      (the
      "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Parascript dated July 13, 2006, pursuant to
      which Mitek would acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
      Parascript. Mitek and Parascript subsequently agreed to modify the transaction
      structure as a result of certain tax issues affecting Parascript. Mitek and
      Parascript have structured the Merger to result in substantially identical
      economic results for Mitek and Parascript as those contemplated by the Asset
      Purchase Agreement.</font></div>

      the
      closing of the Merger, Parascript unitholders will receive $80 million in cash
      and approximately 51.8 million shares of Mitek common stock. Mitek common stock
      having a value of approximately $4 million will be placed in escrow to secure
      any indemnity claims that Mitek may have under the Merger Agreement, which
      escrow will generally last until one year after the effective time of the
      Merger.</font></div>

      federal income tax purposes, the Merger will be treated with respect to Mitek
      as
      if Mitek purchased all of the assets of Parascript from the unitholders of
      Parascript. In general, Mitek&#8217;s tax basis in the purchased assets will be equal
      to the fair market value of the Merger consideration paid at closing that is
      not
      placed in escrow (i.e., $80 million of cash plus fair market of the
      approximately 51.8 million shares of Mitek common stock issued less the fair
      market value of the shares of Mitek common stock placed into escrow). Asset
      basis may be adjusted for shares distributed or released from the escrow. Mitek
      expects that a substantial portion of the consideration paid will be allocated
      to goodwill for federal income tax purposes. Under current federal income tax
      rules, such goodwill would be amortizable over a 15-year straight-line
      period.</font></div>

      the
      Merger Agreement, the Parascript unitholders are permitted to receive from
      Parascript a cash distribution equal, in general, to 30% of the taxable income
      of Parascript for Parascript's taxable periods ending on the date of the Merger.
      Because Parascript is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax
      purposes, it is not subject to income tax; rather its unitholders will pay
      tax
      on their proportionate share of Parascript's taxable income. The distributions
      are intended to provide the necessary funds to the Parascript unitholders to
      satisfy their income tax. Mitek views this distribution as neutral to it since
      if the taxable income were earned by Mitek, Mitek would be subject to tax on
      such income (or such income would otherwise reduce Mitek's net operating
      losses).</font></div>

Entry

.
Merger
      Agreement
On
      September 18, 2006, Mitek Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Mitek")
      entered into a definitive Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger
      (the
      "Merger Agreement") with Mitek Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability
      company (the "Acquisition Sub"), Parascript, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability
      company ("Parascript") and Parascript Management, Inc., a Wyoming corporation,
      pursuant to which Parascript will merge with and into the Acquisition Sub (the
      "Merger"). Upon consummation of the Merger, Parascript will be the surviving
      company and Mitek will be the holder of all of the outstanding limited liability
      company interests of Parascript.
Mitek
      had
      previously entered into and announced a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement
      (the
      "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Parascript dated July 13, 2006, pursuant to
      which Mitek would acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
      Parascript. Mitek and Parascript subsequently agreed to modify the transaction
      structure as a result of certain tax issues affecting Parascript. Mitek and
      Parascript have structured the Merger to result in substantially identical
      economic results for Mitek and Parascript as those contemplated by the Asset
      Purchase Agreement.
At
      the
      closing of the Merger, Parascript unitholders will receive $80 million in cash
      and approximately 51.8 million shares of Mitek common stock. Mitek common stock
      having a value of approximately $4 million will be placed in escrow to secure
      any indemnity claims that Mitek may have under the Merger Agreement, which
      escrow will generally last until one year after the effective time of the
      Merger.
For
      federal income tax purposes, the Merger will be treated with respect to Mitek
      as
      if Mitek purchased all of the assets of Parascript from the unitholders of
      Parascript. In general, Mitek's tax basis in the purchased assets will be equal
      to the fair market value of the Merger consideration paid at closing that is
      not
      placed in escrow (i.e., $80 million of cash plus fair market of the
      approximately 51.8 million shares of Mitek common stock issued less the fair
      market value of the shares of Mitek common stock placed into escrow). Asset
      basis may be adjusted for shares distributed or released from the escrow. Mitek
      expects that a substantial portion of the consideration paid will be allocated
      to goodwill for federal income tax purposes. Under current federal income tax
      rules, such goodwill would be amortizable over a 15-year straight-line
      period.
Under
      the
      Merger Agreement, the Parascript unitholders are permitted to receive from
      Parascript a cash distribution equal, in general, to 30% of the taxable income
      of Parascript for Parascript's taxable periods ending on the date of the Merger.
      Because Parascript is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax
      purposes, it is not subject to income tax; rather its unitholders will pay
      tax
      on their proportionate share of Parascript's taxable income. The distributions
      are intended to provide the necessary funds to the Parascript unitholders to
      satisfy their income tax. Mitek views this distribution as neutral to it since
      if the taxable income were earned by Mitek, Mitek would be subject to tax on
      such income (or such income would otherwise reduce Mitek's net operating
      losses).

Mitek
      and
      Parascript have made customary representations and warranties and covenants
      in
      the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights
      for both Mitek and Parascript and further provides that upon termination of
      the
      Merger Agreement under specified circumstances the parties may be required
      to
      pay a termination fee of up to $1,000,000.
The
      closing of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including:
      (i)
      approval by the stockholders of Mitek of (a) an increase in the number of its
      authorized shares to provide sufficient shares to be issued in connection with
      the Merger and (b) a change of the name of Mitek to "Parascript, Inc." after
      closing; (ii) entry by Mitek into definitive financing agreements of from $85
      million to $95 million in order to consummate the Merger; (iii) approval of
      the
      Merger Agreement by the unitholders of Parascript, (iv) regulatory approvals,
      (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by Mitek (the
      "Registration Statement"), and (vi) the satisfaction or waiver of other
      customary conditions.
Funding
      for the Merger is to be provided by a combination of $35 million in subordinated
      convertible notes and $55 million in senior debt obtained from or through
      Plainfield Asset Management, LLC ("Plainfield"). The subordinated notes will
      be
      convertible into approximately 21.9 million shares of Mitek common stock at
      a
      conversion price of $1.60 per share. From the remaining funds obtained from
      Plainfield, it is anticipated that approximately $10 million will be used for
      expenses related to the Merger. In addition, Plainfield is expected to provide
      a
      revolving line of credit for up to $5 million. Upon completion of the Merger
      and
      on a fully-diluted basis, Mitek shareholders will own approximately 22% of
      the
      company, Parascript unitholders approximately 55% and Plainfield approximately
      23% on an as-if-converted basis.
After
      the
      closing of the Merger, the executive offices will be located in Boulder,
      Colorado. The board of directors will be composed of seven (7) members,
      including, Mitek's President and Chief Executive Officer James DeBello,
      Parascript's President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Gilb, Mitek's
      Chairman John M. Thornton, and a board member of Parascript's Manager, Aron
      Katz, who will be Chairman of Mitek post-closing. Also included will be three
      (3) independent directors to be mutually agreed upon who meet the independence
      requirements of NASDAQ.
The
      foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport
      to
      be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger
      Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated into this
      report by reference. The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors
      and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to
      provide any other factual information about Mitek or Parascript. The Merger
      Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties to the Merger
      Agreement made to and solely for the benefit of each other, and the assertions
      embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information
      contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in
      connection with signing the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and
      stockholders should not rely on such representations and warranties as
      characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they
      were
      only made as of the date of the Merger Agreement and are modified in important
      part by the underlying disclosure schedules.
