Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts are in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “VASCO,” “company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (“VASCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries design, develop, market and support hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. VASCO has operations in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States (“U.S.”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO and its subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During 2011, our wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary, DigiNotar B.V., was declared bankrupt. The court-appointed trustee is responsible for the business activities, administration and liquidation of DigiNotar B.V. Accordingly, related assets, liabilities and activities are reflected in discontinued operations.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The financial position and results of the operations of the majority of the company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense).

The financial position and results of operations of our operations in Singapore and Switzerland are measured in U.S. Dollars. For these subsidiaries, gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense). Translation adjustments arising from intercompany loans not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future are recorded as other comprehensive income.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, foreign currency transactions resulted in a loss of $1,208 and $1,109, respectively, compared to losses of $648 and $740 for the same periods in 2013.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985-605, Software – Revenue Recognition, ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements, and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104.

Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

In multiple-element arrangements, some of our products are accounted for under the software provisions of ASC 985-605 and others under the provisions that relate to the sale of non-software products.

In our typical multiple-element arrangement, the primary deliverables include:

 

  1. a client component (i.e., an item that is used by the person being authenticated in the form of either a new standalone hardware device or software that is downloaded onto a device the customer already owns),

 

  2. host system software that is installed on the customer’s systems (i.e., software on the host system that verifies the identity of the person being authenticated) or licenses for additional users on the host system software, if the host system software had been installed previously, and

 

  3. post contract support (“PCS”) in the form of maintenance on the host system software or support.

Our multiple-element arrangements may also include other items that are usually delivered prior to the recognition of any revenue and incidental to the overall transaction, such as initialization of the hardware device, customization of the hardware device itself or the packaging in which it is delivered, deployment services where we deliver the device to our customer’s end-use customer or employee and, in some limited cases, professional services to assist with the initial implementation of a new customer.

In multiple-element arrangements that include a hardware client device, we allocate the selling price among all elements, delivered and undelivered, based on our internal price lists and the percentage of the selling price of that element, per the price list, to the total of the estimated selling price of all of the elements per the price list. Our internal price lists for both delivered and undelivered elements were determined to be reasonable estimates of the selling price of each element based on a comparison of actual sales made to the price list for each item delivered and to vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for undelivered items.

Undelivered elements primarily are PCS. The method by which we determine VSOE has validated that the price lists are reasonable estimates of the selling price for PCS. The estimated selling price of PCS items is based on an established percentage of the user license fee attributable to the specific software and is applied consistently to all PCS arrangements. The percentage we use to establish VSOE, which is also generally consistent with the percentage used in the price list, is developed using the “bell curve method”. This method relies on historical data to show that at least 80% of renewals are within 15% of the median renewal percentage rate.

In multiple-element arrangements that include a software client device, we account for each element under the standards of ASC 985-605 related to software. When software client device and host software are delivered elements, we use the Residual Method (ASC 605-25) for determining the amount of revenue to recognize for token and software licenses if we have VSOE for all of the undelivered elements. Any discount provided to the customer is applied fully to the delivered elements in such an arrangement. VSOE of fair value of PCS agreements is based on customer renewal transactions for the initial two years on a worldwide basis. In sales arrangements where VSOE of fair value has not been established, revenue for all elements is deferred and amortized over the life of the arrangement.

For transactions other than multiple-element arrangements, we recognize revenue as follows:

 

  1. Hardware Revenue and License Fees: Revenue from the sale of computer security hardware or the license of software is recorded upon shipment or, if an acceptance period is allowed, at the latter of shipment or customer acceptance. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized.

 

  2. Maintenance and Support Agreements: Maintenance and support agreements generally call for us to provide software updates and technical support, respectively, to customers. Revenue on maintenance and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the applicable maintenance and support agreement.

 

  3. Services: Revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided.

 

  4. Consulting and Education Services: We provide consulting and education services to our customers. Revenue from such services is recognized during the period in which the services are performed.

 

8


Table of Contents

We recognize revenue from sales to distributors and resellers on the same basis as sales made directly to customers. We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

For large-volume transactions, we may negotiate a specific price that is based on the number of users of the software license or quantities of hardware supplied. The per unit prices for large-volume transactions are generally lower than transactions for smaller quantities and the price differences are commonly referred to as volume-purchase discounts.

All revenue is reported on a net basis, excluding any sales taxes or value added taxes.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in applying such process, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within such annual periods, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are high-quality short term money market instruments, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are held by a number of U.S. and non-U.S. commercial banks and money market investment funds.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Short term investments consist of bank certificates of deposit and high quality commercial paper with original maturities of more than three and less than twelve months.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The credit-worthiness of customers (including distributors and resellers) is reviewed prior to shipment. A reasonable assurance of collection is a requirement for revenue recognition. Verification of credit and/or the establishment of credit limits are part of the customer contract administration process. Credit limit adjustments for existing customers may result from the periodic review of outstanding accounts receivable. The company records trade accounts receivable at invoice values, which are generally equal to fair value.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for goods and services. We analyze accounts receivable balances, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment timing when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a specific review of all significant past-due accounts. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of hardware and component parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. We write down inventory when it appears that the carrying cost of the inventory may not be recovered through subsequent sale of the inventory. The company analyzes the quantity of inventory on hand, the quantity sold in the past year, the anticipated sales volume in the form of sales to new customers as well as sales to previous customers, the expected sales price and the cost of making the sale when evaluating the valuation of our inventory. If the sales volume or sales price of a specific model declines significantly, additional write downs may be required.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses resulting from sales, disposals, or retirements are recorded as incurred, at which time related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

We account for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350-20, Goodwill and Other. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include proprietary technology, patents, trademarks and other intangible assets. Intangible assets other than patents with definite lives are amortized over the useful life, generally three to seven years for proprietary technology. Patents are amortized over the life of the patent, generally 20 years in the U.S.

We assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives each year-end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Once identified, the amount of the impairment is computed by comparing carrying value of the assets to fair value. Fair value for goodwill and intangible assets is determined using a market approach using our stock price which is a level 1 valuation, as defined in ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Research and Development Costs

Costs for research and development, principally the design and development of hardware, and the design and development of software prior to the determination of technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred on a project-by-project basis.

Software Development Costs

We capitalize software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Research costs and software development costs, prior to the establishment of technological feasibility, determined based upon the creation of a working model, are expensed as incurred. Our software capitalization policy defines technological feasibility as a functioning beta test prototype with confirmed manufacturability (a working model), within a reasonably predictable range of costs. Additional criteria include receptive customers, or potential customers, as evidenced by interest expressed in a beta test prototype, at some suggested selling price. Our policy is to amortize capitalized costs by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally two to five years, including the period being reported on. No software development costs were capitalized during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We monitor our potential income tax exposures as required by ASC 740-10, Income Taxes.

We have significant net operating loss and other deductible carryforwards in certain foreign jurisdictions available to reduce the liability on future taxable income. A valuation reserve has been provided to offset some of these future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our financial instruments were cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined using level one inputs as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying amounts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Accounting for Leases

All of our leases are operating leases. Rent expense on facility leases is charged evenly over the life of the lease, regardless of the timing of actual payments.

Table of Contents

Stock-Based Compensation

We have stock-based employee compensation plans, described in Note 9. ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation requires us to estimate the fair value of restricted stock granted to employees, directors and others and to record compensation expense equal to the estimated fair value. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Warranty

Warranties are provided on the sale of certain of our products and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate the cost based on past claims experience, sales history and other considerations. We regularly assess the adequacy of our estimates and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our standard practice is to provide a warranty on our hardware products for either a one or two year period after the date of purchase. Customers may purchase extended warranties covering periods from one to four years after the standard warranty period. We defer the revenue associated with the extended warranty and recognize it into income on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We have historically experienced minimal actual claims over the warranty period.

Note 2 – Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represents the balance due on credit sales made to customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate of losses that may result from customers’ inability to make payment on their outstanding balances.

Note 7 – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is equal to our expected 2014 annual tax rate of 14%. This is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates. In the first half of 2014, our expected annual tax rate was estimated to be 15%.

Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 13%. The effective rate for the third quarter of 2014 is lower than the expected annual rate of 14% because it includes an adjustment for the first half of 2014 to account for the reduction in the expected annual rate from 15% to 14%.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was equal to our expected 2013 annual tax rate of 23%. The expected annual rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 29%. The effective rate for the quarter was higher than the estimated annual rate because it included an adjustment for the first half for the increase in the estimated annual rate from 17% to 23%.

At December 31, 2013, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $5,058 available for offset against future U.S. taxes on foreign earnings. Foreign tax credits of $944 expire in 2015 and the remaining $4,114 expire in 2023.

At December 31, 2013, we had foreign loss carryforwards of $5,093 and other foreign deductible carryforwards of $3,898. The foreign loss carryforwards have no expiration and the other deductible carryforwards expire from 2016 to 2020.

At December 31, 2013, we had a valuation allowance of $2,399 for certain foreign deferred tax assets.

Note 8 – Warranties

We maintain a reserve for potential warranty claims related to products sold and recognized in revenue. We regularly reassess the adequacy of our estimates and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our warranty reserve is included in other accrued expenses.

The activity in our warranty liability was as follows:

At September 30, 2014, deferred revenue from extended warranties was $87.

Note 9 – Long-Term Compensation Plan and Stock Based Compensation

Under the VASCO Data Security International, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Equity Incentive Plan”), we awarded 252 shares of restricted stock in the first quarter of 2014 consisting of 203 unissued shares subject to future performance criteria and 49 issued shares. The market value of the 49 issued restricted shares of $380 at the date of grant is being amortized over the vesting period of one year. The market value of the 203 unissued shares subject to performance criteria of $1,571 at the date of grant is being amortized over the respective vesting periods of three to four years.

Note 10 – Common Stock and Earnings per Share

In connection with the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 49 shares of restricted common stock for awards granted in the first quarter of 2014.

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of unexercised common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of unexercised or unvested common stock equivalents to the extent they are not anti-dilutive. The details of the earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 follow:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in thousands, except headcount, ratios, time periods and percents)

Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “VASCO,” “company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended concerning, among other things, our expectations regarding the prospects of, and developments and business strategies for, VASCO and our operations, including the development and marketing of certain new products and services and the anticipated future growth in certain markets in which we currently market and sell our products and services or anticipate selling and marketing our products or services in the future. These forward-looking statements (1) are identified by use of terms and phrases such as “expect”, “believe”, “will”, “anticipate”, “emerging”, “intend”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “estimate”, “should”, “objective”, “goal”, “possible”, “potential”, “project” and similar words and expressions, but such words and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying them, and (2) are subject to risks and uncertainties and represent our present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. VASCO cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors have been described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and include, but are not limited to, (a) risks of general market conditions, including currency fluctuations and the uncertainties resulting from turmoil in world economic and financial markets, (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasingly sophisticated hacking attempts, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, and changing government regulations, and (c) risks specific to VASCO, including, demand for our products and services, competition from more established firms and others, pressures on price levels and our historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers. Thus, the results that we actually achieve may differ materially from any anticipated results included in, or implied by these statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we do not have any obligations or intention to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances in the future or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

The following discussion is based upon our consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (percentages in the discussion, except for returns on average net cash balances, are rounded to the closest full percentage point) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We design, develop, market and support open standards-based hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. We also design, develop, market and support patented strong user authentication products and services for e-business and e-commerce. Our products enable secure financial transactions to be made over private enterprise networks and public networks, such as the internet. Our strong user authentication is delivered via our hardware and software DIGIPASS security products (collectively “DIGIPASSES”), many of which incorporate an electronic and digital signature capability, which further protects the integrity of electronic transactions and data transmissions. Some of our DIGIPASSES are compliant with the Europay MasterCard Visa (“EMV”) standard and are compatible with the MasterCard and VISA Chip Authentication Program (“CAP”). Some of our DIGIPASSES comply with the Initiative for Open Authentication (“OATH”). As evidenced by our current customer base, most of our products are purchased by businesses and, depending on the application, are distributed to either their employees or their customers. Those customers may be other businesses or, as an example in the case of internet banking, our customer banks’ corporate and retail customers. In future years, we expect that our customers will increasingly use our cloud-based service offering, DIGIPASS as a Service (“DPS”) or MYDIGIPASS.COM (“MDP”) or together (“DPS/MDP”) as described below.

Table of Contents

Our target market is any business process that uses some form of electronic interface, particularly the internet, where the owner of that process is at risk if unauthorized users can gain access to its process and either obtain proprietary information or execute transactions that are not authorized. Our products can not only increase the security associated with accessing the business process, thereby reducing the losses from unauthorized access, but also, in many cases, can reduce the cost of the process itself by automating activities that were previously performed manually.

We offer our products either through: (a) a product sales and licensing model; or (b) through our services platform, which includes both our DPS product offering, which was first made available in the fourth quarter of 2010, and our MDP product offering, which was introduced in April 2012. DPS/MDP is our cloud-based authentication platform. Our product license and sales model is expected to be used in situations where the application owner wants to control all of the critical aspects of the authentication process. We expect that our services platform will be used by: (a) companies lacking technical resources or expertise to implement a full authentication process or preferring to focus their primary attention on other aspects of their business rather than on the authentication process or (b) consumers that are aware of the dangers posed by identity theft.

By using our DPS/MDP authentication platform, business customers can deploy two-factor authentication more quickly, incur less upfront costs and be able to use strong authentication when logging onto a larger number of internet sites and applications. We expect those applications using DPS/MDP to include B2B applications and B2E applications (e.g., employees of companies logging into third party applications operated in the cloud). We believe that corporations or application service providers will pay us a fee based on either the number of users accessing their application through our platform or the number of authentication clicks consumed by their users when accessing their application.

While there were minimal revenues generated from the services platform to date, we expect that DPS/MDP will start making a small contribution in 2014. We believe that DPS/MDP has the potential for significant future growth as it will make two-factor authentication more affordable and readily available to users and application markets.

Comparison of Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Industry Growth: We do not believe that there are any accurate measurements of the total industry’s size or the industry’s growth rate. We believe, however, that the use of strong authentication products will grow at a significant rate as the use of the internet increases and the awareness of the risks of using the internet become more prevalent among application owners. We also believe that a market will develop for our cloud-based service offering and grow at a significant rate as business owners and consumers become more aware of the risks involved in conducting business over the internet. We expect that growth will be driven by new government regulations, growing awareness of the impact of identity theft, and the growth in commerce that is transacted electronically. The issues driving the growth are global issues and the rate of adoption in each country is a function of that country’s culture, the competitive position of businesses operating in that country, the country’s overall economic conditions and the degree to which businesses and consumers within the country use technology.

Economic Conditions: Our revenue may vary significantly with changes in the economic conditions in the countries in which we currently sell products. With our current concentration of revenue in Europe and specifically in the banking/finance vertical market, significant changes in the economic outlook for the European Banking market may have a significant effect on our revenue.

There continues to be significant global economic uncertainty, including Europe, our most important market. It appears that the economic conditions in the European region for the Banking market have stabilized. As a result of the improving conditions, we believe that customers from Europe will become an increasing percentage of our total business in 2014. Should the economic conditions decline significantly in Europe, it could have a major negative impact on the global economy, not just the economies of Western Europe, and our business.

In the third quarter of 2014, revenue from our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region, which accounted for 58% of our total revenue, increased 39% when compared to the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, revenue from our EMEA region, which accounted for 61% of our total revenue, increased 23% when compared to the first nine months of 2013. We believe that the increase in revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the comparable periods of 2013 was due in part to an improvement in the economic environment.

Cybersecurity: Our use of technology is increasing and is critical in three primary areas of our business:

 

  1. Software and information systems that we use to help us run our business more efficiently and cost effectively;

 

  2. The products we have traditionally sold and continue to sell to our customers for integration into their software applications contain technology that incorporates the use of secret numbers and encryption technology; and

 

  3. Products and services, such as DPS/MDP, that are focused on providing authentication services through our servers (or in the cloud from our customers’ perspective).

We believe that the risks and consequences of potential incidents in each of the above areas are different.

In the case of the information systems we use to help us run our business, we believe that a cyber incident could disrupt our ability to take orders or deliver product to our customers, but such a delay in these activities would not have a material impact on our overall results. To minimize this risk, we actively use various forms of security and monitor the use of our systems regularly to detect potential cyber incidents as soon as possible.

In the case of products that we have traditionally sold, we believe that the risk of a potential cyber incident is minimal. We offer our customers the ability to either create the secret numbers themselves or have us create the numbers on their behalf. When asked to create the numbers, we do so in a secure environment with limited physical access and store the numbers on a system that is not connected to any other network, including other VASCO networks, and similarly, is not connected to the internet.

In the case of our new products and services, which involve the active daily processing of the secret numbers on our servers or servers managed by others in a hosted environment, we believe a cyber-incident could have a material impact on our future business. We also believe that these products may be more susceptible to cyber-attacks than our traditional products since it involves the active processing of transactions using the secret numbers. While we do not have a significant amount of revenue from these products today, we believe that these products have the potential to provide substantial future growth. A cyber incident involving these products in the future could substantially impair our ability to grow the business and we could suffer significant monetary and other losses and significant reputational harm.

To minimize the risk, we review our security procedures on a regular basis. Our reviews include the processes and software programs we are currently using as well as new forms of cyber incidents and new or updated software programs that may be available in the market that would help mitigate the risk of incidents. While we do not insure against cyber incidents today, we would likely review insurance policies related to our new product offering in the future. Overall, we expect the cost of securing our networks will increase in future periods, whether through increased staff, systems or insurance coverage.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate reflects our global structure related to the ownership of our intellectual property (“IP”). All our IP is owned by two subsidiaries, one in the U.S. and one in Switzerland. These two subsidiaries have entered into agreements with most of the other VASCO entities under which those other entities provide services to our U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries on either a percentage of revenue or on a cost plus basis or both. Under this structure, the earnings of our service provider subsidiaries are relatively constant. These service provider companies tend to be in jurisdictions with higher effective tax rates. Fluctuations in earnings tend to flow to the U.S. company and the Swiss company. Earnings flowing to the U.S. company are expected to be taxed at a rate of 35% to 40%, while earnings flowing to the Swiss company are expected to be taxed at a rate ranging from 8% to 12%.

With the majority of our revenues being generated outside of the U.S., our consolidated effective tax rate is strongly influenced by the effective tax rate of our foreign operations. Changes in the effective rate related to foreign operations reflect changes in the geographic mix of where the earnings are realized and the tax rates in each of the countries in which it is earned. The statutory tax rate for the primary foreign tax jurisdictions ranges from 8% to 34%.

The geographic mix of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries will primarily depend on the level of our service provider subsidiaries’ pretax income, which is recorded as an expense by the U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries and the benefit that is realized in the U.S. and Switzerland through the sales of product. The level of pretax income in our service provider subsidiaries is expected to vary based on:

 

18


Table of Contents
  1. the staff, programs and services offered on a yearly basis by the various subsidiaries as determined by management, or

 

  2. the changes in exchange rates related to the currencies in the service provider subsidiaries, or

 

  3. the amount of revenues that the service provider subsidiaries generate.

For items 1 and 2 above, there is a direct impact in the opposite direction on earnings of the U.S. and Swiss entities. Any change from item 3 is generally expected to result in a larger change in income in the U.S. and Swiss entities in the direction of the change (increased revenues expected to result in increased margins/pretax profits and conversely decreased revenues expected to result in decreased margins/pretax profits).

In addition to the provision of services, the intercompany agreements transfer the majority of the business risk to our U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries. As a result, the contracting subsidiaries’ pretax income is reasonably assured while the pretax income of the U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries varies directly with our overall success in the market.

Currency Fluctuations: In the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, approximately 92% and 94%, respectively, of our revenue was generated outside the United States. In addition, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, approximately 79% and 81%, respectively, of our operating expenses were generated/incurred outside of the United States. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates, especially from the Euro to U.S. Dollar, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.

In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations on operating income, we attempt to denominate an amount of billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. If the amount our revenue in Europe denominated in Euros continues as it is now or declines, we do not expect that we will be able to balance fully the exposures of currency exchange rates on revenue and operating expenses.

The U.S. Dollar, on average, weakened approximately 2% against the Euro for the quarter and 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. We estimate that the change in currency rates in 2014 compared to 2013 resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $241 and $1,355 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013 and an increase in operating expenses of approximately $312 and $1,452 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013.

The financial position and the results of operations of most of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Switzerland and Singapore, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated other comprehensive losses of $2,858 and $2,695 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, and other comprehensive income of $3,498, and $1,231 in the in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. These amounts are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The functional currency for both our subsidiaries in Switzerland and Singapore is the U.S. Dollar.

Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other non-operating income (expense). Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregating $1,208 in the third quarter of 2014 compare to losses of $648 in the third quarter of 2013. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregating $1,109 in the first nine months of 2014 compare to transaction losses of $740 in the first nine months of 2013.

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2014 increased $13,477, or 34%, from the third quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to a 37% increase in revenues from the Banking market and a 23% increase in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security market. For the first nine months of 2014, total revenue increased $27,329 or 24% from the first nine months of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to a 25% increase in revenues from the Banking market and a 21% increase in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security market.

Revenue generated in EMEA during the third quarter of 2014 was $8,609, or 39%, higher than the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months, revenue generated in EMEA was $15,905, or 23% higher than the first nine months of 2013. The increase in revenues in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 reflected an increase in revenues from both the Banking and the Enterprise and Application Security markets.

Revenue generated in the United States for the third quarter was $1,247, or 44%, higher than the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months, revenue generated in the United States was $47, or 1% lower than the first nine months of 2013. Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 reflected an increase in revenue from both the Banking and Enterprise Security markets. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 reflected a decline in revenues from the Banking market partially offset by an increase in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security market.

Revenue generated in the Asia Pacific region during the third quarter of 2014 was $5,727, or 67%, higher than the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014 revenue was $13,785, or 69% higher than the first nine months of 2013. The increase in revenues in both periods reflected an increase in revenue from the Banking market partially offset by a decline in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security market.

Revenue generated from Other Countries during the third quarter of 2014 was $2,106, or 36%, lower than the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014 revenue was $2,314, or 16%, lower than the first nine months of 2013. The decrease in revenues from Other Countries in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from the Banking markets partially offset by an increase in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security markets.

We expect that revenues from regions other than EMEA will be more volatile given their earlier stage of development of the authentication market in those countries. VASCO, however, plans to continue to invest in new markets based on our estimates of the each market’s demand for strong user authentication.

Revenue by Target Market: Revenue is generated currently from two primary markets, banking/finance (Banking) and Enterprise and Application Security, through the use of both direct and indirect sales channels. The Enterprise and Application Security market includes products used by employees of corporations to secure their internal networks (i.e., enterprise security market) and business-to-business, business-to-consumer, e-commerce, e-government, e-gaming and other vertical applications (i.e., the application security market) that are not related to banking or finance. In addition, revenue from services-related activities, such as maintenance and support are included in the Enterprise and Application Security markets. Management currently views the Enterprise and Application Security market as one market because the same products are sold through the same channels to both customer groups. Sales to the Enterprise and Application Security market are generally for smaller quantities and higher prices than sales made to the Banking market. The breakdown of revenue between the two primary markets was as follows:

Revenue for the first nine months of 2014 from the Banking market increased $23,325, or 25%, compared to the first nine months of 2013, while revenue from the Enterprise and Application Security market increased $4,004 or 21% in the same period.

The increase in revenues from the Banking market in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013 reflected an increase in revenues from both hardware and non-hardware products sold.

Table of Contents

Revenues from the Banking market in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013 increased in all regions other than the Other Countries region. For the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013, increases in revenues from the Banking markets in EMEA and Asia Pacific regions were partially offset by decreases in revenues from the Banking markets in United States and Other Countries regions. While we believe that the global Banking market is relatively stable, our revenues may vary significantly period to period and region to region based on the size and timing of shipment of individual orders.

The increase in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security market in the both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 reflected an increase in revenues from non-hardware products partially offset by a decline in revenues from hardware products.

Revenues in the Enterprise and Application Security market in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods of 2013 increased in all regions other than Asia Pacific.

The size of the Enterprise and Application Security market in all regions other than EMEA is relatively small and, as a result, our revenues may vary significantly period to period based on the size and timing of shipment of individual orders.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $35,595, an increase of $10,541, or 42%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross profit margin) was 68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 64% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 2013 primarily reflects:

 

    an improvement in the gross margin of products sold, including card readers, and

 

    an increase in non-hardware revenue as a percentage of total revenue,

partially offset by,

 

    a decline in revenue from the Enterprise and Application Security market as a percentage of total revenue,

 

    an increase in card readers as a percentage of total revenue, and

 

    higher non-product costs, which includes freight, inventory write-downs and various other components not related to the manufacture of our product.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $92,412, an increase of $20,387, or 28%, from the comparable period in 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross profit margin) was 66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily reflects:

 

    an increase in non-hardware revenue as a percentage of total revenue, and

 

    lower non-product costs,

partially offset by,

 

    an increase in card readers as a percentage of total revenue.

Revenue from the Enterprise and Application Security market, which generally has gross profit margins that are 20 to 30 percentage points higher than the Banking market, was 16% of our total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 17% of our total revenue for the third quarter of 2013. Revenue from the Enterprise and Application Security market was 17% of our total revenue for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Card readers, which generally have gross profit margins that are 15 to 25 percentage points lower than other hardware-related margins due to competitive pricing pressures, were 12% and 17% of our total revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared to 10% and 13% of our total revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013.

Non-hardware revenue, which can have a gross profit margin that is approximately 20 to 30 percentage points higher than hardware-related revenue, depending on the model and quantity of the hardware units sold, was approximately 31% and 29% of total revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, and compares to approximately 28% of total revenue for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and the majority of such expenses are fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in the amount of revenue recognized in any given quarter could cause significant variations in the quarter-to-quarter comparisons of either the absolute amounts of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Generally, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is our headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 65% of our operating expenses. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount. We attempt to manage our headcount within the context of the economic environments in which we operate and the investments that we believe we need for our infrastructure to support future growth and for our products to be competitive. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, our average headcount was 8% and 2% lower, respectively, than the same periods in 2013.

Table of Contents

On a consolidated basis, our operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $21,753 and $67,033, respectively, an increase of $1,730, or 9%, from the third quarter of 2013 and an increase of $4,679, or 8%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in consolidated operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily related to increased incentive compensation expenses related to higher revenues and the strengthening of the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar partially offset by the decline in average headcount. As noted above, we estimate that the change in currency rates in 2014 compared to 2013 resulted in an increase in operating expenses of approximately $312 and $1,452 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013.

Operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 included $981 and $2,411, respectively, of expenses related to long-term incentive plan costs compared to $604 and $1,962 of long-term incentive plan costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 were $10,729, an increase of $1,354, or 14%, from the third quarter of 2013. Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $32,410, an increase of $2,934, or 10%, from the same period of 2013. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 primarily reflected an increase in incentive compensation expenses related to higher revenues and the impact of the strengthening of the Euro.

Average full-time sales, marketing, support, and operating employee headcount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 183 and 187, respectively compared to 195 and 186 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Headcount was approximately 6% lower for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 and 1% higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013.

Research and Development Expenses

Consolidated research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $4,441, a decrease of $624, or 12%, from the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in research and development expenses for the third quarter primarily reflected a decrease in expense associated with the closure of our facility in Brisbane in 2013 partially offset by increased expenses associated with our acquisition of Risk IDS in the second quarter of 2014 and the impact of the strengthening of the Euro.

Consolidated research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $14,784, a decrease of $473, or 3%, from the same period of 2013. The decrease in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily reflected a decrease in expense associated with the closure of our facility in Brisbane in 2013 partially offset by increased expense associated with Cronto, which was acquired in May 2013, increased expenses associated with our acquisition of Risk IDS in the second quarter of 2014 and the impact of the strengthening of the Euro.

Average full-time research and development employee headcount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 134 and 138, respectively compared to 150 and 146 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Headcount was approximately 11% and 5% lower for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $5,440, an increase of $971, or 22%, from the third quarter of 2013. Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $16,447, an increase of $1,033, or 7%, when compared the same period of 2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 primarily reflected an increase in incentive compensation expense and the impact of the strengthening of the Euro.

Table of Contents

Average full-time general and administrative employee headcount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 57 and 58, respectively, compared to 60 and 59 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Headcount was approximately 5% lower and 2% lower for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2013.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 was $1,143 and $3,392, respectively, an increase of $29 when compared to the third quarter of 2013 and an increase of $1,185 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in amortization expense for the first nine months of 2014 primarily reflects the amortization of purchased intangible assets related to the acquisition of Cronto Limited in the second quarter of 2013 and Risk IDS in the second quarter of 2014.

Interest Income

Consolidated net interest income was $35 in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to income of $48 in the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest income was $70 compared to $130 for the same period of 2013. The decrease in interest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 reflects a reduction in the average interest rate earned on the invested balances partially offset by an increase in the average balances.

Our average combined balance of cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 of $123,202 and $113,084, respectively, was 39% and 16% higher, respectively, than in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013. Our annual return on cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments was approximately 0.12% and 0.08% for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 0.22% and 0.18% for the comparable periods in 2013.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense) primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ functional currencies, subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our research and development in those countries and other miscellaneous non-operational, non-recurring expenses.

Other expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $986 compared to other expense of $304 for the third quarter of 2013. Other expense included exchange losses of $1,208 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to exchange losses of $648 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Other expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $300 compared to other income of $109 for the first nine months of 2013. Other expense included exchange losses of $1,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to exchange losses of $740 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $1,682, an increase of $276 from the third quarter of 2013. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $3,521, an increase of $1,242 from the same period in 2013. The increase in tax expense in 2014 from 2013 in both periods is attributable to higher pretax income partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 13% for the third quarter of 2014 and 14% first nine months of 2014 compared to 29% for the third quarter of 2013 and 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 was negatively impacted by an adjustment to increase our estimated full-year tax rate from 17% to 23%.

The effective tax rate for both periods reflects our estimate of our full-year tax rate at the end of each respective period. The decline in the tax rate was primarily related to an increase in the estimated earnings, primarily in our foreign operations, which are taxed at a more favorable rate than in the U.S. We believe that our effective tax rate may vary significantly quarter to quarter as actual earnings or losses are realized in countries with differing tax rates or with loss carryforwards that have been reserved.

At December 31, 2013, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $5,058 for future U.S. tax returns. Foreign tax credits of $944 expire in 2015 and the remaining $4,114 expire in 2023. We have not provided a valuation reserve for the foreign tax credits as we believe it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

At December 31, 2013, we had foreign NOL carryforwards of $5,093 and other foreign deductible carryforwards of $3,898. The foreign NOL carryforwards have no expiration dates and the other deductible carryforwards expire from 2016 to 2020. At December 31, 2013, we had a valuation allowance of $2,399 for certain foreign deferred tax assets.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

We reported an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of $46 and $68 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The loss for both periods include ongoing expenses related to the bankruptcy and discontinuation of the DigiNotar business in the third quarter of 2011. The after tax losses of $47 and income of $286 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, reflect the results of the DigiNotar operation during those time periods. The income reported in the first nine months of 2013 reflected a change in the estimated cost to settle certain liabilities accrued in previous periods.

As previously reported, in connection with the bankruptcy of DigiNotar B.V., subsequent to September 20, 2011, a number of claims and counter claims have been filed with the courts in The Netherlands (collectively, the “Court”) related to discontinued assets and discontinued liabilities and other available remedies. On July 30, 2014, the Court issued a judgment in VASCO’s favor in the DigiNotar case. The Court ruled that the former shareholders of DigiNotar B.V. (the “Sellers”) must pay VASCO €1,400 ($1,776 at an exchange rate of 1.27 U.S. Dollars per Euro) plus accrued interest related to the Sellers’ failure to achieve the earn-out targets established in the purchase agreement. The amount has been previously recorded as contingent consideration due from escrow included in assets of discontinued operations (see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Court also ruled that the Sellers must pay VASCO an additional €2,708 ($3,439 at an exchange rate of 1.27 U. S. Dollars per Euro) plus accrued interest related to the breach of other representations and warranties under the share purchase agreement. The additional amount includes the reimbursement of certain costs incurred by VASCO as a result of such breach.

The judgment may be subject to additional legal proceedings and may be settled for a lesser amount. If VASCO receives funds with respect to this case, funds will first be applied to contingent consideration from escrow and the remainder, if any, recorded as income from discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cashflows from operations and existing cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments. Our combined balance of cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments was $125,910, and increase of 2,596, or 2% from $123,314 at June 30, 2014, and an increase of $27,303, or 28%, from $98,607 at December 31, 2013. Also, at September 30, 2014, we had working capital of $148,172, an increase of $12,970, or 10%, from $135,202 at June 30, 2014 and an increase of $23,633, or 19%, from $124,539 reported at December 31, 2013. The increase in cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments and working capital from December 31, 2013 primarily reflects the benefit from cash flow from operations

As of September 30, 2014, we held $56,822 of cash in banks outside of the United States. Of that amount, $56,391 is not subject to repatriation restrictions, but may be subject to taxes upon repatriation. We have provided $342 of U.S. tax on foreign earnings of $16,377 available for repatriation. We have not provided U.S. tax on unremitted foreign earnings of approximately $75,730 that we consider to be permanently invested.

We believe that our financial resources are adequate to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in applying such process, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

ASU 2014-9 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within such annual periods, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, our management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. For additional information, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who, respectively, are our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, 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 a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in

decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. 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 may not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On January 10, 2011, we purchased our wholly-owned subsidiary, DigiNotar B.V., a private company organized and existing in The Netherlands from the shareholders (“Sellers”). On September 19, 2011, DigiNotar B.V. filed a bankruptcy petition under Article 4 of the Dutch Bankruptcy Act in the Haarlem District Court, The Netherlands. On September 20, 2011, the court declared DigiNotar B.V. bankrupt and appointed a bankruptcy trustee and a bankruptcy judge to manage all affairs of DigiNotar B.V. through the bankruptcy process. The trustee took over management of DigiNotar B.V.’s business activities and is responsible for the administration and liquidation of DigiNotar B.V. In connection with the bankruptcy of DigiNotar B.V., subsequent to September 20, 2011, a number of claims and counter claims have been filed with the courts in The Netherlands (collectively, the “Court”) related to discontinued assets and discontinued liabilities and other available remedies.

On July 30, 2014, the Court issued a judgment in VASCO’s favor in the DigiNotar case. The Court ruled that the Sellers must pay VASCO €1,400 ($1,776 at an exchange rate of 1.27 U.S. Dollars per Euro) plus accrued interest related to the Seller’s failure to achieve the earn-out targets established in the purchase agreement. The amount has been previously recorded as contingent consideration due from escrow included in assets of discontinued operations (see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Court also ruled that the Sellers must pay VASCO an additional €2,708 ($3,439 at an exchange rate of 1.27 U. S. Dollars per Euro) plus accrued interest related to the breach of other representations and warranties under the share purchase agreement. The additional amount includes the reimbursement of certain costs incurred by VASCO as a result of such breach.

The judgment may be subject to additional legal proceedings and may be settled for a lesser amount. If VASCO receives funds with respect to this case, funds will first be applied to contingent consideration from escrow and the remainder, if any, recorded as income from discontinued operations.
