     The Company maintains an Internet website at www.rainbow.com which includes an investor relations page available to all interested parties, where all filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, along with any amendments to those reports are available free of charge, as reasonably practicable following the time they are filed with or furnished to the SEC.

General

     Rainbow Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) is a leading global provider of Information Technology (IT) security solutions. The Company applies its core technologies by making complex security easy to deploy for its customers. This focus has resulted in a variety of products and services that resolve its customers’ security issues including:

    Strong protection against software piracy for software publishers which includes comprehensive licensing solutions
 
    Equipment to secure classified and sensitive satellite and link communications in accordance with U.S. Government requirements
 
    High assurance security components and custom security product development for banking, healthcare, government, postal and defense customers
 
    Convenient key-chain devices providing reliable identity for web applications, workstations, networks and software products
 
    Acceleration of secure Internet and wireless web transactions
 
    Easy to deploy and manage, secure remote access to business-critical web infrastructures

     The Company is structured in two business segments: eSecurity Products (eSecurity) and Secure Communications Products (Secure Communications). eSecurity focuses on developing commercial products that break the “high security is complex security” paradigm by providing strong security in an easy to deploy, manage and use format. These include solutions for reliable identity, secure internet and wireless transaction acceleration, licensing solutions for software publishers, and Web security appliances. Secure Communications provides custom design and manufacturing of information security solutions for commercial enterprises, government and defense applications requiring either extraordinary performance and/or security. These products meet the high security, certification and manufacturing standards demanded by these markets and provide communication security for classified information and for personal identity authentication (see Note 12 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Prior to the second quarter of 2002, the Company had a third business segment called Spectria. Spectria offered consulting services for developing specialized applications including solutions for secure enterprise web portals, wireless applications, enterprise network intrusion auditing and security training for enterprise IT staff. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company announced that its Spectria segment had experienced rapidly deteriorating business prospects due to a severe decline in IT services infrastructure

spending. Consequently, the Company discontinued Spectria and closed its facility in Long Beach, California (see Note 8 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     The Company’s principal offices and subsidiaries are located in North America, Europe and Asia. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” refers to Rainbow Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company benefits from global sales reach and distributed development capability, leveraging effective software and hardware engineering capabilities in Irvine and Torrance, California, U.S.A., Delhi, India and Beijing, China.

Industry Background

     Rainbow Technologies, Inc., simplifies the deployment of complex security with products and services that address seven major markets: 1) security solutions for software publishers, 2) strong personal identity authentication components, 3) secure network transaction and secure network communication acceleration components, 4) high assurance security components, 5) commercial space communications, 6) U.S. Government space communications, and 7) network, voice and data security solutions.

     eSecurity serves the following markets:

  1.   Security solutions for software publishers - With a worldwide market share in excess of 42% (according to 2002 IDC industry report on the Software Licensing Authentication Token (SLAT) market), the Company is the leading developer and supplier of proprietary security products that prevent unlicensed use and piracy of software as well as products that protect the confidentiality of digital content transmitted over networked systems. Piracy and license management have been a concern for software publishers since the start of the industry and as this concern increases in proportion to the unit value of the software. Another factor that drives concern for anti-piracy and software management is the general legislative environment. Consequently, we are seeing certain geographies where the need for anti-piracy security occurs even for low unit priced software — for example, China. While in general, the software market has suffered over recent years with the decline in overall IT spending, most indications are that this is creating pent-up demand and that the industry will see an upturn as general IT funding returns. Software distribution methods are evolving from physically shipping retail packaged products for use with stand-alone personal computers and single licensed software programs to markets where there are many different methods of providing software access to users. Now, besides all of the original software distribution methods used, computers are connected to networks, including the internet. Software may be obtained from an internet distribution site, and licenses may be purchased for multiple users within entire enterprises. In addition, some software providers have been trying new business models — for example, Application Service Providers (ASP) provide users their products functionality through controlled access to a web site that provides their applications functionality to the user. The ASP distribution model has not seen much success in recent years but is slowly gaining traction. All of this experimentation in licensing and software delivery creates new business problems related to licensing and anti-piracy — which, in turn, requires new security solutions.
 
  2.   Strong personal identity authentication components - With a worldwide market share of over 50% (according to 2002 IDC industry report on the USB token authentication market), the Company is the leading developer and supplier of strong personal identity authentication solutions. The same report indicates that this market is predicted to grow at a 92 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate. This growth is being driven by: i) government regulations within healthcare and the banking industry requiring greater security of customer records; ii) dramatic increase in the frequency and severity of enterprise network intrusions and attacks; and iii) responses to the events of September 11th and resulting efforts to boost the security of the nation’s critical infrastructures. Large-scale Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) projects have been more complex, expensive and slower to deploy than originally expected resulting in part to an overall slowdown in the growth of PKI worldwide.
 
  3.   Secure network transaction and secure network communication acceleration components - Continued growth in internet e-commerce transactions and requirements for secure communications along with broad acceptance of the advantages of hardware acceleration of security protocols are factors significantly impacting this market. These factors have motivated the entrance of many competitors into this market and are rapidly driving the underlying components to become commodities. As a result, there has been steady erosion in pricing on some categories of security protocol acceleration hardware and there has also been a more pervasive inclusion of security protocol acceleration hardware within many network appliances.
 
  4.   High assurance security components - Increased network intrusion attempts and attacks, the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, new government regulations concerning privacy of consumer information, as well as concerns for national infrastructure security are motivating the continued deployment of enhanced high assurance security for health care, financial, and government applications. Some specific high assurance initiatives, such as Identrus for banking, are being deployed much slower than expected because of complexities of deployment and application support.

eSecurity Products

     Products for Security Solutions for Software Publishers

     These products combine sophisticated hardware and software encryption technology to prevent the illegal distribution and use of software. When software is protected by the Company’s Sentinel suite of hardware products (the “key”), the software program sends queries to the key that is attached to the parallel port of the computer. The key immediately evaluates each query and responds. The correct response ensures that standard operation of the software will continue without interruption. If the key is not present, the software will not operate. The keys incorporate the Company’s proprietary “algorithms” programmed into Company designed ASIC computer chips. An algorithm is a mathematical procedure for manipulating digital information with the intent of securing the information. An ASIC is a logic circuit designed for a specific use and implemented in an integrated circuit. A software developer utilizes a simple to use toolkit to implement Sentinel protection. Once this protection is implemented, developers need only include a Sentinel key with each software package shipped.

     The Company also offers software-based products that provide software license management and software protection for the distribution of software over the Internet. These products offer software publishers greater flexibility in how their products are licensed and distributed.

     The Company’s Secure Solutions Products include:

     SentinelSuperpro. Featuring the Company’s proprietary ASIC technology, this is the industry’s first key to combine multiple algorithms with programmable memory for increased security and flexibility. This product is compatible with a broad range of platforms and operating systems.

     Sentinel License Manager (LM). Allows publishers to issue licenses that control the use of their network products. LM supports flexible licensing models and allows remote upgrades. The Company’s customers’ end-users benefit from quick access to additional licenses, a range of terms and the ability to “try and buy”. LM supports secure distribution of software on CD-ROM on the Internet. In conjunction with Sentinel LM, SentinelExpress provides the security to distribute demos or licensed applications on the Internet, and obtain software licenses from a website. SentinelExpress allows consumers to evaluate, purchase and activate software easily through a developer’s website 24-hours a day.

     Products for Strong Personal Identity Authentication

     The Company’s identity authentication products use a variety of cryptographic techniques to support alternative modes of identity authentication and are compatible with many industry standard software applications and operating systems.

     iKey. iKey is a security token that can serve as a solution to a wide variety of computer security and information control issues. The iKey can be plugged into any standard computer “USB port,” and can serve to authenticate users for ensuring secure access to VPNs and computer network equipment. A “USB port” is a standard connectivity technology included on most new computers, servers and portable computer devices. Through user identification data contained in each iKey, the network is able to grant access according to the user’s authorization level.

     Products for Secure Network Transaction and Secure Network Acceleration

     The Company’s secure acceleration products use patent-pending technology to provide Internet commerce companies and manufacturers of Internet computer servers, firewalls, routers and switching equipment with increased security and accelerated Internet commerce transaction capabilities. A “firewall” is technology used for preventing unwanted inbound or outbound data at the

5


Table of Contents

boundary of a computer network based upon a set of established rules. A “router” is a computer-networking device that is responsible for directing the “route” data use to travel to its final destination.

     CryptoSwift. A high performance security co-processor for Internet computer transaction servers engaged in Internet commerce, electronic brokerage, financial services and other applications that require security functions of privacy and strong user authentication. It economically addresses the problem of server overload due to the calculation intense mathematics associated with “public key” encryption. This form of encryption is widely deployed in all web servers and browsers in use today and is the basis for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Electronic Transaction (SET), Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) protocols. CryptoSwift is an industry standard PCI bus card with a proprietary ASIC co-processor. Using patent-pending “wide integer” multipliers, it performs all the mathematics associated with public key encryption, allowing the server CPU to perform less calculation intense tasks. CryptoSwift offers plug-in compatibility with Netscape, Microsoft, Sun, HP and LINUX server and operating system software.

     NetSwift. NetSwift is an easy to deploy network appliance that provides security protocol acceleration for eCommerce and mCommerce transactions utilizing SSL and WTLS security protocols. NetSwift provides scalable performance and is suitable for line speed applications to one gigabit per second (gbps).

     NetSwift iGate. A comprehensive and simple to deploy appliance that incorporates the Company’s iKey and CryptoSwift products to provide end-to-end secure remote access to web enabled applications, creating an “instant Private Web.” Aimed at small to medium enterprises, governments and healthcare markets, the NetSwift iGate allows organizational constituents to get the information they need when they need it — securely, and with no impact to existing networks, applications or throughput. NetSwift iGate provides “always on” security including strong “two factor” authentication for web access, (replacing the traditional and weak password systems), transactional privacy utilizing SSL based encryption, granular access control and effective management tools — all in a “drop in” security appliance.

     Products for High Assurance Security

     The Company’s high assurance security products are used in applications in which security of the information is critical. These products comply with FIPS for information security. Some high-assurance applications demand security for keying information. For example, if keying information is stored on a system disk drive, some type of virus software could be uploaded by a hacker to locate keying information and e-mail that information out of the system. If an attacker has physical access to a system, the attacker could use readily available electronic test equipment to monitor a system to deduce the keying information. In high-assurance applications, the theft of keying information could result in theft of extremely large sums of cash, exposure of highly sensitive data, or compromise of a critical authentication process.

     CryptoSwift Hardware Security Module (HSM) - provides additional security required to protect sensitive keying information from malicious attacks and theft. With its tamper-active design, the CryptoSwift HSM’s evasive measures defeat physical attacks through detection and responses to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of keying information.

     The Company markets its Secure Communications products directly to the U.S. Government major defense prime contractors and commercial enterprises requiring high levels of information security. The products and development services offered to these organizations and enterprises implement network security, access control, content protection and telecommunication security solutions. Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts are utilized for most products. IDIQ contracts offer one of the most convenient contractual vehicles to sell products to the U.S. Government.

     The Company also maintains close relationships with U.S. Government-related agencies, the aerospace industry and commercial institutions. Through these relationships, the Company receives contracts for services and products on a selected source basis. In addition, contracts are awarded to the Company in response to requests for proposal from U.S. Government agencies, aerospace companies and commercial institutions. The Company also uses brochures, electronic marketing and exhibits at trade shows as well as participates in publicity activities.

Manufacturing

     eSecurity Products

     The Company’s eSecurity Products are manufactured by subcontractors in the United States, Asia and Europe from components specified and approved by the Company. The components include custom ASIC chips, standard electronic components and electronic hardware. The Company maintains control over the purchasing of materials and the planning and scheduling of the manufacturing and assembly process. After assembly of the components and functional test of the product, deliveries are made to the Company’s facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia where the products are inspected, tested and configured. The Company believes that it is the lowest cost producer of eSecurity products and believes that this will continue to be a competitive advantage.

     For the SentinelSuperpro product, the Company currently has one supplier of the custom ASIC chip. For other eSecurity products, the Company currently has relationships with chip suppliers that have multiple foundries available to produce the ASIC chips. If the suppliers are unable to fulfill the Company’s requirements, the Company may experience an interruption in the production of its products until an alternative source of supply is developed. The Company maintains a six month inventory of ASIC chips based on current sales levels in order to limit the potential for such an interruption. The Company believes that there are a number of companies capable of commencing the manufacture of its ASIC chips within six months of such an interruption.

     Secure Communications Products

     The Company’s Secure Communications manufacturing operations include the testing of ASICs and the assembly and testing of its satellite flight and ground units. Production subcontractors and manufacturing companies are utilized for the higher volume access control, stored value, link and network secure communications products. The Company maintains control over the planning and scheduling of the manufacturing and assembly process. The company has certification under ISO 9001 standards for all such operations.

     The Company has specific cryptographic technology embedded into ASICs that are fabricated to the Company’s specifications by ASIC manufacturers. The Company currently has relationships with four such ASIC manufacturers. These ASICs are processed to the specifications of the customer and the Company. Any interruption in the availability of these ASICs could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company. Most products are built to order, however, the company carries some inventory as required by the various business segments.

     The Company currently has a manufacturing relationship with Bulova Technologies LLC (BT) and Sanmina-SCI Corporation (SSCI) to manufacture the Company’s principal Secure Communications products. Any interruption in the availability of this product would have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company. BT and SSCI are dual sources manufacturing this product. SSCI’s manufacturing agreement, dated August 31, 2000, expires in June 2003, and is currently under negotiation. BT’s manufacturing agreement, dated May 30, 2001, expires in February 2004.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     In September 1998, a patent infringement action was filed against the Company by Globetrotter Software, Inc. (“Globetrotter”). It alleged that certain of the Company’s license management software products infringed a patent owned by Globetrotter. The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction banning the use of the products alleged to infringe. On September 24, 2001, the District Court granted partial summary judgment of non-infringement in favor of the Company. The Company had filed a counterclaim against Globetrotter. The counterclaim alleged that Globetrotter had engaged in violations of the antitrust laws and related common laws. On November 12, 2002, the District Court granted Globetrotter’s motion for partial summary judgment against the Company on the counterclaim. On November 15, 2002, the District Court entered judgment that dismissed all of the claims between Globetrotter and the Company and made no award to either firm. The judgment has now become final.

     In July 1998, a patent infringement claim was filed against the Company by Andrew Pickholtz, alleging that certain of the Company’s products infringe patents owned by Pickholtz. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment of non-infringement that was decided in favor of the Company in December 2000. In January 2001, Mr. Pickholtz filed a notice of appeal. After considering legal briefs filed by the Company and by Mr. Pickholtz, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard oral arguments in the case on November 7, 2001. On April 3, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals issued an opinion that modified the trial court’s construction of the patent claims in certain respects, revised the summary judgment for non-infringement in favor of the Company, and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The Company continues to believe the claims are without merit as found by the trial court and intends to continue to vigorously defend against any infringement claims made by Mr. Pickholtz.

     In June 2002, a breach of contract lawsuit was filed against the Company by a supplier. The complaint sought damages of $3.9 million. At June 30, 2002, the Company had a liability of $2.6 million for inventory purchases related to this matter included in Accounts payable. The Company filed a counterclaim in September 2002, alleging breach of warranty and negligence. The Company and the supplier entered into a settlement agreement in February 2003, under which each party released the other from any and all claims and causes of action in return for a payment by Company to the supplier of $1.6 million. The remaining $1.0 million in Accounts payable was reversed and credited to cost of sales as of December 31, 2002.

     The Company is also involved in other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the outcome of all current litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the profitability of the Company’s business segments from its continuing operations (eSecurity Products and Secure Communications Products) and its consolidated results of operations and financial condition during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The Company’s financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of its accounting policies that currently affect its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

     eSecurity recognizes revenues from product sales at the time of shipment. Secure Communications recognizes revenue and profit as work progresses on long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. Catalog product revenues and revenues under certain fixed-price contracts calling for delivery of a specified number of units are recognized as deliveries are made. Revenues under cost-reimbursement contracts are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. Certain contracts are awarded on a fixed-price incentive fee basis. Incentive fees on such contracts are considered when estimating revenues and profit rates and are recognized when the amounts can reasonably be determined. The costs attributed to units delivered under fixed-price contracts are based on the estimated average cost per unit at contract completion. Profits expected to be realized on long-term contracts are based on total revenues and estimated costs at completion. Revisions to contract profits are recorded in the accounting period in which the revisions are known. Estimated losses on contracts are recorded when identified. For research and development and other cost-plus-fee type contracts, the Company recognizes contract earnings using the percentage-of-completion method. The estimated contract revenues are recognized based on percentage-of-completion as determined by the cost-to-cost basis whereby revenues are recognized as contract costs are incurred. Spectria, which was discontinued in the second quarter of 2002, recognized revenues from eBusiness consulting fees as services were performed on a time and materials basis.

Accounts Receivable

     The Company is required to estimate the collectibility of its trade receivables and unbilled costs and fees. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables including the current credit-worthiness of each customer. Significant changes in required reserves have been recorded in prior periods and may occur in the future depending on future market conditions.

Inventory

     The Company is required to state its inventories at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the Company is required to exercise judgment in its assessment of future demand requirements and compare that with the current or committed inventory levels. The Company recorded charges for required reserves in the fiscal years 2002 and 2001 due to changes in strategic direction and market conditions. It is possible that changes in required inventory reserves may continue to occur in the future due to market conditions.

Deferred Taxes

     The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, estimated future taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. As a result of recent cumulative losses and the full utilization of the Company’s loss carryback potential, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance of $11.8 million against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2002 was appropriate. If, in the future, the Company believes that the deferred tax asset will be realized, which currently has a valuation allowance, the Company will be required to reverse the valuation allowance, which could result in an income tax benefit in the period of such determination.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

     The Company’s policy on capitalized software costs determines the timing of recognition of certain development costs. In addition, this policy determines whether the cost is classified as development expense or cost of license fees. Management is required to use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization.

13


Table of Contents

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based upon the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Amortization of capitalized software development costs commences when the products are available for general release to customers and is determined using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the respective products. Software development costs are written-off when projects are abandoned or when the estimated cash flows from a product are not expected to be sufficient to recover the capitalized software development costs.

Outlook

     Although the timing of improvement in business spending on information technology is unknown for the foreseeable future, the Company is anticipating improvement in eSecurity revenues for two reasons. The value the Company creates by mitigating piracy is more relevant in difficult economic times than ever. New account rates grow in reflection of this dynamic. The Company provides the security necessary to use the web as a lower cost way of providing remote access to core business applications. The Company believes that web access initiatives are being budgeted for, as part of broader IT cost reduction programs. The foregoing is a forward- looking statement.

     The Company’s Secure Communications business segment could be expected to have continued growth as demand for security products for the U.S. Government, Homeland Defense and other high assurance markets are increasing. Homeland Security (HLS) is a top priority for the Government and an opportunity for the Company’s Secure Communications segment. The Company believes initial Government investments will be for infrastructure and for first responders with demand for the Company’s products possibly increasing significantly in 2004. The Company is positioning its Secure Communications segment to benefit from these anticipated spending increases by partnering with the large HLS prime contractors and by having Government contract vehicles in place to capitalize on these opportunities. The foregoing is a forward-looking statement.

Comparison of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to year ended December 31, 2001

     On a consolidated basis, revenues from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 3% from the prior year to $126.1 million. The 13% decrease in revenues from the eSecurity segment was offset by a 16% increase in revenues in the Secure Communications segment. Revenues from domestic markets for 2002 increased 4% to $102.4 million while revenues from international markets slightly decreased 1% to $23.7 million. The increase in domestic revenues was due to the aforementioned increase in the Secure Communications segment, partially offset by the decrease in revenues from the eSecurity segment. The slight decrease in revenues from international markets was primarily due to a decrease in revenues in Europe, which was offset by continued growth in revenues in Asia Pacific. The decrease in revenues in Europe was primarily due to lower demand for security products.

     eSecurity Products revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased 13% to $48.8 million as compared with $56.4 million for 2001. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the decline in OEM markets for CryptoSwift SSL acceleration devices and decreased demand in Europe for business software applications, partially offset by strong growth in software security in Asia Pacific and an increase in authentication product sales in North America and Asia Pacific.

     Secure Communications Products revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 16% to $77.2 million as compared with $66.5 million for 2001. The increase in revenues was primarily due to continued growth in demand for link encryptors, voice and data security solutions and high-assurance commercial security products. The Secure Communications segment ended the year with a record backlog.

     Gross profit from eSecurity Products for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 32% of revenues as compared with 33% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. The slight decrease in gross profit in 2002 was caused by an increase in the reserve for excess and obsolete products and a write-off of capitalized and developed software, partially offset by efficiencies in manufacturing processes caused by lower overhead costs.

     Gross profit from Secure Communications Products for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 24% of revenues compared with 23% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. The slight increase in gross profit was primarily due to a change in mix to more profitable product sales.

     There can be no assurance that the Company will improve or maintain the level of gross profit percentages it experienced during the year ended December 31, 2002.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 were 27% of revenues compared with 33% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company’s overall reduction in expenses primarily in the eSecurity segment, as a result of the decrease in staffing and lower marketing expenses.

14


Table of Contents

     Total research and development expenses from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 were 7% of revenues compared with 8% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased by $1.3 million as compared with 2001. The dollar decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a decrease in engineering staff in the United States and greater use of research and development resources in India and China. This decrease was partially offset by higher research and development costs capitalized in 2001 by eSecurity and higher unfunded research and development expenses in 2002 from the Company’s Secure Communications segment.

     Goodwill amortization from continuing operations in 2002 decreased by $0.9 million as compared with 2001. The decrease was due to the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, whereby the Company ceased amortizing goodwill and performed an annual impairment test in accordance with SFAS 142 (see Note 1 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized foreign currency losses of $0.5 million, primarily due to dollar denominated deposit accounts maintained in Europe. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized foreign currency gains of $24,000, also primarily due to dollar denominated deposit accounts maintained in Europe. Such foreign currency gains and losses result from movement in the value of the U.S. dollar against the functional currencies used by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Foreign currency losses in 2002 were primarily due to the increase in exchange rate of euros to the dollar.

     The Company recorded an income tax provision from continuing operations of $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and a tax benefit from continuing operations of $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, which resulted in effective tax rates of approximately (164%) in 2002 and 34% in 2001. The federal statutory rate was 35% for both periods. The differences between our effective tax rates for 2002 and 2001 and the federal statutory rate resulted primarily from the effects of nondeductible goodwill impairment and recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

     During 2002, the Company provided a valuation allowance of $11.8 million against its net deferred tax assets as the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance was appropriate, as a result of its recent cumulative losses and the full utilization of its loss carryback potential.

Comparison of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to year ended December 31, 2000

     On a consolidated basis, revenues from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased 15% from the prior year to $122.9 million. The decrease is due to lower revenues in the eSecurity segment, partially offset by higher revenues in the Secure Communications segment. Revenues from international markets for 2001 decreased 27% to $24.0 million while revenues from domestic markets decreased by 11% to $98.9 million. The decrease in domestic revenues was due to the aforementioned decrease in eSecurity segment, partially offset by an increase in Secure Communications segment. The decrease in revenues from international markets was primarily due to a decrease in revenues in Europe partially offset by an increase in revenues in Asia Pacific. The decrease in revenues in Europe was primarily due to lower demand for security products while the increase in revenues in Asia Pacific was primarily due to higher revenues in China and revenues generated by the Company’s new office in Japan.

     eSecurity Products revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased 37% to $56.4 million as compared with $89.0 million for 2000. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the decline in OEM markets for CryptoSwift SSL acceleration devices and decreased demand in North America and Europe for business software applications.

     Secure Communications Products revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased 20% to $66.5 million as compared with $55.4 million for 2000. The increase in revenues was primarily due to continued growth in demand for satellite communications ground units.

     Gross profit from eSecurity Products for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 33% of revenues as compared with 69% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in 2001 was primarily due to an increase in costs recorded for excess and obsolete inventory, fixed overhead costs being allocated over a lower revenue base and increases in certain material component costs.

     Gross profit from Secure Communications Products for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 23% of revenues compared with 24% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000.

     Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 were 33% of revenues compared with 26% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to

a provision for bad debts of $2.0 million recorded in 2001.

     Total research and development expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were 8% of revenues. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased by $1.3 million as compared with 2000. The dollar decrease was primarily due to reductions in staff and decreases in compensation as a result of the restructuring in the third quarter of 2001.

     Goodwill amortization from continuing operations in 2001 decreased by $0.4 million to $0.9 million as compared with $1.3 million in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the goodwill impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2001.

     In the third quarter of 2001, the Company restructured and consolidated its Digital Rights Management (DRM) & iVEA operations into eSecurity. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges from continuing operations of $5.8 million relating to office space reduction and severance.

     In the third quarter of 2001, the Company performed a review for impairment of its goodwill relating to the Wyatt acquisition and determined that the carrying value of the goodwill was impaired. Impairment is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.5 million.

     During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized foreign currency losses of $24,000, primarily due to dollar denominated deposit accounts maintained in Europe. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recognized foreign currency gains of $78,000, also primarily due to dollar denominated deposit accounts maintained in Europe. Such foreign currency gains and losses result from movement in the value of the U.S. dollar against the functional currencies used by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

     The Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and a tax provision from continuing operations of $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, which resulted in effective tax rates of approximately 34% for 2001 and 35% for 2000. The federal statutory rate was 35% for both periods. The differences between our effective tax rates for 2001 and 2000 and the federal statutory rate resulted primarily from the effects of nondeductible goodwill impairment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company’s principal sources of operating funds have been from operations, tax refunds and proceeds from exercises of the Company’s common stock options. Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.2 million and $21.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $1.8 million. Operating activities in 2002 included a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.4 million, a provision for deferred income taxes of $16.3 million and non-cash charges which include $10.1 million of provision for excess and obsolete inventory, $5.7 million of write-off of capitalized and developed software and $15.2 million of write-off of goodwill and provisions for impairment of assets relating to discontinued operations. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily related to increased collection activities with improvement in days sales outstanding while the increase in the provision for taxes was primarily due to the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

     Net cash used in investing activities for 2002 of $2.4 million decreased from 2001 primarily due to lower capitalized software costs of $1.1 million and capital expenditures of $1.8 million. These decreases were in line with the Company’s overall reduction in expenses. Investing activities in 2000 included $3.8 million related to acquisitions.

     Net cash provided by financing activities in 2002 was $0.9 million while net cash used in financing activities for 2001 was $2.3 million. Financing activities in 2002 included $4.6 million received from common stock options exercised and $3.5 million of retirement of common stock while financing activities in 2001 included a $3.1 million repayment of line of credit, which expired in June 2001.

     At December 31, 2002, the Company’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland and Japan carry approximately $1.9 million, $1.1 million, $4.7 million, $2.6 million, $3.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in interest earning deposits which may result in foreign exchange gains or losses due to the fact that the functional currency in those subsidiaries is not the U.S. dollar.

     Management believes that the effect of inflation on the business of the Company for the past three years has been minimal.

     The Company believes that its current working capital of $62.2 million and anticipated working capital to be generated by future operations will be sufficient to support the Company’s working capital requirements through December 31, 2003 and for the foreseeable future. The foregoing is a forward-looking statement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148). This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and of the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of SFAS 148 are effective in fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has elected not to change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company accounts for employee stock options under the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, under which no compensation cost is generally recognized by the Company.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires a liability to be recognized at the time a company issues a guarantee for the fair value of the obligations assumed under certain guarantee agreements. Additional disclosures about guarantee agreements are also required in the interim and annual financial statements, including a rollforward of the Company’s product warranty liabilities. The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002. The provisions for initial recognition and measurement of guarantee agreements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect that the recognition provisions of FIN 45 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The principal difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to SFAS 146’s requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit costs as generally defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS 146 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business due to its use of certain financial instruments as well as transacting in various foreign currencies and translation of its foreign subsidiaries financial statements to the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

     At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company’s marketable available-for-sale securities included $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of fixed income securities. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value when interest rates change. These investments do not represent a material market risk to the Company. The Company places substantially all of its interest bearing investments with major financial institutions and by policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

Equity Price Risk

     The Company holds investments in various marketable available-for-sale and trading equity securities which are subject to price risk. The fair value of such investments as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The potential change in the fair value of these investments, assuming a 10% decline in prices, does not represent a material market risk to the Company.

17


Table of Contents

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

     The Company operates internationally and has adopted local currencies as the functional currencies for its foreign subsidiaries because their principal economic activities are most closely tied to the respective local currencies. This exposes the Company to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates to the extent that transactions are not denominated in the U.S. dollar. In consolidation, the Company converts the accounts of its foreign subsidiaries from the functional currency to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company faces the risk that the foreign currencies will have declined in value as compared to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a foreign currency translation loss. Assuming an adverse 10% foreign exchange rate fluctuation, the Company would have experienced translation losses of approximately $6.2 million and $2.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     The Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies as a result of the sales of its products in foreign markets. Assuming an adverse 10% foreign exchange rate fluctuation, the Company would have had a decrease in net income of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates which are a changed dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors’ products become more or less attractive. The Company’s sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors
Rainbow Technologies, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rainbow Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rainbow Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

RAINBOW TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2002

1. Description of the Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

     Rainbow Technologies, Inc. (the Company) develops, manufactures, programs and markets software and internet security products which prevent the unauthorized use of intellectual property, including software programs, provides privacy and security for network communications and develops and manufactures secure communication products for satellite communications.

Basis of Consolidation

     The accompanying financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

     In the second quarter of 2002, the Company announced that its Spectria segment had experienced rapidly deteriorating business prospects due to a severe decline in IT services infrastructure spending. Consequently, the Company discontinued Spectria and closed its facility in Long Beach, California. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, Spectria’s results of operations are included in the loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 (see Note 8). Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate to continuing operations.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, goodwill valuations, accrued warranty costs, restructuring costs, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and total estimated contract costs associated with billed and unbilled contract revenue.

Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

     All investment securities are considered to be either trading or available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Management determines classification at the time of purchase and re-evaluates its appropriateness at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities consist of tax-exempt and other debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates and equity securities. Unrealized gains and losses from trading securities are included in the results of operations while unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities are included in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within Shareholders’ Equity. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, gross unrealized losses on trading securities were $0.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, while gross unrealized gains were $2.9 million as of December 31, 2000. Gross unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities were ($1.0) million, $0.4 million and ($0.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There were no realized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, while realized gains were $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

     Included in Marketable Securities at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were trading securities of $25,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, and available-for-sale securities of $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Software Development Costs and Product Licenses

     SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based upon the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Amortization of capitalized software development costs commences when the products are available for general

release to customers and is determined using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the respective products. Software development costs are written-off when projects are abandoned or when the estimated cash flows from a product are not expected to be sufficient to recover the capitalized software development costs.

     Amortization of computer software development costs and product licenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 amounted to $4.2 million, $5.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the fiscal years 2002 and 2001, the Company wrote-off $5.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of previously capitalized software development costs. At December 31, 2002, the amortization of the remaining balance of other intangible assets of $7.5 million for each of the fiscal years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 will be $3.0 million, $2.9 million, $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the Company had $0.3 million of unamortized software development costs included in the remaining balance of other intangible assets of $7.5 million, which had not begun amortization. Amortization of software development costs commences when the products are available for general release to customers.

     The following table presents details of the Company’s other intangible assets that are subject to amortization:

Inventories

     Inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts are stated at actual production cost, including pro-rata allocations of factory overhead and general and administrative costs incurred-to-date, reduced by amounts identified with revenue recognized on units delivered. The costs attributed to units delivered under such long-term contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced.

     Inventories other than inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

     Additions to property, plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

         
Buildings
  31 years
Furniture
  3 to 6 years
Equipment
  3 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements
  Term of lease

Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for a business combination and requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS 141 was effective for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS 142 requires goodwill to no longer be amortized but instead be subject to an impairment test at least annually. The impairment test is comprised of two parts. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the respective carrying amount in order to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any.

     In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company performed the first part of the two-step goodwill impairment test for its business segments with goodwill, excluding the $12.8 million of goodwill related to the Spectria business segment, which was written-off and included in the loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 (see Note 8). For each of the Company’s business segments for which goodwill was recorded, the Company determined that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount as of January 1, 2002. As a result, the second step of the impairment test was not required. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2002 and determined that there were no indicators of impairment. The Company intends to perform its annual goodwill impairment test in subsequent years during the third quarter of each respective year. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $0.6 million and $22.1 million, respectively. Additionally, under SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortizing its remaining goodwill balance which resulted in reduced amortization of approximately $0.6 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2002. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 for goodwill was $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

     The evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill is significantly affected by management’s estimates of future operating cash flows from the acquired businesses to which the goodwill relates. If, in future periods, estimates of the present value of future operating cash flows decrease, the Company would be required to further write-down the goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. Any such write-down could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company closely monitors its remaining goodwill.

     At June 30, 2002, the Company wrote-off its goodwill relating to Spectria (Systematic Systems Integration, Inc.) of $9.2 million and (InfoCal LLC) of $3.6 million which were included in the results of operations under discontinued operations.

     At September 30, 2001, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge from continuing operations of $1.5 million relating to its eSecurity segment (Wyatt River Software). At June 30, 2000, the Company performed a review for impairment of long-lived assets related to QMT. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that all of the assets related to QMT were fully impaired and,

F-9


Table of Contents

as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $2.2 million to write-off all of QMT’s assets and to write-down the Company’s investment in QMT to zero.

Other Assets

     Other assets primarily represent investments in early stage companies that are accounted for on the cost basis. The Company periodically reviews these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and writes down investments to their fair value when an other-than-temporary decline has occurred based on the specific identification method. The Company generally believes an other-than-temporary decline has occurred when the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value for two consecutive quarters, absent evidence to the contrary.

Revenue Recognition

eSecurity

     The Company recognizes revenues from product sales at the time of shipment. Provision is currently made for estimated product returns which may occur under programs the Company has with certain of its distributors.

Secure Communications Products

     Catalog product revenues and revenues under certain fixed-price contracts calling for delivery of a specified number of units are recognized as deliveries are made. Revenues under cost-reimbursement contracts are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. Certain contracts are awarded on a fixed-price incentive fee basis. Incentive fees on such contracts are considered when estimating revenues and profit rates and are recognized when the amounts can reasonably be determined. The costs attributed to units delivered under fixed-price contracts are based on the estimated average cost per unit at contract completion. Profits expected to be realized on long-term contracts are based on total revenues and estimated costs at completion. Revisions to contract profits are recorded in the accounting period in which the revisions are known. Estimated losses on contracts are recorded when identified. For research and development and other cost-plus-fee type contracts, the Company recognizes contract earnings using the percentage-of-completion method. The estimated contract revenues are recognized based on percentage-of-completion as determined by the cost-to-cost basis whereby revenues are recognized as contract costs are incurred.

Warranty

     The Company generally warrants its products for periods of ninety days to two years. The standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective products returned at no cost to the customer. The Company records an estimate for warranty related costs based on amounts required to cover warranty expense on products sold and actual historical return rates at the time revenue is recognized. While warranty costs have historically been within management’s expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same warranty return rates as in the past. A significant increase in product return rates could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results for the period in which such returns materialize.

     The following details the Company’s warranty reserve:

Advertising

     The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses for 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $2.4 million, $3.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

     The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Research and Development

     Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

     Deferred taxes are provided for items recognized in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes.” In 2002, the Company determined that the realization of its net deferred tax assets is uncertain and, therefore, recorded a valuation allowance of $11.8 million to reduce the carrying amount of the Company’s net deferred tax assets to zero.

Foreign Currency

     Balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currency are translated at exchange rates as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of operations accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are accumulated as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within Shareholders’ Equity. The Company has adopted local currencies as the functional currencies for its subsidiaries because their principal economic activities are most closely tied to the respective local currencies.

     The Company does not engage in currency speculation. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) which are included in current operations were ($0.5) million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for 2000 were not material. Included in foreign currency transaction gains (losses) was a loss from repayment of inter- company loans to foreign subsidiaries of ($0.6) million in 2002 and a related gain of $0.8 million in 2001.

Stock Option Plans

     The Company follows the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended, and, accordingly, accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share, had compensation expense for the employee stock-based plans been recorded based on the fair value method under SFAS 123:

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, consisting of employee stock options. Common equivalent shares of 5,897,849, 6,502,035 and 5,591,196 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, have been excluded for diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect would be antidilutive.

Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables and interest bearing investments. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains adequate reserves for potential losses and such losses, which have historically been minimal (excluding the $2.0 million charge in 2001), have been within management’s expectations. The Company places substantially all of its interest bearing investments with major financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

     The Company sells the majority of its eSecurity Products to software developers and wholesale distributors throughout North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

     The majority of the Company’s Secure Communications products are sold to the U.S. Government (see Note 2). The U.S. Government accounted for approximately 32%, 28%, and 39% of consolidated revenues from continuing operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In addition, approximately 26% and 38% of consolidated accounts receivable and 49% and 44% of unbilled costs and fees at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were related to the U.S. Government.

     For its Secure Communications segment, the Company’s manufacturing operations include the testing of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”) and the assembly and testing of its satellite ground units and network communications products. The Company has specific cryptographic technology embedded into ASICs that are fabricated to the Company’s specifications by ASIC manufacturers. The Company currently has relationships with four such ASIC manufacturers. These ASICs are processed to the specifications of the U.S. Government and the Company. Any interruption in the availability of these ASICs could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

     The Company currently has manufacturing relationships with two suppliers to manufacture the Company’s principal Secure Communications Product. Any interruption in the availability of this product would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Having two sources mitigates the risk of any delivery shortfall resulting from one source having production difficulties. One manufacturing agreement expires in June 2003, and is currently under negotiation. The other manufacturing agreement expires in February 2004.

     For the Sentinel Superpro product, the Company currently has one supplier of the custom ASIC chip. For other eSecurity products, the Company currently has relationships with chip suppliers that have multiple foundries available to produce the ASIC chips. If the suppliers are unable to fulfill the Company’s requirements, the Company may experience an interruption in the production of its products until an alternative source of supply is developed. The Company maintains a six month inventory of ASIC chips based on current sales levels in order to limit the potential for such an interruption. The Company believes that there are a number of companies capable of commencing the manufacture of its ASIC chips within six months of such an interruption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148). This statement amends SFAS Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and of the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of SFAS 148 are effective in fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has elected not to change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company accounts for employee stock options under the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, under which no compensation cost is generally recognized by the Company.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires a liability to be recognized at the time a company issues a guarantee for the fair value of the obligations assumed under certain guarantee agreements. Additional disclosures about guarantee agreements are also required in the interim and annual financial statements, including a rollforward of the Company’s product warranty liabilities. The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002. The provisions for initial recognition and measurement of guarantee agreements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect that the recognition provisions of FIN 45 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task

F-12


Table of Contents

Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The principal difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to SFAS 146’s requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit costs as generally defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS 146 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

2. Government Contracts

     The Company is both a prime contractor and subcontractor under fixed-price and cost reimbursement contracts with the U.S. Government (Government). At the commencement of each contract or contract modification, the Company submits pricing proposals to the Government to establish indirect cost rates applicable to such contracts. These rates, after audit and approval by the Government, are used to settle costs on contracts completed during the previous year.

     To facilitate interim billings during the performance of its contracts, the Company establishes provisional billing rates, which are used in recognizing contract revenue and contract accounts receivable. The provisional billing rates are adjusted to actual at year-end and are subject to adjustment after Government audit.

     The Company has unbilled costs and fees related to government contracts of $0.4 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, the unbilled costs and fees are expected to be collected within one year.

3. Inventories

     Inventories consist of the following at December 31:

     (in thousands)
                 
    2002   2001
   
 
Raw materials
  $ 8,095     $ 14,016

  $ 9,308     $ 20,711  
 
   
     
 

     General and administrative expenses in inventory at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     At December 31, 2002, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of unrealized foreign currency translation gains of $1.6 million and unrealized losses on marketable securities of $1.2 million. At December 31, 2001, accumulated other comprehensive loss was comprised of unrealized foreign currency translation losses of $1.3 million and unrealized losses on marketable securities of $0.3 million, net of deferred taxes.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, marketable securities, receivables, unbilled costs and fees, payables and long-term investments. The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate current fair values, as a result of the short- term nature of these instruments.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company has purchase commitments with various vendors arising out of the normal course of business for approximately $21 million as of February 20, 2003. These purchase commitments have terms less than one year.

Legal Proceedings

     In September 1998, a patent infringement action was filed against the Company by Globetrotter Software, Inc., (“Globetrotter”). It alleged that certain of the Company’s license management software products infringed a patent owned by Globetrotter. The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction banning the use of the products alleged to infringe. On September 24, 2001, the District Court granted partial summary judgment of non-infringement in favor of the Company. The Company had filed a counterclaim against Globetrotter. The counterclaim alleged that Globetrotter had engaged in violations of the antitrust laws and related common laws. On November 12, 2002, the District Court granted Globetrotter’s motion for partial summary judgment against the Company on the counterclaim. On November 15, 2002, the District Court entered judgment that dismissed all of the claims between Globetrotter and the Company and made no award to either firm. The judgment has now become final.

     In July 1998, a patent infringement claim was filed against the Company by Andrew Pickholtz, alleging that certain of the Company’s products infringe patents owned by Pickholtz. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment of non-infringement that was decided in favor of the Company in December 2000. In January 2001, Mr. Pickholtz filed a notice of appeal. After considering legal briefs filed by the Company and by Mr. Pickholtz, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard oral arguments in the case on November 7, 2001. On April 3, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals issued an opinion that modified the trial court’s construction of the patent claims in certain respects, revised the summary judgment for non-infringement in favor of the Company, and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The Company continues to believe the claims are without merit as found by the trial court and intends to continue to vigorously defend against any infringement claims made by Mr. Pickholtz.

     In June 2002, a breach of contract lawsuit was filed against the Company by a supplier. The complaint sought damages of $3.9 million. At June 30, 2002, the Company had a liability of $2.6 million for inventory purchases related to this matter included in Accounts payable. The Company filed a counterclaim in September 2002, alleging breach of warranty and negligence. The Company and the supplier entered into a settlement agreement in February 2003, under which each party released the other from any and all claims and causes of action in return for a payment by Company to the supplier of $1.6 million. The remaining $1.0 million in Accounts payable was reversed and credited to cost of sales as of December 31, 2002.

     The Company is also involved in other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the outcome of all current litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

7. Stock Option Plans

     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS 123 requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

     As of December 31, 2002, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the existing stock option plans was 7,444,460 and the total number of options available for grant was 1,546,611. Under the plans, non-statutory or incentive stock options may be granted to key employees and individuals who provide services to the Company. The plan specifies that no options shall be exercisable prior to 12 months from the date of grant and all options expire ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest over 4 years.

     The weighted average remaining contractual life of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 were 6.7 years, 7.0 years and 7.8 years, respectively.

     Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and income (loss) per share is required by SFAS 123, as amended, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2002, 2001, and 2000: risk free interest rate of 2.81% for 2002, 4.0% for 2001 and 6.1% for 2000 dividend yield of 0% for 2002, 2001, and 2000; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 0.91 for 2002, 0.87 for 2001 and 0.70 for 2000; and a weighted-average life of the option of 4.0 years for 2002, 2001, and 2000.

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

     See Note 1 for the Company’s accounting policy for its Employee Stock-Based Plans, as well as the effect on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share, had expense for the Employee Stock-Based Plans been recorded based on the fair value method under SFAS 123, as amended.

     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions than were included under the previous standards.

9. Restructuring

     In the third quarter of 2001, the Company restructured and consolidated its Digital Rights Management and iVEA operations (eSecurity Products), resulting in a net staff reduction of 97 employees across all employee groups, primarily in the U.S. and recorded restructuring charges of $5.8 million.

     In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the cumulative losses sustained, the Company recorded a valuation reserve against all its net federal and state deferred tax assets.

     If or when recognized, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be accounted for primarily as a reduction of income tax expense.

     At December 31, 2002, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2020 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company is successor to net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.9 million from the acquisition of Wyatt River Software, Inc., which are subject to the change of ownership provisions and are limited to approximately $0.2 million per year.

     At December 31, 2002, the Company had a federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $0.5 million, which will begin to expire in 2018 and $0.2 million of state research and development credit carryforwards which will carryforward indefinitely.

     Utilization of the federal net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards could be limited in future years, if the Company were to experience a greater than 50 percent change in ownership within a 3-year period as defined in sections 382 and 383 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

     On September 11, 2002, the Governor of California signed into law new tax legislation that suspends the use of net operating loss carryforwards into tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2002 and 2003. Should the Company have taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2003, it may not look to California net operating losses generated in prior tax years to offset taxable income. This suspension will not apply to tax years beginning on or after 2004.

     The Company has not provided for U.S. taxes or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $ 14.6 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. If these earnings were distributed, foreign tax credits may become available under current law to reduce the resulting U.S. income tax liability.

     The Company realized tax benefits of $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $13.1 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from the exercise of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options.

11. Benefit Plans

     At December 31, 2002, the Company sponsored two tax deferred defined contribution plans for all eligible US employees. Under both plans, the employer matches certain employee contributions. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, Company contributions under both Plans totaled approximately $0.5 million, $0.6 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

12. Industry Segments

     The Company has two business segments comprising continuing operations. The first segment is the development and sale of devices which protect data and software from unauthorized use, products that provide access control to computer networks, Internet Websites and virtual private networks and products which accelerate performance of security servers and network equipment (eSecurity Products). The second segment is the development and sale of information security products to provide privacy and security for voice communication and data transmission (Secure Communications Products). All intercompany transactions are accounted for on the same basis as those with third-parties.

     In June 2002, the Company announced that its Spectria segment had experienced rapidly deteriorating business prospects due to a severe decline in IT services infrastructure spending. Consequently, the Company discontinued the operations of Spectria and closed its facility in Long Beach, California. Spectria’s results of operations are included in the loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.
