SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and

intends, plans, believes, estimates, or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology, including, but not limited to, the following:

These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical facts. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and
events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The factors that could contribute to such differences include those discussed under the caption Risks Factors in Part II,
Item 1A contained herein, as well as those discussed in our Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should consider these risks carefully, among other things, in evaluating our prospects and future financial
performance. The occurrence of the events described in the risk factors could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We
disclaim any obligation to update or alter these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, or any obligation to explain the reasons why actual results may differ.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Organization

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Tumbleweed Communications Corp. (Tumbleweed) without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Tumbleweeds audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2006.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (which include normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the financial position of
Tumbleweed and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The
results for the three months ended March 31, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tumbleweed and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Stock-Based Compensation

Effective
January 1, 2006, Tumbleweed adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the modified
prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation
awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS 123). Tumbleweed recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the unvested portion of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 on an accelerated basis over the vesting
period of the individual award consistent with its methodology prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and
Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 123R and compensation cost for these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, Tumbleweed
recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting
term. Tumbleweed estimated the forfeiture rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 based on its historical experience during the preceding 4.5 fiscal years. Estimated forfeitures are adjusted for actual forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

Prior to January 1, 2006, Tumbleweed accounted for its stock-based compensation arrangements for employees and non-employees using the
intrinsic-value method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense was generally recorded for fixed plan stock options on the
date of grant only when either the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeded the exercise price for stock options or when options were granted to non-employees.

Tumbleweed recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 under the requirements of SFAS 123R. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006,
Tumbleweeds net loss and net loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were both $1.6 million higher than if Tumbleweed had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. Both basic and
diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $0.03 per share higher than if Tumbleweed had not adopted SFAS 123R.

Tumbleweed recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $136,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2005. Had stock-based compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plan been determined consistent

with the fair value approach set forth in SFAS 123, Tumbleweeds net loss for the three months ended March 31,
2005 would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

On July 19, 2005, Tumbleweeds Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting
of certain unvested stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $3.82 per share previously awarded to its employees (including its executive officers) and its directors under its stock option plans. The acceleration of vesting was
effective for stock options outstanding as of July 19, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock were accelerated. All of the options accelerated had exercise prices greater than Tumbleweeds common
stock price of $3.24 on the date of acceleration. The weighted average exercise price of the options accelerated was $5.00. In accordance with the provisions of APB 25, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized as a result of the
acceleration since the exercise price of all the accelerated options exceeded Tumbleweeds common stock price on the date of acceleration. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable Tumbleweed to avoid recognizing compensation expense
associated with these options in future periods in its condensed consolidated statement of operations upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Tumbleweed estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected life of the options is based on the weighted average period of
time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and Tumbleweeds historical exercise patterns. Tumbleweeds expected volatility is based on the daily historical volatility of
Tumbleweeds common stock, over the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term to the expected life of the option.
Where the expected term of Tumbleweeds stock-based awards does not correspond with the terms for which interest rates are quoted, Tumbleweed performs a straight-line interpolation to determine the rate from the available term maturities.

##### Table of Contents

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is calculated as the difference between the exercise
price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of Tumbleweeds common stock for the 7.5 million options that had an exercise price above Tumbleweeds common stock closing price of $2.99 on March 31, 2006. During the three
months ended March 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under Tumbleweeds stock option plans was $465,000, determined as of the date of option exercise.

As of March 31, 2006 there was $5.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock
options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

No stock options were granted to
non-employees in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

At March 31, 2006, Tumbleweed has the following stock option plans as
described below:

1993 Stock Option Plan

On September 30, 1993, Tumbleweed adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (Plan). In 1999, Tumbleweeds Board of Directors approved an amendment to the plan to increase the number of shares authorized
for issuance by 650,000 shares to a total of 3,768,500 authorized shares. In August 1999, Tumbleweed ceased granting further options under the Plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price for incentive options is at least 100% of the fair market value
on the date of grant. The exercise price for nonqualified stock options is at least 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally expire in 10 years. Vesting periods are determined by the Board of Directors and generally
provide for 25% of the options to vest on the first anniversary date of the grant with the remaining options vesting monthly over the following 36 months.

1999 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan

The 1999 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan)
was approved by stockholders on August 3, 1999, for the benefit of Tumbleweeds officers, directors, key employees, advisors and consultants. An aggregate of 12,882,858 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the Incentive
Plan, which provides for the issuance of stock-based incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, and performance shares. The Incentive Plan provides for
an automatic annual increase in the number of stock options available for grant of the lesser of 2,000,000 shares or 5% of the number of Tumbleweeds outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan) was approved by stockholders on August 3, 1999, which allows eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount from fair market value. A total of 500,000 shares
of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan for each fiscal year occurring during the term of the Purchase Plan, which will terminate in 2009. Tumbleweed suspended the Purchase Plan in 2002.

2000 NSO Incentive Stock Plan

The
2000 NSO Incentive Stock Plan (NSO Incentive Plan) was adopted by Tumbleweeds Board of Directors on July 10, 2000. The NSO Incentive Plan qualifies as a broadly based plan and is for the benefit of
Tumbleweeds officers, directors, employees, advisors, and consultants. It provides for the issuance of stock-based incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, and performance shares
or any combination of such. The options granted under the NSO Incentive Plan are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. An aggregate of 4,181,500
shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the NSO Incentive Plan, which will terminate on July 10, 2010.

Under the terms
of the NSO Incentive Plan, the exercise price for stock options is determined by the Board of Directors, Compensation Committee, or Administrator, generally 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The option term is determined by the
Administrator, generally no longer than 10 years. Vesting periods are determined by the Administrator and generally provide for 25% of the options to vest on the first anniversary date of the grant with the remaining options vesting monthly over the
following 36 months.

Interface Stock Option Plans

On September 1, 2000, Tumbleweed assumed the Interface 1992 Stock Option Plan (1992 Plan) and 1993 Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors (Directors Plan) in connection with the Interface, Inc. acquisition. The 1992 Plan provided for the grant of both incentive stock options and non-qualified options to officers and key employees at not less than
market price on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Under the 1992 Plan, options generally vest at the rate of 33% per year after one year from the date of grant and have a term of ten years. The Directors Plan provided
for the grant to non-employee directors of non-qualified options at market price on the date of grant. The Directors Plan provides for discretionary grants with vesting determined at the time of grant with a term of ten years. A total of 236,000
shares of Tumbleweeds common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options assumed in connection with the acquisition of Interface. Tumbleweed registered an additional 304,023 shares for issuance from the 1992 Plan, that
was used to grant options to Interface employees at the time of the merger and who remain employed by Tumbleweed. The Directors Plan was terminated upon its assumption by Tumbleweed, and no further options will be granted under it.

Valicert Stock Option Plans

On
June 23, 2003, Tumbleweed assumed the Valicert 1998 Stock Option Plan, the 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Plan, the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, and the Receipt.com Plan in connection with the acquisition of Valicert, Inc. (Valicert).
These stock plans provide for the grant of options and restricted stock to employees, consultants and directors. Incentive stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Non-statutory options may be offered at not less than 85%
of the fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally vest over three to four years, are immediately exercisable and have a maximum term of 10 years. The number of stock options available for grant will automatically increase on the
first day of each fiscal year by the lesser of 1,413,912 shares or 5% of the number of Tumbleweeds outstanding shares on the last day of the preceding year. An aggregate of 6,323,399 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the
Valicert stock option plans.

Valicert stock option plans assumed by Tumbleweed were amended to conform with Tumbleweed stock option plans.
This provides Tumbleweed with the flexibility to issue additional options as needed and promotes uniformity in new options issued to ex-Valicert and Tumbleweed employees. Specifically, the 2001 Non-Statutory Stock Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan
and the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, were amended, including the forms of option agreements under each such plan, to conform the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under such plans to the terms and conditions applicable to options
granted under Tumbleweeds 1999 Omnibus Incentive Plan, including the form of option agreement under such plan.

In addition to
conforming the terms of the Valicert stock option plans assumed by Tumbleweed to Tumbleweeds stock option plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan was further amended prior to the closing of the merger to provide the following:



| |  |  | the number of shares of Valicert common stock available for grant under the 1998 Stock Option Plan immediately following the close of the merger was no less than 1.5 million
shares of Valicert common stock; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the provision of the 1998 Stock Option Plan that provides for a 5% annual increase in the number of stock options available for grant under such plan shall be calculated as a
percentage of the number of Tumbleweed shares issued and outstanding rather than the number of Valicert shares issued and outstanding.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corvigo Stock Option Plan

On March 18, 2004, Tumbleweed assumed the Corvigo 2002 Stock Option
Plan in connection with the acquisition of Corvigo, Inc. (Corvigo). This plan provides for the grant of options to employees, consultants and directors. Incentive stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant.
Non-statutory options may be offered at not less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. Generally, 25% of the options vest on the first anniversary date of the grant with the remaining options vesting monthly over the following
36 months. Options have a maximum term of 10 years. An aggregate of 884,678 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the Corvigo 2002 Stock Option Plan, which will not grant new options after November 15, 2012.

(4) Concentrations of Credit Risk and Revenue

Financial instruments, which potentially subject Tumbleweed to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. Tumbleweeds cash equivalents generally consist of money market mutual funds with qualified financial institutions. To reduce credit risk with accounts receivable, Tumbleweed performs periodic evaluations of its customers
financial conditions and, when necessary, records an allowance for credit losses. One customer comprised 41% of Tumbleweeds accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, at March 31, 2006, and this same customer
also comprised 25% of Tumbleweeds revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2006. No single customer comprised 10% or more of Tumbleweeds accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2005. For the three months ended
March 31, 2005, no single customer comprised 10% or more of Tumbleweeds revenue.

(5) Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets consist of the fair value of core/development technology, customer base and reseller agreements, maintenance agreements, and trademarks

and identified intangible assets. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized, but instead, is tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if certain
impairment conditions exist. Any future impairment loss related to the goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions will not be deductible by Tumbleweed for federal income tax purposes.

(8) Contingencies

In December 2001,
certain plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Valicert, alleging violations of federal securities laws. In re Valicert,
Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01-CV-10889 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). The operative amended complaint is brought on purported
behalf of all persons who purchased Valicert common stock from the date of its July 27, 2000 initial public offering (IPO) through December 6, 2000. It names as defendants Valicert, its former Chief Executive Officer, its Chief
Financial Officer (the Valicert Defendants), as well as an investment banking firm that served as an underwriter for the IPO. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the IPO did not disclose that: (1) the underwriter agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the IPO in exchange for excess
commissions to be paid to the underwriter; and (2) the underwriter arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The complaint also appears to allege that false or misleading analyst
reports were issued. The complaint does not claim any specific amount of damages. Similar allegations have been made in lawsuits relating to more than 300 other initial public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, all of which have been consolidated
for pretrial purposes. In February 2003, the Court issued a ruling on all defendants motions to dismiss, denying Valicerts motion to dismiss the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, but granting Valicerts motion to dismiss the
claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In June 2003, Valicert accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants
in this case. Under the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Valicert Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the
issuers in all the consolidated cases, and the assignment or surrender of control to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers will be required to pay the amount, if
any, by which $1 billion exceeds the aggregate amount ultimately collected by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all of the cases. If the plaintiffs fail to recover $1 billion and payment is required under the guaranty, Valicert would
be responsible to pay its pro rata portion of the shortfall, up to the amount of the deductible retention under its insurance policy, which is $500,000. The timing and amount of payments that Valicert could be required to make under the proposed
settlement will depend on several factors, principally the timing and amount of any payment required by the insurers pursuant to the $1 billion guaranty. The proposed settlement is subject to approval of the Court, which cannot be assured. In April
2006 the Court held a hearing on the proposed settlement but has not yet issued a ruling on the issue. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as Tumbleweed does not consider a
loss to be probable at this time.

In June 2003, Tumbleweed was served with a summons and first amended complaint, captioned Liu v.
Credit Suisse First Boston, et alia, alleging the violation of federal and state securities laws, purportedly on behalf of persons who acquired the common stock of Tumbleweed (other than purchasers of Tumbleweeds IPO) from August 6,
1999 to October 18, 2000. The case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where in March 2005, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice. In June 2005 plaintiffs filed an appeal of the
dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which, in May 2006 heard oral argument on the appeal. The case remains pending in the Court of Appeals. An adverse outcome in this case could harm Tumbleweeds business
and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as Tumbleweed does not consider a
loss to be probable at this time.

All costs incurred as a result of these legal proceedings and claims are charged to expense as incurred.
Tumbleweed indemnifies its customers from third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of its products. Historically, costs related to these guarantees have not been significant. Tumbleweed is unable to estimate the
potential impact of these guarantees on its future results of operations.

(9) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107) regarding the SECs interpretation of
SFAS 123R. This interpretation expresses the views of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SECs views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public
companies. In particular, SAB 107 provides guidance related to share-based payment transactions with non-employees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity status, valuation methods, the accounting for certain redeemable financial instruments
issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classification of compensation expense, non generally accepted accounting principles financial measures, first-time adoption of SFAS 123R in an interim period, capitalization of compensation cost
related to share-based payment arrangements, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the modification of employee share options prior to adoption of Statement 123R and disclosures in
Managements Discussion and Analysis subsequent to adoption of SFAS 123R. Tumbleweed adopted SAB 107 in connection with its adoption of SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006, beginning January 1, 2006.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Tumbleweeds Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2005 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included therein. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect
our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below
and at Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors to this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Tumbleweed Communications Corp. (Tumbleweed or we) is a recognized expert in providing secure Internet communication solutions for
enterprise and government customers of all sizes. With our products, organizations can block security threats, protect information, safely conduct business online, and reduce their cost of doing business. Tumbleweed provides solutions for
inbound & outbound email protection, secure file routing, and identity validation that allow organizations to safely conduct business over the Internet. Tumbleweed offers these solutions in three comprehensive product suites: MailGate,
SecureTransport, and Validation Authority. MailGate provides protection against spam, viruses, and attacks, and enables policy-based message filtering, encryption, and routing. SecureTransport enables customers to safely exchange large
files and transactions without proprietary software. Validation Authority is a world-leading solution for determining the validity of digital certificates.

We are trusted by over 1,700 enterprise and government customers who use our products to connect with over ten thousand corporations and millions of end-users. Our market focus is in the financial services,
healthcare, and government markets. We provide comprehensive security solutions for email protection, file transfers, and identity validation that allow organizations to safely conduct business over the Internet. Using products from our secure
Internet communications portfolio, organizations can block security threats, protect information assets, and enable the safe exchange of messages, files, and transactions.

Our operating results during the three months ended March 31, 2006 improved relative to the same three months in 2005 in revenue and net loss. Our
growth in revenue of 26% was driven by increased revenue from our SecureTransport product, and revenue growth in our targeted customer sector in the financial services market. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had one transaction
with a single customer comprising 25% of our revenue for the period which contributed to both the increased revenue from our SecureTransport product and the revenue growth in our targeted customer sector. Our reduction in net loss of 9% was due to
our growth in revenues and our continuing focus on generating cost efficiencies, the positive effect of which was partially offset by stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Backlog

Our backlog consists of deferred revenue as well as contractual commitments that are not due and payable as of the
balance sheet date, or for which collectibility is in doubt, and/or for which the product or service has not yet been delivered. Our backlog excludes all items relating to consulting and training services. Backlog was $23.4 million at both
March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. We believe that approximately $17.8 million of the backlog at March 31, 2006 will be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months.

Outlook

We believe that our success in 2006 will depend on our ability to increase customer adoption of our products; our ability to successfully expand our sales internationally and through distribution by third party resellers; our ability to
further implement the processes related to selling hardware appliance products, such as supply chain effectiveness; and our ability to maintain control over expenses and cash. We believe that key risks include overall economic conditions and the
overall level of information technology spending; economic and business conditions within our target customer sectors in the financial services, health care, and government markets; timing of the closure of customer contracts; the integration of our
new Chief Executive Officer, and competitive factors in our rapidly changing industry. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given
that we operate in rapidly evolving markets, have completed several acquisitions and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties. Please refer to the Risk Factors section at
Part II, Item 1A for additional information.

Recent Event

In January 2006, our Board of Directors named James P. Scullion as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Scullion replaced Craig D. Brennan who had served as Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Directors until Mr. Brennan resigned from these positions in January 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed 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 in determining the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, customer arrangements, collectibility of accounts
receivable, valuation of assets, and contingencies and litigation. When making estimates, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that the following
critical accounting policies represent areas where significant judgments and estimates have been used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from three sources: (i) product revenue, which
includes license fees for products sold as software or on appliances, subscription-based license fees, and transaction-based license fees; (ii) service revenue, which includes support and maintenance fees, consulting fees, and training fees;
and (iii) intellectual property and other revenue which includes patent license agreement fees and the sale of distribution rights. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the
revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period based on the judgments and estimates made by our management.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), as
amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions (SOP 98-9).

We make significant judgments related to revenue recognition. Specifically, in connection with each transaction involving our products, we must evaluate whether: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is probable. We apply these criteria as discussed below.



| |  | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. We require a written contract, signed by both the customer and us, or a purchase order from those customers that have previously
negotiated a standard license arrangement or volume purchase agreement with us prior to recognizing revenue on an arrangement.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Delivery has occurred. We deliver software to our customers physically or electronically. For physical deliveries, our standard transfer terms are typically free on board, or
FOB, shipping point. For electronic deliveries, delivery occurs when we provide the customer access codes or keys that allow the customer to take immediate possession of the software.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  | The fee is fixed or determinable. Our determination that an arrangement fee is fixed or determinable depends principally on the arrangements payment terms. Our standard
payment terms require the arrangement fee to be due within 90 days. Where these terms apply, we regard the fee as fixed or determinable, and we recognize revenue upon delivery (assuming other revenue recognition criteria are met). If the payment
terms did not meet this standard, which we refer to as extended payment terms, we do not consider the fee to be fixed or determinable and generally recognize revenue when customer installments are due and payable.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Collectibility is probable. To recognize revenue, we must judge collectibility of the arrangement fees, which we do on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to our credit
review policy. We typically sell to customers with whom we have a history of successful collection. For new customers, we evaluate the customers financial position and ability to pay. If we determined that collectibility is not probable based
upon our credit review process or the customers payment history, we recognize revenue when payment is received.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We
allocate revenue on software transactions (referred to as an arrangement in the accounting literature) involving multiple elements to each undelivered element based on their respective fair values. The residual is allocated to the
product license. Our determination of fair value of each element in multiple element arrangements is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE). We limit our assessment of VSOE for each element to the price charged when the same
element is sold separately.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Under
this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date
fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). We recognize stock-based compensation expense for the unvested portion of stock-based
compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual award consistent with our methodology prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and consistent with the
method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards
granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and compensation cost for these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of
the award, which is generally the option vesting term. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, we recognize stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognize the compensation expense for only those shares
expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience during the preceding term that equals the expected life of the options.
The expected life of the options is based on the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. Our expected volatility is based on
the daily historical volatility of our common stock, over the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term to the expected
life of the option. Where the expected term of our stock-based awards does not correspond with the terms for which interest rates are quoted, we perform a straight-line interpolation to determine the rate from the available term maturities.
Determining the fair value of stock based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected life of stock options, the expected volatility of our stock and the amount of stock options expected to be forfeited. To the
extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially
from our current estimates and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

Valuation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. A considerable
amount of judgment is required when we assess the realization of receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. We must make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts
receivable. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, including review of historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends, aging of the balance and estimated collectibility percentages for different aging ranges, and
changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of certain of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, we
might record a specific allowance against amounts owed to us by those customers, and thereby reduce the value of the receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. If all collection efforts have been exhausted, we would write off
the receivable against the allowance.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following:



| |  |  | significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant changes in the manner or our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our market capitalization relative to our net book value.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

We evaluate goodwill at least on an annual basis for indications of impairment based on our fair value as determined by our market capitalization in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS
142). If this evaluation indicates that the value of the goodwill may be impaired, we make an assessment of the impairment of the goodwill using the two-step method prescribed by SFAS 142. Any such impairment charge could be significant and
have a material adverse effect on our reported financial statements. We did not record any impairment charges on our goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2006 or 2005, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, we had goodwill of
$48.1 million.

Accrual for Anticipated Operating Lease Losses

We assess anticipated operating lease losses whenever we determine that our usage of our facility space will be impacted by business conditions and subsequently reevaluate anticipated losses each time a sublease is
entered into or exited. Changing market conditions make anticipated operating lease losses not easily determinable. During 2003 we recognized a charge of $996,000 related to potential losses on an operating lease in Slough, United Kingdom that was
included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs. The charge was estimated to include required repairs, remaining lease liabilities, and brokerage fees, offset by estimated sublease income. During 2004
we recognized an additional charge of $168,000 on this same lease that was included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs due to a revised estimate of the term of expected subleases on the building.
During 2005, we recognized a $296,000 credit related to this same lease that was included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs due to the combined cost of the final lease settlement payments,
commissions, brokerage fees, and legal fees related to the termination of this lease being less than the existing accrual for the loss on the lease. During 2004, we recognized a charge of $183,000 related to potential losses on an operating lease in
Palo Alto, California that was included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as Merger-related and other costs. The charge was estimated to include remaining lease liabilities and brokerage fees, offset by estimated sublease income.
This office space was subleased in December 2004 for the remainder of the lease term with sublease rental income less than our rent payments due to a weak office rental market in and around Palo Alto. Estimates related to sublease costs and income
are based on assumptions regarding the period required to locate and contract with a sublessee, sublease rates, and brokerage fees. Each reporting period we review these estimates, and to the extent that our assumptions change and/or actual charges
are incurred, the ultimate charge for the loss on this operating lease could vary from our current estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

Revenue. Revenue, which consists of product revenue, service revenue and intellectual property and other revenue, results from new contracts and backlog. We define backlog as deferred revenue, contractual commitments that are not due
and payable as of the balance sheet date, or for which collectibility is in doubt, and/or for which the product or service has not yet been delivered. Product revenue consists of license fees, subscription-based license fees, and transaction-based
license fees. Service revenue includes support and maintenance fees, consulting fees, and training fees. Intellectual property and other revenue consists of patent license agreement fees and the sale of distribution rights. Total revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 increased to $15.1 million from $12.0 million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in product revenue and a $1.1 million increase in
service revenue partially offset by a decrease in intellectual property and other revenue of $1.0 million.



18

##### Table of Contents

Product revenue increased to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $4.4
million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in product revenue was due to an increase in license revenue of $3.2 million, partially offset by decreases in subscription-based license revenue and transaction-based license revenue of
$157,000 and $61,000, respectively. The increase in license revenue was primarily due to an increase in license revenues for our SecureTransport product and in our target market in the financial services sector. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we had one transaction with a single customer comprising 25% of our revenue for the period which contributed to both of these increases. The decreases in subscription-based license revenue and transaction-based license revenue
were due to our continued transition away from those selling models and towards selling perpetual licenses with associated support and maintenance contracts.

Service revenue increased to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $6.1 million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in service revenue was primarily due to an increase in support
and maintenance revenue of $1.0 million. The increase in support and maintenance revenue was due to revenue growth in our installed customer base, an increase in sales of our dynamic anti-spam service which is sold on a subscription fee basis, and
an expansion of our customer base.

Intellectual property and other revenue decreased to $375,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2006 from $1.4 million for the same three months in 2005. The decrease in intellectual property was due to a decrease in patent license revenue.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue is comprised of product costs, service costs, and the amortization of intangible assets for core/developed technology and maintenance agreements relating to the acquisitions of Valicert, Inc.
(Valicert), Tumbleweed Communications Limited (formerly Incubator, Limited), and Corvigo, Inc (Corvigo). Product costs are primarily comprised of royalties paid to third parties for software licensed by us for inclusion in
our products, the cost of our appliance products, and employee and employee-related costs for hardware operations, including stock-based compensation expense in accordance with our adoption of SFAS 123R during the three months ended March 31,
2006. Service costs are comprised primarily of employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for customer support, consulting and training, and contract development projects with third parties. Total cost of
revenue increased to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.2 million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in total cost of revenue was due to a $276,000 increase in product costs and a $258,000 increase in
service costs.

Cost of product revenue increased to $723,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $447,000 for the same
three months in 2005. The increase in product costs was primarily due to an increase of $311,000 in royalties paid to third parties for software licensed by us for inclusion in our products. The increase in royalties was due to the addition of new
software licenses from third parties included in our products.

Service costs increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 from $1.3 million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in service costs was primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs of $108,000, an increase in consulting costs of $56,000, and an increase
in recruiting expenses of $35,000. Employee and employee-related costs increased due to an increase in average services headcount to 53 employees for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 44 employees for the same three months in 2005 and
a $38,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense due to our adoption of SFAS 123R. The increase in average services headcount was primarily due to the need for greater personnel resources to fulfill our service requirements due to our
increased service revenues. Consulting costs increased due to utilization of third-parties to assist us with growing requirements for our increased service revenues. Recruiting expenses increased due to the utilization of third-parties to assist in
our hiring processes with little comparable expenses for the same three months in 2005. We expect cost of service revenue to increase on a year-over-year basis during the remainder of 2006 due to an anticipated increase in employee and
employee-related costs due to increased headcount required to meet our customer requirements and an increase in stock-based compensation expense resulting from our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenue was $510,000 each for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The amortization
of intangible assets did not change due to equivalent amounts of straight line amortization of intangible assets in both periods.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses are primarily comprised of employee and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and other costs required for the development and quality
assurance of our products. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased



19



---

##### Table of Contents

to $3.4 million from $2.9 million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in research and development expenses
was primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs of $419,000. Employee and employee-related costs increased primarily due to a $206,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense due to our adoption of SFAS 123R, and due to
salary increases and growth in average engineering headcount to 151 employees for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 135 employees for the same three months in 2005. The increase in average engineering headcount was driven by our
efforts to broaden and upgrade our products and due to a realignment of resources into our research and development function from other functions during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We expect research and development expense to
increase on a year-over-year basis during the remainder of 2006 due to an anticipated increase in employee and employee-related costs due to growth in average engineering headcount as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense resulting
from our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses are primarily comprised of employee and
employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, travel expenses, and costs associated with marketing programs. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $6.3
million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $146,000 in stock-based compensation expense due to our adoption of SFAS 123R. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase on a
year-over-year basis during the remainder of 2006 due to an anticipated increase in employee and employee-related costs driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense resulting from our adoption of SFAS 123R.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee and employee-related costs, including
stock-based compensation expense, for our administrative, finance, legal, and human resources departments as well as public reporting costs, and professional fees including intellectual property enforcement and protection costs. General and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased to $3.4 million from $1.5 million for the same three months in 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in employee and
employee-related costs, legal expenses, and bad debt expense. Employee and employee-related costs increased by $1.4 million primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense due to our adoption of SFAS 123R. Legal expenses
increased by $165,000 due to various legal matters. Bad debt expense increased by $80,000 due to an increase in our accounts receivable balance. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase during the remainder of 2006 on a
year-over-year basis due to an anticipated increase in employee and employee-related costs driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense resulting from our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses consists of the amortization of intangible
assets for customer base and reseller agreements and trademarks and tradenames recorded as a result of the Valicert, Tumbleweed Communications Limited, and Corvigo acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets included in operating expenses for
each of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was $510,000.

Other income, net. Other income, net, is
generally comprised of interest income earned on investment securities and interest expense incurred on outstanding debt. Other income, net, increased to $264,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $229,000 for the same three months
in 2005. The increase in other income, net was primarily due to an increase in interest income due to an increase in interest rates and a larger cash balance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of equity
securities. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $27.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Net cash provided by operating
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $532,000, which was primarily the result of our net loss of $1.0 million and an adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities due to a non-cash charge for
stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $532,000 from net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 of $661,000 was primarily due to a $2.3 million larger increase in our accounts receivable, net balance during the three months ended March 31, 2006 relative to the same three months in 2005, partially offset by a $1.8
million larger increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities, a $100,000 reduction in our net loss, and an $80,000 increase in non-cash charges for bad debt expense.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased to $440,000 from $352,000 for the same three months in
2005. Net cash used in investing activities for both three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was comprised of purchases of property and equipment. Purchases of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31,
2006 increased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to growing demand for computer equipment driven by an increased number of employees.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased to
$372,000 from $5,000 for the same three months in 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2006 was comprised solely of an inflow for the proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the
exercises of stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2005 was comprised of an inflow of $72,000 for the proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercises of stock options,
partially offset by an outflow of $67,000 related to repayments on a bank loan originally assumed in the acquisition of Valicert. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was due to a $300,000 increase in proceeds from the issuance
of common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same three months in 2005 due to an increase in stock option exercises. In addition, the bank loan was repaid in full in the three months ended September 30, 2005
and accordingly no borrowings remained or were repaid in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, our
principal commitments consisted of obligations related to outstanding operating leases and unconditional purchase obligations. We do not anticipate a substantial increase in operating lease obligations in the immediate future.

In the acquisition of Valicert, we assumed debt of $855,000 resulting from equipment leases with two financing companies. During 2003, this debt was
refinanced with an $800,000 loan with a bank. This debt was repaid in full during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

In June
1999, we entered into an operating lease covering approximately 40,000 square feet of office space in Redwood City, California and renewed that lease in 2003. The renewed lease expires in July 2008 with current monthly rent payments of approximately
$75,000.

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including revenue generated from operations and market acceptance of our
products and services, and the resources devoted to the development of our products and services and to sales and marketing and other operating activities. We believe that our existing capital resources should enable us to maintain our current and
planned operations for at least the next twelve months. Our current cash reserves, however, may be insufficient if we experience either lower than expected revenues or extraordinary or unexpected cash expenses, or for other reasons. Funding, if
pursued, may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail significantly or defer one or more of our operating goals or programs, or take other steps that could harm our business
or future operating results. We will continue to consider future financing alternatives, which may include the incurrence of debt, additional public or private equity offerings or an equity investment by a strategic partner; however, we have no
present commitments or arrangements assuring us of any future equity or debt financing.

At March 31, 2006, we did not have any
relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet
arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Future cash payments for contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2006, are as follows (in thousands):

The amounts above will be offset by anticipated sublease receipts of $183,000, and $20,000 in
2006, and 2007, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We currently do not use financial
instruments to hedge operating expenses in Australia, Bulgaria, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom denominated in the respective local currency. We assess the need to utilize financial instruments to
hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we
hedge our foreign currency exposure in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. We regularly review our hedging program and may as part of this review determine at any time to change our hedging program.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The primary
objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we have invested in may be subject to
market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed rate equal to the then-prevailing interest rate and the
prevailing interest rate later rises, the fair value of our investment will decline. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in commercial paper and money market funds. In general, our investments are not subject to
market risk because the interest paid on these funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate to preserve the fair value of the investments. As of March 31, 2006, none of our cash equivalents were subject to market risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of March 31, 2006. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in internal
controls over financial reporting.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the thee months ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In December 2001, certain plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Valicert, alleging violations of federal securities laws. In re Valicert, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation,
No. 01-CV-10889 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). The operative amended complaint is brought on purported behalf of all persons who purchased Valicert common stock from
the date of its July 27, 2000 initial public offering (IPO) through December 6, 2000. It names as defendants Valicert, its former Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer (the Valicert Defendants), as
well as an investment banking firm that served as an underwriter for the IPO. The complaint alleges liability under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds
that the registration statement for the IPO did not disclose that: (1) the underwriter agreed to allow certain customers to purchase shares in the IPO in exchange for excess commissions to the paid to the underwriter; and (2) the
underwriter arranged for certain customers to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined prices. The complaint also appears to allege that false or misleading analyst reports were issued. The complaint does not claim any specific
amount of damages. Similar allegations have been made in lawsuits relating to more than 300 other initial public offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000, all of which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes. In February 2003, the Court issued a
ruling on all defendants motions to dismiss, denying Valicerts motion to dismiss the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, but granting Valicerts motion to dismiss the claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In June 2003, Valicert accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants in this case. Under the proposed settlement, the
plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Valicert Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all the consolidated cases, and the
assignment or surrender of control to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers will be required to pay the amount, if any, by which $1 billion exceeds the aggregate
amount ultimately collected by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all of the cases. If the plaintiffs fail to recover $1 billion and payment is required under the guaranty, Valicert would be responsible to pay its pro rata portion of
the shortfall, up to the amount of the deductible retention under its insurance policy, which is $500,000. The timing and amount of payments that Valicert could be required to make under the proposed settlement will depend on several factors,
principally the timing and amount of any payment required by the insurers pursuant to the $1 billion guaranty. The proposed settlement is subject to approval of the Court, which cannot be assured. In April 2006 the Court held a hearing on the
proposed settlement but has not yet issued a ruling on the issue. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

In June 2003, we were served with a summons and first amended complaint, captioned Liu v. Credit Suisse First Boston, et alia, alleging the
violation of federal and state securities laws, purportedly on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock of (other than purchasers of our IPO) from August 6, 1999 to October 18, 2000. The case was transferred to the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, where, in March 2005, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice. In June 2005 plaintiffs filed an appeal of the dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which
heard oral argument on the appeal in May 2006. The case remains pending in the Court of Appeals. An adverse outcome in this case could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating
results. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

All costs incurred as a result of these legal proceedings and claims are charged to expense as incurred.

We indemnify our customers from third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these
guarantees have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the potential impact of these guarantees on our future results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We have a history of losses and may experience losses in the future.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies engaged in rapidly evolving
technology markets like ours. We incurred net losses of $3.9 million, $7.5 million, and $9.2 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, we had incurred cumulative net losses of $291.7 million.

Our success may depend in large part upon the adoption and utilization of our products and technology, as well as our ability to effectively maintain
existing relationships and develop new relationships with customers and strategic partners. If we do not succeed in doing so, we may not achieve or maintain profitability on a timely basis or at all. In particular, we intend to expend significant
financial and management resources on product development, sales and marketing, strategic relationships, technology and operating infrastructure. As a result, we may incur additional losses for the foreseeable future and may not achieve or maintain
profitability.

If we do not develop our products, marketing and distribution channels more successfully than our competitors, our business could be
harmed.

If we do not optimize our methods of producing, marketing and selling our products, it could significantly limit our ability to
compete successfully against current and future competitors. The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Vendors in our markets use different methods of marketing and distribution in order to meet expected
customer demand. For example, our competitors include multiple software-only vendors, appliance-only vendors, and service providers, as well as vendors that offer a combination of some or all of the foregoing. Moreover, vendors offerings range
from single-function point products and services to more sophisticated and scalable multi-functional offerings. In addition, pricing and other terms and conditions of sales contracts also vary considerably among our competition. Because it is
difficult to predict demand in our rapidly changing markets, we may not be able to manage our marketing and sales efforts in an optimal way, which may disadvantage our business in comparison to competitors.

Additional competitive factors in our industry include customer-driven requirements such as additional functionality, improved product performance, ease
of use, integration capacity, platform coverage, and the quality of each vendors global technical support. Some of our competitors have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we do, as well as greater name
recognition and a larger installed customer base. Additionally, some of these competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products that may compete with product lines we market and
distribute.

We expect that the market for email and data security products will become more consolidated with larger companies being
better positioned to compete in such an environment in the long term. As this market continues to develop, a number of companies with greater resources than ours could attempt to increase their presence in this market by acquiring or forming
strategic alliances with our competitors or business partners.

Our success will depend on our ability to adapt to these competing forces,
to develop more effective products more rapidly and less expensively than our competitors, and to educate potential customers as to the benefits of licensing our products rather than developing their own products. Competitors could introduce
products with superior features, scalability and functionality at lower prices than our products and could also bundle existing or new products with other more established products in order to compete with us. In addition, because there are
relatively low barriers to entry for the software market, we expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share,
any of which could harm our business.

In addition, our success depends on our ability to grow and develop our indirect distribution
channels and the inability to do so could adversely affect future operating results. Our failure to increase revenue through our indirect distribution channels could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial
condition. We must increase the number of strategic and other third-party relationships with vendors of Internet-related systems and application software, resellers and systems integrators. Our existing or future channel partners may choose to
devote greater resources to marketing and supporting the products of other companies.

The volume of spam may not continue to grow rapidly, which may
adversely affect the market for anti-spam solutions.

Although the volume of spam has grown rapidly during the last several years, it
may not continue to do so because of recently enacted anti-spam legislation, enforcement efforts under that legislation, and collaborative efforts by leaders of the email provider industry, as well as the potential development of new and successful
anti-spam technologies. Accordingly, the market for anti-spam solutions may not continue to grow rapidly and may in fact decline, which may adversely affect our business.

Contractual issues may arise during the negotiation of license agreements that may delay the anticipated closure of a
transaction and our ability to recognize revenue as anticipated.

Because we focus on selling enterprise-wide software products to
enterprises and government entities, the process of contractual negotiation is critical and may be lengthy. Additionally, many factors may require us to defer recognition of license revenue for a significant period of time after entering into a
license agreement.

Many customers negotiate software licenses near the end of each quarter. In part, this is because customers are able,
or believe that they are able, to negotiate lower prices and more favorable terms at that time. Our reliance on a large portion of software license revenue occurring at the end of the quarter and the increase in the dollar value of transactions that
occur at the end of a quarter can result in increased uncertainty relating to quarterly revenues. Due to end-of-period variances, forecasts may not be achieved, either because expected sales do not occur or because they occur at lower prices or on
terms that are less favorable to us.

A limited number of customers account for a high percentage of our revenue, and the failure to maintain or expand
these relationships could adversely affect our future revenue.

The loss of one or more of our major customers, the failure to attract
new customers on a timely basis or a reduction in revenue associated with existing or proposed customers would harm our future revenue and prospects. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, five customers comprised approximately 37%
and 16% of our revenue, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, one customer comprised approximately 25% of our revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, no single customer comprised 10% or more of our revenue.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may not be predictable and may result in significant volatility in our stock price.

Our product revenue has fluctuated and our quarterly operating results may continue to fluctuate based on, among other things, the timing of the execution
and termination of customer agreements in a given quarter. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in revenue and operating results from quarter to quarter for other reasons, including the timing of our target
customers election to adopt and implement our technology, election of our customers to delay their purchase commitments or purchase in smaller amounts, and timing and ability to continue to license our patents. Further, we have experienced and
may continue to experience difficulty in managing the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to our business, operations and infrastructure as well as collecting fees owed by customers. Finally, any acquisitions or
divestitures we complete as well as the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products and services in the secure content management, content security, secure online communications, or document delivery markets may create additional
volatility in our results.

As a result of these factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating
results are not necessarily meaningful, and that these comparisons may not be accurate indicators of future performance. We may not be able to accurately forecast our revenue or expenses. Because our staffing and operating expenses are based on
anticipated revenue levels, and because a high percentage of our costs are fixed, small variations in the timing of the recognition of specific revenue could cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. In addition,
many of our customers delay purchases of our products until the end of each quarter. If we are unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, any significant revenue shortfall would likely have an
immediate negative effect on our operating results. Moreover, we believe the challenges and difficulties that we face, as outlined above with respect to financial forecasts, also apply to securities analysts that may publish estimates of our
financial results. Our operating results in the past have, and in future quarters may, fail to meet our expectations or those of securities analysts or our investors due to any of a wide variety of factors, including fluctuations in financial ratios
or other metrics used to measure our performance. If this occurs, we would expect to experience an immediate and significant decline in the trading price of our stock.

Economic conditions that result in a decrease in information technology spending could adversely affect our ability to maintain and increase revenue.

Our revenue and profitability or loss depends on the overall demand for our products, our intellectual property, and our services, particularly within the
industries in which we offer specific versions of our products. Because our sales are primarily to customers in the financial services, health care, and government markets, our business depends on the overall economic conditions and the economic and
business conditions within these industries. Any weakening of the global



25



---

##### Table of Contents

economy, the information technology industry in particular, or the weakening of the business conditions within the above
industries could cause a decrease in our license revenues. A softening of demand for information technology spending caused by a continued weakening of the economy, domestically or internationally, may result in a decrease in revenues and continued
losses.

We expect to continue making strategic investments and acquisitions and potentially divest assets, which may involve substantial costs, may
substantially dilute our existing investors, and may fail to yield anticipated benefits.

We are continuously evaluating investments in
complementary technologies and businesses as well as strategic divestments. Acquisitions of companies, divisions of companies, or products, as well as divestitures entail numerous risks, including:



| |  | potential inability to successfully integrate acquired operations, technologies, people in dispersed geographic areas and products or to realize cost savings or other anticipated
benefits from integration as well as the existence of potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired business;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the inability to recognize revenue from target acquisitions or assess the relative percentages of in-process research and development expense that can be immediately written off as
compared to the amount which must be amortized over the appropriate life of the asset in accordance with our expectations;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | diversion of managements attention, disruption of ongoing business and impairment of relationships with employees and customers of either an acquired company or our business;
and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | coordinating sales and pricing efforts to effectively communicate the value and capabilities of the combined company.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of acquisitions, we may acquire significant assets that include goodwill and other intangible assets. The testing of these intangible assets
under established accounting guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in business conditions could require adjustments to the valuation of these assets.

Our stock price could be adversely affected if we are unable to continue to favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or if
our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified report on our assessment.

In the future, we may
encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any changes necessary to make a favorable assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, in connection with the attestation process by our independent
registered public accounting firm, we may encounter future problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving a favorable attestation. If we cannot favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting, investor confidence and our stock price could be adversely affected.

The terms of any financing we may obtain could
result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders.

In the future, we may be required or elect to seek additional financing to
fund our operations. Factors such as the commercial success of our existing products and services, the timing and success of any new products and services, the progress of our research and development efforts, our results of operations, the status
of competitive products and services, and the timing and success of potential strategic alliances or potential opportunities to acquire or sell technologies or assets may require us to seek additional funding sooner than we expect. In the event that
we require additional cash, we may not be able to secure additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, especially in light of uncertainty in the current market environment, and we may not be successful in implementing or negotiating such
other arrangements to improve our cash position. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced and the securities we issue might have rights,
preferences and privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. If adequate funds were not available on acceptable terms or at all, our ability to achieve or sustain positive cash flows, maintain current operations, fund any potential
expansion, take advantage of new opportunities, develop or enhance products or services, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly limited.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could discourage or prevent an acquisition of us, which could depress our stock price.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, may discourage or prevent an acquisition or
disposition of our business. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may inhibit changes of control that are not approved by our Board of Directors. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of our common stock. In particular, our certificate of incorporation includes



26



---

##### Table of Contents

provisions for a classified Board of Directors and prohibits stockholder action by written consent. Further, our bylaws
contain provisions requiring advance notice for nomination of directors and stockholders proposals. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, this law
prevents a person who becomes the owner of 15% or more of the corporations outstanding voting stock from engaging in specified business combinations for three years unless specified conditions are satisfied. In addition, our certificate of
incorporation allows our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. The issuance of preferred stock also could effectively limit the voting power of the holders of our common stock. This could have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be subject to
claims of patent infringement, either of which could result in substantial costs to us.

We currently rely on a combination of patents,
trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and licenses, together with non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. We hold certain patent rights with respect to some of our products. Our
existing patents or trademarks, as well as any future patents or trademarks obtained by us, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or
superior to our technology. We also rely on unpatented trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary information. Although we take precautionary measures to maintain our unpatented proprietary information, others may acquire equivalent information
or otherwise gain access to or disclose our proprietary information, and we may be unable to meaningfully protect our rights to our proprietary information. As a result, our operating results could suffer.

Third parties could assert patent or other intellectual property infringement claims against us and the cost of responding to such assertions, regardless
of their validity, could be significant. We may increasingly be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement as the number of our competitors grows and the functionality of their products and services increasingly overlap with ours. In
addition, we may infringe upon patents that may be issued to third parties in the future. It may be time consuming and costly to defend ourselves against any of these claims and we may not prevail. Furthermore, parties making such claims may be able
to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could block our ability to further develop or commercialize some or all of our products in the United States and abroad. In the event of a claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or
more licenses from or pay royalties to third parties. We may be unable to obtain any such licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain such license could harm our business.

The enforcement of our intellectual property rights, especially through patent infringement lawsuits we may initiate, could result in substantial litigation costs and
ultimately may not result in additional revenue to us or a favorable judicial determination.

Since 1999 we have aggressively pursued
cases of potential infringement by third parties of our patents and other intellectual property rights. The enforcement process is costly and requires significant management attention. These costs are expensed during the period incurred, and the
costs of pursuing the litigation may not be directly matched with the related patent license agreement revenue, if any. In addition, our enforcement of our rights may increase the risk of adverse claims, with or without merit, which could be time
consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert managements attention and resources, limit the use of our services, or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. In addition, such counter-claims asserted by these third
parties may be found to be valid and could result in an injunction or damages against us. Our ability to prevail in this litigation is inherently uncertain, and if we were subject to an adverse judicial determination, our ability to protect our
products and to secure related licensing or settlement revenue could be lost.

Failure to license necessary third party software incorporated in our products could cause delays or reductions in our
sales.

We license third party software that we incorporate into our products. These licenses may not continue to be available on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Some of this technology would be difficult to replace. The loss of any such license could result in delays or reductions of our applications until we identify, license and integrate or develop equivalent
software. If we are required to enter into license agreements with third parties for replacement technology, we could face higher royalty payments and our products may lose certain attributes or features. In the future, we might need to license
other software to enhance our products and meet evolving customer needs. If we are unable to do this, we could experience reduced demand for our products.

Our appliance products may not be adopted in the market and may expose us to hardware supply chain issues.

As a result of
the product and technology acquired in the Corvigo acquisition, we have seen an increase in sales of our products sold as hardware appliances, which are manufactured by a third-party. The inclusion of these hardware appliances in our product
portfolio subjects us to additional risks, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | the inability of the manufacturer to perform in accordance with our expectations, in particular our expectations regarding the hardware appliances compliance with any
applicable regulations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability to deliver appliance products to customers in a timely manner, harming our ability to win time-sensitive customer contracts and/or recognize revenue;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product shortages that could result in increased product costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | price increases from suppliers that may not be able to be passed on to customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | oversupply or obsolescence of inventory, which may result in the need to reduce our prices and/or write down inventory; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product quality issues.
| | - |  | -----------------------

The occurrence of any of these
events could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We are a defendant in two purported securities class action lawsuits that could
divert management attention and resources or eventually expose us to liability.

In June 2003, we were served with a summons and first
amended complaint, captioned Liu v. Credit Suisse First Boston, et alia, alleging the violation of federal and state securities laws, purportedly on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock of (other than purchasers of our initial
public offering) from August 6, 1999 to October 18, 2000. The case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where in March 2005, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice. In June 2005
plaintiffs filed an appeal of the dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which heard oral argument on the appeal in May 2006. The case remains pending in the Court of Appeals. An adverse outcome in this case could
harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not
consider a loss to be probable at this time.

In December 2001, certain plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Valicert, alleging violations of federal securities laws. In re Valicert, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01-CV-10889
(SAS) (S.D.N.Y.), related to In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 21 MC 92 (SAS). In June 2003, Valicert accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants in this case. Under the proposed settlement, the
plaintiffs will dismiss and release all claims against the Valicert Defendants in exchange for a contingent payment guaranty by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all the consolidated cases, and the
assignment or surrender of control to the plaintiffs of certain claims the issuer defendants may have against the underwriters. Under the guaranty, the insurers will be required to pay the amount, if any, by which $1 billion exceeds the aggregate
amount ultimately collected by the plaintiffs from the underwriter defendants in all of the cases. If the plaintiffs fail to recover $1 billion and payment is required under the guaranty, Valicert would be responsible to pay its pro rata portion of
the shortfall, up to the amount of the deductible retention under its insurance policy, which is $500,000. The timing and amount of payments that Valicert could be required to make under the proposed settlement will depend on several factors,
principally the timing and amount of any payment required by the insurers pursuant to the $1 billion guaranty. The proposed settlement is subject to approval of the Court, which cannot be

assured. In April 2006 the Court held a hearing on the proposed settlement but has not yet issued a ruling on the issue.
Failure of the Court to approve the settlement followed by an adverse outcome could harm our business and operating results. Moreover, the costs in defending this lawsuit could harm future operating results. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include a reserve for any potential loss, as we do not consider a loss to be probable at this time.

If we lose the services
of executive officers or other key employees, our ability to develop our business and secure customer relationships will suffer.

We are substantially
dependent on the continued services and performance of our executive officers and other key personnel and do not have long-term employment agreements with any of our key personnel. In this regard, we recently appointed a new Chief Executive Officer,
which subjects us to heightened risks related to this transition as he assumes this role and makes changes to our business and operations. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could significantly delay or
prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives.

Our international business exposes us to additional risks that may result in
future additional costs or limit the market for product sales.

Products and services provided to our international customers accounted
for 7% and 11% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Conducting business outside of the United States subjects us to additional risks, including:



| |  |  | changes in regulatory requirements, for example, the introduction by the European Union of its Restrictions on Hazardous Substances;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduced protection of intellectual property rights; evolving privacy laws; tariffs and other trade barriers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | problems in collecting accounts receivable; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in authenticating customer information.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

Managing these risks may subject us to additional costs that may not be justified in light of the market opportunity, and the inability to comply with or manage foreign laws and related risks may preclude or limit sales in foreign
jurisdictions.

We rely on public key cryptography and other security techniques that could be breached, resulting in reduced demand for our products
and services.

A requirement for the continued growth of electronic commerce is the secure transmission of confidential information over
public networks. We rely on public key cryptography, an encryption method that utilizes two keys, a public and private key, for encoding and decoding data, and on digital certificate technology, to provide the security and authentication necessary
for secure transmission of confidential information. Regulatory and export restrictions may prohibit us from using the strongest and most secure cryptographic protection available, and thereby may expose us or our customers to a risk of data
interception. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or interrupt our or our customers operations. Any compromise or elimination of our security could result in risk of loss or
litigation and possible liability and reduce demand for our products and services.
