ZIX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Zix Corporation (ZixCorp or
the Company) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Companys 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. These financial
statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose
of providing information with respect to the interim periods. Management of the Company believes
that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for such periods have been included and are
of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Company Overview and Liquidity
As of January 1, 2006, the Company operates two reporting segments, Email Encryption and
e-Prescribing, which provide services that protect, manage and deliver sensitive electronic
information and provide electronic prescribing at the point of care.
Email Encryption is a comprehensive suite of secure messaging services, which allows an
enterprise to use policy driven rules to determine which emails need to be sent securely in order
to comply with regulations or corporate policy. Email Encryption is commonly referred to as Secure
Messaging. e-Prescribing consists of a single product line named PocketScript. PocketScript is an
electronic prescribing service that allows physicians to use a handheld device to prescribe drugs
and transmit the prescription electronically to any pharmacy. During the prescribing process, the
physician is provided with real-time information such as insurance formulary and drug interactions
that normally would not be available in a paper prescription format. This allows the physician to
leverage technology for better patient care at the point of delivery. The Companys Email
Encryption service is primarily offered as a hosted-service solution, whereby customers pay an
annual service subscription. The e-Prescribing service is also offered as a hosted-service
solution, however, the end-users set-up costs and initial service period are typically paid by a
sponsoring health benefits insurance provider (a payor). Both Email Encryption and e-Prescribing
services require a significant up-front investment to establish service and secure enough
subscribers to make the businesses profitable.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company was operated and managed as a single reporting segment.
Company History
In 1999, the Company began developing and marketing Secure Messaging products and services
that brought privacy, security and convenience to Internet users. ZixMail, a desktop solution for
encrypting and securely delivering email, was first commercially introduced in the first quarter of
2001. In 2002, the Company began offering additional email encryption products such as:
|
|
|
ZixVPM (Virtual Private Messenger): an e-messaging gateway service that
provides company-wide privacy protection for inbound and outbound email communications. |
|
|
|
|
ZixAuditor: an assessment service used to analyze email traffic patterns and
monitor compliance with corporate and regulatory policies. |
|
|
|
|
ZixPort: a secure Web-messaging portal. |
In July 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and the business
of PocketScript, LLC (PocketScript), a privately-held development stage enterprise that provided
electronic prescription services for the healthcare industry. This acquisition enabled the Company
to expand its services into healthcare delivery solutions, specifically, the e-Prescribing
marketplace. PocketScript is the cornerstone offering in the current e-Prescribing product segment.
In September 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and the
business of Elron Software, Inc. (Elron Software or Elron), a majority-owned subsidiary of
Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. and a provider of anti-spam, email content filtering and Web
filtering solutions, which enhanced the Companys Secure Messaging product segment.
1
In January 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and the
business of MyDocOnline, Inc. (MyDocOnline), a subsidiary of Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the
North American pharmaceuticals business of Aventis SA.
MyDocOnline offered a variety of Internet-based healthcare services and was a provider of secure
Web-based communications, disease management, online doctor visits, and laboratory information
solutions.
Also in 2004, Secure Messaging was combined with the Elron products (Message Inspector and Web
Inspector or MI/WI) and referred to as the eSecure product line and e-Prescribing was combined
with the MyDocOnLine product (Dr. Chart) and referred to as the eHealth product line.
In late 2004, the Company made a strategic decision to focus the Companys resources and
efforts towards the two core products of the Secure Messaging and e-Prescribing. Subsequently, on
November 4, 2004, the Company announced that it was terminating the Connect service for online
doctor visits, which was one of the products acquired in the MyDocOnline acquisition.
On March 11, 2005, MI/WI product lines, which were acquired in the Elron acquisition, were
sold to CyberGuard (see Note 7).
On September 30, 2005, the Company sold the remaining MyDocOnline product (Dr. Chart) to MITEM
(see Note 7).
In early 2006, the eSecure product line was renamed Email Encryption and the eHealth product
line was renamed e-Prescribing to reflect the single product focus in these two remaining core
product lines.
Due to the Companys history of operating with spending in excess of customer receipts,
liquidity is of special importance. To date, the Companys cash flow from operations has not been
sufficient to fund the Companys on-going operations and the Company has relied on equity and debt
financings to fund its operations. Essential to liquidity is the ability of the Company to achieve
and retain subscriber bases in both core product offerings to overcome the costs of offering the
service and become cash flow positive.
The Company announced in the second quarter of 2006 that it was in the process of reducing its
quarterly spending by way of a reduction in workforce and reductions in non-headcount related
areas. On August 8, 2006, the Company announced that the targeted cost reductions would be
increased to equal approximately a 25% reduction in quarterly spending when compared with the first
quarter of 2006. The purpose of these reductions is to streamline the Companys operating costs in
order to strengthen the Companys liquidity position by more closely matching its cost structure to
near-term revenue opportunities. As of November 1, 2006, the Company has substantially completed
the headcount reductions.
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded
one-time termination expenses of $295,000 and $640,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2006,
$79,000 was accrued and is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2006. The total one-time
termination expense was recorded to the following line items of the Companys condensed
consolidated statement of operations.

Based on the Companys size after the cost reduction actions taken in 2006 and current order
and deployment rates as of September 30, 2006, the operating spending plus capital asset purchases
for the next twelve months is projected to be $33,000,000 to $34,000,000. Payment of the note
payable to Aventis in cash (see Note 12), should the Company choose to pay the note in cash versus
2
payment in the Companys common stock as allowed in the note, would increase these projected
spending amounts. Using flat year-on-year order rates for Email Encryption, progressive
improvements from Email Encryption channels, consistent renewal rates for subscribers, an
expectation of cash flow from Payors with whom the Company has a current relationship, and modest
success in new Payor Sponsorships as well as selling the Companys Payor Services, cash receipt
projections for the next twelve months are projected to be $26,750,000 to $28,000,000. These cash
receipt projections, when combined with $14,842,000 unrestricted cash on hand at September 30, 2006
provide for an estimated $41,592,000 to $42,842,000 in cash available to fund the expected
operational spending of $33,000,000 to $34,000,000 for the next twelve months.
The Company believes it has adequate resources and liquidity to sustain operations for at
least the next twelve months and is targeting cash flow improvements through increased cash
receipts to augment its liquidity beyond that time. The Companys belief takes into account the
following factors: completion of the recently announced reduction in workforce, relatively low
contractual spending commitments over the next twelve months, historically high renewal rates for
Email Encryption, continued additions of new customers in the Email Encryption business consistent
with levels experienced during the past twelve months, the discretionary nature of the cash
spending in excess of cash receipts in the emerging area of e-Prescribing and the general
flexibility overall Company spending.
As contractual cash collections and expected increases in cash sources are not always certain,
the Company has some ability to adjust cash spending to react to any shortfalls in actual cash
collections or to adjust spending in certain investment areas should cash receipts make that
possible or, if warranted and if the terms are acceptable, with additional external financing,
receipts from exercised stock options and warrants of the Companys common stock or strategic
partnerships. However, operating in emerging and developing markets involves risk and
uncertainties, and there are no assurances that the Company will ultimately achieve or achieve in a
timely manner its targeted improvements in operating performance. Beyond the twelve months
beginning October 1, 2006, and should business results not improve sufficiently as projected, the
Company could have to alter its business plan or further augment its cash flow position through
cost reduction measures, sales of assets, additional financings or a combination of these actions.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in carrying out any of
these measures should they become necessary. The Company has expressed a lack of willingness,
relative to other alternatives, to raise capital by issuing new shares of common stock given the
current price of the Companys common stock. Accordingly, the extent and timing of success, or lack
thereof, in the e-Prescribing market and continued performance in Email Encryption will ultimately
be the most significant operational determinants of liquidity.
3. Revenue and Significant Customers
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, as promulgated by Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With respect
to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables, and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, and other related pronouncements.
The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports electronic information protection
services and related software products. The Companys services can be placed into several key
revenue categories where each category has similar revenue recognition traits: Email Encryption
subscription-based services, e-Prescribing service, various transaction fees and related
professional services. A majority of the revenues generated by the Company are through direct
sales; however, for Email Encryption services the Company employs a network of distributors and
resellers. Under all product categories and distribution models, the Company recognizes revenue
after all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is
reasonably assured. In the event the arrangement has multiple elements with delivered and
undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered elements are recognized under the residual method
only when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) exists to allocate the fair value
of the total fees to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. Occasionally, when ZixCorp is
engaged in a complex product deployment, customer acceptance may have to occur before the
transaction is considered complete. In this situation no revenue is recognized until the customer
accepts the product. Discounts provided to customers are recorded as reductions in revenue.
The Email Encryption services of ZixMail, ZixVPM, ZixPort, and ZixDirect are
subscription-based services. In the first nine months of 2005, subscription-based services also
included Dr. Chart. Providing these services includes delivering licensed software and providing
secure electronic communications and customer support throughout the subscription period. In the
case of ZixVPM, typically, as part of the service, an appliance with pre-installed software is
installed at the customer site at the beginning of the subscription period. In a subscription
service, the customer does not own a perpetual right to a software license, but is instead granted
the use of that license during the period of the service subscription. Subscriptions are generally
multiple-year contracts that are
3
irrevocable and non-refundable in nature and require annual, up-front payments. The
subscription period begins on the date specified by the parties or when the service is fully
functional for the customer which is consequently deemed to be the date of acceptance. Revenues
from subscription services are recorded as service revenue as the services are rendered from the
date of acceptance over the subscription period. Subscription fees received from customers in
advance are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the subscription
period.
On September 30, 2005, the Dr. Chart product line was sold to MITEM. This product line was
acquired in January 2004 through the acquisition of MyDocOnline, Inc. For the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005, Dr. Chart product line contributed $135,000 and $330,000 in
revenue, respectively (see Note 7).
e-Prescribing service arrangements contain multiple deliverables including both hardware and
services. Due to the lack of VSOE, these elements are combined into a single unit of accounting
and, similar to Email Encryption, recognized as service revenue ratably over the longer of the
subscription term or expected renewal period. Revenue recognition begins upon installation of the
required hardware and commencement of service. Prior to the third quarter 2005, the Company did
maintain VSOE for certain service elements of the e-Prescribing service. Accordingly, the residual
value assigned to the PocketScript handheld device was recognized as revenue upon installation. The
fair value of the undelivered services are being recognized ratably over the period in which those
services are delivered.
In the first quarter 2005, the Company sold anti-spam filtering, email content filtering, and
Web filtering solutions under the MI/WI product lines to customers under perpetual licensing
arrangements. These perpetual software licenses were normally sold as part of multiple-element
arrangements that included annual maintenance and/or subscription, and may have included
implementation or training services. Evidence of VSOE for implementation and training services
associated with the anti-spam, email content filtering and Web filtering arrangements was based
upon standard billing rates and the estimated level of effort for the individuals expected to
perform the related services. Installation and training revenues were recognized as the services
were rendered. The Company established VSOE for maintenance based upon maintenance that was sold
separately. Maintenance revenue was recognized over the term of the maintenance agreement,
generally one year.
On March 11, 2005, the MI/WI product lines were sold to CyberGuard. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, MI/WI contributed $646,000 in revenue. The product lines contributed no
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 (see Note 7).
Some of the Companys services incorporate a transaction fee per event occurrence or when
predetermined usage levels have been reached. These fees are recognized as revenue when the
transaction occurs or when the predetermined usage levels have been achieved, and when the amounts
are fixed and determinable.
The Company does not offer standalone professional services. Further, the Companys services
include various warranty provisions; however, warranty expense was not material to any period
presented.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
Massachusetts, Inc., an e-Prescribing customer, accounted for approximately 12% ($545,000) and 13%
($465,000) of total revenues, respectively. No other single customer accounted for 10% or more of
the Companys total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Inc. accounted for approximately 10% ($1,329,000) and 18% ($1,850,000) of total
revenues, respectively. No other single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Companys total
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
4. Segment Information
As of January 1, 2006, the Company began to manage its business in two reportable segments:
Email Encryption and e-Prescribing as discussed in Note 2.
The Companys Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decisions maker (CODM) in
assessing the performance of each segment and determining the related allocation of resources.
To determine the allocation of resources the CODM generally assesses the performance of each
segment based on revenue, gross margin, and direct expenses which include research and development
expenses and selling and marketing expenses that are directly attributable to the segments. Most
assets and most corporate costs are not allocated to the segments and are not used to determine
4
resource allocation. Any transactions that are considered a one-time occurrence or not likely
to be repeated in future periods are excluded from the CODMs assessments. The accounting policies
of the reportable segments are the same as those applied to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Corporate includes charges such as corporate management, compliance and other
non-operational activities that cannot be directly attributed to a reporting segment. In addition,
Corporate also includes the revenues and direct costs of products that have been sold or otherwise
discontinued by the Company. In 2005, the Company sold two product lines: MI/WI and Dr. Chart (see
Note 7). These products contributed $135,000 and $976,000 of revenue in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005, respectively.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company was operated and managed as a single reporting unit.
Amounts shown below for any period prior to January 1, 2006, are estimations prepared for
comparative purposes only.

exercised.
Employee and Director Stock Option Plans
The Company has non-qualified stock options outstanding to employees, directors, and third
parties under various stock option plans. The exercise price of options granted under these plans
are generally not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and, subject to termination
of employment, generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Employee options generally vest
in installments over three years. Option grants to employees, officers and directors frequently
contain accelerated vesting provisions upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in
the applicable option agreements. At September 30, 2006, 2,491,702 shares of common stock were
available for future grants under the Companys stock option plans.

common stock at an exercise price of $10.80 per share. These options vested 25% in April 2004 and
the remaining balance vests quarterly through January 2007 on a pro rata basis. The options
automatically vest 100% in the event of a change in control of the Company. At September 30, 2006,
all 650,000 options were still outstanding. Mr. Spurr was appointed Chief Executive Officer in
March 2005, and Chairman of the Board in February 2006.

Other Executive Stock Option Agreements - In 2001 and 2002, options to purchase 450,000 shares
of common stock were granted to key Company executives, which became fully vested in March 2005. At
September 30, 2006, 125,000 options remain outstanding with an exercise price of $5.25 per share.
Other Stock Option Agreements:
From time to time the Company may grant stock options to consultants, contractors and other
third parties for services provided to the Company. These options are expensed based on their fair
values as calculated by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSOPM). At September 30,
2006, options outstanding to non-employees were 285,000, of which 215,000 were granted from
employee or director stock option plans and the remaining 70,000 issued under other stock option
agreements.
Accounting Treatment
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, and has elected
to use the modified prospective method, which requires the application of the accounting standard
to all share-based awards issued on or after January 1, 2006 and any outstanding share-based awards
that were issued but not vested as of January 1, 2006. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated
financial statements as of September 30, 2005, and for the three and nine months then ended have
not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the adoption of FAS 123(R) resulted in
incremental stock-based compensation expense of $568,000 and $2,008,000, respectively. This amount
includes (i) compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006, but
not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the pro-forma provisions of SFAS 123, and (ii) compensation expense for stock options granted
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). The incremental stock-based compensation expense caused loss before
taxes and net loss to increase by $568,000 and $2,008,000 and the basic and diluted net loss per
share to increase by $0.01 and $0.04 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the total stock-based compensation
expense was recorded to the following line items of the Companys condensed consolidated statement
of operations:

There were no stock option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2006; therefore,
no excess tax benefits were recorded. A deferred tax asset totaling $763,000, resulting from
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the first nine months of 2006, was recorded and
$719,000 of that total, which relates to stock option compensation costs for U.S. employees, was
fully reserved as of September 30, 2006, because of the Companys historical net losses for its
United States operations. The difference of $44,000, which relates to stock option compensation
costs for Canadian employees, was recognized as an income tax benefit in the statement of
operations for the period.
SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to calculate the pool of excess tax benefits, or the
additional paid-in capital (APIC) pool, available as of January 1, 2006, to absorb tax
deficiencies recognized in subsequent periods, assuming the Company had applied the provisions of
the standard in prior periods. Pursuant to the provisions of FASB Staff Position 123R-3, Transition
Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards, the Company
adopted the alternative method for determining the tax effects of share-based compensation, which
among other things, provides a simplified method for estimating the beginning APIC pool balance.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company applied Accounting Principles Board (APB)
No. 25 to account for its stock-based awards. The following table details the effect on the
Companys net loss and loss per common share had compensation expense for employee stock-based
awards been recorded in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, based on the
fair value method under SFAS 123(R):

During the first quarter of 2006 and with shareholder approval, the Company extended the
contract life of 306,143 options held by one former director. As a result of this modification, the
Company recognized an additional compensation expense of $34,000 in the period.
As of September 30, 2006, there was $2,409,000 of total unrecognized stock based compensation
related to non-vested share-based compensation awards granted under the stock option plans. This
cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.10 years.
The Company used the BSOPM to determine the fair value of option grants made during the first
three quarters of 2006 and 2005. The Company estimated the average holding period of vested options
to be two years from the vesting period (1.6 1.8 years) for options granted before 2006, but used
the simplified method per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share Based Payment, to
calculate the estimated life of options granted to employees subsequent to December 31, 2005. The
expected stock price volatility was calculated by averaging the historical volatility of the
Companys common stock over a term equal to the expected life of the options. The following
weighted average assumptions were applied in determining the fair value of options granted during
the respective periods:

At September 30, 2006, the Company had no stock options outstanding in which the exercise
price was lower than the market value of the Companys common stock. Therefore, the intrinsic value
is zero on all options.
The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006, was $0.57 and $1.22, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair
value of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $2.04 and
$2.43, respectively. A significant factor in the difference between the 2006 and 2005 valuations is
the Companys 2006 practice of granting options with exercise prices in excess of the market price
of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The total intrinsic value of options exercised
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and 2005, was not material in either
period.

Common Stock Issued in Lieu of Cash
In the third quarter of 2003, the Company implemented a program whereby non-executive
employees were paid certain incentive compensation, such as commissions, with Company common stock
rather than cash. This program was authorized to grant 600,000 shares in-lieu of compensation. In
May 2005, shareholders approved an additional 500,000 shares for this program, which was expanded
to include executive incentive pay as well. In June 2006, shareholders approved an additional
500,000 shares for this program bringing the total to 1,600,000 shares. At September 30, 2006, a
total of 980,328 shares of common stock had been granted under the program. During the three months
ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted no unrestricted shares of common stock under this
program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the Company granted 103,459 shares of common
stock under this program. The common stock granted under this program had a weighted average fair
value of $1.78 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company valued this
stock at the fair value on the date of grant. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, the Company incurred non-cash expense relating to common stock issue in lieu of cash
consisting of the following:

7. Business Sales and Acquisitions
Sale of Dr. Chart, a product of MyDocOnline
On September 30, 2005, the Company sold the remaining MyDocOnline product (Dr. Chart) to
MITEM. As consideration, the Company received $150,000 in cash paid immediately after closing, a
promissory note with a principal amount of $550,000 payable by mid-August 2007, and a warrant
exercisable for 400,000 shares of MITEM common stock. Additionally, subject to the conditions and
limitations provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement, MITEM assumed all Dr. Chart customer
contracts and obligations upon close of the sale, including net deferred revenues of approximately
$739,000. Subsequent to the closing of the transaction, the promissory note was adjusted to a
principal amount of $540,000 pursuant to the terms of the sales agreement. The note principal was
due in six equal quarterly payments of $90,000 beginning May 15, 2006, and bore interest at a rate
of 10% per annum. The promissory note was recorded as a note receivable and fully reserved at the
time of the sale as the notes collectability was not assured and no value was assigned to the
warrants received.
In September 2006, MITEM and Zix Corporation restructured the note receivable. The
restructured note includes monthly payments, inclusive of interest, of $25,000 through December
2006. The monthly payments increase to $30,000 in 2007 and the final
monthly installment is $140,000 in January 2008. The interest rate is unchanged at 10% and
the restructured note receivable remains fully reserved.
9
MITEM paid the required September 2006 payment of $25,000 and the Company recognized a gain on
the payment of $11,000 as the note was fully reserved. The gain was recorded as a gain on the sale
of the product line and reduced the overall loss on the sale of Dr. Chart to $4,740,000. Future
gains will be recorded if MITEM continues to make their monthly payments.
The following summarizes the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that were sold to or
assumed by MITEM upon the close of the transaction, the allocation of the goodwill to the Dr. Chart
product, and resulting loss from the sale:

Revenues for the Dr. Chart product line were $135,000 and $330,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005. Dr. Chart did not represent a separate component of the Company as
its operations and cash flows were not sufficiently separated from the rest of the Company;
consequently, its results of operations are included in the Companys consolidated statements of
operations for the respective periods.
The Company also agreed to provide customary indemnification to MITEM for breaches of
representations and warranties, covenants and other specified matters. The Company has evaluated
this indemnification and determined that no accrual is necessary.
Sale of Web Inspector and Message Inspector Product Lines
On March 11, 2005, the Web Inspector and Message Inspector product lines, which were acquired
in the Elron acquisition, were sold to CyberGuard Corporation for $3,244,000 net of transactions
fees of $317,000, consisting of $2,126,000 in cash and a $1,500,000 note receivable with no stated
interest rate. The note receivable was recorded at its present value of $1,435,000 using an imputed
interest rate of 9%. This is estimated to approximate the rate which would have resulted if an
independent borrower and an independent lender had negotiated a similar transaction under
comparable terms and conditions. The resulting discount was amortized into interest income over the
term of the note. CyberGuard paid the note in full in 2005.
The following summarizes the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that were sold to or
assumed by CyberGuard upon the close of the transaction, the allocation of the goodwill associated
with the portion of the email encryption reporting unit being sold, and the resulting gain from the

On the initial sales of the MI/WI product lines a gain of $950,000 was recognized in the
quarter ended June 30, 2005. However, in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company agreed
to transfer an additional $85,000 of deferred revenue to CyberGuard resulting in a total gain on
the sale of MI/WI of $1,035,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Revenues for the MI/WI product lines were $646,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. MI/WI did not represent a separate component of the Company as its operations and cash flows
were not sufficiently separated from the rest of the Company; consequently, its results of
operations are included in the Companys consolidated statements of operations for the respective
periods.
The Company also agreed to provide customary indemnification to CyberGuard for breaches of
representations and warranties, covenants and other specified matters. The Company has evaluated
this indemnification and determined that no accrual is necessary.
8. Restricted Cash
Current and noncurrent restricted cash of $5,135,000 at December 31, 2005, relates primarily
to a debt covenant on the convertible promissory note payable requiring the Company to maintain a
minimum of $5,000,000 on deposit. This note was retired in June 2006 using the restricted cash
balance (see Note 12). The remaining noncurrent restricted cash balance at September 30, 2006, of
$35,000 relates to a Letter of Credit given as a security deposit on one of the Companys office
leases.

The above Billed but unpaid portion of deferred revenue is a reduction for future customer
service or maintenance obligations which are invoiced but unpaid as of the respective balance sheet
dates. Deferred revenue in current and long-term liabilities represents future customer service or
maintenance obligations which have been billed and collected as of the respective balance sheet
dates.
No single customer accounted for 10% or more of gross trade accounts receivable at September
30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
10. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
At September 30, 2006, the Companys intangible assets, all of which are subject to
amortization, were comprised of developed technology, which resulted from the third quarter 2003
acquisition of PocketScript.

The weighted average useful life for developed technology is three years as of September 30,
2006 and 2005. Amortization expense relating to intangible assets totaled $106,000 and $466,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $288,000 and $1,020,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

At September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the Company had recorded goodwill totaling
$2,161,000 which was originally recorded with the acquisition of Elron Software in the third
quarter 2003 and is assigned to the Email Encryption segment. Goodwill of $2,161,000 was included
in the carrying value of assets sold to CyberGuard in the sale of the Message Inspector and Web
Inspector product lines (see Note 7). Goodwill of $4,797,000 was included in the carrying value of
assets sold to MITEM in the sale of the MyDocOnline product line (see Note 7). The Company
evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or when there is reason to
believe that the value has been diminished or impaired. There has been no impairment indicators to
the goodwill recorded as of September 30, 2006.
11. Customer Deposit
A Master Services Agreement was entered into with Sanofi-Aventis, Inc. (Sanofi-Aventis) for
$4,000,000 in January 2004 for the Companys performance of various future services in conjunction
with the MyDocOnline acquisition. The services were to be delivered in minimum amounts of
$1,000,000, $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 prior to April 11, 2005, January 30, 2006, and January 30,
2007, respectively. The services will be defined on an ongoing basis over the life of the agreement
and valued in accordance with pricing for similar services rendered by the Company to other
customers. Sanofi-Aventis paid the $4,000,000 upon execution of the Master Services Agreement.
Since the Companys services to be provided to Sanofi-Aventis were not fully defined, the
$4,000,000 payment was recorded as a customer deposit. As the services are defined and priced in
individual project agreements, the value of the defined element will be reclassified to deferred
revenues and then recognized as revenue in accordance with applicable revenue recognition criteria.
If the services are not requested by Sanofi-Aventis by the dates outlined above, the deposit will
be forfeited on an annual basis and ZixCorp will recognize the forfeiture as a reduction of
operating expenses. The Company is required to return to Sanofi-Aventis any unused portion of the
deposit only in the event of material breach of the contract by the Company; in the event the
Company or a party employed or engaged by the Company is debarred pursuant to the Generic Drug
Enforcement Act of 1992 or similar state, local or foreign law; in the event the Company files for
bankruptcy; or in the event of force majeure. The Company believes that it is unlikely any of these
events will occur. The Companys obligations associated with the Master Services Agreement are
secured by a first priority lien on the Companys property and equipment and accounts receivable.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has provided $40,000 of services to Sanofi-Aventis under this
Master Services Agreement which was recognized as revenue in 2004.
Sanofi-Aventis has not requested any additional services through September 30, 2006, other
than the $40,000 noted above. As such, $960,000 was forfeited by Sanofi-Aventis in the second
quarter of 2005 and an additional $1,000,000 was forfeited in the first quarter of 2006. Both
forfeitures are reported as customer deposit forfeitures and reduced non-cash operating expenses in
the respective quarters. The Company believes that the forfeitures of deposit are most likely
associated with a change in strategic direction that came about as a result of the merger between
Sanofi and Aventis and the resulting change in personnel. The eventual disposition of the remaining
customer deposit, $2,000,000 required to be used before January 30, 2007, is not known at this
time.

Convertible Promissory Notes Payable
On November 2, 2004, the Company entered into purchase agreements with Omicron Master Trust
(Omicron) and Amulet Limited (Amulet, together with Omicron, the Investors), in which the
Company issued and sold to the Investors $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of secured,
convertible notes and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an
exercise price of $6.00 a share. The warrants are all exercisable and expire November 2, 2009. At
the time the notes were issued, the Companys common stock had a fair value of $4.88 per share.
The Company incurred approximately $1,598,000 of financing costs associated with the original
issuance of the convertible notes payable. This amount was deferred and amortized over the life of
the notes using the effective interest method.
In April 2005, the Company entered into amendments with the Investors to restructure the
original purchase agreements signed in November 2004.
Accounting treatment of the amended convertible promissory notes payable - The amended
convertible promissory notes payable were valued by an independent third party who reassessed the
value of the 1,000,000 initial warrants issued with the notes at $2,225,000 using a binomial model
calculation.
The Company accounted for the notes and related warrants using the provisions of EITF Issue
No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a
Companys Own Stock and APB No. 14 Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock
Purchase Warrants. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19 the notes were recorded as a liability as
they do not meet the requirements of being accounted for as equity. Under the provisions of APB No.
14, the proceeds received from the notes were allocated between the notes and the warrants based on
their relative fair values at the time of issuance. Based on relative fair values at the time the
notes were amended, the total discount on the convertible notes payable as of April 2005, was
$2,086,000. This balance was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over
the then-remaining term of the notes.
The amended notes also contained a beneficial conversion feature resulting from the stock
redemption being valued at the daily volume weighted average price less 10%. Per EITF Issue No.
98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features of Contingently
Adjustable Conversion Features and EITF Issue No. 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain
Convertible Instruments, the beneficial conversion feature is valued using the intrinsic value
method based on the net book value of the amended notes after all discounts are taken into effect.
Using this approach, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated to be
$2,518,000. This amount was allocated to the discount against the notes and additional paid-in
capital in 2005. This balance was fully amortized to interest expense using the effective interest
method through December 31, 2005, the date of the last payment to which the beneficial conversion
feature was applicable.
The Company incurred approximately $287,000 of costs in relation to the amendments to the
convertible promissory notes. These costs were recorded as a period expense in the first quarter of
2005. However, the remaining unamortized balance of the financing costs incurred in relation to the
issuance of the initial notes on November 2, 2004, continued to be reported as a deferred financing
cost asset and amortized over the then-remaining life of the amended notes using the effective
interest method.
2005 payment activity on the convertible promissory notes payable: Through a series of
transactions beginning in May 2005, the Company made all required note payments ($10,000,000) using
a combination of common stock ($8,409,000) and cash ($1,951,000). In accordance with the terms of
the amended agreement, the Company issued 145,032 warrants equaling 70% of the common stock that
would be issued to the investor to retire that portion of the principal paid in cash at $5.38 per
share. These warrants were valued at $47,000 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
On December 30, 2005, the Company transacted an early extinguishment of 50% of the remaining
outstanding balance of the convertible promissory notes payable ($5,000,000). As part of the
partial debt extinguishment the Company paid the 5% early payment premium and all accrued interest.
Additionally, per the amended terms of the notes, 650,558 warrants were issued equaling 70% of the
common stock that would be issued to the investor to retire that portion of the principal paid in
cash at $5.38 per share. These warrants were valued at $100,000 using the BSOPM.
13
After all payments were made on the convertible promissory notes payable, the principal
balance of the remaining note was $5,000,000, excluding any unamortized discounts, as of December
31, 2005.
2005 and first quarter 2006 adjustments to the stock conversion price and warrant exercise
price The amended convertible promissory notes payable had certain weighted average anti-dilution
clauses that adjust the debt conversion and warrant exercise price if the Company issued common
stock below $6.00 per share. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company raised net proceeds of
$24,201,000 through a private placement of common stock. As a result of this action, the number of
warrants originally granted under the convertible promissory notes on November 2, 2004, increased
from 1,000,000 to 1,115,244 and the exercise price of those warrants decreased from $6.00 per share
to $5.38 per share. The conversion price of the convertible promissory note payable was also
adjusted from $6.00 per share to $5.38 per share. The 115,244 additional warrants were valued at
$153,000 using the BSOPM and recorded as additional discount on the convertible promissory note
payable in 2005.
In the first quarter 2006, the Company issued under the anti-dilution clauses of the amended
notes an additional 51,053 warrants valued at $50,000 using the BSOPM and the exercise price on the
warrants declined from $5.38 to $5.24. This action also caused the conversion price on the existing
note payable to decrease from $5.38 to $5.24. Of the $50,000 value of the warrants, $10,000 was
recorded as interest expense as 21,257 of the warrants related to 2005 payment activity. The
remaining $40,000 was recorded as additional discount on the convertible promissory note, interest
expense and additional paid-in capital.
Of the 51,053 additional warrants issued in the first quarter of 2006, 12,550 were allocated
to the various warrant tranches that were re-priced during 2005 based on the terms of the amended
notes.
Second
quarter 2006 convertible promissory note payable and related warrant activity As
discussed further in Note 13, in April 2006, the Company issued 9,930,000 shares of its common
stock and 5,958,000 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock to various investors in a
private placement transaction. Additional warrants for the purchase of 198,600 shares of common
stock were issued to the underwriters of the private placement. The private placement had the
following impacts on the warrants relating to the convertible promissory notes payable:
|
|
|
Per anti-dilution terms included in the amended convertible promissory notes
payable, the Company issued additional warrants to purchases 264,718 shares of common
stock. These warrants expire on the following schedule: 22% in November 2006 and 2007,
10% in November 2008 and 46% in November 2009. The additional warrants were valued at
$74,000 using the BSOPM and recorded as discount against the outstanding note and
amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. |
|
|
|
|
The exercise prices of the warrants relating to the convertible promissory
notes payable were reduced from a range of $1.44 to $5.24 to a range of $1.42 to $4.47. |
|
|
|
|
The conversion price of the outstanding convertible promissory notes payable
was reduced from $5.24 per share to $4.47 per share. The reduced conversion price
caused the Company to record the intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature as
the adjusted conversion price was reset to a price below the market price of the
Companys stock on the date the notes were originally issued (November 2, 2004). The
intrinsic value of the adjusted conversion price is $459,000 and was recorded as
additional discount on the remaining convertible promissory note payable and was
amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. |
On June 23, 2006, the Company and the remaining note holder agreed on terms for early
extinguishment of the remaining $5,000,000 convertible promissory note payable. Based on the terms
of the early extinguishment agreement the following actions were taken:
|
|
|
The Company retired the full $5,000,000 using restricted cash and paid a
$200,000 early payment premium plus accrued interest for a total payoff amount of
$5,259,000. |
|
|
|
|
In accordance with the terms of the note, the Company issued warrants to the
note holder to purchase an additional 782,998 shares of common stock at $4.47 per
share. 50% of these warrants expire in November 2006 and 50% expire in November 2007.
These warrants were valued at $6,000 using the BSOPM. |
14
Upon repayment of the convertible promissory note payable the Company wrote-off all
unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs against the loss on extinguishment of debt. The
total loss on extinguishment of debt was $871,000 and consisted of the following:
|
|

The unamortized portion of the beneficial conversion feature recorded as a result of the April
2006 private placement of common stock was $365,000 on June 23, 2006. As the beneficial conversion
feature could no longer be exercised at the time the convertible promissory note was repaid, the
remaining $365,000 balance was reversed out of additional paid-in capital and discount on notes
payable.

Of the total warrants related to the convertible promissory notes payable, 782,998 expire
in November 2006, 782,998 expire in November 2007, 174,558 expire in November 2008 and the
remainder expire in November 2009.
Effective
yield and interest expense After all discounts, stated interest, payment premiums,
issuance of warrants, beneficial conversion features and financing costs are taken into account,
the effective yield on the amended convertible notes payable is 28.30%. The effective yield
increases to 37.41% when the loss on early extinguishment of debt, recorded in 2005 and 2006, is
included in the calculation. The total interest expense relating to the convertible promissory
notes payable is $671,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and includes the stated
interest expense, discount amortization, premium accretion, issuance of warrants and deferred
financing cost amortization. The Company incurred no interest expense relating to the convertible
promissory notes payable during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The total interest
expense relating to the convertible promissory notes payable for the corresponding three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005 was $2,098,000 and $4,715,000, respectively.
Promissory Note Payable
Concurrent with the MyDocOnline acquisition on January 30, 2004, Sanofi-Aventis, SA loaned the
Company $3,000,000 due March 15, 2007, with a stated interest rate of 4.5%. The loan is evidenced
by a promissory note and secured by the Companys property and equipment and accounts receivable
pursuant to a security agreement. Interest on the note is payable only in services provided by the
Company to Sanofi-Aventis unless there is an event of default. The principal portion of the note is
payable in either cash or shares of the Companys common stock, based on the then current value of
such shares, at the option of the Company and may be prepaid by the Company at any time without
penalty. Additionally, at Sanofi-Aventis discretion and after the $4,000,000 customer deposit from
Sanofi-Aventis under the Master Services Agreement has been consumed (see Note 11), the principal
portion of the note may be paid in the form of additional services provided to Sanofi-Aventis by
the Company pursuant to the terms of such services agreement. Should Sanofi-Aventis choose to not
have the note paid in the form of services, the Company is required to pay the note in cash or
stock at maturity, however, at an amount equal to 90% of the face amount of the loan, or
$2,700,000, which the Company considers its minimum liability.
15
Concurrent with the issuance of the note payable to Sanofi-Aventis, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 145,853 shares of its common stock, all of which were outstanding at September
30, 2006. The exercise price and term of the warrants is $13.01 per share and three years,
respectively. Based on relative fair values at time of issuance, the loan proceeds were allocated
to the note payable of $1,525,000 and to the warrants of $1,475,000. The fair value of the note was
calculated based on an estimated interest rate that the Company could obtain independently. The
resulting discount of $1,175,000 on the minimum liability of $2,700,000 represents unamortized debt
discount which is being amortized to interest expense over the three-year loan life to yield an
effective interest rate of 11%. This rate approximates a cost of borrowing valuation estimated by
an independent valuation company.
Short-term Note Payable
In December 2005, the Company entered into an 11-month note with Cananwill, Inc. totaling
$282,000 to finance the Companys 2006 insurance requirements. The note matures in November 2006
and has a stated rate of interest of 6.99%. Interest and principal payments are made on a monthly
basis.
13. April 2006 Private Placement of Common Stock
On April 5, 2006, the Company sold, in a private placement transaction, an aggregate of
9,930,000 units consisting of (i) one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per
share and (ii) a related warrant to purchase 0.60 of one share of common stock. The units were sold
for a purchase price of $1.19 per unit. Total proceeds from the transaction were $11,817,000 (net
proceeds to the Company were $10,909,000 after $814,000 of cash transaction costs and $94,000 of
accrued transaction costs). The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and
general corporate purposes, including funding the Companys business plan.
The transaction resulted in the Company issuing 9,930,000 shares of its common stock and
5,958,000 warrants to purchase the Companys common stock. The warrants have a 66 month term and
will be exercisable at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the
transaction. The exercise price of the warrants is $1.54 per share. The warrants contain
anti-dilution protection for stock splits and similar events, but do not contain any price-based
anti-dilution adjustments.
The stock purchase agreement requires the Company to register the common stock issued and the
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The stock purchase agreement also provides for
liquidated damages to the investors should the Company have failed to have the registration
statement declared effective in a specified period of time or if the Company fails to maintain the
effectiveness of the registration statement for up to 23 months from the closing date. The
liquidated damages amount is 2% of the total private placement proceeds for each month of
non-compliance. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and the SEC declared the registration statement effective in May 2006. The
registration statement remained effective as of September 30, 2006.
Additional warrants for the purchase of 198,600 shares were issued to the underwriters of the
private placement. These warrants have the same term and exercise price as the warrants issued to
investors; however, they contain no anti-dilution adjustment terms and are not eligible for the
liquidated damages provisions. If any of the 5,958,000 warrants issued to investors in this
transaction are exercised at anytime, the underwriters will receive additional transaction fees
totaling 1% of the proceeds received from the warrant exercise.
The Company accounted for the various components of the private placement transaction using
the provisions of SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; EITF
Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled
in a Companys Own Stock; EITF Issue No. 05-4 The Effect of Liquidated damages Clause on
Freestanding Financial Instruments Subject to Issue No. 00-19 and related amendments and guidance.

Warrants issued to investors in the private placement and related liquidated damages The
Company determined that the warrants and related liquidated damages provisions associated with the
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants did not meet the criteria for equity accounting
under EITF 00-19. Therefore, on the date of the transaction, the Company determined that the fair
value of the warrants was $5,978,000 using the BSOPM (using the following assumptions: 66-month
life, risk-free interest rate of 4.79%, volatility of 93% and no dividends payable during the life
of the warrants ). The Company determined the fair value of the liquidated damages provision on the
date of the transaction was $46,000 based on the probability of possible damages that could be paid
over the 23 month period. The probability of non registration over the next 23 months was deemed
low due to the Companys historical ability to obtain and maintain the effectiveness of numerous
previous registrations over several years. The total fair value of the combined warrants and
liquidated damages provision and the fair value of the liquidated damages provision itself was
$6,024,000 as of April 5, 2006 (the date of the Private Placement), and was recorded as a
derivative liability which will be revalued each quarter until the liquidated damages provisions
expire (earlier of 23 months from the closing date or until all warrants are exercised and the
related stock is sold) and changes will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
On June 30 and September 30, 2006, the combined instrument was revalued from $6,024,000 to
$3,099,000 and $1,986,000, respectively, using the same methodologies described above and a gain of
$1,113,000 and $4,038,000 was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The gain was primarily from a
change in the fair value of warrants caused by a 26% decline in the price of the Companys common
stock in the third quarter 2006 and a 54% decline since April 2006 when the derivative liability
was incurred.
Liquidated damages related to common stock The liquidated damages provision related to the
common stock issued is an embedded derivative under SFAS No. 133. The Company determined the fair
value of the liquidated damages provision on the date of the transaction was $77,000 based on the
probability of possible damages that could be paid over the 23 month period. This derivative will
be revalued on a quarterly basis until the liquidated damages provisions expire (earlier of 23
months from the closing date or until all stock is sold by the original investors) with any change
in value being recognized as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations.
On June 30 and September 30, 2006, the liquidated damages were revalued to $70,000 and
$61,000, respectively, using the same methodology described above and a gain of $9,000 and $16,000
was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006, respectively. As time passes and the registration statement remains in
effect, the probability and amount of potential liquidated damages decreases and results in a lower
value of the derivative liability. As the value decreases the Company will continue to recognize
gains on the revaluation.
Potential future payments to transaction underwriters Upon exercise of any of the 5,958,000
warrants issued in the private placement the underwriters of the transaction will receive a
transaction fee of 1% of the total proceeds of the warrant exercise. These potential future
payments are considered a derivative liability and were valued at $59,000 on the date of the
transaction calculating the present value of estimated future transaction fees payable using a
discount rate of 10%. This amount was recorded as transaction costs of the offering. This element
will be revalued on a quarterly basis until all of the warrants are exercised or expire (October 5,
2011) with any change in value being recognized as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of
operations.
On June 30 and September 30, 2006, this element was revalued to $62,000 and $63,000,
respectively, using the same methodology described above and a loss of $1,000 and $4,000 was
recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively.
Warrants issued to underwriters The 198,600 warrants issued to underwriters are an issuance
cost of the private placement and were valued on the date of the transaction at $199,000 using the
BSOPM using the following assumptions: 66-month life, risk-free interest rate of 4.79%, volatility
of 93% and no dividends payable during the life of the warrants. This instrument will not be
revalued because these warrants had no liquidated damage rights and thus they were not determined
to be a derivative instrument.
Common stock After all the allocations described above are taken into account the residual
unallocated portion of the net proceeds from the private placement of $10,909,000 of private
placement proceeds is $4,549,000. Of this amount $100,000 is recorded as common stock and the
remaining $4,449,000 recorded as additional paid-in capital.
The following table summarizes the total derivative liabilities initially recorded on April 5,
2006, and the revaluation as of September 30, 2006:

14. Asset Impairments
As part of the cost reduction actions discussed in Note 2, the Company significantly reduced
the number of employees in its Mason, Ohio and Round Rock, Texas locations during the three months
ended September 30, 2006. The employee reduction also caused management to review the assets at
those locations for potential impairment. Based on this review the Company recorded an asset
impairment charge of $125,000 on computer equipment and furniture and fixtures at those locations
during the third quarter 2006.
15. Earnings Per Share and Potential Dilution
The amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per common share in the accompanying
statements of operations have been computed by dividing the losses applicable to common stock by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Basic and diluted earnings per share are
equal in amount because the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive due
to a net loss being reported for each period.
Weighted average common shares that have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss
per common share consist of the following:

The promissory notes held by Sanofi-Aventis (see Note 12) can be repaid in stock or cash equal
to 90% of the face amount at maturity. If the Company chooses to pay the note with common stock the
obligation would be satisfied at the then-current stock price. If ZixCorp chose to repay the note
at November 1, 2006, with stock, the number of shares issued would have been 2,389,381 to satisfy
the minimum liability of $2,700,000. These were not included in the table above as the amount of
shares is variable based on the stock price of the Company.
16. Contingencies
Beginning in early September 2004, several purported shareholder class action lawsuits were
filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division against the
Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. The purported class action
lawsuits seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of purchasers of the Companys common stock
between October 30, 2003, and May 4, 2004. The purported shareholder class action lawsuits allege
that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions in violation
of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act during this time period. These several class action
lawsuits have been consolidated into one case. The named defendants are Zix Corporation, Dennis F.
Heathcote, Daniel S. Nutkis, John A. Ryan, Ronald A. Woessner, and Steve M. York.
The Companys motion to dismiss the consolidated lawsuits pursuant to Rules 9(b) and 12(b)(6)
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act was denied in September 2006 by the court before whom the matter is pending. Accordingly, the consolidated class
action lawsuit is proceeding in due course.
Also, three shareholder derivative lawsuits have been filed against the Company and certain
named individuals, as described below. These derivative lawsuits were filed in September 2004,
October 2005 and November 2005. The purported shareholder
18
derivative lawsuits relate to the allegedly materially false and misleading statements and/or
omissions that are the subject of the purported shareholder class action lawsuits. The derivative
lawsuits name the Company as a nominal defendant and as actual defendants the individuals named in
the purported shareholder class action lawsuits mentioned above, as well as Bradley C. Almond, Wael
Mohamed, Russell J. Morgan, Richard D. Spurr, and the Companys current and former outside
directors, Charles N. Kahn, III, Michael E. Keane, James S. Marston, Paul E. Schlosberg, Antonio R.
Sanchez III, and Ben G. Streetman. The suits seek to require the Company to initiate legal action
for unspecified damages against the individual defendants named in the shareholder class action
lawsuits. The suits also allege breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, insider selling,
gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and misappropriation of information and seek
contribution and indemnification against the individual defendants. One of the shareholder
derivative lawsuits was stayed by agreement of the parties. The second shareholder derivative
lawsuit has been closed by the court, pending a party filing a motion to re-open it. The court has
consolidated the third derivative lawsuit with the first derivative suit and stayed the case,
although the plaintiff has subsequently filed a motion to, in effect, revoke the stay. Two of the
derivative lawsuits are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas,
Dallas Division, while the suit closed by the court was pending in the County Court at Law No. Two,
Dallas County, Texas.
The Company has indemnification obligations to the individual defendants above, the terms of
which provide for no limitation to the maximum future payments under such indemnifications. The
Company has evaluated these indemnifications and determined that no accrual is necessary. While the
Company believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously, the
Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments under
the indemnifications or otherwise in connection with liability under the purported shareholder
class action lawsuits or shareholder derivative lawsuits due to the inherent uncertainties involved
in such litigation. The Company maintains insurance that may limit its financial exposure for
defense costs and liability for an unfavorable outcome in these matters, should it not prevail, for
claims covered by the insurance coverage.
The Company has severance agreements as of September 30, 2006, with certain employees that
would require the Company to pay approximately $1,630,000 if all such employees separated from
employment with the Company following a change of control, as defined in the severance agreements.
The Company is involved in other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these pending ordinary-course-of-business
legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
As of January 1, 2006, the Company operated two reporting segments, Email Encryption and
e-Prescribing, providing services that protect, manage and deliver sensitive electronic information
and provide electronic prescribing at the point of care.
Email Encryption is a comprehensive suite of secure messaging services, which allows an
enterprise to use policy driven rules to determine which emails need to be sent securely in order
to comply with regulations or corporate policy. Email Encryption is commonly referred to as Secure
Messaging. e-Prescribing consists of a single product line named PocketScript. PocketScript is an
electronic prescribing service that allows physicians to use a handheld device to prescribe drugs
and transmit the prescription electronically to any pharmacy. During the prescribing process, the
physician is provided with real-time information such as insurance formulary and drug interactions
that normally would not be available in a paper prescription format. This allows the physician to
leverage technology for better patient care at the point of delivery. The Companys Email
Encryption service is primarily offered as a hosted-service solution, whereby customers pay an
annual service subscription. The e-Prescribing service is also offered as a hosted-service
solution, however, the end-users set-up costs and initial service period are typically paid by a
sponsoring health benefits insurance provider (a payor). Both Email Encryption and e-Prescribing
services require a significant up-front investment to establish service and secure enough
subscribers to make the businesses profitable.
Operating in developing and emerging markets involves risks and uncertainties, and there are
no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts. Successful growth of an
early-stage enterprise is costly. The Companys growth depends on the timely development and market
acceptance of its products and services. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and
used significant cash resources in prior years. While the Company anticipates improvement in 2006,
further operating losses are expected in 2006. The Company will continue to place a strong emphasis
on actions to become cash flow breakeven as it balances the need for investments in developing and
emerging markets. This emphasis might entail near-term cost reductions that may come in the form of
workforce reductions, decreased investments in certain areas of the business, business divestitures
or geographic consolidation. Strategic actions intended to achieve the goal of cash flow breakeven
might have intended or unintended short-term adverse effects on certain financial performance
metrics for the Company. See Item 1A, Risk Factors for more information on the effects to the
Company if the Companys business plan is not successful and liquidity worsens.
Developmental History
In 1999, the Company began developing and marketing Secure Messaging products and services
that brought privacy, security and convenience to Internet users. ZixMail, a desktop solution for
encrypting and securely delivering email, was first commercially introduced in the first quarter of
2001. In 2002, the Company began offering additional email encryption products such as:
|
|
|
ZixVPM (Virtual Private Messenger): an e-messaging gateway service that
provides company-wide privacy protection for inbound and outbound email communications. |
|
|
|
|
ZixAuditor: an assessment service used to analyze email traffic patterns and
monitor compliance with corporate and regulatory policies. |
|
|
|
|
ZixPort: a secure Web-messaging portal. |
In July 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and the business
of PocketScript, LLC (PocketScript), a privately-held development stage enterprise that provided
electronic prescription services for the healthcare industry. This acquisition enabled the Company
to expand its services into healthcare delivery solutions, specifically, the e-Prescribing
marketplace. PocketScript is the cornerstone offering in the current e-Prescribing product segment.
In September 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and the
business of Elron Software, Inc. (Elron Software or Elron), a majority-owned subsidiary of
Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. and a provider of anti-spam, email content filtering and Web
filtering solutions, which enhanced the Companys Secure Messaging product segment.
20
In January 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets and the
business of MyDocOnline, Inc. (MyDocOnline), a subsidiary of Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the
North American pharmaceuticals business of Aventis SA. MyDocOnline offered a variety of
Internet-based healthcare services and was a provider of secure Web-based communications, disease
management, online doctor visits, and laboratory information solutions.
Also in 2004, Secure Messaging was combined with the Elron products (Message Inspector and Web
Inspector or MI/WI) and referred to as the eSecure product line and e-Prescribing was combined
with the MyDocOnline products (Dr. Chart and Connect) and referred to as the eHealth product line.
In late 2004, the Company made a strategic decision to focus the Companys resources and
efforts towards the two core products of the Secure Messaging and e-Prescribing. Subsequently, on
November 4, 2004, the Company announced that it was terminating the Connect service for online
doctor visits.
On March 11, 2005, the MI/WI product lines, which were acquired in the Elron acquisition, were
sold to CyberGuard (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
On September 30, 2005, the Company sold the remaining MyDocOnline product (Dr. Chart) to MITEM
(see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
In early 2006, the eSecure product line was renamed Email Encryption and the eHealth product
line was renamed e-Prescribing to reflect the single product focus in these two remaining core
product lines.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Companys management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and
assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most
important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results and require
managements most subjective judgments. The Companys most critical accounting policies and
estimates are described below.
Long-Lived
Assets The accounting policies and estimates relating to the long-lived assets
are considered critical because of the significant impact that impairment or obsolescence could
have on the Companys operating results.
The Companys long-lived assets subject to amortization and depreciation are comprised of
identified intangibles and property and equipment aggregating $2,769,000 or 13% of total assets at
September 30, 2006. The property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment
when certain triggering events occur where there is reason to believe that the value has been
diminished or impaired. The amount of a potential impairment is determined by comparing the
carrying amount of an asset to the value determined from a projected discounted cash flow method,
using a discount rate that is considered to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Companys
current business model. Assumptions are made with respect to future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the related asset. An impairment charge would be recorded for an amount by which the
carrying value of the asset exceeded the discounted projected net cash flows. Also, even where a
current impairment charge is not necessary, the remaining useful lives are evaluated.
Goodwill is $2,161,000 as of September 30, 2006, and is unchanged from the December 31, 2005
balance. Goodwill was 10% and 6% of total assets on September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005,
respectively, and represents the remaining cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired in
the September 2003 acquisition of Elron Software.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not being
amortized; however, the Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth
quarter or when there is reason to believe that the value has been diminished or impaired.
Evaluations for possible impairment are based upon 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 unit including the assigned goodwill value. The fair values used in
this evaluation are estimated based upon the Companys market capitalization, which is based on the
number of shares of outstanding stock and market price of the stock. An impairment is deemed to
exist if the net book value of the unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The sale of the Message
Inspector and Web Inspector products in the first quarter of 2005, which were a significant part of
the Elron acquisition, caused the Company to evaluate the goodwill associated with the sale of
21
net assets representing a portion of the Email Encryption reporting unit. As a result, the
Company reduced goodwill in the first quarter of 2005 by $2,161,000 as part of the carrying value
of the net assets related to that transaction. This represented 50% of the acquired goodwill from
the Elron acquisition. The sale of the Dr. Chart product caused the Company to evaluate the
goodwill associated with the purchase of MyDocOnline, of which Dr. Chart was a significant portion.
As a result, the Company included in the carrying amount of assets sold in the Dr. Chart sale, the
entire goodwill balance of $4,797,000 associated with the acquisition of MyDocOnline. See Note 7 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of these transactions.
Future changes made to the current estimates or assumptions, including such factors as order
volumes and price levels, life spans of purchased technology, continuity of acquired customers,
alternative uses for property and equipment and levels of operating expenses, could result in an
unanticipated impairment charge from the write-down of the Companys long-lived assets or goodwill.
Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that
the subject net operating loss carry-forwards and unused tax credits will be realized on future
federal income tax returns. At September 30, 2006, the Company continued to provide a full
valuation allowance against accumulated U.S. deferred tax assets of $101,782,000, reflecting the
Companys historical losses and the uncertainty of future taxable income. If the Company begins to
generate U.S. taxable income in a future period or if the facts and circumstances on which its
estimates and assumptions are based were to change, thereby impacting the likelihood of realizing
the deferred tax assets, judgment would have to be applied in determining the amount of valuation
allowance no longer required. Reversal of all or a part of this valuation allowance could have a
significant positive impact on operating results in the period that it becomes more likely than not
that certain of the Companys deferred tax assets will be realized.
Derivative Liabilities On April 5, 2006, the Company sold 9,930,000 shares of common stock
and 5,958,000 warrants to various investors (see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements). Due to certain terms included in the private placement some elements of the
transaction were recorded as derivative liabilities under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities; EITF Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial
instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Companys Own Stock; EITF Issue No. 05-4 The
Effect of Liquidated damages Clause on Freestanding Financial Instruments Subject to Issue No.
00-19 and related amendments and guidance. Each quarter these derivative liabilities are revalued
to reflect their then-current fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses estimates and judgment to develop
the assumptions used in the various valuation models, such as price volatility of the Companys
common stock, estimates of when the warrants will be exercised, and probabilities relating to the
Companys SEC registration statement becoming ineffective. These estimations and assumptions are
critical as any change could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. In the
three and six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized gains of $1,120,000 and
$4,050,000 on revaluation of derivative liabilities.
Revenue The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, as promulgated by SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition;
SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With respect to Certain
Transactions; Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables; and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, and other related pronouncements.
The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports electronic information protection
services and related software products. The Companys services can be placed into several key
revenue categories where each category has similar revenue recognition traits: Email Encryption
subscription-based services, e-Prescribing service, various transaction fees and related
professional services. A majority of the revenues generated by the Company are through direct
sales; however, for Email Encryption services the Company employs a network of distributors and
resellers. Under all product categories and distribution models, the Company recognizes revenue
after all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is
reasonably assured. In the event the arrangement has multiple elements with delivered and
undelivered elements, revenue for the delivered elements are recognized under the residual method
only when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) exists to allocate the fair value
of the total fees to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. Occasionally, when ZixCorp is
engaged in a complex product deployment, customer acceptance may have to occur before the
transaction is considered complete. In this situation no revenue is recognized until the customer
accepts the product. Discounts provided to customers are recorded as reductions in revenue.
The Email Encryption services of ZixMail, ZixVPM, ZixPort, and ZixDirect are
subscription-based services. In the first quarter of 2005, subscription-based services also
included Dr. Chart. Providing these services includes delivering licensed software and providing
secure electronic communications and customer support throughout the subscription period. In the
case of ZixVPM, typically, as part of the service, an appliance with pre-installed software is
installed at the customer site at the beginning of the
22
subscription period. In a subscription service, the customer does not own a perpetual right to
a software license, but is instead granted the use of that license during the period of the service
subscription. Subscriptions are generally multiple-year contracts that are irrevocable and
non-refundable in nature and require annual, up-front payments. The subscription period begins on
the date specified by the parties or when the service is fully functional for the customer which is
consequently deemed to be the date of acceptance. Revenues from subscription services are recorded
as service revenue as the services are rendered from the date of acceptance over the subscription
period. Subscription fees received from customers in advance are recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized as revenues ratably over the subscription period.
On September 30, 2005, the Dr. Chart product line was sold to MITEM. This product line was
acquired in January 2004 through the acquisition of MyDocOnline, Inc. For the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005, Dr. Chart product line contributed $135,000 and $330,000 in
revenue, respectively (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidate financial statements).
e-Prescribing service arrangements contain multiple deliverables including both hardware and
services. Due to the lack of VSOE, these elements are combined into a single unit of accounting
and, similar to Email Encryption, recognized as service revenue ratably over the longer of the
subscription term or expected renewal period. Revenue recognition begins upon installation of the
required hardware and commencement of service. Prior to the third quarter 2005, the Company did
maintain VSOE for certain service elements of the e-Prescribing service. Accordingly, the residual
value assigned to the PocketScript handheld device was recognized as revenue upon installation. The
fair value of the undelivered services is being recognized ratably over the period in which those
services are delivered.
In the first quarter 2005, the Company sold anti-spam filtering, email content filtering, and
Web filtering solutions under the MI/WI product lines to customers under perpetual licensing
arrangements. These perpetual software licenses were normally sold as part of multiple-element
arrangements that included annual maintenance and/or subscription, and may have included
implementation or training services. Evidence of VSOE for implementation and training services
associated with the anti-spam, email content filtering and Web filtering arrangements was based
upon standard billing rates and the estimated level of effort for the individuals expected to
perform the related services. Installation and training revenues were recognized as the services
were rendered. The Company established VSOE for maintenance based upon maintenance that was sold
separately. Maintenance revenue was recognized over the term of the maintenance agreement,
generally one year.
On March 11, 2005, the MI/WI product lines were sold to CyberGuard. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, MI/WI contributed $646,000 in revenue. The product lines contributed no
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005. (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements).
Some of the Companys services incorporate a transaction fee per event occurrence or when
predetermined usage levels have been reached. These fees are recognized as revenue when the
transaction occurs or when the predetermined usage levels have been achieved, and when the amounts
are fixed and determinable.
The Company does not offer standalone services. Further, the Companys services include
various warranty provisions; however, warranty expense was not material to any period presented.
Deferred Cost of Revenues In accordance with the Companys revenue recognition policy, the
revenue associated with certain PocketScript deployments is being recognized ratably over the
period the services are being delivered. To properly match direct costs and revenue, the Company
defers the direct, incremental costs of each deployment expected to be recovered. These costs
consist mainly of the cost of the handheld device, and are recorded as deferred cost of revenue.
The deferred costs are then amortized into cost of revenue ratably over the period which revenue is
recognized. The deferred cost of revenue of $362,000 and $265,000 is included in other assets as of
September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Stock-based compensation On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, and has elected to use the modified prospective method along with the straight
line amortization method for recognizing stock option compensation costs. For periods prior to
January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based
compensation plans under the provisions of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and
related interpretations.
SFAS No. 123(R) replaces the intrinsic value measurement objective in APB 25 and requires
companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The standard requires
grant date fair value to be estimated using either an option-pricing model which is consistent with
the terms of the award or a market observed price, if such a price exists. Such cost must be
recognized over the period during which an
23
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, i.e., the requisite
service period (which is usually the vesting period). The standard also requires companies to
estimate the number of instruments that will ultimately be earned, rather than accounting for
forfeitures as they occur.
The Company used the BSOPM to determine the fair value of option grants made during the first
three quarters of 2006 and 2005. The Company estimated the average holding period of vested options
to be two years from the vesting period (1.6 1.8 years) for options granted before 2006, but used
the simplified method per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share Based Payment, to
calculate the estimated life of options granted to employees subsequent to December 31, 2005. The
expected stock price volatility was calculated by averaging the historical volatility of the
Companys common stock over a term equal to the expected life of the options. The following
weighted average assumptions were applied in determining the fair value of options granted during
the respective periods:

The assumptions used in the BSOPM valuation are critical as a change in any given factor could
have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $568,000 and
$2,008,000 of stock-based compensation expense using the accounting methods required in SFAS
123(R). As noted above, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company applied APB 25 to account
for its stock-based awards. The following table details the affect on net income and earnings per
share had compensation expense for employee stock-based awards been recorded in the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2005 based on the fair value method under FAS 123(R):

Operations
|
|
The Company secured new first-year orders in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, totaling $1,233,000 for its Email
Encryption services and maintained over 95% renewal rate of its Email Encryption customers. |
|
|
|
The Company deployed 460 new e-Prescribing devices to physicians under sponsorship arrangements with several large
insurance payors. |
|
|
|
The Company achieved approximately 1,284,000 electronic prescriptions transacted in the three months ended September 30,
2006, through its e-Prescribing service, which compares to 1,300,000 electronic prescriptions for the preceding quarter
in 2006. |
2006 Reduction in Force
The Company announced in the second quarter of 2006 that it was in the process of reducing its
quarterly spending by way of a reduction in workforce and reductions in non-headcount related
areas. On August 8, 2006, the Company announced that the targeted cost reductions would be
increased to equal approximately a 25% reduction in quarterly spending when compared with the first
quarter of 2006. The purpose of these reductions is to streamline the Companys operating costs in
order to strengthen the Companys liquidity position by more closely matching its cost structure to
near-term revenue opportunities. As of November 1, 2006, the Company has substantially completed
the headcount reductions.

Email Encryption and e-Prescribing are primarily subscription-based services. In 2005,
the MI/WI products were primarily sold as perpetual licenses with annual maintenance and/or
subscription contracts. e-Prescribing incorporated a separate hardware and installation element,
and the Dr. Chart product and services represented either a subscription-based arrangement or a
perpetual license sale. With the exception of perpetual software licenses (MI/WI products and
occasionally the Dr. Chart product) and early stage e-Prescribing contracts, the Company has
generally recognized revenue over the life of a related service contracts under Services Revenue.
The shift towards mostly subscription based offerings in late 2005 led to the decline in the
hardware revenue stream and the sale of the MI/WI product lines in the first quarter of 2005 led to
the decline of the software revenue stream.
The Company believes that total revenue by product provides a more meaningful examination of
the Companys revenue sources and trends:

Email Encryption The respective revenue increases of $898,000 and $3,122,000 in Email
Encryption for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, over the comparable periods in
2005 are due to the Company experiencing revenue growth by adding new subscribers to the service
while retaining a high percentage of existing subscribers as their service contracts expire.
25
The Companys additions to the subscriber base is best measured by new first-year orders which are
defined as the portion of new orders that are expected to be recognized into revenue in the first
twelve months of the contract. Over the last twelve months, the Company has experienced a
quarterly average of new first-year orders of $1,178,000 and achieved in excess of 95% renewals of
existing customers as their service contracts with the Company expired. The result has been
year-on-year revenue growth of 33% and 44% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2006, when compared with similar periods in 2005.
While Email Encryption revenue is expected to continue year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter
improvements for the remainder of 2006, the 44% rate experienced during the first nine months of
2006 is not expected to continue throughout the remainder of the year given the decline in new
first-year orders over the last twelve months relative to the record setting new first-year orders
of 2005. The orders in 2005 were higher due largely to regulatory deadlines associated with the
HIPAA regulations which mandated encryption of emails that contain personal health information.
The recurring nature of the subscription model makes revenue rise in a predictable manner
assuming continued new additions to the subscription base and adequate subscription renewal rates.
Adding to the predictability is the Companys go-to-market model of selling primarily three-year
subscription contracts with the fees paid annually. The Companys list pricing for Email Encryption
has remained generally consistent in 2006 when compared with 2005 and the Company has experienced
relatively consistent discount percentages off the list price over the comparable periods. In
general, customers that are due for renewal are renewed at a price equal to or greater than their
previous service period.
e-Prescribing e-Prescribing revenues increased $463,000 (70%) and $152,000 (6%) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The $463,000 increase when compared
to the third quarter of 2005 is mainly the result of increased transaction/usage-based fees and new
payor contracts that were finalized in late 2005 and early 2006 which have begun to generate
significant revenue in 2006. The transaction/usage-based revenues increased $298,000 during the
third quarter of 2006 over the comparable period in 2005. Most of this increase came from usage
fees included in one of the Companys payor contracts. New payors that were added in late 2005 and
early 2006 contributed combined incremental revenues of $148,000 (excluding transaction/usage-based
fees) in the third quarter of 2006 over the third quarter of 2005. Additional third quarter 2006
deployments made under legacy payor contracts were slightly more than the users who ceased using
the service during the same period.
The $152,000 increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 over the same period in
2005 is the result of increased transaction/usage-based fees and new payor contracts (noted above)
off set by increased revenue deferrals due to the terms of some payor contracts. The
transaction/usage based revenues increased $532,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2006, over the comparable period in 2005. Most of this increase came from usage fees included in
one of the Companys payor contracts. New payors added in late 2005 and early 2006 contributed
combined incremental revenues of $311,000 (excluding transaction/usage-based fees) in the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 over the comparable period in 2005. The revenue increases driven by
the two items noted above were off-set by changes in the terms of recent contracts whereby more
revenue is now deferred under a subscription model Prior to the third quarter 2005, a certain
portion of the total fees per user was immediately recognized as revenue upon installation and a
portion of the fee was deferred and recognized as service revenue ratably over the service period
under the residual method. Because of new contract terms and pricing structures that were
introduced during the past fifteen months the Company is recognizing revenue ratably over the term
of the service agreement, instead of recognizing a significant portion upon installation.
Additionally, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, contracts often incorporated a
payment-upon-usage component whereby payment, and consequently, revenues are deferred until usage
metrics are met and payment becomes certain. These changes increased the revenue deferrals in the
first nine months of 2006 relative to the first nine months of 2005 and off-set the some of the
revenue increases realized from new contracts and the transaction/usage based fees.
Divested Products: The decline in revenues from the Web Inspector and Message Inspector
products and the Dr. Chart products resulted from the divestitures of these products in March 2005
and September 2005, respectively. The Web Inspector and Message Inspector product lines, which were
acquired in the Elron acquisition, were sold to CyberGuard Corporation and the Dr. Chart product,
which was acquired in the MyDocOnline acquisition, was sold to MITEM (see Note 7 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements).
Revenue Summary: The Companys future revenue growth is expected to come from continued
success in the Email Encryption market, including the use of Zixs Email Encryption service in the
healthcare industry and the Companys recent expansion into new vertical markets and broader
distribution channels. The e-Prescribing market growth is expected to come from broader market
adoption of the e-Prescribing technology and increased transaction-based fees. As to e-Prescribing
revenues, the Company expects that most of the new arrangements will result in revenue being
amortized over the contract life and reported as service revenues versus
the previous arrangements that resulted in the hardware element being recognized upon
deployment and a portion of the fee being recognized as service revenue ratably over the service
period.
26
Revenue Indicators Backlog, Orders, and Deployments
Company-wide backlog The Companys end-user order backlog is comprised of contractually
bound agreements that the Company expects to fully amortize into revenue. As of September 30, 2006,
the backlog was approximately $25,517,000 and is comprised of the following elements: $9,421,000 of
deferred revenue that has been billed and paid, $4,161,000 billed but unpaid and approximately
$11,935,000 of signed but unbilled contracts. The backlog can be further divided by product, of
which $22,743,000 is for Email Encryption and $2,774,000 is for e-Prescribing.
Excluded from the backlog at September 30, 2006, is a customer deposit from Sanofi-Aventis of
$2,000,000. The deposit is excluded from backlog because the Company currently does not expect that
Sanofi-Aventis will request that any service be performed under the contract and that revenue will
not be recognized. The Company believes that the expected lack of performance stems from the
Aventis acquisition by Sanofi. Sanofi-Aventis has communicated to the Company that after the
acquisition Sanofi-Aventis is undertaking a new direction and that the services will likely not be
needed (see Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
The backlog is recognized into revenue as the services are performed. Approximately 52% to 57%
of the total backlog is expected to be recognized as revenue during the next twelve months. The
timing of revenue is affected by both the length of time required to deploy a service and the
length of the service contract.
Email Encryption Orders The Companys future revenue growth beyond what is scheduled to be
recognized from the backlog is determined by additional new first-year orders for Email Encryption
coupled with renewal rates for existing customers whose contracts are expiring. The following
table provides the relevant trend of new first-year orders:

The renewal rate for Email Encryption customers was in excess of 95% for the nine months of
2006, which is consistent with the renewal rates for years 2005 and 2004. The Company continues to
experience a high percentage of customers who choose to subscribe to Email Encryption services for
a three-year term versus a one-year term. The Company expects this preference for a longer contract
term to continue for its direct sale customers throughout 2006 and into 2007, as the Company has
priced its services in a manner that encourages long-term contractual commitments from customers.
While the Company experienced a price increase for its Email Encryption services in 2005 relative
to 2004 and has maintained these pricing levels through 2006, there are no assurances that the
increasing competition in this market will not result in price erosion in 2007 and beyond. Such a
price erosion, should it occur, could have a dampening effect on the Companys new first-year
orders and thus, its future revenues. Alternatively, the Companys market share in certain
verticals could allow for pricing increases.
e-Prescribing Deployments and Active Users In e-Prescribing, the Company builds the
subscriber base by contracting with health insurance companies (payors) to sponsor physicians in
their network to receive the e-Prescribing equipment and service free of charge for the first year.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has active contracts with six such payors. The current list
prices for initial and subsequent annual renewal periods for the e-Prescribing service are $2,000
and $600, respectively. Because the revenue recognized in periods following the initial service
year decreases, future revenue growth is also dependent upon expanding current payor sponsorships,
securing additional payor contracts, achieving and increasing adoption and utilization by the
sponsored physicians, renewing service contracts for active physicians at the end of their
sponsorship, and developing additional transaction-based fees.
27
In e-Prescribing, the deployments of subscribers and active users are indicators of future
revenue. In the third quarter 2006, the Company deployed 460 units compared with approximately 574
in the third quarter 2005. For the first nine months of 2006 the Company has deployed approximately
1,800 units compared with approximately 1,600 for the same period in 2005. The Company has
approximately 1,400 sponsored but not yet deployed users in deployment backlog as of September 30,
2006. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately 2,636 active prescribers using the
service. The active metric was not followed in the same period 2005 for comparison. The number of
active users is important as a measurement of the user base that is actively using the service to a
meaningful level in order to generate transaction revenue and as a result, it is an indicator of
retention and future renewal opportunity. The Company has a twofold objective in deploying new
users: first, to ensure they become regular users of the service (active) and second, to ensure
that the users choose to renew their service (retention). For deployments that occurred in 2004 and
early 2005, the percentage of deployed users who became active users was approximately 50%. The
Company changed its contracts, recruiting and training strategy in an attempt to increase the
active user rate throughout 2006. The Company has seen improvements in some sponsorship contracts
where the active rate is in excess of 60% and others remain closer to a 50% active rate. The
Company is continuing its efforts to implement cost effective methods of increasing the percentage
of active users. The largest base of deployed units continues to be in Massachusetts and is
sponsored by the eRx Collaborative (a joint effort of three of the largest insurance payors in
Massachusetts). While the sponsorship contracts identify the individual physicians using the device
as being responsible for renewing the service after the first year, the eRx Collaborative continues
to elect to renew the service for their active users.
e-Prescribing Transaction and Usage Fees The total transaction and usage-based fees
recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $366,000 and
$692,000, respectively. The Company currently has transaction-based contracts under which it earns
fees for some prescriptions sent electronically to pharmacies and for certain transactions
involving prescriptions related to two Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs). The Company also has a
usage-based arrangement with one payor sponsor under which it earns fees for improvements in a
PocketScript users prescribing behavior relative to that sponsoring payors customers. While
increasing the number of active users should increase the prescriptions written and thus increase
the potential for transaction fees under current agreements, substantial revenue increases from
transaction fees will require additional transaction-based fees from new and existing customers.
The Company is seeking such agreements with interested parties. The source of new transaction
related fees the Company is most focused on are payors that have insured members visiting doctors
that already use the PocketScript service via a sponsorship arrangement from another competing
payor. In most cases, there are multiple payors in each market and the additional non-sponsorship
payors are viewed as potential sources for additional fees in return for certain services such as
formulary display, drug-to-drug interaction checking and reporting. Other possible sources for
additional transaction fees are from other parties who could benefit from a real-time, electronic
messaging capability with PocketScript users.
The number of prescriptions written using the PocketScript service and thus transmitted
through the Companys data center has been growing on a
year-over-year basis. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company transacted approximately 1,284,000 and 3,767,000
prescriptions, respectively. For the same periods in 2005, the Company transacted approximately
681,000 and 1,692,000 prescriptions, respectively.
Cost of Revenues
The following table sets forth a quarterly and nine-month period comparison of the Companys
cost of revenues by product line. The Companys two product lines (segments), Email Encryption and
e-Prescribing, have direct cost of revenues that are readily identifiable between the two product
lines in 2006. In 2005 the costs were less identifiable; however, management made estimates and
assumptions to calculate an estimated cost of revenues per product line throughout 2005. Those
estimates and assumptions are provided here for comparative purposes.

The Companys cost of revenues were $3,131,000 and $9,596,000 for the respective
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, and decreased $449,000 and $1,383,000
when compared with the respective periods in 2005. The quarterly decrease of $449,000 consists
primarily of a $293,000 net reduction in personnel costs to include contract labor and consulting,
$122,000 reduction in computer-related expendables, maintenance, support and software licenses,
$253,000 reduction in depreciation and intangibles amortization expense, partially offset by an
increase in occupancy costs of $125,000 and other net sundry expense
28
increases of approximately $94,000. The decrease of $1,383,000 for the nine-month period
comparison consists primarily of a $796,000 reduction in personnel costs including salaries and
wages, contract labor, consulting services, benefits and employee recruitment, $257,000 reduction
in computer-related expendables, maintenance, support and software licenses and a $523,000
reduction in depreciation expense and intangibles amortization. These reductions were partially
offset by increases in occupancy costs of $121,000 and other net sundry expense increases of
approximately $72,000. The Companys occupancy costs are allocated on a regular basis based on
headcount to cost of revenues, research and development expenses and selling, general and
administrative expenses. The Companys total occupancy costs have decreased for each of the
comparable reporting periods due to the combined effects of the 2005 divestitures of the MI/WI and
Dr. Chart product lines and the 2006 reduction in workforce. However, the headcount reductions in
cost of revenues have been proportionally less than those reductions in the research & development
and selling, general and administrative expense classifications. This disproportionate reduction in
headcount has resulted in a higher allocation of occupancy costs to cost of revenue.
Again, the year-on-year reductions in personnel costs resulted principally from the
divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines and selected headcount reductions in both
Email Encryption and e-Prescribing product lines stemming from the 2006 reduction in workforce. The
reduced amortization expense of intangible assets resulted from the 2005 write-down of certain
intangible assets also related to the divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines.
Email Encryption Email Encryptions cost of revenues is comprised of costs related to
operating and maintaining the ZixData Center, a field deployment team, customer service and support
and the amortization of Company-owned, customer-based computer appliances. For Email Encryption, a
significant portion of the total cost of revenues relates to the ZixData Center, which is currently
not fully utilized. Accordingly, cost of revenues are relatively fixed in nature and are expected
to grow at a slower pace than revenue. The $134,000 increase for the nine months ended September
30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily from an increase in the related ZixData
Center costs that were previously dedicated to divested products. As those products were divested,
the resources and computing assets were reassigned to support Email Encryption. Email Encryption
has shown the ability to grow revenues, while leaving cost of revenues flat or only marginally
increasing as more efficient methods of product delivery and service have been implemented. For
example, the Email Encryption revenues for the first nine months of 2006 have increased $3,122,000
when compared to the first nine months of 2005. As noted above, the cost of revenues increased for
the comparable period by $134,000.
e-Prescribing e-Prescribings cost of revenues is comprised of costs related to operating
and maintaining the ZixData Center, a field deployment team, customer service and support, training
and e-Prescribing device costs. In e-Prescribing, a greater proportion of total cost of revenues
relates to the field deployment and device costs. These are more variable in nature than the
ZixData Center and accordingly, e-Prescribing costs are more closely correlated with demand. The
$89,000 increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005
is primarily from an increase in the number of new deployments which was approximately 1,800 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and approximately 1,600 in the same period for 2005.
Because e-Prescribing costs of revenues have a greater variable component, additional increases in
e-Prescribing demand, as measured by revenue and deployments, is expected to result in a
corresponding increase in the related cost of revenues. For example, the e-Prescribing revenues for
the first nine months of 2006 have increased $152,000 when compared to the first nine months of
2005. As noted above, the cost of revenues increased for the comparable period by $89,000.
Divested Products MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines were offered for sale in 2005. MI/WI was
divested on March 31, 2005, and Dr. Chart was divested in September 2005 (see Note 7 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements). Therefore, the Company experienced cost of revenues
for these products in 2005, but not in 2006.

increased salaries and wages, contract labor and consulting services for Email Encryption and
e-Prescribing, which were driven primarily by in-quarter development and quality
control initiatives, such as follow-on work-effort support for the
release of ZixDirect, a new Email Encryption product introduced by
the Company in the second quarter of 2006, and $17,000 for other net sundry cost increases.
29
The $154,000 decrease for the nine month period consists of $65,000 in personnel costs and
$89,000 in non-personnel costs. Personnel costs include salaries and wages, contract labor,
consulting services, benefits and recruitment. The decrease in personnel costs consisted of
$539,000 relating to the divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines in 2005 and was
partially offset by $474,000 of increased costs for new development and quality control initiatives
involving Email Encryption and e-Prescribing. The decrease in non-personnel costs primarily relates
to occupancy-related costs relating to the divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines.

The general trend is a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses as the
Company consolidated various marketing initiatives in 2005 from previously acquired companies,
divested previously acquired companies, and from a concerted effort to reduce overall company
spending. These reductions have been mitigated by the addition of share-based compensation costs
related to employee and non-employee stock options in 2006 (see Note 5 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements).
The $982,000 decrease for the three-month period consists primarily of a $717,000 decrease in
personnel costs and $265,000 for non-personnel costs. The principal reasons for the decrease in
personnel costs are the divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines in 2005 and the 2006
reduction in workforce. Personnel costs include salaries and wages, contract labor, consulting
services, benefits and recruitment. The decrease in non-personnel costs was due to reductions of
$213,000 in external legal and accounting fees, $248,000 in occupancy costs, $168,000 for one-time
tax-related credits and other net sundry reductions of $165,000. These reductions were partially
offset by an increase of $529,000 in share-based compensation costs related to employee and
non-employee stock options.
The Company expects these impacts to continue for the remainder 2006. As announced in the
second and third quarters of 2006, costs reduction efforts undertaken by the Company should also
lead to additional near-term savings in selling, general and administrative costs, with the primary
focus on reducing externally sourced general administrative expenses and eliminating non- revenue
producing personnel where feasible.
The $1,902,000 decrease for the nine-month period consists primarily of a $1,358,000 decrease
in personnel costs and $544,000 in non-personnel costs. The principal reasons for the decrease in
personnel costs are the divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines in 2005 and the 2006
reduction in workforce. Personnel costs include salaries and wages, contract labor, consulting
services, benefits and recruitment. The decrease in non-personnel costs was due to $700,000 in
various one-time tax expense reductions relating to state sales tax and international Indirect Tax
refunds and a reduction of state sales and use tax accrued, $276,000 in reduced amortization costs
of intangible assets associated with the divestitures of the MI/WI and Dr. Chart product lines in
2005, $874,000 decrease in various general administrative items such as external legal, accounting
and insurance, $370,000 for reduced occupancy costs, $185,000 for depreciation expense resulting
from certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated and a $53,000 decrease for all other sundry
costs, partially offset by an increase of $1,729,000 in share-based compensation costs related to
employee and non-employee stock options and a $136,000 increase in computer-related expendables,
maintenance, support and software licenses.
Customer Deposit Forfeitures
In the first quarter 2006 and second quarter 2005, the Company recorded a $1,000,000 and
$960,000 reduction of operating expenses, respectively. These amounts represent forfeitures by
Sanofi-Aventis of a customer deposit in accordance with a Master Services Agreement, which was
entered into with Aventis for $4,000,000 on the same date as the MyDocOnline acquisition (see Note
11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) for the Companys performance of various
future services. The services were to be delivered in minimum amounts of $1,000,000, $1,000,000 and
$2,000,000 prior to April 11, 2005, January 30, 2006, and
30
January 30, 2007, respectively. The Company believes that the 2006 forfeiture of deposit along
with a similar forfeiture in 2005 are most likely associated with a change in strategic direction
that came about as a result of the merger between Sanofi and Aventis and the resulting change in
personnel. The future status on the remaining deposit is unknown at this time.
Gain/Loss on Sale of Product Line
On March 11, 2005, the Company sold its Web Inspector and Message Inspector product lines to
CyberGuard Corporation and recognized a net gain on the sale of $950,000. The total sales price was
$3,626,000 consisting of $2,126,000 in cash and a $1,500,000 note receivable which was fully paid
in 2005. The net gain recognized on the sale was $950,000. In the third quarter of 2005, the
Company agreed to transfer an additional $85,000 of deferred revenue to CyberGuard resulting in a
total gain on the sale of MI/WI of $1,035,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 (see Note 7 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements).
On September 30, 2005, the Company sold the remaining MyDocOnline product (Dr. Chart) to MITEM
and recognized a net loss on the sale of $4,734,000. As part of the consideration, the Company
received a $540,000 promissory note which was fully reserved on the date of sale.
In the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company recorded an additional $17,000 of transaction fees
relating to the Dr. Chart sale. The fees increased the loss on the sale to $4,751,000 as of
December 31, 2005.
MITEM paid the September 2006 payment of $25,000 and the Company recognized a gain on the
payment of $11,000. The gain was recorded as a gain on the sale of the product line and reduced the
overall loss on the sale of Dr. Chart to $4,740,000. Future gains could be recorded if MITEM
continues to make its monthly payments (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements, which describes a restructuring of the MITEM note
receivable).
Asset Impairments
As part of the cost reduction actions discussed in the Results of Operations section above,
the Company significantly reduced the number of employees in its Mason, Ohio and Round Rock, Texas
locations during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The employee reduction acted as a
triggering event and thus caused management to review the assets at those locations for potential
impairment. Based on this review the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $125,000 on
computer equipment and furniture and fixtures at those locations during the third quarter 2006.
Investment and Other Income
Investment income increased to $229,000 and $740,000 for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006, from $178,000 and $464,000 for the corresponding periods in 2005
primarily due to an increase in interest rates in the first nine months of 2006. Additionally, in
the first nine months of 2006, approximately $38,000 of interest was earned on the note receivable
that resulted from the sale of Dr. Chart (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements).
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, is $114,000
and $1,009,000, respectively, compared to $2,205,000 and $5,031,000 for the same periods in 2005,
respectively.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, consists of the following:

Interest expense decreased $2,091,000 and $4,022,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, when compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively. The reduction in
interest expense for both periods is attributed to the retirement of the $20,000,000 convertible
promissory notes payable in the second half of 2005 and first half of 2006 (see Note 12 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements).
The promissory note payable is the Sanofi-Aventis note payable (see Note 12 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements). This note bears interest at an annual rate of 4.5% and is
payable only in services provided by the Company to Sanofi-Aventis unless there is an event of
default. As of September 30, 2006, Sanofi-Aventis has requested no services in-lieu of interest and
the Company believes that it is not probable that Sanofi-Aventis will request such services. In
addition, the potential costs of delivering any unspecified services cannot be estimated.
Therefore, no interest expense or liabilities have been recorded in relation to the stated interest
rate on the note.
Gain on Valuation of Derivative Liability
On April 5, 2006, the Company sold 9,930,000 shares of common stock and 5,958,000 warrants to
various investors (see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Due to certain
terms included in the private placement some elements of the transaction were recorded as
derivative liabilities and are revalued each quarter with the change in value being recorded as a
gain or loss on the consolidate statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, the Company recorded gains of $1,120,000 and $4,050,000, respectively on the
revaluation of the derivative liabilities. The gain was primarily from a change in the fair value
of warrants, when measured on September 30, 2006 and compared to the value on the date of closing.
The decline in value is primarily caused by a 26% decline in the price of the Companys common
stock in the third quarter 2006 and a 54% decline since April 2006 when the derivative liability
was incurred. The Company will likely recognize a loss on the valuation of the derivative
liability if the price of the Companys common stock increases in the future.
Income Taxes
For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a tax
expense of $11,000 and a tax benefit of $77,000, respectively. The benefit relates to the
operations of the Companys Canadian subsidiary and results primarily from the application for and
acceptance of certain scientific research & experimental development claims for years 2004 and 2005
not originally reflected in the respective annual accrued tax liabilities. The tax expense incurred
in the third quarter 2006 pertains to the 2006 tax provision for the Companys Canadian subsidiary.
For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded a tax expense
of $22,000 and a tax benefit of $59,000, respectively. The benefit related to the operations of
the Companys Canadian subsidiary and resulted from the retroactive change to certain inter-company
transactional documents that had the effect of lowering the originally accrued 2004 Canadian tax
liability. The Company has fully reserved its U.S. net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty
of future taxable income.
The Companys deferred tax assets may be limited in whole or in part by Internal Revenue Code
Section 382. As a result, the Companys ability to fully utilize its deferred tax assets, including
its net operating loss carry forwards, against future taxable income may be limited.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company has total contractual cash obligations over the next twelve months of $4,298,000
and $6,605,000 over the next three years consisting of leases, debt obligations and other
contractual commitments. These amounts include the $2,700,000 note due March 2007 to Sanofi-Aventis
which is payable in cash or common stock at the Companys discretion. Cash usage in excess of these
32
commitments represents operating spending to satisfy existing customer contracts and cover
various corporate overhead costs, as well as investments that the Company chooses to make to secure
new orders. The Company believes that a significant portion of the spending in excess of
contractual commitments is discretionary.
The Company is engaged in two primary markets: Email Encryption and e-Prescribing (previously
known as eSecure and eHealth). Both are subscription businesses that share a common business model.
First, the service is established and maintained, which requires a start-up cost and recurring
fixed costs. Subscribers are then acquired and brought onto the service, which requires a variable
acquisition cost of selling and marketing, installation and deployment. Subscribers are recruited
with the goal of reaching a level of subscriber payments that exceeds the fixed recurring service
costs. Therefore, both the rate at which new subscribers are added and the ability to retain
subscribers is essential to operational cash flow breakeven.
Operationally, the future cash flow of the Company is primarily associated with the following
key metrics:
|
|
|
New subscriptions (termed new first-year orders) for the Email Encryption service |
|
|
|
|
Renewal rates for the Email Encryption service |
|
|
|
|
New insurance payor sponsorships of the e-Prescribing service to physicians |
|
|
|
|
Successful adoption and usage of the e-Prescribing service by physicians |
|
|
|
|
Retention of the users (physicians) of the e-Prescribing service |
|
|
|
|
Future transaction fees (or related fees) associated with the use of the e-Prescribing service |
|
|
|
|
The ability to increase the business volume with reasonable cost increases |
Email Encryption The recurring nature of the Email Encryption subscription model makes cash
receipts naturally rise in a predictable manner assuming adequate subscription renewal and
continued new additions to the subscription base. Adding to the predictability is the Companys
model of selling primarily three-year subscription contracts for Email Encryption with the fees
paid annually at the inception of each year of service. For several years the spending in Email
Encryption exceeded cash receipts. As that business has matured, the gap between cash spending and
cash receipts from operations narrowed substantially and the Company believes it is now cash flow
accretive from operations (before allocation of overhead). This was accomplished by keeping costs
relatively flat while increasing year-on-year, new first-year orders (approximately $4,400,000 in
calendar year 2004, $5,300,000 in 2005 and $3,600,000 for the first nine months of 2006), as well,
as maintaining a high customer renewal rate (approximately 95% for calendar years 2004, 2005 and
the first nine months of 2006) of existing customers whose initial contracted service period had
expired. The Company expects the Email Encryption business to generate cash receipts in excess of
its specific operating costs in 2006 and beyond assuming continued addition of new subscribers at
historical rates and maintaining consistent subscriber renewal rates.
e-Prescribing The e-Prescribing service and corresponding market is significantly earlier in
its development phase when compared to Email Encryption; thus, the Company has chosen to spend
money in excess of the cash receipts to build an e-Prescribing subscription base with the target of
reaching a level of subscribers required to overcome the spending needed to profitably provide the
service. The Company currently estimates approximately 10,000 active users (subscribers) of the
e-Prescribing service are needed for these fixed costs to be overcome. The breakeven point will be
strongly influenced by the volume of electronic prescriptions written and the success in
negotiating additional and maintaining existing transaction-based fee structures. As of September
30, 2006, the Company had approximately 2,636 such active prescribers on the service. The Company
currently has the staff on hand to deploy an incremental 500 units per quarter and has a backlog of
approximately 1,400 sponsored, but not yet deployed units. Not all users to whom the e-Prescribing
service is deployed become active. Furthermore, the Company has experienced some attrition in its
deployed and active user base. The transaction-based fees, or usage fees, form an important part of
the e-Prescribing breakeven point mentioned above. The Company has resources tasked with securing
additional transaction-based revenue sources. The success of this effort will depend on market
acceptance for the services offered, as well as, having sufficient physicians deployed and active
to make the transaction and performance related services appealing to buyers.
The Company continues to closely monitor developments in the e-Prescribing market and will
adjust spending in that area commensurate with expected future returns. The extent and timing of
the Companys success (or lack thereof) in the e-Prescribing market will have significant impact on
liquidity. The extent to which the Company views the e-Prescribing market as attractive for
investment will determine the Companys willingness to fund additional operational cash losses if
required. The Company has the ability to adjust cash spending to react to any shortfalls in
projected cash.
33
As a result of the cost reduction measures undertaken thus far in 2006, relatively low
contractual future spending commitments, historically high customer renewals and continued growth
in the Email Encryption services consistent with past rates, cost containment ability in the emerging area of e-Prescribing,
general flexibility in discretionary spending, and the remaining
proceeds on hand from the equity private placement completed on April
5, 2006, (see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) the Company believes it
has adequate resources and liquidity to sustain operations for the twelve months from September 30,
2006, and is projecting cash flow improvements through cash receipt increases and cost reductions
to augment its liquidity beyond this time frame.
However, operating in emerging markets (e-Prescribing) and developing markets (Email
Encryption) involves risk and uncertainties, and there are no assurances that the Company will
ultimately achieve or achieve in a sufficiently timely manner its targeted improvements. Should
business results not improve sufficiently as projected, the Company could have to alter its
business plan or further augment its cash flow position through cost reduction measures, sales of
assets, additional financings if terms are acceptable or a combination of these actions. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in carrying out any of these
measures should they become necessary. The Company has expressed a lack of willingness, relative to
other alternatives, to raise capital by issuing new shares of common stock given the current price
of the Companys common stock. Accordingly, the extent and timing of success, or lack thereof, in
the e-Prescribing market and continued improvement in the
Companys Email Encryption business will ultimately be the most
significant operational determinants of liquidity.
Sources and Uses of Cash Summary
Ending cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2006, was $14,842,000 versus $20,240,000 on
December 31, 2005. These balances exclude restricted cash of $35,000 at September 30, 2006, and
$5,135,000 at December 31, 2005. Restricted cash is not available for operations because of
contractual restrictions placed on that cash. At December 31, 2005, the restriction was primarily
from placement of the cash in collateral accounts used to secure existing debt.
The following table shows various sources and uses of operating cash for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the net cash used by operating activities
improved $4,314,000 over the comparable period in 2005. Overall, the Email Encryption services
yielded positive cash flow from operations while e-Prescribing had negative cash flow from
operations. Cash flow from operations is a management measurement that excludes unallocated
overhead costs. Email Encryption has seen year-on-year improvement in cash flow because of
continued growth in new subscriptions and its high rate of customer renewals. The Company
anticipates that year-on-year Email Encryption cash flow improvement should continue as long as new
subscriptions and the rate of customer renewals are sustained. The early-stage market of
e-Prescribing makes the expected full-year cash usage for the Companys e-Prescribing service in
2006 less predictable. Improved cash utilization for the e-Prescribing service is dependent upon
securing new payor sponsorships, experiencing adequate renewal rates of existing users and
increasing the sources of cash from transaction and performance-based fees.
The Company announced in the second quarter of 2006 that it was in the process of reducing its
quarterly spending by way of a reduction in workforce and reductions in non-headcount related
areas. On August 8, 2006, the Company announced that the targeted cost reductions would be
increased to equal approximately a 25% reduction in quarterly spending when compared with the first
quarter of 2006. The purpose of these reductions is to streamline the Companys operating costs in
order to strengthen the Companys liquidity position by more closely matching its cost structure to
near-term revenue opportunities. As of November 1, 2006, the Company has substantially completed
the headcount reductions.
As reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, net cash flows provided by
investing activities was $4,087,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Of that total,
$1,024,000 was used to purchase various computing equipment primarily to satisfy customer
contracts. Most prevalent are purchases of computer servers for the Email Encryption business,
which are required to deliver the Companys services. The amount of additional spending on capital
equipment in 2006 is directly proportionate to the Companys success in securing new Email
Encryption business. Offsetting the cash used for capital
equipment was the release of $5,100,000 of restricted cash. The restricted cash was used to
pay off the remaining $5,000,000 of convertible debt in June 2006 (see Note 12 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements).
34
Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,385,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006. This is primarily related to payments totaling $5,596,000 made on various notes payable
offset by $10,981,000 (excluding $72,000 of accrued transaction costs) in net proceeds from a
private placement of the Companys common stock on April 5, 2006 (see Note 13 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements).
Cash Sources
The following items are essential to the Companys future operating cash sources:
|
|
|
contractual backlog |
|
|
|
|
Email Encryption growth and retention |
|
|
|
|
e-Prescribing growth and retention |
|
|
|
|
e-Prescribing transaction and performance-based fees |
Backlog The Companys end-user order backlog of $25,517,000 is comprised of contractually
bound customer agreements that are expected to be amortized into revenue as services are provided
in the future. The majority of these contracts are time-based subscription contracts with billings
in advance of annual service periods. Most customers elect to commit to multiple years of service
and are invoiced annually. The backlog is comprised of $9,421,000 of deferred revenue that has been
billed and paid and $16,096,000 that has either not yet been billed or has been billed but not
collected in cash as of September 30, 2006. The Company estimates that approximately half of the
amount not yet billed will be billed in the next twelve months.
Email
Encryption growth and retention The Company collected cash receipts of $14,119,000 in
the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. The Company estimates cash receipts from Email
Encryption in the next twelve months will be in the range between $18,500,000 and $19,500,000. This
would represent a $4,381,000 to $5,381,000 increase in gross cash receipts compared to the twelve
months just ended September 30, 2006. At the low end of this range, the Company assumes it will
collect contractually billed amounts, experience continued customer renewal rates of 95%, and
continue adding new first-year orders at the same rate demonstrated over the last twelve months.
Furthermore, should the Company achieve significant success in its new OEM/distribution strategy in
addition to new first-year order growth from traditional channels, the high end of the cash
receipts estimate could be reached or exceeded. The Company believes that these potential increases
in cash receipts can be achieved with minimal additional costs.
e-Prescribing growth and retention The Companys go-to-market model in e-Prescribing has
been to contract with healthcare payors who pay the Company to provide service to physicians for at
least one year. The Company has demonstrated selling and deployment success with this model with
seven major insurance payors. The Companys current list price for the first year of the service is
$2,000, which includes twelve months of service as well as set up fees, and a $600 per year fee for
service in subsequent years. The Company currently has a usage-based arrangement with one of the
payor sponsors, which provides for the payment of fees to the Company based on achievement of
measured improvements in prescribing behavior. The ability to have users actively using the
service, and thus, increase the likelihood of renewals and generate transaction fees, is an
important aspect of the Companys cash flow breakeven plan for e-Prescribing.
e-Prescribing transaction and performance-based fees The Companys go-to-market model in
e-Prescribing also involves securing additional fee-based contracts where customers pay for various
transactions that occur through the e-Prescribing service. For example, the Company has contracts
with pharmacy benefit managers and one electronic prescription aggregator for prescriptions that
are fulfilled through their system. Currently, the Company has contracts that can provide between 7
and 10 cents per prescription written using the service and the Company is receiving an average of
6 to 7 cents per script as of September 30, 2006. As the number of prescriptions increase, the
expected cash receipts increase. In most cases, there are multiple payors in each market and the
additional non-sponsorship payors are viewed as potential sources for additional fees in return for
certain services such as formulary display, drug-to-drug interaction checking and reporting.
Possible sources for additional transaction fees are from parties who could benefit from a real
time, electronic messaging capability with PocketScript users. Securing further transaction and
performance-based
revenue streams will be required so that the previously discussed target of 10,000 active
physician level will provide returns in excess of fixed costs of providing the e-Prescribing
service.
35
Cash Requirements
While the contractual commitments of the Company as of September 30, 2006, are relatively low
in comparison to historical cash used from operations, the Company anticipates further net cash
usage from operations over the next twelve months. The Companys cash requirements consist
principally of the Companys contractual commitments; funding its operating losses as it maintains
a leadership position in the emerging markets in which it operates; and capital expenditures. The
latter of which primarily involves computer equipment to support new Email Encryption customer
orders and, over time, ongoing refurbishment of the data center and customer-located Email
Encryption computer equipment. The Companys cash requirements beyond contractual commitments are
primarily aimed at continued investment in the e-Prescribing business.
The Company has acquisition costs associated with adding subscribers to both the Email
Encryption and e-Prescribing services. For Email Encryption, the costs are primarily selling and
marketing, while for e-Prescribing the costs are primarily recruitment and deployment related,
including hardware device costs. In the first year of the service, the Company generally targets
fees from the subscriber that cover the majority of the incremental acquisition costs. After the
first year of service, the incremental cost to support customers decreases significantly, which
increases the variable cash contribution to the Company as each contract matures. In addition, net
cash contributions from transaction-based fees are high as the incremental costs to support these
fees are minor. In the second and third quarters of 2006, the Company deployed the e-Prescribing
service to 445 and 460 prescribers, respectively. Future quarters with deployments greater than
these quantities will equate to greater variable costs offset with greater cash receipts from the
sponsors and lower deployments versus this current run rate would equate to lower variable costs
and cash receipts than recently experienced.
The Company is projecting its operating spending to be $33,000,000 to $34,000,000 inclusive of
capital equipment purchases for the next twelve months from September 30, 2006. This projection is
based on the Companys organization size after taking into account actions taken for the
aforementioned cost reductions, the current order and deployment rates and the annualized operating
spending.
Debt Instruments and Related Covenants
As more fully explained in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, as of
September 30, 2006, the Company has debt obligations relating to two separate arrangements:
1. Promissory Note Payable: $2,700,000
2. Short-term Promissory Note: $37,000
Promissory Note Payable Concurrent with the closing of the MyDocOnline acquisition,
Sanofi-Aventis loaned the Company $3,000,000 due March 15, 2007, with a stated annual interest rate
of 4.5%. Interest on the note is payable only in services provided by the Company to
Sanofi-Aventis, unless there is an event of default. The principal portion of the note is payable
in either cash or shares of the Companys common stock, based on the then-current value of such
shares, at the option of the Company and may be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty.
At the option of Sanofi-Aventis, the principal portion of the note may be paid in the form of
services provided to Sanofi-Aventis by the Company pursuant to the terms of such services
agreement. It is unlikely that the note will be paid in the form of services. Should the note not
be paid in the form of services, the Company is required to pay the note in cash or stock at
maturity at an amount equal to 90% of the face amount of the loan, or $2,700,000, which the Company
considers its minimum liability.
Short-term Promissory Notes In December 2005, the Company issued an 11-month note payable to
Cananwill to finance the Companys 2006 commercial insurance policies. The note matures in November
2006 and has a stated interest rate of 6.99%. Interest and principal payments are due in equal
monthly installments.
Liquidity Summary
Based on the Companys organization, cost reduction actions previously mentioned and current
order and deployment rates as of September 30, 2006, the operating spending plus capital asset
purchases for the next twelve months is projected to be $33,000,000 to
36
$34,000,000. Payment of the note payable to Aventis in cash (see Note 12 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements), should the Company choose to pay the note in cash versus
payment in the Companys common stock as allowed in the note, would increase these projected
spending amounts. Using flat year-on-year order rates for Email Encryption, consistent renewal
rates for subscribers, and a deployment rate consistent with the last two quarters in e-Prescribing,
cash receipts for the next twelve months are projected to be $26,750,000 to $28,000,000.
These cash receipt projections, when combined with $14,842,000 unrestricted cash on hand at
September 30, 2006, provide for an estimated $41,592,000 to $42,842,000 in cash available to fund
the expected operational spending of $33,000,000 to $34,000,000 for the next twelve months.
Based on
the foregoing projections, the Company believes it has adequate
resources and liquidity to sustain operations for the next twelve
months, beginning September 30, 2006.
However, operating in emerging and developing markets involves risk and
uncertainties, and there are no assurances that the Company will ultimately achieve or achieve in a timely manner its targeted
improvements in operating performance. Beyond the twelve months
beginning October 1, 2006, should business results not have
improved sufficiently as projected, the Company would have to alter its business plan or further augment its
cash flow position through cost reduction measures, sales of assets, additional financings or
a combination of these actions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be
successful in carrying out any of these measures should they become necessary. The Company has
expressed a lack of willingness, relative to other alternatives, to raise capital by issuing
new shares of common stock given the current price of the Companys common stock. Accordingly,
the extent and timing of success, or lack thereof, in the e-Prescribing market and continued
performance in Email Encryption will ultimately be the most significant operational determinants
of liquidity.
Options and Warrants of ZixCorp Common Stock
In 2004, and to a much lesser extent in 2005, the Company raised significant cash, from
individuals who held warrants and options in the Companys common stock as they exercised these
warrants and options. The Company continues to have significant warrants and options outstanding
that are currently vested. The extent of future cash inflow from additional warrant and option
activity is not certain. However, most of the outstanding options and warrants currently have
exercise prices in excess of the Companys current stock price, in some cases significantly so. The
following table summarizes the warrants and options that are outstanding as of September 30, 2006.
The vested shares are a subset of the outstanding shares. The value of the shares is the number of
shares multiplied by the exercise price for each share.

The Company has the option to pay $2,700,000 of the $2,737,000 notes payable and the entirety
of the $80,000 owed to John Ryan with the Companys common stock. The $2,700,000 relates to the
note payable to Sanofi-Aventis (see Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
The Company is currently evaluating the method it intends to use in paying the Aventis note,
meaning whether it will pay in cash, common stock or some combination of the two.
The Company has severance agreements with certain employees which would require the Company to
pay approximately $1,630,000 if all such employees separated from employment with the Company
following a change of control, as defined in the severance agreements.
Potential
payment of liquidated damages related to April 5, 2006 Private Placement As
discussed further in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the stock purchase
agreement requires the Company to register the common stock issued and the common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants. The stock purchase agreement also provides for liquidated damages to
the investors should the Company have failed to have the registration statement declared effective
in a specified period of time or if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the
registration statement for up to 23 months from the closing date. The liquidated damages amount is
2% of the total private placement proceeds for each month of non-compliance. The Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC and the SEC declared the registration statement effective in
May 2006. The registration statement remained effective as of September 30, 2006.
As of November 1, 2006, the maximum potential liquidated damages the Company would incur in
cash should the registration statement be declared ineffective in November 2006 and future attempts
to register the shares were to be unsuccessful is $3,781,000. This amount is calculated as the
months remaining that the registration is required to be maintained (16 months), multiplied by 2%,
multiplied by the total private placement proceeds before transaction costs ($11,817,000). The
Company has a historical record of numerous registrations being made effective and kept effective.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company did not experience any
material changes in market risk exposures with respect to its cash investments and marketable
securities that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the Companys 2005
Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K in Part II, item 7A which are incorporated by reference
into this Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September
30, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
See Item 1A. Risk Factors, Pending litigation section below and Note 16 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
(In these risk factors, we, us, our, and ZixCorp refer to Zix Corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries.)
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our common stock. If any of the
following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flow could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should also refer to
the other information set forth in this report, including our consolidated financial statements and
the related notes.
We have incurred significant operating losses in previous years and we continue to use
significant amounts of cash for our business operations, which could result in us having
insufficient cash to fund our operations under our current business plan.
We have incurred significant operating losses in previous years. Our PocketScript
e-Prescribing service operates in an emerging market and developing this business is costly.
Emerging-market businesses involve risks and uncertainties, and there are no assurances that we
will be successful in our efforts.
Our liquidity and capital resources remain limited. To date, our cash flow from operations has
not been sufficient to fund our on-going operations and we have relied on equity and debt
financings to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that our liquidity or capital resource
position would allow us to continue to pursue our current business strategy. As a result, without
achieving growth in our business along the lines we have projected,
we would have to alter our business plan or further augment
our cash flow position through cost reduction measures, sales of assets, additional financings or a
combination of these actions. One or more of these actions would likely substantially diminish the value
of our common stock.
The market may not broadly accept our Email Encryption and e-Prescribing solutions and
services, which would prevent us from operating profitably.
We must be able to achieve broad market acceptance for our Email Encryption and e-Prescribing
solutions and services, at a price that provides an acceptable rate of return relative to our
company-wide costs in order to operate profitably. We have not yet been able to do this. Our Email
Encryption service operates in a developing market. While this business segment has begun to yield
positive cash flow from operations, there are no assurances that it will yield sufficient cash flow
to overcome the negative cash flow from the e-Prescribing segment and our corporate overhead costs.
As noted, our PocketScript e-Prescribing service operates in an emerging market. There is no
assurance that this market will develop sufficiently to enable us to operate our PocketScript
business profitably. Furthermore, there is no assurance that any of our services will become
generally accepted or that they will be compatible with any standards that become generally
accepted, nor is there any assurance that enough paying users will ultimately be obtained to enable
us to operate these businesses profitably.
Failure to enter into additional or to maintain existing sponsorship agreements for our
PocketScript e-Prescribing service and generate other revenue opportunities from PocketScript could
harm our business.
Our PocketScript business has incurred significant operating losses. Through September 30,
2006, significant orders for our PocketScript e-Prescribing service came from sponsorship
agreements with healthcare payors. Under our payor-sponsorship business model, we deploy
PocketScript to the end-user physician and provide the end-user physician a subscription to use the
service in return for payments from the healthcare payor. These payments are in the form of
guaranteed payments from the healthcare payor or contingent payments that are based on
contractually specified performance metrics. In some cases, these contingent payments could
represent a substantial portion of the revenue opportunity under the contract. Substantially all of
the end-user physicians who are using the PocketScript service and for whom we are currently
recognizing revenue are doing so under a subscription arrangement that has
been paid for by a healthcare payor. If the healthcare payors fail to extend their
sponsorship, there is no assurance that the physicians will pay to continue to use the PocketScript
service.
39
In addition, we obtain revenue from prescription transaction fees from pharmacy benefit
managers and others with respect to the electronic prescriptions processed through our
e-Prescribing service. Increasing our active physician user base and increasing prescription
transaction and performance-based fees are critical to the success of our plan to achieve
profitability in our e-Prescribing business.
Failure to sign follow-on orders with additional healthcare payors from whom a significant
portion of our revenues are received or sign new sponsorship agreements with other payors in the
coming months, or generate significant revenue from contingent payments, or maintain and identify
other revenue opportunities for our e-Prescribing service, such as add-on applications or
prescription transaction fees, and/or new uses for the transaction data itself, will prevent us
from achieving significant revenues from our e-Prescribing service.
Healthcare providers may fail to adopt our PocketScript service.
Our PocketScript e-Prescribing service is targeted to the emerging market for providing secure
communications among healthcare providers to deliver information in an efficient, economical
manner. This is an emerging market, and the success of PocketScript is dependent, in large measure,
on physicians changing the manner in which they write prescriptions. Our challenge is to make this
new business attractive to physicians, and ultimately, profitable. To do so has required, and will
require, us to invest significant amounts of cash and other resources. There is no assurance that
enough paying users will ultimately be obtained to enable us to operate the PocketScript business
profitably.
End-users of our PocketScript service may not continue to use the service .
The Company currently estimates approximately 10,000 active users (subscribers) of the
e-Prescribing service are needed to cover its e-Prescribing fixed costs. As of September 30, 2006,
the Company had approximately 2,636 such active prescribers on the service. See Item 2,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity
and Capital Resources, Overview, e-Prescribing. Not all users to whom the e-Prescribing Service
is deployed will become active users. See Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Revenue Indicators Backlog, Orders, and
Deployments. Furthermore, the company has experienced attrition in its base of active users.
Thus, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve a sufficient number of active
users to build a successful e-Prescribing business.
Failure to significantly increase our base of PocketScript users or obtain significant
prescription transaction fees, or other fees may result in failure to achieve the critical mass of
physicians and revenue to build a successful business.
We incur significant up-front costs in connection with initially establishing our PocketScript
e-Prescribing service with the physician users. Under our current business model, third-party
payors typically pay all or a majority of the variable costs of initially establishing our
e-Prescribing service. Our plan is to obtain additional revenues in the form of recurring annual
subscription fees to use our e-Prescribing service, either paid by the third-party payors or the
physicians. In addition, we must obtain additional revenues from prescription transaction fees, or
other fees to operate this line of business profitably. Increasing our physician user base and
increasing prescription transaction fees, or generating other fees, are critical to the success of
this plan.
The preponderance of the prescription transaction fees that we currently receive are from two
pharmacy benefit managers, which manage the prescription benefits for their health plan customers,
and one electronic script aggregator, which receives scripts written by the physician user of our
PocketScript e-Prescribing service and transmits them via electronic data interchange to retail
pharmacies. Our contracts with these entities are short term, meaning that the other party could
cancel the contract and require us to renegotiate the contract at lower fee levels or on other
unfavorable terms and conditions. These unfavorable terms and conditions could increase our costs
and could require us to revise our business model.
In
sum, there is no assurance as to whether we will be able to maintain, or whether and how quickly we
will be able to increase our user base or prescription transaction fees or whether we will be able
to generate other fees to such a level that would enable this line of business to operate
profitably. If we are not successful in these endeavors, we could be required to revise our
business model, exit or reduce the scale of our-e-Prescribing business, or raise additional
capital.
40
Competition in our businesses is expected to increase, which could cause our business to fail.
Our Zix-branded solutions and services are targeted to the Email Encryption services market.
As the publics and governmental authorities awareness about the need for privacy and security of
electronic communications has increased over the past few years, an
increasing number of well-funded
competitors have entered the market. Companies that compete with our Zix-branded Email Encryption
business include content management and secure delivery companies, such as Tumbleweed
Communications Corp., and other secure delivery participants, such as Voltage Security, PostX, PGP
Corporation, Certified Mail, Authentica, Secure Computing and Sigaba Corporation. In addition, we
face competition from vendors of Internet server appliances, operating systems, networking
hardware, network management solutions, and security software, many of which now, or may in the
future, develop or bundle Email Encryption into their products.
Our PocketScript e-Prescribing service applies the benefits of e-messaging to the medical
prescription process by enabling providers to write and transmit prescriptions electronically
directly to the pharmacy. Competition is expected to increase as this emerging market continues to
develop and it becomes generally apparent that there are viable business models for commercial
success in this market. Participants in the e-Prescribing space include AllScripts Healthcare
Solutions, MedPlus, Dr. First, Inc., InstantDX LLC, and iScribe. Competition from these companies
and from vendors in related areas, such as electronic medical records vendors who are expected to
include e-Prescribing services as an element of their service offering is expected to increase.
We may face increased competition as these competitors partner with others or develop new
solution and service offerings to expand the functionality that they can offer to their customers.
Our competitors may, over time, develop new technologies that are perceived as being more secure,
effective, or cost efficient than our own. These competitors could successfully garner a
significant share of the market, to the exclusion of our company. Furthermore, increased
competition could result in pricing pressures, reduced margins, or the failure of our business to
achieve or maintain market acceptance, any one of which could harm our business.
Our inability to successfully execute timely development and introduction of new Email
Encryption and e-Prescribing services and related services and to implement technological changes
could harm our business.
The evolving nature of the Email Encryption and e-Prescribing businesses require us to
continually develop and introduce new and related solutions and services and to improve the
performance, features, and reliability of our existing solutions and services, particularly in
response to competitive offerings.
We have under development new feature sets for our Email Encryption and e-Prescribing
businesses. We may also introduce new services. The success of new or enhanced features and
services depends on several factors primarily market acceptance. We may not succeed in developing
and marketing new or enhanced features and services that respond to competitive and technological
developments and changing customer needs. This could harm our business.
Future asset impairments could affect our financial results.
On September 30, 2005, we sold our MyDocOnline service, Dr. Chart, a Web-based communication
tool that connects healthcare providers and hospital-based laboratories by allowing doctors to
initiate lab orders, check medical necessity compliance, and view results rapidly and accurately
using a secure Internet connection. The sale of the Dr. Chart service resulted in ZixCorp
recognizing a one-time, non-cash loss from the sale in the third quarter of 2005 totaling $4.8
million. The primary factor in determining the amount of the loss was the inclusion of the full
amount of goodwill associated with the purchase of MyDocOnline, totaling $4.8 million.
As of September 30, 2006, we have $2.2 million of goodwill on our balance sheet relating to
the Email encryption segment. Goodwill is evaluated at least on an annual basis or whenever there
is a reason to question if the goodwill values are impaired. We also have $3.3 million of property
and other long-lived assets. The carrying value of these assets are evaluated whenever there is
reason to question if the values are impaired. Future events could impact the valuation of goodwill
and long-lived assets. It is possible that we may incur further charges for other asset impairments
in the future as we evaluate the prospects of our various lines of business.
Capacity limits on our technology and network hardware and software may be difficult to
project, and we may not be able to expand and/or upgrade our systems to meet increased use, which
would result in reduced revenues.
While we have ample through-put capacity to handle our customers requirements for the medium
term, at some point we may be required to materially expand and/or upgrade our technology and
network hardware and software. We may not be able to accurately project the rate of increase in
usage of our network, particularly since we have significantly expanded our potential customer base
by
41
the growing use of our PocketScript service. In addition, we may not be able to expand and/or
upgrade our systems and network hardware and software capabilities in a timely manner to
accommodate increased traffic on our network. If we do not appropriately expand and/or upgrade our
systems and network hardware and software in a timely fashion, we may lose customers and revenues.
Security interruptions to our data centers could disrupt our business, and any security
breaches could expose us to liability and negatively impact customer demand for our solutions and
services.
Our business depends on the uninterrupted operation of our data centers currently, our
ZixData Center located in Dallas, Texas; and the Austin, Texas, data center used for fail-over and
business continuity services. We must protect these centers from loss, damage, or interruption
caused by fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, or other events beyond our control. Any
damage or failure that causes interruptions in our data centers operations could materially harm
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In addition, our ability to issue digitally-signed certified time-stamps and public encryption
codes in connection with our Zix-branded solutions and services and to support the e-Prescribing
service depends on the efficient operation of the Internet connections between customers and our
data centers. We depend on Internet service providers efficiently operating these connections.
These providers have experienced periodic operational problems or outages in the past. Any of these
problems or outages could adversely affect customer satisfaction.
Furthermore, it is critical that our facilities and infrastructure remain secure and the
market perceives them to be secure. Despite our implementation of network security measures, our
infrastructure may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers, and
similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. In addition, we are
vulnerable to coordinated attempts to overload our systems with data, resulting in denial or
reduction of service to some or all of our users for a period of time. We do not carry insurance to
compensate us for losses that may occur as a result of any of these events; therefore, it is
possible that we may have to use additional resources to address these problems.
Secure messages sent through our ZixPort and ZixMessage Center messaging portals, in
connection with the operation of our Email Encryption services, include personal healthcare
information as well as personal financial information. This information will reside, for a
user-specified period of time, in our secure data center network; and individual prescription
histories transmitted through our e-Prescribing system and other personally identifiable healthcare
information will reside in our secure data center network indefinitely. Federal and state laws
impose significant financial penalties for unauthorized disclosure of personal information.
Exposure of this information, resulting from any physical or electronic break-ins or other security
breaches or compromises of this information, could expose us to significant liability, and
customers could be reluctant to use our Internet-related services.
Pending litigation could have a material impact on our operating results and financial
condition.
Beginning in early September 2004, several purported shareholder class action lawsuits were
filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, against us
and certain of our current and former officers and directors. The purported class action lawsuits
seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of purchasers of ZixCorps common stock between October
30, 2003 and May 4, 2004. The purported shareholder class action lawsuits allege that the
defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions in violation of
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act),
during this time period. These several class action lawsuits have been consolidated into one case.
The Companys motion to dismiss the consolidated lawsuits pursuant to Rules 9(b) and 12(b)(6)
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act was denied in September 2006 by the court before whom the matter is pending. Accordingly, the consolidated class
action is proceeding in due course.
Also, three purported shareholder derivative lawsuits have been filed against us and certain
of our current and former officers and directors. These derivative lawsuits were filed in September
2004, October 2005 and November 2005. The purported shareholder derivative lawsuits relate to the
allegedly materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions that are the subject of the
purported shareholder class action lawsuits. The derivative lawsuits name ZixCorp as a nominal
defendant and as actual defendants the individuals named in the purported shareholder class action
lawsuits mentioned above and others. The suits seek to require ZixCorp to initiate legal action for
unspecified damages against the individual defendants named in the purported shareholder class
action lawsuits. The suits also allege breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, insider
selling, and misappropriation of information; and seek contribution and indemnification against the
individual defendants.
These lawsuits may require significant management time and attention and could result in
significant legal expenses. While we believe these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend
them vigorously, we are unable to predict the scope or outcome of these
42
matters and quantify their eventual impact, if any, on our company. An unfavorable outcome
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flow, and financial
condition. We maintain insurance that may limit our financial exposure for defense costs and
liability for an unfavorable outcome, should we not prevail, for claims covered by the insurance
coverage.
We may have to defend our rights in intellectual property that we use in our services, which
could be disruptive and expensive to our business.
We may have to defend our intellectual property rights or defend against claims that we are
infringing the rights of others. Intellectual property litigation and controversies are disruptive
and expensive. Infringement claims could require us to develop non-infringing services or enter
into royalty or licensing arrangements. Royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may not be
obtainable on terms acceptable to us. Our business could be significantly harmed if we are not able
to develop or license the necessary technology. Furthermore, it is possible that others may
independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property, thus enabling them to
effectively compete against us.
Defects or errors in our services could harm our business.
We subject our solutions and services to quality assurance testing prior to release.
Regardless of the quality assurance testing, any of our solutions could contain undetected defects
or errors. In particular, our PocketScript system is used to transmit prescriptions. Defects or
errors in our PocketScript system could result in inaccurate prescriptions being generated, which
could result in injury or death to patients. Undetected defects or errors could result in loss of
or delay in revenues, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources,
injury to our reputation, litigation claims, increased insurance costs, or increased service and
warranty costs. Any one of these could prevent us from implementing our business model and
achieving the revenues we need to operate profitably.
Public key cryptography technology is subject to risks.
Our Zix-branded solutions and services and the e-Prescribing service employ, and future
solutions and services may employ, public key cryptography technology. With public key cryptography
technology, a public key and a private key are used to encrypt and decrypt messages. The security
afforded by this technology depends, in large measure, on the integrity of the private key, which
is dependent, in part, on the application of certain mathematical principles. The integrity of the
private key is predicated on the assumption that it is difficult to mathematically derive the
private key from the related public key. Should methods be developed that make it easier to derive
the private key, the security of encryption services using public key cryptography technology would
be reduced or eliminated and such services could become unmarketable. This could require us to make
significant changes to our services, which could increase our costs, damage our reputation, or
otherwise hurt our business. Moreover, there have been public reports of the successful decryption
of certain encrypted messages. This or related publicity could adversely affect public perception
of the security afforded by public key cryptography technology, which could harm our business.
We depend on key personnel.
We depend on the performance of our senior management team including our Chairman, CEO,
President and COO, Richard D. Spurr, and his direct reports and other key employees, particularly
highly skilled technical personnel. Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain, and
motivate these individuals. There are no binding agreements with any of our employees that prevent
them from leaving our company at any time. There is competition for these personnel. In addition,
we do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our personnel. The loss of the services of
any of our key employees or our failure to attract, retain, and motivate key employees could harm
our business.
We rely on third parties.
If critical services and products that we source from third parties were to no longer be made
available to us or at a considerably higher price than we currently pay for them, and suitable
alternatives could not be found, our business could be harmed.
For certain elements of our service offerings, we sometimes rely on the products and services
of third parties under contracts. In particular, we currently rely on one third party to supply the
hand held device primarily used by the prescribing physician users of our e-prescribing service.
Those third parties are not under our control beyond the terms of their agreements and, therefore,
should they elect to withhold their products or services or significantly raise their prices, we
could be damaged financially in lower returns on sales and a lessening of competitive advantages if
suitable alternatives could not be found in a reasonable period of time.
We could be affected by government regulation.
Exports of software solutions and services using encryption technology, such as our Email
Encryption Services, are generally restricted by the U.S. government. Although we have obtained
U.S. government approval to export our solutions and services to
43
almost all countries, the list of countries to which our solutions and services cannot be
exported could be revised in the future. Furthermore, some countries impose restrictions on the use
of encryption solutions and services, such as ours. Failure to obtain the required governmental
approvals would preclude the sale or use of our solutions and services in international markets and
therefore, harm the Companys ability to grow sales through expansion into international markets.
Furthermore, boards of pharmacy in the various states in which our e-Prescribing business
operates regulate the process by which physicians write prescriptions. While regulations in the
states in which our e-Prescribing business currently operates generally permit the electronic
writing of prescriptions, such regulations could be revised in the future. Moreover, regulations in
states in which our e-Prescribing business does not currently operate may not be as favorable and
may impede our ability to develop business in these states.
The federal government has recently adopted final regulations to create an exception to the
prohibition on physicians referrals to healthcare entities with which they have financial
relationships for certain electronic prescribing arrangements, to be codified at 42 C.F.R.
§411.357(v), and an exception to the related federal health care anti-kickback rules for certain
electronic prescribing arrangements, to be codified at 42 C.F.R. §1001.952(x). The purpose of the
regulations is to encourage physicians to use electronic prescribing systems to create and deliver
prescriptions to the pharmacy. The regulations seek to accomplish this purpose by creating certain
safe harbors that are intended to encourage health care entities, such as health insurance
companies and hospitals, to provide financial incentives to physicians to use electronic
prescribing systems. There is no assurance that the regulations will actually encourage the use of
electronic prescribing systems. Furthermore, the regulations could provide other participants in
the market a competitive advantage or could have currently unforeseen consequences that harm our
business.
Also, future state or federal regulation could mandate standards for the electronic writing of
prescriptions or for the secure electronic transmittal of personal health information through the
Internet that our technology and systems do not comply with, which would require us to modify our
technology and systems. Many of these standards are currently being pilot tested in their initial
form and may be subject to change, accelerated compliance restrictions or select
re-implementations, based on resulting industry recommendations. The costs of compliance could be
substantial.
Our
stock price may be volatile and we may forfeit our NASDAQ listing.
The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past and is likely to
fluctuate in the future. To maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, where the shares of
the Companys common stock are currently traded, the closing bid price of the Companys common
stock cannot fall below $1.00 per share for a specified number of trading days and the market
value of the Companys outstanding shares cannot fall below $50 Million for a specified number of
trading days. In September 2006, as previously announced, the Company received notice from NASDAQ
that it had failed to meet these requirements and that the Companys securities could potentially
be de-listed from NASDAQ if these requirements were not met within specified time periods. As
previously announced, the Company met these requirements within the specified time periods and has
thus cured the non-compliance. However, there is no assurance that the Company s common stock
will continue to trade at prices that will permit the Company to be successful in maintaining its
NASDAQ listing.
Furthermore, our stock price may decrease as a result of the dilutive effect caused by the
additional number of shares that may become available in the market due to the issuances of our
common stock in connection with the capital funding and acquisition transactions we completed over
the last few years. As of October 13, 2006, there was a reported short position in our common stock
of 2,414,157 shares, which may affect the volatility of our stock price.
We have a significant amount of stock options and warrants outstanding and may issue
additional equity securities in the future. Exercise of the outstanding options and warrants, and
future issuances of other securities will dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders.
In January 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets and business of MyDocOnline,
Inc., a subsidiary of Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and a provider of secure Web-based
communications, disease management, and laboratory information solutions. In connection with the
acquisition, Aventis Inc. loaned us $3.0 million, which amount may be prepaid by us at our
discretion and is due and payable on March 15, 2007. The principal portion of the note may be
re-paid, subject to certain limitations, at our option, using shares of our common stock (valued at
the time of the re-payment). If re-paid using shares of our common stock on March 15, 2007, the
note is payable at 90% of the principal amount owing ($2,700,000). Using the closing price of our
common stock on November 1, 2006, of $1.13 per share, the number of shares that would be issuable
to the note principal would be 2,389,381.
44
We have outstanding warrants and options, including options held by our employees, covering
approximately 23 million shares of our common stock with exercise prices ranging from $1.42 to
$57.60.
The issuances of shares of common stock in respect of the Aventis promissory note and these
warrants and options would result in a substantial voting dilution of our current shareholders. Any
sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion or redemption of the
note or exercise of the warrants and options could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our
common stock.
In the future, we may determine to seek additional capital funding or to acquire additional
businesses, which could involve the issuance of one or more types of equity securities, including
convertible debt, common and convertible preferred stock, and warrants to acquire common or
preferred stock. Such equity securities could be issued at or below the then-prevailing market
price of our common stock. In addition, we motivate our employees and attract new employees by
issuing shares of our common stock and options to purchase shares of our common stock. The interest
of our existing shareholders may be diluted by any equity securities issued in capital funding
financings or business acquisitions and would be diluted by any such future share issuances and
stock option grants to employees.
Finally, as a result of the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants described above, we may
be obligated to register with the SEC additional shares of common stock issuable to the warrant
holders for public resale.
The Company may be required to pay liquidated damages in the event one or more of the
registration statements it has filed with the SEC for the benefit of third parties ceases to be
effective.
The Company has filed a number of registration statements with the SEC for the benefit of
third parties. These registration statements permit the public resale of the Companys common stock
or options or warrants to purchase the Companys common stock held by these parties. In some cases,
the Company would be required to pay liquidated damages to the third parties if the Company fails
to maintain the effectiveness of the relevant registration statement for the contractually required
period of time. The amount of damages the Company would be required to pay could be substantial, as
a percentage of the Companys cash on hand, depending on when the registration statement ceased to
be effective. See, for example, Note 13 to the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements, regarding the potential payment of liquidated damages related to April 5, 2006 Private
Placement.
We may have liability for indemnification claims arising from the sale of our Web Inspector,
Message Inspector, and Dr. Chart(R) product lines.
We disposed of our Web Inspector and Message Inspector product lines in March 2005 and our Dr.
Chart product line in September 2005. In selling those products, we agreed to provide customary
indemnification to the purchasers of those businesses for breaches of representations and
warranties, covenants, and other specified matters. Indemnification claims could be asserted
against us with respect to these matters.
