ACTIVIDENTITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ActivIdentity Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) and its subsidiaries. The Company has subsidiaries in Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, and statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, as amended.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.

 

The Company operates on a fiscal year ending September 30. For convenience in this quarterly report, the Company refers to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as fiscal 2009 and fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 as fiscal 2010.

 

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.

 

On December 14, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of CoreStreet, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“CoreStreet”), through the merger of a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company with and into CoreStreet.  CoreStreet was a privately held company that provides Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) certification technology, distributed identity credential validation systems, and physical access control products.  Details of the consideration provided for the acquisition are set forth in Note 6 below.  The financial statements set forth in this Form 10-Q, specifically the statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2010, reflect the operations of CoreStreet from December 14, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 855 “Subsequent Events” (ASC 855), the financial statements have been evaluated for subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. During this period the Company did not have any material recognizable or non-recognizable subsequent events.

Table of Contents

 

2. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under current circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and best estimates and judgments may require further adjustments; therefore, actual results could differ from current estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the fair value of investments, the provision for doubtful accounts, obsolete and excess inventories, depreciation and amortization, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, sales warranty reserve, income taxes, restructuring liability, valuation of stock-based compensation, and contingencies.

 

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 (ASU 2009-13), “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” and Accounting Standard Update No. 2009-14 (ASU 2009-14), “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software.” These ASUs revise and clarify accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables, including how to separate deliverables into units of accounting determining the allocation of revenue to the units of accounting and the application of these provisions to tangible products containing software components. There are also expanded disclosures for significant judgments made in the application of these standards, if material. These pronouncements are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010 and earlier application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of applying this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements, and intends to implement the pronouncement on October 1, 2010.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has implemented provisions of this update related to disclosure of valuation techniques in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and noted no significant impact in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to implement provisions related to additional disclosures in the Level 3 roll forward in the first fiscal quarter of 2012 and does not expect a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

4. Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

7



Table of Contents

 

Level 1

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2

Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3

Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Most of the Company’s financial instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and measured using market approach. These instruments are valued using quoted market prices, or broker or dealer quotations. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include cash, term deposits, money market funds, and U.S. Treasury securities which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Financial instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active include the auction rate securities (ARS) that the Company sold in April 2010. Refer to Note 19 of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for details about the subsequent sale of these ARS. These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2010. These instruments are valued using the quoted price in the inactive market which equates to the actual sale price of these securities.

 

Financial instruments valued based on unobservable inputs include some ARS held by the Company.  These instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and measured using income approach. The Company estimates the fair value of these ARS using a discounted cash flow model incorporating assumptions regarding expected cash flows, liquidity risk, default risk, recovery risk, and interest rate risk.

 

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010, as presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, were as follows (in thousands):

There was a transfer of some of the Company’s ARS from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, these instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the availability of quoted prices in the inactive markets for these securities. Refer to Note 19 of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for details about the subsequent sale of these ARS. These instruments are valued using the quoted price in the inactive market which equates to the actual sale price of these securities.

 

5. Marketable Securities and Investments

 

Marketable Securities: The Company held $12.9 million of ARS classified as marketable securities at March 31, 2010. These securities include interests in Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO), closed-end mutual funds and a student loan agency. The Company has classified these securities as short-term and intends to sell these ARS within the next twelve month period. The original value of these securities was $27.5 million.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.5 million in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for securities previously held at par. In addition, while marking to market marketable securities at March 31, 2010, the Company recorded other comprehensive income of $1.7 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. Refer to Note 19 of notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements regarding the sale of certain marketable securities after March 31, 2010.

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company sold ARS with a carrying value of $3.1 million for proceeds of $5.5 million resulting in a gain of $2.4 million reported as other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These investments were originally purchased at par for $8.5 million. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, ARS of $0.1 million were redeemed for full par value.

 

Investments (Long-term): The Company does not have any investments classified as long-term at March 31, 2010 as the Company has classified the entire portfolio of ARS as marketable securities. The Company held $11.8 million in certain ARS classified as investments at September 30, 2009. Contractual maturity for these investments ranges from 2025 to 2052.

 

The Company believes it has made reasonable judgments in its valuation of marketable securities. However, if the relevant assumptions, estimates, or the related analyses prove incorrect or, if due to additional information received in the future, management’s conclusions would change, the Company may be required to change the recorded value of the marketable securities

 

6. Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. Consideration includes the cash paid, value of common stock issued and warrants for common stock as measured on the acquisition date, less any cash acquired. The common stock and warrants were issued in a private placement.

 

On December 14, 2009, the company completed the acquisition of CoreStreet for consideration of $18.5 million, net of cash acquired.  Consideration consisted of (i) $12.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired, (ii) 2.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock (of which approximately 1.5 million shares are subject to an escrow to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the stockholders of CoreStreet), (iii) warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock with a per share exercise price of $4.25 expiring December 31, 2011 with a fair value of $0.4 million, and (iv) warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock with a per share exercise price $5.00 expiring December 31, 2012 with a fair value of $0.4 million.  CoreStreet is a provider of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certification technology, distributed identity credential validation systems, and physical access control products. Their products are used primarily by Federal and State agencies in the United States.

The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The $9.4 million of goodwill was assigned to the Company’s single reporting unit and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The acquisition is complementary to and we anticipate that it will strengthen our strong authentication and credential management product portfolio. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. Customer relationships represent the fair values of the underlying relationships and agreements with CoreStreet’s customers. Developed technology represents the fair values of CoreStreet products that have reached technological feasibility and are a part of CoreStreet’s product lines. Trade name represents the fair value of brand and name recognition associated with the marketing of CoreStreet’s products and services.

8. Stock Repurchase Program; Treasury Shares

 

On February 18, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $10 million or approximately 8% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market from time to time over the next twelve months. All share repurchases subject to this program will be retired upon purchase completion. The Company’s Board of Directors has also authorized that purchases may be made under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A Rule 10b5-1 plan allows ActivIdentity to repurchase its shares during periods when the Company would normally not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, no repurchases of the Company’s common stock were made and the entire amount remains authorized for repurchase under the repurchase program.

Developed technology, customer relationships, patents and trade names are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their weighted average estimated economic or useful lives of 7 years, 10 years, 6 years and 1 year, respectively. The amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with guidance given in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 360 “Property, plant and equipment” (ASC 360) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Based on a review of events and circumstances at March 31, 2010, no indicators of impairment were identified. In assessing the recoverability of intangible assets, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the intangible assets. It is reasonably possible that these estimates, or their related assumptions, may change in the future, in which case the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of its intangible assets when events and changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a potential impairment.

The Company has accounted for goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350). Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; rather, they are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis or earlier if there are indicators of impairment. The first annual impairment analysis will be performed during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010.

 

13. Comprehensive Loss

15.  Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.

 

As of March 31, 2010, the Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance for substantially all of its net deferred tax assets since the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that they will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deductible and taxable temporary differences.  We consider, among other available information, historical earnings, scheduled reversals of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and other matters in making this assessment.

 

The Company recorded income tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 of $102,000 and $149,000, respectively. The income tax expense is primarily related to taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions.

 

The Company or its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. and California, as well as various other foreign and domestic jurisdictions. The Company recently concluded an examination from the French tax authority covering the fiscal 2005, 2006, and 2007 income tax returns that resulted in no significant tax adjustments.  The Company is currently under examination in Germany for the fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007 income tax returns.  The Company is currently not the subject of any additional income tax examinations.  In general, the earliest open year subject to examination is the year ended September 30, 2005, although depending upon jurisdiction, earlier tax years may remain open subject to limitations.

 

16.  Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share was computed using the net loss and weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Due to the Company’s net loss for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, all of our outstanding securities consisting of stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, to purchase 14.1 million and 11.1 million potential shares of common stock as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive but could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

 

17. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating leases

 

The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating leases for office space with original terms upto ten years.

Operating lease obligations include management fees which cover common area maintenance charges. Office rent expense under operating leases was $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease agreement for its office building in Fremont, California. The amendment extends the lease term to 10 years from the date of amendment, reduces the office space from 41,000 square feet to 29,000 square feet suspends the monthly cash portion of the rent payments for first eight months of the new term and significantly reduces the annual rent expense. The amendment also provides, that subject to a $1.2 million penalty, the Company may terminate the lease at any point after five years from the date of amendment

 

Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company has been named as a defendant in legal actions arising from its normal business activities, which the Company believes will not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.

 

On October 1, 2008, the Company filed a complaint in the Northern District of California, asserting U.S. Patent No. 6,575,360 against Intercede Group PLC and Intercede Ltd. (collectively, “Intercede”). On January 16, 2009, Intercede filed their answers, including counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability. On February 9, 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Intercede’s counterclaims and to strike certain of Intercede’s defenses. On March 26, 2009, Intercede filed a First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, amending their previously-asserted defenses and counterclaims, and asserting additional counterclaims for monopolization, attempted monopolization, fraud, and unfair competition. On May 15, 2009, the Company filed a second motion to dismiss Intercede’s counterclaims for monopolization, attempted monopolization, fraud and unfair competition. On September 11, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. On September 28, 2009, Intercede filed a Second Amended Answer and Counterclaims. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Intercede entered into a patent license agreement on mutually acceptable terms. This patent license agreement settles the patent infringement case brought by ActivIdentity before the U.S. District Court of Northern California, and a related case brought by Intercede in the United Kingdom High Court. Based on this agreement, all lawsuits over the “360 patents” (ActivIdentity U.S. patent 6,575,360 and ActivIdentity patent EP [UK] 0 981 803) were promptly dismissed, bringing an end to all patent infringement litigation between the two companies. No liability related to the Intercede litigation was recorded at March 31, 2010 or September 30, 2009 other than accrual for legal fees.

 

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with many of its customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third-party to the extent any such claim alleges that an ActivIdentity product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or violates any other proprietary rights of that third-party. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability for these indemnification agreements was recorded at March 31, 2010 or September 30, 2009.

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements indemnifying its executive officers and directors for certain events and occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable. The Company maintains directors and officers’ liability insurance designed to enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. No liability for these indemnification agreements was recorded at March 31, 2010 or September 30, 2009.

Table of Contents

 

Hardware revenue is comprised of tokens, readers, smart cards, and related equipment, generally to complement revenue of related software products. Hardware revenue decreased by $1.6 million (or 37%) and $2.3 million (or 25%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in our token sales in Asia Pacific and smart card and reader sales in EMEA and North America.

 

Service revenue is comprised of post-contract customer support and professional services not essential to the functionality of software, including installation, training and consulting. Service revenue decreased by $0.2 million (or 3%) and $1.0 million (or 8%) respectively during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease in service revenue was primarily driven by a change in our licensing arrangement for our Single Sign-On product with one of our significant customers.

North America revenue is primarily derived from deployments of our smart card-based software products, such as ActivClient™, the ActivIdentity ActivID™ Card Management System and ActivIdentity Secure Login™ Single Sign On, to various departments of the U.S. federal government and our enterprise customers. Revenue in North America declined slightly by $0.2 million (or 3%) and $0.5 million (or 3%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago.

 

Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) revenue is primarily derived from deployments of our strong authentication suite of products, such as ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ AAA Server for Remote Access and ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ Authentication Server, and authentication devices to various enterprise and financial customers. Revenue is also derived from deployments of our smart card-based software products to various government and enterprise customers. Revenue in EMEA decreased $0.4 million (or 6%) and $1.1 million (or 7%), respectively, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased spending by banking customers on our products.

 

Asia Pacific revenue is primarily derived from deployments of our strong authentication suite of products, authentication devices, and our smart card-based software products to various government, enterprise and financial customers. Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased by $1.3 million (or 72%) and $2.0 million (or 58%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in software customization revenue as a project related to the issuance of smart card driver’s licenses nears completion and a decrease in Token sales to the Asian banking sector.

Cost of software revenue includes the cost of professional services associated with customization essential to the functionality of software. The cost of software revenue decreased $0.7 million (or 65%) and $1.3 million (or 61%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease in software cost of revenue was primarily driven by decreased engineering service costs incurred on a large software customization project for the issuance of smart card driver’s licenses.

 

Cost of hardware revenue includes costs associated with the manufacturing and shipping of product, logistics, operations, warranty costs and charges related to excess and obsolete inventory. Cost of hardware revenue decreased $0.8 million (or 37%) and $1.1 million (or 24%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease in the cost of hardware revenue was primarily driven by a lower sales volume.

 

Cost of service revenue consists of personnel costs and expenses incurred in providing post-contract customer support and professional services not essential to software such as installation, training, and consulting. The cost of service revenue increased by $0.3 million (or 14%) and $0.2 million (or 6%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The increase was primarily the result of sustaining and support activities related to customer migrations to new versions of Single Sign On products and deploy large scale card management systems.

 

Amortization of developed technology and patents includes amortization of technology capitalized in our acquisitions and purchase of certain patents and related intellectual property from third parties. The amortization expense decreased $0.3 million (or 56%) and $0.7 million (or 62%) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease was the result of certain items becoming fully amortized and was consistent with the scheduled amortization of developed technology and patents.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES

 

A substantial proportion of our operating expenses are fixed. Accordingly, a small variation in the timing of revenue recognition can cause significant variations in operating results across periods.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other payroll expenses, stock-based compensation expense, sales commissions, travel, depreciation, allocations of facilities and information technology costs, and costs associated with marketing programs, promotions, and trade shows.

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.9 million (or 17%) and $1.5 million (or 14%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to reduced compensation and related expenses, specifically bonus and severance expense, partially offset by an increase in trade show expenses during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same periods a year ago.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other payroll expenses, stock-based compensation expense, travel, depreciation, allocations of facilities and information technology costs, and costs of components used in research, and development activities.

 

Research and development expenses increased by $0.6 million (or 17%) during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average headcount as a result of CoreStreet acquisition and reduced allocation of engineering expenses to cost of revenue as a result of decrease in activity to support a customized software project, during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period a year ago.

 

Research and development expenses decreased marginally by $0.1 million (or 1%) during the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period a year ago.

General and administration expenses increased $1.4 million (or 44%) and $2.1 million (or 32%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional service expenses related to intellectual property litigation with Intercede and to the acquisition of CoreStreet.

 

Restructuring expense (net of recoveries)

 

Restructuring expenses consist of severance and other costs associated with the reduction of headcount and facility exit costs. Facility exit costs consist primarily of future minimum lease payments net of estimated sub-lease income, if any.

Table of Contents

 

There was an adjustment of $0.4 million made to the restructuring expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of the amendment of a facilities lease agreement and projected termination of the sublease for a portion of the office building for which the restructuring reserve was recorded in prior periods. No such adjustment was recorded during the three and six months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Amortization of other intangible assets

 

Other intangible assets, namely customer relationships and trade names, were capitalized in acquisitions. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, amortization of other intangible assets was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively as compared to $0.04 million and $0.1 million, respectively, during the same periods a year ago.

 

The amortization expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 increased as compared to the same periods a year ago as a result of additional amortization expense of recently acquired amortizable intangible assets from the Company’s acquisition of CoreStreet during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 partially offset by certain items becoming fully amortized.

Other income (expense), net consists of interest income on the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investments, foreign exchange gains and losses primarily caused by the revaluation of inter-company balances and gains and losses on the sale of investments.

 

Interest income decreased $0.2 million (or 51%) and $0.8 million (or 68%) during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower average cash invested and lower average prevailing market interest rates during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same periods a year ago.

 

Other non-operating expense was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 primarily consisting of foreign exchange gains and losses caused by the revaluation of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheets of our foreign entities; and write down of marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the other non-operating income was $1.3 million due to a realized gain of $2.4 million on the sale of long-term investments in auction rate securities with a net book value of $3.1 million, which was sold for $5.5 million, partially offset by impairment of marketable securities of $0.5 million and net foreign exchange losses of $0.6 million. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the other non-operating expense was $3.1 million.

The portfolio of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash is managed by several financial institutions.  The decrease of $11.9 million was attributable primarily to (i) $12.8 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired, in relation to the CoreStreet acquisition (ii) $2.5 million used in operating activities, net, and (iii) cash received from the sale of investments in ARS for the amount of $5.6 million. The $11.8 million reduction in investments was the result of classification of ARS as marketable securities. Refer to Note 5 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details of our investment portfolio.

 

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.  From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products, or technologies.  A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, or to acquire products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies.

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities was $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The $4.4 million change in cash provided by (used in) operating activities was driven by (i) a $3.2 million increase in working capital for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009; and (ii) a $1.2 million change in the net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and investing gains or losses for the six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was $7.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4.7 million for the six months ended March 13, 2009. The $12.0 million change in cash provided by (used in) investing activities was driven by the $12.8 million in cash used for the acquisition of CoreStreet, net of cash acquired, during the six months ended March 31, 2010, offset by a $1.3 million long-term deposit classified as restricted cash made during the six months ended March 31, 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The above discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X.  We believe there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding the consolidated financial statements, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses and involve management’s judgment regarding significant estimates.  We have reviewed the critical accounting policies and their application in the preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The critical accounting policies and estimates are described below. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period.  The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, as amended.

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as set forth in:

 

·                  ASC 985-605 (formerly known as and comprised of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions and EITF 03-05, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software),

 

·                  ASC 605-25 (formerly known as Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables),

 

·                  ASC 605-35 (formerly known as and comprised of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45 (ARB 45), Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts, SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts),

 

·                  SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and

 

·                  Technical Practice Aid (TPA) interpretations of ASC 985-605 (SOP 97-2) issued by the AICPA (TPAs 5100.38 - 5100.76).

 

The application of the appropriate accounting principles to revenue is dependent upon the specific transaction and whether the sale includes hardware products, software products, post contract customer support (“PCS”), other professional services, or a combination of some or all of these products and/or services.

 

Subject to the additional conditions described below, the Company does not recognize revenue until: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the fee is fixed or determinable; (3) delivery has occurred; and (4) collection of the corresponding receivable is reasonably assured.

 

For multiple element arrangements that contain one or more deliverables for which the functionality is not dependent on the software, the arrangement fee is allocated between the “non-software” and software deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25 when the following criteria are met:

 

·                  The delivered item has stand alone value;

 

·                  There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements as demonstrated by vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value or third party evidence; and

 

·                  If the arrangement includes a general return right relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor.

 

If the above criteria are met, we allocate the arrangement fee to the delivered items using the residual value method. Revenue for the elements whose functionality is not dependent upon the delivered software is recognized in accordance with SAB 104, and revenue for software elements is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605. If the above criteria are not met, all deliverables are considered a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605 upon delivery of all elements of the arrangement.

Table of Contents

 

For multiple element arrangements that contain one or more deliverables for which the functionality is dependent on the software, the arrangement fee is subject to the provisions of ASC 985-605, and is allocated among each element, based on VSOE of fair value of each element if VSOE of each element exists. We determine VSOE of an element based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For an element not yet sold separately, VSOE may be established by management having the relevant authority as long as it is probable that the price, once established, will not change before separate introduction of the element in the marketplace. When arrangements contain multiple elements and VSOE exists for all undelivered elements only, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements based on the residual value method. For arrangements containing multiple elements wherein VSOE does not exist for all undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered and undelivered elements is deferred until VSOE exists or all elements have been delivered. Additionally, where VSOE does not exist to allocate the fee to the separate elements and the only undelivered element is PCS, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the contractual PCS period. For all other transactions not involving software, fair value is determined using the price when sold separately or other methods allowable under ASC 605-25.

 

Professional service revenue is recognized separately from the software element when the services are performed and when VSOE exists to allocate the revenue to the various elements in a multi-element arrangement, the services are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the arrangement, and the total price of the contract would vary with the inclusion or exclusion of the services. Revenue under these arrangements is presented as a component of service revenue on the statement of operations.

 

PCS contracts are typically priced as a percentage of the product license fee and generally have a one-year term. Services provided to customers under PCS contracts include technical product support and unspecified product upgrades, on a when and if available basis. Revenue from advance payments for PCS contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract and are classified as service revenue.

 

Even though delivery of PCS and services has started, if all of the criteria in ASC 985-605 for revenue recognition have not yet been met, PCS and service revenue recognition may not commence. At the time all the criteria in ASC 985-605 are met, the portion of the deferred amount based on the proportion of the service period that has already expired to the total service period is immediately recognized and the residual amount is recognized ratably over the longer of the remaining PCS or service period.

 

Except in arrangements where acceptance is considered perfunctory, where we have provided acceptance rights to certain customers, no products or services revenue is recognized until the earlier of the customer formal acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period granted to the customer.

 

For arrangements that involve some customization, modification or production services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software element, and separate accounting for these services is not permitted, revenue from the license and professional services essential to the functionality of the software is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC 605-35. The percentage-of-completion method is applied when we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the total cost of effort required for completion using the cost of labor hours incurred as the measure of progress towards completion. The progress toward completion is measured based on the date when the essential product functionality has been delivered or the application enters into a production environment or the point at which no significant additional professional service resources are required for the functionality of the software. Estimates are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion and these changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates when the information becomes known. Revenue under these arrangements is presented as a component of software revenue on the statement of operations as the related project revenue, including both the license and service components, are less than 10% of total net revenue. Where VSOE exists for professional services not essential to the functionality of the software, revenue is recorded as service revenue. Forecasted losses on contracts are accrued to cost of revenue in the period in which a forecasted loss is deemed probable and estimable. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled work-in-process is recorded as a receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

For single element arrangements, revenue from stand alone product sales is recognized upon shipment (unless shipping terms determine otherwise), net of estimated returns and/or certain estimated future price changes. Our practice is not to ship product to a reseller or distributor unless the reseller or distributor has a history of selling the products or the end-user is known and has been qualified. In certain specific and limited circumstances, we provide product return and price protection rights to certain distributors and resellers. We have established a reasonable basis through historical experience for estimating future returns and price changes. Actual returns and price protection claims have not been material to date.

Loss Contingencies

 

We record loss contingencies in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 450 (ASC 450). ASC 450 10 5 establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for loss contingencies. It requires accrual by a charge to profit and loss and disclosure for an estimated loss from a loss contingency if two conditions are met: (a) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for general or unspecified business risks (“reserves for general contingencies”) are not permitted.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Under the terms of a software development contract with a customer, we provide a performance guarantee in the form of a financial security agreement that extends through September 30, 2011.  At March 31, 2010, restricted cash, classified as non-current, included $1.8 million of financial guarantees secured by a term deposit.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under current circumstances. Future events, however, are subject to change and estimates and judgments routinely require adjustments, actual results could therefore differ from our current estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the fair value of investments, the provision for doubtful accounts, obsolete and excess inventories, depreciation and amortization, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, sales warranty reserve, income taxes, restructuring liability, valuation of stock-based compensation, and contingencies.

 

Goodwill

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 350 (ASC 350) “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, goodwill is not amortized. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. Accordingly, we periodically assess goodwill for impairment. Goodwill recorded in business combinations may significantly affect our future operating results to the extent impaired, but the magnitude and timing of any such impairment is uncertain. When we conduct our annual evaluation of goodwill during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or if impairment indicators are identified in the interim with respect to goodwill, the fair value of goodwill is re-assessed using valuation techniques that require significant management judgment. The key judgments include analysis of future cash flow which management believes to be an important factor in determination of the fair value of the Company’s sole reporting unit. This analysis takes into consideration certain revenue growth and operating expense forecasts. Should conditions be different than our last assessment, significant write-downs of goodwill may be required which will adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have off balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect upon our financial condition, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors, other than contractual obligations discussed above.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

 

The Company is exposed to currency exchange fluctuations as it sells products and incurs expenses globally. The Company manages the sensitivity of international sales by denominating transactions in U.S. dollars, Euros, Australian dollars and British pounds.  A natural hedge exists in some local currencies to a limited extent as local currency denominated revenue offsets some of the local currency denominated operating expenses. The fluctuation of foreign currencies resulted in a foreign currency exchange loss of $0.6 million and $0.5 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, and a loss of $0.8 million and $3.2 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, as recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income (expense), net.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 62% and 63%, respectively of total sales were invoiced in U.S. dollars.  Although the Company purchases many components in U.S. dollars, approximately 35% and 38% of its expenses during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, are denominated in other currencies, primarily in Euros and British pounds. Because more revenue is U.S. dollar-denominated than expenses, a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar could adversely affect operating results.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of significant cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The rate of return that the Company may be able to obtain on marketable securities will depend on market conditions at the time these investments are made and may differ from the rates secured in the past.

 

At March 31, 2010, the Company held $65.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $12.9 million in marketable securities and $1.8 million in long-term restricted cash for a total of $80.3 million. Refer to Notes 4 and 5 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details of our investment securities.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash with high credit quality financial institutions and investments consist of U.S. government and government agency securities, term deposits, and ARS.

 

The Company sells the majority of its products and services to a limited number of customers. If the financial conditions or results of operations of any one of the large customers deteriorate substantially, operating results could be adversely affected. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of significant customers. The Company does not generally require collateral and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses on customer accounts when considered necessary.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Report required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b). The controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

 

Definition of Disclosure Controls

 

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Disclosure Controls include components of its internal control over financial reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that components of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are included within its Disclosure Controls, they are included in the scope of the Company’s annual controls evaluation.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. Any claims or regulatory actions against us, whether valid or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time, and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.

 

On October 1, 2008, the Company filed a complaint in the Northern District of California, asserting U.S. Patent No. 6,575,360 against Intercede Group PLC and Intercede Ltd. (collectively, “Intercede”). On January 16, 2009, Intercede filed their answers, including counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability. On February 9, 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Intercede’s counterclaims and to strike certain of Intercede’s defenses. On March 26, 2009, Intercede filed a First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, amending their previously-asserted defenses and counterclaims, and asserting additional counterclaims for monopolization, attempted monopolization, fraud, and unfair competition. On May 15, 2009, the Company filed a second motion to dismiss Intercede’s counterclaims for monopolization, attempted monopolization, fraud and unfair competition. On September 11, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. On September 28, 2009, Intercede filed a Second Amended Answer and Counterclaims. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Intercede entered into a patent license agreement on mutually acceptable terms. This patent license agreement settles the patent infringement case brought by ActivIdentity before the U.S. District Court of Northern California, and a related case brought by Intercede in the United Kingdom High Court. Based on this agreement, all lawsuits over the “360 patents” (ActivIdentity U.S. patent 6,575,360 and ActivIdentity patent EP [UK] 0 981 803) were promptly dismissed, bringing an end to all patent infringement litigation between the two companies. No liability related to the Intercede litigation was recorded at March 31, 2010 or September 30, 2009 other than accrual for legal fees.

 

ITEM 1A:  RISK FACTORS

 

The risks described below are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or those are currently deemed to be insignificant also may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. The descriptions below include any material changes to and supersede the description of the risk factors affecting our business previously disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.

 

We have a history of losses and we may experience losses in the foreseeable future.

 

We have not achieved profitability and we may incur losses for the foreseeable future. In fiscal 2009 and 2008, we incurred losses of approximately $5.5 million and $76.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, our accumulated deficit was $328.6 million, which represents our net losses since inception. Although we had approximately $92.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and investments as of September 30, 2009, we may not be able to raise additional capital in the event that our current cash and cash equivalents are insufficient.

 

We will need to achieve incremental revenue growth and manage our costs to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis thereafter. It is possible that our revenue will grow at a slower rate than we anticipate or that operating expenses will increase beyond our current run rate. The current global economic slowdown could slow customer orders, as well as anticipated revenue growth, and could further delay our prospects for operating profitability.

 

Our cost-reduction initiatives may not result in the anticipated savings or more efficient operations and may harm our long-term viability.

 

37



Table of Contents

 

Over the past several years, we have implemented extensive cost cutting measures and have incurred significant cost-reduction charges as we have attempted to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. We expect that we may undertake further cost-reduction initiatives in the future as we realign our business around areas of strategic focus. Although we believe that it has been and will continue to be necessary to reduce the size and cost of our operations to improve our performance, the reduction in our operations may make it more difficult to develop and market new products and to compete successfully with other companies in our industry. In addition, many of the employees who have been terminated as part of our cost-reduction activities possessed specific knowledge or expertise that may prove to have been important to our operations, and we may be required to rehire them or to hire persons with similar skills in order to develop new products to increase our revenue. These efforts may not result in anticipated cost savings, making it difficult for us to achieve profitability. These cost-reduction initiatives may also preclude us from making complementary acquisitions and/or other potentially significant expenditures that could improve our product offerings, competitiveness or long-term prospects.

 

Our operating results may continue to be adversely affected by the current economic environment, unfavorable market and economic conditions.

 

The current global economic environment may continue to have a negative impact on demand for our services, our business and our foreign operations. The economic environment has or may negatively impact, among other things:

 

·

current and future demand for our products;

 

 

·

our customers’ continued growth and development of their businesses and our customers’ ability to continue as going concerns;

 

 

·

the ability of our customers to maintain their business;

 

 

·

price competition for our products and services;

 

 

·

the price of our common stock;

 

 

·

our liquidity.

 

In addition, to the extent that the economic environment impacts specific industry and geographic sectors in which many of our customers are concentrated, that may further negatively impact our business. If the economic and market conditions in the U.S. and globally do not improve, or if they further deteriorate, we may experience material adverse impacts on our business, operating results and financial position as a consequence of the above factors or otherwise.

 

We derive revenue from only a limited number of products and we do not have a diversified product base.

 

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from the sale of our credential management and strong authentication systems and products. We anticipate that substantially all of our future revenue, if any, will also be derived from these products. If for any reason our sale of these products is impeded or if we divest existing product lines as part of our ongoing strategic realignment, and we have not diversified our product offerings, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

 

Our customer base is highly concentrated and the loss of any one of these customers or delay in anticipated orders could adversely affect our business.

 

38



Table of Contents

 

Our customers consist primarily of medium to large enterprises, governments, system integrators, resellers, distributors, and OEMs. Historically, we have experienced a concentration of revenue in certain of our channel partners and customers. In fiscal 2009 and 2008, Novell accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. Additionally, a substantial portion of our total product revenue is generated from the governmental sector. In fiscal 2009 and 2008, worldwide government business accounted for approximately 19% and 20%, respectively, of total product revenue. Although government spending is currently high in light of various economic recovery initiatives, diversion of government resources to economic recovery programs and reductions in state and local government spending may harm our business. We expect future revenue variability in this sector due to fluctuations in government ordering patterns and frequent delays associated with larger programs.

 

Our operating results would be adversely affected if any of the following events occur:

 

· The loss of our significant customers;

· The failure of our significant customers to pay us due to their financial difficulties or for any other reason;

· The failure of any of our significant channel partners to renew their contracts upon expiration, or the termination by these partners of their contracts;

· The divestiture of products or product lines, which would cause the loss of that revenue; or

· Delays in orders from governmental agencies.

 

We expect to continue to depend upon a small number of large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue and the occurrence of any of the above events could further extend our reliance on remaining customers.

 

Our quarterly gross and net margins are difficult to predict, and if we miss quarterly financial expectations, our stock price could decline.

 

Our quarterly revenue, expense levels, and operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuate from quarter to quarter. It is likely that our operating results in some periods will vary from the guidance we have provided, or otherwise not meet investor expectations. If this happens, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. Fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results may be caused by many factors, including:

 

· The size and timing of customer orders which are received unevenly and unpredictably throughout a fiscal year and may be subject to seasonality relating to the United States federal government’s fiscal year and related spending patterns;

· The effect of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the timing of revenue recognition; for example, if prices for our products or services vary significantly, we may not maintain vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of undelivered elements which could result in deferring revenue to future periods;

· The timing of customer payments;

· The size and timing of revenue recognized in advance of actual customer billings and customers with installment payment schedules that may result in higher accounts receivable balances;

· Changes in financial markets, which could adversely affect the value of our assets and our liquidity;

· The relative mix of our software and services revenue, as well as the relative mix of product offerings, which could change in connection with strategic realignment initiatives;

· The application of new accounting regulations, which could negatively impact results; and

· Changes in currency exchange rates.

We have a long and often complicated sales cycle, which can result in significant revenue fluctuations between periods.

 

The sales cycle for our products is typically long and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little control. The typical sales cycle is six to nine months for an enterprise customer and over twelve months for a network service provider or government. As our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, a small fluctuation in the timing of sales can cause our operating results to vary significantly between periods. If revenue falls significantly below anticipated levels, our business would be negatively impacted.

 

Purchasing decisions for our products and systems may be subject to delay due to many factors that are outside of our control, such as:

 

· Political and economic uncertainties;

· Time required for a prospective customer to recognize the need for our products;

· Time and complexity for us to assess and determine a prospective customer’s IT environment;

· Customer’s requirements for customized features and functionalities;

· Turnover of key personnel at existing and prospective customers;

· Customer’s internal budgeting process; and

· Customer’s internal procedures for the approval of large purchases.

 

Furthermore, the implementation process can be subject to delays resulting from issues associated with incorporating new technologies into existing networks, deployment of a new network system or preservation of existing network infrastructure and data migration to the new system. Full deployment of our technology and products for such networks, servers, or other host systems can be scheduled to occur over an extended period, and the licensing of systems and products, including client and server software, smart cards, readers, and tokens, and the recognition of maintenance revenue, would also occur over this period. This interaction, thereby can negatively impact the results of our operations in the near term, resulting in unanticipated fluctuations between periods.

 

The market for some of our products is still developing and if the industry adopts standards or platforms incompatible with our standards or platforms, then our competitive position would be negatively affected.

 

The market for digital identity products is still emerging and is also experiencing consolidation. The evolution of the market is in a constant state of flux that may result in the development of different network computing platforms and industry standards that are not compatible with our current products or technologies.

 

We believe smart cards are an emerging platform for providing digital identity for network applications and for the procurement of services from private enterprise and government agencies. A key element of our business model is premised on the smart card becoming a common access platform for network computing in the future. Further, we have focused on developing our products for certain operating systems related to smart card deployment and use. Should platforms or form factors other than the smart card emerge as a preferred platform or should operating systems other than the specific systems we have focused on emerge as preferred operating systems, our current product offerings could be at a disadvantage. If this were to occur, our future growth and operating results would be negatively affected. Additionally, consolidation within this industry has created a more difficult competitive environment and may result in the broader adoption of competing platforms and systems.

 

40



Table of Contents

 

In addition, the digital identity market has evolving industry-wide standards. While we are actively engaged in discussions with industry peers to define what these standards should be, it is possible that any standards eventually adopted could prove disadvantageous to or incompatible with our business model and product lines. Uncertainty surrounding the Homeland Security Presidential Directive No. 12 (HSPD 12) may affect sales of our products to government agencies. If our products do not comply with the requirements of HSPD 12, we may not be able to sell to agencies that must comply with this Directive.

 

We rely on strategic relationships with other companies to develop and market our products. If we are unable to enter into additional relationships, or if we lose an existing relationship, our business could be harmed.

 

Our success depends on establishing and maintaining strategic relationships with other companies to develop, market, and distribute our technology and products and, in some cases, to incorporate our technology into their products. Part of our business strategy has been to enter into strategic alliances and other cooperative arrangements with other companies in the industry. We are currently involved in cooperative efforts to incorporate our products into the products of others, to jointly engage in research and development efforts, and to jointly engage in marketing efforts and reseller arrangements. To date, most of these relationships are non-exclusive, and some of our strategic partners have cooperative relationships with certain of our competitors.

 

If we are unable to enter into cooperative arrangements in the future or if we lose any of our current strategic or cooperative relationships, our business could be adversely affected. We do not control the time and resources devoted to such activities by parties with whom we have relationships. In addition, we may not have the resources available to satisfy our commitments, which may adversely affect these relationships. These relationships may not continue, may not be commercially successful, or may require the expenditure of significant financial, personnel, and administrative resources from time to time. Further, certain of our products and services compete with the products and services of our strategic partners, which may adversely affect our relationships with these partners, which could adversely affect our business.

 

We may be adversely affected by operating in international markets.

 

Our international operations subject us to risks associated with operating in foreign markets, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. International revenue and expenses make up a substantial portion of our business. A severe economic decline in any of our major foreign markets could make it difficult for our customers to pay us on a timely basis. Any such failure to pay, or deferral of payment, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. During fiscal 2009 and 2008, markets outside of North America accounted for 53% and 58%, respectively, of total revenue.

 

We face a number of additional risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

 

· Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

· Potentially adverse tax consequences;

· Export controls relating to encryption technology;

· Tariffs and other trade barriers;

· Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

· Laws that restrict our ability, and make it costly, to reduce our workforce;

· Changing political conditions;

· Exposures to different legal standards; and

· Burden of complying with a variety of laws and legal systems.

Table of Contents

 

While we present our financial statements in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our business is conducted outside of the United States and we incur a significant portion of our expenses in Euros, Australian dollars and British pounds. Some revenue transactions are denominated in foreign currencies as well. Significant fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may adversely affect our future operating results. Due to fluctuations in foreign currencies we recorded a loss of $0.8 million in fiscal 2009 and a loss of $2.0 million in fiscal 2008, on our consolidated statements of operations.

 

We invest in securities that are subject to market risk and the recent problems in the financial markets could adversely affect the value of our assets.

 

During fiscal 2008, we reclassified $33.0 million at cost of our investments in certain auction rate securities (“ARS”) from short-term to long-term investments as the auctions for these holdings effectively ceased with no indication as to when or if these auctions would resume in the future. Given these developments and the resultant consequences of the lack of liquidity for these investments, coupled with other developments in the credit markets in general, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on these holdings of $21.2 million, resulting in a carrying value of $11.8 million at September 30, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, these securities have been reclassified to marketable securities (short-term) on the balance sheet as a secondary market has developed and we are finding opportunities to dispose of these assets. At March 31, 2010, we held $12.9 million of ARS in our investment portfolio classified as marketable securities. The original cost of these ARS was $27.5 million. We have valued these securities based on our experience of receiving quotations in the secondary market. We believe the valuation of our ARS holdings at March 31, 2010 approximate the fair value.

 

ARS are structured to provide liquidity through a Dutch auction process that resets the interest rates paid at pre-determined intervals, generally every 28 days. The auctions have historically provided a liquid market for these securities. Our investments in ARS represent interests in collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”), closed-end mutual funds, derivative product companies, and student loans. Uncertainty in the financial markets has affected the liquidity of our ARS holdings and resulted in a significant increase in the risks related to the ARS investments, specifically the CDO and derivative product companies securities, and to a lesser degree, the student loan holdings. Historically, the fair value of ARS approximated par value due to the frequent auction events. However, failed auctions that began in August 2007 have resulted, in most cases, in revised estimates of fair value that are less than par.

 

We believe we have made reasonable judgments in our valuation exercise. If the relevant assumptions, estimates, or the related analyses still prove incorrect or, if due to additional information received in the future, management’s conclusions change, we may be required to change the recorded value of these securities, or other securities that make up the investment portfolio. We will continue to carefully monitor these securities and the ARS markets, and work diligently to recover any lost value through all available means. In fiscal 2010, we sold some of our ARS and the results of those sales may not be indicative of future amounts to be realized.

 

42



Table of Contents

 

If a liquid market for these securities does not develop, the ARS holdings may require us to recognize additional impairment charges. Any of these events could adversely affect our results of operations and our financial condition. A material change in these underlying estimates and assumptions could significantly change the reported value of the securities and could cause us to take charges for additional write-downs in value.

 

We rely on certain key employees and have faced challenges in the past with employee turnover in senior management. If we are not able to build and maintain a strong management team, our ability to manage and expand our business will be impacted. Employee turnover could adversely impact our revenue, costs and productivity.

 

In recent years, there has been significant and recurring turnover in all levels of management. In March 2008, our Chief Financial Officer, Mark Lustig, announced his resignation, effective in May 2008. In April 2008, Grant Evans became our Chief Executive Officer following the resignation of Thomas Jahn. In August 2008, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer / Chief Operating Officer, Jacques Kerrest. In November 2008, our President, Yves Audebert, left the Company. We may experience further turnover in management in the future and, as a result, we face challenges in effectively managing our operations during these periods of transition. If new key employees and other members of our senior management team cannot work together effectively, or if other members of our senior management team resign, our ability to effectively manage our business may be impacted.

 

In part due to our restructuring efforts over the past several years, we have become increasingly dependent on a smaller number of employees. If key employees leave ActivIdentity, we suffer loss of productivity while new employees are hired or promoted into vacant positions. The departure of highly skilled key employees sometimes results in a loss of talent or knowledge that is difficult to replace. There are also costs of recruiting and relocating new employees to fill these positions. For example, the recruiting market for experienced operations personnel is very competitive and we may be limited in our ability to attract and retain key operations talent if the need should arise. New employees must learn the ActivIdentity organization, products, and procedures. All of this takes time, reduces productivity and increases cost. The potential adverse impact of employee turnover is greater for situations involving senior positions in the Company and our turnover rate may be higher if key employees decided to leave on their own accord. If turnover increases, the adverse impact of turnover could materially affect our costs, productivity, or ability to respond quickly to the competitive environment.

 

We have recorded significant write-downs in recent periods for impairment of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and may have similar write-downs in future periods.

 

Due to our declining stock price, we conducted a goodwill impairment analysis in fiscal 2008, and determined the full carrying value of our goodwill was impaired. We recorded an impairment charge of $35.9 million to goodwill during fiscal 2008.

 

We may terminate additional non-core activities in the future or determine that our long-lived assets or acquired intangible assets have been impaired. Any future termination or impairment related charges could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

As of March 31, 2010, we have $10.2 million of intangible assets and $9.4 million of goodwill, representing 9% and 8%, respectively of our total assets. If the enterprise value at a future date is lower than the enterprise value as of our last impairment evaluation, the evaluation could result in an impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets charge if the circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Also, if our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the use of our intangible assets drop below the carrying value of intangible assets, an additional impairment charge may be required.

While we believe we currently have effective internal control over financial reporting, we may identify a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting that could cause investors to lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and result in a decrease in the value of our securities.

 

We will continue to evaluate, upgrade and enhance our internal controls. Because of inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, errors or omissions, including those caused by human error, the circumvention of overriding controls, the violation of company policies or practices (whether negligent or willful) or fraud, and any projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal controls to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate. We believe that we will not have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which would lead to material errors in our financial statements.  However, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement or difficulty in implementing required new or improved controls, our business and results of operations could be harmed, the results of operations we report could be subject to adjustments, we could fail to be able to provide reasonable assurance as to our financial results or the effectiveness of our internal controls or meet our reporting obligations and there could be a material adverse effect on our stock price and business.

 

Implementation of the new FASB rules and the issuance of new laws or other accounting regulations, or reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations, could materially impact our stated results.

 

From time to time, the government, courts and financial accounting boards issue new laws or accounting regulations, or modify or reinterpret existing ones.

 

There may be other future changes in FASB rules or in laws, interpretations or regulations that would affect our financial results or the way in which we present them. Additionally, changes in the laws or regulations could have adverse effects on our business that would affect our ability to compete, both nationally and internationally.

 

We must comply with European governmental regulations setting environmental standards.

 

Our activities in Europe require that we comply with European Union Directives with respect to product quality assurance standards and environmental standards. Directive 2002/95/ec of the European Parliament on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, known as the RoHS Directive, became effective on July 1, 2006. If we fail to maintain compliance, we may be restricted from selling our products in the European Union and this could adversely affect our results of operations. European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste, electrical and electronic equipment, known as the WEEE Directive, makes manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products. The WEEE Directive became effective on August 13, 2005. We may incur financial responsibility for the collection, recycling, treatment or disposal of products covered under the WEEE Directive. Because the EU member states have not fully implemented the WEEE Directive, the nature and extent of the costs to comply and fees or penalties associated with noncompliance are unknown at this time. Costs to comply with the WEEE Directive and similar future legislation, if applicable, may also include legal and regulatory costs and insurance costs. We may also be required to take additional reserves for costs associated with compliance with these regulations.

We or our suppliers may be impacted by new regulations related to climate change.

 

In addition to the European environmental regulations noted above, we or our suppliers may become subject to new laws enacted with regards to climate change. In the event that new laws are enacted or current laws are modified in countries in which we or our suppliers operate, our flow of product may be impacted and/or the costs of handling the potential waste associated with our products may increase dramatically, either of which could result in a significant negative impact on our ability to operate or operate profitably.

 

The protection of our intellectual property rights is crucial to our business and, if third parties use our intellectual property without our consent, our business could be damaged.

 

Our success is heavily dependent on protecting intellectual property rights in our proprietary technology, which is primarily our software. It is difficult for us to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights for a number of reasons, including:

 

· policing unauthorized copying or use of our products is difficult and expensive;

· software piracy is a persistent problem in the software industry;

· our patents may not cover the full scope of our product offerings and may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may be enforceable only in certain jurisdictions; and

· our shrink-wrap licenses may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

 

In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect intellectual property rights to as great an extent as those of the United States and France. We believe that effective protection of intellectual property rights is unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries, creating an increased risk of potential loss of proprietary technology due to piracy and misappropriation.

 

We also seek to protect our confidential information and trade secrets through the use of nondisclosure agreements with our employees, contractors, vendors, and partners. However, there is a risk that our trade secrets may be disclosed or published without our authorization, and in these situations it may be difficult or costly for us to enforce our rights and retrieve published trade secrets.

 

We sometimes contract with third parties to provide development services to us, and we routinely ask them to sign agreements that require them to assign intellectual property to us that is developed on our behalf. However, there is a risk that they will fail to disclose to us such intellectual property, or that they may have inadequate rights to such intellectual property. This could happen, for example, if they failed to obtain the necessary invention assignment agreements with their own employees.

 

We are involved in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may become involved in further litigation in the future. This type of litigation is costly and could negatively impact our operating results. See Item 3 - Legal Proceedings.

 

Our operating results could suffer if we are subject to intellectual property infringement claims.

 

We may face claims of infringement on proprietary rights of others that could subject us to costly litigation and possible restriction on the use of such proprietary rights. There is a risk that potential infringement or invalidity claims may be asserted or prosecuted against us and our products may be found to have infringed the rights of third parties. Such claims are costly to defend and could subject us to substantial litigation costs. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may be required to modify our products or may be forced to obtain a license for such intellectual property rights. However, we may not be able to modify our products or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We may pursue strategic acquisitions and investments that could have an adverse effect on our business if they are unsuccessful.

 

As part of our business strategy, we have acquired companies, technologies, product lines and personnel to complement our internally developed products or add new product lines in our business. For example, in December 2009, we acquired CoreStreet, Ltd., a privately held company headquartered in Boston. Critical to the success of this acquisition strategy in the future and, ultimately, our business as a whole, is the orderly, effective integration of acquired businesses, technologies, product lines and employees into our organization.  We expect that we will have a similar business strategy going forward. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:

 

· Our acquisitions may not enhance our business strategy nor result in an appropriate business model for integrated companies. Our assumptions about the business model and operations of the acquired company were incorrect, or its role in our business does not develop as we planned;

 

· We may apply overly optimistic valuation assumptions and models for the acquired businesses, and we may not realize anticipated cost synergies and revenue as quickly as we expected or at all. Customer demand for the acquired company’s products may not meet our expectations and we may incur higher than anticipated costs for the support and development of acquired products resulting in insufficient revenue to offset the increased expenses associated with acquisitions;

 

· We may not integrate acquired businesses, technologies, products, personnel and operations effectively. Our integration effort is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. We may have trouble integrating our sales channels and training our sales force for new product offerings. The acquired products may not be compatible with our existing products, making integration of acquired products difficult and costly and potentially delaying the release of other internally developed products. Ineffective internal controls of the acquired company may require remediation as part of the integration process;

 

· Management’s attention may be diverted from our day to day operations, resulting in disruption of our ongoing business;

 

·  Shareholders that hold relatively large interests in our company decided to dispose of their shares because the results of the acquisition are not consistent with their expectations.

 

· We may not retain key employees, customers, distributors and vendors of the companies we acquire. We may be required to assume pre-existing contractual relationships, which would be costly for us to terminate and disruptive for our customers; and

 

· The acquisitions may result in infringement, trade secret, product liability or other litigation.

 

As a result, it is possible that the contemplated benefits of these or any future acquisitions may not materialize within the time periods or to the extent anticipated.

 

We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities as a result of inter-company transfer pricing policies.

 

As a multinational organization, we conduct business and are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment and analysis is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision and related tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, inter-company transactions and calculations result in a variety of uncertain tax positions. Our inter-company pricing policies are subject to audits in the various foreign tax jurisdictions. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or potential tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.

It may be difficult for a third party to acquire the Company, which could affect the price of our common stock.

 

In July 2008, we adopted a stockholder rights agreement, which is sometimes also called a “poison pill.” This agreement has the effect of discouraging a stockholder from acquiring more than 20% of our issued and outstanding common stock without prior approval of our Board of Directors. We are also afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which will prevent us, for a period of three years, from engaging in a business combination with a person who acquires more than 15% of our common stock unless our Board of Directors’ or stockholders’ approval is obtained. Defensive measures such as the stockholder rights agreement and Section 203 are expected to have the effect of discouraging coercive hostile takeover attempts where the Board of Directors does not support the transaction. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction could deter potential acquirers or prevent the completion of a transaction in which our stockholders could receive a premium over the then current market price for their shares.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On December 14, 2009, the Company issued the following securities in connection with the acquisition of CoreStreet; (i) approximately 2.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) (of which approximately 1.5 million shares were subject to an escrow to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the stockholders of CoreStreet), (ii) warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock with a per share exercise price of $4.25 expiring December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Warrants”) and valued at $0.4 million and (iii) warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock with a per share exercise price $5.00 expiring December 31, 2012 and valued at $0.4 million (the “2012 Warrants” and, together with the 2011 Warrants, the “Warrants”).  The Shares and Warrants shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The aggregate offering price of the unregistered securities issued or to be issued in connection with the acquisition of CoreStreet was $5.0 million, or $2.27 per share.

 

The Securities were all issued in a private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The Company is relying on the exemptions provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act in connection with such issuances based on the representations made by the recipients of the Securities as to their status as accredited investors.

 

The Securities and the underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
