NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data, unless indicated otherwise)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Entrust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally contained in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF ORION SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC.

On June 15, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Orion Security Solutions, Inc. (“Orion”), a Virginia corporation, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 15, 2006 (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Orion, and the stockholders of Orion. The Company acquired all of the common stock of Orion, a privately-held provider of public key infrastructure services to defense-related governmental agencies and other customers, such as the Department of Defense, the United States Marine Corps and the National Security Agency and commercial companies in the healthcare industry, in exchange for $9,000 in cash and $135 in acquisition-related costs. The acquisition was made in order to extend the Company’s overall leadership in the United States government vertical, by further strengthening the Company’s ability to provide identity and information security to the United States civilian government agencies, adding key defense agencies to the Company’s customer base. The Company intends to continue Orion’s business substantially in the manner conducted by Orion immediately prior to the acquisition, however, it plans to integrate the business into Entrust Cygnacom, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, located in McLean, Virginia.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price of approximately $9,135 was allocated to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. In addition, the results of operations of Orion have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing from June 1, 2006, the effective date of the acquisition for accounting purposes. No amortization has been recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2006, related to customer relationships and non-competition agreement assets arising from this acquisition. In connection with the purchase price allocation, the Company undertook an appraisal of the intangible assets, which resulted in the purchase price of these assets being allocated, on a preliminary basis, as follows:

NOTE 3. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS SIGNATURES CORPORATION

On July 19, 2006, subsequent to the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and options of Business Signatures Corporation (“Business Signatures”), a privately-held supplier of Zero Touch Fraud Detection solutions that provide non-invasive real time online fraud detection capability and that require no change to business applications, based in Redwood City, California, in exchange for approximately $49,000 in cash and options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $1,000. The Company also estimates that it will incur approximately $1,000 in acquisition-related expenses and will assume net liabilities of Business Signatures of approximately $1,100. The acquisition enables the Company to combine Business Signatures’ zero touch capability with its IdentityGuard authentication platform in order to offer customers strong consumer authentication solutions, that are easy to implement, user-friendly and cost effective with the ability to evolve over time, to help meet the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) requirement to implement stronger security measures for online customers, as well as other requirements for online transaction security and integrity.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN OHANA WIRELESS, INC.

Ohana was incorporated on July 10, 2003. It was formed to design, assemble and install high frequency wireless communications systems. On September 30, 2003, the Company loaned Ohana $650 in the form of a convertible loan pursuant to the terms of a convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). Because the Company believed that its security solutions can be integrated with Ohana’s products and anticipated that an investment in Ohana would assist the Company in furthering the development of its distribution capability in Asia through technology and distribution partnerships. This convertible loan was structured to automatically convert into Ohana’s stock if Ohana was successful in closing a round of equity financing by July 31, 2004, based on minimum terms set out in the Loan Agreement.

In the second and third quarters of 2004, the Company made additional advances of $300 and $275, respectively, resulting in a total outstanding convertible loan of $1,225 which by July 2004 was secured with certain exclusive rights to Ohana’s intellectual property.

In the third quarter of 2004, the Company determined that the loan was unlikely to be repaid. Also in the third quarter of 2004 we concluded a term sheet with Ohana and certain of its shareholders and creditors which anticipated that Ohana would become a wholly owned subsidiary of ADML Holdings, Ltd. (“ADML Holdco”) and all loans, together with accrued interest, would convert into stock of ADML Holdco (“Ohana Restructuring”). In view of these factors we classified the loans as long-term in nature.

If the Ohana Restructuring had materialized on September 30, 2004, we would have held the equivalent of approximately 12% ownership interest in ADML Holdco (exclusive of the anticipated final disbursement in the fourth quarter of 2004). Also, we had concluded that because of the additional investment in July 2004, and additional rights obtained through the security granted in connection with the loans, we gained the potential ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of Ohana. Therefore, beginning the third quarter of 2004, the Company accounted for its investment in Ohana under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company included its share of losses of Ohana for the period of July 1, 2004 to December 17, 2004, in the amount of $193, in its consolidated statement of operations for 2004.

The Ohana Restructuring closed on November 16, 2004 and the Company received approximately 14.3% of the issued common shares of ADML Holdco and a warrant that will become exercisable for additional shares of ADML Holdco at one tenth of one penny ($0.001) per share if, and to the extent, that the valuation of Asia Digital Media, as determined by an arm’s length investor contributing a minimum amount of cash for equity in Asia Digital Media is less than the total consideration contributed by ADML Holdco, the Company, and another investor for equity in Asia Digital Media.

In December 2004 ADML Holdco directly subscribed for 60.6% of the share capital of Asia Digital Media in exchange for a contribution of the entire issued share capital of Ohana. However, this transaction was subsequently rescinded on December 27, 2005, when the Company entered into the Rescission Agreement with Asia Digital Media and ADML Holdco to rescind such subscription, resulting in the return of the shares of Asia Digital Media issued to ADML Holdco for cancellation and the corresponding return of the entire issued capital of Ohana to ADML Holdco.

Upon conclusion of the Rescission Agreement, the Company owned approximately 14.3% of the issued share capital of Ohana. The carrying value of this cost investment was $750 at December 31, 2005. The Company has recorded cumulative losses from its investment in Ohana of $750 since the fourth quarter of 2004, including $461 and $193 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a consequence of the Rescission Agreement, there are no additional terms associated with the Company’s investment in ADML Holdco that would impact its accounting for this investment under FIN 46 (R), the Company has no further commitments or other arrangements to provide funding for any shortfalls ADML Holdco may incur, and there are no variable interests with respect to ADML Holdco, other than its common stock interest of 14.3%.

Dr. Anthony E. Hwang, a director of the Company from August 4, 2003 to December 27, 2005, was interim Chief Executive Officer of Ohana at the time of the September 2003 Loan Agreement through to March 1, 2004. Dr. Hwang was also a director of Ohana from August 4, 2003 through March 31, 2004.

Dr. Hwang and his family members own a controlling interest in Fil-Fibers Manufacturing Inc., Ltd. (“Fil-Fibers”).

Fil-Fibers was both a creditor and shareholder in Ohana immediately prior to the Ohana Restructuring. After the Ohana Restructuring, Fil-Fibers was a minority shareholder in ADML Holdco.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company was informed of an Ohana re-financing, which coupled with the changes in the business outlook, led the Company to conclude that the expectations for Ohana had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of the Company’s equity ownership. As a result, the Company recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment of its investment in Ohana of $659. No amount of the charge will result in future cash expenditures. After this impairment, the remaining carrying value of the Company’s investment in Ohana at June 30, 2006 was $91.

NOTE 5. ASIA DIGITAL MEDIA JOINT VENTURE

On September 16, 2004, the Company and certain other investors agreed to subscribe for shares in a newly formed joint venture called Asia Digital Media pursuant to a subscription agreement (as amended, the “Subscription Agreement”). The investment closed on December 17, 2004.

The parties agreed that: (i) the Company would directly subscribe for approximately 16.7% of the share capital of Asia Digital Media in exchange for a cash contribution of $2,000 and in-kind contribution of $1,300, both of which, after intercompany profit eliminations, aggregated to $3,088; (ii) ADML Holdco, in which the Company held a 14.3% ownership interest, would directly subscribe for 60.6% of the share capital of Asia Digital Media in exchange for a contribution of the entire issued share capital of Ohana; and (iii) the remaining capital stock of Asia Digital Media would be owned by two investors and China Aerospace New World Technology Limited (“CANW”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong, in exchange for cash and/or in-kind contributions.

After the closing, the Company’s total direct and indirect equity holdings in Asia Digital Media were approximately 25.3%. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company received additional shares of common stock of Asia Digital Media as reimbursement for legal costs incurred by the Company on behalf of Asia Digital Media during its formation and for administrative services provided by the Company. These additional shares were valued at $458 and resulted in an increase of the Company’s total direct and indirect equity holdings in Asia Digital Media to 27.4% at June 30, 2005.

Dr. Anthony E. Hwang, a former director of the Company, and Mr. F. William Conner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, became directors of Asia Digital Media on December 17, 2004. Dr. Hwang subsequently resigned from the Board of Directors of Entrust, Inc. effective November 17, 2005. Concurrently with this resignation, Mr. Conner resigned as a director of Asia Digital Media effective November 18, 2005.

On December 27, 2005, the Company entered into the Rescission Agreement with Asia Digital Media and ADML Holdco to rescind the Subscription Agreement in part, resulting in the return of the shares of Asia Digital Media issued to ADML Holdco for cancellation and the corresponding return of the entire issued capital of Ohana to ADML Holdco. In addition, Dr. Hwang resigned as a director of Asia Digital Media. Upon conclusion of the Rescission Agreement, the Company owned approximately 44% of the issued share capital of Asia Digital Media. Entrust appointed Mr. James D. Kendry, Vice President and Chief Governance Officer, as a director of Asia Digital Media. After the Rescission Agreement was executed, the Company’s conclusion that Asia Digital Media did not meet the definition of a variable interest entity remained unchanged.

The Company accounts for its investment in Asia Digital Media under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company has included its share of losses of Asia Digital Media, in the amount of $122 and $293, in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $136 and $273 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The Company has recorded cumulative losses through June 30, 2006 from its investment in Asia Digital Media of $959 since its investment in the fourth quarter of 2004.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company was informed of changes in its Chinese partner’s ability to invest in the second funding round of Asia Digital Media. This factor, among others, had significant negative implications for Asia Digital Media. The Company had concluded that expectations for Asia Digital Media had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of the Company’s equity ownership. As a result, the Company recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment of its investment in Asia Digital Media in the amount of $2,357. No amount of the charge will result in future cash expenditures. After this impairment, the remaining carrying value of the Company’s investment in Asia Digital Media at June 30, 2006 was $230.

NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION PLANS

On May 5, 2006 stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The Board adopted the 2006 Plan because it believes that continued grants of stock options, as well as grants of restricted stock and other stock-based awards, are an important element in attracting, retaining and motivating persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company.

The Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the enCommerce, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 1999 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (together, the “Prior Plans”), terminated and no further grants are permitted under the Prior Plans. This termination of the Prior Plans does not affect awards that are outstanding under the Prior Plans.

SFAS No. 123(R) Adoption

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement, over the service period, based on their grant-date fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005 and, therefore, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006, recognizing compensation expense for employee stock awards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective transition method, in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

As previously permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company formerly accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally did not recognize compensation cost for employee stock options. For all options granted to employees in the periods disclosed prior to 2006, the exercise price of each option granted was equal to the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and therefore, no stock-based compensation costs were reflected in earnings for these options.

Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)’s fair value method has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on the Company’s result of operations. The continued impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will depend on levels of share-based awards granted in the future. In general, the annual stock-based compensation expense is expected to decline in future years when compared to the expense reported in prior years in the Company’s pro forma stock-based compensation disclosures. This decline is primarily the result of a change in stock-based compensation strategy as determined by management.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compensation cost of $877 and $1,579, respectively, was recognized for employee stock options, RSUs and SARs. This compensation cost included estimation of expected forfeitures. Forfeiture estimations are based on analysis of historical forfeiture rates.

Table of Contents

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s net loss for the three and six months ending June 30, 2006 is approximately $509 higher and $923 higher, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share based compensation under Opinion 25. Also, the Company’s net loss per share was higher by $0.01 and $0.02 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, than under our previous accounting method for share based compensation. This difference is primarily the addition of the stock option expense and the impact of forfeiture rate estimations for RSUs and SARs.

In addition to ongoing recognition of stock-based compensation expense, the Company recognized a one-time cumulative transition adjustment in the first quarter of 2006. A net reduction of $32 to compensation expense was recorded in the first quarter, related to the effect of estimated forfeitures on outstanding awards. This net reduction is with respect to the compensation cost that would not have been recognized in prior periods had forfeitures been estimated during those periods. This adjustment applies only to compensation cost recognized in fiscal 2005 related to RSU and SAR awards that are unvested at adoption date.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), no unearned deferred compensation expense was recorded for stock-based awards to employees. Compensation costs related to stock based awards are treated as a credit to Additional Paid in Capital in Shareholder’s Equity when the expense is recognized over the requisite service period. Unearned deferred compensation recorded in 2005 of $1,814 related to SARs and RSUs granted in that year had been subsequently reversed in the first quarter of 2006 to comply with the SFAS No. 123(R) provisions which prohibit such practice.

In addition, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123, as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings per share in the following table.

Valuation of Stock Options Granted Prior to the Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)

Under the previous provisions of SFAS No. 123, the fair value of options was estimated, as of the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company believes the inputs and method used to value these options under SFAS No. 123 pro-forma disclosures were reasonable, and hence, no correction to the original fair value estimation has been made to outstanding, unvested, stock options as at January 1, 2006. Under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, input assumptions are determined at the time of option grant and are not adjusted for the life of that grant. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the option fair value calculations.

In the second quarter of 2006, compensation cost of $509 related to unvested options outstanding at January 1, 2006 was recognized. No further stock option grants were made in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Compensation cost of stock options is recognized in accordance with the accelerated method with the cost to be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

The total compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards not yet recognized and the related weighted –average period remaining for stock options is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 11,669 restricted stock units to employees with an average grant date value of $3.32 per unit. Restricted stock units are valued at fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost related to RSUs is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally between two to four years. The total compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs awards not yet recognized, and the related weighted-average requisite service period remaining is as follows:

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)

SARs give the issuer a right to participate in the appreciation of the underlying stock up to a ‘capped’ value of four times the stock price on date of grant. SARs are settled by issuance of common stock.

A total of 75,000 SARs were granted to employees in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, which had a strike price of $3.32 per right, equivalent to the underlying share price on the date of grant. These instruments vest over four years and have a contractual life of seven years.

A total of 132,668 SARs were granted to the members of our Board of Directors in 2005 and have a vesting period of three years and a contractual life of seven years.

The total compensation cost related to these SARs awards not yet recognized is displayed in the following table along with the related weighted-average period remaining.

SFAS No. 123(R) requires stock-based compensation to be determined based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. If the fair value is not readily determinable, a valuation technique that reflects all substantive characteristics of the instrument is required. Management has selected the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of issued SARs. All substantive characteristics of the instrument have been incorporated into the formula, including the ‘capped’ value portion.

Significant input assumptions required to estimate the fair value of SARs include the following:

 

    Expected Term: The SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “simplified” method has been used to determine a weighted average expected term of the instruments granted.

 

    Expected Volatility: The Company has estimated expected volatility based on its actual stock price history over a reasonable period of time.

The following weighted average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of issued SARs.

Stock Award Plans Summary of Activity

On March 15, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions, subject to stockholder approval, to approve entry into the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The plan was approved at the annual shareholders meeting held May 5, 2006. The Board adopted the 2006 Plan because it believes that continued grants of stock options, as well as grants of restricted stock and other stock-based awards, are an

important element in attracting, retaining and motivating persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company.

The Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the enCommerce, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 1999 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (together, the “Prior Plans”), will terminate and no further grants will be permitted under the Prior Plans, provided that, this termination of the Prior Plans will not affect awards that are outstanding under the Prior Plans.

Subsequent to the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter, and pursuant to the merger agreement with Business Signatures, the Company assumed the Business Signature’s 2002 Stock Plan, which will provide for options to purchase 1,099,868 shares of the Company’s Common stock, of which 835,622 options are vested, as at the date of acquisition of Business Signatures.

NOTE 7. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On July 29, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of its Common stock. The program has subsequently been extended three times, most recently on July 22, 2005 when the Board of Directors authorized a further extension of this stock repurchase program to permit the purchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock through December 15, 2006. This quantity of shares of Common stock is in addition to the 6,928,640 shares of the Company’s Common stock already purchased under the Company’s stock repurchase program through June 30, 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 298,000 shares of its Common stock for a total cash outlay of $988, at an average price of $3.32 per share, including commissions paid to brokers. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 703,000 shares of its Common stock for a total cash outlay of $2,519, at an average price of $3.58 per share, including commissions paid to brokers. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has repurchased 8,530,124 of the authorized 16,928,640 shares of its Common stock under this program, for a total cash outlay of $33,610, at an average price of $3.94 per share, including commissions paid to brokers.

Repurchases under the stock repurchase program may take place from time to time until December 15, 2006, or an earlier date determined by the Company’s board of directors, in open market, negotiated or block transactions, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company’s management will determine the timing and amount of shares repurchased based on its evaluation of market and business

conditions. The repurchased shares will be considered authorized but unissued shares of the Company and will be available for issuance under the Company’s stock incentive, employee stock purchase and other stock benefit plans, and for general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions. The stock repurchase program will be funded using the Company’s working capital.

NOTE 8. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, generally, does not require collateral from its customers to support accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts due to credit risk; to provide adequate protection against estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The Company bases its ongoing estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts primarily on the aging of balances in its accounts receivable, historical collection patterns and changes in the creditworthiness of its customers. Based upon this analysis, the Company records an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts when the prospect of collecting a specific account receivable becomes doubtful. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the best information available to the Company and is re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

NOTE 9. ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

May 2003 Restructuring Plan

Following the first quarter of 2003, when the Company’s revenues fell short of its expectations and guidance, management began a re-assessment of the Company’s operations to ensure that expenses were optimally aligned to its customers and markets, and structured such that costs would not exceed revenues by the fourth quarter of 2003.

On May 27, 2003, the Company announced a restructuring plan aimed at lowering costs and better aligning its resources to customer needs. The plan allows the Company to have tighter integration between customer touch functions, which better positions the Company to take advantage of the market opportunities for its new products, and solutions. The restructuring plan included eliminating positions to lower operating costs, closing under-utilized office capacity, and re-assessing the useful life of related excess long-lived assets. The Company also announced non-cash charges related to the impairment of a long-term strategic investment and the impairment of purchased product rights acquired through the enCommerce acquisition of June 2000.

The workforce portion of the restructuring plan included severance and related costs of $4,813 in 2003 for 151 positions from all functional areas of the Company and had been significantly completed by December 31, 2003. The consolidation of under-utilized facilities included costs relating to lease obligations through the first quarter of 2009, primarily from the excess space in the Company’s Santa Clara, California and Addison, Texas facilities, and accelerated amortization of related leaseholds and equipment. The facilities plan was executed by September 30, 2003 and, as a result, the Company recorded $4,116 of charges during 2003 relating to these facilities, including $1,310 for accelerated amortization on leaseholds and equipment whose estimated useful lives had been impacted by the plan to cease using the

Table of Contents

related excess capacity in the Company’s facilities and $2,806 for lease obligations related to excess capacity at Company locations for which the cease-use date occurred during 2003. The total amount of the workforce and facilities charges was $8,929.

The Company has evaluated and pursued all reasonable possibilities to settle the lease obligations associated with the May 2003 restructuring, but has been unable to find an acceptable outcome. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it is appropriate to classify the portion of the outstanding liabilities that is not payable within the next 12 months as long-term liabilities. However, in terms of long-term liquidity requirements, the current obligations would require the Company to fund $100 of its accrued restructuring charges for the May 2003 restructuring before the end of fiscal 2006, with the remaining accrued restructuring charges for the May 2003 restructuring to be paid as follows: $150 in fiscal 2007 and $150 in fiscal 2008.

June 2001 Restructuring Plan

On June 4, 2001, the Company announced a Board-approved restructuring plan to refocus on the Company’s most significant market opportunities and to reduce operating costs due to the macroeconomic factors that were negatively affecting technology investment in the market. The restructuring plan included a workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, and discontinuance of non-core products and programs.

The workforce portion of the restructuring plan was largely completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2001 and primarily related to severance costs, fringe benefits due to severed employees and outplacement services.

The consolidation of excess facilities included the closure of eight offices throughout the world, but the majority of the costs related to the Company’s facility in Santa Clara, California. These costs are payable contractually over the remaining term of the Santa Clara facility lease, which runs through 2011, reduced by estimated sublease recoveries. The discontinuance of non-core products and programs was primarily related to the discontinuance of certain of the Company’s business program initiatives and certain applications that had not achieved their growth and profitability objectives. In addition, the Company withdrew from certain committed marketing events and programs. The cash outflow related to the majority of these discontinued products and programs was substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2002, while remaining marketing and distribution agreement obligations related to certain discontinued products were settled in the third quarter of 2003. The Company had initiated all actions required by the restructuring plan by the end of the second quarter of 2002.

During the first and second quarters of 2006, the Company made further adjustments to the restructuring charges that had previously been recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to our Santa Clara, California facility. The building is currently subleased, but the current sublease was scheduled to end in December 2006. Although the Company had been monitoring the sublet market on an on-going basis, the extension offer it received during the first quarter of

2006, coupled with the preparations the Company had begun for placing the facility on the market, caused the Company to revisit its estimated sublease recoveries at that time. The Company had concluded that it would need to increase the restructuring charges that it had previously recorded related to its June 2001 restructuring plan by a further $2,895 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to reflect a change in the Company’s projected sublet lease recoveries as evidenced by the market for leased facilities in that region. This charge represented a reduction in the cash that the Company expected to recover from future subtenants. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company concluded an extension agreement with the current sublessee to sublease the California facility through to March 31, 2011, which represents substantially all of the remaining lease period on the building. As a result of the conclusion of the final sublease arrangement during the second quarter of 2006, the Company adjusted its accrual related to the June 2001 restructuring downward by $130 to reflect the known sublet lease recoveries under the extension agreement. These adjustments have been charged to the restructuring charges line in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has evaluated and pursued all reasonable possibilities to settle the lease obligations associated with the June 2001 restructuring, but has been unable to find an acceptable outcome. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it is appropriate to classify the portion of the outstanding liabilities that is not payable within the next 12 months to long-term liabilities. However, the current obligations would require the Company to fund $2,000 of its accrued restructuring charges for the June 2001 restructuring before the end of fiscal 2006, with the remaining accrued restructuring charges for the June 2001 restructuring to be paid as follows: $5,300 in fiscal 2007, $5,300 in fiscal 2008, $5,500 in fiscal 2009 and $8,300 in fiscal 2010 and beyond.

Summary of Accrued Restructuring Charges for June 2001 Restructuring

The following table is a summary of the accrued restructuring charges related to the June 2001 plan at June 30, 2006:

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had estimated a total of $13,500 of sublease recoveries in our restructuring accrual. Of this amount, $13,400 is related to the Santa Clara facility. In addition, $13,400 of the $13,500 is recoverable under existing sublease agreements, with only approximately $100 of rent recoveries being based on estimates that may be subject to adjustments based upon changes in the real estate sublet markets.

NOTE 10. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE AND SHARES OUTSTANDING

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common stock of all classes outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common stock and potential Common stock outstanding, and when dilutive, options to purchase Common stock using the treasury stock method. The options to purchase Common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect is antidilutive. The antidilutive effect excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation related to options to purchase Common stock under the treasury stock method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was 881,120 and 244,318 shares, respectively, compared to a dilutive effect of 1,290,663 and 1,158,971 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, which increased the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share. In addition, 8,657,847 and 8,838,350 out-of-the-money exercisable options that had exercise prices in excess of the average market price for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with the treasury stock method.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 108,257 and 394,603 shares of Common stock, respectively, related to the exercise of employee stock options.

NOTE 11. MARKETABLE AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

The Company maintains marketable investments mainly in a strategic cash management account. This account is invested primarily in highly rated corporate securities, in securities guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and highly rated municipal bonds, primarily with a remaining maturity of not more than 24 months. The Company has the intent and ability to hold all of these investments until maturity. Therefore, all such investments are classified as held to maturity investments, and are stated at amortized cost. At June 30, 2006, the amortized cost of the Company’s held to maturity investments approximated fair value. Based on contractual maturities, these marketable investments were classified in either current assets or long-term assets.

The Company holds equity securities stated at cost, which represent long-term investments in private companies made in 2000 and 2001 for business and strategic alliance purposes. The Company’s ownership share in these companies ranges from 1% to 10% of the outstanding voting share capital. The strategic investments made in 2000 and 2001 had no net remaining carrying value at June 30, 2006. The Company monitors and assesses the ongoing operating performance of the underlying companies for evidence of impairment. Since 2001, the Company has recorded impairments totaling $14,818 with respect to these investments as a result of other than temporary declines in fair value. In addition, the Company holds an investment recorded at cost in ADML Holdings, Ltd., and its affiliate, Ohana Wireless, Inc. (collectively, “Ohana”), which at June 30, 2006 represented approximately 14% of the voting share capital of Ohana.

The Company also holds an equity interest in Asia Digital Media, which at June 30, 2006 represented approximately 44% of the voting share capital of this company. This investment is accounted for by the Company using the equity method of accounting for investments in common stock. See Notes 4 and 5 for additional discussion.

The Company recorded no revenues from Asia Digital Media for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Revenues recorded by the Company from Asia Digital Media represented less than 1% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

The Company did not generate any sales with companies in which it has made strategic equity investments recorded at cost in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

NOTE 14. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Part 1. Item 3. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings in that earlier Report remain outstanding.

NOTE 15. CONTINGENCIES

Entrust entered into a contract with the General Services Administration (“GSA”) on March 31, 2000. It had come to the Company’s attention that it might have a potential liability to the GSA under this contract, and the Company has advised the GSA of this matter. The Company conducted a self-assessment of its compliance and internal processes with respect to the agreement, as well as the pricing requirements of the agreement, which was completed in September 2004. The Company estimated its probable minimum liability at $352 and accrued this estimated amount in 2003. The results of the Company’s self-assessment indicate that the liability is not significantly different from its estimate in 2003. Payment of the amount of this liability has now been made to the GSA, but is subject to audit.

NOTE 16. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN No. 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The provisions of FIN No. 48 will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including without limitation statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us, up to and including, the date of this document, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below under “Overview” and “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a global provider of software that secures digital identities and information. Over 1,500 enterprises and government agencies in more than 50 countries use our solutions to help secure the digital lives of their citizens, customers, employees and partners. Our proven software and services can help customers achieve regulatory and corporate compliance, while helping to turn security challenges such as identity theft and e-mail security into business opportunities.

We conduct business in one operating segment. We develop, market and sell software solutions that secure digital identities and information. We also perform professional services to install, support and integrate our software solutions with other applications. All of these activities may be fulfilled in conjunction with partners and are managed through our global organization.

As an innovator and pioneer in the Internet security field, Entrust’s market leadership and expertise in delivering award-winning identity and data protection management software solutions is demonstrated by the diversity of its products, geographic representation, and customer segments. We continue to drive revenue in our key products.

On July 19, 2006 we acquired Business Signatures. Business Signatures is a leading provider of Zero Touch Real Time fraud detection solutions. Unlike other fraud detection solutions, the Business Signatures eFraud™ product provides a real time fraud detection capability that requires no changes to the business application. Organizations rapidly can deploy the solution and begin passively monitoring user activity—quickly identifying and responding to suspicious behavior. This also allows for sophisticated fraud analytics to be performed to identify and respond to evolving threats. The zero touch nature of the eFraud product helps allow organizations to take advantage of these capabilities in a fraction of the time compared to other approaches.

By the end of the year, financial institutions in the United States have to offer stronger security measures for online customers according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s (FFIEC) guidance. The addition of Business Signatures eFraud product combined with our Entrust IdentityGuard platform gives us one of the most complete set of solutions on the market. Customers now have the flexibility to meet the FFIEC guidance with either our fraud solution or stronger authentication solutions. They can then utilize additional capabilities from Entrust to add additional security in the future. This combined offering makes us one of the best positioned company’s to help banks and financial institutions meet the looming FFIEC deadlines.

We expect Business Signatures to add in the range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million in revenue over the remainder of 2006 and targets approximately $10.0 million in revenue over the next twelve months. The revenue projections include product revenue, which can be purchased both perpetual or as subscription, and

services revenue from professional services and annual support and maintenance agreements. In addition, we anticipate that the acquisition will be dilutive in 2006 and will be accretive in 2007.

With the addition of Business Signatures, Entrust now has three key platforms, Authentication, Fraud and Information Protection. We now have a unique end-to-end platform for securing digital identities and information. This end-to-end software platform is easy to implement, user friendly and cost effective with the ability to evolve over time to grow with our customers needs.

Product Category Financial Metrics:

 

    Emerging products (IdentityGuard, Boundary Messaging, and Fraud) accounted for $1.2 million, or 17% of product revenue, up 106% from $0.6 million in Q2, 2005. (Fraud was acquired in July, 2006 and is not included in Q2, 2006 results).

 

    PKI products accounted for $5.8 million, or 78% of product revenue, down 26% from $7.8 million in Q2, 2005.

 

    Single sign-on products accounted for $0.4 million, or 5% of product revenue, down 63% from $1.0 million in Q2, 2005.

We also provide support services and professional services, including architecture, installation, and integration services related to the products that we sell. These services represent a significant portion of our revenues, but are closely related to the demand for our products. In addition, the margins on our products are significantly higher than margins on our services. As a result, we are primarily focused on growing our product revenues.

Entrust sells its solutions globally, with an emphasis on North America, Europe and Asia. These primary areas have demonstrated the most potential for early adoption of the broadest set of Entrust solutions. Entrust extends to other non-core geographies through strategic partner relationships, which increases the leverage of our direct sales channel worldwide. In North America, Entrust is targeting a return to revenue growth in its software business by leveraging Entrust’s historical strength in selling to key verticals such as government (Federal, State, Provincial), financial services and healthcare organizations. Europe is a region where Entrust’s products and solutions continue to experience strong demand and we believe that the European market will provide growth, with increased momentum from governments and enterprises leveraging Entrust’s solutions to transform their business processes and to leverage the Internet and networking applications.

We market and sell our products and services in both the enterprise and government market space. In the second quarter of 2006, 43% of our product sales were in our extended government vertical market, which includes healthcare. This revenue has been driven by key global projects that have started to increase product purchases. In the extended government vertical market, we have a strong penetration in the U.S. Federal government, the governments of Canada, Singapore, Denmark, the United Kingdom and across continental Europe. Our largest product transaction in the quarter was with the U.S. Federal government for our Public Key technology.

One of the key areas of government spending has been for National ID programs. We have experienced success in these initiatives with our digital certificate technology. We won the Spanish National ID Card in Q2, 2005. We continued our success by winning the National ID Card for a Middle Eastern Government in Q1, 2006. This government bought the initial infrastructure and will buy licenses on deployment. As governments continue to increase spending on e-government initiatives and information security projects, we are well positioned to help them.

In the second quarter of 2006, 57% of our product sales were in our extended enterprise vertical market. We continue to see demand from global enterprises as they continue to respond to regulatory and governance compliance demands and extend their internal and external networks to more and more individuals inside and outside their domain. We have experienced a change in the shape of many enterprise deals. Specifically, Enterprises are buying for their immediate need and then adding to their purchases as the projects begin roll out.

A key driver of our product growth has been the recent spotlight on identity theft due to breaches at companies like Choicepoint and LexisNexis. These breaches have proven that self-regulation over the past few years has been insufficient at addressing the underlying issues. Recent legislation has addressed these concerns. California S.B. 1386 has cast more visibility on the issue for citizens, corporations, and the government. The law requires both corporations and the government to notify California residents if their sensitive data has been breached unless encryption technology is deployed. Additionally, 21 other states have now passed breach notification requirements, and another 17 states have legislation waiting to be enacted. On a national level, bills are being written to protect citizens from identity theft and alert them if their information has been stolen.

Entrust for years has been a leader in secure digital identities and information. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we introduced IdentityGuard which is our easy-to-use second factor of authentication. We now have 183 pilots under way for IdentityGuard. In Q2 2006, IdentityGuard accounted for $0.7 million dollars of product revenue. IdentityGuard’s low cost relative to hardware, its simplicity for the mass market, and its effectiveness in countering online theft and phishing, are the key drivers for the increased revenue growth we are experiencing. Along with the revenue growth for second factor authentication, we are also seeing customers increasingly interested in data protection and encryption. With a combination of Entrust IdentityGuard, GetAccess and TruePass, customers can accomplish authentication and role based access control, digital signature, and encryption from one solution provider.

Entrust has a goal to develop new channels to market, in addition to our direct sales force. In the second quarter of 2005, our largest deal was through our partnership with SIA, with whom we won the national ID card. Our largest IdentityGuard transaction in the second quarter and the third quarter of 2005, were also with strategic regional distribution partners. In Q2, 2006, seven of our seventy-one transactions were fulfilled through partners, helping us generate 9% of our product revenue in the quarter. This success was driven by U.S. distribution partners, which now totals 52 in the TrustedPartner Program.

In March 2006, Entrust introduced a Managed PKI service. This service was launched in May 2006 in response to customer requests for Entrust to offer a hosted service to give them a choice between a service offering for PKI certificates and our traditional PKI software purchase option. Our service offering is designed to help enterprises and government agencies grow and accelerate their core business security, without having to develop PKI expertise internally. Our managed service offering will allow our customers the flexibility to now have our market leading technology delivered in an outsourced service model. This is not our first entrance into the services arena. We have been helping our customers for years design, deploy and manage our solutions. We have also been successful in growing our SSL certificate business by almost 25% year-over-year. Our new Managed PKI Service offering will give us access to a new market of customers that can help us drive both additional license revenue, as well as new ratable services revenues.

Entrust relies significantly on large deals in each quarter. Our software revenue from our top five customers in Q2, 2006 was approximately 13% of our total revenue in that quarter and we had one product deal over $1 million. This was within our historical range, which is generally between 10% and 25% of revenue from the top five customers and zero to four transactions over $1 million. We continue to be impacted from time to time on our software revenue by the timing of our customers buying process, which may include proof of concepts, senior management reviews and budget delays that sometimes results in longer than anticipated sales cycles. We are also impacted by our customers’ recent buying behavior, which is to buy only for immediate need as opposed to making a larger purchase in order to get a better discount. Any of these factors may impact our revenue on a quarterly basis.

Our management uses the following metrics to measure performance:

 

    Number and average size of product revenue transactions;

 

    Number of deals over $1 million;

 

    Top-five product revenue transactions as a percentage of total revenues;

 

    Product revenue split between extended enterprise and extended government verticals;

 

    Product revenue split between three key product areas: Emerging Growth Products, Public Key Infrastructure and Single Sign-on;

 

    Geographic revenue split;

 

    Product and services revenues as a percentage of total revenues;

 

    Gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues; and

 

    Deferred revenue, cash and marketable investment balances.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

During the second quarter of 2006, we continued our strategy of focusing on core vertical and geographic markets. Revenues of $22.1 million represented an 11% decrease from the second quarter of 2005, and consisted of 33% product sales and 67% services and maintenance. Services and maintenance revenues decreased 5% from the second quarter of 2005, due to decreased demand for both consulting services and support and maintenance services, while product revenues decreased 21% from the second quarter of 2005, driven by a reduced product transaction closure rate and lower average purchase value compared to the same quarter of 2005. Net loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per share for the same period of 2005, with total expenses increasing 1% to $23.9 million. We generated $0.2 million in cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2006, compared to net cash used in operations of $3.0 million in the same quarter of 2005. Entrust Emerging Growth Products accounted for 17% of product revenue, which is an increase of 100% from Q2, 2005 and an increase of 20% from Q1, 2006. Entrust PKI Products accounted for 78% of product revenue, which is a decrease of 26% from Q2, 2005 and an increase of 12% from Q1, 2006. Entrust Certificate Services revenues, a component of our PKI Product solutions suite, increased 27% over Q2, 2005 and 8% over Q1, 2006. Entrust Single Sign-On Products accounted for 5% of product revenue, which is a decrease of 60% from Q2, 2005 and a decrease of 20% from Q1, 2006. Extended Government accounted for 43% and Extended Enterprise accounted for 57% of the product revenue in the quarter. The financial vertical accounted for approximately 27% of second quarter 2006 product revenues, an increase of 82% over Q2, 2005, driven by increased demand for strong authentication.

Other highlights from the second quarter of 2006 included:

 

    The top five product transactions accounted for 13% of Q2, 2006 revenues. We had one product deal over $1 million. The average purchase size this quarter was $82,000, down from $104,000 in Q2, 2005 and $85,000 in Q1, 2006. Total transactions in Q2, 2006 were 70, which is down from 77 in Q2, 2005, and up from 59 in Q1, 2006. Eighteen (or 26%) of the transactions were from new customers.

 

    Our new products IdentityGuard and Boundary Messaging represented 17% of total product revenue, or $1.2 million for Q2, 2006, compared to 6% of total product revenue or $0.6 million for Q2, 2005. IdentityGuard transactions were 15 this quarter, up from 6 in Q2, 2005. IdentityGuard pilots and trials reached 189, up from 134 in Q1, 2006 and up from 27 in Q2, 2005.

 

    Entrust Certificate Services achieved its 15th consecutive quarter of revenue growth in the second quarter of 2006.

 

    Deferred revenue was $23.0 million, which is a decrease of 4% from Q2, 2005 and a decrease of 2% from Q1, 2006.

 

    As part of our share purchase program, we purchased 298 thousand shares in the second quarter of 2006 for $1.0 million at an average share price of $3.32.

 

    We ended Q2, 2006 with $74.7 million in cash and marketable securities and no debt.

 

    We launched the next version of our flexible multi-factor authentication platform, Entrust IdentityGuard 8.1. The new features included support for token-based authentication, expanded Microsoft desktop security support and key platform and application server support for increased deployment flexibility.

 

    We announced the opening of our Entrust IdentityGuard multi-factor authentication platform to support additional third-party authentication technologies. The first third party announcement was with Vasco to integrate Digipass with the Entrust IdentityGuard platform.

 

    We acquired Orion Security Solutions, a leading supplier of PKI to defense-related governmental agencies. As we are already a leader in providing identity and information security to the United States civilian government agencies, this acquisition adds key defense agencies to the Entrust customer base.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the second quarter of 2006, our most complex accounting judgments were made in the areas of software revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, restructuring charges and related adjustments, accounting for long-term strategic and equity investments, purchase accounting, the provision for income taxes and stock-based compensation. The restructuring and related charges are not anticipated to be recurring in nature. However, the financial reporting of restructuring and related charges will continue to require judgments until such time as the corresponding accruals are fully paid out and/or no longer required. Software revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for long-term strategic and equity investments, purchase accounting, provision for income taxes and stock-based compensation are expected to continue to be ongoing elements of our critical accounting processes and judgments.

Software Revenue Recognition

With respect to software revenue recognition, we recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” and related accounting guidance and pronouncements. Due to the complexity of some software license agreements, we routinely apply judgments to the application of software revenue recognition accounting principles to specific agreements and transactions. We analyze various factors, including a review of the specifics of each transaction, historical experience, credit worthiness of customers and current market and economic conditions. Changes in judgments based upon these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenues and cost recognized. Different judgments and/or different contract structures could lead to different accounting conclusions, which could have a material effect on our reported earnings.

Revenues from perpetual software license agreements are recognized when we have received an executed license agreement or an unconditional order under an existing license agreement, the software has been shipped (if there are no significant remaining vendor obligations), collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, the fees are fixed and determinable and payment is due within twelve months. Revenues from license agreements requiring the delivery of significant unspecified software products in the future are accounted for as subscriptions and, accordingly, are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement from the first instance of product delivery. License revenues are generated both through direct sales to end users as well as through various partners, including system integrators, value-added resellers and distributors. License revenue is recognized when the sale has occurred for an identified end user, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. We are notified of a sale by a reseller to the end user customer in the same period that the product is actually sold through to the end user customer. We do not offer a right of return on sales of our software products.

For all sales, we use a binding contract, purchase order or another form of documented agreement as evidence of an arrangement with the customer. Sales to our distributors are evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship, together with binding purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. We consider delivery to occur when we ship the product, so long as title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. If an arrangement includes undelivered products or services that are essential to the functionality of the delivered product, delivery is not considered to have occurred until these products or services are delivered.

At the time of a transaction, we assess whether the sale amount is fixed or determinable based upon the terms of the documented agreement. If we determine the fee is not fixed or determinable at the outset, we recognize revenue when the fee becomes fixed and determinable. We assess if collection is reasonably assured based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the

creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we do not record revenue until such time as collection becomes probable, which is generally upon the receipt of cash.

We do not generally include acceptance provisions in arrangements with customers. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, we recognize revenue upon the customer’s acceptance of the product, which occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

We are sometimes subject to fiscal funding clauses in our software licensing transactions with the United States government and its agencies. Such clauses generally provide that the license is cancelable if the legislature or funding authority does not appropriate the funds necessary for the governmental unit to fulfill its obligations under the licensing arrangement. In these circumstances, software licensing arrangements with governmental organizations containing a fiscal funding clause are evaluated to determine whether the uncertainty of a possible license arrangement cancellation is remote. If the likelihood of cancellation is assessed as remote, then the software licensing arrangement is considered non-cancelable and the related software licensing revenue is recognized when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

For arrangements involving multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each component based on the vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the various elements. These elements may include one or more of the following: software licenses, maintenance and support, consulting services and training. We first allocate the arrangement fee, in a multiple-element transaction, to the undelivered elements based on the total fair value of those undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor-specific objective evidence. This portion of the arrangement fee is deferred. Then the difference (residual) between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. We attribute the discount offered in a multiple-element arrangement entirely to the delivered elements of the transaction, which are typically software licenses. Fair values for the future maintenance and support services are based upon substantially similar sales of renewals of maintenance and support contracts to other customers. Fair value of future services, training or consulting services is based upon substantially similar sales of these services to other customers. In some instances, a group of contracts or agreements with the same customer may be so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single multiple-element arrangement, and therefore, we would undertake to allocate the corresponding revenues amongst the various components, as described above.

We generally do not engage in non-monetary transactions.

We also eliminate intercompany profits on revenue transactions with unconsolidated subsidiaries that are accounted for under the equity method to the extent of our ownership interest in that related party, if the product and/or services have not been sold through to an unrelated third party end-user customer.

Our consulting services generally are not essential to the functionality of the software. Our software products are fully functional upon delivery and do not require any significant modification or alteration. Customers purchase these consulting services to facilitate the adoption of our technology and dedicate personnel to participate in the services being performed, but they may also decide to use their own resources or appoint other consulting service organizations to provide these services. When the customization is essential to the functionality of the licensed software, then both the software license and consulting services revenues are recognized under the percentage of completion method, which requires revenue to be recognized based upon the percentage of work effort completed on the project.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain doubtful accounts allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We assess collection based on a number of factors, including previous transactions with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers.

 

24


Table of Contents

We base our ongoing estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts primarily on the aging of the balances in the accounts receivable, our historical collection patterns and changes in the creditworthiness of our customers. Based upon the analysis and estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable, we record an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts when the prospect of not collecting a specific account receivable becomes probable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the best information available to us and is re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. We exhaust all avenues and methods of collection, including the use of third party collection agencies, before writing-off a customer balance as uncollectible. While credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Each circumstance in which we conclude that a provision for non-payment by a customer may be required must be carefully considered in order to determine the true factors leading to that potential non-payment to ensure that it is proper for it to be categorized as an allowance for bad debts. We have focused on improving our accounts receivable aging and, as a result, had been able to reduce our corresponding allowance for doubtful accounts in 2004 and 2005 in the process. However, a significant change in the financial condition of a major customer could have a material impact on our estimates regarding the sufficiency of our allowance. Our accounts receivable include material balances from a limited number of customers, with five customers accounting for 23% of gross accounts receivable at June 30, 2006, compared to 41% of gross accounts receivable at June 30, 2005. One customer accounted for 9% of net accounts receivable at June 30, 2006. For more information on our customer concentration, see our related discussion in “Risk Factors”. Therefore, changes in the assumptions underlying this assessment or changes in the financial condition of our customers, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, and the timing of information related to the change in financial condition could result in a different assessment of the existing credit risk of our accounts receivable and thus, a different required allowance, which could have a material impact on our reported earnings.

During the first half of 2006, we became aware of financial concerns regarding one of our European distributors and, as a result, we concluded that it was necessary to record an increase to our provision for doubtful accounts in the aggregate amount of $495 thousand in the quarter, as a charge against sales and marketing expenses.

Restructuring Charges and Adjustments

June 2001 Restructuring Plan

On June 4, 2001, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a restructuring plan to refocus on the most significant market opportunities and to reduce operating costs due to the macroeconomic factors that were negatively affecting technology investment in the market. The restructuring plan included a workforce reduction, consolidation of excess facilities, and discontinuance of non-core products and programs.

As a result of the restructuring plan and the impact of macroeconomic conditions on us and our global base of customers, we recorded restructuring charges of $65.5 million in the second quarter of 2001, with a subsequent reduction of $1.1 million in the first half of 2002. In the second quarter of 2003, we made a further adjustment to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan by $6.7 million to reflect a change in our projected sublet lease recoveries for our Santa Clara, California facility. We concluded that this was required as a result of our realization that the market for leased facilities in that region will not recover in the timeframe that we had estimated, as evidenced by significantly lower projected sublease rates for our facility as supplied to us by our external real estate advisors. We also recorded a $2.1 million reduction to our June 2001 restructuring accrual in the third quarter of 2003, as a result of the July 2003 settlement of an existing contractual obligation under a marketing and distribution agreement, at a value significantly less than the full accrued obligation.

During the first and second quarters of 2006, we made further adjustments to the restructuring charges that had previously been recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to our Santa Clara, California facility. The building is currently subleased, but the current sublease was scheduled to end in December 2006.

 

25


Table of Contents

Although we had been monitoring the sublet market on an on-going basis, the extension offer we received during the first quarter of 2006, coupled with the preparations we had begun for placing the facility on the market, caused us to revisit our estimated sublease recoveries at that time. We had concluded that we would need to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to our June 2001 restructuring plan by a further $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to reflect a change in our projected sublet lease recoveries as evidenced by the market for leased facilities in that region. This charge represented a reduction in the cash that we expected to recover from future subtenants. During the second quarter of 2006, we concluded an extension agreement with the current sublessee to sublease the California facility through to March 31, 2011, which represents substantially all of the remaining lease period on the building. As a result of the conclusion of the final sublease arrangement during the second quarter of 2006, we adjusted our accrual related to the June 2001 restructuring downward by $130 thousand to reflect the known sublet lease recoveries under the extension agreement.

Our assessment required assumptions in estimating the original accrued restructuring charges of $65.5 million at June 30, 2001, including estimating future recoveries of sublet income from excess facilities, liabilities from employee severances, and costs to exit business activities. Changes in these assessments with respect to the accrued restructuring charges for the June 2001 restructuring program, particularly the estimation of sublease income for restructured facilities, of $26.4 million at June 30, 2006, could have a material effect on our reported results, as actual results could vary from these assumptions and estimates. As at June 30, 2006, due to the conclusion of the extension agreement with the subtenant in connection with our California facility, the remaining estimated sublease recoveries included in our restructuring accrual, that are not currently contracted under existing sublease agreements, amounted to only approximately $100 thousand.

The restructuring plan announced on June 4, 2001 was completed by June 2002. No further charges are anticipated. However, actual results could vary from the currently recorded estimates.

May 2003 Restructuring Plan

On May 27, 2003, we announced a restructuring plan aimed at lowering costs and better aligning our resources to customer needs. The plan allows us to have tighter integration between the groups in our organization that interact with customers, which better positions us to take advantage of the market opportunities for our new products. The restructuring plan included the elimination of employee positions to lower operating costs, closing of under-utilized office space, and re-assessing the value of related excess long-lived assets.

Our assessment required assumptions in estimating the restructuring charges of $8.9 million, including estimating liabilities related to employee severance, future recoveries of sublet income from excess facilities, and other costs to exit activities. Changes in these assessments with respect to the accrued restructuring charges for the May 2003 restructuring plan of $0.4 million at June 30, 2006 could have a material effect on our reported results. In addition, actual results could vary from these assumptions and estimates, in particular with regard to the sublet of excess facilities, resulting in an adjustment that could have a material effect on our future financial results. Our accrual related to the May 2003 restructuring at June 30, 2006 includes a total of $0.3 million of estimated sublease recoveries, which may be subject to adjustment based upon changes in the real estate sublet markets.

The restructuring plan announced on May 27, 2003 was completed by December 31, 2003. No further changes are anticipated. However, actual results could vary from the currently recorded estimates.

Accounting for Long-term Strategic Investments

We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of strategic investments on an on-going basis, but at least annually. Factors that we consider important in determining whether an assessment is warranted and could trigger impairment include, but are not limited to, the likelihood that the company in which we invested would have insufficient cash flows to operate for the next twelve months, significant changes in the company’s operating performance or business model and changes in overall market conditions. These investments are in private companies, of which we typically own less than 10% of the outstanding stock. We account for these investments under the cost method. Because there is not a liquid market for these securities, we often must make estimates of the value of our investments.

Table of Contents

As a result of the Rescission Agreement discussed in the next section, as of December 31, 2005, we held an investment in Ohana, in the amount of $750 thousand, representing approximately 14.3% of the issued common shares of Ohana. This investment is now accounted for under the cost method. By December 31, 2005, we had recorded cumulative losses related to our $1.5 million investment in Ohana of $750 thousand since the fourth quarter of 2004.

During the first quarter of 2006, we were informed of an Ohana re-financing, which coupled with the changes in the business outlook, led us to conclude that the expectations for Ohana had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of our equity ownership. As a result, we recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment of our investment in Ohana of $659 thousand. No amount of the charge will result in future cash expenditures. After this impairment, the remaining carrying value of our investment in Ohana was $91 thousand at June 30, 2006.

Accounting for Long-term Equity Investments

We held $2.9 million of investments as of December 31, 2005 that we account for under the equity basis of accounting, which represent our equity ownership in Asia Digital Media. Asia Digital Media is a joint venture, involving us and several other investors, formed for the purpose of delivering secure technology solutions enabling HDTV satellite broadcasting, high-speed internet and on-line transaction services to the Chinese market.

Our investment in Asia Digital Media began as a loan to Ohana of $650 thousand in 2003, which was convertible into equity of Ohana. In the second quarter of 2004 this was increased to $950 thousand. In July 2004, this loan was further increased to $1.225 million. This amount was further increased to $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. We determined that the loan was unlikely to be repaid but rather expected it to be converted into equity in ADML Holdings, Ltd. (“ADML Holdco”), once Ohana became a wholly owned subsidiary of ADML Holdco in connection with the Ohana Restructuring. On an as-converted basis at September 30, 2004, we would have owned approximately 12% of ADML Holdco (exclusive of the anticipated final disbursement in the fourth quarter of 2004). Beginning the third quarter of 2004, we had accounted for our investment in Ohana under the equity method, in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” and ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Accordingly, we included our share of post-acquisition losses of Ohana, prior to the Ohana Restructuring, in the amount of $193 thousand in our consolidated net income for the 2004 fiscal year. The Ohana Restructuring closed on November 16, 2004 and we received approximately 14.3% of the issued common shares of ADML Holdco, together with a warrant that may become exercisable for additional shares of ADML Holdco upon the happening of certain events.

On September 16, 2004, the Company and certain other investors agreed to subscribe for shares in a newly formed joint venture called Asia Digital Media pursuant to a subscription agreement (as amended, the “Subscription Agreement”). The investment closed on December 17, 2004. We directly subscribed for approximately 16.7% of the share capital of Asia Digital Media in exchange for a cash contribution of $2.0 million and in-kind contributions of software products and professional services totaling $1.3 million. Of this amount, $1.1 million was recorded on account of the in-kind contributions as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2004, net of intercompany profit eliminations. Also, ADML Holdco, in which we held an approximate 14.3% ownership interest for our $1.5 million investment, directly subscribed for 60.6% of the share capital of Asia Digital Media in exchange for a contribution of the entire issued share capital of Ohana. The remaining capital stock of Asia Digital Media is owned by two investors and China Aerospace New World Technology Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong. During the first quarter of 2005, we received additional shares of common stock of Asia Digital Media in reimbursement for legal costs incurred by us on behalf of Asia Digital Media during its formation and for administrative services that we provided. These additional shares were valued at $458 thousand and resulted in an increase of our total direct and indirect equity holdings in Asia Digital Media to 27.4% as of September 30, 2005.

On December 27, 2005, we entered into the Rescission Agreement with Asia Digital Media and ADML Holdco to rescind the Subscription Agreement in part, resulting in the return of the shares of Asia Digital Media issued to ADML Holdco for cancellation and the corresponding return of the entire issued capital of Ohana to ADML Holdco. Upon conclusion of the procedures required to give effect to the Rescission Agreement, we owned approximately 44% of the issued share capital of Asia Digital Media and approximately 14.3% of the issued share capital of Ohana.

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2004, we have accounted for our investment in Asia Digital Media under the equity method. Accordingly, we have included our share of post-acquisition losses of Asia Digital Media, in the amount of $122 and $293 thousand in the first three and six months of 2006, respectively, and a cumulative $959 thousand in our consolidated net income since the fourth quarter of 2004. See notes 4 and 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Upon execution of the Rescission Agreement, we have no commitments or other arrangements to provide funding for any shortfalls ADML Holdco may incur, and there are no variable interests with respect to ADML Holdco, other than its common stock interest of 14.3%. Therefore, FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN No. 46(R)”) is not applicable to this investment.

We have concluded that Asia Digital Media does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity, as described in FIN No. 46(R). As the company began initial operations in December 2004, engaging primarily in research and development, and having no revenue, we determined that Asia Digital Media is a development stage enterprise. Furthermore, the capitalization of Asia Digital Media anticipates raising additional equity to fund the scaled production pilot and commercial roll-out. However, the cash invested in Asia Digital Media by investors of $4.5 million, is expected to be sufficient equity to fund the initial development stage, which is defined as implementation of a pilot system with all specified functions in a limited commercial environment. In addition, we determined that each shareholder of Asia Digital Media shares in the risk of loss and that the shareholders, as a group, share the returns. Finally, we concluded that Asia Digital Media does not operate substantively on behalf of one entity that receives a disproportionately fewer voting rights to avoid consolidation.

During the first quarter of 2006, we were informed of changes in our Chinese partner’s ability to invest in the second funding round of Asia Digital Media. This factor, among others, had significant negative implications for Asia Digital Media. We concluded that expectations for Asia Digital Media had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of our equity ownership. As a result, we recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment of our investment in Asia Digital Media in the amount of $2.4 million. No amount of the charge will result in future cash expenditures. After this impairment, the remaining carrying value of our investment in Asia Digital Media was $230 thousand at June 30, 2006.

Purchase Accounting

In June 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Orion, based in McLean, Virginia, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 15, 2006 (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Orion, and the stockholders of Orion. We acquired all of the common stock of Orion, a privately-held provider of public key infrastructure services to defense-related governmental agencies and other customers, such as the Department of Defense, the United States Marine Corps and the National Security Agency and commercial companies in the healthcare industry, in exchange for $9.0 million in cash and $135 thousand in acquisition-related costs.

This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. In determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, we were required to make significant assumptions and judgments regarding such things as the estimated future cash flows that we believe will be generated as a result of the acquisition of customer relationships and workforce, and the estimated useful life of these acquired intangible assets. We believe that our assumptions and resulting conclusions are the most appropriate based on existing information and market expectations. However, different assumptions

Table of Contents

and judgments as to future events could have resulted in different fair values being allocated to the intangible assets acquired. We will review these assets for impairment in future, in accordance with the guidance in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which require goodwill and intangible assets to be reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Provision for Income Taxes

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including those outside the United States. In addition, we have based the calculation of our income taxes in each jurisdiction upon inter-company agreements, which could be challenged by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The income tax accounting process involves our estimating our actual current exposure in each jurisdiction together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue and accrued restructuring charges, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. We then record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We recorded a valuation allowance of $138.4 million as of June 30, 2006, which offsets deferred income tax assets relating to United States and foreign net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $112.3 million and $26.1 million of deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences. This valuation allowance represents the full value of our deferred tax assets, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets as a result of our recent history of financial losses. Therefore, our balance sheet includes no net deferred tax benefits related to these deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are provided against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the timing of the temporary differences becoming deductible. We consider, among other available information, historical earnings, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and other matters in making this assessment. Until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained, we expect to continue to record a full valuation allowance and will not record any benefit from the deferred tax assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock award program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to contribute to our success by attracting, retaining and motivating talented employees and to align employee interests with the interests of our existing stockholders. Stock based awards may be granted to employees when they first join us, when there is a significant change in an employee’s responsibilities and, occasionally, to achieve equity within a peer group. Stock based awards may also be granted in specific circumstances for retention or reward purposes. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may, however, grant additional awards to executive officers and key employees for other reasons. Under the stock based award plans, the participants may be granted options to purchase shares of Common stock and substantially all of our employees and directors participate in at least one of our plans. Options issued under these plans generally are granted at fair market value at the date of grant, become exercisable at varying rates, generally over three or four years. Options issued before April 29, 2005, generally expire ten years from the date of grant; awards issued on or after April 29, 2005, generally expire seven years from the date of grant.

We recognize that stock options dilute existing shareholders and have attempted to control the number of options granted while remaining competitive with our compensation packages. At June 30, 2006, approximately 80% of our outstanding stock options carried exercise prices in excess of the closing market price of our Common stock on that day. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the granting of all stock-based incentive awards.

Table of Contents

On March 15, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions, subject to stockholder approval, to approve entry into the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The plan was approved at the annual shareholders meeting held May 5, 2006. The Board adopted the 2006 Plan because it believes that continued grants of stock options, as well as grants of restricted stock and other stock-based awards, are an important element in attracting, retaining and motivating persons who are expected to make important contributions.

The Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the enCommerce, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 1999 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (together, the “Prior Plans”), will terminate and no further grants will be permitted under the Prior Plans, provided that, this termination of the Prior Plans will not affect awards that are outstanding under the Prior Plans.

In January 2005, our Board of Directors approved accelerating the vesting of all of the outstanding unvested stock options granted to our directors, officers and employees under applicable stock incentive plans, with an exercise price greater than $4.79. As a result of the acceleration, options to acquire approximately 2.8 million shares of our Common stock, which otherwise would have vested from time to time over the next four years, became immediately exercisable. All other terms and conditions applicable to outstanding stock option grants remain in effect.

The decision to accelerate the vesting of affected stock options was primarily based upon the issuance of SFAS No.123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). In addition, because these options had exercise prices in excess of current market values and are not fully achieving their original objectives of incentive compensation and employee retention, the acceleration may have a positive effect on employee morale and retention. By accelerating the vesting of the affected stock options, we are not required to record any amount of compensation expense for such accelerated stock options in current or future periods.

In addition, we decided to use restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) in future incentive compensation plans for employees and members of the Board of Directors, in place of or in combination with stock options to purchase shares of our stock.

RSUs allow the employees to receive Common stock of the Company once the units vest. The RSU’s generally vest over two to four years. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), (discussed below), no unearned deferred compensation expense was recorded for stock-based awards to employees. Compensation costs related to stock based awards are treated as a credit to Additional Paid in Capital when the expense is recognized over the requisite service period.

Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R) which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and recognize that cost over the service period. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005 and, therefore, we began recognizing compensation expense related to employee stock awards from and after January 1, 2006.

SFAS 123(R) requires us to measure compensation cost for stock awards at fair value and recognize compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating awards expected to vest including type of awards, employee class, and our historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of our stock options. Those assumptions include estimating; the expected volatility of the market price of our common stock over the expected term, the expected term of the award, the risk free interest rate expected during the option term and the expected dividends to be paid.

We have reviewed each of these assumptions carefully and determined our best estimate for these variables. Of these assumptions, the expected volatility of our common stock is the most difficult to estimate since it is based on expected performance of our common stock. We use the implied volatility of historical market prices for our common stock on the public stock market to estimate expected volatility. An increase in the expected volatility, expected term, and risk free interest rate, all will cause an increase in compensation expense. The dividend yield on our common stock is assumed to be zero since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future.

Under the transition to SFAS No. 123(R) we elected to apply the modified prospective application and consequently began recognizing compensation expense related to stock based awards on a prospective basis. Under the modified prospective application, share-based compensation is recognized for awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). In addition, share-based compensation is recognized, subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), for the remaining portion of the vesting period for outstanding awards granted prior to the date of adoption. The modified prospective method does not impact previous reporting periods, but provides for recognition of compensation expense related to unvested stock awards outstanding as at January 1, 2006 on a prospective basis.

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compensation expense of $877 thousand and $1.6 million, respectively, was recognized for stock options, RSUs and SARs as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Total remaining compensation estimated to be recognized over the remaining service periods for these awards is $5.2 million.

In addition to ongoing recognition of stock-based compensation expense, we recognized a one-time cumulative transition adjustment in the first quarter of 2006. A reduction of $32 thousand in compensation expense was made related to the effect of estimated forfeitures on outstanding awards. This adjustment was to record the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, to reflect the compensation cost that would not have been recognized in prior periods had forfeitures been estimated during those periods. This adjustment applies only to compensation cost previously recognized in fiscal 2005 related to RSUs and SARs awards granted in that year.

Previously, we accounted for our stock option plans under the recognition and intrinsic value measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related accounting guidance. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was reflected in net income (loss) for grants to employees under these plans, prior to 2006, when the exercise price for options granted under these plans was equal to the market value of the underlying Common stock on the date of grant. All of the options granted to employees in the periods after 1998 had exercise prices equal to the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant and, therefore, no stock-based compensation costs were reflected in earnings for these options in periods prior to 2006.

However, under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, stock-based compensation expense was disclosed in notes to the financial statements. The effect of this expense in fiscal 2005 would have been to create a pro forma net loss for 2005 of $2.1 million, compared to reported net income of $6.4 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN No. 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The provisions of FIN No. 48 will be effective for us as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Our total revenues were $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, which represented a decrease of 11% from the $24.8 million of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Total revenues were $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which represented a decrease of 13% from the $49.7 million of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 The overall decrease in total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, when compared to the same periods of 2005, was driven primarily by decreased closure rates for product transactions outside North America and a shift in our product mix toward our emerging growth products, which tend to be smaller up front deals and carry less professional services requirements. Improvement in North America for the second quarter but overall decline for the first half was mainly due to the extended government market. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, extended government revenues in the United States were $4.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $11.1 million for the same periods in 2005, representing a 4% increase and a 24% decrease, respectively. The level of non-North American revenues

has fluctuated from period to period and this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The United States and Canadian governments represented 21% and 8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2006, respectively, when including revenues sold through resellers to the government end users. However, direct sales to the United States and Canadian governments represented only 16% and 8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2006, respectively. Overall, the United States and Canadian governments represented 17% and 13% of total revenues in the first half of 2006, when including revenues sold through resellers to the government end users. However, direct sales to the United States and Canadian governments represented only 12% and 13% of total revenues in the first half of 2006. No other individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

We eliminate intercompany profits on revenue transactions with unconsolidated subsidiaries that are accounted for under the equity method to the extent of our ownership interest in that related party, if the product and/or services have not been sold through to an unrelated third party end-user customer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we sold product and consulting services to Asia Digital Media with a fair value of $298 thousand and $569 thousand, respectively, which after intercompany profit eliminations related to our direct and indirect ownership at June 30, 2005 of approximately 27%, was recognized as $270 thousand and $497 thousand of net revenues, respectively. We had no revenues from Asia Digital Media during the first half of 2006.

Product revenues of $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 represented a decrease of 21% from the $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, representing 33% and 38% of total revenues in the respective periods. Product revenues of $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 represented a decrease of 20% from the $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, representing 32% and 35% of total revenues in the respective periods. The decrease in the first half of 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily due to our difficulty in closing deals over a million dollars, closing just two product deals in excess of one million dollars in the first half of 2006, compared to four in the same period of 2005. In addition, the revenues generated from government customers were down this half, representing 50% of product revenues compared to 61% for the same period in 2005. New project purchases remain subject to governmental budgetary constraints, particularly in the United States, so that these revenues will fluctuate from period to period. Also, we experienced a lower product transaction closure rate. Highlighting this trend, we had 70 product revenue transactions (a product revenue transaction is defined as a product sale in excess of $10 thousand) in the second quarter of 2006, down from 77 in the same quarter of 2005, or a 9% decrease. Overall, we had 129 product revenue transactions in the first half of 2006, down from 141 in the first half of 2005, or a 9% decrease. More importantly, the impact on revenues was amplified by the fact that the average product revenue transaction size decreased from $104 thousand for the second quarter 2005 to $82 thousand for the same period of 2006, or a decrease of 21%. The average product transaction size decreased 21% to $83 thousand for the first half of 2006 from $105 thousand for the first half of 2005. This downward trend in transaction size is due to a shift in our product mix toward our lower cost emerging growth products. In general, the top-five average quarterly product revenue transactions as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 17% for the first half of 2005 to 14% for the same period in 2006. Product revenues as a percentage of total revenues decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, due to a lower demand for products, relative to the demand for services.

Services and maintenance revenues of $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 represented a decrease of 5% from the $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, representing 67% and 62% of total revenues in the respective periods. Services and maintenance revenues of $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 represented a decrease of 9% from the $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, representing 68% and 65% of total revenues in the respective periods. The decrease in services and maintenance revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 is due to a shift in demand for our emerging growth products, which require less professional services to implement, deploy and integrate, than our PKI and single sign-on solutions. Also, third party hardware revenues are lower for the first half of 2006 by $1.1 million when compared to the same period last year, because of a significant hardware order which bolstered services revenues in the first half of 2005. Services and maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased compared to the same periods in 2005 due to a greater decrease in product revenues relative to the decrease in services and maintenance revenues.

Total expenses consist of costs of revenues associated with products and services and maintenance, amortization of purchased products rights and operating expenses associated with sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and restructuring charges and adjustments. Total expenses of $23.9 million and $51.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, represented an increase of 1% and 8% in each of the respective periods. The increase in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was due primarily to the impact of additional costs associated with equity compensation, third-party royalties on software revenues, outside professional services and a net first half adjustment to our restructuring accruals of $2.8 million related to our excess Santa Clara facility, offset by lower facility depreciation costs for leasehold improvements in our Ottawa facility and lower third party hardware expenses. As of June 30, 2006 we had 477 full-time employees globally, compared to 488 full-time employees at June 30, 2005 and 475 full-time employees at December 31, 2005. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Percentage of product revenues

   16 %   11 %   23 %   11 %    

Cost of product revenues consists primarily of costs associated with product media, documentation, packaging and royalties to third-party software vendors. Cost of product revenues was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, which represented a 20% increase from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, representing 16% and 11% of product revenues in each of the respective periods. Cost of product revenues of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 represented a 60% increase from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which represented 23% and 11% of product revenues in their respective periods. The increase in the cost of product revenues in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total product revenues from the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same quarter of 2006 is due to a shift towards products that incorporate third party technologies relative to the prior year. The increase in the cost of product revenues in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total product revenues from six months ended June 30 2005 compared to the same period of 2006 is primarily attributable to one large product revenue transaction that carried a third-party software royalty in the first quarter of 2006. Also, the cost of product revenues as a percentage of total revenues was higher in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the lower total product revenues when compared to the same quarter of 2005. The mix of third-party products and the relative gross margins achieved with respect to these products may vary from period to period and from transaction to transaction and, consequently, our gross margins and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The $0.1 million decrease in the cost of services and maintenance revenues in the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same quarter of 2005, was the net result of decreased facilities and staff related costs, offset by increased costs associated with outside professional services contractors. The $1.8 million decrease for the first half of 2006, when compared to the same period in 2005, can be attributed primarily to the reduced facilities related costs due to lower depreciation on our Ottawa facility, reduced third party hardware expenses and reduced staffing costs. The third party hardware costs were much higher in the first half of 2005 because of a significant hardware order from a customer during that period. The number of employees on our services and maintenance teams decreased by 2% overall, from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006 in response to the decline in demand for consulting and integration services, despite the increased resources added as a result of the acquisition of Orion Security Solutions in June 2006. The decrease in the services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues in the second quarter of 2006 was due to the lower total revenues compared to the second quarter of 2005. Services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues were consistent between the first half of 2006 and the same period of 2005, which was the net result of lower overall services and maintenance expenses accounting for a four-percentage point decrease in the services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues, while the lower total revenues in the first half of 2006 resulted in a four-percentage point increase, compared to the first half of 2005.

Services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues was 49% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 51% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues was 50% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The decrease in services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues in the second quarter of 2006, compared to the same quarter of 2005, was primarily due the shift in mix of services revenues toward the lower margin professional services, including third party services and hardware, in 2006, which accounted for the two-percentage point decrease. Services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues overall for the first half of 2006 was consistent with the same period of 2005, which was the net effect of a three-percentage point improvement due to support and maintenance, offset completely by the lower professional services margins experienced in the first half of 2006. We plan to continue to optimize the utilization of existing professional services resources, while addressing incremental customer opportunities that may arise with the help of partners and other sub-contractors, until an investment in additional full-time resources is justifiable. This may have an adverse impact on the gross profit for services and maintenance, as the gross profit realized by using partners and sub-contractors is generally lower. The mix and volume of services and maintenance revenues may vary from period to period and from transaction to transaction, which will also affect our gross margins and results of operations.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 in absolute dollars was primarily due to reduced leasehold improvements depreciation costs associated with our Ottawa facility and reduced sales commission due to lower revenues when compared to the same period in 2005. These decreases were partially offset by increased spending in marketing programs and an increase to our allowance for doubtful accounts. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, primarily due to leasehold improvements associated with our Ottawa facility reaching the point of being fully depreciated late in 2005, offset by increases in allowance for doubtful accounts and marketing programs. The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods of 2005, reflects lower revenues in 2006, which resulted in a four-percentage point increase in each of the respective periods. This effect was partially offset by a two-percentage point decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues due to lower sales and marketing spending for the second quarter of 2006 when compared to the same quarter of 2005. We intend to continue to focus on improving the productivity of the sales and marketing teams. Also, we plan to add additional sales coverage, which should allow us to better execute on the opportunities we are seeing in both in the United States and abroad. We will continue to focus on our channels, with a view to providing the executive team time to focus on strategically growing the business. However, we believe it is necessary for us to continue to make significant investments in sales and marketing to support the launch of new products, services and marketing programs by maintaining our strategy of (a) investing in hiring and training our sales force in anticipation of future market growth, and (b) investing in marketing efforts in support of new product launches. We believe it is necessary to invest in marketing programs that will improve the awareness and understanding of information security governance, and we will continue to invest in marketing toward that goal. Failure to make such investments could have a significant adverse effect on our operations. While we are focused on marketing programs and revenue-generating opportunities to increase software revenues, there can be no assurances that these initiatives will be successful.

During the first half of 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts increased by $0.4 million to $0.9 million due primarily to a provision recorded related to accounts receivable balances with one of our European distributors.

Research and development expenses decreased to $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $4.5 million for the same period in 2005, while these expenses remained flat at $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Research and development expenses represented 20% of total revenues for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 18% and 17% for the comparable periods in 2005.

Research and development expenses in absolute dollars remained flat between the second quarter and first half of 2005 and the same periods of 2006. This was the net effect of increased staff-related costs and increased costs associated with the use of outside professional services contractors, offset by a reduction in depreciation costs associated with our Ottawa facility. The increase in staff-related and contractor costs was primarily the result of an unfavorable shift in the exchange rates between Canada and the U.S., resulting in increased costs of $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 when compared to the same periods in 2005, since the majority of these research and development expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. The increase in research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 reflects lower revenues compared to the same periods of 2005. We believe that we must continue to maintain our investment in research and development in order to protect our technological leadership position, software quality and security assurance leadership. We therefore expect that research and development expenses may have to increase in the future.

The increase in staff-related costs in absolute dollars in the first three and six months of 2006 compared to the same periods of 2005 was primarily due to deferred compensation plan costs and stock-based compensation expenses recognized under SFAS No. 123(R), as well as incremental reported costs resulting from the unfavorable shift in the exchange rates between Canada and the U.S. Also, additional legal expenses were incurred in connection with a patent infringement claim initiated by us, which was the primary cause of the increase in outside professional services. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased for the first three and six months of 2006 compared to the same periods of 2005, due mainly to the increase in recorded expenses, which accounted for two-percentage points and three-percentage points of the increase, respectively, combined with lower total revenues in the first three and six months of 2006, which resulted in an additional two-percentage point increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues in each period compared to the first three and six months of 2005. We continue to explore opportunities to gain additional efficiencies in our administrative processes and to contain expenses in these functional areas.

Amortization of Purchased Product Rights

Amortization of purchased product rights was $212 thousand and $419 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, compared to $190 thousand and $385 thousand for the same periods in 2005. These costs are related to the acquisition of certain business assets from AmikaNow! during 2004. This expense was recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

Restructuring Charges and Adjustments

During the second quarter of 2006, we made a further adjustment to decrease the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to our Santa Clara, California facility by $130 thousand, to reflect the fact that the building sublease was extended with the current subtenant to March 31, 2011 and the corresponding expected sublet lease recoveries. This adjustment was charged to the restructuring charges line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter of 2006.

Table of Contents

During the first quarter of 2006, we made an adjustment to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to our Santa Clara, California facility. The current sublease was scheduled to end in December 2006. Although we had been monitoring the sublet market on an on-going basis, we had received an extension offer and had begun preparations for placing the facility on the market. These events caused us to revisit our estimated sublease recoveries at that time. We concluded that we needed to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to our June 2001 restructuring plan by a further $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to reflect a change in our projected sublet lease recoveries as evidenced by the market for leased facilities in that region. This adjustment was charged to the restructuring charges line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of 2006.

Interest Income

Interest income increased to $840 thousand and $1.6 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, from $577 thousand and $1.1 million for the same periods of 2005, representing 4% of total revenues for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 2% of total revenues for each of the same periods in 2005. The increase in investment income from the first half of 2005 to the same period of 2006 reflected improved interest rates on funds invested, despite the reduced balance of funds invested as a result of amounts drawn down to fund cash flow from operations and stock repurchases and to acquire long-lived assets during the last year. The funds invested decreased to $74.7 million at June 30, 2006 from $86.6 million at June 30, 2005. However, the rate of return on our marketable investments improved to approximately 5% in the first half of 2006 compared to a rate of return of approximately 3% in the same period of 2005.

Loss from Equity Investments

We recorded $122 thousand and $293 thousand of losses, net of intercompany profit eliminations, related to our investments in Asia Digital Media for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $221 thousand and $451 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. We began accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting in the fourth quarter of 2004, since we had the potential to significantly influence its operations and management.

Write-down of Long-term Strategic and Equity Investments

We recorded non-cash charges in the first quarter of 2006 related to the impairment of long-term investments in Asia Digital Media and Ohana of $2.4 million and $659 thousand, respectively, as it was concluded that these investments had suffered an other than temporary decline in fair value.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $90 thousand and $189 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $321 thousand and $695 thousand for the same periods of 2005. These provisions represent primarily the taxes payable in certain foreign jurisdictions. The effective income tax rates differed from statutory rates primarily due to the impairment of long-term strategic investments and purchased product rights, foreign research and development tax credits, as well as an adjustment of the valuation allowance that has offset the tax benefits from the significant net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards available.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generated cash of $3.4 million in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006. This cash inflow was primarily a result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.3 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $1.8 million, an increase in accrued restructuring charges of $0.8 million, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other receivables of $1.4 million, partially offset by cash outflows resulting from a net loss after adjusting for non-cash charges of $3.7 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.2 million. Our average days sales outstanding at June 30, 2006 was 70 days, which represents a decrease from the 73 days that we reported at March 31, 2006. The overall

 

40


Table of Contents

decrease in days sales outstanding from March 31, 2006 was mainly due to improved in-quarter collections compared to the first quarter of 2006, combined with an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts from the previous period. For purposes of calculating average days sales outstanding, we divide ending accounts receivable by the applicable quarter’s revenues and multiply this amount by 90 days. The level of accounts receivable at each quarter end is affected by the concentration of revenues in the final weeks of each quarter and may be negatively affected by expanded international revenues in relation to total revenues as licenses to international customers often have longer payment terms.

Any increase or decrease in our accounts receivable balance and days sales outstanding will affect our cash flow from operations and liquidity. Our accounts receivable and days sales outstanding may increase due to changes in factors such as the timing of when sales are invoiced and the length of customer’s payment cycle. Generally, international and indirect customers pay at a slower rate than domestic and direct customers, so that an increase in revenue generated from international and indirect customers may increase our days sales outstanding and accounts receivable balance. We have observed an increase in the length of our customers’ payment cycles, which may result in higher accounts receivable balances, and could expose us to greater general credit risks with our customers and increased bad debt expense.

During the first six months of 2006, we were cash flow neutral with respect to investing activities. Cash provided by net reductions in our marketable investments in the amount of $10.2 million was offset by the investment of $8.8 million in the acquisition of Orion and $1.4 million in property and equipment, primarily for computer hardware upgrades throughout our organization.

We used cash of $1.7 million in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily for the repurchase of our Common stock in the amount of $2.5 million, offset by $0.8 million of cash provided by the exercise of employee stock options.

As of June 30, 2006, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments in the amount of $74.7 million provided our principal sources of liquidity. Overall, we used $9.9 million and $7.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively. Although we continue to target operating profitability, based on sustainable revenue and operating expense structures, we estimate that we may continue to use cash in fiscal 2006 to satisfy the obligations provided for under our restructuring program. However, if operating losses continue to occur, then cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments will be negatively affected. In addition, we used approximately $49 million of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments in July 2006 in connection with the acquisition of Business Signatures.

On July 29, 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized us to repurchase up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of our Common stock. The program has subsequently been extended three times, most recently on July 22, 2005 when the Board of Directors authorized a further extension of this stock repurchase program to permit the purchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of our Common stock through December 15, 2006. This quantity of Common shares is in addition to the 6,928,640 shares of our Common stock already purchased under the stock repurchase program through June 30, 2005.

During the second quarter of 2006, we repurchased 298,000 shares of our Common stock for a total cash outlay of $1.0 million at an average price of $3.32, including commissions paid to brokers. During the first half of 2006, we repurchased 703,000 shares of our Common stock for a total cash outlay of $2.5 million at an average price of $3.58, including commissions paid to brokers. As of June 30, 2006, we had repurchased 8,530,124 of the authorized 16,928,640 shares of our common stock under this program, for a total cash outlay of $33,610,000, at an average price of $3.94 per share, including commissions paid to brokers.

While there can be no assurance as to the extent of usage of liquid resources in future periods, we believe that our cash flows from operations and existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments will be sufficient to meet our needs for at least the next twelve months.

In terms of long-term liquidity requirements, we will need to fund the $26.8 million of accrued restructuring charges at June 30, 2006 through fiscal 2011, as detailed below. This amount is net of estimated sublet recoveries on restructured facilities of $13.7 million. The lease obligations included in

Table of Contents

these accrued restructuring charges are disclosed in the table of contractual commitments below. In addition, we expect to spend approximately $2.0 million per year on capital expenditures, primarily for computer equipment needed to replace existing equipment that is coming to the end of its useful life.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments, as well as future operating cash flows, will be sufficient to fund these long-term requirements.

We have commitments that will expire at various times through 2015. We lease administrative and sales offices and certain property and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that will expire in 2015. A summary of our contractual commitments at June 30, 2006 is as follows:

In addition to the lease commitments included above, we have provided letters of credit totaling $8.5 million as security deposits in connection with certain office leases.

The 2005 Entrust Deferred Incentive and Retention Bonus Plan (the “Deferred Plan”) was adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on November 7, 2005. The primary objective of the Deferred Plan is to attract and retain valued employees by remunerating selected executives and other key employees with cash awards based on the contribution of the individual employee. The Deferred Plan became effective on January 1, 2006. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine which employees are eligible to receive awards under the plan and shall grant awards in such amounts and on such terms as it shall determine provided that the aggregate amount of all such awards do not exceed $2.4 million. Subject to limited exceptions, an employee’s award under the plan shall vest in one-eighth of the amount of the award at the end of each calendar quarter following the original grant date, provided that the employee continues to be employed by us on each of such dates. During the first quarter of 2006, we granted awards to employees under the plan that potentially could result in payments of $1.6 million over the next two years, assuming that all employees receiving the awards remain employed with us for the entire two year vesting period of the awards.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standard indemnification agreements with our business partners and customers. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to modify, repair or replace the product, pay royalties for a right to use, defend and reimburse the indemnified party for actual damages awarded by a court against the indemnified party for an intellectual property infringement claim by a third party with respect to our products and services, and indemnify for property damage that may be caused in connection with consulting services performed at a customer site by our employees or our subcontractors. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have general and umbrella insurance policies that generally enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2006.

We generally warrant for ninety days from delivery to a customer that our software products will perform free from material errors that prevent performance in accordance with user documentation. Additionally, we warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards including other warranties. We have only incurred nominal expense under our product or service

warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of our obligations under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2006.

We have entered into employment and executive retention agreements with certain employees and executive officers, which, among other things, include certain severance and change of control provisions. We have also entered into agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Associated with Interest Rates

Our investment policy states that we will invest our cash reserves, including cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments, in investments that are designed to preserve principal, maintain liquidity and maximize return. We actively manage our investments in accordance with these objectives. Some of these investments are subject to interest rate risk, whereby a change in market interest rates will cause the principal amount of the underlying investment to fluctuate. Therefore, depreciation in principal value of an investment is possible in situations where the investment is made at a fixed interest rate and the market interest rate then subsequently increases.

The following table presents the cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments that we held at June 30, 2006, that would have been subject to interest rate risk, and the related ranges of maturities as of those dates:

Fair value

   $ 51,398    $ 144    $ 2,581    $ —  
                           

We try to manage this risk by maintaining our cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments with high quality financial institutions and investment managers. As a result, we believe that our exposure to market risk related to interest rates is minimal. Our financial instrument holdings at quarter-end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined by net present values. In this sensitivity analysis, we used the same change in interest rate for all maturities. All other factors were held constant. If there were an adverse change in interest rates of 10%, the expected effect on net income related to our financial instruments would be immaterial.

Risk Associated with Exchange Rates

We are subject to foreign exchange risk as a result of exposures to changes in currency exchange rates, specifically between the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Japan. This exposure is not considered to be material with respect to the United Kingdom, European and Japanese operations due to the fact that these operations are not significant. However, because a disproportionate amount of our expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars, through our Canadian operations, while our Canadian denominated revenue streams are cyclical, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, and in particular, fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. Therefore, a favorable change in the exchange rate for the Canadian subsidiary would result in higher revenues when translated into U.S. dollars, but would also mean expenses would be higher in a corresponding fashion and to a greater degree.

 

43


Table of Contents

Historically, we have not engaged in formal hedging activities, but we do periodically review the potential impact of this foreign exchange risk to ensure that the risk of significant potential losses is minimized. However, as a significant portion of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, our expense base increased by $3.1 million in 2005, when compared to 2004, due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States and Canadian dollars.

In the past, when advantageous, we have engaged in forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars, to cover exposures on Canadian subsidiary’s expenses that are denominated in Canadian dollars, in an attempt to reduce earnings volatility that might result from fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar. We did not engage in any forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars during the second quarter of 2006, and no previously purchased foreign exchange contracts had extended past March 31, 2006. We currently have not engaged in any forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars to cover exposures on expenses denominated in Canadian dollars for the third quarter of 2006 or future periods.

Risk Associated with Long-term Strategic Investments

We invested in several privately held companies in 2000 and 2001 for business and strategic alliance purposes, most of which are technology companies in the start-up or development stage, or are companies with technologies and products that are targeted at geographically distant markets. As a result of other than temporary declines in the net realizable value, these investments were fully impaired over the period from 2001 to 2003. Accordingly, there is no net book value remaining for these strategic investments as of June 30, 2006.

As a result of the Rescission Agreement discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as of December 31, 2005, we held an investment in Ohana, in the amount of $750 thousand, representing approximately 14.3% of the issued common shares of Ohana. This investment is now accounted for under the cost method. Ohana is in the start-up or development stage, and may lack the financial resources, licenses, technology and governmental approvals necessary to import, develop or offer for sale any commercial product or service. If the demand for Ohana’s products and services materializes slowly, to a minimum extent, or not at all in the relevant market, we could lose all or substantially all of our investment. We have recorded cumulative losses from our investment in Ohana of $750 thousand since the fourth quarter of 2004.

During the first quarter of 2006, we were informed of an Ohana re-financing, which coupled with the changes in the business outlook, led us to conclude that the expectations for Ohana had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of our equity ownership. As a result, we recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment of our investment in Ohana of $659 thousand. After this impairment, the remaining carrying value of our investment in Ohana at June 30, 2006 was $91 thousand.

Risk Associated with Equity Investments

In total we have invested $3.7 million in Asia Digital Media, representing an equity interest of approximately 44% in the issued common shares of Asia Digital Media at December 31, 2005. Asia Digital Media is a joint venture in the start-up or development stage, and may lack the financial resources, licenses, technology and governmental approvals necessary to import, develop or offer for sale in China any commercial product or service. As of December 31, 2005, Asia Digital Media has built, integrated, tested, and demonstrated the end-to-end solution within a lab environment. In October 2005, Asia Digital Media put its first real subscribers into a live network as part of the alpha trial. Asia Digital Media is currently working directly with cable operators and end users to refine its products for the market. If no such offerings are developed due to insufficient financial resources, inability to license required third party intellectual property, technical problems, or a lack of necessary governmental approvals, we could lose all or substantially all of our investment. In addition, if the demand for Asia Digital Media’s products and services materializes slowly, to a minimum extent, or not at all in the relevant market, we could lose all or substantially all of our investment.

We have recorded cumulative losses from our investment in Asia Digital Media of $959 thousand since the investment in the fourth quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2006, we were informed of changes in

 

44


Table of Contents

our Chinese partner’s ability to invest in the second funding round of Asia Digital Media. This factor, among others, had significant negative implications for Asia Digital Media. We concluded that expectations for Asia Digital Media had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of our equity ownership. As a result, we recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment of our investment in Asia Digital Media in the amount of $2.4 million. After this impairment, the remaining carrying value of our investment in Asia Digital Media at June 30, 2006 was $230 thousand.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Part 1. Item 3. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings in that earlier Report remain outstanding.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our revenues and operating results are subject to significant fluctuations and such fluctuations may lead to a reduced market price for our stock.

Our revenues and operating results have varied in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful, but securities analysts and investors often rely upon these comparisons as indicators of future performance. If our operating results in any future period fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, or the guidance that we provide, the market price of our securities would likely decline. Factors that have caused our results to fluctuate in the past and which are likely to affect us in the future include the following:

 

    reduced capital expenditures for software;

 

    length of sales cycles associated with our product offerings;

 

    the timing, size and nature of our licensing transactions;

 

45


Table of Contents
    the increased dependency on partners for end user fulfillment;

 

    market acceptance of new products or product enhancements by us;

 

    market acceptance of new products or product enhancements by our competitors;

 

    the relative proportions of revenues derived from licenses and services and maintenance;

 

    the timing of new personnel hires and the rate at which new personnel become productive;

 

    changes in pricing policies by our competitors;

 

    changes in our operating expenses;

 

    fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and

 

    reduced spending by critical vertical markets.

Estimating future revenues is difficult, and our failure to do so accurately may lead to a reduced market price for our stock and reduced profitability.

Estimating future revenues is difficult because we ship our products soon after an order is received and, as such, we do not have a significant order backlog. Thus, quarterly license revenues depend heavily upon orders received and shipped within the same quarter. Moreover, we historically have recorded 50% to 60% of our total quarterly revenues in the third month of the quarter, with a concentration of revenues in the second half of that month. We expect that this concentration of revenues, which is attributable in part to the tendency of some customers to make significant capital expenditures at the end of a fiscal quarter and to sales patterns within the software industry, will continue.

Our expense levels are based, in significant part, upon our expectations as to future revenues and are largely fixed in the short term. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues. Any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our expectations could have an immediate and significant effect on our profitability for that quarter and may lead to a reduced market price for our stock.

Because of the lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle associated with our large software transactions, we may not succeed in closing transactions on a timely basis or at all, which would adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

Transactions for our solutions often involve large expenditures, and the sales cycles for these transactions are often lengthy and unpredictable. Factors affecting the sales cycle include:

 

    customers’ budgetary constraints, particularly in a soft economic environment where technology spending is often deferred;

 

    the timing of customers’ budget cycles; and

 

    customers’ internal approval processes.

We may not succeed in closing such large transactions on a timely basis or at all, which could cause significant variability in our revenues and results of operations for any particular period. If our results of operations and cash flows fall below the expectations of securities analysts, or below the targeted guidance range that we have provided, our stock price may decline.

A limited number of customers has accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues, which may decline if we cannot maintain or replace these customer relationships, and for a significant percentage of our accounts receivable.

Historically, a limited number of customers have accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues. In the second quarter of 2006, our three largest customers accounted for 33% of revenues. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, our three largest customers accounted in the aggregate for 31%, 32% and 29% of revenues, respectively. We anticipate that our results of operations in any given period will continue to depend to a significant extent upon revenues from a small number of large customers. In addition, we anticipate that such customers will continue to vary over time, so that the achievement of our long-term

 

46


Table of Contents

goals will require us to obtain additional significant customers on an ongoing basis. Our failure to enter into a sufficient number of large licensing agreements during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our revenues.

In addition, our accounts receivable include material balances from a limited number of customers, with five customers accounting for 23% of gross accounts receivable at June 30, 2006, compared to 41% of gross accounts receivable at June 30, 2005. One customer accounted for 9% of net accounts receivable at June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the total accounts receivable is $17.1 million, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.9 million. Changes in the financial condition of these customers could result in a different assessment of the existing credit risk of our accounts receivable and thus, a different required allowance, which could have a material impact on our reported earnings.

The U.S. and Canadian Federal Governments account for a significant percentage of our revenues, which may decline or be subject to delays, which would adversely affect our operating results.

The extended government vertical (Governments, including Healthcare) accounted for 50% of our product revenue in the first half of 2006 and 55% of product revenue in fiscal 2005. The U.S. and Canadian governments represented 17% and 13% of total revenues, respectively, in the first half of 2006, which includes revenues sold through resellers to these government end users. Sustaining and growing revenues in the government market will depend, in large part, on the following:

 

    the adoption rate of our products within government departments and agencies;

 

    the timing and amount of budget appropriations for information technology and specifically information security;

 

    the timing of adoption of information security policies and regulations, including, but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the California Breach Disclosure Law (SB1386); and

 

    our ability to develop and maintain the appropriate business relationships with partners with whom the government contracts for information security projects.

A decline, or delay in the growth of this market could reduce demand for our products, adversely affecting our revenues and results of operations. In addition, changes in Government officials as a result of elections could have an impact on our prospects in the Government market. Our ability to sell to the Government may also be impacted by changes to, or termination of, the supply agreement(s) we have in place with the Government, which from time to time come up for renewal and renegotiation. Finally, failure to properly monitor pricing on government contracts could result in liability for penalties to the government for non-compliance.

We sometimes enter into complex contracts, which require ongoing monitoring and administration. Failure to monitor and administer these contracts properly could result in liability or damages.

We sometimes enter into complex contracts with our Government customers that contain clauses that provide that if a customer who falls within a specific category (known as a Relevant Customer) is offered better terms on the Company’s software products and related services that had been offered to the Government customer, then the Government customer will be able to buy additional quantities of those software products and services for the same length of time, from the same effective date and on the better terms that were offered to the Relevant Customer. The Company monitors compliance with these contracts on a continuous basis. The Company also conducts periodic self-assessments to ensure that the contracts are being properly administered and that there are no accruing liabilities for non-compliance. If these contracts are not properly monitored and administered, they may be breached and could result in damages payable by us which, depending on their magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

War, the significant threat of war, or a terrorist act could adversely affect our business.

Historically, the economy has been adversely affected by war, the significant threat of war and terrorist acts. Any of these factors could cause one or more of the following to occur:

 

    government spending could be reprioritized to wartime activities;

 

47


Table of Contents
    global enterprise spending budgets could be cut or delayed resulting in lower demand for our products; or

 

    widespread and unprecedented acts of cyber-terrorism could cause disruption of communications and technology infrastructures, which could impact our customers or products and could have unforeseen economic impacts.

A decline or delay in economic spending due to war, the significant threat of war or a terrorist act could reduce demand for our products, materially adversely affecting our revenues and results of operations.

A widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue could negatively affect our business, making it more difficult and expensive to meet our obligations to our customers, and could result in reduced demand from our customers.

A number of countries in the Asia/Pacific region have experienced outbreaks of SARS and/or bird flu. As a result of such an outbreak, businesses can be shut down temporarily and individuals can become ill or quarantined. Outbreaks of infectious diseases such as these, particularly in North America, Europe or other locations significant to our operations, could adversely affect general commercial activity, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects. If our operations are curtailed because of health issues, we may need to seek alternate sources of supply for services and staff and these alternate sources may be more expensive. Alternate sources may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to our customers, each of which would affect our results of operations. In addition, a curtailment of our product design operations could result in delays in the development of new products. Further, if our customers’ businesses are affected by health issues, they might delay or reduce purchases from us, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

If the enterprise information technology budgets and the digital identity security market do not continue to grow, demand for our products and services will be adversely affected.

The market for digital identity and information security solutions is at an early stage of development. Continued growth of the digital identity security market will depend, in large part, on the following:

 

    the continued increase in the number of organizations adopting or expanding intranets and extranets;

 

    the rate of adoption of Internet-based business applications such as Web Services;

 

    the ability of network infrastructures to support an increasing number of users and services;

 

    the public recognition of the potential threat posed by computer hackers and other unauthorized users; and

 

    the continued development of new and improved services for implementation across the Internet, intranets and extranets.

A decline in the growth of this market could reduce demand for our products, adversely affecting our revenues and results of operations.

A breach of security at one of our customers, whether or not due to our products, could harm our reputation and reduce the demand for our products.

The processes used by computer hackers to access or sabotage networks and intranets are rapidly evolving. A well-publicized actual or perceived breach of network or computer security at one of our customers, regardless of whether such breach is attributable to our products, third-party technology used within our products or any significant advance in techniques for decoding or “cracking” encrypted information, could adversely affect the market’s perception of us and our products, and could have an adverse effect on our reputation and the demand for our products.

 

48


Table of Contents

In addition, the security level of our products is dependent upon the processes and procedures used to install and operate our products. Failure on the part of our customers to properly install and operate our products, could cause a security breach, which could adversely affect the market’s perception of us and our products, and could have an adverse effect on our reputation and the demand for our products.

Sales of our products may decline if some of our products are found to contain bugs or errors.

Our existing testing procedures may not detect errors, failures or bugs in our software products. Such errors may become evident at any time during the life of our products. The discovery of any errors, failures or bugs in any products, including third-party technology incorporated into our products, may result in:

 

    adverse publicity;

 

    product returns;

 

    the loss or delay of market acceptance of our products; and

 

    third-party claims against us.

Accordingly, the discovery of any errors, failures or bugs may have a significant adverse effect on the sales of our products and our results of operations.

We have invested in technology companies in the start-up or development stage whose products and technology may not succeed, which may result in a loss of all or substantially all of our investment.

We have invested in several privately held companies, including Asia Digital Media and ADML Holdings, Ltd, including its affiliate, Ohana Wireless, Inc. (collectively, “Ohana”). Most of these companies are technology companies in the start-up or development stage, or are companies with technologies and products that are targeted at geographically distant markets. If the demand for the technologies and products offered by these privately held companies materializes slowly, to a minimum extent, or not at all in relevant markets, we could lose all or substantially all of our investment in these companies, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we concluded that expectations for Asia Digital Media and Ohana had not materialized and an impairment of the net carrying value of our investments in Asia Digital Media and Ohana was recorded in the amount of $2.4 million and $659 thousand, respectively.

Our revenues may decline if we cannot compete successfully in an intensely competitive market.

We target our products at the rapidly evolving market for digital identity and information security solutions. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and sales resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to react more quickly to emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. In addition, certain of our current competitors in particular segments of the security marketplace may in the future broaden or enhance their offerings to provide a more comprehensive solution competing more fully with our functionality.

Increased competition and increased market volatility in our industry could result in lower prices, reduced margins or the failure of our products and services to achieve or maintain market acceptance, any of which could have a serious adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business will not be successful if we do not keep up with the rapid changes in our industry.

The emerging market for digital identity and information security products and related services is characterized by rapid technological developments, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. To be competitive, we have to continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our products and services, particularly in response to competitive offerings, and be first to market with new products and services or enhancements to existing products and services. Our failure to develop and introduce new products and services successfully on a timely basis and to achieve market

 

49


Table of Contents

acceptance for such products and services could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may have difficulty managing our operations, which could adversely affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

 

    Our ability to manage future growth, if any, will depend upon our ability to:

 

    continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems on a timely basis; and

 

    expand, train, motivate and manage our work force.

Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our operations. The geographic dispersal of our operations may make it more difficult to manage our growth.

We depend on our key personnel for the success of our business and the loss of one or more of our key personnel could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business or could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.

Our success and our ability to manage our business depend, in large part, upon the efforts and continued service of our senior management team. The loss of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. It could be difficult for us to find replacements for our key personnel, as competition for such personnel is intense. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets, which could reduce the market value of our securities.

If we fail to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business may be harmed.

Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to attract and retain highly qualified scientific, technical, sales and managerial personnel, including key personnel at acquired companies. Competition for such personnel is intense, particularly in the field of information security, and there can be no assurance that we can retain our key scientific, technical, sales and managerial employees or that we can attract, motivate or retain other highly qualified personnel in the future. These challenges are made more severe by our history of operating losses, the employment reductions from our restructurings, and the fact that the exercise price of a majority of outstanding stock options is below the current market price of our stock. If we cannot retain or are unable to hire such key personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly adversely affected.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, which could make us less competitive and cause us to lose market share.

Our future success will depend, in part, upon our intellectual property rights and our ability to protect these rights. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, nondisclosure agreements, shrink-wrap licenses and other contractual provisions to establish, maintain and protect our proprietary rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized third parties may:

 

    copy aspects of our products;

 

    obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary; or

 

    infringe upon our patents.

Policing piracy and other unauthorized use of our products is difficult, particularly in international markets and as a result of the growing use of the Internet. In addition, third parties might successfully design around our patents or obtain patents that we would need to license or design around. Finally, the protections we have obtained may not be sufficient because:

 

    some courts have held that shrink-wrap licenses, because they are not signed by the licensee, are not enforceable;

 

    our trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and patents may not provide meaningful protection of our proprietary information; and

 

50


Table of Contents
    we may not seek additional patents on our technology or products, and such patents, even if obtained, may not be broad enough to protect our technology or products.

Our inability or failure to protect our proprietary rights could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, while actions taken to enforce our intellectual property rights could substantially increase our quarterly expenses.

We have been subject to, and may in the future become subject to, intellectual property infringement claims that could be costly and could result in a diversion of management’s attention.

As the number of security products in the industry and the functionality of these products further overlaps, software developers and publishers may increasingly become subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others. From time to time, we have received notices from third parties either soliciting our interest in obtaining a license under one or more patents owned or licensed by these third parties or suggesting that our products may be infringing one or more patents owned or licensed by these third parties.

From time to time, we have received notices from various customers stating that we may be responsible for indemnifying such customers pursuant to indemnification obligations in product license agreements with such customers for alleged infringement of patents assigned to third parties. To date, we are not aware that any customer has filed an action against us for indemnification. In addition, third parties may assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us in the future. Defending or enforcing our intellectual property could be costly and could result in a diversion of management’s attention, which could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. A successful claim against us could also have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations for the period in which damages are paid. Additionally, as a result of a successful claim, we could potentially be enjoined from using technology that is required for our products to remain competitive, which could in turn have an adverse effect on our results of operations for subsequent periods.

We may lose access to technology that we license from outside vendors, which loss could adversely affect our ability to sell our products.

We rely on outside licensors for patent and/or software license rights in technology that is incorporated into and is necessary for the operation of our products. Our success will depend in part on our continued ability to have access to such technologies that are or may become important to the functionality of our products. Any inability to continue to procure or use such technology could have a significant adverse effect on our ability to sell some of our products.

We rely on partners to integrate our products with their products and to resell our products. Changes in these relationships could adversely affect our ability to sell our products.

We rely on partners to integrate our products with their products or to maintain adherence to industry standards so that our products will be able to work with them to provide enhanced security attributes. For example, our ability to provide digital signatures on Adobe forms is dependent upon Adobe continuing to allow Entrust to have access to their private Application Programming Interfaces in future releases. In addition, we have resale relationships with companies such as Critical Path, Safenet, Pointsec and Sun Microsystems/Waveset. Inability to maintain these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Current and future acquisitions or investments could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

It is possible, as part of our current and future growth strategies that we will from time-to-time acquire or make investments in companies, technologies, product solutions or professional services offerings. With respect to these acquisitions, we would face the difficulties of assimilating personnel and operations from the acquired businesses and the problems of retaining and motivating key personnel from such businesses. In addition, these acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing operations, divert senior management from day-to-day business, increase our expenses and adversely impact our results of

 

51


Table of Contents

operations. Any future acquisitions would involve certain other risks, including the assumption of additional liabilities, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and incurrence of debt. In addition, these types of transactions often result in charges to earnings for such items as amortization of purchased intangibles or in-process research and development expenses.

For example, in June 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Orion, based in McLean, Virginia, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 15, 2006, in exchange for $9.0 million in cash and $135 thousand in acquisition-related costs. In addition, in July 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock and options of Business Signatures Corporation, based in Redwood City, California, in exchange for approximately $49.0 million in cash and options to purchase shares of our Common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.0 million, as well as approximately $1.0 million in acquisition-related expenses and assumed net liabilities of Business Signatures of approximately $1.1 million. While management expects to successfully integrate the newly acquired technology and operations, each of the above risks applies to these acquisitions.

As a result of our June 2001 and May 2003 restructuring plans, we have made certain assumptions in estimating the accrued restructuring charges. If these assumptions change, they could have a material effect on our reported results.

In recent years, we announced two major restructuring plans in June 2001 and in May 2003 as a result of the slowdown in the global electronics industry and the worldwide economy. The restructuring plans included a workforce reduction, the consolidation of excess facilities, the reassessment of the value of related excess long-lived assets and the discontinuance of non-core products and programs.

As a result of the June 2001 restructuring plan, we recorded restructuring and other non-recurring charges, excluding goodwill impairment, of $106.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. Our assessment of the accounting effects of the June 2001 restructuring plan required assumptions in estimating the original accrued restructuring charges, including estimating future recoveries of sublet income from excess facilities, liabilities from employee severances, and costs to exit business activities. During the first quarter of 2006, we concluded that it was necessary to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan by a further $2.9 million to reflect a change in our projected sublet lease recoveries as evidenced by the market for leased facilities in the region of our remaining excess facility. This charge represents a reduction in the cash that we expected to recover from future subtenants. As a result of the conclusion of the final sublease arrangement with the subtenant of our California facility during the second quarter of 2006, we adjusted our accrual related to the June 2001 restructuring downward by $130 thousand to reflect the known sublet lease recoveries under the extension agreement. Any future changes in these assumptions, with respect to the accrued restructuring charges for the June 2001 restructuring plan of $26.4 million at June 30, 2006, could have a material effect on our reported results.

As a result of the May 2003 restructuring plan, we recorded restructuring charges, excluding impairments, of $8.9 million. Our assessment of the accounting effect of the May 2003 restructuring plan required assumptions in estimating the original incurred and expected restructuring charges of $8.9 million, including estimating liabilities from employee severances, future recoveries of sublet income from excess facilities, and other costs to exit activities. Changes in these assumptions, with respect to the accrued restructuring charges for the May 2003 restructuring plan of $0.4 million at June 30, 2006, could have a material effect on our reported results.

We face risks associated with our international operations, which, if not managed properly, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In the future, we may establish additional foreign operations, hire additional personnel and establish relationships with additional partners internationally. This expansion would require significant management attention and financial resources and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although our international sales currently are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars,

 

52


Table of Contents

we may increasingly denominate sales in foreign currencies in the future. In addition, our international business may be subject to the following risks:

 

    difficulties in collecting international accounts receivable;

 

    difficulties in obtaining U.S. export licenses, especially for products containing encryption technology;

 

    potentially longer payment cycles for customer payments;

 

    increased costs associated with maintaining international marketing efforts;

 

    introduction of non-tariff barriers and higher duty rates;

 

    difficulties in enforcement of contractual obligations and intellectual property rights;

 

    difficulties managing personnel, partners and operations in remote locations; and

 

    increased complexity in global corporate tax structure.

Any one of these risks could significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We face risks associated with our investment in Asia, which could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In total we have invested $3.7 million in Asia Digital Media and $1.5 million in Ohana, including loans to Ohana that converted into equity in that company. Asia Digital Media and Ohana are joint ventures in the start-up or development stage, and may lack the financial resources, licenses, technology and governmental approvals necessary to import, develop or offer for sale in China any commercial product or service. Joint ventures, such as these, also carry risks as a result of potentially conflicting objectives between the joint venture owners including, but not limited to, agreement on business plans, budgets, and key staffing decisions. The success of Asia Digital Media and Ohana depends in large part on conditions in the Chinese market and receipt of government approvals required to export into China and conduct business there. As such, Asia Digital Media and Ohana face several risks including technological risk, competitive risk, risks pertaining to governmental approvals, political risks, currency risks, funding risks and risks of end-user acceptance. For example, if the demand for the technologies and products developed or offered by Asia Digital Media and Ohana materialize slowly, if the businesses fail to achieve important technical development milestones, fail to achieve necessary governmental approvals and licensing requirements, or fail to raise additional money to continue its development plan, we could lose all or substantially all of our investment in Asia Digital Media and Ohana.

Any one of these risks could significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we concluded that expectations for Asia Digital Media and Ohana had not materialized and an impairment of the net carrying value of our investments in Asia Digital Media and Ohana was recorded in the amount of $2.4 million and $659 thousand, respectively.

If the laws regarding exports of our products further limit or otherwise restrict our business, we could be prohibited from shipping our products to restricted countries, which would result in a loss of revenues.

Some of our products are subject to export controls under the laws of the United States, Canada and other countries. The list of products and countries for which exports are restricted, and the relevant regulatory policies, are likely to be revised from time to time. If we cannot obtain required government approvals under these regulations, we may not be able to sell products abroad or make products available for sale internationally via computer networks such as the Internet. Furthermore, United States governmental controls on the export of encryption products and technology may in the future restrict our ability to export some of our products.

Our stock price is volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future.

The trading price of our Common stock has been, and is expected to continue to be, highly volatile and may be significantly and adversely affected by factors such as:

 

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

    announcements of technological innovations;

 

    new products introduced by, or new contracts entered into by, us or our competitors;

 

    developments with respect to patents, copyrights or propriety rights;

 

    conditions and trends in the security industry;

 

    changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and

 

    general market conditions and other factors.

Provisions of our charter and bylaws may delay or prevent transactions that are in our shareholders’ best interests.

Our charter and bylaws contain provisions, including a staggered board of directors that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, or may discourage bids to do so. We think these measures enable us to review offers for our shares of Common stock to determine if they are in the best interests of our stockholders. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our Common stock and could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Our Board of Directors also has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or may discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

(1) On July 29, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of its Common stock. The program has subsequently been extended three times, most recently on July 22, 2005 when the Board of Directors authorized a further extension of this stock repurchase program to permit the purchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock through December 15, 2006. This quantity of Common shares is in addition to the 6,928,640 shares of the Company’s Common stock already purchased under the Company’s stock repurchase program through June 30, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had repurchased 8,530,124 of the authorized 16,928,640 shares of its common stock under this program, for a total cash outlay of $33,610,000, at an average price of $3.94 per share, including commissions paid to brokers.
