Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts are in thousands, except per share data)(unaudited)
(Unaudited)
Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q10-Q to “VASCO,“OneSpan,” “company,“Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to VASCO Data Security International,OneSpan Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Note 1 – Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Company
OneSpan Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries design, develop, market and support hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. OneSpan has operations in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom (U.K), and the United States (U.S.).
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, our operations are reported as a single operating segment. The chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer who reviews the statement of operations of the Company on a consolidated basis, makes decisions and manages the operations of the Company as a single operating segment.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneSpan and its subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on domestic and global economies. To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments have imposed, and may continue to impose, among other things, travel and business operation restrictions and stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, causing some businesses to adjust, reduce or suspend operating activities. These disruptions and restrictions could adversely affect our operating results due to, among other things, reduced demand for our services and solutions as a result of our customers having to adjust, reduce or suspend operating activities. Beginning in the Summer of 2020 and continuing through the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, we have experienced softened demand for certain of our products and services due to, we believe, global economic uncertainty connected with the continued seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For additional information, see Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
We have revised amounts reported in previously issued financial statements for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q related to immaterial errors. The errors relate to certain contracts with customers involving term-based software licenses and related maintenance and support services. The net contract assets that originated from a portion of these contracts in prior periods were not properly accounted for in subsequent periods, which caused overstatements of revenue in prior periods.
9
We evaluated the aggregate effects of the errors to our previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and No. 108 and, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements and disclosures included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, or for any quarterly periods included therein or through our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
The following tables present the effects of the aforementioned revisions on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands).

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneSpan Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of the operations of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net. Foreign exchange transaction gains aggregated $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and foreign exchange transaction losses aggregate $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, foreign exchange loss aggregated $0.1 million, and foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The financial position and results of our operations in Singapore, Switzerland, and Canada are measured in U.S. Dollars. For these subsidiaries, gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 10, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (“program”), pursuant to which the Company can repurchase up to $50.0 million of issued and outstanding common stock. Share purchases under the program will take place in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions and may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume, and other factors. The timing of the repurchases and the amount of stock repurchased in each transaction is subject to OneSpan’s sole discretion and will depend upon market and business conditions, applicable legal and credit requirements and other corporate considerations. As of September 30, 2020, 0 shares had been repurchased under the program. The authorization is effective until June 10, 2022 unless the total amount has been used or authorization has been cancelled.

Short Term Investments
The Company’s short term investments are in debt securities which consist of U.S treasury bills and notes, U.S. government agency notes, corporate notes, and high quality commercial paper with maturities at acquisition of more than three months and less than twelve months The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, on January 1, 2020, which amended our accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. Credit impairments are recorded through an allowance rather than a direct write-down of the security and are recorded through a charge to the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Unrealized gains or losses not related to credit impairments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive gain/(loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews available-for-sale debt securities for impairments related to credit losses and other factors each quarter. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the unrealized gains and losses were not material.

Accounts Receivable, net of Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, on January 1, 2020. As a result of the adoption, the Company amended its accounting policies for the allowance for credit losses. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, the Company evaluates its allowance based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, which is known as the audited consolidatedcurrent expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The allowance is determined using the loss rate approach and is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Where financial statements,instruments do not share risk characteristics, they are evaluated on an individual basis. The allowance is based on relevant available information, from internal and include all adjustments, consisting onlyexternal sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Equity Method Investment
We apply the equity method of normal recurring adjustments, necessary foraccounting to our investment in Promon AS (Promon), because we exercise significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the fair presentationinvestee. Promon is a technology company headquartered in Norway that specializes in mobile app security, whose solutions focus largely on Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP). We exercise significant influence over Promon as a result of our 17% ownership interest in Promon, our representation on Promon’s Board of Directors, and the significance to Promon of our business activities with them. We integrate Promon’s RASP technology into our software solution, which are licensed to our customers. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of the resultsnet earnings (losses) of Promon is reported in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicativeproportionate share of the results expected for a full year.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Cost of goods sold, gross profit and operating expensesnet earnings (losses) were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflected2020 and 2019 as were the relative size of Promon’s assets and operations in relation to the Company’s. The carrying value of our equity method investment is reported in other noncurrent assets in the statements of operations have been revised from amounts previously reported to correct immaterial errors previously disclosed in Note 1, Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Specifically, for the threecondensed consolidated Balance Sheets and nine months ended September 30, 2016, cost of goods sold increased by $2,051 and $5,849 and gross profit and operating expenses each decreased from the respective amounts previously reported by $2,051 and $5,849, respectively.
In addition, in accordance with SEC requirements, revenue is presented in two categories, Product and License Revenue and Service and Other Revenue. Product and License Revenue includes hardware products and software licenses. Service and Other Revenue includes software as a service (“SaaS”) solutions, maintenance and support, and professional services. Additional adjustments were made to present cost of goods sold consistent with these two categories.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of the operations of the majority of the company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.

The financial position and results of operations of our operations in Canada, Singapore and Switzerland are measured in U.S. Dollars. For these subsidiaries, gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, foreign currency transactions resulted in a loss of $273 and $320, respectively, compared to a loss of $110 and a gain of $152 for the same periods in 2016.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985‑605, Software – Revenue Recognition, ASC 985‑605‑25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements, and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104.
Product and License Revenue includes hardware products and software licenses. Services and Other includes software as a service (“SaaS”), maintenance and support, and professional services.
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.
In multiple-element arrangements, some of our products are accounted for under the software provisions of ASC 985‑605 and others under the provisions that relate to the sale of non-software products.
In our typical multiple-element arrangement, the primary deliverables include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our multiple-element arrangements may also include other items that are usually delivered prior to the recognition of any revenue and incidental to the overall transaction, such as initialization of the hardware device, customization of the hardware device itself or the packaging in which it is delivered, deployment services where we deliver the device to our customer’s end-use customer or employee and, in some limited cases, professional services to assist with the initial implementation of a new customer.
8
In multiple-element arrangements that include a hardware client device, we allocate the selling price among all elements, delivered and undelivered, based on our internal price lists and the percentage of the selling price of that element, per the price list, to the total of the estimated selling price of all of the elements per the price list. Our internal price lists for both delivered and undelivered elements were determined to be reasonable estimates of the selling price of each element based on a comparison of actual sales made to the price list.
In multiple-element arrangements that include a software client device, we account for each element under the standards of ASC 985‑605 related to software. When software client device and host software are delivered elements, we use the Residual Method (ASC 605‑25) for determining the amount of revenue to recognize for token and software licenses if we have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for all of the undelivered elements. Any discount provided to the customer is applied fully to the delivered elements in such an arrangement. VSOE for undelivered elements is established using the “bell curve method.” Under this method, we conclude VSOE exists when a substantial majority of PCS renewals are within a narrow range of pricing. The estimated selling price of PCS items is based on an established percentage of the user license fee attributable to the specific software. In sales arrangements where VSOE of fair value has not been established, revenue for all elements is deferred and amortized over the life of the arrangement.
For transactions other than multiple-element arrangements, we recognize revenue as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recognize revenue from sales to distributors and resellers on the same basis as sales made directly to customers. We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.
For large-volume transactions, we may negotiate a specific price that is based on the number of users of the software license or quantities of hardware supplied. The per unit prices for large-volume transactions are generally lower than transactions for smaller quantities and the price differences are commonly referred to as volume-purchase discounts.
All revenue is reported on a net basis, excluding any sales taxes or value added taxes.
Long-term deferred revenue of $7,455 is included in Other long-term liabilities at September 30, 2017.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are high-quality short term money market instruments and commercial paper, with original maturities of
9
three months or less. Cash is held by a number of U.S. and non-U.S. commercial banks and money market investment funds.
Short Term Investments
Short term investments are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Short term investments consist of bank certificates of deposit and high quality commercial paper with original maturities of more than three and less than twelve months.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The creditworthiness of customers (including distributors and resellers) is reviewed prior to shipment. A reasonable assurance of collection is a requirement for revenue recognition. Verification of credit and/or the establishment of credit limits are part of the customer contract administration process. Credit limit adjustments for existing customers may result from the periodic review of outstanding accounts receivable. The company records trade accounts receivable at invoice values, which are generally equal to fair value.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for goods and services. We analyze accounts receivable balances, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment timing when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a specific review of all significant past-due accounts. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Inventories, net
Inventories, consisting principally of hardware and component parts, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. We write down inventory when it appears that the carrying cost of the inventory may not be recovered through subsequent sale of the inventory. We analyze the quantity of inventory on hand, the quantity sold in the past year, the anticipated sales volume in the form of sales to new customers as well as sales to previous customers, the expected sales price and the cost of making the sale when evaluating the valuation of our inventory. If the sales volume or sales price of a specific model declines significantly, additional write downs may be required.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses resulting from sales, disposals, or retirements are recorded as incurred, at which time related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
Long Term Investments
Included in Other Assets are minority equity investments in companies we believe may be beneficial in executing our strategy. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, investments were $4,073. In accordance with ASC 325, the investments are recordedoriginally at cost and evaluatedadjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings (losses) and dividends paid, if any. The Company also assesses the investment for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.
Cost of Goods Sold
Included The Company did not record any impairment charges during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $1.2 million in product cost of goods sold are direct product costs. Cost of goods sold related to service revenues are primarily costs related to SaaS solutions, including personnel and equipment costs, and personnel costs of employees providing professional services and maintenance and support.
10
Research and Development Costs
Costs for research and development, principally the design and development of hardware, and the design and development of software prior to the determination of technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred on a project-by-project basis.
Software Development Costs
We capitalize software development costs in accordance with ASC 985‑20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Research costs and software development costs, prior to the establishment of technological feasibility, determined based upon the creation of a working model, are expensed as incurred. Our software capitalization policy defines technological feasibility as a functioning beta test prototype with confirmed manufacturability (a working model), within a reasonably predictable range of costs. Additional criteria include receptive customers, or potential customers, as evidenced by interest expressed in a beta test prototype, at some suggested selling price. Our policy is to amortize capitalized costs by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally two to five years, including the period being reported on. No software development costs were capitalizedsales during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively for license fees owed to Promon for use of their software and technology, and recorded $1.6 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset2020 and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts2019, respectively. The Company owed Promon $1.5 million as of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We monitor our potential income tax exposures as required by ASC 740‑10, Income Taxes.
We have significant foreign tax credit, net operating loss, and other deductible carryforwards in certain jurisdictions available to reduce the liability on future taxable income. A valuation reserve has been provided to offset some of these future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our financial instruments were cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable,2020, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined using level one inputs as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying amounts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Accounting for Leases
All of our leases are operating leases. Rent expense on facility leases is charged evenly over the life of the lease, regardless of the timing of actual payments.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Intangible assets arising from business combinations such as acquired technology, customer relationships, and other intangible assets, are originally recorded at fair value. Intangible assets other than patents with definite lives are amortized over the useful life, generally three to seven years for proprietary technology and five to twelve years for customer relationships. Patents are amortized over the life of the patent, generally 20 years in the U.S.
11
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. We assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives each November 30 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes comparing the overall financial performance of the reporting units against the planned results used in the last quantitative goodwill impairment test. Additionally, each reporting unit’s fair value is assessed in light of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity- and reporting unit specific events. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgments and estimates. If it is determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative impairment test is performed. Under the first step, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in acquisition accounting. The residual amount after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit under the two-step assessment is determined using a combination of both income and market-based variation approaches. The inputs and assumptions to valuation methods used to estimate the fair value of reporting units involves significant judgments.
During 2017, we determined certain events and circumstances resulted in a change in the composition of our reporting units. Previously, we considered the Company to be two reporting units, the operations of eSignLive and the remainder of our operations. Due to the continued integration of eSignLive operations and changes in management, we now consider the Company to be a single reporting unit. We have not recorded any goodwill impairment charges for the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. The change in the composition of our reporting units will be reflected in our annual impairment test performed as of November 30.
Stock-Based Compensation
We have stock-based employee compensation plans, described in Note 6. ASC 718‑10, Stock Compensation requires us to estimate the fair value of restricted stock granted to employees, directors and others and to record compensation expense equal to the estimated fair value. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are recorded as incurred.
Retirement Benefits
We record annual expenses relating to our pension benefit plans based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed asset rates of return, compensation increases, and turnover rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends. The effects of gains, losses, and prior service costs and credits are amortized over the average service life. The funded status, or projected benefit obligation less plan assets, for each plan, is reflected in our consolidated balance sheets using a December 31 measurement date.
Warranty
Warranties are provided on the sale of certain of our products and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate the cost based on past claims experience, sales history and other considerations. We regularly assess the adequacy of our estimates and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our standard practice is to provide a warranty on our hardware products for either a one or two year period after the date of purchase. Customers may purchase extended warranties covering periods from one to four years after the standard warranty period.
12
We defer the revenue associated with the extended warranty and recognize it into income on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We have historically experienced minimal actual claims over the warranty period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014‑09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014‑09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The standard creates a five-step model to achieve its core principle: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, entities must disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about: (i) the entity’s contracts with customers; (ii) the significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and (iii) any assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.
ASU 2014‑09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within such annual periods, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) an approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014‑09 recognized at the date of adoption.
In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date deferring the new revenue standard one year and allowing adoption as of the original effective date.
In MarchSeptember 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which providesamends the Board’s guidance on assessing whetherthe impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds an entityimpairment model that is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction and whether an entity reports revenuebased on a gross or net basis.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which provides guidance on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09 and provides practical expedients to simplify the transition to the new standard and clarify certain aspects of the standard.
In December 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the new revenue recognition guidance including any impacts on associated processes, systems, and internal controls. Our evaluation includes determining the unit of account (i.e., performance obligations) and standalone selling price of each performance obligation. Standalone selling prices under the new guidance may not be substantially different from our current methodologies of establishing fair value on multiple element arrangements. Based on initial assessments, we have identified certain arrangements where revenue may be recognized earlier as compared to current practice. We expect to recognize term license revenue upon delivery,expected losses rather than overincurred losses, which is known as the term of the arrangement. We expectcurrent expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to capitalize certain sales commissions upon adoption of the new standardmost debt instruments (other than those measured at fair value), trade and are currently in the process of evaluating the period over which to amortize these capitalized costs. We continue to evaluate the impact of this guidanceother receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and subsequent amendments on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and any preliminary assessments are subject to change. We will adopt this guidance as of the first quarter of 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method.

We adoptedloan commitments. This ASU 2015‑11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory as of January 1, 2017. ASU 2015‑11 requires measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015‑11 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In February 2016, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016‑02, Leases, which among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on balance sheet. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and mandates a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016‑02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, The FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017‑01 defines a business in the context of a set of transferred assets and activities.

The cumulative-effect transition method enables an entity to record an allowance for expected credit losses at the Company’s financial statements.date of adoption without restating comparative periods. The cumulative-effect adjustment for adoption of ASC 326 resulted in a decrease of $0.3 million in Accounts receivable, net of allowances and Accumulated Income as of January 1, 2020.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles – Goodwill2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017‑04Impairment. This standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, requiring determination ofrequirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by allocatingto measure a goodwill impairment charge (i.e. Step 2 of the current guidance), instead measuring the impairment charge as the excess of the reporting unitunit's carrying amount over its fair value to assets(i.e. Step 1 of the current guidance).

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for removed or modified disclosures, and delayed adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which helps entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) by providing guidance for determining when an arrangement includes a software license and when an arrangement is solely a hosted CCA service. Under ASU 2018-15, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. The new guidance also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense, and requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (ASU 2018-14),which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans.

We are currently evaluating the impact of this updated guidance.effect that the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2017,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits2019-12, Simplification for Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 715)321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): ImprovingClarifying the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension CostInteractions between Topics 321, 323 and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost815.

Contract balances
The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue current and non-current) | | $ | 49,251 | | $ | 45,597 |
Contract assets relate primarily to multi-year term license arrangements and the remaining contractual billings. These contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to billing occurs, which is normally over 3-5 years. The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for subscription and maintenance services. Revenue is recognized for these services over time.
As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers.
Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $29.2 million that was included on the Company’s financial statements.December 31, 2019 balance sheet in contract liabilities. Deferred revenue increased in the same period due to timing of annual renewals.

The Company applies practical expedients and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations (a) that have original expected durations of one year or less, or (b) where revenue is recognized as invoiced.
Costs of obtaining a contract
The Company incurs incremental costs related to commissions, which can be directly tied to obtaining a contract. The Company capitalizes commissions associated with certain new contracts and amortizes the costs over a period of benefit based on the transfer of goods or services that we have determined to be up to seven years. The Amortization is reflected in Sales and Marketing in the Statements of Operations. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our customer contracts, our technology and other factors, including customer attrition. Commissions are earned upon invoicing to the customer. For contracts with multiple year payment terms, as the commissions that are payable after year 1 are payable based on continued employment, they are expensed when incurred. Commissions and amortization expense are included in Sales and Marketing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in Sales and Marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts
due to their short duration. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing base upon its own market assumptions.
The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. As described in Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the January 1, 2020 adoption of ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, amended our accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. We review available-for-sale det securities for impairments related to losses and other factors each quarter. The unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale debt securities were not material as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
18
The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
● | Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. |
● | Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. |
The following tables summarize assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Note 511 – Income Taxes
OurFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to calculate its interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimate annual effective tax rate yields an estimate that is not reliable and the actual effective rate for the year-to-date is the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate. The Company believes that the use of the estimated annual effective tax rate for 2017 before discrete itemsmethod is expected to be 40%. Thisnot reliable since small changes in the projected ordinary annual income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax

rate. Our global effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 34%21% primarily due to losses in jurisdictions for which a valuation allowances on taxable losses, primarily in Canada, partially offset by income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter was 48%. The effective rate in the third quarter was impacted by the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions.allowance is required. Our ultimate tax rateexpense will depend on the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions. Income taxes of $0.2 million and $8.0 million were paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
As of the third quarter of 2016, our estimated annual tax rate for 2016 before discrete items was expected to be 28%. The estimated rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, partially offset by valuation allowances on taxable losses. Discrete items related to changes in estimates upon completion of tax filings and a measurement period adjustment increased the full-year 2016 effective rate to 37%. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was 61%.
At December 31, 2016, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7,027 for future U.S. tax returns. These foreign tax credits expire in 2023 through 2026. We have not provided a valuation reserve for the foreign tax credits as we believe it is more likely than not that they will be realized.
At December 31, 2016,2019, we had deferred tax assets of $16,655$24.9 million resulting from foreign and state NOL carryforwards of $58,110$16.6 million and other foreign deductible carryforwards of $16,817.$8.3 million. At December 31, 2016,2019, we had a valuation allowance of $6,192$17.3 million against deferred tax assets related to certain carryforwards.
Certain non-U.S. operations have incurred net operating losses (NOLs), which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. These NOLs may become deductible to the extent these operations become profitable. For each of our operations, we evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the tax benefits related to NOLs will be realized. As part of this evaluation, we consider evidence such as tax planning strategies, historical operating results, forecasted taxable income, and recent financial performance. In the year that certain non-U.S. operations record a loss, we do not recognize a corresponding tax benefit, thus increasing our effective tax rate. Upon determining that it is more likely than not that the NOLs will be realized, we will reduce the tax valuation allowances related to these NOLs, which will result in a reduction of our income tax expense and our effective tax rate in the period.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. Among other provision, the law provides relief to U.S. federal corporate taxpayers through temporary adjustments to net operating loss rules, changes to limitations on interest expense deductibility, the acceleration of available refunds for minimum tax credit carryforwards, and depreciation method changes. We do not expect the provisions of the legislation to have a significant impact on our effective tax rate nor the income tax payable and deferred income tax positions of the Company.
Note 612 – Long-Term Compensation Plan and Stock Based Compensation (share counts in thousands)

We awarded restricted stock units subject to the achievement of service and future performance criteria during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which allow for up to 198 shares to be earned if the performance criteria are fully achieved. The fair value of these awards was $4.1 million at the dates of grant. The Company currently believes that none of these shares will be earned, and the compensation costs recorded through the six months ended June 30, 2020 for these unvested shares issued with performance criteria that are no longer considered probable of achievement have been reversed during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company currently believes that certain restricted stock units subject to the achievement of future performance criteria, awarded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, will not be earned. The compensation costs recorded for the 8 and 106 unvested shares issued during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with performance criteria that are no longer considered probable of achievement have been reversed during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 713 – Common Stock and Earnings per Share
In connection with the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued 131 total shares of restricted common stock, 120 shares for awards granted (share counts in 2017 and 11 performance shares related to awards provisioned in prior years.thousands)
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents to the extent they are not anti-dilutive. Because the Company is in a net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, diluted net loss per share for these periods excludes the effects of common stock equivalents, which are anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the anti-dilutive effect of our securities is immaterial.

Note 814 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
DuringWe are a party to or have intellectual property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the second quarter of 2015, our management became aware that certainordinary course of our products which were sold by our European subsidiary to a third-party distributor may have been resold bybusiness. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the distributor to parties in Iran, potentially including parties whose property and interests in property may be blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13224, Executive Order 13382 orprobability is remote that may be identified under Section 560.304the outcome of 31 C.F.R. Part 560 as the “Government of Iran”.
We ceased shipping to such distributor. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors initiated an internal review of this matter with the assistance of outside counsel. As a precautionary matter, concurrent initial notices of voluntary disclosure were submitted on June 25, 2015 to each of these matters, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”).
The Audit Committee with the assistance of outside counsel completed their review in 2015. On December 15, 2015, we filed a letter with BIS (Office of Export Enforcement) with the conclusion that the products supplied to the distributor were not subject to United States Export Control jurisdiction. The Office of Export Enforcement issued a “no action” letter, concluding the voluntary self-disclosure process under the Export Administration Regulations.
16
On January 13, 2016, we filed a letter with OFAC, with the conclusions that VASCO and its subsidiaries made no direct sales to Iran or any party listed by OFAC as a Specially Designated National over the five-year period under review (i.e., June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015). The letter further noted that the investigation did not identify any involvement on the part of senior management officials of VASCO, and to the contrary, noted that VASCO executive management officials had sought to implement procedures and provided notices to VASCO’s sales personnel to prevent the diversion of VASCO products to unauthorized destinations and end users.
We have not received any response to the letter to OFAC and we cannot predict when OFAC will conclude their review of our voluntary self-disclosures. Based upon the OFAC guidelines for monetary penalties, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we accrued $900 for potential penalties if they are assessed by OFAC. Ultimately no penalty may be assessed or the penalty may be less or greater than the accrual, but in any event we do not believe that the final settlementlegal proceedings described below, will have a material adverse impacteffect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our business.financial results in any particular interim reporting period. Among the factors that we consider in this assessment are the nature of existing legal proceedings and claims, the asserted or possible damages or loss contingency (if estimable), the progress of the case, existing law and precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, our experience in similar cases and the experience of other companies, the facts available to us at the time of assessment and how we intend to respond to the proceeding or claim. Our assessment of these factors may change over time as individual proceedings or claims progress.
22
Although we cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty, where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, U.S. GAAP requires us to disclose an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. We follow a process in which we seek to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, and only if we are unable to make such an estimate do we conclude and disclose that an estimate cannot be made. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated below in our discussion of legal proceedings, a reasonably possible loss or range of loss associated with any individual legal proceeding cannot be estimated.
On July 28, 2015We include various types of indemnification clauses in our agreements. These indemnifications may include, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to our intellectual property, direct damages and consequential damages. The type and amount of such indemnifications vary substantially based on our assessment of risk and reward associated with each agreement. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification clauses is minimal, and we cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions. We have no liabilities recorded for these clauses as of September 30, 2020.
We have been involved in an ongoing dispute with a putative class actionGerman company, Onespin solutions GmbH, regarding the co-existence of, or alleged infringement with, its trademark in certain jurisdictions for “ONESPIN” and our trademark in certain jurisdictions for “ONESPAN”. Onespin sells integrated circuit integrity verification solutions for use in the system on chip software development process flow. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter we reached an immaterial settlement with OneSpin on these matters. While certain administrative steps and filings will occur pursuant to the settlement, we consider this matter to now be closed.
A complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Linda J. Rossbach v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑06605, naming VASCOon August 20, 2020 against OneSpan and certain of its current and former executive officers, as defendants and alleging violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The suit was purportedly filed on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased VASCO securities between April 28, 2015 and July 28, 2015, and seeks to recover damages allegedly caused by the defendants’ allegedasserting claims for purported violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and SEC Rule 10b‑510b-5 promulgated thereunder.thereunder, based on certain alleged material misstatements and omissions. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to a September 1, 2015 scheduling order entered by the court, the lead plaintiff, once appointed, will have sixty days to file an amended complaint or notify the defendants that the lead plaintiff intends to rely on the current complaint. On January 30, 2017, the appointed lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint in which the allegations regarding OFAC related matters were dropped and replaced with allegations regarding public disclosures made by the defendants in April 2015 as compared to public statements made in July 2015, generally regarding the strength of the Company’s business and its future prospects. This case is now referredcaptioned Almendariz v. OneSpan Inc., et al., No. 1:20-cv-04906 (N.D. Ill.) (the “Securities Class Action”). Specifically, the plaintiff in the Securities Class Action alleges, among other things, that certain statements about OneSpan’s business were misleading because of defendants’ failure to bydisclose that OneSpan purportedly had inadequate internal procedures and controls over financial reporting and related disclosures; and OneSpan purportedly downplayed the namenegative impacts of immaterial errors in its financial statements.
A complaint, related in subject matter to the new lead plaintiff, Bunk. The defendantsSecurities Class Action, was filed a motion to dismiss the Bunk complaint on March 31, 2017. Although the ultimate outcomeOctober 23, 2020 against certain of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against the action vigorously. VASCO is indemnifying itsOneSpan’s officers and directors, for this matter.
On October 9, 2015, a derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Elizabeth Herrera v. Hunt, et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑08937, naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain of its current and former executive officers as individual defendants and the Companynames OneSpan as a nominal defendant. The case is captioned Klein v. Boroditzky, et al., No. 1:20-cv-06310 (N.D. Ill.) (the “Derivative Action” and, collectively with the Securities Class Action, the “Litigation”). The plaintiff asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control and corporate waste, as well as a claim for contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act, based on the same alleged wrongdoing pled in the Herrera case voluntarily dismissedSecurities Class Action. We believe that the action on July 12, 2017. Two additional complaints, captioned Beth Seltzer v. Hunt, et al., case number 2015‑ch‑15541, and William Hooper v. Hunt, et al., case number 2016‑ch‑04054, were filed on October 22, 2015 and March 22, 2016, respectively,claims in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois naming the same defendants.Litigation are meritless and intend to defend against them vigorously.
The complaints assert, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making material misstatements
From time to time, we have been involved in litigation and omitting material information from, the Company’s public disclosures and by failing to maintain adequate internal controls and properly manage the Company. Among other things, the complaints seek unspecified compensatory damages and injunctive relief.
On October 29, 2015, a defendant removed the Seltzer actionclaims incidental to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Thereafter, the plaintiff led a motion to remand the action back to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, which was denied on February 3, 2016. On February 9, 2016, the court granted an agreed motion for voluntary dismissal of the Seltzer action, which dismissed the action with prejudice as to the named plaintiff’s individual claims. As for the Hooper action, the court granted a stay on June 8, 2016 and on July 18, 2017, the plaintiff in Hooper amended the complaint to largely mirror the amended complaint in Bunk.
On July 19, 2017, a derivative complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, captioned Fancesco D’Angelo v. Hunt, et. al., naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain former officers as individual
17
defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. This complaint largely follows the allegations in the Bunk case. The D’Angelo case has been consolidated with the Hooper case and remains subject to stay.
In February 2017, we learned that oneconduct of our integrated reseller customers, and certain of its end customers, were namedbusiness, such as defendantscompensation claims from current or former employees in a patent infringement lawsuit in Japan relatedEurope. We expect that to our CRONTO technology. We have indemnification obligations in favor of our customer and are working with them to defend such suit. We believe there are strong grounds to argue that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid andcontinue. Excluding matters specifically disclosed above, we are defending our technology vigorously. However, the outcome of this suitnot a party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in management’s opinion, is uncertain. If the plaintiff were ablelikely to succeed in this case and impede our ability to sell, and our customers’ ability to use, products utilizing our CRONTO technology, then such result could have a material adverse impacteffect on ourits business, andfinancial condition or results of operations.
On March 14, 2017, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., claiming VASCO infringed on certain patent rights of the plaintiff. On May 8, 2017, VASCO answered the complaint denying the allegations of patent infringement. The parties are currently engaged in early motion practice in the case. The plaintiff has also brought suit against various other companies in the cybersecurity industry. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.
Note 9 – Related Party
In August 2017, Able N.V. (“Able”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was sold to an employee of Able for a de minimis amount. The operating results of Able through the date of sale are included in the consolidated financial statements and are not significant to our consolidated results. In addition, our results for the third quarter include a loss on sale of approximately $227, recorded within general and administrative expenses.
Concurrent with the sale, we provided Able an unsecured line of credit of 1,500 Euro ($1,770 at an exchange rate of $1.18 dollars per Euro). Interest accrues at the rate of 2% per annum. Beginning in August 2017, Able may take advances against the line of credit for a period of eighteen months followed by twelve quarterly repayments. As of September 30, 2017, no amounts have been advanced. In addition, we entered into a transition services agreement with Able whereby we agreed to provide certain administrative services for a period of three months and Able agreed to provide office space and consulting services for an agreed upon periodic fee as long as the services are provided.
Note 10 – Subsequent Event

COVID-19 Pandemic Response and Impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. In response to the pandemic, the United States and various foreign, state and local governments have, among other actions, imposed travel and business restrictions and required or advised communities in which we do business to adopt stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, causing some businesses to adjust, reduce or suspend operating activities. The pandemic and the various governments’ response have caused significant and widespread uncertainty, volatility and disruptions in the U.S. and global economies, including in the regions in which we operate.
Outlook and Financial Results
Beginning in the Summer of 2020 and continuing through the three months ended September 30, 2020, we have experienced softened demand for certain of our products and services due to economic uncertainty connected with the continued seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, we have begun to experience less demand than originally projected in our hardware business. As a result, our hardware revenues for 2020 could be substantially below such revenues as compared to 2019. We believe this is primarily due to the increased hardware demand we saw last year in Europe due to our customers needing to meet banking regulations imposed by Payment Services Directive 2 (“PSD2”). In addition, other factors could be contributing to the current and expected demand environment such as less demand for hardware in a pandemic environment, a more pronounced shift to digital alternatives, and fewer large projects that often had a significant positive effect on hardware revenue results in the past.
24
In the current and future periods, we may experience weaker customer demand, requests for discounts or extended payment terms, customer bankruptcies, supply chain disruption, employee staffing constraints and difficulties, government restrictions or other factors that could negatively impact the Company and its business, operations and financial results.
As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the pandemic or its impact on economic and financial markets, any negative impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but it could be material. We continue to monitor closely the Company’s financial health and liquidity and the impact of the pandemic on the Company. We are able to serve the needs of our customers while taking steps to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners, and communities. See Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors of this Form 10‑Q.10-Q for additional information regarding the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company.

Our sales force is able to offer each customercustomers a choice of an on-site implementation using our traditional on-premises model or a cloud implementation for some solutions using our services platform.
Our product offerings, including authentication, anti-fraud, and electronic signature solutions, provide a flexible and affordable means of establishing trust in users, their devices, and the transactions that they are conducting. Many of our authentication products calculate dynamic passwords, also known as one-time passwords (“OTP”) that authenticate users logging into applications and onto corporate networks. In addition, our anti-fraud products can be used to enable electronic signatures to protect electronic transactions and the integrity of the contents of such transactions.Industry Growth
Industry Growth: We do not believe that there are accurate measurements of the total industry’s size or the industry’s growth rate. We believe however, the marketmarkets for authentication, anti-fraud,fraud mitigation, agreement automation, and electronic signature solutions will continue to grow driven by new government regulations, growing awareness of the impact of cyber-crime, increasing focus on the digital experience for mobile and online users, and the growth in commerce transacted electronically.electronic commerce.

Economic Conditions:
Our revenue may vary significantly with changes in the economic conditions in the countries in which we currently sell products. With our current concentration of revenue in Europe and specifically in the banking and finance

While the European Union and European Central Bank continue to implement programsregions in response to changing economic conditions, Europe continues to struggle with sovereign debt issues and weakening currencies. As a result, Europe may continue to face difficult economic conditions inwhich we operate. See Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the remainderpotential impact of 2017 and into 2018. ShouldCOVID-19 on the sovereign debt issue escalate, economic difficulties may negatively impact the global economy and our business.Company.
During June 2016, voters in the United Kingdom passed a referendum providing for withdrawal from the European Union. While customer revenues from the United Kingdom and transactions denominated in British pounds are not significant, uncertainty surrounding withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union may be a negative influence on normal ordering patterns within the European Banking market.
The European Banking market has been challenged by weak economic conditions and increased regulatory and risk mandates. Strategic priorities of many banks include improving efficiencies, and addressing regulatory and risk issues. To improve efficiencies, many banks have significantly reduced headcount while pursuing enhanced online and mobile customer services. Bank regulation periodically addresses enhanced cyber and data security. We believe our products are well positioned for online and mobile offerings and provide enhanced security, however, economic conditions, reduced headcount, and the transitioning of priorities may cause disruption in normal ordering patterns.Cybersecurity Risks
In the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, revenue from our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region comprised 45% of total revenue compared 52% and 47% for the same periods in 2016.
Cybersecurity:Our use of technology is increasing and is critical in three primary areas of our business:
1. | Software and information systems that we use to help us run our business more efficiently and cost effectively; |
2. |
|
3. |
|
We believe that the risks and consequences of potential incidents in each of the above areas are different.
In the case of the information systems we use to help us run our business, we believe that an incident could disrupt our ability to take orders or deliver product to our customers, but such a delay in these activities would not have a material impact on our overall results. To minimize this risk, we actively use various forms of security and monitor the use of our systems regularly to detect potential incidents as soon as possible.
In the case of products integrated into customer software applications,that we have traditionally sold, we believe that the risk of a potential cyber incident is minimal. We offer our customers the ability to either create the secret numbers themselves or have us create the numbers on their behalf. When asked to create the numbers, we do so in a secure environment with limited physical access and store the numbers on a system that is not connected to any other network, including other VASCOOneSpan networks, and similarly, is not connected to the internet.

In the case of our products and services that includecloud-based solutions, which involve the active daily processing of the customer information, on our servers or servers managed by others in a hosted environment, we believe a cyber incident could have a material impact on our future business. We alsoWhile our revenue from cloud-based solutions comprises a minority of our revenue today, we believe that these products may be more susceptible to cyber-attacks than our other products since it involves the active processing of customer information.solutions will provide substantial future growth. A cyber incident involving these productssolutions in the future could substantially impair our ability to grow the business and we could suffer significant monetary and other losses and significant reputational harm.
To minimize the risk, we review our product security and procedures on a regular basis. Our reviews include the processes and software programscode we are currently in useusing as well as new forms of cyber incidentsthe hosting platforms and new or updated software programsprocedures that may be available in the market that would helpwe employ. We mitigate the risk of incidents.cyber incidents through a series of reviews, tests, tools and training. Certain insurance coverages may apply to certain cyber incidents. Overall, we expect the cost of securing our networks will increase in future periods, whether through increased staff, systems or insurance coverage.
While we did not experience any cyber incidents in the first nine months of 2020 that had a significant impact on our business, it is possible that we could experience an incident in 2020 or future years, which could result in unanticipated costs.
Currency Fluctuation
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 90% and 89%, respectively, of our revenue was generated outside of the United States. While the majority of our revenues are generated outside of the
26
United States, a significant amount of our revenue earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was denominated in U.S. Dollars. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we estimate that approximately 33% and 42%, respectively, of our revenue was denominated in U.S. Dollars.
In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 73% and 73% of our operating expenses were incurred outside of the United States. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates, especially the Euro exchange rate and the Canadian Dollar exchange rate, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.
In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations on operating income, we attempt to denominate an amount of billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. If the amount of our revenue in Europe denominated in Euros continues as it is now or declines, we may not be able to balance fully the exposures of currency exchange rates on revenue and operating expenses.
The financial position and the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Switzerland, Singapore and Canada, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated other comprehensive gain of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and other comprehensive loss of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, translation adjustments generated other comprehensive loss of $3.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively. These amounts are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The functional currency for our subsidiaries in Switzerland, Singapore and Canada is the U.S. Dollar.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net. Foreign exchange transaction gains aggregated $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.9 million of foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated for the three months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated $0.1 million compared to losses aggregated of $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of our hardware products, software licenses, subscriptions, maintenance and support, and professional services. We believe comparison of revenues between periods is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments reflecting the transactional nature of significant parts of our business.
● | Product and license revenue. Product and license revenue includes hardware products and software licenses, which can be provided on a perpetual or term basis. |
● | Service and other revenue. Service and other revenue includes subscription solutions (which is our definition of software-as-a-service solutions), maintenance and support, and professional services. |
27
Cost of Goods Sold
Our total cost of goods sold consists of cost of product and license revenue and cost of service and other revenue. We expect our cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, although it may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period.
● | Cost of product and license revenue. Cost of product and license revenue primarily consists of direct product and license costs. |
● | Cost of service and other revenue. Cost of service and other revenue primarily consists of costs related to subscription solutions, including personnel and equipment costs, and personnel costs of employees providing professional services and maintenance and support. |
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, or gross margin, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including our average selling price, manufacturing costs, the mix of products sold, and the mix of revenue among products, subscriptions and services. We expect our gross margins to fluctuate over time depending on these factors.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in revenue may cause significant variations in the period-to-period comparisons of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.
Generally, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 65% of our operating expenses, respectively. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount. We attempt to manage our headcount within the context of the economic environments in which we operate and the investments we believe we need to make for our infrastructure to support future growth and for our products to remain competitive.
Historically, operating expenses have been impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. We estimate the change in currency rates in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 resulted in an increase in operating expenses of approximately $0.2 million.
The comparison of operating expenses can also be impacted significantly by costs related to our stock-based and long-term incentive plans. Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $1.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively of expenses related to stock-based and long-term incentive plan costs compared to $0.8 million and $3.3 million of stock-based and long-term incentive plan cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
● | Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, commissions and bonuses, trade shows, marketing programs and other marketing activities, travel, outside consulting costs, and long-term incentive compensation. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in sales resources in key focus areas, although our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue. |
● | Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and long-term incentive compensation. We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our future solutions, although our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue. |
● | General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, legal and other professional fees, and long term incentive compensation. We expect general and |
28
administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars although our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue. |
● | Amortization of intangible assets. Acquired intangible assets are amortized over their respective amortization periods, and are periodically evaluated for impairment. |
Interest Income, Taxes: Net
Interest income, net consists of income earned on our cash equivalents and short term investments. Our cash equivalents and short term investments are invested in short-term instruments at current market rates.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ functional currencies, subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our research and development in those countries and other miscellaneous non-operational expenses.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate reflects our global structure related to the ownership of our intellectual property (“IP”). All our IP in our traditional authentication business is owned by two subsidiaries, one in the U.S. and one in Switzerland. These two subsidiaries have entered into agreements with most of the other VASCOOneSpan entities under which those other entities provide services to our U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries on either a percentage of revenue or on a cost plus basis or both. Under this structure, the earnings of our service provider subsidiaries are relatively constant. These service provider companies tend to be in jurisdictions with higher effective tax rates. Fluctuations in earnings tend to flow to the U.S. company and the Swiss company. EarningsIn 2020, earnings flowing to the U.S. company are expected to be taxed at a rate of 35%21% to 40%25%, while earnings flowing to the Swiss company are expected to be taxed at a rate ranging from 10%11% to 12%, plus Swiss withholding tax of an additional 5%. OurA Canadian and UK subsidiary currently sellssell to and services directly toservice global customers.customers directly. In addition, many of our OneSpan entities operate as distributors for all of our OneSpan products.
With
As the majority of our revenues beingare generated outside of the U.S., our consolidated effective tax rate is strongly influenced by the effective tax rate of our foreign operations. Changes in the effective rate related to foreign operations reflect changes in the geographic mix of where the earnings are realized and the tax rates in each of the countries in which it is earned. The statutory tax ratesrate for the primary foreign tax jurisdictions rangeranges from 8%11% to 34%35%.
The geographic mix of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries will primarily dependdepends on the level of pretax income of our service provider subsidiaries’ pretax income, which is recorded as an expense by the U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries and the benefit that is realized in the U.S. and Switzerland through the sales of product. The level of pretax income in our service provider subsidiaries is expected to vary based on:
1. | the staff, programs and services offered on a yearly basis by the various subsidiaries as determined by management, or |
2. | the changes in exchange rates related to the currencies in the service provider subsidiaries, or |
3. | the amount of revenues that the service provider subsidiaries generate. |
For items 1 and 2 above, there is a direct impact in the opposite direction on earnings of the U.S. and Swiss entities. Any change from item 3 is generally expected to result in a larger change in income in the U.S. and Swiss entities in the direction of the change (increased revenues expected to result in increased margins/pretax profits and conversely decreased revenues expected to result in decreased margins/pretax profits).
In addition to the provision of services, the intercompany agreements transfer the majority of the business risk to our U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries. As a result, the contracting subsidiaries’ pretax income is reasonably assured while the pretax income of the U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries varies directly with our overall success in the market.
29
In November 2015, we acquired eSignLive,OneSpan Canada Inc. (formerly eSignLive), a foreign company with substantial IP and net operating losses and other tax carryforwards. The tax benefit of the carryforwards net of deferred tax liabilities, has been fully reserved as realization has not been deemed more likely than not.
In May 2018, we acquired Dealflo Limited (“Dealflo”), a foreign company with substantial IP and net operating losses. The tax benefit of the loss carryforwards will be reserved to the extent they exceed the deferred tax liabilities recognized upon acquisition as realization has not been deemed more likely than not.

Total revenue decreased $20.2 million or 11%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, driven by a $29.7 million decrease in hardware revenue and a $5.8 million decrease in perpetual software license revenue, partially offset by an increase in recurring revenue. Recurring revenue increased $15.2 million or 27% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Year-over-year revenue comparisons were affected by the one-time positive impact on 2019 revenue from the PSD2 regulation deadline. We also experienced reduced demand for our hardware and term software license products due to an uncertain near-term business outlook for certain of our revenues are generated outsidecustomers as a result of the United States,pandemic.
Product and license revenue decreased $31.0 million or 51% during the majoritythree months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was largely driven by a decrease in hardware sales. Hardware sales were heightened during the three months ended September 30, 2019 because of our revenue in the third quarter and firstPSD2 regulation deadline, as well as lower demand due to the pandemic. Software license sales also decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, which we attribute to softened demand as a result of the pandemic.

For the Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rate, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.
In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations on operating income, we attempt to denominate an amount of billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. If the amount of our revenue denominated in Euros continues as it is now or declines, we do not expect that we will be able to balance fully the exposures of currency exchange rates on revenue and operating expenses.

The increase for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2016. 2019 was driven by higher subscription and maintenance revenue.

We estimatebelieve comparison of revenues between periods is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments reflecting the transactional nature of significant parts of our business. As a result of the volatility in our business, we believe that the change in currency rates in 2017 compared to 2016 resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $903 and a decrease of $195 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 and an increase in operating expenses of approximately$576 for the quarter and a decrease of $576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016.

The majority of our inventory purchases are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our sales are denominated in various currencies including the Euro. As the U.S. Dollar weakened against the Euro in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, revenue from sales in Euros increased, as measured in U.S. Dollars, without a corresponding change in cost of goods sold. The impact of changes in currency rates are estimated to have increased revenue by approximately $903 in the third quarter of 2017. Had currency rates in the third quarter of 2017 been equal to rates in the same period in 2016, the gross profit margin would have been approximately 0.5 percentage points lower for the third quarter of 2017.

Dollars, decreased, without a corresponding change in the cost of goods sold. The impact of changes in currency rates are estimated to have decreased revenue by approximately $195 for the first nine months of 2017. Had currency rates in 2017 been equal to rates in the same period in 2016, the gross profit margin would have been approximately 0.04 percentage points higher for the first nine months of 2017.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels$1.8 million and are fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in revenue may cause significant variations in quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.
Generally, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 65% of our operating expenses. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount. We attempt to manage our headcount within the context of the economic environments in which we operate and the investments we believe we need to make for our infrastructure to support future growth and for our products to remain competitive. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, average headcount was 1% lower and 4% higher, respectively,less than the same periods in 2016.
Historically, operating expenses can be impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. As noted above, we estimate that the change in currency rates in 2017 compared to 2016 resulted in an increase in operating expenses of approximately$576 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a decrease of $576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016.
The comparison of operating expenses can also be impacted significantly by costs related to our stock-based and long-term incentive plans. Operating expenses$0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $1,2672020, respectively. Had currency rates in 2020 been equal to rates in 2019, the gross profit margins would have been approximately 3.4 percentage points and $3,199, respectively, of expense related to the stock-based and long-term incentive plans compared to $1,579 and $5,457zero percentage points lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2020, respectively.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2029. The Company recorded income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $1.8 million, compared to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in expense for both periods was attributable to decreased profits in the period excluding losses at entities where we cannot record a tax benefit.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared2020, the Company utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to exchange lossescalculate its interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of $110the estimate annual effective tax rate yields an estimate that is not reliable and gains of $152 for the same periods in 2016.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2,558 and $2,994, respectively, an increase of $1,777 and a decrease of $152 from the same periods in 2016. The increase in tax expense in 2017 from 2016 for the third quarter is primarily due to higher pretax income in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in tax expense in 2017 from 2016 for the nine months is primarily attributable to lower pretax income, partially offset by discrete items related to changes in estimates upon completion of tax filings and a measurement period adjustment in 2016.

At December 31, 2016, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7,027 for future U.S. tax returns. These foreign tax credits expire in 2023 through 2026. We have not provided a valuation reserve for the foreign tax credits as we believe it is more likely than not that they will be realized.
At December 31, 2016, we had deferred tax assets of $16,655 resulting from foreign and state NOL carryforwards of $58,110 and other foreign deductible carryforwards of $16,817. At December 31, 2016, we had a valuation allowance of $6,192 against deferred tax assets related to certain carryforwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2017,2020, we had net cash balances (total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash less bank borrowings)equivalents) of $49,261$85.9 million and short-term investments of $109,463. $26.8 million. Short term investments consist of U.S. treasury bills and notes, government agency notes, corporate notes and bonds, and high quality commercial paper with maturities at acquisition of more than three months and less than twelve months.
At December 31, 2016,2019, we had net cash balances of $49,345$84.3 million and short-term investments of $94,856. $25.5 million.
We had no outstanding debt orare in a lease agreement that required a letter of credit in the amount of $0.8 million to secure the obligation. The restricted cash related to this letter of credit is recorded in other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2017, or December 31, 2016.
Short-term investments at September 30, 2017,2020 and December 31, 2016, consisting of high quality commercial paper with maturities of less than nine months, were held by our U.S. and Swiss entities and issued by domestic and foreign corporations.
2019. Our working capital at September 30, 20172020 was $159,370, an increase of $20,171 or 15% from $139,199$135.5 million compared to $136.0 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in the combined balance of cash and short-term investments as well as the increase in working capital at September 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016 primarily reflects the benefit of cash flow from operations for 2017.2019.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, we held $30,757$83.2 million of cash and short-term investmentscash equivalents in bankssubsidiaries outside of the United States. Of that amount, $30,546$82.6 million is not subject to repatriation restrictions, but may be subject to taxes upon repatriation.
We believe that our financial resources are adequate to meet our operating needs over the next twelve months.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014‑09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014‑09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The standard creates a five-step model to achieve its core principle: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, entities must disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue andOur cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about: (i) the entity’s contracts with customers; (ii) the significant judgments,as follows:

Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities is primarily comprised of net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, and changes in judgments,operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments consist primarily of amortization and impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, and stock-based compensation. We expect cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by increases or decreases in sales and timing of collections. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel costs. We expect cash outflows from operating activities to be affected by increases in personnel cost as we grow our business.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.4 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $13.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The fluctuation is primarily driven by a lower accounts receivable balance, a lower inventory balance, and the timing of cash receipts accrued in deferred revenue.
36
Investing Activities
The changes in cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to timing of purchases, maturities and sales of investments, purchases of property and equipment, and activity in connection with acquisitions. We expect to continue to purchase property and equipment to support the continued growth of our business as well to continue to invest in our infrastructure and activity in connection with acquisitions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $4.1 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is related to the timing of the purchases and maturities of our short term investments.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities is comprised of tax payments for restricted stock issuances.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $2.0 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is due to a higher volume of vested shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the comparable period in 2019.
On June 10, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (“program”), pursuant to which the Company can repurchase up to $50.0 million of issued and outstanding common stock. Share purchases under the program will take place in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions and may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume, and other factors. The timing of the repurchases and the amount of stock repurchased in applyingeach transaction is subject to OneSpan’s sole discretion and will depend upon market and business conditions, applicable legal and credit requirements and other corporate considerations. As of September 30, 2020, no shares had been repurchased under the guidance to those contracts; and (iii) any assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

Critical Accounting Policy
Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for annual periods beginning afterthe year ended December 15, 2016,31, 2019 and interim periods within such annual periods, using eitherNote 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reportingquarterly period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) an approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014‑09 recognized at the date of adoption.
28
In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date deferring the newended September 30, 2020. We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue standard one yearrecognition, purchase accounting and allowing adoption as of the original effective date.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016‑08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which provides guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction and whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which provides guidance on identifying performance obligationsrelated fair value measurements and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.income taxes.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09 and provides practical expedients to simplify the transition to the new standard and clarify certain aspects of the standard.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the new revenue recognition guidance including any impacts on associated processes, systems, and internal controls. Our evaluation includes determining the unit of account (i.e., performance obligations) and standalone selling price of each performance obligation. Standalone selling prices under the new guidance may not be substantially different from our current methodologies of establishing fair value on multiple element arrangements. Based on initial assessments, we have identified certain arrangements where revenue may be recognized earlier as compared to current practice. We expect to recognize term license revenue upon delivery, rather than over the term of the arrangement. We expect to capitalize certain sales commissions upon adoption of the new standard and are currently in the process of evaluating the period over which to amortize these capitalized costs. We continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance and subsequent amendments on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and any preliminary assessments are subject to change. We will adopt this guidance as of the first quarter of 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method.
We adopted ASU 2015‑11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory as of January 1, 2017. ASU 2015‑11 requires measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015‑11 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In February 2016, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016‑02, Leases, which among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on balance sheet. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and mandates a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016‑02 on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, The FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017‑01 defines a business in the context of a set of transferred assets and activities. ASU 2017‑01 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017‑04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, requiring determination of the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit fair value to assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Updated guidance requires goodwill impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the respective reporting unit. Updated guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2020 and will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this updated guidance.
29
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost on the income statement by requiring service cost be presented with other employee compensation costs and other components of net periodic pension cost be presented outside of any subtotal of operating income. The ASU also stipulates that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, our management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Item 3.3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2020. For additional information, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2019.
Item 4.4 - Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who, respectively, are our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e)13a-15(e) and Rule 15d‑15(e)15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or
37
submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on thisthat evaluation, ourthe Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, due toas of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below and further in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K forend of the year ended December 31, 2016,period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017.at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016, management identified control deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. The deficiencies related to the acquisition and integration of Silanis Technology, Inc.
The Company has implemented additional controls and is in the process of executing a remediation plan. Management expects remediation of the material weakness will be completed in fiscal year 2017.
Subject to the foregoing, thereThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our quarterthe three months ended September 30, 2017 which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a‑15 and 15d‑15 under the Exchange Act2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.reporting

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our disclosure controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and procedures are designedcompliance and is subject to provide reasonable assurancelapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, dosuch limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not expect that our disclosure controls and proceduresbe prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that therereporting. However, these inherent limitations are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Becauseknown features of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company are detected. The inherent limitations includefinancial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projectionsprocess safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Also, projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time,the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or deterioration inthat the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraudand procedures may occur and may not be detected.deteriorate.

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
In additionWe are a party to or have intellectual property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of each of these matters, including the legal mattersproceedings described below, we are, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters incidental to the conduct of our business, including legal matters such as to protect our intellectual property rights and resolve employment claims. We believe that the ultimate resolution of any such current routine matter will not have a material adverse effect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our continued financial position,results in any particular interim reporting period.

Item 1A – Risk Factors
The following risk factor is provided to update the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
While we believe the coronavirus could have a negative impact on our financial results in the future, the impact is difficult to assess at this time.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how we and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations or cash flows.and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
38
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was reported and in January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. On January 10, 2011, we purchased our wholly-owned subsidiary, DigiNotar B.V., a private company organized and existing in The Netherlands fromFebruary 28, 2020, the shareholders (“Sellers”). On September 19, 2011, DigiNotar B.V. filed a bankruptcy petition under Article 4WHO raised its assessment of the Dutch Bankruptcy ActCOVID-19 threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the Haarlem District Court,number of cases and affected countries, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. A significant outbreak of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the broader economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for our products.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed our offices in March 2020 (including our corporate headquarters) in many countries except where we have been able to accommodate limited essential employees such as for the shipping of our hardware authentication tokens under revised procedures.We re-opened a limited number of our offices during the third quarter of 2020 with limited capacity under revised procedures. We are unable to predict further re-openings or whether the initial re-openings will be successful or remain in place. We implemented certain travel restrictions, remote work arrangements and other measures and while our early experience with this new situation has been satisfactory to date, it has disrupted how we normally operate our business and may in the longer term impact our productivity, innovation and effectiveness such that our results are adversely affected. We have shifted certain of our customer events to virtual-only experiences and we may deem it advisable to similarly alter, postpone or cancel entirely additional customer, employee or industry events in the future. Because we operate in multiple international locations, we expect there to be variability and additional complications from differing conditions and inconsistent guidance from numerous public health agencies.
In our hardware business, we are exposed to specific risks related to manufacturing, supply chain, shipping and distribution- all of which have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of COVID-19, we experienced some delays and increased costs related to fulfilling our hardware orders. Such issues have been primarily resolved however we may be unable to satisfy certain customer orders for our products in the future if orders substantially increase and/or supply chain problems emerge. In addition, the global economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has affected many of our customers and we believe one of those effects has been decreased orders of hardware authentication tokens. We are not able to predict at this time whether and to what extent such orders may return or in what specific quantities. This risk is in addition to the other risks associated with our hardware business as stated elsewhere in “Risk Factors.”
In our software business, we experienced some increased sales for products used in remote employee access and electronic signature in 2020 that we attribute in part to the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase may have been temporary, and we are unable to predict whether it will continue or decline. Moreover, the conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic can affect the rate of IT spending, the decision to start new IT projects, the timing of existing projects and the priority our customers place on various projects. While these factors may be positive for some of our software solutions such as electronic signature, these factors may be negative for our other software solutions, such as risk analysis software. The Netherlands. On September 20, 2011,COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to attend our events or to purchase our offerings, delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, adversely impact our ability to provide on-site sales meetings or professional services to our customers, delay the court declared DigiNotar B.V. bankruptprovisioning of our offerings, lengthen payment terms, reduce the value or duration of their contracts, or affect attrition rates, all of which could adversely affect our future sales, operating results and appointed a bankruptcy trusteeoverall financial performance. During the Summer of 2020, we began to experience some of the aforementioned scenarios, and a bankruptcy judge to manage all affairs of DigiNotar B.V.this continued through the bankruptcy process. The trustee took over managementFall of DigiNotar B.V.’s business activities and is responsible for the administration and liquidation of DigiNotar B.V. In connection2020, due to, we believe, global economic uncertainty connected with the bankruptcy of DigiNotar B.V., subsequent to September 20, 2011, a number of claims and counter-claims were filed with the courts in The Netherlands (collectively, the “Court”) related to discontinued assets and discontinued liabilities and other available remedies.
In January 2015, we received a notice of potential claim by the trustee against allcontinued seriousness of the individuals who served as Directors of DigiNotar, both before and after our acquisition of DigiNotar. T. Kendall Hunt, Jan Valcke, and Clifford K. Bown were the Directors of DigiNotar following its purchase by VASCO. The basis for the potential claim from the trustee appears to be based primarily on the same arguments that VASCO presented in its case against the sellers, which were adjudicated in VASCO’s favor.COVID-19 pandemic. While we believehope that we have strong defenses against the claim, we have also notified our provider of director and officer insurance should a claim be filed and we do not expect the resolution of the potential claim to have a material adverse effectnegative consequences on our business financial conditionassociated with the COVID-19 pandemic will subside in 2021, we cannot predict the impact with certainty.
If the restrictions on our employees, customers and others in the world continue or increase in order to limit the spread of COVID-19, the potential effects could continue and could be exacerbated, and our results of operations. VASCO is indemnifying Messrs. Hunt, Valcke,operations and Bown for this matter.
On July 28, 2015 a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Linda J. Rossbach v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑06605, naming VASCOoverall financial performance may be harmed. The duration and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants and alleging violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

complaint seeks certification as a class actionemployees, customers, partners and unspecified compensatory damages plus interestvendors. If we are not able to respond to and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to a September 1, 2015 scheduling order entered by the court, the lead plaintiff, once appointed, will have sixty days to file an amended complaint or notify the defendants that the lead plaintiff intends to rely on the current complaint. On January 30, 2017, the appointed lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint in which the allegations regarding OFAC related matters were dropped and replaced with allegations regarding public disclosures made by the defendants in April 2015 as compared to public statements made in July 2015, generally regarding the strength of the Company’s business and its future prospects. This case is now referred to by the name of the new lead plaintiff, Bunk. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Bunk complaint on March 31, 2017. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against the action vigorously. VASCO is indemnifying its officers and directors for this matter.
On October 9, 2015, a derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Elizabeth Herrera v. Hunt, et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑08937, naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain of its current and former executive officers as individual defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff in the Herrera case voluntarily dismissed the action on July 12, 2017. Two additional complaints, captioned Beth Seltzer v. Hunt, et al., case number 2015‑ch‑15541, and William Hooper v. Hunt, et al., case number 2016‑ch‑04054, were filed on October 22, 2015 and March 22, 2016, respectively, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois naming the same defendants.
The complaints assert, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making material misstatements in, and omitting material information from, the Company’s public disclosures and by failing to maintain adequate internal controls and properly manage the Company. Among other things, the complaints seek unspecified compensatory damages and injunctive relief.
On October 29, 2015, a defendant removed the Seltzer action to the United States District Court for the Northern Districtimpact of Illinois. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the action back to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, which was denied on February 3, 2016. On February 9, 2016, the court granted an agreed motion for voluntary dismissal of the Seltzer action, which dismissed the action with prejudice as to the named plaintiff’s individual claims. As for the Hooper action, the court granted a stay on June 8, 2016 and on July 18, 2017, the plaintiff in Hooper amended the complaint to largely mirror the amended complaint in Bunk.
On July 19, 2017, a derivative complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, captioned Fancesco D’Angelo v. Hunt, et. al., naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain former officers as individual defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. This complaint largely follows the allegations in the Bunk case. The D’Angelo case has been consolidated with the Hooper case and remains subject to stay.
In February 2017, we learned that one of our integrated reseller customers, and certain of its end customers, were named as defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit in Japan related to our CRONTO technology. We have indemnification obligations in favor of our customer and are working with them to defend such suit. We believe there are strong grounds to argue that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid and we are defending our technology vigorously. However, the outcome of this suit is uncertain. If the plaintiff were able to succeed in this case and impede our ability to sell, and our customers’ ability to use, products utilizing our CRONTO technology, then such result could have a material adverse impact onevents effectively, our business and results of operations.will be harmed.
On March 14, 2017, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., claiming VASCO infringed on certain patent rights of the plaintiff. On May 8, 2017, VASCO answered the complaint denying the allegations of patent infringement. The parties are currently engaged in motion practice and discovery in the case. The plaintiff has also brought suit against various other companies in the cybersecurity industry. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

Item 5.5 – Other Information.Information
During
As disclosed in the second quarterCompany’s current report on Form 8-K filed June 15, 2020, the Company held its annual meeting of 2015, our management became aware that certain of our products which were sold by our European subsidiarystockholders on June 10, 2020. Among the matters submitted to a third-party distributor may have been resold by the distributor to parties in Iran, potentially including parties whose property and interests in property may be blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13224, Executive Order 13382 or that may be identified under Section 560.304 of 31 C.F.R. Part 560 as the “Government of Iran”.
We ceased shipping to such distributor. In addition, the Audit Committeevote of the stockholders was an advisory vote to approve the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. The stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, a frequency of every year for future advisory votes to approve the Company’s executive compensation (“say on pay”). There were 19,121,924 votes cast for a frequency of every year; 25,085 votes cast for a frequency of every two years; 13,861,687 votes cast for a frequency of every three years; and 18,235 abstentions.
Based on these results, the Board of Directors initiated an internal review of this matter with the assistance of outside counsel. As a precautionary matter, concurrent initial notices of voluntary disclosure were submitted on June 25, 2015 to each of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”).
The Audit Committee with the assistance of outside counsel has completed their review. On December 15, 2015, we filed a letter with BIS (Office of Export Enforcement) with the conclusiondetermined that the products supplied toCompany will hold say on pay votes every year, until the distributor were not subject to United States Export Control jurisdiction. The Office of Export Enforcement issued a “no action” letter, concluding the voluntary self-disclosure process under the Export Administration Regulations.
In addition, on January 13, 2016, we filed a letter with OFAC, with the conclusions that VASCO and its subsidiaries made no direct sales to Iran or any party listed by OFAC as a Specially Designated National over the five-year period under review (i.e., June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015). The letter further noted that the investigation did not identify any involvementnext required advisory vote on the partfrequency of senior management officials of VASCO, and to the contrary, noted that VASCO executive management officials had sought to implement procedures and provided notices to VASCO’s sales personnel to prevent the diversion of VASCO products to unauthorized destinations and end users.say on pay votes.
We have not received any response to the letter to OFAC and we cannot predict when OFAC will conclude their review of our voluntary self-disclosures. Based upon the OFAC guidelines for monetary penalties, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we accrued $900 for potential penalties if they are assessed by OFAC. Ultimately no penalty may be assessed or the penalty may be less or greater than the accrual, but in any event we do not believe that the final settlement will have a material adverse impact on our business.
