Item 8.01     Other Events

As previously disclosed,  Mitek Systems, Inc. ("Mitek") on July 7, 2004, entered
into an agreement  (the  "Agreement")  with Harland  Financial  Solutions,  Inc.
("HFS"), pursuant to which HFS acquired certain of Mitek's trade assets relating
to its "item  processing" line of business.  In addition,  HFS assumed the trade
liabilities  and hired  certain of Mitek's  personnel  relating  to this line of
business. As also previously disclosed,  under the terms of the Agreement, Mitek
was  eligible  to  receive  additional  consideration  from HFS  should  certain
contractual issues be resolved to the satisfaction of HFS.

On April 13, 2005, Mitek and HFS agreed that the contractual  issues in question
had been  resolved  such that HFS  delivered to Mitek an  additional  payment of
$1,000,000 under the Agreement. Mitek believes this payment is the final payment
it will receive from HFS under the Agreement.

The  precursor to the delivery of the payment from HFS was the  completion of an
arbitration  proceeding  between  Mitek and BSM,  Inc.  which  confirmed  to the
satisfaction  of HFS,  Mitek's  ability to assign certain rights and obligations
under the  Agreement.  Attached  hereto is a copy of the press release issued by
Mitek regarding the payment from HFS.

Item 9.01     Financial Statements and Exhibits.
