005, Avitecture, Inc, (f/k/a Audiovisual-Washington, Inc.) ("Avitecture"), filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against ITA-Atlantic City, LLC ("ITA") with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated March 20, 2003, ITA owes Avitecture $222 for audio, video and control systems it provided for ITA's use in a tourist attraction in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but for which Avitecture claims it has not been paid. The case was decided against the Company in an arbitration proceeding awarding Avitecture $194 plus arbitration costs of $6. In November 2005, Turner Construction Company ("Turner") filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against Explore Atlantic City, LLC ("Explore") with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated October 28, 2003, Explore owes Turner $948 for work and/or services performed pursuant to the contract, but for which Explore has not paid Turner. The arbitrator awarded Turner $956 plus interest and costs, which award was affirmed on appeal. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $956 and $970 were accrued, respectively. On or about October 9, 2007, Explore filed a suggestion of bankruptcy with the New Jersey Superior Court. The Court thereafter stayed the proceedings and dismissed the action without prejudice as a result of the bankruptcy filing. To date, Turner has not moved to re-instate or reopen the case. In December 2005, Barlo & Associates ("Barlo") filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against Explore with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated April 16, 2002, Explore owes Turner $21 for architectural work and/or services performed pursuant to the contract, but for which Explore has not paid Barlo. This matter has been settled for $10. The TSA filed with the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition ("ODRA") a contract dispute in connection with the contract entered into in February 2002 by Huntleigh seeking reimbursement of an alleged overpayment of principal in the amount of $59.2 million. This claim follows the lawsuit which Huntleigh has already filed against the TSA for its breaches of its contract with Huntleigh. Both claims are now pending in mediation. Huntleigh intends to vigorously challenge the TSA's claim which it asserts is devoid of any factual or legal merit. The TSA's filing comes on the heels of a recent decision by ODRA granting Huntleigh's motion for partial summary judgment against the TSA. ODRA has granted Huntleigh's motion for partial summary judgment on Huntleigh's claim that the TSA breached the contract by failing to give appropriate notice for transitioning airport locations. A separate hearing will be held to determine the amount of damages due to Huntleigh on this claim. With regards to the claim for the $59.2 million overpayment, Huntleigh has filed a motion to dismiss the action which has been denied. In 2005 the Company's subsidiary ICTS USA, Inc. filed a refund claim with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in an amount in excess of $2.4 million which was to be reflected on the December 31, 2005 year end financial statements as a receivable. The refund had not been received by the Company. The Company made a demand to the IRS for the refund. Thereafter, by letter dated August 15, 2006, the Company was advised that a criminal investigation by the United States Department of Justice, Tax Division is ongoing by a grand jury regarding possible criminal tax violations by the subsidiary for the tax years 2002 and 2003 regarding certain royalty payment made to the Company. In January 2008, the Company was advised that the current investigation was withdrawn, and the Company received the $2.5 million refund and $373 of interest. In January 2008 a judgment in the amount of $2,559, was awarded in favor of the landlord and against ITA Baltimore and ICTS International, N.V. The Company has filed an appeal against this judgment. The Atlantic City litigation was reopened in state court in January 2008 and is still on-going. The amount claimed against ITA is $5,970. Deposition discovery is about to commence. -19-

The following table sets forth, for the annual periods indicated, certain statement of operations data as a percentage of revenues: Year Ended December 31, --------------------------- 2007 2006 2005 ---- ---- ---- Revenues ........................................ 100% 100% 100% Cost of revenues................................. 80.9% 90.9% 93.1% Gross profit..................................... 19.1% 9.1% 6.9% Selling, general and administrative expenses..... 20.6% 24.5% 20.3% Operating loss................................... (1.5)% (15.4)% (13.3)% Loss from continuing operations.................. (12.3)% (16.2)% (19.6)% Income (Loss) from discontinued operations....... 8.4% (7.0)% (23.5)% Loss for the year................................ (3.9)% (23.1)% (43.1)% Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006 (U.S. Dollars in thousands unless otherwise indicated) The following information represents only the results of the Company from continuing operations unless mentioned otherwise. Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $64,780 (2006: $60,791), consisted of $46.7 million (2006: $46.8 million) from U.S. operations, $7.6 million (2006: $7.2 million) from operations in the Netherlands, $4.8 million (2006: $3.4 million) from operations in France and $5.7 million (2006: $3.3 million) from other operations. The increase in other operations is because of the penetration of I-SEC into new countries in Europe. ICTS expects that the revenues from the European activities will grow materially in the next few years. Almost all revenues in the U.S. are derived from non aviation security services. Gross Profit. Gross Profit is defined as revenues less costs directly related to such revenues as well as certain indirect expenses such as airport offices, airport fees, local training and other direct labor related expenses. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $12.4 million, 19.1% as a percentage of revenue (2006: $5.5 million, 9.1% as a percentage of revenue). The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributed to an amount of $4.3 million reducing the cost of revenue of 2007 with regards to the agreement of the Company with the DOL. In previous years, the Company accrued an amount of $7.3 million liability for the DOL claim. During 2007, the Company has reached an agreement with the DOL of which its maximum exposure will be $3 million, payable after the Company will reach a settlement with the TSA. Following this agreement, the Company decreased its cost of revenue by $4.3 million. The gross profit excluding the deduction of this amount totaled $8.1 million, 12.5% as a percentage of revenue comparing to 9.1% in 2006. The additional change was achieved mainly based on the increase of the security operations in Europe during 2007, which has a higher margin associated with the service provided. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, 20.6% as a percentage of revenues, as compared to $14.9 million, 24.5% as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006. This amount includes $880 legal expenses regarding the "taking case" and the TSA litigation compared to $3.5 million in 2006. The increase in the SG&A expenses after the deduction of the legal expenses ($12.4 million in 2007 compared to $11.4 in 2006) was generated mainly from the increase in the SG&A expenses from the security operations in Europe which grew $1.8 million in 2007 following the increase of the revenues of the European activities. The 2007 SG&A expense also includes $1.1 million expense regarding potential penalties resulting from the IRS audit for the years 2002-2004. Operating Loss. Operating Loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $955 compared to operating loss of $9.4 million in 2006. Financial Expenses. Financial expenses-net were $3,334 (compared to $714 in 2006). The Financial expenses included in 2007 an expense of $2,179 estimated accrued interest regarding possible tax exposure in the U.S. for previous -21-
20-F22nd Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
years. Interest expenses to related party totaled $285 in 2007 compared to $88 in 2006. The interest is calculated according to the loan terms - Libor plus 1.5%. The outstanding loan as of December 31, 2007 was $6,528 compared to $2,652 in 2006. During 2007, the interest expenses from the European activities totaled $189 compared to $30 in 2006. The increase was mainly attributed to the financing needs of the Company for the expansion of its operation by using its credit line. Other Income (Expenses), Net. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $(246) compared to $1,241 in 2006. Gain from sale of investments totaled $349 in 2007 compared to $576 in 2006. During 2007 the Company has fully impaired its investment in Plan Graphics which totaled $600. In 2006 the Company recognized a profit of $665 regarding deposits that were fully accrued in the past related to the Bilu investment and were paid back to the Company. Taxes on Income. Taxes expenses in 2007 totaled $966 compared to $846 in 2006. The Company expensed an additional amount of $659 regarding the 2002-2004 IRS audit. Share in Losses of Associated Companies. The Company's share in losses of associated companies during 2007 totaled $2.5 million compared to $132 in 2006. The Company had 50% in the partnership ICTS Netherlands Airport Services VOF (NAS). The partnership had one contract with Schiphol airport, which was to terminate on February 1, 2008. The partnership is in the process of liquidation during 2008. During 2007, ICTS recognized losses of $2.2 million which include an impairment of $332, compared to profit of $1.3 million in 2006. The Company recognized losses of $284 in 2007 from its investment in InkSure, compared to the $1.4 million in 2006. The net value of this investment in the company's financials as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $0 and $289, respectively. Loss From Continuing Operations. ICTS's loss from continuing operations total in 2007, $8 million compared to $9.8 million in 2006. Loss From Discontinued Operations. ICTS's profit from discontinued operations in 2007 totaled $5.4 million compared to loss of $4.2 million in 2006. During 2006 the Company expensed a receivable from the IRS of $2.5 million following a criminal investigation of the IRS against the Company. ICTS filed a complaint against the IRS in the U.S. District Court and the complaint was dismissed. In the beginning of 2008 the criminal investigation was removed and the refund was paid to the Company with interest of $373. Against the Company there are a few legal claims outstanding regarding its discontinued operations. The Company has fully accrued for the claims of the landlord regarding the two sites of the Entertainment operations. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the total accruals were $8.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The change of $1.6 million on the accruals was done based on the change in the claims. Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, ICTS's losses amounted $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $14.1 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2006. As for geographical segments, see note 19 in the financial statement. Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005 (U.S. Dollars in thousands unless otherwise indicated) The following information represents only the results of the company from continuing operations unless mentioned otherwise. Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $60.8 million (2005: $57.7 million), and consisted of $46.8 million (2005: $48.3 million) from U.S. operations, and $13.9 million (2005: $9.4 million) from other operations. The reduction in revenues in the USA is mainly due to the Company's decision to terminate some unprofitable contracts in its Huntleigh subsidiary. The increase of revenues from other operations is mainly because of the successful penetration of the I-SEC group into the European aviation security market. Almost all revenues in the U.S. are derived from other than aviation security services. Gross Profit. Gross profit is defined as revenues less costs directly related to such revenues as well as certain indirect expenses such as airport offices, airport fees, local training and other direct labor related expenses such as uniforms and transportation. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $5.5 million, 9.1%, as a percentage of revenue (2005: $4.0 million, 6.9% as a percentage of revenue). The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable -22-
20-F23rd Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 23rd
to the fact that the gross profit for the year 2006 is influenced from new activities in Europe with higher profitability, improving and reducing operational expenses and termination of unprofitable contracts in the USA. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, 24.5% as a percentage of revenues, as compared to $11.7 million, 20.3% percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. Of the increase, approximately $1.2 million is from the European operations, as part of the establishment of new subsidiaries and new operations. $0.5 million related to stock based compensation, which is being expensed starting in 2006 (see note 2 in the Financial Statements). During 2006 legal expenses regarding the "taking case" totaled approximately $3 million compared to $1.3 million in 2005. The reason for the increase is the preparations for trial which took place in February 2007. The amortization expense increased of $423 relating to accrued amortization of Procheck's intangible assets and their life term due to the high competition in the security market in the Netherlands and the fact the contract with Schiphol will be over on 2008 and the renewal is uncertain. Operating Loss. Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $9.4 million as compared to an operating loss of $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Financial Expenses. Financial expenses-net in 2006 were $714 compared to $908 in 2005. The decrease during 2006 versus 2005 is that in 2005 the Company included one-time losses of $576 from securities of an unaffiliated company in its financial expense. During 2006 the Company paid approximately $150 more interest and fees regarding its line of credit in Huntleigh and accrued $88 interest (Libor +1.5%) to related party. Exchange rate income for the years 2006 and 2005 totaled $96 and $382, respectively. Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,241 compared to $147 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Other income in 2006 increased because of gains from sales of investments totaling an amount of $576. Guarantees provided to Bilu in the past against cash deposits were fully accrued in previous years. During 2007, $665 of those guarantees were cancelled and paid back to the Company and are included in other income. Taxes On Income. In 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded tax expenses of $846 attributable mainly to tax accruals regarding tax years 2002 and 2003. The tax updates are based on our tax advisors opinion of the exposure, mainly regarding royalties that Huntleigh paid at those years and that might not be recognized by the tax authorities. Share in Losses of Associated Companies. There was a $132 loss in 2006 as compared to a loss of $486 for the year ended December 2005. The high loss is according to our investments in Inksure (our part in loss of 1.4 million during 2006 compared to $1.2 million in 2005) and NAS (profit of $1.3 million during 2006 compared to $705 profit in 2005). Loss from Continuing Operations. ICTS loss from continuing operations totaled $9.8 million in 2006, compared to $11.3 million in 2005. Loss from Discontinued Operations. ICTS loss from discontinued operations in 2006 totaled $4.2 million compared to $13.5 million in 2005. The loss of 2005 includes a capital loss of $4,774 from the selling of the leasing equipment. During 2005 an expense of $9.7 million was recognized regarding leases that should be paid until 2019, and was updated in 2006 by $1.4 million based on legal claims from the landlord and update of the net present value. The loss from discontinued operations in 2006 includes also $2.5 million receivable from IRS which were written-off in 2006 according to dispute with IRS in which ICTS filed a complaint in the United States District Court and its complaint was dismissed. Net loss. As a result of the foregoing, ICTS's loss amounted to $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $24.9 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2005. As to the geographical segments, please see note 19(a) in the financial statements. Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004 (U.S. Dollars in thousands unless otherwise indicated) The following information represents only the results of the company from continuing operations (not including the results of the discontinued operations), unless mentioned otherwise. Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $57.7 million (2004: $58 million), and consisted of $48.3 million (2004: $48.2 million) from U.S. operations, and $9.4 million (2004: $9.8 million) from other operations. Almost all revenues in the U.S. ($48.3 million) are derived from other than aviation security services. -23-

Gross Profit. Gross profit is defined as revenues less costs directly related to such revenues as well as certain indirect expenses such as airport offices, airport fees, local training and other direct labor related expenses such as uniforms and transportation. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $4 million, 7% as a percentage of revenue (2004: $5.2 million, 9% as a percentage of revenue). The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to the fact that the gross profit for the year 2005 included expenses of $1.1 million regarding the new activities of operations in the aviation field by I-SEC and its subsidiaries, mainly establishing costs. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, 20.3% as a percentage of revenues, as compared to $12.2 million, 21% as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. The expenses as a percentage of revenues were similar to the previous year. The improvement was a result of efforts done by management to reduce the company expenses. Operating Loss.

As to the geographical segments, please see note 19(a) in the financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following information refers to the continuing operations results of the company: Our auditors have expressed an opinion that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. ICTS's principal cash requirement for its operations is the payment of wages. Working capital is financed primarily by cash from operating activities, and by short-term and long-term borrowings. As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million as compared to $1.7 million on December 31, 2006, and short-term restricted cash of $1.8 million as compared to $0.7 million on December 31, 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has incurred $2.6 million and $14.1 million net losses, respectively, which were accompanied by net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $11.7 million and negative equity of $20.6 million. During 2005 management has ceased its operations in non-core business and has successfully accomplished its penetration to the European security market. Management anticipates that continuing these resources will provide the Company with the sufficient funds to operate its business in 2008 together with funds received from operations and some bridging loans provided by a related party. The Company's activity, for the long term, depends on entering into additional service contracts. -24-

During 2007 and 2006, the Company received loans from a related party which amount to $6.5 and $2.7, respectively, which were used to cover part of the Company's obligations. The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased in 2007 by $352 as a result of the following: Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3.6 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and net cash used by operating activities of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The net loss during 2007 totaled $2.6 million, offset by non-cash expenses of $373 relating to stock based compensation, $2.2 million to share in loss of associated companies, and $1.2 million in depreciation and amortization. Changes in operating assets and liabilities amounted to $310. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily attributable to a $2.9 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities, an increase of $634 in accounts payable based on the Company cash situation and an increase of $364 in accounts receivable. Net cash provided by discontinued operations totaled $175. Net cash used by investing activities was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $262 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and net cash used in investing activities of $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase this year is mainly because of the change in restricted cash which totaled $770. Proceeds from selling of other investments totaled $295 and $419 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total cash used in 2007 and 2006 for purchase of equipment totaled $940 and $630, respectively. Net cash financing activities were $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.7 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $22 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. In 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was attributed primarily to related party loans of $4 million and net increase in short-term bank credit of $1.6 million. On April 5, 2005, one of the company's subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement by establishing a replacement Revolving line of Credit. The Revolver provides a borrowing base up to $8 million based on 85% of defined Eligible Accounts Receivable and 95% of required Certificates of Deposit less Letter of Credit obligations. The interest rate is one percent (1%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate for loan balances in excess of the Libor Rate loans. As of December 31, 2007 the restricted cash of 3.5 million held by the company serves as other collect recovery credit facility. On December 31, 2007, $5.7 million was outstanding and $1.8 million was available under the revolving credit facility for additional borrowings. The borrowing agreement also provides for a commitment guarantee of up to a maximum of $3.5 million for letters of credit and requires a per annum fee equal to 3%. The Company had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $1 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Based on the revolving line of credit agreement, the subsidiary established a time deposit account, with the lender as cash collateral security. The amount bears an annual interest of 4.25%. This deposit is being shown in the balance sheet as restricted cash - long term. On December 18, 2007, a fifth amendment was executed extending the term from March 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009 with automatic one-year renewals at the election of either Lender or Borrower. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. However, as of March 31, 2008, the Company was in violation of its interest coverage ratio. In April 2008 a sixth amendment to the loan agreement was executed and the bank agreed to waive this covenant violation subject to the issuance of the stand-alone financial statement. The financial statements have not been issued as of the date of the filing and the debt is classified as current. In November 2004, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank. During 2006 the agreement was extended and it provides a borrowing facility of up to (euro)650 (as of December 31, 2006 - $958), limited to 60% of certain pledged accounts receivable. The borrowing facility is also secured by the Company guaranty and is subject to certain covenants. At December 31, 2007, $610 was outstanding and $348 was available under the credit agreement. The Company is in compliance with the covenants. In February 2008 the credit agreement was extended up to (euro)2.1 million. On February 17, 2002, ICTS entered into an aviation security services contract with the TSA to continue to provide aviation security services in all of its current airport locations until the earlier of either the completed transition of these security services on an airport by airport basis to the U.S. Federal Government or November 2, 2002. The TSA, in accordance with standard practices of auditing ICTS's billings pursuant to the contract, has sent the Company a notice indicating that it believes that the Company should not have been paid on fixed cost basis but on an actual cost plus what the TSA would consider a reasonable profit and thereof stated that the Company owed approximately $59 million. ICTS, however, has various claims for additional amounts it considers are due to it for the services provided to the TSA. The -25-

Company estimates that if the TSA will prevail in all of its contentions, and none of the Company's claims will be recognized, then there may be a material adverse effect on ICTS's financial condition. As a result of the September 11th terrorists attacks numerous lawsuits have been commenced against ICTS and its U.S. subsidiary. The cases arise out of airport security services provided for United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts which crashed into the World Trade Center. In addition, to the present claims additional claims may be asserted. The outcome of these or additional cases is uncertain. If there is an adverse outcome with respect to any of these claims which is not covered by insurance, then there may be a significant adverse impact on us. The following table summarizes ICTS's obligations from continuing operations to make future payments under contracts as of December 31, 2007: [Enlarge/Download Table] Contractual Obligations Payments due by Period (in thousands) ------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Less 1-3 4-5 more than Total than 1 year years years 5 years ----- ----------- ----- ----- ------- Long-term debt 3,276 126 3,150 Accrued severance pay 84 84 Operating lease obligations (1) 2,432 697 1,657 78 Loan from related party 6,528 884 5,644 Employment contracts 1,082 541 541 Fees and interest regarding Credit Line 825 825 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 14,227 3,073 10,992 78 84 As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company created an accrual for future rent regarding its discontinued operations of $8.5 million and $10.1 million which is supposed to be paid until 2019. (1) The Company leases premises under long-term operating leases, in most cases with renewal options. Lease expenses from continuing operations, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $1,191, $1,217 and $849, respectively. ICTS's guarantees regarding Bilu Until 2006, the Company had outstanding bank guarantees to Bilu Investments, Ltd. ("Bilu") in the amount of $2,515. As collateral to these guarantees, the Company has long-term restricted deposits in equivalent amounts. In December 31, 2004, as a result of continuing deterioration in the financial results of Bilu, the Company has determined to write-off its investment in Bilu and to fully provide its bank guarantees. In the beginning of 2007, the Company was released from its guarantee liability in total amount of $665 and the provision for the bank deposits was reduced by the same amount presented in 2006 results. Off- balance sheet arrangements The Company is not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements. In addition, ICTS has no unconsolidated special purpose financing or partnership entities that are likely to create material contingent obligations. Our future capital will depend on our success in developing and implementing our business strategy. Trend information Labor market conditions may require the Company to increase its prices. Cost of labor is the most important variable in determining any cost increases. -26-

Options to Purchase Securities. On June 22, 1999 shareholders adopted the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides a means whereby employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and independent contractors of the Company ("Qualified Grantees") may acquire the Common Shares of the Company pursuant to grants of (i) Incentive Stock Options ("ISO") and (ii) "non-qualified stock options". A summary of the significant provisions of the Plan is set forth below. The following description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan itself. The purpose of the Plan is to further the long-term stability, continuing growth and financial success of the Company by attracting and retaining key employees, directors and selected advisors through the use of stock incentives, while stimulating the efforts of these individuals upon whose judgment and interest the Company is and will be largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business. The Company believes that the Plan will strengthen these individuals' desire to remain with the Company and will further the identification of their interests with those of the Company's shareholders. The Plan provides that options to purchase up to 600,000 Common Shares of the Company may be issued to the employees and outside directors. All present and future employees shall be eligible to receive incentive awards under the Plan, and all present and future non-employee directors shall be eligible to receive non-statutory options under the Plan. An eligible employee or non-employee director shall be notified in writing, stating the number of shares for which options are granted, the option price per share, and conditions surrounding the grant and exercise of the options. The exercise price of shares of Company Stock covered by an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant; provided that if an ISO is granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant, is a 10% shareholder, then the exercise price of the shares covered by the incentive stock option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant. The exercise price of shares covered by a non-qualified stock option shall be not less than 85% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board on November 30, 2004 have approved and the shareholders have adopted on February 12, 2005, the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, (the "Plan"). The Plan provides a means whereby employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and independent contractors of the Company ("Qualified Grantees") may acquire the Common Shares of the Company pursuant to grants of (i) Incentive Stock Options ("ISO"), (ii) non-qualified stock options (the NQSO) and (iii) restricted stock. A summary of the significant provisions of the Plan is set forth below. The following description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan itself. The purpose of the Plan is to further the long-term stability, continuing growth and financial success of the Company by attracting and retaining key employees, directors and selected advisors through the use of stock incentives, while stimulating the efforts of these individuals upon whose judgment and interest the Company is and will be largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business. The Company believes that the Plan will strengthen these persons' desire to remain with the Company and will further the identification of those persons' interests with those of the Company's shareholders. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Supervisory Board, which shall be appointed by the Supervisory Board of the Company, and which shall consist of a minimum of three members of the Supervisory Board of the Company. The Plan provides that options to purchase up to 1,500,000 Common Shares of the Company may be issued to the employees, certain consultants and directors. All present and future employees shall be eligible to receive incentive awards under the Plan, and all present and future non-employee directors shall be eligible to receive non-statutory options under the Plan. An eligible employee or non-employee director shall be notified in writing, stating the number of shares for which options are granted, the option price per share, and conditions surrounding the grant and exercise of the options. The exercise price of shares of Company Stock covered by an ISO and NQSO shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant; provided that if an ISO is granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant is a 10% shareholder, then the exercise price of the shares covered by the incentive stock option shall be not less than 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The Plan also provides for cashless exercise of Options at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

A summary of the Options granted is as follows: As of December 31, 2007 there were outstanding options to purchase 1,723,000 shares, out of 2,100,000 that were approved and issued. All the options were granted to directors, executive officers and employees of the Company as a group at exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.35 per share under the plans. These options vest over various terms, ranging from immediately to five years and no later than November 2011. Options available for grant under the plans are 377,000. The plans expire by their terms at various dates to 2015. All current executive officers (Managing Directors) (2 persons) as a group: 210,000 Options All current directors (6 persons) as a group: 1,230,000 Options All non-executive officers and other (8 persons) as a group: 283,000 Options U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences The rules governing the U.S. federal tax treatment of stock options, restricted stock and shares acquired upon the exercise of stock options are quite technical. Therefore, the description of U.S. federal income tax consequences set forth below is necessarily general in nature and does not purport to be complete. Moreover, the statutory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. In particular, the "American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" imposed new rules concerning the taxation of various deferred compensation arrangements. It is not clear whether, and to what extent, these new rules apply to awards under the Plan. Although the Company does not believe that awards under the Plan are affected by the new rules, there can be no assurance to that effect until adequate guidance is forthcoming from the U.S. Treasury Department. Finally, the tax consequences under applicable state, local and foreign income tax laws may not be the same as under the U.S. federal income tax laws. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. ISOs granted pursuant to the Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. If the participant makes no disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to exercise of an ISO within one year after the transfer of shares to such participant and within two years from grant of the option, such participant will realize no taxable income as a result of the grant or exercise of such option, and any gain or loss that is subsequently realized may be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be. Under these circumstances, neither the Company nor any subsidiary will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes with respect to either the issuance of the ISOs or the issuance of shares upon their exercise. If shares acquired upon exercise of ISOs are disposed of prior to the expiration of the above time periods, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the disqualifying disposition occurs, the amount of which will generally be the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the option price, or (ii) the gain recognized on such disposition. Such amount will ordinarily be deductible for federal income tax purposes by the Company or subsidiary for whom the participant performs services ("service recipient") in the same year, provided that the amount constitutes reasonable compensation for services that would result in a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that certain federal income tax withholding requirements are satisfied. In addition, the excess, if any, of the amount realized on a disqualifying disposition over the market value of the shares on the date of exercise will be treated as capital gain. -32-
20-F33rd Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
The foregoing discussion does not consider the impact of the alternative minimum tax, which may be particularly applicable to the year in which an ISO is exercised. NON QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. A participant who acquires shares by exercise of a NQSO generally realizes as taxable ordinary income, at the time of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. Such amount will ordinarily be deductible by the service recipient for federal income tax purposes in the same year, provided that the amount constitutes reasonable compensation for services that would result in a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that certain federal income tax withholding requirements are satisfied. Subsequent appreciation or decline in the value of the shares on the sale or other disposition of the shares will generally be treated as capital gain or loss. RESTRICTED STOCK. A participant granted shares of restricted stock under the Plan is not required to include the value of such shares in ordinary income until the first time such participant's rights in the shares are transferable or are not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier, unless such participant timely files an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed on the receipt of the shares. In either case, the amount of such income will be equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock at the time the income is recognized over the amount (if any) paid for the stock. The service recipient will ordinarily be entitled to a deduction, in the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the participant, for the service recipient's taxable year in which the participant recognizes such income, provided that the amount constitutes reasonable compensation for services that would result in a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that certain federal income tax withholding requirements are satisfied.

the grant are deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the shareholder holding such options, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the ownership of any other shareholder. 1. Harmony Ventures B.V., owns directly and indirectly approximately 60.95% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. A family trust for the benefit of the family of Mr. Menachem J. Atzmon (the Atzmon Family Trusts) owns 90% of Harmony Ventures B.V. and the Estate of Ezra Harel owns 10% of the outstanding shares of Harmony Ventures BV and both may be deemed to control Harmony Ventures B.V. Mr. Atzmon disclaims any beneficial interest in the Atzmon Family Trust. Harmony Ventures B.V. and the Atzmon Family Trust may be able to appoint all the directors of ICTS and control the affairs of ICTS. 2. Of the 900,000 options to Menachem Atzmon (Chairman of the Board), 850,000 are currently exercisable with the remaining 50,000 vesting in 2008. With respect to the Options, 400,000 shares were granted in lieu of a current salary for Mr. Atzmon. Options are exercisable at $1.35 per share for 550,000 options and $1.00 per share for 350,000 options representing the fair market value on the dates of grant. (c) The shares were purchased by such group during 2006, 2007 and 2008. Related Party Transactions. In August 1997, ICTS, as part of a group consisting of Leedan Systems and Properties Enterprises (1993) Ltd. and Rogosin Development and Holdings Ltd. ("Rogosin"), each at the time, an affiliate of Leedan, invested in a joint venture, Bilu Investments Ltd. ("Bilu"). Bilu is engaged in the financing of real estate projects in Israel, primarily in the residential market. In consideration for a 9.3% equity interest in Bilu, ICTS contributed $259 and has guaranteed $2,915 of debt obligations of Bilu. In 2000 Bilu issued 25% of its shares to an unaffiliated party in consideration for an equity investment of $2,000 and the provision of guarantees for debt obligations of Bilu in an amount of $3,800. As a result, ICTS's equity interest in Bilu has been diluted to 7% and ICTS's guarantee was reduced to $2,515, of which $700 is on behalf of each of Leedan and Rogosin, respectively. Rogosin became an unaffiliated party in 2002. In December 31, 2004, as a result of the continuing deterioration in the financial results of Bilu and the financial position of Leedan and Rogosin, the Company has determined to write off its investment in Bilu and to fully provide for its bank guaranties. In early 2007, the Company was released from its guarantee obligation for an amount of $665. The provision for the bank deposits was reduced by the same amount presented in 2006 results. In July 2000, each of ICTS and International Tourist Attractions Ltd. ("ITA"), a company under the control of ICTS's principal shareholders, purchased 16 common shares for $16 each of Ramasso Holding B.V. ("Ramasso") from Leedan, representing 40% each of the outstanding share capital of Ramasso. The remaining 20% shares in Ramasso are held by a company controlled by Leedan. ICTS provided loans to Ramasso from time to time until December 2003 aggregating approximately $3 million bearing an annual interest rate of 4.25% which has no fixed repayment. Ramasso owns and operates, a Time Elevator in Rome, Italy. Through December 31, 2002, ICTS has accounted for its share in Ramasso's losses, in the total amount of $1.4 million, in view of these losses; the Company wrote-off the balance of the investment in Ramasso at December 31, 2002, in the amount of $1 million. In April, 2003 the Company provided a financial institution that financed the Time Elevator in Rome, with a guaranty securing the repayment of such financing. At the time the guaranty was provided the amount of the financing provided by such financial institution to Time Elevator in Rome has been net 1,838,390 Euro. As of December 31, 2003, ICTS has fully provided for the guaranty in the amount of $1.1 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2003 ICTS was required by the financial institution to cover its guaranty and the Company has reached an agreement with the financial institution for the repayment terms. All the debt was paid until December 31, 2005. Ramasso, which operated the Time Elevator in Rome filed for bankruptcy. In 2006 the receiver in the bankruptcy has filed a proceeding against the financial institution which provided loans to Ramasso to recover a security deposit in the amount of 866 Euro ($1.1 million as of December 31, 2006) which the financial institution held as security and applied against its outstanding indebtedness as a result of Romasso's defaults. The financial institution has impleaded the company on its guarantee to the financial institution, and the financial institution is required to return the security deposit to the receiver in the bankruptcy. The financial institution has withdrawn its claim against the Company and has filed a Notice of Discontinuance against the Company. During the period from April to September 2002, ICTS purchased 4,106,895 shares of Inksure Technologies Inc. ("Inksure"), which represents 34.3% of Inksure's outstanding shares for a purchase price of $5,986. In October 2002, Mr. Elie Housman, the Chairman of the Board of Inksure, was appointed to the ICTS Supervisory Board. Mr. Sass, a member of the ICTS Supervisory Board and one of our directors was elected to the Board of Inksure. Mr. Getter is also a member of the Board of Inksure. Messrs. Housman, Getter and Sass, as well as an entity associated with the Atzmon Family Trust, own shares and warrants in Inksure. In addition, Messrs. Housman, Getter and Sass hold options to purchase Inksure -34-

securities. Inksure develops, markets and sells customized authentications systems designed to enhance the security of documents and branded products and to meet the growing demand for protection from counterfeiting and diversion. In June 2003 and April 2004 the Company participated in Inksure's private placements purchasing 174,542 and 544,118 additional shares, respectively at an aggregate purchase price of $192 and $370, respectively. During December 2006 the Company sold 155,000 shares of Inksure at a price of $2.70 per share. In March 2007 another 155,000 shares were sold for $1.90 per share. As of December 31, 2007 the Company owns approximately 28.1% of the outstanding shares of Inksure. In 2006 the supervisory board authorized the management to sell its investment in Inksure. The market value as of December 31, 2007 was approximately $2.1 million. As of June 1, 2008 the market value of the investment dropped to $1 million. On July 7, 2005, the Company has signed an agreement, with a related party, to sell its rights of ownership in a long-term deposit, and to transfer the related long-term loan which was received as part of the arrangement with a bank, for consideration of $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2005 the net book value of the deposit and the long-term loan was $1.2 million. The total loss from the selling amounted to $316. In June 2002 equipment in the amount of $23.5 million was purchased and leased back to the seller, an unaffiliated private Dutch company, for 7 years in an operating lease agreement (with respect to equipment in an amount of $12.5 million, the Company entered into a purchase and lease agreement that replaced a predecessor acquirer, see below). The seller had the option to buy back the assets after 5 or 7 years, at their fair value, which would have been determined by an appraiser. The Company has undertaken to repay the predecessor acquirer's liability to a bank, in an amount of $8.7 million, and issued him a promissory note. The loan was non-recourse. In December 2004, ICTS determined that the future cash flows from the lease equipment will not recover its investment, and as a result recorded an impairment loss of $2,247 in addition to an impairment loss of $6,042 that was recorded in 2003. The value of the equipment was based on a cash flow projection that incorporated an external appraisal of the equipment terminal value at the option exercise date. In June 2005, the company granted the lessee an option to purchase the leased equipment for an amount of $5 million plus an amount equal to the related loan balance on the exercise date, thus providing for the possibility of the early termination of the leasing agreement. The validity of the option started on June 1, 2005 until September 30, 2006. As a consideration for granting the option fee the lessee had to pay ICTS an option fee of $20 per month, which will be reduced from the $5 million in case of exercising the option. In July 2005 the company received an advanced payment of $1 million on lease installments which will be reduced from the purchase price of $5 million in case that the option will be exercised. On December 28, 2005 the lessee exercised the option. The net value of the equipment as of the purchase date was (euro)9,775 (equal to $11,554 on that date). The loss from the selling total was $4,774. On January 2006 the company signed a loan agreement with the owner of the lease company in which he received a loan of (euro)1million ($1.2 million as of December 31, 2005) for 6 months bearing an interest of 5.45%. The entire loan was repaid by May 2006. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the company received loans in an aggregate amount of $6,528 and $2,652, respectively, from a related party as bridging finance. These loans are evidenced by a secured Promissory Note. All loans and accrued interest were due no later then April 1, 2008. Interest accrues at prime rate plus 1.5 percent and the obligations were secured by the pledge of 2,157,895 shares of common stock of Inksure Technologies Inc. The loans were, at the option of the lender, convertible into the company's common stock at a price of $3.50 per share. During 2008 the terms of the loan with related party were extended for 2 years up to April 1, 2010. Based on the new agreement, as collateral on the loan, 26% of the shares of I-SEC International Security B.V. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was pledged to the related party In addition, the loan is convertible to the Company' shares at a price of $2.75. Loans and accrued interest from related parties at June 30, 2008 amounted to $6.3 million. Following structural changes and continuous losses in Demco, a 100% held subsidiary, it was decided to transfer the projects of Demco to "Amesco Emergency and Security Solutions" as a subcontractor. That company belongs to a related party. It will pay commissions to Demco based on the contracts it will operate until 2010. Item 8. Financial Information Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information. See pages F-1 through F-43 incorporated herein by reference. Legal Proceedings As a result of the September 11th terrorists attacks numerous lawsuits have commenced against Huntleigh and ICTS. Huntleigh and ICTS have been named in approximately 64 and 61 lawsuits, respectively. All of the cases were filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The cases arise out of Huntleigh's airport security service for United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. All of the cases involve wrongful death -35-
20-F36th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
except 16 which involve property damage. The cases are in their early stages with depositions having begun on September 12, 2006. A number of these cases have been settled or are in the process of being settled or dismissed at no cost to the Company. Although these are the only claims brought against Huntleigh and ICTS with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Huntleigh and ICTS anticipate additional related claims. See "Risk Factors-Potential For Liability Claims." Under current legislation Huntleigh has its liability limited to the amount of insurance coverage that it carries. The legislation applies to Huntleigh, but not ICTS. The Company has commenced an action against the U.S. Government with regard to the Fifth Amendment rights relating to the taking of its business. In December 2004 the Court denied the Government's motion to dismiss the case. A motion for reconsideration was filed by the defendant and denied. The trial for this action has been held and the court has decided against the Company. The Company appealed the decision. In May 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has affirmed the lower court's ruling against the Company. The Company was in dispute with Fraport A.G. International Airport Services Worldwide in relation to alleged unlawful use of the letter combination "ICTS" by the company. Fraport initiated proceedings before the district court of Amsterdam. The principal amount claimed is 57.65 million Euros ($68.1 million as of December 31, 2005). This dispute has been settled without any liability to the Company. In September 2005, Avitecture, Inc, (f/k/a Audiovisual-Washington, Inc.) ("Avitecture"), filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against ITA-Atlantic City, LLC ("ITA") with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated March 20, 2003, ITA owes Avitecture $222 for audio, video and control systems it provided for ITA's use in a tourist attraction in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but for which Avitecture claims it has not been paid. The case was decided against the Company in an arbitration proceeding awarding Avitecture $194 plus arbitration costs of $6. The arbitrator's decision was affirmed by the Superior Court of New Jersey on or about May 4, 2007. The Company appealed this decision. In September 2007, ITA k/a Explore Atlantic City, LLC ("Explore") filed bankruptcy under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Code. We filed a petition in bankruptcy with the court. The Appellate Court affirmed the arbitrator's ruling on February 18, 2008. In the interim, the bankruptcy case was closed. In November 2005, Turner Construction Company ("Turner") filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against Explore Atlantic City, LLC ("Explore") with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated October 28, 2003, Explore owes Turner $948 for work and/or services performed pursuant to the contract, but for which Explore has not paid Turner. The arbitrator awarded Turner $956 plus interest and costs, which award was affirmed on appeal. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $956 and $970 were accrued, respectively. On or about October 9, 2007, Explore filed a petition in bankruptcy with the New Jersey Superior Court. The Court thereafter stayed the proceedings and dismissed the action without prejudice as a result of the bankruptcy filing. To date, Turner has not moved to re-instate or reopen the case. In December 2005, Barlo & Associates ("Barlo") filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against Explore with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated April 16, 2002, Explore owes Turner $21,000 for architectural work and/or services performed pursuant to the contract, but for which Explore has not paid Barlo. This matter has been settled for $10,000. The TSA filed with the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition ("ODRA") a contract dispute in connection with the contract entered into in February 2002 by Huntleigh seeking reimbursement of an alleged overpayment of principal in the amount of $59.2 million. This claim follows the lawsuit which Huntleigh has already filed against the TSA for its breaches of its contract with Huntleigh. Both claims are now pending in mediation. Huntleigh intends to vigorously challenge the TSA's claim which it asserts is devoid of any factual or legal merit. The TSA's filing comes on the heels of a recent decision by ODRA granting Huntleigh's motion for partial summary judgment against the TSA. ODRA has granted Huntleigh's motion for partial summary judgment on Huntleigh's claim that the TSA breached the contract by failing to give appropriate notice for transitioning airport locations. A separate hearing will be held to determine the amount of damages due to Huntleigh on this claim. With regards to the claim for the $59.2 million overpayment, Huntleigh has filed a motion to dismiss the action which has been denied. In 2005 the Company's subsidiary ICTS USA, Inc. filed a refund claim with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in an amount in excess of $2.4 million which was to be reflected on the December 31, 2005 year end financial statements as a receivable. The Company made a demand to the IRS for the refund. Thereafter, by letter dated August 15, 2006, the -36-

Company was advised that a criminal investigation by the United States Department of Justice, Tax Division is ongoing by a grand jury regarding possible criminal tax violations by the subsidiary for the tax years 2002 and 2003 regarding certain royalty payment made to the Company. In January, 2008, the Company was advised that the current investigation was withdrawn, and the Company received the refund of $2.4 million and interest of $373. Two of the Company's subsidiaries have been sued by their landlord (which is the same entity for both properties) alleging breach of the respective leases. One suit is in Circuit Court for Baltimore City affecting the Company's Explore Baltimore facility, and the other is in the Superior Court of New Jersey affecting the Company's Explore Atlantic City facility. Through legally defective service, the landlord was able to obtain orders for possession of both of these locations. A petition to open the Atlantic City action has been filed and one is being prepared for the Baltimore action. In addition to seeking possession, in both the cases the landlord is seeking unpaid rent for the entire term of the leases. In the Atlantic City case the amount sought is $5,970 and in the Baltimore case, the amount is $ 4,444. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company accrued an amount of $2.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively, for future rent. The Company filed a petition in bankruptcy for each of the Atlantic City and Baltimore subsidiaries, which stayed the proceeding. However, the landlord was able to prevail against the Company with respect to a guarantee given by the Company with respect to the lease in Baltimore. The Company also rendered that the landlord could proceed to prove its damages with respect to the Baltimore lease. In January 2008, the Baltimore litigation was conducted. At the end of the trial, a judgment in the amount of $2,559,343.67 was awarded in favor of the Landlord and against ITA Baltimore and ICTS International, N.V., jointly and severally. The Company has filed an appeal in this litigation to challenge the judgment on behalf of ICTS International, N.V. The Atlantic City litigation was reopened in state court in January, 2008 and is still on-going. The amount claimed against ITA is $5,970,197. Deposition discovery is about to commence. Significant Changes As of the management decision to cease the operations of the Leasing and the Entertainment activities in 2005, the financial statements are presented according to FAS 144 which separates the financial information of the discontinued operations and the continuing operations.

Additional Information Memorandum and Articles of Association Introduction The material provisions of the Company's Articles of Association are summarized below. Such summaries do not purport to be complete statements of these provisions and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibit. The Company was established by the Department of Justice at Amstelveen, Netherlands on October 9, 1992. The objectives of the Company are generally to manage and finance businesses, extend loans and invest capital as described in greater detail in Article 2 of the Company's Articles of Association. Shares The Company's authorized share capital is currently divided into 17,000,000 common shares, per value 0.45 Euro per common share. The common shares may be in bearer or registered form. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 6,672,980 shares were issued. The Company holds 144,880 shares of treasury stock. Dividends Dividends on common shares may be paid out of annual profits shown in the Company's annual accounts, which must be adopted by the Company's Supervisory Board. The Management Board, with the prior approval of the Supervisory Board, may decide that all or part of the Company's profits should be retained and not be made available for distribution to shareholders. Those profits that are not retained shall be distributed to holders of common shares, provided that the distribution does not reduce shareholders' equity below the issued share capital increased by the amount of reserves required by Netherlands law. At its discretion, subject to statutory provisions, the Management Board may, with the prior approval of the Supervisory Board, distribute one or more interim dividends on the common shares before the annual accounts have been approved by the Company's shareholders. Existing reserves that are distributable in accordance with Netherlands law may be made available for distribution upon proposal by the Management Board, subject to prior approval by the Supervisory Board. With respect to cash payments, the rights to dividends and distributions shall lapse if such dividends or distributions are not claimed within five years following the day after the date on which they were made available. Voting Rights Members of the Company's Supervisory Board are appointed by the general meeting. The Company's Articles of Association provide that the term of office of each Supervisory Director will expire no later than June in each calendar year. Members of the Supervisory Board may be re-appointed. -38-

General Meetings of Shareholders The Company's general meetings of shareholders will be held at least once a year, not later than six months after the end of the fiscal year. Notices convening a general meeting will be mailed to holders of registered shares at least 15 days before the general meeting and will be published in national newspapers in the Netherlands and abroad in countries where the Company's bearer shares are admitted for official quotation. In order to attend, address and vote at the general meeting of shareholders, the holders of the Company's registered shares must notify it in writing of their intention to attend the meeting and holders of the Company's bearer shares must direct the depository to their bearer shares, each as specified in the published notice. The Company currently does not solicit from or nominate proxies for its shareholders and is exempt from the proxy rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, shareholders and other persons entitled to attend the general meetings of shareholders may be represented by proxies with written authority. Other general meetings of shareholders may be held as often as deemed necessary by the Supervisory Board or the Management Board and must be held if one or more shareholders or other persons entitled to attend the general meeting of shareholders jointly representing at least 10% of the Company's issued share capital make a written request to the Supervisory Board or the Management Board that a meeting must be held and specifying in detail the business to be dealt with at such meeting. Resolutions are adopted at general meetings of shareholders by a majority of the vote's cast, except where a different proportion of votes are required by the Articles of Association or Netherlands law, in a meeting in which holders of at least one-third of the outstanding common shares are represented. Each share carries one vote. Amendment of Articles of Association and Winding Up A resolution presented to the general meeting of shareholders amending the Company's Articles of Association or winding up the Company may only be taken after a proposal made by the Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board. A resolution to dissolve the Company must be approved by at least a three-fourths majority of the votes cast. Approval of Annual Accounts The Company's annual Netherlands statutory accounts, together with a certificate of its auditors, will be submitted to the general meeting of shareholders for approval. Consistent with business practice in the Netherlands and as provided by the Company's Articles of Association, approval of the annual accounts by the shareholders discharges the Management Board and the Supervisory Board from liability for the performance of their respective duties for the past financial year. Under Netherlands law, this discharge is not absolute and will not be effective with respect to matters which are not disclosed to the shareholders. Liquidation Rights In the event of the Company's dissolution and liquidation, the assets remaining after payment of all debts and liquidation expenses are to be divided proportionately among the holders of the common shares. Issues of Shares; Pre-emptive Rights The Company's Supervisory Board has the power to issue shares. The shareholders have by an authorizing resolution provided such authority for a five year period ending June 30, 2011. The number of shares the Supervisory Board is authorized to issue must be set at the time of the resolution and may not exceed 17,000,000 shares of the common shares then outstanding. Shareholders have a pro rata pre-emptive right of subscription to any common shares issued for the purpose of raising capital, which may be limited or eliminated, if designated for this purpose by the general meeting of shareholders (whether by means of any authorizing resolution or an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association). Repurchase and Cancellation of Shares The Company may repurchase its common shares, subject to compliance with the requirements of certain laws of the Netherlands (and provided the aggregate nominal value of the Company's common shares acquired by it at any one time amounts to no more than one-tenth of its issued share capital). Common shares owned by the Company may not be voted or counted for quorum purposes. Any such purchases are subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and the authorization of the general meeting of shareholders. Authorization is not effective for more than 18 months. The Company may resell shares it purchases. Upon a proposal of the Management Board and approval of the Supervisory Board, the Company's shareholders at the general meeting shall have the power to decide to cancel shares acquired by the Company or to reduce the nominal value of the common shares. Any such proposal is subject to general requirements of Netherlands law with respect to reduction of share capital. -39-

Shares may only be cancelled by vote of the shareholders at the general meeting. Only shares which the Company holds or for which it holds the depository receipts may be cancelled. However, an entire class may be cancelled provided the Company repays the par value to the holders of such shares. On December 6, 2006, shareholders authorized the Company, for a period of 18 months, to expend funds up to $6.5 million to repurchase common shares in the open market at prices not to exceed $10 per share. As of June 30, 2007 the Company has not re-purchased any shares. Material contracts For material contracts See "Item 8 - Financial Information". Exchange controls There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in The Netherlands, the Company's jurisdiction of organization, that restrict the Company's export or import of capital in any material respect, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange controls. There are no limitations imposed by Netherlands law or the Company's charter documents on the right of nonresident or foreign owners to hold or vote Common Shares. Taxation United States Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion summarizes the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares by a U.S. Holder (as defined below). This summary deals only with shares held as capital assets and does not deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors some of which (such as tax-exempt entities, banks, broker-dealers, investors who hold shares as part of hedging or conversion transactions and investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special rules. This summary does not deal with the tax consequences for U.S. Holders who own at any time, directly or indirectly, through certain related parties, 10% or more of the voting stock or nominal paid-in capital of the Company. The summary does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all the potential tax consequences of holding shares, nor does it purport to furnish information in same detail or with attention to an investor's specific tax circumstances that would be provided by an investor's own tax adviser. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of shares are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances and with respect to the effects of U.S. federal, state, local, or other laws to which they may be subject. As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of shares that is (i) for United States federal income tax purposes a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or (iii) an estate or trust, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, and existing and proposed Treasury regulations, changes to any of which after the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F could apply on a retroactive basis and affect the tax consequences described herein. Taxation of Dividends For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of distributions (including any withholding tax thereon) made by the Company out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) will be included in the gross income of a direct U.S. Holder as foreign source dividend income on the date of receipt but will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations. Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits of the Company will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's basis in the shares (thereby increasing the amount of any gain and decreasing the amount of any loss realized on the subsequent disposition of such shares) and then as a gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. The amount of any dividend paid in Euro will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of the euro on the date of receipt regardless of whether the U.S. Holder converts the payment into U.S. dollars. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend is includable to the date such payment is converted into U.S. dollars and any exchange gain or loss will be ordinary income or loss. -40-

The declaration of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We cannot assure you that dividends will be paid in the future. Foreign Tax Credits U.S. Holders will generally be entitled to claim a credit against their United States federal income tax liability for the amount of Netherlands dividend withholding tax imposed on dividends paid to U.S. Holders. See Netherlands Dividend Withholding Tax. U.S. Holders who are entitled to the benefits of a reduced rate of Netherlands dividend withholding tax under the U.S. Tax Treaty will be allowed a credit for only the amount of withholding tax provided for under the U.S. Tax Treaty (i.e. 15%). However, the full amount of the dividend, including any withheld amounts in excess of 15%, will be subject to current United States federal income taxation whether or not such Holder obtained a refund of the excess amount withheld. The U.S. Holder is also entitled to a U.S. foreign tax credit for Dutch corporate taxes assessed on the earnings and profits that are distributed. To the extent that Dutch corporate income tax has reduced the accumulated earnings and profits (i.e. the taxes have been paid or at least accrued with an assessment), these taxes accompany the dividend at the same pro-rata percentage as the dividend to the accumulated earnings and profits. The dividend income against which U.S. tax is assessed must be grossed up by the amount of Dutch taxes to be claimed as a credit in order to reverse the effect of the reduction to taxable earnings and profits. The amount of the credit for Netherlands income tax in accordance with the U.S. Tax Treaty will be subject to limitations contained in the foreign tax credit provisions of the Code. In the event the Company pays a dividend to a U.S. Holder out of the earnings of a non-Dutch subsidiary, however, it is possible that under certain circumstances such U.S. Holder would not be entitled to claim a credit for a portion of any Dutch taxes withheld by the Company from such dividend. The portion of Dutch withholding tax that may not be creditable in this instance equals a maximum of 3% of the gross amount of such dividend (or 20% of the Dutch taxes withheld in the case of a U.S. Holder entitled to claim a 15% withholding rate under the U.S. Tax Treaty). This limitation could only potentially apply under circumstances where the Company pays dividends on the shares. Depending on the particular circumstances of the U.S. Holder, dividends accrued from shares will generally be classified, for foreign tax credit purposes, as passive income or financial services income. A U.S. Holder who finds it more advantageous because of such limitations, to claim the Netherlands dividend withholding tax as a deduction instead of a credit may do so, but only for a year for which such Holder does not claim a credit for any foreign taxes. If the U.S. Holder is a U.S. partnership, trust, or estate, any tax credit is available only to the extent that the income derived by such partnership, trusts, or estate is subject to U.S. tax on the income of a resident either in its hands or in the hands of its partners or beneficiaries, as the case may be. Taxation on Sale or Disposition of Shares U.S. Holders will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the sale or other disposition of shares in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. In general, a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares will be equal to the amount paid by the U.S. Holder for such shares. For shares held less than a year, any such gain or loss will generally be treated as short-term gain or loss and taxed as ordinary gain or loss. If the shares have been held for more than a year, any such gain or loss will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. Rates of tax on long-term capital gains vary depending on the holding period. U.S. Holders are advised to consult a competent tax adviser regarding applicable capital gains tax provisions and sourcing of capital gains and losses for foreign tax credit purposes. Gift and Estate Tax An individual U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. gift and estate taxes on shares in the same manner and to the same extent as on other types of personal property. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting Payments in respect of the shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and to a 31% U.S. backup withholding tax. Backup withholding generally will not apply, however, to a Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number or certificate of foreign status and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. Generally, a U.S. Holder will provide such certification on Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) and a non-US Holder will provide such certification on Form W-8 (Certificate of Foreign Status). -41-

Foreign Personal Holding Companies The Company or any of its non-US subsidiaries may be classified as a "foreign personal holding company" ("FPHC") if in any taxable year, five or fewer persons who are U.S. citizens or residents own (directly or constructively after the application of certain attribution rules) more than 50% of the Company's stock (a "US Group") and more than 60% of the gross income of the Company or of any subsidiary consists of passive income for purposes of the FPHC rules. There is a look-through rule for dividends and interest received from related persons. Accordingly, dividends and interest received by the Company from its subsidiaries will be re-characterized based on the income of the subsidiaries. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or becomes a FPHC, each U.S. Holder of the Company (including a U.S. corporation) who held stock in the Company on the last day of the taxable year of the Company, or, if earlier, the last day of its taxable year in which a U.S. Group existed with respect to the Company, is required to include in gross income as a dividend such shareholder's pro rata portion of the undistributed FPHC income of the Company or the subsidiary, even if no cash dividend was actually paid. In this case, if the Company is a FPHC, a U.S. Holder is entitled to increase its tax basis in the shares of the Company by the amount of a deemed dividend from the Company. If a subsidiary of the Company is a FPHC, a U.S. Holder in the Company should be afforded similar relief, although the law is unclear as to the form of the relief. Taxes in the Netherlands The following is a general non-exhaustive discussion of the tax laws in the Netherlands as they relate to the operations of the Company. Corporate Income Taxes ICTS is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and is therefore subject to the tax laws of the Netherlands. In 2006 the standard corporate income tax rate was 25.5% applicable for taxable profits up to (euro)23 and 29.6% for the excess. In 2007, these rates are 20% for profits up to (euro)25, 23.5% for profits between (euro)25 and (euro)60 and 25.5% for profits in excess of (euro)60. ICTS and a number of its Dutch resident subsidiary companies form a fiscal unity for Dutch corporate income tax purposes. As a result, Dutch corporate income tax is levied from these entities on a consolidated basis at the level of ICTS. For Dutch corporate income tax purposes business affiliates should calculate their profits at arms length. In case transactions between such affiliates conditions are made or imposed (transfer prices) which differ from those conditions which would have been made or imposed between independent entities in the free market, the profits of those entities are determined as if the latter conditions had been agreed. Participation Exemption In general, the Dutch participation exemption is applicable to a shareholding held by ICTS in a subsidiary company in case the following conditions are met: (i) The subsidiary company has a capital divided into shares; and (ii) ICTS holds at least 5% of the nominal paid-in share capital of the subsidiary company; and (iii) ICTS does not hold the shares in the subsidiary company as inventory. In case of a shareholding in a non-Dutch resident subsidiary company, the following additional conditions are applicable: (iv) The subsidiary company is subject to a tax on profits in its state of residence; and (v) The shares in the subsidiary company are not held by ICTS as a portfolio investment, including shareholdings in passive group financing companies. Regardless of the above, a shareholding of 20% or more in a qualifying EU resident subsidiary company that can be considered as a portfolio investment in principle still falls within the scope of the participation exemption, provided that all other above conditions are met and subject to certain anti-abuse provisions. As from 2007 conditions (iii)-(v) above for the application of the participation exemption will be abolished. Further, the different treatment of shareholdings in Dutch and foreign and of EU and non-EU subsidiaries will disappear. Instead, the participation exemption will be applicable to shareholdings in subsidiary companies of at least 5%, unless -42-

(1) the subsidiary company can be considered as a low-taxed company; and (2) the shareholding in the subsidiary company qualifies as a portfolio investment. A subsidiary company is considered as a low-taxed company in case the company is not subject to a profit tax that equals at least an effective tax rate of 10% over a taxable base determined according to Dutch standards. Whether or not a shareholding in a subsidiary company qualifies as a portfolio investment is determined based on an asset test at the level of the subsidiary. A shareholding is qualified as a portfolio investment if the assets of the subsidiary directly or indirectly consist predominantly (i.e. for more than 50%) of "free portfolio investments", being portfolio assets that are not used for business activities, including assets used for passive group financing activities. The test must be applied from the perspective of the subsidiary itself. The participation exemption will in principle be applicable by definition in case 90% or more of the assets of the subsidiary company consist of real estate. In case the participation exemption is applicable, income in the hands of ICTS arising from dividends paid by subsidiaries or capital gains from the disposal of its shares in such subsidiaries is exempt from corporate income tax in The Netherlands. Apart from special provisions in relation to certain liquidation losses, capital losses incurred in relation to qualifying participations are not deductible for Dutch corporate income tax purposes. In case the participation exemption is not applicable, income derived from a subsidiary company will be grossed up and taxed in the hands of ICTS against ordinary corporate income tax rates, whilst a credit is allowed for underlying taxes. Income derived from totally exempt portfolio participations will not be grossed up, nor can a credit for underlying taxes be claimed. Costs related to the acquisition of qualifying participations are not deductible. Other expenses relating to participations, regardless of whether they are resident in the Netherlands or abroad, are in principle fully deductible. As from 2007, costs related to the disposal of participations falling within the scope of the participation exemption will also no longer be deductible. Interest deduction limitations As per January 1, 2004, thin capitalization rules were introduced in the Netherlands which include restrictions on the deductibility of interest in the case of companies that are excessively financed by debts. A company is regarded as excessively financed by debts if the average annual debt for tax purposes exceeds three times the average annual equity for tax purposes to the extent that the excess is larger than (euro)500,000. As an alternative to applying the fixed 3:1 debt/equity ratio, as a safe harbour, ICTS may from year to year decide to apply the average debt/equity ratio of the group of companies to which it belongs as its maximum debt/equity ratio based on the statutory commercial (consolidated) accounts. The amount of non-deductible interest is limited to interest due to affiliated group companies (to the extent that such interest exceeds interest received from affiliated group companies). Besides the thin-capitalization regulations, Dutch tax law includes various other sets of anti-abuse provisions in relation to deduction of interest. Loss compensation As a general rule, losses can be carried forward by ICTS indefinitely or carried back to the three preceding book-years, subject to certain anti-abuse provisions in relation to the trade in compensable losses. Limitations on loss compensation may also apply in the case of so-called "holding losses", being - shortly summarized - losses incurred in a book-year during which the activities of ICTS (jointly with the subsidiary companies that form part of the fiscal unity for Dutch corporate income tax purposes) for the entire or almost entire year, entirely or almost entirely consist of the holding of participations or the (in) direct financing of related companies. This will be deemed not to be the case if at least 25 employees are engaged in other activities on a full-time basis. As of 2007, the term for carry-back of losses will be reduced from three years to one year. Further, the term for carry-forward of losses will be limited to nine years. Not yet compensated losses will vaporize after these terms have lapsed. Based on transitional rules, losses sustained in book-years up to and including 2002 may be set-off against profits of book-years up to and including 2011. -43-

Corporate Income Tax 2007 Act, other changes Based on the recently adopted Corporate Income Tax Act of 2007, as per January 1, 2007, various other changes will be introduced to the Dutch corporate income tax regime. Along with the changes already mentioned above, other changes including, but not limited to an "interest box" and a "patent box" will be introduced in the Netherlands (subject to approval from the European Committee). In the interest box regime, subject to certain conditions, the positive balance of interest receivable from and payable to group companies will be taxed against an effective tax rate of 5% (up to a certain maximum depending on the amount of equity for tax purposes). Application of the interest box regime is optional. Therefore, ICTS may determine itself whether or not to apply the interest box regime. If applied, the interest box regime must, in principle, be applied by all Dutch resident group companies for a period of at least 3 years. In the patent box regime, income from self-developed intangible assets will be taxed against an effective tax rate of 10%. In general, the maximum amount of income to be taxed against this special rate is limited to 4 times the total costs made in relation to the intangible assets. Application of the patent box is only possible in relation to intangible assets for which a patent is granted. Further, application of the patent box regime is subject to the condition that the income generated with an intangible asset, can for 30% or more, be attributed to the patent. Brands, images and similar assets are excluded from the patent box regime. Application of the patent box regime is optional. ICTS may also decide to deduct R&D costs against other regularly taxed income when determining its taxable income. At a later stage, subject to certain conditions aimed at avoiding that costs are deducted against regular corporate income tax rates whereas income is taxed under the patent box regime against an effective rate of 10%, ICTS may in this case in principle still decide to apply the patent box regime. Further, as per January 1, 2007 restrictions will be introduced on the depreciation period of goodwill and other business assets. The minimum depreciation period for goodwill will be 10 years. The minimum depreciation period for other business assets will be 5 years. It should still be possible to value assets at lower going-concern value. Further, restrictions will be introduced on the depreciation of real estate property. Shortly summarized, depreciation of investment property will no longer be allowed in case the book-value of the property falls below the official fair market value of the property for tax purposes. The depreciation of real estate property used as part of a trade or business will be allowed as long as the book-value of the real estate property does not fall below 50% of the official fair market value of the property for tax purposes. Dutch Tax Consequences of Holding Shares The following is a general, non-exhaustive summary of Dutch tax consequences to a holder of Common Shares who is not, or is not deemed to be, a resident of the Netherlands for purposes of the relevant tax codes (a "non-resident Shareholder") and is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. The summary does not address taxes imposed by the Netherlands other than dividend withholding tax, personal income tax, corporate income tax and gift and inheritance tax. The discussion does not address the tax consequences under tax laws in any other jurisdiction besides the Netherlands. Dividend Withholding Tax in the Netherlands ICTS currently does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. To the extent that dividends are distributed by ICTS, such dividends ordinarily would be subject, under the tax laws of the Netherlands, to a withholding tax at a rate of 25%. In 2007, the domestic Dutch dividend withholding tax rate will be reduced to 15%. Dividends include distributions in cash or in kind, deemed dividends and redemption and liquidation proceeds in excess of, for Dutch tax purposes, recognized paid-in capital. In case there are profits or in case profits can be anticipated, the repayment of ICTS' share premium is in principle also subject to dividend withholding tax. Further, share dividends are subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax, unless distributed out of the paid-in share premium of ICTS as recognized for tax purposes in the Netherlands. A non-resident Shareholder can be eligible for a reduction or a refund of Dutch dividend withholding tax under a tax convention which is in effect between the country of residence of the shareholder and the Netherlands. The Netherlands has concluded such conventions with, among others, the United States, most European Union member states, Canada, Switzerland and Japan. Under most of these conventions, dividend withholding tax in the Netherlands is effectively reduced to a rate of 15% in the case of an individual shareholder or less in the case of a corporate shareholder. -44-
20-F45th Page of 93TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 45th
Under the tax convention currently in force between the United States and the Netherlands (the "Treaty"), dividends paid by ICTS to an individual shareholder resident in the United States or a corporate shareholder organized under the laws of the United States or any State or territory thereof holding less than 10% of the voting power in ICTS (each, a "U.S. Treaty Shareholder"), are generally eligible for a reduction of Dutch dividend withholding tax to 15%, provided that they are entitled to the benefits of the Treaty, unless such U.S. Treaty Shareholder has a permanent establishment or permanent representative in the Netherlands to which or to whom the Common Shares are attributable. Subject to certain conditions, the dividend withholding tax rate may be reduced to 5% or 0% in case a qualifying U.S. resident corporate shareholder would hold at least 10% respectively at least 80% of the voting power in ICTS. Generally, there is no dividend withholding tax applicable in the Netherlands on the sale or disposition of Common Shares to persons other than ICTS or its subsidiaries or affiliates. In case of sale or disposition of Common Shares to ICTS or any of its subsidiaries, dividend withholding tax in the Netherlands may apply. However, after January 1, 2001, in limited circumstances, Dutch dividend withholding tax will not apply to repurchases of shares by ICTS. In addition, in an effort to reduce the practice of dividend stripping to reduce or avoid the applicable taxes, the Dutch tax authorities have introduced new laws to avoid such practices effective retroactively as from April 27, 2001. Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax in the Netherlands Based on Dutch domestic tax law, a non-resident Shareholder is subject to Dutch income tax and Dutch corporate income tax with respect to dividends distributed by ICTS on the Common Shares or with respect to capital gains derived from the sale or disposal of Common Shares in case: (a) the non-resident Shareholder carries on a business in the Netherlands through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative to which or to whom the Common Shares are attributable; or (b) the non-resident Shareholder has a direct or indirect substantial interest or deemed substantial interest in the share capital of ICTS as defined in the tax code in the Netherlands, which interest does not form part of the assets of an enterprise of that non-resident Shareholder; or (c) the non-resident Shareholder is entitled to a share in the profits of an enterprise effectively managed in The Netherlands, other than through ownership of securities or, in the case of an individual shareholder, through employment, to which enterprise the Common Shares are attributable. Generally, there is a substantial interest in the share capital of ICTS if the non-resident Shareholder, alone or together with his or her partner (spouse, registered partner or other individuals as defined in the Dutch 2001 Personal Income Tax Act), owns, directly or indirectly, (i) 5% or more of the issued capital of any class of shares in ICTS, (ii) options to acquire 5% or more of the issued capital of any class of shares or (iii) profit-sharing rights to 5% or more of the annual profits or liquidation distributions of ICTS. If an individual, alone or together with his partner, does not have a substantial interest based on these tests, he or she may nevertheless be deemed to have a substantial interest in case certain relatives hold a substantial interest in ICTS. In case of a substantial interest held by a corporate shareholder, a receivable the non-resident Shareholder has from ICTS may also belong to such substantial interest. Non-resident Shareholders owning a substantial interest in ICTS may be subject to income tax upon the occurrence of certain events, for example when they cease to own a substantial interest. The Netherlands' right to levy tax with respect to dividends distributed by ICTS to a non-resident Shareholder or capital gains derived from the sale or disposal of shares in ICTS by a non-resident Shareholder may be limited under a tax convention which is in effect between the country of residence of the shareholder and the Netherlands. In case Dutch income tax is due with respect to dividends distributed by ICTS, Dutch dividend withholding tax levied with respect to such dividends can be credited against the income tax due as a pre-tax. Special rules may apply to non-resident Shareholders who owned a substantial interest or deemed substantial interest under the rules applicable at any time in the past and to non-resident Shareholders who own a substantial interest or deemed substantial interest as a result of modifications of the tax regime for substantial interest holders. As of January 1, 2001, if certain conditions are met a non-resident individual taxpayer can opt to be treated like a resident of the Netherlands for tax purposes. This choice will allow the individual to benefit from deductions and other tax benefits only available to residents of the Netherlands.

Tax assessment in the U.S Under an ongoing tax examination, started in early 2005, by the U.S tax authorities of the U.S. subsidiaries of the Company, through the years ended December 31, 2003, the U.S subsidiaries were required to provide information regarding their treatment of certain expenses. Based on the issues raised, the tax authorities' position and a professional opinion the Company has received, the Company has included a provision in its accounts based on its tax advisors calculations. The Company's management believes that the applicable provision in its financial statements as of December 31, 2006 is adequate to cover probable costs arising from this tax examination if and when they will become to Tax assessments. The matter is under criminal investigation in the Justice Department. Documents on display The Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with these requirements, the Company files reports and other information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These materials may be inspected at the Company's office in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. Documents filed with the SEC may also be read and copied at the SEC's public reference room at Room 1024, Judiciary Plaza Building, 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 and at the regional offices of the SEC located at 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, IL 60661. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. The SEC also maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC. Subsidiary Information Not applicable Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk Foreign Currency Exchange Risk - Only applies to Company's operations outside the USA. In 2007, about 72% of the Companies revenues were derived in the USA. The Company is subject to changes in the primate rate based on the Federal Reserve actions and general market interest fluctuations. The Company believes that moderate interest rate increases will not have a material adverse impact on the results of their operations, or financial position, in the foreseeable future. An increase of 1% in the interest rate would have increased the Company's interest expense for factor advances, bank loans, and other parties, by approximately $150,000 in the year ended December 31, 2008.

Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds Not applicable Item 15. Controls and Procedures. Management's report on internal control over financial reporting (a) Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Based on such review, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that we have in place effective controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. (b) Our management including our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: o pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, o provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and o provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Our management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or override of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation, and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. Our management including our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In conducting its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management based its evaluation on the framework in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management has based the assessment in a scope that includes the significant subsidiaries i.e. ISEC International Security B.V, Huntleigh Corp USA, PI, I-SEC France.; collectively "Subsidiaries". Our management including our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer has concluded based on its assessment, that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007 based on these criteria. -47-

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ICTS International N.V. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit), 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. 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 ICTS International N.V. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of their operations, changes in shareholder equity (deficit) and their cash flows for the years ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As disclosed in Notes 1, 14 and 17, the Company is involved in significant litigation, certain of which relates to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and the Company's insurance carriers have canceled all its war risk policies. In addition, the Company is involved in other potential contingencies including but not limited to (a) a dispute between the Company and the United States Transportation Security Administration ("TSA"), with respect to the basis of calculation of payments for security services rendered by the Company in 2002, in respect of which, the TSA might be claiming refund of material amounts, (b) potential lawsuits pertaining to the Company's discontinued operations of Explore USA, (c) the successful renewal of Procheck and NAS contracts. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1, 14 and 17 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, net working capital deficiency, negative equity, its U.S. subsidiary is in default of its loan covenants and is subject to potential contingencies as discussed in the preceding paragraph. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1(b). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Mahoney Cohen & Company, CPA, P.C. New York, New York June 30, 2008 F-2

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 1 - GENERAL a. Operations ICTS International N.V., including its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as "ICTS" or "the Company"), is a provider of aviation security and other aviation-related services through service contracts with airline companies and airport authorities. As mentioned in section c. below, in 2002 one of the Company's subsidiaries, Huntleigh USA Corporation ("Huntleigh"), derived a substantial portion of its revenues from providing aviation security services to the United States Transportation Security Administration ("TSA"). Commencing November 2002 the Company ceased providing such services to the TSA but continues to provide such services to aviation companies and others. Other activities of the Company in the past were leasing of equipment and development of entertainment projects. In December 2005, the Company decided to discontinue those activities. At that time all the equipment the Company leased was sold to the lessee. See note 2(u) and 7(d). b. The Company's financial position During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company has incurred $2.6 million, $14.1 million and $24.9 million of losses, respectively, which were accompanied by net cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million, $7.6 million and $ 5.2 million respectively. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $11.7 million, negative equity of $20.6 million and its U.S. subsidiary is in default of its loan covenants. In addition, the Company is subject to potential contingencies in connection with the IRS audit (see note 17(g)) and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (see note 14(b)). During 2007 and 2006 the Company received material loans from related parties to finance its operations (see note 20(f)). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Subsequent to the end of the year 2004, the Company's management commenced liquidating its position in several long-term assets as described in Notes 5(a) and 7(d). In addition, during 2005, management has ceased its operations in non-core business as described in note 2(u) and accomplished successfully its penetration to the European security market. Management anticipates that those liquidations and the loans received from the related party will provide the Company with the resources necessary to meet its obligations and that entering into additional service contracts will contribute toward achieving profitability from continuing operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. c. Effect of the events of September 11, 2001 and Aviation and Transportation Security Act On November 19, 2001, as a result of the events of September 11, 2001, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act was signed into law. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act made airport security including security screening operations for passenger air transportation and intrastate air transportation a direct responsibility of the Federal government as administered by the TSA. As a result, in accordance with a contract signed with the TSA ("TSA Contract"), the Company has provided screening services in its airport locations during the transition period through November 2002, when all such activities were transferred to the TSA. As to the dispute with the TSA, see note 14(b)(3). During 2003, the Department of Labor in the US ("DOL") finalized its audit of the Company's subsidiary concerning the pay rates used to compensate employees for services rendered pursuant to the TSA Contract. The DOL concluded that in certain instances, employees had not been paid the correct base rate, fringe benefits, vacation and holiday pay by the subsidiary. As of December 31, 2006 a liability relating to the audit of approximately $7.3 million was included in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated maximum exposure according to the Company's legal advisors. The claim of the DOL has been settled during 2007 for $3 million payable out of any settlement with the TSA. A long-term receivable of $2.9 million and a long-term liability of $3 million are shown in the consolidated financial statements. As of the change in the liability, the Company recorded in 2007 income of $4.3 million which has been reflected as a reduction of the cost of revenues. F-10

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 1 - GENERAL (continued) The TSA Contract indicated that the Company will receive notification in writing at least 30 calendar days in advance of a location transition. Under the provisions of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the "WARN Act"), the Company is required to give 60 days written notification to its employees of an involuntary termination. In 2003 the Company obtained a legal letter from an outside counsel indicating that the Company may have meritorious defenses against the payment of a substantial portion of this liability. Based on the points noted in the legal letter and given the fact that no claims have been filed to date by former employees seeking compensation under the WARN Act provisions, the Company reviewed its original estimate and reduced the estimated liability to $0 and $100 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, by recording a credit to cost of revenues of approximately $100 and $200, respectively, on those years. As to other outstanding issues, see note 14. d. Sale of ICTS Europe Holding B.V. ("ICTS Europe") On October 5, 2000, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") with Fraport AG ("Fraport"), whereby Fraport was to acquire, in two stages of 45% and 55% in 2001 and 2002, respectively, the shares of ICTS Europe. As a result of the sale, the Company has fully divested itself of its European operations except for the operations of the Company's subsidiary in the Netherlands and countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union republics, including Russia and Kazakhstan, and took upon itself certain restrictions on its operations. During 2005, the restrictive covenant expired and since then the Company has successfully re-entered the aviation security business in Europe with contracts with US carriers throughout Europe. e. Renewal of material contracts The Company's subsidiary Procheck has a material contract that expired in February 2008 and was extended until February 2009. If the contract will not be renewed it will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial results. Through I-SEC Group, the Company participated in 2007 in a bid to provide security services for Schiphol International Airport in the Netherlands. The Company was chosen to provide such services for the next five years. This contract ended the activities of the partnership with NAS in which ICTS had 50% holding, see note 5(a)(2). NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the USA ("U.S. GAAP"). The significant accounting policies are as follows: a. Functional currency The major part of the Group's revenues and operations are carried out by the Company subsidiaries in the United States. The functional currency of these entities is the U.S. dollar ("dollar" or "$").The functional currency of the remaining subsidiaries and associated companies, mainly European companies, is their local currency, mainly Euro ("Euro" or "(euro)"). The financial statements of those companies are included in the consolidation, based on translation into dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") 52, "Accounting for Foreign Exchange Exposure," of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States ("FASB"). Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while operating results are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in shareholders' equity, under accumulated other comprehensive loss. F-11

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) b. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported years. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to allowances, income taxes, contingencies, liabilities and valuation impairment of assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. c. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICTS and its over 50%-controlled subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Profits from intercompany transactions, not yet realized outside the Company, have also been eliminated. d. Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents. e. Concentration of cash risk Most of the group's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2007 were deposited with major U.S. and European banks. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is remote. f. Marketable securities and other investments: 1) Marketable securities: The Company classifies its existing marketable securities in accordance with the provisions of FAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as available-for-sale. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value (which is determined based upon the quoted market prices) with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity until realized. Gains and losses on securities sold are included in financial income - net. For all investment securities, unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in the income statement. The Company does not hold these securities for speculative or trading purposes. See also note 6. 2) Other investments Investments in less than 20%-owned, privately-held companies in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are stated at cost. The Company's management evaluates its investments from time to time and, if necessary, recognizes losses for other than temporary declines in the value of these investments. g. Investments in associated companies Investments in companies in which the Company holds a 20% interest or more or in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence, provided it does not have control, are accounted for by the equity method. See also note 5. F-12

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) h. Property and equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful life used in determining depreciation and amortization is as follows: Years ----- Office furniture, equipment, and facilities 3-16 Vehicles 3-7 Leased equipment and leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. i. Goodwill Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of subsidiaries acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Pursuant to FAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually, at December 31 of each year. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has determined that there is no impairment with respect to goodwill based on expected future cash flow examination and based on the results of the acquired companies compared to previous years. j. Other assets and intangible assets The intangible asset pertaining to customer relationships is being amortized until February 1, 2008, see note 4. Technology was amortized over 3 years and was fully amortized at 2005. k. Impairment in value of long-lived assets The Company tests long-lived assets, including definite life intangible assets for impairment, in the event an indication of impairment exists. If the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of these assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets would be written down to their estimated fair values. l. Treasury stock The treasury stock was acquired by the Company for issuance upon the exercise of options issued under employee option plans. The treasury stock is presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity, at its cost. Gains on the sale of these shares, net of related income taxes, will be recorded under "additional paid in capital." m. Revenue recognition Revenue from services is recognized when services are rendered to the Company's customers, based on terms contained in a contractual arrangement, provided the fee is fixed and determinable, the services have been rendered, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. n. Earnings (Losses) per share ("EPS"): 1) Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year, net of treasury stock. 2) Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, net of treasury stock, taking into account the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options granted under stock options plan, using the treasury stock method. Exercisable Options for 1,530, 1,262, and 616 thousand shares of common stock in 2007, 2006 F-13

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) and 2005, respectively, were not included in computed fully-diluted EPS because their effects were anti-dilutive. The total outstanding options for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005 were 1,723, 1,920, and 1,082 thousand, respectively (see note 22). In addition, for 2007, stock options to purchase 669,795 common shares, which would have been dilutive had net income available to common stockholders been positive, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because 2007 net income available to common stockholders was a loss; the inclusion of such dilutive stock options would have been anti-dilutive to the net loss per common share computation. o. Income taxes The provision for income tax is calculated based on ICTS's assumptions as to its entitlements to various benefits under the applicable tax laws in the jurisdiction in which it operates. Penalties regarding taxes are presented as part of selling, general and administrative costs while interest regarding taxes is being presented as financial expenses. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. On the date of adoption there was no impact on our financial statements pertaining to FIN 48 as our uncertain position pertained to the U.S. operations which liability reserves were provided for. FIN 48 requires that tax benefits (expenses) recognized in the financial statements must be at least more likely than not sustained based on technical merits. The amount of benefits (expense) recorded for these positions is measured as the largest benefit (expense) more likely than not to be sustained. Significant judgment is required in making these determinations. Deferred taxes are created for temporary differences between the assets and liabilities as measured in the financial statements and for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the tax laws, and deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of tax benefits the realization of which is not considered likely, based on available evidence. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current, based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or according to the expected reversal date of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting purposes. Deferred taxes in respect to disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, since, under the laws of the Netherlands, such disposal of investments is tax exempt. p. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers' ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is composed of specific receivables doubtful of collection amounting to $507 and $994 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For net bad debts expenses (collection), see schedule of Valuation and Qualifying accounts, attached to this report. As of December 31, 2006, the accounts receivable - trade included $2.9 million due from the TSA. As to the dispute with the TSA, see note 14(b)(3). As of December 31, 2007, the amount was classified as other receivables and investments, long term, see note 6. q. Concentrations of credit risks - allowance for doubtful accounts The Company and its subsidiaries operate mostly in the aviation industry through service contracts. The Company renders services to a large number of airline companies to which it provides credit, with no collateral. Some airline companies may have difficulties in meeting their financial obligations. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly review the creditworthiness of their customers and determine the credit line, if any. F-14

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) r. Advertising costs These costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $111, $115 and $56, respectively. s. Stock-based compensation 1) Employee stock-based compensation Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004) ("FAS 123R"), "Share-Based Payment," and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107"), which was issued in March 2005 by the SEC. FAS 123R addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in exchange for equity instruments of the Company. This statement requires that employee equity awards be accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. SAB 107 provides supplemental implementation guidance on FAS 123R, including guidance on valuation methods, classification of compensation expense, income statement effects, disclosures and other issues. FAS 123R supersedes the Company's previous accounting for its employee stock option plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25") and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by FAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure," for companies electing to apply APB 25. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method permitted by FAS 123R. Under such transition method, the new standard has been implemented as from January 1, 2006, with no restatement of prior periods to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, applying the accelerated vesting method, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123, and previously presented in the pro forma footnote disclosures. Results for prior periods have not been restated as explained above. During 2007, no options were granted. Options granted in 2006 were calculated based on the Lattice method as opposed to the 2004 options that were calculated using the Black - Scholes method. For the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation costs of $373 and $511, respectively. Out of those expenses, $0 and $9, respectively, were recorded under cost of revenues, and $373 and $502, respectively, were recorded under selling, general and administration expenses. The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant with the following weighted-average assumptions: For options granted in ---------------------- 2006 2004 ---- ---- Expected life of options (years) 5 5 Expected volatility 75% 77% Risk free interest rate 5.1% 3.5% Expected dividend yield 0% 0% Forfeiture - Executives 4.2% 0% Forfeiture - Employees 3% 0% In 2002 options were issued that vested over a period of three years with an expiration date of January 1, 2007. The outstanding options expired and were not exercised. The weighted-average fair value price per option granted during 2006, using the Lattice method for 2006 and the Black - Scholes option-pricing model for 2004 was $0.68 and $1.03, respectively. During 2007, 2005 and 2003 no options were granted. F-15

No options were granted to non-employees in 2007. t. Comprehensive Income (Loss) In addition to net income, other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and currency translation adjustments of non-dollar currency financial statements of investee companies. u. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." FAS 144 provides guidance on the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. During 2005 the Company decided to cease its entertainment and leasing activities. 1) On December 28, 2005 the Company sold its lease equipment to the lessee (a related party), see note 7(d). The loss associated with the selling of the equipment totaled to $4,774. 2) After reviewing the financial results of the entertainment segment, the Company decided in December 2005 to cease its operations. As a result of this decision the Company recorded in 2007, 2006 and 2005 income (loss) of $1,962, $(1,415) and ($9,701) respectively, associated with claims regarding rent expenses that the Company has to pay until the year 2019, see also note 14(b)(8).

Recently issued accounting pronouncements FAS 157 In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosure requirements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurement. As applicable to ICTS, this statement will be effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2008. ICTS does not expect that the adoption of FAS 157 will have a significant impact on its financial statements. FAS 159 In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. As applicable to ICTS, this statement will be effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2008. ICTS does not expect that the adoption of FAS 159 will have a significant impact on its financial statements. EITF 07-3 In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-3, "Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities" ("EITF 07- 03"). EITF 07-03 provides guidance on the capitalization of non-refundable advance payments for goods and services to be used in future research and development activities until such goods have been delivered or the related services have been performed. As applicable to ICTS, this pronouncement will be effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. F-18

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) FAS 141R In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141 (revised 2007) ("FAS 141R"), "Business Combinations" FAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. Key changes include: acquired in process research and development will no longer be expensed on acquisition, but capitalized and amortized over its useful life; fair value will be based on market participant assumptions; acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred; and restructuring costs will generally be expensed in periods after the acquisition date. Early adoption is not permitted. As applicable to ICTS this statement will be effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company believes that the adoption of FAS 141R could have an impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, the impact would depend on the nature, terms and magnitude of acquisitions it consummates in the future. FAS 160 In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin 51" ("FAS 160"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for non-controlling interests in a subsidiary and deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Early adoption is not permitted. As applicable to ICTS, this statement will be effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2009. ICTS is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of FAS 160 would have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently applied, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH December 31, ------------ 2007 2006 ---- ---- Restricted cash (a) $1,795 Other (b) $665 ------ ---- $1,795 $665 ====== ==== (a) During 2007 the Company won a bid to provide security services to Schiphol International Airport in the Netherlands. As part of the terms it had to provide a guarantee of (euro) 1.2 million ($1.8 million as of December 31, 2007). The Company provided such guarantee and at the same time had to deposit the same amount as cash collateral security.

The provision was made based on continuing deterioration in Bilu's financial results. In May 2007, the Company was released from part of those guarantees and received back an amount of $441. In July 2007, the Company was released from an additional guarantee of $224. The provision for these amounts was recorded in other income, see note 16 (a). F-19

("PI") to 100% for a cash consideration of $2,845. PI provides security services in the Netherlands at Schiphol Airport Amsterdam. The purchase price exceeded the acquired share of the fair market value of the identified net assets of PI by approximately $1,879, which was allocated to the contract with Schiphol Airport (customer relationship). This intangible asset is amortized by the straight-line method, over its estimated useful life of 10 years. During 2006 Management revaluated its previous estimation and decided to depreciate the intangible, which is included in other assets (see note 9), until the end of the contract with Schiphol, which ended on February 2008, based mainly on the high competition in the market. The total amortization for the years 2007 and 2006 was $648, compared to $188 in 2005. In January 2008 PI got a one-year extension for the contract with Schiphol until February 1, 2009.

Property and equipment from continuing operations are composed as follows: December 31, ------------ 2007 2006 ---- ---- Cost: Equipment and facilities $ 3,659 $ 4,007 Vehicles 817 801 Leasehold improvements 299 125 ------- ------- 4,775 4,933 Less - Accumulated depreciation and amortization (3,256) (3,548) ------- ------- $ 1,519 $ 1,385 ======= ======= b. Depreciation expense from continuing operations totaled $570, $481 and $520 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During 2007 and 2006 there was no depreciation expense from discontinued operations, compared to $2,533 in 2005. c. A portion of the Company's equipment is pledged as collateral for bank loans. d. In June 2002 equipment in the amount of $23.5 million was purchased and leased back to the seller, a related party and private Dutch company, for 7 years in an operating lease agreement (with respect to equipment in an amount of $12.5 million, the Company entered into a purchase and lease agreement that replaced a predecessor acquirer, see below). The seller had the option to buy back the assets after 5 or 7 years, at their fair value, which would have been determined by an appraiser. The Company has undertaken to repay the predecessor acquirer's liability to a bank, in an amount of $8.7 million, and issued him a promissory note. The loan was non-recourse. The note bore annual interest of Euro-Libor plus 2.05%. In December 2004, ICTS determined that the future cash flows from the leased equipment will not recover its investment, and as a result recorded an impairment loss of $2,247 in addition to an impairment loss of $6,042 that was recorded in 2003. The value of the equipment was based on a cash flow projection that incorporated an external appraisal of the equipment's terminal value at the option exercise date. In June 2005, the Company granted the lessee an option to purchase the leased equipment for an amount of $5 million plus an amount equal to the related loan balance on the exercise date, thus providing for the possibility of early termination of the leasing agreement. The option period started on June 1, 2005 and expired on September 30, 2006. As a consideration for granting the option fee the lessee was required to pay ICTS an option fee of $20 per month, which should have been deducted from the $5 million in case of exercising the option. In July 2005 the Company received an advance payment of $1 million on lease installments which would be deducted from the purchase price of $5 million were the option to be exercised. F-24

The loss from the sale amounted to $4,774, and is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations of that year. e. Equipment and facilities included an amount of $15,906 relating to the entertainment sites in Baltimore, Maryland and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Baltimore facility started operations in June 2003. The facility in Atlantic City commenced operations in June 2004. Those locations have been closed since December 2005. See also note 2(u). Based on the performances of the entertainment sites, the Company's management revaluated these two facilities during 2004 and determined that their forecasted cash flows will not cover the investments. Based on their fair value that was calculated using a discounted cash flows model, the Company recognized an impairment loss and wrote off its investment in those sites in an amount of $7,691 in 2004, in addition to an impairment loss of $7,513 that was recorded in 2003.

The Revolver provides a borrowing base up to $8 million based on 85% of defined Eligible Accounts Receivable and 95% of required Certificates of Deposit less Letter of Credit obligations. The interest rate is one percent (1%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate for loan balances in excess of the Libor Rate Loans. As of December 31, 2007, the restricted cash of 3.5 million held by the Company serves as other collateral on the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2007, $5.7 million was outstanding and $1.8 million was available under the revolving credit facility for additional borrowings. The borrowing agreement also provides for a commitment guarantee of up to a maximum of $3.5 million for letters of credit and requires a per annum fee equal to 3%. The Company had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $1 million at December 31, 2007. Based on the revolving line of credit agreement, the subsidiary established a time deposit account, with the lender as cash collateral security. The amount bears annual interest of 4.25%. This deposit is being shown in the balance sheet as restricted cash - long term. On December 31, 2005, an amended agreement was signed which adjusted the minimum tangible net worth covenant, the Interest Coverage covenant and the annual Capital Expenditure Limitation covenant. In July 2006, a second amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement was executed. This amendment suspended the Interest Coverage covenant until March 31, 2007 and replaced this covenant with a Stop Loss requirement. The Stop Loss requirement was based on pre-established quarterly pre-tax net loss amounts through December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, a third amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement was executed to give recognition to the tax expense adjustments applicable to prior year taxes made subsequent to executing the second amendment, adjusting the tangible net worth covenant amount. In July 2007, a fourth amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement was executed to allow the Letter of Credit to extend beyond the maturity date to October 1, 2008.

The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. However, as of March 31, 2008, the Company was in violation of its interest coverage ratio. The bank agreed to waive this covenant violation subject to the issuance of the stand-alone financial statements. The financial statements have not been issued as of the date of the filing and the debt is classified as current. F-26

Insurance policies for employees in managerial positions provide coverage for severance pay and pension liabilities of managerial personnel. Severance pay liabilities not covered by the pension funds are fully provided for in these consolidated financial statements, as if they were payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis, based upon the number of years of service and the most recent monthly salary (one month's salary for each year worked) of the Company's employees in Israel. The net expenses from accrued severance pay totaled $6, $15 and $124 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES a.

Contingent liabilities 1) As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, numerous lawsuits have commenced against Huntleigh and ICTS. Huntleigh and ICTS have been named in approximately 64 and 61 lawsuits, respectively. All of the cases were filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The cases are in their early stages with depositions having begun on September 12, 2006. The Company reviewed its security services provided at Boston's Logan International Airport, from which one of the airplanes commandeered by the terrorists departed, subsequent to September 11, 2001 for evidence of non-compliance with the policies of the Federal Aviation Administration. Based on the contracts with the airlines, the Company may be indemnified by the airlines if the Company is found to have followed the procedures specified by the Federal Aviation Administration. However, if the Company is found to have violated these screening regulations, it could be liable for damages.

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued) The Company maintains an aviation insurance policy, which may provide limited coverage for liabilities that may be assessed against the Company as a result of the events of September 11, 2001. The liability under these cases may, by statute, be limited to the policy coverage. A number of personal injury cases have been settled or are in the process of being settled at no cost to the Company. Management is unable to estimate the impact of the litigation or fines, as described above. Accordingly, no provision in respect of these matters has been made. 2) As a provider of security services, the Company faces potential liability claims in the event of any successful terrorist attempt in circumstances associated with the Company. After the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Company's insurance carriers canceled all war risk insurance policies carried by the Company. 3) On February 17, 2002, the Company was awarded a security services contract (the "TSA Contract") by the United Stated Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") to continue to provide security services in all of its current airport locations until the earlier of either the completed transition of these security services on an airport basis to the U.S. Federal Government or November 19, 2002. In accordance with the terms of the Contract, the U.S. Federal Government provided the Company with a non-interest bearing partial payment of $26 million to be paid back on a monthly basis of $1.3 million at the beginning of every month commencing April 1, 2002. On December 31, 2002, approximately $11.7 million of the $26 million had been paid back to the TSA. No additional payments have been made back to the TSA in 2007 and 2006. As of December 31, 2006 ,the amount due from the TSA with respect to services provided under the contract aggregates $17.3 million; this amount, net of $14.3 million, the balance of the prepayment, was presented among trade receivables. During 2003, the Department of Labor in the US ("DOL") finalized its audit of the Company's subsidiary concerning the pay rates used to compensate employees for services rendered pursuant to the TSA Contract. The DOL concluded that in certain instances, employees had not been paid the correct base rate, fringe benefits, vacation and holiday pay by the subsidiary. As of December 31, 2006, a liability relating to the audit of approximately $7.3 million was included in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated maximum exposure according to the Company's legal advisors. The claim of the DOL has been settled during 2007 for $3 million payable out of any settlement with the TSA. A long-term receivable of $2.9 million and a long-term liability of $3 million are shown in the 2007 consolidated financial statements. As of the change in the liability, the Company recorded income in 2007 of $4.3 million, which reduced the cost of revenues. The TSA filed a contract dispute with the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition ("ODRA") in connection with Huntleigh's February 2002 contract seeking reimbursement of an alleged overpayment of principal in the amount of $59.2 million. This claim follows the lawsuit which Huntleigh has already filed against the TSA for repeated breaches of its contract with Huntleigh. Both claims are now pending in mediation. Huntleigh intends to vigorously challenge the TSA's claim which it asserts is devoid of any factual or legal merit. The TSA's filing comes on the heels of a recent decision by ODRA granting Huntleigh's motion for partial summary judgment against the TSA. ODRA has granted Huntleigh's motion for partial summary judgment on Huntleigh's claim that the TSA breached the contract by failing to give appropriate notice for transitioning airport locations. A separate hearing will be held to determine the amount of damages due to Huntleigh on this claim. With regards to the claim for the $59.2 million overpayment, Huntleigh has filed a motion to dismiss the action which has been denied. At this stage, Management and its legal counsel are unable to estimate the final outcome of the above mentioned dispute. Accordingly, no provision has been made for this matter. F-30

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued) 4) The Company has commenced an action against the U.S. Government with regard to the Fifth Amendment rights relating to the taking of its business. In December 2004 the Court denied the Government's motion to dismiss the case. A motion for reconsideration was filed by the defendant and denied. The trial for this action has been held and in March 2007 the court decided against the Company. The Company appealed the decision. In May 2008 the USA Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling against the Company. 5) In September 2005, Avitecture, Inc, (f/k/a Audiovisual-Washington, Inc.) ("Avitecture"), filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against ITA-Atlantic City, LLC ("ITA") with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated March 20, 2003, ITA owes Avitecture $222 for audio, video and control systems it provided for ITA's use in tourist attraction in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but for which Avitecture claims it has not been paid. The case was decided against the Company in an arbitration proceeding awarding Avitecture $200. The arbitrator's decision was affirmed by the Superior Court of NJ in May 2007. The Company appealed this decision. In September 2007, ITA k/a Explore Atlantic City, LLC filed bankruptcy under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy code. The Company filed a petition in bankruptcy with the court. The Appellate Court affirmed the arbitrator's ruling in February 2008. In the interim, the bankruptcy case was closed. 6) In November 2005, Turner Construction Company ("Turner") filed a Demand for Arbitration and Mediation against Explore Atlantic City, LLC ("Explore") with the American Arbitration Association in Somerset, NJ. The Demand for Arbitration alleges that pursuant to a written agreement dated October 28, 2003, Explore owes Turner $948 for work and/or services performed pursuant to the contract, but for which Explore has not paid Turner. In an arbitration proceeding the arbitrator awarded Turner $956 plus interest and costs, for which award was affirmed on appeal. In October 2007, Explore filed a petition of bankruptcy with the New Jersey Superior Court. The court thereafter stayed the proceedings and dismissed the action without prejudice as a result of the bankruptcy filing. To date, Turner has not moved to reinstate or reopen the case. The full amount of $948 was accrued as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. 7) In 2005 the Company's subsidiary, ICTS USA, Inc., filed a refund claim with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in the amount of $2.4 million, which was reflected on the December 31, 2005 year-end financial statements as a receivable. The Company made a demand to the IRS for the refund. Thereafter, by letter dated August 15, 2006, the Company was advised that a criminal investigation by the United States Department of Justice, Tax Division is ongoing by a grand jury regarding possible criminal tax violations by the subsidiary for the tax years 2002 and 2003 regarding certain royalty payments made to the Company. In January 2008, the Company was advised that the current investigation was withdrawn and the Company received the refund of $2.4 million and interest of $373. The refund was presented in the 2007 financials as income from discontinued operations, see note 2(u). 8) Two of the Company's subsidiaries have been sued by their landlord (which is the same entity for both properties) alleging breach of the respective leases. One suit is in Circuit Court for Baltimore City affecting the Company's Explore Baltimore facility, and the other is in the Superior Court of New Jersey affecting the Company's Explore Atlantic City facility. Through legally defective service, the landlord was able to obtain orders for possession of both of these locations. A petition to open the Atlantic City action has been filed and one is being prepared for the Baltimore action. In addition to seeking possession, in both cases the landlord is seeking unpaid rent for the entire term of the leases, $5,970 in Atlantic City and $4,444 in Baltimore. While a resolution of both actions is being discussed, a standstill of the proceedings is being negotiated. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company accrued $8.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The changes in the accruals were done based on changes in the claims against the Company and are being presented as part of the discontinued operations - see note 2(u). F-31

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued) The Company filed a petition in bankruptcy for each of the companies. However, the landlord was able to prevail against the Company, with respect to a guarantee given by the Company in connection to the lease in Baltimore. The Company also rendered that the landlord could proceed to prove its damages with respect to the Baltimore lease. In January 2008, the Baltimore litigation was conducted. At the end of the trial a judgment in the amount of $2.6 million was awarded in favor of the landlord. The Company has filed an appeal in its litigation to challenge the judgment on behalf of ICTS International N.V. The Atlantic City litigation was reopened in state of court in January 2008 and is still ongoing. 9) From time to time various claims against the Company, some of which are in litigation, have been alleged by former employees, mainly for wrongful termination and labor-related issues. Some of the claims are in their earlier stages and it is impossible to determine the amount of contingent liability involved, if any. c. Restrictions on operations The Company was in dispute with Fraport A.G. International Airport Services Worldwide in relation to alleged unlawful use of the letter combination "ICTS" by the Company. Fraport initiated proceedings before the district court of Amsterdam. The principal amount claimed was (euro)57.7 million ($85 million as of December 31, 2007). This dispute has been settled during 2008 without any liability to the Company during 2008. d. As to tax assessments, see note 17(g). e. As to the guarantee given to Bilu Investment Ltd., see note 16(a).

ICTS acquired the shares in that company from Rogosin Development and Holding Ltd. ("Rogosin"), which was an affiliated company of Leedan. At the time Rogosin and Leedan held another 18% interest in Bilu. ICTS has granted bank guarantees of $2,515 in respect of Bilu's obligations, of which $1,400 is on behalf of Leedan and Rogosin. To secure the bank guarantees ICTS has pledged bank deposits at the same amounts. As a result of continuing deterioration in the financial results of Bilu, on December 31, 2004 Management decided to write off its investment in Bilu in the amount of $227 and to fully provide for its bank guarantees in the amount of $2,515, including the guaranty share of Leedan and Rogosin as a result of their financial positions. During May and July 2007, the Company was released from its guarantee for amounts of $441 and $224, respectively, see note 3(b). Accordingly, the provision decreased to $1,850 as of December 31, 2007. The recorded provision for these guarantees is presented as a reduction to the restricted deposits that the Company has deposited at the banks where the guaranties were issued. b. The Company has written off several investments in the past. During 2005 an amount of $110 was paid to ICTS from two of those companies in which ICTS invested and which were completely dissolved through 2005. In January 2006 the Company sold its holding on YCD which was written off in previous years. The total gain from the sale was $224. During 2007, an additional $54 was received for the sale of an investment that was written off in the past. During 2007 and 2006 the Company sold 155,000 shares of Inksure each year for $295 and $419 - see note 5(a). The gain from those sales totaled $295 and $352, respectively. c. Write off investment in Plangraphics - see note 6(a). d. In 2005 the Company sold the property it used to lease - see note 7(d). The loss from that sale amounted to $4,774. At December 2007 the Company decided to recognize a full impairment of its investment in Rainbow, totaled $55, see also note 5. NOTE 17 - INCOME TAXES 1) Each subsidiary of ICTS is subject to tax according to the tax rules applying with respect to its place of incorporation or residency. ICTS is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and is, therefore, subject to the tax laws of the Netherlands. Inter-company payments are subject to withholding taxes at varying rates according to their nature and the payer's country of incorporation or residency. As the Company has subsidiaries in different countries, each subsidiary is subject to tax according to tax rules applying in the subsidiary location. F-33

Carry forward tax losses As of December 31, 2007, the Company has carry forward tax losses in the Netherlands, in the amount of approximately $10.1 million. The carryforward tax losses in the U.S.A. amount to $10.9 million which will expire in 2025 and 2026. Utilization of such losses is limited in certain circumstances. g. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Balance at January 1, 2007 $4,790 Additions for tax positions of prior years 659 ------ Balance at December 31, 2007 $5,449 ====== 1) Tax assessment Under ongoing tax examination of the U.S subsidiaries of the Company, by the U.S tax authorities, through the years ended December 31, 2002 to 2004, the subsidiaries were required to provide information regarding their treatment of certain expenses. By letter dated August 15, 2006, the Company was advised that a criminal investigation by the United States Department of Justice, Tax Division was ongoing by a grand jury regarding possible criminal tax violations by the subsidiary for the tax years 2002 and 2003 regarding certain royalty payment made to the Company. In 2008 the Company was advised that the criminal investigation was dismissed. However, the IRS continues with its audit for the years 2002-2004. Based on the issues raised and the tax authorities' position, the Company has included a provision in its accounts in an amount which, based on an opinion of its tax advisers, the Company considers being adequate to cover costs arising from the tax examination if and when it will become a tax assessment. See Note 11 for tax accrual. During 2007, the Company recorded in the selling, administrative, and general costs an expense of $1,150 for possible tax penalties resulting from the audit. The Company recorded additional $2,179 in interest expenses for possible interest that might be requested by the IRS following the result of this audit. In February 2008, the Company received from the IRS a refund of $2,470 plus interest of $373 regarding its discontinued operations in the previous years. This amount was withheld by the IRS because of the criminal investigation. Once the investigation was dismissed, the refund was released to the Company. This amount is shown as a current asset from discontinued operations at December 31, 2007. F-36

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 18- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 1) Fair market value of financial instruments Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, the fair market value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt from continuing operations approximates the carrying value as the interest rates are variable. Furthermore, the carrying value of other financial instruments potentially subject to credit risk (principally consisting of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans from related party) also approximates fair market value, due to the short-term nature of the instrument or its variable rate of interest. The Company has a long-term liability of $8.5 million from discontinued operations, see note 12(a)(3). This liability was recorded using a capitalization rate of 7.25% to show the liability at fair market value in accordance with FAS 144 and based on the claim against the company. All other short-term debt from discontinued operations approximates their carrying value. b. Risk management: 1) The Company operates in the USA, Europe and other countries, which gives rise to exposure to market risks in respect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company did not utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce these risks. Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be incurred if any party failed to perform according to the terms of the financial instrument. Credit risk may arise from financial instruments that have a significant exposure to individual debtors or groups of debtors, or when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic and other conditions. 2) As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, two major customers accounted for 23% and 34% of accounts receivable from continuing operations, respectively. The TSA represented one of those customers for 2006 in the amount of approximately $3 million. This receivable has been outstanding since 2002, see note 14(2)(b)(3). In 2007 the receivable was reclassified and shown as other receivables - long term, as the issue is under litigation and Management estimates it will not be resolved during 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, sales to major customers (constituting 10% or more of the Company's consolidated revenues from continuing operations), derived from aviation service contracts, amounted 29%, 25% and 25% of revenues, respectively, as set forth below: Year ended December 31, ----------------------- 2007 2006 2005 ---- ---- ---- (% of consolidated revenues) ---------------------------- Customer A -- 13% 15% Customer B 11% -- 10% Customer C 18% 12% -- 3) The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, short-term investments, and long-term investments (see note 6). The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and time deposits with high quality credit institutions. The Company provides normal trade credit, in the ordinary course of business, to its customers. Based on past experience and the identity of its current customers, the Company believes that its net accounts receivable exposure is limited. F-37

ICTS INTERNATIONAL N.V. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (US $ in thousands) NOTE 18- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) 4) The Company is currently engaged in direct operations in numerous countries and is therefore subject to risks associated with international operations (including economic or political instability and trade restrictions), any of which could have a significant negative impact on the Company's ability to deliver its services on a competitive and timely basis and on the results of the Company's operations. Although the Company has not encountered significant difficulties in connection with the sale or provision of its services in international markets, future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of trade restrictions or economic or political instability in the areas where the Company operates, could have an adverse effect on the Company. For example, the Company currently provides services at several airports in the former Soviet Union. The Company's ability to continue operations in the former Soviet Union may be adversely affected by future changes in legislation or by changes in the political environment. NOTE 19 - SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company adopted FAS 131, which establishes disclosure and reporting requirements for segments. Until December 2005 the Company had three operating segments: Aviation, Leasing and Entertainment. In December 2005, the Company decided to discontinue its activities on the Leasing and the Entertainment segments. As a result of that the Company has today only one business segment - Aviation. a.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the company received loans in an aggregate amount of $6,528 and $2,652, respectively, from a related party, indirectly through a significant shareholder as bridging finance. These loans are evidenced by a secured Promissory Note. All loans and accrued interest were due no later then April 1, 2008.
