ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company’s plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, particularly in view of the Company’s limited operations, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those express or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth in this report under the headings “The Company,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time on its behalf.

THE COMPANY

Overview

     CDSI Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) holds limited amounts of cash and an approximate 0.2% interest on a fully diluted basis in Dialog Group Inc. (“Dialog”, formerly known as IMX Pharmaceuticals Inc.). Prior to February 2000, its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. (“CDS”), was primarily engaged in marketing and leasing a prepaid, wireless, remote-operated retail inventory control and dispensing system for tobacco products called the Coinexx Star 10. Prior to October 2000, CDS also owned traditional cigarette vending machines and a related vending route. In February 2000, the Company terminated all operations relating to marketing and leasing the Coinexx Star 10 system. On October 5, 2000, CDS completed the sale to Gutlove & Shirvant, Inc. (“Gutlove”) of the assets of its cigarette vending route, including vending machines and a van. Dialog is a provider of relationship marketing communications services, business and consumer targeting databases for the healthcare, financial and other direct-to-customer, direct-to-professional business markets.

 


Table of Contents

     The Company intends to seek new business opportunities. As the Company has only limited cash resources, the Company’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. As of the date of this report, the Company has not identified any potential acquisition or investment. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future financial condition.

Company History

     The Company was incorporated in Delaware in December 1993 under the name PC411, Inc. In January 1999, it changed its name to CDSI Holdings Inc. to reflect the change in its principal business. The Company was originally formed to develop an on-line service that transmits name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally to users of personal computers. In May 1998 the Company acquired CDS and, in December 1998, CDS acquired substantially all of the assets of TD Rowe Corporation’s New York cigarette vending route. In November 1998, the Company transferred substantially all of the non-cash assets and certain liabilities used in its on-line data distribution business to ThinkDirectMarketing Inc. (“TDMI”) in exchange for an initial 42.5% interest in that company. The other investors of TDMI included Acxiom Corporation, Cater Barnard plc and TDMI’s management and employees. In January 2002, Dialog acquired all the stock of TDMI that it did not already own, and the Company presently holds 280,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.

     Effective November 12, 2003, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CDS merged with the Company as the surviving corporation.

ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc.

     On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed substantially all the non-cash assets and certain liabilities related to its on-line electronic delivery information service to TDMI, and received preferred stock of TDMI. On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI that it did not already own by exercising an option previously granted by the remaining TDMI stockholders. The Company received 8,250 shares of Dialog Class B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for its interest in TDMI. Each share of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend of $4.00 on December 31 of each year. The dividend was payable at the option of Dialog in shares of its Common Stock. The shares of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock to be received by the Company were initially convertible into 165,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.

     On November 4, 2002, the holders of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock and Dialog agreed to (i) increase the number of common shares into which the Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was convertible from 1,575,000 to 3,150,000 and (ii) eliminate the annual dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock. As a result, the Class B Preferred Stock held by CDSI became convertible into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its Class B Preferred Shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock for $4,888 in 2004. Based on public filings by Dialog, management estimates that CDSI’s interest in Dialog is approximately 0.2% on a fully-diluted basis.

     Dialog is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is required to file periodic and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (symbol “DLGG”). However, Dialog was delinquent in filing its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 which was not filed until January 26, 2004. As a result, its Common Stock was delisted, effective December 31, 2003, from trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. Dialog was also delinquent in filing its Form 10-KSB for the

-2-


Table of Contents

year ended December 31, 2003, which was not filed until April 29, 2004. Effective February 8, 2005, Dialog’s common stock resumed trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company had two employees, its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, both of whom are also employees of New Valley Corporation (“New Valley”), its largest stockholder. The Company believes that it has good relations with its employees.

RISK FACTORS

     Accumulated Deficit; History of Losses. At December 31, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.1 million. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. There is a risk that the Company will continue to incur operating losses.

     Limited Resources and No Source of Operating Revenues. At December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $122,946 and net working capital of $126,096. Since the sale of CDS’s vending route in October 2000, the Company has had no source of operating revenue. The Company will not achieve any significant revenues until the consummation of an acquisition or investment, if ever. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any acquisition or investment, if achieved, will result in material revenues from its operations or that it will operate on a profitable basis.

     A Limited Trading Market Exists for Dialog Group Inc. The Company owns 280,000 shares of Common Stock of Dialog, which are carried at $10,500 on the Company’s Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, the Company has classified these shares as “Investment Securities Available for Sale” as of December 31, 2004. The Dialog Common Stock is carried at fair value, based on the last trade prior to December 31, 2004, and net unrealized gains are included as a component of stockholders’ equity. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will ultimately realize fair value for its Dialog shares as there is only a limited trading market for the shares and the Company may not be able to sell any material portion of its shares at prevailing market prices. During 2004, the average daily trading volume of Dialog’s Common Stock was approximately 92,838 shares, with 104 days of 252 trading days having no trading activity. No assurances can be given that an orderly trading market will be maintained for Dialog’s Common Stock as Dialog was delinquent in filing a quarterly report with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2003 and, as a result, its shares were delisted from the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. Following the delisting, the Dialog shares traded on the OTC Pink Sheets until the shares resumed trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board on February 8, 2005. See Note 3 to the Company’s Financial Statements.

     Additional Financing Requirements. The Company’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend upon the availability of, and its ability to secure, new equity or debt financing. The Company has no commitments for any financing. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate levels of revenues and cash flows sufficient from any acquisition or investment to fund operations or that the Company will be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms, if at all, to achieve profitable operations.

     “Blind Pool”; Broad Discretion of Management. Prospective investors who invest in the Company will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any proposed transactions. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of

-3-


Table of Contents

management in connection with the application of the Company’s working capital and the selection of an acquisition or investment target. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by the Company will permit the Company to achieve profitable operations.

     Acquisition and Investment Risks. As part of its business strategy, the Company may evaluate new acquisition and investment opportunities. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations and products or services of the acquired companies, the expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition and subsequent assimilation of operations and products or services and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisitions or investments or that completed acquisitions or investments will contribute favorably to the Company’s operations and future financial condition.

     Dependence Upon Executive Officers and Board of Directors. The ability of the Company to successfully effect a transaction will be largely dependent upon the efforts of its management and the Board of Directors. The Company only has two employees, none of whom work full-time for the Company. No assurance can be given that the Board of Directors and management will be successful in consummating a transaction and achieving profitability.

     Limited Trading Market. During 1999, the Company’s securities were delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap market for failure to comply with the minimum listing maintenance requirements. As a result, the Company’s securities currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. Consequently, a stockholder could likely find it more difficult to sell or to obtain quotations as to prices of the Company’s securities. In addition, there is a limited trading market in the Company’s securities. During 2004, the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock was approximately 2,697 shares, with 192 days of 252 trading days having no trading activity. No assurances can be given that the Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or that an orderly trading market will be maintained for the Company’s Common Stock.

     Absence of Full-Time Management Personnel. In November 1998, all of the Company’s executive officers resigned and were hired by TDMI. In addition, in February 1999, the former President of CDS resigned. The Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer are executive officers of New Valley. Neither of these individuals devotes his full time and attention to the affairs of the Company.

     Concentration of Stock Ownership. Alki Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Valley, beneficially owns approximately 55.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. As a result, New Valley, through its subsidiary, controls all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the appointment of officers and approval of significant corporate transactions including a merger, an acquisition or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to a State of Delaware statute regulating business combinations, which may also hinder or delay a change of control.

     Absence of Dividends. The Company has never paid nor does it expect in the foreseeable future to pay any dividends.

     Limitation on Director Liability. To the extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors for monetary damages for breaches of a director’s fiduciary duty, including breaches that constitute gross negligence. As a result, under certain circumstances, neither the Company nor its stockholders may be able to recover damages from directors.

     Dilution. The Board of Directors of the Company, without any action by the stockholders, is authorized to designate and issue additional classes or series of capital stock (including classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such classes or series. The issuance of any new class or series of capital stock would not only dilute the ownership interest of the current stockholders of the Company but may also adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The rights of holders of preferred stock and other classes of common stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights of the holders of the existing class of Common Stock in terms of the payment of ordinary and liquidating dividends and voting rights.

     Forward-looking Statements. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “anticipate,” “believes,” “expects,” “future” and “intends” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described above and elsewhere in this report.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     The Company’s corporate offices are located in the executive offices of New Valley. Until April 2003, CDS leased approximately 5,738 square feet of office space in Fort Lee, New Jersey that was previously used for its corporate offices, sales, customer service and administrative functions. From January 2003 until April 2003, the Company sublet at its cost the New Jersey facility on a month-to-month basis. In April 2003, the Company reached a settlement with the lessor where it was released from the remaining lease obligations of $76,124 in exchange for the forfeiture of a security deposit of $18,505. The Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for the foreseeable future.

     The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

     Based on public filings by Dialog, management estimates that the Company owns an approximate 0.2% interest in Dialog on a fully diluted basis. The Company intends to seek new investments in other business opportunities. As the Company has only limited cash resources, the Company’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future financial condition.

ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc.

     On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed substantially all the non-cash assets and certain liabilities related to its on-line electronic delivery information service to TDMI, and received preferred stock of TDMI. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Company’s former investment in TDMI.

     On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI it did not already own by exercising an option previously granted by the remaining TDMI stockholders. The Company received convertible preferred stock of Dialog in exchange for its interest in TDMI, and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its Class B Preferred Shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock for $4,888 in 2004. The Company’s remaining 280,000 Dialog shares may be sold by the Company pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933. See Notes 3 and 4 to the Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

     Revenues

     For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not generate revenues from operations.

     Expenses

     Expenses associated with corporate activities were $41,776 and $52,209 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The expenses in both years were primarily associated with costs necessary to maintain a public company. The decrease in expenses in the 2004 periods primarily relate to lower audit fees accrued for CDSI’s 2004 annual audit as a result of CDSI changing independent registered public accounting firms in the third quarter of 2004 and lower printing expenses in 2004 versus 2003. The expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 have been reduced by adjustments of previously established accruals of $2,605. The adjustment in 2003 related to a liability established when the Company vacated previously leased office space. The Company evaluates accruals on a quarterly basis and adjusts as appropriate.

     Other Income

     Other income for the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted of gains on the sale of investments and interest income. CDSI recorded a $4,888 gain on its disposal of 50,000 shares of Dialog

-7-


Table of Contents

stock for the year ended December 31, 2004. See Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Interest income was $1,675 and $2,037 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower prevailing interest rates and lower cash balances in 2004 versus 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At December 31, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.1 million. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and it expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will not continue to incur operating losses.

     The Company has limited available cash, limited cash flow, limited liquid assets and no credit facilities. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operations and, as a consequence, financing has been required to fund ongoing operations. Since completion of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”) in May 1997, the Company has primarily financed its operations with the net proceeds of the IPO. The funds were used to complete the introduction of the PC411 Service over the Internet, to expand marketing, sales and advertising, to develop or acquire new services or databases, to acquire CDS and for general corporate purposes.

     In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 2,322,500 Redeemable Class A Warrants (the “Warrants”), including 1,000,000 of which were held by New Valley. The Warrants, which entitled the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $6.10, expired unexercised on May 13, 2002.

     Cash used for operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $41,776 and $50,753, respectively.

     Cash provided from investing activities of $4,888 for the year ended December 31, 2004 consisted of gains on the sale of 50,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. See Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

     The Company does not expect significant capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2005.

     At December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $122,946. The Company does not currently have any commitments for any additional financing, and there can be no assurance that any such commitments can be obtained. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to its existing stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve pledging some or all of its assets and may contain restrictive covenants with respect to raising future capital and other financial and operational matters.

     Inflation and changing prices had no material impact on revenues or the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

     The Company’s 280,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, the Company has classified these shares as “Investment Securities Available for Sale” as of September 30, 2004. The Dialog Common Stock is carried at fair value ($14,280), based on the last trade prior to September 30, 2004, and net unrealized gains are included as a component of stockholders’ equity. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will ultimately realize fair value for its Dialog shares as there is only a limited

Table of Contents

trading market for the shares and the Company may not be able to sell any material portion of its shares at prevailing market prices. No assurances can be given that an orderly trading market will be maintained for Dialog’s Common Stock. Dialog was delinquent in filing a quarterly report with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as a result, its Common Stock was delisted, effective December 31, 2003, from the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. Following the delisting, the Dialog shares traded on the OTC Pink Sheets until the shares resumed trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board on February 8, 2005. Dialog was also delinquent in filing its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was not filed until April 29, 2004. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock for $4,888 in the third quarter of 2004.

     Management is currently evaluating alternatives to supplement the Company’s present cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity requirements over the next twelve months. Such alternatives include seeking additional investors and/or lenders and disposing of the shares of Dialog Common Stock held by the Company. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that it will be able to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

     The Company or its affiliates, including New Valley, may, from time to time, based upon present market conditions, purchase shares of the Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Reference is made to the Financial Statements, the report thereon and notes thereto, commencing on page F-1 to this report.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     On September 7, 2004, the Audit Committee voted to dismiss the independent registered public accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and approve the engagement of the firm of Becher Della Torre Gitto & Company PC, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.

     The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers on the financial statements of CDSI as of and for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle and during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and through September 7, 2004 there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years.

The By-laws permit the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy and such director may serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. Officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

     The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Lundgren and Morris. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Lundgren is an “audit committee financial expert”, and that Messrs. Lundgren and Morris are “independent”, as those terms are defined under the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. In determining that Messrs. Lundgren and Morris are “independent”, the Board used the definition of independence in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms which they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that, during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, all officers and directors complied with applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Code of Ethics

     The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s two employees, its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

See “Compensation of Directors.”

Stock Options

     In order to attract and retain persons necessary for the business of the Company, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) covering up to 750,000 shares, pursuant to which officers, directors and key employees of the Company and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive and/or non-incentive stock options. The Option Plan, which expires ten years from the date of its adoption, is administered by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. The selection of participants, allotment of shares, determination of price and other conditions relating to the grant of options is determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted under the Option Plan to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock may not exceed five years and its exercise price may be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.

     Under the Option Plan, each director who is not a full-time employee of the Company, immediately upon first taking office, is granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Options for 3,000 shares covered thereby are exercisable immediately and options for 3,000 shares become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Subsequently, the Option Plan provides for annual grants of options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock upon reelection as a director of the Company. At the Company’s annual meeting on January 12, 1999, each director was granted options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.44 per share.

Employment Agreements

     There is no employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Lampen, the named executive officer.

Compensation of Directors

     The Company pays each director who is not a full-time employee of the Company an annual retainer of $5,000, payable quarterly, and reimburses the directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their activities on behalf of the Company. See “Stock Options.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of CDSI Holdings Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CDSI Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year 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 audit. The financial statements of CDSI Holdings Inc. as of December 31, 2003, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 5, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 2004 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CDSI HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)   Business and Organization

    CDSI Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “CDSI”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 29, 1993. On January 12, 1999, the Company’s stockholders voted to change the corporate name of the Company from PC411, Inc. to CDSI Holdings Inc. Prior to May 8, 1998, the Company’s principal business was an on-line electronic delivery information service that transmits name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally to users of personal computers (the “PC411 Service”). On May 8, 1998, the Company acquired Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. (“CDS”), a company engaged in the marketing and leasing of an inventory control system for tobacco products. In February 2000, CDSI announced CDS will no longer actively engage in the business of marketing and leasing the inventory control system. Effective November 12, 2003, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CDS merged with the Company as the surviving corporation.
 
    At December 31, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,125,548. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and it expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. There is a risk the Company will continue to incur operating losses.
 
    CDSI intends to explore investments in other business opportunities. As CDSI has only limited cash resources, CDSI’s ability to complete any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. As of the date of this report, the Company has not identified any potential acquisition or investment. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future financial condition.
 
(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
    Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds with a maturity of three months or less.
 
    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
    The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.

    Investment Securities Available for Sale
 
    The Company owns 280,000 shares of Dialog Group Inc. (“Dialog”) Common Stock and classifies its investment in Dialog as “Investment Securities Available for Sale”. The Dialog Common Stock is carried at fair value, based on the last trade prior to December 31, 2004, and net unrealized gains are included as a component of stockholders’ equity. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will ultimately realize fair value for its Dialog shares as there is only a limited trading market for the shares and the Company may not be able to sell any material portion of its shares at prevailing market prices. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock in 2004 for a net gain of $4,888. Realized gains and losses are included in other income. The cost of securities sold is determined based on average cost. See Notes 3 and 4.
 
    Income Taxes
 
    The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
    Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
 
    Basic net loss per share of Common Stock has been computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period. Stock options and warrants totaling 653,333 shares at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were excluded from the calculation of diluted per share results presented because their effect was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Concentrations of Risks
 
    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash held in overnight money market accounts. The Company has no formal policy requiring collateral to support the financial instruments subject to credit risk.

(3)   ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc. Transaction
 
    On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed the non-cash assets and certain liabilities of the PC411 Service to ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc. (“TDMI”) (formerly known as Digital Asset Management, Inc.). The Company received preferred stock representing an initial 42.5% interest in TDMI in exchange for the contribution of the PC411 Service’s net assets. The Company’s carrying value in the net assets contributed to TDMI totaled $73,438. The Company recorded $462,360 as a capital contribution in connection with the transaction, which represented the Company’s 42.5% interest in the capital raised by TDMI in excess of the carrying value of the Company’s net assets contributed to TDMI. The Company agreed, under certain conditions, to fund up to $200,000 of an $800,000 working capital line. The Company funded $100,000 of the working capital line in the second quarter of 1999. In July 1999, the Company agreed to extend the maturity of its working capital line and was released from any further obligation to fund additional amounts under the working capital line.
 
    In October 2000, TDMI and Cater Barnard plc (formerly known as VoyagerIT.com) entered into an agreement whereby Cater Barnard purchased for $5,000,000 shares of TDMI’s convertible preferred stock and convertible notes on various dates between November 10, 2000 and June 8, 2001. On October 16, 2001, Cater Barnard agreed to use its best efforts to fund an additional $1,250,000 to TDMI by January 31, 2002 and on the same date, the TDMI stockholders granted Cater Barnard an option to purchase by January 31, 2002 all of TDMI’s common stock not held by Cater Barnard for an aggregate purchase price of 78,750 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of Dialog Group Inc. (“Dialog”, formerly known as IMX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). Dialog was then a majority-owned subsidiary of Cater Barnard to which Cater Barnard had transferred its interest in TDMI. The preferred stock was initially convertible into 1,575,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
 
    On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI it did not already own by exercising the option previously granted to Cater Barnard. CDSI received 8,250 shares of Dialog Class B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for its interest in TDMI. Each share of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend of $4.00 on December 31 of each year. The dividend was payable at the option of Dialog in shares of its Common Stock. The shares of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock to be received by the Company were initially convertible into 165,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
 
    On November 4, 2002, the holders of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock and Dialog agreed to (i) increase the number of common shares into which the Dialog Class B Preferred Stock was convertible from 1,575,000 to 3,150,000 and (ii) eliminate the annual dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock. As a result, the Class B Preferred Stock held by CDSI became convertible into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its preferred shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. The Company sold 50,000 shares of Dialog stock for $4,888 in 2004. Based on public filings by Dialog, management currently estimates that CDSI’s interest in Dialog is approximately 0.2% on a fully-diluted basis.

(4)   Investment Securities Available for Sale
 
    The Company’s 280,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock may be sold by the Company pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933. See Note 3. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, the Company has classified these shares as “Investment Securities Available for Sale” as of December 31, 2004. The Dialog Common Stock is carried at fair value, based on the last trade prior to December 31, 2004, and net unrealized gains are included as a component of stockholders’ equity. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will ultimately realize fair value for its Dialog shares as there is only a limited trading market for the shares and the Company may not be able to sell any material portion of its shares at prevailing market prices.
 
(5)   Related Party Transactions
 
    Certain accounting and related finance functions are performed on behalf of the Company by employees of the Company’s principal stockholder, New Valley Corporation (“New Valley”). Expenses incurred relating to these functions are allocated to the Company and paid as incurred to New Valley based on management’s best estimate of the cost involved. The amounts allocated were immaterial for all periods presented herein.
 
(6)   Stock Options
 
    The Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) provides for the grant of options to purchase the Company’s stock to the employees and directors of the Company. The term of the options granted under the 1997 Plan is limited to 10 years. Subject to certain limitations under the 1997 Plan, the number of awards, the terms and conditions of any award granted thereunder (including the exercise price, grant price or purchase price) are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has reserved 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the 1997 Plan and, at December 31, 2003, 153,333 of the granted options were outstanding and exercisable.

    The following table summarizes information regarding outstanding and exercisable options as of December 31, 2004:

                         
Exercise   Number   Weighted Average   Number

$0.28
    6,000       3.85       6,000

    153,333               153,333  
                       

    The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock options. In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which, if fully adopted, changes the methods of recognition of cost on certain stock options. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant consistent with SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share would have been $(35,213) or $(0.01) in 2004 and $(50,172) or $(0.02) in 2003.
 
    No options were granted or forfeited for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the weighted average exercise price per share of options outstanding is $2.02.
 
    In addition to the options issued in connection with the stock option plans, the Company has granted Alki Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Valley, options to acquire 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.75 per share, which fully vested upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in May 1997. The options expire in January 2007.
 
(7)   Preferred Stock
 
    The Company has the authority to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series.

(8)   Income Taxes
 
    During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no income and therefore made no provision for Federal and state income taxes.
 
    At December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $6,910,000 of net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax reporting purposes available to offset future taxable income, if any; such carryforwards expire between 2009 and 2025 (federal) and 2005 and 2025 (state). Deferred tax assets and liabilities principally relate to net operating loss carryforwards and aggregate approximately $2,400,000 before valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to the Company’s uncertainty of future taxable income against which the deferred tax asset may be utilized. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has been recorded on the accompanying balance sheet.
