ICOP Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICOP), an industry-leading company engaged in advancing digital surveillance technology solutions, announced today its financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company will host a conference call later today to discuss the results, and plans to file its 10-Q later today. This call can be accessed through the Company's website, www.ICOP.com. The live audio presentation can be accessed by dialing toll free at 1-877-315-9024.

Key Operational Highlights

• ICOP was issued patent number US 7,680,947 B2 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office for a technology used to live stream mobile video and audio to first responders. The Company developed ICOP LIVE™ using this technology.
• Of the RFPs responded to and awarded in the first quarter, ICOP experienced a 45% win ratio.
• Based on the number of units sold in the first quarter, the reorder rate from existing customers was 79%, and 21% of the units were delivered to new customers.
• ICOP was awarded state contracts in Texas and Minnesota in the first quarter of 2010. The contracts were established to facilitate the purchase of in-car video equipment by agencies in those states for a pre-determined price and terms.
• In February, the Company raised $1.34 Million, before placement agent's fees and other offering expenses, in a registered direct offering with two institutional investors.
• ICOP announced in the first quarter that it has resolved all currently pending litigation with L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. ("L-3"). ICOP maintains, and continues to maintain, that it does not infringe United States Patent No. 7,119,832. All litigation between the parties has been dismissed with prejudice, and the ICOP 20/20, 20/20-W, 20/20 VISION, the wireless microphone and base remain available for purchase from ICOP. The terms of the resolution are confidential.
• The Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Developed Dimension Information Technology (DDIT), ICOP's partner in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to establish a joint venture company, to expand the delivery of Homeland Security solutions in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
• On March 24, 2010, the Company received a determination from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") indicating that the Panel had granted the Company's request to remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, subject to the condition that, on or before July 12, 2010, the Company evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to three months ended March 31, 2009:

• Revenues declined 15% to $1.9 million from $2.2 million for the same three month period in the prior year.
• Gross margin decreased to 41% from 48% due to lower margins in 2010 for certain markets.
• Total Operating expenses increased 21% to $2.5 million from $2 million. The increase is mainly due to stock based compensation, professional services and travel costs offset by the decline in research and development projects and depreciation. The increase in professional services is due primarily to legal costs regarding the L-3 litigation, which is now settled, and the NASDAQ hearing expenses associated with maintaining our NASDAQ listing, both of which are onetime events. The increase in travel costs is attributed to trade events, activities relating to a newly formed client services team and greater focus on direct sales.
• Net loss was $1.8 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to $900 thousand, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share.
