PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

     Datakey, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 1976 under the name “The Systems Group, Inc.” In 1980, we changed our name to Datakey, Inc. Through July 2001, Datakey operated two business segments. Our Information Security Solutions (ISS) business segment provides products and systems for information security markets that enable user authentication, secure data exchange and information validation. Our Electronic Products (EP) business segment, the assets of which were sold in August 2001, provided OEM products, consisting of proprietary memory keys, cards and other custom shaped tokens that serve as a convenient way to carry electronic information and are packaged to survive in rugged environments. As is explained further in this report, the EP segment is reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements contained in this report.

     From 1976 to 1995, Datakey was primarily a supplier of electronic memory keys and custom tokens used for data storage in a variety of small niche applications. This business segment is known today as Electronic Products. EP’s first portable memory products, consisting of an electronic key and support electronics, were introduced in 1981 for applications requiring convenient storage, transportation and management of information. EP’s current products utilize semiconductor technology to provide a storage device more versatile and rugged than conventional portable information products. EP’s current product line of portable memory devices and associated interface products provide up to 16,384,000 bits of data storage which are used as OEM devices in a wide range of applications including communications security, computer security, facility security, vending and process control. EP developed a line of Cashless Vending and Access Control products which we first introduced in 2000.

     In 1996, Datakey made a strategic decision to utilize its public key cryptographic smart card and reader technology founded in 1991 to provide information systems that allow secure use of intranets, extranets and the Internet for business-to-business electronic commerce—a market with explosive growth potential. In September 1997 we introduced a family of systems under the SignaSURE® trademark using smart cards or smart keys that provide advanced information security utilizing public key digital signatures and encryption. These systems incorporate both hardware and software to provide a higher level of security than is available from software only solutions.

     On February 22, 2001, we announced our intention to strategically focus our business on opportunities for the ISS business, and our plan to phase down or divest our EP business. On August 3, 2001, Datakey, Inc. completed the sale of certain operating assets of its EP business segment pursuant to an Asset Acquisition Agreement dated August 3, 2001 between Datakey and Datakey Electronics, Inc., an Ohio corporation, f/k/a Jennings Acquisition, Inc. (“Buyer”).

     In the sale of assets transaction, Datakey sold certain EP assets, including inventory, fixed assets, patents and certain other intellectual property required to operate the EP business segment, as well as computer systems and certain customer contracts relating to the EP business. Datakey retained all the EP accounts receivable and certain key customer contracts that are expected to ship during 2002. In exchange for the sale of such assets, Datakey received cash in the amount of $550,000, and Datakey subleased the former EP space to Buyer for 35 months, the remaining term under the Company’s lease. In connection with such sublease, Datakey agreed to make certain improvements to the EP Space to allow Buyer to operate the EP Business separate from the operations of Datakey.

     Datakey is located at 407 West Travelers Trail in Burnsville, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. We also maintain regional sales offices in the metropolitan areas of New York City, Washington, D.C., London, England and Frankfurt, Germany that support the information security business.

Product and Service Description

ISS business segment (CONTINUING OPERATIONS):

For the past six years, Datakey has been developing “token-based” (smart card and other smart token) products that provide advanced information security solutions for the problems of organizations, worldwide. The first of a family of products was introduced in September 1997 and additional versions have been released on a regular basis. In addition to the current versions, we expect to launch new versions of information security products in 2002 and beyond.

Information Security Product Components:

Smart card-based Operating System and Security Application Software. Datakey developed its own smart card operating system (OS) specifically designed for information security. It manages all security functions performed in the smart card. The OS, known as DKCCOS (Datakey chip card operating system), including public key security application software, was first released in 1998 as the OS for our SignaSURE Model 320 smart card. The Model 320 was the first PKI smart card in the world to use 1024 bit keys, to generate public key pairs on the card, the first with 8K Bytes of storage for data and programs, and the first PKI card with an extensible operating system. In 1999, Datakey released its Model 330 smart card which increased key length to 2048 bits, increased storage to 32K Bytes, added applications for processing DES and Elliptic Curve algorithm applications, and passed FIPS 140-1 level 2 certification—a requirement to operate in the government market and a desirable for financial service customers. This card is a technology leader in the industry.

Smart card readers. Although Datakey initially designed and manufactured its own reader, today’s readers are primarily purchased components.

Client based security interface software. Datakey software, resident on the desktop or laptop, is the interface between the smart card and security application program. It allows private and secret key functions previously performed in the software application to be done much more securely in the smart card. The first version, named SignaSURE CIP 1.0, was introduced in 1997. The current CIP 4.x version is recognized as the leader in technology and stability today . It features a multi-threaded application interface and can operate with multiple applications in a single session. It supports PC/SC compatible readers, both PKCS #11 and Microsoft CAPI standard cryptographic interfaces and Windows 2000 security features.

Information Security Product Family:

Datakey CIP (Cryptographic Interface Provider). Password-based software programs that implement public-key cryptography technology for information security offer easier operation and improved data integrity over older symmetric cryptography software. Password-based security, however, is insufficient for public networks with connections, such as extranets and the Internet, outside of the organization. Datakey’s CIP allows enterprise users to upgrade their software-only systems to token-based information security and gain the benefit of secure Internet operation. Token-based information security implements a two-level security scheme—something that is owned (a hardware token) and something that is known (a password to activate the token)—for a much stronger level of security than password-based software solutions. CIP provides token add-ons to Cryptoki (PKCS-11) standard information security interface applications and for applications that incorporate Microsoft’s CryptoAPI (CAPI). It offers “load, plug and play” convenience for strong information security. CIP includes three elements:

• A user-unique smart card or smart key “token” that holds critical information and performs the cryptographic functions necessary for information security

• A companion reader/writer that plugs into a computer’s serial port, PCMCIA port, USB port or floppy disk drive

• Software that is loaded into the workstation and interfaces to the application program.

Datakey CIP Thin. During 2001, Datakey introduced a “server-based” version of the “client based” CIP. CIP Thin contains all the features and functionality of CIP but is installed on the server instead of on each individual workstation.

Datakey DTK (Developers Tool Kit). DTK is a turnkey package to allow software developers to integrate Datakey hardware tokens and a public key Infrastructure (PKI) into their applications. DTK includes up to three main components: hardware cryptographic tokens, interface and integration software and security infrastructure products. DTK is available in several configurations ranging from a token with a reader/writer and integration software, to the full PKI configuration that issues and manages hardware tokens and digital certificates. This product flexibility allows user-developers who utilize DTK to integrate just what is needed for their application. Datakey began selling DTK in 1997.

Datakey SCC (Security Control Center). Smart cards need to be “initialized and personalized” with unique user and enterprise data before they are issued. In addition, many enterprises want to hold a copy of the keys used for encryption so they can recover encrypted data in an emergency. SCC provides these features and provides an audit trail for these actions.

     OEM Private Label Products. Datakey also provides its information security family of information security products to OEM’s under their own private label.

     OEM Technology Licensing. In addition to selling products, Datakey licenses its Smart Card Operating System and interface software to OEM’s for incorporation into their products. Current licensees include Rainbow Technologies (iKey 2000, iKey 2032), and Certicom (SC 500). Licenses are sold on a per seat basis with revenue recognized at time of delivery to the customer, provided that Datakey has no significant cost or obligation beyond the original authorization to the silicon supplier.

Manufacturing

     As a result of selling the Electronic Products business unit in August 2001, the Company no longer maintains an internal manufacturing capability. We do, however, control the manufacturing process for our cards with several outside assembly operations, and we buy our readers from several smart card reader companies.

Sources of Supply

     The Company purchases a microprocessor, with its proprietary operating system masked into the chip, from a single source supplier. The Company is currently qualifying a second supplier of the microprocessor to reduce the dependency on one supplier.

     Due to the unique nature of these cryptographic microprocessors, there are currently a limited number of alternative sources of supply and, due to different operating systems and other characteristics, one supplier’s microprocessors are not easily interchangeable with another. Should the present source of supply become inadequate or inferior to other offerings in the future or should its second supplier be inadequate, the Company would be required to incur a significant cost and possibly experience a gap in supply to switch to a new supplier.

-5-

     The Company continues to offer a Smart Key version of the smart card offering. Although this product has not received broad acceptance, several customers have expressed interest in it as an alternative to the card. If we receive orders for this product, the company that purchased our former EP business will be our sole source of supply.

Significant Customer

     Sales to one of the Company’s ISS customers, an agency of the Canadian government, totaled approximately $4,152,000, or 53% of net sales from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Marketing

     General. ISS products for the information security marketplace were introduced in 1997 and resulted in revenue of $629,000 during 1998, $1,316,000 during 1999, $3,608,000 during 2000 and $7,815,000 in 2001. In 2002, the Company expects revenue from these products to reach $13-$15 million. As with any new product line, revenue will depend on customer acceptance, the extent of which is difficult to assess at this time, as well as other general business and economic conditions.

     Marketing Strategy. The marketing of our information security products employs five key strategies:

  • Seek recognition as a major player in the public key token-based information security market. We participate in industry trade shows with exhibits and product demonstrations. Our Technical Services personnel write white papers and articles for technical trade magazines and other periodicals. We hold regular press conferences at conferences and trade shows that are intended to publicize our products and organization. Direct mail is used as a follow-up method for trade shows so we keep our name and products in front of customers and prospects. Our sales and marketing staff are members of key trade associations and participate in meetings with product and technology presentations. Our products are tested by independent testing laboratories hosted by media publications and the results published. We also maintain a significant web presence that describes Datakey and our products.

  • Develop products in concert with customer needs. Before development is started, the product description is discussed with our current customer base and prospects to determine its future acceptability in the marketplace. We also host customer feedback sessions to better determine their needs and our product enhancements.

  • Emphasize Datakey’s advanced technology, service and support discriminators. Our customer presentations, product literature and proposal responses are designed to highlight those functions and features that distinguish Datakey from our competitors. Our technology white papers, useful for those prospects in the early stages of product selection, also emphasize those capabilities unique to our products. We also use satisfied customers and their testimonials as references for new prospects.

  • Partner with PKI suppliers, VPN suppliers and larger system integrators as additional delivery channels.

  • Offer Datakey technology through licenses to non-competitive security solution providers

     Pricing Strategy. Datakey token-based information security products are priced competitively with software information security products providing our customers with high security at little additional price. As we expand our product line with additional software application modules that work with our

-6-

smart cards and keys, we expect to improve our gross margins over time. As we become better known in the information security marketplace, we intend to charge our customers for pre-sales consultation which today is offered free. We offer service subscriptions and upgrades that represent a substantial profit potential to Datakey.

     Promotion Strategy. Datakey uses a variety of promotional vehicles to reach new customers. A summary of our promotional strategy follows:

1. Sales Literature — Datakey generates a variety of product and corporate literature pieces, each written for an intended audience. Our literature is distributed at events, sent as follow up to product information requests, sent to interested investors and posted on our web site.

2. Direct Mail — Datakey implements direct mail programs around events throughout the year as well as focused mailings to our target markets.

3. Trade Shows and Seminars - Industry events are an effective way for Datakey to generate sales leads. Information security and target market trade shows, as well as joint seminars with our technology partners provide our sales force with highly qualified leads.

4. Public Relations — Datakey relies on professional public relations firms with experience in the networking and information security markets to work with the press and industry analysts to build brand awareness for Datakey products.

5. Web Site — the Datakey web site is becoming a strong vehicle for quickly disseminating product information to prospects as well as a lead generation tool by utilizing various methods to capture information about our web visitors.

     Worldwide Distribution Strategy. Datakey uses a combination of a direct sales force and indirect sales channels to distribute its ISS products. Our direct sales force currently consists of four sales professionals covering the North American market, a European office that sells direct and manages our European reseller channel, and a channel sales manager that establishes worldwide product representation through resellers and distributors specializing in information security technologies, and manages our strategic partner relationships. We are in the process of hiring additional sales personnel for North America and the Asia/Pacific markets.

Sales in North America are generally conducted through direct sales representatives. The Company has a number of distributors in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and plans to add more international distributors as appropriate to serve those markets. In 2001 and 2000, sales to domestic customers and the corresponding percentage of total revenue, were approximately $2,609,000 (33%) and $2,015,000 (56%), respectively. ISS Sales to international customers, including Canada, and the corresponding percentage of ISS revenue, were approximately $5,206,000 (67%) and $1,593,000 (44%), respectively, in 2001 and 2000.

Backlog

     As of March 11, 2002, the Company had an order backlog from continuing operations totaling approximately $2,496,000. Although the orders generally contain scheduled shipment dates, they may be accelerated, delayed or canceled at the customer’s request. The Company does not believe that the current backlog is necessarily indicative of future backlog levels.

Competition

     Information Security Solutions. Datakey currently offers token-based (smart card, smart key and iKey) information security solutions which are primarily utilized in encryption for electronic mail privacy, remote network authentication private and secure file transfer and digital signatures for electronic document authentication. The Company is continuing a significant product development effort to expand the applications and ease-of-use of its products and systems. See “Products—Information Security Solutions.”

     Competition in the information security business is varied with companies offering hardware solutions, software solutions and combinations of hardware and software solutions. As awareness for security on the Internet, company intranets and on other local area networks has increased over the past few years, many companies have introduced software and/or hardware based products to provide security. These products range from software-based password only systems to firewalls, which may be very sophisticated. Other applications are using hand held hardware devices, commonly referred to as tokens, to provide access to networks and, in some cases, use encryption and digital signatures to further secure networks.

     The Company’s advanced information security products, some of which are released and some of which are currently in development, are based upon a smart card, smart key or iKey and utilize encryption and digital signatures. They also include extensive software to make the system user-friendly and seamless with common desktop software packages. There are several companies operating in this highly competitive and rapidly changing marketplace, however, and many of such companies have strong name recognition and vast financial resources. The Company believes it can compete on the basis of its unique design and ease of use. The initial reception to the Company’s products in the marketplace, beginning in late 1997, has been encouraging and sales of evaluation units and units for pilot programs have been progressing very well. There are no assurances, however, that the existing and future products will, in the long term, be accepted in the marketplace.

     The technology involved in information security systems is undergoing rapid expansion and advancement which could result in the development of new products and systems which may make the Company’s present information security products obsolete. The initial development effort for the Company’s information security products was completed in 1997, but the Company must continue to improve its present information security products in order to remain competitive.

Research and Development, Engineering and Technical Support

     In 2001 and 2000, research and development, engineering and technical support expenses (RDETS), in continuing operations were $2,325,000 and $2,003,000, respectively. The Company expects that RDETS expenses in 2002 will increase by about seven percent (7%) as the Company plans to continue new product development and add to the technical support staff.

Employees

     As of March 15, 2002, the Company employs 35 full-time employees, 3 in procurement and materials handling, 4 in technical support, 11 in engineering, 11 in marketing/sales and 6 in general and administrative areas. The Company’s employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes that its employee relations are good.
