NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

We develop and sell computer software products and services designed to provide enterprise access control solutions. We understand our customers’ need to balance security and accessibility, and help them create a trusted environment both inside and outside of their organizations with our broad range of products for protecting and managing assets across the enterprise.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments and accruals) which are, in our opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The December 31, 2002 Condensed Balance Sheet is derived from our audited Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2002. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual 10-K Report for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stock Options

We account for our two stock option based plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation:

Foreign Currency Translation

Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. Translation gains or losses, net of applicable deferred taxes, are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and included in comprehensive income. During the second quarter of 2003, total comprehensive income amounted to $988 compared to total comprehensive loss of $7,097 for second quarter of 2002. During the first six months of 2003, total comprehensive income amounted to $1,517 compared to total comprehensive loss of $8,407 for second quarter of 2002.

In July 2002, we reached a settlement of the class action securities lawsuit that was brought in United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock between November 10, 1998 and March 31, 1999.

In November 2002, the Court granted final approval of the settlement for $10,100. $2,800 in cash was covered by our insurance. The $7,300 balance of the settlement was contributed by us in common stock on April 16, 2003, the date of distribution. Total shares distributed were 1,951,807.

We have two reportable segments consisting of Products and Services and Advanced Technology. Our Products and Services segment sells computer software products and services designed to provide secure access control for users engaging in business over public networks. Our Advanced Technology Division is a self-funded organization whose mission is to develop new technologies and products that meet the emerging needs of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the commercial sector. Our strategy is to focus only on development contracts that add value to our products and services offerings. As a result, we continue to innovate, providing state-of-the-market products for organizations of all types and sizes. Cash, investments, deferred tax assets, general and administrative expenses, and stock option compensation costs cannot be readily identified to the two business segments, therefore, they are presented separately in a corporate segment.

We evaluate segment performance based on gross profit. Resources are allocated based on contractual requirements as the Advanced Technology segment is reimbursed on a cost plus basis from the various agencies of the United States government. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Annual 10-K Report for the year ended December 31, 2002. Revenue is recognized when earnings process is complete and/or when performance of services are complete for the Products and Services segment. For Advanced Technology, contract revenue is recognized on the basis of costs incurred for the government contracts serviced by Advanced Technology and intersegment transfers are recorded at cost; there are no intercompany profits or losses recorded on intersegment transfers.

Our reportable segments are business units that offer distinct products and services to very different customer groups. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they require different managerial skill sets and are focused toward different markets.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our view only as of the date of this report. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

In addition, the following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, the risk factors detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as well as the factors identified in Forward Looking Statements below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Revenue. Our revenue increased 10 percent to $18.2 million for the second quarter of 2003 up from $16.6 million in the same period of 2002. Products and Services revenue was $17.6 million for the quarter, an increase of 13 percent over 2002. The year over year Products and Services revenue growth was driven primarily by an increase in SafeWord^® hardware token shipments, an increase in the direct Sidewinder^® G2^TM appliance sales, and increased traction with our OEM relationships. For the third and fourth quarters of 2003, we expect year over year Products and Services revenue growth of 14 percent and 21 percent, respectively. Advanced Technology contract revenue was $0.5 million for the quarter compared to $1.0 million in the same period of 2002 and consistent with our strategy of focusing only on funded development contracts that add value to our commercial product offerings. Advanced Technology revenue is projected to be between $0.5 and $0.8 million in each of the remaining quarters of 2003.

Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 87 percent in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 90 percent in 2002. This decrease in the gross margin rate was driven by an increase in SafeWord^® token shipments and related hardware costs. Aggregate gross margins throughout the remainder of 2003 are expected to be approximately 88 percent.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Total operating expenses remained flat at $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. As a percentage of revenue, total operating expense was 82 percent for the quarter compared to 89 percent in the same period of 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, including Advanced Technology revenue, operating expenses are expected to be 78 percent and 72 percent for the third and fourth quarters of 2003, respectively.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, and benefits related to personnel engaged in selling, marketing and customer support functions, along with costs related to advertising, promotions, public relations, travel and allocations of information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Selling and marketing expense increased 1 percent to $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase from $9.8 million in the same period of 2002. The increase resulted primarily from normal inflationary increases in payroll and related costs and an increase in commission expense due to expanding revenues, mostly offset by a reduction in headcount due to productivity gains. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expense was 55 percent for the quarter compared to 59 percent in the same period of 2002.

Table of Contents

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our product development personnel and allocations of information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Research and development expense remained fairly consistent in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 at $3.7 million. Expenses were able to remain consistent due to normal inflationary increases in payroll and related costs and an increase in common criteria certification costs offset by a reduction in headcount due to productivity gains. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense was 21 percent for the quarter compared to 22 percent in 2002.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, and related expenses for our executive, finance, and legal personnel along with allocated information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. General and administrative expense decreased 1 percent to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 from $1.3 million in the same period of 2002. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 7 percent for the second quarter of 2003 compared to 8 percent for the second quarter of 2002.

Non-recurring Expense. Non-recurring expense of $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 pertains to a one-time charge for a litigation settlement. In July 2002, we reached a settlement of the class action securities lawsuit that was brought in United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock between November 10, 1998 and March 31, 1999.

In November 2002, the Court granted final approval of the settlement for $10.1 million. $2.8 million in cash was covered by our insurance. The $7.3 million balance of the settlement was contributed by us in common stock on April 16, 2003, the date of distribution. Total shares distributed were 1,951,807.

Interest and Other Income. Net interest and other income was $46,000 in the second quarter of 2003, a decrease from $71,000 in the same period of 2002. The decrease reflects lower average interest rates in 2003 as compared to 2002.

Income Taxes. We recognized no income tax expense for either of the second quarters in 2003 or 2002. Tax expense of $105,000 incurred in the second quarter of 2003 for various foreign income and domestic minimum income taxes was offset by a corresponding increase in our net deferred tax asset. We believe it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets, which total $3.0 million at June 30, 2003, will be realized. The computations of our deferred tax assets and valuation allowance are based on taxable income we expect to earn on existing government contracts, commercial products, and projected interest income. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Revenue. Our revenue increased 17 percent to $35.2 million for the first six months of 2003 up from $30.1 million in the same period of 2002. Products and services revenue was $33.8 million for the first six months, an increase of 21 percent over the same six months of 2002. The Products and Services revenue growth was driven primarily by an increase in SafeWord^® hardware token shipments, an increase in the direct Sidewinder^® G2^TM appliance sales, and increased traction with our OEM relationships. For the third and fourth quarters of 2003, we expect year over year Products and Services revenue growth of 14 percent and 21 percent, respectively. Advanced Technology contract revenue was $1.4 million for the first six months of 2003, a decrease of 32 percent from the first six months of 2002 as we continue our focus on development contracts that add value to our products and services offerings. Advanced Technology revenue is projected to be between $0.5 and $0.8 million in each of the remaining quarters of 2003.

Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the first six months of 2003 was consistent with the same period in 2002 at 88 percent. Aggregate gross margins throughout the remainder of 2003 are expected to be approximately 88 percent.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Total operating expenses increased 5 percent to $29.3 million in the first six months of 2003 compared to $27.9 million in the same period of 2002. As a percentage of revenue, total operating expense was 83 percent for the quarter compared to 93 percent in the same period

Table of Contents

of 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, including Advanced Technology revenue, operating expenses are expected to be 78 percent and 72 percent for the third and fourth quarters of 2003, respectively.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, and benefits related to personnel engaged in selling, marketing and customer support functions, along with costs related to advertising, promotions, public relations, travel and allocations of information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Selling and marketing expense increased 5 percent to $19.2 million in the first of six months of 2003 up from $18.3 million in the same period of 2002. The increase resulted primarily from normal inflationary increases in payroll and related costs and an increase in commission expense due to expanding revenues.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our product development personnel and allocations of information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Research and development expense increased 7 percent to $7.7 million in the first six months of 2003 from $7.2 million in the same period of 2002. The increase resulted primarily from normal inflationary increases in payroll and related costs along with an increase in common criteria certification costs.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, and related expenses for our executive, finance, and legal personnel along with allocated information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. General and Administrative expense increased 4 percent to $2.5 million in the first six months of 2003 up from $2.4 million in the same period of 2002. The increase resulted primarily from normal inflationary increases in payroll and related costs.

Non-recurring Expense. Non-recurring expense of $7.3 million in the first six months of 2002 pertains to a one-time charge for a litigation settlement. In July 2002, we reached a settlement of the class action securities lawsuit that was brought in United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock between November 10, 1998 and March 31, 1999.

In November 2002, the Court granted final approval of the settlement for $10.1 million. $2.8 million in cash was covered by our insurance. The $7.3 million balance of the settlement was contributed by us in common stock on April 16, 2003, the date of distribution. Total shares distributed were 1,951,807.

Interest and Other Income. Net interest and other income was $99,000 in the first six months of 2003, a decrease from $287,000 in the same period of 2002. The decrease reflects lower average interest rates in 2003 as compared to 2002.

Income Taxes. We recognized no income tax expense in the first six months of 2003 or 2002. Tax expense of $256,000 incurred in first six months of 2003 for various foreign income and domestic minimum income taxes was offset by a corresponding increase in our net deferred tax asset. We believe it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets, which total $3.0 million at June 30, 2003, will be realized. The computations of our deferred tax assets and valuation allowance are based in part on taxable income we expect to earn on existing government contracts and projected interest income. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased by $833,000 from $21.4 million at December 31, 2002 to $22.2 million at June 30, 2003. This increase is due to cash provided by operating activities, the exercise of stock options and sales of common stock through our employee stock purchase plan. We expect that our cash flow from operations on a quarterly basis for the remainder of 2003 will approximate our quarterly operating results.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $793,000 resulting from net income for the quarter and an increase in accounts payable, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued liabilities and reserves. Accounts payable increased from $1.8 million at December 31, 2002 to $2.6 million at June 30, 2003 primarily due to the timing of inventory purchases. Accounts receivable increased from $11.4 million at December 31, 2002 to $12.8 million at June

Table of Contents

30, 2003 due to growth in billings. Days sales outstanding increased to 64 days at June 30, 2003 compared to 57 days at December 31, 2002 primarily due to growth in deferred revenue.

Net cash used for capital additions of $969,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003, was made up of computer equipment, technology upgrades, and leasehold improvements. We expect to use another $1.0 million throughout the remainder of 2003 mainly for computer equipment, technology upgrades and leasehold improvements.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 consisted primarily of proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and sales of common stock through our employee stock purchase plan.

As of June 30, 2003, we had working capital of $18.8 million. We anticipate using available cash to fund growth in operations, invest in capital equipment, acquire businesses, and to license technology or products related to our line of business.

We believe that we have sufficient financial resources available to fund our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We intend to continue to invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in interest bearing, short term investments.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made above, which are summarized below, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may be materially different. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include those identified below:

Table of Contents

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not have any material exposure to quantitative and qualitative market risks because we do not own any risk-sensitive financial instruments. We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, including bank time deposits and commercial paper. Investments in fixed rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. Our investment securities are held for purposes other than trading.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to disclose in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

In April 1999, purported securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against us and certain of our officers and directors. Each complaint alleged that defendants made false and misleading statements about our business condition and prospects during a purported class period of November 10, 1998 through March 31, 1999, and asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5. In July 2002, we reached a settlement of the class action complaint. In November 2002, the Court granted final approval of the settlement for $10.1 million. $2.8 million in cash was covered by our insurance. The $7.3 million balance of the settlement was contributed by us in common stock on April 16, 2003, the date of distribution. Total shares distributed were 1,951,807.
