1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

         ActivCard Corp. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 2002 for the purpose of changing the domicile of the publicly listed company in the ActivCard group of companies, previously ActivCard S.A., from the Republic of France to the United States. ActivCard S.A. was organized as a société anonyme, or limited liability corporation, under the laws of the Republic of France. On January 6, 2003 ActivCard Corp. commenced a registered public exchange offer in which holders of ActivCard S.A. securities were offered one share of ActivCard Corp. common stock for each ActivCard S.A. common share and each ActivCard S.A. American depositary share (“ADS”) duly tendered. The registered exchange offer closed on February 3, 2003 with 24,409,937 common shares and 15,417,729 ADS’s exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of ActivCard Corp. common stock. The exchanged common shares and ADS’s represented 94.8% of the outstanding securities of ActivCard S.A. The common shares and ADS’s of ActivCard S.A. not exchanged have been recorded as a minority interest on the consolidated balance sheet. These consolidated financial statements present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for ActivCard S.A. for those periods preceding the change in domicile.

         The Company develops and markets digital identity solutions that enable customers to securely issue, use and maintain digital identities. The Company’s solutions provide customers with the ability to authenticate a user to a network, a system or an application through a variety of personal devices as well as the ability to manage credentials remotely post-issuance. The Company markets its solutions to governments, enterprises and financial institutions directly and indirectly through system integrators, value-added resellers, original equipment manufacturers and distributors.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position at June 30, 2003, consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the Company’s full fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 or any future periods.

         These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in ActivCard Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

         Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial statement presentation to conform to the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss or shareholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition

         Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of software licenses, hardware and service agreements. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2 and related guidance. Revenues from software license agreements are generally recognized upon shipment, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, no significant obligations remain and collection of the corresponding receivable is probable. In software arrangements that include hardware products, rights to multiple software products, maintenance and/or other services, the Company allocates the total arrangement fee among each deliverable, based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of each element if vendor-specific objective evidence of each element exists. The Company determines vendor specific evidence of fair value of an element based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For an element not yet sold separately, vendor specific evidence of fair value of an element 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 vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, the Company recognizes revenue for the delivered elements based on the residual value method. For arrangements containing multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered and undelivered elements is deferred until vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists or all elements have been delivered. The Company does not include acceptance clauses for its shrink-wrapped software products such as ActivCard Gold or Trinity client software. Acceptance clauses usually give the customer the right to accept or reject the software after the Company has delivered the product. However, the Company has provided certain customers with acceptance clauses for customized or significantly modified software products developed under product development agreements, and on occasion, for hardware products and client/server software products as well. In instances where an acceptance clause exists, the Company does not recognize revenue until the product is formally accepted by the customer in writing or the defined acceptance period has expired.

         Revenue from the sale of hardware is recognized upon shipment of the product, provided that no significant obligation remains and collection of the receivable is considered probable.

         Post-contract customer support is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

         Service revenues include revenues from training, installation, or consulting. The Company enters into agreements with customers that require significant production, modification or customization of software in addition to the provision of services. Where the services are essential to the functionality of the software element of the arrangement, separate accounting for the services is not permitted and contract accounting is applied to both the software and service elements. In these cases, revenue is recognized as the work is performed pursuant to the related contracts and the achievement of related milestones in accordance with the percentage of completion method based on input measures.

         Service revenues are recognized separately from the software element when the services are performed if vendor specific objective evidence of fair value 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.

         The Company normally sells its products to customers with payment terms that are less than 60 days.

         In certain specific and limited circumstances, the Company provides product return and price protection rights to certain distributors and resellers. The Company generally recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to resellers, distributors and other indirect channels, net of estimated returns or estimated future price changes. The Company's policy is to not ship product to a reseller or distributor unless the reseller or distributor has a history of selling the Company's products and the end user is known or has been qualified by the Company. The Company has established a reasonable basis through historical experience for estimating future returns and price changes. Actual returns have not been material to date. Price protection rights typically expire after 30 days and have not been material to date.

         Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled work-in-process is recorded as a receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-based Compensation

         The Company accounts for its employee stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, which provides that no compensation costs be recorded if the exercise price of the options granted is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock as at the date of grant. Accordingly, the Company allocates to deferred stock compensation, the fair value of restricted stock when granted to employees of acquired companies if they remain as employees of the Company subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company amortizes the deferred stock compensation to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, which is three years.

         Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and warrants under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options and warrants was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

         For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options and restricted stock granted is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information follows:

Foreign Currency

         The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of the companies within the ActivCard group of companies use their local currency as their functional currency with the exception of ActivCard Ireland Ltd., which uses the US dollar as its functional currency. For those entities using their non-U.S. dollar currency as their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated into the US dollar at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments arising upon the consolidation of non-U.S. Dollar financial statements are accumulated in shareholders’ equity as a translation adjustment within other comprehensive income.

         Transactions involving a currency other than the functional currency generate a gain or loss from the fluctuation of this currency relative to the functional currency and are recorded in the statement of operations during the respective period. The Company enters into and designates foreign currency forward exchange contracts to establish fair value hedges to mitigate these foreign transaction gains and losses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 require that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than when an entity commits to an exit plan as previously required. SFAS 146 also requires that such a liability be measured at its fair value and subsequent changes to the liability be measured using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate used when the liability was initially recorded. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

         In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21 “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” The EITF concluded that revenue arrangements with multiple elements should be divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement have value to the customer on a standalone basis, if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and as long as there are no rights of return or additional performance guarantees by the Company. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 are applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods commencing after June 15, 2003. Management is currently determining what effect, if any, the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will have on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

         In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 (see Note 12 concerning the reserve for warranty costs). The recognition and measurement provisions apply to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

         In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” The statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 at December 31, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 may have on its financial position or results of operations.

2. Business Combinations and Acquired Intangible Assets

         In January 2002, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa and acquired certain assets from two privately held companies based in South Africa. The underlying assets purchased and liabilities assumed comprised a business and as such, the Company used the purchase method of accounting to allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired. The results of operations of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date.

         In connection with the purchase price allocation for ActivCard South Africa, $68 was charged to earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2002 for acquired in-process research and development. The value assigned to acquired in-process research and development was based on estimated future cash flows over five years and was discounted at a rate of 30%.

         In June 2003, management identified indicators of impairment of the Company’s other acquired intangible assets. These indicators were caused by changes to the Company’s strategic plans that affected the use of acquired developed and core technologies and expected revenues from certain acquired contracts. Asset impairment tests were performed comparing the expected aggregate undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amounts of the acquired intangible assets. Based on the results of these tests, the Company determined that its other acquired intangible assets were impaired. The fair value of these acquired intangible assets was then determined using the discounted cash flow method. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment write-down of $758 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The other intangible assets determined to be impaired consisted of developed and core technology, contracts, and trade names and trademarks.

3. Termination of Non-core Activities

         In June 2003, the Company terminated certain non-core activities that resulted in charges to earnings for asset write-downs of $3,705. The actions taken included: (1) discontinuance of the Company’s biometric hardware product line in favor of reselling similar products manufactured by third parties; (2) termination of a service offering whereby the Company would have hosted PKI digital certificate issuance; and (3) consolidation of overlapping product offerings resulting in the replacement of certain third-party software code. As a result of these decisions, certain assets relating to these non-core activities were impaired. The assets written down were biometric hardware inventories, PKI digital certificate inventories, prepaid software royalties, prepaid software maintenance and software licenses. The charges for the asset write-downs are included in cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

4. Restructuring and Business Realignment Expenses

          2002 Restructuring Plan

          In 2002, the Company commenced restructuring its business to enhance operational efficiency and reduce expenses. This restructuring and business realignment plan included a worldwide reduction in workforce across all functions of 90 employees, a reduction in excess facilities and other direct costs. Of the terminated employees, 36 were employed in sales and marketing, 42 were employed in research and development, 7 were employed in general and administrative, 3 were employed in manufacturing and logistics and 2 were employed in corporate functions. The charge for excess facilities was comprised primarily of future minimum lease payments payable over a nine-year period ending February 2011, net of estimated sublease income of $734. Sublease income was estimated assuming current market lease rates and after estimated vacancy periods. Charges for the reduction in workforce consisted mainly of severance, outplacement and other termination costs.

          2003 Restructuring Plan

          In March 2003, the Company took further measures to restructure its business and reduce its operating costs by implementing a reduction in workforce that resulted in the termination of 14 employees. The reduction in workforce was completed in May 2003 with the termination of two additional employees. Of the terminated employees, 9 were employed in sales and marketing, 6 were employed in research and development and 1 was employed in manufacturing and logistics. Charges for the reduction in workforce consist of severance, outplacement and other termination costs.

          Components of restructuring and business realignment accruals, which are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 were as follows:

5. Discontinued Operations

          On February 15, 2002, the Company executed its plan to dispose of the hosting operations of Authentic8. As a result of this decision, the results of operations of the hosting activities, an impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets and a write-down of fixed assets have been included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit by discounting estimated future cash flows to assess whether there was impairment in the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangibles. The assets and liabilities related to the hosting operations have been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002.

          On February 12, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with VeriSign for the disposition of the assets and certain liabilities of the hosting operations of Authentic8. The results of operations of the hosting activities to March 14, 2003, the effective date of the agreement with VeriSign, have been included in the loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

8.    Derivative Financial Instruments

        Foreign exchange gains and losses reported on the consolidated statements of operations resulted from the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency into the functional currency of the legal entity that held the asset and/or liability. The Company utilizes a foreign exchange hedging program to mitigate transaction gains and losses resulting from such exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities held by ActivCard companies that were denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the legal entity holding the related asset or liability. To achieve this objective, the Company regularly enters into various short-term foreign currency forward contracts that the Company accounts for as fair value hedging instruments to offset these foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.

       Foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to fair value hedging instruments reduce the foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, foreign exchange losses from the fair value hedges were $135, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002, foreign exchange gains from the fair value hedges were $378.

        In May 2003, the Company implemented a foreign exchange hedging program to mitigate the short-term variability in operating and cash flow results attributable to exchange rate fluctuations on expenditure streams denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. To achieve this objective, the Company has entered into various short-term foreign currency forward contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges. For each cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contract is recorded in other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet until the hedged expenditure affects earnings at which time the effective portion is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is charged to earnings each period.

        At June 30, 2003, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet was not material. Ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges had no impact on earnings in the three or six months ended June 30, 2003.

We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

         The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

         ActivCard Corp. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 2002 for the purpose of changing the domicile of the publicly listed company in the ActivCard group of companies, previously ActivCard S.A., from the Republic of France to the United States. ActivCard S.A. was organized in 1988 as a société anonyme, or limited liability corporation, under the laws of the Republic of France. On January 6, 2003 ActivCard Corp. commenced a registered public exchange offer in which holders of ActivCard S.A. securities were offered one share of ActivCard Corp. common stock for each ActivCard S.A. common share and each ActivCard S.A. American depositary share (“ADS”) duly tendered. The registered exchange offer closed on February 3, 2003 with 24,409,937 common shares and 15,417,729 ADS’s exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of ActivCard Corp. common stock. The exchanged common shares and ADS’s represented 94.8% of the outstanding securities of ActivCard S.A. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “ActivCard”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the consolidated group of ActivCard companies.

        On June 9, 2003 we commenced a follow-on registered exchange offer to acquire the minority interest in ActivCard S.A. not owned by ActivCard Corp. In the follow-on exchange offer, we exchanged 0.95 shares of ActivCard Corp. common stock for each ActivCard S.A. Common share and American depositary share (“ADS”) duly tendered. The follow-on exchange offer closed on July 17, 2003 with 1,808,075 shares of ActivCard Corp. common stock issued in exchange for 1,157,689 common shares and 745,603 ADS’s of ActivCard S.A. tendered. The total of exchanged common shares and ADS’s in the February exchange offer, combined with those in the offer that closed in February 2003, represents approximately 99.4% of the outstanding securities of ActivCard S.A. We will account for the common shares and ADS’s of ActivCard S.A. acquired in the follow-on exchange offer using the purchase method of accounting. The common shares and ADS’s of ActivCard S.A. not exchanged will continue to be recorded as a minority interest on the consolidated balance sheet.

         We develop, market and support digital identity solutions that enable our customers to issue, use and maintain digital identities in a secure, manageable and reliable manner. We market our solutions to the government, financial institutions, network service providers and enterprise customers directly through our own sales organization and indirectly through system integrators, resellers and original equipment manufacturers.

         We focus our development efforts on smart card related products, primarily in the form of software applications embedded on the smart card and client/server software to support multi-function capabilities including card issuance, provisioning and management of digital identities. In the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 38%, 56%, 45% and 51%, respectively, of revenues were derived from smart card related software, primarily from ActivCard Gold, ActivPack authentication server and license fees from product development agreements for the ActivCard Identity Management System and ActivCard Java Card Applets, respectively.

Critical accounting policies

         The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, sales warranties and allowance for doubtful accounts, long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

         We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue recognition

         We derive our revenue primarily from:
   
The license of client and/or server software products, such as ActivCard Gold and Trinity secure sign-on software, ActivPack authentication server software, ActivCard Identity Management Systems and ActivCard Java Card Applets;
   
Software support and maintenance contracts;
   
Hardware products such as ActivCard Token, ActivReader and other smart card readers; and
   
License fees from product development agreements for customized and significantly modified software products.

         Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any reporting period.

         For all sales, we use a binding contract, purchase order or other form of documented agreement to evidence an arrangement with a customer. We do not include acceptance clauses for our shrink-wrapped software products such as ActivCard Gold. Acceptance clauses usually give the customer the right to accept or reject the software after we have shipped the product. However, we have provided certain customers with acceptance clauses for customized or significantly modified software products developed under product development agreements and, on occasion, for hardware products and client/server software products as well. In instances where an acceptance clause exists, we do not recognize revenues until the product is formally accepted by the customer in writing or the defined acceptance period has expired.

         Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of software licenses, hardware and service agreements. We apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2 and related guidance. Revenues from software license agreements are generally recognized upon shipment, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, no significant obligations remain and collection of the corresponding receivable is probable. In software arrangements that include hardware products, rights to multiple software products, maintenance and/or other services, we allocate the total arrangement fee among each deliverable, based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value of each element if vendor-specific objective evidence of each element exists. We determine vendor specific evidence of fair value of an element based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For an element not yet sold separately, vendor specific evidence of fair value of an element 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 vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements based on the residual value method. For arrangements containing multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered and undelivered elements is deferred until vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists or all elements have been delivered.

         Revenue from the sale of hardware products, such as ActivCard tokens and ActivReader, is recognized upon shipment of the product, provided that no significant obligation remains and collection of the receivable is considered probable.

         Post-contract customer support is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

         Service revenues include revenues from training, installation or consulting. From time to time, we enter into agreements with customers that require significant production, modification or customization of software in addition to the

provision of services. Where the services are essential to the functionality of the software element of the arrangement, separate accounting for the services is not permitted and contract accounting is applied to both the software and service elements. In these cases, revenue is recognized as the work is performed pursuant to the related contracts and the achievement of related milestones in accordance with the percentage of completion method based on input measures.

         Service revenues are recognized separately from the software element when the services are performed if vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value 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.

         We normally sell our products to customers with payment terms that are less than 60 days.

         In certain specific and limited circumstances, we provide product return and price protection rights to certain distributors, resellers and end users. We generally recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment to resellers, distributors and other indirect channels, net of estimated returns or estimated future price changes. Our policy is to not ship product to a reseller or distributor unless the reseller or distributor has a history of selling our products and the end user is known or has been qualified by us. We have established a reasonable basis through historical experience for estimating future returns and price changes. Actual returns have not been material to date. Price protection rights typically expire after 30 days and have not been material to date.

         Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. Unbilled work-in-process is recorded as a receivable.

Sales warranties

         Expenses associated with potential warranty claims are accrued at the time of sale, based on warranty terms and prior experience. We provide for the costs of warranty in excess of warranty coverage provided to us by the product assembly contractors. Our standard warranty period is ninety days for software products and one year for hardware products.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

         We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to pay outstanding amounts. The provision is based on factors that include account aging, historical bad debt experience, customer creditworthiness and other known factors.

Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out method. Write-downs for slow-moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and current product demand.

Purchase price allocations

         In 2001, we completed the acquisition of three companies, all of which were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In January 2002, we established a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa and acquired certain assets from two privately held companies based in South Africa. We allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of purchase based on their fair values. In order to determine fair values, we had to make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and make estimates based on other factors. In certain cases, an allocation was made to acquired in process research and development, which was charged to operations, as the research and development did not have alternative future uses as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of purchase price among long-lived assets, which are depreciated, in-process research and development, which is expensed at the time of acquisition and goodwill, which is not amortized starting January 1, 2002, but evaluated periodically for impairment, has a significant impact on both current and future operating results.

Valuation of goodwill, long-lived and other intangible assets

         In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill, long-lived and other intangible assets, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges against these assets in the reporting period in which the impairment is determined. For identifiable long-lived assets, this evaluation includes an analysis of estimated expected future undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by the assets over their estimated useful lives. If the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets over their

19


Table of Contents

estimated useful lives, we record an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. Fair value for identifiable long-lived assets is generally determined based on discounted cash flows.

         On February 15, 2002, as a result of changes in strategic plans, we executed a plan to dispose of the hosting operations of Authentic8 International. As a result of the changed circumstances, the estimates and assumptions for future cash flows from the hosting operation declined indicating that impairment in the value of the related assets existed. Accordingly, we recorded a charge to earnings in the amount of $15.6 million in 2002, which included an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles of $15.0 million.

         Under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we recorded an impairment write-down of $758 thousand in the second quarter of 2003 and $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 to adjust the carrying value of acquired intangible assets to their estimated fair value as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The acquired intangible assets determined to be impaired consisted of developed and core technology, agreements, contracts, and trade names and trademarks.

         In the second quarter of 2003, we terminated certain non-core activities including our biometric hardware product line, a service offering whereby we would have hosted PKI digital certificate issuance, and overlapping product offerings. As a result of these actions taken, the estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows from the assets relating to these non-core activities declined indicating impairment in value of the related assets. Accordingly, we recorded a charge to earnings of $3.7 million, which included impairment in value of software licenses included in property and equipment of $1.7 million. The other assets written down were biometric hardware inventories, PKI digital certificate inventories, prepaid software royalties and prepaid software maintenance.

         In the future, any additional impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. At June 30, 2003, we had $11.8 million of goodwill and other intangible assets, which accounted for 4% of our total assets.

Restructuring activities

         We recorded charges of $0.3 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and $1.3 million and $7.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These charges related to restructuring and business realignment plans. The plan executed in the first six months of 2003 was a reduction in workforce consisting primarily of severance, outplacement and other costs. The plan announced in the first quarter of 2002 consisted primarily of a reduction in work force and facility vacancy costs. Accounting pronouncements in effect for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002 required us to record a liability and charge when the liability was incurred rather than when we formally committed to the restructuring plan as previously required. These new provisions required us to measure the liability at fair value. Accounting pronouncements for restructuring costs in effect during 2002 required us to record provisions and charges when we had a formal and committed plan. In the first quarter of 2002, we were required to make significant estimates related to the subletting of facilities in Fremont, California and Melbourne, Australia. Estimates related to sublease income are based on assumptions regarding expected vacancy periods required to locate and contract with suitable sublessees and current sublease market rates. In December 2002, we revised our estimate of expected sublease income and recorded an additional charge to earnings of $620 thousand. If the assumptions for these estimates change in the future due to changes in the market, the ultimate restructuring expenses for these facilities could vary by material amounts. Our policies, as supported by current authoritative guidance, require us to continually evaluate the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under our restructuring initiatives. As management continues to evaluate the business, there may be additional charges for new restructuring activities, as well as changes in estimates to amounts previously recorded.

Acquisitions

         In 2001, we acquired three companies, all of which were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In January 2002, we established a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa and acquired certain assets from two privately held companies based in South Africa. The underlying assets purchased and liabilities assumed comprised a business and as such, we used the purchase method of accounting to allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in our consolidated statement of operations from their respective acquisition dates.

         ActivCard Asia Pte. Ltd.

         On March 26, 2001, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in ActivCard Asia Pte. Ltd. (“ActivCard Asia”) for $111 thousand. ActivCard Asia is now a wholly owned subsidiary.

         Safe Data System S.A.

         On June 27, 2001, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Safe Data System S.A. (“Safe Data”), a privately held developer of user authentication software based in Montpellier, France. We acquired Safe Data to replace its existing authentication server as well as to augment its engineering resources and customer base.

         Authentic8 International Inc.

On April 10, 2001, we mutually agreed to terminate an initial agreement to combine with Authentic8 International Inc. (“Authentic8“), a privately held, Australian-based company offering an outsourced remote access authentication service for banks and service operators. In connection with this, we recorded a charge against earnings in the amount of $3.1 million, which consisted of $2.0 million in professional fees and $1.1 million in break-up fees. Subsequently, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Authentic8 on September 7, 2001. We acquired Authentic8 to augment our technology and customer base as well as to acquire a managed authentication service model and obtain expertise associated with outsourcing a service.

         American Biometric Company Ltd. (Ankari)

         On November 13, 2001, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of American Biometric Company Ltd. (“Ankari”), a privately held company based in Ottawa, Canada. Ankari’s software framework provides organizations with the ability to verify network user access through the use of any combination of passwords, digital certificates, security tokens, smart cards and biometrics. We acquired Ankari to augment our technology, customer base and engineering resources.

         ActivCard South Africa (Newshelf 650 Pty. Ltd)

         In January 2002, we acquired certain assets from two privately held companies based in South Africa. The underlying assets purchased and liabilities assumed comprised a business that develops and markets biometric authentication systems and related software development kits. We acquired the assets to augment our technology and to establish a sales presence in South Africa.

         The increase in hardware revenues of 18% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 54% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods one year ago reflected increased demand for smart card readers from U.S. government agencies and North American corporate enterprises and for our token-based products from European financial institutions. The decrease in software and maintenance revenues of 14% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 was the result of decreased unit sales of our ActivCard Gold client software products for maturing smart card based digital identification deployments by the U.S. Department of Defense agencies. The increase in software and maintenance revenues of 11% in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 was achieved primarily in the United States with expanded deployments of smart card based digital identification by the U.S. Department of Defense.

         The increase in revenues in North America of 2% and 3% and the Government segment of 2% and 7% in the first three and six months of 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods one year ago, were the result of expanding deployments of smart card readers by the U.S. Department of Defense and new deployments of smart card based digital identification by U.S. Government civilian agencies. The increase in revenues from the Corporate segment of 4% and 7% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, relative to the comparable periods in the prior year, were the result of increased sales of smart card client software and related smart card readers to enterprises for internal deployments.

         Revenues in North America consisted primarily of ActivCard Gold and Trinity client software and related smart card readers and ActivCard Identity Management System sales sold indirectly through various system integrators into U.S. government agencies. European revenues were primarily related to ActivCard Token and ActivPack authentication server sales into European financial institutions for commercial and internal applications.

         Gross margin totaled $735 thousand and $6.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively and $8.6 million and $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

         Total gross margin decreased 62% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 and 31% in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002. The decrease in gross margin in the respective periods is attributable primarily to management’s decision in June 2003 to terminate certain non-core activities that resulted in charges to cost of sales for asset write-downs of $3,705. The actions taken included: (1) discontinuance of our biometric hardware product line in favor of reselling similar products manufactured by third parties; (2) termination of a service offering whereby we would have hosted PKI digital certificate issuance; and (3) consolidation of overlapping product offerings resulting in the replacement of certain third-party software code. As a result of these decisions, certain assets relating to these non-core activities were impaired. The assets written down were biometric hardware inventories, PKI digital certificate inventories, prepaid software royalties, prepaid software maintenance and software licenses. The charges for the asset write-downs are included in cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

         Research and development expenses decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 and 11% in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 pursuant to our restructuring and business realignment activities executed during 2002 that included the reductions in headcount and relocation of certain development activities to lower cost locations.

         In connection with the purchase of certain assets from two privately held companies based in South Africa in January 2002, the portion of the purchase price that was attributed to research and development assets was as follows (in thousands):

 Developed and core technology     $ 182  
Acquired in process research and development       68  

 Acquired research and development assets     $ 250  

         The values attributed to acquired in-process research and development assets were based on discounted estimated future cash flows on a project-by-project basis over periods ranging over four years for developed technologies and five years for core technologies and in process research and development. The discount rates used ranged from 20% to 25% for developed and core technology and 30% for in process research and development.

         The nature of the research and development assets purchased from the two privately held South African companies related to biometric authentication systems and related software development kits. An initial limited version of the biometric authentication system allows developers and solution providers to offer enhanced fingerprint authentication. At the time of asset purchase, the product was released to a limited and controlled group of customers. The full-featured product was released to the general marketplace in April 2002 and generated revenues starting in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. No material additional development is planned. The cost to complete the development work was less than $25 thousand and related to completion of functionality and features.

Table of Contents

         In June 2003, management identified indicators of impairment of the remaining acquired intangible assets. These indicators included changes to the Company’s strategic plans that affected the use of acquired developed and core technologies and expected revenues from certain acquired contracts. Asset impairment tests were performed comparing the expected aggregate undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amounts of the acquired intangible assets. Based on the results of these tests, we determined that our acquired intangible assets were impaired. The fair value of these acquired intangible assets was then determined using the discounted cash flow method. As a result, we recorded an impairment write-down of $758 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The other intangible assets determined to be impaired consisted of developed and core technology, contracts, and trade names and trademarks.

         Amortization of deferred stock compensation relates to amortization of shares issued to certain employees of Safe Data who remained as employees of ActivCard, as well as amortization of deferred stock compensation related to options and warrants granted at exercise prices that were less than the fair value of our share price on the date of grant. The amount of deferred stock compensation of $1.9 million on June 30, 2003 will be amortized over the remaining vesting period on a straight-line basis through October 2005.

         In 2002, we commenced consolidation of certain operations in order to enhance operational efficiency and reduce expenses and recorded restructuring and business realignment costs of $8.6 million of which $7.6 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Restructuring and business realignment expenses consist of severance and other costs associated with the reduction of employee headcount of $2.6 million, facility exit costs of $6.0 million, consisting primarily of approximately nine years of minimum lease payments due under certain excess facilities lease agreements, net of estimated sublease revenue. The severance costs were for 90 employees, of which 36 were employed in sales and marketing, 42 were employed in research and development, 7 were employed in general and administrative activities, 3 were employed in manufacturing and logistics and 2 were employed in corporate functions.

         In March 2003 we took further measures to restructure our business and reduce our operating costs by implementing a reduction in workforce that resulted in the termination of 16 employees. Of the terminated employees, 9 were employed in sales and marketing, 6 were employed in research and development and 1 was employed in manufacturing and logistics. Charges for the reduction in workforce were $345 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and consisted of severance, outplacement and other termination costs.

         Remaining cash expenditures of $4.7 million to complete the facility exit activities will be made over the eight-year period ending February 2011. We expect to make remaining cash payments of $375 thousand to complete the work force reduction by December 31, 2003.

         In the first six months of 2003, we incurred charges of $1.1 million related to the change in domicile of the publicly listed company in the ActivCard group from the Republic of France to the United States, which was completed in February 2003. The charges consisted primarily of share cancellation expenses and professional fees associated with the regulatory filings prepared in connection with the exchange offer and filed with the SEC and the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission. Total charges incurred to June 30, 2003 to complete the change in domicile were $2.0 million.

Liquidity and capital resources

         As of June 30, 2003 we had cash and equivalents and short-term investments of $245.8 million, a decrease of $2.6 million from $248.4 million at December 31, 2002. In the first six months of 2003, we consumed $5.6 million of cash from continuing operations primarily due to a loss from continuing operations in the period of $14.5 million offset by collections of outstanding accounts receivable of $4.7 million and non-cash write-downs of long-lived and acquired intangible assets of $2.4 million. We consumed $9.6 million of cash from continuing operations in the first six months of 2002 primarily from a net loss from continuing operations of $17.0 million offset by an increase in restructuring and business realignment accruals of $5.0 million.

         Accounts receivable, net of allowances, decreased to $4.7 million as of June 30, 2003 from $9.2 million as of December 31, 2002. Days sales outstanding, which is a measure of the average collection period of trade accounts receivable, decreased to 44 days at June 30, 2003 from 69 days as of December 31, 2002. The decline in days sales outstanding was the result of improved linearity of monthly shipments in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the fourth quarter of 2002 resulting in proportionately lower shipments in the last month of the quarter. The credit terms extended to our customers are typically less than 60 days, which has not changed during the periods presented.

         Investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003 consisted primarily of investments in short-term securities and capital expenditures. Purchases of short-term investments, net of proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, totaled $39.4 million in the first six months of 2003, as we invested excess cash and equivalents in U.S. government and government agency securities. In the first six months of 2002 we also acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of two privately held companies based in South Africa totaling $1.2 million including acquisition costs and recovered $1.8 million from closing balance sheet adjustments from the purchase of Safe Data and Authentic8. Capital expenditures of $0.6 million and $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, consisted of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, computers and lab equipment.

         Financing activities of $3.4 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common shares resulting from the exercise of stock options.

         At June 30, 2003, we had $4.1 million of long term restructuring accruals compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2002. Long-term restructuring accruals represent remaining cash expenditures to complete the facility exit activities and will be paid over the eight-year period ending February 2011. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, we had $622 thousand and $525 thousand, respectively, of other long-term liabilities consisting primarily of deferred rent.

         Our future capital requirements, the timing and amount of expenditures, and the adequacy of funds available to us will depend on our success in developing and selling new and existing products. Based on our current plans, we believe that existing cash balances will be adequate to satisfy our capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

         We intend to pursue business acquisition opportunities that provide business, products, technologies or even sales channels that are complementary to our business.

Recent accounting pronouncements

         In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 require that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than when an entity commits to an exit plan as previously required. SFAS 146 also requires that such a liability be measured at its fair value and subsequent changes to the liability be measured using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate used when the liability was initially recorded. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

         In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21 “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. The EITF concluded that revenue arrangements with multiple elements should be divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement have value to the customer on a standalone basis, if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and as long as there are no rights of return or additional performance guarantees by the Company. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 are applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods commencing after June 15, 2003. We are currently determining what effect, if any, the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will have on our operating results or financial condition.

         In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.

         In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” The statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 at December 31, 2002. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 may have on our financial position or results of operations.

Risk Related to Our Business

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

         We have not achieved profitability on an operating basis and we may continue to incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. In the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we incurred losses from continuing operations of $10.2 million, $4.3 million, $14.5 million and $17.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2003, our accumulated deficit was $124.4 million, which represents our net losses since we began our operations. Even with our sizable cash balances, we may not become profitable or be able to significantly increase our revenue.

        We will need to achieve significant incremental revenue growth to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. It is possible that our revenues will grow more slowly than we anticipate or that operating expenses will exceed our expectations.

Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change and we must continually improve our products to remain competitive.

         The market for network security products is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. If we do not continually modify and adapt our products and improve the performance features and reliability of our products in response to advances and changes in technology and standards, our business could be adversely affected and our products and technology could become obsolete or less marketable. Moreover, if new Internet, networking or telecommunications technologies or standards become widely adopted, or if other technological changes occur, we may need to adapt our products. Our future operating results will depend upon our ability, on a timely basis, to enhance our current products and to

28


Table of Contents

develop and introduce new products that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of the marketplace and that keep pace with technological developments, new competitive product offerings and emerging industry standards. The process of developing our products and services is extremely complex and requires significant ongoing development efforts.

Results vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and it is difficult to forecast future results.

         Our operating results are difficult to forecast and may continue to fluctuate. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful. Factors that influence our operating results include:

Changes in customer capital spending budgets;
   
Significant advances in techniques for attacking cryptographic systems;
   
Publicity regarding the successful circumvention of security features of products similar to our products;
   
Government regulation limiting the use, scope and strength of the cryptography used in our products;
   
The size, timing and delivery requirements of individual product orders and related services;
   
Market acceptance of our new digital identity management products;
   
Customer order deferrals in anticipation of new product releases or changes in customer deployment plans;
   
The lack of a significant order backlog;
   
The lengthy sales cycle of our products due to the complexity of the products and services composition and the challenges in assessing customer environments and interoperability requirements;
   
The ability to source third party hardware and software products for inclusion into final product mix;
   
The ability to obtain acceptance of orders due to changes in customer environment or services delivery;
   
The level of product and price competition;
   
Our ability to develop new and enhanced products and control costs;
   
The mix of products, goods and services sold;
   
The mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold;
   
Our ability to integrate the technology and operations of acquired businesses; and
   
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

         Our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations of future revenues and if such expectations are not met, our operating results will be adversely affected. Further, net income (loss) may be disproportionately affected by a reduction in revenues because of the relatively small amount of our expenses that vary with our revenues.

We experience seasonal fluctuations in sales and, as a result, our revenues may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

         As a significant portion of our operating expenses are fixed, a small variation in the timing of recognition of revenue can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. As with many companies that have a substantial presence in Europe, the third quarter has typically been a challenging quarter due to the traditional slowdown of economic activity throughout Europe in the summer months. If, as anticipated, our revenues reflect an increasing proportion of software licenses in the future, we may experience another form of seasonality typical of other software companies. Software customers have a tendency to delay purchases until the fourth quarter as driven by an annual budgetary phenomenon. This typically causes first quarter revenues to be lower than the previous fourth quarter revenues. In recent years, we have experienced a proportional increase in revenues from the U.S. federal government whose budgetary year ends September 30.

29


Table of Contents

Other companies that derive a significant proportion of their revenues from the U.S. federal government often experience lower fourth quarter revenues than third quarter revenues due to the annual budgetary process. Although we have not experienced such seasonality in the past, we may in the future if our US federal government revenues continue to increase.

         In addition, a significant percentage of our quarterly revenues occur during the last weeks of the quarter. This has reduced the visibility of our quarterly operating results and increased the risk that revenues expected in a quarter will not be realized until future quarters.

Our operating margins may decline in future periods as we make significant expenditures necessary to remain competitive.

         Depending on market conditions, market opportunities, actual revenues achieved and the competitive landscape, we may increase our investment in research and development and, to a lesser extent, sales and marketing organizations. In addition, we may make additional investments in our general and administrative infrastructure. As a result, operating margins may decrease from historical levels. The amount and timing of these additional expenditures are likely to result in fluctuations in operating margins. Any material reduction in gross or operating margins could materially adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we could receive limited returns on the investments we have made in resources to develop and market new products if we are not successful introducing new products or if these new products are not accepted in the marketplace.

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

         Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of our digital identity systems and products. We anticipate that substantially all of the growth in our revenue, if any, will also be derived from these sources. If for any reason our sale of these products is impeded, and we have not diversified our product offerings, our business and results from operations could be harmed.

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

         Historically, we have experienced a concentration of revenues through certain of our channel partners to customers. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, there was a high concentration of revenues through a number of system integrators to the US Department of Defense. Many of our contracts with our significant channel partners are short-term. If any of these channel partners did not renew their contract upon expiration, or if there was a substantial reduction in sales to any of our significant customers, it could adversely affect our business and operating results.

         In the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 three customers combined accounted for 48% and 58% of revenues, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 two customers combined accounted for 25% and 26% of revenues, respectively. Our customers consist primarily of system integrators, resellers, distributors and OEMs. We ship product to the US Department of Defense exclusively through system integrators. In the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, we shipped product to many departments within the US Department of Defense through system integrators such as Northrop Grumman. However, our subcontract agreement with Northrop Grumman expired in July 2003.

         In the aggregate, the US Department of Defense, as an end-user, accounted for approximately 50% of our consolidated revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 40% of our consolidated revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Three end-users, representing departments within the US Department of Defense, each accounted for 10% of consolidated revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2003, while one end-user within the US Department of Defense accounted for 10% of consolidated revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2002. We expect to continue to depend upon a small number of large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue.

We have a long and often complicated sales cycle for individual orders, which can result in significant revenue fluctuations from quarter to quarter.

         The sales cycle for our products, which is the period of time between the identification of a potential customer and completion of the sale, is typically long and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little control. As our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, a small fluctuation in the timing of sales can cause our operating results to vary significantly from period to period. If revenue falls significantly below anticipated levels, our business would be seriously harmed.

30


Table of Contents

         A typical sales cycle is often six to nine months in the case of an enterprise customer, and more than twelve months in the case of a network service provider customer or government entity.

         Purchasing decisions for our products and systems may be subject to delay due to many factors that are not within our control, such as:

The time required for a prospective customer to recognize the need for our products;
   
The time and complexity for us to assess and determine a prospective customer’s IT environment;
   
The significant expense of digital identity products and network systems;
   
The customer’s requirement for customized features and functionalities;
   
The customer’s internal budgeting process; and
   
Internal procedures a customer may require for the approval of large purchases.

         Furthermore, the implementation process is subject to delays resulting from network administrative concerns associated with incorporating new technologies into existing networks, deployment of a new network system or preservation of existing network infrastructure and data migration to the new system. Full deployment of our technology and products for such networks, servers or other host systems is usually scheduled to occur over a two-to-three-year period and the licensing of digital identity systems and products, including client and server software, smart cards, readers, tokens and the recognition of maintenance revenues would also occur over this period.

The market for our products is still developing and if the industry adopts standards or a platform different from our platform, then our competitive position would be negatively affected.

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

         We believe that smart cards are an emerging platform for providing digital identity for network applications and services. Our business model is premised on the smart card becoming a common access platform for network computing in the future. Further, we have focused on developing our products for particular operating systems related to smart card deployment and use. Should platforms other than the smart card emerge as a preferred platform or should operating systems other than the specific systems we have focused on emerge as preferred operating systems, our current product offerings could be at a disadvantage to competitors who have been focusing on alternative platforms and operating systems. If this were to occur, our future growth and operating results could suffer.

         In addition, the digital identity market lacks industry-wide standards. While we are actively engaged in discussions with industry peers to define what standards should be, it is possible that any standards eventually adopted could prove disadvantageous to or incompatible with our business model and product lines.

The nature of our bidding process and competitive pressures may, in the future, force us to sell products at a loss.

         We engage in competitive bidding practices for some of our contracts that in the future could result in our costs exceeding our revenues for some contracts. We generate a portion of our revenue from contracts and purchase orders awarded through competitive bidding processes. Our bids will not always be accepted or, if accepted, awarded contracts may not generate enough revenue to be profitable. The competitive bidding process is typically lengthy and often results in the expenditure of financial, engineering and other resources early in the process and also in connection with bids that are not accepted. Additionally, inherent in the competitive bidding process is the risk that our costs may exceed projected costs upon which a submitted bid or contract price is based.

We may be adversely affected by operating in international markets.

         Our international operations subject us to risks associated with operating in foreign markets, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our results from operations and financial condition. International sales are a substantial portion of our business. A severe economic decline in one of our major foreign markets could make it difficult for customers from those countries to pay us on a timely basis. Any such failure to pay, or deferral of payment, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, markets outside of North America accounted for 36% and 39% of consolidated revenues, respectively.

31


Table of Contents

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

Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
   
Potentially adverse tax consequences;
   
Export controls relating to encryption technology;
   
Tariffs and other trade barriers;
   
Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
   
Changing economic or political conditions;
   
Exposures to different legal standards;
   
Burdens of complying with a variety of laws and legal systems;
   
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and
   
Seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe as well as other parts of the world.

         While we prepare our financial statements in U.S. dollars, we have historically incurred a substantial portion of our expenses in Euros and prior to the Euro, French francs. We expect that a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be incurred in Euros and, to a lesser extent, in other non-U.S. foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the value of the Euro and other currencies relative to the US dollar have caused and will continue to cause dollar-translated amounts to vary from one period to another. Due to the constantly changing currency exposures and the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results.

Our cost reduction initiatives may adversely affect the morale and performance of our personnel and our ability to hire new personnel.

         In connection with our effort to streamline operations, reduce costs and bring our staffing and structure in line with industry standards, we restructured our organization in 2002 and the first quarter of 2003, with substantial reductions in our workforce. There have been and may continue to be substantial costs associated with the workforce reductions, including severance and other employee–related costs, and our restructuring plan may yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond our planned reduction in workforce. As a result of these reductions, our ability to respond to unexpected challenges may be impaired and we may be unable to take advantage of new opportunities. In addition, many of the employees who were terminated possessed specific knowledge or expertise that may prove to have been important to our operations. In that case, their absence may create significant difficulties. This personnel reduction may also subject us to the risk of litigation, which may adversely impact our ability to conduct our operations and may cause us to incur significant expense.

Our ability to remain competitive depends in part on attracting, hiring and retaining qualified technical personnel.

         Our future success depends in part on the availability of qualified technical personnel, including personnel trained in software and hardware applications within specialized fields. As a result, we may not be able to successfully attract or retain skilled technical employees, which may impede our ability to develop, install, implement and otherwise service our software and hardware systems and to efficiently conduct our operations.

         The information technology and network security industries are characterized by a high level of employee mobility and the market for technical personnel remains extremely competitive in certain regions. This competition means there are fewer highly qualified employees available to hire, the costs of hiring and retaining such personnel are high and they may not

32


Table of Contents

remain with our company once hired. Furthermore, there is continuing pressure to provide technical employees with stock options and other equity interests in our company, which may dilute our earnings (loss) per share.

         Additions of new personnel and departures of existing personnel, particularly in key positions, can be disruptive, might lead to additional departures of existing personnel and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The addition and assimilation of new personnel may be made more difficult by the fact that our research and development personnel are located in France, the United States, Canada and India, and our sales and marketing activities are located on three continents, thus requiring the coordination of organizations separated by geography and time zones, and the interaction of personnel with disparate business backgrounds, languages and cultures.

It is difficult to integrate acquired companies, products and technologies into our operations and our inability to do so could greatly lessen the value of any such acquisitions.

         In January 2002, we established a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa and acquired certain assets from two privately held companies based in South Africa. In 2001, we acquired Safe Data System S.A. in Montpellier, France, Authentic8 International Inc. in Melbourne, Australia and American Biometric Co. Ltd. (Ankari) in Ottawa, Canada. We may make additional strategic acquisitions of companies, products or technologies in the future in order to implement our business strategy. If we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses, products or technologies with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of such acquisitions. For example, in the first quarter of 2002, we decided to dispose of certain of the operations of Authentic8. As a result of this decision, we recorded a $16.8 million charge to earnings in year ended December 31, 2002 associated with the impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, write-down of property and equipment and loss from discontinued operations. Additionally, following the consummation of an acquisition, disputes may arise regarding indemnity, earn-out and other provisions in the acquisition agreement. For the foregoing reasons, acquisitions may subject us to unanticipated liabilities or risks, disrupt our operations and divert management’s attention from day-to-day operations.

         To date, we have primarily used cash to finance our business acquisitions. We may incur debt or issue equity securities to finance future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities for any acquisition could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. In addition, our profitability may suffer due to acquisition-related expenses and the amortization of acquired intangible assets.

         Under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we recorded an impairment write-down of $758 thousand in the second quarter of 2003 and $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 to adjust the carrying value of acquired intangible assets to their estimated fair value as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The acquired intangible assets determined to be impaired consisted of developed and core technology, agreements, contracts, and trade names and trademarks.

         In the second quarter of 2003, we terminated certain non-core activities including our biometric hardware product line, hosting of PKI digital certificate issuance, and overlapping product offerings. As a result of these decisions, the estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows from the assets relating to these non-core activities declined indicating an impairment in value of the related assets. Accordingly, we recorded a charge to earnings of $3.7 million, which included an impairment in value of software licenses included in property and equipment of $1.7 million. In the future, any additional impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. At June 30, 2003, we had $11.8 million of goodwill and other intangible assets, which accounted for 4% of our total assets.

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

         Our success depends on establishing and maintaining strategic relationships with other companies to develop, market and distribute our technology and products and, in some cases, to incorporate our technology into their products. Part of our business strategy has been to enter into strategic alliances and other cooperative arrangements with other companies in the industry. We are currently involved in cooperative efforts to incorporate our products into products of others, to jointly engage in research and development efforts and to jointly engage in marketing efforts and reseller arrangements. None of these relationships are exclusive, and some of our strategic partners also have cooperative relationships with certain of our competitors.

         If we are unable to enter into cooperative arrangements in the future or if we lose any of our current strategic or cooperative relationships, our business could be harmed. We do not control the time and resources devoted to such activities by parties with whom we have relationships. In addition, we may not have the resources available to satisfy our commitments, which may adversely affect these relationships. These relationships may not continue, may not be

commercially successful, or may require the expenditure of significant financial, personnel and administrative resources from time to time. Further, certain of our products and services compete with the products and services of our strategic partners. For example, Schlumberger distributes software for logical security applications using smart cards in addition to the smart card products that they license from our company. This competition may adversely affect our relationships with our strategic partners, which could adversely affect our business.

The nature of our operations makes us particularly susceptible to power outages, computer viruses, acts of terrorism and natural disasters.

         Our operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, human error, natural disasters, telecommunication failures, power outages, intentional acts of vandalism or terrorism and similar events. In particular, our U.S. headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay area, which is known for seismic activity. We have not established a formal disaster recovery plan, and our back-up operations and business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for losses that occur. A significant business interruption would result in losses or damages incurred and would harm our business.

Legislative actions, higher insurance cost and potential new accounting pronouncements are likely to impact our future financial position and results of operations.

         There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings which will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase general and administrative costs, particularly for a relatively small company such as ours. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past year, which we expect will increase our premiums for our various insurance policies. Further, proposed initiatives are expected to result in changes in certain accounting rules, including legislative and other proposals to account for employee stock options as a compensation expense. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles and adversely affect our operating results.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

         We believe that we are exposed to minimal market risks. We do not hold or issue derivatives, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes.

Exchange rate sensitivity

         We are exposed to currency exchange fluctuations as we sell our products internationally. We attempt to manage the sensitivity of our international sales by denominating as many transactions as possible in US dollars.

         In the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, nearly all of our revenues were invoiced in US dollars. Although we purchase many of our components in US dollars, approximately half of our cost of revenues and operating expenses are denominated in other currencies.

         In the three months ended June 30, 2003 the net foreign exchange gain was $46 thousand and in the six months ended June 30, 2003 the net foreign exchange loss was $114 thousand. The volatility of the US dollar against the local functional currencies in the first six months of 2003 was the primary cause of these net foreign exchange gains and losses that resulted from revaluation of the assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the net foreign exchange loss was $170 thousand and $79 thousand, respectively.

         We utilize a foreign exchange hedging program to mitigate transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities held by ActivCard companies that were denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the legal entity holding the related asset or liability. To achieve this objective, we regularly enter into various short-term foreign currency forward contracts that we account for as fair value hedging instruments to offset these foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.

Interest rate sensitivity

         We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our significant cash and equivalent holdings. The interest rate risk that we may be able to obtain on investment securities will depend on market conditions at that time and may differ from the rates we have secured in the past.

         On June 30, 2003, we held $117.2 million of cash and equivalents and $128.6 million in short-term investments. Our cash and equivalents consist primarily of money-market funds and our short-term investments are primarily comprised of government and government agency securities. We currently have the ability and intention to hold our fixed investments until maturity, and therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates. Due to the low current market yields and the relatively short-term nature of our investments, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of our financial instruments that are exposed to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation and disclosure controls and procedures

         The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

            In March 2002, we filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Delaware, against Vasco Data Systems International alleging infringement of U.S. patent no. 5,937,068 entitled "System and Method for User Authentication Employing Dynamic Encryption Variables", which was issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office on August 10, 1999. The complaint also alleges false designation of origin in violation of the Lanham Act and common law trade dress infringement. In May 2002, Vasco filed a response to our complaint and filed counterclaims, including claims of non-infringement and patent invalidity. The parties are still in the discovery process and a trial date has been set for June 21, 2004.

            In May 2003, we filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of Delaware, against certain former shareholders of Authentic8 International, Inc. alleging fraud and the breach of certain representations and warranties set forth in the agreement pursuant to which we acquired Authentic8. This action is in its early stages and, as of the date of this report, the defendants have not yet filed a responsive pleading.
