ActivIdentity Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2006 Financial Results

FREMONT, Calif., August 9, 2006—ActivIdentity Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTI), a global leader in digital identity assurance, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2006 ended June 30, 2006.

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $12.9 million compared to $12.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, and $11.1 million for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 55 percent compared to 73 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which included one-time revenues related to the sale of certain patent rights. Gross margin for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2006 was 59 percent. Contributing to the lower gross margin in the last quarter was a higher mix of hardware sales.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $14.4 million compared to $14.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and $15.6 million for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2006. Sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, excluding additional stock based compensation, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $13.6 million compared to $14.0 million for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Cash used in operations for the three months ending June 30, 2006 was $1.2 million compared to $7.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and $6.0 million for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2006. Contributing to the lower use of cash in operations in the quarter was the timing of payments from a large customer.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $5.3 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, compared to $5.6 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Net loss for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2006, was $8.3 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share.

Jason Hart, CEO of ActivIdentity, said, “We have made progress this quarter in reducing our operating expenses, which have come down from $16.1 million in Q1 this fiscal year to $14.4 million in Q3. We will continue to focus on this area of our operations.”

“While revenue for the quarter was within guidance, we must continue to grow our top line. We are gaining momentum with our public sector digital identification solutions in governments worldwide. In US government sales, we move into what has historically been a seasonally strong quarter, and maintain a moderately positive outlook as departments and agencies look to comply with HSPD-12’s October deadline, and complete their IT projects by their year-end.”

“Demand for our enterprise employee identification solutions continues to strengthen as organizations move to converge their physical and logical identification.”

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

• Ended the quarter with $137 million in cash and short-term investments.

• Reduced operating expenses and cash used in operations compared to the same period last year as well as the previous quarter.

• Had strong collection performance in accounts receivable, with a reduction of $4.4 million to $6.3 million at the end of our fiscal third quarter, compared to $10.7 million at the end of the previous quarter.

• Closed our fiscal third quarter with deferred revenue at $9.6 million compared with $10.4 million for last quarter.

• Recorded a loss per share for our fiscal third quarter of $0.12 compared with $0.18 in the previous quarter, and $0.13 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005.

Third Quarter Business Highlights

• Achieved FIPS certification for ActivClient and two additional smart card solutions. US Federal Government departments and agencies must use FIPS-certified technology in their IT infrastructures to achieve HSPD-12 compliance.

• Launched the Global Channel Program for value-added distributors. The program is designed to create a global network of partners trained and certified to deliver our digital identification solutions to customers in a secure and cost effective manner.

• Continued support for industry standards with the launch of ActivIdentity Mini Token and Authentication Software Development Kit (SDK) with support for the algorithm technology developed by OATH, an industry initiative for open authentication.

• Signed an OEM partnership agreement with a large technology vendor for our enterprise smart card solution.

Outlook

ActivIdentity anticipates that revenue for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 ending September 30, 2006 will range from $14.5 to $15.5 million, while sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses are expected to range from $13 to $14 million, excluding additional stock-based compensation, amortization and restructuring.
