ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS
ITEM 9: Regulation FP

         The registration statement filed by Document Security Systems, Inc.
("DSS") on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-116317) was declared effective by the
SEC on Thursday, August 12, 2004. The registration statement was a selling
shareholder filing, made by DSS in order to satisfy its obligation to security
holders who had been previously been granted registration rights for their
shares. The selling shareholders include the investors who had purchased
securities in a private placement offering completed in December 2003 through
Fordham Financial Management, Inc., a registered broker dealer firm which served
as placement agent.

         DSS did not register for sale any securities for its benefit. The
holders of 1,565,000 shares of DSS' common stock and warrants to purchase an
additional 1,435,000 shares of common stock. The shares will be sold, if at all,
at prevailing market prices for DSS' common stock or at prices negotiated by the
selling shareholders.

         Of the shares which may be offered for resale, 1,435,000 shares will be
issued to the selling shareholders only if they exercise warrants for the
purchase of shares of DSS' common stock. The warrants have exercise prices
ranging from $2.00 to $5.00 per share. If the selling shareholders exercise
their warrants, DSS will receive proceeds in the amount of the exercise price of
the warrant being exercised or up to $5,346,500 if all warrants are exercised.

         Sales of the securities by the selling shareholders may only be made by
delivery of a prospectus and in accordance with Regulation M and other
applicable rules and regulations. DSS expects to deliver final prospectuses to
the selling shareholders in the next few days for their use in selling the
securities.

                                    SIGNATURE

                  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report on Form 8-K to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
