PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

Overview

ActivIdentity™ Corporation (the "Company" or "ActivIdentity" and also referred to as "we" or "our") is a global leader in strong authentication and credential management, providing solutions to confidently establish a person's identity when interacting digitally. For more than two decades, the Company's experience has been leveraged by security minded organizations in large scale deployments such as the United States Department of Defense, Nissan, and Saudi Aramco. The Company's customers have issued more than 100 million credentials, securing the holder's digital identity. ActivIdentity solutions include a fully integrated platform that enables the organizations to issue, manage and use identity devices and credentials for secure access, secure communications and legally binding digital transactions. In general, ActivIdentity solutions deliver multiple benefits, including increased digital and physical security, protection against online fraud, enhanced business process efficiencies, secure access to digital assets and a pathway to regulatory compliance.

ActivIdentity, formerly known as ActivCard Corp., was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 2002 for the purpose of changing the domicile of the publicly listed company in the ActivIdentity group of companies, previously ActivCard S.A., from the Republic of France to the United States. ActivIdentity's Common Stock is publicly traded on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "ACTI."

ActivIdentity delivers solutions today in three primary markets: Enterprise, Government and Commerce.

Enterprise Market Solutions: As a leader in establishing trusted online identities, ActivIdentity's Identity Assurance enterprise access solution (a) gives users universal access with one card or credential; (b) authenticates to a PC, network, application, facility door or copier; (c) digitally signs emails or encrypts data and (d) leverages the same strong credential to access logical and physical systems. The ActivIdentity Strong Authentication enterprise solution for remote access provides security and compliance assurance in an open, standards-based solution. ActivIdentity's solutions make it easy to deploy and support the broadest range of authentication methods such as hardware tokens and software tokens deployed on a variety of devices, including smartphones.

Government Market Solutions: ActivIdentity works with over 200 government agencies in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Australia, and beyond to develop and deploy the most trusted identity assurance solutions in the world. These solutions provide governments the ability to trust the identity of the users accessing their agency resources. For example, Personal Identity Verification ("PIV") compliant

Table of Contents

credentials, created and managed by ActivIdentity technology, support secure access to multiple physical and logical assets across agencies and for non-government employees accessing government resources.

Commerce Market Solutions: ActivIdentity has substantial experience helping regional and global banks around the world in offering their customers secure and convenient online banking. ActivIdentity provides a solution that is easy to deploy and supports the broadest range of authentication methods, including one-time password tokens, mobile authentication, EMV cards and certificate-based authentication, as well as strong passwords and DeviceID. Our 4TRESS Authentication Server, available as an appliance or as a local installation, is complemented by a proven portfolio of one-time password tokens, smartcards and USB keys, enabling us to offer our customers a complete solution based on open standards that is scalable, secure and simple to implement.

On December 14, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of CoreStreet. CoreStreet is a provider of public key infrastructure ("PKI") certification technology, distributed identity credential validation systems, and physical access control products. Their products are used primarily by federal and state agencies in the United States.

We operate on a fiscal year ending September 30. For convenience in this Annual Report, we refer to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 as fiscal 2008, the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as fiscal 2009 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as fiscal 2010.

Recent Developments

On October 11, 2010, the Company, ASSA ABLOY Inc. ("ASSA ABLOY") and FitAcquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company. As a result of the merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY. ASSA ABLOY has indicated its intent after the merger to make the Company part of ASSA ABLOY's HID Global business.

Upon consummation of the merger, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger (other than (i) shares owned by ASSA ABLOY or Merger Sub, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY or Merger Sub and (ii) shares to which appraisal rights are properly sought) and each share of Company common stock subject to restricted stock unit awards, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive $3.25 in cash, without interest. Options to acquire shares of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of $3.25 over the exercise price per share attributable to such option and (B) the total number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise in full of such option.

The completion of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation, (i) the approval of the merger by the Company's stockholders, (ii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which on November 2, 2010, ActivIdentity was notified that early termination of the applicable waiting periods has been granted, and (iii) receipt of other required foreign antitrust approvals. In addition, ASSA ABLOY's obligation to consummate the merger is subject to the Company having at least $68 million in "Company Available Net Cash" (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Company distributed a definitive proxy statement related to approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters on November 12, 2010 and has scheduled a Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held December 16, 2010. Pending receipt of stockholder approval, we expect the merger to be completed promptly thereafter.

Table of Contents

Beginning on October 12, 2010, several putative class action lawsuits were filed purportedly on behalf of ActivIdentity's stockholders in the Superior Court of Alameda County, California, the Delaware Chancery Court, the United States District Court for Northern California and the United States District Court in Delaware. The complaints name ActivIdentity and each member of the ActivIdentity Board as defendants. The lawsuits allege a variety of claims, including that our board members breached fiduciary duties owed to ActivIdentity stockholders by failing to engage in a fair process and failing to maximize stockholder value in approving the Merger. Several of the complaints also allege that ActivIdentity aided and abetted the members of the ActivIdentity Board in the alleged breach of their fiduciary duties. The Plaintiffs seek relief that includes, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, rescission—to the extent the Merger terms have already been implemented, and the payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs. On December 9, 2010, ActivIdentity and the defendants in a number of the actions entered into a memorandum of understanding which provides for the settlement and dismissal with prejudice of such actions, subject to customary conditions, including completion of appropriate settlement documentation, consummation of the merger and all necessary court approvals.

Market Trends

There are a variety of market trends that stimulate demand for strong authentication and credential management solutions:

Compliance

Compliance can be seen as a new driver for deployment of strong authentication as it enables a pathway to tamper-proof auditing trails to track who did what and when. Regulatory requirements and economic realities are pressuring organizations to secure access to applications and networks. Many industry standards and government regulations now deem static passwords as inadequate and establish guidance that multi-factor authentication should replace single factor authentication. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"), recommendations from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act have led organizations to use stronger forms of authentication to mitigate fraud and protect customer information and patient privacy.

Internal Threat Risk

While static passwords continue to dominate as the primary mechanism for identity verification, they create numerous issues for users and organizations alike. Static passwords are often created by users to be easily remembered, making them vulnerable to guessing, social engineering, and brute force dictionary attacks. Even static passwords created under a stringent policy are vulnerable because users write them down and display them in open areas. A key security concern with static passwords is the fact that a compromise (via keystroke logger or network sniffer) often goes undetected, introducing unknown risks to the organization. Since the economic downturn, the internal risk for many organizations has increased dramatically:

•: According to the 2010 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, stolen credentials were the most common way of gaining unauthorized access into organizations in 2009. 38% of network breaches involved stolen passwords and 86% of the records compromised were from attacks involving stolen credentials.
•: According to the PriceWaterhouseCoopers 2011 Global State of Information Security Survey, the business impacts from security breaches, from financial loss to compromises to brands and reputations, have increased as much as 233% over the last four years.

New Supply Chain Paradigm

The collaboration between companies, other organizations and government agencies is driving requirements to share data across networks and provide access to applications and data behind the firewall. To mitigate risk, many large organizations and government agencies are replacing traditional user names and passwords with digital certificates that enable strong authentication, encryption, and electronic signatures. However, to fully trust the access control and identity assurance services that digital certificates enable, organizations must securely store these digital identities / certificates on authentication devices such as smart cards or smart USB tokens.

Initiatives to Drive Customer Confidence and Loyalty

As a result of the most recent financial crisis, strong authentication is being leveraged as a tool to enhance customer loyalty, especially in the banking and financial services industry.

Product Lines and Services

ActivIdentity provides key building blocks for securing IT infrastructures and digital transactions to defend against security threats and identity fraud and at the same time increase an organization's resource utilization, improve productivity, and maximize return on investment.

ActivIdentity offers five product lines that are the foundation for its solutions:

Strong Authentication

ActivIdentity Strong Authentication suite of products enables organizations to securely address a variety of end-user access control scenarios, ranging from remote access via virtual private networks ("VPN") and secure access to Web-based applications, to secure access to data and applications on a local network.

ActivIdentity offers two distinct Strong Authentication platforms for organizations that are seeking to implement a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable solution. ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ AAA Server for Remote Access addresses the security risks associated with a mobile workforce accessing systems and data remotely. ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ Authentication Server offers support for many authentication methods (e.g., user name and password, knowledge based authentication, one-time password ("OTP"), and PKI certificates) and diverse audiences across a variety of service channels, making it the preferred versatile authentication platform for customer facing transactions and enterprise authentication needs.

Credential Management

ActivIdentity Credential Management products enable organizations to securely deploy and manage smart cards and USB tokens containing a variety of credentials, including PKI certificates, OTPs, static passwords, biometrics, demographic data, and virtually any other application.

The ActivIdentity ActivID™ Card Management System is a highly scalable, reliable, proven, and extensible solution that enables organizations to securely issue and manage the complete life cycle of digital credentials on devices, as well as securely update applications and credentials on devices after they have been issued to end users.

Together with its Security Client software, Strong Authentication platform, and Authentication Device offering, ActivIdentity can provide organizations with a complete "Smart Employee ID Solution" that can be leveraged for both physical and logical access control.

Table of Contents

Security Clients

ActivIdentity Security Clients software integrates and works seamlessly with ActivIdentity Strong Authentication and Credential Management offerings to deliver a comprehensive solution for security and network access.

The ActivIdentity ActivClient™ secures desktops and networks with strong authentication based on smart cards and PKI. ActivIdentity ActivClient™ supports the U.S. government's most stringent security requirements and standards. Organizations have issued millions of cards to secure network access, encrypt data, sign emails, and log in to Web applications.

ActivIdentity SecureLogin™ Single Sign-On software provides a simple and secure approach, enabling consistent password management and allowing organizations to provide a single secure sign-on for both local and remote users.

The ActivIdentity™ Authentication Client provides end users with self services to temporarily enable access to workstations and reset Windows passwords. In addition, it allows management with auditing, diagnostic, and policy configuration support and enables smart card password authentication.

Authentication Devices

Organizations' strong authentication needs vary widely based on transaction risks, deployment scenarios, and user communities. ActivIdentity offers a broad range of authentication devices that interoperate with its Strong Authentication and Credential Management products. These devices include the ActivIdentity line of OTP Tokens and other third party devices such as Smart Cards, Smart Card Readers, Smart USB Tokens, Display Card Tokens, Soft Tokens and Hardware Security Modules.

Physical Access Products

The Company provides technology for the convergence of information technology ("IT") and physical security. The Company provides developer kits to physical access control system ("PACS") vendors to enable their products with Federal Information Processing Standards 201 ("FIPS-201") functionality using the F5 Solution and low cost access control with Card-Connected™ technology. This enables PACS manufacturers and their integrators to enable their products to meet government requirements for FIPS-201 compliance. The Card-Connected Technology uses strong cryptography to extend central access control to standalone doors and mobile locks at a fraction of the cost.

Services

ActivIdentity offers training, implementation, onsite support and ongoing architecture assessment services to guide and support organizations. Professional services are offered to ensure that the deployments of ActivIdentity solutions meet an organization's security, compliance, and vulnerability management needs. Training programs help an organization learn quickly how to configure, administer, and optimize ActivIdentity strong authentication and credential management solutions in its network environment.

Customers

Our customers include primarily large scale organizations in the technology, government, manufacturing, banking and financial services industries.

For fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, we had one customer that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue.

At September 30, 2010, we had one customer's receivable balance that accounted for an aggregate of 12% of total accounts receivable. At September 30, 2009, our two largest customers' receivable

Table of Contents

balances accounted for an aggregate of 30% of total accounts receivable. We extend credit to these customers, and management believes that the receivable balances from these large customers are collectible based on our assessment of their creditworthiness, account aging and past collection experience. However, these customers represent a significant exposure if one or more of them were unable to pay.

Sales, Services, and Marketing

Our sales and marketing efforts are aimed at building long-term relationships with our customers. We market and sell our products and technologies through our worldwide direct sales force and through a network of partners including SIs, Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), Value Added Distributors ("VADs"), and Value Added Resellers ("VARs"). Our direct sales force focuses on the top 2,000 companies worldwide and government agencies, working in concert with our channel sales and business development teams supporting initiatives with our SI, OEM, VAD and VAR partners.

In addition to sales and service offices in the United States, we conduct sales, marketing, and services out of wholly owned subsidiaries or branches in other countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Singapore, and Australia. International revenue accounted for approximately 46%, 53%, and 58% of our total revenue in fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. We maintain an export compliance program that is designed to meet the requirements of U.S. export laws and regulations.

ActivIdentity provides technical support from offices located in the U.S., France, and the United Kingdom. These offices provide third level technical support to end users, integrators, and distribution partners, who, in turn, provide first level and second level support to their end users and customers. We offer certification training programs and have established a worldwide "ActivIdentity Channel Partner Program." The third level support we provide includes email, telephone, and online support services to answer inquiries related to implementation, integration, and operation of our products and technologies. Our standard practice is to provide a one-year warranty on hardware and ninety days on software products.

We have organized our marketing efforts into three functional groups to support our business strategies as follows:

Solutions Marketing

The solutions markets team is responsible for synthesizing data from key customers, partners, and industry analysts to assist us in defining next generation solutions/products. Furthermore, the solutions markets team develops all sales and market messaging, positioning, collateral, and selling tools to enable our sales force and channel partners to capitalize on market opportunities and effectively position and sell our products.

Channel Marketing

Our channel marketing organization defines and implements integrated marketing programs to increase brand and product awareness, as well as capture mindshare and enthusiasm for ActivIdentity solutions with our channel partner sales forces.

Corporate Marketing

Corporate marketing efforts include public relations, Internet, telemarketing, trade shows, online advertising, email campaigns, channel promotions, associations marketing, and seminars. Our marketing programs target global 2000 companies and government decision makers, information technology managers and service providers using a high value approach addressing business problem solving and return on investment.

Table of Contents

Competition

We compete in the strong authentication, credential management, security clients and authentication devices markets. We compete with numerous companies in each of these technology categories. The overall number of our competitors may increase and the identity and composition of competitors may change over time.

The worldwide market for identity management is highly competitive. In each of our product categories, we face competition from established and potential competitors, some of which may have greater financial, research, engineering, manufacturing and marketing resources than we have, such as RSA Security (the Security Division of EMC), VeriSign, SafeNet, IBM, Passlogix, Thales Group, Intercede Group, and Vasco Data Security International. We may also face future competition from new market entrants from other overseas and domestic sources. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the design and performance of their current products and processes and to introduce new products and processes with improved price and performance characteristics. We believe that to remain competitive, we will require significant financial resources to offer a broad range of products, to maintain customer service and support centers worldwide, and to invest in product and process research and development.

We believe that we compete favorably with respect to the principal factors affecting competition in our product segments, which include system performance, ease of use, reliability, installed base, technical service and support, product functionality, scalability, flexibility, use of open standards, return on investment, and total cost of ownership. We believe that, while price and delivery are important competitive factors, the customers' overriding requirement is for systems that are easily and effectively incorporated into their existing ecosystem and enhance productivity.

Industry Associations

As a leading innovator in strong authentication and credential management, ActivIdentity is dedicated to driving industry standards. ActivIdentity belongs to a range of trade groups, industry associations and standards organizations to advance interoperability, ensure the highest technical standards, and promote innovative strong authentication and credential management technologies now and in the future.

As of September 30, 2010, ActivIdentity participated in the following industry associations:

•: GlobalPlatform (GP)
•: The Smart Card Alliance
•: Initiative for Open AuTHentication (OATH)
•: Kantara Initiative
•: American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
•: Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP)
•: Intellect

Intellectual Property

Our success is heavily dependent on our ability to create proprietary technology and to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, as well as our ability to defend against adverse claims of third parties with respect to our technology and intellectual property.

We rely primarily on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, patents, restrictions on disclosure, and other methods to protect our intellectual property. We also enter into

Table of Contents

confidentiality and/or invention assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, and current and potential affiliates, customers, and business partners. We also generally control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other confidential and proprietary information.

As of September 30, 2010, we had 120 patents issued and applications for 110 pending in the U.S. and abroad, covering a wide range of our technology. From time to time, we acquire license rights under U.S. and foreign patents and other proprietary rights of third parties.

Patents may not be awarded with respect to these applications and even if such patents are awarded, such patents may not provide us with sufficient protection of our intellectual property.

Research and Development

We have research and development teams in Fremont, California (United States) and Suresnes (France) that are responsible for the design, development, and release of our products. The research and development function is organized into product management, product architecture, development, quality assurance, and documentation disciplines. When appropriate, we also integrate into our products third party technology that we purchase or license to shorten our time-to-market.

The focus of our research and development efforts is to bring to market enhanced versions of our existing products, as well as new products, in order to address customer needs while maintaining compliance with government and industry standards. Our research and development expenses were $15.9 million, $15.1 million, and $18.9 million in fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Operations

We have established relationships with hardware manufacturers and assemblers and software reproducers. Additionally, we have outsourcing arrangements for product warehousing and fulfillment services. Our global production and distribution capacity supports our current requirements and can readily be increased by augmenting existing production lines with current suppliers. We maintain ownership of all manufacturing tools, molds and software, supply all critical components, and define all manufacturing processes and quality control processes, thereby granting us the ability to relocate the manufacturing process or sub-license the manufacturing rights to a third party supplier should any unforeseen interruption occur.

Our hardware products are manufactured by third party vendors based in China and Singapore. Our hardware products are shipped directly to our distribution partners and customers or to company warehouses in Fremont, California (United States), Hong Kong, Singapore, and Suresnes (France) for subsequent distribution. Software products are produced and packaged in Fremont, California (United States) and Suresnes (France).

Segment Information

We operate in one reportable segment in which we provide management of identity solutions, and accordingly disclose segment information by geographic area only. Information regarding our revenue and property and equipment in the United States and in countries outside the United States is contained in Note—18 Segment Information to our consolidated financial statements included in this report and is incorporated in this section by this reference.

Backlog

Our backlog for products at any point in time is not significant because products are generally delivered upon receipt of order. We do not believe that our backlog at any particular point in time is indicative of future sales levels. The timing and volume of customer orders are difficult to forecast because our customers typically require prompt delivery of products and a majority of our sales are

Table of Contents

booked and delivered in the same quarter. In addition, sales are generally made pursuant to standard purchase orders that can be rescheduled, reduced or canceled prior to delivery with little or no penalty.

Employees

As of September 30, 2010 we employed approximately 218 people on a full-time basis, 111 in the United States and 107 elsewhere. Of the total, 15 were in operations and customer support, 96 were in research and development, 70 were in sales and marketing, and 37 were in general and administration.

Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Set forth below are certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and/or stock price. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant also may impair our business operations.

Risks Relating to the Pending Merger

Our business and stock price may be materially and adversely affected if the merger with ASSA ABLOY is not completed.

On October 11, 2010, we entered into a merger an agreement of merger with ASSA ABLOY and Merger Sub, which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into ActivIdentity, with pursuant to which ActivIdentity surviving would survive the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY. The announcement of the planned merger could have an adverse effect on our revenues in the near term if customers delay, defer, or cancel purchases in response to the announcement. To the extent that the announcement of the merger creates uncertainty among our current or potential customers contemplating purchases of our products or services such that several large customers, or a significant group of small customers, delay purchase decisions pending completion of the planned merger, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected, our quarterly revenues could be substantially below the expectations of market analysts and the market price for our shares of common stock could decline. Furthermore, activities relating to the proposed merger and related uncertainties could cause employees to seek alternative employment and weaken our ability to recruit qualified personnel which could detract from our ability to generate revenue and control costs.

In addition, completion of the pending merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the holders of our common stock of ActivIdentity stockholders. We cannot be certain that these conditions will be met or waived, that the necessary stockholder approval will be obtained or that we will be able to successfully consummate the merger as currently contemplated under the merger agreement or at all. If the merger is not completed, we could be subject to a number of risks that may materially and adversely affect our business and stock price, including:

•: the diversion of our management's attention from our day to day business and the unavoidable disruption to our employees and our relationships with customers which, in turn, may detract from our ability to grow revenues and minimize costs and lead to a loss of market position that we might be unable to regain;
•: the market price of our shares of common stock may decline to the extent the current market price of those shares reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed;

Table of Contents

•: under certain circumstances we could be required to pay ASSA ABLOY a termination fee of approximately $5.0 million;
•: we may experience a negative reaction to any termination of the merger from our customers, employees or affiliates which may adversely impact our future results of operations as a stand-alone entity; and
•: the amount of the costs, fees and expenses and charges related to the merger.

Restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the pending merger with ASSA ABLOY may have a negative impact on our operating results.

We have agreed to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business in connection with the proposed merger with ASSA ABLOY that require us to conduct our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practices, subject to specific limitations. These restrictions may delay or prevent us from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the merger.

Risks Relating to Our Business

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

We have not achieved profitability and we may incur losses for the foreseeable future. In fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, we incurred losses of approximately $5.7 million, $5.5 million, and $76.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, our accumulated deficit was $334.3 million, which represents our net losses since inception. Although we had approximately $78.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and investments as of September 30, 2010, we may not be able to raise additional capital in the event that our current cash and cash equivalents are insufficient.

We will need to achieve incremental revenue growth and manage our costs to achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis thereafter. It is possible that our revenue will grow at a slower rate than we anticipate or that operating expenses will increase beyond our current run rate. The current global economic slowdown could slow customer orders, as well as anticipated revenue growth, and could further delay our prospects for operating profitability.

Our cost-reduction initiatives may not result in the anticipated savings or more efficient operations and may harm our long-term viability.

Over the past several years, we have implemented extensive cost cutting measures and have incurred significant cost-reduction charges as we have attempted to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. We expect that we may undertake further cost-reduction initiatives in the future as we realign our business around areas of strategic focus. Although we believe that it has been and will continue to be necessary to reduce the size and cost of our operations to improve our performance, the reduction in our operations may make it more difficult to develop and market new products and to compete successfully with other companies in our industry. In addition, many of the employees who have been terminated as part of our cost-reduction activities possessed specific knowledge or expertise that may prove to have been important to our operations, and we may be required to rehire them or to hire persons with similar skills in order to develop new products to increase our revenue. These efforts may not result in anticipated cost savings, making it difficult for us to achieve profitability. These cost-reduction initiatives may also preclude us from making complementary acquisitions and/or other potentially significant expenditures that could improve our product offerings, competitiveness or long-term prospects.

Table of Contents

Our operating results may continue to be adversely affected by the current economic environment, unfavorable market and economic conditions.

The current global economic environment may continue to have a negative impact on demand for our services, our business and our foreign operations. The economic environment has or may negatively impact, among other things:

•: Current and future demand for our products;
•: Our customers' continued growth and development of their businesses and our customers' abilities to continue as going concerns;
•: The ability of our customers to maintain their business;
•: Price competition for our products and services;
•: The price of our common stock; or
•: Our liquidity.

In addition, to the extent that the economic environment impacts specific industry and geographic sectors in which many of our customers are concentrated, that may further negatively impact our business. If the economic and market conditions in the U.S. and globally do not improve, or if they further deteriorate, we may experience material adverse impacts on our business, operating results and financial position as a consequence of the above factors or otherwise.

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

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from the sale of our credential management and strong authentication systems and products. We anticipate that substantially all of our future revenue, if any, will also be derived from these products. If for any reason our sale of these products is impeded or if we divest existing product lines as part of our ongoing strategic realignment, and we have not diversified our product offerings, our business and results of operations could be harmed. We have reduced our product offerings as part of our prior restructuring initiatives to focus on our core products and do not expect to diversify our product offerings in the foreseeable future.

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

Our customers consist primarily of medium to large enterprises, governments, system integrators, resellers, distributors, and OEMs. Historically, we have experienced a concentration of revenue in certain of our channel partners and customers. In fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. Additionally, a substantial portion of our total product revenue is generated from the governmental sector. In fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, worldwide government business accounted for approximately 10%, 19%, and 20%, respectively, of total product revenue. Although government spending is currently higher in light of various economic recovery initiatives, diversion of government resources to economic recovery programs and reductions in state and local government spending may harm our business. We expect future revenue variability in this sector due to fluctuations in government ordering patterns and frequent delays associated with larger programs.

Our operating results would be adversely affected if any of the following events occur:

•: The loss of significant customers;
•: The failure of our significant customers to pay us due to their financial difficulties or for any other reason;

Table of Contents

•: The failure of any of our significant channel partners to renew their contracts upon expiration, or the termination by these partners of their contracts;
•: The divestiture of products or product lines, which would cause the loss of related revenue; or
•: Delays in orders from governmental agencies.

We expect to continue to depend upon a small number of large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue, and the occurrence of any of the above events could further extend our reliance on remaining customers.

Our quarterly gross and net margins are difficult to predict, and if we miss quarterly financial expectations, our stock price could decline.

Our quarterly revenue, expense levels, and operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuate from quarter to quarter. It is likely that our operating results in some periods will vary from the guidance we have provided, or otherwise not meet investor expectations. If this happens, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. Fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results may be caused by many factors, including:

•: The size and timing of customer orders which are received unevenly and unpredictably throughout a fiscal year and may be subject to seasonality relating to the United States federal government's fiscal year and related spending patterns;
•: The mix of products licensed and types of license agreements;
•: The effect of generally accepted accounting principles on the timing of revenue recognition; for example, if prices for our products or services vary significantly, we may not maintain vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of undelivered elements which could result in deferring revenue to future periods;
•: The timing of customer payments;
•: The size and timing of revenue recognized in advance of actual customer billings and customers with installment payment schedules that may result in higher accounts receivable balances;
•: Changes in financial markets, which could adversely affect the value of our assets and our liquidity;
•: The relative mix of our software and services revenue, as well as the relative mix of product offerings, which could change in connection with strategic realignment initiatives;
•: The application of new accounting regulations, which could negatively impact results; and
•: Changes in currency exchange rates.

We have a long and often complicated sales cycle, which can result in significant revenue fluctuations between periods.

The sales cycle for our products is typically long and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little control. The typical sales cycle is six to nine months for an enterprise customer and over twelve months for a network service provider or government. As our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, a small fluctuation in the timing of sales can cause our operating results to vary significantly between periods. If revenue falls significantly below anticipated levels, our business would be negatively impacted.

Table of Contents

Purchasing decisions for our products and systems may be subject to delay due to many factors that are outside of our control, such as:

•: Political and economic uncertainties;
•: Time required for a prospective customer to recognize the need for our products;
•: Time and complexity for us to assess and determine a prospective customer's IT environment;
•: Customer's requirements for customized features and functionalities;
•: Turnover of key personnel at existing and prospective customers;
•: Customer's internal budgeting process; and
•: Customer's internal procedures for the approval of large purchases.

Furthermore, the implementation process can be subject to delays resulting from issues associated with incorporating new technologies into existing networks, deployment of a new network system or preservation of existing network infrastructure and data migration to the new system. Full deployment of our technology and products for such networks, servers, or other host systems can be scheduled to occur over an extended period and the licensing of systems and products, including client and server software, smart cards, readers, and tokens, and the recognition of maintenance revenue, would also occur over this period. This can negatively impact the results of our operations in the near term, resulting in unanticipated fluctuations between periods.

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

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

We believe smart cards are an emerging platform for providing digital identity for network applications and for the procurement of services from private enterprise and government agencies. A key element of our business model is premised on the smart card becoming a common access platform for network computing in the future. Further, we have focused on developing our products for certain operating systems related to smart card deployment and use. Should platforms or form factors other than the smart card emerge as a preferred platform or should operating systems other than the specific systems we have focused on emerge as preferred operating systems, our current product offerings could be at a disadvantage. If this were to occur, our future growth and operating results would be negatively affected. Additionally, consolidation within this industry has created a more difficult competitive environment and may result in the broader adoption of competing platforms and systems.

In addition, the digital identity market has evolving industry-wide standards. While we are actively engaged in discussions with industry peers to define what these standards should be, it is possible that any standards eventually adopted could prove disadvantageous to or incompatible with our business model and product lines. Uncertainty surrounding the Homeland Security Presidential Directive No. 12 ("HSPD 12") may affect sales of our products to government agencies. If our products do not comply with the requirements of HSPD 12, we may not be able to sell to agencies that must comply with this Directive.

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

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

If we are unable to enter into cooperative arrangements in the future or if we lose any of our current strategic or cooperative relationships, our business could be adversely affected. We do not control the time and resources devoted to such activities by parties with whom we have relationships. In addition, we may not have the resources available to satisfy our commitments, which may adversely affect these relationships. These relationships may not continue, may not be commercially successful, or may require the expenditure of significant financial, personnel, and administrative resources from time to time. Further, certain of our products and services compete with the products and services of our strategic partners, which may adversely affect our relationships with these partners, which could adversely affect our business.

We may be adversely affected by operating in international markets.

Our international operations subject us to risks associated with operating in foreign markets, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. International revenue and expenses make up a substantial portion of our business. A severe economic decline in any of our major foreign markets could make it difficult for our customers to pay us on a timely basis. Any such failure to pay, or deferral of payment, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. During fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, markets outside of North America accounted for 46%, 53%, and 58%, respectively, of total revenue.

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

•: Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
•: Potentially adverse tax consequences;
•: Export controls relating to encryption technology;
•: Tariffs and other trade barriers;
•: Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
•: Laws that restrict our ability, and make it costly, to reduce our workforce;
•: Changing political conditions;
•: Exposures to different legal standards; and
•: Burden of complying with a variety of laws and legal systems.

While we present our financial statements in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our business is conducted outside of the United States, and we incur a significant portion of our expenses in Euros, Australian dollars and British Pounds. Some revenue transactions are denominated in foreign

Table of Contents

currencies as well. Significant fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollars and foreign currencies may adversely affect our future operating results. Due to fluctuations in foreign currencies we recorded losses of $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $2.0 million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively on our consolidated statements of operations.

We rely on certain key employees. If we are not able to build and maintain a strong management team, our ability to manage and expand our business will be impacted. Employee turnover could adversely impact our revenue, costs and productivity.

We rely on the services of Grant Evans, our Chief Executive Officer, Jacques Kerrest, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and John Boyer, our Senior Vice President Worldwide Engineering. Michael Sotnick, our Executive Vice President Worldwide Sales and Field Operations, left the company in July 2010. We may experience further turnover in management in the future and, as a result, we face challenges in effectively managing our operations during these periods of transition. If new key employees and other members of our senior management team cannot work together effectively, or if other members of our senior management team resign, our ability to effectively manage our business may be impacted.

In part due to our restructuring efforts over the past several years, we have become increasingly dependent on a smaller number of employees. If key employees leave ActivIdentity, we suffer loss of productivity while new employees are hired or promoted into vacant positions. The departure of highly skilled key employees sometimes results in a loss of talent or knowledge that is difficult to replace. There are also costs of recruiting and relocating new employees to fill these positions. For example, the recruiting market for experienced personnel is very competitive, and we may be limited in our ability to attract and retain key operations talent if the need should arise. New employees must learn the ActivIdentity organization, products, and procedures. All of this takes time, reduces productivity and increases cost. The potential adverse impact of employee turnover is greater for situations involving senior positions in the Company, and our turnover rate may be higher if key employees decided to leave on their own accord. If turnover increases, the adverse impact of turnover could materially affect our costs, productivity, or ability to respond quickly to the competitive environment.

We have recorded significant write downs in recent periods for impairment of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and may have similar write downs in future periods.

During fiscal 2010, in connection with the CoreStreet acquisition, we recorded $9.4 million of goodwill on our balance sheet representing approximately 8% of our total assets. At September 30, 2009, we had no goodwill on our balance sheet. As of September 30, 2010, we had $9.1 million of other intangible assets on our balance sheet representing approximately 8% of our total assets.

If the Company's enterprise value at a future date is lower than the enterprise value as of our last impairment evaluation, the evaluation could result in an impairment of goodwill and / or other intangible asset impairment charges if the circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Also, if our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the use of our other intangible assets drop below the carrying value of such assets, an additional impairment charge may be required.

We may terminate additional non-core activities in the future or determine that our long-lived assets or acquired intangible assets have been impaired. Any future termination or impairment related charges could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Table of Contents

While we believe we currently have effective internal control over financial reporting, we may identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that could cause investors to lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and result in a decrease in the value of our securities.

We will continue to evaluate, upgrade and enhance our internal controls. Because of inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, errors or omissions, including those caused by human error, the circumvention of overriding controls, the violation of company policies or practices (whether negligent or willful) or fraud, and any projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal controls to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate. While we believe that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of our internal control including any failure to implement or difficulty in implementing required new or improved controls, our business and results of operations could be harmed, the results of operations we report could be subject to adjustments, we could fail to be able to provide reasonable assurance as to our financial results or the effectiveness of our internal controls or meet our reporting obligations, and there could be a material adverse effect on our stock price and business.

Implementation of the new FASB rules and the issuance of new laws or other accounting regulations, or reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations, could materially impact our stated results.

From time to time, the government, courts and financial accounting rule making bodies issue new laws or accounting regulations, or modify or reinterpret existing ones.

There may be other future changes in FASB rules or in laws, interpretations or regulations that would affect our financial results or the way in which we present them. Additionally, changes in the laws or regulations could have adverse effects on our business that would affect our ability to compete, both nationally and internationally.

We must comply with European governmental regulations setting environmental standards.

Our activities in Europe require that we comply with European Union Directives with respect to product quality assurance standards and environmental standards. Directive 2002/95/ec of the European Parliament on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, known as the RoHS Directive, became effective on July 1, 2006. If we fail to maintain compliance, we may be restricted from selling our products in the European Union and this could adversely affect our results of operations. European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste, electrical and electronic equipment, known as the WEEE Directive, makes manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products. The WEEE Directive became effective on August 13, 2005. We may incur financial responsibility for the collection, recycling, treatment or disposal of products covered under the WEEE Directive. Because the EU member states have not fully implemented the WEEE Directive, the nature and extent of the costs to comply and fees or penalties associated with noncompliance are unknown at this time. Costs to comply with the WEEE Directive and similar future legislation, if applicable, may also include legal and regulatory costs and insurance costs. We may also be required to take additional reserves for costs associated with compliance with these regulations.

We or our suppliers may be impacted by new regulations related to climate change.

In addition to the European environmental regulations noted above, we or our suppliers may become subject to new laws enacted with regards to climate change. In the event that new laws are enacted or current laws are modified in countries in which we or our suppliers operate, our flow of product may be impacted and/or the costs of handling the potential waste associated with our products

may increase dramatically, either of which could result in a significant negative impact on our ability to operate or operate profitably.

The protection of our intellectual property rights is crucial to our business and, if third parties use our intellectual property without our consent, our business could be damaged.

Our success is heavily dependent on protecting intellectual property rights in our proprietary technology, which is primarily our software. It is difficult for us to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights for a number of reasons, including:

•: Policing unauthorized copying or use of our products is difficult and expensive;
•: Software piracy is a persistent problem in the software industry;
•: Our patents may not cover the full scope of our product offerings and may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may be enforceable only in certain jurisdictions; and
•: Our shrink-wrap licenses may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions.

In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect intellectual property rights to as great an extent as those of the United States and France. We believe that effective protection of intellectual property rights is unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries, creating an increased risk of potential loss of proprietary technology due to piracy and misappropriation.

We also seek to protect our confidential information and trade secrets through the use of nondisclosure agreements with our employees, contractors, vendors, and partners. However, there is a risk that our trade secrets may be disclosed or published without our authorization, and in these situations it may be difficult or costly for us to enforce our rights and retrieve published trade secrets.

We sometimes contract with third parties to provide development services to us, and we routinely ask them to sign agreements that require them to assign intellectual property to us that is developed on our behalf. However, there is a risk that they will fail to disclose to us such intellectual property, or that they may have inadequate rights to such intellectual property. This could happen, for example, if they failed to obtain the necessary invention assignment agreements with their own employees.

We have been involved in litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may become involved in further litigation in the future. This type of litigation is costly and could negatively impact our operating results. See "Item 3 Legal Proceedings."

Our operating results could suffer if we are subject to intellectual property infringement claims.

We may face claims of infringement on proprietary rights of others that could subject us to costly litigation and possible restriction on the use of such proprietary rights. There is a risk that potential infringement or invalidity claims may be asserted or prosecuted against us and our products may be found to have infringed the rights of third parties. Such claims are costly to defend and could subject us to substantial litigation costs. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may be required to modify our products or may be forced to obtain a license for such intellectual property rights. However, we may not be able to modify our products or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Table of Contents

We may pursue strategic acquisitions and investments that could have an adverse effect on our business if they are unsuccessful.

As part of our business strategy, we have acquired companies, technologies, product lines and personnel to complement our internally developed products. We expect that we will have a similar business strategy going forward. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:

•: Our acquisitions may not enhance our business strategy;
•: We may apply overly optimistic valuation assumptions and models for the acquired businesses, and we may not realize anticipated cost synergies and revenue as quickly as we expected or at all;
•: We may not integrate acquired businesses, technologies, products, personnel and operations effectively;
•: Management's attention may be diverted from our day to day operations, resulting in disruption of our ongoing business;
•: We may not adopt an appropriate business model for integrated businesses, particularly with respect to our "go to market" strategy;
•: Customer demand for the acquired company's products may not meet our expectations;
•: We may incur higher than anticipated costs for the support and development of acquired products;
•: The acquired products may not be compatible with our existing products, making integration of acquired products difficult and costly and potentially delaying the release of other, internally developed products;
•: We may have insufficient revenue to offset the increased expenses associated with acquisitions;
•: We may not retain key employees, customers, distributors and vendors of the companies we acquire;
•: Ineffective internal controls of the acquired company may require remediation as part of the integration process;
•: We may be required to assume pre-existing contractual relationships, which may be costly for us to terminate and disruptive for our customers;
•: The acquisitions may result in infringement, trade secret, product liability or other litigation: and
•: If we are unable to acquire companies that facilitate our strategic objectives, we may not have sufficient time to develop our own products and may not remain competitive.

As a result, it is possible that the contemplated benefits of these or any future acquisitions may not materialize within the time periods or to the extent anticipated.

Changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effect tax rates.

We are a U.S. based multinational organization subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Unanticipated changes in our tax rates could affect our future results of operations. Our future effective tax rates could be unfavorable affected by changes in, or interpretation of, tax rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business, by lapses of the availability of the U.S. research and development tax credits, or by the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities as a result of inter-company transfer pricing policies.

As a multinational organization, we conduct business and are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment and analysis is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision and related tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, intercompany transactions and calculations result in a variety of uncertain tax positions. Our intercompany pricing policies are subject to audits in the various foreign tax jurisdictions. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or potential tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

We have no unresolved staff comments as of the date of this filing.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our properties consist primarily of leased office facilities for sales, marketing, research and development, and support and administrative personnel. Our corporate headquarters are located in Fremont, California. The table below shows the lease expiration dates (or the applicable cancellation period) and approximate square footage of the facilities that we lease as of September 30, 2010.

Location		Lease Expiration

Fremont, California(1)	41,000	February 2020
Suresnes, France	21,000	June 2015
Cambridge, Massachusetts	11,500	November 2011
Canberra, Australia	1,200	July 2012

(1): During fiscal 2010, we entered into an amendment to the lease agreement. The amendment extends the lease term to 10 years from the date of amendment, reduces the office space from 41,000 square feet to 29,000 square feet beginning December 1, 2010, suspends the monthly cash portion of the rent payments for the first eight months of the new term and significantly reduces the annual rent expense. The amendment also provides that we may terminate the lease at any point from the date of amendment, subject to a $1.2 million penalty if terminated within the first 5 years.

We also lease various other smaller properties primarily for our sales and marketing personnel under leases, which are generally for a period of one year or less. We believe that our properties are in good condition, adequately maintained and suitable for the conduct of our business. Certain of our lease agreements provide options to extend the lease for additional specified periods. For additional information regarding our obligations under leases, see Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies to consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. Any claims or regulatory actions against us, whether valid or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time, and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.

States District Court in Delaware. The complaints name ActivIdentity and each member of the ActivIdentity Board as defendants. The lawsuits allege a variety of claims, including that our board members breached fiduciary duties owed to ActivIdentity stockholders by failing to engage in a fair process and failing to maximize stockholder value in approving the Merger. Several of the complaints also allege that ActivIdentity aided and abetted the members of the ActivIdentity Board in the alleged breach of their fiduciary duties. The Plaintiffs seek relief that includes, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, rescission—to the extent the Merger terms have already been implemented, and the payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs.

On December 9, 2010, ActivIdentity and the individual defendants in the following actions entered into a memorandum of understanding: (i) in the Superior Court of Alameda County, California (the "Court"), captioned Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust v. ActivIdentity Corp., et al., RG10541071, Lin v. ActivIdentity Corp., et al., RG10541379, Weisleder v. ActivIdentity Corp., et al., RG10541759, and Gallagher v. Evans, et al., RG10542346 (the "California State Actions"), (ii) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Beverley & Lionel Sacks v. ActivIdentity, et al., 10-4705-JCS, and (the "California Federal Action"), and (iii) in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Tomaselli v. ActivIdentity, et al., 5928 (the "Delaware State Action")—collectively referred to herein as "the Actions." The memorandum of understanding provides for the settlement and dismissal with prejudice of the Actions, subject to customary conditions, including completion of appropriate settlement documentation, consummation of the Merger and all necessary court approvals. Although we believe that the Actions are without merit, we have entered into the memorandum of understanding to avoid any risk of materially delaying the Merger and to minimize the expense of defending the actions. The settlement and dismissal with prejudice—if completed and approved by the court—will resolve all of the claims that were or could have been brought by the plaintiffs in the Actions. In connection with the settlement and dismissal with prejudice, defendants agreed to cause to be paid to plaintiffs' counsel an amount up to $475,000 for its fees and expenses in the action, provided plaintiffs obtain court approval for any such amount. As part of the memorandum of understanding, we also agreed to file supplemental disclosures on (i) the background information leading up to the Merger, and (ii) the opinion of our financial advisor. We expect to file these supplemental disclosures on December 10, 2010.

On October 1, 2008, the Company filed a complaint in the Northern District of California, asserting U.S. Patent No. 6,575,360 against Intercede Group PLC and Intercede Ltd. (collectively, "Intercede"). On January 16, 2009, Intercede filed their answers, including counterclaims seeking declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability. On February 9, 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Intercede's counterclaims and to strike certain of Intercede's defenses. On March 26, 2009, Intercede filed a First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, amending their previously-asserted defenses and counterclaims, and asserting additional counterclaims for monopolization, attempted monopolization, fraud, and unfair competition. On May 15, 2009, the Company filed a second motion to dismiss Intercede's counterclaims for monopolization, attempted monopolization, fraud and unfair competition. On September 11, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company's motion to dismiss. On September 28, 2009, Intercede filed a Second Amended Answer and Counterclaims. On December 22, 2009, Intercede filed a claim in the U.K. High Court of Justice for revocation of Patent EP [UK] 0 981 803 and a declaration of non-infringement. On March 25, 2010, the Company and Intercede entered into a patent license agreement on mutually acceptable terms. This patent license agreement settles the patent infringement case brought by ActivIdentity before the U.S. District Court of Northern California, and a related case brought by Intercede in the United Kingdom High Court. Based on this agreement, all lawsuits over the "360 patents" (ActivIdentity U.S. patent 6,575,360 and ActivIdentity patent EP [UK] 0 981 803) were dismissed, bringing an end to all patent infringement litigation between the two companies.

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with many of its customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third-party to the extent any such claim alleges that an ActivIdentity product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or violates any other proprietary rights of that third-party. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability for these indemnification agreements was recorded at September 30, 2010 or September 30, 2009.

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements indemnifying its executive officers and directors for certain events and occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company's request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance designed to enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. No liability for these indemnification agreements was recorded at September 30, 2010 or September 30, 2009.

The preliminary purchase price allocation can be found in Note 3—Business Combinations to consolidated financial statements. The CoreStreet results of operation have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition on December 14, 2009.
•: On February 9, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the lease agreement for our headquarters office building in Fremont, California. The amendment extends the lease term to 10 years from the date of amendment, reduces the office space from 41,000 square feet to 29,000 square feet beginning December 1, 2010, suspends the monthly cash portion of the rent payments for the first eight months of the new term and significantly reduces the annual rent expense. The amendment also provides that we may terminate the lease at any point from the date of amendment, subject to a $1.2 million penalty if terminated within the first 5 years.

Table of Contents

•: On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase up to $10 million or approximately 8% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock in the open market from time to time over the subsequent twelve months.

REVENUE

Total revenue, mix by type, and period-over-period changes are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,						Change from Prior Fiscal Years

Total revenue	$	57,706	$	62,321	$	59,009	$	(4,615	)	-7	%	$	3,312		6	%

We have several revenue streams, each of which is unique in terms of its recurring nature, transactional pricing, and volume characteristics. Our software revenues are driven by orders of significant size that are dependent on the closing of the transactions for revenue recognition purposes and can result in significant variances from period to period. As hardware revenue is generally derived from the sale of software products, the variability in software revenue is the driving factor in the fluctuations of the hardware revenue stream, although timing of hardware revenue may lag the initial

Table of Contents

sale of related software. Maintenance revenue, the most significant component of service revenue, is tied directly to the installed base of customers, which fluctuates with our ability to attract new customers and the level of renewal activity with existing customers. The timing of closure of software transactions is the single most relevant factor for the Company's recorded revenue in any given period.

Software Revenue

Our software revenue is comprised of software license revenue and professional services revenue essential to the functionality of our software. Software revenue decreased 10%, or $2.4 million, to $21.5 million in fiscal 2010 from $24.0 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in software revenue was primarily due to the decline in software revenue in the EMEA region and completion of a customized software project in 2009, partially offset by an increase in revenue from products sales through our acquisition of CoreStreet. For further information regarding the acquisition of CoreStreet, see Note 3—Business Combinations to consolidated financial statements.

Software revenue increased $4.4 million, or 22%, in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily driven by: (i) software customization, revenue of our ActivClient™ software linked to PIV and PIVi Card rollouts, as well as revenue of our authentication products; and (ii) a change in our licensing arrangement for our Single Sign-On product with a customer resulting in an increase in software revenue and a decrease in service revenue.

Hardware Revenue

Hardware revenue is comprised of tokens, readers, smart cards, and related equipment, generally to complement revenue of related software products. Hardware revenue decreased by 14%, or $2.2 million, to $13.6 million in fiscal 2010 from $15.8 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in hardware revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in our token sales in Asia Pacific and smart card and reader sales in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA") and North America.

Hardware revenue increased by $0.7 million, or 5%, compared to fiscal 2008 to $15.8 million in fiscal 2009. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in token revenue to European and Asia Pacific banking customers.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is comprised of post-contract customer support and professional services not essential to the functionality of software, including installation, training, and consulting. Service revenue was unchanged at $22.6 million for each of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.

Service revenue decreased by 7% or $1.8 million from fiscal 2008 to $22.6 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in revenue was due primarily to a change in our licensing arrangement for our Single Sign-On product with a customer resulting in a decrease in service revenue and an increase in software revenue. Service revenue, not including our licensing arrangement for our Single Sign-On product with a customer, increased by $0.8 million compared to the prior year.

North America revenue is primarily derived from deployments of our smart card-based software products, such as ActivClient™, the ActivIdentity ActivID™ Card Management System and ActivIdentity Secure Login™ Single Sign On to various departments of the U.S. federal government and our enterprise customers. Revenue in North America increased $1.8 million to 54% of total revenue in fiscal 2010 from 47% in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily driven by our software revenue contributed in part by new software product offerings as a result of our acquisition of CoreStreet. For further information regarding the acquisition of CoreStreet, see Note 3—Business Combinations to consolidated financial statements. Revenue in North America increased $4.5 million to 47% of total revenue in fiscal 2009 compared to 42% of total revenue in fiscal 2008. The increase is due primarily to government and enterprise investments in PIV and PIVi Card rollouts, as well as increased revenue from our authentication products.

EMEA revenue is primarily derived from European deployments of our strong authentication suite of products, such as ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ AAA Server for Remote Access and ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ Authentication Server and authentication devices to various enterprise and financial customers. Revenue is also derived from deployments of our smart card-based software products to various government and enterprise customers. Revenue in EMEA decreased $3.2 million to 41% of total revenue in fiscal 2010 from 43% in fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased spending by financial services and enterprise customers for our products. Revenue in EMEA decreased $2.4 million to 43% of total revenue in fiscal 2009 compared to 50% of total revenue in fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased spending by and the consolidation of financial institutions. The loss of a significant customer in EMEA during fiscal 2007 due to consolidation in the banking industry negatively impacted fiscal 2008 EMEAan revenue.

Asia Pacific revenue is primarily derived from deployments of our strong authentication suite of products, authentication devices, and our smart card-based software products to various government, enterprise and financial customers. Revenue in Asia Pacific decreased $3.2 million to 5% of total revenue in fiscal 2010 from 10% in fiscal 2009. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in software customization revenue as a project related to the issuance of smart card driver's licenses was significantly recognized in fiscal 2009 and a decrease in token sales to the Asian banking sector.

Table of Contents

Revenue in Asia Pacific increased by $1.2 million to 10% of total revenue in fiscal 2009 compared to 8% of total revenue in fiscal 2008. The increase was driven primarily by a software customization project related to card management.

COST OF REVENUE

Total cost of revenue, costs as a percentage of corresponding revenue, and period-over-period changes was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,

	2010			2009			2008			2010 vs. 2009					2009 vs. 2008

Cost of Software Revenue

Cost of software revenue includes the cost of professional services associated with customization essential to the functionality of software. Cost of software revenue decreased by $3.0 million, or 71%, to $1.2 million in fiscal 2010 from $4.2 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in software cost was primarily due to decreasing engineering service costs as a result of a large software customization project for the issuance of smart card driver's licenses that was largely recognized in fiscal 2009.

The $3.2 million increase in fiscal 2009 in software cost of revenue from fiscal 2008 was primarily driven by increased engineering service costs incurred on a large software customization project for the issuance of smart card driver's licenses. Margins were adversely impacted as these professional services revenue have significantly more direct costs than traditional product software revenue.

Cost of Hardware Revenue

Cost of hardware revenue includes costs associated with the manufacturing and shipping of product, logistics, operations, warranty costs and charges related to excess and obsolete inventory. Hardware product margins are influenced by numerous factors including hardware product mix, inventory adjustments, pricing, geographic mix and foreign currency exchange rates. Many of these factors influence, or are interrelated with, other factors. As a result, it is difficult to precisely quantify the impact of each item individually to our hardware margins. The majority of our smart card and reader revenue reflects products manufactured for us by original equipment manufacturers that accordingly have lower margins compared to tokens, which are manufactured for us by contract manufacturers and yield higher gross margins.

Cost of hardware revenue decreased $1.1, million or 13%, to $6.9 million in fiscal 2010 from $8.0 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in hardware cost was primarily the result of lower sales volume and lower excess and obsolete inventory charges.

Table of Contents

The cost of hardware revenue decreased $1.6 million or 17%, to $8.0 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $9.6 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in hardware cost resulted primarily from decreases in: (i) salary and related costs from a reduction in headcount made late in fiscal 2008; (ii) freight and inventory costs from improved inventory management; and (iii) cost of raw materials related to the mix of hardware revenue.

Cost of Service Revenue

Cost of service revenue consists of personnel costs and expenses incurred in providing post-contract customer support and professional services not essential to software such as installation, training, and consulting. Cost of service revenue increased $0.4 million, or 5%, to $8.1 million in fiscal 2010 from $7.7 million in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to increases in engineering expenses for customer sustaining work associated with maintenance and support, partially offset by lower professional services expenses.

Cost of service revenue decreased by $3.1 million, or 48%, to $7.7 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $10.8 million in fiscal 2008, as resources during the current year were reallocated to software customization contracts as well as a decline in service revenue projects.

Amortization of Developed Technology and Patents

Amortization of acquired developed technology and patents includes amortization of technology acquired as part of our acquisitions and purchase of certain patents and related intellectual property from third parties. Amortization expense in fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $1.0 million, $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively and consistent with the scheduled amortization of acquired developed technology and patents, as certain items were acquired and others become fully amortized.

OPERATING EXPENSES

A substantial proportion of our operating expenses are fixed in the short term. Accordingly, a small variation in the timing for recognition of revenue can cause significant variations in operating results across periods.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses and period-over-period changes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2010			2009			2008
Sales and marketing	$	17,516		$	19,572		$	25,602
Percentage change from comparable prior period		-11	%		-24	%		1	%
As a percentage of total revenue		30	%		31	%		43	%
Headcount, end of period		70			69			90

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other payroll expenses, as well as stock-based compensation expense, commissions, travel, depreciation, costs associated with marketing programs, promotions, trade shows, and allocations of facilities and information technology costs.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $2.1 million, or 11%, to $17.5 million in fiscal 2010 from $19.6 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to lower salaries and related benefits, lower severance cost, lower commission resulting from a decline in total revenue, partially offset by an increase in marketing to support sales efforts and brand recognition.

Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $6.0 million, or 24%, to $19.6 million in fiscal 2009 from $25.6 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in expense was driven primarily by a 23% reduction in headcount during the year and the related expenses as well as a decrease in spending on marketing programs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses and period-over-period changes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,

	2010			2009			2008
Research and development	$	15,892		$	15,053		$	18,867
Percentage change from comparable prior period		6	%		-20	%		-5	%
As a percentage of total revenue		28	%		24	%		32	%
Headcount, end of period		96			97			115

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, costs of components used in research, and development activities, travel, depreciation, and allocations of facilities and information technology costs.

Research and development expenses increased $0.8 million, or 6%, to $15.9 million in fiscal 2010 from $15.1 million in fiscal 2009. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to salaries and benefits for engineers that in fiscal 2009 were assigned to a software customization project, and as a result, such costs were recorded in cost of revenue. The remaining increase was due to higher consulting expenses driven by intellectual property consulting and engineering outsourcing, higher office expenses, partially offset by lower salaries and related benefits and lower severance expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased $3.8 million, or 20%, to $15.1 million in fiscal 2009 from $18.9 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in expenses was primarily the result of reducing headcount by 16% during the year and the associated expenses as well as outside consulting expenses. Research and development expenses were also reduced in 2009 as costs were classified as cost of software revenue for work related to a software customization project.

General and Administration

General and administration expenses and period-over-period changes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,

	2010			2009			2008
General and administration	$	15,785		$	12,769		$	11,380
Percentage change from comparable prior period		24	%		12	%		-6	%
As a percentage of total revenue		27	%		20	%		19	%
Headcount, end of period		37			39			34

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for administration, finance, human resources, and legal, as well as professional fees related to legal, audit and accounting, costs associated with SOX compliance, and an allocation of facilities and information technology costs.

Table of Contents

General and administration expenses increased $3.0 million, or 24%, to $15.7 million in fiscal 2010 from $12.8 million in fiscal 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher legal and professional service expenses related to intellectual property litigation with Intercede, the acquisition of CoreStreet and pending acquisition of the Company by ASSA ABLOY Inc.

General and administration expenses increased $1.4 million, or 12%, to $12.8 million in fiscal 2009 from $11.4 million in fiscal 2008 primarily as a result of a change in the manner that executive officer and board of directors' costs were allocated. All amounts were allocated to general and administration instead of other departments during fiscal 2009. Management believes these costs are properly reported as general and administration expenses.

Restructuring Expenses

Restructuring expenses consist of severance and other costs associated with the reduction of headcount and facility exit costs. Facility exit costs consist primarily of future minimum lease payments net of estimated sub-lease income, if any on buildings we have vacated. For a discussion of restructuring plans, see Note 11—Restructuring Liability to consolidated financial statements.

There was an adjustment of $0.4 million made to the restructuring expense during fiscal 2010, as a result of an amendment of a facilities lease agreement and future termination of the sublease for a portion of the office building for which the restructuring reserve was recorded in prior periods.

There were no adjustments made to the restructuring expense during fiscal 2009.

There was an adjustment of $70,000 made to the restructuring expense during fiscal 2008.

Although the Company does not expect to incur significant additional charges related to previous restructurings, future restructuring activity could result in additional charges.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets

Amortization of other intangible assets includes amortization of customer contracts, trademark, and trade name intangibles capitalized in acquisitions.

Amortization of other intangible assets for fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $1.0 million, $0.1 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.

The amortization expense for fiscal 2010 increased $0.9 million compared to fiscal 2009. The increase is primarily due to recently acquired amortizable intangible assets from the acquisition of CoreStreet during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, partially offset by certain items becoming fully amortized. For a discussion of other intangible assets, see Note—8 Other Intangible Assets, net to consolidated financial statements and for a discussion of CoreStreets acquisition, see Note—3 Business Combinations to consolidated financial statements.

Write-down of Goodwill

In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350 20 35-1, we test recorded goodwill for impairment at least annually.

At September 30, 2010, goodwill recorded on our balance sheet was $9.4 million as a result of our acquisition of CoreStreet. We performed our annual review for impairment of goodwill as of September 30, 2010 and concluded that our goodwill balance was not impaired.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, there was no (zero) goodwill recorded on our balance sheet. During fiscal 2008, based on indicators of potential impairment, we performed an interim impairment test of goodwill and determined the carrying value of goodwill of $35.9 million was fully impaired. As a

Table of Contents

result, goodwill of $35.9 million was written off as a non-cash charge to the Statement of Operations during fiscal 2008.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income and period-over-period changes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,

	2010			2009			2008
Interest income	$	564		$	1,710		$	4,659
Percentage change from comparable prior period		-67	%		-63	%		-25	%
As a percentage of total revenue		1	%		3	%		8	%

Interest income consists of interest income on the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and investments. Interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 67%, to $0.6 million in fiscal 2010 from $1.7 million in fiscal 2009. The reduction of interest income was due primarily to lower average cash invested and lower average prevailing market interest rates during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.

Interest income decreased $2.9 million, or 63%, to $1.7 million in fiscal 2009 from $4.7 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in interest income was due to lower average cash invested in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 and lower average prevailing market interest rates in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Other income (expense) and period-over-period changes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,

	2010			2009			2008
Other income (expense), net	$	3,169		$	(508	)	$	(25,190	)
Percentage change from comparable prior period		-724	%		-98	%		-832	%
As a percentage of total revenue		5	%		1	%		43	%

Other income (expense), net, consists of foreign exchange gains and losses, primarily caused by the revaluation of inter-company balances, and other-than-temporary impairment of investments.

In fiscal 2010, other income (expense) consisted of:

•: $4.1 million of realized gain on the sale of long-term investments in auction rate securities.
•: ($0.7) million of net foreign exchange losses.
•: ($0.3) million of impairment of marketable securities.

In fiscal 2009, other income (expense) consisted of:

•: ($1.2) million of net foreign exchange losses.
•: $0.4 million of realized gains on the settlement of foreign invoices.
•: $0.3 million of other miscellaneous items.

In fiscal 2008, other income (expense) consisted of:

•: Other-than-temporary impairment of auction rate security holdings of ($21.2) million (for additional discussion, see Note 4—Investments to consolidated financial statements).

Table of Contents

•: A ($1.9) million loss associated with the reclassification of accumulated translation adjustment losses on the liquidation of an inactive Australian subsidiary.
•: ($2.0) million of net foreign exchange losses.

INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT)

The income tax provision (benefit) was $0.2 million, $(0.3) million and $(0.5) million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fiscal 2010 tax provision consists of tax expense in various foreign jurisdictions of $0.4 million offset by a tax benefit of $(0.2) million related to research and development tax credits generated in France that are refundable within three years if not used to offset income. The fiscal 2009 tax benefit is related to research and development tax credits generated in France that are refundable within three years if not used to offset income. The fiscal 2008 tax benefit consists of tax expense in various foreign jurisdictions of $0.4 million, offset by a tax benefit of $(0.9) million related to research and development tax credits generated in France that are refundable within three years if not used to offset income. Generally, the Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates due to the fact that we have recorded a valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets as we do not consider the generation of taxable income necessary to realize their benefits to be more likely than not.

MINORITY INTEREST

In February 2003, we completed the change in domicile of the publicly listed company, ActivIdentity Europe S.A. (formerly known as ActivCard S.A) from the Republic of France to the United States by acquiring 94.8% of the outstanding securities of ActivIdentity Europe S.A. In July 2003, we completed a follow-on exchange offer in which we acquired approximately an additional 4.6% of the outstanding securities of ActivIdentity Europe S.A. During fiscal 2006, we purchased an additional 173,736 outstanding securities of ActivIdentity Europe S.A. No additional shares were acquired during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008. The non-controlling interest in ActivIdentity Europe S.A. at September 30, 2010, was approximately 0.2%, representing outstanding ordinary shares and ADS of ActivIdentity Europe S.A. that were not exchanged or sold to us as of that date. The change in non-controlling interest was $(1,000), $99,000 and $50,000 in fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following sections discuss the effect of changes in the Company's balance sheet and cash flows and contractual obligations on our liquidity and capital resources.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, MARKETABLE SECURITIES, AND INVESTMENTS

The following table summarizes the Company's cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, long-term investments, and restricted cash (in thousands):

	$	78,239	$	92,222	$	(13,983	)

Table of Contents

The portfolio of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash is managed by several financial institutions. Our investments portfolio decreased by $14.0 million, or 15%, to $78.2 million as of September 30, 2010 from $92.2 million as of September 30, 2009 primarily due to $12.8 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired, as consideration for the CoreStreet acquisition. For additional information regarding the details of our investment portfolio, see Note—4 Investments to consolidated financial statements.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products, or technologies. A portion of our cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, or to acquire products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies.

The following table summarizes the Company's cash inflows/outflows by category (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.6 million for fiscal 2010, which resulted from net loss of $5.7 million adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization charges of $3.1 million, stock-based compensation of $3.4 million, and unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.6 million, partially offset by $4.1 million from the gain on sale of investments.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million for fiscal 2009, which resulted from non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization of $3.6 million, stock-based compensation of $3.1 million, and unrealized foreign exchange loss of $1.6 million, partially offset by a net loss of $5.5 million, and net changes in assets and liabilities of $1.9 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $8.1 million for fiscal 2008, which resulted from a net loss of $76.5 million adjusted for non cash items, including goodwill impairment charge of $35.9 million, impairment of investments of $21.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $4.1 million, stock-based compensation of $2.9 million, currency translation loss of $1.9 million, and unrealized foreign exchange loss of $1.8 million, and net changes in assets and liabilities of $0.6 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.7 million for fiscal 2010 and was primarily due to $15.0 million from sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities, principally the sales and maturities of ARS, partially offset by $12.8 million used to acquire CoreStreet and $0.5 million paid for purchases of property and equipment. For additional information regarding the details of our investment portfolio, see Note—4 Investments to consolidated financial statements. For additional

Table of Contents

information regarding the details of our acquisition of CoreStreet, see Note—3 Business Combinations to consolidated financial statements.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.3 million for fiscal 2009 and was primarily due to $6.5 million from sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities, partially offset by $1.5 million from the reclassification of a deposit to restricted cash and $0.8 million paid for purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $47.7 million for fiscal 2008 and was primarily due to $85.2 million from sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities, partially offset by $37.2 million in purchases of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.1 million for fiscal 2010 and was due to repurchases of common stock of $2.4 million, offset partially by proceeds from exercise of employee stock options of $0.3 million. For additional information regarding the stock repurchase program, see Note 16—Stock Repurchase Program to consolidated financial statements.

There were no cash flows from financing activities for fiscal 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $25,000 for fiscal 2008 and was due to proceeds from exercise of employee stock options.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

The following table summarizes the Company's accounts receivable, net (in thousands):

		September 30, 2010			September 30, 2009			Increase (Decrease)

Accounts receivable, net		$	12,247		$	13,983		$	(1,736	)

The $1.7 million decrease in accounts receivable is primarily driven by the timing of an invoice associated with a $2.0 million annual maintenance renewal contract which was not issued until the first quarter of fiscal 2011. A similar invoice for annual maintenance renewal contract was issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 were 83 days and 75 days respectively. The percentage of outstanding receivables less than 30 days past due was 87% of the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2010 compared to 91% at September 30, 2009.

DEFERRED REVENUE, NET

The following table summarizes the Company's deferred revenue (in thousands):

			September 30, 2010		September 30, 2009		Increase (Decrease)

	Service		$	11,123	$	10,510	$	613
	Product			693		3,304		(2,611	)

		Total	$	11,816	$	13,814	$	(1,998	)

Reported as:

	Noncurrent			2,296		1,240		1,056

		Total	$	11,816	$	13,814	$	(1,998	)

Table of Contents

The $2.0 million decrease in deferred revenue at September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009, is due to a decline in deferred product revenue, partially offset by an increase in deferred service revenue.

Contractual Obligations

The following summarizes our contractual obligations under facility leases which are inclusive of amounts identified as part of our restructuring plans and exclusive of expected sublease income, at September 30, 2010, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands):

		Total			Less than 1 Year			1 to 3 Years			3 to 5 Years			More than 5 years

Operating leases		$	10,097		$	1,736		$	2,755		$	2,535		$	3,071

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The above discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We believe there are accounting policies that are critical to understanding our consolidated financial statements, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses and involve management's judgment regarding significant estimates. We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and their application in the preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures with our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described below.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as set forth in:

•: ASC 985-605 (formerly known as and comprised of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", as amended by SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2", "Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions" and EITF 03-05, "Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software)",
•: ASC 605-25 (formerly known as Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (EITF) 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables)",
•: ASC 605-35 (formerly known as and comprised of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45 (ARB 45), "Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts", SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts)",
•: SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition", and
•: Technical Practice Aid (TPA) interpretations of ASC 985-605 (SOP 97-2) issued by the AICPA (TPAs 5100.38 - 5100.76).

The application of the appropriate accounting principles to revenue is dependent upon the specific transaction and whether the sale includes hardware products, software products, post contract customer support ("PCS"), other professional services, or a combination of some or all of these products and/or services.

Subject to the additional conditions described below, the Company does not recognize revenue until: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the fee is fixed or determinable; (3) delivery has occurred; and (4) collection of the corresponding receivable is reasonably assured.

Table of Contents

For multiple element arrangements that contain one or more deliverables for which the functionality is not dependent on the software, the arrangement fee is allocated between the "non-software" and software deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25 when the following criteria are met:

•: The delivered item has stand alone value;
•: There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements as demonstrated by vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value or third party evidence; and
•: If the arrangement includes a general return right relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor.

If the above criteria are met, we allocate the arrangement fee to the delivered items using the residual value method. Revenue for the elements whose functionality is not dependent upon the delivered software is recognized in accordance with SAB 104, and revenue for software elements is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605. If the above criteria are not met, all deliverables are considered a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605 upon delivery of all elements of the arrangement.

For multiple element arrangements that contain one or more deliverables for which the functionality is dependent on the software, the arrangement fee is subject to the provisions of ASC 985-605, and is allocated among each element, based on VSOE of fair value of each element if VSOE of each element exists. We determine VSOE of an element based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For an element not yet sold separately, VSOE may be established by management having the relevant authority as long as it is probable that the price, once established, will not change before separate introduction of the element in the marketplace. When arrangements contain multiple elements and VSOE exists for all undelivered elements only, we recognize revenue for the delivered elements based on the residual value method. For arrangements containing multiple elements wherein VSOE does not exist for all undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered and undelivered elements is deferred until VSOE exists or all elements have been delivered. Additionally, where VSOE does not exist to allocate the fee to the separate elements and the only undelivered element is PCS, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the contractual PCS period. For all other transactions not involving software, fair value is determined using the price when sold separately or other methods allowable under ASC 605-25.

Professional service revenue is recognized separately from the software element when the services are performed and when VSOE exists to allocate the revenue to the various elements in a multi-element arrangement, the services are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the arrangement, and the total price of the contract would vary with the inclusion or exclusion of the services. Revenue under these arrangements is presented as a component of service revenue on the statement of operations.

PCS contracts are typically priced as a percentage of the product license fee and generally have a one-year term. Services provided to customers under PCS contracts include technical product support and unspecified product upgrades, on a when and if available basis. Revenue from advance payments for PCS contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract and are classified as service revenue.

Table of Contents

proportion of the service period that has already expired to the total service period is immediately recognized and the residual amount is recognized ratably over the remaining service period.

Except in arrangements where acceptance is considered perfunctory, where we have provided acceptance rights to certain customers, no products or services revenue is recognized until the earlier of the customer formal acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period granted to the customer.

For arrangements that involve some customization, modification or production services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software element, and separate accounting for these services is not permitted, revenue from the license and professional services essential to the functionality of the software is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with ASC 605-35. The percentage-of-completion method is applied when we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the total cost of effort required for completion using the cost of labor hours incurred as the measure of progress towards completion. The progress toward completion is measured based on the date when the essential product functionality has been delivered or the application enters into a production environment or the point at which no significant additional professional service resources are required for the functionality of the software. Estimates are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion and these changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates when the information becomes known. Revenue under these arrangements is presented as software revenue on the statement of operations. Where VSOE exists for professional services not essential to the functionality of the software, revenue is recorded as service revenue. Forecasted losses on contracts are accrued to cost of revenue in the period in which a forecasted loss is deemed probable and estimable. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled work-in-process is recorded as a receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.

For single element arrangements, revenue from stand alone product sales is recognized upon shipment (unless shipping terms determine otherwise), net of estimated returns and/or certain estimated future price changes. Our practice is not to ship product to a reseller or distributor unless the reseller or distributor has a history of selling the products or the end-user is known and has been qualified. In certain specific and limited circumstances, we provide product return and price protection rights to certain distributors and resellers. We have established a reasonable basis through historical experience for estimating future returns and price changes. Actual returns and price protection claims have not been material to date.

Loss Contingencies

We record loss contingencies in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 450 ("ASC 450"). ASC 450 10 5 establishes standards of financial accounting and reporting for loss contingencies. It requires accrual by a charge to operating expenses and disclosure for an estimated loss from a loss contingency if two conditions are met: (a) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (b) the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for general or unspecified business risks (reserves for general contingencies) are not permitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under current circumstances. Future events,

Table of Contents

however, are subject to change and estimates and judgments routinely require adjustments, actual results could therefore differ from our current estimates. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements are:

•: Fair Value of Investments—The Company's investments are recorded at our best estimate of fair market value, with unrealized gains or losses classified as temporary in nature included in other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. Impairments considered other-than-temporary are recorded in other income. We use a variety of valuation techniques to access the fair value of investments, including quoted prices in active markets and other observable market indicators. If the relevant assumptions, estimates, or methodologies prove incorrect or, if due to additional information received in the future, our conclusions would change, we may be required to change the recorded value of our investments and record additional impairments.
•: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on account aging, historical bad debt experience, and ongoing evaluations of customer creditworthiness. Changes in the allowance are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations. If actual collections differ significantly from our estimates, it may result in a decrease or increase in our general and administrative expenses.
•: Inventory Valuation—We provide for slow moving and obsolete inventories based on historical experience and forecasts of product demand. A change in the value of the inventory is included as a component of cost of hardware revenue. If sales of inventory on-hand are less than our current projections or if there is a change in technology making certain inventory obsolete, we may be required to record additional charges which may adversely affect our margins and results of operations.
•: Long-Lived Assets—As events or circumstances indicate, we perform a review of the valuation of long-lived assets, including property and equipment. We also assess the recoverability of long-lived assets on an interim basis whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on an analysis of estimated expected future undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by the assets over their estimated useful lives. If the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets over their estimated useful lives, we record an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. Should conditions prove to be different than management's current assessment, material write downs of long-lived assets may be required, adversely affecting our results of operations.
•: Other Intangible Assets—We generally record intangible assets when we acquire companies. The cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets based on those assets and liabilities estimated fair values. Certain identifiable intangible assets such as purchased technology, customer lists, trademarks, and trade names are amortized over time. Accordingly, the allocation of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets has a significant impact on our future operating results. The allocation process requires extensive use of estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets. If impairment indicators are identified with respect to other intangible assets, the fair value of other intangible assets is re-assessed using valuation techniques that require significant management judgment. Should conditions prove to be different than our original assessment, material write downs of the fair value of intangible assets may be required. We periodically review the estimated remaining useful lives of our intangible assets. A reduction in the estimate of remaining useful life could result in accelerated

Table of Contents

amortization or an impairment charge in future periods and may adversely affect our results of operations.

•: Goodwill—In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 350 ("ASC 350") "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other", goodwill is not amortized. Instead, goodwill is tested, at least annually, for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. Accordingly, we periodically assess goodwill for impairment. Goodwill recorded in business combinations may significantly affect our future operating results to the extent impaired, but the magnitude and timing of any such impairment is uncertain. When we conduct our annual evaluation of goodwill during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or if impairment indicators are identified in the interim with respect to goodwill, the fair value of goodwill is re-assessed using valuation techniques that require significant management judgment. The key judgments include analysis of future cash flow which management believes to be an important factor in determination of the fair value of the Company's sole reporting unit. This analysis takes into consideration certain revenue growth and operating expense forecasts. Should conditions be different than our last assessment, significant write-downs of goodwill may be required which will adversely affect our results of operations. We conducted our first annual impairment test of goodwill recorded in connection with our acquisition of CoreStreet in December 2009 in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The first step (Step 1) in this analysis was to compare the carrying value of the Company's sole reporting unit, which approximates the Company's total stockholders' equity balance, to its fair value based on the market value of the Company's common stock. If the carrying value exceeded the fair value as a result of Step 1, the Company would have needed to complete Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires the Company to estimate the implied fair value of goodwill and compare that implied fair value to the carrying value of goodwill. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company's common stock exceeded stockholders' equity by approximately 13%. Consequently, Step 2 of the analysis was not deemed necessary and the Company concluded there was no indication of impairment to the carrying value of goodwill as of September 30, 2010.
•: Restructuring Expense—We accrue restructuring liabilities associated with vacating facilities that will no longer be used in operations. Recording of costs associated with vacating facilities require us to estimate future sub-lease income. If the actual future lease payments, net of any sub-lease income, differ from our estimates, it may result in an increase or decrease in our restructuring charge, and could adversely affect our results of operations. In fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2008, we recorded adjustments associated with changes in our estimates for future lease payments. There was no such adjustment recorded in fiscal 2009.
•: Hardware Sales Warranty Reserve—We accrue expenses associated with potential warranty claims at the time of sale, based on historical experience. The warranty we provide is in excess of warranty coverage provided by our product assembly contractors. Our standard warranty period is ninety days for software products and one year for hardware products. Changes in the warranty reserve are included as a component of cost of hardware revenue. If actual returns under warranty differ significantly from our estimates, it may result in a decrease or increase in our cost of hardware revenue.
•: Provision for Income Taxes—The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income, the realization of deferred tax assets could be impaired resulting in additional income tax expense. As a result, we record a valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be recognized. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences, net operating

Table of Contents

loss carry forwards, and research and development tax credits. We have established a valuation allowance to reserve these deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding their realization.

•: Stock Based Compensation—We estimate the value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Merton model. The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using this option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price. For awards that carry a market based vesting aspect, the fair value of the award is based on the results of a market simulation model (the simulation model) that evaluates the probability that the requisite market conditions needed for vesting will be achieved. The simulation model uses multiple iterations of simulated daily stock prices of the Company between the grant date and the future vesting date. The inputs to the simulation model include the Company's stock price on the grant date, the historical volatility of the Company's stock price over a period of time corresponding to the vesting period of the unit award as of the grant date, and the risk free interest rate, based on relevant U.S. Treasury Note rates, as of the grant date. Based on whether the requisite market conditions are achieved during the multiple simulations the simulation model produces an expected future value of the stock on the vesting date. This future value is discounted back to the grant date and used as the requisite fair value of the unit award.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 1—Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and effects on results of our operations and financial condition.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, specifically with respect to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate volatility, and concentration of credit risk, especially on auction rate security investments. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

We are exposed to currency exchange fluctuations as we sell our products and incur expenses globally. We manage the sensitivity of our international revenue by denominating transactions in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Australian Dollars and British Pounds. A natural hedge exists in some local currencies, to a limited extent, as local currency denominated operating expenses offset some of the local currency denominated revenue. Due to fluctuations in foreign currencies we recorded a loss of $0.7 million in fiscal 2010, a loss of $0.8 million in fiscal 2009, and a loss of $2.0 million in fiscal 2008, on our consolidated statements of operations on the revaluation of assets and liabilities and settlement of current period transactions.

During fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, of total revenue, approximately 64%, 65%, and 62%, respectively, were invoiced in U.S. dollars. Although we incur a majority of expenses in U.S. dollars, approximately 37%, 44%, and 50% were denominated in other currencies, primarily in Euros, Australian dollars and British Pounds during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Because more

Table of Contents

revenue is U.S. dollars denominated than expenses, a decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar could adversely affect operating results.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

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

At September 30, 2010, we held $72.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $3.8 million in marketable securities, and $1.9 million in restricted cash, for a total of $78.2 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and money market funds. Our marketable securities are primarily comprised of closed-end mutual funds and a student loan agency. Based on our cash, cash equivalents and investments at September 30, 2010, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest income and cash flows by approximately $56,000.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash with high credit quality financial institutions, term deposits and ARS consisting of closed-end mutual funds and a student loan agency. Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-K for further discussion.

The Company believes it has made reasonable judgments in its valuation of marketable securities. However, if the relevant assumptions, estimates, or the related analyses prove incorrect or, if due to additional information received in the future, management's conclusions would change, the Company may be required to change the recorded value of the marketable securities as of September 30, 2010.

The Company sells the majority of its products and services to a limited number of customers. If the financial conditions or results of operations of any one of the large customers deteriorate substantially, operating results could be adversely affected. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of significant customers. The Company does not generally require collateral and maintains reserves for estimated credit losses on customer accounts when considered necessary.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time

Table of Contents

periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Report required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b). The controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief financial officer ("CFO"). Based on this evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Definition of Disclosure Controls

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's Disclosure Controls include components of its internal control over financial reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. To the extent that components of the Company's internal control over financial reporting are included within its Disclosure Controls, they are included in the scope of the Company's annual controls evaluation.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Company's management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2010.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report presented in Item 15 and following the signature page.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or

Table of Contents

mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of ActivIdentity Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ActivIdentity Corporation as of September 30, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ActivIdentity Corporation at September 30, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, ActivIdentity changed the presentation of the non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements effective October 1, 2009.

We also have audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), ActivIdentity Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated December 10, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of ActivIdentity Corporation

We have audited Actividentity Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Actividentity Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Actividentity Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Actividentity Corporation as of September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for year then ended of Actividentity Corporation and our report dated December 10, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ActivIdentity Corporation at September 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

ActivIdentity Corporation (the "Company", "ActivIdentity", "we" or "us"), is a global leader in strong authentication and credential management. Our strategy is to provide solutions to confidently establish a person's identity when interacting digitally.

The Company's strategy leverages its identity assurance platform and credential management system to apply a common approach to registration / enrollment, authentication, authorization, auditing, credential issuance / management, and use of credentials. This approach takes into account that organizations require the assurance of a trusted chain of identity that allows them to conduct their day-to-day business in the digital age with the same level of confidence as face-to-face transactions.

Though identities may be repeatedly captured, verified, enrolled, used, and tracked by disparate systems with little interaction, the Company's identity assurance platform allows organizations to leverage the relative trust levels of the credentials and use the same security infrastructure across diverse user communities (such as citizens, employees, contractors, partners, suppliers, and customers) and applications (such as driver's license, employee identification badge, remote access token, and supplier procurement access portal).

ActivIdentity has been a pioneer of the identity assurance market and is a key supporter and driver of standards in this technology area, engaging with global standards bodies such as GlobalPlatform, ISO, and ANSI. The Company's approach to identity assurance embraces a wide variety of authentication devices and authentication methods. Smart cards, soft tokens, hard tokens, USB tokens, or mobile phones can be enrolled, issued a certificate, and managed through their life-cycle via ActivIdentity's identity assurance platform.

ActivIdentity was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 2002 for the purpose of changing the domicile of the publicly listed company in the ActivIdentity group of companies, previously ActivCard S.A., from the Republic of France to the United States. ActivCard S.A. was organized as a Société Anonyme, or limited liability corporation, under the laws of the Republic of France. In 2003, ActivIdentity completed registered public exchange offers in which holders of ActivCard S.A. securities exchanged 41,730,958 common shares and American depositary shares (ADS) of ActivCard S.A. for 41,635,741 common shares of ActivIdentity. Following completion of the exchange offers, ActivIdentity held approximately 99.4% of the outstanding securities of ActivCard S.A. During fiscal 2006, the Company purchased additional ActivCard S.A securities and currently holds approximately 99.8% of the outstanding securities of ActivCard S.A. The common shares and ADS of ActivCard S.A. not exchanged or sold have been recorded as a non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets.

We operate on a fiscal year ending September 30. For convenience in these Notes, we refer to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 as fiscal 2008, the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as fiscal 2009 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 as fiscal 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Years Ended September 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under current circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and best estimates and judgments may require further adjustments; therefore, actual results could differ from current estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the fair value of investments, the provision for doubtful accounts, obsolete and excess inventories, depreciation and amortization, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, sales warranty reserve, income taxes, restructuring liability, valuation of stock-based compensation, and contingencies.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Investments—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Marketable securities consist of investments acquired with original maturities exceeding three months and are classified as available-for-sale. Marketable securities are reported at market value, based on quoted market prices or the application of valuation models, with unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. Long-term investments are reported at fair value, based on the application of valuation models. If the impairment on long-term securities is determined to be other-than-temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded through other income (expense), net. The gain or loss from sale of securities sold is recognized on the specific identification method.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to pay outstanding amounts. The provision is based on factors that include account aging, historical bad debt experience, customer creditworthiness, and other known factors. Account balances are charged off against the allowance only when the Company considers it is probable that a receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories—Inventories consists of finished goods and components and are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement of up to 10 years.

Intangible Assets—Intangible assets include the fair value of agreements and contracts, developed technology, and trademarks acquired in business combinations and acquired patents. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over one to ten years, which approximates their estimated useful lives. The Company, each reporting period, reviews for indicators of potential impairment to the carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets. During the year ended September 30, 2010, no indicators of impairment.

Goodwill—In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 350 (ASC 350) "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other", goodwill is not amortized. Instead, goodwill is tested for

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. Accordingly, we perform an annual assessment of goodwill, or more frequently if there are indicators of potential impairment. Goodwill recorded in business combinations may significantly affect our future operating results to the extent impaired, but the magnitude and timing of any such impairment is uncertain. When we conduct our annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or if impairment indicators are identified in the interim with respect to goodwill, the fair value of goodwill is re-assessed using valuation techniques that require significant management judgment. The key judgments include analysis of future cash flow which management believes to be an important factor in determination of the fair value of the Company's sole reporting unit. This analysis takes into consideration certain revenue growth and operating expense forecasts. Should conditions be different than our last assessment, significant write-downs of goodwill may be required which will adversely affect our results of operations. The Company conducted its first annual impairment assessment of goodwill, recorded in connection with its acquisition of CoreStreet in December 2009, in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The first step (Step 1) in this analysis was to compare the carrying value of the Company's sole reporting unit, which approximates the Company's total stockholders' equity balance, to its fair value based on the market value of the Company's common stock. If the carrying value exceeded the fair value as a result of Step 1, the Company would have had to complete Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires the Company to estimate the implied fair value of goodwill and compare that implied fair value to the carrying value of goodwill. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company's common stock exceeded stockholders' equity by approximately 13%.

Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Intangible Assets—The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 10 15. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To determine the amount of impairment, the Company compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized.

Restricted Cash—Under the terms of a software development contract with a customer, the Company provide a performance guarantee in the form of a financial security agreement that extends through September 30, 2011.

Research and Development—Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Sales Warranty Reserve—Expenses associated with potential warranty claims are accrued at the time of sale, based on historical experience. The Company provides for the costs of warranty in excess of warranty coverage provided by product assembly contractors. The Company's standard warranty period is one year for hardware products and ninety days for software products.

Deferred Revenue—The Company's deferred revenue consists of customer arrangements related to products and services billings in excess of revenue recognized, which the Company is legally entitled to invoice and collect. The revenue from deferred revenue is recognized into earnings when the revenue recognition criteria are met.

Advertising Costs—The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred, and the amounts were not material for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as set forth in:

•: ASC 985-605 (formerly known as and comprised of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", as amended by SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2", "Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions" and EITF 03-05, "Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software)",
•: ASC 605-25 (formerly known as Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (EITF) 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables)",
•: ASC 605-35 (formerly known as and comprised of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45 (ARB 45), "Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts", SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts)",
•: SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition", and
•: Technical Practice Aid (TPA) interpretations of ASC 985-605 (SOP 97-2) issued by the AICPA (TPAs 5100.38 - 5100.76).

The application of the appropriate accounting principles to revenue is dependent upon the specific transaction and whether the sale includes hardware products, software products, post contract customer support (PCS), other professional services, or a combination of some or all of these products and/or services.

•: The delivered item has stand alone value;
•: There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements as demonstrated by vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value or third party evidence; and
•: If the arrangement includes a general return right relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor.

If the above criteria are met, the Company allocates the arrangement fee to the delivered items using the residual value method. Revenue for the elements whose functionality is not dependent upon the delivered software is recognized in accordance with SAB 104, and revenue for software elements is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605. If the above criteria are not met, all deliverables are

considered a single unit of accounting and revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605 upon delivery of all elements of the arrangement.

For multiple element arrangements that contain one or more deliverables for which the functionality is dependent on the software, the arrangement fee is subject to the provisions of ASC 985-605, and is allocated among each element, based on VSOE of fair value of each element if VSOE of each element exists. The Company determines VSOE of an element based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. For an element not yet sold separately, VSOE may be established by management having the relevant authority as long as it is probable that the price, once established, will not change before separate introduction of the element in the marketplace. When arrangements contain multiple elements and VSOE exists for all undelivered elements only, the Company recognizes revenue for the delivered elements based on the residual value method. For arrangements containing multiple elements wherein VSOE does not exist for all undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered and undelivered elements is deferred until VSOE exists or all elements have been delivered. Additionally, where VSOE does not exist to allocate the fee to the separate elements and the only undelivered element is PCS, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the contractual PCS period. For all other transactions not involving software, fair value is determined using the price when sold separately or other methods allowable under ASC 605-25.

Even though delivery of PCS and services has started, if all of the criteria in ASC 985-605 for revenue recognition have not yet been met, PCS and service revenue recognition may not commence. At the time all the criteria in ASC 985-605 are met, the portion of the deferred amount based on the proportion of the service period that has already expired to the total service period is immediately recognized and the residual amount is recognized ratably over the remaining service period.

Except in arrangements where acceptance is considered perfunctory, where the Company has provided acceptance rights to certain customers, no products or services revenue is recognized until the earlier of the customer formal acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period granted to the customer.

with ASC 605-35. The percentage-of-completion method is applied when the Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the total cost of effort required for completion using the cost of labor hours incurred as the measure of progress towards completion. The progress toward completion is measured based on the date when the essential product functionality has been delivered or the application enters into a production environment or the point at which no significant additional professional service resources are required for the functionality of the software. Estimates are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion and these changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates when the information becomes known. Revenue under these arrangements is presented as software revenue on the statement of operations. Where VSOE exists for professional services not essential to the functionality of the software, revenue is recorded as service revenue. Forecasted losses on contracts are accrued to cost of revenue in the period in which a forecasted loss is deemed probable and estimable. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled work-in-process is recorded as a receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.

For single element arrangements, revenue from stand alone product sales is recognized upon shipment (unless shipping terms determine otherwise), net of estimated returns and/or certain estimated future price changes. The Company's does not ship product to a reseller or distributor unless the reseller or distributor has a history of selling the products or the end-user is known and has been qualified. In certain specific and limited circumstances, the Company provides product return and price protection rights to certain distributors and resellers. The Company has established a reasonable basis through historical experience for estimating future returns and price changes. Actual returns and price protection claims have not been material to date.

Stock-Based Compensation—ASC 718 30 30 Share-based Payment), requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

ASC 718 30 30-1 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest (less estimated forfeitures) is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ. Different forfeiture rates are estimated and applied to (1) executives, (2) non-executive employees not located in France, and (3) employees located in France. Cash flows generated from potential tax benefits arising from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for options granted are classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company's loss position, there were no such tax benefits during fiscal 2010, 2009, or 2008.

The fair value of stock-based awards to employees that do not have a market or performance vesting condition is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (the "model"). The model was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from the Company's stock options. The model also requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise,

which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate is based on relevant U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the corresponding period of grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. These factors could change in the future, which would affect the stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

For restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, compensation is based on the intrinsic value of the stock on the actual grant date.

For awards that carry a market based vesting aspect, the fair value of the award is based on the results of a market simulation model (the simulation model) that evaluates the probability that the requisite market conditions needed for vesting will be achieved. The simulation model uses multiple iterations of simulated daily stock prices of the Company between the grant date and the future vesting date. The inputs to the simulation model include the Company's stock price on the grant date, the historical volatility of the Company's stock price over a period of time corresponding to the vesting period of the unit award as of the grant date, and the risk free interest rate, based on relevant U.S. Treasury note rates, as of the grant date. Based on whether the requisite market conditions are achieved during the multiple simulations, the simulation model produces an expected future value of the stock on the vesting date. This future value is discounted back to the grant date and used as the requisite fair value of the unit award.

Foreign Currency Transactions—The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of all of the subsidiaries is their local currency. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into the U.S. Dollar at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates during the period. Translation adjustments arising upon the consolidation of non-U.S. Dollar financial statements are accumulated in stockholders' equity as translation adjustments within other comprehensive income.

Transactions involving a currency other than the functional currency generate a gain or loss from the fluctuation of the transactional currency relative to the functional currency and are recorded in the statement of operations during the respective period. Due to fluctuations in foreign currencies, the Company recorded a loss of $0.7 million in fiscal 2010, a loss of $0.8 million in fiscal 2009, and a loss of $2.0 million in fiscal 2008, in the consolidated statements of operations from the revaluation of assets and liabilities and the settlement of current period transactions.

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future tax consequences, utilizing enacted tax rates, of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards, and research and development tax credits. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for net deferred income tax assets.

Loss Per Share—Basic and diluted loss per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Outstanding stock options, rights and warrants did not

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Non-controlling Interest. ASC 810 10 65-1 was previously issued in December 2007 by the FASB under the title SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. The standard changes the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders' equity, and the elimination of "minority interest" accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to non-controlling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, ASC 810 10 65-1 (SFAS No. 160) revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent's controlling ownership interest. ASC 810 10 65-1 (SFAS No. 160) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. Amounts previously presented as minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries is now presented in net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest in the statements of operations.

Recently Released Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 (ASU 2009-13), "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables" and Accounting Standard Update No. 2009-14 (ASU 2009-14), "Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software." These ASUs revise and clarify accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables, including how to separate deliverables into units of accounting determining the allocation of revenue to the units of accounting and the application of these provisions to tangible products containing software components. There are also expanded disclosures for significant judgments made in the application of these standards, if material. These pronouncements are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010 and earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements, and intends to implement the pronouncement during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company implemented provisions of this update related to disclosure of valuation techniques in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and noted no significant impact in its consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to implement provisions related to additional disclosures in the Level 3 roll forward in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and does not expect a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Equity Compensation Plans

Warrants

Warrants issued in connection with the CoreStreet acquisition: In December 2009, the Company issued warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock with a per share exercise price of $4.25, expiring December 31, 2011 and valued at $0.4 million, and warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock with a per share exercise price of $5.00, expiring December 31, 2012 and valued at $0.4 million in connection with the CoreStreet acquisition. For further information regarding the acquisition of CoreStreet, see Note 3—Business Combinations to consolidated financial statements. These warrants were fully vested upon issuance and remain outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has several stockholder approved stock option plans under which it grants or has granted options to purchase shares of its common stock to employees. As of September 30, 2010, the Company continues to grant stock options under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan ("2004 Plan"). As of September 30, 2010, the Company had 4.5 million shares available for future grants under the Company's 2004 Plan.

In August 2002, the Company's stockholders approved the 2002 Stock Option Plan ("2002 Plan") and reserved 8.6 million shares for issuance under the plan. Options granted under the 2002 Plan vest over four years and have a maximum term of 10 years. The Board of Directors establishes the exercise price as the closing price quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant. In August 2004, the Company's stockholders approved the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan replaces the 2002 Plan with substantially the same terms as the 2002 Plan. The remaining share reserve from the 2002 Plan was transferred to the 2004 Plan. In addition to stock options, the 2004 Plan allows for the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and cash awards. In February 2007, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2004 Plan, increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance by 4.0 million shares.

The option plans prohibit residents of France employed by the Company from selling their shares prior to the fourth anniversary from the date of grant.

In fiscal 2008, the Company issued equity inducement grants as permitted under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules to certain officers under a plan that had not been presented to the Company's stockholders for approval. Although the options were granted outside of the 2004 Plan, they are governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of that plan as if granted thereunder.

Valuation and Expense Information under ASC 718 10 50-2 (SFAS 123(R))

The weighted average fair value of stock-based compensation to employees is generally based on the single option valuation approach. Forfeitures are estimated and it is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is generally amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options. Below are the assumptions used in the calculation of stock-based compensation for employee stock options during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008:

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,

	2010	2009	2008
Risk-free interest rate	2.2%	1.5% - 2.6%	2.4% - 4.2%

The weighted average grant-date fair values of options and restricted stock units granted was $0.95, $1.34, and $1.22 during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008 respectively. Cash received as a result of options exercised were approximately $0.3 million, none and $25,000 during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised and restricted stock units vested was approximately $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The total fair value of options, warrants and restricted stock units vested was approximately $2.6 million, $3.7 million, and $2.5 million, during fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options and restricted stock was $2.2 million, net, which is expected to be recognized as an expense over a weighted average remaining amortization period of approximately 1.9 years.

3. Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. Consideration includes the cash paid, value of common stock issued and warrants for common stock as measured on the acquisition date, less any cash acquired. The common stock and warrants were issued in a private placement.

On December 14, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of CoreStreet for consideration of $18.5 million, net of cash acquired. Consideration consisted of (i) $12.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired, (ii) 2.2 million shares of the Company's common stock (of which approximately 1.5 million shares are subject to an escrow to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the stockholders of CoreStreet), (iii) warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock with a per share exercise price of $4.25 and expiring December 31, 2011 with a fair value of $0.4 million, and (iv) warrants for 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock with a per share exercise price $5.00 and expiring December 31, 2012 with a fair value of $0.4 million. CoreStreet is a provider of PKI certification technology, distributed identity credential validation systems, and physical access control products. Their products are used primarily by federal and state agencies in the United States.

None of the short-term marketable securities are deemed impaired as of September 30, 2010. The gain or loss from sales of securities is recognized on the specific identification method. The Company had realized gains of $4.1 million for fiscal 2010. There were no realized gains or loss in fiscal 2009, or 2008.

During fiscal 2010, based on evidence of liquidity, the Company reclassified $11.8 million of long-term investments to marketable securities and sold or redeemed ARS with a net book value of $10.8 million for $14.9 million which resulted in a gain of $4.1 million. Also, during fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of $0.3 million on these ARS. At September 30, 2010, the Company's carrying value of market securities was $3.8 million. Our portfolio of ARS has had a series of liquidity events in the past year. The Company monitors all of its ARS investments and evaluates changes as to impairment factors on a continual basis.

Auction Rate Securities

The Company held at par $3.8 million and $3.1 million of closed-end mutual fund ARS classified as marketable securities at September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 respectively. $0.6 million and $12.3 million of formerly held closed-end mutual fund and taxable municipal ARS investments were called at par during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Future changes in the market regarding these securities may result in impairment charges and classification to long-term investments.

During fiscal 2008, the Company reclassified $33.0 million at cost of investments in certain ARS from short-term to long-term investments and recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on these holdings of $21.2 million, resulting in a carrying value of $11.8 million at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008. Contractual maturity for these investments range from 2025 to 2052.

The Company reviews its impairments in accordance ASC 320 10 35-17 (SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities), and related guidance issued by the FASB and SEC in order to determine the classification of the impairment as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other comprehensive income (loss) section of stockholders equity in the balance sheet. This type of unrealized loss does not affect net income (loss) for the applicable accounting period. However, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded as a realized loss in the consolidated statement of operations. The differentiating factors between temporary and other-than-temporary impairment are primarily the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost and the term of the illiquid position. In addition, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the composition of any underlying assets in the holdings, and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time that would allow for a liquidity event to take place are also factors taken into consideration in the Company's valuation analysis.

While the Company has used what it believes to be an appropriate valuation model for these securities and has fully attempted to incorporate all known and significant risk factors into the analysis, the Company makes many estimates and assumptions when assessing the value of these securities. These estimates are also based on market and economic conditions, which are currently in a state of crisis and heightened uncertainty. As a result, there is much independent judgment required in deriving these valuation conclusions.

The Company believes it has made reasonable judgments in its valuation exercise. However, if the relevant assumptions, estimates, or the related analyses prove incorrect or, if due to additional information received in the future, management's conclusions would change, the Company may be required to change the recorded value of these securities, or other securities that make up the investment portfolio.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 10 35, (formerly known as SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Each reporting period, the Company reviews for indicators of potential impairment to the carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets. During fiscal 2010, no indicators of impairment of intangible assets of $9.1 million were noted.

In June 2005, the Company subleased the excess facilities. Cash payments for the remaining liability of $0.1 million at September 30, 2010 for facility exit activities have been made subsequently over the remaining life of the excess facilities which ended on November 30, 2010.

Realization of the Company's deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Because of the Company's lack of earnings history in the U.S. and France, the net deferred tax assets from these jurisdictions have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. For all other jurisdictions, no valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that a tax benefit for deferred assets will be recognized based upon recent and forecasted earnings. The Company recorded a decrease in valuation allowance of $2.5 million in fiscal 2010, and a decrease in valuation allowance of $3.2 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in the valuation allowance as of September 30, 2010 resulted primarily from a reduction in prior year net operating loss carry-forwards that have now been determined to not meet the more likely

than not standard and thus are included in the uncertain tax positions below as well as the utilization of net operating losses related to prior year foreign income inclusion, which is also offset by an increase in valuation allowance as a result of purchase price accounting related to the CoreStreet acquisition. The valuation allowance at September 30, 2010 includes $182,000 related to stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be credited to additional paid in capital when realized.

The Company has not provided for U.S income taxes on foreign subsidiary undistributed earnings as any earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. At the present time it is not practicable to estimate the amount of U.S. income taxes that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated.

As of September 30, 2010, approximate net operating loss carry-forwards and their corresponding expirations were as follows (in thousands):

	Amount		Expiration starting in

United States—Federal	$	297	2012
United States—Federal	$	107,609	2018
United States—California	$	51,526	2012

As of September 30, 2010 the Company had federal and State of California research and development tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The federal research and development tax credits expire at various dates beginning in 2012. The State of California research and development tax credits have no expiration date.

Net operating loss carry-forwards and credits can only be used by the taxpayer generating the operating losses and credits. The extent to which loss carry-forwards and credits can be used to offset future taxable income may be limited, depending on the extent of any ownership changes as defined by federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. These limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credits before utilization. CoreStreet was acquired during the fiscal 2010 and included in the net operating loss and credit carry-forwards are federal losses of $21.8 million, state losses $14.9 million and credits of $0.8 million related to the CoreStreet acquisition. A change in ownership study relating to CoreStreet had not been performed prior to the acquisition. If ownership changes occurred prior to the acquisition, additional limitations relating to these pre acquisition items may apply.

On October 8, 2010, the State of California approved its budget for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and made changes to the California tax law which substantially limit the Company's ability to utilize available state net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards to reduce any California state income taxes payable, if the company has taxable income in fiscal 2010 and 2011. Under the new California tax law, the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards is suspended for tax years beginning in 2010 and 2011; however, the expiration date of the net operating loss carry forwards is extended for an equivalent two-year period.

As of September 30, 2010, and September 30, 2009, the Company had $6.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively of unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, any amounts would be recorded as an income tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations and the Company's effective tax rate would be reduced by these amounts if a valuation allowance were not required.

It is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve months due to tax examination changes, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations, or the impact on recognition and measurement considerations related to the results of published tax cases or other similar activities. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, within the provision for taxes in the consolidated condensed statements of operations under the provisions of ASC 740 10 05. At September 30, 2010, and September 30, 2009 the Company had $176,000 and $208,000 respectively of interest and penalties which are included in long-term taxes payable. During the current fiscal year a reduction of $32,000 to the accrued interest and penalties was booked as a result of a lapse in the statute of limitations.

The Company or its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. and California, as well as various other foreign and domestic jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in Germany for the fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007 income tax returns. The Company recently concluded an examination from the French tax authority covering the fiscal 2005, 2006, and 2007 income tax returns that resulted in no significant tax adjustments. The Company is currently not the subject of any additional income tax examinations. In general, the earliest open year subject to examination in a major tax jurisdiction is fiscal 2006, although depending upon jurisdiction, earlier tax years may remain open beyond the statute of limitation period due to tax attribute carry-forwards from prior years subject to limitations of making adjustments to these tax attributes carry-forward items.

For the above periods, the Company had securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, which were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share in the periods presented as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. For fiscal 2010, 2009, and 2008, approximately 11.9 million, 10.2 million, and 11.2 million potential common shares (prior to application of treasury method), respectively, consisting of options, restricted stock units and warrants, were excluded from the determination of diluted net loss per share, as the effect of such shares was anti-dilutive.

Stockholder Rights Agreement

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company outstanding as of July 25, 2008. The description and terms of the rights are governed by the Stockholder Rights Agreement dated July 25, 2008, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one ten-thousandth of a share of the Company's Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, at a price of $11.00 per unit. If any acquiring person acquires 20% or more of ActivIdentity common stock, there would be a triggering event causing significant dilution in the voting power of such person or group. Until there is a triggering event, the rights trade with the Company's common stock. The Stockholder Rights Agreement will continue in effect until June 30, 2018, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged.

14. Employee Retirement Plans

The Company has agreed to a payment of a lump sum retirement indemnity to all employees located in France based upon years of service and compensation at retirement, though benefits do not vest prior to retirement. On September 30, 2007, the Company adopted certain provisions of ASC 720 20 65 formerly released by the FASB under the title SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). ASC 720 20 65 (SFAS No. 158) requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur

through comprehensive income. At September 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the liability for the retirement benefit was $10,000, $13,000 and $103,000, respectively. These amounts represent 100% of the projected liability.

The Company has a 401(k) plan for its eligible employees. Eligible employees can make voluntary contributions to the plan up to a fixed dollar amount specified by U.S. law. The Company is not required to make contributions and did not make any contributions to the plan in any of the periods presented.

Operating leases

The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating leases for office space with original terms that range from three to ten years.

Future minimum lease payments, gross, under these leases are as follows (in thousands):

Operating lease obligations include management fees which cover common area maintenance charges. Rent expense, net of sublease rental income, under all operating leases was $1.7 million, $2.8 million, and $3.1 million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Starting December 1, 2010, the Company's lease space will be reduced from 41,000 square feet to 29,000 square feet. During fiscal 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease agreement covering our headquarters in Fremont, California. The amendment extends the lease term to 10 years from the date of amendment, reduces the office space from 41,000 square feet to 29,000 square feet beginning December 1, 2010, suspends the monthly cash portion of the rent payments for the first eight months of the new term and significantly reduces the annual rent expense. The amendment also provides that subject to a $1.2 million penalty if terminated within the first 5 years, the Company may terminate the lease at any point from the date of amendment.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company has been named as a defendant in legal actions arising from its normal business activities, which it believes will not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with many of its customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions

for indemnifying the customer against any claim brought by a third party to the extent any such claim alleges that an ActivIdentity product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or violates any other proprietary rights of that third party. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability for these indemnification agreements has been recorded at September 30, 2010 or September 30, 2009.

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements indemnifying its executive officers and directors for certain events and occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company's request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance designed to enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. No liability for these indemnification agreements has been recorded at September 30, 2010 or September 30, 2009.

16. Stock Repurchase Program

On February 18, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $10 million or approximately 8% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market from time to time over the next twelve months. All share repurchases subject to this program will be retired upon purchase completion. The Company's Board of Directors has also authorized that purchases may be made under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A Rule 10b5-1 plan allows ActivIdentity to repurchase its shares during periods when the Company would normally not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods. During the fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased 1.1 million of shares through open market repurchases at an average cost of $2.22 per share for a total of approximately $2.4 million. As of September 30, 2010, the remaining balance available for future share repurchases was $7.6 million under the Company's stock repurchase program. On October 11, 2010, the Board of Directors terminated the stock repurchase program.

Pursuant to an asset sale agreement between ActivIdentity and idOnDemand, upon closing of the transaction, idOnDemand issued 300,000 shares of its common stock to ActivIdentity. ActivIdentity held 10% of the shares of idOnDemand at closing. The carrying value of the idOnDemand shares for as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, was zero.

20. Subsequent Events (Continued)

Upon consummation of the merger, each share of Company common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger (other than (i) shares owned by ASSA ABLOY or Merger Sub, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY or Merger Sub and (ii) shares to which appraisal rights are properly sought) and each share of Company common stock subject to restricted stock unit awards, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive $3.25 in cash, without interest. Options to acquire shares of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of $3.25 over the exercise price per share attributable to such option and (B) the total number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise in full of such option.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and ASSA ABLOY. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination under specified circumstances, the Company would be required to pay ASSA ABLOY a termination fee of $5.0 million or an amount in cash equal to $1.25 million, depending on the circumstances of the termination.

Termination of Stock Repurchase Program

On October 11, 2010, the Board of Directors terminated the stock repurchase program.

Amendment to Shareholder Right Agreement

On October 11, 2010, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Stockholder Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company to explicitly exclude ASSA ABLOY and any of its affiliates or associates from the definition of Acquiring Person under the Stockholder Rights Plan, so that neither a Share Acquisition Date (as defined in the Stockholder Rights Agreement) nor a Distribution Date (as defined in the Stockholder Rights Agreement) shall be deemed to occur and the rights will not separate from the Common Stock, in each case, solely by reason of the execution, delivery, performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

also allege that ActivIdentity aided and abetted the members of the ActivIdentity Board in the alleged breach of their fiduciary duties. The Plaintiffs seek relief that includes, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, rescission—to the extent the Merger terms have already been implemented, and the payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs.

On December 9, 2010, ActivIdentity and the individual defendants in the following actions entered into a memorandum of understanding: (i) in the Superior Court of Alameda County, California (the "Court"), captioned Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust v. ActivIdentity Corp., et al., RG10541071, Lin v. ActivIdentity Corp., et al., RG10541379, Weisleder v. ActivIdentity Corp., et al., RG10541759, and Gallagher v. Evans, et al., RG10542346 (the "California State Actions"), (ii) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Beverley & Lionel Sacks v. ActivIdentity, et al., 10-4705-JCS, and (the "California Federal Action"), and (iii) in Delaware Chancery Court captioned Tomaselli v. ActivIdentity, et al., 5928 (the "Delaware State Action")—collectively referred to herein as "the Actions." The memorandum of understanding provides for the settlement and dismissal with prejudice of the Actions, subject to customary conditions, including completion of appropriate settlement documentation, consummation of the Merger and all necessary court approvals. Although ActivIdentity believes that the Actions are without merit, ActivIdentity has entered into the memorandum of understanding to avoid any risk of materially delaying the Merger and to minimize the expense of defending the actions. The settlement and dismissal with prejudice—if completed and approved by the court—will resolve all of the claims that were or could have been brought by the plaintiffs in the Actions. In connection with the settlement and dismissal with prejudice, defendants agreed to cause to be paid to plaintiffs' counsel an amount up to $475,000 for its fees and expenses in the action, provided plaintiffs obtain court approval for any such amount. As part of the memorandum of understanding, ActivIdentity also agreed to file supplemental disclosures on (i) the background information leading up to the Merger, and (ii) the opinion of the Company's financial advisor. The Company expects to file these supplemental disclosures on December 10, 2010.

Liquidation of ARS

In November 2010, the Company liquidated ARS with a net book value of $1.8 million as of September 30, 2010 and original cost of $2.0 million for net proceeds of $1.7 million. The Company will recognize a realized loss of $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from the sale of these marketable securities.
