Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts are in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “VASCO,” “company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries design, develop, market and support security products and services which manage and protect against unauthorized access to computer systems of corporate and government customers. VASCO has operations in Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, the U.K., the United States (U.S.) and Switzerland.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates and Assumptions

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

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The financial position and results of the operations of the majority of the company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense). For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were $148 and $521, respectively.

The financial position and results of operations of our operations in Singapore and Switzerland are measured in U.S. Dollars. For these subsidiaries, gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense).

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985-605 that addresses the accounting for revenue transactions involving software, as well as Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

Hardware Revenue and License Fees: Revenue from the sale of computer security hardware or the license of software is recorded upon shipment or, if an acceptance period is allowed, at the latter of shipment or customer acceptance. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized.

Maintenance and Support Agreements: Maintenance and support agreements generally call for us to provide software updates and technical support, respectively, to customers. Revenue on maintenance and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the applicable maintenance and support agreement.

Consulting and Education Services: We provide consulting and education services to our customers. Revenue from such services is recognized during the period in which the services are performed.

Multiple-Element Arrangements: We allocate revenue to the various elements of the arrangements based on the estimated fair value of each deliverable as required by ASC 605-25. The fair value for each element is based on the price charged when that element is sold separately, renewal rates and other methods, such as prices established by management. The estimated fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and recorded as revenue when services are performed or products are delivered.

When tokens and software licenses are included in multiple element arrangements, they are generally delivered elements in such arrangements. When tokens and software are delivered elements, we use the Residual Method (ASC 605-25) for determining the amount of revenue to recognize for token and software licenses if we have vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) for all of the undelivered elements. Any discount provided to the customer is applied fully to the delivered elements in such an arrangement. We defer the revenue for tokens and software in any multiple element arrangement where we do not have VSOE for any undelivered element. VSOE of fair value of PCS agreements is based on separate sales transactions on a worldwide basis. In sales arrangements where VSOE of fair value has not been established, revenue for all elements is deferred and amortized over the life of the arrangement. We recognize revenue from sales to distributors and resellers on the same basis as sales made directly to customers. We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

For large-volume transactions, we may negotiate a specific price that is based on the number of users of the software license or quantities of hardware supplied. The per unit prices for large-volume transactions are generally lower than transactions for smaller quantities and the price differences are commonly referred to as volume-purchase discounts.

All revenue is reported on a net basis, excluding any sales or value added taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are high-quality short term money market instruments, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and equivalents are held by a number of U.S. and non-U.S. commercial banks and money market investment funds. Cash and equivalents at March 31, 2010 include $71,411 in money market investment funds or demand bank deposits for which fair value is equal to cost. These investments are valued using level one inputs, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Cash and equivalents also include $4,709 in bank certificates of deposit for which fair value was $4,724 at March 31, 2010. Bank certificates of deposit are valued using level two inputs, as defined by ASC 820.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The credit-worthiness of customers (including distributors and resellers) is reviewed prior to shipment. A reasonable expectation of collection is a requirement for revenue recognition. Verification of credit and/or the establishment of credit limits are part of the customer contract administration process. Credit limit adjustments for existing customers may result from the periodic review of outstanding accounts receivable. The company records trade accounts receivable at invoice values, which are generally equal to fair value.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for goods and services. We analyze accounts receivable balances, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment timing when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a specific review of all significant past-due accounts. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of hardware and component parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. We write down inventory when it appears that the carrying cost of the inventory may not be recovered through subsequent sale of the inventory. The company analyzes the quantity of inventory on hand, the quantity sold in the past year, the anticipated sales volume in the form of sales to new customers as well as sales to previous customers, the expected sales price and the cost of making the sale when evaluating the valuation of our inventory. If the sales volume or sales price of a specific model declines significantly, additional write downs may be required.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses resulting from sales or retirements are recorded as incurred, at which time related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

Research and Development Costs

Costs for research and development, principally the design and development of hardware, and the design and development of software prior to the determination of technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred on a project-by-project basis.

Software Development Costs

We capitalize software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20. Research costs and software development costs, prior to the establishment of technological feasibility, determined based upon the creation of a working model, are expensed as incurred. Our software capitalization policy defines technological feasibility as a functioning beta test prototype with confirmed manufacturability (a working model), within a reasonably predictable range of costs. Additional criteria include receptive customers, or potential customers, as evidenced by interest expressed in a beta test prototype, at some suggested selling price. Our policy is to amortize capitalized costs by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally two to five years, including the period being reported on.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We monitor our potential income tax exposures as required by ASC 740-10.

We have significant net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. and other countries which are available to reduce the liability on future taxable income. A valuation reserve has been provided for the U.S. and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards to offset most of these future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our financial instruments were cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying amounts at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Accounting for Leases

All of our leases are operating leases. Rent expense on facility leases is charged evenly over the life of the lease, regardless of the timing of actual payments.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

We account for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350-20. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include customer lists, proprietary technology and other intangible assets. Intangible assets other than patents with definite lives are amortized over the useful life, generally three to seven years for proprietary technology. Patents are amortized over the life of the patent, generally 20 years in the U.S.

We assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives each year-end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Once identified, the amount of the impairment is computed by comparing carrying value of the assets to fair value. Fair value for goodwill is determined using our stock price which is a level 1 valuation, as defined in ASC 820-10. Fair value for trademarks is based on discounted estimated future cash flows, which a level 3 valuation. We have not recognized any impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as the fair value of our reporting unit substantially exceeds our carrying amount

Stock-Based Compensation

We have stock-based employee compensation plans. ASC 718-10 requires us to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees, directors and others and to record compensation expense equal to the estimated fair value. The fair value of stock options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the expected life adjusted to reflect the effect of post-vesting restrictions. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options.

Warranty

Warranties are provided on the sale of certain of our products and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Warranty reserves are based on past claims experience, sales history and other considerations. Our standard practice is to provide a warranty on our hardware products for either a one or two year period after the date of purchase. Customers may purchase extended warranties covering periods from one to four years after the standard warranty period. We defer the revenue associated with the extended warranty and recognize it into income on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We have historically experienced minimal actual claims over the warranty period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation, to present the details of the changes in assets and liabilities on a consistent basis.

Note 2 – Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represents the balance due on credit sales made to customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate of losses that may result from customers’ inability to make payment on their outstanding balances.


	March 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Accounts receivable	$	23,502		$	31,601
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(1,523	)		(1,201	)

Accounts receivable, net	$	21,979		$	30,400

Note 3 – Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of hardware and component parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method.

Inventories are comprised of the following:


	March 31, 2010		December 31, 2009
Component parts	$	4,880	$	5,810
Work-in-process and finished goods		4,024		3,205

Total	$	8,904	$	9,015

Note 4 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Intangible asset activity for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and the composition of the March 31, 2010 balance is detailed in the following table. The majority of our goodwill and intangibles is denominated in local currencies and is subject to currency fluctuations.


	Capitalized Technology			Patents & Trademarks			Intangible Assets			Goodwill
Net balance at December 31, 2009	$	1,034		$	763		$	1,797		$	13,813

Net balance at March 31, 2010	$	866		$	840		$	1,706		$	12,967

Note 5 – Other Assets – Long Term

Other Assets is comprised mostly of cash deposits.

Changes in deferred tax assets is charged to income tax expense. The following table summarizes other long-term assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010:


	Deferred tax assets			Other assets			Total other assets
Net balance at December 31, 2009	$	670		$	370		$	1,040
Additions/(reductions)		(47	)		(23	)		(70	)
Net translation gain/(loss)		-			-			-
Expensed		-			-			-

Net balance at March 31, 2010	$	623		$	347		$	970

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for 2010 is expected to be 33%. This is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, partially offset by losses in the U.S. for which no tax benefit is recorded. The expected tax rate for 2009 was 25% in the first quarter of 2009. The tax rate in the first quarter of 2009 also benefited from income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, partially offset by US losses for which no tax benefit was recorded.

At December 31, 2009, we had U.S. net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $23,204. Of this amount, $16,643 is available to offset future taxable income. The remainder represents tax deductions for employee stock option gains which would be credited to paid-in capital. The U.S. loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2018 and continuing through 2029. In addition, if certain substantial changes in the company’s ownership were deemed to have occurred, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of the U.S. carryforwards that could be utilized. At December 31, 2009, we also had foreign NOL carryforwards of $5,391. The foreign NOL carryforwards have no expiration dates. A valuation reserve has been provided for the U.S. and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards to offset the future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.

Note 7 – Warranties

We provide for the estimated costs of hardware warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. We estimate the costs based on historical and projected product failure rates, historical and projected repair costs as well as known specific product failures, if any. We regularly reassess the adequacy of our estimates and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our warranty reserve is included in other accrued expenses.

The activity in our warranty liability was as follows:


	Three months ended March 31
	2010			2009
Balance, beginning of the period	$	150		$	475
Provision for claims		-			-
Product or cash issued to settle claims		(60	)		-

Balance, end of period	$	90		$	475

Note 8 – Long-Term Compensation Plan and Stock Based Compensation

In the first quarter of 2010, we awarded 294 shares of restricted stock under the VASCO Data Security International, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Equity Incentive Plan”), consisting of 139 issued shares and 155 shares subject to future performance criteria and, therefore, have not been issued. The market value of the restricted shares was $1,867 at the date of grant and will be amortized over the respective vesting periods of one to four years.

In the first quarter 2009, we recorded $296 of expense related to restricted stock awards and reversed $2,002 of expense accrued at December 31, 2008, related to long-term performance based, incentive awards that were granted in 2007 and 2008 under the VASCO Data Security International, Inc. 1997 Stock Compensation Plan, as Amended and Restated, that were not likely to be achieved.

The following table details long-term compensation plan and stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Stock options	$	-	$	11
Restricted stock		374		(354	)
Long-term compensation plan		159		(1,352	)

Total Non-Cash Compensation	$	533	$	(1,695	)

Note 9 – Common Stock and Earnings per Share

In connection with the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan described above, we issued 139 shares of restricted common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of unexercised common stock equivalents.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 concerning, among other things, the prospects of, and developments and business strategies for, VASCO and our operations, including the development and marketing of certain new products and the anticipated future growth in certain markets in which we currently market and sell our products or anticipate selling and marketing our products in the future. These forward-looking statements (1) are identified by use of terms and phrases such as “expect”, “believe”, “will”, “anticipate”, “emerging”, “intend”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “estimate”, “should”, “objective” and “goal” and similar words and expressions, but such words and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying them, and (2) are subject to risks and uncertainties and represent our present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. VASCO cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors have been described in greater detail in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, but are not limited to, (a) risks of general market conditions, including currency fluctuations and the unprecedented uncertainties resulting from the current turmoil in world economic and financial markets, (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, and changing government regulations, and (c) risks specific to VASCO, including, demand for our products and services, competition from more established firms and others, pressures on price levels and our historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers. Thus, the results that we actually achieve may differ materially from any anticipated results included in, or implied by these statements.

General

The following discussion is based upon our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (percentages in the discussion may be rounded to the closest full percentage point) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We design, develop, market and support open standards-based hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. We also design, develop, market and support patented strong user authentication products and services for e-business and e-commerce. Our products enable secure financial transactions to be made over private enterprise networks and public networks, such as the Internet. Our strong user authentication is delivered via our hardware and software DIGIPASS security products (collectively DIGIPASSES), most of which incorporate an electronic signature capability, which further protects the integrity of electronic transactions and data transmissions. Some of our DIGIPASSES are compliant with the Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) standard and are compatible with MasterCard’s and VISA’s Chip Authentication Program (CAP). Some of our DIGIPASS units comply with the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH). As evidenced by our current customer base, our products are purchased by companies and, depending on the business application, are distributed to either their employees or their customers. Those customers may be other businesses or, as an example in the case of Internet banking, our customer banks’ corporate and retail customers.

Our target market is any business process that uses some form of electronic interface, particularly the Internet, where the owner of that process is at risk if unauthorized users can gain access to its process and either obtain proprietary information or execute transactions that are not authorized. Our products can not only increase the security associated with accessing the business process, thereby reducing the losses from unauthorized access, but also, in many cases, can reduce the cost of the process itself by automating activities that were previously performed manually.

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Industry Growth: We do not believe that there are any accurate measurements of the total industry’s size or the industry’s growth rate. Also, given the current economic conditions, we expect that the industry will grow slowly in 2010, and may, in fact, decline if the economic conditions do not improve. We do believe, however, that over the longer term, the industry will grow at a significant rate. We expect that growth will be driven by new government regulations, growing awareness of the impact of identity theft, and the growth in commerce that is transacted electronically. The issues driving the growth are global issues and the rate of adoption in each country is a function of that country’s culture, the competitive position of businesses operating in those countries, the country’s overall economic conditions and the degree to which businesses and consumers within the country use technology.

Economic Conditions: Our revenue may vary significantly with changes in the economic conditions in the countries in which we sell products. With our current concentration of revenue in Europe and specifically in the banking/finance vertical market, significant changes in the economic outlook for the European banking market may have a significant effect on our revenue. As a result of the difficult economy in 2009, our customers delayed the rollout of existing applications and deferred purchase decisions related to the implementation of our products in new applications. In 2009, we responded to the difficult economic conditions by focusing our sales efforts on markets that we believed to have the most near-term opportunity and by implementing cost containment initiatives, that included, but were not limited to, a hiring freeze. With the apparent abatement of the difficult economic conditions in the fourth quarter of 2009 in many of the countries in which we operate, we plan to begin hiring staff to support new product development and sales initiatives as well as hiring staff to mitigate risk and strengthen our position in existing markets. While these actions are expected to result in lower operating income as a percentage of revenue in 2010, we believe that the actions will allow us to strengthen our overall market position and result in higher revenue in future years.

Currency Fluctuations: In the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, approximately 91% and 95%, respectively, of our revenue was generated outside the United States. In addition, approximately 83% and 88%, respectively, of our operating expenses were incurred outside the United States. Excluding the benefit derived in the first quarter of 2009 from the reversal of accruals for performance-based equity incentive awards of $2,002, 75% of our operating expenses were incurred outside of the United States. Changes in currency exchange rates, especially from the Euro to U.S. Dollar, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.

In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations, we attempt to denominate our billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. In periods in which the U.S. Dollar is weakening, we expect that our operating earnings will increase as a result of the change in currency exchange rates. Conversely, in periods in which the U.S. Dollar is strengthening, we expect that our operating earnings will decrease as a result of the change in currency exchange rates.

The U.S. Dollar weakened by approximately 5% against the Euro and 35% against the Australian Dollar for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. We estimate that the weakening of the U.S. Dollar versus these two currencies in 2010 compared to 2009 resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $824 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 and an increase in operating expenses of approximately $820 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009.

The financial position and results of operations of most of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Switzerland and Singapore (in which the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar), are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other non-operating income (expense). Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregating $148 in the first quarter of 2010 compare to losses of $521 in the first quarter of 2009.

Revenue

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


	EMEA			United States			Asia Pacific			Other Countries			Total
Three months ended March 31:

Total Revenue:
2010	$	16,208		$	2,125		$	1,285		$	4,297		$	23,915
2009	$	16,510		$	1,139		$	2,853		$	2,673		$	23,175

Percent of Total:
2010		68	%		9	%		5	%		18	%		100	%
2009		71	%		5	%		12	%		12	%		100	%

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 increased $740, or 3%, over first quarter 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar as compared to the Euro, as previously noted. In the first quarter of 2010, we saw an increase in activity in the United States and Other Countries, but a continuation of the slow pace of new orders in the banking/finance (“Banking”) market in EMEA and Asia Pacific. Based on an increase in the number of requests for proposals (RFP’s) in which we are participating, we believe that the revenues in EMEA and Asia Pacific regions from the Banking market will increase in later periods as those RFP’s result in volume purchase agreements.

Revenue generated in EMEA during the first quarter 2010 was $302, or 2%, lower than the first quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to factors noted above related to the quarter as a whole and reflected decreased revenue in the Banking market partially offset by an increase in the enterprise and application security (“Enterprise and Application Security”) markets.

Revenue generated in the United States during the first quarter was $986, or 87%, higher than the first quarter of 2009. Revenue in the United States increased in both the Banking and Enterprise and Application Security markets. The U.S. market continues to defer the adoption of two factor authentication for retail internet banking applications, but we believe that we are well positioned to meet the needs of the U.S. market when banks decide to deploy strong user authentication to their retail banking customers. The results in the U.S. also reflect strong competition from our competitors, especially in the Enterprise and Application Security market.

Revenue generated in the Asia Pacific region during the first quarter was $1,568, or 55%, lower than the first quarter of 2009. The decrease was attributable to decreases in both the Banking and Enterprise and Application Security markets.

Revenue generated from Other Countries during the first quarter was $1,624, or 61%, higher than the first quarter of 2009. The increased revenue from Other Countries was primarily due to increases in the Banking markets in Central and South America. VASCO continues to invest in new markets by hiring new sales and support staff to help penetrate the developing markets for strong user authentication.

Given the relatively small size of the revenue in regions other than EMEA, our results may vary substantially quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on both an absolute and on a percentage basis, depending on, among other things, items such as the timing of the receipt and delivery of a large new order or the completion of a large rollout. We believe that the variability in results will lessen as we develop a larger base of Banking customers and further develop our distribution channel for the Enterprise and Application Security market.

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


	Banking		Enterprise & Application Security		Total
Three months ended March 31:

Total Revenue:
2010	$	17,671	$	6,244	$	23,915
2009	$	17,289	$	5,886	$	23,175

Percent of Total:
2010		74%		26%		100%
2009		75%		25%		100%

Revenue in the first quarter of 2010 from the Banking market increased $382, or 2%, over the first quarter of 2009 and revenue from the Enterprise and Application Security market increased $358, or 6%, in the same period. The increase in revenue in both the Banking and the Enterprise and Application security markets reflects the benefit of a weaker U.S. Dollar and higher non-product revenues partially offset by a decrease in the number of units shipped.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain consolidated financial data as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Net revenues	100.0	%	100.0	%

Cost of goods sold	30.2	%	27.9	%


Gross profit	69.8	%	72.1	%

Operating costs:
Sales and marketing	33.2	%	30.5	%
Research and development	13.7	%	10.5	%
General and administrative	19.4	%	10.2	%
Amortization of purchased intangible assets	0.5	%	0.5	%

Total operating costs	66.8	%	51.7	%

Operating income	3.0	%	20.4	%

Interest income	0.3	%	0.6	%
Other income (expense)	0.3	%	-1.1	%


Income before income taxes	3.6	%	19.9	%
Provision for income taxes	1.2	%	5.0	%


Net income	2.4	%	14.9	%

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $16,688, a decrease of $10, or less than 1%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross profit margin) was 70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 is primarily related to higher non-product costs and an increase in lower margin card readers sold as a percentage of total revenue partially offset by:

•

an increase in higher margin non-hardware related revenues,

•

an increase in the percentage of our revenue that came from the higher margin Enterprise and Application Security market and

•

the benefit from the impact of currency.

Our non-hardware revenues were approximately 24% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 20% in the first quarter of 2009. As mentioned earlier, revenue from our Enterprise and Application Security market, which generally has margins that are 20 to 30 percentage points higher than the Banking market, was 26% of our total revenue in Q1 2010 compared to 25% in Q1 2009.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and the majority of such expenses are fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in the amount of revenue recognized in any given quarter could cause significant variations in the quarter-to-quarter comparisons of either the absolute amounts of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.

The most significant factor driving our operating expenses is our headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 60% of our operating expenses. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount.

During the first quarter of 2010, in anticipation of strong growth in our markets in the later part of 2010 and into 2011, we did began an aggressive hiring program that is expected to increase our staff by 60 persons, or approximately 20% for the full year. As a result of the cost containment actions we initiated at the end of 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009, however, the average total headcount in the first quarter of 2010 was 8 persons or 3% lower than in the first quarter of 2009.

In addition to headcount, the comparison of operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2009 was impacted significantly by our non-cash compensation expenses. Non-cash compensation expenses generally relate to stock-based, long-term performance incentives. In the first quarter of 2009, we reversed approximately $2,002 of accruals that had been established in prior years for long-term, incentive-based compensation plans where it was no longer likely that the performance targets will be met. Including the adjustment, we reported a net benefit (reversal of accruals in prior periods partially offset by the current period expense) of $1,695 related to equity incentive plans in the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded $533 of expense related to awards under our equity incentive plans.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Consolidated sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $7,929, an increase of $870, or 12%, from the first quarter of 2009. This increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to:

•

an increase in long-term, performance-based, incentive awards in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily resulting from the aforementioned reversal of long-term incentive award accruals in the first quarter of 2009, and

•

the impact of a weaker U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro.

Research and Development Expenses

Consolidated research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, were $3,272, an increase of $828, or 34%, from the first quarter of 2009. This increase in research and development expenses was primarily to the same factors noted for the increase in sales and marketing expenses noted above.

General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, were $4,648, an increase of $2,282, or 96%, from the first quarter of 2009. In addition to the long-term incentive compensation and currency rate factors noted above, the increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in our provision for uncollectible accounts receivable of approximately $680. In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded approximately $340 of incremental reserves for bad debts, which compares to a net recovery of previously reserved amounts of approximately $340 in the first quarter of 2009.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the first quarter of 2010 increased $8 over the comparable periods in 2009. The increase in amortization expense reflects the impact of the changes in currency rates.

Interest Income

Consolidated net interest income was $71 in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to income of $143 in the first quarter of 2009. The decline in interest income reflects the lower interest rates paid on invested cash balances partially offset by higher average cash balances. Our average cash balance in the first quarter of 2010 of $71,861 was $14,339, or 25%, higher than in the first quarter of 2009.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense) primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ functional currencies, subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our export business in those countries and other miscellaneous non-operational, non-recurring expenses. Other income for the first quarter of 2010 was $60 and compares to other expense of $248 for the first quarter of 2009. The increase in other income (expense) primarily reflects lower exchange losses ($148 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $521 in the first quarter of 2009) and a decrease in $65 in other income mostly related to government subsidies.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2010 was $282, a decrease of $872 from the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in tax expense is attributable to a decline in pretax income partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 33% for the first quarter of 2010 and compares to 25% for the first quarter of 2009. The effective tax rate for both periods reflects our estimate of our full-year tax rate at the end of each respective period. The increase in the tax rate is primarily attributable to a reduction in pretax profits in tax jurisdictions that either have a lower statutory tax rate or have tax loss carryforwards that have been reserved. We believe that our effective tax rate may vary significantly quarter to quarter as actual earnings or losses are realized in countries with lower tax rates or with loss carryforwards that have been reserved.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our net cash balance was $76,120 at March 31, 2010, an increase of $8,519, or 13%, from $67,601 at December 31, 2009. The increase in cash from December 31, 2009 primarily reflects the collection of trade receivables partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

At March 31, 2010, we had working capital of $86,319, a $1,313 decrease, or 1%, from $87,632 reported at December 31, 2009. The decrease in working capital was primarily related to the impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Days sales outstanding (DSO) in net accounts receivable decreased to 83 days at March 31, 2010, from 88 days at December 31, 2009 The decrease in DSO primarily reflects the timing of when sales were made in the quarter.

EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,516 and $5,302, a decrease of $3,786, or 71%, from the same period of the prior year. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009 follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2010			2009
EBITDA	$	1,516		$	5,302

Interest income, net		71			143
Provision for income taxes		(282	)		(1,154	)
Depreciation and amortization		(732	)		(828	)

Net income	$	573		$	3,463

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

EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and the other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance. Similarly, our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which will be filed as part of our annual report on Form 10-K, provides the full accounting for how we have decided to use resources provided to us from our customers, lenders and shareholders.

We maintain a line of credit with Fortis Bank, SA/NV, Brussels, Zurich Branch. Under terms of the agreement, we can borrow an amount equal to 80% of our Belgium subsidiary’s defined accounts receivable up to a maximum of 5,000 Euros. Borrowing under the line of credit may be denominated in Euros, U.S. Dollars or Swiss Francs. If the borrowings are denominated in Euros, we are obligated to pay interest at the monthly average of the EONIA (Euro Over Night Index Average) plus 2.5% per year. If the borrowings are denominated in U.S. Dollars, we are obligated to pay interest at the U.S. Dollar Fed Fund Rate plus 2.5% per year. If the borrowings are denominated in Swiss Francs, we are obligated to pay interest at the Swiss National Bank Repo rate plus 2.5% per year. Either party can terminate the credit line with 14 days notice without penalty. If terminated, all borrowings under the line then outstanding would be due and payable. Fortis can also terminate the credit line immediately if VASCO fails to observe the specific terms of the credit line, becomes insolvent, ceases operation or experiences a change in control. We had no borrowings under the credit line at March 31, 2010.

While we believe that our financial resources and current borrowing arrangements are adequate to meet our operating needs over the next 12 months, we anticipate that the difficult current economic conditions that exist on a worldwide basis today may require us to modify our business plans. In the current economic environment there is an increased risk that customers may delay their orders until the economic conditions stabilize or improve. If a significant number of orders are delayed for an indefinite period of time, our revenue and cash receipts may not be sufficient to meet the operating needs of the business. If this is the case, we may need to borrow against our credit line, significantly reduce our workforce, sell certain of our assets, enter into strategic relationships or business combinations, discontinue some or all of our operations, or take other similar restructuring actions. While we expect that these actions would result in a reduction of recurring costs, they also may result in a reduction of recurring revenue and cash receipts. It is also likely that we would incur substantial non-recurring costs to implement one or more of these restructuring actions. For additional information related to risks, refer to Certain Factors noted in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Software

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements. ASU 2009-14 provides guidance to enable companies to determine if the products they sell should be accounted for as software under ASC 985-605. Arrangements that are no longer defined as software will be accounted for under ASC 605-25, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. Under ASU 2009-14, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality will no longer fall within the scope of ASC 985-605. ASU 2009-14, however, also indicates that the non-software elements of the tangible product must substantively contribute to the tangible product’s essential functionality and should not simply provide a mechanism to deliver the software to the customer. Companies that are affected by ASU 2009-14 are required to provide disclosures that are included within the amendments in ASU 2009-13, a discussion of which follows in this Form 10-Q.

Revenue Recognition

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. ASU 2009-13 amends the criteria in ASC 605-25 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and is expected to provide companies with the ability to separate deliverables in more circumstances than is allowed under current U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2009-13 establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is available. Under this update, the term fair value will be replaced with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant.

ASU 2009-13 also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price.

Both ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted and VASCO intends to adopt both Updates effective January 1, 2011. As a result of adoption of the Updates, we expect that:

The sales of some of our products will be defined as software sales and we will continue to account for those transactions using ASC 985-605. Sales of some of our other products, however, will no longer qualify as sales of software and will be accounted for under ASC 605-25.

For items continuing to be classified as software, we do not expect that the allocation of consideration will be significantly different than is currently the case as we have vendor-specific objective evidence for the most common types of undelivered items, such as maintenance and support. Further, we will continue to use the Residual Method to determine the value of delivered items with any discounts provided under these arrangements being fully allocated to the delivered items.

For sales of product that no longer qualify as software sales, we will allocate the arrangement consideration among each of the accounting units based on relative selling price of each of the units with any discount on the transaction being split proportionately between delivered and undelivered accounting units. We do not expect that the values determined from the allocation of purchase price among delivered and undelivered elements will be significantly different than those derived under our current accounting practices because, as noted above, we have vendor-specific objective evidence for the most common types of undelivered items and generally do not provide discounts that would significantly impact the value determined using VSOE.

As a result, we do not presently expect that the impact of adopting ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 will have a material impact on the amount, pattern or timing of revenue recognized.

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

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For additional information, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 4.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who, respectively, are our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
