Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts are in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to VASCO, company, we, our, and us, refer to VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries design, develop, market and support hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. VASCO has operations in Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, the U.K., the United States (U.S.) and Switzerland.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of the operations of the majority of the companys foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense).
The financial position and results of operations of our operations in Singapore and Switzerland are measured in U.S. Dollars. For these subsidiaries, gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense).
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, gains resulting from foreign currency transactions were $29 compared to losses of $148 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, ASC 985-605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple Element Arrangements and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.
Effective January 1, 2011, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amended ASC 985-605-25, and ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, which amended ASC 985-605. In multiple-element arrangements, the adoption of these two ASUs will result in some of our products continuing to be accounted for under the software provisions of ASC 985-605 and others to be accounted for under the provisions that relate to the sale of non-software products.
In our typical multiple-element arrangement, the primary deliverables include:
1. | a client component (i.e., an item that is used by the person being authenticated in the form of either a new standalone hardware device or software that is downloaded onto a device the customer already owns), |
2. | host system software that is installed on the customers systems (i.e., software on the host system that verifies the identity of the person being authenticated) or licenses for additional users on the host system software if the host system software had been installed previously, and |
3. | post contract services (PCS) in the form of maintenance on the host system software or support. |
Our multiple-element arrangements may also include other items that are usually delivered prior to the recognition of any revenue and incidental to the overall transaction such as initialization of the hardware device, customization of the hardware device itself or the packaging in which it is delivered, deployment services where we deliver the device to our
8
Table of Contents
customers end-use customer or employee and, in some limited cases, professional services to assist with the initial implementation of a new customer.
Effective January 1, 2011 with the adoption of ASU 2009-13 and 14 there will not be any change in the units of accounting, but there will be a change in the method we use to allocate the revenue among the elements included in the arrangement.
In multiple-element arrangements that include a hardware client device, we allocate the selling price among the elements based on the percentage of the estimated selling price of that element to the total of the estimated selling price of all of the elements. Any discount provided on the transaction as a whole will be allocated among each of the elements included in the arrangement and any PCS included in the transaction will be deferred and amortized.
In multiple-element arrangements that include a software client device, we will continue to account for each element under the current standards of ASC 985-605 related to software. When software client device and host software are delivered elements, we use the Residual Method (ASC 605-25) for determining the amount of revenue to recognize for token and software licenses if we have vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) for all of the undelivered elements. Any discount provided to the customer is applied fully to the delivered elements in such an arrangement. We defer the revenue for tokens and software in any multiple element arrangement where we do not have VSOE for any undelivered element. VSOE of fair value of PCS agreements is based on separate sales transactions on a worldwide basis. In sales arrangements where VSOE of fair value has not been established, revenue for all elements is deferred and amortized over the life of the arrangement.
We do not expect a significant change in the pattern or timing of revenue recognition. The adoption of the new ASU 2009-13 and 14 did not have a significant impact on the recognition of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the recognition of future revenues.
For transactions other than multiple-element arrangements, we recognize revenue as follows:
1. | Hardware Revenue and License Fees: Revenue from the sale of computer security hardware or the license of software is recorded upon shipment or, if an acceptance period is allowed, at the latter of shipment or customer acceptance. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized. |
2. | Maintenance and Support Agreements: Maintenance and support agreements generally call for us to provide software updates and technical support, respectively, to customers. Revenue on maintenance and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the applicable maintenance and support agreement. |
3. | Services: Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided. |
4. | Consulting and Education Services: We provide consulting and education services to our customers. Revenue from such services is recognized during the period in which the services are performed. |

Table of Contents
We recognize revenue from sales to distributors and resellers on the same basis as sales made directly to customers. We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.
For large-volume transactions, we may negotiate a specific price that is based on the number of users of the software license or quantities of hardware supplied. The per unit prices for large-volume transactions are generally lower than transactions for smaller quantities and the price differences are commonly referred to as volume-purchase discounts.
All revenue is reported on a net basis, excluding any sales or value added taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are high-quality short term money market instruments, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and equivalents are held by a number of U.S. and non-U.S. commercial banks and money market investment funds. Cash and equivalents at March 31, 2011 include $85,923 in money market investment funds or demand bank deposits for which fair value is equal to cost. These investments are valued using level one inputs, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Cash and equivalents also include $99 in bank certificates of deposit for which fair value was $99 at March 31, 2011. Bank certificates of deposit are valued using level two inputs, as defined by ASC 820.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The credit-worthiness of customers (including distributors and resellers) is reviewed prior to shipment. A reasonable expectation of collection is a requirement for revenue recognition. Verification of credit and/or the establishment of credit limits are part of the customer contract administration process. Credit limit adjustments for existing customers may result from the periodic review of outstanding accounts receivable. The company records trade accounts receivable at invoice values, which are generally equal to fair value.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for goods and services. We analyze accounts receivable balances, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment timing when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a specific review of all significant past-due accounts. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting principally of hardware and component parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. We write down inventory when it appears that the carrying cost of the inventory may not be recovered through subsequent sale of the inventory. The company analyzes the quantity of inventory on hand, the quantity sold in the past year, the anticipated sales volume in the form of sales to new customers as well as sales to previous customers, the expected sales price and the cost of making the sale when evaluating the valuation of our inventory. If the sales volume or sales price of a specific model declines significantly, additional write downs may be required.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
10
Table of Contents
charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses resulting from sales or retirements are recorded as incurred, at which time related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
Research and Development Costs
Costs for research and development, principally the design and development of hardware, and the design and development of software prior to the determination of technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred on a project-by-project basis.
Software Development Costs
We capitalize software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20. Research costs and software development costs, prior to the establishment of technological feasibility, determined based upon the creation of a working model, are expensed as incurred. Our software capitalization policy defines technological feasibility as a functioning beta test prototype with confirmed manufacturability (a working model), within a reasonably predictable range of costs. Additional criteria include receptive customers, or potential customers, as evidenced by interest expressed in a beta test prototype, at some suggested selling price. No software development costs were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our policy is to amortize capitalized costs by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally two to five years, including the period being reported on.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We monitor our potential income tax exposures as required by ASC 740-10.
We have significant net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. and other countries which are available to reduce the liability on future taxable income. A valuation reserve has been provided for the U.S. and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards to offset most of these future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our financial instruments were cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as described in Cash and Cash Equivalents above. The fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying amounts at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Accounting for Leases
All of our leases are operating leases. Rent expense on facility leases is charged evenly over the life of the lease, regardless of the timing of actual payments.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
We account for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-20. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include customer lists, proprietary technology and other intangible assets. Intangible assets other than patents with definite lives are amortized over the useful life,
11
Table of Contents
generally three to seven years for proprietary technology. Patents are amortized over the life of the patent, generally 20 years in the U.S.
We assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives each year-end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Once identified, the amount of the impairment is computed by comparing carrying value of the assets to fair value. Fair value for goodwill is determined using our stock price which is a level 1 valuation, as defined in ASC 820-10. Fair value for trademarks is based on discounted estimated future cash flows, which a level 3 valuation. We have not recognized any impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as the fair value of our reporting unit substantially exceeds our carrying amount at December 31, 2010 and there were no events or changes in circumstances during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Warranty
Warranties are provided on the sale of certain of our products and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate the cost based on past claims experience, sales history and other considerations. We regularly assess the adequacy of our estimates and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our standard practice is to provide a warranty on our hardware products for either a one or two year period after the date of purchase. Customers may purchase extended warranties covering periods from one to four years after the standard warranty period. We defer the revenue associated with the extended warranty and recognize it into income on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We have historically experienced minimal actual claims over the warranty period.
Note 2 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable represents the balance due on credit sales made to customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate of losses that may result from customers inability to make payment on their outstanding balances.

Note 4 Acquisition of DigiNotar
On January 10, 2011, we purchased all of the intellectual property of DigiNotar Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries and acquired 100% of the stock of DigiNotar B.V. and DigiNotar Notariaat B.V., each a private company organized and existing in The Netherlands (collectively, DigiNotar), for aggregate consideration of 10,000 (approximately $13,253 at an exchange rate of 1.32 dollars per Euro) comprised of assumed debt of 64 and cash. Both transactions were effective January 1, 2011. We funded the transactions from our existing cash balances.
The consideration has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date as follows:
Current assets |
$ | 2,039 | ||
Property and equipment |
589 | |||
Goodwill |
2,632 | |||
Intangible assets |
10,139 | |||
Deferred income tax liabilities current |
414 | |||
Other current liabilities |
1,217 | |||
Deferred income tax liabilities non-current |
515 |
Acquired identifiable intangible assets totaling $10,139 are being amortized over their respective useful lives ranging from two to seven years and are further described in Note 6.
Purchase consideration includes contingent consideration held in escrow payable upon the achievement of certain one year operating targets. The contingent consideration has been recorded as a current asset at its estimated fair value of $861 and will be re-measured quarterly with changes in fair value recorded in our statements of operations. The change in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was not significant.
The acquisition is not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. The unaudited condensed financial statements include the operating results of DigiNotar from the acquisition date

Certain intangibles are denominated in local currencies and are subject to currency fluctuations.
Note 7 Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for 2011 is expected to be 28%. This is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, partially offset by losses in the U.S. for which the tax benefit is fully reserved because we have not deemed that the realization is more likely than not. The expected tax rate for 2010 was 33% in the first quarter of 2010. The tax rate in the first quarter of 2010 also benefited from income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, partially offset by net losses in the U.S., that had been fully reserved.
At December 31, 2010, we had U.S. net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $21,247. Of this amount, $14,727 would result in a benefit to earnings. The remainder represents tax deductions for employee stock option gains the benefit for which would be credited to paid-in capital. The U.S. loss

carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2020 and continuing through 2029. In addition, if certain substantial changes in the companys ownership were deemed to have occurred, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of the U.S. carryforwards that could be utilized. At December 31, 2010, we also had foreign NOL carryforwards of $4,834. The foreign NOL carryforwards have no expiration dates. A valuation reserve has been provided for the U.S. and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards to offset the future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.
Note 8 Warranties
We maintain a reserve for potential warranty claims related to products sold and recognized in revenue. We regularly reassess the adequacy of our estimates and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our warranty reserve is included in other accrued expenses.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 concerning, among other things, the prospects of, and developments and business strategies for, VASCO and our operations, including the development and marketing of certain new products and the anticipated future growth in certain markets in which we currently market and sell our products or anticipate selling and marketing our products in the future. These forward-looking statements (1) are identified by use of terms and phrases such as expect, believe, will, anticipate, emerging, intend, plan, could, may, estimate, should, objective, goal, possible, potential and similar words and expressions, but such words and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying them, and (2) are subject to risks and uncertainties and represent our present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. VASCO cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors have been described in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and include, but are not limited to, (a) risks of general market conditions, including currency fluctuations and the uncertainties resulting from turmoil in world economic and financial markets, (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, and changing government regulations, and (c) risks specific to VASCO, including, demand for our products and services, competition from more established firms and others, pressures on price levels and our historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers. Thus, the results that we actually achieve may differ materially from any anticipated results included in, or implied by these statements.
General
The following discussion is based upon our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (percentages in the discussion may be rounded to the closest full percentage point) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We design, develop, market and support open standards-based hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. We also design, develop, market and support patented strong user authentication products and services for e-business and e-commerce. Our products enable secure financial transactions to be made over private enterprise networks and public networks, such as the Internet. Our strong user authentication is delivered via our hardware and software DIGIPASS security products (collectively DIGIPASSES), most of which incorporate an electronic signature capability, which further protects the integrity of electronic transactions and data transmissions. Some of our DIGIPASSES are compliant with the Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) standard and are compatible with MasterCards and VISAs Chip Authentication Program (CAP). Some of our DIGIPASS units comply with the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH). As evidenced by our current customer base, our products are purchased by companies and, depending on the business application, are distributed to either their employees or their customers. Those customers may be other businesses or, as an example in the case of Internet banking, our customer banks corporate and retail customers.
17
Table of Contents
We offer our products either through a product sales and licensing model or through our DIGIPASS as a Service (DPS) product offering. DPS is our cloud-based authentication platform. DPS will enable application hosts to deploy strong two-factor authentication quickly with minimal upfront costs. Users will benefit from the added security of strong two-factor authentication available on an increasing number of Internet sites and applications. We expect those applications to include business-to-business applications, business to employee applications (e.g., employees of companies logging into third party applications operated in the cloud), and business-to-consumer applications. While there were no revenues generated from this product in the first quarter of 2011, we believe that it has the potential for significant future growth as it will make two-factor authentication more affordable and readily available to users and application markets.
In January 2011, we acquired DigiNotar BV. The acquisition expands the technological breadth of our product line by expanding our abilities to offer PKI technology throughout the product line. We expect that acquisition will enhance our market position in three areas; (1) as a trusted internet service provider of PKI certificates, which we expect will improve our ability to penetrate government markets (2) as a licensor of PKI-based products to customers for use in their applications, which we believe will enhance our ability to compete in our traditional business and (3) as a provider of our own PKI-secured applications, such as document signing, registration and storage solutions, which we expect will expand opportunities for us on our services platform.
Our target market is any business process that uses some form of electronic interface, particularly the Internet, where the owner of that process is at risk if unauthorized users can gain access to its process and either obtain proprietary information or execute transactions that are not authorized. Our products can not only increase the security associated with accessing the business process, thereby reducing the losses from unauthorized access, but also, in many cases, can reduce the cost of the process itself by automating activities that were previously performed manually.
Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Industry Growth: We believe that, while there are no accurate measurements of the total industrys size, the industry growth rate is increasing and will continue to grow at a significant rate into the foreseeable future. Growth is being driven by new government regulations, growing awareness of the impact of identity theft, and the growth in commerce that is transacted electronically. The issues driving the growth are global issues and the rate of adoption in each country is a function of that countrys culture, the competitive position of businesses operating in those countries, the countrys overall economic conditions and the degree to which businesses and consumers within the country use technology. While industry growth in 2010 was uneven in the various countries in which we operate, we experienced an increase in requests for information and proposals throughout the year and an increase in order intake, especially in the second half of 2010. We expect that the industry will return to more normal growth in 2011 as both our order intake and our pipeline of potential future deals continued strong in the first quarter of 2011.
Economic Conditions: Our revenue may vary significantly with changes in the economic conditions in the countries in which we sell products. With our current concentration of revenue in Europe and specifically in the banking/finance vertical market, significant changes in the economic outlook for the European banking market may have a significant effect on our revenue.
Starting in the fourth quarter of 2009, we received an increase in the number of requests for information and requests for proposals. That increase in activity started to manifest itself into a strong order flow in the second half of 2010. As a result of the increase in orders, we realized a sequential increase in revenue in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2010, which was unusual given the seasonality of our business, another sequential increase in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2010, which we generally expect given the seasonality of our business, and a strong backlog of orders for delivery in 2011 and beyond. Also, with the apparent abatement of the difficult economic conditions in the fourth quarter of 2009 in many of the countries in which we operate, we initiated a plan to hire staff to support new product

development, support new sales initiatives and mitigate risk while strengthening our position in existing markets. These actions continued throughout 2010 and resulted in lower operating earnings as a percentage of revenue in 2010. These actions are also expected to result in lower operating income as a percentage of revenue in 2011; however, we believe that these actions allowed us to strengthen our overall market position and will result in higher revenue and higher operating earnings in future years.
Currency Fluctuations: In the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, approximately 94% and 91%, respectively, of our revenue was generated outside the United States. In addition, approximately 83% of our operating expenses were incurred outside the United States in both the first quarter of 2011 and 2010. Changes in currency exchange rates, especially from the Euro to U.S. Dollar, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.
In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations, we attempt to denominate our billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. In periods in which the U.S. Dollar is weakening, we expect that our operating earnings will increase as a result of the change in currency exchange rates. Conversely, in periods in which the U.S. Dollar is strengthening, we expect that our operating earnings will decrease as a result of the change in currency exchange rates.
The U.S. Dollar strengthened by approximately 3% against the Euro and weakened approximately 12% against the Australian Dollar for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. We estimate that the net effect of changes against these two currencies in 2011 compared to 2010 resulted in a decrease in revenue of approximately $43 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, and a decrease in operating expenses of approximately $269 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.
The financial position and results of operations of most of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Switzerland and Singapore (in which the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar), are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are included as a separate component of stockholders equity. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other non-operating income (expense). Foreign exchange transaction gains aggregating $29 in the first quarter of 2011 compare to losses of $148 in the first quarter of 2010.

Revenue
Revenue by Geographic Regions: We classify our sales by customers location in four geographic regions: 1) EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa; 2) the United States, which for our purposes includes sales in Canada; 3) Asia Pacific; and 4) Other Countries, including Australia, Latin America and Central Asia. The breakdown of revenue in each of our major geographic areas was as follows:

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2011 increased $12,443, or 52%, over first quarter 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the number of units shipped to the banking/finance (Banking) market in all regions, partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price per unit. The decline in the average price per unit generally reflects our approach to pricing, which provides lower prices for higher order quantities.
Revenue generated in EMEA during the first quarter 2011 was $10,272, or 63%, higher than the first quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to factors noted above related to the quarter as a whole and reflected increased revenue in both the Banking market and the Enterprise and Application Security market.
Revenue generated in the United States during the first quarter was $157, or 7%, higher than the first quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to factors noted above related to the quarter as a whole and reflected increased revenue in the Banking market partially offset by a decline in the Enterprise and Application Security market. The U.S. market continues to defer the adoption of two factor authentication for retail internet banking applications, but we believe that we are well positioned to meet the needs of the U.S. market when banks decide to deploy strong user authentication to their retail banking customers.
Revenue generated in the Asia Pacific region during the first quarter was $1,032, or 80%, higher than the first quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the Banking market as noted above.
Revenue generated from other countries during the first quarter was $982, or 23%, higher than the first quarter of 2010. The increased revenue from other countries was primarily due to increases in the Banking markets in Central and South America and an increase in the Enterprise and Application Security market in Australia. VASCO continues to invest in new markets by hiring new sales and support staff to help penetrate the developing markets for strong user authentication.
Given the relatively small size of the revenue in regions other than EMEA, the results may vary substantially quarter-to quarter and year-to-year on both an absolute and on a percentage basis depending upon the timing of the receipt and delivery of a large new order or the completion of a large rollout. We believe that the variability in results will lessen as we develop a larger base of Banking customers, further develop our distribution channel for the Enterprise and Application Security market and expand revenues from the Services market.

Revenue by Target Market: Revenue is generated currently from two primary markets, Banking and Enterprise and Application Security, through the use of both direct and indirect sales channels. The Enterprise and Application Security market includes corporations, business-to-business, business-to-consumer, e-commerce, e-government, services revenues, including DigiNotar, and various other vertical application markets that are not related to banking or finance. The breakdown of revenue between the two primary markets was as follows:

Revenue in the first quarter of 2011 from the Banking market increased $12,583, or 71%, over the first quarter of 2010 and revenue from the Enterprise and Application Security market decreased $140, or 2%, in the same period.
We believe that the increase in revenue in the Banking market reflected a return of the banks to their more traditional ways of doing business (e.g., larger orders for delivery over several quarters) following the banking crisis and economic slowdown that started in the fourth quarter of 2008.
We believe that the decrease in revenue in the Enterprise and Application Security markets reflected the carryover impact of a strong fourth quarter of 2010. We believe that the increased volume in the fourth quarter of 2010 reflected the improving economic conditions for corporations and their year-end push to spend available budget amounts. We expect that the revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security markets will increase in the coming quarters as long as the economic recovery continues.

Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $22,680, an increase of $5,992, or 36%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in gross margin for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2010 is primarily related to:
| a decrease in gross margins from sales in the Banking market, |
| a decrease in the percentage of our revenue that came from the Enterprise and Application Security Market and |
| a decrease in non-hardware revenues as a percentage of total revenue. |
The decline in gross margin from the Banking market reflected an increase in large orders from banks which, consistent with our approach to pricing, are at lower average selling prices per unit. As mentioned earlier, revenue from our Enterprise and Application Security market, which generally has margins that are 20 to 30 percentage points higher than the Banking market, was 17% of our total revenue in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 26% in the first quarter of 2010. Our non-hardware revenues were approximately 22% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2011 compared with 24% in the first quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and the majority of such expenses are fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in the amount of revenue recognized in any given quarter could cause significant variations in the quarter-to-quarter comparisons of either the absolute amounts of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.
On a consolidated basis, our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $19,611, an increase of $3,647 or 23% from the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in consolidated operating expenses was primarily related to the impact of our hiring program in 2010 and our acquisition of DigiNotar in January of 2011.
In most quarters, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is our headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 60% of our operating expenses. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount.
During the first quarter of 2010, in anticipation of strong growth in our markets in the later part of 2010 and into 2011, we began an aggressive hiring program that resulted in an increase in our staff by 48 persons, or approximately 16% for the full year. We estimate that the addition of the staff in 2010 resulted in an increase of direct compensation expense of approximately $1,401 in for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Operating expenses associated with the acquisition of DigiNotar were approximately $1,550 for the first quarter of 2011 and included $992 of expenses related to operations and $558 related to the amortization of purchased intangible assets.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $9,512, an increase of $1,583, or 20%, from the first quarter of 2010. This increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to:
| an increase in compensation related to higher average headcount, |
| the acquisition of DigiNotar, and |
| an increase in expenses related to marketing activities. |
The average full-time sales, marketing, support and operations employee headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2011, including headcount related to DigiNotar, was 186 compared to 158 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 18%.
Research and Development Expenses
Consolidated research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, were $4,057, an increase of $785, or 24%, from the first quarter of 2010. This increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to the addition of staff and the acquisition of DigiNotar as noted above.
The average full-time research and development employee headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2011, including headcount related to DigiNotar, was 123 compared to 94 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 31%.
23
Table of Contents
With the acquisition of Alfa & Ariss B.V. (Alfa & Ariss) on April 1, 2011, we expect our consolidated research and development expenses to increase in the second quarter of 2011.
General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, were $5,361, an increase of $713, or 15%, from the first quarter of 2010. This increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to:
| an increase in compensation related to higher average headcount, |
| the acquisition of DigiNotar, and |
| an increase in professional services |
partially offset by
| a reduction in the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable. |
The average full-time general and administrative employee headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2011, including headcount related to DigiNotar, was 62 compared to 50 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 24%.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets for the first quarter of 2011 increased $566, or 492% over the comparable periods in 2010. The increase in amortization expense reflects the impact of the amortization of the purchased intangible assets resulting from our acquisition of DigiNotar.
With the acquisition of Alfa & Ariss on April 1, 2011, we expect our amortization of intangible assets to increase in the second quarter of 2011.
Interest Income
Consolidated net interest income was $112 in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $71 in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in interest income reflects slightly higher interest rates paid on higher average cash balances. Our average cash balance in the first quarter of 2011 of $83,122 was $12,411, or 18%, higher than in the first quarter of 2010.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense) primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries functional currencies, subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our export business in those countries and other miscellaneous non-operational expenses. Other income for the first quarter of 2011 was $291 and compares to $60 for the first quarter of 2010. The increase in other income primarily reflects lower exchange losses ($29 gain in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $148 loss in the first quarter of 2010).
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2011 was $972, an increase of $690 from the first quarter of 2010. The increase in tax expense is attributable to an increase in pretax income partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 28% for the first quarter of 2011 and compares to 33% for the first quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate for both periods reflects our estimate of our full-year tax rate at the end of each respective period. We believe that our effective tax rate may vary significantly quarter to quarter as actual earnings or losses are realized in countries with lower tax rates or with loss carryforwards that have been reserved.

At December 31, 2010, we had U.S. net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $21,247. Of this amount, $14,727 would result in a benefit to earnings. The remainder represents tax deductions for employee stock option gains the benefit for which would be credited to paid-in capital. The U.S. loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2020 and continuing through 2029. In addition, if certain substantial changes in the companys ownership were deemed to have occurred, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of the U.S. carryforwards that could be utilized. At December 31, 2010, we also had foreign NOL carryforwards of $4,834. The foreign NOL carryforwards have no expiration dates. A valuation reserve has been provided for the U.S. and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards to offset the future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash balance was $86,022 at March 31, 2011, an increase of $489, or less than 1%, from $85,533 at December 31, 2010. The increase in cash from December 31, 2010 primarily reflects the strong cash flow from operations and the benefit of a stronger Euro compared to the U.S. dollar partially offset by cash used to purchase DigiNotar in January 2011.
At March 31, 2011, we had working capital of $90,823, a decrease of $6,066, or 6%, from $96,889 reported at December 31, 2010. The decrease in working capital was primarily related to the acquisition of DigiNotar.
EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $4,480 and $1,516, respectively, an increase of $2,964, or 196%, from the same period of the prior year. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010 follows:

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. We use EBITDA as a measure of performance, a simplified tool for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not need to consider the impact of those items on our competitors results.
EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context

described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and the other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance. Similarly, our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which will be filed as part of our annual report on Form 10-K, provides the full accounting for how we have decided to use resources provided to us from our customers, lenders and shareholders.
While we believe that our financial resources are adequate to meet our operating needs over the next twelve months, we anticipate that the difficult current economic conditions that exist on a worldwide basis today may require us to modify our business plans. In the current economic environment there is an increased risk that customers may delay their orders until the economic conditions stabilize or improve. If a significant number of orders are delayed for an indefinite period of time, our revenue and cash receipts may not be sufficient to meet the operating needs of the business. If this is the case, we may need to significantly reduce our workforce, sell certain of our assets, enter into strategic relationships or business combinations, discontinue some or all of our operations, or take other similar restructuring actions. While we expect that these actions would result in a reduction of recurring costs, they also may result in a reduction of recurring revenue and cash receipts. It is also likely that we would incur substantial non-recurring costs to implement one or more of these restructuring actions. For additional information related to risks, refer to Certain Factors noted in Managements Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Software
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. ASU 2009-14 provides guidance to determine if products should be accounted for as software under ASC 985-605. Arrangements that are no longer defined as software are accounted for under ASC 605-25, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. Under ASU 2009-14, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality will no longer fall within the scope of ASC 985-605.
Revenue Recognition
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. ASU 2009-13 amends the criteria in ASC 605-25 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and provides the ability to separate deliverables in more circumstances than was previously allowed under U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2009-13 established a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on VSOE if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or third-party evidence is available. Under this update, the term fair value was replaced with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant.
ASU 2009-13 also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverables selling price.

Both ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 were effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We adopted both Updates effective January 1, 2011. As a result of adoption of the Updates:
1. | The sales of some of our products are defined as software sales and continue to be accounted for using ASC 985-605. Sales of some of our other products, however, no longer qualify as sales of software and are accounted for under ASC 605-25. |
2. | For items continuing to be classified as software, we do not expect that the allocation of consideration will be significantly different than prior to adoption as we have vendor-specific objective evidence for the most common type of undelivered items, such as maintenance and support. Further, we continue to use the Residual Method when we have vendor-specific objective evidence of any undelivered elements. |
3. | For sales of products that no longer qualify as software sales, we allocate the arrangement consideration among each of the accounting units based on relative selling price of each of the units with any discount on the transaction being split proportionately between delivered and undelivered accounting units. We do not expect that the allocation of purchase price among delivered and undelivered elements to be significantly different than under our accounting practices prior to adoption because, as noted above, we have vendor-specific objective evidence for the most common type of undelivered items and generally do not provide discounts that will significantly impact the value determined using VSOE. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the adoption of ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 did not have a significant impact on revenue. Further, we do not expect that adopting ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 will have a material impact on the amount, pattern or timing of the recognition of future revenue.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, our management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2011. For additional information, refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who, respectively, are our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal

executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems 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 a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. 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 may not be detected.
