Basis_of_Presentation

Basis of Presentation	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Basis of Presentation	'
	1. Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Identive Group, Inc. (“Identive” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any future period. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements necessarily requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. In our business overall, we may experience significant variations in demand for our products quarter to quarter, and overall we typically experience a stronger demand cycle in the second half of our fiscal year. As a result, the quarterly results may not be indicative of the full year results.
	Going Concern
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically incurred operating losses and has a total accumulated deficit of $318 million as of September 30, 2013. These factors, among others, including the recent effects of the U.S. Government sequester and related budget uncertainty on certain parts of our business, have raised significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
	The ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and its ability to raise financing or dispose of certain noncore assets as required. The Company’s plans may be adversely impacted if it fails to realize its assumed levels of revenues and expenses or savings from its cost reduction activities. If events, such as reductions in spending under the federal budget sequester, cause a significant adverse impact on its revenues or expenses, the Company may need to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its development programs or obtain funds through collaborative arrangements with others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, or programs that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself, and to reduce personnel related costs. The Company may resort to contingency plans to make needed cost reductions upon determination that funds will not be available in a timely matter. These contingency plans include consolidating certain functions or disposing of non-core or underperforming assets. We are in the process of conducting a strategic review of our business activities with the intent of disposing of certain non-core businesses and as stated in Note 15, Subsequent Event, we have determined to sell our U.S. Multicard business group and the assets related to our Tagtrail mobile services platform. The Company may also need to raise additional funds through public or private offerings of additional debt or equity during the course from time to time as it may deem appropriate, which might cause dilution to existing stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds if and when they are required. Failure to obtain future funding when needed or on acceptable terms would adversely affect the Company’s ability to fund operations.
	Reclassifications and Restatements
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. In the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the amount related to re-measurement of contingent consideration was classified as a non-operating item in the Company’s Form 10-Q filing for the third quarter of 2012, and is now presented as part of operating expenses/income. This change in presentation did not have any impact on the consolidated net loss as reported in the Company’s third quarter financial statements for 2012.
	In the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash paid for the interest on financial liabilities was presented as cash outflows from financing activities in the Company’s Form 10-Q filing for the third quarter of 2012. This should have been presented as cash outflows from operating activities. As a result, cash used in operating activities was understated and cash used in financing activities was overstated by $0.5 million, respectively. The amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been restated to correct the impact of such error.
	As stated in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company determined that the income tax benefit related to its impairment of certain intangible assets was misstated. An income tax benefit of $5.5 million should have been recorded in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As a result, consolidated net loss was overstated by $5.5 million and loss per share was overstated by $0.09 during such period. The amount presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 has been restated to correct the impact of such error. There was no impact to the net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The updated accounting standard is an amendment to ASU 2011-12, which requires companies to present information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The updated accounting standard requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date, and may be applied retrospectively. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2014 and does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

	On January 30, 2012 (“payment solution acquisition date”), through its majority-owned subsidiary Bluehill ID AG, the Company acquired approximately 58.8% of the outstanding shares and thereby obtained control of payment solution AG, a company organized under the laws of Germany (“payment solution”). In exchange for the shares of payment solution, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,357,758 shares, or approximately 2.4% of its outstanding common stock, to the selling shareholders, having a value of approximately $3.0 million. On April 2, 2012, the Company acquired additional noncontrolling interest and increased its ownership to approximately 82.5% of the outstanding shares of payment solution. In exchange for the additional shares of payment solution, the Company issued 548,114 shares of its common stock to the selling shareholders, having a value of approximately $1.2 million. On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired additional noncontrolling interest and increased its ownership to approximately 93.7% of the outstanding shares of payment solution. In exchange for the additional shares of payment solution, the Company agreed to pay Euro 165,000 or approximately $0.2 million in cash in three equal installments due on July 1, 2013, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, respectively, to the selling shareholders.
	The payment solution acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company finalized the measurement of identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities and as a result, the amounts of such assets and liabilities and the resulting goodwill and deferred income tax have changed as compared to the provisionally reported amounts in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
	The following table summarizes the final fair value of total consideration transferred for payment solution controlling and noncontrolling interests, the total fair value of net identifiable liabilities acquired at the payment solution acquisition date and the resulting goodwill recorded (in thousands):
	Fair value of common stock	$	3,041
	Fair value of total consideration transferred		3,041
	Fair value of noncontrolling interest		2,131
	Fair value of controlling and noncontrolling interest		5,172
	Fair value of net identifiable liabilities acquired		8,083
	Goodwill	$	13,255
	Of the total purchase consideration, $13.3 million was recognized as goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill arising from the payment solution acquisition is assigned to the Company’s Identity Management reportable segment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). None of the goodwill recorded as part of the payment solution acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes. As noted in Note 7 below, the Company performed an interim goodwill and long-lived assets impairment analysis in accordance with its critical accounting policy and recorded an impairment charge in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	3. Fair Value Measurements
	The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the maximum possible amounts payable for contingent consideration related to the acquisition of idOnDemand in April 2011 was $10.0 million and for the acquisition of polyright in July 2011 was $0.3 million; however, the earn-out liability remains zero as there were no significant changes in the range of outcomes for such contingent consideration.
	As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis includes contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of idOnDemand and polyright, and is as follows (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended September 30, 2012						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
		Amount			Income		Amount				Income
		paid			recognized		paid				recognized
					for changes						for changes
					in fair value						in fair value
	Contingent consideration:
	idOnDemand	$	—		$	—	$		—		$	(5,463	)
	polyright		(108	)		—			(108	)		(194	)
		$	(108	)	$	—	$		(108	)	$	(5,657	)
	Under their respective acquisition agreements, the sellers of polyright and idOnDemand are eligible to receive limited earn-out payments (“contingent consideration”) in the form of shares of common stock subject to certain lock-up periods under the terms of their respective acquisition agreements. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on achieving certain revenue and profit targets as defined under the applicable agreement. These contingent payments are probability weighted and are discounted to reflect the restriction on the resale or transfer of such shares. The valuation of the contingent consideration is classified as a Level 3 measurement because it is based on significant unobservable inputs and involves management judgment and assumptions about achieving revenue and profit targets and discount rates. The unobservable inputs used in the measurement of contingent consideration are highly sensitive to fluctuations and any changes in the inputs or the probability weighting thereof could significantly change the measured value of the contingent considerations at each reporting period. The fair value of the contingent consideration is classified as a liability and is re-measured each reporting period in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were significant changes in the range of outcomes for the contingent consideration recognized as of the respective acquisition dates for polyright and idOnDemand and it was determined that there is no future expectation of earn-out payments. As a result, the Company remeasured the total contingent consideration to fair value and recognized $5.7 million as a credit to expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if impairment is indicated. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, long-lived assets were measured at fair value resulting in an impairment charge of $0.3 million and $24.8 million, respectively, which was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The assets impairment charge during the third quarter of 2013 was recorded due to a determination that the assets were no longer usable. The Company measured the fair value of the assets in 2012 primarily using discounted cash flow projections. The discounted cash flow projections require estimates for expected performance such as revenue, gross margin and operating expenses, in order to discount the sum of future independent cash flows using discount rates which were determined based on an analysis of each individual identified asset group and consideration of the aggregate business of the Company. The discount rates used in the present value calculations during 2012 impairment test were in the range of 16% to 20%, except for one asset group where it was 50%. The discount rates were derived from a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) analysis, adjusted to reflect additional risks related to each asset’s characteristics. The Company evaluated the inputs and outcomes of its discounted cash flow analysis by comparing these items to available market data. Acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets, due to the absence of quoted market prices. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangibles Assets, for further information.

	Private Placement
	On August 14, 2013, in a private placement, the Company issued 8,348,471 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.85 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 8,348,471 share of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to accredited and other qualified investors (the “Investors” or “Warrant holders”). Aggregate gross consideration was approximately $7.1 million and approximately $0.8 million in issuance costs were recorded in connection with the private placement. The private placement was made pursuant to definitive subscription agreements between the Company and each Investor. The sale was made to accredited and other qualified investors in the United States and internationally in reliance upon available exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) including Section 4(a) (2) thereof and Regulation D and Regulation S thereunder, as well as comparable exemptions under applicable state and foreign securities laws. The Company engaged a placement agent in connection with private placement outside the United States. The placement agent was paid cash compensation at closing of $0.6 million, together with bonus compensation of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of common stock on the same terms as those sold to investors in the offering. The securities were issued to the placement agent in reliance upon available exemptions from the registrations requirements of the Securities Act, including Regulation S thereunder. As agreed, the Company subsequent filed a registration statement in September 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the shares and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
	The warrants have a term of four years and will not be exercisable for six months following the date of issuance. Any warrants, or portion thereof, not exercised prior to the expiration date will become void and of no value and such warrants shall be terminated and no longer outstanding. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is subject to adjustment for any stock dividends, stock splits or distributions by the Company, or upon any merger or consolidation or sale of assets of the Company, tender or exchange offer for the Company’s common stock, or a reclassification of the Company’s common stock. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 91.57%, risk-free interest rate of 1.08%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of four years. The fair value of the warrants is determined to be $4.0 million. The warrants are classified as equity in accordance with ASC Topic 505, Equity (“ASC 505”) as the settlement of the warrants will be in shares and are within the control of the Company.
	Sale of Common Stock
	On April 16, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to LPC up to $20,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. As consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to LPC 251,799 shares of common stock (“Commitment Shares”) and is required to issue up to 323,741 additional shares of common stock on a pro rata basis for any additional purchases the Company requires LPC to make under the Purchase Agreement over its duration. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of these 251,799 shares or the 323,741 shares that may be issued if subsequent funding is received by the Company.
	Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Company’s right to commence sales under the Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), LPC initially purchased $2,000,000 in shares of common stock at $1.14 per share on April 17, 2013. Thereafter, on any business day and as often as every other business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, and up to an aggregate amount of an additional $18,000,000 (subject to certain limitations) in shares of common stock, the Company has the right, from time to time, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions to direct LPC to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock. The purchase price of shares of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be based on prevailing market prices of common stock at the time of sales without any fixed discount, and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to LPC, but in no event will shares be sold to LPC on a day the common stock closing price is less than $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, the Company may direct LPC to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if on the date of a regular purchase the closing sale price of the common stock is not below $0.75 per share. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
	All shares of common stock to be issued and sold to LPC under the Purchase Agreement will be issued pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-173576), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and declared effective on May 3, 2011, and the prospectus supplement thereto dated April 16, 2013. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and LPC, limitations and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and other obligations of the parties. There is no upper limit on the price per share that LPC could be obligated to pay for common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. Actual sales of shares of common stock to LPC under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to available and appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.
	On April 17, 2013, LPC initially purchased 1,754,386 shares of common stock for a net consideration of approximately $1.5 million after recording approximately $0.5 million in underwriting discounts, legal fees and issuance costs. As stipulated in the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 284,173 shares of common stock consisting of 251,799 as Commitment Shares and 32,374 additional pro-rated shares of common stock. Subsequent to the initial purchase, the Company directed LPC to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock from April 17, 2013 through September 30, 2013 for a net consideration of approximately $1.3 million and issued 20,380 additional pro-rated shares of common stock.
	2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	In June 2011, Identive’s stockholders approved the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Initially, 2.0 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance over the term of the ESPP, which is ten years. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year commencing with fiscal year 2012, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP is automatically increased by a number equal to the lowest of (i) 750,000 shares, (ii) two percent of all shares outstanding at the end of the previous year, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). If any option granted under the ESPP expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject to that option will again be available for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of or end of the applicable offering period and each offering period lasts for six months. The first six-month exercise period under the ESPP commenced on July 1, 2011. The plan contains an automatic reset feature under which if the fair market value of a share of common stock on any exercise date (except the final scheduled exercise date of any offering period) is lower than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first trading day of the offering period in progress, then the offering period in progress shall end immediately following the close of trading on such exercise date, and a new offering period shall begin on the next subsequent January 1 or July 1, as applicable, and shall extend for a 24-month period ending on December 31 or June 30, as applicable. As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the plan automatically reset and a new offering period began on July 1, 2013 and July 1, 2012, respectively. As of January 1, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP were automatically increased by 750,000 shares each in accordance with the terms of the plan. There were 123,507 and 192,113 shares of common stock issued under the ESPP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there are 3,009,646 shares reserved for future grants under the ESPP.
	The following table illustrates the stock-based compensation expense resulting from the ESPP included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended													Nine Months Ended

	General and administrative			15				16									46				38
	Total	$		38		$		67					$				151			$	143
	As of September 30, 2013, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP that is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting periods of twenty-one months.
	Stock-Based Compensation Plans
	The Company has various stock-based compensation plans to attract, motivate, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants by providing its Board or a committee thereof the discretion to award equity incentives to these persons. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the majority of which are stockholder approved, consist of the Director Option Plan, 1997 Stock Option Plan, 2000 Stock Option Plan, 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”), the Bluehill ID AG Executive Bonus Plan and Share Option Plan (the “Bluehill Plans”), the 2010 Bonus and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), and the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”).
	Stock Bonus and Incentive Plans
	In connection with its acquisition of Bluehill ID AG in January 2010, the Company assumed the Bluehill Plans, pursuant to which options to purchase 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to executives, key employees and other service providers, based upon the achievement of certain performance targets or other terms and conditions as determined by the administrator of the plans. No grants have been made under these plans since the date of assumption.
	In June 2010, Identive’s stockholders approved the 2010 Plan, under which cash and equity-based awards may be granted to executive officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and members of the Company’s Board, as designated from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Participants”). An aggregate of 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock was reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan as equity-based awards, including shares, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock or deferred stock awards. These awards provide the Company’s executives and key employees with the opportunity to earn shares of common stock depending on the extent to which certain performance goals are met. For services rendered, Company executives are eligible to receive an incentive bonus in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock with certain lock-up periods. In addition, the Company’s executives and key employees are eligible to receive a grant of non-qualified stock options in an amount equal to 20% of the number of U.S. dollars in the participant’s base salary. The Compensation Committee may make incentive awards based on such terms, conditions and criteria as it considers appropriate, including awards that are subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria. Stock awards are generally fully vested at the time of grant, but subject to a 24-month lock-up from the date of grant. Because the award of share-based payments described above represents an obligation to issue a variable number of the Company’s shares determined on the basis of a monetary value derived solely on variations in an operating performance measure (and not on the basis of variations in the fair value of the entity’s equity shares), the award is considered a share-based liability in accordance with ASC 480 and is remeasured to fair value each reporting period. All shares reserved and remaining available for grant under the 2010 plan were transferred to the 2011 Plan upon the adoption of the 2011 Plan (described below) and the Company utilizes all such shares for performance-based awards to Participants pursuant to the 2011 Plan. As of September 30, 2013, a total of 1.1 million shares have been issued as performance awards pursuant to the 2011 Plan.
	On June 6, 2011, Identive’s stockholders approved the 2011 Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The 2011 Plan provides that stock options, stock units, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights may be granted to officers, directors, employees, consultants, and other persons who provide services to the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2011 Plan serves as a successor plan to the Company’s 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan. The Company reserved 4.0 million shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan, plus 4.6 million shares common stock that remained available for delivery under the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan as of June 6, 2011. In aggregate, as of June 6, 2011, 8.6 million shares were available for future grants under the 2011 Plan, including shares rolled over from the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan. From June 6, 2011 through September 30, 2013, a total of 3.8 million options have been granted pursuant to the 2011 Plan.
	Stock-Based Compensation Expense (Stock Bonus and Incentive Plans)
	The following table illustrates the stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock bonus and incentive plans included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were accrued for and included in the accrued compensation and related benefits in the respective consolidated balance sheets for the periods.
	Stock Option Plans
	Vesting terms of awards made under the Company’s stock incentive plans are generally time-based and the awards expire seven to ten years from the date of grant. Vesting varies, with some options vesting 25% each year over four years; some vesting 25% after one year and monthly thereafter; some vesting 100% on the date of grant; some vesting 1/12th per month over one year; some vesting 100% after one year; some vesting monthly over four years; and some vesting 1/12th per month, commencing four years from the date of grant. The Director Option Plan and 1997 Stock Option Plan both expired in March 2007. The 2000 Stock Option Plan expired in December 2010 and as noted above, the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan were discontinued in June 2011 in connection with the approval of the 2011 Plan. As a result, awards will no longer be granted under any of these plans.
	As of September 30, 2013, an aggregate of approximately 0.2 million options were outstanding under the Director Option Plan and 1997 Stock Option Plan, 0.2 million options were outstanding under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, 1.0 million options were outstanding under the 2007 Plan, and 3.4 million options were outstanding under the 2011 Plan. These outstanding options remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the original grant agreements under the respective plans.

	The gross amount of goodwill as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $72.4 million and $72.4 million, respectively and accumulated goodwill impairment was $49.7 million and $27.1 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded goodwill of $13.0 million in connection with its acquisition of payment solution. In addition, the Company also adjusted goodwill by $0.3 million in connection with its acquisition of payment solution as a measurement period adjustment during the year ended December 31, 2012. Of the total goodwill, a certain amount of goodwill is designated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars and is adjusted at each reporting period for the change in foreign exchange rates between the balance sheet dates.
	In accordance with its accounting policy and ASC 350, the Company tests its goodwill and any other intangibles with indefinite lives annually for impairment and assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment on an interim basis. The Company performs interim goodwill impairment reviews between its annual reviews if certain events and circumstances have occurred, including a deterioration in general economic conditions, an increased competitive environment, a change in management, key personnel, strategy or customers, negative or declining cash flows, or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods. The Company believes the methodology that it uses to review impairment of goodwill, which includes a significant amount of judgment and estimates, provides it with a reasonable basis to determine whether impairment has occurred. However, many of the factors employed in determining whether its goodwill is impaired are outside of its control and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change in future periods. These changes could result in future impairments.
	The Company performed its annual impairment test for all reporting units on December 1, 2012 and concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2012, other than the impairment identified in its interim assessment during the second quarter of 2012, as described below. As further described below, based on interim assessment performed during the three months ended September 30, 2013, some of the impairment indicators noted above were identified and a preliminary impairment charge to goodwill was recorded in its condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of the market and income approaches and in doing so relies in part upon an independent third-party valuation report. Prior to its goodwill impairment test, the Company first tests its long-lived assets for impairment and adjusts the carrying value of each asset group to its fair value and records the associated impairment charge in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company then performs its analysis of goodwill impairment using a two-step method as required by ASC 350. The first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to the respective reporting units. The market approach of fair value calculation estimates the fair value of a business based on a comparison of the Company to comparable firms in similar lines of business that are publicly traded or which are part of a public or private transaction. The income approach requires estimates of expected revenue, gross margin and operating expenses in order to discount the sum of future cash flows using each particular reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital. The Company’s growth estimates are based on historical data and internal estimates developed as part of its long-term planning process. The Company tests the reasonableness of the inputs and outcomes of its discounted cash flow analysis by comparing these items to available market data. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill value is determined, in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, to assess level of goodwill impairment, if any. During the second step, management estimates the fair value of the Company’s tangible and intangible net assets. Intangible assets are identified and valued for each reporting unit for which second step is performed. The difference between the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and the sum of the fair value of the identified net assets results in the implied value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. Both in 2013 and 2012, when the impairment test was performed, the Company had six reporting units. These reporting units include Hirsch, ID Solutions, payment solution and idOnDemand, which are the four components of the Identity Management segment, and ID Infrastructure and Transponders, which are the two components of the ID Products segment.
	2013 Interim Impairment Test
	During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company began a strategic review of certain under-performing business units for potential divestiture and to simplify the Company’s operations and market focus, and as a consequence revised its forecasted revenue, gross margin and operating profit for future periods. In addition, the Company noted certain other indicators of impairment, including a change in management following the appointment of a new chief executive officer, a sustained decline in its stock price, and as a result of the U.S. Federal budget sequester continued reduced performance in certain reporting units. Based on its reduced forecast and the indicators of impairment noted above, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis as part of its quarterly close as of September 30, 2013. Based on the results of step one of the goodwill impairment analysis, it was determined that the Company’s net adjusted carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value for the Hirsch, ID Solutions, payment solution and idOnDemand reporting units. As a result, the Company proceeded to the second step of the goodwill impairment test for these four reporting units to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to calculate the impairment loss, if any.
	Due to the length of time necessary to measure impairment of goodwill relating to these four reporting units, the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis was not completed as of the time of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is subject to change. Based on the preliminary results of step two of the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of goodwill for the Hirsch, ID Solutions, payment solution and idOnDemand reporting units was impaired and recorded a preliminary impairment charge of $22.6 million in its condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. While goodwill impairment charges are preliminary, they represent Company’s best estimates as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company expects to complete its analysis during the fourth quarter of 2013 and will record any adjustments to this preliminary estimate at that time.
	2012 Interim Impairment Test
	During the second quarter of 2012, the Company experienced a significant decline in its stock price, resulting in the Company’s market capitalization falling significantly below its net book value, and the Company’s demand outlook deteriorated due to macroeconomic uncertainty and associated softness in demand for the Company’s offerings. These factors were considered indicators of potential impairment, and as a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis as part of its quarterly close as of June 30, 2012. The interim impairment of goodwill was primarily triggered due to decline in the Company’s market capitalization that occurred after the filing of its 2012 first fiscal quarter Form 10-Q and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the forecasted future cash flows used in the income approach. Based on the results of step one of the goodwill impairment analysis, it was determined that the Company’s net adjusted carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value for the ID Solutions, idOnDemand and Transponder reporting units. As a result, the Company proceeded to the second step of the impairment test for these three reporting units to determine impairment loss, if any.
	Based on the results of step two of the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of goodwill for the idOnDemand, Transponder and ID Solutions reporting units was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $27.1 million in its consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2012, of which $21.4 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012, $5.0 million was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $0.7 million was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2012.
	Future impairment indicators, including further declines in the Company’s market capitalization or changes in forecasted future cash flows, could require additional impairment charges.

	Of the total intangible assets, certain acquired intangible assets are designated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars and are adjusted each reporting period for the change in foreign exchange rates between the balance sheet dates. Each period the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of purchased intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization and adjusts the useful life, as appropriate and amortization is prospectively adjusted over the remaining useful live. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their useful lives as shown in the table above. The Company evaluated its amortizable intangible assets for impairment at the end of each reporting periods and concluded that no indicators of impairment existed, other than the periods mentioned below.
	2013 Impairment Test
	As noted above, the Company began a strategic review of certain under-performing business units for potential divestiture during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. As a consequence, the Company performed an impairment analysis for intangible assets in accordance with its accounting policy for reviewing long-lived assets for impairment. As a result of this analysis, the Company identified that backlog is impaired and recorded an impairment charge in its condensed consolidated statements of operations of $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Based on this analysis, the Company expects to recover the remaining balance of identified intangible assets of $10.6 million.
	2012 Impairment Test
	As noted above, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2012 and in conjunction also performed an impairment analysis for intangible assets in accordance with its accounting policy for reviewing long-lived assets for impairment. Management determined the estimated undiscounted cash flows and the fair value of the identified intangible assets to measure the impairment loss and in doing so relied in part upon an independent third-party valuation report. The impairment analysis for intangible assets indicated that some of the identified intangible assets are not recoverable as the sum of its estimated future undiscounted cash flows were below the asset’s carrying value. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair value of these identified intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis to measure the impairment loss. The discounted cash flow analysis requires estimates such as expected revenue, gross margin and operating expenses, in order to discount the sum of future independent cash flows using discount rates which were determined based on an analysis of each individual identified intangible asset group and consideration of the aggregate business of the Company. The discount rates used in the present value calculations were in the range of 16% to 20%, except for one asset group where it was 50%. The discount rates were derived from a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) analysis, adjusted to reflect additional risks related to each asset’s characteristics. The Company tested the reasonableness of the inputs and outcomes of its discounted cash flow analysis by comparing these items to available market data.
	As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that certain of its intangible assets were impaired and recorded an impairment charge in its condensed consolidated statements of operations of $24.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, of which $23.9 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $0.9 million was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
	The following table illustrates the amortization expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

	Hirsch Acquisition – Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Hirsch Electronics Corporation (“Hirsch”), effective November 1994, Hirsch had entered into a settlement agreement (the “1994 Settlement Agreement”) with two limited partnerships: Secure Keyboards, Ltd. (“Secure Keyboards”) and Secure Networks, Ltd. (“Secure Networks”), whereby Hirsch was obligated to make royalty based payments to Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks. Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks were related to Hirsch through certain common shareholders and limited partners, including Hirsch’s then-president Lawrence Midland, who is now the president and a director of the Company. Following the acquisition of Hirsch, Mr. Midland continues to own 30% of Secure Keyboards and 9% of Secure Networks.
	On April 8, 2009, Secure Keyboards, Secure Networks and Hirsch amended and restated the 1994 Settlement Agreement to replace the royalty-based payment arrangement under the 1994 Settlement Agreement with a new, definitive installment payment schedule with contractual payments to be made by Hirsch in future periods through 2020 (the “2009 Settlement Agreement”). Prior to the acquisition of Hirsch, the Company was not a party to the 2009 Settlement Agreement. The Company has, however, provided Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks with a limited guarantee of Hirsch’s payment obligations under the 2009 Settlement Agreement (the “Guarantee”). The 2009 Settlement Agreement and the Guarantee became effective upon the acquisition of Hirsch on April 30, 2009. Hirsch’s annual payment to Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks in any given year under the 2009 Settlement Agreement is subject to increase based on the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index during the prior calendar year.
	The final payment to Secure Networks was due on January 30, 2012 and the final payment to Secure Keyboards is due on January 30, 2021. Hirsch’s payment obligations under the 2009 Settlement Agreement will continue through the calendar year period ending December 31, 2020, unless Hirsch elects at any time on or after January 1, 2012 to earlier satisfy its obligations by making a lump-sum payment to Secure Keyboards.
	The Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.5 million of interest expense for the interest accreted on the discounted liability amount during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million of interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which is included as a component of interest expense, net in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $6.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, were outstanding for related-party liability in connection with the Hirsch acquisition, of which approximately $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were shown as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

	payment solution Acquisition – Unsecured Loan.  In connection with its acquisition of payment solution, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Bluehill ID AG, the Company assumed an unsecured loan payable to Mountain Partners AG, a significant shareholder of the Company. At the inception of the loan agreement, an amount of €250,000 was provided for working capital needs. An amount of €327,000, or approximately $0.4 million, was outstanding as of the payment solution acquisition date of January 30, 2012. The loan carries an interest rate of 8% per year. There are no specific payment terms and the amount outstanding under the loan agreement, including accrued interest, is due to be paid upon demand by Mountain Partners AG. The Company recorded interest expense on the loan of $6,900 and $21,900 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $6,200 and $17,200 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively which is included as a component of interest expense, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company initiated discussions with Mountain Partners early in September 2013 to restructure its obligations under unsecured loan as it became apparent that it would prove difficult to continue to fulfill its obligations. The Company has not made any payments of principal or interest to Mountain Partners since it has assumed this loan in January 2012. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were outstanding under the loan, which is shown as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

	Secured Debt Facility
	On October 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million with an initial drawdown of $7.5 million and, provided certain financial and other requirements are met, an additional $10.0 million in loan advances, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The initial drawdown of $7.5 million is reflected in the Secured Term Promissory Note dated October 30, 2012 (the “Secured Note”). The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Secured Note are secured by substantially all assets of the Company (“Collateral”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.9 million after incurring approximately $0.6 million in issuance costs related to the Secured Note. The issuance costs were accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 835-30, Imputation of Interest (“ASC 835-30”). Amongst other commitments, the Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain a certain amount of revenue, EBITDA, and current ratio on a consolidated basis (“covenants”). If any covenants are not met, the violation may constitute an event of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Lender may, at its option, do any of the following, including: accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the secured obligations together with a prepayment charge, declare all obligations immediately due and payable, and release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. The agreement also provides for definitions and construction of the Loan Agreement, terms of payment, conditions of loans, creation of security interest, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, and the Lender’s rights and remedies. In addition, under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to declare or pay cash dividends or to make cash distributions, except that the Company’s subsidiaries may pay dividends and make distributions to the Company. The Loan Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein (including compliance with financial covenants), beginning October 1, 2013 and continuing until December 31, 2013, the Company may request an additional advance in an aggregate amount up to $2.5 million, however the Company has no intent of requesting this additional advance amount. After full drawdown of the $10.0 million term loan, the Company has the opportunity to secure additional advances up to a further $10.0 million subject to compliance with certain conditions and covenants as set out in the Loan Agreement or as may be otherwise required by the Lender. The Secured Debt Note matures on November 1, 2015 and bears interest at a rate of the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 7.75% and (ii) 11.00%. Interest on the Secured Note is payable monthly beginning on November 1, 2012, and the principal balance is payable in 30 equal monthly installments beginning on May 1, 2013.
	In connection with the initial advance, the Company paid a $150,000 facility charge to the Lender, of which 50% will be credited to the Company if all advances under the Loan Agreement are repaid on but not before maturity. The Company may prepay outstanding amounts under the Secured Note, subject to certain prepayment charges as set out in the Loan Agreement. The Company will also pay additional fees to the Lender in the aggregate of $1,000,000, payable in three equal annual installments beginning on October 30, 2013. The entire amount of these fees is immediately due and payable if the Company prepays all of its obligations under the Loan Agreement or if the Lender declares all obligations due and payable after an event of default thereunder. The Company recorded interest expense on the Secured Note of approximately $0.2 million and $1.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company initiated discussions with the Lender early in 2013 as it became apparent that certain of the covenant thresholds would prove difficult to maintain. The Company and the Lender entered into a first amendment to the Loan Agreement on March 5, 2013 that reduced the monthly EBITDA requirement for the period January 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013. As consideration for the first amendment, the Company paid cash of $76,268 in fees. The Company entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement on April 22, 2013 that changes the period for the measurement of EBITDA to occur on a quarterly, rather than monthly basis. As consideration for the second amendment, the Company paid cash of $114,397 in fees. The Company and the Lender entered into a third amendment to the Loan Agreement on August 7, 2013 that changed the terms for prepayment of the loan and changed the amount of minimum EBITDA for the second, third and fourth quarter of 2013. The third amendment permits the Company to prepay a portion of the outstanding Advances (in addition to allowing full prepayment of the Advances) by paying the applicable prepayment charge together with the pro-rated End of Term Charge (as defined in the original agreement). In addition, the Lender also added a financial covenant for the Company to raise $6,000,000 in equity financing between July 1, 2013 and August 31, 2013. As stated in Note 4, Stockholders’ Equity of Identive Group, Inc., the Company raised $7.1 million in private placement on August 14, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
	As consideration for the third amendment, the Company paid cash of $106,000 in fees and issued a warrant to purchase 992,084 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share to Hercules on August 7, 2013. The warrant was issued in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The term of the warrant is five years and contains usual and customary terms. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 99.00%, risk-free interest rate of 1.38%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of five years. The fair value of the warrants is determined to be $0.5 million. The warrants are classified as equity in accordance with ASC 505 as the settlement of the warrants will be in shares and are within the control of the Company. The considerations, both cash and equity, paid for the loan agreement amendments are recorded as discounts on secured note and reported in the balance sheet as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the secured debt liability and not presented as a deferred charge, pursuant to ASC 835-30. The loan agreement amendments fees are amortized into interest expense pursuant to ASC 835-30 over the remaining term of the loan agreement.

	10. Segment Reporting, Geographic Information and Major Customers
	ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses and about which separate financial information is available. The Company’s chief operating decision makers (“CODM”) are considered to be its CEO and CFO.
	The Company currently has two reportable business segments, both of which focus on providing secure identification solutions. In the Identity Management segment, the Company offers physical access control and security systems and services, cloud-based credential management solutions, customized ID solutions for identity management, payment and other applications, and card-based payment systems for sports stadiums and other venues. In the ID Products segment, the Company offers secure identification products including smart card technology-based readers, terminals and tokens, and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) and NFC inlays and inlay-based tags, labels and cards.
	The CODM reviews financial information and business performance for each operating segment and also for the Identity Management and ID Products reportable segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments at the total revenue and total gross margin level. The company does not track revenue by products and services at segment level. The CODM does not review operating expenses or assert information for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources.

	During September 2013, there was a change of the Company’s chief executive officer and, as part of management’s efforts to simplify business operations, certain non-core functions were eliminated, which resulted in restructuring and severance costs of $1.3 million in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, primarily related to severance paid or accrued for our former chief executive officer and other employees. The amount accrued for restructuring and severance during September 2013 was $1.3 million and is outstanding as of September 30, 2013.
	In June 2012 the Company announced a series of cost reduction measures designed to align its business operations with the current market and macroeconomic conditions. Cost reduction measures included acceleration of the elimination of duplicate expenses at newly acquired companies, reductions in other general and administrative expenses, the consolidation of facilities, a reduction in the Company’s global workforce, and temporary reductions in executive and management salaries and Board fees. The Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30 2012.

	The Company provides warranties on certain product sales, which range from 12 to 24 months, and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company currently establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior 12 months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. Historically the warranty accrual and the expense amounts have been immaterial.

	On November 7, 2013, the Board, after reviewing strategic options, committed to a plan designed to simplify the Company’s business structure and support a revised strategy to focus on high-growth technology trends within the security market including cloud-based services and mobile access.  This plan includes the sale of the Company’s U.S. Multicard business group as well as the sale of all of the assets related to the Company’s Tagtrail mobile services platform.  The Company expects to execute agreements to sell each of these assets in the next six months; however, the Company cannot assure any outcome or the timing of any outcome related to this process.
	For financial reporting purposes, beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013, the Company intends to classify the assets related to its U.S. Multicard business group and its Tagtrail mobile services platform as discontinued operations, and expects to report income from discontinued operations and a separate expected disposal loss from the write-down to fair value of the net assets held for sale. At this time, the Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate or range of estimates with respect to the charges associated with this decision. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying amount of assets related to Company’s Tagtrail mobile services platform is insignificant.

Going Concern	'
	Going Concern
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically incurred operating losses and has a total accumulated deficit of $318 million as of September 30, 2013. These factors, among others, including the recent effects of the U.S. Government sequester and related budget uncertainty on certain parts of our business, have raised significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
	The ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and its ability to raise financing or dispose of certain noncore assets as required. The Company’s plans may be adversely impacted if it fails to realize its assumed levels of revenues and expenses or savings from its cost reduction activities. If events, such as reductions in spending under the federal budget sequester, cause a significant adverse impact on its revenues or expenses, the Company may need to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its development programs or obtain funds through collaborative arrangements with others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, or programs that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself, and to reduce personnel related costs. The Company may resort to contingency plans to make needed cost reductions upon determination that funds will not be available in a timely matter. These contingency plans include consolidating certain functions or disposing of non-core or underperforming assets. We are in the process of conducting a strategic review of our business activities with the intent of disposing of certain non-core businesses and as stated in Note 15, Subsequent Event, we have determined to sell our U.S. Multicard business group and the assets related to our Tagtrail mobile services platform. The Company may also need to raise additional funds through public or private offerings of additional debt or equity during the course from time to time as it may deem appropriate, which might cause dilution to existing stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds if and when they are required. Failure to obtain future funding when needed or on acceptable terms would adversely affect the Company’s ability to fund operations.

	Reclassifications and Restatements
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. In the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the amount related to re-measurement of contingent consideration was classified as a non-operating item in the Company’s Form 10-Q filing for the third quarter of 2012, and is now presented as part of operating expenses/income. This change in presentation did not have any impact on the consolidated net loss as reported in the Company’s third quarter financial statements for 2012.
	In the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash paid for the interest on financial liabilities was presented as cash outflows from financing activities in the Company’s Form 10-Q filing for the third quarter of 2012. This should have been presented as cash outflows from operating activities. As a result, cash used in operating activities was understated and cash used in financing activities was overstated by $0.5 million, respectively. The amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been restated to correct the impact of such error.
	As stated in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company determined that the income tax benefit related to its impairment of certain intangible assets was misstated. An income tax benefit of $5.5 million should have been recorded in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As a result, consolidated net loss was overstated by $5.5 million and loss per share was overstated by $0.09 during such period. The amount presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 has been restated to correct the impact of such error. There was no impact to the net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The updated accounting standard is an amendment to ASU 2011-12, which requires companies to present information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The updated accounting standard requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date, and may be applied retrospectively. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2014 and does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
