completed the transaction based on the results of a special
stockholders meeting held on May 5, 2005. A majority of
shareholders approved to amend the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of its
common stock from 20 million to 40 million shares. "With the
completion of this investment and the previously-disclosed sale of
CheckQuest, we added $2.5 million in new cash to our balance sheet
in the last 80 days," Mitek's President and CEO, James B. DeBello
said. "These were major steps in our plans to continue the growth
of our next generation of sophisticated identity verification and
document recognition software." Harland previously announced that
it is partnering with Mitek to introduce self-authenticating checks
for preventing the most difficult-to-catch check fraud -- the
forgery of the maker's signature. Harland will validate the
authenticity of the maker's signature and the physical check
document using Mitek's sophisticated image processing, data
encoding and encryption, and identity verification software.
