SCM MICROSYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007

1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in SCM Microsystems Inc.’s (“SCM” or “the Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

     During the review of the preparation of the cash flows from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company determined that an adjustment was needed to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Consequently, in the section “Cash flows from operating activities”, the amounts in lines “Accrued expenses” and “Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations” were reduced by $2.3 million compared to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows submitted with Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006. Simultaneously, the amount in line “Net cash provided (used) in operating activities from discontinued operations” was increased by $2.3 million compared to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows submitted with Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006. The adjustment did not have any impact to the cash flows from operating activities in total and was not considered to be material.

Discontinued Operations

     On May 22, 2006, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets and some of the liabilities associated with its Digital Television solutions (“DTV solutions”) business to Kudelski S.A. (“Kudelski”) for a total consideration of $10.6 million in cash, of which $9 million was paid at the time of sale and $1.6 million was paid in May 2007.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, this business has been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. See Note 3 for further discussion of this transaction.

Accounting Changes

     During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounted for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting For Uncertain Tax Positions (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption are to be accounted for as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings.

     As a result of the implementation, the Company recognized a $1.5 million decrease to income taxes payable for uncertain tax positions. This decrease was accounted for as an adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet. Including this decrease, at the beginning of 2007, the Company had $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits included in income taxes payable on the consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2007, the Company has $0.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits disclosed in income taxes payable on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result of adoption of FIN 48, unrecognized tax benefits were reclassified to long-term income taxes payable, where applicable.

     In addition, $1.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits existed as of January 1, 2007, which do not have any impact on the consolidated balance sheet or income statement, as these only impact the amounts of losses carried forward by the various entities of the Company because any deferred tax assets on these losses carried forward have been fully reserved for. The amount of these unrecognized tax benefits has not changed during the first two quarters of 2007.

     The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $36,000 of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

     The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns. The Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 1999. When loss carry forwards of tax years prior to 1999 would be utilized in the U.S., these tax years also might become subject to investigation by the tax authorities.

     While timing of the resolution and/or finalization of audits is very uncertain, the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next 12 months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows and does not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

2. Stock Based Compensation

     The Company has a stock-based compensation program that provides its Board of Directors discretion in creating employee equity incentives. This program includes incentive and non-statutory stock options under various plans, the majority of which are stockholder approved. Stock options are generally time-based and expire ten years from the grant date. Vesting varies, with some options vesting 25% each year over four years; some vesting 1/12^th per month over one year; some vesting 100% after one year; and some vesting 1/12^th per month commencing four years from date of grant. Additionally, the Company previously had an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that allowed employees to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the fair market value at the lower of either the date of enrollment or the date of purchase. Shares issued as a result of stock option exercises and the ESPP are newly issued shares. The Company’s ESPP, director option plan and 1997 stock option plan all expired in March 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately 1.9 million options outstanding and 1.9 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuance upon exercise of those options under all its stock option plans, including those that have expired.

     On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) for its share-based compensation plans. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company is required to recognize stock-based compensation costs based on the estimated fair value at the grant date for its share-based awards. In accordance to this standard, the Company recognizes the compensation cost of all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the award.

     The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123(R) and therefore has not restated its financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the compensation cost recognized includes the cost 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. Compensation cost for all share-based compensation awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006 was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach, while compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006 has been and will continue to be recognized using the straight-line single-option approach.

     Compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

     In calculating the compensation cost, the Company estimates the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes-Merton model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.

     As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s loss from continuing operations before income tax provision and net loss from continuing operations was $0.3 million and $0.4 million higher, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s loss from continuing operations before income tax provision and net loss from continuing operations was $0.2 million and $0.3 million higher, respectively, than under APB 25. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 would have been $0.02 and $0.03 lower, respectively, and basic and diluted net loss per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $0.01 and $0.02 lower, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123(R). There was no effect on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from adopting SFAS 123(R).

     On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (“FAS 123(R)-3”). The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R).

     The following table illustrates the stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options and ESPP included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

  Stock Option Plans

     The Company’s director option plan and 1997 stock option plan expired in March 2007, and options can no longer be granted under these plans. A total of 96,792 shares of common stock is reserved for future option grants under the remaining 2000 stock plan as of June 30, 2007.

     Summary of activity under all the Company’s stock option plans, including those plans that that expired in March 2007, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is as follows:

																		Weighted
										Weighted								Average
		Options				Number of				Average								Remaining
		Available				Options				Exercise Price				Aggregate				Contractual Life
		for Grant				Outstanding				per share				Intrinsic Value				(in years)
Balance at December 31, 2006			4,084,775				1,783,255			$	12.58			$	81,808				5.79
Options granted			(395,301	)			395,301			$	4.04				—				—
Options cancelled or expired			(3,592,682	)			(272,113	)		$	8.72				—				—

Balance at June 30, 2007			96,792				1,895,655			$	11.40			$	40,195				5.77
Vested or expected to vest at June 30, 2007							1,771,343			$	11.94			$	37,603
Exerciseable at June 30, 2007							1,201,459			$	15.91			$	26,089				3.96

     The weighted-average grant date fair value per option for options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.02 and $1.91, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value per option for options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.88 and $1.84, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $7,578 and $8,331, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $149 and $149, respectively. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $30,149 and $33,135 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $800 and $800 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. No income tax benefit was realized from the stock option exercises during the three- and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures related to non-vested options, that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.68 years.

     The fair value of option grants was estimated by using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2007				2006				2007				2006
Expected volatility			57	%			71	%			58	%			72	%
Dividend yield			0				0				0				0
Risk-free interest rate			4.90	%			5.10	%			4.73	%			4.96	%
Expected term (in years)			4.00				3.92				4.00				3.92

     Expected Volatility: The Company’s computation of expected volatility for the three- and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for a time period equivalent to the expected life.

     Dividend Yield: The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

     Risk-Free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.

     Expected Term: The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 based on historical experience of

similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     Until its expiration in March 2007, the Company’s ESPP permitted eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions up to 10% of their base wages at a purchase price of 85% of the lower of fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of each offering period. The Company had a two-year rolling plan with four purchases every six months within the offering period. If the fair market value per share was lower on the purchase date than the beginning of the offering period, the current offering period terminated and a new two year offering period would have commenced. The Company’s ESPP restricted the maximum amount of shares purchased by an individual to $25,000 worth of common stock each year. As of June 30, 2007, no shares were available for future issuance under the Company’s ESPP, due to the plan’s expiration in March 2007.

     The fair value of issuances under the Company’s ESPP was estimated on the issuance date by applying the principles of FASB Technical Bulletin 97-1 (“FTB 97-1”), Accounting under Statement 123 for Certain Employee Stock Purchase Plans with a Look Back Option, and using the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s ESPP recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0 and a benefit of $40,000, respectively. The benefit in the first quarter of 2007 stemmed from the expiration of the plan before the expected offering periods had terminated. At June 30, 2007, there was no further unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding ESPP shares as the plan expired in March 2007.

3. Discontinued Operations

     On May 22, 2006, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets and some of the liabilities associated with its DTV solutions business to Kudelski for a total consideration of $10.6 million in cash, of which $9 million was paid at the time of sale and $1.6 million was paid in May 2007.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the DTV solutions business has been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

     Based on the carrying value of the assets and the liabilities attributed to the DTV solutions business on May 22, 2006, and the estimated costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale, the Company recorded a net pretax gain of approximately $5.5 million. An additional $1.5 million gain on sale of discontinued operations was realized in May 2007 resulting from the final payment by Kudelski as described above.

     Based on a “Transition Services and Side Agreement” between the Company and Kudelski, revenues relating to the discontinued operations of the DTV solutions business were generated for a limited time after the sale of the DTV solutions business. Under this agreement, a service fee was earned by the Company for its services related to ordering products from a supplier and selling these products to Kudelski. The agreement was terminated at the end of the first quarter of 2007 and related revenues ceased to be generated after this period.

     The operating results for the discontinued operations of the DTV solutions business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the same period of 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

Income (loss) from discontinued operations		$	(62	)		$	3,982			$	(5	)		$	3,143

     During 2003, the Company completed two transactions to sell its retail Digital Media and Video business. On July 25, 2003, the Company completed the sale of its digital video business to Pinnacle Systems and on August 1, 2003, the Company completed the sale of its retail digital media reader business to Zio Corporation. As a result of these sales, the Company has accounted for the retail Digital Media and Video business as discontinued operations.

     The operating results for the discontinued operations of the retail Digital Media and Video business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the same period of 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

4. Short-Term Investments

     All of the short-term investment portfolio at June 30, 2007, matures in 2007. The fair value of short-term investments at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was as follows (in thousands):

		June 30, 2007
						Unrealized				Estimated
		Amortized				Loss on				Fair
		Cost				Investments				Value
Corporate notes		$	4,972			$	(2	)		$	4,970
U.S. government agencies			1,004				(2	)			1,002
Total		$	5,976			$	(4	)		$	5,972

		December 31, 2006
						Unrealized				Estimated
		Amortized				Loss on				Fair
		Cost				Investments				Value
Corporate notes		$	1,021			$	(2	)		$	1,019
U.S. government agencies			3,792				(12	)			3,780
Total		$	4,813			$	(14	)		$	4,799

     During each quarter, the Company evaluates its investments for possible asset impairment by examining a number of factors, including the current economic conditions and markets for each investment, as well as its cash position and anticipated cash needs for the short and long term. At June 30, 2007, approximately $6.0 million of the short-term investment portfolio had an unrealized loss and approximately $1.0 million of those investments have been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year. Of the $4,000 unrealized loss at June 30, 2007, approximately $2,000 relates to investments that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year. The Company believes these fair value declines are the result of rising short-term interest rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no impairment of the investments was identified based on the evaluations performed.

9. Segment Reporting, Geographic Information and Major Customers

     SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be its executive staff, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President Sales.

     The Company’s continuing operations provide secure digital access solutions to mainly OEM customers in two markets segments: PC Security and Flash Media Readers. The executive staff reviews financial information and business performance along these two business segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments at the revenue and gross profit level. The Company’s reporting systems do not track or allocate operating expenses or assets by segment. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management purposes.

     Summary information by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and during the same periods of 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

10. Commitments

     The Company leases its facilities, certain equipment, and automobiles under noncancelable operating lease agreements. These lease agreements expire at various dates during the next ten years.

     Purchases for inventories are highly dependent upon forecasts of the customers’ demand. Due to the uncertainty in demand from its customers, the Company may have to change, reschedule, or cancel purchases or purchase orders from its suppliers. These changes may lead to vendor cancellation charges on these purchases or contractual commitments. As of June 30, 2007, total purchase and contractual commitments were approximately $2.8 million.

     The Company provides warranties on certain product sales, which range from twelve to twenty-four months, and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company currently establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior twelve months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods.

     Components of the reserve for warranty costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

		2007				2006
Balances at January 1		$	34			$	153

11. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

		For the Three months Ended								For the Six months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2007				2006				2007				2006
Net loss from continuing operations		$	(3,673	)		$	(1,991	)		$	(3,539	)		$	(4,692	)
Income from discontinued operations			1,428				9,190				1,434				8,269
Net income (loss)		$	(2,245	)		$	7,199			$	(2,105	)		$	3,577
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in income (loss) per common share - basic and diluted			15,730				15,627				15,715				15,610
Net income (loss) per common share - basic and diluted
Continuing operations		$	(0.23	)		$	(0.13	)		$	(0.23	)		$	(0.30	)
Discontinued operations		$	0.09			$	0.59			$	0.09			$	0.53
Net income (loss) per common share - basic and diluted		$	(0.14	)		$	0.46			$	(0.14	)		$	0.23

     The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 47,000 and 45,000 shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive in periods when there is a net loss. The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 also excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 1.8 million and 1.7 million shares, respectively, because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

     The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 26,000 and 28,000 shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive in periods when there is a net loss. The computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 also excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 2.4 million and 2.5 million shares, respectively, because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

12. Legal Proceedings

     From time to time, SCM could be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business or could be a defendant in lawsuits. While the outcome of such claims or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, SCM’s management expects that any such liabilities, to the extent not provided for by insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Overview

     SCM Microsystems, Inc. (“SCM”, the “Company”, “we” and “us”) was incorporated in 1996 under the laws of the state of Delaware. We design, develop and sell hardware, software and silicon solutions that enable people to conveniently and securely access digital content and services. We sell our secure digital access products into two market segments: PC Security and Flash Media Readers.

	•		For the PC Security market, we offer smart card reader technology that enables authentication of individuals for applications such as electronic passports, electronic healthcare cards, secure logical access to PCs and networks, and physical access to facilities.
	•		For the Flash Media Reader market, we offer digital media readers that are used to transfer digital content to and from various flash media. These readers are primarily used in digital photo kiosks.

     We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, who typically either bundle our products with their own solutions, or repackage our products for resale to their customers. Our OEM customers include: government contractors, systems integrators, large enterprises and computer manufacturers, as well as banks and other financial institutions for our smart card readers; and computer electronics and photographic equipment manufacturers for our digital media readers. We sell and license our products through a direct sales and marketing organization, as well as through distributors, value added resellers and systems integrators worldwide.

     On May 22, 2006 we completed the sale of our Digital Television solutions (“DTV solutions”) business to Kudelski S.A. As a result, we have accounted for the DTV solutions business as a discontinued operation, and the statements of operations and cash flows for all periods presented reflect the discontinuance of this business. In addition, our operations previously included a retail Digital Media and Video business, which we sold in the third quarter of 2003. As a result of this sale and divestiture, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we have accounted for the retail Digital Media and Video business as a discontinued operation, and statements of operations for all periods presented reflect the discontinuance of this business. (See Note 3.)

     In our continuing operations, we have experienced significant variations in demand for our products quarter to quarter. In our PC Security business, variations in demand are primarily the result of timing of orders associated with smart card-based ID programs run by various U.S., European and Asian governments. Sales of our smart card readers and chips for government

programs are impacted by testing and compliance schedules of government bodies as well as roll-out schedules for application deployments, both of which contribute to variability in demand from quarter to quarter. In our Flash Media Reader business, variability in demand is primarily the result of our dependence on a small number of customers in this business, which can result in significant fluctuation in sales levels from one period to another. Two customers have historically accounted for approximately 65% of revenues in our Flash Media Reader business.

     We have adopted a strategy to grow revenue that is based on introducing new PC Security and Flash Media Reader products to address emerging market opportunities. During 2006 and in the first quarter of 2007, we experienced increased demand for our smart card readers, primarily from the government sector, where we began to provide readers for new and emerging programs such as e-passports and e-healthcare. In the second quarter of 2007, sales of our smart card readers were negatively impacted by budget freezes in the U.S. government sector, which contributed to delayed orders, demand fluctuations with a major customer in Asia and project delays in various European smart card security programs. While we believe that enterprise security projects and e-passport and other government authentication programs will continue to grow in the future and that we will continue to play an active role in providing smart card readers to these programs, it is very difficult to estimate the level or timing of demand in any given period.

     In addition, in the second quarter of 2007 we experienced significantly reduced orders from one of our two major Flash Media Reader customers due to significantly reduced demand in their end markets. We believe that sales in our Flash Media Reader business will increase from second quarter levels in the second half of 2007, as we have recently begun to build backlog with this customer. However, orders from this customer may not return to historic levels and this business remains subject to significant variability in terms of the timing of orders in any given period.

     In both our PC Security and Flash Media Reader businesses, pricing pressure has increased over the last several quarters. To address an increasingly competitive environment, during 2006 we put in place cost reduction programs that, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006 and continuing into the second quarter of 2007, have resulted in improvements to gross product margin. In the second quarter of 2007, this improvement was largely offset by significantly lower sales levels.

     During late 2005 and throughout 2006, we implemented a number of measures to reduce operating expenses, including the outsourcing of our manufacturing operations and the consolidation of facilities and functions. The full effect of our cost cutting actions was first experienced in the fourth quarter of 2006, when our GAAP operating expenses decreased from an average of $5.7 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 to $3.5 million in the fourth quarter. Through the first six months of 2007, our expenses for research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative have remained under $4.0 million per quarter, with the exception of a $1.4 million charge taken in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2007 for severance and other costs associated with the resignation of Robert Schneider, our former CEO.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to product returns, customer incentives, bad debts, inventories, asset impairment, deferred tax assets, accrued warranty reserves, restructuring costs, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

•

We recognize product revenue upon shipment provided that risk and title have transferred, a purchase order has been received, collection is determined to be reasonably assured and no significant obligations remain. Maintenance revenue is deferred and amortized over the period of the maintenance contract. Provisions for estimated warranty repairs and returns and allowances are provided for at the time products are shipped. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

	•		We typically plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which is highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record an estimated provision for excess inventory, technical obsolescence and no sale-ability based primarily on our historical sales and expectations for future use. Actual demand and market conditions may be different from those projected by our management. This could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position. If we were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates, the amount and timing of our write-down of inventories could be materially different. Excess inventory frequently remains saleable. When excess inventory is sold, it yields a gross profit margin of up to 100%. Sales of excess inventory have the effect of increasing the gross profit margin beyond that which would otherwise occur, because of previous write-downs. Once we have written down inventory below cost, we do not subsequently write it up.
	•		We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting For Uncertain Tax Positions (“FIN 48”) in the first quarter of 2007. See “Note 1” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion. We are required to make certain judgments and estimates in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to our tax provision in a subsequent period. The calculation of our tax liabilities requires dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts. We reevaluate such uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis based on factors such as, but not limited to, changes in tax laws, issues settled under audit and changes in facts or circumstances. Such changes in recognition or measurement might result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.
	•		The carrying value of our net deferred tax assets reflects that we have been unable to generate sufficient taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets quarterly. At June 30, 2007 we have recorded valuation allowances against substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets are still available for us to use in the future to offset taxable income, which would result in the recognition of a tax benefit and a reduction in our effective tax rate. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render our current assumptions, judgments and estimates of the realizability of deferred tax assets inaccurate, which could have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	•		We accrue the estimated cost of product warranties during the period of sale. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by actual warranty costs, including material usage or service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to our estimated warranty liability would be required, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.
	•		During previous years, we have recorded restructuring charges as we rationalized operations in light of strategic decisions to align our business focus on certain markets. These measures, which included major changes in senior management, workforce reduction, facilities consolidation and the transfer of our production to contract manufacturers, were largely intended to align our capacity and infrastructure to anticipate customer demand and to transition our operations to better cost efficiencies. In connection with plans we have adopted, we recorded estimated expenses for severance and outplacement costs, lease cancellations, asset write-offs and other restructuring costs. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity initiated after December 31, 2002 be recognized when the liability is incurred and that the liability be measured at fair value. Given the significance of, and the timing of the execution of such activities, this process is complex and involves periodic reassessments of original estimates. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under our restructuring initiatives. Although we believe that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of our restructuring and other plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring us to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about

fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 157 on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and do not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

     Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.6 million, down 50% compared to $9.4 million for the same period of 2006. This decrease in revenue resulted from lower sales across our business segments due to a variety of factors, which are discussed below. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net revenue was $13.1 million, down 22% from revenue of $16.8 million in the first six months of 2006. The decrease in revenue in the six-month period resulted primarily from lower sales of our Flash Media Reader products.

     Our PC Security product line consists of smart card readers and related chip technology that are utilized principally in security programs where smart cards are used to authenticate the identity of people in order to control access to computers, computer networks, borders, buildings and other facilities. Revenue in this product line is typically tied to large security projects of governments, financial institutions or enterprises and is subject to significant variability based on the size and timing of customer orders. The timing of any new projects that may create or increase demand for smart card readers is unpredictable. In our PC Security product line, sales were $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of 43% from sales of $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. Significantly lower sales levels in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the prior year resulted from lower product orders across all geographies. In the U.S., budget freezes in the federal government sector resulted in significantly lower orders than in recent periods. In Europe, sales were affected by delays in a number of projects for which we had anticipated we would ship readers. In Japan, product orders from a major customer have been delayed. In all three geographies, we believe that the reduced sales levels we experienced in the second quarter of 2007 reflect variability in the timing of orders, rather than loss of business to competition or lack of long-term growth potential in the market for smart card readers. For the first six months of 2007, sales in our PC Security business were $11.0 million, down 3% from $11.3 million for the first six months of 2006.

     Flash Media Reader revenues consist of sales of digital media readers to provide an interface for flash memory cards, primarily for digital photography kiosks, where our products are used to download and print digital photos. Two customers have historically accounted for approximately 65% of our sales in this business segment. As a result, revenue in our Flash Media Reader product line can fluctuate significantly quarter to quarter due to variability in the size and timing of customer orders. Revenue from our Flash Media Reader product line was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of 70% from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, sales were $2.1 million, down 61% compared with $5.4 million in the first six months of 2006. The decrease in Flash Media Reader sales in both the second quarter and the first six months of 2007 compared with the same periods of the prior year was primarily due to a significant reduction in orders from one of our two major customers in the second quarter as a result of significantly reduced demand in their end markets.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.3 million, or 29% of revenue, compared to $3.2 million, or 34% of revenue in the same period of 2006.

     Gross profit for our PCS Security products was 33% for the second quarter of 2007 compared with 43% for the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in gross profit in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period of 2006 primarily resulted from lower sales levels in the 2007 period, as a portion of our supply chain expenses included in cost of revenue are fixed.

     Gross profit for our Flash Media Reader products was 10% for the second quarter of 2007, compared with 8% for the second quarter of 2006. Low gross margins in both periods primarily reflect low sales levels in the respective periods.

     For the first six months of 2007, gross profit was $5.1 million, or 39% of revenue, compared with $5.8 million, or 35% of revenue for the first six months of 2006. The improvement in gross profit margin in the first six months of 2007 compared with the prior year is in part due to a more favorable mix of higher margin products, better inventory management and product cost reductions in our PC Security business, offset by lower sales levels across our businesses in the second quarter of 2007. In addition, gross profit for the first six months of 2006 was adversely impacted by approximately $0.2 million in severance costs related to the outsourcing of our Singapore manufacturing operations to contract manufacturers as well as $0.4 million of net inventory write-downs.

     Our gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including, without limitation, competition, the volume of sales in any given quarter, product configuration and mix, the availability of new products, product enhancements, software and services, and the cost and availability of components. Accordingly, gross profit percentages are expected to continue to fluctuate from period to period.

Percentage of total revenues			17	%			11	%							12	%			12	%

     Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and fees for the development of prototype products. Research and development costs are primarily related to hardware and firmware development. For the second quarter of 2007, research and development expenses were $0.8 million, or 17% of revenue, compared with $1.1 million, or 11% of revenue in the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, research and development expenses were $1.5 million, or 12% of revenue, compared with $2.0 million, or 12% of revenue for the first six months of 2006. Lower research and development expenses in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared with the prior year are primarily due to a lower level of external resources used.
