RISK FACTORS

This offering and an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the notes to those statements, before you purchase any securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, could negatively affect our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected. In those cases, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operations for the past five fiscal years and expect to experience future quarterly losses. Continued losses and negative cash flow would reduce our internal resources, limit our growth options, require additional cash infusions and could ultimately place our continued viability in question.

We have incurred losses and negative cash flow from operations in each of the previous five fiscal years. These losses resulted from various factors, including declining gross profit margins in our recently divested OEM Remotes business segment, increases in operating costs increased compliance and regulatory costs, inventory reserve adjustments and internal investigation costs, some of which will continue to affect future results.

As part of an overall strategy to deemphasize our declining margin businesses and focus our efforts on higher margin emerging markets, we sold our OEM Remotes and Branded Products business segments in August of 2007. While we expect the higher margins in our retained businesses to result in positive cash flow by the end of fiscal 2008, we support a constant level of fixed general and administrative expenses with a revenue base that has been reduced by half, which is likely to result in continued net losses and may affect our ability to generate positive cash flow. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contained in our fiscal 2006 audited financial statements included a going concern qualification. The going concern qualification has been eliminated in our 2007 fiscal year audited financial statements.

Despite our projections and best efforts, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow. If we do not achieve profitability and positive cash flow, our financial resources will be adversely affected and we may be forced to curtail or discontinue certain operations, which could result in the allocation of fixed costs over an even smaller revenue base or affect our future competitiveness. If we were to require additional financing, such financing could prove dilutive to the interests of existing investors, or we may be required to divest additional business assets.

Our former President and Chief Executive Officer retired on January 4, 2008. Our ability to execute our business strategy could be impaired if we are unable to find and retain a new Chief Executive Officer with necessary and appropriate skills in a timely manner. The loss of the services of other key personnel, or if we are unable to recruit other qualified managers and key personnel in the future, may also impair our ability to operate effectively.

E. Michael Thoben, III, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, retired on January 4, 2008. Mr. Thoben had been with Interlink for the past seventeen years and has substantial experience with our business and technology. John Buckett, Chairman of the Board, has been appointed our interim Chief Executive Officer until a permanent replacement is found. Our Board of Directors is conducting a search for a replacement. If we are unable to find a permanent replacement for Mr. Thoben with the combination of skills and industry experience necessary to execute our business plan and manage our company, our business may suffer. We also may incur significant costs in identifying, hiring, training and retaining Mr. Thoben’s permanent replacement.

Our success also will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain additional qualified professional, technical, production, managerial and marketing personnel, both domestically and internationally. The loss of other key employees during this transition period would be particularly difficult and could cause significant delays in the implementation of our business plan and an adverse effect on our operations.

Business divestitures, acquisitions and partnering arrangements may disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and distract management’s attention.

In August 2007 we completed the sale of our OEM Remotes and Branded Products business segments. As part of our business strategy to focus on higher margin emerging markets, we may consider additional divestitures or acquisitions or discontinue other aspects of our business. Such strategic decisions involve numerous risks, including:

 

•

unanticipated costs and liabilities;

 

•

difficulty of separating or combining the operations, products and personnel of the divested or acquired business;

 

•

difficulties in maintaining customer relationships and managing the strategic position of products and technologies;

 

•

diversion of management’s attention;

 

•

inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures;

 

•

accounting results that are unrelated to the performance of either business;

 

•

amortization of fixed costs over a smaller revenue base;

 

•

goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to potential impairments in the future;

 

•

dilution of the ownership of existing shareholders, to the extent that acquisitions are financed with convertible debt or stock; and

 

•

other changes that consume resources and management’s attention.

We may fail to replace divested operations with new business segments that contribute to our financial health and strategic objectives. If we fail to properly evaluate and execute acquisitions, investments or divestitures, we may not achieve the anticipated additional benefit to our business and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate, which could damage the viability of our ongoing operations.

We are a public company and are therefore required to incur costs and to disclose information that private companies are not required to incur or disclose.

As a public company, we are required to comply with complex and costly accounting and disclosure requirements that do not apply to foreign companies that are not public in the United States, private companies or to subsidiaries or divisions of very large companies for whom the results of the subsidiary or division are not material. These costs impact our profitability and therefore constitute a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis much of our competition, especially in light of the recent divestiture of two of our four business segments, which has caused these costs to increase substantially as a percentage of our revenues. These requirements also consume substantial management time that could otherwise be focused on other areas of our business. In addition, our public status requires us to disclose publicly information that can afford a competitor an advantage. If we are unable to maintain costs associated with our public company status within reasonable parameters, or if we are required to disclose information that our competitors can use to compete with us, our ability to remain competitive in our markets could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

A limited number of investors own a majority of our stock and, working together, could control us.

The majority of our stock is owned by institutions managed by a small number of fund managers. To our best knowledge, neither these stockholders nor their fund managers have any agreement or understanding under which they have agreed to act together with respect to the voting of our stock. However, they have expressed common views with respect to various matters relating to our management and governance and these views have influenced related decisions of our Board of Directors. If they were to act together as a group, these fund managers would have the ability to control various aspects of our business and governance, including the replacement of our Board of Directors. Accordingly, other investors may not have the practical ability to oppose management and/or governance decisions that have the support of our institutional investors.

We are facing litigation based on our restatements of historical financial statements, which may have a material adverse impact on our cash reserves and may impair our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Certain former Interlink stockholders have filed a class action lawsuit claiming damages under various federal securities laws based on our restatement of historical financial statements. Other stockholders have brought a derivative action against our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer that alleges, among other things, securities-related violations of the California Corporations Code. These actions will require a vigorous defense and could result in a settlement or adverse award that is not covered by insurance or that exceeds applicable insurance limits. The time and expense required to defend these claims may also affect our ability to pursue our business strategy. There is also no assurance that additional lawsuits will not be filed or that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We are emphasizing new markets and if we fail to accurately predict the growth of these new markets, we may suffer reduced earnings.

Historically, the largest contributor to our consolidated sales was our OEM Remotes business segment. In late 2005, we deemphasized and reorganized segments of this business, and in August 2007 we sold this business, together with our Branded Products business. We have devoted significant resources to the development of products and the support of marketing and sales efforts in new markets, such as the MicroNav™ family of file navigation products in our Specialty Components business, and the biometric input pads in our eTransactions business. As we transition to becoming a company with two, rather than four, business units and focus on our remaining businesses, we expect to continue to identify and develop products for new markets. These markets change rapidly and may not all prove to be attractive. We cannot assure you that they will grow or that we will be able to accurately forecast market demand in time to respond appropriately. Our investment of resources in these markets may either be insufficient to meet actual demand or result in expenses that are excessive in light of actual sales volumes. Failure to accurately predict successful new products and markets and the growth and demand in new markets may cause us to suffer substantial losses or reduced earnings.

Failure to increase market awareness and acceptance of eTransactions and our eTransaction products may cause our revenues in this market to fall short of our expectations.

We are focusing considerable resources on developing our eTransactions market. The prospects for growth of our eTransactions business depend in part on the acceptance by our target markets of electronic signatures as a replacement for traditional pen and ink signatures. The market for eTransactions is new and emerging and we cannot be certain that it will continue to develop or grow in a timely manner or that businesses will elect to adopt our products rather than competitive products or to continue to rely on traditional pen and ink signatures. Businesses that have invested substantial resources in traditional infrastructures may be reluctant to adopt an electronic approach to replace their existing systems. Concerns about privacy and fraud may cause businesses not to adopt eTransactions or our eTransaction products. We expect that we will need to continue to pursue intensive marketing and sales efforts to educate prospective customers about the benefits of eTransactions and our

Table of Contents

eTransaction products. If market awareness and acceptance of eTransactions do not occur, our revenues and profitability in this market will fall short of our expectations.

If we are unable to keep pace with rapid technological developments, we may not be able to compete effectively.

Technology in our target markets is undergoing rapid change. In order to maintain our position in our existing markets and succeed in new markets, we will have to develop and support innovative technologies. Doing so will require, among other things, that we accomplish the following:

 

•

accurately predict customer needs and develop, in a timely manner, the technology required to support those needs;

 

•

provide products that are not only technologically sophisticated and well supported but are also available at a price within market tolerances and competitive with comparable products;

 

•

establish and effectively defend our ownership of the intellectual property supporting our products; and

 

•

enter into relationships with other companies that have developed complementary technology on which our products also depend.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve any of these objectives.

If our products do not support evolving industry standards, they may not achieve or maintain market acceptance and our revenues may decline.

Our eTransactions business customers expect our products to enable them to comply with applicable requirements relating to electronic signatures, such as the Electronic Signatures in Global Commerce Act and procedures adopted by the National Notary Association. If our eTransactions products do not support these requirements, they will not be competitive and will not be adopted by the market.

We rely on others for aspects of our technology development.

Our in-house research and development expertise is focused on our sensor and communication technologies. We do not have broadly based expertise in software development, chip design or other critical technological aspects of a complete product. We rely on other companies with whom we may contract or enter into joint development agreements to provide these aspects of our product technologies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to contract or otherwise arrange for these services in the future or on a consistent basis. We also cannot assure you that a developer with whom we contract for technology will not use or permit others to use similar technology in competition with us.

If we are not able to protect our intellectual property or if we infringe on the intellectual property of others, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We consider our intellectual property to be a key element of our ability to compete in our chosen markets. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets and proprietary software to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that patents will be issued from any of our pending applications or that any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. We also cannot assure you that any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted will provide proprietary protection. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, regardless of the final outcome of the litigation.

Table of Contents

We are not currently engaged in any patent infringement suits but we have been threatened with one such suit in recent years. Despite our efforts to maintain and safeguard our proprietary rights, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in doing so or that our competitors will not independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. If any of the holders of these patents assert claims that we are infringing on them, we could be forced to incur substantial litigation expenses, and if we were found to have infringed a third-party patent, we could be required to pay substantial damages, pay royalties in the future or be enjoined from infringing in the future.

Sales of simple signature capture devices are growing rapidly and the manufacturers of these devices could broaden their product range to include products that compete with our ePad.

Simple signature capture devices, distinct from our more sophisticated ePad products, have recently become a common sight at retail checkout counters and a number of companies manufacture and sell these devices. While our ePad product is targeted at a more advanced market, signature capture device manufacturers could elect to expand their existing product lines in an effort to compete in our markets. Such competition could reduce margins or otherwise adversely affect our prospects in our eTransactions market.

Our markets are intensely competitive and many of our potential competitors have resources that we lack.

Our markets are competitive and we expect competition to increase. Our competitors include companies with similar products or technologies and companies that sell complementary products to our target markets. Our competitors and potential competitors may have established business relationships that afford them a competitive advantage or may create technologies that are superior to ours or that set a new industry standard that will define the successful product for that market. If any of our competitors establish a close working relationship with our customers, they may obtain advance knowledge of our customers’ technology choices or may be afforded an opportunity to work in partnership to develop compatible technologies and may therefore achieve a competitive advantage. We may be unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in prior fiscal periods and have been required to restate our historical financial statements.

In our Annual Reports for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, we reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the errors caused by these material weaknesses, we were required to restate our historical financial statements for the fiscal years 2001 through 2004, as well as for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2005. We have taken significant measures to improve our financial reporting process and as of December 31, 2007, we had identified no material weaknesses that remained to be remediated.

Despite our substantial efforts to ensure the integrity of our financial reporting process, we cannot guarantee that we will not identify additional weaknesses as we continue to work with the new systems that we have implemented over the past year and a half. Any continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements. Such errors could cause our internal planning and assessment of our business to be based on false information and could cause our published financial statements to fail to fairly present our financial condition and results of operations, which could erode market confidence in our company, cause the price of our stock to be based on false or misleading information and result in litigation based on such false or misleading information.

We rely on third parties for the materials that we use to manufacture our products and a shortage of supply could adversely affect our revenues, operating results and customer relationships.

We rely on third-party suppliers for the raw material components of our products. We cannot assure you that our suppliers will be able to maintain an adequate supply of these raw materials to enable us to fulfill all of our customers’ orders on a timely basis. A failure to obtain an adequate supply of the materials for our products

Table of Contents

could increase our costs of goods sold, cause us to fail to meet delivery commitments and cause our customers to purchase from our competitors, which could adversely affect our operating results and customer relationships. In some situations, we rely on a single supplier for raw material components of our products. Any disruption in these supplier relationships could prevent us from maintaining an adequate supply of materials and could adversely affect our results of operation and financial position.

Disruptions in our manufacturing facilities or arrangements could cause our revenues and operating results to decline.

We currently manufacture FSR sensors at our Camarillo, California facility. This facility is vulnerable to damage from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss and similar events. It could also be subject to break-ins, sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism. Our insurance may not cover such events and, if the event is covered, our insurance may not be sufficient to compensate us for any losses that may occur. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problem at our manufacturing facility could result in delayed shipment of products, missed delivery deadlines and harm to our reputation, which may cause our revenues and operating results to decline.

Manufacturing is also being done by our China subsidiary and by third parties in China that are identified and managed through our Hong Kong and China subsidiaries. We rely on our subsidiaries to select and contract with contract manufacturers with suitable manufacturing facilities and appropriately trained employees. An interruption in our current manufacturing arrangements could adversely affect our revenues, operating results and customer relationships.

International sales and manufacturing risks could adversely affect our operating results.

Our revenues from international sales accounted for approximately 54%, 62% and 34% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We believe that international sales will represent a substantial portion of our sales for the foreseeable future. Our manufacturing is currently performed in China and Camarillo. Our international operations involve a number of risks, including:

 

•

import-export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and other trade barriers;

 

•

difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;

 

•

ability to secure credit and funding;

 

•

difficulty in maintaining an effective system of internal controls at our foreign manufacturing facility;

 

•

foreign collection problems;

 

•

foreign exchange exposure

 

•

reduced protection of intellectual property rights;

 

•

international unrest and terrorism;

 

•

political and economic instability; and

 

•

transportation risks.

Any of the above factors could adversely affect our operating results.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies.

International sales made through our Japanese subsidiary are generally denominated in yen. A weak yen would materially affect total revenue and could result in a decrease in dollar revenue even though sales remained constant or increased. We also contract for most of our large-volume, non-technical manufacturing in China.

 

11

Table of Contents

Although we contract in U.S. dollars, a weakening of the dollar could cause existing contracts to be uneconomic to the vendor and therefore require a renegotiation. Over the past two years, the valuations of many foreign currencies have fluctuated significantly relative to the U.S. dollar. The Japanese yen, in particular, has fluctuated in value due in part to the economic problems experienced by Asian countries and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar. Although we at times engage in currency hedging transactions in order to protect ourselves from risks of Japanese yen currency fluctuations, we cannot assure you that these activities will protect us from such risks.

Environmental directives could increase our costs and/or require us to reserve against inventory.

Environmental directives that affect our manufacturing processes and inventory may be enacted from time to time in the United States and abroad. Any such directives could require us to increase our inventory reserves due to obsolescence or otherwise increase the costs of doing business. In 2006, the Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (“ROHS”) went into effect which limited the use of hazardous raw materials in the production of electronic and electrical goods that we sell in the European Union and certain other European countries. While we currently believe our inventory reserve is adequate, we may have additional inventory write downs due to ROHS or other similar restrictions implemented by other markets. In 2007, the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment became effective and required companies that sell electronic equipment on the EU market to register with individual member states, mark their products, submit annual reports, provide recyclers with information about product recycling, and either recycle their products or participate in or fund mandatory recycling schemes.

Failure to maintain, develop and expand our OEM relationships could cause demand for our products to decrease.

Our Specialty Components products are sold to OEM customers. If we fail to maintain, develop and expand our relationships with our OEM customers or if those customers are not successful in their marketing and sales efforts, demand for our products may decrease.

Our ability to generate increased revenues also depends significantly on the extent to which our OEM customers develop, promote and sell products that incorporate our technology and products. If our OEM customers do not successfully develop and market products that incorporate our products, sales of our products to our OEM customers would be adversely affected. The extent to which our OEM customers develop, promote and sell our products is based on a number of factors that are largely beyond our ability to control.

Our MicroNav™ sensor sales are dependent on a relatively small number of relatively large contracts; our failure to obtain contracts that we expect to obtain or any event that results in the loss or reduction in size of a contract below our expectations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.

The focus of our MicroNav™ sales effort targets a small number of large OEM manufacturers of handheld products and relates to specific products for which the OEM manufacturer is developing product specifications. We expend considerable effort in preparing for and bidding these contracts and make capacity planning decisions based on our expectations as to the number and size of contracts on which we will be the successful bidder. If our expectations are too optimistic, we are at risk of incurring expense in preparation for sales that we are not able to make. If our expectations are too pessimistic, we are at risk of being unprepared to perform on a contract that we could otherwise have obtained. In addition, the value of any OEM contract to us depends in part on the success of the device in which our products are included. We rely on the OEM customer’s estimates as to the size of the market for their individual products and these estimates are often inaccurate. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in predicting volume and timing in this aspect of our business.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FINANCING AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

Convertible Note and Warrant Placement

On July 19, 2007, we issued 8% Convertible Notes (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, and warrants (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) exercisable for up to 1,984,125 shares of Common Stock in a private placement (the “Financing”) pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation D under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 thereunder. The Notes mature on July 19, 2010, and some or all of the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest may be converted into Common Stock at any time before the maturity date at a conversion price of $1.26 per share (subject to adjustment). Interest on the Notes accrues and is payable semiannually on January 15th or July 15th of each year. The Warrants expire on July 19, 2012, and may be exercised at any time prior to expiration on a cash or cashless basis at an exercise price of $1.51 per share (subject to adjustment). We received net proceeds of approximately $4,797,590.00 from the sale of the Notes, which takes into account estimated legal and other fees of $202,410.00 incurred in connection with the Financing.

The conversion price under the Notes and the exercise price under the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events including the issuance of stock dividends to existing Common Stockholders, or a stock split. Also, the holders of Notes and Warrants are entitled to receive the economic benefit of any reorganization, consolidation or merger of Interlink which results in a payment in shares, other securities or property to our Common Stockholders.

In connection with the placement of the Notes and Warrants, we entered into a registration rights agreement dated July 19, 2007 with the selling securityholders under which we agreed to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants for resale to the public. The registration rights agreement also provides for payment of liquidated damages by Interlink if (i) the registration statement covering the shares to be registered pursuant to the registration rights agreement is not filed by August 20, 2007, or (ii) after a registration statement is filed with the SEC such registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to October 18, 2007 or (iii) after such registration statement has been declared effective, sales of Common Stock cannot be made pursuant to the registration statement, then in any of these and specified other circumstances enumerated in registration rights agreement, Interlink must pay to each holder of the Notes, Warrants or shares of Common Stock required to be registered an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by each such investor for each 30 day period (or pro rata portion of such 30 day period) of such delinquency (“Liquidated Damages”). If, however, the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to October 18, 2007 because the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the shares underlying the Notes and Warrants is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, then we are not required to pay Liquidated Damages (the “Damages Exception”). We have received comments from the SEC regarding our registration statement (of which this prospectus is a part), including a comment concerning our eligibility to register all of the securities underlying the Notes and Warrants on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The investors have sent us a letter demanding payment of liquidated damages. The Company is currently discussing the issue with the investors, but believes that the SEC’s comment with respect to Rule 415 falls within the provisions of the Damages Exception and that liquidated damages are not payable as a result.

For more information concerning the Financing, the Notes, the Warrants and the selling securityholders, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 23, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference, and the remainder of this “Information Concerning the Financing and Selling Securityholders” section.

Selling Securityholders

The shares covered by this prospectus may be sold or otherwise disposed of from time to time by the selling securityholders listed in the following table or their transferees.

Assuming no conversion of the Notes, and that all interest will be paid on time, the total interest paid to the selling securityholders with respect to the Financing in the first year following the sale of the Notes will be $403,333.32. In the event that the selling securityholders convert their Notes or exercise their Warrants in the first year following the Financing, it is not possible to calculate accurately the total possible payments to the selling securityholders, including any sale of Common Stock received upon conversion or exercise, because the amount received by the selling securityholders is dependant on a number of factors, including the number of shares sold, market conditions and negotiated terms in any non-market transaction.

Assuming no conversion of the Notes before their stated maturity date, and that all interest will be paid on time, the total amount of payments to the selling securityholders over the term of the Notes will be $1,221,111.06. The net proceeds to us from the sale of the Notes will equal $3,778,888.94.⁽⁶⁾

 

(1)

This table does not include (i) any repayment of principal on the Notes or (ii) any potential cash payment for any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the unpaid principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest under a Note. Cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares have not been included in this table because any such payment is contingent on a number of factors and is not subject to accurate calculation.

 

(2)

Interest accrues from July 19, 2007 on the unpaid principal balance of the Note outstanding at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year) until the Note is (i) converted into Common Stock as provided in the Note or (ii) paid in full by Interlink on the stated maturity date. Interest on the Note accrues and is payable semiannually on each January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2008, to the holder of record on the immediately preceding January 1 or July 1, as applicable. Except as provided in the Note, the principal amount of the Note can not be prepaid or redeemed by Interlink prior to the stated maturity date of July 19, 2010.

(3)	In addition to scheduled interest, in the event that any interest payment is not paid when due, such overdue amount will bear interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until paid in full.

 

(4)	Any such payments must be made to the selling securityholders in cash and are not convertible into shares of Common Stock.

 

(5)

The registration rights agreement provides that liquidated damages will not accrue if the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the shares underlying the Notes and Warrants is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. We have received comments from the SEC regarding its registration statement (of which this prospectus is a part), including a comment concerning our eligibility to register all of the securities underlying the Notes and Warrants on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The investors have sent us a letter demanding payment of such liquidated damages. The Company is currently discussing the issue with the investors, but believes that the SEC’s comment with respect to Rule 415 falls within the provisions of the Damages Exception and that liquidated damages are not payable as a result.

Prior Transactions Between Our Company and the Selling Securityholders

Lawrence S. Barker and Thomas L. Thimot were appointed to our Board of Directors pursuant to an agreement, by and among our company, Messrs. Barker and Thimot, SRB Greenway Capital, L.P., SRB Greenway Capital (Q.P.), L.P., SRB Greenway Offshore Operating Fund, L.P. and other parties, described more fully in footnote 3 to the “Selling Securityholders” table. As of the date of the Financing, Messrs. Barker and Thimot each owned options to purchase 7,500 shares of our Common Stock.⁽¹⁾ These option grants were on the same terms and in the same amounts as option grants to the other directors of our company and were made pursuant to our established director compensation policy. Other than these option grants to Messrs. Barker and Thimot, there have been no prior securities transactions between us (or any of its predecessors) and the selling securityholders, any affiliates of the selling securityholders, or any person with whom any selling securityholder has a contractual relationship regarding the Financing. The selling securityholders and their affiliates have acquired all prior securities of our company in market transactions or private transactions between the selling securityholders (or their affiliates) and third parties not affiliated with us.

The Issuer’s Intention and Ability to Make all Note Payments.

As discussed in footnote 1 to the Selected Consolidated Financial Data in this prospectus, on August 31, 2007 we completed the sale of our OEM Remotes and Branded Products segments to SMK Electronics Corporation, USA for an aggregate cash purchase price of $11,500,000, subject to certain post-closing price adjustments. Based on the receipt of proceeds from the sale of our OEM Remotes and Branded Products business segments, proceeds from the Financing and cash from operations, we reasonably believe that we will have the financial ability to make all payments required under the terms of the Notes.

 

(1)	On September 19, 2007, the date of our 2007 annual meeting of the stockholders and 2007 annual meeting of the Board of Directors, Messrs. Barker and Thimot were each granted additional options to purchase 7,500 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to our established director compensation policy.

 

(2)	The calculation of the number of outstanding shares does not include any securities underlying any outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants.

Table of Contents

The preceding summary is a materially complete description of the relationships and arrangements that have existed in the past three years or are to be performed in the future between Interlink (or any of its predecessors) and the selling securityholders, any affiliates of the selling securityholders, or any person with whom any selling securityholder has a contractual relationship regarding the Financing (or any of their predecessors).

Selling Securityholders’ Ability to Convert Accrued but Unpaid Interest into Shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, we are required to make interest payments to the selling securityholders on January 15 and July 15 of each year during the term of the Notes. The Notes provide that “all payments of principal and interest by the Company under this note shall be made in United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Holder.” There is no provision in the Notes that grants either Interlink or the Note holder the option to make or receive, respectively, an interest payment in shares of Common Stock rather than cash. However, Section 4(a) of the Notes provides that the holder has “the right, at its option at any time, to convert some or all of the Note” into shares of our Common Stock and, at that time only, can also elect to convert any accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, or portion, so converted.

Broker Dealer Status of Selling Securityholders or their Affiliates; Arrangements to Distribute Underlying Securities.

JMP Asset Management, the general partner of Harvest Small Capital Partners, L.P. and Harvest Technology Partners, L.P., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JMP Group. JMP Securities, a registered NASD broker-dealer, is also wholly-owned by JMP Group. Other than the foregoing, no selling securityholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

Both Harvest Small Capital Partners, L.P. and Harvest Technology Partners, L.P. received their Notes in the ordinary course of business. Neither entity had any agreement or understanding with any person to distribute the securities underlying the Notes at the time they acquired the Notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling securityholders, which as used in this section includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

•

privately negotiated transactions;

 

•

short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

•

broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

 

•

a combination of any such methods of sale.

The selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any.

or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

The selling securityholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The selling securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.

Selling securityholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our Common Stock to be sold, the names of the selling securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in this prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling securityholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

The registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, covers shares of our Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share, which may from time to time be sold by the selling securityholders. As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share, and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share, of which none have been issued. At the time this offering is effective, we will have 13,749,310 shares of Common Stock outstanding held of record by approximately 60 stockholders. The following description summarizes the most important terms of our Common Stock, including limitations on directors’ liability and indemnification. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Common Stock

Subject to the rights specifically granted to holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock that we may issue in the future, holders of our Common Sock are entitled to vote together as a class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders and are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by our Board of Directors. Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any shares of our Preferred Stock we may issue in the future. Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of our Common Stock. The issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible into any other shares of our capital stock. All outstanding shares of our Common Stock are, and the shares of our Common Stock to be issued in this offering will be, upon payment of the relevant purchase or exercise price, fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock that we may issue in the future.

Limitations of Directors’ Liability and Indemnification

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to Interlink or its stockholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, provided that the Certificate does not eliminate the liability of a director for any act or omission for which such elimination of liability is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. No amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law that further limits the acts or omissions for which elimination of liability is permitted shall affect the liability of a director for any act or omission that occurs prior to the effective date of the amendment.

Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we must indemnify and hold harmless each of our directors and officers that is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (including an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of Interlink), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Interlink or a fiduciary within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 with respect to any employee benefit plan of our company, or serves or served at the request of Interlink as a director, officer, employee or agent, or as a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. We must pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any such current or former director or officer in any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if the person sets forth in writing (i) the person’s good faith belief that the person is entitled to indemnification under our Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) the person’s agreement to repay all advances if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification under our certificate of incorporation.

Table of Contents

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY

AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

As of April 10, 2006, our common stock trades through the OTC market trading system under the symbol “LINK.PK.” Prior to April 10, 2006, our common stock traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “LINK.” The following table sets forth the high and low closing prices for the common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board and the NASDAQ National Market for the quarters indicated, as applicable. These prices do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions.

 

		Low			High
Year ended December 31, 2006
First Quarter		$	3.00		$	3.54
Second Quarter			2.65			3.48
Third Quarter			2.50			3.15
Fourth Quarter			2.25			3.10
Year Ended December 31, 2007
First Quarter		$	2.65		$	3.20
Second Quarter		$	1.41		$	3.15
Third Quarter		$	0.93		$	1.70
Fourth Quarter		$	1.25		$	1.85

On March 25, 2008, the closing price of our Common Stock on the OTC, market trading system was $1.01. As of March 25, 2008 there were 13,749,310 shares of Common Stock outstanding held of record by approximately 60 stockholders. We believe the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of Interlink’s outstanding Common Stock is held of record in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors.

DIVIDENDS

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. Payment of any cash dividends will depend on the results of our operations, our financial condition and our capital expenditure plans, as well as other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. We presently intend to retain any earnings for use in our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

Unless otherwise indicated, all operating trends and comparisons in this Form S-1 reflect the operations of our continuing business or components thereof. Information with respect to the performance, in 2007 and prior years, of our discontinued operations is reflected in the line item so captioned in our consolidated statements of operations. The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, our unaudited consolidated financial statements, the notes accompanying such financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Item 14.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. As permitted by the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except for any act or omission for which such elimination of liability is not permitted under the DGCL. Our Bylaws deny the directors and others the right to indemnification for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Interlink or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the DGCL, our Certificate and Bylaws also provide that (i) we may indemnify our other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL, (ii) we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain limited exceptions and (iii) the rights conferred in our Bylaws are not exclusive. There is currently no litigation, pending or otherwise, regarding which indemnification is currently or has previously been sought. The indemnification provisions in our Certificate and Bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the DGCL, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

* * * * *

The issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraph 1 above were effected without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof or Rule 701 thereunder as transactions pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation. The issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraphs 2 and 3 were effected without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder in that such sales were to purchasers who represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. None of the foregoing transactions was effected using any form of general advertising or general solicitation as such terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The recipients of securities in each such transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates or other instruments issued in such transactions. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing sales of securities.

Item 17.

Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

(a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(c) include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Table of Contents

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(b) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(c) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
