ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

The demands on today’s enterprises, corporations, organizations and governments require ever-increasing extension outside their boundaries to interact with suppliers, customers, citizens and employees. Integrated supply chains, e-commerce, e-government and mobile employees are demanding business applications be open and available to them at all times. These environments require the ability to efficiently secure digital identities and information, which are continuously targeted by individuals or criminal organizations that thrive on obtaining sensitive data by leveraging data breaches, identity thefts and fraud attacks.

To help solve these challenges, Entrust secures digital identities and information with a deep product/solution portfolio, which includes public key infrastructure, ePassport, fraud detection, multifactor authentication, SSL digital certificates and e-mail security, among others.

In 2008, particularly the third and four quarters, market conditions began to dictate how and what organizations allocated for security solutions within continuously shrinking budgets. This trend is predicted to continue at least through the first half of 2009; security providers will adjust their strategies accordingly.

Organizations that invested heavily in information security—and the overall number of security projects—were forced to rethink their tactics in late 2008 and into 2009. While budgets may govern the spending power of today’s enterprise or government agency, emphasis on security can’t be eliminated. More focus is being placed on affordable, interoperable solutions that are based on security measures that only come into play when risk meets a pre-defined level.

Known as risk-based authentication and fraud detection, security is now being applied based on the risk elements related to the data an organization holds and the transactions it conducts. Organizations see this cost-effective approach as a tool of enablement that promotes cost-savings, efficiency and interoperability between corporations, client, customers, vendors and suppliers.

Table of Contents

Simultaneously, public understanding of the risks to digital identities and information drives organizations toward action. Malware, phishing, pharming, database breaches, laptop theft and man-in-the-middle attacks on identities and information have created anxiety among consumers and citizens. Despite budget cuts and volatile market conditions, some organizations are responding to customer fears by working to prevent the brand damage resulting from identity-related fraud and data breaches. Unfortunately, many organizations are not and feel that the cost of appropriate security measures are greater than that from fraud loss and brand damage.

Meanwhile, legislators also have become involved in creating laws and regulations such as California SB1386, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, Basel II, UK Faster Payment Initiative, Identity Theft Red Flag Guidelines (Sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003) and the FFIEC guidance on financial institution authentication. These mandates have increased the pressure on organizations to mitigate risk to identities and information. In addition, more than 35 states have passed data breach legislation very similar to CA SB1386, requiring organizations to notify individuals whose personal information may have been compromised as a result of a data breach.

Penalties resulting from brand damage and customer defection in light of a security breach are expensive. When the stakes are so high, many organizations have taken the security decisions out of the hands of users and building rules and policies designed to automate security. Implementing cost-effective solutions—many based on automated rules and policies—helps to properly and consistently remediate risks.

Entrust’s years of expertise and proven success help organizations, financial institutions and global governments solve these security challenges by providing solutions that are proven, affordable and easy to use.

About Entrust

Entrust, Inc., provides affordable, trusted solutions that secure digital identities and information for consumers, enterprises and governments in 2,000 organizations spanning 60 countries. Offering trusted security for less, Entrust solutions represent the right balance between affordability, expertise and service. Entrust software and associated services enable businesses and governments around the world to conduct high-value, highly sensitive transactions, over wired and wireless networks including the Internet, in compliance with today’s regulatory guidelines.

More than 2,000 customers have purchased and deployed Entrust solutions that integrate into the broad range of applications organizations use today to leverage Internet and enterprise applications to improve productivity. We have more than 125 patents and patent applications pending that demonstrate our commitment to innovation and addressing the needs of our customers.

Entrust’s strategy consists of two primary pillars—outlined in detail below—to help secure information and identities and enable security-conscious enterprises and governments to implement efficient, cost-effective and interoperable solutions that stimulate revenue, mitigate risk, secure information and protect end-users.

CORPORATE STRATEGY

In 2008, Entrust continued to focus on key vertical and geographical markets, product transformation and innovation, customer deployments and service improvements. Entrust’s corporate priority in 2009 is to continue the momentum established in 2008 and grow the company profitably by promoting “trusted security for less” for consumer, enterprise and government environments.

To achieve this goal, Entrust has improved upon the overall strategy and implemented the appropriate internal changes to drive revenue growth by: expanding markets for its proven solutions; focusing on solutions that provide subscription-based revenue; executing on vertical and geographical opportunities; increasing channels to market; keeping a tight hold on costs; continuing to be the security for global governments, particularly for second-generation ePassport deployments; and remaining focused on customers.

Security Strategies

Entrust security solutions enable enterprises and governments to securely leverage the online channel to generate revenue, decrease costs and increase operational efficiencies while mitigating risk and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Security has moved beyond protecting the border of an organization. Security has evolved from border protection toward comprehensive strategies that secure identities and information in a proven, cost-effective manner.

Entrust’s affordable security model provide solutions that are easy-to-use, increase end-user acceptance and limit help-desk calls. This approach helps enable companies to meet regulatory and industry compliance requirements for security, including PCI, FFIEC, UK Faster Payments, Red Flag, HSPD-12, numerous state data breach regulations and more.

Entrust solutions are strategically positioned in two distinct categories—multifactor authentication & fraud diction and public key infrastructure and digital certificates. From these, Entrust provides organizations, enterprises and governments trusted security for less, which includes SSL, authentication, fraud detection, secure shared data, e-mail security and management of digital certificates.

Multifactor Authentication & Fraud Detection

Recognizing that different transactions carry varying levels of risk, Entrust developed a dynamic risk-based authentication solution that provides customers a unique capability. Leveraging Entrust’s combined authentication and fraud detection solutions, customers have the ability to increase the strength of authentication based on the real-time risk of a customer’s behavior, rather than forcing all users to authenticate based on a static policy.

The Entrust multifactor and fraud detection solution features the award-winning Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform and Entrust TransactionGuard, which collaborate to secure and protect the digital identities of consumers and citizens from online fraud.

Appropriate for enterprise, government or consumer environments, Entrust IdentityGuard 9.1 is an open versatile authentication platform that enables organizations to layer security—according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction—across diverse users and applications. The platform’s authentication options include strong username and password enforcement, IP-geolocation, machine/device authentication, questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid cards and a range of one-time-passcode tokens.

Entrust TransactionGuard monitors transactions and seeks fraudulent behavior and access patterns amid the massive volumes of data generated by transactional Web sites. The solution examines this data and identifies potentially suspicious behavior and high-risk activities without impacting the user experience or system performance. It serves as a resource to protect consumers and help organizations defend and manage the risk associated with online services.

Entrust GetAccess, a respected single sign-on (SSO) solution, delivers a single entry and access point to Web portal information and applications. The solution serves as the springboard for Web services and provides authentication and authorization for XML and Web services data. Supporting the broadest range of authentication methods and user devices available today, Entrust GetAccess makes it possible for organizations to personalize services, content and data for the diverse needs of a varied user community.

Multifactor Authentication & Fraud Detection Product Highlights:

 

   

In April 2008, Entrust upgraded Entrust IdentityGuard to include critical administrator authentication support for Windows and Unix. New to the product, Entrust IdentityGuard also can strongly authenticate administrators accessing Microsoft Windows servers, both locally and remotely.

 

   

Adding to an already impressive collection of respected partners, in June 2008 Entrust announced an agreement with Acxiom to provide cost-effective identity theft and fraud prevention solutions. Now an Entrust Trusted Partner, Acxiom now resells Entrust’s risk-based authentication solution, which includes multifactor authentication, fraud detection and transaction-monitoring capabilities. Entrust integrates Acxiom’s real-time consumer verification capabilities with its portfolio and jointly sells the solution with Acxiom.

 

   

In December 2008, SC Magazine named Entrust IdentityGuard as a finalist in the “Best Multi- and Second-factor Solution” category for outstanding achievement in information technology security. Entrust IdentityGuard was selected from more than 600 entries submitted in more than 30 technology categories. Winners of the award were to be announced in San Francisco, Calif., April 21, 2009.

 

   

Entrust once again improved upon Entrust IdentityGuard, this time by adding self-service capabilities, which provide streamlined enrollment of new users, a critical process for both enterprise and consumer-based deployments. The solution includes self-service management of existing users, providing Web-based management for activities like resetting passwords, changing question and answers, or activating a one-time-passcode token.

 

   

Announced concurrently with the self-service feature, Entrust IdentityGuard now includes eGrid cards, which are a soft-grid format that enables organizations to implement strong authentication without requiring end-users to carry expensive third-party hardware tokens.

Public Key Infrastructure & Digital Certificates

Digital certificates and public key infrastructure combine to form a single, unified product category. Working together, these technologies are the foundation for many of Entrust’s product offerings. From secure e-mail, network folder encryption, ePassport, strong authentication and document-signing, these represent some of the most valuable, secure solutions Entrust implements for customers across the globe.

A pioneer of public key infrastructure (PKI), Entrust has fostered the growth of the technology as it has matured into a strong, trusted security environment. Much like the advent of Web 2.0, PKI has evolved into an infrastructure that affords organizations a more usable, transparent and automatic security environment.

The continued evolution of PKI represents the future of secure technology and application enablement. From secure communication, national security, financial transactions and regulatory compliance, PKI is a mature, easy-to-use technology that enables organizations to seamlessly authenticate users, protect information, lowers costs and provides transparent security for all parties involved.

Entrust PKI solutions provide authentication, encryption and digital certificate capabilities to the enterprise and government marketplace. The goal of PKI is to establish and maintain a trustworthy networking environment. This is achieved by providing key- and certificate-management services that enable encryption and digital signature capabilities across applications in a way that is transparent and easy to use. Once deployed, a PKI can authenticate identities, secure e-mail communication via encryption, authenticate/digitally sign documents or encrypt/decrypt sensitive files and folders.

Modular and fully integrated, the Entrust Authority PKI portfolio is built on the foundation of Entrust Authority Security Manager, the certification authority (CA) responsible for issuing and managing users’ digital identities. Optional PKI components can easily be integrated to help meet an organization’s unique security requirements and transparently automate all security-related processes through a single PKI.

Entrust Security Provider (ESP) has been leveraged by many customers, even those with Microsoft Vista, for cost-effective key and certificate management. The product’s thin-client architecture allows the solution to easily be added on top of existing operating systems that may have a native PKI component that lacks much-needed management capabilities.

For customers looking to take advantage of the security benefits of PKI without managing the infrastructure themselves, the Entrust Managed Services PKI is a flexible, cost-effective alternative. Entrust’s best-of-breed PKI solutions are available in an easy-to-manage, administer-hosted offering. The Entrust Managed Services PKI is hosted in a comprehensive, multilayered secure environment with fully redundant infrastructures in two geographic locations. The Entrust Managed Services PKI enables customers to concentrate on growing their core business securely without the need to develop internal PKI expertise.

It is managed and executed by Entrust’s Professional Services team for both the public and private sectors. The solution was chosen as the PKI provider for the General Services Administration (GSA) HSPD-12 Managed Service Offering in 2007.

A result of the company’s PKI innovation, Entrust continues to be a leader in first- and second-generation ePassport deployments or migrations. This vertical will serve as a valuable cornerstone for Entrust’s government initiatives in 2009, particularly as more EU member countries race to comply with mandates to upgrade to the Extended Access Control standard in June of this year.

Entrust SSL digital certificates—standard SSL, extended validation (EV) SSL, Unified Communication and Adobe CDS certificates—provide a critical line of defense against information theft, phishing and man-in-the-middle by confirming identities on the Web, within specialized applications or complex communication environments via trusted vetting processes and proven technology.

For organizations that require efficient management of a large pool of certificates, the Entrust Certificate Management Service features a self-service tool that helps streamline the procurement and administration of SSL certificates. Acting as a centrally managed, self-service system, the Certificate Management Service reduces administrative hassles and lessens the risk of inadvertent certificate expiration by allowing customers to synchronize and control the timing of SSL certificate expiration. The Certificate Management Service also enables administrators to “re-use” or “recycle” their SSL certificates to maximize usage and minimize costs.

Entrust Entelligence Group Share is an innovative network folder encryption solution that offers never-before-seen capabilities that provide enterprises transparent, persistent (i.e., remains encrypted regardless of where it is stored) and automatic encryption for network files and folders. The offering also includes powerful auditing tools to comply with respective regulations and mandates.

Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server is an e-mail security solution that makes it easier to communicate securely with external business partners and customers. Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server delivers standards-based e-mail encryption capabilities in a comprehensive platform. The solution is easy to deploy and maintain for organizations that communicate sensitive or regulated information—both inside and outside their organization—via e-mail. Updated in 2008, Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server customers now can leverage their existing statement-generator applications and have all statements generated in industry-standard PDF format and forwarded via e-mail to the server for encryption.

The appliance supports a wide range of options including OpenPGP, S/MIME and SSL encryption standards, all within the user’s native e-mail client. EMS also includes support for mobile e-mail clients such as BlackBerry and HTML-enabled, browser-based cell phones. The solution allows external recipients to communicate securely using the encryption standard of their choice, including S/MIME, Open PGP, Web Mail Pull and Web Mail Push.

PKI and Digital Certificates Product Highlights:

 

   

To further the advancement of ePassport technology, Entrust announced Entrust Authority 8.0 in April 2008, which is a PKI solution that offers a single platform for enterprise X.509 standard as well as ePassport capabilities. With these capabilities integrated in a single platform, advanced ePassport capabilities operate within a secure, proven PKI system with administration and distribution secured using the X.509 certificate architecture.

 

   

In September 2008, Entrust’s EAC ePassport PKI operated “flawlessly” during the ePassport EAC Conformity & Interoperability Tests in Prague—a key interoperability test for second-generation ePassports—by leveraging Slovenia and UK infrastructure. Entrust was able to demonstrate perfect PKI certificate exchange for EAC interoperability tests across multiple countries and vendors. Entrust also made official the partnership with 3M. The two companies agreed to collaborate to provide an integrated end-to-end secure ePassport solution.

 

   

Entrust announced in December 2008 the development of Entrust Certificates for Adobe CDS. Accessible and affordable, Entrust Certificates for Adobe CDS enable organizations to digitally sign Adobe PDF files with confidence. Recipients will be able to take advantage of visual trust indicators to verify who published the document and confirm whether it has been altered.

 

   

Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server 9.1, Entrust’s user-friendly e-mail security solution, was updated in 2008. In addition to built-in standards-based certificate issuance for easy deployment, Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server 9.1 now includes Secure PDF delivery and e-statement encryption. The appliance appeared in the May 2008 issue of SC Magazine where it was rated a five-star product and earned the publication’s “recommended” rating. The solution was called a “fantastic value given the price point and feature set. A truly competitive player in the email security space.”

Customers

As of December 31, 2008, Entrust had licensed software to more than 2,000 customers in more than 60 countries. These customers, in turn, have implemented Entrust software to securely deliver information and services to millions of consumer, enterprise and government end-users. Entrust’s customers are Global 1500 enterprises, including financial, healthcare, telecommunications and large manufacturing organizations, as well as domestic and foreign government agencies.

Key customer events in 2008 include:

 

   

Entrust advanced its role as the world’s ePassport leader by being selected to supply the CA software for Finland’s migration to advanced second-generation ePassports based on the Extended Access Control (EAC) standard. Finland’s Population Register Centre expects the transition to the new EAC ePassport CA solution to be complete by the end of the first quarter in 2009. The Finnish Population Register Centre will be able to provide the Finnish Police the ePassport CA services needed for the issuing of EAC ePassports to its citizens.

 

   

Slovenia selected Entrust to facilitate its government’s migration to a second-generation ePassport solution based on the EAC standard. Slovenia’s second-generation ePassport capabilities represent one of the core components of the country’s citizen-centric e-government.

Business Development

Identifying new markets and opportunities in advance of the current competitive landscape has been a consistent theme at Entrust. The breadth of Entrust’s security products, solutions and services, key relationships and the number of customers are testimony to Entrust’s success.

To identify and develop strategic relationships with targeted industry providers more effectively, Entrust has a business development organization that pursues select business development activities, including the administration and promotion of the Entrust-Ready Program. These activities permit Entrust to strengthen relationships with existing strategic providers and identify and encourage new providers of software, network computing and communications products to make their products interoperable with Entrust. Entrust actively looks for opportunities to continue its leadership position, whether by partnering, internally developing or acquiring the necessary technologies and services to provide a full suite of solutions to its customers.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Certain Entrust products are subject to special export requirements administered by the governments of the United States, Canada and other countries. Entrust’s products may also be subject to import restrictions and/or use restrictions imposed by some countries. Consequently, Entrust’s ability to export its products to destinations outside the U.S. and Canada is subject to a variety of administrative requirements, government approvals or licensing requirements. Re-exports of the products between countries other than the U.S. and Canada may be subject to the export control laws of those countries in addition to those provisions of the U.S. and/or Canadian export control laws which apply to re-exports. In light of these regulations, depending on the end-user, end-use and country of destination, some of our products may not be sold to certain parties, and some products made available abroad may contain significantly weaker encryption capabilities than those available to customers in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, extra controls which the United States applies to sales to foreign governmental entities, as noted below, can create additional obligations for Entrust in this market sector. All other Entrust products are exempt from U.S. export authorization and they have been marketed accordingly.

In summary, the rules are as follows: U.S. products cannot be exported to certain prohibited persons and entities, to certain embargoed countries, or for certain types of end-uses. No U.S. governmental review is required for some exports, such as products containing limited use encryption, including products that are limited to financial applications, and exports for internal use by foreign subsidiaries of companies based in the U.S. and in certain other countries. For other encryption products, exports are allowed after a one-time 30-day review, except that certain products identified as “restricted” require separate licenses for export to government end-users in certain countries.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Entrust relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish, maintain and protect Entrust’s proprietary rights. Entrust currently has a portfolio of over one hundred and twenty-five (125) patents and pending patent applications. During the past eighteen months Entrust has filed intellectual property lawsuits against Addison Avenue Federal Credit Union (alleged patent infringement), Open Solutions Inc. (alleged patent infringement), and Corel Corporation (alleged copyright infringement). Entrust intends to continue to seek opportunities to monetize its intellectual property assets through licensing and, when necessary, litigation.

Pursuant to patent cross-license agreements, Entrust also licenses some of its patents to other corporations and, in return, receives rights from those corporations in respect to patents owned or licensable by such corporations. Entrust is a licensee under patent cross license agreements with Nortel Networks Limited (Nortel) and Tumbleweed Communications Corp. The license with Nortel was entered into in connection with Entrust’s spinout from Nortel. Entrust is also a licensee in respect to certain individual patents that are not part of any cross licensing arrangement.

Table of Contents

A very large proportion of Entrust’s products incorporate technology that is licensed or purchased from third parties and, as such, a significant percentage of Entrust’s revenues depend upon the availability of licensed or purchased technology. Entrust uses a large number of open source software packages in its products. In general, these software packages are licensed to Entrust on a no-charge basis without any representations or warranties as to performance or non-infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. Accordingly, if these open source packages are found to infringe or misappropriate any third-party intellectual property rights, Entrust could potentially be held liable by such third parties and potentially by Entrust’s customers pursuant to intellectual property indemnity obligations in Entrust’s license agreements with such customers. In such a case, Entrust would not have any recourse against the developer of such infringing or misappropriating open source software. Certain open source packages used by Entrust, and in particular, certain components in the GNU Linux operating system, are licensed pursuant the GNU General Public License (the “GPL”). In certain instances, the terms of the GPL may require a licensee to make certain of that licensee’s own proprietary software available under the same terms as the GPL. As such, application of the GPL’s “viral” terms to a licensee’s own proprietary software could result in that proprietary software become available, at no charge, as open source software. Entrust does not believe that any of its proprietary software is subject to the viral provisions of the GPL, however, the exact scope of these viral provisions has not been definitively established in any court actions and there is significant disagreement within the software industry about the actual scope of these viral provisions.

Some of Entrust’s newer products incorporate or are based on hardware products and components that are supplied and assembled by third-party suppliers, and, as such, a portion of Entrust’s revenues are based upon the availability of such products and components to Entrust. For example, Entrust now delivers some of its products in an appliance form factor. This means that products that were previously licensed as software only are now delivered on a hardware platform. These hardware platforms are generally commercially available rack-mountable servers. Entrust is also in the process of introducing hardware-based one-time password (OTP) authentication tokens that use electrical devices mounted onto a circuit board. If the pricing of these third-party products, or components thereof, changes or if new suppliers are used, there may be a detrimental or positive impact on the competitiveness and/or availability of these Company products.

The amount and nature of the third-party technology used in Entrust’s products varies between products. In general, and except as further discussed below, Entrust’s products or other revenue generating activities (i) do not depend to a material extent on any one technology that is only available from a single source, (ii) do not depend to a material extent on any technology that would require a significant engineering effort to replace, or (iii) are not of a type that cannot be supplied by multiple vendors. Furthermore, except as further discussed below, Entrust believes that due to market competitiveness, any change in vendors or in third-party providers of technology will not have a material effect on the pricing or appeal of the affected Company product. To the extent that Entrust uses hardware products or components for its products, Entrust believes that these products and components are relatively standard and are readily available from multiple sources. For example, to the extent that Entrust offers appliance-based products, the rack-mountable servers that it uses for those appliances can be replaced provided that the replacement server has sufficient processing power and memory to support the operation of the GNU Linux operating system and Entrust applications and other applications that are supported by the current server. Given the number of hardware servers that now support GNU Linux and its associated applications, Entrust believes that it would be able to find a satisfactory replacement from a technical perspective. To the extent that Entrust uses various hardware components for the OTP tokens, Entrust believes that the electrical devices being used within these OTP tokens are sufficiently generic that suitable technical substitutes could be obtained within reasonable timeframes.

Entrust maintains internal processes to monitor the terms and renewal dates for various third-party technologies so that Entrust is able to plan in advance for contract renegotiation, extension, or product substitution. Therefore, it is Entrust’s belief that, in general, in the case of interruption, non-renewal or expiration of a third-party license, the measures currently in place will allow Entrust to promptly provide for replacement technology. However, some of Entrust’s products incorporate technology licensed from third parties that cannot be promptly replaced. An example is certain Java-related technologies that are made available, without a royalty

Table of Contents

obligation, by Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Sun). Notwithstanding the fact that this technology is only available from a single source, Entrust believes that there is no material risk that such technology will become unavailable to Entrust without significant prior notice. In the case of the Java-related technologies referenced above, Entrust believes there is no material risk that Sun is going to significantly change the terms under which those Java-related technologies are made available to the computer industry and further if Sun were to make any significant changes, it would provide its licensees with alternative choices or a significant period of time to transition to other technologies.

Another example of a technology that could potentially be difficult to replace is the GNU Linux operating system. The GNU Linux operating system is used as the underlying operating system for a number of Entrust’s appliance-based products. If the GNU Linux operating system was no longer available to Entrust, or was to become available to Entrust only under terms and conditions that were unacceptable to Entrust, then Entrust would need to seek a replacement operating system for its appliance-based products. The transition to such a replacement operating system could be lengthy and costly because of the need to potentially modify various Company applications that previously ran on the GNU Linux operating system so that they could run on the replacement operating system. Such a transition might also involve incremental royalty costs if the royalties for the replacement operating system exceeded those that Entrust is paying for the variant of GNU Linux that it is currently using. It is also possible that Entrust might have to replace other third-party applications with which Company applications currently interoperate if such third-party applications are not supported on any replacement operating system that might be selected by Entrust. If this were the case, this need to replace these third-party applications could increase the re-engineering effort and might result in the need to license commercial packages with attendant royalty obligations.

In the case of Entrust’s Certificate Services business, the commercial viability of that business is dependent on having various browser manufacturers continue to embed Entrust’s root key certificate in their browsers. If one or more of these manufacturers were to remove Entrust’s root key certificate from their browser, the viability of Entrust’s Certificate Services business could be negatively affected. However, because of the rate of turnover of various browser releases, the effect of such a removal would probably be gradual. Additionally, it might also be possible to address such a removal by entering into a cross certification arrangement with another certification authority whose root key certificate was still embedded in the affected browser. It should be noted that such a potential solution might be expensive or unavailable because any certification authorities that might be in a position to cross certify with Entrust would also probably have competitive offerings to Entrust’s Certificate Services business.

COMPETITION

Entrust addresses key markets that help mitigate business risk by securing information and securing identities. Entrust solutions protect users and reduce loss from business fraud and protect sensitive data, regardless where it resides, while providing robust controls and audit on those who can access critical systems. Our focus is on 6 emerging growth areas: Consumer Authentication, Enterprise Authentication, Content Control, Email Security, Digital Certificates and Developer Tools. In each of these areas, Entrust encounters some of its traditional competitors, as well as new vendors who are entering the market.

Entrust believes that the principal competitive factors affecting the market for its security solutions include features such as ease of use, quality/reliability of security, scalability, customer service and support and price. Although Entrust believes that its products compete favorably in respect of all these factors, there can be no assurance that Entrust can maintain its competitive position against current or potential competitors.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2008, Entrust had 411 full-time employees globally. No employees are covered by any collective bargaining agreements, and Entrust believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS

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

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

 

   

reduced capital expenditures and operating budgets for software, especially within our critical vertical markets;

 

   

length of sales cycles associated with our product offerings;

 

13


Table of Contents
   

the timing, size and nature of our licensing transactions;

 

   

the increased dependency on partners for end user fulfillment;

 

   

market acceptance of new products or product enhancements by us;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

changes in pricing policies by our competitors;

 

   

changes in our operating expenses;

 

   

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

   

acceptance provisions in the contractual terms with customers that impact the timing of revenue recognition.

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

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

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

Continued disruption in U.S. and international economic conditions and credit markets may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

The global economy is currently experiencing a significant contraction, with an almost unprecedented lack of availability of business and consumer credit. This current decrease and any future decrease in economic activity in the United States, United Kingdom or in other regions of the world in which we do business could significantly and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition in a number of ways. Any decline in economic conditions may reduce the demand for our products and services, thereby reducing our revenues and earnings. Our customers may also experience insolvencies, bankruptcies or similar events which may cause us to incur bad debt expenses at levels higher than historically experienced. Our suppliers may also experience insolvencies, bankruptcies or similar events which may cause us to lose access to support for third party software and hardware that is included in our products. In addition, the increased currency volatility could significantly and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. It could cause our prices to be more expensive in foreign markets, which could reduce the demand for our products and services. It could also result in higher reported costs, which might affect our profitability and, ultimately, our liquidity. Also, any of the above factors could adversely affect our ability to access credit or raise capital.

Volatility in the foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies in which we do business may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We are subject to foreign exchange risk as a result of exposures to changes in currency exchange rates, specifically between the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Japan. This exposure is generally not considered to be material with respect to the United Kingdom, European and Japanese operations due to the fact that the net earnings of these operations, denominated in local currencies, are not significant. However, because a disproportionate amount of our expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars, through our Canadian operations, while our Canadian denominated revenue streams are cyclical, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, and in particular, fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. Therefore, a favorable change in the exchange rate for the Canadian subsidiary would result in higher revenues when translated into U.S. dollars, but would also mean expenses would be higher in a corresponding fashion and to a greater degree. In addition, our Canadian subsidiary transacts the a large number of its international sales in currencies other than its home currency; in particular, U.S. dollars, British pound sterling and Euro dollars. While the balances related to these transactions remain in accounts receivable, the Canadian subsidiary is subject to foreign currency gains or losses as the exchange rates between these currencies and the Canadian dollar change, such that a strengthening of the Canadian dollar against any of the these currencies may result in a realized foreign exchange loss upon cash collection of an account receivable denominated in that currency.

Historically, we have not engaged in formal hedging activities, but we do periodically review the potential impact of foreign exchange risk to ensure that the risk of significant potential losses is minimized. However, as a significant portion of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, overall our reported expense base was not affected in 2008, when compared to 2007, due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States and Canadian dollars. Taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on reported Canadian revenues, the net effect on reported earnings was an unfavorable $0.1 million for 2008, when compared to 2007. In 2009, we expect a significant reduction in reported revenues and expenses due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the other major currencies that we do business in with both customers and vendors.

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

the timing of customers’ budget cycles; and

 

   

customers’ internal approval processes.

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

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

Historically, a limited number of customers have accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, our three largest customers accounted in the aggregate for 25%, 28% and 28% of revenues, respectively. We anticipate that our results of operations in any given period will continue to depend to a

 

15


Table of Contents

significant extent upon revenues from a small number of large customers. In addition, we anticipate that such customers will continue to vary over time, so that the achievement of our long-term goals will require us to obtain additional significant customers on an ongoing basis. Our failure to enter into a sufficient number of large licensing agreements during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, which may be, but not necessarily, mitigated by higher volume of lower dollar transactions.

In addition, our accounts receivable include material balances from a limited number of customers, with five customers accounting in the aggregate for 21% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2008, compared to 26% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2007. No customer individually accounted for 10% or more of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 and 2007. As of December 31, 2008, the total accounts receivable is $18.4 million, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.8 million. Changes in the financial condition of these customers could result in a different assessment of the existing credit risk of our accounts receivable and thus, a different required allowance, which could have a material impact on our reported earnings.

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

The extended government vertical (Governments, including Healthcare) accounted for 43% of our product revenue in 2008 and 44% of product revenue in 2007. The U.S. and Canadian governments represented 14% and 8% of total revenues, respectively, in 2008, which includes revenues sold through resellers to these government end users. Sustaining and growing revenues in the government market will depend, in large part, on the following:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

government spending could be reprioritized to wartime activities;

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

adverse publicity;

 

   

product returns;

 

   

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

 

   

third-party claims against us.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

expand, train, motivate and manage our work force.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

copy aspects of our products;

 

   

obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary; or

 

   

infringe upon our patents.

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

 

   

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

 

19


Table of Contents
   

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

 

   

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We may lose suppliers whose loss could adversely affect our ability to sell our products.

Some of Entrust’s newer products incorporate or are based on hardware products and components that are supplied and assembled by third-party suppliers, and, as such, a portion of Entrust’s revenues are based upon the availability of such products and components to Entrust. If the pricing of these third-party products, or components thereof, changes or if new suppliers are used, there may be a detrimental or positive impact on the competitiveness and/or availability of these products.

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

It is possible, as part of our current and future growth strategies that we will from time-to-time acquire or make investments in companies, technologies, product solutions or professional services offerings. With respect to these acquisitions, we would face the difficulties of assimilating personnel and operations from the acquired businesses and the problems of retaining and motivating key personnel from such businesses. In addition, these acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing operations, divert senior management from day-to-day business, increase our expenses and adversely impact our results of operations. Any future acquisitions would involve certain other risks, including the assumption of additional liabilities, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and incurrence of debt. In addition, these types of transactions often result in charges to earnings for such items as amortization of purchased intangibles or in-process research and development expenses.

For example, in June 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Orion, based in McLean, Virginia, and in July 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock and options of Business Signatures, based in Redwood City, California. While management has largely integrated the newly acquired technology and operations, each of the above risks applies to these acquisitions.

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

In the future, we may establish additional foreign operations, hire additional personnel and establish relationships with additional partners internationally. This expansion would require significant management attention and financial resources and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although our international sales currently are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, UK pounds sterling and Euro dollars, we may increasingly denominate sales in foreign currencies in the future. In addition, our international business may be subject to the following risks:

 

   

difficulties in collecting international accounts receivable;

 

   

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

 

   

potentially longer payment cycles for customer payments;

 

   

increased costs associated with maintaining international marketing efforts;

 

   

introduction of non-tariff barriers and higher duty rates;

 

   

difficulties in enforcement of contractual obligations and intellectual property rights;

 

   

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

 

   

increased complexity in global corporate tax structure.

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

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

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

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

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

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

   

announcements of technological innovations;

 

   

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

 

   

developments with respect to patents, copyrights or propriety rights;

 

   

conditions and trends in the security industry;

 

   

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and

 

   

general market conditions and other factors.

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

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

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

There are no unresolved written comments that were received from the SEC staff 180 days or more before the end of Entrust’s fiscal year relating to its periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Entrust’s worldwide headquarters, including executive offices and administrative facilities, is located in Dallas, Texas at One Lincoln Centre, Suite 1340, 5400 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas, 75240, where Entrust leases office space. Entrust’s Canadian headquarters is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where Entrust leases office space. Entrust also leases office space in Santa Clara, California, Redwood City, California, McLean, Virginia,

Sydney, Australia, Beijing, China and Tokyo, Japan. Entrust’s Europe, Middle East and Africa operations are headquartered in office space that it leases in Reading, England and Munich, Germany. The Santa Clara property is no longer in use by Entrust.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 7, 2000, an action entitled Frankel v. Entrust Technologies Inc., et al., No. 2-00-CV-119, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Subsequently, several similar actions were also filed. These actions were consolidated and on January 22, 2001, a consolidated complaint was filed. The consolidated complaint purported to be a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Common stock of Entrust during the period from October 19, 1999 through July 3, 2000. The consolidated complaint alleged that the defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose certain information about Entrust’s business and prospects, as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It did not specify the amount of damages sought.

On September 30, 2002, Judge T. John Ward of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order dismissing this purported securities class action lawsuit pending against Entrust with prejudice; however, the order is subject to the possibility of an appeal. As of the date of the filing of this report, Entrust has not learned of any appeal being filed. If an appeal is granted, an adverse judgment or settlement in this lawsuit could have a significant adverse impact on Entrust’s future financial condition or results of operations.

Entrust is subject, from time to time, to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these other legal matters will have a material adverse effect on Entrust’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

As of March 10, 2009, we had approximately 877 holders of record of common stock. Because many of these shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these holders of record.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of common stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance our growth strategy. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, our operating results, our current and anticipated cash needs, restrictions in any future financing agreements and our plans for expansion. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Information relating to compensation plans under which equity securities of Entrust, Inc. are authorized for issuance is set forth in Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

No purchase was made by or on behalf of Entrust or any “affiliated purchaser,” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)) during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 of shares or other units of any class of Entrust’s equity securities that is registered by Entrust pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors—Certain Factors That May Affect Our Business” and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

As a trusted security expert, Entrust secures digital identities and information for consumers, enterprises and governments. With more than 125 patents granted or pending, our cost-effective solutions help secure information-sharing among stakeholders and enables compliance with information security and government regulations. More than 2,000 customers in 60 different countries across the globe leverage Entrust’s world-class solutions.

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

As an innovator and pioneer in the Internet security software and public key infrastructure (“PKI”) fields, Entrust’s market leadership and expertise in delivering award-winning identity and information protection management solutions is demonstrated by the diversity of our products, geographic representation and customer segments. We continue to drive revenue in our key products, which are categorized into two key platforms: Authentication & Fraud Detection and Public Key Infrastructure & Digital Certificates.

In 2008, the company positioned itself in a leadership position in the Risk Based Authentication and Fraud Detection markets. These product offerings grew 71 percent in 2008 over 2007, contributing $9.3 million, or nearly 25 percent of product revenue.

Entrust offers a range of authentication capabilities so that specific methods can be used with specific users and applications. Risk-based authentication has the ability to judge each individual transaction on its own merits driven by policy-level decisions on the level of risk associated with certain transactions.

Transactions can be monitored in real-time and then a determination can be made on the level of security required for that transaction. This is done through the combination of Entrust IdentityGuard and Entrust TransactionGuard. This combined offering is a modern architecture for consumer authentication, which has a layered approach of non-invasive anomaly detection and selective intervention with minimal impact on the user experience.

An increase of 70 percent in customer growth rates and key customer wins confirms Entrust’s leadership position in the fraud detection and multifactor authentication market. Large financial institutions and security-conscious organizations across the world successfully thwart fraud with cost-effective Entrust solutions; many more will continue to do so in 2009 and beyond.

Another key shift in our business in 2008 related to PKI. Growth in the PKI segment has been in our subscription-based product revenue. In 2005, Entrust recorded less than $5 million in subscription-based product revenue. In 2008, we posted more than $12.6 million in subscription-based product revenue, a 35 percent compound annual growth rate over the past four years.

Table of Contents

The largest growth in this segment of our business has come from our SSL product, which has more than doubled over that time period and was up 32 percent over last year. The second area of growth is in our managed service offering (MSO), which recorded more than $4 million in bookings in 2008, up from approximately $500,000 in 2007. These bookings will contribute roughly $500,000 in subscription product revenue per quarter in 2009.

In total for the year, Entrust’s MSO, SSL and other subscription-based products accounted for more than $17.5 million in bookings in 2008, an increase of 48 percent over 2007. Like our success with Entrust IdentityGuard and Entrust TransactionGuard, we believe our additional functionality and capabilities, offered at a lower price, is helping to strengthen our market share. Our SSL service is competitively priced versus the leader in the market and our MSO solution helps our customers get deployed more quickly and saves them money.

Also important in 2008 was our continued strength in the global government market. This year we won four more ePassport deals, including Finland and Slovenia, won a large eBorders project and increased our deployment in the U.S. Government’s HSPD-12 program, which provides certificate-enabled smart card identities to U.S. Government workers.

Our success has been driven by our ability demonstrate the most interoperable and scalable public key infrastructure (PKI) supporting second-generation ePassports. Our product success has helped us drive solid partnerships with many of the top ePassport providers globally, including 3M, Thales, Gemalto, L1, Canadian Bank Note and others. The flexibility of our solution, our strong partners and our competitive pricing have positioned us to be successful in the growing National ID cards, digital passports, eBorders and government employee credentialing projects.

There is a key theme to our growth areas: providing the customer the capabilities and functionality they need, and delivering it at a price they can afford. We call this “Trusted Security for Less.” As we navigate this uncertain economic environment, we realize enterprises and governments are going to have very tight budgets for IT spending. However, we also believe that security solutions will have a higher priority than other IT segments and should garner a higher percentage of total IT spend in 2009.

Entrust is positioned better than many of our competitors in this environment. Not only are we delivering more capabilities and functionality in most cases, we are doing it at a much lower cost to the customer while still delivering increased earnings and cash flow for our shareholders.

In 2009, we will be changing our product reporting categories to better depict the way our customers buy our products and how we run our business.

2008 Reporting

 

   

Entrust Emerging Growth Products accounted for 26 percent ($2.7 million) of product revenue for Q4, 2008. For the full year 2008, Emerging Growth Product revenue accounted for 30 percent ($11.4 million) of total product revenue and increased 38 percent over 2007.

 

   

Entrust PKI Products accounted for 71 percent ($7.2 million) of product revenue for Q4, 2008. For the full year 2008, PKI product revenue accounted for 67 percent ($25.6 million) of total product revenue and were flat compared to 2007.

 

   

Entrust Single Sign-On (SSO) products accounted for 3 percent ($336,000) of product revenue for Q4, 2008. For the full year 2008, Single Sign-On product revenue accounted for 3 percent ($1.3 million) of total product revenue and decreased 48 percent over 2007.

2009 Reporting

 

   

Entrust Fraud and Risk Based Authentication products accounted for 27 percent ($2.7 million) of product revenue for Q4 2008. For the full year 2008, Fraud and Risk Based Authentication products revenue accounted for 28 percent ($10.6 million) of total product revenue, an increase of 34 percent year-over-year.

 

   

Subcategory IdentityGuard and TransactionGuard products accounted for $2.4 million of product revenue for Q4 2008. For the full year 2008, IdentityGuard and TransactionGuard products revenue accounted for $9.3 million of total product revenue, an increase of 70 percent year-over-year.

 

   

Entrust PKI products accounted for 73 percent ($7.4 million) of product revenue for Q4 2008. For the full year 2008, PKI product revenue accounted for 72 percent of total product revenue and decreased 3 percent over 2007.

 

   

Subcategory SSL accounted for $2.6 million of product revenue for Q4 2008. For the full-year 2008, SSL revenue accounted for $9.6 million of total product revenue, an increase of 32 percent year-over-year.

 

   

Subcategory Subscription Product accounted 32 percent ($3.3 million) of product revenue for Q4 2008. For the full year 2008, Subscription Product revenue accounted for 33 percent ($12.6 million) of total product revenue, an increase of 22 percent year-over-year.

We also provide support and maintenance services to our customers. Support and maintenance revenues decreased 1% for the full year 2008, but decreased 13% in the fourth quarter due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar. It is important to note that we achieved record renewals in 2008 of over 95% in terms of customer retention rate. We also provide professional services, including architecture, installation, and integration services related to the products that we sell.

In Q4, 2008 deferred revenues were of $27.8 million, a decrease of $100 thousand from Q4, 2007. The decrease in deferred revenue was primarily due to the impact of the Canadian dollar on the deferred revenue balance. These numbers show the continued strength of our support and maintenance renewals and the growth in our subscription based software bookings.

In 2008, Entrust increased profitability by $5.1 million or $0.08 per share. During 2007 and 2008, we have significantly reduced our total expenses through a combination of managed headcount reductions, lowering of contracting expenses and controlling variable operating costs. Because of the combination of cost-saving measures and favorable currency rates, compared to 2008, the company is positioned to save nearly $13 million in total expenses in 2009.

Entrust sells solutions globally, with an emphasis on North America, Europe and Asia. These primary areas have demonstrated the most potential for early adoption of the broadest set of Entrust solutions. Entrust extends to other non-core geographies through strategic partner relationships, which increases the leverage of our direct sales channel worldwide. In North America, Entrust is targeting a return to revenue growth in our software business by leveraging Entrust’s historical strength in selling to key verticals such as government (Federal, State, Provincial), financial services and global 1000 enterprises. Europe and the Middle East are regions where Entrust’s products and solutions continue to experience strong demand and we believe that this market will provide growth, with increased momentum from governments and enterprises leveraging Entrust’s solutions to transform their business processes and to leverage the Internet and networking applications.

We market and sell our products and services in both the enterprise and government market space. In 2008, the extended Government vertical made up 43% of product revenue, which was down 6 percent from 2007. This revenue has been driven by key global projects that have started to increase product purchases. In the extended government vertical market, we have a strong penetration in the U.S. Federal government, the governments of

Table of Contents

Canada, Singapore, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and across continental Europe. In fact, Entrust now counts 18 of the top 22 e-governments, as set forth in a report of Accenture issued in June 2007, as customers.

In 2008, 57% of our product sales were in our extended enterprise vertical market. We continue to see demand from global enterprises as they continue to respond to regulatory and governance compliance demands and extend their internal and external networks to more and more individuals inside and outside their domain. We have experienced a change in the shape of many enterprise deals. Specifically, enterprises are buying for their immediate need and then adding to their purchases as the projects begin roll out.

Our largest vertical within the enterprise market is the financial services vertical. In 2008, the financial services vertical accounted for approximately 37% of product revenue, and was up 28% over 2007. In 2008, we had very good success in the financial vertical with our Risk Based Authentication and Web Fraud Detection solutions where we had a number of large banks select Entrust IdentityGuard and Entrust TransactionGuard.

A key driver of our product growth has been the recent spotlight on identity theft due to breaches at companies like Choicepoint, LexisNexis and TJX. These breaches have proven that self-regulation over the past few years has been insufficient at addressing the underlying issues. Recent legislation has addressed these concerns. California S.B. 1386 has cast more visibility on the issue for citizens, corporations, and the government. The law requires both corporations and the government to notify California residents if their sensitive data has been breached unless encryption technology is deployed. Additionally, more than 35 states have now passed breach notification requirements.

Entrust, in the past, has relied significantly on large deals, meaning deals of $1 million or more, in each quarter. We have over the past few years reduced this dependence, and saw no product transactions over $1 million in 2008. The top five product transactions accounted for 8% of Q4, 2008 revenues. These numbers were at the low end of our historical range, which is generally between 10% and 25% of revenue from the top five customers and zero to two transactions over $1 million. In the quarter, the average purchase was $50,000, a decrease from $55,000 in Q4, 2007 and equal to Q3, 2008. Total transactions in Q4, 2008 reached 143, an increase from 138 in Q4, 2007. 49 transactions or 34% of the total transactions were from new customers.

We continue to be impacted from time to time on our software revenue by the timing of our customers’ buying process, which may include proof of concepts, senior management reviews and budget delays that sometimes results in longer than anticipated sales cycles. We are also impacted by our customers’ recent buying behavior, which is to buy only for immediate need as opposed to making a larger purchase in order to get a better discount. Any of these factors may impact our revenue on a quarterly basis.

Our management uses the following metrics to measure performance:

 

   

Number and average size of product revenue transactions;

 

   

Number of deals over $1 million and < $500 thousand;

 

   

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

 

   

Product revenue split between extended enterprise and extended government verticals;

 

   

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

 

   

Geographic revenue split;

 

   

Product-based subscription revenues;

 

   

Product and services revenues as a percentage of total revenues;

 

   

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

 

   

Deferred revenue, cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

During 2008, we continued our strategy of focusing on core vertical and geographic markets. Revenues of $99.7 million were consistent with 2007, and consisted of 38% product sales and 62% services and maintenance. Services and maintenance revenues decreased 3% from 2007, due to decreased demand for consulting services, while product revenues increased 5% over 2007, primarily driven by improved subscription-based product revenues and improved closure rate for product transactions, despite a lower average purchase value compared to 2007. Net loss in 2008 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.10 per share in 2007, with total expenses decreasing 5% to $100.8 million in 2008, despite a $1.5 million write-down of a long-term asset in 2008. We generated $6.4 million in cash flow from operations in 2008, compared to net cash generated from operations of $4.5 million in 2007. Entrust Emerging Growth Products (Entrust IdentityGuard, Boundary Messaging and Fraud Detection) accounted for 30% of product revenue, and increased 38% from 2007. Entrust PKI Products accounted for 67% of product revenue, which is essentially flat compared to 2007. Entrust SSL Certificate Services revenues, a component of our PKI Product solutions suite, increased 32% over 2007. Entrust Single Sign-On Products accounted for 3% of product revenue, and decreased 48% from 2007. Overall, Extended Government accounted for 43% and Extended Enterprise accounted for 57% of the product revenue in 2008. The financial services vertical accounted for approximately 37% of 2008 product revenues, an increase of 28% from 2007.

Other highlights from 2008 included:

 

   

The average purchase size in 2008 was $52,000, which was a decrease from $57,000 in 2007. Total transactions in 2008 reached 512, which is up 8% from 472 transactions in 2007. We added 166 new customers in 2008, compared to 133 new customers in 2007, an increase of 25%.

 

   

Revenue from subscription based product and services accounted for 53% of total revenue in 2008, up from 51% in 2007. Subscription based product revenue increased to $12.6 million, an increase of 22% year-over-year and accounted for 33% of product revenue, while subscription based product bookings increased 48% to $17.5 million. Entrust IdentityGuard and TransactionGuard accounted for $9.3 million of product revenue for the full year 2008, up 70% over the full year 2007.

 

   

Deferred revenue was $27.8 million, down $0.1 million from 2007.

 

   

We ended 2008 with $24.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, which is up from $20.5 million at the end of 2007, and no debt.

 

   

We had no product transactions over $1 million in 2008, compared to two such transactions in 2007. Revenue from transactions under $500 thousand increased 9% from 2007, continuing to drive our strategy to be less reliant on large deals. Transactions under $500 thousand accounted for 92% of product revenue in 2008, compared to 89% in 2007.

 

   

We improved our Entrust IdentityGuard platform with enhanced self-service capabilities, including the Entrust eGrid, an innovative approach to delivering strong second-factor authentication without deploying a physical device. Our eGrid cards represent a new element to our dynamic multifactor authentication solutions. The advanced soft-grid format enables organizations to implement strong authentication without requiring end-users to carry expensive third-party hardware tokens.

 

 

 

Entrust and Adobe announced a partnership to provide specialized digital certificates in support of Adobe’s Certified Document Services (CDS) program. Entrust Certificates for Adobe CDS enable organizations to digitally sign Adobe PDF files with confidence. Recipients will be able to take advantage of visual trust indicators to verify who published the document and confirm whether it has been altered. Entrust Certificates for Adobe CDS work seamlessly with both Adobe® Reader® and Adobe Acrobat® (version 6.0 or later) on the desktop and Adobe LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES on the server.

We advanced our role as the world’s ePassport leader by being selected to supply the CA software for Finland’s migration to advanced second-generation ePassports based on the Extended Access Control (EAC) standard. Finland’s Population Register Centre expects the transition to the new EAC ePassport CA solution to be complete by the end of the first quarter in 2009. The Finnish Population Register Centre will be able to provide the Finnish Police the ePassport CA services needed for the issuing of EAC ePassports to its citizens.

 

   

Entrust IdentityGuard was named a finalist in the 2009 SC Awards—‘Best Multi- and Second-factor Solution’ category—for outstanding achievement in information technology security. Entrust IdentityGuard was selected from more than 600 entries submitted in more than 30 technology categories.

 

   

We were named a 2009 finalist for Network Products Guide’s “Hot Companies Award,” ranking the organization among the world’s elite “Software-as-a-Service” companies. This recognition distinguishes Entrust out of more than 600 companies worldwide. Entrust is identified as a leading information security company due to breadth and depth of products, strong commitment and quality of employees and executive leadership, and strategic market dynamics and market penetration.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates.

In 2008, our most complex accounting judgments were made in the areas of software revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, the provision for income taxes, accounting for uncertain tax positions, valuation of goodwill, purchased intangibles and other long-term assets, and stock-based compensation. These areas are expected to continue to be ongoing elements of our critical accounting processes and judgments.

Software Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

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

At the time of a transaction, we assess whether the sale amount is fixed or determinable based upon the terms of the documented agreement. If we determine the fee is not fixed or determinable at the outset, we recognize revenue when the fee becomes fixed and determinable. We assess if collection is reasonably assured based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we do not record revenue until such time as collection becomes probable, which is generally upon the receipt of cash.

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

For arrangements involving multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each component based on the vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the various elements. These elements may include two or more of the following: software licenses, maintenance and support, consulting services and training. For arrangements where vendor-specific objective evidence is not available for a delivered element, we first allocate the arrangement fee to the undelivered elements based on the total fair value of those undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor-specific objective evidence. This portion of the arrangement fee is deferred. Then the difference (residual) between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. We attribute the discount offered in a multiple-element arrangement entirely to the delivered elements of the transaction, which are typically software licenses. Fair values for the future maintenance and support services are based upon substantially similar sales of renewals of maintenance and support contracts to other customers. Fair value of future services, training or consulting services is based upon substantially similar sales of these services to other customers. In some instances, a group of contracts or agreements with the same customer may be so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single multiple-element arrangement, and therefore, we would undertake to allocate the corresponding revenues amongst the various components, as described above.

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

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

We base our ongoing estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts primarily on the aging of the balances in the accounts receivable, our historical collection patterns and changes in the creditworthiness of our customers. Based upon the analysis and estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable, we record an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts when the prospect of not collecting a specific account receivable becomes probable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the best information available to us and is re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. We exhaust all avenues and methods of collection, including the use of third party collection agencies, before writing-off a customer balance as uncollectible. While credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Each circumstance in which we conclude that a provision for non-payment by a customer may be required must be carefully considered in order to determine the true factors leading to that potential non-payment to ensure that it is proper for it to be categorized as an allowance for bad debts.

However, a significant change in the financial condition of a major customer, such as the European distributor discussed below, could have a material impact on our estimates regarding the sufficiency of our allowance. Our accounts receivable include material balances from a limited number of customers, with five customers accounting for 21% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2008, compared to 26% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2007. No customer accounted for 10% or more of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2008. For more information on our customer concentration, see our related discussion in “Risk Factors”. Therefore, changes in the assumptions underlying this assessment or changes in the financial condition of our customers, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, and the timing of information related to the change in financial condition could result in a different assessment of the existing credit risk of our accounts receivable and thus, a different required allowance, which could have a material impact on our reported earnings.

During 2006, we became aware of financial concerns regarding one of our European distributors and, as a result, we concluded that it was necessary to record an increase to our provision for doubtful accounts, which accounted for approximately $1.0 million of the $2.0 million balance of allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2007. These receivable balances were written off during the third quarter of 2008 and, as a result, accounting for $1.0 million of the $1.2 million decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts to a balance of $0.8 million at December 31, 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes

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

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We recorded a valuation allowance of $145.0 million as of December 31, 2008, which offsets deferred income tax assets relating to United States and foreign net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $121.8

Table of Contents

million and $23.2 million of deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences. This valuation allowance represents the full value of our deferred tax assets, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets as a result of our recent history of financial losses. Therefore, our balance sheet includes no net deferred tax benefits related to these deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are provided against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the timing of the temporary differences becoming deductible. We consider, among other available information, historical earnings, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and other matters in making this assessment. Until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained, we expect to continue to record a full valuation allowance and will not record any benefit from the deferred tax assets.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions

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

We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, we were not required to record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, resulting in no adjustment to the January 1, 2007 accumulated deficit balance. Correspondingly, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was zero and, thus, did not impact our effective tax rate. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not change as of December 31, 2008.

The implementation of FIN No. 48 required us to use judgment in establishing the tax positions undertaken by us in our tax filings across the world, as well as determining which of these positions are certain or uncertain. In making these determinations, we were required to make interpretations of tax legislation and administrative enforcement of this legislation in multiple jurisdictions, but primarily in the United States and Canada. In addition, we used judgment to assess whether the identified uncertain tax positions were more likely than not of being sustained upon audit examination by the tax authority in the relevant jurisdictions. If applicable, we are also required to make estimates of the value of unrecognized tax benefits and the significance of any change to our results of operations and financial position. Finally, we were required to estimate, if applicable, the financial impact of interest and penalties of any position that would not likely be sustained on audit.

Valuation of Goodwill, Purchased Intangibles and Other Long-term Assets

We have completed several acquisitions in recent years, from which we have acquired goodwill and other purchased intangible assets, in the form of purchased product rights, customer relationships, partner relationships and non-competition agreement assets. We purchased CygnaCom Security Solutions, Inc. and enCommerce, Inc. in 2000, Entrust Japan Co. Limited and certain assets of AmikaNow! Corporation in 2004, and Orion Security Solutions, Inc. and Business Signatures Corporation in 2006.

These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase prices were allocated to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. In determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, we are required to make significant assumptions and judgments regarding such things as the estimated future cash flows that we believe will be generated as a result of the acquisition of customer/partner relationships and purchased product rights, and the estimated useful life of these acquired intangible assets. We believe that our assumptions

Table of Contents

and resulting conclusions are the most appropriate based on existing information and market expectations. However, different assumptions and judgments as to future events could have resulted in different fair values being allocated to the intangible assets acquired.

We will review these assets for impairment in future, in accordance with the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which require goodwill to be reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable, and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

Goodwill with a balance of $60.2 million at December 31, 2008 is tested for impairment annually and also in the event of an impairment indicator. To determine any goodwill impairment, we perform a two-step process on an annual basis, or more frequently if necessary, to determine 1) whether the fair value of the relevant business unit exceeds carrying value and 2) the amount of impairment loss, if any. This test requires us to make judgments as to what is the appropriate business unit with which to associate the individual components of goodwill for the purposes of determining whether the carrying value of the goodwill has exceeded the fair value or market value of the relevant business unit. In our judgment, we operate in only one business segment. The assumptions used to test for impairment, including expected revenues, discount rates, and terminal values, are highly subjective. Valuation models are sensitive to changes in assumptions, and therefore changes in these assumptions in the future could result in significant impairment charges or changes to our expected amortization. No impairment was required as a result of the annual impairment test as of December 31, 2008 and no events have indicated that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Purchased product rights, customer relationships, partner relationships and non-competition agreements of key personnel of acquired companies totaling $9.6 million at December 31, 2008 are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally four to ten years. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In such reviews, the related expected undiscounted cash flows are compared with their carrying values to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. These reviews require significant judgment and estimation regarding the amount and timing of future revenues and related expenses associated with these acquired assets.

In addition, subsequent to the impairment discussed below, we have a net balance of $0.9 million from our investment in other long-term assets at December 31, 2008, which consist primarily of capitalized software development costs, related to Entrust products offered for sale to our customers. These capitalized costs are amortized ratably as the underlying revenues are recognized on sales of capitalized software or over a three year period. The economic useful life of these capitalized software development costs is periodically re-assessed. During the third quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment of $1.5 million in the book value of capitalized software development costs related to our video based training, originally developed for both general security and Entrust specific solutions, for sale to our customers. During the third quarter of 2008, we became aware that our lead customer for this product was no longer interested in pursuing an agreement to license the content of the video based training technology. This fact, combined with changes in the management of the video based training program and the decision to discontinue investment in the maintenance of the technology to ensure continuity with our software releases, indicated to our management that a degradation in the carrying value of the related capitalized development costs may have occurred. We applied an expected present value technique to estimate the fair value of this long-lived asset in determining that the recoverable value had been impaired.

We are not aware of any further impairment events during the year ended December 31, 2008. However, if the demand for the technologies, products and assets acquired and developed materializes slowly, to a minimum extent, or not at all in the relevant market, we could lose all or substantially all of our remaining investment in these assets, which would have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

In addition, we use restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) in incentive compensation plans for employees and members of the Board of Directors, in place of, or in combination with stock options to purchase shares of our stock. RSUs allow the employees to receive our Common stock once the units vest. The RSUs generally vest over two to four years.

Beginning in 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has issued performance stock units to certain key employees. These performance grants are based on the achievement of certain pre-determined criteria such as budgeted level of revenue attainment or target stock price. The associated compensation expense for awards with performance conditions is accrued over the service period when that the performance criteria are reasonably certain to be achieved. Compensation cost for an award with a market condition will be recognized ratably for each vesting tranche over the requisite service period in a similar manner as an award with a service condition.

We recognize that stock options and other stock-based incentive awards dilute existing shareholders and have attempted to control the number granted while remaining competitive with our compensation packages. Accordingly, from 2003 to 2005 we reduced our gross stock option grant rate, which contributed to a low net grant rate under our stock-based incentive plans during that time. In 2006 the gross grant rate increased for a number of reasons including issuing employee equity pursuant to two acquisitions and hiring a key executive. The equity plan overhang also increased as a result of assuming the equity plan of one acquired company. In 2007 and 2008, we returned to our practice from 2003 to 2005 of reducing our gross stock option grant rate and keeping a low net grant rate. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the granting of all stock-based incentive awards.

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

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

 

40


Table of Contents

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

In 2008, compensation expense of $2.5 million was recognized for stock options, RSUs and SARs. Total remaining compensation estimated to be recognized over the remaining service periods for these awards is $1.8 million. This compensation cost included estimation of expected forfeitures. Forfeiture estimations are based on analysis of historical forfeiture rates.

Accordingly, stock based compensation will continue to have a significant impact on our results of operations depending on levels of stock-based awards granted in the future. In general, the annual stock-based compensation expense is expected to decline in future years when compared to the expense reported in prior years, since we plan to reduce our gross stock based award grants. This decline is primarily the result of a change in stock-based compensation strategy as determined by management.

Total revenues in 2008 were $99.7 million, which remained unchanged from total revenues in 2007, which in turn, represented a 5% increase from the $95.2 million of total revenues in 2006. Total revenues derived from North America of $64.4 million in 2008 represented a decrease of 10% from the $71.3 million in 2007, which in turn, represented an 8% increase from the $66.3 million in 2006. Total revenues derived from outside of North America of $35.3 million in 2008 represented an increase of 24% from the $28.4 million in 2007, which in turn, represented a 2% decrease from the $28.9 million in 2006.

Total revenues remained flat when compared to 2007. Product revenues improved by $1.9 million or 5% in 2008, mainly due to continued growth in our product based subscription businesses, in particular our SSL business, which was up 32% in 2008. Also, revenues from our on-line fraud detection and risk based authentication solutions was up 71% in 2008 when compared to 2007. However, the improvement in product revenues was offset by reduced services revenues, which decreased by $1.9 million or 3% from 2007. Extended government revenues in the United States were $17.7 million for 2008, representing a 9% decrease from $19.5 million in 2007. Overall, our subscription based product and services revenues has grown in 2008, accounting for 53% of total revenues, including support and maintenance revenues, up from 51% in 2007, an increase of 6%. The level of non-North American revenues has fluctuated from period to period and this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

The increase in total revenues during 2007 compared to 2006, was driven primarily by our services revenue which increased by $3.6 million or 6% from 2006. Also, product revenue improved 3% in 2007, mainly due to the resurgence in PKI revenues, which increased 11% from 2006 and represented 70% of total product revenues in 2007. This growth was shared across all major geographic segments in both services and product. Also, the overall increase for 2007 compared to 2006 was in part due to the extended government market. Extended government revenues in the United States were $19.5 million for 2007, representing a 13% increase from $17.2 million in 2006.

The United States government represented 14%, 15% and 15% of total revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, when including revenues sold through resellers to the government end users. However, direct sales to the United States government represented only 8%, 10% and 10% of total revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Canadian government represented 8%, 9% and 10% of total revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, when including revenues sold through resellers to the government end users. However, direct sales to the Canadian government represented only 5%, 7% and 9% of total revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No other individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Product revenues of $38.3 million in 2008 represented an increase of 5% from the $36.4 million in 2007, which in turn, represented an increase of 3% from the $35.5 million in 2006. These revenues represented 38%, 36% and 37% of total revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The growth of product revenues in 2008 when compared to 2007 was primarily driven by demand for our emerging growth products, which grew 38% in 2008, representing 30% of product revenues in 2008, compared to 23% in 2007, and our SSL certificate business. In particular, demand for our fraud and risk based authentication offerings was the strongest, representing $9.3 million for 2008, with combined increase in

revenues of 71% compared to last year. However, revenue from our PKI products, representing 67% of product revenues in 2008, compared to 71% for last year, was essentially flat compared to 2007. While our Entrust certificate services (SSL certificates) portion of our PKI business increased 32% to $9.6 million of revenue in 2008, compared to 2007, this growth was more than offset by the planned decrease in reliance on sales of the full disk products that we resell from Checkpoint; the shift from perpetual license purchases to our subscription based managed service offering; and lower government customer purchases. We experienced a decrease in our government solutions in 2008, with $11.7 million of product revenues from extended government organizations, compared to $12.4 million for 2007, a decrease of 6%.

The increase in product revenues for 2007, when compared to 2006, was due to growth in our PKI product category. In particular, our PKI revenue, which represented 70% of product revenues in 2007, increased 11% over last year. The key drivers of PKI growth have been the growth of our SSL certificate business which was up 32% from 2006, while our core PKI product revenue was up 44% over last year. We experienced improved interest in our government solutions in 2007, with $12.4 million of product revenues from Extended Government organizations during 2007, compared to $11.4 million for 2006, an increase of 9%.

We had 512 product revenue transactions (a product revenue transaction is defined as an IdentityGuard product sale of any size plus all other product sales in excess of $10 thousand) in 2008, up from 472 in 2007, or an 8% increase, which in turn was up from 324 product revenue transactions in 2006, or an increase of 46%. This included 166 new customers in 2008, which represented a 25% and 105% increase from 2007 and 2006, respectively. However, the average product revenue transaction size decreased from $57 thousand in 2007 to $52 thousand in 2008, or a decrease of 9%, after the average product revenue transaction size decreased from $89 thousand in 2006. This downward trend in transaction size is due to a shift in our product mix toward our lower cost emerging growth products. However, growth in deals under $500 thousand is fueling our overall top line product revenue growth in 2008 and 2007 compared to respective prior years. Revenue from deals under $500 thousand increased 9% over 2007, after increasing 21% from 2006 to 2007, and is continuing to drive our strategy of being less reliant on large deals. These transactions accounted for 92% of product revenues in 2008, compared to 89% in 2007 and 76% in 2006, which we believe speaks well to the underlying strength of our portfolio and the balance we are starting to see in product revenue performance. Further, there were no product deals greater than $1 million in 2008, compared to two in 2007 and three in 2006. We would expect transaction levels to remain high going forward and the trend of lower average deal size to continue in the coming quarters. In general, the top-five average quarterly product revenue transactions as a percentage of total revenues declined from 14% in 2006 to 9% and 10% in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The combination of customer buying patterns, generally smaller-sized IdentityGuard transactions and increased subscription business gives us a more predictable revenue base. This is consistent with our expectations, due to the increased volume of product transactions and lower reliance on deals greater than $1 million.

The decrease in services and maintenance revenues in 2008, compared to 2007, is due to lower professional services revenues primarily in the North American market, as a result of customers’ budget constraints and the shift in our product mix to products generally requiring less intensive professional service work, despite the fact that our subscription-based support and maintenance revenues increased 1% in 2008 compared to 2007. Our customers continued to renew their support agreements at a rate of over 96% for 2008 on a dollar value renewal basis, compared to 95% in 2007. Services and maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues for 2008 decreased due to the combined effect of lower services and maintenance revenues and higher demand for our product offerings compared to 2007.

The increase in services and maintenance revenues for 2007 compared to 2006 was due mainly to improved support and maintenance revenues, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of our services revenue in 2007. In addition, our professional services business was strong across the board geographically, while our customers continued to renew their support agreements at a rate of 95% for 2007. Services and maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues for 2007 increased slightly in comparison to 2006 primarily because of the overall stronger demand for services and maintenance, despite improved revenues from our product offerings.

Total expenses consist of costs of revenues associated with products and services and maintenance, amortization of purchased products rights and operating expenses associated with sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, restructuring charges and adjustments and impairment of a long-term asset. Total expenses of $100.8 million in 2008 represented a decrease of 5% from $106.6 million in 2007. The overall decrease in spending for 2008, when compared to 2007, was primarily due to the effect of a 10% decrease in our overall headcount year over year, as we continue to manage our headcount resources and discretionary spending carefully, and a reduction in stock based compensation expenses of $2.5 million. This expense decrease was partly offset by an impairment of a long-term asset recorded during 2008 and higher product cost of sales when compared to 2007. The shift in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies did not significantly impact expenses for 2008 on a full-year basis when compared to 2007. As of December 31, 2008, we had 411 full-time employees globally, compared to 455 full-time employees at December 31, 2007.

The decrease from 2006 to 2007 was due primarily to an overall headcount reduction of 10% combined with lower costs associated with marketing programs, and higher reported expenses in 2006 as a result of a $2.8 million restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2006 related to the sublease on our Santa Clara, California facility, offset by the impact of additional costs associated with employee compensation, primarily in sales and research and development, as a result of the acquisitions completed midway through 2006, increased non-cash expenses for stock based compensation and amortization of purchased intangibles, and an unfavorable shift in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies of $3.5 million for the year. As of December 31, 2007, we had 455 full-time employees globally, compared to 503 full-time employees at December 31, 2006.

Percentage of product revenues

     22 %     21 %     21 %    

Cost of product revenues consists primarily of costs associated with our SSL and managed PKI businesses, product media, documentation, packaging and royalties to third-party software vendors. Cost of product revenues was $8.5 million in 2008, $7.8 million in 2007 and $7.6 million in 2006, representing 22%, 21% and 21% of product revenues for the respective years.

The increase in the cost of product revenues in absolute dollars of 9% and as a percentage of total product revenues from 2007 to 2008 is primarily attributable to investment in staffing and resources for our SSL certificate business of $1.1 million and costs associated with sales of our IdentityGuard token product that was introduced subsequent to the first quarter of 2007 of $0.9 million, partly offset by lower third-party software royalties. The mix of third-party products and the relative gross margins achieved with respect to these products may vary from period to period and from transaction to transaction and, consequently, our gross margins and results of operations could be adversely affected. We expect that these trends will continue in the immediate future.

The increase in the cost of product revenues in absolute dollars of 3% from 2006 to 2007 reflected the net effect of increased investment in additional staffing for our SSL and managed PKI businesses and higher amortization of capitalized software development costs, offset by a shift in overall product sales mix away from products that incorporate third party technologies relative to the prior year. Also, the shift in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies resulted in increased reported expenses of $0.3 million for 2007 when compared to 2006.

The decrease in the cost of services and maintenance revenues in 2008, compared to 2007, was mainly attributable to decreased staff related costs and outside professional services contractors. Overall headcount decreased 4%, while stock based compensation expense fell $0.3 million compared to 2007. Outside professional services purchased externally decreased as we made a concerted effort to rebalance the work performed by our staff and work performed by subcontractors, improving utilization of internal resources. These savings were partly offset by higher hardware and related support costs of $0.4 million and a shift in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies that resulted in higher reported expenses of $0.1 million for 2008, compared to 2007. The decrease in services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues in 2008, compared to the prior year, was primarily the result of lower overall spending, which accounted for the one-percentage point decrease in the services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues.

The increase in the cost of services and maintenance revenues in absolute dollars for 2007 when compared to 2006 can be attributed primarily to staff related costs and increased third party hardware expenses. The higher staff related costs for 2007 was due in large part to increased stock based compensation expenses and the unfavorable shift in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, which resulted in higher reported expenses of $0.9 million for 2007 when compared to 2006, the majority of which related to staffing costs. The average number of employees on our services and maintenance teams had been static from 2006 to 2007, despite the resources added as a result of the acquisition of Orion in June 2006 and Business Signatures in July 2006. Services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 2006 and 2007, which was the net result of higher total revenues, which accounted for a two-percentage point decrease, when compared to 2006, offset by increased overall services and maintenance expenses, which resulted in a one-percentage point increase in the services and maintenance expenses as a percentage of total revenues.

Services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues was 52% for 2008, 52% for 2007 and 51% for 2006. Services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues in 2008 remained static compared to 2007, which was the net result of higher support and maintenance margins of 1% offset by a decline in professional services margins of a proportionate amount for 2008. The improvement in services and maintenance gross profit as a percentage of services and maintenance revenues in 2007, compared to 2006, was primarily due to higher support and maintenance margins of 2%, offset by a slight decline in overall professional services margins.

We plan to continue to optimize the utilization of existing professional services resources, while addressing incremental customer opportunities that may arise with the help of partners and other sub-contractors, until an investment in additional full-time resources is justifiable. This plan may have an adverse impact on the gross profit for services and maintenance, as the gross profit realized by using partners and sub-contractors is generally lower. The mix and volume of services and maintenance revenues may vary from period to period and from transaction to transaction, which will also affect our gross margins and results of operations.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for 2008, when compared to 2007, was primarily due to lower staff related costs as a result of lower headcount, reduced spending on outside marketing programs and facilities in 2008, partly offset by increased spending on outside sales contractors. Sales and marketing headcount decreased 13% overall when compared to the prior year, resulting in decreased compensation and travel expenses for 2008, when compared to 2007, while stock based compensation expenses were lower by $0.7 million in 2008. Also, bad debt expense was lower in 2008, when compared to 2007. In addition, the shift in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies resulted in lower reported sales and marketing expenses of $0.2 million in 2008 when compared to 2007, the majority of which was related to staffing costs. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues for 2008, compared to 2007, reflects the lower spending in this area during 2008, which resulted in the three-percentage point decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the year when compared to 2007.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses for 2007 when compared to 2006 was primarily due to higher staff related costs and purchased intangibles amortization associated with the Business Signatures acquisition and investments made to grow the sales force to ensure we could handle the increased transaction load going forward. Sales and marketing headcount increased 6% on average year-over-year when compared to the previous year, resulting in increased salaries and benefits expense, including sales commissions, and increased facilities costs. Offsetting these increases were reductions in bad debt expense and marketing programs spending for 2007. In addition, we had experienced an unfavorable shift in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, which resulted in higher reported sales and marketing expenses of $1.2 million in 2007 when compared to 2006. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues for 2007, compared to 2006, was the net result of higher overall expenses, resulting in a one-percentage point increase for 2007, offset by a two-percentage point decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues due to higher total revenues when compared to 2006.

We intend to continue to focus on improving the productivity of the sales and marketing teams. As required, we will add additional sales coverage, which should allow us to better execute on any opportunities we see in both the United States and abroad. We will continue to focus on our channels, with a view to providing the executive team time to focus on strategically growing the business. However, when necessary we will make significant investments in sales and marketing to support the launch of any new products, services and marketing programs by maintaining our strategy of (a) investing in hiring and training our sales force in anticipation of future market growth, and (b) investing in marketing efforts in support of new product launches. We believe it is necessary to invest in marketing programs that will improve the awareness and understanding of information security governance, and we will continue to invest in marketing toward that goal. Failure to make such investments could have a significant adverse effect on our operations. While we are focused on marketing programs and revenue-generating opportunities to increase software revenues, there can be no assurances that these initiatives will be successful.

During 2008, the provision for doubtful accounts dropped $1.2 million to $0.8 million, primarily due to the write-off of a large customer balance in Europe. In 2007, the provision for doubtful accounts increased approximately $500 thousand to $2.0 million, of which $200 thousand related to changes in the exchange rates,

with the remainder of the increase due to the aging of customer accounts. During 2006, the provision for doubtful accounts increased by $1.0 million due primarily to a provision recorded related to accounts receivable balances with one of our European distributors. Generally, we experienced effective cash collections throughout 2008, 2007 and 2006.

The decrease in research and development expenses for 2008, when compared to 2007 was primarily due to lower outside professional services and staff related costs. We have successfully reduced external research and development contractor resources associated with the Business Signatures acquisition, thus reducing our outside professional services expenses for 2008, when compared to 2007. In addition, our internal research and development headcount decreased 14% year over year from the prior year, while stock based compensation expense in this area decreased $0.6 million. Partly offsetting these savings, we experienced a shift in exchange rates between Canada and the U.S. that resulted in higher reported costs of $0.1 million for 2008, compared to 2007. The decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues for 2008, compared to 2007, reflects the lower spending, which resulted in the three-percentage point decrease for 2008.

The increase in research and development expenses for 2007 when compared to 2006 was primarily due to higher staff related costs as a result of the unfavorable shift in the exchange rates between Canada and the U.S. that resulted in higher reported costs of $0.8 million for 2007 when compared to 2006, since the majority of these research and development expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars, as well as increased stock based compensation expense. However, these increases were partly offset by reductions in research and development headcount of 6% on average year-over-year compared to 2006. The decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues for 2007, compared to 2006, reflected the higher revenues in 2007, which resulted in the one-percentage point decrease in 2007 compared to the prior year.

We believe that we must continue to maintain our investment in research and development in order to protect our technological leadership position, software quality and security assurance leadership. We therefore expect that research and development expenses may have to increase in the future.

The decrease in staff-related costs in absolute dollars in 2008 compared to 2007 was a result of continued management discipline in this area, with a net savings of $0.8 million, primarily due to an 11% decline in headcount compared to the prior year and a reduction in stock based compensation expense of $0.8 million in 2008. Offsetting this decrease in staff related spending was increased spending on outside professional services in 2008, when compared to the 2007. The shift in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies did not impact reported expenses in 2008, when compared to 2007. We believe that the increases in outside professional services expenses were non-recurring in nature and expect that these costs will eventually return to historical levels in future periods. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased in 2008 compared to 2007, due to lower spending in this area, which accounted for the one-percentage point decrease.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars in 2007 compared to 2006 was due to the effect of continued management discipline in this area, with net savings of $1.8 million, primarily as a result of headcount reductions, which declined 19% on average year-over-year, and reduced use of outside professional firms. These decreases were partly offset by the unfavorable shift we had experienced in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, which resulted in higher reported general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million in 2007 when compared to 2006. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased for 2007 compared to 2006, due mainly to the decrease in recorded expenses, which accounted for a one-percentage point decrease. This effect was magnified by a one-percentage point decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues due to higher total revenues in 2007 when compared to 2006.

We continue to explore opportunities to gain additional efficiencies in our administrative processes and to contain expenses in these functional areas.

Amortization of Purchased Product Rights and Other Purchased Intangibles

Amortization of purchased product rights was $916 thousand for 2008, compared to $1.4 million and $1.1 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively. These costs are related to the developed technology purchased in connection with the acquisitions of Business Signatures in 2006, as well as the acquisition of certain business assets from AmikaNow! during 2004. This expense was recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

Table of Contents

Amortization of other purchased intangibles totaled $998 thousand in 2008, compared to $1.0 million for 2007 and $569 thousand for 2006. These costs are related to the customer/partner relationships and non-competition agreement assets purchased in connection with the acquisitions of Orion and Business Signatures in 2006, as well as the acquisition of certain business assets from AmikaNow! during 2004. Of this expense, $844 thousand, $877 thousand and $479 thousand was recorded as a component of sales and marketing expenses for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, while $154 thousand, $153 thousand and $90 thousand was recorded as a component of cost of services and maintenance revenues for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Impairment of Long-term Asset

During the third quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment of $1.5 million in the book value of capitalized software development costs related to our video based training, originally developed for both general security and Entrust specific solutions, for sale to our customers.

Restructuring Charges and Adjustments

During 2006, we made adjustments to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to our Santa Clara, California facility. The previous sublease with our subtenant was scheduled to end in December 2006. Although we had been monitoring the sublet market on an on-going basis, we had received an extension offer and had begun preparations for placing the facility on the market. These events caused us to revisit our estimated sublease recoveries at that time. We concluded that we needed to increase the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to our June 2001 restructuring plan by a further $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to reflect a change in our projected sublet lease recoveries as evidenced by the market for leased facilities in that region. Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2006, we made a further adjustment to decrease the restructuring charges that we had previously recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to our Santa Clara, California facility by $130 thousand, to reflect the fact that the building sublease was extended with the current subtenant to March 31, 2011 and the corresponding expected sublet lease recoveries. These adjustments were charged to the restructuring charges line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in 2006.

During 2008, we adjusted our restructuring accrual related to the May 2003 restructuring plan down by $80 thousand with respect to end-of-lease restoration costs accrued for our Addison, Texas facility.

Write-down of Long-term Strategic and Equity Investments

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

Interest Income

Interest income was $371 thousand in 2008, compared to $688 thousand and $2.2 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing less than 1%, 1% and 2% of total revenues in the respective years. The decrease in investment income in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily due to the reduced rate of return on our funds invested in cash equivalents, as the interest rates available in 2008 decreased compared to the prior year. The decrease in investment income for 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to the funds invested in the acquisition of Orion, Business Signatures and stock repurchases in 2006. In addition, the reduced balance of funds invested was a result of amounts drawn down to fund cash flow from operations and to acquire long-lived assets during 2007. The funds invested increased to $24.3 million at December 31, 2008 from $20.5 million at December 31, 2007 and $22.5 million at December 31, 2006. However, the average rate of return on our invested cash declined to less than 2% compared to approximately 5% for 2007 and 2006.

Gain on Sale of Strategic Long-term Investments

We recorded a gain on the sale of certain strategic long-term investments, in which we had a less than 10% ownership, during 2008 and 2007 in the amount of $18 thousand and $793 thousand, respectively. This type of sale is not expected to be a recurring event.

Loss from Equity Investments

We recorded $77 thousand and $445 thousand of losses, net of intercompany profit eliminations, related to our investments in Asia Digital Media in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The carrying value of this investment was zero as at December 31, 2007, and therefore, no further losses were recorded in 2008. We began accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting in the fourth quarter of 2004, since we had the potential to significantly influence its operations and management.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $462 thousand in 2008, compared to $308 thousand in 2007 and $284 thousand in 2006. These provisions represented primarily the taxes payable in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no U.S. benefit is expected. The increase in 2008 over the prior year was due in large part to an ongoing examination of a subsidiary’s income tax filings in the United Kingdom. The effective income tax rates differed from statutory rates primarily due to the impairment of long-term strategic investments and long-term assets, stock option expenses, purchased product rights, restructuring charges, foreign research and development tax credits, as well as an adjustment of the valuation allowance that has offset the tax benefits from the significant net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards available.

QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our quarterly operating results have varied substantially in the past and are likely to vary substantially from quarter to quarter in the future due to a variety of factors. In particular, our period-to-period operating results are significantly dependent upon the completion date of large license agreements. In this regard, the purchase of our products often requires a significant capital investment, which customers may view as a discretionary cost and, therefore, a purchase that can be deferred or canceled due to budgetary or other business reasons. Estimating future revenues is also difficult because we ship our products soon after an order is received and, therefore, we do not have a significant backlog. Thus, quarterly license revenues are heavily dependent upon orders received and shipped within the same quarter. Moreover, we have generally recorded a significant portion of our total quarterly revenues in the third month of a quarter, with a concentration of these revenues in the last half of that third month. This concentration of revenues is influenced by customer tendencies to make significant capital expenditures at the end of a fiscal quarter. We expect these revenue patterns to continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, quarterly license revenues are dependent on the timing of revenue recognition, which can be affected by many factors, including the timing of customer installations and acceptance. In these regards, we have from time to time experienced delays in recognizing revenues with respect to certain orders. In any period a significant portion of our revenue may be derived from large sales to a limited number of customers. Despite the uncertainties in our revenue patterns, our operating expenses are based upon anticipated revenue levels and such expenses are incurred on an approximately ratable basis throughout the quarter. As a result, if expected revenues are delayed or otherwise not realized in a quarter for any reason, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected in a significant way.

The following tables set forth certain unaudited consolidated quarterly statement of operations data for the eight quarters in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008, as well as such data expressed as a percentage of our total revenues for the periods indicated. These data have been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements that, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such information when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.

As a result of an impairment of a long-term asset recorded in the amount of $1.5 million in the book value of capitalized software development costs related to our video based training during the third quarter of 2008, our operating expenses and net loss were higher in that quarter than in the prior quarters of 2008 and, as a result, the trend of declining expenses and increasing earnings during 2008 was impacted. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generated $6.4 million of cash in operating activities during 2008. This cash inflow was primarily a result of a net income after adjusting for non-cash charges of $7.4 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.1 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other receivables of $1.3 million and a decrease in deferred revenue of $0.9 million, partially offset by cash outflows resulting from a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.6 million, and a decrease in accrued restructuring charges of $5.7 million. The reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was the result of the pay down of accruals related to the timing of accruals related to employee compensation. Our average days sales outstanding at December 31, 2008 was 67 days, which represents a slight improvement from the 70 days that we reported at December 31, 2007. The overall decrease in days sales outstanding from December 31, 2007 was mainly due to higher in-quarter collections due to improved sales linearity compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, partly offset by a decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from the previous year. For purposes of calculating average days sales outstanding, we divide ending accounts receivable by the applicable quarter’s revenues and multiply this amount by 90 days. The level of accounts receivable at each quarter end is affected by the concentration of revenues in the final weeks of each quarter and may be negatively affected by expanded international revenues in relation to total revenues as licenses to international customers often have longer payment terms.

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

During 2008, we used $0.9 million of cash related to investing activities, primarily related the investment of $0.9 million in property and equipment, largely for computer hardware upgrades throughout our organization and $0.6 million in other long-term assets related to capitalized costs associated with subletting space in our Canadian facility, partially offset by $0.6 million of cash provided by long-term deposits received from our subtenant in our Canadian facility.

As of December 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $24.3 million provide our principal sources of liquidity. Overall, we generated $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents during 2008, despite the expenditure of $5.7 million to satisfy obligations under our restructuring accruals during the year. Although we continue to target operating profitability, based on sustainable revenue and operating expense structures, we estimate that we may need to use cash in fiscal 2009 to satisfy the obligations provided for under our restructuring program. However, if operating losses continue to occur, then cash and cash equivalents will be negatively affected.

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

In terms of long-term liquidity requirements, we will need to fund the $13.6 million of accrued restructuring charges at December 31, 2008 through fiscal 2011. This amount is net of expected sublet recoveries on restructured facilities of $2.8 million. The gross operating lease obligations for these restructured facilities are detailed in the table of contractual commitments below. In addition, we expect to spend approximately $2.0 million per year on capital expenditures, primarily for computer equipment needed to replace existing equipment that is coming to the end of its useful life, a significant portion of which are expected to be procured under operating leases.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as well as future operating cash flows, will be sufficient to fund these long-term requirements. In addition, we have a $5.0 million operating line of credit with our host bank, which is currently not utilized, that is available for short-term cash flow needs.

Other commitments include financing arrangements entered into for the purpose of funding annual insurance premiums, with a remaining balance as of December 31, 2008 of $420 thousand, to be paid during fiscal 2009.

The 2008 Entrust Deferred Retention Bonus Plan (the “2008 Deferred Plan”) was adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on February 19, 2008. The primary objective of the 2008 Deferred Plan is to attract and retain valued employees by remunerating selected executives and other key employees with cash awards based on the contribution of the individual employee. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine which employees are eligible to receive awards under the plan and shall grant awards in such amounts and on such terms as it shall determine. Subject to limited exceptions, an employee’s award under the plan shall vest in one-seventh of the amount of the award over the seven calendar quarters commencing on January 1, 2008, provided that the employee continues to be employed by us on each of such dates. During the first quarter of 2008, we granted awards to employees under the plan that potentially could result in payments of $1.5 million over the subsequent seven quarters, assuming that all employees receiving the awards remain employed with us for the entire seven quarter vesting period of the awards. Further, the Compensation Committee approved additional awards under this plan, which were granted in November 2008. These awards could potentially result in additional payments totaling $548 thousand over the five subsequent quarters, assuming that all employees receiving awards remain employed with us for the entire vesting period of the awards. It was estimated that, as of March 10, 2009, $0.9 million was remaining to be paid out under this plan, while an additional $0.3 million was accrued at December 31, 2008 and paid during January 2009.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standard indemnification agreements with our business partners and customers. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to modify, repair or replace the product, pay royalties for a right to use, defend and reimburse the indemnified party for actual damages awarded by a court against the indemnified party for an intellectual property infringement claim by a third party with respect to our products and services, and indemnify for property damage that may be caused in connection with consulting services performed at a customer site by our employees or our subcontractors. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have general and umbrella insurance policies that generally enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid.

We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2008.

We generally warrant for ninety days from delivery to a customer that our products will perform free from material errors that prevent performance in accordance with user documentation. Additionally, we warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards including other warranties. We have only incurred nominal expense under our product or service warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of our obligations under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2008.

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

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows will depend on the terms and timing of future acquisitions, if any.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51,” which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retroactively. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS No. 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We currently do not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on the disclosures already provided.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, our management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Associated with Interest Rates

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

The fair value of investments classified as cash equivalents and entered into for purposes other than trading purposes that we held at December 31, 2008 and 2007 of $4.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively, which would have been subject to interest rate risk, approximated amortized cost at those dates.

We try to manage this risk by maintaining our cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments with high quality financial institutions and investment managers. As a result, we believe that our exposure to market risk related to interest rates is minimal. Our financial instrument holdings at year-end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined by net present values. In this sensitivity analysis, we used the same change in interest rate for all maturities. All other factors were held constant. If there were an adverse change in interest rates of 10%, the expected effect on net income related to our financial instruments would be less than $50 thousand.

Risk Associated with Exchange Rates

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

Historically, we have not engaged in formal hedging activities, but we do periodically review the potential impact of foreign exchange risk to ensure that the risk of significant potential losses is minimized. However, as a significant portion of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, overall our reported expense base was not significantly affected in 2008, when compared to 2007, due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States and Canadian dollars. Taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on reported Canadian revenues, the net effect on reported earnings was an unfavorable $0.1 million for 2008, when compared to 2007.

In the past, when perceived by management to be advantageous, we have engaged in forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars to cover exposures on Canadian subsidiary’s expenses that are denominated in Canadian dollars, in an attempt to reduce earnings volatility that might result from fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we engaged in forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars, covering exposures on approximately $3.0 million of our Canadian subsidiary’s expenses denominated in Canadian dollars. None of these contracts extended past December 31, 2008 and no previously purchased foreign exchange contracts had extended past September 30, 2008. We currently have not engaged in any forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars to cover exposures on expenses denominated in Canadian dollars in the first quarter of 2009 or future periods beyond the first quarter of 2009.

(2) In addition to being available for future issuance upon exercise of options that may be granted after December 31, 2008, 362,040 shares under the Entrust, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), may instead be issued in the form of restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards, including shares based upon certain conditions, securities convertible into Common Stock and stock appreciation rights.

On August 1, 2003 the Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was discontinued. Prior to such termination 173,891 shares were issued under such plan in 2003.

On March 15, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions, subject to stockholder approval, to approve entry into the Entrust, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company on May 5, 2006, resulting in the termination of the Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the enCommerce, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 1999 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (together, the “Prior Plans”), with no further grants being permitted under the Prior Plans, provided that, this termination of the Prior Plans will not affect awards that are outstanding under the Prior Plans.

As part of the acquisition of Business Signatures, the Company assumed the obligations of Business Signatures under its 2002 Stock Plan (“BSC 2002 Plan”). Under this plan, the Company assumed options to purchase 1,792,092 shares of Business Signature common stock in exchange for options to purchase 1,150,590 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the exceptions described below, these options will generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Under the BSC 2002 Plan, incentive options may only be granted to employees at an exercise price of no less than the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory options may be granted at an exercise price of no less than 85% of the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. For owners of more than 10% of the common stock, incentive options may only be granted for an exercise price of no less than 110% of the fair value of our common stock and these options generally expire five years from date of grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable at a rate of 25% on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencing date, which may precede the grant date, and 1/48th per month thereafter.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of Entrust, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As of the end of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 is effective.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on page F-2.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and

Shareholders Entrust, Inc.

We have audited Entrust, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Entrust, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Entrust’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In our opinion, Entrust, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Entrust, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, and our report dated March 10, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and

Shareholders Entrust, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entrust, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Entrust, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Entrust, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 10, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

 

1. Company Background

Entrust, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a global provider of products that secure digital identities and information. Over 2,000 enterprises and government agencies in more than 60 countries use Entrust solutions to help secure the digital lives of their citizens, customers, employees and partners. The Company’s software and services can help customers achieve regulatory and corporate compliance, while helping to turn security challenges such as identity theft and e-mail security into business opportunities, through the use of SSL, authentication, fraud detection, shared data protection and e-mail security.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Entrust Limited in Canada, Entrust (Europe) Limited and enCommerce Limited in the U.K., Entrust GmbH in Germany, Entrust Technologies (Switzerland) GmbH in Switzerland, CygnaCom Solutions, Inc. (“CygnaCom”), enCommerce, Inc. (“enCommerce”), Orion Security Solutions, Inc. (“Orion”) and Business Signatures Corporation (“Business Signatures”) in the U.S. and its majority-owned subsidiary, Entrust Japan Co., Ltd. (“Entrust Japan”) in Japan. All intercompany transactions, profits and accounts are eliminated upon consolidation. Orion and Business Signatures were acquired during 2006 and, therefore, the results of operations of these businesses have been consolidated since the respective dates of acquisition.

 

  (b) Translation of Foreign Currencies

The accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses and cash flow amounts are translated at average rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income.

The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk in the form of exposures to changes in currency exchange rates between the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Japan. However, the Company transacts a large number of its international sales in U.S. dollars, except for Canada where the Company has both significant costs and revenues, which the Company believes mitigates the potential impact of currency fluctuations. Management periodically reviews the potential financial impact of foreign currency risk and the Company will use derivative financial instruments to reduce foreign currency exposures when it believes that the Company is subject to significant potential losses. The Company does not use derivative financial products for speculative purposes. There were no foreign currency instruments in place at December 31, 2008. The Company does not designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedges under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging.” Accordingly, the changes in fair value of these undesignated freestanding foreign currency derivative instruments are recorded in other income (expense) in the period of change.

 

  (c) Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from licensing the rights to its software products to end-users and, to a lesser extent, from sublicense fees from resellers. The Company also generates revenues from consulting, training and post-contract support, or maintenance, performed for customers who license its products. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public

Accountants’ Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” SOP No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions”, EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, EITF 03-5, “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software” and related accounting guidance and pronouncements. The Company presents revenues net of sales tax and other sales related taxes.

Revenues from perpetual software license agreements are recognized as revenue upon receipt of an executed license agreement, or an unconditional order under an existing license agreement, and shipment of the software, if there are no significant remaining vendor obligations, collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, the fees are fixed and determinable and payment is due within twelve months. Revenues from license agreements requiring the delivery of significant unspecified software products in the future are accounted for as subscriptions and, accordingly, are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement from the first instance of product delivery. This policy is applicable to all sales transactions, including sales to resellers and end user customers. The Company is notified of a sale by a reseller to the end user customer in the same period that the product is delivered through to the end user customer. The Company does not offer a right of return on sales of its software products.

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

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

For arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates revenue to each component based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the various elements. These elements may include two or more of the following: software licenses, maintenance and support, consulting services and training. For arrangements where vendor-specific objective evidence is not available for a delivered element, the Company first allocates the arrangement fee to the undelivered elements based on the total fair value of those undelivered elements, as indicated by vendor-specific objective evidence. This portion of the arrangement fee is deferred. Then the difference (residual) between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. The Company attributes the discount offered in a multiple-element arrangement entirely to the delivered elements of the transaction, which are typically software licenses. Fair values for the future maintenance and support services are based upon substantially similar sales of renewals of maintenance and support contracts to other customers. Fair value of future services, training or consulting services is based upon substantially similar sales of these services to other customers. In some instances, a group of contracts or agreements with the same customer may be so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single multiple element arrangement, and therefore, the Company would allocate the corresponding revenues among the various components, as described above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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

 

Revenues from maintenance services are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically one year. If maintenance services are included free of charge or discounted in a license agreement, such amounts are unbundled from the license fee at their fair market value based upon the value established by independent sales of such maintenance services to other customers. Revenues from the sale of Web server certificates are also recognized ratably over the term of the certificate, which is typically one to two years.

Consulting and training revenues are generally recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services are typically performed under separate service agreements and are usually performed on a time and materials basis. Such services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation and deployment of the Company’s products and do not include significant customization or development of the underlying software code. These services are not essential to the functionality of the underlying software licensed to the customer.

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method to account for fixed price custom development contracts. Under this method, the Company recognizes revenue and profit as the work on the contract progresses. Revenues are recognized by applying the percentage of the total cost incurred to date divided by the total estimated contract cost to the total contract value, and any projected loss is recognized immediately. The total project cost estimates are reviewed on a regular basis. There were no significant fixed price custom development contracts in progress at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company also uses percentage-of-completion method to account for certain firm price consulting contracts.

 

  (d) Cost of Revenues

Cost of product includes the cost of product media, product packaging, documentation, other production costs, third-party royalties, costs related to the sale of Web server certificates and amortization of capitalized software development costs.

Cost of services and maintenance consists primarily of salaries, benefits and allocated overhead costs related to consulting, training and customer support personnel, as well as amounts paid to third-party consulting firms for those services.

Amortization of purchased product rights related to developed technology acquired from AmikaNow! Corporation (“AmikaNow!”) and Business Signatures is included as a component of cost of revenues.

 

  (e) Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has defined attainment of technological feasibility as completion of a working model. The period of time beginning with the establishment of a working model and ending when a product is offered for sale is typically very short. Accordingly, costs eligible for capitalization have been insignificant. To date, the Company has not capitalized any internal software development costs but has capitalized certain costs of software development by third-party contractors.

 

  (f) Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards. Under SFAS 123(R) the Company measures the fair value of awards of equity instruments and recognize the cost, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the period during which services are provided in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period.

Table of Contents

ENTRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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

 

Calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the awards and expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. Expected volatility is a statistical measure of the amount by which a stock price is expected to fluctuate during a period. The Company’s estimates of expected volatilities are based on a weighted historical and market-based implied volatility. In order to determine the expected life of the awards, the Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior, such as directors or executives, are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected forfeiture rate applied in calculating stock-based compensation cost is estimated using historical data.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards involve estimates that require management judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, the stock-based compensation expense could change significantly in the future. In addition, if the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is different from its estimate, the stock-based compensation could change significantly in the future. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on stock-based compensation.

 

  (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Operating Facility

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, is $12,721 and $8,091, respectively, of balances maintained in foreign bank accounts.

The Company maintains an operating credit facility with its host financial institution with available credit up to $5,000 for overdraft protection purposes. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not drawn from this credit facility.

 

  (h) Marketable and Other Investments

The Company did not hold any short term marketable investments as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The Company holds equity securities stated at cost, which represent long-term investments in private companies made in 2000 and 2001 for business and strategic alliance purposes. The Company’s ownership share in these companies ranges from 1% to 10% of the outstanding voting share capital. The Company monitors and assesses the ongoing operating performance of the underlying companies for evidence of impairment. Since 2001, the Company has recorded impairments totaling $14,007, net of recoveries, with respect to these investments as a result of other than temporary declines in fair value. The strategic investments made in 2000 and 2001 had no net remaining carrying value at December 31, 2008 and 2007. During 2007, the Company sold its ownership interests in two of these strategic investments, in separate sales, for aggregate proceeds of $793. In addition, the Company holds an investment recorded at cost in ADML Holdings, Ltd., and its affiliate, Ohana Wireless, Inc. (collectively, “Ohana”). In 2007, Ohana was acquired by MediaG3, Inc. (“MediaG3”). At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s investment represented approximately 3% of the outstanding voting share capital of MediaG3. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in Ohana at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $46 and $91, respectively. See note 7 for additional discussion.

The Company also holds an equity interest in Asia Digital Media Limited (“Asia Digital Media”), which at December 31, 2008 and 2007 represented approximately 44% of the voting share capital of this company. This investment is accounted for by the Company using the equity method of accounting for investments in common stock. There was no remaining carrying value of the Company’s investment in Asia Digital Media at December 31, 2008 and 2007. See note 8 for additional discussion.

The Company recorded no revenues from Asia Digital Media in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

The Company did not generate any sales with any other companies in which it has made strategic equity investments recorded at cost in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

 

  (i) Accounts Receivable and Other Current Receivables

Accounts receivable consist of amounts arising from recognized revenues.

The Company’s customer base consists primarily of large, well-established companies or government agencies. Five customers accounted for approximately 21%, 26% and 22% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of gross receivables at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

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

 

     December 31,  
     2008     2007    2006  

Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning of year

   $ 2,009     $ 1,470    $ 467  

Provision for (reduction in) allowance for doubtful accounts

     (38 )     336      1,041  

Amounts written-off, net of recoveries

     (1,122 )     203      (38 )
                       

Allowance for doubtful accounts, end of year

   $ 849     $ 2,009    $ 1,470  
                       

Other current receivables include federal income tax and other tax refunds of $106 and $196 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, other current receivables at December 31, 2007 include $606 related to payments to be received on the proceeds of sale of long-term strategic investments.

 

  (j) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated generally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The expected useful lives of the furniture and fixtures, computer and telecom equipment and internal-use software is three to five years and the term of the facility lease for leasehold improvements.

Recoverability of property, equipment and other long-lived assets is periodically reviewed for impairment on the basis of undiscounted cash flows. If the expected cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying value, the asset is written down to its fair value.

  (k) Goodwill, Purchased Product Rights and Other Purchased Intangibles

Goodwill with a balance of $60,214 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is tested for impairment annually and also in the event of an impairment indicator. No impairment was required as a result of the annual impairment test as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Purchased product rights, customer/partner relationships and non-competition agreements of key personnel of acquired companies are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally four to ten years. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In such reviews, the related expected undiscounted cash flows are compared with their carrying values to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

During 2006, the Company recorded purchased product rights and customer/partner relationships in the amount of $5,120 and $6,530, respectively, related to the acquisition of Business Signatures. Further, the Company recorded customer relationships and non-competition agreement assets of $960 and $769, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of Orion in 2006. During 2004, the Company recorded purchased product rights and customer relationships in the amount of $2,608 and $174, respectively, related to the acquisition of certain assets from AmikaNow!. In addition, the Company recorded customer relationships of $242 in connection with the acquisition of Entrust Japan in 2004.

  (l) Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets consist primarily of capitalized software development costs, capitalized sublease costs and long-term rent deposits. The capitalized software development costs of $470 and $3,020 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are amortized ratably as the underlying revenues are recognized on sales of capitalized software or on a straight-line basis, whichever is greater, and are stated net of accumulated amortization of $227 and $1,283 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the capitalized software development costs is due to an impairment of $1,518 recorded by the Company in the book value of capitalized software development costs related to its video based training, originally developed for both general

security and Entrust specific solutions, for sale to its customers. Other long-term assets also include capitalized costs associated with subletting space in our Canadian facility of $411, net of accumulated amortization of $50, at December 31, 2008 and long-term rent deposits of $459 at December 31, 2007.

 

  (m) Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and totaled $2,433, $2,831 and $4,526 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

  (n) Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities for accounting purposes, and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in net income in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded for those deferred income tax assets whose recoverability is not sufficiently likely. Valuation allowances are provided against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the timing of the temporary differences becoming deductible. The Company considers, among other available information, historical earnings, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and other matters in making this assessment.

 

  (o) Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common stock of all classes outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common stock and potential Common stock outstanding, and when dilutive, options to purchase Common stock (including stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights) using the treasury stock method. The options to purchase Common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect is antidilutive.

 

  (p) Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Marketable investments consist of publicly traded debt and equity securities. The amortized cost basis of publicly traded debt securities classified as held to maturity approximates fair value due to the nature of these instruments, which generally have short-term maturities.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to interest rate and credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, marketable investments and accounts receivable. The Company has investment policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and restrict placement of these investments to issuers evaluated as credit worthy. The Company maintains its cash equivalents and marketable investments with high quality financial institutions and investment managers. The Company performs periodic reviews of the credit standing of its investments and the financial institutions managing those investments.

  (q) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows will depend on the terms and timing of future acquisitions, if any.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retroactively. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS No. 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company currently does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on the disclosures already provided.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company’s management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

  (r) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

3. Impairment of Long-term Asset

During 2008, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,518 in the book value of capitalized software development costs related to its video based training, originally developed for both general security and Entrust specific solutions, for sale to its customers. During 2008, the Company became aware that its lead customer for this product was no longer interested in pursuing an agreement to license the content of the video based training technology. This fact, combined with changes in the management of the video based training program and the decision to discontinue investment in the maintenance of the technology to ensure continuity with the Company’s software releases, indicated to the Company’s management that a degradation in the carrying value of the related capitalized development costs may have occurred. The Company applied an expected present value technique to estimate the fair value of this long-lived asset in determining that the recoverable value had been impaired.

 

4. Fair Value Measurement

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements and expands disclosures about such measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather it creates a consistent method for calculating fair value measurements to address non-comparability of financial statements containing fair value measurements utilizing different definitions of fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

Relative to SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) No. 157-1 and 157-2. FSP No. 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP No. 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the Company has not applied the provisions of SFAS No. 157 include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing and indefinite lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment testing.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

The adoption of FSP No. 157-2 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will use fair value measurement under SFAS No. 157 in future evaluations of impairment under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles” in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

5. Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN No. 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of not being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN No. 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company was not required to record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, resulting in no adjustment to the January 1, 2007 accumulated deficit balance. Correspondingly, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was zero and, thus, would not impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not change as of December 31, 2008. The Company does not expect to record unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. As of January 1, 2007, the Company was not required to record a liability for the payment of interest and penalties, respectively. The liability for the payment of interest and penalties did not change as of December 31, 2008.

All federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries are closed through 2004 in the United States and 2003 in Canada. Taxation years back to fiscal 1998 remain open to the extent that the Company has net operating loss (“NOL’s”) carry-forwards related to those years. The United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination of the years 1997 through 2001 for the Company is completed, with no outstanding issues pending. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary had been under examination by the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for its transfer pricing structure for the years 2003 and 2004. The Company has been notified in writing by CRA that their examination has been closed and will not result in any proposed adjustments. The Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom is currently under examination by HM Revenue & Customs for its 2005 tax year. It is anticipated that this examination will be completed within the next twelve months.

State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. The Company and its subsidiaries have various state income tax returns in the process of examination or administrative appeals. The Company does not expect that these examinations will affect the amount of its unrecognized tax benefits.

 

6. Acquisitions of Businesses

Orion

On June 15, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Orion, a Virginia corporation, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 15, 2006 (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Orion, and the shareholders of Orion. The Company acquired all of the common stock of Orion, a privately-held provider of public key infrastructure services to defense-related governmental agencies and other customers, such as the Department of Defense, the United States Marine Corps and the National Security Agency and commercial companies in the healthcare industry, in exchange for $9,000 in cash and $135 in acquisition-related costs. The acquisition was made in order to extend

the Company’s overall leadership in the United States government vertical, by further strengthening the Company’s ability to provide identity and information security to the United States civilian government agencies, adding key defense agencies to the Company’s customer base. The Company has integrated the majority of Orion’s business into Entrust Cygnacom, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, located in McLean, Virginia.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price of approximately $9,135 was allocated to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of Orion have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing from June 1, 2006, the effective date of the acquisition. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded amortization of $192, $192 and $112, respectively, related to customer relationships and $154, $154 and $90, respectively, related to non-competition agreement assets, arising from this acquisition. In connection with the purchase price allocation, the Company undertook an appraisal of the intangible assets, which resulted in the purchase price of these assets being allocated, as follows:

On July 19, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and options of Business Signatures, a privately-held supplier of Zero Touch Fraud Detection solutions that provide non-invasive real time online fraud detection capability that require no change to business applications, based in Redwood City, California, in exchange for approximately $48,024 in cash and vested options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $722. The Company also incurred approximately $2,465 in acquisition-related expenses. The acquisition enables the Company to combine Business Signatures’ zero touch capability with the Company’s IdentityGuard authentication platform in order to offer customers strong consumer authentication solutions, that are easy to implement, user-friendly and cost effective with the ability to evolve over time, to help meet the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) requirement to implement stronger security measures for online customers, as well as other requirements for online transaction security and integrity.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price of approximately $51,211 was allocated to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. In addition, the results of operations of Business Signatures have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing from July 19, 2006, the effective date of the acquisition. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded amortization of $653, $653 and $299, respectively, related to customer/partner relationships and $512, $512 and $235, respectively, related to purchased product rights, arising from this acquisition. In connection with the purchase price allocation, the Company undertook an appraisal of the intangible assets, which resulted in the purchase price of these assets being allocated, as follows:

7. Investment in Ohana

The Company held approximately 14.3% of the issued share capital of Ohana, a company formed in 2003 to design, assemble and install high frequency wireless communications systems. The original value of this investment was $1.5 million. The Company had recorded cumulative losses from its investment in Ohana of $750 since the fourth quarter of 2004, including $96 in 2006. There are no terms associated with the Company’s investment in Ohana that would impact its accounting for this investment under FIN 46 (R), the Company has no commitments or other arrangements to provide funding for any shortfalls Ohana may incur, and there are no variable interests with respect to Ohana, other than its common stock interest. In February 2007, Ohana was acquired by MediaG3. Subsequent to this acquisition, the Company held shares representing an approximate 3% ownership of Media G3.

During 2006, the Company was informed of an Ohana re-financing, which coupled with the changes in the business outlook, led the Company to conclude that the expectations for Ohana had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of the Company’s equity ownership. As a result,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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

 

the Company recorded an impairment of its investment in Ohana of $659 in fiscal 2006. No amount of the charge will result in future cash expenditures. The carrying value of the Company’s investment at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $91 and $46, respectively.

 

8. Asia Digital Media Joint Venture

In 2004, the Company and certain other investors agreed to subscribe for shares in a newly formed joint venture called Asia Digital Media pursuant to a subscription agreement. Mr. James D. Kendry, the Company’s Vice President and Chief Governance Officer, is a director of Asia Digital Media. The Company owns approximately 44% of the issued share capital of Asia Digital Media, and the Company’s conclusion that Asia Digital Media does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity has remained unchanged since its original investment.

The Company accounts for its investment in Asia Digital Media under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company has included its share of losses of Asia Digital Media, in the amount of $77 and $349, in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for 2007 and 2006, respectively. The carrying value of this investment was zero as at December 31, 2007, and therefore, no further losses were recorded in 2008. The Company has recorded cumulative losses through December 31, 2008 and 2007 from its investment in Asia Digital Media of $1,188 since its investment in the fourth quarter of 2004.

During 2006, the Company was informed of changes in its Chinese partner’s ability to invest in the second funding round of Asia Digital Media. This factor, among others, had significant negative implications for Asia Digital Media. The Company had concluded that expectations for Asia Digital Media had not materialized and an impairment charge was required to adjust the net carrying value of the Company’s equity ownership. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of its investment in Asia Digital Media in the amount of $2,357 in fiscal 2006. No amount of the charge will result in future cash expenditures. After this impairment and inclusion of the Company’s share of Asia Digital Media’s losses, the remaining carrying value of the Company’s investment in Asia Digital Media at December 31, 2006 was $78. The Company continues to account for its investment in Asia Digital Media under the equity method and, as a result, the Company had no remaining carrying value of its investment by December 31, 2008 and 2007.

On May 27, 2003, the Company announced a restructuring plan aimed at lowering costs and better aligning its resources to customer needs. The plan allowed the Company to have tighter integration between customer touch functions, which better positions the Company to take advantage of the market opportunities for its new products, and solutions. The restructuring plan included eliminating positions to lower operating costs, closing under-utilized office capacity, primarily from the excess space in the Company’s Santa Clara, California and Addison, Texas facilities, and re-assessing the useful life of related excess long-lived assets. The workforce portion of the restructuring plan had been significantly completed by December 31, 2003, while the facilities plan was executed by September 30, 2003. The Company also announced non-cash charges related to the impairment of a long-term strategic investment and the impairment of purchased product rights acquired through the enCommerce acquisition of June 2000.

June 2001 Restructuring Plan

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

The consolidation of excess facilities included the closure of eight offices throughout the world, but the majority of the costs related to the Company’s facility in Santa Clara, California. These costs are payable contractually over the remaining term of the Santa Clara facility lease, which runs through 2011, reduced by estimated sublease recoveries. During 2006, the Company made further adjustments to the restructuring charges that had previously been recorded related to the June 2001 restructuring plan with respect to the Santa Clara, California facility, resulting from the conclusion of an extension agreement with the current sublessee to sublease the California facility through March 31, 2011, which represents substantially all of the remaining lease period on the building. As a result of the conclusion of the final sublease arrangement during 2006, the Company adjusted its accrual related to the June 2001 restructuring by $2,765 to reflect the known sublet lease recoveries under the extension agreement.

The Company has evaluated and pursued all reasonable possibilities to settle the lease obligations associated with the June 2001 restructuring, but has been unable to find an acceptable outcome. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it is appropriate to classify the portion of the outstanding liabilities that is not payable within the next 12 months to long-term liabilities. However, the current obligations would require the Company to fund $5,500 of its accrued restructuring charges for the June 2001 restructuring in fiscal 2009, with the remaining accrued restructuring charges for the June 2001 restructuring to be paid as follows: $5,700 in fiscal 2010 and $2,400 in fiscal 2011.

Deferred income taxes represent the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carry-forwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax benefits (liabilities) are as follows:

Net deferred tax asset

   $ —       $ —    
                

United States and foreign NOL and tax credit carry-forwards include $16,181 and $17,048 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to NOL carry-forwards resulting from the exercise of non-qualified stock options with a corresponding amount included in the valuation allowance, the tax benefit of which, when recognized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital. In addition, United States and foreign NOL and tax credit carry-forwards include NOL carry-forwards and research and development credits of approximately $12,183 from enCommerce, $6,204 from Business Signatures and $2,770 from Entrust Japan, at the date of acquisition, with a corresponding amount included in the valuation allowance. The annual utilization of acquired NOL and tax credit carry-forwards may be limited by certain historical ownership changes at enCommerce and Business Signatures. The acquired NOL carry-forwards from Business Signatures are included under “Adjustments to deferred tax assets” for 2006 in the reconciliation to the federal statutory rate above.

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood of realizing its deferred tax assets and adjusts the related valuation allowance based on the amount of deferred tax assets that it believes is more likely than not to be realized. The Company believes it may not generate sufficient future taxable income in specific tax jurisdictions to utilize all of its NOL carry-forwards before their expiration and, as a result, has retained a valuation allowance of $144,993.

As at December 31, 2008, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $250,153. Of that total approximately $233,711 relate to the United States operations and will expire at various dates in the years 2018 to 2027. The balance of approximately $16,442 relates to foreign operations, which will expire at various dates in the years 2009 to 2014. In addition, the Company has $2,069 of United States research and development credits expiring at various dates between 2016 and 2027 and foreign research and development tax credits of $16,601 expiring at various dates between 2010 and 2028.

14. Long-Term Liabilities

Long-term liabilities of $772 and $218 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, consists primarily of long-term deposits received in connection with the sub-leasing of various facility locations in the United States and Canada.

 

15. Capital Stock

 

  (a) Common Stock

The holders of Common stock are entitled to one vote per share and are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company is authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of Common stock.

 

  (b) Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred stock in one or more series. Each such series of Preferred stock would have such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights and liquidation preferences, as determined by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not issued any shares of Preferred stock.

 

  (c) Stock Repurchase Program

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

The stock repurchase program expired on December 15, 2006. During the term of the program, the Company’s management determined the timing and amount of shares repurchased based on its evaluation of market and business conditions. The repurchased shares are considered authorized but unissued shares of the Company and are available for issuance under the Company’s stock incentive, employee stock purchase and other stock benefit plans, and for general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions. The stock repurchase program was funded using the Company’s working capital.

 

  (d) Other Stock Issuance

During 2006, the Company issued 226,654 shares of its Common stock to an employee of the Company, in exchange for $675 in cash. No compensation cost was recorded related to this transaction, since the shares were acquired at fair market value.

16. Stock Based Compensation and Stock Option Plans

The Company has several stock option plans, as described hereunder, that currently provide for the issuance of an aggregate of 16,832,528 shares of Common stock. On May 5, 2006 stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The Board adopted the 2006 Plan because it believes that continued grants of stock options, as well as grants of restricted stock and other stock-based awards, are an important element in attracting, retaining and motivating persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company.

The Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”), the enCommerce, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 1999 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), as amended (together, the “Prior Plans”), have been terminated and no further grants are permitted under the Prior Plans. This termination of the Prior Plans does not affect awards that are outstanding under the Prior Plans. The Special Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement (the “Special Plan”) provided for the grant of an option to acquire 2,000,000 shares of Common stock. Accordingly, the Company has reserved 2,000,000 shares of Common stock for issuance under the Special Plan. This option was granted in 2001.

The options under the 2006 Plan, 1996 Plan, 1999 Plan, enCommerce 1997 Plans and Special Plan are granted at the then-current fair market value of the Common stock of the Company and generally may be exercised in equal proportions over the defined vesting period for each grant, generally two to four years. All awards granted before April 29, 2005, generally expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date or upon termination of employment, while options granted on or after April 29, 2005, generally expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date or upon termination of employment. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted under these plans entitle the holder to exercise the options in exchange for shares of Common stock as the award vests. RSUs generally vest ratably over four years.

On July 19, 2006, the Company assumed the obligations of Business Signatures under its 2002 Stock Plan. Under this plan, the Company assumed options to purchase 1,792,092 shares of Business Signature Common stock in exchange for options to purchase 1,150,590 shares of the Company’s Common stock. Options under this plan may be granted to employees, officers, directors or consultants and generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Incentive options may only be granted to employees at an exercise price of no less than fair value on the date of grant. Non-statutory options may be granted at an exercise price of no less than 85% of fair value on the date of grant. For owners of more than 10% of the common stock, incentive options may only be granted for an exercise price of no less than 110% of fair value and these options generally expire five years from date of grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable as the award vests, generally over four years.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $23.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 compensation cost of $2,454, was recognized for employee stock compensation. This compensation cost included estimation of expected forfeitures. Forfeiture estimations are based on analysis of historical forfeiture rates.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 167,500 restricted stock units to employees with an average grant date fair value of $2.36, of which 50,000 units are subject to performance conditions. Restricted stock units are valued at fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost related to RSUs is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally between two to four years.

Of the restricted stock units granted in 2007, 194,000 units carry specific performance vesting conditions. The vesting of such awards is subject to certain performance targets in future periods. If such performance conditions are not met, the awards forfeit. A total of 362,040 RSUs are outstanding at December 31, 2008 with an aggregate fair value of $1,198.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)

SARs give the issuer a right to participate in the appreciation of the underlying stock up to a ‘capped’ value of four times the stock price on date of grant. SARs are settled by issuance of common stock. There were no SARs granted to employees in the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. A total of 1,189,600 SARs were granted to employees in the year ended December 31, 2006, which had an average strike price of $3.71 per right, equivalent to the underlying share price on the date of grant. These instruments vest over four years and have a contractual life of seven years. A total of 132,668 SARs were granted to the members of our Board of Directors in 2005 and have a vesting period of three years and a contractual life of seven years.

The total compensation cost related to SARs awards not yet recognized is displayed in the following table:

The number of SARs exercisable into Common Stock was 719,544 and 565,136 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of these exercisable outstanding SARs was $3.73 and $3.75 respectively.

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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