General

 

We develop, market and support a family of network intrusion prevention and detection systems and regulated information compliance systems that address vital security issues facing organizations with mission critical business applications or housing classified, confidential, or customer information assets. We currently provide network security and regulated information compliance solutions under our SecureNet family of hardware and software solutions.

 

We market and distribute our products through a direct sales force to end-users, distributors and by numerous domestic and international system integrators, managed service providers and value-added resellers. Our end-user customers include high technology, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail, transportation, health care, insurance, entertainment, utilities and energy companies, government agencies, financial institutions, and academic institutions.

 

We were organized in Texas in September 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in October 1995. For more than 15 years, we provided local area networking equipment and were known as Optical Data Systems or ODS Networks. On April 17, 2000, we announced plans to sell, or otherwise dispose of, our networking divisions, which included our Essential Communications division (“Essential”) and our local area networking assets. In accordance with these plans, we have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations. On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com, Inc., and our NASDAQ ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on intrusion detection solutions. On November 1, 2001, we changed our name from Intrusion.com, Inc. to Intrusion Inc.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 East Arapaho Road, Richardson, Texas 75081, and our telephone number is (972) 234-6400.  Our website URL is www.intrusion.com.  References to “we”, “us”, “our” or “Intrusion Inc.” refer to Intrusion Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Recent Developments

 

On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants.  In the private placement, the company sold 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a price of $5.00 per share, which convert into 6,361,323 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.786 per share, and warrants to purchase 2,226,459 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.786 per share.  In connection with the closing of this private placement, we issued warrants to purchase 257,633 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.786 per share to our financial advisor for the private placement.

 

On March 18, 2004, at a special meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a four-for-one (4:1) reverse stock split of our common stock.  The reverse stock split will become effective on March 29, 2004.  All outstanding share numbers and related common stock numbers, such as earnings per share and outstanding options, included in this report are set forth on a pre-split basis.

Industry Background

 

In the last decade, network security has changed from being a technology deployed only by the government and the most sophisticated or most paranoid of companies, to technology employed by all sizes of business and a mandatory component of all mission critical systems. This change has come about with the permeation of the Internet as a business enabler. Today, email, instant messengers, World Wide Web access, web sites, web-based applications and e-commerce are integral components of communications and operations for business and government.

 

Although the Internet has many business advantages, its openness and accessibility makes it a potential threat to the networks and systems that are attached to it. Computer hackers, curious or disgruntled employees, competitors and innocent mistakes may compromise or destroy information assets or disrupt the normal operations and brand equity of the enterprise.

 

Enterprises are adopting a variety of security solutions to meet the challenge posed by external and internal threats. To be effective, organizations require enterprise-wide information risk management solutions that are broadly deployed and centrally managed. Organizations seek systems with the optimum combination of best-of-breed capabilities and total cost of ownership. Securing the enterprise network requires two key elements:

 

                                          Control: the ability to affect network traffic including access to the network or parts thereof in order to enforce a security policy.

 

                                          Visibility: the ability to see and understand the nature of the network and the traffic on the network, which assists in decision making as well as crafting and constant improvement of a security policy.

 

We focus on providing these two primary ingredients of network security within a single device for overall network security and for the protection of specific classified, confidential or customer information assets.

 

Network Intrusion Prevention and Detection Systems

 

Network Intrusion Prevention & Detection Systems (NIP&DS) analyze network traffic for attacks and can block threats from entering the network. They examine individual packets within the data stream to identify threats from authorized users, back-door attacks and hackers who have thwarted the firewall to exploit network connections, cause system outages and access information assets. NIP&DS provide insight into the nature and character of the network that can be used to:

 

                                          Identify threats in real time and block or terminate offending communications or simply alert administrators so that human intervention can protect the network;

 

                                          Increase the value and efficacy of the control systems like firewalls and routers with evidence of the efficacy of those systems; and

 

                                          Provide decision support for the altering of the enterprise security policy and network management.

 

Regulated Information Compliance Systems

 

Regulated Information Compliance Systems (RICS) build upon NIP&DS with the added capability to more deeply analyze traffic searching for classified, confidential or customer information assets. Working under the same management and monitoring umbrella of NIP&DS, RICS address data confidentiality, security and integrity issues facing industries subject to the Health Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act (GLBA), Sarbanes-Oxley, California Senate Bill 1386 (CA SB 1386) and others. These laws affect a broad range of both private and public entities, including those that maintain information that can personally identify a customer or patient and those that house both classified and unclassified information.  Penalties for non-compliance include fines, lawsuits, and business process reviews.

Our Solution and Products

 

Intrusion Inc. addresses the challenges of ensuring the confidentiality, security and integrity of electronic information assets by developing, marketing and supporting a family of NIP&DS and RICS for deployment by public and private enterprises, to include remote and branch offices, and for managed security service providers. We believe implementing adequate perimeter defenses and monitoring network traffic to “trust-but-verify” are critical elements for the protection of information assets and integrity.

 

Our SecureNet Network Systems

 

The Intrusion SecureNet System has two primary components, Sensors and the Management System.

 

Sensors are devices or software components that are connected to the network and monitor the traffic searching for matches to signatures as evidence of an external network attack or malicious use that could threaten information assets. Signatures are patterns, anomalies and traffic flows that match known attacks or indicate suspicious activities. When the Sensor matches traffic to a signature it will send an event to the Management System.

 

The Management System controls the Sensors and displays events produced by the Sensors.  Management is used for both configuration of the system and providing highly productive monitoring of the events produced by the system. Management is typically three-tier, where Sensors report to a centralized management system that has multiple analysts viewing the data. Management can also be a standalone system for small- and medium-businesses where configuration and monitoring are all done directly from the Sensor.

 

We have simplified deployment, management and monitoring to reduce the total cost of ownership for an easy to set up and manage enterprise system. To reduce barriers and provide complete enterprise integration, the Intrusion SecureNet system provides more customization and event flow options for high-end deployments.

 

Our SecureNet system is “plug-and-protect” and can be connected to any network without interfering with the network operations by using the Intrusion SecureNet passive and inline taps.

 

Intrusion SecureNet NIP&DS Products

 

We believe a primary advantage of the SecureNet NIP&DS is that with a single license purchase, the consumer may choose to deploy the system for intrusion prevention or intrusion detection, providing a superior level of flexibility and simple migration from passive detection to active prevention without additional licensing cost.

 

Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (NIPS) — Provide network monitoring and analysis functionality like an IDS, with the added ability to block malicious network traffic. IPS actively regulates inbound and outbound traffic based on specific users access while controlling what they can do with that access on a granular, per-conversation basis.

 

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) — Provide detection of specific exploit and misuse patterns in the traffic that the firewall allows.  IDS detect known exploits and misuse patterns, suspicious activities and anomalous traffic or behavior within both inbound and outbound traffic. This added visibility provides a checking mechanism for the efficacy of the firewall’s rule base.

 

Intrusion SecureNet network NIP&DS provide user customizable, protocol decode detection technology for up to Gigabit networks. While Intrusion SecureNet Sensors are in the top-tier of the market for detection and throughput technology, we believe one of the primary benefits provided by our NIP&DS products is to reduce the total cost of ownership to our customers.

The SecureNet NIP&DS product family provides intuitive and powerful data mining and configuration. Intrusion SecureNet Provider is the three-tier enterprise management and monitoring system. SecureNet Provider is for enterprise deployments with no license limitations placed on architecture, freeing the enterprise to build the management system required. SecureNet Provider follows the workflow of the security analyst with a highly productive environment for response, research, resolution and decision support. The SecureNet Provider suite includes applications for event monitoring, policy creation and tuning and centralized software deployment — making up the complete suite of tools required to manage and monitor a SecureNet System from five sensors to more than 100.

 

Our SecureNet Sensors have their own web browser interface for effortless configuration. SecureNet Sensors also deliver complete, stand-alone NIP&DS for the small and medium business with local management and monitoring. This allows customers to use their standard web browser to access a full power; full-features network NIP&DS, without additional hardware or software.

 

Our SecureNet NIP&DS Sensors are available as Software-Appliances and Hardware-Appliances with performance and pricing appropriate for networks ranging from 10Mb/s to Gigabit with a Common Criteria EAL2 certified Gigabit appliance.  The following is a list of our IPS and IDS products

Intrusion SecureNet RICS Products

 

RICS provide protection against the loss and misuse of regulated, classified and commercially sensitive data.  Loss of information assets that contain customer data has spawned a multitude of federal and state legislation to set a standard of care, use and protection for customer information.  Better known laws that regulate customer information include HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its UK equivalent Privacy Act of 1998, and California SB 1386.  Penalties for non-compliance include fines, lawsuits, imposed processes and enforced business limitations. Any enterprise that falls within the scope of these laws is now working under a timeline to demonstrate compliance.  In addition, both government and commercial institutions are becoming increasingly concerned about the misuse and loss of classified or commercially sensitive data, and are seeking proactive solutions to deal with these issues.

The Intrusion SecureNet RICS products leverage the same Management and Sensor components of the SecureNet NIP&DS products. Our SecureNet RICS solutions are currently designed to address the security and confidentiality issues in the following industries and customers:

 

                                          Department of defense to help prevent the leakage of classified information,

 

                                          Health care companies (including health care providers, insurance companies and medical equipment manufacturers) who are working to comply with HIPAA, and

 

                                          Financial institutions and e-commerce enterprises working to comply with the customer confidentiality provisions of GLBA and CA SB 1386.

 

The Intrusion SecureNet RICS products leverage the same Management and Sensor components of the SecureNet IDS AND IPS products. The SecureNet RICS is designed to address the [privacy, confidentiality and information security] concerns of the department of defense, health care vertical (including health care providers, insurance companies and medical equipment manufacturers), financial institutions and e-commerce.

 

SecureNet RICS solutions provide accuracy through our Dynamic Data Dictionary (D3) technology, which securely connects directly to a database housing the confidential, classified, or regulated information. The RICS stays up to date with the database to match network traffic to the information that is resident in the database. This provides an automated accurate mechanism to identify leaks and misuse of information assets.

 

The Intrusion SecureNet LPS, leak prevention system targets public and private enterprises with confidential and classified information. The first release specifically targets the U.S. department of defense and protecting against “spillage”, when classified information leaks to unclassified networks.

 

Third-Party Products

 

We believe that it is beneficial to work with third parties with complementary technologies to provide integrated solutions to our customers. As there is rapid technological advancement and significant consolidation in the network security industry, there can be no assurance that we will have access to all of the third-party products that may be desirable or for the term desirable to offer fully integrated solutions to our customers.

 

Customer Services

 

In addition to offering our network security products, we also offer a wide range of services, including design and configuration, project planning, training, installation and maintenance.

 

Product Development

 

The network security industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, standards, economy and customer demands. We believe that our future success depends in large part upon the timely enhancement of existing products as well as the development of technologically advanced new products that meet industry standards, perform successfully and simplify the user’s tasks so that they can do more with less resources, all to achieve market acceptance. We are currently marketing next-generation network NIP&DS products and RICS products and are developing products to meet emerging market requirements and are continuously engaged in testing to ensure that our products interoperate with other manufacturers’ products, which comply with industry standards.

 

During 2003, 2002 and 2001, our research and development expenditures were $3.5 million $6.1 million, and $12.5 million, respectively. All of our expenditures for hardware and software research and development costs have been expensed as incurred. At December 31, 2003, we had 15 employees engaged in research and product development.

Manufacturing and Supplies

 

Our operational strategy relies on the outsourcing of manufacturing components, assembly and certain other operations to reduce fixed costs and to provide flexibility in meeting market demand.

 

Our internal manufacturing operations consist primarily of replication of software on CDs, packaging, testing and quality control of finished units. Materials used in our manufacturing processes include semiconductors such as microprocessors, memory chips and application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), printed circuit boards, power supplies and enclosures.

 

Our external manufacturing operations consists primarily of hardware assembly and configuration and the loading of the appropriate software.

 

Intellectual Property and Licenses

 

Our success and our ability to compete are dependent, in part, upon our proprietary technology. While we have applied for certain patents, we currently rely on a combination of contractual rights, trade secrets and copyright laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. We have also entered into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers, resellers and certain customers to limit access to and disclosure of proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.

 

We have entered into software and product license agreements with various suppliers. These license agreements provide us with additional software and hardware components that add value to our security products. These license agreements do not provide proprietary rights that are unique or exclusive to us and are generally available to other parties on the same or similar terms and conditions, subject to payment of applicable license fees and royalties.

 

Sales, Marketing and Customers

 

Field Sales Force.   Our direct sales organization focuses on major account sales, channel partners including distributors, Value Added Resellers (“VARs”) and integrators; promotes our products to current and potential customers; and monitors evolving customer requirements. The field sales and technical support force provides training and technical support to our resellers and end users and assists our customers to design secure data networking solutions.

 

We currently conduct sales and marketing efforts from our principal office in Richardson (Dallas), Texas and through foreign sales offices located in the following countries: England, France and Malaysia.  In addition, we have sales personnel, sales engineers or sales representatives located in Los Angeles, Eastern Europe and Spain.

 

Distributors.   We have signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of our products. Under these agreements, we provide certain protection to the distributors for their inventory of our products for price reductions as well as products that are slow moving or have been discontinued. Recognition of sales to distributors and related gross profits are deferred until the distributors resell the merchandise. However, since we have legally sold the inventory to the distributor and we no longer have care, custody or control over the inventory, we recognize the trade accounts receivable and reduce inventory related to the sale at the time of shipment to the distributor.

 

Resellers.   Domestic and international system integrators and VARs (collectively, “resellers”) sell our products as stand-alone solutions to end users and integrate our products with products sold by other vendors into network security systems that are sold to end users. Our field sales force and technical support organization provide support to these resellers. Our agreements with resellers are non-exclusive, and our resellers generally sell other products that may compete with our products. Resellers may place higher priority on products of other suppliers who are larger than and have more name recognition than us, and there can be no assurance that resellers will continue to sell and support our products.

 

8



 

Foreign Sales.   We believe that rapidly evolving international markets are important sources of future net sales. Our export sales are currently being made through a direct sales force supplemented by international resellers in Europe, Asia and Canada.  Export sales accounted for approximately 31.4%, 33.4% and 36.4% of net sales in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in this report for a geographic breakdown of our product revenue in 2003, 2002 and 2001. Sales to foreign customers and resellers generally have been made in United States dollars.

 

Marketing.   We have implemented several methods to market our products, including public relations and placed articles, regular participation in and presenting during trade shows and seminars, advertisement in trade journals, telemarketing, distribution of sales literature and product specifications and ongoing communication with our resellers and installed base of end-user customers.

 

Customers.   Our end-user customers include manufacturing, high technology, telecommunications, retail, transportation, health care, insurance, entertainment, utilities and energy companies, government agencies, financial institutions and academic institutions. Sales to certain customers and groups of customers can be impacted by seasonal capital expenditure approval cycles, and sales to customers within certain geographic regions can be subject to seasonal fluctuations in demand.

 

Although we sell our products to many customers, through various distribution channels, no one customer or reseller accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in any of the past three fiscal years.

 

However, in 2003, 17.0% of our revenue was derived from the sales to a variety of U.S. government entities through system integrators and resellers.  The loss of sales to the various U.S. government agencies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results if not replaced.  No other customer accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in 2003, 2002 or 2001, respectively.

 

Backlog.   We believe that only a small portion of our order backlog is non-cancelable and that the dollar amount associated with the non-cancelable portion is immaterial. We purchase inventory based upon our forecast of customer demand and maintain inventories of sub-assemblies and finished products in advance of receiving firm orders from customers. Orders are generally fulfilled within two days to two weeks following receipt of an order. Due to the generally short cycle between order and shipment and occasional customer-initiated changes in delivery schedules or cancellation of orders that are made without significant penalty, we do not believe that our backlog as of any particular date is indicative of future net sales.

 

Customer Support, Service and Warranty.   We service, repair and provide technical support for our products. Our field sales and technical support force works closely with resellers and end-user customers on-site and by telephone to assist with pre- and post-sales support services such as network security design, system installation and technical consulting. By working closely with our customers, our employees increase their understanding of end-user requirements and provide input to the product development process.

 

We warrant all of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for periods ranging from 90 days to 12 months. Before and after expiration of the product warranty period, we offer both on-site and factory-based support, parts replacement and repair services. Extended warranty services are separately invoiced on a time and materials basis or under an annual maintenance contract.

 

Competition

 

The market for network security solutions is intensely competitive and subject to frequent product introductions with new technologies, improved price and performance characteristics. Industry suppliers compete in areas such as conformity to existing and emerging industry standards, interoperability with networking and other security products, management and security capabilities, performance, price, ease of use, scalability, reliability, flexibility, product features and technical support. We believe that our approach focusing on the network perimeters with market leading network intrusion detection technology that reduces the total cost of ownership compared to the competition provides us with an advantage with large organizations with complex security requirements.

 

9



 

There are numerous companies competing in various segments of the data security markets. Our principle competitors in the network intrusion prevention and detection market include Internet Security Systems, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Symantec, Inc., Netscreen Technologies, Inc., Network Associates, Inc., Tipping Point Technologies Inc., and NFR Security, Inc.  Our competitors in the regulated information compliance market include a small number of start up companies that entered the space within the last two-years. Several of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, better name recognition and a larger customer base than we do. In addition, many of our competitors may provide a more comprehensive networking and security solution than we currently offer. Even if we do introduce advanced products, which meet evolving customer requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that our new products will gain market acceptance.

 

Certain companies in the network security industry have expanded their product lines or technologies in recent years as a result of acquisitions. Further, more companies have developed products which conform to existing and emerging industry standards and have sought to compete on the basis of price. We anticipate increased competition from large networking equipment vendors, which are expanding their capabilities in the network security market. In addition, we anticipate increased competition from private “start-up” companies that have developed or are developing advanced security products. Increased competition in the security industry could result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future with current or new competitors.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2003, we employed a total of 44 persons, including 17 in sales, marketing and technical support, 3 in manufacturing and operations, 15 in research and product development and 9 in administration and finance.

 

None of our employees are represented by a labor organization, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

 

Competition in the recruiting of personnel in the networking and data security industry is intense. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate and retain qualified management, sales and marketing, and technical personnel. To date, we have not experienced significant difficulties in attracting or retaining qualified employees.

 

Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

 

In addition to the other information in this Form 10-K, the following factors should be considered in evaluating Intrusion Inc. and our business.  This report may include various non-GAAP financial measures (as defined by SEC Regulation G), including our cash used in operations excluding costs associated with a litigation settlement and severance charges.  Our management believes these measures provide useful information to investors about our financial condition and results of operations for the period presented by eliminating the affects of one-time and other transactions that can distort underlying operational results in order to provide greater comparability of our financial performance on a year-to-year basis.

Sufficiency of Cash Flow.   As of December 31, 2003, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments in the amount of approximately $2.7 million, down from approximately $10.7 million as of December 31, 2002.  However, throughout 2003, we reduced expenses.  As a result, our cash used in operations, net of the litigation settlement and severance charges, for the fourth quarter was approximately $1.4 million.  Including litigation settlement and severance charges, our cash used in operation in the fourth quarter of 2003 was $1.9 million.  On March 25, 2004, we closed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants.  With this additional financing, we believe that we have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months.  The sufficiency of our cash resources may depend to a certain extent on general economic, financial, competitive or other factors beyond our control.  Moreover, despite actions to reduce our cost and improve our profitability, we expect our operating losses and net operating cash outflows to continue through at least the first half of 2004.  We do not currently have any further arrangements for financing, and we may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding.  If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and sufficient financings are not available, we may not be able to operate or grow our business, pay our expenses when due or fund our other liquidity needs.

 

Technological Changes.   The market for our products is characterized by frequent product introductions, rapidly changing technology and continued evolution of new industry standards. The market for security products requires our products to be compatible and interoperable with products and architectures offered by various vendors, including other security products, networking products, workstation and personal computer architectures and computer and network operating systems. Our success will depend to a substantial degree upon our ability to develop and introduce in a timely manner new products and enhancements to our existing products that meet changing customer requirements and evolving industry standards. The development of technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market and support new or enhanced products successfully in a timely manner. Further, we or our competitors may introduce new products or product enhancements that shorten the life cycle of or obsolete our existing product lines, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Market Acceptance.   We are pursuing a strategy to increase the percentage of our revenue generated through indirect sales channels including distributors, VARs, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers and managed service providers. There can be no assurance that our products will gain market acceptance in these indirect sales channels. Further, competition among security companies to sell products through these indirect sales channels could result in significant price competition and reduced profit margins.

 

We are also pursuing a strategy to further differentiate our product line by introducing complementary security products and incorporating new technologies into our existing product line. There can be no assurance that we will successfully introduce these products or that such products will gain market acceptance. We anticipate competition from networking companies, network security companies and others in each of our product lines. We anticipate that profit margins will vary among our product lines and that product mix fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our overall profit margins.

 

Acquisitions.   Some of our competitors have acquired several security companies with complementary technologies, and we anticipate that such acquisitions will continue in the future. These acquisitions may permit such competitors to accelerate the development and commercialization of broader product lines and more comprehensive solutions than we currently offer. In the past, we have relied upon a combination of internal product development and partnerships with other security vendors to provide competitive solutions to customers. Certain of the recent and future acquisitions by our competitors may have the effect of limiting our access to commercially significant technologies. Further, the business combinations and acquisitions in the security industry are creating companies with larger market shares, customer bases, sales forces, product offerings and technology and marketing expertise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in such an environment.

 

11



 

We have made acquisitions in the past, and we may, in the future, acquire or invest in additional companies, business units, product lines, or technologies to accelerate the development of products and sales channels complementary to our existing products and sales channels. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: difficulties in assimilation of operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies; risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions; the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; and the diversion of our attention from normal daily operation of our business. There can be no assurance that any other acquisition or investment will be consummated or that such acquisition or investment will be realized.

 

Product Transitions.   Once current security products have been in the market place for a period of time and begin to be replaced by higher performance products (whether of our design or a competitor’s design), we expect the net sales of such products to decrease. In order to achieve revenue growth in the future, we will be required to design, develop and successfully commercialize higher performance products in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce new products and gain market acceptance quickly enough to avoid adverse revenue transition patterns during current or future product transitions. Nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by competitors, which could render portions of our inventory obsolete.

 

Manufacturing and Suppliers.   Our operational strategy relies on outsourcing of product assembly and certain other operations. There can be no assurance that we will effectively manage our third-party contractors or that these contractors will meet our future requirements for timely delivery of products of sufficient quality and quantity. Further, we intend to introduce a number of new products and product enhancements in 2004 that will require that we rapidly achieve volume production of those new products by coordinating our efforts with those of our suppliers and contractors. The inability of the third-party contractors to provide us with adequate supplies of high-quality products could cause a delay in our ability to fulfill orders and could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

All of the materials used in our products are purchased under contracts or purchase orders with third parties. While we believe that many of the materials used in the production of our products are generally readily available from a variety of sources, certain components such as microprocessors and motherboards are available from one or a limited number of suppliers. The lead times for delivery of components vary significantly and can exceed twelve weeks for certain components. If we should fail to forecast our requirements accurately for components, we may experience excess inventory or shortages of certain components that could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, any interruption in the supply of any of these components, or the inability to procure these components from alternative sources at acceptable prices within a reasonable time, could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

Intellectual Property and Licenses.   There are many patents held by companies, which relate to the design and manufacture of network security systems. The holders of those patents could assert potential claims of infringement. We could incur substantial costs in defending our company and our customers against any such claim regardless of the merits of such claims. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties.  There can be no assurance that we could obtain the necessary licenses on reasonable terms.

 

Dependence on Check Point Technologies.   Our PDS family of security appliances, which are integrated with Check Point Software Technologies’ VPN-1®/FireWall-1® software, represents 16.7% of our 2003 sales, which is down from 29.1% of our sales in 2002. We expect that the percentage of PDS family sales will continue to decrease as we move away from the Check Point Software Technologies solutions.  Our long-term plans are for a continued decline in revenue from the PDS family of products.  Our reliance on newer product sales may not replace the anticipated decline in revenue of the PDS family product sales.  Although we are a certified appliance partner of Check Point and our PDS products have received certification from Check Point, we have no long-term agreement or exclusive relationship with Check Point.  As a result, the loss or significant change in our relationship with Check Point, the failure of future PDS products to receive Check Point certification, the business failure of Check Point or its acquisition by or of one of our competitors, and the loss of market share of Check Point or market acceptance of its products could each have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

12



 

Third-Party Products.   We believe that it is beneficial to work with third parties with complementary technologies to broaden the appeal of our security products. These alliances allow us to provide integrated solutions to our customers by combining our developed technology with third-party products. As there is rapid technological advancement and significant consolidation in the network security industry, there can be no assurance that we will have access to all of the third-party products that may be desirable or for the term desirable to offer fully integrated solutions to our customers.

 

Dependence on Key Customers.   In the past, a relatively small number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of our revenue. Although no single customer currently accounts for more than 10% of our revenue, we expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our net revenue from sales to U.S. government agencies, large system integrators and managed service providers. We continuously face competition from Internet Security Systems, Cisco, Enterasys, NFR, IBM, Hewlett Packard and others for U.S. government security projects and corporate security installations. Any reduction or delay in sales of our products to these customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

International Operations.   Foreign sales accounted for approximately 31.4% of our revenue in 2003, and we expect sales to foreign customers to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues in the future.  Our international operations may be affected by changes in demand resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates and local purchasing practices, including seasonal fluctuations in demand, as well as by risks such as increases in duty rates, difficulties in distribution, regulatory approvals and other constraints upon international trade. Our sales to foreign customers are subject to export regulations. In particular, certain sales of our data security products require clearance and export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce under these regulations. Any inability to obtain such clearances or any required foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

Impact of Government Customers.   For the fiscal year ended December 31 2003, 17.0% of our revenue was derived from sales to various U.S. government entities, either directly by us or through system integrators and other resellers, compared to 20% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, and 2.6% of our revenue for 2003 was derived from sales to foreign government entities as compared to 0.4% for 2002. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruption due to appropriation and spending patterns and the government’s reservation of the right to cancel contracts and purchase order for its convenience.

 

Effects of Military Actions.   United States military actions or other events occurring in response or in connection to them, including future terrorist attacks against United States targets, actual conflicts involving the United States or its allies or military or trade disruptions could impact our operations, including by:

 

                                          Reducing government or corporate spending on network security products;

 

                                          Increasing the cost and difficulty in obtaining materials or shipping products; and

 

                                          Affecting our ability to conduct business internationally.

 

Should such events occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Restructuring and Cost Reductions.   We continued with our restructuring plan in 2003, which resulted in $0.5 million in severance charges. The objective of our restructuring plan was to reduce our cost structure to a sustainable level that is consistent with the current macroeconomic environment. We also implemented other strategic initiatives designed to strengthen our operations. These plans involved, among other things, reductions in our workforce and facilities, aligning our organization around our business objectives, realignment of our research and development team, our sales force and changes in our sales management.  Any further workforce reductions could result in temporary reduced productivity of our remaining employees.  Additionally, our customers and prospects may delay or forgo purchasing our products due to a perceived uncertainty caused by the restructuring and other changes. Failure to achieve the desired results of our initiatives could seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Potential Nasdaq Delisting.   On August 12, 2002, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company’s Common Stock had not maintained the required minimum bid price per share for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq National Market and was granted a 90-day extension until November 11, 2002 to regain compliance.  The Company failed to remedy the deficiency and, on November 4, 2002, filed an application to transfer the listing of its Common Stock from The Nasdaq National Market to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  The Company’s Common Stock began trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market on December 4, 2002.  In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was granted the remainder of a 180-day grace period afforded to Nasdaq SmallCap issuers, which expired on February 10, 2003.  At that time, the Company was granted an additional 180-day grace period to remedy the bid price deficiency which expired on August 7, 2003, after which, Nasdaq granted the Company a final 90-day extension through November 5, 2003 to regain compliance.  On November 6, 2003, the Company received a delisting notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company’s Common Stock would be delisted at the close of business on November 17, 2003 because the Company had not regained compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement.

 

On November 13, 2003, the Company appealed Nasdaq’s delisting determination and presented its appeal on December 18, 2003 to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.  On January 16, 2004, the Listing Qualifications Panel determined that the Company had presented a definitive plan for compliance with continued listing requirements and continued the listing of the Company’s Common Stock as a conditional listing (which added the letter “C” to the end of its trading symbol) pursuant to a series of exceptions:  (1) seeking stockholder approval in a public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and Nasdaq for a reverse split to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement; (2) demonstrating a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share by April 2, 2004 and maintaining the same for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days thereafter; (3) on or before March  30, 2004, filing its annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC and Nasdaq evidencing stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million; and (4) on or before May 15, 2004, filing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2004 with the SEC and Nasdaq evidencing stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million.

 

In order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, at a special meeting on March 18, 2004, our stockholders approved a four-for-one (4:1) reverse split of our common stock, which will become effective on March 29, 2004.  However, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have the desired consequences.  Specifically, there can be no assurance that, before the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the market price of our common stock will not decrease to a price requiring a ratio greater than four-for-one (4:1) or that, after the reverse stock split, the market price of our common stock will increase by a multiple equal to the ratio of the reverse stock split or result in the sustained increase in the market price which is required to regain and maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  In particular in order to comply with the conditions on compliance imposed by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, our common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share by April 2, 2004 and maintain the same for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days thereafter.  Nasdaq may also require that the Company’s Common Stock maintain a bid price of a least $1.00 for a period longer than ten days in order to evidence the Company’s ability to achieve long-term compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

 

Moreover, Nasdaq has broad authority to determine compliance and continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  Therefore, even we are able to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance with all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in the future.  If we are unable to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or fail to comply with other Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our common stock likely would trade in a less efficient market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets” maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.  Because these alternatives generally are considered to be less efficient markets, our stock price, the liquidity of our common stock and our general business reputation may be adversely impacted.

 

14



 

Reverse Stock Split .  As a result of our pending reverse stock split, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed reverse stock split.  In the future, if a price of a share of our common stock declines after the reverse stock split, this will have a detrimental impact on our market capitalization, the market value of the our public float and the value of shares of our common stock. Furthermore, if the market price of a share of our common stock decreases after the reverse stock split, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than what would have occurred in the absence of the reverse stock split.

 

Private Placement.   On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants.  In the private placement, the company sold 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a price of $5.00 per share, which convert into 6,361,323 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.786 per share, and warrants to purchase 2,226,459 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.786 per share.  In connection with the closing of this private placement, we issued warrants to purchase 257,633 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.786 per share to our financial advisor for the private placement.  As a result, the private placement is expected to result in dilution upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants of 8,845,415 shares of common stock or an approximate 42.8% increase in the number of shares of common stock currently outstanding.

 

In addition, we have agreed to register the sale of the shares of our common stock underlying the preferred stock and warrants.  Upon the effectiveness of registration statement covering these shares, the holders of the preferred stock and warrants will be able to freely convert their preferred stock and exercise their warrants and sell their shares of common stock.  For the four weeks ended on March 19, 2004, the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was 486,100 shares.  As a result, if holders of preferred stock and warrants elect to convert their shares and exercise their warrants and sell a material amount of their shares of common stock on the open market, the increase selling activity could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.  These sales, or the potential for these sales, could encourage short sales, causing additional downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.

 

General.   Sales of our products fluctuate, from time to time, based on numerous factors, including customers’ capital spending levels and general economic conditions. While certain industry analysts believe that there is a significant market for network security products, there can be no assurance as to the rate or extent of the growth of such market or the potential adoption of alternative technologies. Future declines in network security product sales as a result of general economic conditions; adoption of alternative technologies or any other reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Due to the factors noted above and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, our future earnings and common stock price may be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. Past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Any shortfall in revenue and earnings from the levels anticipated by securities analysts could have an immediate and significant effect on the trading price of our common stock in any given period. Also, we participate in a highly dynamic industry, which often results in volatility of our common stock price.

 

Item 2 .    Properties.

 

Our headquarters are located in a two-story building in Richardson, Texas, with an aggregate of approximately 95,000 square feet of floor space. This facility includes our corporate administration, operations, marketing, research and development, sales and technical support personnel. We occupy this facility under a lease, the base term of which expires in February 2005, with two seven-year options to extend the lease term, subject to compliance with certain conditions.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we successfully renegotiated our lease agreement for our headquarters in Richardson, Texas, which decreased the amount of square feet we lease and extended the lease term for an additional five years.  According to the new lease agreement, our Richardson, Texas headquarters will be located in the same building.  However, we will lease approximately 30,000 square feet of floor space and the term of our lease will expire in February 2010.

 

15



 

Personnel of Essential were located in a 15,120 square foot leased property in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The lease was scheduled to expire in February 2009. In March 2002, we sold the assets of Essential (see Discontinued Operations). A condition of the sale was to give Essential personnel 60 days to exit the facility. Included in the total $0.4 million gain on the sale of Essential in March 2002 was a $0.3 million reserve to terminate the lease, which is the equivalent of 2 years’ lease and maintenance of the facility. Successful termination of the Essential lease for less than $0.3 million resulted in a $0.1 million gain on disposition during the fourth quarter of 2002, for a total gain on Discontinued Operations for 2002 of $0.5 million.

 

Approximately one-half of our security software research and development staff is located in a 6,464 square foot leased property in San Diego, California.  This lease was renewed in August 2002 and will expire in August of 2004.  Research and development personnel occupy this facility.

 

In addition, we lease small amounts of office space for sales and technical support personnel domestically and internationally in England, France, Germany and Malaysia. We believe that the existing facilities at December 31, 2003 will be adequate to meet our requirements through 2004.  See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our obligations under leases.

 

Item 3 .    Legal Proceedings.

 

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  We do not believe that any claims exist where the outcome of such matters would have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows.  However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact on future results.

 

Item 4 .    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

There were no matters submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

PART II

 

Item 5 .    Market for Intrusion’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

Prior to December 4, 2002, our common stock traded on The Nasdaq National Market.  Since that time our common stock has traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, where it is currently listed under the symbol “INTZC”, subject to the conditional listing parameters explained in Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations.  As of February 10, 2004, there were approximately 213 registered holders of record of the common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low per share intra-day sales prices for the common stock, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market.

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock in our two most recent fiscal years. We currently retain any earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends on common stock, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors.  However, our 5% Convertible Preferred Stock accrues cash dividends equal to $0.25 per share per annum.  These dividends are payable in arrears, on March 31 and September 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2004.

Item 7 .    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

This Annual Report, other than historical information, may include forward-looking statements, including statements with respect to financial results, product introductions, market demand, sales channels, industry trends, sufficiency of cash resources and certain other matters. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including those discussed in the section entitled “Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations” in Item 1 and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This report may include various non-GAAP financial measures (as defined by SEC Regulation G), including our cash used in operations excluding costs associated with a litigation settlement and severance charges.  Our management believes these measures provide useful information to investors about our financial condition and results of operations for the period presented by eliminating the affects of one-time and other transactions that can distort underlying operational results in order to provide greater comparability of our financial performance on a year-to-year basis. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciliation of the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the test of this report and our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

 

Overview

 

We develop, market and support a family of network intrusion prevention and detection systems and regulated information compliance systems that address vital security issues facing organizations with mission critical business applications or housing classified, confidential, or customer information assets. We currently provide network security and regulated information compliance solutions under our SecureNet family of hardware and software solutions.  On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com Inc. and our NASDAQ ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on intrusion detection solutions. On November 1, 2001, we changed our name from Intrusion.com, Inc. to Intrusion Inc. During the second quarter of 2000, we announced our plan to sell, or otherwise dispose of, our networking divisions, which included our Essential Communications division and our local area networking assets, and began accounting for these networking divisions as discontinued operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring, maintenance contracts and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

19



 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment of product. We accrue for estimated warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment based on our experience. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized over the contractual period the services are performed. To date, warranty costs and sales returns have not been material. There is a risk that technical issues on new products could result in unexpected warranty costs and returns.

 

We recognize software revenue from the licensing of our software products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition”, SOP 98-9 “Modification of 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions” and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” whereby revenue from the licensing of our products is not recognized until all four of the following have been met: i) execution of a written purchase order, license agreement or contract; ii) shipment of the product has occurred; iii) the license fee is fixed and determinable; and iv) collectibility is probable. We defer and recognize maintenance and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year.

 

We have signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of our products. Under these agreements, we provide certain protection to the distributors for their inventory of our products for price reductions as well as products that are slow moving or have been discontinued by us. Recognition of sales to distributors and related gross profits are deferred until the distributors resell the merchandise. However, since we have legally sold the inventory to the distributor and we no longer have care, custody or control over the inventory, we recognize the trade accounts receivable and reduce inventory related to the sale at the time of shipment to the distributor. Revenue, offset by deferred cost of sales, is included in deferred revenue in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), which requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Instead, SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS 142, annually thereafter, and upon the occurrence of any event that indicates potential impairments.

 

In accordance with SFAS 142, we discontinued recording goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002.

 

SFAS 142 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for potential impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures the impairment. Goodwill is potentially impaired if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. We have determined that we have one reporting unit. This methodology differs from the Company’s previous policy, as permitted under accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if goodwill is recoverable.

 

The Company elected to perform its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002. In connection with our annual impairment review, we determined that the value of goodwill was impaired. At the time of our impairment review, the remaining goodwill of $0.4 million was associated with the MimeStar purchase transaction. Based on the decline in the market value of the Company as indicated by the decline in its stock price over the last year, it was determined that the goodwill carrying value should be zero at December 31, 2002. Therefore, an impairment charge of $0.4 million was recorded and is included in impairment of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

20



 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” (“SFAS 121”) and accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations,” for a disposal of a segment. The primary objective of SFAS 144 is to develop one accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held for sale. SFAS 144 also requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date. Our adoption of SFAS 144 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

We review long-lived assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include material adverse changes in operations, significant adverse differences in actual results in comparison with initial valuation forecasts prepared at the time of acquisition, a decision to abandon acquired products, services or technologies, or other significant adverse changes that would indicate the carrying amount of the recorded asset might not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted pre tax future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

 

As a result of the write-off of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2002, we determined that a triggering event indicating potential impairment of the associated intangibles had occurred. At December 31, 2002, the remaining intangibles of $2.6 million principally included purchased software associated with our acquisition of MimeStar, Inc.. We determined that the undiscounted pre tax cash flows associated with this software was not likely to exceed the remaining carrying values. Due to technological changes that had taken place with respect to the core software code acquired, it was determined that the carrying value should be zero at December 31, 2002. Therefore, an impairment charge of $2.6 million was recorded and is included in impairment of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Returns

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

Inventory

 

We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

2003 compared with 2002

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue decreased 17.3% to $6.5 million in 2003 from $7.8 million in 2002. The decrease in net revenue is primarily due to our shift in focus to higher margin NIP&DS products, the decline in sales of our SecureCom and other products, coupled with a longer sales cycle related to our newer products. In addition, worldwide economic conditions in 2003 negatively impacted our sales of SecureNet network intrusion detection products and PDS security appliance products.

 

Export sales in 2003 decreased to $2.0 million, or 31.4% of net sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 33.4% of net revenue in 2002 primarily due to a continued economic decline and decrease in international technology spending.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased 47.6% to $2.5 million in 2003 from $1.7 million in 2002. As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit increased to 38.4% for 2003 from 21.5% in 2002. This increase is primarily associated with a more profitable product mix in 2003.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, sales volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, pricing strategies, and fluctuations in sales of integrated third-party products.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 47.2% to $6.2 million in 2003 from $11.8 million in 2002 as we restructured our sales force, including headcount reductions, to respond to the decline in sales. As a percentage of net revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 96.2% in 2003 from 150.5% in 2002. We expect sales and marketing expenses to decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 as we recognize the full benefit from restructuring actions taken throughout 2002, 2003 and early 2004. We also expect sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, to decrease in 2004 compared to 2003.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses decreased 42.5% to $3.5 million, or 54.0% of net revenue, in 2003 compared to $6.1 million, or 77.7% of net revenue, in 2002 as we reduced headcount in our engineering department to respond to the decline in sales and eliminated engineering efforts with regards to our SecureCom product family. Our research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. We expect research and development expenses to decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 as we recognize the full benefit from restructuring actions taken throughout 2002 and 2003.  We expect research and development, as a percentage of net revenue, also to decrease in 2004 compared to 2003.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses, excluding amortization, impairment, severance and litigation settlement expenses, decreased 36.6% to $1.6 million in 2003 from $2.6 million in 2002 as we reduced headcount in our support functions to reduce costs.  As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 25.2% in 2003 from 32.9% in 2002.  We also expect general and administration expenses to decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 as we recognize the full benefit of restructuring actions taken throughout 2002 and 2003.

 

23



 

Amortization and Impairment of Intangibles

 

Due to the impairment charge taken during 2002 to write all intangible assets down to zero at December 31, 2002, no amortization expense or impairment was recognized during 2003.  Amortization of intangibles was $0.8 million in 2002 prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, whereby goodwill was not amortized throughout the year. We took an impairment charge during December 2002 to write all intangible assets related to our acquisition of MimeStar, Inc. down to zero as a result of our annual SFAS 142 goodwill impairment test and other impairment reviews conducted during the fourth quarter of 2002. The total charge for the write-down was $3.0 million. Total amortization and charges for impairment was $3.8 million for 2002.

 

Litigation Settlement

 

During the third quarter of 2003, Intrusion settled a pending lawsuit with Morgan Newton.  As a result of the settlement, Intrusion paid $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2003 to fully satisfy this claim.  There is no other litigation pending against Intrusion.  There was no litigation settlement charge in 2002.

 

Severance Costs

 

In connection with our continued shift to our new intrusion detection and security appliance product lines during 2003, and as such, we streamlined operations and activities that are not aligned with these core markets and strategies. We recorded severance charges of $0.5 million for severance as a result of reductions in force.  All severance obligations related to the 2003 charge were paid prior to December 31, 2003 and we were not receiving any benefits from those severed individuals after December 31, 2003.

 

Pursuant to the restructuring action discussed above and those taken in 2002, we reduced operating expenses, excluding severance charges, litigation settlement charges, impairment charges and amortization, 26.2% from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. Comparing first quarter 2003 to fourth quarter 2003 operating expense categories, sales and marketing reduced 39.3% from $1.9 million to $1.1 million; research and development reduced 11.8% from $0.9 million to $0.8 million and general and administrative remained constant at $0.4 million per quarter throughout the year.

 

Interest Income, Net

 

Net interest income decreased 48.1% to $0.2 million in 2003 from $0.4 million in 2002 primarily due to a decrease in average cash and interest- bearing investment balances and lower interest rates. We do not expect net interest income to decrease in 2004 compared to 2003 as we expect our average cash and interest-bearing investment balances to increase in 2004 when compared to 2002, related to our private placement in the first quarter of 2004 and an expected increase in revenue in 2004.  However, we do expect interest rates to remain low, resulting in a lower return on investment. Net interest income will vary in the future based on our cash flow and rate of return on investments.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate was 0% in 2003 as a valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire amount of the net deferred tax asset due to uncertainty of realization.  Our effective income tax rate was an income tax benefit of 2.9% in 2002.  We have fully utilized our net operating loss carryback.

 

24



 

2002 compared with 2001

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenue decreased 53.0% to $7.8 million in 2002 from $16.7 million in 2001. The decrease in net revenue is primarily due to the decline in sales of SecureCom and other products, which are approaching end-of-life, coupled with a longer sales cycle related to our newer products. In addition, worldwide economic conditions in 2002 negatively impacted our sales of SecureNet network intrusion detection products and PDS security appliance products.

 

Export revenue in 2003 decreased to $2.6 million, or 33.4% of net revenue, compared to $6.1 million, or 36.4% of net revenue in 2002 primarily due to a continued economic decline and decrease in technology spending.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit decreased 47.2% to $1.7 million in 2002 from $3.2 million in 2001. As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit increased to 21.5% for 2002 from 19.1% in 2001. This increase is primarily associated with a more profitable product mix in 2002.

 

Cost of revenue in 2002 includes a $1.0 million fourth quarter write-off of SecureCom inventory as demand has shifted to our new intrusion detection and security appliance product lines. Absent of this write-off, gross profit would have been $2.7 million or 33.8% as a percentage of net revenue.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is impacted by several factors, including shifts in product mix, changes in channels of distribution, sales volume, fluctuations in manufacturing costs, pricing strategies, and fluctuations in sales of integrated third-party products.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 50.0% to $11.8 million in 2002 from $23.6 million in 2001 as we restructured our sales force, including headcount reductions, to respond to the decline in sales. As a percentage of net revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 150.5% in 2002 from 141.1% in 2001. We expect sales and marketing expenses to decrease in 2003 compared to 2002 as we recognize the full benefit from restructuring actions taken throughout 2002 and early 2003. We also expect sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of net revenue, to decrease in 2003 compared to 2002.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses decreased 51.5% to $6.1 million, or 77.7% of net revenue, in 2002 compared to $12.5 million, or 75.2% of net revenue, in 2001 as we reduced headcount in our engineering department to respond to the decline in sales and eliminated engineering efforts with regards to our SecureCom product family. Our research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. We expect research and development expenses to decrease in 2003 compared to 2002 as we recognize the full benefit from restructuring actions taken throughout 2002 and early in 2003. In addition, the lease agreement for our research and development facility in San Diego, California was renewed in September 2002 at a lower monthly rate for fewer square feet to accommodate the reduction in our research and development workforce. We expect research and development, as a percentage of net revenue, to decrease in 2003 compared to 2002.

 

25



 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses, excluding amortization expenses, decreased 42.5% to $2.6 million in 2002 from $4.5 million in 2001 as we reduced headcount in our support functions to reduce costs. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 32.9% in 2002 from 26.9% in 2001. We expect general and administration expenses to decrease in 2003 compared to 2002 as we recognize the full benefit of restructuring actions taken throughout 2002 and early in 2003. In addition to the restructuring impact, amortization expense of $0.8 million incurred in 2002 related to the intangible assets that were written off in December 2002 will not be incurred in 2003.

 

Amortization and Impairment of Intangibles

 

Amortization of intangibles decreased 35.3% to $0.8 million in 2002 from approximately $1.2 million in 2001, due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 whereby goodwill was not amortized throughout the year. We took an impairment charge during December 2002 to write all intangible assets related to our acquisition of MimeStar, Inc. down to zero as a result of our annual SFAS 142 goodwill impairment test and other impairment reviews conducted during the fourth quarter. The total charge for the write-down was $3.0 million. Total amortization and charges for impairment was $3.8 million for 2002.

 

Restructuring Costs

 

In connection with our continued shift to our new intrusion detection and security appliance product lines during 2002, and as such, we streamlined operations and activities that are not aligned with these core markets and strategies. We recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million for severance as a result of reductions in force. All severance obligations related to the 2002 restructuring charge were paid prior to December 31, 2002 and we were not receiving any benefits from those severed individuals after December 31, 2002.

 

Pursuant to the restructuring action discussed above and those taken in 2001, we reduced operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges and amortization, 37.3% from $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Comparing first quarter 2002 to fourth quarter 2002 operating expense categories, sales and marketing reduced 44.1% from $3.9 million to $2.2 million, research and development reduced 29.4% from $1.9 million to $1.3 million and general and administrative reduced 21.0% from $0.7 million to $0.6 million, respectively.

 

Interest Income, Net

 

Net interest income decreased 79.2% to $0.4 million in 2002 from $1.7 million in 2001 primarily due to a decrease in average cash and interest- bearing investment balances and lower interest rates. We expect net interest income to decrease in 2003 compared to 2002 as we expect our average cash and interest-bearing investment balances to decline for 2003 when compared to 2002. In addition, we expect interest rates to remain low, resulting in a lower return on investment. Net interest income will vary in the future based on our cash flow and rate of return on investments.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 2.9% in 2002 compared to an income tax benefit of 4.8% in 2001. We have fully utilized our net operating loss carryback.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2003 were $1.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 million of short-term investments. As of December 31, 2003, we do not hold investments with a stated maturity beyond one year. Working capital at December 31, 2003 was $2.4 million compared to $10.7 million as of December 31, 2002.

Net cash used in continuing operations in 2003 was $7.9 million, primarily due to an operating loss for the year, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue, offset by depreciation, and decreases in accounts receivable and inventories.  Future fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory balances and accounts payable will be dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to quarterly sales, timely collection of accounts receivable, and the accuracy of our forecasts of product demand and component requirements.

 

During 2003, our cash, cash equivalents and investments declined $8.0 million from $10.7 million on December 31, 2002 to $2.7 million on December 31, 2003. During 2003 we continued to streamline our operations to better align our workforce with industry trends.  This realignment caused our operating expenses, excluding severance charges, litigation settlement charges, impairment charges and amortization to reduce from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.  Based on our current expectations, the Company will incur operating losses and further usage of cash resources during the first half of 2004.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities in 2003 was $6.0 million, which consisted of the net maturity and sale of $6.1 million of available for sale securities and the net purchase of property and equipment of $0.1million.

 

At December 31, 2003, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. Operating lease commitments of $1.1 million are detailed below. During 2003, we funded our operations through the use of available cash, cash equivalents and investments.

 

As of December 31, 2003, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments in the amount of approximately $2.7 million, down from approximately $10.7 million as of December 31, 2002.  However, throughout 2003, we reduced expenses.  As a result, our cash used in operations, excluding the litigation settlement and severance charges, in the fourth quarter was approximately $1.4 million.  Including litigation settlement and severance charges, our cash used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2003 was $1.9 million.  On March 25, 2004, we closed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants, the proceeds of which we intend to use for general corporate and working capital purposes.  With this additional financing, we believe that we have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months.  The sufficiency of our cash resources may depend to a certain extent on general economic, financial, competitive or other factors beyond our control.  Moreover, despite actions to reduce our cost and improve our profitability, we expect our operating losses and net operating cash outflows to continue through at least the first half of 2004.  We do not currently have any further arrangements for financing, and we may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and sufficient financings are not available, we may not be able to operate or grow our business, pay our expenses when due or fund our other liquidity needs.

 

We intend to explore the possible acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our existing business. We are continuing to identify and prioritize additional security technologies, which we may wish to develop, either internally or through the licensing or acquisition of products from third parties. While we engage from time to time in discussions with respect to potential acquisitions, there can be no assurances that any such acquisitions will be made or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business. In order to finance such acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may be on terms, which are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we successfully renegotiated our lease agreement for our headquarters in Richardson, Texas, which decreased the amount of square feet we leased and extended the lease term for an additional five years.  According to the new lease agreement, our Richardson, Texas headquarters will be located in the same building.  However, we will reduce the amount of space that we lease from approximately 95,000 square feet to approximately 30,000 square feet of floor space and the term of our new lease will expire in February 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2003, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 7A . Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Foreign Exchange.  Our revenue originating outside the U.S. in 2003, 2002 and 2001 was 31.4%, 33.4% and 36.4% of total revenues, respectively.  Revenues generated from the European region in 2003, 2002 and 2001 were 23.0%, 14.5% and 25.4% of total revenues, respectively.  Revenues generated from the Asia region in 2003, 2002 and 2001 were 7.4% 14.6% and 6.3% of total revenues, respectively.  International sales are generated primarily from our foreign sales subsidiaries in the local countries and are typically denominated in U.S. dollars.  These subsidiaries incur substantially all of their expenses in the local currency.

 

Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, import and export regulations, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our business in 2003, 2002 and 2001 was not material.

 

Interest Rates.  We invest our cash in a variety of investment grade financial instruments, including bank time deposits, fixed rate obligations of corporations, municipalities, and state and national governmental entities and agencies.  These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.  Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are operating balances and are invested in short-term time deposits of the local operating bank.

 

Interest income on our investments is carried in “Interest income, net”. We account for our investment instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.  All of the cash equivalents and short-term investments are treated as available-for-sale under SFAS 115.

 

28



 

Investments in fixed rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk.  Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates.  Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities, which have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.  Our investment securities are held for purposes other than trading.  The weighted-average interest rate on investment securities at December 31, 2003 was 5.8%. The fair value of investments held at December 31, 2003 approximated amortized cost.

 

Item 8 .    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

 

The information required by this item is included in Part IV Item 15(a)(1 and 2).

 

Item 9 .    Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

On March 11, 2003, we appointed KBA Group LLP to serve as our independent public accountants, replacing our former independent public accountants Ernst & Young LLP, effective immediately.  This appointment was ratified by our stockholders at our 2003 annual meeting. The decision to change independent auditors was approved by our Board of Directors upon the recommendation and approval of our Audit Committee.

 

Ernst & Young LLP’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the interim period prior to its dismissal, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Ernst & Young LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their reports on our consolidated financial statements and supporting schedules for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided Ernst & Young LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A copy of Ernst & Young LLP’s letter, dated March 11, 2003, stating their agreement with such statements is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2003.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through the date of our dismissal of Ernst & Young, LLP, we did not consult KBA Group LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of the audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 9A . Controls and Procedures

 

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner.

 

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2003, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there was no change during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2003 that has a materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Intrusion Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Intrusion Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule appearing under Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 audit provides 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 Intrusion Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, appearing under Item 15(a)(2) for the year ended December 31, 2003, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

INTRUSION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Description of Business

 

We develop, market and support a family of network intrusion detection and prevention systems and regulated information compliance systems that address vital security issues facing organizations with mission critical applications or housing classified, confidential or customer information assets.  Our growth strategy is focused on three primary network security product segments — intrusion detection systems (“IDS”), intrusion prevention systems (“IPS”), and regulated information compliance systems (“RICS”).  We have sold our network security products to over 300 customers including many fortune 500 companies, departments of the U.S. Government, and Managed Security Service Providers (“MSSP”).

 

We are headquartered in Richardson, Texas and have 44 employees, including 17 in sales and marketing, and 15 in engineering.  Our principal executive offices are located at 1101 East Arapaho Road, Richardson, Texas 75081, and our telephone number is (972) 234-6400.  Our Web site is www.intrusion.com and our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market under the symbol “INTZC”.

 

We organized in Texas in September 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in October 1995. For more than 15 years, we provided local area networking equipment and were known as Optical Data Systems or ODS Networks. On April 17, 2000, we announced plans to sell, or otherwise dispose of, our networking divisions, which include our Essential Communications Division (“Essential”) and our local area networking assets. In accordance with these plans, we have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations. On June 1, 2000, we changed our name from ODS Networks, Inc. to Intrusion.com, Inc., and our NASDAQ ticker symbol from ODSI to INTZ to reflect our focus on intrusion detection solutions. On November 1, 2001, we changed our name from Intrusion.com, Inc. to Intrusion Inc.

 

References to “we”, “us”, “our” or “Intrusion Inc.” refer to Intrusion Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

As of December 31, 2003, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments in the amount of approximately $2.7 million, down from approximately $10.7 million as of December 31, 2002.  However, throughout 2003, we reduced expenses.  As a result, our cash used in operations, excluding the litigation settlement and severance charges in the fourth quarter was approximately $1.4 million.  Including litigation settlement and severance charges, our cash used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2003 was $1.9 million.  On March 25, 2004, we closed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants (See Note 13).  With this additional financing, we believe that we have sufficient cash resources to finance our operations and expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months.  The sufficiency of our cash resources may depend to a certain extent on general economic, financial, competitive or other factors beyond our control.  Moreover, despite actions to reduce our cost and improve our profitability, we expect our operating losses and net operating cash outflows to continue through at least the first half of 2004.  We do not currently have any further arrangements for financing, and we may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding.  If our business does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations and sufficient financings are not available, we may not be able to operate or grow our business, pay our expenses when due or fund our other liquidity needs.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months as of the balance sheet date are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

F-7



 

Short-term Investments

 

Short-term investments consist of U.S. government obligations and corporate securities with maturities between 90 days and one year as of the balance sheet date. Short-term investments are classified as available for sale. These investments are valued at market value, which approximates amortized cost. The difference between fair market value and amortized cost is not material.  Realized gains and losses from the sale of short-term investments are included in other income, net and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities.

 

Risk Concentration

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. We place our investments in U.S. government obligations, corporate securities and money market funds. Substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and investments are maintained with two major U.S. financial institutions.

 

We sell our products to customers in diversified industries worldwide, primarily in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and adverse economic developments in foreign countries could adversely affect the Company’s operating results. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management expectations.

 

While we believe that many of the materials used in the production of our products are generally readily available from a variety of sources, certain components are available from one or a limited number of suppliers. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could impact future results.

 

Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Returns

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect.  We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  Management considers the following factors when determining the collectibility of specific customer accounts:  customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms.  If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.  Based on management’s assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance.  Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Our management estimates the allowance required to state inventory at the lower of cost or market. There is a risk that we will forecast demand for our products and market conditions incorrectly and maintain excess inventories. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not maintain excess inventory and incur inventory lower of cost or market charges in the future.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such lives vary from 3 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the leases. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $1.4, $2.2 and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

F-8



 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS 142, annually thereafter, and upon the occurrence of any event that indicates potential impairments.

 

In accordance with SFAS 142, we discontinued recording goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002. Operating results, excluding the effect of amortization expense related to goodwill, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

SFAS 142 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for potential impairment, while the second phase (if necessary) measures the impairment. Goodwill is potentially impaired if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. We have determined that we have one reporting unit. This methodology differs from our previous policy, as permitted under accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if goodwill is recoverable.

 

We elected to perform our annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002. In connection with our annual impairment review, we determined that the value of goodwill was impaired. At the time of our impairment review, the remaining goodwill of $0.4 million was associated with the MimeStar purchase transaction (see Note 3). Based on the decline in our market value as indicated by the decline in our stock price during 2002, we determined that the goodwill carrying value should be zero at December 31, 2002. Therefore, an impairment charge of $0.4 million was recorded and is included in impairment of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” and accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations,” for a disposal of a segment. The primary objective of SFAS 144 is to develop one accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held for sale. SFAS 144 also requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date. Our adoption of SFAS 144 had no effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

F-9



 

We review long-lived assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include material adverse changes in operations, significant adverse differences in actual results in comparison with initial valuation forecasts prepared at the time of acquisition, a decision to abandon acquired products, services or technologies, or other significant adverse changes that would indicate the carrying amount of the recorded asset might not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted pre tax future net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset.  An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

 

As a result of the write-off of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2002, we determined that a triggering event indicating potential impairment of the associated intangibles had occurred.  At December 31, 2002, the remaining intangibles of $2.6 million principally included purchased software associated with the MimeStar purchase transaction (see Note 3).  We determined that the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows associated with this software was not likely to exceed the remaining carrying value.  Due to technological changes that had taken place with respect to the core software code acquired, it was determined that the carrying value should be zero at December 31, 2002.  Therefore, we recorded an impairment charge of $2.6 million, which is included in impairment of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Beginning with fiscal year 2003, we determined that our international subsidiaries should use the United States dollar as their functional currency, as allowed under SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”.  Although, our international offices pay operating expenses in their local currency, they are fully funded by us in United States dollars, and we exchange the United States dollars locally to settle operating expenses incurred.  As outlined in SFAS 52, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates during the year.  Resulting translation adjustments totaling approximately $50,000 were recorded as operating expenses in the statement of operations during 2003.

 

Accounting for Stock Options

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

 

SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements.  While SFAS 148 does not amend SFAS 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”).  Under APB 25, if the exercise price of an employee’s stock option equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.  However, if the exercise price of an employee’s stock option is less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, compensation expense is recorded for the difference in the exercise price and the market price.  As allowed by SFAS 123, we have elected to continue to utilize the accounting method prescribed by APB 25 and have adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148.

As required, the pro forma disclosures above include options granted since January 1, 1995. Consequently, the effects of applying SFAS 123 for providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on reported operating results for future years until all options outstanding are included in the pro forma disclosures. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation plans and other options are amortized to expense primarily over the vesting period. See Note 10 for further discussion of our stock-based employee compensation.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

We report two separate earnings per share (“EPS”) numbers, basic EPS and diluted EPS with additional disclosure made between continuing and discontinued operations.  Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the year.  Our common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, as they are anti-dilutive.  Such options are excluded due to incurring a net loss per share during the applicable years.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generally recognize product revenue upon shipment of product. We accrue for estimated warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment based on our experience. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized over the contractual period the services are performed. To date, warranty costs and sales returns have not been material. There is a risk that technical issues on new products could result in unexpected warranty costs and returns.

 

We recognize software revenue from the licensing of our software products in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” SOP 98-9, “Modification of 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions” and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 “Revenue Recognition” whereby revenue from the licensing of our products is not recognized until all four of the following have been met: (i) execution of a written purchase order, license agreement or contract; (ii) shipment of the product has occurred; (iii) the license fee is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectibility is probable. We defer and recognize maintenance and support revenue over the term of the contract period, which is generally one year. Allocation of revenue in an arrangement including maintenance is based on the proportion of the fair value of the maintenance when sold separately to the fair value of other items sold in the arrangement.

 

F-11


 

We have signed distribution agreements with distributors in the United States, Europe and Asia. In general, these relationships are non-exclusive. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of our products. Under these agreements, we provide certain protection to the distributors for their inventory of our products for price reductions as well as products that are slow moving or have been discontinued. Recognition of sales to distributors and related gross profits are deferred until the distributors resell the merchandise. However, since we have legally sold the inventory to the distributor and we no longer have care, custody or control over the inventory, we recognize the trade accounts receivable and reduce inventory related to the sale at the time of shipment to the distributor. Revenue, offset by deferred cost of sales, is included in deferred revenue in the accompanying financial statements. Inventory held by distributors at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising expense is charged to operations in the period in which such costs are incurred. Total advertising included in sales and marketing expenses was $0.03 million, $0.02 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

We incur research and development costs that relate primarily to the development of new security software, appliances and integrated solutions, and major enhancements to existing services and products. Research development costs are comprised primarily of salaries and related benefits expenses, contract labor and prototype and other related expenses.

 

Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” requires that software development costs incurred subsequent to reaching technological feasibility be capitalized, if material. If the process of developing a new product or major enhancement does not include a detailed program design, technological feasibility is determined only after completion of a working model. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short, and the software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.

 

Severance Charges

 

In connection with our continued shift to our new intrusion detection and security appliance product lines during 2001, 2002 and 2003, we streamlined operations and activities that are not aligned with these core markets and strategies.  In 2001, this shift in demand resulted in a charge of $3.1 million to recognize impairment of intangible assets (primarily developed technology) related to our SecurityAnalyst and Secure Enterprise product lines.  We also recorded $1.3 million for severance charges and $0.2 million for early termination of lease space in the year ended December 31, 2001.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, the severance charge recorded was $0.2 million.  In 2003, the continued shift in demand resulted in a charge of $0.5 million for severance as a result of reductions in force.  All severance obligations were paid prior to December 31, 2003, and we were not receiving further benefit from the severed individuals after December 31, 2003.  In addition to the severance charges in 2003, contractual severance payments were made in January 2004, resulting in additional severance of $0.1 million being incurred at that time.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, sales discounts, sales returns, revenue recognition, warranty costs, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

 

F-12



 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which uses the liability method to calculate deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income. The liability method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

3. Business Combinations and Acquisition of Assets

 

On September 25, 1998, we completed an acquisition of certain assets from Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”), a privately held company in San Diego, California. We acquired certain assets of the Computer Misuse and Detection System (“CMDS”) Division of SAIC and certain other information security products under development. In exchange for the CMDS assets, the information security products under development and $1.5 million dollars in cash, we issued to SAIC 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares of its common stock. Two separate warrants each grant SAIC the right to purchase 750,000 shares of Intrusion Inc. common stock. The first warrant had an exercise price of $8.00 per share and a term of 18 months and was exercised on March 23, 2000. The second warrant had an exercise price of $10.50 per share and a term of 24 months and was exercised on September 22, 2000. Our acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase of software, in-process research and development and certain other assets. The transaction value of approximately $6.9 million less the $1.5 million cash received was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair market value. Assets acquired included approximately $1.1 million of in-process research and development, $0.1 million of other intangible assets and approximately $4.2 million of purchased software to be amortized over seven years on a straight-line basis. In June 2001, we recorded a restructuring charge of $2.6 million to recognize the impairment of the remaining net book value of this intangible asset. See “Long-Lived Assets” in Note 2.

 

On September 30, 1999, we entered into a technology licensing agreement with RSA Security Inc. under which we are the exclusive licensee of RSA’s Kane Security Products in North America and Europe. The Kane Security Products include the Kane SecurityAnalyst, a security assessment tool, and the Kane Security Monitor, a host-based intrusion detection tool. We are responsible for marketing, sales, support, maintenance and development for Kane Security software. In June 2001, we recorded a restructuring charge of $0.4 million to recognize the impairment of the remaining net book value of this intangible asset. See “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in Note 2.

 

On June 30, 2000, we acquired MimeStar, Inc., a Virginia corporation. MimeStar developed an advanced, network based intrusion detection system called SecureNet Pro™. The acquisition, accounted for using the purchase method, was affected by the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) with and into MimeStar, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, MimeStar, the Merger Sub and the sole stockholder of MimeStar (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger, the stockholder of MimeStar received $4 million in cash and 95,969 shares of the Company’s common stock (which was valued at approximately $1 million on the date of the Merger). Transaction costs for this acquisition totaled approximately $100,000. The acquisition costs of $5.1 million were capitalized as approximately $3.6 million of purchased software, approximately $0.5 million of goodwill and approximately $1.0 million of other intangibles. In December 2002, we recorded impairment charges totaling $3.0 million under SFAS 142 and SFAS 144 to recognize the impairment of the remaining net book values of these intangible assets. See “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Long-Lived Assets” in Note 2.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Leases

 

We lease office space for our corporate headquarters in Richardson, Texas under an operating lease, the base term of which expires in February 2005, with two seven-year options to extend the term of the lease, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We lease office space in San Diego, California for a portion of our security software research and development staff under an operating lease that expires in August 2004. In addition, we lease office space for our U.S. and international sales and engineering offices. Total rental expense of $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $1.9 million was charged to operations during 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we successfully renegotiated our lease agreement for our headquarters in Richardson, Texas, which decreased the amount of square feet we leased and extended the lease term for an additional five years (See Note 13).  According to the new lease agreement, our Richardson, Texas headquarters will be located in the same building.  However, our lease will now expire in February 2010.

 

The following table sets forth certain information concerning our contractual obligations at December 31, 2003 and outlines the expected future payments to be made under such obligations and commitments.  The following table also shows the information concerning future contractual obligations based on the renegotiated lease agreement for our headquarters.

Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.

 

On March 22, 2002, Morgan Newton Company, L.P. (“Morgan Newton”) filed suit against us in Dallas County District Court, Case No. DV02-02339-C, alleging claims for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, and fraud.  The claims arose out of an alleged oral representation to Morgan Newton concerning a request for quotation for the purchase of a large amount of Morgan Newton’s products.  Morgan Newton did not specify the amount of damages it was seeking in the lawsuit. During the third quarter of 2003, the case was settled out of court.  In accordance with the settlement, Intrusion paid Morgan Newton $450 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2003.  The settlement amount of this claim is recorded as litigation settlement in the statement of operations for 2003.  This claim has been completely satisfied at December 31, 2003 and should have no further financial impact on our operating results.

 

We are not aware of any material claims outstanding or pending against Intrusion at December 31, 2003.

7. Discontinued Operations

 

In the second quarter of 2000, we discontinued our networking operations and accordingly have shown the networking operations as discontinued in the accompanying financial statements.

 

During the first quarter of 2001, we closed the sale of our legacy local area networking division generating a gain of $2.1 million, which was used to reduce the estimated net realizable value of the net assets of the remaining discontinued operations of our Essential communications division. During the second quarter of 2001, in response to unfavorable market conditions and efforts to sell Essential, we recorded additional charges to write down the net assets of Essential to reflect an estimated net realizable value of $0.8 million. The $5.0 million second quarter charge included $0.8 million for operating losses expected to be incurred between July and the end of the first quarter of 2002, by which time we expected to have exited, disposed of or otherwise transitioned a majority of our ownership in Essential.

 

In March 2002 we sold Essential for $1.0 million, generating a gain on sale of $0.5 million. Terms of the sale included transferring $0.7 million in net property, plant and equipment, $0.1 million in current liabilities and product maintenance obligations for which $0.4 million was recorded in deferred revenue.

 

A condition of the sale was to give Essential personnel 60 days to exit Essential’s leased facility, the obligation for which we retained as part of the sale. Included in the gain on the sale of Essential was management’s estimate of $0.3 million to terminate this lease agreement, which was equivalent to 2 years’ lease and maintenance of the facility. The contractual term of the lease ran through February 2009. Successful termination of the lease during the fourth quarter of 2002 for less than $0.3 million resulted in additional gain on sale of $0.1 million.

8. Employee Benefit Plans

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

On April 24, 1997, we adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) under which 0.5 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. Eligible employees may designate not more than 10% of their compensation to be deducted each pay period for the purchase of common stock under the Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan was amended January 17, 2001 to increase the maximum number of shares that can be purchased per participant from 500 shares to 1,000 shares per offering. Each participant may purchase up to 2,000 shares in any one calendar year. On January 31 and July 31 of each calendar year, shares of common stock are purchased with the employees’ payroll deductions over the immediately preceding six months at a price per share of 85% of the lesser of the market price of the common stock on the purchase date or the market price on the first day of the six-month period. The Purchase Plan will terminate no later than April 24, 2007. A total of 180,374 shares have been issued under the Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2003.

 

Employee 401(k) Plan

 

We adopted a plan known as the Intrusion Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement and incidental benefits for our employees.  The Plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements.  As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax deferred salary deductions for eligible employees.

 

The Plan was amended on January 10, 2002 to allow employees to contribute from 1% to 25% of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum amount as set by the Internal Revenue Service.  This limit was increased from 19%.  A feature was also added to the Plan to allow participants who are over the age of 50 to contribute an additional amount of their salary per year, as defined annually by the Internal Revenue Service.  We match employee contributions at the rate of $0.25 per each $1.00 of contribution on the first 4% of compensation.  Matching contributions to the Plan were approximately $17,000, $44,500, and $110,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

9. Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. There are no deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.  Significant components of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Realization of the future benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the near to medium term.  Management has considered these factors in determining the valuation allowance for 2003 and 2002.

At December 31, 2003, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $86.4 million for income tax purposes that begin to expire in 2008 and are subject to the ownership change limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. We also had $100.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards. Net operating loss carryforwards of the foreign subsidiaries of $0.7 million at December 31, 2003 are available indefinitely for offset only against taxable income generated by the foreign subsidiaries.

 

We made no federal tax payments during 2003 and 2002, and received federal income tax refunds of $3.2 million in 2002 (none in 2003) for income taxes paid in previous years.

 

10. Stock, Stock Options and Warrants

 

At December 31, 2003, we had four stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. These plans were developed to retain and attract key employees and directors.

 

In 1987, an additional Incentive Stock Option Plan was established, which provides for the issuance of options to our key employees of the Company to purchase our common stock.  The 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan was terminated on January 26, 1997.  The 1987 plan provided for the issuance of up to 1.2 million shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the plan.  Options to purchase a total of 30,700 shares of common stock are outstanding with no options remaining available for issuance for the 1987 plan.

 

In 1995, we adopted our 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of up to 1.6 million shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1995 Plan. On April 19, 2000, our stockholders approved an 850,000-share increase, and on April 26, 2001, our stockholders approved an additional 850,000-share increase to the 1995 Plan. Therefore, the overall number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the plan was increased to 3.3 million shares of common stock. The 1995 Plan provides for the issuance of both non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees, officers, and employee-directors. At December 31, 2003, options to purchase a total of 1,278,945 shares of common stock are outstanding and options for 1,770,182 shares remain available for future grant.

 

F-19



 

In 1995, we adopted the 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Non-Employee Director Plan”) which provided for the issuance of up to 160,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan. On April 25, 2002, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan. This amendment increased the number of shares available for option to 260,000 shares, replaced the automatic grant feature prospectively from 20,000 shares on the fifth anniversary to 10,000 shares annually and reduced the vesting schedule from five years to three years for options granted prospectively. The 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors. No shares have been exercised under the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan. Options to purchase a total of 178,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and options for 82,000 shares remain available for issuance. Since inception, 220,000 shares have been granted to directors pursuant to the 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan, of which, 42,000 have been cancelled.

 

Common shares reserved for future issuance, including outstanding options, under all of the stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans total approximately 3.7 million shares at December 31, 2003.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors determines the term of each option, option exercise price within limits set forth in the plans, number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable (generally ratably over three or five years from grant date). However, the exercise price of any incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date granted (or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of optionees holding more than 10% of our voting stock of the Company), and the term cannot exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10% of our voting stock).

Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share, as disclosed in Note 2, has been determined as if we had accounted for employee stock-based compensation plans and other stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants under the option plans:

2002

 

2001

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. In addition, because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, the pro forma information does not reflect the pro forma effect of all of our previous stock option grants, and thus the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future amounts until SFAS 123 is applied to all outstanding stock options.

Total stock options and warrants outstanding in 2003, 2002 and 2001 that are not included in the diluted earnings per share computation due to the antidilutive effect are 1.5 million, 1.7 million and 2.0 million, respectively. Such options are excluded due to us incurring a net loss per share in those years.

 

12. Major Customers and Geographic Information

 

The Company’s continuing operations are concentrated in one segment—the design, development, marketing and support of data security via a suite of security software and appliances. There were no sales to customers in 2003, 2002 or 2001 that exceeded 10% of total sales for that year.

 

Export sales, primarily to Europe, Asia, Latin America and Canada, were $2.0 million in 2003, $2.6 million in 2002 and $6.1 million in 2001. No significant long-lived assets were deployed outside of the United States.

 

13. Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we successfully renegotiated our lease agreement for our headquarters in Richardson, Texas, which decreased the amount of square feet we lease and extended the lease term for an additional five years.  In accordance with the new lease agreement, our Richardson, Texas headquarters will be located in the same building. However, we will reduce the amount of space that we lease from approximately 95,000 square feet to approximately 30,000 square feet of floor space and the term of our new lease will expire in February 2010.

 

On March 25, 2004, we completed a $5.0 million private placement of 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants.  In the private placement, the company sold 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a price of $5.00 per share, which convert into 6,361,323 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.786 per share, and warrants to purchase 2,226,459 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.786 per share.  In connection with the closing of this private placement, we issued warrants to purchase 257,633 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.786 per share to our financial advisor for the private placement.

 

On March 18, 2004, at a special meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a four-for-one (4:1) reverse stock split of our common stock.  The reverse stock split will become effective on March 29, 2004.  All outstanding share numbers and related common stock numbers, such as earnings per share and outstanding options, included in this report are set forth on a pre-split basis.

 

F-22



 

Had the per share amounts been adjusted to give retroactive effect for the reverse split, net loss per share, continuing operations (basic and diluted) for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 would have been $1.86, $4.23 and $7.71, respectively.  Net loss per share (basic and diluted) for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 would have been $1.86, $4.12 and $8.90, respectively.

1.1           The Premises are to be used solely for general office purposes.  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure, annoy, or disturb them, or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful, or objectionable purpose, or commit any waste.  Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer in, on, or about the Premises the sale of any alcoholic liquor without the written consent of Landlord first obtained.  Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the Premises and its occupancy and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and directions for the correction, prevention and abatement of any violations in the Building or appurtenant land, caused or permitted by, or resulting from the specific use by, Tenant, or in or upon, or in connection with, the Premises, all at Tenant’s sole expense.  Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done on or about the Premises or bring or keep anything into the Premises which will in any way increase the rate of, invalidate or prevent the procuring of any insurance protecting against loss or damage to the Building or any of its contents by fire or other casualty or against liability for damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Building or any part thereof.

 

1.2           Tenant shall not, and shall not direct, suffer or permit any of its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees (collectively, the “Tenant Entities”) to at any time handle, use, manufacture, store or dispose of in or about the Premises or the Building any (collectively “Hazardous Materials”) flammables, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes or materials, toxic wastes or materials, or other similar substances, petroleum products or derivatives or any substance subject to regulation by or under any federal, state and local laws and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment or the keeping, use or disposition of environmentally hazardous materials, substances, or wastes, presently in effect or hereafter adopted, all amendments to any of them, and all rules and regulations issued pursuant to any of such laws or ordinances (collectively “Environmental Laws”), nor shall Tenant suffer or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used in any manner not fully in compliance with all Environmental Laws, in the Premises or the Building and appurtenant land or allow the environment to become contaminated with any Hazardous Materials.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store, use or dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials (such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for copiers, paints, paint remover and the like) to the extent customary and necessary for the use of the Premises for general office purposes; provided that Tenant shall always handle, store, use, and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, Building and appurtenant land or the environment.  TENANT SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD EACH AND ALL OF THE LANDLORD ENTITIES (AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE 30) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, CLAIMS, LIABILITY ( INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY STRICT LIABILITY ) OR COSTS (INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES) INCURRED BY REASON OF ANY ACTUAL OR ASSERTED FAILURE OF TENANT TO FULLY COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, OR THE PRESENCE, HANDLING, USE OR DISPOSITION IN OR FROM THE PREMISES OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BY TENANT OR ANY TENANT ENTITY (EVEN THOUGH PERMISSIBLE UNDER ALL APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE), OR BY REASON OF ANY ACTUAL OR ASSERTED FAILURE OF TENANT TO KEEP, OBSERVE, OR PERFORM ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECTION 1.2.

 

1.3           Tenant and the Tenant Entities will be entitled to the non-exclusive use of the common areas of the Building as they exist from time to time during the Term, including the parking facilities, subject to Landlord’s rules and regulations regarding such use.  However, in no event will Tenant or the Tenant Entities park more vehicles in the parking facilities than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total parking spaces available for common use.  The foregoing shall not be deemed to provide Tenant with an exclusive right to any parking spaces or any guaranty of the availability of any particular parking spaces or any specific number of parking spaces.

2.             TERM .

 

2.1           The Term of this Lease shall begin on the Commencement Date as shown on the Reference Pages and shall terminate on the Termination Date as shown on the Reference Pages, unless sooner terminated by the provisions of this Lease.

 

2.2           Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord to deliver possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date for any reason, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such inability.  No such failure to give possession on the Commencement Date shall affect the any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including the payment of any rent due under this Lease.

 

2.3           In the event Landlord permits Tenant, or any agent, employee or contractor of Tenant, to enter, use or occupy the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such entry, use or occupancy shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease other than the payment of rent, including, without limitation, Tenant’s compliance with the insurance requirements of Article 11.  Said early possession shall not advance the Termination Date.

 

3.             RENT .

 

3.1           Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Annual Rent in effect from time to time by paying the Monthly Installment of Rent then in effect on or before the first day of each full calendar month during the Term, except that the first full month’s rent shall be paid upon the execution of this Lease.  The Monthly Installment of Rent in effect at any time shall be one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Rent in effect at such time.  Rent for any period during the Term which is less than a full month shall be a prorated portion of the Monthly Installment of Rent based upon the number of days in such month.  Said rent shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset and without notice or demand, at the Rent Payment Address, as set forth on the Reference Pages, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.  If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may require by notice to Tenant that all subsequent rent payments be made by an automatic payment from Tenant’s bank account to Landlord’s account, without cost to Landlord.  Tenant must implement such automatic payment system prior to the next scheduled rent payment or within ten (10) days after Landlord’s notice, whichever is later.  Unless specified in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts and sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed additional rent.

 

3.2           Tenant recognizes that late payment of any rent or other sum due under this Lease will result in administrative expense to Landlord, the extent of which additional expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical to ascertain.  Tenant therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is not paid within ten (10) days of when due and payable pursuant to this Lease, a late charge shall be imposed in an amount equal to the greater of:  (a) Fifty Dollars ($50.00), or (b) six percent (6%) of the unpaid rent or other payment.  The amount of the late charge to be paid by Tenant shall be reassessed and added to Tenant’s obligation for each successive month until paid.  The provisions of this Section 3.2 in no way relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or other payments on or before the date on which they are due, nor do the terms of this Section 3.2 in any way affect Landlord’s remedies pursuant to Article 19 of this Lease in the event said rent or other payment is unpaid after date due.

 

4.             RENT ADJUSTMENTS .

 

4.1           For the purpose of this Article 4, the following terms are defined as follows:

 

4.1.1        Lease Year:   Each fiscal year (as determined by Landlord from time to time) falling partly or wholly within the Term.

 

4.1.2        Expenses:   All costs of operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the Building (including the amount of any credits which Landlord may grant to particular tenants of the Building in lieu of providing any standard services or paying any standard costs described in this Section 4.1.2 for similar tenants), as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the following costs by way of illustration, but not limitation: water and sewer charges; insurance charges of or relating to all insurance policies and endorsements deemed by Landlord to be reasonably necessary or desirable and relating in any manner to the protection, preservation, or operation of the Building or any part thereof; utility costs, including, but not limited to, the cost of heat and air conditioning, light, power, steam, gas; waste disposal; the cost of janitorial services; the cost of security and alarm services (including any central station signaling system); costs of cleaning, repairing, replacing and maintaining the common areas, including parking and landscaping, window cleaning costs; labor costs; costs and expenses of managing the Building including management fees; air

conditioning maintenance costs; elevator maintenance fees and supplies; material costs; equipment costs including the cost of maintenance, repair and service agreements and rental and leasing costs; purchase costs of equipment; current rental and leasing costs of items which would be capital items if purchased; tool costs; licenses, permits and inspection fees; wages and salaries; employee benefits and payroll taxes; accounting and legal fees; any sales, use or service taxes incurred in connection therewith.  In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, as additional rent (which, along with any other capital expenditures constituting Expenses, Landlord may either include in Expenses or cause to be billed to Tenant along with Expenses and Taxes but as a separate item), Tenant’s Proportionate Share of: (i) an allocable portion of the cost of capital improvement items which are reasonably calculated to reduce operating expenses; (ii) the cost of fire sprinklers and suppression systems and other life safety systems; and (iii) other capital expenses which are required under any governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed; but the costs described in this sentence shall be amortized over the reasonable life of such expenditures in accordance with such reasonable life and amortization schedules as shall be determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, with interest on the unamortized amount at one percent (1%) in excess of the Wall Street Journal prime lending rate announced from time to time.  Expenses shall not include depreciation or amortization of the Building or equipment in the Building except as provided herein, loan principal payments, costs of alterations of tenants’ premises, leasing commissions, interest expenses on long-term borrowings or advertising costs.

 

4.1.3        Taxes:   Real estate taxes and any other taxes, charges and assessments which are levied with respect to the Building or the land appurtenant to the Building, or with respect to any improvements, fixtures and equipment or other property of Landlord, real or personal, located in the Building and used in connection with the operation of the Building and said land, any payments to any ground lessor in reimbursement of tax payments made by such lessor; and all fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in investigating, protesting, contesting or in any way seeking to reduce or avoid increase in any assessments, levies or the tax rate pertaining to any Taxes to be paid by Landlord in any Lease Year.  Taxes shall not include any corporate franchise, or estate, inheritance or net income tax, or tax imposed upon any transfer by Landlord of its interest in this Lease or the Building or any taxes to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Article 28.

 

4.2           If in any Lease Year, (i) Expenses paid or incurred shall exceed Expenses paid or incurred in the Base Year (Expenses) and/or (ii) Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord in any Lease Year shall exceed the amount of such Taxes which became due and payable in the Base Year (Taxes), Tenant shall pay as additional rent for such Lease Year Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess.  In addition, Tenant shall pay as additional rent the HVAC Expenses (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) in the amount shown on the Reference Pages.

 

4.3           The annual determination of Expenses shall be made by Landlord and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3.  During the Term, Tenant may review, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the books and records supporting such determination in an office of Landlord, or Landlord’s agent, during normal business hours, upon giving Landlord five (5) days advance written notice within sixty (60) days after receipt of such determination, but in no event more often than once in any one (1) year period, subject to execution of a confidentiality agreement acceptable to Landlord, and provided that if Tenant utilizes an independent accountant to perform such review it shall be one of national standing which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is also subject to such confidentiality agreement.  If Tenant fails to object to Landlord’s determination of Expenses within ninety (90) days after receipt, or if any such objection fails to state with specificity the reason for the objection, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such determination and shall have no further right to object to or contest such determination. In the event that during all or any portion of any Lease Year or Base Year, the Building is not fully rented and occupied Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment in occupancy-related Expenses for such year for the purpose of avoiding distortion of the amount of such Expenses to be attributed to Tenant by reason of variation in total occupancy of the Building, by employing consistent and sound accounting and management principles to determine Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been at least ninety-five percent (95%) rented and occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been Expenses for such Lease Year.

 

4.4           Prior to the actual determination thereof for a Lease Year, Landlord may from time to time estimate Tenant’s liability for Expenses and/or Taxes under Section 4.2, Article 6 and Article 28 for the Lease Year or portion thereof.  Landlord will give Tenant written notification of the amount of such estimate and Tenant agrees that it will pay, by increase of its Monthly Installments of Rent due in such Lease Year, additional rent in the amount of such estimate.  Any such increased rate of Monthly Installments of Rent pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall remain in effect until further written notification to Tenant pursuant hereto.

 

4.5           When the above mentioned actual determination of Tenant’s liability for Expenses and/or Taxes is made for any Lease Year and when Tenant is so notified in writing, then:

 

3



 

4.5.1        If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid pursuant to Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or Taxes for the Lease Year is less than Tenant’s liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord as additional rent in one lump sum within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s bill therefore; and

 

4.5.2        If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid pursuant to Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or Taxes for the Lease Year is more than Tenant’s liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Landlord shall credit the difference against the then next due payments to be made by Tenant under this Article 4, or, if the Lease has terminated, refund the difference in cash.  Tenant shall not be entitled to a credit by reason of actual Expenses and/or Taxes in any Lease Year being less than Expenses and/or Taxes in the Base Year (Expenses and/or Taxes).

 

4.6           If the Commencement Date is other than January 1 or if the Termination Date is other than December 31, Tenant’s liability for Expenses and Taxes for the Lease Year in which said Date occurs shall be prorated based upon a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year.

 

5.             SECURITY DEPOSIT .   Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord upon the execution of this Lease.  Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant and not as an advance rental deposit or as a measure of Landlord’s damage in case of Tenant’s default.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default.  If any portion is so used, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand therefore, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease.  Except to such extent, if any, as shall be required by law, Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit.  If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant at such time after termination of this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled.

 

6.             ALTERATIONS .

 

6.1           Except for those, if any, specifically provided for in Exhibit B to this Lease, Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions, or improvements, including, but not limited to, the attachment of any fixtures or equipment in, on, or to the Premises or any part thereof or the making of any improvements as required by Article 7, without the prior written consent of Landlord.  When applying for such consent, Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord, furnish complete plans and specifications for such alterations, additions and improvements. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to alterations which (i) are not structural in nature, (ii) are not visible from the exterior of the Building, (iii) do not affect or require modification of the Building’s electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC or other systems, and (iv) in aggregate do not cost more than $5.00 per rentable square foot of that portion of the Premises affected by the alterations in question.

 

6.2           In the event Landlord consents to the making of any such alteration, addition or improvement by Tenant, the same shall be made by using either Landlord’s contractor or a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, in either event at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  If Tenant shall employ any contractor other than Landlord’s contractor and such other contractor or any subcontractor of such other contractor shall employ any non-union labor or supplier, Tenant shall be responsible for and hold Landlord harmless from any and all delays, damages and extra costs suffered by Landlord as a result of any dispute with any labor unions concerning the wage, hours, terms or conditions of the employment of any such labor.  In any event Landlord may charge Tenant a construction management fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such work to cover its overhead as it relates to such proposed work, plus third-party costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed work and the design thereof, with all such amounts being due five (5) days after Landlord’s demand.

 

6.3           All alterations, additions or improvements proposed by Tenant shall be constructed in accordance with all government laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, using Building standard materials where applicable, and Tenant shall, prior to construction, provide the additional insurance required under Article 11 in such case, and also all such assurances to Landlord as Landlord shall reasonably require to assure payment of the costs thereof, including but not limited to, notices of non-responsibility, waivers of lien, surety company performance bonds and funded construction escrows and to protect Landlord and the Building and appurtenant land against any loss from any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens.  Tenant shall pay in addition to any sums due pursuant to Article 4, any increase in real estate taxes attributable to any such alteration,

 

4



 

addition or improvement for so long, during the Term, as such increase is ascertainable; at Landlord’s election said sums shall be paid in the same way as sums due under Article 4.  Landlord may, as a condition to its consent to any particular alterations or improvements, require Tenant to deposit with Landlord the amount reasonably estimated by Landlord as sufficient to cover the cost of removing such alterations or improvements and restoring the Premises, to the extent required under Section 26.2

 

7.             REPAIR.

 

7.1           Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises, except as specified in Exhibit B if attached to this Lease and except that Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building, including the basic plumbing, air conditioning, heating and electrical systems installed or furnished by Landlord.  By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant accepts them as being in good order, condition and repair and in the condition in which Landlord is obligated to deliver them, except as set forth in the punch list to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1.  It is hereby understood and agreed that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

 

7.2           Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, keep the Premises in good condition and repair excepting damage by fire, or other casualty, and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, promptly complying with all governmental orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of any violations or nuisances in or upon, or connected with, the Premises, all at Tenant’s sole expense.

 

7.3           Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.

 

7.4           Except as provided in Article 22, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment in the Building.  Except to the extent, if any, prohibited by law, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

 

8.             LIENS.   Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and appurtenant land and Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises free from any liens arising out of any services, work or materials performed, furnished, or contracted for by Tenant, or obligations incurred by Tenant.  In the event that Tenant fails, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, to either cause the same to be released of record or provide Landlord with insurance against the same issued by a major title insurance company or such other protection against the same as Landlord shall accept (such failure to constitute an Event of Default), Landlord shall have the right to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien.  All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall be payable to it by Tenant within five (5) days Landlord’s demand.

 

9.             ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING .

 

9.1           Tenant shall not have the right to assign or pledge this Lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant, and shall not make, suffer or permit such assignment, subleasing or occupancy without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and said restrictions shall be binding upon any and all assignees of the Lease and subtenants of the Premises.  In the event Tenant desires to sublet, or permit such occupancy of, the Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord at least sixty (60) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the proposed commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information of the proposed subtenant or assignee.

 

9.2           Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, permitted or otherwise, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent specified in this Lease and for compliance with all of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part of them are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or provided by law, may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents due and becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord from

 

5



 

Tenant under this Lease, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

9.3           In addition to Landlord’s right to approve of any subtenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed subletting or assignment, to terminate this Lease, or in the case of a proposed subletting of less than the entire Premises, to recapture the portion of the Premises to be sublet, as of the date the subletting or assignment is to be effective.  The option shall be exercised, if at all, by Landlord giving Tenant written notice given by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice as required above.  However, if Tenant notifies Landlord, within five (5) days after receipt of Landlord’s termination notice, that Tenant is rescinding its proposed assignment or sublease, the termination notice shall be void and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If this Lease shall be terminated with respect to the entire Premises pursuant to this Section, the Term of this Lease shall end on the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of the sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.  If Landlord recaptures under this Section only a portion of the Premises, the rent to be paid from time to time during the unexpired Term shall abate proportionately based on the proportion by which the approximate square footage of the remaining portion of the Premises shall be less than that of the Premises as of the date immediately prior to such recapture.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding commission obligation which may be due and owing as a result of any proposed assignment or subletting, whether or not the Premises are recaptured pursuant to this Section 9.3 and rented by Landlord to the proposed tenant or any other tenant.

 

9.4           In the event that Tenant sells, sublets, assigns or transfers this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of any Increased Rent (as defined below), less the Costs Component (as defined below), when and as such Increased Rent is received by Tenant.  As used in this Section, “Increased Rent” shall mean the excess of (i) all rent and other consideration which Tenant is entitled to receive by reason of any sale, sublease, assignment or other transfer of this Lease, over (ii) the rent otherwise payable by Tenant under this Lease at such time.  For purposes of the foregoing, any consideration received by Tenant in form other than cash shall be valued at its fair market value as determined by Landlord in good faith.  The “Costs Component” is that amount which, if paid monthly, would fully amortize on a straight-line basis, over the entire period for which Tenant is to receive Increased Rent, the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant for leasing commissions and tenant improvements in connection with such sublease, assignment or other transfer.

 

9.5           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, it shall be considered reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any assignment of this Lease or sublease of any portion of the Premises if at the time of either Tenant’s notice of the proposed assignment or sublease or the proposed commencement date thereof, there shall exist any uncured default of Tenant or matter which will become a default of Tenant with passage of time unless cured, or if the proposed assignee or sublessee is an entity:  (a) with which Landlord is already in negotiation; (b) is already an occupant of the Building unless Landlord is unable to provide the amount of space required by such occupant; (c) is a governmental agency; (d) is incompatible with the character of occupancy of the Building; (e) with which the payment for the sublease or assignment is determined in whole or in part based upon its net income or profits; or (f) would subject the Premises to a use which would:  (i) involve increased personnel or wear upon the Building; (ii)  violate any exclusive right granted to another tenant of the Building; (iii) require any addition to or modification of the Premises or the Building in order to comply with building code or other governmental requirements; or, (iv) involve a violation of Section 1.2.  Tenant expressly agrees that for the purposes of any statutory or other requirement of reasonableness on the part of Landlord, Landlord’s refusal to consent to any assignment or sublease for any of the reasons described in this Section 9.5, shall be conclusively deemed to be reasonable.

 

9.6           Upon any request to assign or sublet, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Assignment/Subletting Fee plus, on demand, a sum equal to all of Landlord’s costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in investigating and considering any proposed or purported assignment or pledge of this Lease or sublease of any of the Premises, regardless of whether Landlord shall consent to, refuse consent, or determine that Landlord’s consent is not required for, such assignment, pledge or sublease.  Any purported sale, assignment, mortgage, transfer of this Lease or subletting, which does not comply, with the provisions of this Article 9 shall be void.

 

9.7           If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust, any transfer or transfers of or change or changes within any twelve (12) month period in the number of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or limited liability company, the general partnership interests in the partnership or the identity of the persons or entities controlling the activities of such partnership or trust resulting in the persons or entities owning or controlling a majority of such shares, partnership interests or activities of such partnership or trust at the beginning of such period no longer having such ownership or control shall be regarded as equivalent to an assignment of this Lease to the persons or entities acquiring

 

6



 

such ownership or control and shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 9 to the same extent and for all intents and purposes as though such an assignment.

 

10.           INDEMNIFICATION .   NONE OF THE LANDLORD ENTITIES SHALL BE LIABLE AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THEM FOR ANY DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY OR ANY INJURY TO ANY PERSON IN OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR THE BUILDING BY OR FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, RAIN OR WATER LEAKAGE OF ANY CHARACTER FROM THE ROOF, WINDOWS, WALLS, BASEMENT, PIPES, PLUMBING WORKS OR APPLIANCES, THE BUILDING NOT BEING IN GOOD CONDITION OR REPAIR, GAS, FIRE, OIL, ELECTRICITY OR THEFT), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY OR ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LANDLORD OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS.  TENANT SHALL PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE LANDLORD ENTITIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, CLAIMS, LIABILITY OR COSTS (INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES) INCURRED BY REASON OF (A) ANY DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PROPERTY OF ANY LANDLORD ENTITY) OR ANY INJURY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEATH) TO ANY PERSON OCCURRING IN, ON OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR THE BUILDING TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INJURY OR DAMAGE SHALL BE CAUSED BY OR ARISE FROM ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED ACT, NEGLECT, FAULT, OR OMISSION BY OR OF TENANT OR ANY TENANT ENTITY TO MEET ANY STANDARDS IMPOSED BY ANY DUTY WITH RESPECT TO THE INJURY OR DAMAGE; (B) THE CONDUCT OR MANAGEMENT OF ANY WORK OR THING WHATSOEVER DONE BY THE TENANT IN OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR FROM TRANSACTIONS OF THE TENANT CONCERNING THE PREMISES; (C) TENANT’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY AND ALL GOVERNMENTAL LAWS, ORDINANCES AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE CONDITION OR USE OF THE PREMISES OR ITS OCCUPANCY; OR (D) ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT ON THE PART OF TENANT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY COVENANT OR AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF THE TENANT TO BE PERFORMED PURSUANT TO THIS LEASE, IN EACH CASE EVEN THOUGH CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT OF LANDLORD OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS (OTHER THAN A LOSS ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS), AND EVEN THOUGH ANY SUCH CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR SUIT IS BASED UPON OR ALLEGED TO BE BASED UPON THE STRICT LIABILITY OF LANDLORD OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS.  THIS INDEMNITY IS INTENDED TO INDEMNIFY LANDLORD AND ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS AGAINST THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT AS PROVIDED ABOVE WHEN LANDLORD OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS ARE JOINTLY, COMPARATIVELY, CONTRIBUTIVELY, OR CONCURRENTLY NEGLIGENT WITH TENANT .  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS OR LIABILITY ACCRUING PRIOR TO SUCH TERMINATION.

19.1.3      Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages, all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease, and other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the sum of:  (a) an amount equal to the then present value of the rent reserved in this Lease for the residue of the stated Term of this Lease including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease and all other sums provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant, minus the fair rental value of the Premises for such residue; (b) the value of the time and expense necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, and the estimated expenses described in Section 19.1.4 relating to recovery of the Premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself; and (c) the cost of performing any other covenants which would have otherwise been performed by Tenant.

 

19.1.4      Upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession only without termination of the Lease:

 

19.1.4.1  Neither such termination of Tenant’s right to possession nor Landlord’s taking and holding possession thereof as provided in Section 19.1.2 shall terminate the Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent, under this Lease for the full Term, and if Landlord so elects Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the entire amount of the rent as and when it becomes due, including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease, for the remainder of the Term plus any other sums provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term.

 

19.1.4.2  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or portions thereof to the extent required by applicable law.  Landlord and Tenant agree that nevertheless Landlord shall at most be required to use only the same efforts Landlord then uses to lease premises in the Building generally and that in any case that Landlord shall not be required to give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of the Premises or portions thereof over any other space that Landlord may be leasing or have available and may place a suitable prospective tenant in any such other space regardless of when such other space becomes available and that Landlord shall have the right to relet the Premises for a greater or lesser term than that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet only a portion of the Premises, or a portion of the Premises or the entire Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use of the Premises.  In connection with or in preparation for any reletting, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord’s expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, any commission incurred by Landlord, within five (5) days of Landlord’s demand.  Landlord shall not be required to observe any instruction given by Tenant about any reletting or accept any tenant offered by Tenant unless such offered tenant has a credit-worthiness acceptable to Landlord and leases the entire Premises upon terms and conditions including a rate of rent (after giving effect to all expenditures by Landlord for tenant improvements, broker’s commissions and other leasing costs) all no less favorable to Landlord than as called for in this Lease, nor shall Landlord be required to make or permit any assignment or sublease for more than the current term or which Landlord would not be required to permit under the provisions of Article 9.

 

19.1.4.3  Until such time as Landlord shall elect to terminate the Lease and shall thereupon be entitled to recover the amounts specified in such case in Section 19.1.3, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the full amount of all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease and other sums reserved in this Lease for the remaining Term, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and Landlord’s expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including reasonable attorney’s fees and broker’s commissions), as the same shall then be due or become due from time to time, less only such consideration as Landlord may have received from any reletting of the Premises; and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suits from time to time to recover any sums falling due under this Article 19 as they become due.  Any proceeds of reletting by Landlord in excess of the amount then owed by Tenant to Landlord from time to time shall be credited against Tenant’s future obligations under this Lease but shall not otherwise be refunded to Tenant or inure to Tenant’s benefit.

 

19.2         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) cure such default at Tenant’s sole expense.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into and upon the Premises if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that Tenant is not acting within a commercially reasonable time to maintain, repair or replace anything for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease or to otherwise effect compliance with its obligations under this Lease and correct the same, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any liability for any damage or interruption of Tenant’s business resulting therefrom and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord within five (5) days of Landlord’s demand as additional rent, for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, plus interest from the date of expenditure by Landlord at the Wall Street Journal prime rate.

 

11



 

19.3         Tenant understands and agrees that in entering into this Lease, Landlord is relying upon receipt of all the Annual and Monthly Installments of Rent to become due with respect to all the Premises originally leased hereunder over the full Initial Term of this Lease for amortization, including interest at the Amortization Rate.  For purposes hereof, the “Concession Amount” shall be defined as the aggregate of all amounts forgone or expended by Landlord as free rent under the lease, under Exhibit B hereof for construction allowances (excluding therefrom any amounts expended by Landlord for Landlord’s Work, as defined in Exhibit B ), and for brokers’ commissions payable by reason of this Lease.  Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises leased hereunder shall be terminated as of any date (“Default Termination Date”) prior to the expiration of the full Initial Term hereof by reason of a default of Tenant, there shall be due and owing to Landlord as of the day prior to the Default Termination Date, as rent in addition to all other amounts owed by Tenant as of such Date, the amount (“Unamortized Amount”) of the Concession Amount determined as set forth below; provided, however, that in the event that such amounts are recovered by Landlord pursuant to any other provision of this Article 19, Landlord agrees that it shall not attempt to recover such amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 19.3.  For the purposes hereof, the Unamortized Amount shall be determined in the same manner as the remaining principal balance of a mortgage with interest at the Amortization Rate payable in level payments over the same length of time as from the effectuation of the Concession concerned to the end of the full Initial Term of this Lease would be determined.  The foregoing provisions shall also apply to and upon any reduction of space in the Premises, as though such reduction were a termination for Tenant’s default, except that (i) the Unamortized Amount shall be reduced by any amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord to effectuate such reduction and (ii) the manner of application shall be that the Unamortized Amount shall first be determined as though for a full termination as of the Effective Date of the elimination of the portion, but then the amount so determined shall be multiplied by the fraction of which the numerator is the rentable square footage of the eliminated portion and the denominator is the rentable square footage of the Premises originally leased hereunder; and the amount thus obtained shall be the Unamortized Amount.

 

19.4         If, on account of any breach or default by Tenant in Tenant’s obligations under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it shall become necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or consult with an attorney or collection agency concerning or to enforce or defend any of Landlord’s rights or remedies arising under this Lease or to collect any sums due from Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay all costs and fees so incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  TENANT EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO: (A) TRIAL BY JURY; AND (B)   SERVICE OF ANY NOTICE REQUIRED BY ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE LAW OR ORDINANCE APPLICABLE TO LANDLORDS OR TENANTS BUT NOT REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE.

 

19.5         Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease or any other remedies provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease.

 

19.6         No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord.  No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease.  Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be construed as a waiver of such Default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing.  Forbearance by Landlord in enforcing one or more of the remedies provided in this Lease upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such Default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such Default or any subsequent Default.

 

19.7         To secure the payment of all rentals and other sums of money becoming due from Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall have and Tenant grants to Landlord a first lien upon the leasehold interest of Tenant under this Lease, which lien may be enforced in equity, and a continuing security interest upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, inventory, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and other personal property of Tenant situated on the Premises, and such property shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of Landlord until all arrearages in rent as well as any and all other sums of money then due to Landlord under this Lease shall first have been paid and discharged.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, all rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to sell the property described in this Section 19.7 at public or private sale upon five (5) days’ notice to Tenant.

 

19.8         Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of this Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed and/or stored, as the case may be, by or at the direction of Landlord but at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the

 

12



 

value, preservation or safekeeping thereof.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control.  Any such property of Tenant not retaken by Tenant from storage within thirty (30) days after removal from the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

 

19.9         If more than one (1) Event of Default occurs during the Term or any renewal thereof, Tenant’s renewal options, expansion options, purchase options and rights of first offer and/or refusal, if any are provided for in this Lease, shall be null and void.

 

20.           TENANT’S BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY .

 

20.1         If at any time and for so long as Tenant shall be subjected to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United States or any state thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a “Debtor’s Law”):

 

20.1.1      Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee or receiver of Tenant’s assets (each a “Tenant’s Representative”) shall have no greater right to assume or assign this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or to sublease any of the Premises than accorded to Tenant in Article 9, except to the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such assumption, assignment or sublease by the provisions of such Debtor’s Law.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant’s Representative to assume or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the Premises shall be subject to the conditions that:

 

20.1.1.1  Such Debtor’s Law shall provide to Tenant’s Representative a right of assumption of this Lease which Tenant’s Representative shall have timely exercised and Tenant’s Representative shall have fully cured any default of Tenant under this Lease.

 

20.1.1.2  Tenant’s Representative or the proposed assignee, as the case shall be, shall have deposited with Landlord as security for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to the larger of: (a) three (3) months’ rent and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease; and (b) any sum specified in Article 5; and shall have provided Landlord with adequate other assurance of the future performance of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease.  Without limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the case of assumption of this Lease, demonstration to the satisfaction of the Landlord that Tenant’s Representative has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant’s Representative will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and, in the case of assignment, submission of current financial statements of the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and showing a net worth and working capital in amounts determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by such assignee of all of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

20.1.1.3  The assumption or any contemplated assignment of this Lease or subleasing any part of the Premises, as shall be the case, will not breach any provision in any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.

 

20.1.1.4  Landlord shall have, or would have had absent the Debtor’s Law, no right under Article 9 to refuse consent to the proposed assignment or sublease by reason of the identity or nature of the proposed assignee or sublessee or the proposed use of the Premises concerned.

 

21.           QUIET ENJOYMENT .   Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, while paying the rental and performing its other covenants and agreements contained in this Lease, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance or molestation from Landlord subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease.  Landlord shall not be liable for any interference or disturbance by other tenants or third persons, nor shall Tenant be released from any of the obligations of this Lease because of such interference or disturbance.

 

22.           CASUALTY

 

22.1         In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other cause and in Landlord’s reasonable estimation such damage can be materially restored within one hundred eighty (180) days, Landlord shall forthwith repair the

 

13



 

same and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement in rent from the date of such damage.  Such abatement of rent shall be made pro rata in accordance with the extent to which the damage and the making of such repairs shall interfere with the use and occupancy by Tenant of the Premises from time to time.  Within forty-five (45) days from the date of such damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of Landlord’s reasonable estimation of the length of time within which material restoration can be made, and Landlord’s determination shall be binding on Tenant.  For purposes of this Lease, the Building or Premises shall be deemed “materially restored” if they are in such condition as would not prevent or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the purpose for which it was being used immediately before such damage.

 

22.2         If such repairs cannot, in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, be made within one hundred eighty (180) days, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option of giving the other, at any time within ninety (90) days after such damage, notice terminating this Lease as of the date of such damage.  In the event of the giving of such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate as of the date of such damage as if such date had been originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.  In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its option to terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect, and the rent hereunder shall be proportionately abated as provided in Section 22.1.

 

22.3         Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any damage or loss by or from fire or other cause to any panelings, decorations, partitions, additions, railings, ceilings, floor coverings, office fixtures or any other property or improvements installed on the Premises by, or belonging to, Tenant.  Any insurance, which may be carried, by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control.

 

22.4         In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and material restoration within sixty (60) days after the date estimated by Landlord therefore as extended by this Section 22.4, Tenant may at its option and as its sole remedy terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of said period of time, whereupon the Lease shall end on the date of such notice or such later date fixed in such notice as if the date of such notice was the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that if construction is delayed because of changes, deletions or additions in construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, Acts of God, war, material or labor shortages, government regulation or control or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for restoration, repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the amount of time Landlord is so delayed.

 

22.5         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article:  (a) Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct, or restore the Premises when the damages resulting from any casualty covered by the provisions of this Article 22 occur during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or any extension thereof, but if Landlord determines not to repair such damages Landlord shall notify Tenant and if such damages shall render any material portion of the Premises untenantable Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice; and (b) in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises or Building requires that any insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this Lease shall end on the date of such damage as if the date of such damage were the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.

 

22.6         In the event of any damage or destruction to the Building or Premises by any peril covered by the provisions of this Article 22, it shall be Tenant’s responsibility to properly secure the Premises and upon notice from Landlord to remove forthwith, at its sole cost and expense, such portion of all of the property belonging to Tenant or its licensees from such portion or all of the Building or Premises as Landlord shall request.

 

23.           EMINENT DOMAIN .   If all or any substantial part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, or conveyance in lieu of such appropriation, either party to this Lease shall have the right, at its option, of giving the other, at any time within thirty (30) days after such taking, notice terminating this Lease, except that Tenant may only terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation, if such taking or appropriation shall be so substantial as to materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.  If neither party to this Lease shall so elect to terminate this Lease, the rental thereafter to be paid shall be adjusted on a fair and equitable basis under the circumstances.  In addition to the rights of Landlord above, if any substantial part of the Building shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, and regardless of whether the Premises or any part thereof are so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this Lease.  Landlord shall be entitled to any and all income, rent, award, or any interest

 

14



 

whatsoever in or upon any such sum, which may be paid or made in connection with any such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any interest it may have in or claim to all or any part of such sums, other than any separate award which may be made with respect to Tenant’s trade fixtures and moving expenses; Tenant shall make no claim for the value of any unexpired Term.

 

24.           SALE BY LANDLORD .   In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease.  Except as set forth in this Article 24, this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee.  If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord may transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.

 

25.           ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES .   Within ten (10) days following any written request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord or mortgagee or prospective mortgagee a sworn statement certifying:  (a) the date of commencement of this Lease; (b) the fact that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications to this Lease, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of such modifications); (c) the date to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) the fact that there are no current defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant except as specified in Tenant’s statement; and (e) such other matters as may be requested by Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article 25 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser, and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of any sale or funding of any loan caused by any material misstatement contained in such estoppel certificate.  Tenant irrevocably agrees that if Tenant fails to execute and deliver such certificate within such ten (10) day period Landlord or Landlord’s beneficiary or agent may execute and deliver such certificate on Tenant’s behalf, and that such certificate shall be fully binding on Tenant.

 

26.           SURRENDER OF PREMISES .

 

26.1         Tenant shall arrange to meet Landlord for two (2) joint inspections of the Premises, the first to occur at least thirty (30) days (but no more than sixty (60) days) before the last day of the Term, and the second to occur not later than forty-eight (48) hours after Tenant has vacated the Premises.  In the event of Tenant’s failure to arrange such joint inspections and/or participate in either such inspection, Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant’s vacating the Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration.

 

26.2         All alterations, additions, and improvements in, on, or to the Premises made or installed by or for Tenant, including carpeting (collectively, “Alterations”), shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Term.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, all Alterations shall become a part of the realty and shall belong to Landlord without compensation, and title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale.  At the end of the Term or any renewal of the Term or other sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant will peaceably deliver up to Landlord possession of the Premises, together with all Alterations by whomsoever made, in the same conditions received or first installed, broom clean and free of all debris, excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord elects by notice given to Tenant at least ten (10) days prior to expiration of the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, remove any Alterations, including carpeting, so designated by Landlord’s notice, and repair any damage caused by such removal.  Tenant must, at Tenant’s sole cost, remove upon termination of this Lease, any and all of Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, movable partitions of less than full height from floor to ceiling and other trade fixtures and personal property (collectively, “Personalty”).  Personalty not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by the Tenant and title to the same shall thereupon pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale, but Tenant shall remain responsible for the cost of removal and disposal of such Personalty, as well as any damage caused by such removal.  In lieu of requiring Tenant to remove Alterations and Personalty and repair the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant delivered at least thirty (30) days before the Termination Date, require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, the cost of such removal and repair in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord.

 

26.3         All obligations of Tenant under this Lease not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated by Landlord, necessary to repair and restore the Premises as provided in this Lease and/or to discharge Tenant’s obligation for unpaid amounts due or to become due to Landlord.  All such amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for payment of such obligations of Tenant, with Tenant being liable for any additional costs upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to Tenant after all such obligations have been

28.           TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT .   In addition to rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord, upon demand, any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties to this Lease:  (a) upon, allocable to, or measured by or on the gross or net rent payable under this Lease, including without limitation any gross income tax or excise tax levied by the State, any political subdivision thereof, or the Federal Government with respect to the receipt of such rent; (b) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, including any sales, use or service tax imposed as a result thereof; (c) upon or measured by the Tenant’s gross receipts or payroll or the value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property of Tenant or leasehold improvements, alterations or additions located in the Premises; or (d) upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring any interest of Tenant in this Lease or the Premises.  In addition to the foregoing, Tenant agrees to pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed against Tenant and which become payable during the term hereof upon Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property of Tenant located in the Premises.

EXHIBIT E – RENEWAL OPTION

 

attached to and made a part of Lease bearing the

Lease Reference Date of January 12, 2004 between

CALWEST INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS TEXAS, L.P., as Landlord and

INTRUSION INC., as Tenant

 

Tenant shall, provided the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default under any of the other terms and conditions of the Lease at the time of notification or commencement, have two (2) successive options to renew this Lease for a term of five (5) years each, for the portion of the Premises being leased by Tenant as of the date the renewal term is to commence, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, except as modified by the terms, covenants and conditions as set forth below:

 

a.                                        If Tenant elects to exercise said option, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice no earlier than the date which is two hundred seventy (240) days prior to the expiration of the then current term of the Lease but no later than the date which is one hundred twenty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then current term of this Lease.  If Tenant fails to provide such notice, Tenant shall have no further or additional right to extend or renew the term of the Lease.

 

b.                                       The Annual Rent and Monthly Installment of Rent in effect at the expiration of the then current term of the Lease shall be increased to reflect the current fair market rental for comparable space in the Building and in other similar buildings in the same rental market as of the date the renewal term is to commence, taking into account the specific provisions of the Lease which will remain constant.  Landlord shall advise Tenant of the new Annual Rent and Monthly Installment of Rent for the Premises no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of Tenant’s written request therefore.  Said request shall be made no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the first date on which Tenant may exercise its option under this Paragraph.  Said notification of the new Annual Rent may include a provision for its escalation to provide for a change in fair market rental between the time of notification and the commencement of the renewal term.  In no event shall the Annual Rent and Monthly Installment of Rent for the option period be less than the Annual Rent and Monthly Installment of Rent in the preceding period.  Tenant shall have ten (10) days from said notification to provide Landlord with written notice that Tenant elects to exercise its renewal option.  If Tenant fails to provide such notice, then Tenant will be deemed to have waived its option to renew the Lease, and Tenant shall have no further or additional right to extend the term of the Lease.

 

c.                                        This option is not transferable; the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they intend that the aforesaid option to renew this Lease shall be “personal” to Tenant or its permitted assignees as set forth above and that in no event will any assignee or sublessee have any rights to exercise the aforesaid option to renew, unless approved by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

d.                                       As each renewal option provided for above is exercised, the number of renewal options remaining to be exercised is reduced by one and upon exercise of the last remaining renewal option Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of the Lease.
