ACTIVIDENTITY CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2008

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2008, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and statements of operations and comprehensive losses and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all 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 the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.

 

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 year ended September 30, 2008.  There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, other than as described below.

 

Fair Value Measurements - The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,  which affected the Company’s accounting for financial assets and liabilities (see Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements).

 

Restricted Cash - Under the terms of a software development contract with a customer, the Company provides a performance guarantee in the form of a financial security agreement that extends through September 30, 2011.  At December 31, 2008, restricted cash, classified as non-current, includes $1.4 million of financial guarantees secured by a term deposit.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of previously reported information have been made to conform to current period presentation.

 

Professional services revenue, and related costs of revenue, that are not essential to the functionality of software have been reclassified from software revenue and combined with maintenance and support revenue to create a new caption of service revenue, and related costs of revenue, on the consolidated statement of operations, effective the quarter ended September 30, 2008. This reclassification had no net effect on gross revenues, gross costs of revenue, or gross profit. For comparative purposes, $1.1 million of revenues and $0.7 million of costs of revenue have been reclassified for the three months ended December 31, 2007, to conform to the revised presentation.

 

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 replaces the different definitions of fair value in the accounting literature with a single definition.  It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on October 1, 2008, for financial assets and liabilities (see Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements).  The Company has elected to adopt SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities on October 1, 2009, in accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying the deferred portion of SFAS No. 157 to the nonrecurring fair value measurements of its nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized

Table of Contents

 

in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs, and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. Statement 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will evaluate the impact the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) and will adopt this standard on October 1, 2009.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will evaluate the impact the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) and will adopt this standard on October 1, 2009.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company will evaluate the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 161 and will adopt this standard on October 1, 2009.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

 

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes specific criteria for the fair value measurements of financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are already subject to fair value measurements under current accounting rules.  SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB approved FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which allows companies to elect a one-year delay in applying SFAS No. 157 to certain fair value measurements, primarily related to nonfinancial instruments.  The Company elected the delayed adoption for the portions of SFAS No. 157 impacted by FSP No. 157-2.  The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 was prospective and did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.  FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, which the Company adopted as of October 1, 2008, in situations where the market is not active.  The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP No. 157-3 in its determination of estimated fair values as of December 31, 2008, and the impact was not material.

 

Concurrently with the adoption of SFAS No. 157, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to elect, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 for any financial assets and liabilities that were not previously measured at fair value.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure 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 SFAS No. 157 are described below:

 

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.

 

7



Table of Contents

 

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 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.  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 other observable inputs include corporate notes and bonds which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Financial instruments valued based on unobservable inputs include auction rate securities (ARS).  Such instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  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 (see Note 4 – Investments for additional discussion).

 

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008, as presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were as follows (in thousands):

During fiscal 2008, the Company reclassified $33.0 million at cost of investments in certain ARS from short-term to long-term investments and 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, 2008. Based on a review of the underlying valuation assumptions for the period ended December 31, 2008, no change in the fair value of long-term ARS was recorded during the period and no settlement activity occurred on the underlying holdings.  At December 31, 2008, the carrying value remains $11.8 million.  Contractual maturity for these investments range from 2025 to 2052 and these investments are presently not liquid. The Company also holds $3.6 million of Closed-end Mutual Fund ARS which remain valued at par and are classified as short term investments. The Company has not reclassified these investments since $12.4 million of ARS, representing formerly held Closed-end Mutual Fund and Taxable Municipal ARS investments, were called at par during the last fifteen months.  Based on this recent evidence of liquidity, the Company continues to classify the remaining $3.6 million Closed-end Mutual Fund ARS investments as short-term. However, future changes in the market regarding these securities may result in reclassifications in future periods.

 

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. The Company’s 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 the Company’s ARS holdings and has resulted in a significant increase in the risks related to the ARS investments classified as long-term.

 

Historically, the fair value of ARS approximated par value due to the frequent auction events. However, failed auctions since August of 2007 have, in most cases, resulted in revised estimates of fair value that are less than par. The Company has reviewed those investments classified as long-term and has valued the holdings accordingly using a discounted cash flow methodology.

 

The Company reviews its impairments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and related guidance issued by the FASB and SEC in order to determine the classification of the impairment as either “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other comprehensive income (loss) section of stockholders equity in the balance sheet. This type of unrealized loss does not affect net income (loss) for the applicable accounting period. However, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded as a realized loss in the consolidated statement of operations. The differentiating factors between temporary and other-than-temporary impairment are primarily the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost and the term of the illiquid position. In addition, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the composition of any underlying assets in the holdings, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time that would allow for a liquidity event to take place are also factors taken into consideration in the Company’s valuation analysis.

 

The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis technique in modeling and valuing these securities. Probabilities of an eventual cleared auction or a par recovery through the issuer refinancing the holding, as well as probabilities of default and potential levels of recovery in default were all taken into consideration as well as the probability of the issuer to continue paying penalty interest payments while the instrument remains in an illiquid condition. These various considerations were applied to each projected cash flow through maturity of each instrument to derive an expected cash flow at each relevant period. This cash flow was then discounted to the present by using a discount rate derived from an evaluation of multiple sources including credit default swap spreads on securities with similar credit ratings as well as overall spreads on corporate debt.

 

While the Company has used what it believes to be an appropriate valuation model for these securities and has fully attempted to incorporate all known and significant risk factors into the analysis, the Company makes many estimates and assumptions when assessing the value of these securities. Accordingly, assumptions regarding expected cash flows, liquidity risk, default risk and related recovery risk, interest rate risk, and other risk factors are all considerations in the analysis and valuation of the Company’s ARS holdings. These estimates are also based on market and economic conditions, which are currently in a state of crisis and heightened uncertainty. As a result, there is much independent judgment required in deriving these valuation conclusions.

 

The Company believes it has made reasonable judgments in its valuation exercise. 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 these securities, or other securities that make up the investment portfolio.

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has several stockholder approved stock option plans under which it grants or has granted options to purchase shares of its common stock to employees. As of December 31, 2008, it had one plan under which it continues to grant awards, the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (2004 Plan). As of December 31, 2008, the Company had an aggregate of 12.6 million shares of its common stock reserved for issuance under various equity plans approved by the stockholders, of which, 9.1 million shares were subject to outstanding awards and 3.5 million shares were available for future grants under the Company’s 2004 Plan.

 

Stock option plans prior to 2002 were established by ActivIdentity Europe S.A. (formerly known as ActivCard Europe S.A. and ActivCard S.A.) under the laws of France. Options granted under these plans vested over four years and have a maximum term of seven years. For these option plans, the Board of Directors established the exercise price as the weighted average closing price quoted on Nasdaq Europe during the twenty trading days prior to the date of grant. The Company has made no grants under the stock options plans established prior to 2002 during any of the periods presented.

 

In August 2002, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2002 Stock Option Plan (2002 Plan) and reserved 8.6 million shares for issuance under the plan. Options granted under the 2002 Plan vest over four years and have a maximum term of 10 years. The Board of Directors establishes the exercise price as the closing price quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant.  In August 2004, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan replaced the 2002 Plan with substantially the same terms as the 2002 Plan. The remaining share reserve from the 2002 Plan was transferred to the 2004 Plan. In addition to stock options, the 2004 Plan allows for the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and cash awards.  In February 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2004 Plan, increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance by 4.0 million shares.

 

For options granted in 2000 and later, the option plans prohibit residents of France employed by the Company from selling their shares prior to the fourth anniversary from the date of grant.

 

Periodically, the Company has issued equity inducement grants as permitted under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules to certain officers under a plan that has not been presented to the Company’s stockholders for approval.  Although the options were granted outside of the 2004 Plan, they are governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of that plan as if granted thereunder.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

 

The Company periodically grants awards of restricted stock, which are issued but subject to vesting requirements, and restricted stock units, which result in the issuance of shares without an exercise price only upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements. Vesting may be time-based, performance-based or a combination of the two.  Compensation expense is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.

Valuation and Expense Information under SFAS 123(R)

 

The Company bases its weighted-average fair value of stock-based compensation to employees generally on the single option valuation approach. Forfeitures are estimated and assumes no dividends will be declared. The Company generally amortizes estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options.  Below are the ranges of assumptions used for new grants during the respective quarters (data excludes assumptions for the revaluation of modified grants of previously issued awards):

In connection with the termination of Yves Audebert, President and Chief of Engineering, on November 14, 2008, the Company accelerated the vesting and extended the period to exercise his unvested options and restricted stock units in accordance with the Severance Agreement and Release, resulting in a modification of previously issued awards.  In accordance with SFAS 123(R), total recognized compensation cost for an equity award shall at least equal the fair value of the award at the grant date unless at the date of the modification the performance or service conditions of the original award are not expected to be satisfied.  As Mr. Audebert’s unvested awards would have been forfeited upon his termination without the modification, the fair value of the awards was re-measured at the modification date using the single option valuation approach with the appropriate assumptions for the modified awards and recognized as stock based compensation expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  All previous stock based compensation expense for unvested awards based on the grant date fair values was reversed during the quarter.  The net expense was not significant for the period.

 

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, warrants, restricted stock, and restricted stock units under SFAS 123(R) for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, which was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated economic or estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Based on a review of events and circumstances at December 31, 2008, no indicators of impairment were identified.  The Company will continue to evaluate its intangible assets when events and changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a potential impairment.

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.

 

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 December 31, 2008 or September 30, 2008.

 

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 December 31, 2008 or September 30, 2008.

ActivIdentity Corporation (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) is a provider of digital identity assurance solutions for the enterprise, government, healthcare, and financial services markets worldwide for employer-to-employee, business-to-customer and government-to-citizen solutions. Trusted identity is the core of the ActivIdentity platform enabling security for data, networks, applications, passwords and credentials, web, email and documents, transactions, and converged security.

 

ActivIdentity® solutions support the convergence of physical and logical identity through strong authentication with smart card lifecycle management, adding enterprise single sign on, and data encryption and digital signature. ActivIdentity solutions include a fully-integrated platform, enabling organizations to issue, manage and use identity devices and credentials for secure access, secure communications, legally binding digital transactions, and intelligent citizen services.

 

Our products enable strong authentication utilizing a range of security methods and devices such as Smart Employee ID, Enterprise SSO, Strong Authentication, Secure Information and Transactions, and Smart Citizen ID. ActivIdentity products include SecureLogin ® SSO, ActivClient™ smart card middleware, ActivID™ Card Management System, 4TRESS™ AAA Server, one-time password (OTP) tokens, soft OTP tokens for mobile phone and personal digital assistants and ActivKey™ USB tokens. These devices enable organizations to address their security, compliance and auditing requirements by confirming identities before granting access to computer systems, networks, applications and physical locations.

 

Our customers experience multiple benefits including increased network security, protection against identity theft and online fraud, enhanced workforce productivity, business process efficiencies, and regulatory compliance.

 

Our Strategy:  In 2008, we experienced significant turnover among members of the Board of Directors and executive officers. As a result of these changes, we essentially have a new Board and management team, and they continue to assess our strategic focus and priorities. In connection with this assessment, the Board is expected to consider a number of potential actions over the next 12 months, including a potential return of capital to stockholders, either through a stock repurchase plan or special dividend, acquisitions or divestitures of assets and product lines to reorganize the Company in line with its strategic focus, and further restructurings of our operations. Any of these actions could significantly affect our operations, financial results, prospects and stock price.

 

Industry Outlook:  We believe the digital identity market is a rapidly emerging global industry, driven by new government regulations, growing awareness of the risks of identity theft, and the growth in electronic commerce. While the industry is still in the early stage of development, industry-wide standards are evolving. A significant element of our business model is premised on the smart card becoming a common access platform for protecting an organization’s assets, including network infrastructures, employees, customers, and confidential data. Issues driving industry growth and standardization are often unique across our target customer base, especially in international locations. We continue to monitor the evolution of the digital identity market and adapt products and services to best position the Company to realize competitive advantage. Additional challenges and risks that our product lines face include, but are not limited to: price and product feature competition, evolving technological change in the network security market, and risk of bugs and other errors in the software.

Financial Performance Indicators:  We have a long and often complicated sales cycle and are dependent on a relatively small number of large deals, which can result in significant revenue fluctuations between periods. The typical sales cycle is six to nine months for an enterprise customer and over twelve months for a network service provider or government agency. As a result, in addition to monitoring financial performance based on reported revenues, management analyzes the probability of future transactions in the open deal pipeline when assessing financial condition and operating performance. Trends in deferred revenues, maintenance renewal contracts, and customer, geographic, or product mix are also integral to management’s decision making process.

 

Strategic Initiatives:  We are currently aligning our business model to shadow customer markets more effectively, focusing product lines on employer-to-employee, government-to-citizen, and business-to-customer strategic initiatives. We are also developing financial performance benchmarks to quantify the financial impacts of the revised strategic alignment and provide additional tools to assist management in assessing our financial condition. Restructuring and related cost cutting plans implemented to date have helped to streamline the Company and management will continue to identify areas for strategic improvement, in both revenue growth and cost containment.

 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the following items impacted our net loss:

 

·                  Severance expense – Continued business realignment in accordance with our revised strategic initiatives resulted in reducing net headcount during the quarter by 15 employees or 6% to 245 at December 31, 2008.  Severance expense for the quarter amounted to $1.5 million.

 

·                  Foreign exchange losses – For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a loss on foreign exchange of $2.3 million through our consolidated statement of operations.  The losses primarily occurred from the revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheets of local entities.  The continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar, specifically against the Australian dollar and British pound, was the driving factor in the recorded losses.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Certain prior periods’ revenue and cost of revenue have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See further discussion of reclassified amounts in Note 1 — Basis of Presentation to the consolidated financial statements.

Our business has varying revenue streams, each of which has different characteristics including its recurring nature, transactional pricing, and volume characteristics. Software revenue is driven by irregularly occurring and unpredictable orders of significant size that are dependent on the closing of the transactions and can result in significant variances period over period. As hardware revenue is generally coincident with the sale of software products, the variability in software revenue is the driving factor in the fluctuations of hardware revenue, although timing of hardware sales may lag the initial sale of related software. Maintenance revenue, the most significant component of service revenue, is tied directly to the installed base of customers, which fluctuates with the ability to attract new customers and the level of renewal activity with existing customers. The timing of closure of software transactions in the pipeline is the single most relevant factor in the Company’s recorded revenue.

Table of Contents

 

Our software revenue is comprised of software license revenue and professional services revenue essential to the functionality of software. The $0.5 million increase, year-over-year, in software revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, was primarily driven by increased professional services revenue on a large software development project for the State of Queensland, Australia for the issuance of smart card driver’s licenses.  Software product revenue remained relatively flat between periods with product mix variances impacted primarily by the timing of deal closures.

 

Hardware revenue is comprised of tokens, readers, smart cards, and related equipment, generally to complement sales of related software products. The $0.6 million increase, year-over-year, in hardware revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, was the result of increased token sales in the Europe and Asia Pacific banking sectors.

 

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 3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, year-over-year, as a larger percentage of total professional service hours billed during the quarter were related to customized software projects and were thus classified as software revenue.

North America revenue increased $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, year-over-year, as a $1.7 million increase in software revenue was offset by a $0.5 million decrease in hardware revenue.  Software revenue increases were driven by the closing of several large client middleware solutions contracts.  Hardware revenue decreased as a significant, non-recurring transaction to sell smart cards to a Canadian telecommunications company occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

 

Europe revenue fell $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, year-over-year, as increased token sales of $0.8 million in the banking sector were offset by decreased software revenue of $1.6 million.  The decrease in software revenue was primarily attributable to the timing of deal closures.

 

Asia Pacific revenue was up significantly year-over-year due primarily to the smart card driver’s license contract in Queensland, Australia and stronger token sales in the banking sector.

Cost of Software Revenue

 

Cost of software revenue includes the cost of professional services associated with customization essential to the functionality of software. The $0.8 million increase, year-over-year, in software cost of revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, was primarily driven by increased professional services costs incurred on a large software development project for the State of Queensland, Australia for the issuance of smart card driver’s licenses.  Margins were adversely impacted as professional services revenue has significantly more direct costs than traditional product software sales.

 

Cost of Hardware Revenue

 

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. Hardware product margins are influenced by numerous factors including hardware product mix, inventory adjustments, pricing, geographic mix and foreign currency exchange rates. Many of these factors influence, or are interrelated with, other factors. As a result, it is difficult to precisely quantify the impact of each item individually to our hardware margins. The majority of our smart card and reader revenue reflects products manufactured for us by original equipment manufacturers that accordingly have lower margins compared to tokens, which are manufactured for us by contract manufacturers and yield higher gross margins.

 

Hardware margins improved for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, year-over-year, due to the increase in token sales which generally have higher margins than readers and smart cards.

 

Cost of Service Revenue

 

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.  Cost of service revenue decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2008, year-over-year, as we revised downward our overhead allocation rates to maintenance and professional services during on our annual budgeting review process.  The lower allocation rates are in line with our cost reduction strategies that are intended to reduce overhead expenses as we realign our business model.  In addition, a greater percentage of total professional service hours were allocated to software cost of revenue as the hours were incurred on the development of customized software projects.  Service margins improved as less overhead expenses were absorbed into cost of revenue based on the revised allocation rates.

 

Amortization of Acquired Developed Technology and Patents

 

Amortization of acquired developed technology and patents includes amortization of technology capitalized in our acquisitions and purchase of certain patents and related intellectual property from third parties.  Current period amortization variances are insignificant and consistent with our scheduled amortization.

 

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.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, costs of components used in research and development activities, travel, depreciation, and allocations of facilities and information technology costs.  Significant research and development expenses are absorbed into service cost of goods sold to reflect sustaining engineering efforts.

 

Research and development expenses were relatively flat over the same quarter in the prior year as reduced compensation costs associated with headcount reductions were offset by increased severance expense.  Additionally, allocation rates used to absorb research and development expenses to costs of revenue on sustaining engineering and other professional services projects were reduced during the quarter as a result of the reduction in allocation rates driven by forecasted cost reductions for overhead costs in fiscal 2009.

General and administration expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for administration, finance, human resources, and legal, as well as professional fees related to legal, audit and accounting, costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, and allocations of facilities and information technology costs.

 

General and administration expenses increased $0.3 million over the same quarter in the prior year primarily as a result of a change in the manner that executive officer and board of directors’ costs of $0.3 million for the quarter were allocated, such that all amounts were allocated to general and administration instead of other cost centers for the period ended December 31, 2008.  Management believes these costs are properly reported as general and administration.

Interest income consists of interest on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments.  Since the quarter ended December 31, 2007, we have transferred a significant portion of our investment portfolio into cash and cash equivalents.  The decrease in interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, year-over-year, was attributable to a migration of the portfolio to lower yielding investments, decreases in market interest rates over the prior year, and the overall reduction in the cash, equivalents, and investments portfolio from the usage of cash in operating activities.

Other income (expense), net, consists of foreign exchange gains and losses, primarily caused by the revaluation of intercompany balances.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, strengthening of the U.S. dollar, specifically against the British pound and Australian dollar, resulted in foreign exchange losses of $2.3 million, primarily on the revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheets of our foreign entities.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The income tax provision in all periods represents taxes payable in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions based on estimates of annualized taxable income.  Income tax provision was approximately $29,000 and $43,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates as we have recorded a 100% valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets and we do not consider the generation of taxable income to realize their benefits to be more likely than not.

 

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 French tax authority is currently examining the fiscal 2005 income tax return.  The Company is currently not the subject of any additional income tax examinations.  In general, the earliest open year subject to examination in a major tax jurisdiction is the year ended December 31, 2003, although depending upon jurisdiction, earlier tax years may remain open subject to limitations.

 

MINORITY INTEREST

 

Minority interest represents the minority interest share in the consolidated net income or loss of ActivIdentity Europe S.A.

Operating Activities

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, our net loss increased $0.6 million, year-over-year.  Adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operations provided additional benefit of $1.4 million, year-over-year, primarily due to an increase in unrealized foreign exchange losses.  Benefits to cash provided by operating activities derived from changes in the balance sheet decreased $0.9 million, year-over-year, primarily related to timing of receipts and payments and movements in the deferred revenue balances.  Net cash provided by operating activities remained relatively unchanged year-over-year.

 

Investing Activities

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities decreased $2.0 million year-over-year as net proceeds from the purchasing and sale of short-term investments decreased $0.7 million and long-term deposits classified as restricted cash used an additional $1.4 million of cash.

Yves Audebert, President and Chief of Engineering, was terminated effective November 14, 2008.  In accordance with the terms of the severance agreement and release, dated December 17, 2008, We paid Mr. Audebert $142,500 severance, equal to six months base salary, $53,438 in satisfaction of his incentive bonus compensation for 2008, and $28,261 of accrued vacation.  As of December 31, 2008, all such payments were made in full.  In addition, vesting was accelerated on outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock units, which represent the right to acquire a total of 326,042 and 36,731 additional shares of common stock, respectively.  The exercise period for vested options was extended until the earlier of eighteen months from the termination date or the contractual termination date of such options.

 

As of December 31, 2008, in accordance with the severance agreement and release between Thomas Jahn, former CEO, and ActivIdentity Corporation dated April 11, 2008, we remained obligated to pay Mr. Jahn $85,000, which amount will be paid in accordance with the agreement through April 15, 2009.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 replaces the different definitions of fair value in the accounting literature with a single definition.  It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  We adopted SFAS No. 157 on October 1, 2008, for financial assets and liabilities.  We have elected to adopt SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities on October 1, 2009, in accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2.  We are currently evaluating the impact of applying the deferred portion of SFAS No. 157 to the nonrecurring fair value measurements of its nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We will evaluate the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) and will adopt this standard on October 1, 2009.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to non-controlling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We will evaluate the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 160 and will adopt this standard on October 1, 2009.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We will evaluate the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 161 and will adopt this standard on October 1, 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 with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., as set forth in 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, SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and EITF 03-05, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software. 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 items.

 

Subject to the additional conditions described below, revenue is not recognized 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 EITF 00-21 if 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) 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 SOP 97-2. If the above criteria are not met, all deliverables are considered a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2 upon delivery of all elements of the arrangement.

 

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 SOP 97-2, 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 is 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 EITF 00-21.

Table of Contents

 

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. Revenues from advance payments for PCS contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

 

Even though delivery of PCS and services has started, if all of the criteria in SOP 97-2 for revenue recognition are not met, PCS and service revenue recognition may not commence. At the time all the criteria in SOP 97-2 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.

 

For arrangements 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 SOP 81-1. The percentage-of-completion method is applied when we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the total effort required for completion using 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 revenues, including both the license and service components, are less than 10% of total net revenues.  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 estimatable.  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. At December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, the balances of unbilled work-in-process on the books were not significant.

 

We have one ongoing reseller arrangement in which we earn a fixed percentage of license and maintenance revenue earned by the reseller from the end-user. For this arrangement, we have no control over the pricing established by the reseller, including what is charged for maintenance renewals. Since we cannot determine if sufficient amounts of PCS renewals are priced at consistent percentages of license fees, we are unable to establish VSOE for maintenance renewals in this arrangement. Accordingly, for the bundled sales of license and maintenance, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance period. For statement of operations presentation purposes only, we allocate revenue for this arrangement between software and PCS in a ratio consistent with our standard end-user pricing model. For the year ended September 30, 2008, $3.5 million or 18% of total software revenue and $4.0 million, or 16% of total service revenue, was allocated for this arrangement.

 

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 SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. SFAS No. 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

 

25



Table of Contents

 

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 December 31, 2008, restricted cash, classified as non-current, includes $1.4 million of financial guarantees secured by a term deposit.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include:

 

·                  Fair Value Measurements

·                  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

·                  Inventory Valuation

·                  Long-Lived Assets

·                  Other Intangible Assets

·                  Goodwill

·                  Restructuring Expense

·                  Hardware Sales Warranty Reserve

·                  Provision for Income Taxes

·                  Stock Based Compensation

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in our consolidated financial condition, revenues or expenses, consolidated results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

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 amounted to a loss of $2.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and a loss of $0.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, as recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2008, of total sales, approximately 72% were invoiced in U.S. dollars.  Although the Company purchases many components in U.S. dollars, approximately half of its expenses are denominated in other currencies, primarily in euros, Australian dollars 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 investment holdings. The rate of return that the Company may be able to obtain on investment securities will depend on market conditions at the time these investments are made and may differ from the rates secured in the past.

 

26



Table of Contents

 

At December 31, 2008, the Company held $72.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $6.8 million in short-term investments, $1.4 million in long-term restricted cash, and $11.7 million in long-term investments for a total of $92.1 million.  Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash, money-market funds, and U.S. Treasuries.  Short-term investments are primarily comprised of corporate notes and bonds and auction rate securities (ARS) associated with Closed-end Mutual Funds.  Long-term restricted cash consists of term deposits.  Long-term investments consist of ARS, associated with Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO), Derivative Product Companies, and Student Loans.  Based on the cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments at December 31, 2008, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease annual interest income and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million.

 

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, corporate notes and bonds, and ARS.

 

See Note 4 — Investments, in Part 1 — Item 1, Consolidated Financial Statements and Liquidity and Capital Resources for a description of recent market events that may effect the value of the investments in our portfolio and the liquidity of certain ARS that we hold as of December 31, 2008.  The Company believes it has made reasonable judgments in its valuation of investments. 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 securities that make up the investment portfolio.

 

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

 

(a) Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

 

The Company’s CEO and CFO evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) during and as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively because the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as discussed below for the year ended September 30, 2008, has not been fully remediated as of the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  In light of the material weakness, the Company performed analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, management believes the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management determined that, pursuant to this definition, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2008, as follows:

 

·                  Revenue Recognition - The Company has controls in place to review significant revenue transactions and ensure revenue accounting is in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.  These controls were not effective during the year ended September 30, 2008, as their operation failed to ensure that all conditions required for revenue recognition were met.  During fiscal 2008, material revenue adjustments were required after the accounting close to properly defer revenue transactions in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies.  In all cases, the adjustments were identified post-close and adjusting entries were recorded prior to issuance of the quarterly or annual reports.

 

27



Table of Contents

 

Since September 30, 2008, management has undertaken further steps to remediate the above identified material weaknesses, including a reorganization of the revenue accounting and order management departments to consolidate related operations under a newly created Director of Sales Management and Analysis. In addition, a new Revenue Recognition Manager with extensive software industry background was hired. During fiscal year 2009, the Company intends to reengineer the order to cash process to streamline data flows and enhance the review and approval process for sales transactions.  While no material revenue adjustments were identified during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the material weakness in internal control identified as of September 30, 2008 will not be considered effectively remediated until management completes its fiscal year 2009 annual internal control assessment.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a—15(f) and 15(d)—15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting, other than those activities described above.

 

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.

 

ITEM 1A:  RISK FACTORS

 

Risk factors as discussed in Part I - Item 1A Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, have not materially changed.  The risks discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that are currently deemed to be insignificant also may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results.

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

 

Re: Yves Audebert and ActivIdentity Corporation

 

I, Yves Audebert (“Executive”) acknowledge that my employment with Activldentity Corporation and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) terminated effective on November 14, 2008 (the “Separation Date”). This Severance Agreement and Release (the “Release”) is in consideration of the commitments made by the parties released hereby, all of which commitments are set forth in this document.

 

Subject to the effectiveness of this Release pursuant to Section 10, the Company agrees for the benefit of Executive:

 

1.             To pay a total of $142,500, equal to six months base salary, which will be paid by wire transfer within three days following the effectiveness of the Release (the “Severance Pay”), as described in Section l0 below.

 

The Company will also:

 

(i)            Pay to the Executive by wire transfer within three days following the effectiveness of the Release an amount equal to $53,437.50 in satisfaction of the Executive’s incentive bonus compensation for the calendar year 2008;

 

(ii)           Pay to the Executive by wire transfer within three days following the effectiveness of the Release an amount equal to $12,056.88 in satisfaction of waiting time penalties incurred for late payment of the Executive’s final wages and accrued vacation;

 

(iii)          if Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and provided that Executive and Executive’s dependents remain eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, the Company shall continue to pay for medical and dental insurance premiums for coverage of Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents to the same extent as if Executive remained employed until the earlier of (x) eighteen (18) months from the Separation Date and (y) the date that Executive first becomes eligible to receive such benefits through a new employer, and the Executive is required to notify ActivIdentity when he becomes eligible to receive such benefits through a new employer; provided, however, that if, during the period of continuation coverage, any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided ceases to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), then an amount equal to each such remaining premium shall thereafter be paid to the Executive as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the continuation coverage period; or if such healthcare benefits are to be provided in whole or in part through a self-funded plan, the benefits of which are not fully-insured by a third-party insurer:

 

1



 

(A) to the greatest extent applicable, such healthcare benefits shall be construed to satisfy the exemption from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B), and

 

(B) to the extent such healthcare benefits do not satisfy such exemption and/or extend beyond the COBRA continuation period, determine, as of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, the amount (the “Section 409A Healthcare Coverage Payment”) equal to (x) the aggregate of the subsidized premiums which would otherwise be paid or reimbursed by the Company in respect of such benefits, minus (y) the value of any benefits provided, or to be provided, to the Executive under subsection (A) above, and pay a lump sum cash payment equal to the Section 409A Healthcare Coverage Payment to the Executive in lieu of such subsidized premiums. In particular, all taxable expense reimbursement payments and in kind benefits provided to the Executive shall be structured in compliance with Code Section 409A and reimbursements shall be paid by the Company to the Executive by no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurs such expenses, and the Executive shall take all actions necessary to claim all such reimbursements on a timely basis to permit the Company to make all such reimbursement payments prior to the end of said period.

 

(iv)          accelerate vesting on Executive’s outstanding unvested stock options and outstanding unvested restricted stock units, which represent the right to acquire a total of 326,042 and 36,731 additional shares of common stock, respectively;

 

(v)           extend the exercise period of Executive’s options granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), so that all such vested options remain exercisable until the earlier of eighteen (18) months from the Separation Date or the date of termination of such options (e.g., 7 years from the grant date);

 

(vi)           within ten (10) days after the date hereof (with the specific date to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion), reimburse Executive for outstanding unpaid business expenses incurred through the Separation Date, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s customary policy; provided, that with respect to any reimbursements or in-kind benefits (including any continued healthcare benefits or any other fringe benefits or reimbursements), such reimbursements or benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including the following: (i) in no event shall such benefits or reimbursements be provided later than the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred or the obligation arose, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during the Executive’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any other taxable year of the Executive, provided that any such expenses shall only be reimbursed once, and (iii) the right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and

 

(vii)         pay Executive within one week following the effectiveness of the Release an amount representing an additional forty eight (48) hours of personal time for the time period that his accrual was capped from 4/15/07 through 11/14/08 and an additional one hundred fifty eight (158.27) hours of vacation time for the time period that the Executive’s accrual was capped from 1/31/08 through 11/14/08, which amount totals $28,261.06;

2.             With the exception of the payment made pursuant to Section 1(ii), which amount shall be paid without withholding and shall be reported on a Form 1099, the Company shall undertake to make deductions, withholdings and tax reports with respect to payments and benefits under this Release to the extent that it reasonably and in good faith determines that it is required to make such deductions, withholdings and tax reports. Payments under this Release shall be in amounts net of any such deductions or withholdings. Nothing in this Release shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.

 

3.             Executive agrees that, upon payment of the amounts set forth in Sections 1(i), (ii) and (vii), the Company shall have paid him any and all salary, other wages and vacation pay he is owed, if any; he acknowledges that no such further payments or amounts are owed or will be owed with the exception of any properly authorized business expenses incurred in reasonable amounts and supported by documentary evidence that have not been reimbursed to Executive as the result of any reimbursement requests submitted to the Company on or before December 15, 2008.

 

4.             Except for the provisions of Section 1 of this Release and in consideration for the payments and benefits described in Section 1, to which the Executive acknowledges the Executive would not otherwise be entitled, the Executive for himself and his heirs, agents, assigns, executors, successors and each of them, voluntarily releases and forever discharges the Company, its affiliated and released entities (including, without limitation, the Company’s parent and subsidiary entities), its and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, its and their respective employee benefit plans and fiduciaries of such plans, and the current and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents of each of the foregoing in their official and personal capacities (collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) generally from all claims, demands, debts, damage and liabilities of every name and nature, known or unknown (“Claims”) that, as of the date when the Executive signs this Release, the Executive ever had, now claims to have or ever claimed to have had against any or all of the Releasees.

 

This Release includes, without limitation, all Claims: relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company and the termination of the Executive’s employment; of wrongful discharge; of breach of contract; of retaliation or discrimination under federal, state or local law, including, but not limited to, Claims of discrimination or retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Claims of disability discrimination or retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Claims of discrimination or retaliation under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; Claims under the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act; Claims under other federal or state statutes; of defamation or other torts; of violation of public policy; for wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, stock, stock options, vacation pay or any other compensation or benefit; and for damages or other remedies of any sort, including, without limitation, compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees.

The Executive acknowledges that he is familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:

 

California Civil Code Section 1542

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

The Executive agrees that he is releasing unknown claims and waiving all rights that he may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California or under any statute or common law principle of similar effect.

 

5.             The Company voluntarily releases and discharges the Executive and his heirs, successors, administrators, representatives and assigns from all claims that it may have against the Executive as the result of his employment or the discontinuance of his employment and that are based upon facts known, or which in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have been known, to the Company’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall release or discharge any Claim by the Company against the Executive, or the right of the Company to bring any action, legal or otherwise, against the Executive as a result of any failure by him to perform his obligations under this Agreement, or as a result of any acts of intentional misconduct or recklessness.

 

The Company acknowledges that it is familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:

The Company agrees that it is releasing unknown claims and waiving all rights that it may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California or under any statute or common law principle of similar effect.

 

6.             Executive agrees that he will not make any written or oral communications that are defamatory of the Company in any respect, including, but not limited to, the Company’s business, technology, products, executives, officers, directors, former executives, consultants or agents. The Company agrees that its directors and officers will not make any written or oral communications that could reasonably be considered to be defamatory of Executive in any respect, including, but not limited to, the Executive’s work ethic, job performance, and skill. The obligations of this Section 6 shall not in any way affect Executive’s obligation or the obligations of the above-referenced persons to testify truthfully in any legal proceeding.

 

7.             The Executive further acknowledges that during his employment, he may have obtained confidential, proprietary and trade secret information, including information relating to the Company’s products, plans, designs and other valuable confidential information. The Executive

agrees not to use or disclose any such confidential information unless required by subpoena or court order, and further agrees to first give the Company written notice of such subpoena or court order with reasonable advance notice to permit the Company to oppose such subpoena or court order if it chooses to do so.

Both the Company and Executive are voluntarily agreeing to this Release. It is agreed that the payments under this Release are not an admission of any liability or obligation.

 

9.             Executive expressly states that he has read this Release and understands all of its terms, that the preceding paragraphs recite the sole consideration for this Release, and that this Release constitutes the entire agreement with respect to any matters referred to in it. This Release supersedes any and all other agreements between Executive and the Company regarding Executive’s employment and the terms of separation. This Release may only be amended in writing signed by Executive and an officer of the Company, and it is executed voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance.

 

10.           Executive has the opportunity to consider this Agreement for twenty-one days before signing it. To accept this Agreement, Executive must return a signed original of this Agreement so that it is received by the undersigned at or before the expiration of this twenty-one day period. If Executive signs this Agreement within less than twenty-one days of the date of its delivery to Executive, Executive acknowledges by signing this Agreement that such decision was entirely voluntary and that Executive had the opportunity to consider this Agreement for the entire twenty-one day period.

 

For the period of seven days from the date when this Agreement becomes fully executed, Executive has the right to revoke this Agreement by written notice to the undersigned. For such a revocation to be effective, it must be delivered so that it is received by the undersigned at or before the expiration of the seven-day revocation period. This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable during the revocation period. This Agreement shall become effective on the first business day following the expiration of the revocation period.
