Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
St. Bernard Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company or St. Bernard) is a software development firm specializing in the design and production of innovative network systems management security software. The Company sells its products through distributors, dealers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and directly to network managers and administrators worldwide.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, the consolidated statement of stockholders deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the Companys audited financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2008.
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which, for the 2007 periods presented, include our operations in the UK and Australia. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements include those assumed in computing revenue recognition, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, testing goodwill for impairment, and assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock options under SFAS 123R.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $0.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $11.2 million. Operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $0.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company reported a realized gain of $0.3 million from the release of the first half of funds from an indemnification escrow as a result of the sale of the Open File Manager line in third quarter of 2007. The above mentioned activity yielded a net loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
At March 31, 2008, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $11.2 million and we had a stockholders deficit of approximately $8.1 million. Our expenses consist primarily of expenses that can be modified to meet our operating needs should management deem that changes are necessary. In addition, approximately $9.6 million of our current liability balance at March 31, 2008 consists of deferred revenues, which represents amounts that will be amortized into revenue as they are earned.
The Company has a history of losses and has not been able to achieve profitability. The cumulative net loss was approximately $47.6 million and $47.2 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the Company made substantial changes to the cost structure of its business. These changes included the closure

St. Bernard Software, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
of its sales and marketing offices within Europe, reducing headcount to be in line with the current size of its business, renegotiating vendor contracts, and refocusing its marketing strategy around its core business. In addition to the changes described above, the Company has also amended its current line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and entered into a bridge financing agreement with Agility Capital, LLC in January 2008 for the amount of $750,000 with monthly payments commencing on March 1, 2008 and the balance maturing on January 31, 2009.
The Company believes that its existing cash resources, combined with projected billings/revenues for 2008, cost reductions implemented in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, and its line of credit and bridge financing completed in the first quarter of 2008, will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its continuing obligations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurances that projected revenue will be achieved or the improvement in operating results will occur. In the event cash flow from operations is not sufficient, the Company may require additional sources of financing in order to maintain its current operations. These additional sources of financing may include public or private offerings of equity or debt securities. Whereas management believes it will have access to these financing sources, no assurance can be given that such additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments whose fair value approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Companys obligations under its line of credit, capital leases, and notes payable approximates their carrying value as the stated interest rates of these instruments reflect rates which are otherwise currently available to the Company.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses that are expected to be incurred, based on historical information, customer concentrations, customer solvency, current economic and geographical trends, and changes in customer payment terms and practices, and any changes are adjusted through revenue/deferred revenue.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, and consist primarily of computer hardware.
Research and development and capitalized software costs
The Companys research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, offshore development and other head-count related costs associated with product development and are expensed as incurred. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, capitalization of costs begins when technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for general release to customers. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is reached after beta testing which is shortly before the products are released to manufacturing/operations. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, the Company expenses all research and development costs when incurred. The technological feasibility of significant intellectual property that is purchased has been established prior to

St. Bernard Software, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
the acquisition and therefore the cost is capitalized. Amortization is computed on an individual product basis using the straight-line method over a useful life ranging from three to six years.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. Estimated useful lives of fixed assets range from three to eight years. Depreciation includes amortization expense for assets capitalized under capital leases.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and other Intangible Assets. The Company subjects the goodwill to an annual impairment test or when events indicate that impairment has occurred. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill has been assigned to the sum of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit. The fair value used in this evaluation is based upon discounted future cash flow projections for the reporting unit. As a result of our significant underperformance relative to the expected operating results, we tested our goodwill for impairment in 2007. Based upon the results of the impairment test, management of the Company has concluded there was no impairment of goodwill at March 31, 2008. The Company is one reporting unit for purposes of testing goodwill.
Goodwill totaled $7.6 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and arose through business acquisitions made in 2000 and 2006.
Intangible assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, management reviews our long-lived asset groups, including property and equipment and other intangibles, for impairment and whenever events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When management determines that one or more impairment indicators are present for an asset group, we compare the carrying amount of the asset group to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset group is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset group is expected to generate, management compares the fair value to the book value of the asset group. If the fair value is less than the book value, we would recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss would be the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. As a result of our significant underperformance relative to the expected operating results and current-period operating and cash flow losses coupled with the operating history of such losses, the Company tested its intangible assets for impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Based upon the results of the test, management concluded that the intangible assets related to the acquisition of AgaveOne, Inc. were impaired during 2007. Per the analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value of the long-lived intangible assets exceeded the sum of the undiscounted cash flow, over a five year projection period, expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. As a result, an impairment charge of $3.3 million was recorded at September 30, 2007 to write-down the intangible asset to zero.
Revenue and cost recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and the interpretations of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition.

St. Bernard Software, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Company generates revenue primarily by licensing software and providing related software subscription and support to its customers. The Companys software arrangements typically include: (i) an end-user license fee paid in exchange for the use of its products in perpetuity, generally based on a specified number of users; and (ii) a subscription or support arrangement that provides for technical support and product updates, generally over renewable twelve to thirty-six month periods. The Company does not require customers to purchase support and maintenance in conjunction with purchasing a software license.
In accordance with the aforementioned guidance, the Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of the customer arrangements exists, (ii) fees are fixed and determinable, (iii) acceptance has occurred, and (iv) collectability is deemed probable. The Company determines the fair value of each element in the arrangement based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value. VSOE of fair value is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately.
The Company recognizes revenue immediately for software licenses at the time of shipment or delivery of the authorization code, provided that all revenue recognition criteria set forth in SOP 97-2 are fulfilled. Revenues from support and subscription agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the support subscription period.
Sales to the Companys customers include multi-element arrangements that include a delivered element (a software license and an appliance unit) and undelivered elements (such as subscription and support). In these instances, the Company determines if these elements can be separated into multiple units of accounting. The entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value. Revenue for each element is then recognized when revenue recognition criteria for that element is met. If the Company cannot establish fair value for any undelivered element, the Company is required to recognize revenue for the whole arrangement at the time revenue recognition criteria for the undelivered element is met. Fair value for the delivered software element is based on the value received in transactions in which the software is sold on a stand-alone basis. Fair value for subscription is based on substantive renewal rates. Discounts applied to multiple-element sales are allocated to the elements based upon their respective VSOE of fair value (i.e. the price charged when the same element is sold separately). If VSOE cannot be established for one element, discounts are applied to the revenue related to the delivered elements. The Company records shipping costs in both revenue and cost of revenue when it bills its customers for shipping. The costs incurred for shipping billed to customers are reflected in cost of revenue.
The Company nets advanced billing receivable amounts for future unearned maintenance and support renewals against the related amount in deferred revenue until such time as the legal right to collection of the receivable amount has been established.
The Company generally does not grant a right of return to its customers. When a right of return exists, revenue is deferred until the right of return expires, at which time revenue is recognized provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
Probability of collection is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. The Companys customers are subjected to a credit review process that evaluates the customers financial condition and ability to pay for the Companys products and services. If it is determined from the outset of an arrangement that collection is not probable based upon the review process, revenue is not recognized until cash is received. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Deferred revenue
Revenues from support and subscription agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the support subscription period. The Company has contracts that extend to 2011.

Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Companys foreign operations is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date while nonmonetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Remeasurement gains or losses are recognized currently in consolidated operations.
Stock-based compensation and expense
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the modified prospective method. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 are based upon the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123R.
The Company has non-qualified and incentive stock option plans (together, the Plans) providing for the issuance of options to employees and others as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. Terms of options issued under the Plans include an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors) at the date of grant, vesting periods generally between three to five years, and expiration dates not to exceed ten years from date of grant. The determination of fair value of the Companys stock is derived using the value of the stock price at the grant date.
Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based compensation, expected stock price volatility factor, and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the valuation assumptions in the table below. The Company estimates the expected life of stock options granted based upon managements consideration of the historical life of the options and the vesting period and contractual period of the options granted. The Company estimates the expected volatility factor of its common stock based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of a publicly traded surrogate of the Company and the Companys implied volatility from its common stock price. The Company applies its risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant.

Employee stock purchase plan
The Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, was adopted by our board of directors in December 2006, and approved by our shareholders in June 2007 at the annual shareholders meeting. The ESPP provides a means by which employees of the Company (and any parent or subsidiary of the Company designated by the Board of Directors to participate in the ESPP) may be given an opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company at semi-annual intervals through payroll deductions and to assist the Company in retaining the services of its employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company. The Company has 400,000 shares that have been initially reserved for issuance pursuant to purchase rights under the ESPP. A participant may contribute up to 15% of his or her compensation through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on the purchase date, which is
12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
the last trading day of the offering period. The purchase price per share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per share on the start date of the offering period in which the participant is enrolled or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value per share on the purchase date. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP may be increased annually on the first day of each Company fiscal year, beginning in 2008 and ending in (and including) 2016, by an amount equal to the least of: (i) the difference between four hundred thousand (400,000) and the number of shares remaining authorized for issuance after the last purchase of shares, (ii) four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of Common Stock, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors appointed to administer the ESPP. If rights granted under the ESPP expire, lapse or otherwise terminate without being exercised, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such rights again become available for issuance under the ESPP.
For the offering period of July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, approximately $6,000 was withheld from employee earnings the stock purchases of 12,315 shares of Common Stock on January 2, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $8,000 has been withheld from employee earnings for stock purchases of Common Stock under the ESPP for the offering period of January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008. Compensation expense was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Shares available for issuance under the ESPP are as follows:

Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the components of basic loss per share and also gives effect to dilutive common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents include stock options and warrants. No dilutive effect was calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as the Company reported a net loss in each period.
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the combination of the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

Guarantees and warranty obligations
The Companys customer agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying such customers against liabilities if the Companys products infringe a third partys intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company accrues for warranty expenses related to hardware and software products as part of its cost of revenue at the time revenue is recognized and maintains an accrual for estimated future warranty obligations based upon the relationship between historical and anticipated warranty costs and revenue volumes. If actual warranty expenses are greater than those projected, additional obligations and other charges against earnings may be required. If actual warranty expenses are less than projected, prior obligations could be reduced, providing a positive impact on reported results. The Company generally provides a one-year warranty on hardware products and a 60-day warranty on software products.
New accounting standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The accounting provisions of SFAS 161 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that this statement will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The accounting provisions of SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised), Business Combinations. The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 160 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
14
St. Bernard Software, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
On February 15, 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the fair value option). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies in those instances where other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements and the board of directors has previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2007 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 classifications. These reclassifications have no effect on reported net income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
in the amount of $1,000,000. The Loan Agreement further provided for letters of credit, advances in connection with SVB cash management services and a special reserve for foreign currency exchange contracts with SVB which in the aggregate may not exceed $250,000. The borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit is reduced by the amount of outstanding principal of any term loans, any outstanding letters of credit, any advances in connection with SVB cash management services and the amount of the reserve for foreign currency exchange contracts with SVB and is subject to the other terms and conditions described in the Loan Agreement. Advances under the revolving line of credit and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the greater of (i) SVBs announced prime rate or (ii) 7.50%.
The obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of St. Bernards assets other than certain intellectual property rights.
The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and other restrictions. The affirmative covenants include, among others, the delivery of financial statements and accounts receivables schedules to SVB, the maintenance of insurance and the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth. St. Bernard has also agreed that without the consent of SVB, it shall refrain from activities such as engaging in a merger or acquisition, incurring indebtedness, paying dividends or making distributions to its stockholders, repurchasing capital stock or making payments on subordinated debt.
In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, St. Bernard issued warrants to SVB on May 16, 2007, which allows SVB to purchase up to 100,000 shares of St. Bernard common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the warrants issue date. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt issue costs in the amount of $91,000, based on the estimated fair value allocated to the warrants using the following assumptions; 73.56% volatility, risk free interest rate of 4.71%, an expected life of five years and no dividends.

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Amendment, among other things, SVB (i) refinanced the existing term loan with the proceeds of an advance under the revolving line of credit (and terminated the term loan facility), (ii) reduced the revolving line of credit it will provide to St. Bernard to an amount not to exceed $2,000,000, (iii) increased the interest rate on the revolving line of credit to 3% (from 2%) over the greater of the prime rate or 7.5%, (iv) modified the tangible net worth covenant, and (v) took a security interest in St. Bernards intellectual property. At March 31, 2008, the effective interest rate was 10.5%. At March 31, 2008 the Company was in compliance with the above stated covenants and restrictions.
In connection with the execution of the Loan Amendment, St. Bernard issued warrants to SVB on January 25, 2008, which allows SVB to purchase up to 140,350 shares of St. Bernard common stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share.

We design, develop, and market Secure Content Management, SCM, and policy compliance solutions to small, medium, and enterprise class customers. These SCM solutions enable our customers to efficiently filter and manage their employee usage policy for the internet, e-mail and instant messaging, or IM. We also provide an on-demand archiving solution for internet usage, e-mail and IM that supports our customers policy requirements for message retention and discovery. Our solutions are delivered as appliances and as on-demand software as a service, or SaaS.
Our customers include more than 5,000 business, education, and government institutions. Our customers purchase our solutions directly from us, through our 1-tier and 2-tier reseller network, and through OEMs. Appliance purchases consist of an initial hardware purchase and software subscription, with recurring fees for data and maintenance. SaaS purchases consist of a single or multi-year subscription to the hosted services. Our primary customers are IT managers, directors, and administrators.
We invested significantly in research and development activities and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 we spent $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, on research and development. Our research and development efforts have been focused on network based secure content management solutions and expanding our product portfolio into new delivery models, such as SaaS, and additional secure content management markets, such as messaging security.
Our Strategy
During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we announced a strategy that focused on the SCM market. We implemented a significant transformation that includes the divestiture of two legacy product lines, capacity expansion of our LivePrism SaaS business, and numerous cost reduction initiatives to deliver this strategy. With most of the planned transformation complete, we announced in October 2007 our intent to deliver a hybrid secure content management product family during the first half of 2008. We believe that this hybrid product strategy will differentiate the Company and enable us to grow faster than our competition. We have also started to realign our sales and marketing efforts to allow us to better serve medium-sized and enterprise class customers in conjunction with the above mentioned product strategy. As we move through 2008, we intend to finalize the Companys transformation and continue to expand our product portfolio to create additional leverage across our customer base.
Our Business Growth
We have historically grown on our internal organic growth and through acquisitions. On October 26, 2005 we entered into a merger agreement with Sand Hill IT Security Acquisition Corp., (Sand Hill or Parent), a publicly held Delaware corporation. On July 27, 2006 stockholders of Sand Hill voted to approve the merger agreement and the transactions set forth therein in which we became the Parents wholly-owned subsidiary. Sand Hill then changed its name to St. Bernard Software, Inc.
19
The shares of common stock held by the former stockholders of the private company in the merger were converted into a total of 9,733,771 shares of our stock, or approximately 69.2% of our outstanding common stock following the merger.
Upon consummation of the merger, approximately $22.3 million was released from a trust to be used by the combined company. With respect to the business combination, any public stockholder who voted against the merger could demand that we redeem their shares. The per share redemption price was equal to $5.40 per share. After payments of redeemed shares of approximately $4.2 million and costs related to the merger of approximately $1.3 million the net proceeds received by us were approximately $16.8 million. The costs incurred in connection with the merger were reflected as a reduction to the proceeds as of the effective date of the merger.
For accounting purposes the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Under this method of accounting, Sand Hill was treated as the acquired company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger was treated as the equivalent of the private company in the merger issuing stock for the net monetary assets of Sand Hill. Our historical financial statements prior to July 27, 2006, are those of the private company in the merger. All historical share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted, using a conversion factor of 0.419612277 to give effect to the reverse acquisition of Sand Hill.
Effective October 17, 2006, we acquired AgaveOne, Inc., a Nevada corporation doing business as Singlefin. Singlefin provided on-demand security and business services to small and medium sized companies, including email filtering, web filtering and instant messaging management as a hosted or on demand service. In connection with the Singlefin acquisition, we paid Singlefin stockholders and option holders $0.47 million in cash, issued 471,288 shares of common stock and assumed certain stock options granted by Singlefin and converted them into options to acquire 47,423 shares of our common stock. We also satisfied $5.5 million in Singlefin indebtedness and certain Singlefin employees received bonuses totaling $0.25 million. The aggregate value of the transaction initially recorded was approximately $8.0 million. During 2007, 66,667 shares, valued at $250,000, issued in conjunction with the purchase were cancelled as a result of indemnification claims.
Our Financial Results
We reported revenues of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.4 million in the same period in 2007, a decrease of 27.8%; a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $0.4 million, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in the same period in 2007; net basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.03, compared to $0.06 reported in the same in 2007. The decrease in the basic and diluted loss per share was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses of $4.5 million, offset by a quarter over quarter decrease in the gain on the sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.
Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.4 million compared to cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $4.6 million. The net decrease in use of cash was due primarily to lower operating losses, offset by changes in our operating asset and liability accounts.
We utilize cash in ways that management believes provide an optimal return on investment. Principal uses of our cash for investing and financing activities include new product development and purchases of property and equipment.
On May 15, 2007, we established a line of credit with SVB, terminating our line of credit with Camel Financial. On January 25, 2008, we amended our line of credit agreement with SVB. See section titled, Credit Facility for the terms of the original and amended agreement with SVB. The outstanding balance on the line of credit with SVB was $1.6 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. In addition, we secured a bridge loan with Agility Capital, LLC for $750,000 on January 25, 2008. See section titled, Bridge Loan for the terms of the agreement with Agility Capital, LLC.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we continued to invest in product development. Our efforts have been directed toward continual improvement of our secure content management appliances and system protection products. In addition, we have developed the next generation of Hybrid Solutions and the integration of our iPrism and LivePrism products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, because these policies affect the reported amounts of revenue and other significant areas in our reported financial statements and involve managements judgments and estimates. These critical accounting policies and estimates include:
| revenue recognition; |
| allowance for doubtful accounts; |
| impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; |
| accounting for income taxes; and |
| accounting for stock options. |
These policies and estimates and our procedures related to them are described in detail below and under specific areas within the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations. Please refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of St. Bernard for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included herein for further discussion of our accounting policies and estimates. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue Recognition
For each arrangement, we make significant judgments related to revenue recognition and regarding the fair value of multiple elements contained in our arrangements, judgments regarding whether our fees are fixed or determinable and judgments regarding whether collection is probable. We also make significant judgments when accounting for potential product returns. These judgments, and their effect on revenue recognition, are discussed below.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
We typically enter into arrangements with customers that include perpetual software licenses, database subscriptions, hardware appliances, maintenance and technical support. Software licenses are on a per copy basis which give customers the right to use a single copy of licensed software. We make judgments regarding the fair value of each element in the arrangement and generally account for each element separately.
Assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, license, appliance, and product revenue is recognized upon delivery in accordance with Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition. Under 97-2, we have established vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, on each element of multiple-element arrangements using the price charged when the same element is sold separately. Undelivered elements typically include subscription, maintenance and technical support and are recognized ratably over the term.
If we cannot establish fair value for any undelivered element, we would be required to recognize revenue for the whole arrangement at the time revenue recognition criteria for the undelivered element is met using Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-9, Modification of SOP No. 97-2, with respect to certain transactions.
The Fee is Fixed or Determinable
Management makes judgments, at the outset of an arrangement, regarding whether the fees are fixed or determinable. Our customary payment terms generally require payment within 30 days after the invoice date.
21
Collection is Probable
Management also makes judgments at the outset of an arrangement regarding whether collection is probable. Probability of collection is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis. We typically sell to customers with whom we have a history of successful collections. New customers can be subjected to a credit review process to evaluate the customers financial position and ability to pay. If it is determined at the outset of an arrangement that collection is not probable, then revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment.
Indirect Channel Sales
We generally recognize revenue from licensing of software products through our indirect sales channel upon sell-through or when evidence of an end-user exists. For certain types of customers, such as distributors, we recognize revenue upon receipt of a point of sales report, which is our evidence that the products have been sold through to an end-user. For resellers, we recognize revenue when we obtain evidence that an end-user exists, which is usually when the software is delivered. For licensing of our software to OEMs, royalty revenue is recognized when the OEM reports the sale of software to an end-user customer, in some instances, on a quarterly basis.
Delivery of Software Products
Our software may be physically delivered to our customers with title transferred upon shipment to the customer. We primarily deliver our software electronically, by making it available for download by our customers or by installation at the customer site. Delivery is considered complete when the software products have been shipped and the customer has access to license keys. If an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, we generally defer the revenue and recognize it upon the earlier of receipt of written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.
Product Returns and Exchanges
Our license arrangements do not typically provide customers a contractual right of return. Some of our sales programs allow customers limited product exchange rights. Management estimates potential future product returns and exchanges and reduces current period product revenue in accordance with SFAS No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists. The estimate is based on an analysis of historical returns and exchanges. Actual returns may vary from estimates if we experience a change in actual sales, returns or exchange patterns due to unanticipated changes in products or competitive or economic conditions.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management estimates potential future uncollectible accounts and recognizes expense as appropriate. The estimate is based on an analysis of historical uncollectible accounts and a review of all significant outstanding invoices. Actual bad debts may vary from estimates if we experience a change in actual sales, returns or exchange patterns due to unanticipated changes in products or competitive or economic conditions.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, management tests our goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
We compare the implied fair value of our reporting units goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of our reporting units goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
22
Goodwill arose through business acquisitions made in 2000 and 2006. We completed the test for the goodwill that arose in 2000 during the fourth quarter of 2006, and we were not required to record an impairment loss on that goodwill. As a result of our significant underperformance relative to the expected operating results, we tested our goodwill that arose in 2006 for impairment at September 30, 2007 in accordance with SFAS No. 142. We were not required to record an impairment loss on that goodwill. Goodwill will be tested during 2008 and annually, unless events indicate that an impairment test is warranted sooner. The Company is considered one reporting unit for purposes of testing goodwill.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, management reviews our long-lived asset groups, including property and equipment and other intangibles, for impairment and whenever events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When management determines that one or more impairment indicators are present for an asset group, we compare the carrying amount of the asset group to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset group is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset group is expected to generate, we compare the fair value to the book value of the asset group. If the fair value is less than the book value, we would recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss would be the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. As a result of our significant underperformance relative to the expected operating results and current-period operating and cash flow losses coupled with the operating history of such losses, the Company tested its intangible assets for impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Based upon the results of the test, management concluded that the intangible assets related to the acquisition of AgaveOne, Inc. were impaired during 2007. Per the analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value of the long-lived intangible assets exceeded the sum of the undiscounted cash flow, over a five year projection period, expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. As a result, an impairment charge of $3.3 million was recorded at September 30, 2007 to write-down the intangible asset to zero.
Some of the events that we consider as impairment indicators for our long-lived assets, including goodwill, are:
| our significant underperformance relative to expected operating results; |
| significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; |
| an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; |
| unanticipated competition; |
| a loss of key personnel; |
| significant decrease in the market value of a long-lived asset; and |
| significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or its physical condition. |
Significant assumptions and estimates are made when determining if our goodwill or other long-lived assets have been impaired or if there are indicators of impairment. Management bases its estimates on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable, but actual future results may differ from those estimates as our assumptions are inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Managements estimates include estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted revenue and costs, expected periods of asset utilization, appropriate discount rates and other variables.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We are required to estimate our income taxes in each federal, state and international jurisdiction in which we operate. This process requires that management estimate the current tax exposure as well as assess temporary differences between the accounting and tax treatment of assets and liabilities, including items such as accruals and allowances not currently deductible for tax purposes. The income tax effects of the differences identified are classified as current or long-term deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Managements judgments, assumptions and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, its interpretation of current tax laws and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Changes in tax laws or managements interpretation of tax laws, and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our balance sheet and results of
23
operations. We must also assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income and, based on this assessment, establish a valuation allowance, if required. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, we fully reserved the deferred tax assets resulting in a tax expense of $0 and $4,000, respectively. The deferred tax assets include net operating losses and may be subject to significant annual limitation under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Managements determination of the valuation allowance is based upon a number of assumptions, judgments and estimates, including forecasted earnings, future taxable income and the relative proportion of revenue and income before taxes in the various domestic and international jurisdictions in which we operate.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 effective January 2007. Interpretation 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, Interpretation 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. There was no interest and penalties recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Accounting for Stock Options
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the modified prospective method. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 are based upon the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123R.
The Company has non-qualified and incentive stock option plans (together, the Plans) providing for the issuance of options to employees and others as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. Terms of options issued under the Plans include an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors) at the date of grant, vesting periods generally between three to five years, and expiration dates not to exceed ten years from date of grant. The determination of fair value of the Companys stock is derived using the value of the stock price at the grant date.
Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based compensation, expected stock price volatility factor, and the pre-vesting option forfeiture rate. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected life of stock options granted based upon managements consideration of the historical life of the options and the vesting and contractual period of the options granted. The Company estimates the expected volatility factor of its common stock based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of a publicly traded surrogate of the Company and the Companys implied volatility from its common stock price. The Company applies its risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has no history or expectation of paying any cash dividends on its common stock. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally named as a defendant in various lawsuits. On March 14, 2007, a stockholder filed an action against the Company seeking money damages in the San Diego Superior Court for the County of San Diego, asserting claims of intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and negligence. The Company has appealed the Superior Court's denial of its motion to compel arbitration, which is currently pending. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests in this matter and expects that the resolution of this matter will not have a
24
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, due to the uncertainties in litigation, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these proceedings.

Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries, related benefits, third-party consultant fees and other engineering related costs. The decrease of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in compensation expenses related to Company layoffs and the sale of UpdateExpert and Open File Manager. In total, there were 56 fewer employees from March 31, 2008 versus the same period in 2007. Management believes that a significant investment in research and development is required to remain competitive and we expect to continue to invest in research and development activities.
We believe that the present level of research and development costs during the first quarter of 2008 will be sufficient in the future to keep our existing products competitive, however, additional development staff and other development resources will be required if a new product development effort is undertaken.

The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted of a gain from the excess renewal fees collected by Shavlik and from the release of the first half of funds from an indemnification from EVault.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The accounting provisions of SFAS 161 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that this statement will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The accounting provisions of SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised), Business Combinations. The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 160 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
29
On February 15, 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the fair value option). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies in those instances where other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements and the board of directors has previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers for purchases of products, subscription, maintenance and technical support. Our standard payment terms for both license and support invoices are net 30 days from the date of invoice. The recurring revenue subscription portion of our business is a mainstay of the cash flow we generate. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities include personnel and facilities, related expenditures and technology costs, as well as costs associated with outside support and services.
Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.4 million compared to cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $4.6 million. The net decrease in use of cash was due primarily to lower operating losses, offset by changes in our operating asset and liability accounts.
Cash flows provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The cash provided by investing activities as of March 31, 2008 was from the $250,000 payment of the first part of the Holdback Amount by EVault in satisfaction of the signed agreement between EVault and the Company for the sale of the Open File Manager product line.
30
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.6 million compared to the cash used of $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2008 was primarily from the net increase in short-term borrowings.
As a result of the activity noted above, the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to a net decrease in cash of approximately $3.7 million for the comparable period in 2007.
Credit Facility
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company had a $1,250,000 line of credit with a finance company that automatically renewed every six months. The line of credit provided for advances of up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Interest was payable monthly at 1.5% per month (18% per annum).
On May 15, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank, a California corporation (SVB). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, SVB agreed to provide St. Bernard with a two year revolving line of credit equal to the lesser of (i) $4,000,000 or (ii) the amount of the Borrowing Base, or eligible accounts receivable, as described in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provided for term loans up to $2,000,000 pursuant to which St. Bernard may request up to a maximum of six term loan advances, the first of which was made available after May 15, 2007, in the amount of $1,000,000. The Loan Agreement further provided for letters of credit, advances in connection with SVB cash management services and a special reserve for foreign currency exchange contracts with SVB which in the aggregate may not exceed $250,000. The borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit is reduced by the amount of outstanding principal of any term loans, any outstanding letters of credit, any advances in connection with SVB cash management services and the amount of the reserve for foreign currency exchange contracts with SVB and is subject to the other terms and conditions described in the Loan Agreement. Advances under the revolving line of credit and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the greater of (i) SVBs announced prime rate or (ii) 7.50%.
The obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of St. Bernards assets other than certain intellectual property rights.
The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and other restrictions. The affirmative covenants include, among others, the delivery of financial statements and accounts receivables schedules to SVB, the maintenance of insurance and the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth. St. Bernard has also agreed that without the consent of SVB, it shall refrain from activities such as engaging in a merger or acquisition, incurring indebtedness, paying dividends or making distributions to its stockholders, repurchasing capital stock or making payments on subordinated debt.
In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, St. Bernard issued warrants to SVB on May 16, 2007, which allows SVB to purchase up to 100,000 shares of St. Bernard common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the warrants issue date. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt issue costs in the amount of $91,000, based on the estimated fair value allocated to the warrants using the following assumptions; 73.56% volatility, risk free interest rate of 4.71%, an expected life of five years and no dividends. Amortization of the debt issuance costs, which is being recorded as interest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $29,000. Furthermore, St. Bernard has agreed to grant SVB certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. As of March 31, 2008, the balance on the line of credit with SVB was $1.6 million.
On January 25, 2008, St. Bernard entered into an Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Amendment) with SVB, amending the Loan and Security Agreement entered into between St. Bernard and SVB on May 15, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Amendment, among other things, SVB (i) refinanced the existing term loan with the proceeds of an advance under
31
the revolving line of credit (and terminated the term loan facility), (ii) reduced the revolving line of credit it will provide to St. Bernard to an amount not to exceed $2,000,000, (iii) increased the interest rate on the revolving line of credit to 3% (from 2%) over the greater of the prime rate or 7.5%, (iv) modified the tangible net worth covenant, and (v) took a security interest in St. Bernards intellectual property. At March 31, 2008, the effective interest rate was 10.5%. At March 31, 2008 the Company was in compliance with the above stated covenants and restrictions.
In connection with the execution of the Loan Amendment, St. Bernard issued warrants to SVB on January 25, 2008, which allows SVB to purchase up to 140,350 shares of St. Bernard common stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share. The warrants expire on the seventh anniversary of the issue date of the warrants. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt issue costs in the amount of $58,000, based on the estimated fair value allocated to the warrants using the following assumptions; 75.35% volatility, risk free interest rate of 3.61%, an expected life of seven years and no dividends. Amortization of the debt issuance costs for three months ended March 31, 2008, which is being recorded as interest expense, was approximately $7,000. Furthermore, St. Bernard has agreed to grant SVB certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.
Bridge Loan
On January 25, 2008, St. Bernard Software, Inc. entered into a Loan Agreement (the Agility Loan Agreement) with Agility Capital, LLC (Agility). Pursuant to the terms of the Agility Loan Agreement, Agility provided St. Bernard with a non-revolving term loan in the amount of $750,000, at a 15% fixed interest rate (the Loan). Beginning March 1, 2008, and on the first day of each month thereafter until July 1, 2008, St. Bernard is required to pay to Agility $25,000 plus accrued but unpaid interest. Beginning July 1, 2008, and on the first day of each month thereafter, St. Bernard is required to pay Agility $50,000 plus accrued interest. The Loan will mature on January 31, 2009 (the Maturity Date). Prior to the Maturity Date, St. Bernard may prepay the Loan without penalty. Pursuant to the Agility Loan Agreement, St. Bernard must pay Agility a one-time $25,000 origination fee and a monthly collateral management fee of $750. The obligations under the Agility Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of St. Bernard's assets. Pursuant to a Subordination Agreement between Agility and Silicon Valley Bank, the Loan and security interest held by Agility are subordinated to the loan and the security interest held by Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated May 11, 2007, as amended, between Silicon Valley Bank and St. Bernard.
The Agility Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and other restrictions. The affirmative covenants include, among others, the delivery of financial statements and tax returns to Agility and granting Agility access to view all of St. Bernard's accounts and upon request, such other information relating to St. Bernard's operations and conditions. St. Bernard has also agreed that without the consent of Agility, it shall refrain from activities such as engaging in a merger or acquisition or change of control, transferring assets, making investments, incurring indebtedness, paying dividends, repurchasing capital stock, or making any payments on St. Bernard's indebtedness that is subordinated to the obligations under the Agility Loan Agreement.
Additionally, the Agility Loan Agreement contains customary events of default including the following: nonpayment of principal or interest; the violation of an Agility Loan Agreement covenant; the occurrence of a material adverse change; the attachment of any portion of St. Bernard's assets; insolvency; material misrepresentations by St. Bernard; and the default by St. Bernard under any other loan agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by St. Bernard, the applicable interest rate shall become 5% above the rate that would otherwise be applicable and certain fees become payable. At March 31, 2008 the Company was in compliance with the above stated covenants and restrictions.
In connection with the execution of the Agility Loan Agreement, St. Bernard issued warrants to Agility (the Agility Warrants), which allows Agility to purchase up to 460,526 shares of St. Bernard common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.57 per share. The Agility Warrants expire on the seventh anniversary of their issue date. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $189,000 using the following assumptions; 75.35% volatility, risk free interest rate of 3.61%, an expected life of seven years and no dividends. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, the relative fair value of the warrants,
32
estimated to be approximately $151,000, was record as debt discount. Amortization of the debt discount for three months ended March 31, 2008, which is being recorded as interest expense, was approximately $25,000. The Agility Warrants contains anti-dilution protection in the event of a debt or equity financing, with respect to the exercise price and number of shares. Furthermore, St. Bernard granted Agility piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Agility Warrants. As of March 31, 2008, the balance on the bridge loan with Agility was approximately $725,000.
If St. Bernard ceases to do business or is dissolved or liquidated before payment in full of the Loan, it may owe Agility an exit fee equal to the greater of $250,000 or the amount Agility would have been entitled to receive had Agility exercised the Agility Warrants immediately before such transaction.
Losses from Operations Liquidity
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $0.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $11.2 million. Operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $0.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company reported a realized gain of $0.3 million from the release of the first half of funds from an indemnification escrow as a result of the sale of the Open File Manager line in the third quarter of 2007. The Company had a net loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
At March 31, 2008, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $11.2 million and we had a stockholders deficit of approximately $8.1 million. Our expenses consist primarily of expenses that can be modified to meet our operating needs should management deem that changes are necessary. In addition, approximately $9.6 million of our current liability balance at March 31, 2008 consists of deferred revenues, which represents amounts that will be amortized into revenue as they are earned.
The Company has a history of losses and has not been able to achieve profitability. The cumulative net loss was approximately $47.6 million and $47.2 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the Company made substantial changes to the cost structure of its business. These changes included the closure of its sales and marketing offices within Europe, reducing headcount to be in line with the current size of its business, renegotiating vendor contracts, and refocusing its marketing strategy around its core business. In addition to the changes described above, the Company also amended its line of credit with SVB and entered into a bridge financing agreement with Agility Capital, LLC in January 2008 for the amount of $750,000 with monthly payments commencing on March 1, 2008 and the balance maturing on January 31, 2009.
The Company believes that its existing cash resources, combined with projected billings/revenues for 2008, cost reductions implemented in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, and its line of credit and bridge financing completed in the first quarter of 2008, will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its continuing obligations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurances that projected revenue will be achieved or the improvement in operating results will occur. In the event cash flow from operations is not sufficient, the Company may require additional sources of financing in order to maintain its current operations. These additional sources of financing may include public or private offerings of equity or debt securities. Whereas management believes it will have access to these financing sources, no assurance can be given that such additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Except for the commitments arising from our operating lease arrangements, we have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial statements.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Companys ESPP was adopted by our board of directors in December 2006, and approved by our shareholders in June 2007 at the annual shareholders meeting. The ESPP provides a means by which employees of the Company (and any parent or subsidiary of the Company designated by the Board of Directors to participate in the ESPP) may be given an opportunity to purchase Common
33
Stock of the Company at semi-annual intervals through payroll deductions and to assist the Company in retaining the services of its employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company. The Company has 400,000 shares that have been initially reserved for issuance pursuant to purchase rights under the ESPP. A participant may contribute up to 15% of his or her compensation through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on the purchase date, which is the last trading day of the offering period. The purchase price per share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per share on the start date of the offering period in which the participant is enrolled or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value per share on the purchase date. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP may be increased annually on the first day of each Company fiscal year, beginning in 2008 and ending in (and including) 2016, by an amount equal to the least of: (i) the difference between four hundred thousand (400,000) and the number of shares remaining authorized for issuance after the last purchase of shares, (ii) four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of Common Stock, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors appointed to administer the ESPP. If rights granted under the ESPP expire, lapse or otherwise terminate without being exercised, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such rights again become available for issuance under the ESPP.
For the offering period of July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, approximately $6,000 was withheld from employee earnings for the stock purchases of 12,315 shares of Common Stock on January 2, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $8,000 has been withheld from employee earnings for stock purchases of Common Stock under the ESPP for the offering period of January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008. Compensation expense was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Asset Sale/Purchase and License Agreements
On January 29, 2007, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Sale and License Agreement signed and effective as of January 4, 2007, by and between the Company and Shavlik Technologies, LLC (Shavlik), St. Bernard assigned and sold to Shavlik St. Bernards UpdateEXPERT and UpdateEXPERT Premium software applications and related customer and end user license agreements, software, programming interfaces and other intellectual property rights and contracts for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 million plus 45% of any maintenance renewal fees collected by Shavlik in excess of $1.2 million for renewals invoiced by Shavlik between February 1, 2007 and January 31, 2008 (the Asset Sale). As a result of the sale, the Company realized a gain of approximately $70,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to the excess renewal fees collected by Shavlik.
On August 14, 2007, pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement signed and effective as of August 13, 2007 , by and between the Company and EVault, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Seagate Technology, Inc., (EVault), St. Bernard assigned and sold to EVault St. Bernards Open File Manager (the Product) software applications, which include all of the rights, title, and interest worldwide of St. Bernard in and to (i) the Product, (ii) the Assumed Contracts, (iii) the St. Bernard Materials, (iv) all St. Bernard Intellectual Property Rights, (v) all claims of St. Bernard against third parties relating to the Purchased Assets, whether choate or inchoate, known or unknown, contingent or noncontingent, (vi) all data and information that is collected from, or on behalf of, customers of St. Bernard who are party to the Assumed Contracts (the Customer Base), the OEM Partners and any Lead, including to the extent that receipt of such information would not violate any applicable Law, (vii) all routing and billing information and components used in connection with the Assumed Contracts, and (viii) all other tangible or intangible assets of St. Bernard used in the Business and necessary for the operation or use of the Product for an aggregate purchase price of $6.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company realized a gain of $250,000 as payment of the first part of the Holdback Amount by EVault in satisfaction of Article 8 of the signed agreement between EVault and St. Bernard Software.
Forward-Looking Statements
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control.
34
Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements that can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, expect, anticipate, predict, believe, plan, estimate or continue or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The actual results of the future events described in such forward-looking statements in this interim report could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements due to various factors, including but not limited to, the fact that we derive a majority of our license revenue from sales of a few product lines, our ability to manage our direct sales and OEM distribution channels effectively, our ability to successfully promote awareness of the need for our products and of our brand, risks associated with the IT security industry and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to those risks is the risk that we may not be successful in our efforts to integrate acquisitions. Our failure to manage risks associated with acquisitions could harm the business. A component of our business strategy is to enter new markets and to expand our presence in existing markets by acquiring complementary technologies that allow us to increase our product offerings, augment our distribution channels, expand our market opportunities or broaden our customer base. For example, we acquired Singlefin in October 2006. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:
| diversion of managements attention; |
| difficulty in integrating and absorbing the acquired business and its employees, corporate culture, managerial systems and processes, technology, products and services; |
| failure to retain key personnel and employee turnover; |
| challenges in retaining customers of the acquired business, and customer dissatisfaction or performance problems with the acquired firm; |
| developing products or services that meet our customers needs; |
| assumption of unknown liabilities; |
| dilutive issuances of securities or use of debt or limited cash; |
| incremental amortization expenses related to acquired intangible assets, as well as potential future impairment charges to goodwill or intangible assets; and |
| other unanticipated events or circumstances. |
The foregoing discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q.
All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to any of us, or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
Item 4(T). | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (and Acting Chief Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon 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.
Based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer (and Acting Chief Financial Officer) has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally named as a defendant in various lawsuits. On March 14, 2007, a stockholder filed an action against the Company seeking money damages in the San Diego Superior Court for the County of San Diego, asserting claims of intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and negligence. The Company has appealed the Superior Court's denial of its motion to compel arbitration, which is currently pending. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests in this matter and expects that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, due to the uncertainties in litigation, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these proceedings.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
