See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. -6- VASCO DATA SECURITY INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VASCO Data Security International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "VASCO") and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION At September 30, 2003, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan using the intrinsic method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation is reflected in net income, as all options granted to employees under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On July 8, 2003, effective as of July 1, 2003, VASCO sold its VACMAN Enterprise ("VME") business, originally known as Intellisoft and/or Snareworks, to SecureD Services, Inc. (SSI). Under the terms of the agreement, VASCO received a senior secured promissory note with a face value of approximately $1.1 million, valued at $1.0 million by an independent valuation firm, and $2 million of Convertible Preferred Stock from SSI, valued at $0.6 million by an independent valuation firm, in exchange for the VACMAN Enterprise assets. The promissory note bears a 6% interest rate and is payable in 36 equal and consecutive monthly payments. The Preferred Stock includes a 6% cumulative stock dividend, payable quarterly, and can be converted into SSI's common stock at defined intervals beginning July 1, 2005. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144 " Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the assets and liabilities of this business unit have been disaggregated from the operational assets and liabilities of the Company. The results of the operations of VME for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2003 have been reported as results of discontinued operations. Prior periods have been restated to conform to this presentation. Assets of and liabilities related to discontinued operations included in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows: December 31, September 30, 2002 2003 -------------- --------------- Accounts receivable $ 10,724 $ -- Prepaid expenses 12,612 -- Property and equipment, net 132,325 -- -------------- --------------- $ 155,661 $ -- ============== =============== Accounts payable $ 852 $ -- Deferred revenue 75,721 -- Other accrued expenses 31,070 42,775 -------------- --------------- $ 107,643 $ 42,775 ============== =============== -8- Income from discontinued operations is as follows:

Included in the gain on sale of discontinued operations are $29,000 and $149,000 of costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, related to the sale of the business unit. NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On July 15, 2003, the Company reached an agreement with Ubizen N.V. ("Ubizen") whereby VASCO purchased and redeemed all of the VASCO Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and Common Stock Purchase Warrants owned by Ubizen. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $3 million to Ubizen and issued 2 million shares of the Company's Common Stock on July 25, 2003. Using the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on July 25, 2003, the value of the stock issued was $4,000,000. An additional $1 million will be paid to Ubizen on or before November 14, 2003. The Common Stock issued by the Company is subject to a lock-up period wherein the lock-up will expire in increments of 500,000 shares each on October 15, 2003, January 15, 2004, April 15, 2004 and July 15, 2004. Once the lock-up expires, the shares will be subject to volume trading restrictions through January 1, 2005. On September 11, 2003, the Company sold 800 shares of its Series D 5% Cumulative Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") and 600,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock carries a 5% dividend, is convertible into 4 million shares of Common Stock at a fixed price of $2.00 per share and will vote with the Common Stock as a class on matters presented to the stockholders. The implied value of the Series D Preferred Stock was $5,714,000, calculated based upon the annual dividend rate divided by a required rate of return. The warrants are exercisable, over a five-year period, at $3.47 per share and were valued at $1,455,000 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Of the net proceeds from the sale, $5,831,000 was allocated to the Series D Preferred Stock and $1,485,000 was allocated to the warrants based upon their relative fair values. In addition, a beneficial conversion value was calculated for the Series D Preferred Stock as the difference between the price of the Company's Common Stock at the transaction date and the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock. The amount of the beneficial conversion, $3,720,000, is analogous to a dividend and was recorded to retained earnings. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company issued 25,625 shares of Common Stock as a result of the exercise of options under the Company's stock option plan generating total proceeds of $48,082. -9- NOTE 5 - SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS INFORMATION

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning, among other things, the prospects, developments and business strategies for the Company and its operations, including the development and marketing of certain new products and the anticipated future growth in certain markets in which the Company currently markets and sells its products or anticipates selling and marketing its products in the future. These forward-looking statements (i) are identified by their use of such terms and phrases as "expected," "expects," "believe," "believes," "will," "anticipated," "emerging," "intends," "plans," "could," "may," "estimates," "should," "objective," and "goals" and (ii) are subject to risks and uncertainties and represent the Company's present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including (a) risks of general market conditions, including demand for the Company's products and services, competition and price levels and the Company's historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers, and (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, changing government regulations and potential competition from more established firms and others. Therefore, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results included in, or implied by these statements. -10- COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Results of prior periods have been restated to report the results from the VACMAN Enterprise business as a discontinued operation. Revenues Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $5,599,000, an increase of $859,000, or 18%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $16,670,000, an increase of $2,691,000, or 19%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in revenues for both the three and nine months periods were attributable to growth in both the Banking and Corporate Network Access markets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, revenues by target market were 75% from Banking and 25% from Corporate Network Access. This compares with 83% of revenues from Banking and 17% from Corporate Network Access in the first nine months of the prior year. Geographically, 85% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were from Europe, 7% from the U.S. and 8% from other countries, primarily in the Asia/Pacific region. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, 84% of the revenues were from Europe, 7% from the U.S. and 9% from other countries, primarily in the Asia/Pacific region. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $2,146,000 and $6,728,000, respectively, an increase of $85,000, or 4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002 and an increase of $792,000 or 13% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in both periods was due to the increase in sales as described previously. Gross Profit The Company's gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $3,453,000, an increase of $774,000, or 29%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. This represents a gross margin of 62%, as compared to 57% for the same period of 2002. The increase in gross profit is due to increased revenues for the period as well as an improvement in the gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the quarter. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects an increase in revenue from the Corporate Network Access market segment as a percentage of total revenue compared to the prior period. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is higher in the Corporate Network Access market segment than in the Banking market segment. The Company's gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $9,942,000, an increase of $1,899,000, or 24%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This represents a gross margin of 60%, as compared to 58% for the same period of 2002. The increase in gross profit is due to increased revenues for the period as well as an improvement in the gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the quarter. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects an increase in the Corporate Network Access market segment as a percentage of total revenue compared to the prior period. Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and Marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $1,579,000, a decrease of $247,000, or 14% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The reduction in -11- expense reflects reductions in expenses related to personnel and spending in most discretionary areas, including but not limited to trade shows, publicity, recruiting, and travel, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in currency. Average headcount dedicated to sales and marketing declined from 50 to 46 from the third quarter of 2002 to the third quarter of 2003. Sales and Marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $4,589,000, a decrease of $1,152,000, or 20% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The reduction in expense for the nine-month period compared to the same period in the prior year reflects the same factors as noted above for the third quarter. Research and Development Research and Development (R&D) costs for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $747,000, an increase of $96,000, or 15%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in expense reflects an increase in the headcount dedicated to R&D activities and the unfavorable impact of changes in currency partially offset by lower spending on third party contractors. Total headcount dedicated to R&D increased from 15 at September 30, 2002 to 19 at September 30, 2003. R&D costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $2,064,000, an increase of $21,000, or 1%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in expense for the nine-month period compared to the same period in prior year reflects the same factors as noted above for the third quarter. General and Administrative Expenses General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $1,037,000, a decrease of $140,000, or 12%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The reduction in expense reflects reductions in expenses related to spending in most discretionary areas, including but not limited to contract services, travel, rent, and telephone, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in currency. There were 10 persons dedicated to administration at the end of the third quarter in both 2002 and 2003. General and Administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $2,492,000, a decrease of $692,000, or 22%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The reduction in expense for the nine-month period compared to the same period in the prior year reflects the same factors as noted above for the third quarter. Interest Expense, Net Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $22,000, compared to $45,000 for the same period in 2002. This change was due, in part, to an improvement in average net cash balances. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $120,000, compared to $238,000 for the same period in 2002. Interest expense for 2002 included interest on the settlement of Value Added Tax returns filed in Belgium for prior years. Other Income, Net Net other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $5,000 compared to net other expense of $70,000 for the same period in 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net other income was $376,000 compared to net other expense of $116,000 for the same period in 2002. These -12- changes are primarily due to transaction gains reported by our foreign operations as a result of the U.S. dollar weakening against the Euro. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $225,000 compared to no income tax expense for the same period in 2002. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $489,000 compared to $140,000 of income tax expense for the same period in 2002. The increase in both the three- and nine-month periods reflects the increase in taxable income of our Belgian operating entity in the first nine months of 2003. Discontinued Operations Operating loss from discontinued operations, the VACMAN Enterprise business unit ("VME"), for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $7,000 as compared to operating income of $212,000 for the same period in 2002. This reduction in operating income reflects the sale of operations of VME effective July 1, 2003. Operating income from VME was $597,000 and $746,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decline in operating income is primarily attributed to a decline in revenues. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $5,524,000 at September 30, 2003, which is an increase of approximately $2,908,000 or 111% from $2,616,000 at December 31, 2002. The increase in cash was a result of a positive operating cash flow, a reduction in days sales outstanding in net accounts receivable and the sale of Series D Preferred Stock and warrants. The sale of the Series D Preferred Stock resulted in net proceeds of approximately $7,316,000, of which $3,604,000 was used to repay the Dexia Loan, including accrued interest of $204,000. Earnings, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from continuing operations were $320,000 and $1,951,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, (unaudited) September 30, (unaudited) ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2002 2003 2002 2003 ------------- ----------- ------------- ------------ EBITDA from continuing operations $ (698,000) $ 320,000 $(2,094,000) $1,951,000 Interest expense, net 45,000 22,000 238,000 120,000 Tax provision -- 225,000 140,000 489,000 Depreciaton and amortization 278,000 267,000 913,000 817,000 ------------- ----------- ------------- ------------ Net income (loss) from continuing operations $(1,021,000) $(194,000) $(3,385,000) $ 525,000 ============= =========== ============= ============
EBITDA is used by management for comparisons to other companies within our industry as an alternative to generally accepted accounting principles measures and is used by investors and analysts in evaluating performance. EBITDA from continuing operations is computed by adding back net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to net income (loss) from continuing operations as reported. EBITDA -13- should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA, as defined above, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Days sales outstanding in net accounts receivable declined from 74 days at December 31, 2002 to 45 days at September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003, the Company had an overdraft agreement in place with Fortis Bank, secured by the Company's trade accounts receivable, wherein the Company could borrow up to 2,000,000 Euros. Based on receivable balances as of September 30, 2003, borrowing under the overdraft agreement was limited to 1,520,000 Euros. There were no borrowings outstanding under the overdraft agreement at September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had working capital of $4,653,000 compared with a deficit of $586,000 at December 31, 2002. Working capital at December 31, 2002 included the $3,400,000 term loan due to Dexia Bank, which was repaid on September 30, 2003, as a current liability. On July 15, 2003, VASCO reached an agreement with Ubizen whereby VASCO purchased and redeemed all of its Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants owned by Ubizen. Under the terms of this purchase agreement, VASCO paid $3 million to Ubizen and issued 2 million shares of VASCO Common Stock on July 25, 2003. An additional $1,000,000 will be paid to Ubizen on or before November 14, 2003. On September 11, 2003, the Company sold $8,000,000 of its Series D Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock. The net proceeds were approximately $7,316,000. The proceeds were used to repay the debt to Dexia, including accrued interest, and replenish working capital used to repurchase the Series C Preferred Stock from Ubizen. The Company believes that its current cash balances, credit available under our existing overdraft agreement, the anticipated cash generated from operations, including the realization of deferred revenue recorded as a current liability, and deposits that will be received in future quarters on orders of our Digipass product will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs over the next twelve months. There is substantial risk, however, that the Company may not be able to achieve its revenue and cash goals. If the Company does not achieve those goals, it may need to significantly reduce its workforce, sell certain of its assets, enter into strategic relationships or business combinations, discontinue some or all of its operations, or take other similar restructuring actions. While the Company expects that these actions would result in a reduction of recurring costs, they also may result in a reduction of recurring revenues and cash receipts. It is also likely that the Company would incur substantial non-recurring costs to implement one or more of these restructuring actions. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. For additional information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within -14- the time periods required by the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. On July 9, 2003 the Shareholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon elected the following individuals as Directors of the Company (total shares eligible to vote were 28,389,484; total shares voted were 21,222,287): Name For Against Abstain T. Kendall Hunt 21,009,783 - 212,504 Michale Cullinane 21,180,275 - 42,012 Forrest D. Laidley 20,997,099 - 225,188 Michael A. Mulshine 21,039,775 - 182,512 John R. Walter 21,183,375 - 38,912 There were 2,761,855 broker non-votes for the matter. On October 15, 2003, the holders of the requisite percentage of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock consented in writing to an amendment of the voting terms of the Series D Preferred Stock to decrease the number of votes to which each such stockholder is entitled prior to conversion of their Series D Preferred Stock. As a result of the amendment, instead of each share of Series D Preferred Stock voting as 5,000 shares of Common Stock (based on the $2.00 conversion rate), each will vote as 3,413 shares (based on the $2.93 closing market price on September 11, 2003) on all matters submitted to the stockholders for approval. No change was made to the conversion price or other terms of the Series D Preferred Stock. ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K. .

In connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the

Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2003 (the "Report"), I, T. Kendall
