Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company” or “VASCO”) design, develop, market and support security products and services which manage and protect against unauthorized access to computer systems of corporate and government customers. VASCO has operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Australia, Singapore, China and the United States (U.S.).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U. S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

Hardware Revenue and License Fees: Revenues from the sale of computer security hardware or the license of software are recorded upon shipment or, if an acceptance period is allowed, at the later of shipment or customer acceptance. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized. Software licenses sold on a per-seat per-year basis are recognized evenly over the license period.

Support Agreements: Support agreements generally call for the Company to provide technical support and software updates to customers. Revenue on technical support and software update rights is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement.

 

-7-


Table of Contents

Consulting and Education Services: The Company provides consulting and education services to its customers. Revenue from such services is recognized during the period in which the services are performed.

Multiple-Element Arrangements: The Company allocates revenues to the various elements of the arrangements based on the estimated fair value of each deliverable as required by SOP 97-2 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21. The fair value for each element is based on the price charged when that element is sold separately, price lists, renewal rates and other methods. When discounts are given in a multiple-element arrangement, a proportionate amount of the discount is applied to each element based on each element’s fair value without regard to the discount. The estimated fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and recorded as revenue when services are performed or products are delivered.

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

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

Valuation of Investment in Secured Services, Inc.

The Company received preferred stock and a note receivable from Secured Services, Inc. (“SSI”) in 2003 as consideration for assets of the VACMAN Enterprise business unit. Based on a detailed valuation, we established the initial value of the consideration received from SSI, using a discounted value of the payment streams expected from the note and the preferred stock. Interest income on the note was recorded over time at the discount rate. In the first quarter of 2006, SSI discontinued its monthly note payments to the Company, due to its continuing operating losses and an inability to secure new financing. The Company concluded that a decline in fair value had occurred, which was other than temporary in nature as defined in EITF Issue 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The Company therefore recorded an asset impairment charge of $789 in the first quarter of 2006 to fully write down the value of the note receivable and the investment in SSI.

In the second quarter of 2006, the Company did receive payment for the remaining note balance of $189, which was recorded in income as a partial recovery of the impaired value. On July 17, 2006, SSI filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, announcing that it had defaulted on its primary bank debt obligations and had agreed to surrender all of its secured assets under the loan agreements. No further recoveries are likely to occur. No tax benefit was recorded for the asset impairment because the Company has a net operating loss carryforward in the U.S., for which the tax benefit is fully reserved.

Cash and Equivalents

The Company classifies as cash and equivalents amounts on deposit in banks and cash invested temporarily in various instruments with maturities of three months or less at time of purchase.

The Company had restricted cash of $181 at December 31, 2005 supporting a bank guarantee issued in favor of a customer relating to a contract prepayment. This contract was completed in 2006 and the cash is no longer restricted.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123(R), Stock-Based Compensation. This statement requires the Company to estimate the fair value of stock

 

-8-


Table of Contents

options granted to employees, directors and others and to record compensation expense equal to the estimated fair value. The fair value of stock options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the expected life adjusted to reflect the effect of post-vesting restrictions. This compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the stock options using the intrinsic method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No compensation expense related to the stock options was reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant.

The Company elected to use the modified prospective method to transition to SFAS 123(R). Under this method, prior periods are not restated, but the remaining compensation cost for previously issued options is recorded over the remaining vesting period.

All options granted under the plan were issued at market value on the date of grant, with terms of six to ten years and vesting periods ranging from one to five years. The Company issues new shares for option exercises or stock grants. The following table summarizes option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and options outstanding at September 30, 2006:

In addition to stock options, the Company has granted restricted stock awards. Compensation expense is recorded for restricted stock awards based on the market value of the stock at the date of the grant, amortized ratably over the vesting period. This treatment was required by SFAS 123(R) and prior statements. The following table summarizes compensation expense recorded and, for periods prior to January 1, 2006, illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

The net effect of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was to reduce income before taxes and net income by $175 and $501, respectively. Basic earnings per share was reduced by $.01 in the third quarter and for the nine month period. Fully diluted earnings per share was unchanged for the third quarter and was reduced by $.01 for the nine month period. The Company included estimates of expected pre-vesting forfeitures in its pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123. Such estimates were optional under SFAS 123, but are now required under SFAS 123(R) and must be adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. This adjustment for actual forfeitures was not significant for the periods reported here. Tax benefits resulting from differences between U.S. tax treatment and financial accounting have not been recorded because the Company has a net operating loss carryforward which has been fully reserved in the U.S.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of unexercised common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of unexercised common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. A reconciliation of the shares included in the basic and fully diluted earnings per share calculations is as follows:

Note 5 – Bank Borrowings

The Company maintains an overdraft agreement with Fortis Banque/Bank of Belgium. Under terms of the agreement, the Company can borrow an amount equal to 80% of its Belgian subsidiary’s defined accounts receivable up to a maximum of 3,500 U.S. Dollars or Euros. Borrowings in Euros accrue interest at an annual rate of 5.7% and borrowings in U.S. Dollars accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the average monthly prime rate as published daily by Reuters. The Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.125%. As of September 30, 2006, borrowings under the agreement totaled $3,079. The assets, excluding inventory, of the Belgian subsidiary secure the agreement and while it has no specific termination date, it can be terminated with thirty (30) days notice. The agreement is governed by the General Lending Conditions for Corporate Customers, registered in Brussels, Belgium on December 20, 2001.

Note 6 - Deferred Warranty

The Company warrants the performance of its Digipass units for specific periods of time. Customers may purchase extended warranties covering periods from one to four years after the standard warranty period. The Company defers the revenue associated with the extended warranty and recognizes it into income on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period.

Deferred warranty as of September 30, 2006 of $132 is included in other accrued expenses and $297 is included in long term liabilities. The deferred warranty revenue will be recognized into income as follows:

Note 9 - Business Combinations

On May 11, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Logico Smart Card Solutions GmbH and Logico Smartcard Solutions Vertriebs, GmbH. (The combined group will be referred to as “Logico”.) Logico is an authentication storage specialist with extensive experience in smart card based authentication, located in Vienna, Austria. The Company believes that significant synergies will be created by combining Logico’s technology with the Company’s technology, customer base and marketing channels. The shares of Logico were acquired for cash payments of €1,197 (equivalent to $1,529). An additional payment of up to €150 (or $190 at the September 30 exchange rate) may be due on March 31, 2007 if certain performance conditions are met.

The aggregate purchase price was $2,119, consisting of the cash payment of $1,529, previously acquired software rights with a net cost of $174 and estimated direct transaction costs of $416. Logico will be operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations.

On February 4, 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of A.O.S. Hagenuk B.V. (“AOS”) a private limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Netherlands. The base purchase price was €5,000, of which €3,750 was paid in cash and the remainder was paid in the Company’s Common Stock. In addition to the base purchase price, a variable amount related to the gross profits collected on the sales of certain equipment will be paid to the seller over a period of two (2) years following the closing. No additional payments have been earned under this agreement through September 30, 2006. AOS will be operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations.

The aggregate purchase price was $7,263, consisting of $4,374 of cash, 263 shares of Common Stock valued at approximately $2,128, the assumed liability due AOS of $616 and estimated direct costs of the acquisition of $145. The fair value of the common stock was determined based on the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock over the period including several days before the closing date, February 4, 2005. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for the Logico and AOS Hagenuk acquisitions:

Note 10 – Subsequent event

On October 25, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Able Holding BVBA and Able N.V. (collectively “Able”), in exchange for €5 million ($6.3 million). Concurrent with the Share Purchase Agreement, Able entered into a Consultancy Services Agreement with OCS, BVBA, represented by the Seller. Of the purchase price paid, €1.25 million ($1.6 million) may be returned in whole or in part in the event that the Consultancy Services Agreement is terminated before the completion of four years of service. This amount will not be included in the purchase cost of the acquisition as computed under SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”, but will be amortized over the four year term.

Able is a Unified Threat Management (UTM) specialist, located in Mechelin, Belgium. The acquisition was financed completely from cash and is not expected to have a significant impact on earnings in 2006 or 2007. Able generated revenues of $1.5 million in 2005. Able’s line of UTM products already supports VACMAN Controller and is a good fit with the Company’s strong authentication strategy.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(in thousands, except headcount and unit price data)                            

The following discussion is based upon the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, (percentages in the discussion may be rounded to the closest full percentage point) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We design, develop, market and support hardware and software user authentication products that reduce the risk of loss from unauthorized transactions by validating a person’s identity using a one-time password and obtaining a legally-enforceable digital signature, if needed, for financial transactions. Our products are used currently in a wide variety of applications including, but not limited to, Internet banking, Internet brokerage, e-commerce applications dealing with web or mobile access and various Enterprise Security applications. As evidenced by our current customer base, our products are purchased by companies and, depending on the business application, are distributed to either their employees or their customers. Those customers may be other businesses or, for example, in the case of Internet banking, the banks’ retail customers.

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

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning, among other things, the prospects, developments and business strategies for the Company and its operations, including the development and marketing of certain new products and the anticipated future growth in certain markets in which the Company currently markets and sells its products or anticipates selling and marketing its products in the future. These forward-looking statements (i) are identified by their use of such terms and phrases as “expected,” “expects,” “believe,” “believes,” “will,” “anticipated,” “emerging,” “intends,” “plans,” “could,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “objective,” and “goals” and (ii) are subject to risks and uncertainties and represent the Company’s present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including (a) risks of general market conditions, including demand for the Company’s products and services, competition and price levels and the Company’s historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers, and (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, changing government regulations and potential competition from more established firms and others. Therefore, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results included in, or implied by these statements.

Comparison of Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

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

 

-15-


Table of Contents

European banking market may have a significant effect on our revenues. During difficult economic periods, our customers often delay the rollout of existing applications and defer purchase decisions related to the implementation of our products in new applications.

Currency Fluctuations. In the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, approximately 94% and 90%, respectively, of our revenue was generated outside the United States. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, approximately 91% and 92%, respectively, was generated outside of the United States.

In addition, approximately 76% of our operating expenses in both the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 were incurred outside of the United States. For the first nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, approximately 75% and 76%, respectively, of our operating expenses were incurred outside of the United States.

As a result, changes in currency exchange rates, especially from the Euro to the U.S. Dollar, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses. To minimize the net impact of currency, we attempt to denominate our billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. In addition, we denominate the majority of our supply contracts in U.S. dollars.

The U.S. Dollar weakened approximately 5% against the Euro and strengthened approximately 0.4% against the Australian Dollar for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the U.S. Dollar strengthened approximately 3% against both the Euro and the Australian Dollar as compared to the same period in 2005. We estimate that the changes of the U.S. Dollar versus the two currencies in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted in an increase in revenues of approximately $397 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and a decrease in revenues of approximately $465 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. We also estimate that changes in currency exchange rates resulted in an increase in operating expenses of approximately $241 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and a decrease in operating expenses of $349 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005.

The financial position and results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign exchange transaction gains aggregating $23 in the third quarter of 2006 compare to gains for the third quarter of 2005 of $73. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, transaction gains of $41 compare to gains of $365 for the first nine months of 2005. The Company implemented a foreign exchange hedging program in the second quarter of 2005 to minimize the impact of transaction gains or losses. Transaction gains and losses are included in other non-operating income (expense). Under this program, our Belgian subsidiary borrows U.S. dollars in an amount that is generally equal to its net U.S. dollar asset position. The U.S. dollars borrowed are converted to Euros and invested in short-term instruments. The borrowings under this program have not been designated as a foreign currency hedge as that term is defined in FASB Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We plan to monitor the results of this program and, while we expect to continue the program for the near term, we may discontinue the program if it is deemed to be no longer necessary, ineffective or too costly.

Revenue

Revenue by Geographic Regions: We sell the majority of our products in European countries with significant sales in the United States and other countries, primarily Australia, Asia/Pacific, India and South America. The breakdown of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 in each of our major geographic areas was as follows:

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2006 increased $5,435 or 41% over the third quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Digipasses shipped and the benefit of the strengthening of the Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by a decline in average selling price per Digipass. We estimate that the weakening of the U.S. Dollar resulted in an increase in revenue for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to 2005 of $397.

We shipped approximately 2,929 Digipasses in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of approximately 1,093 or 60% over the third quarter of 2005. The average selling price per Digipass, including related software, was approximately $6.39 in the third quarter of 2006, a decline of $0.84 or 12% from the average price of approximately $7.23 in 2005. Management believes that the increase in Digipass volume is attributed to the growth in its distribution channel, increased awareness of the need for strong authentication to combat identity theft and our ability to help customers deploy large volumes of high-quality Digipasses at an affordable price. We provide volume-purchase discounts to customers that place firm purchase orders for large-volume deployments.

Revenue generated in Europe during the third quarter was $2,821, or 35% higher than 2005. Revenue generated in the United States during the third quarter was $141 or 11% lower than 2005. Revenue generated from other countries during the third quarter was $2,755 or 69% higher. The increase in revenue in Europe and other countries were primarily related to the aforementioned increase in Digipass units shipped. The decline in the U.S. was primarily attributed to a decrease in Digipass units shipped. Management believes that the decline in the U.S. reflects the fact that the U.S. market for authentication is not as developed as in other countries and is not indicative of future results. Given the current volume of revenue in the U.S., relatively large individual shipments will result in higher volatility of quarterly results.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $13,849 or 37% over the first nine months of 2005. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of Digipass units sold, partially offset by a decline in the average selling price per Digipass and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro and the Australian Dollar. Digipass volume for the nine-month period increased 50% from approximately 4,913 in 2005 to approximately 7,378 in 2006. The average selling price per Digipass, including related software, was approximately $6.90 for the first nine months of 2006, a decline of $0.64 or 8% from the average price of approximately $7.54 in 2005. We estimate that the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar resulted in a decrease in revenue for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to 2005 of $465.

Revenue generated in Europe during the first nine months of 2006 was $3,895, or 14% higher than 2005; revenue generated in the United States was $1,764 or 63% higher than 2005 and revenue generated from other countries was $8,190 or 127% higher than 2005.

For the first nine months of 2006, the top ten customers accounted for approximately 54% of total revenue as compared to 70% of total revenue in 2005.

Revenue by Target Market: Revenues are generated currently from two primary markets, banking/finance (“Banking”) and Enterprise Security (formerly referred to as Corporate Network Access) through the use of both direct and indirect sales channels. The breakdown of revenue between the two primary markets is as follows:

Revenue in the third quarter of 2006 from the Banking market increased $4,905 or 44% over the third quarter of 2005 and revenue from the Enterprise Security market increased $530 or 25% in the same period. While the increase in total revenues is attributable, in part, to the development of the indirect sales channel, which includes distributors, resellers, and solution partners, the distribution of the revenues between the segments in large part reflects the sales channel’s focus on banking opportunities. The indirect sales channel supplements our direct sales force in the Banking market and is the primary source of revenues in the Enterprise Security market.

Revenue for the first nine months of 2006 from the Banking market increased $11,847 or 38% compared to the first nine months of 2005 and revenue from the Enterprise Security market increased $2,002 or 36% in the same period.

Enterprise Security revenues currently include revenues generated in the e-commerce market. We expect that the e-commerce market will be an important source of future revenue for us as our products will not only provide a higher level of security for purchases made over the Internet, they can also help protect our customers’ revenue stream by making it more difficult for subscribers to our customers’ Internet services to share passwords.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $12,785, an increase of $4,651, or 57%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 68% in the third quarter of 2006, as compared to 61% in the third quarter of 2005. The increase in the gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily related to a decline in the average cost of Digipasses sold and the impact of the strengthening of the Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the decline in average selling price per Digipass. The decline in the average selling price per Digipass unit reflects the impact of volume-purchase discounts granted to customers making large-volume purchases. The decline in the average cost per unit reflects a change in the mix of product sold, a reduction in the production cost of most of the hardware Digipass models manufactured and a reduction in the costs that are not attributed directly to products sold such as freight, warranty and inventory adjustments.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $34,098, an increase of $10,695, or 46%, from the same period in 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 67% for the first nine months of 2006, as compared to 63% for the same period in 2005. The improvement in the gross profit as a percentage of revenue reflects the impact of the same issues as noted in the comparison of the third quarter results.

The average total cost per Digipass unit sold across all models declined approximately 17% in the third quarter of 2006 and 11% for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. The decline in cost is primarily attributable to a change in the mix of models sold and a reduction in the per-unit cost of most models.

As previously noted, our purchases of inventory are denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, as previously noted, we denominate a portion of our sales in Euros in order to offset the effects of currency on operating expenses. As the exchange rates for the currencies change, we experience a change in revenue without the

corresponding change in cost of goods sold. The impact from changes in currency rates are estimated to have increased gross profit by $397 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and decreased gross profit by $465 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The effect of foreign currency was to increase the gross profit rate by approximately 0.6 percentage points for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and decrease the gross profit rate by approximately 0.3 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Operating Expenses

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

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $4,570, an increase of $1,183, or 35%, from the third quarter of 2005. This increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily related to increased direct headcount, the cost of agents in countries where the Company does not have a direct sales presence and an increase in related travel, an increase in marketing expenses, the impact of currency and an increase in non-cash compensation. The average full-time sales and marketing employee headcount was 88 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to 71 in the third quarter of 2005.

Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $13,013, an increase of $2,754, or 27%, from the same period of 2005. The increase in expense was related to the same factors noted for the third quarter above partially offset by the benefits of a stronger U.S. Dollar. Average full-time sales and marketing employee headcount in 2006 was 84 compared to 68 in 2005.

Research and Development Expenses

Consolidated research and development costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $1,446, an increase of $544, or 60%, from the third quarter of 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased compensation related expenses. Our acquisition of Logico in May of 2006 has been the primary source of increased headcount and compensation related expenses. Average full-time research and development employee headcount in 2006 was 47 compared to 27 in 2005.

Consolidated research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $3,624, an increase of $1,009, or 39%, from the same period of 2005. This increase was related to the same factors noted for the third quarter above. Average full-time research and development employee headcount for the first nine months in 2006 was 39 compared to 25 in the same period of 2005.

General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $1,624, an increase of $496, or 44%, from the third quarter of 2005. This increase was primarily due to increased headcount, non-cash compensation charges, increased professional fees and increased insurance costs. Average full-time general and administrative employee headcount in 2006 was 20 compared to 15 in 2005.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $5,164, an increase of $1,959, or 61%, from the same period of 2005. This increase was due to the same factors as noted for the third quarter and a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable. Average full-time general and administrative employee headcount for the first nine months in 2006 was 19 compared to 14 in the same period of 2005.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 decreased $10 and $239, respectively, over the same periods of 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that the intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of AOS were fully amortized in 2005 and are being partially offset by the amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of Logico in May of 2006.

Impairment of Investment in Secured Services

The net impairment charge of $600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 represents the full impairment of the remaining investments in Secured Services.

Interest Income (Expense), Net

Consolidated net interest expense was negligible and generally comparable in the third quarter of 2006 to the same periods in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, net interest income was comparable to 2005.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency and subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our export business in those countries. Other income for the third quarter of 2006 was $27 and compares to income of $166 for the third quarter of 2005. Other income for the first nine months of 2006 was $135 compared to $512 in the first nine months of 2005. The reduction in income in the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 primarily reflects a reduction in both the amount of exchange gains recognized and in the amount of subsidies received.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2006 was $1,658, an increase of $715 from the third quarter of 2005. The increase in tax expense is attributable to higher pre-tax income partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 33.5% for the third quarter of 2006 compared to 35% for the third quarter of 2005.

Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2006 was $4,018, an increase of $1,466 from the same period in 2005. The increase in tax expense reflects the tax on increased earnings. The effective tax rate was 35% for both the first nine months of 2006 and 2005. The tax rate for the first nine months of 2006 is higher than the expected tax rate for the full year as it does not include a benefit for the SSI impairment charge. The normalized effective tax rate for full-year 2006 is currently 33.5% and compares to 35% in 2005. The effective tax rate for both periods reflects our estimate of the full-year tax rate at the end of each respective period. The rate reported in 2006 is lower than the rate reported in 2005 as our expectation of earnings in countries in which we have a tax loss carryforward are higher in 2006 than they were at the end of the third quarter in 2005.

At December 31, 2005, we had net operating loss carryforwards in the United States approximating $25,810 and foreign net operating loss carryforwards approximating $4,595. Such losses are available to offset future taxable income in the respective jurisdictions and expire in varying amounts beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2024. In addition, if certain substantial changes in our ownership were deemed to have occurred, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of the U.S. carryforwards that could be utilized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our net cash balance at September 30, 2006 (total cash less loans payable to banks) was $20,407, an increase of $7,437 or 57% from $12,970 at June 30, 2006 and an increase of $6,437 or 46% from $13,970 at December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2006, we had working capital of $24,046, an increase of $4,190, or 21%, from $19,856 reported at June 30, 2006 and an increase of $7,721 or 47% from the $16,325 reported at December 31, 2005. The increase in cash was primarily due to the cash generated from our operating activities and other net changes in working capital. The increase in working capital was primarily related to positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Days sales outstanding in net accounts receivable decreased from 81 days at June 30, 2006 to 66 days at September 30, 2006. Days sales outstanding in receivables decreased in the third quarter of 2006 primarily due to the full payment of aged balances and to a reduction in the amount of sales in the last month of the third quarter as compared to the amount of sales made in the last month of the second quarter.

EBITDA from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $5,319 and $12,191, respectively, and reflect increases of $2,349 or 79% and $4,111 or 51% over the same periods of the prior year. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 follows:

We use EBITDA as a measure of performance, a simplified tool for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not need to consider the impact of those items on our competitors’ results.

EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or prospects. Such evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and the other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance. Similarly, our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides the full accounting for how we have decided to use resources provided to us from our customers, lenders and shareholders.

At September 30, 2006, we had an overdraft agreement in place with Fortis Bank, secured by our trade

Table of Contents

accounts receivable, wherein we could borrow up to 3,500 Euros or U.S. Dollars. We borrow against this line of credit as part of our currency hedging program as noted previously. Based on receivable balances as of September 30, 2006 and the amount of borrowings outstanding under the line to support our hedging program, $421 of the overdraft agreement was available to us for borrowing at September 30, 2006.

We believe that our current cash balances, credit available under our existing overdraft agreement, the anticipated cash generated from operations, including the realization of deferred revenue recorded as a current liability, and deposits that will be received in future quarters on orders of the Digipass product will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs over the next twelve months.

There is substantial risk, however, that we may not be able to achieve our revenue and cash goals. If we do not achieve those goals, we may need to significantly reduce our workforce, sell certain of our assets, enter into strategic relationships or business combinations, discontinue some or all of our operations, or take other similar restructuring actions. While we expect that these actions would result in a reduction of recurring costs, they also may result in a reduction of recurring revenues and cash receipts. It is also likely that we would incur substantial non-recurring costs to implement one or more of these restructuring actions.

For additional information related to risks, refer to “Item 1(a): Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Interpretation (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, which changes the threshold for recognizing the benefit of an uncertain tax position, prescribes a method for measuring the tax benefit to be recorded and requires incremental disclosures about uncertain tax positions. This interpretation is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006. The interpretation is expected to have no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June, 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on Issue 06-3, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” This pronouncement will not affect the Company’s income statement presentation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. For additional information, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission for such filings. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2006. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with the our management, have determined that as of September 30, 2006, the disclosure controls and procedures were and are effective as designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act relating to us and our consolidated

subsidiaries would be accumulated and communicated to them, as appropriate, to allow timely disclosures regarding required disclosures.

There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
