ITEM 11.    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

The following compensation discussion and analysis describes the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid in fiscal 2009 to each of the executive officers identified below in the Summary Compensation Table, who are referred to collectively as our “named executive officers.” In early fiscal 2009, we continued our leadership transition and hired Michael Sotnick as our Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Field Operations and we promoted John Boyer to the position of Senior Vice President, Engineering.

The Compensation Committee assists the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities regarding compensation of our executives, including the named executive officers. The Compensation Committee is composed solely of independent members of the Board, and, in accordance with its charter, is charged by the Board with the responsibility to, among other things:

·develop and periodically review compensation policies and practices applicable to executive officers, including the criteria upon which executive compensation is based, the specific relationship of corporate performance to executive compensation and the composition in terms of base salary, deferred compensation and incentive or equity-based compensation and other benefits;

·review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluate the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives, and set the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation level based on this evaluation;

·determine bases and set compensation levels for other executive officers;

·supervise, administer and evaluate incentive, equity-based and other compensatory plans of the Company in which executive officers and key employees participate, including approving guidelines and size of grants and awards, making grants and awards, interpreting and promulgating rules relating to the plans, modifying or canceling grants or awards, designating employees eligible to participate and imposing limitations and conditions on grants or awards;

·review and approve, subject to stockholder approval as required, the creation or amendment of any incentive, equity-based and other compensatory plans of the Company in which executive officers and key employees participate, other than amendments to tax-qualified employee benefit plans and trusts, and any supplemental plans thereunder, that do not substantially alter the costs of such plans to the Company or are to conform such plans to applicable laws or regulations;

·review and approve any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change-in-control arrangements or special or supplemental employee benefits, and any material amendments to any of the foregoing, applicable to executive officers, and key employees; and

·review periodically the compensation and benefits offered to non-employee directors and recommend changes to the Board as appropriate.

The Compensation Committee’s role is also to ensure that the total compensation paid to our executive officers (including each of the named executive officers) is fair, reasonable and competitive. In the course of reviewing and approving the compensation of executive officers, our Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance of all executive officers and, in the case of officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee seeks input from our Chief Executive Officer regarding their compensation. These recommendations are then considered as part of the Committee’s deliberations on compensation actions.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation program is designed to attract, inspire, motivate and reward executives responsible for attaining the financial and strategic objectives essential to our long-term success and growth in stockholder value. The key objectives of the compensation program are to:

8

·attract and retain executives who are talented, qualified and capable of achieving our business objectives;

·remain competitive with the compensation paid to similarly situated executive officers at other companies in our industry;

·inspire and motivate executives to achieve operating goals through an emphasis on performance-based compensation;

·provide a strong, direct link between our financial and strategic goals and executive compensation;

·align the interests of our executives and stockholders by tying elements of compensation to the achievement of Company goals; and

·fairly reward executives for their efforts.

The Compensation Committee evaluates individual executive performance with a goal of setting compensation at levels the committee believes are comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development operating in the security software and services industry, while taking into account our relative performance, our own strategic goals and input from third-party compensation consultants. We strive to provide a total compensation package to senior management that is competitive in the marketplace, recognizes individual performance and provides opportunities to earn rewards based on achievement of short-term and long-term corporate objectives.

The primary elements of our executive compensation program are (i) base compensation or salary, (ii) annual cash bonuses and (iii) equity-based awards. We view these components as related but distinct. The Compensation Committee determines the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarking consistent with recruiting and retention goals, its view of internal equity and consistency, individual performance and input from the Company’s retained compensation consultant, J. Richard and Co. The Compensation Committee believes that, as is common in the security software and services industry, stock-based awards, salary and cash bonuses are all necessary to attract and retain employees. The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and short-term compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation.

Competitive Market: Benchmarking

While the Compensation Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based solely on benchmarking, the Compensation Committee believes that information regarding pay practices at other companies is nevertheless useful in two respects. First, the Compensation Committee recognizes that compensation practices must be competitive in the marketplace. Second, independent marketplace information is one of the many factors that the Compensation Committee considers in assessing the reasonableness of compensation. Accordingly, our Compensation Committee retained J. Richard and Co., a compensation consultant who provides data for comparable peer groups, to review our policies and procedures with respect to executive compensation for fiscal 2009 and for fiscal 2010. The Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer use the peer data provided by J. Richard and Co. to determine whether our compensation levels are competitive and to make any necessary adjustments, including in light of officer performance and our overall performance. Additionally, the Compensation Committee conducts an annual benchmark review of the benefits of our executive officers. Although the Compensation Committee generally aims to compensate our executives at or near the 50th percentile of compensation among our peer companies, the Compensation Committee does not necessarily fix all compensation to that level. The peer companies include other publicly held businesses with which we compete for talent in our or similar industries with a size and complexity similar to ours. The peer group data was based on publicly available information. In selecting the companies for inclusion in the peer group, the revenues of each company were considered. For the Compensation Committee’s deliberations regarding fiscal 2009 executive compensation, the Compensation Committee reviewed a J. Richard and Co. report with a benchmark group comprised of the following companies:

Company Name	Revenues (1) (in millions)
Blue Coat Systems, Inc.	$	444.7
Digimarc Corporation	19.8
Entrust, Inc.	99.7		(2)
Macrovision Corporation	330.0
Network Engines, Inc.	197.5
Sonicwall, Inc.	218.6
Vasco Data Security International, Inc.	133.0
ActivIdentity Corporation	62.3

(1)Represents 2008 reported revenues.

(2)Company merged into a private organization. Data used is from their 8-K filed on 7/28/09 for their fiscal year ended 12/31/08.

Salaries for all employees, including the named executive officers, are generally reviewed and approved effective October 1 of each year.

Elements of Executive Officer Compensation

Base Salary.  The Compensation Committee seeks to provide our executive officers with competitive annual base salaries in order to attract and retain talented individuals. The base salary component of our executive officer compensation program is not designed to provide incentives to maximize our near-term performance (as performance-based cash bonuses are designed to do), but rather to provide the baseline level of compensation to executive officers. In most cases, the base salary component represents the largest annual form of compensation to executive officers, although the Compensation Committee has no formal policy regarding the allocation between base salary and other forms of compensation. In making decisions regarding base salary levels, the Compensation Committee considers and evaluates the total compensation package, including possible performance-based cash bonuses and periodic equity awards, received or to be received by a particular executive officer, and seek to ensure that the executive officer’s total compensation package is fair, reasonable and competitive. In determining appropriate salary levels for a given executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers the following factors:

·individual performance of the executive, as well as our overall performance, during the prior year;

·level of responsibility;

·breadth, scope and complexity of the position;

·internal review of the executive’s compensation relative to other executives to ensure internal equity; and

·executive officer compensation levels at peer companies to ensure competitive compensation.

The Compensation Committee sets salaries for executive officers on an individual basis at the time of hire with the objective of being competitive with comparable businesses in our industry. The Compensation Committee considers adjustments to base salary annually in light of each officer’s performance, our performance and compensation levels at other companies within our industry, as well as upon promotion or other change in job responsibilities. The Chief Executive Officer assists the Compensation Committee in its annual review of the base salaries of other executive officers based on the foregoing criteria.

The salary amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below reflect the salary decisions made by the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2009 (and with respect to Mr. Sotnick upon his hiring in December 2008 and Mr. Boyer upon his promotion in November 2008). Base salary paid to Mr. Evans in fiscal 2009 was at the 50th percentile of the industry peer group, while the base salary paid to Mr. Kerrest in fiscal 2009 was above 75th percentile of the industry peer group primarily because of his level of responsibility and experience in the position. The other named executive officer base salary compensation varied around the 25th percentile of the industry peer group.

The base salaries of our named executive officers for fiscal 2010 are unchanged and are as follows:

Name	Salary for Fiscal 2010
Grant Evans	$	380,000
Jacques Kerrest	325,000
Michael Sotnick	250,000
John Boyer	189,000		(1)

(1) Mr. Boyer’s annual salary is paid to him in Canadian dollars for a total sum of 205,000 Canadian dollars. The above figure was calculated using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2009.

10

Annual Cash Bonuses.  Each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves an incentive bonus plan to provide cash bonus payments to named executive officers based upon attainment of annual corporate objectives approved by the Board. The incentive bonus plan is designed to be at-risk and to provide an incentive to our named executive officers to achieve, and exceed, goals relating to our overall performance and individual officer performance. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the incentive bonus plans early in each fiscal year and approves the actual payouts under the plans after the end of the fiscal year. Executive officers are eligible for bonuses in an amount based on a percentage of their base salary. The target levels for the named executive officers in fiscal 2009 were as follows:

Name	Target Bonus Percent of Base Annual Salary		Maximum Bonus Percent of Base Annual Salary
Grant Evans	80	%	144	%
Jacques Kerrest	65		117
Michael Sotnick	100		180
John Boyer	30		51

For fiscal 2009, each named executive officer’s annual bonus potential was based on achievement against various established performance targets. These performance targets were set by the Compensation Committee in consultation with management and included a weighted mix of financial and personal objectives to reflect the nature of that executive’s areas of responsibility. The financial objectives on which bonus payments were based consisted of achievement of established incremental target levels for total worldwide revenues and adjusted EBITDA. The personal objectives on which bonus payments were based consisted of the following: (i) implementation of a plan to reduce expenses and strategically position the company for growth, (ii) establishment of a product roadmap and (iii) achievement of specific goals appropriate for each of the executives’ areas of direct responsibilities. These criteria were selected because the Compensation Committee believed they were the key corporate drivers of stockholder value for fiscal 2009, focusing our named executive officers on growth and profitability. The levels of performance targets chosen by the Compensation Committee were set at levels that they believed would be achievable for target levels assuming satisfactory corporate performance and difficult to achieve for maximum levels.

Bonuses are paid in cash following completion of our semi-annual review. Prior to payment, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the bonus payouts for our eligible named executive officers. The bonuses approved for fiscal 2009 are indicated in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table below. In paying bonuses at these levels, the Compensation Committee took into account the Company’s overall financial performance for fiscal 2009, and, in the cases of the named executive officers, their leadership in continuing the Company’s progress against its annual operating plan.

In early fiscal 2010, the Compensation Committee approved the target bonus opportunities of each named executive officer who continues to be an employee in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2010, each named executive officer’s annual bonus potential will be based on achievement of (i) established incremental target performance levels for total worldwide revenues and adjusted EBITDA and (ii) personal objectives. The financial objectives are more highly weighted and account for between seventy and eighty percent of the bonus, while the personal objectives account for the remaining thirty to twenty percent of the bonus. For purposes of the bonus, adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization with some internal adjustments for stock-based compensation expenses and severance costs. The bonuses are designed to emphasize stockholder value creation through improvement of our financial performance and achievement of individualized objectives relating to the portions of our business that these executives oversee and manage. The levels of performance targets chosen by the Compensation Committee were set at levels that they believed would be achievable for target levels assuming satisfactory corporate performance and difficult to achieve for maximum levels.

Equity Awards.  As an additional component of our compensation program, named executive officers are eligible to receive equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards. The Compensation Committee grants stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units to named executive officers to aid in their retention, to motivate them to assist with the achievement of corporate objectives and to align their interests with those of our stockholders by creating a

11

return tied to the performance of our stock price. In determining the timing and size of equity grants, the Compensation Committee considers the contributions and responsibilities of each executive, appropriate incentives for the promotion of our long-term growth, grants made to other executives in the industry holding comparable positions, our performance relative to corporate objectives and recent growth or decline in stockholder value. The Company also received peer data and other information from J. Richard and Co. in connection with the Compensation Committee’s analysis of the size and type of equity grants for our named executive officers for fiscal 2009.

Under the terms of the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which all new equity grants are currently made, the exercise price of any stock options awarded under the Plan must be equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock (the closing sales price on the NASDAQ Global Market) on the date of grant. We do not have any formal program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity awards on specified dates, although we usually make annual grants to existing officers and employees during the first quarter of each fiscal year and to new hires upon commencement of their employment. We do not have in place any other program, plan or practice to time stock option grants to our executive officers in coordination with the release of material nonpublic information. Stock option grants may occasionally be considered following a significant change in job responsibilities or to meet other special retention or performance objectives.

The Board appointed Mr. Evans as our Chief Executive Officer in April 2008. In order to induce Mr. Evans to join us in this capacity, the Compensation Committee approved two inducement options to purchase shares of our common stock. The first option, which represents the right to acquire 1,000,000 shares, will vest solely upon the satisfaction of time-based vesting conditions and will vest with respect to one-quarter of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and then with respect to the remaining shares monthly thereafter. The second option also represents the right to acquire 1,000,000 shares. This option will vest only if the average closing stock price for our common stock over any given 90-day period within the first four years from the date of grant equals or exceeds $4.50 per share. Once this condition has been met, the option will vest with respect to 500,000 shares and then will vest monthly thereafter with respect to the remaining 500,000 shares over the next 12 months. Mr. Evans’ options were granted outside of the Plan as an “inducement award,” but are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as if granted thereunder. For additional information regarding Mr. Evans’ inducement options, see the description under the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.  Mr. Evans did not receive any additional grants during fiscal 2009. As a result of the Compensation Committee’s assessment of Mr. Evans’ performance and market comparables, Mr. Evans was granted an option to purchase 300,000 shares with a per share exercise price of $2.30 (the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market) on November 24, 2009.

The Board appointed Mr. Kerrest as our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer in August 2008. In order to induce Mr. Kerrest to join us in this capacity, the Compensation Committee approved two inducement options to purchase shares of our common stock. The first option, which represents the right to acquire 650,000 shares, will vest solely upon the satisfaction of time-based vesting conditions and will vest with respect to one-quarter of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and then with respect to the remaining shares monthly thereafter. The second option represents the right to acquire 700,000 shares. This option will vest only if the average closing stock price for our common stock over any given 90-day period within the first four years from the date of grant equals or exceeds $4.50 per share. Once this condition has been met, the option will vest with respect to 350,000 shares and then will vest monthly thereafter with respect to the remaining 350,000 shares over the next 12 months. Mr. Kerrest’s options were granted outside of the Plan as an “inducement award,” but are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as if granted thereunder. For additional information regarding Mr. Kerrest’s inducement options, see the description under the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.  Mr. Kerrest did not receive any additional grants during fiscal 2009.  As a result of the Compensation Committee’s assessment of Mr. Kerrest’s performance and market comparables, Mr. Kerrest was granted an option to purchase 175,000 shares with a per share exercise price of $2.30 (the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market) on November 24, 2009.

The Compensation Committee believes that granting the options to Messrs. Evans and Kerrest that vest based on our stock price more directly links the pecuniary interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders.

The Board appointed Mr. Sotnick as our Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Field Operations in December 2008. In order to induce Mr. Sotnick to join us in this capacity, the Compensation Committee approved an inducement option to purchase shares of our common stock. The option, which represents the right to acquire 600,000 shares, will vest solely upon the satisfaction of time-based vesting conditions and will vest with respect to one-quarter of the underlying shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and then with respect to the remaining shares monthly

12

thereafter. Mr. Sotnick’s option was granted outside of the Plan as an “inducement award,” but is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as if granted thereunder. For additional information regarding Mr. Sotnick’s inducement options, see the description under the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Additionally, the terms of Mr. Sotnick’s employment agreement provided that if we exceeded our revenue goal from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009, we would grant Mr. Sotnick an option to purchase 350,000 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price equal to the closing sale price of the stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant, subject to Mr. Sotnick’s continued employment on such grant date. The Company did not exceed its revenue goals during the period aforementioned and the options were not granted.  In fiscal 2010, as a result of the Compensation Committee’s assessment of Mr. Sotnick’s performance and market comparables, Mr. Sotnick was granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares with a per share exercise price of $2.30 (the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market) on November 24, 2009.

As a result of the Compensation Committee’s assessment of Mr. Boyer’s performance and market comparables, Mr. Boyer was granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares with a per share exercise price of $2.30 (the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market) on November 24, 2009.

The Compensation Committee believes that periodic equity awards serve as useful performance recognition mechanisms with respect to key employees, as most awards are subject to time-based vesting provisions. The Compensation Committee typically grants stock option awards to named executive officers with a term of seven years and vest and become exercisable over a period of four years. Occasionally, the Compensation Committee makes the granting or vesting of a stock award may be made contingent on achievement of certain specific performance conditions. The Compensation Committee believes that such periodic equity awards encourage executive officers to remain with us and also focus on our long-term performance. The value of the shares subject to the fiscal 2009 option grants to executive officers is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below and further information about these grants is reflected in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” tables below.

Employment Agreements, Severance Benefits and Change in Control Provisions.  We employ the named executive officers at-will. However, from time to time, we implement plans or enter into agreements that would provide benefits payable to certain employees, including named executive officers, in connection with the termination of employment, a change in our control or other situations. The Compensation Committee considers such plans, agreements and benefits in order to be competitive in the hiring and retention of named executive officers in comparison with comparable companies with which we compete for talent. In addition, these benefits are intended to retain our officers during the pendency of a proposed change in control transaction and align the interests of our officers with our stockholders in the event of a change in control. The Compensation Committee believes that proposed or actual change in control transactions can adversely impact the morale of officers and create uncertainty regarding their continued employment. Without these benefits, officers may be tempted to leave us prior to the closing of the change in control, especially if they do not wish to remain with the entity after the transaction closes. Any departures could jeopardize the consummation of the transaction or our interests if the transaction does not close. The Compensation Committee believes that these benefits therefore serve to enhance stockholder value in the transaction, and align the officers’ interest with those of our stockholders in change in control transactions. The potential payments that each of the named executive officers will receive if a change in control or termination of employment occurs are set forth under the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Other Benefits.  Named executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable law. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including executive officers, all of which we believe to be comparable to those provided at peer companies. These benefit programs are designed to enable us to attract and retain our workforce in a competitive marketplace. Health, welfare and vacation benefits ensure that we have a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits.

Our retirement savings plan (a 401(k) Plan) is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan, pursuant to which all employees, including the named executive officers, are able to contribute certain amounts of their annual compensation, subject to limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. In fiscal 2009 we made no matching contributions to the named executive officers.

These benefits are included in the Summary Compensation Table in the “All Other Compensation” column.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Deductibility of Executive Compensation.  In making compensation decisions affecting our executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers our ability to deduct under applicable federal corporate income tax law compensation payments made to executives. Specifically, the Compensation Committee considers the requirements and impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which limits the tax deductibility to us of compensation in excess of $1.0 million in any year for certain executive officers, unless it qualifies as “performance-based compensation” under the Section 162(m) rules. The Compensation Committee considers the Section 162(m) rules as a factor in determining compensation, but will not necessarily limit compensation to amounts deductible under Section 162(m). No covered executive’s compensation was subject to or exceeded the $1.0 million limitation for fiscal 2009.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Effective October 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 718 10 50) to account for all stock grants under all of our stock plans. Under ASC 718 10 50, we are required to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. Although the Compensation Committee assessed the desirability of granting shares of restricted stock to our executive officers and employees in lieu of stock option grants in light of the accounting impact of ASC 718 10 50, we ultimately determined to retain our stock option program as the main component of our long-term compensation program because it helps to align management performance with stockholder goals. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is incurred.

Role of Executives in Determining Compensation

Our Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of our Chief Executive Officer on an annual basis and establishes our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation level. Our Chief Executive Officer is not present for these discussions related to his compensation. For the remaining executives, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee based upon individual experience and breadth of knowledge, internal considerations, and other subjective factors that the committee takes into account when determining executive compensation.

Allocation of Compensation

There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation of compensation. The factors described above, as well as the overall compensation philosophy, are reviewed to determine the appropriate level and mix of compensation. Historically, and in fiscal 2009, the largest portion of compensation to named executive officers was in the form of incentive compensation.

Timing of Compensation

Compensation, including base salary, target incentive bonus amount and associated performance targets, and stock and option awards, for our named executive officers is reviewed, adjusted, if necessary, and approved annually, usually in the first quarter of the fiscal year, by the Compensation Committee. Bonuses are paid in cash following completion of our semi-annual review and fiscal year-end. Prior to payment, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the bonus payouts for our eligible named executive officers.

Minimum Stock Ownership Requirements

There are no minimum stock ownership guidelines for our executives or employees.

(1)The value of the option and stock awards has been computed in accordance with ASC 718 10 50, which requires that we recognize as compensation expense the value of all stock-based awards, including stock options, granted to employees in exchange for their services over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period, but excluding forfeiture assumptions that are used in calculating equity award expense in the Company’s financial statements.

(2)Non-equity incentive plan compensation represents annual bonus amounts paid under our bonus plan. Bonus amounts are determined and paid after the end of the second fiscal quarter and after the end of each fiscal year, but reflect individual and Company performance for fiscal 2009 and 2008 respectively. Accordingly, bonus amounts in this table reflect bonuses paid in December 2008 for performance in fiscal 2008, in May and December 2009 for performance in fiscal 2009.

(3)Consists of premiums paid for term life insurance policies.

(4)Consists of $383 in premiums paid for a term life insurance policy and $14,667 in fees for Mr. Evans service on our Board prior to his appointment as our Chief Executive Officer

(5)Consists of $2,376 in premiums paid for a term life insurance policy and $16,650 in temporary living expenses incurred during Mr. Kerrest’s relocation.

(6)On December 17, 2008 we entered into a Severance Agreement and Release with Yves Audebert regarding his termination from his position as our President and Chief of Engineering. Pursuant to such agreement, we paid Mr. Audebert a lump sum of $142,500, which was the equivalent of six months base salary. The severance agreement also provided for the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or May 14, 2010 for which we paid $15,922. We also paid Mr. Audebert for a total $28,261 for 206.27 hours of personal and vacation time that had not accrued at a time when his personal time and vacation time had been capped. An amount equal to $12,057 was paid in satisfaction of waiting time penalties incurred for late payment of Mr. Audebert’s final wages and accrued vacation. Not related to the severance agreement, the Company paid $1,400 in auto allowance and $103 in premiums for a term life insurance policy.

Pension Benefits

We do not have a defined benefit plan. Our named executive officers did not participate in, or otherwise receive any special benefits under, any pension or retirement plan sponsored by us during fiscal 2009.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

During fiscal 2009, our named executive officers did not contribute to, or earn any amounts with respect to, any defined contribution or other plan sponsored by us that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.

17

In November 2008, our Board established the non-employee Directors’ Equity Compensation Program, effective January 1, 2009, pursuant to the Plan, which permits our non-employee directors to elect to receive some or all of his or her cash retainer and meeting fees from us in the form of options and/or restricted stock units under the Plan. Under this program, each non-employee director who elects to receive an option, will receive an option to purchase a fixed number of shares of common stock at a price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, with the number of shares that may be purchased under such an option equal to the value of the cash retainer and meeting fees to be forfeited by the non-employee director divided by one-third of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. This option would be immediately exercisable. Each non-employee director who elects to receive restricted stock units under this program, will receive restricted stock units with a grant date fair value equal to the amount of the cash retainer and meeting fees to be forfeited by the non-employee director. During fiscal 2009, no Directors elected to receive some or all of his or her cash retainer and meeting fees from us in the form of options and/or restricted stock units.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

In connection with the appointment of Grant Evans as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on April 23, 2008, we entered into employment agreement with him. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Evans receives an annual salary of $380,000 and is eligible for a cash bonus targeted at 80% of his annual salary. Mr. Evans also received two option grants, each for the purchase of up to one million shares. One of the options will vest only in the event that the average closing price of our common stock over a 90-day period, is equal to or greater than $4.50 per share and will be forfeited in its entirety if the target stock price is not achieved within four years. In the absence of a Change of Control (as defined in his employment agreement), if Mr. Evans’ employment with us is terminated by us without Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement) he shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: (i) 12 months of his base salary, plus the target bonus for that year; (ii) the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or 12 months from the date of his termination; and (iii) acceleration of 250,000 of the unvested shares of common stock on his time based vesting option for 1,000,000 shares. If there is a Change of Control and Mr. Evans is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within one year of the Change of Control, Mr. Evans will receive: (i) 18 months of his base salary, plus the target bonus for that year; (ii) the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or 12 months from the date of his termination; and (iii) accelerated vesting of all granted and outstanding options since time of employment such that they are fully vested and immediately exercisable upon termination. The salary and bonus payments would be made in a single lump sum upon his termination. Payment of the foregoing benefits would be conditioned upon Mr. Evan’s resignation from our Board and execution of a release agreement within 21 days of his termination.

In connection with Jacques Kerrest’s appointment as our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, on August 1, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with him. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Kerrest receives an annual salary of $325,000 and is eligible for a cash bonus targeted at 65% of his annual salary. Mr. Kerrest also received two option grants. The first option was for the purchase of up to 650,000 shares of common stock. The second option was for the purchase of up to 700,000 shares of common stock and will vest only in the event that the average closing price of our common stock over a 90-day period, is equal to or greater than $4.50 per share. Furthermore, the second option will be forfeited in its entirety if the target stock price is not achieved within four years. In the absence of a Change of Control (as defined in his employment agreement), if Mr. Kerrest’s employment with us is terminated by us without Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement) he shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: (i) 12 months of his base salary, plus the target bonus for that year; (ii) the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or 12 months from the date of his termination; and (iii) acceleration of 162,500 of the unvested shares of common stock on his time based vesting option for 650,000.

The salary and bonus payments will be made in a single lump sum upon his termination.

In connection with Michael Sotnick’s appointment as our Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Operations on December 7, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with him. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Sotnick receives an annual salary of $250,000 and is eligible for a cash bonus targeted at 100% of his annual salary. Mr. Sotnick also received an option grant. The option was for the purchase of up to 600,000 shares of common stock. If Mr. Sotnick’s employment with us is terminated by us without Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement) he shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: (i) 12 months of his base salary, plus the target bonus for that year; (ii) the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or 12 months from the date of his termination. If there is a Change of Control and Mr. Sotnick is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within one year of the Change of Control, Mr. Sotnick will receive: (i) 12 months of his base salary, plus the target bonus for that year; (ii) the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or 12 months from the date of his termination; and (iii) accelerated vesting of all granted and outstanding options since time of employment such that they are fully vested and immediately exercisable upon termination. The salary and bonus payments will be made in a single lump sum upon his termination.

On December 17, 2008 we entered into a Severance Agreement and Release with Yves Audebert regarding his termination from his position as our President and Chief of Engineering. Pursuant to such agreement, we paid Mr. Audebert a lump sum of $142,500, which was the equivalent of six months base salary. Mr. Audebert also received $53,438 in satisfaction of his incentive bonus compensation for 2008. The severance agreement also provided for the same level of health coverage and benefits in effect immediately preceding his termination until the earlier of the date he is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA or May 14, 2010. We also accelerated the vesting on 326,042 of his unvested stock options and 36,731 of his unvested restricted stock units and extended the exercise period for his vested options until the earlier of May 14, 2010 or the date such options expire on their terms. We also paid Mr. Audebert for a total $28,261 for 206.27 hours of personal and vacation time that had not accrued at a time when his personal time and vacation time had been capped. An amount equal to $12,057 was paid in satisfaction of waiting time penalties incurred for late payment of Mr. Audebert’s final wages and accrued vacation. All of the above payments, with the exception of the penalty for late payment, were paid subject to applicable withholding taxes. The above severance benefits were contingent upon Mr. Audebert agreeing to (i) a release of claims, (ii) not to make any written or oral defamatory communications against the Company, and (iii) not to use or disclose any confidential information obtained during his employment, unless required to be subpoena or court order.

Our 2002 Stock Option Plan and 2004 Equity Incentive Plan provide that, in the event of a “change in control” (as defined) of the Company, the Compensation Committee or Board may elect to accelerate some or all of the vesting of outstanding option awards granted under such plans.

401(k) Plan

We have established and maintain a retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code to cover our eligible employees. The Internal Revenue Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a tax deferred basis through contributions to a 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan permits us to make matching contributions on behalf of eligible employees. In fiscal 2009, no matching contributions were made to the named executive officers.

Director Compensation

During fiscal 2008, after consultation with our compensation consultant, J. Richard and Co, our Board approved increases in the quarterly retainer fees for non-employee directors and for the Chairman of each of the various standing committees of the Board, as well as adding a quarterly retainer for participation in the other standing committees of the Board. During fiscal 2009, after consultation with J. Richard and Co, our Board approved a quarterly retainer fee for the newly created Lead Independent Director role. All other fees and stock award recommendations remained the same as previously approved during fiscal 2008.

During fiscal 2009, each non-employee director was paid a quarterly cash retainer for his or her membership on the Board, for his or her membership on a committee and for his or her attendance at board or committee meetings. In addition to the cash compensation, non-employee directors receive an annual grant of restricted stock units which vest in monthly installments over a one-year period from the date of grant. The tables below summarize the compensation was that was paid to our non-employee directors during fiscal 2009;

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has authority to supervise, administer and evaluate incentive, equity-based and other compensatory plans of the Company in which executive officers and key employees participate. From time to time, the Compensation Committee may present compensation recommendations to the Board for review and approval by the non-employee directors.

The Compensation Committee has not in the past delegated any authority to another person or entity to take action with respect to executive officer compensation.

Although the Compensation Committee receives recommendations from management regarding option grants to non-executive employees, authority to make equity grants to non-executive employees rests with the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee retains a compensation consultant to provide compensation data for peer companies. The Compensation Committee works with the consultant to identify what is considered an appropriate group of peer companies and then discusses with the consultant how the Company’s compensation practices compare to practices at competitors. Although the Compensation Committee uses this compensation data as a tool to help provide appropriate compensation levels, the Compensation Committee does not strictly benchmark compensation from this data.

The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the proxy statement for the year ended September 30, 2009.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Related Parties

Steven Humphreys, one of our directors, serves on the board of directors of SCM Microsystems. SCM supplied certain product hardware to ActivIdentity in fiscal 2009 and fiscal in 2008, ActivIdentity purchased approximately $10,000 and $544,230 of hardware from SCM in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

On August 3, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the sale of certain immaterial assets and the licensing of other assets to idOnDemand, Inc., a privately held corporation of which Mr. Hart is a stockholder, director and officer. Pursuant to an asset sale agreement between ActivIdentity and idOnDemand, upon closing of the transaction, idOnDemand issued 300,000 shares of its common stock to ActivIdentity. ActivIdentity held 10% of the shares of idOnDemand at closing. The carrying value of the idOnDemand shares for fiscal year 2009 is zero. Mr. Hart resigned from the Board of Directors on August 12, 2009.

Related-Party Transaction Review and Approval

Our Board has adopted policies and procedures for the review and approval of related party transactions and has delegated to the Audit Committee the authority to review and approve the material terms of any proposed related party transactions. To the extent that a proposed related party transaction may involve a non-employee director or nominee for election as a director and may be material to a consideration of that person’s independence, the matter may also be considered by the other disinterested directors.

Pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each of our executive officers, directors and employees must disclose transactions involving actual or apparent conflicts of interests, such as related party transactions, to his or her immediate supervisor or the Chief Financial Officer. In order to avoid such conflicts, our executive officers, directors and employees may not receive any payments, compensation or gifts, other than gifts of nominal value, from any entity that does business or seeks to do business with us. Furthermore, without the consent of our Board, our executive officers, directors and employees may not use property or information belonging to us or their position with us for improper personal gain.

In determining whether to approve or ratify a related-party transaction, the Audit Committee may consider, among other factors it deems appropriate, the potential benefits to us, the impact on a director’s or nominee’s independence or an executive officer’s relationship with or service to us, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. In deciding to approve a transaction, the Audit Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on us or the related party in connection with its approval of any transaction. Any transactions involving the compensation of executive officers, however, are to be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. If a related-party transaction will be ongoing, the Audit Committee may establish guidelines to be followed in our ongoing dealings with the related party. Thereafter, the Audit Committee, on at least an annual basis, will review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to see that they are in compliance with the committee’s guidelines and that the related-party transaction remains appropriate

ITEM 14.    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees

The Audit Committee reviews audit and non-audit services performed by BDO, as well as the fees charged by BDO for such services. In its review of non-audit service fees, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, the possible impact of the performance of such services on the auditors’ independence. Additional information concerning the Audit Committee and its activities with BDO can be found in the “Report of the Audit Committee.”

24

The following table summarizes the aggregate fees that were billed by BDO for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008. Audit fees reflected below are for the review and audit of the financial statements in the stated period; all other fees are for amounts paid in the stated period.

(2)Fees for audit-related services consist of financial accounting and reporting consultations.

In considering the nature of the services provided by our registered independent public accountants, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with the registered independent public accountants and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditors’ independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Audit Committee has adopted a written charter that, among other things, requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve the rendering by our independent registered public accountants of audit or permitted non-audit services. All audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accountants in fiscal 2009 were approved by the Audit Committee in advance of the rendering of such services.
