PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Overview
Identiv is a global security technology company that establishes trust in the connected world, including premises, information
and everyday items. Our motto is “Trust Your World.” Global organizations in the government, education, retail, transportation,
healthcare and other markets rely upon our trust solutions to do exactly that by reducing risk, achieving compliance and protecting
brand identity.
At the beginning of September 2013, as more fully discussed in the “Recent Developments in our Business” section below, we
undertook a strategic review of our business and initiated a series of actions to simplify our business structure and streamline our
operations. As a result of these changes, we have put in place a new organizational structure, enhanced and broadened our
management team, and are now doing business as “Identiv.” We obtained stockholder approval to amend our certificate of
incorporation and officially change the name of the Company at our 2014 annual meeting on May 22, 2014. Our common stock is
listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the U.S. under the symbol “INVE.”
At the end of fiscal year 2013, we operated in two segments, “Identity Management Solutions & Services” (“Identity
Management”) and “Identification Products & Components” (“ID Products”). Following the changes in our organizational structure,
we changed our operating segments to focus on our trust solutions:
Trust for Premises solution secures buildings via an integrated access control system.
Trust for Information solution secures enterprise information including PCs, networks, email encryption, login, and
printers via delivery of smart card reader products and identity management via our idOnDemand service.
Trust for everyday items solution secures everyday connected items, including electronic toys, medical devices,
wearables and other internet of things applications
The foundation of our trust solutions is a single, universal identity credential that can be used to trust any resource — premises,
information, or everyday item — delivered securely and easily from our idOnDemand service. Because this solution is offered through
the cloud, customers can access the service at any time from a secure web portal to issue, manage or revoke credentials, without the
complexity and cost of internal deployments.
To deliver these solutions, the Company reorganized its operations into four reportable business segments in the first quarter of
2014 principally by product families: Premises, Identity, Credentials and All Other. As a result of the change, product families and
services were organized within the following four segments:
Premises
Our uTrust premises products offerings include MX controllers, Velocity management software and Touch Secure (“TS”) door
readers. Our modular uTrust MX controllers are designed to be scalable, allowing customers to start with a small system and expand
over time. uTrust MX controllers can operate autonomously, whether as a single controller or as part of a networked system with
Velocity software. The uTrust Velocity software platform enables centralized management of access and security operations across an
organization, including control of doors, gates, turnstiles, elevators and other building equipment, monitoring users as they move
around a facility, preventing unwanted access, maintaining compliance and providing a robust audit trail. uTrust door readers provide
unique features to support a number of security environments and standards. For example, uTrust TS readers support the majority of
legacy card credentials with a robust next-generation platform that can help companies migrate to more secure credentials and
technologies, including smart cards, near field communication (“NFC”) and government-issued credentials. uTrust
Scramblepad readers employ numerical scrambling on the keypad to protect access codes from being stolen as they are entered.
Identity
Our Identity products include uTrust readers - a broad range of contact, contactless, portable and mobile smart card readers,
tokens and terminals that are utilized around the world to enable logical (i.e., PC, network or data) access and security and
identification applications, such as national ID, payment, e-Health and e-Government.
The Identity products also include our idOnDemand service. idOnDemand can be used to provision (i.e., create and issue) and
manage identity credentials through a cloud based service. Customers can access the service at any time from a secure web portal to
issue, manage or revoke credentials, without the complexity and cost of internal deployments.
5
Credentials
The fastest-growing products in our portfolio are credentials: NFC and radio frequency identification (“ RFID”) products —
including inlays and inlay-based cards — labels, tags and stickers, as well as other radio frequency (“RF”) and IC components. These
products are manufactured in our state-of-the-art facility in Singapore and are used in a diverse range of identity-based applications,
including electronic entertainment, loyalty schemes, mobile payment, transit and event ticketing. In addition Identiv provides a
comprehensive range of user credentials under the uTrust brand, used for Premises and Information solutions access.
Leveraging our expertise in RFID and NFC technology, identity management, mobility and cloud services, we are developing
new products to provide trust for everyday connected items, also known as the “Internet of Things.”
All Other
The All Other segment includes products, including Chipdrive and Media readers. The products included in the All Other
segment do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and therefore have been combined for reporting
purposes.
We reported our financial results under these operating segments beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
first quarter of 2014, with comparative results under these operating segments for 2013.
We primarily conduct our own sales and marketing activities in each of the markets in which we compete, utilizing our own
sales and marketing organization to solicit prospective channel partners and customers, provide technical advice and support with
respect to products, systems and services, and manage relationships with customers, distributors and/or original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”). We utilize indirect sales channels that may include OEMs, dealers, systems integrators, value added
resellers, resellers or Internet sales, although we also sell directly to end users. In support of our sales efforts, we participate in
industry events and conduct sales training courses, targeted marketing programs, and ongoing customer, channel partner and third-
party communications programs.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Fremont, California. We maintain research and development facilities in California,
Chennai, India and Australia and local operations and sales facilities in Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the
U.S. We were founded in 1990 in Munich, Germany and incorporated in 1996 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Reverse Stock Split
On May 22, 2014, the shareholders approved, and we filed a certificate of amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware effecting, a one-for-ten reverse split of our common stock, par value
$0.001 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of our common stock, our authorized shares
of common stock or preferred stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, our issued shares of common stock decreased
from approximately 80 million to approximately 8 million shares, all with a par value of $0.001. We have no outstanding shares of
preferred stock. All share, per share and stock option information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto have been restated for all periods to reflect the Reverse Stock Split
Our Strategy
In September 2013, our Board of Directors appointed Jason Hart as our chief executive officer (“CEO”). Mr. Hart is a 20-year
veteran of the security industry and the founder and former CEO of our idOnDemand subsidiary. Following Mr. Hart’s appointment,
we undertook a strategic review of our business and initiated a series of actions to simplify our business structure and streamline our
operations.
Organizational Restructuring
The first of these actions was to realign our organizational structure to operate as a single, unified company rather than as a
group of individual businesses. This change in our structure enhances our ability to coordinate and focus our strategic and operational
activities. To signal this change, we implemented a new corporate identity using the word mark and logo “Identiv” in place of
“Identive Group.” We also reorganized our management team and our operational activities by function (e.g., engineering, sales,
marketing, customer service and information technology), allowing centralized management of key activities on a global basis. With
the reorganization of and changes to our management team, we moved our executive headquarters to Fremont, California and began
the process of moving our operational and certain administrative activities from Ismaning, Germany to our facility in Santa Ana,
California.
6
Recent Dispositions
Another important action was the divestiture of businesses that were determined to be non-core to our ongoing strategy. In
December 2013 we completed the sale of our Multicard and payment solution AG subsidiaries in Europe. In February 2014 we
completed the sale of our Rockwest Technology Group, Inc. d/b/a/ Multicard US (“Multicard US”) subsidiary to the founders and
former owners of the Multicard US business. The sale of the Multicard US subsidiary was made pursuant to a Share Purchase
Agreement dated January 21, 2014 whereby the Company agreed to sell 80.1% of the shares of its holdings in Multicard US. On June
30, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase agreement with a former employee to sell certain non-core assets consisting of
inventory, some prepaid items, certain fully depreciated office equipment and certain intellectual property (“Non-Core Assets”)
relating to one of its subsidiaries. The sale of these Non-Core Assets was completed on July 7, 2014. We believe these divestitures
enhance our ability to focus our resources and investments on higher-growth and more profitable opportunities in the security
technology market. We have accounted for these divested businesses as discontinued operations, and the statements of operations for
all periods presented reflect the discontinuance of these businesses. For more information, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the accompanying Financial Statements to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market Strategy
Our corporate priority in 2015 is to drive revenue growth by leveraging our core expertise from our existing product portfolio
with a focus on cloud and mobile technologies, as well as our significant experience addressing customers’ security challenges across
multiple markets, including government, transportation, healthcare, education, banking, critical infrastructure and others.
In particular, we believe that our more than 20 years’ experience delivering security solutions to U.S. Government customers
has provided us with significant expertise in security technologies and the evolving standards that continually shape their application
to protect premises, information, and everyday items. Our products enable compliance with federal directives and standards
implemented over the past decade, including Homeland Security Presidential Directive (“HSPD”) 12 and Federal Information
Processing Standard (“FIPS”) 201, which defines a common identification standard known as the Personal Identity Verification
(“PIV”) credential, used by all U.S. Government employees and contractors. We have supplied millions of smart card readers to the
Department of Defense and other federal agencies to enable secure logical access to PCs, networks and data. We are a leading supplier
of physical access control solutions to both federal and state government customers, including agencies within the Department of
Justice and the Department of the Treasury. As a pioneering adopter of security technologies and protocols employed on a large scale,
the U.S. Government is a benchmark for enterprises as well as other governments worldwide.
Over the last several years we have added new technology expertise and capabilities to our business to address new, rapidly
growing trends in security, including mobility and cloud-based services. In 2010 we acquired two companies that gave us the
capability to design and manufacture RFID and NFC inlays and tags. Currently we are one of the top global suppliers of NFC
products, which enable contactless communication with mobile devices. In 2011 we acquired idOnDemand, a pioneering provider of
cloud-based services for the issuance and management of identity credentials. In 2013 we won our first significant customer orders for
our idOnDemand service and we continue to develop our idOnDemand offering to address the need for affordable and easy to
implement identity credential provisioning and management. We are combining our expertise in NFC, cloud services, access control
and smart card technologies to provide mobile solutions that enable secure access to premises and IT networks using a mobile device.
Identiv’s Trust Solutions
In our increasingly connected world, governments, enterprises, commercial businesses, organizations of every size, and
individuals are continually challenged to protect their physical environments and digital resources, which are vulnerable to data
breaches, identity theft, fraud, counterfeiting and other breakdowns of security.
For decades, organizations typically have implemented separate systems and policies to secure their physical facilities and their
digital information and networks. Physical access control systems traditionally have utilized simple, low-security proximity cards or
tokens and relied on sophisticated hardware controllers and management software to authenticate an individual’s rights and privileges
to enter a building or office. Logical access control systems typically have relied on relatively powerful and secure smart card-based
credentials and readers to authenticate users as they log on to PCs or networks. Different departments within an organization are
typically responsible for issuing and managing credentials for physical and logical access, further hampering coordination between
these systems. In today’s heightened risk environment, there is growing concern about the gaps in security that can arise from this
lack of coordination, such as a terminated employee whose access rights to the network are not revoked at the same time as access
rights to the building.
7
Increasingly, organizations are modifying their existing security systems or implementing new systems that combine the
management and administration of both physical and logical access control. Within the security industry, this process is known as
convergence. The goal of converged systems is to provide integrated, policy-based physical and logical access to enable benefits such
as a single sign on and centralized identity management, as well as network provisioning throughout a user’s lifecycle.
Identiv provides customers with a complete, integrated trust solution for converged access. A core component of our trust
solutions is our idOnDemand service, which provides organizations with a complete, easy to implement and cost-effective solution for
issuing and managing identity credentials. Because this solution is offered through the cloud, our customers can access the service at
any time from our secure web portal to issue, manage or revoke credentials to any employee, without the high cost and complexity of
internal deployments. Our Trust for Premises solutions, described below, provide premises security for an organization, and our Trust
for Information solutions, also described below, enable secure access to PCs, networks, and other devices that protect an
organization’s information. All work together to provide a seamless, converged security solution.
Trust for Premises
We develop and sell integrated physical access control solutions to government and enterprise customers worldwide under our
uTrust brand. Our uTrust systems integrate access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, building management and other
network-based systems using a wide range of credentials, including PIV cards, smart cards, RFID cards and biometrics in order to
successfully secure facilities, digital assets and electronic transactions.
Our uTrust offerings include controllers, Velocity management software, door readers and credentials. Our modular uTrust
controllers are designed to be scalable, allowing customers to start with a small system and expand it over time. uTrust controllers can
operate autonomously, whether as a single controller or as part of a networked system with Velocity software. The uTrust Velocity
software platform enables centralized management of access and security operations across an organization, including control of
doors, gates, turnstiles, elevators and other building equipment, monitoring users as they move around a facility, preventing unwanted
access, maintaining compliance and providing a robust audit trail. Our door readers provide unique features to support a number of
security environments and standards. For example, our Scramblepad readers employ numerical scrambling on the keypad to protect
access codes from being stolen as they are entered. Our TouchSecure readers support the majority of legacy card credentials with a
robust next generation platform that can help companies migrate to more secure credentials and technologies, including smart cards,
NFC and government-issued credentials.
Our idOnDemand service can be used to provision (i.e., create and issue) and manage identity credentials used in our Trust for
Premises solutions.
Trust for Information
Identiv is a leading global supplier of smart card reader products. We offer a broad range of contact, contactless and mobile
smart card readers, tokens and terminals that are utilized around the world to enable logical (i.e., PC, network, or data) access and
security and identification applications, such as national ID, payment and eHealth and eGovernment. To support the growing demand
for solutions that provide secure access via mobile devices, sometimes known as “bring your own device” (“BYOD”), our
iAuthenticate mobile readers allow users to securely authenticate using iOS™ or Android™ devices, when they present standard
credentials issued by the U.S. Government, including the PIV card and its predecessor, the Common Access Card (“CAC”).
Our idOnDemand service can be used to provision, issue and manage identity credentials used in our Trust for Information
solutions.
Trust for Everyday Items
We design and manufacture a broad range of NFC and RFID products, including inlays and inlay-based cards, labels, tags and
stickers, as well as other RF and IC components. Our inlays and converted inlay products are used in a diverse range of identity-based
applications, including electronic entertainment, loyalty schemes, mobile payment, transit and event ticketing, and others.
Leveraging our expertise in RFID and NFC technology, identity management, mobility and cloud services, we are developing
new solutions to provide trust for everyday connected items, also known as the “Internet of Things.” Market analysts estimate that by
2020 the number of everyday items connected to the Internet will grow into the tens of billions. Connected items will include
household appliances, vehicles, medicines, home security systems, books, luggage, jewelry, toys and a host of other objects. We
believe the growth of the Internet of Things creates significant opportunities to provide trust solutions. We plan to leverage our
idOnDemand service to provision and manage identity credentials used in our Trust for Everyday Items solutions.
8
Customers
We sell to customers worldwide in a diverse range of markets, including government, enterprise, consumer, education,
healthcare and transportation. Sales to our top ten customers accounted for 44% of total revenue in 2014 and 32% of total revenue in
2013. One customer accounted for 23% of the Company’s total revenue in 2014. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company’s total revenue in 2013. A significant amount of revenue is sourced from sales of products and systems to our OEM partners
and an indirect sales network who sell to various entities within the U.S. federal government sector. U.S. federal government sales are
primarily delivered through our OEM partners and an indirect sales network or are priced using published General Service
Administration schedules.
Sales and Marketing
We primarily conduct our own sales and marketing activities in each of the markets in which we compete, utilizing our own
sales and marketing organization to solicit prospective channel partners and customers, provide technical advice and support with
respect to products, systems and services, and manage relationships with customers, distributors and/or OEMs. We sell our smart card
readers and RFID/NFC products directly to end users and utilize indirect sales channels that may include OEMs, dealers, systems
integrators, value added resellers, resellers or Internet sales. We sell our uTrust physical access control solutions and our idOnDemand
cloud-based identity and access management services primarily through systems integrators, dealers and value added partners,
although we also sell directly to end users. In support of our sales efforts, we participate in trade shows and conduct sales training
courses, targeted marketing programs, and ongoing customer, channel partner and third-party communications programs.
Competition
The market for security solutions is competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving standards in the
industry as a whole and within specific markets. We believe that competition for security solutions is likely to intensify as a result of
an ongoing increase in demand for cloud-based credential provisioning and management services as well as solutions that help
converge physical and logical access control systems and RFID and NFC products to enable expansion of the connected world.
We face a range of competition for our products, systems and solutions. Competition for our smart card readers and related
products primarily comes from several well-established companies, including Gemalto NV and OMNIKEY/HID Global (a division of
ASSA ABLOY AB), as well as from a number of smaller suppliers in Asia. Competition for our RFID inlays and inlay-based products
comes from a small number of organizations that understand the specialized processes and have the capital equipment required to
serve the RFID/NFC technology market. Competitors in this market include SMARTRAC NV, who in the last few years has acquired
former competitors UPM RFID and KSW Microtec, as well as a number of inlay conversion companies in Asia. In the market for
NFC tags, readers and other solutions, we face competition from traditional smart card reader and RFID technology providers,
including Gemalto and ASSA ABLOY for NFC readers, and SMARTRAC and other inlay converters for NFC tags.
Enterprise-class physical access control solutions are available from multiple suppliers. In this market we primarily compete
with AMAG Technology (a division of G4S plc), Lenel Systems International (a division of United Technologies Corp.), Software
House (a division of Tyco International Ltd.) and Honeywell International Inc. The market for cloud-based credential provisioning
and management services is still in its early stages, and competition primarily exists in the form of in-house projects. Other
companies that have announced or are currently offering such cloud-based services include Gemalto NV, Computer Associates, Inc.
and Oberthur Technologies, among others.
We also experience indirect competition from certain of our customers who currently offer alternative approaches or are
expected to introduce competitive products in the future. We may in the future face competition from these and other parties that
develop security solutions based upon approaches similar to or different from those employed by us. In addition, the market for
security solutions may ultimately be dominated by approaches other than the approach marketed by us. We believe that the principal
competitive factors affecting the market for our products, systems and solutions include:
the extent to which products and systems must support evolving industry and market standards and provide
interoperability;
the extent to which standards are widely adopted and product interoperability is required within industry or market
segments;
technical features;
the ability of suppliers to effectively integrate multiple products and systems in order to address customer requirements
including full system capabilities, cost of ownership and ease of use;
9
quality and reliability;
the ability of suppliers to quickly develop new products and integrated solutions to satisfy new market and customer
requirements;
ease of use;
strength of sales and distribution channels; and
price and total cost of system ownership.
While we believe that we compete favorably within our market environment, our ability to continue to successfully compete is
subject to a variety of factors, as further discussed below in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Seasonality and Other Factors
In our business overall, we may experience significant variations in demand for our offerings from quarter to quarter, and
overall we typically experience a stronger demand cycle in the second half of our fiscal year. Sales of our physical access control
solutions to U.S. Government agencies are subject to annual government budget cycles and generally are highest in the third quarter of
each year; however the impact of overall budget reductions from actions such as government shutdowns and potential sequester
actions on this seasonal trend is uncertain. Sales of our smart card readers and reader chips, many of which are sold to government
agencies, are impacted by testing and compliance schedules of government bodies as well as roll-out schedules for application
deployments, both of which contribute to variability in demand from quarter to quarter. Further, this business is typically subject to
seasonality based on commercial and government budget cycles, with lower sales in the first half, and in particular the first quarter of
the year, and the highest sales in the second half of each year.
In addition to the general seasonality of demand, overall U.S. Government expenditure levels have a significant impact on
demand for our products due to the significant portion of end demand for our products that we believe is sourced from U.S.
Government agencies. Therefore, any significant reduction in U.S. Government spending could adversely impact our financial results
and could cause our operating results to fall below any guidance we provide to the market or below the expectations of investors or
security analysts.
Backlog
We typically do not maintain a significant level of backlog and revenue in any quarter significantly depends on contracts entered
into or orders received and shipped in that quarter. The majority of our sales are made primarily pursuant to purchase orders for
current delivery or agreements covering purchases over a period of time. While our customer contracts generally do not require fixed
long-term purchase commitments, from time to time we do enter into customer contracts where delivery of products, systems or
services is ongoing or is scheduled over multiple quarters or years. In view of our order and shipment patterns, and because of the
possibility of customer changes in delivery schedules or cancellation of orders, we do not believe that the ongoing arrangements we
enter into provide meaningful backlog figures or are necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period.
Research and Development
We have made and continue to make significant investments in research and the development of trust solutions for customers in
the government, enterprise, consumer and commercial markets. We focus the bulk of our research and development activities on the
development of products and solutions for new and emerging market opportunities. In addition to developing core technology that can
be leveraged across a number of products, our engineering team works with product managers, applications engineers, distribution
partners and customers to develop new products, product enhancements, software and systems to meet customer and market
requirements. We also strive to develop and maintain close relationships with key suppliers of components and technologies in order
to be able to quickly introduce new offerings that incorporate the latest technological advances. New offerings introduced across our
businesses resulting in new inventions provide opportunities for new patent applications.
Our recent research and development activities have included enhancements for our cloud-based credential provisioning and
management offerings and the ongoing development of physical access controller platforms, which address new market trends such as
secure mobile access and extends our available customer base to include smaller enterprises. On an ongoing basis, we invest in the
development of new contactless readers, tokens and modules, new physical access readers to enable converged physical and logical
access, and in the extension of our contactless platforms. In addition, we continue to enhance and broaden our RFID and NFC inlay
designs and technologies in the areas of security, enablement for NFC applications, card manufacturing and other applications.
10
We attempt to balance our investment in new technologies, products and services with careful management of our development
resources so that our increased development activities do not result in unexpected or significant changes in our overall spending on
research and development. Research and development expenses were $6.9 million in 2014 and $6.3 million in 2013 and we capitalized
expense related to development of our cloud-based services of $0.5 million in 2014 and $0.6 million in 2013.
We conduct our research and development activities from several locations around the world. Development of our smart card
reader products and technologies primarily takes places in India. Development of our cloud-based credential provisioning and
management offering primarily takes place in California and Australia. Development of our physical access control solutions
primarily takes place in California. Development of our RFID and NFC products and technology primarily takes place in Singapore.
Proprietary Technology and Intellectual Property
Our success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology. We currently rely on a combination of patent, copyright and
trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights, which afford
only limited protection. Although we often seek to protect our proprietary technology through patents, it is possible that no new
patents will be issued, that our proprietary products or technologies are not patentable, and that any issued patent will fail to provide us
with any competitive advantages.
There has been a great deal of litigation in the technology industry regarding intellectual property rights and from time to time
we may be required to use litigation to protect our proprietary technology. This may result in our incurring substantial costs and there
is no assurance that we would be successful in any such litigation. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized
parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to use our proprietary information and software without authorization. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary and intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the
laws in the U.S. Because many of our products are sold and a substantial portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S., our
exposure to intellectual property risks may be higher. Our means of protecting our proprietary and intellectual property rights may not
be adequate. There is a risk that our competitors will independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design
around our patents or other intellectual property rights. If we are unsuccessful in protecting our intellectual property or our products or
technologies are duplicated by others, our business could be harmed.
In addition, we have from time to time received claims that we are infringing upon third parties’ intellectual property rights.
Future disputes with third parties may arise and these disputes may not be resolved on terms acceptable to us. As the number of
products and competitors in our target markets grow, the likelihood of infringement claims also increases. Any claims or litigation
may be time-consuming and costly, divert management resources, cause product shipment delays, or require us to redesign our
products, accept product returns or to write-off inventory. Any of these events could have a material adverse impact on our business
and operating results.
We are expanding our portfolio of more than 30 patent families (designs, patents, utility models, patents pending and exclusive
licenses) in individual or regional filings, covering products, electrical and mechanical designs, software systems and methods and
manufacturing process ideas for our various businesses. In 2014 we had six additional patents granted: US 8,902,119 “Dual Polarized
UHF Tag” in the U.S.; patent number US 8,851,385B2 “ Card Lamination” which provides a novel way to manufacture ID cards; US
patent application 13/647,792 “Tamper-Proof RFID Label,” which has been granted but awaiting a patent number assignment; patent
number US 8,777,112B2 “RFID Gasket Structure” in the US; patent number US 8,745,754B2 “Device for Secure Access to Digital
Media Contents, Virtual Multi-Interface Driver and System for Secure Access to Digital Media Contents” also in US ; patent number
GB2495663 “System and Method for Converging RFID Building Security with PKI Techniques” in Great Britain. We also submitted
and have pending U.S. and foreign patent filings in RFID tags, converged access readers and systems, smart card manufacturing
methods, authentication and cloud-based systems and NFC offerings. Additionally, we leverage our own ASIC designs for smart card
interface in some of our reader devices. However, none of our patents are currently material to our business.
Manufacturing and Sources of Supply
We utilize a combination of our own manufacturing facilities and the services of contract manufacturers in various countries
around the world to manufacture our products and components. Our physical access keypads, controllers and software are
manufactured primarily in California, using locally sourced components. The majority of our smart card reader products and
components are manufactured in Singapore and China and are certified to the ISO 9001:2000 quality manufacturing standard and our
remaining smart card readers and components are manufactured in Singapore. Our RFID and NFC inlays and inlay-based products
such as labels and tags are manufactured and assembled by our own internal manufacturing teams in Singapore primarily using locally
sourced components.
11
We have implemented formal quality control programs to satisfy customer requirements for high quality and reliable products.
To ensure that products manufactured by third parties are consistent with internal standards, our quality control programs include
management of all key aspects of the production process, including establishing product specifications, selecting the components to be
used to produce products, selecting the suppliers of these components and negotiating the prices for certain of these components. In
addition, we may work with suppliers to improve process control and product design.
We believe that our success will depend in large part on our ability to provide quality products and services while ensuring the
highest level of security for our products during the manufacturing process. In the event any of our contract manufacturers are unable
or unwilling to continue to manufacture our products, we may have to rely on other current manufacturing sources or identify and
qualify new contract manufacturers. Any significant delay in our ability to obtain adequate supplies of our products from current or
alternative sources would harm our business and operating results.
For the majority of our product manufacturing, we utilize a global sourcing strategy that serves all business solution areas within
the company, which allows us to achieve economies of scale and uniform quality standards for our products and support higher gross
margins.
On an ongoing basis, we analyze the need to add alternative sources for both our products and components. For example, we
currently utilize the foundry services of external suppliers to produce our ASICs for smart cards readers and inlays, and we use chips
and antenna components from third-party suppliers in our RFID and NFC inlays and contactless smart card readers. Wherever
possible, we have qualified additional sources of supply for components. However, a risk remains that we may be adversely impacted
by an inadequate supply of components, price increases, late deliveries or poor component quality. In addition, some of the basic
components used in our reader products, such as semiconductors, may at any time be in great demand. This could result in
components not being available to us in a timely manner or at all, particularly if larger companies have ordered significant volumes of
these components, or higher prices being charged for components we require.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had 308 full-time employees, of which 88 were in research and development, 97 were in sales and
marketing, 37 were in general and administrative and 86 were in manufacturing and related functions. We are not subject to any
collective bargaining agreements and, to our knowledge, none of our employees are currently represented by a labor union. To date,
we have experienced no work stoppages and believe that our employee relations are generally good.
Foreign Operations; Properties
We operate globally, with corporate headquarters in Fremont, California. We also maintain leased facilities in Australia,
Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore and the U.S. We consider these properties adequate for our business needs.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we could become subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business or could be named a defendant
in lawsuits. While the outcome of such claims or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management expects that
any such liabilities, to the extent not provided for by insurance or otherwise, would not have a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are not currently, nor during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014 have we been named a party to any
pending legal, governmental or arbitration proceeding, nor has, in the past twelve months, our property been the subject of any
pending legal, governmental or arbitration proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the
financial condition of our business nor are we aware that any such proceedings are threatened.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to
understanding any statement in this Form 10-K or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II,
Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial
statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K.
Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting our financial condition and operating results, past financial
performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to
anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Our revenues and operating results are subject to significant fluctuations and such fluctuations may lead to a reduced market
price for our stock.
Our revenues and operating results have varied in the past and will likely continue to fluctuate in the future. We believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful, but security analysts and investors often rely
upon these comparisons as indicators of future performance. If our operating results in any future period fall below the expectations of
security analysts and investors, or the guidance that we provide, the market price of our stock would likely decline.
Factors that have caused our results to fluctuate in the past and which are likely to affect us in the future include the following:
business and economic conditions overall and in our markets;
the timing and size of customer orders that may be tied to annual or other budgetary cycles, seasonal demand, product
plans or program roll-out schedules;
the effects of the U.S. Government spending cuts and other changes in budget allocation or availability that create
uncertainty for customers in certain parts of our business;
the absence of significant backlog in our business;
cancellations or delays of customer orders or the loss of a significant customer;
the length of sales cycles associated with our product or service offerings;
variations in the mix of products and services we sell;
reductions in the average selling prices that we are able to charge due to competition or other factors;
our ability to obtain an adequate supply of quality components and to deliver our products on a timely basis;
our inventory levels and the inventory levels of our customers and indirect sales channels;
the extent to which we invest in development, sales and marketing, and other expense categories;
strategic acquisitions, dispositions or organizational restructuring;
fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;
the cost or impact of litigation; and
the write-off of investments or goodwill.
13
Estimating the amount and mix of future revenues is difficult, and our failure to do so accurately could affect our ability to be
profitable or reduce the market price for our stock.
Accurately estimating future revenues is difficult because the purchasing patterns of our customers can vary depending upon a
number of factors. We sell our smart card readers primarily through a channel of distributors who place orders on an ongoing basis
depending on their customers’ requirements. As a result, the size and timing of these orders can vary from quarter to quarter. The
increasing market demand for RFID and NFC technology is resulting in larger program deployments of these products and
components, as well as increasing competition for these solutions. Across our business, the timing of closing larger orders increases
the risk of quarter-to-quarter fluctuation in revenues. If orders forecasted for a specific group of customers for a particular quarter are
not realized or revenues are not otherwise recognized in that quarter, our operating results for that quarter could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, from time to time, we may experience an unexpected increase or decrease in demand for our products
resulting from fluctuations in our customers’ budgets, purchasing patterns or deployment schedules. These occurrences are not always
predictable and can have a significant impact on our results in the period in which they occur.
Failure to accurately forecast customer demand may result in excess or obsolete inventory, which if written down might
adversely impact our cost of revenues and financial condition.
In addition, our expense levels are based, in significant part, upon our expectations as to future revenues and are largely fixed in
the short term. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues. Any
significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our expectations could have an immediate and significant effect on our ability to achieve
profitability for that quarter and may lead to a reduced market price for our stock.
Our loan covenants may affect our liquidity or limit our ability to incur debt, make investments, sell assets, merge or complete
other significant transactions.
In March 2014, we entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility Agreement with Opus Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The
loan agreement includes provisions that place limitations on a number of our activities, including our ability to incur additional debt,
create liens on our assets or make guarantees, make certain investments or loans, pay dividends or dispose of or sell assets or enter
into a merger or similar transaction. Additionally, on November 10, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit
Agreement dated March 31, 2014, with Opus (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the
revolving loan facility was increased from $10.0 million to $30.0 million and the revolving loan maturity date was extended to
November 10, 2017. Together the Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement contain financial covenants that require us to
achieve certain levels of financial performance as measured periodically in terms of our tangible net worth, EBITDA, and specific
asset levels as they relate to outstanding debt. If an event of default in such covenants occurs and is continuing, the lender may, among
other things, accelerate the loan and seize collateral or take other actions of a secured creditor. If repayment of the loan is accelerated,
we could face a substantial liquidity problem and may be forced to dispose of material assets or operations, seek to obtain equity
capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Such alternative measures may not be available or successful. Also, our loan
covenants may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or operations or to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Even if we
are able to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, the economic terms may not be favorable to us. All of the foregoing could have
serious consequences to our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to generate cash to meet scheduled payments
with respect to our debt depends on our financial and operating performance, which in turn, is subject to prevailing economic and
competitive conditions and the other factors discussed in this Risk Factors section. If our cash flow and capital resources are
insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and may be forced to dispose of material
assets or operations, seek to obtain equity capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness as noted above. Such alternative
measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.
If we are not able to secure additional financing when needed, our business could be adversely affected.
We may seek or need to raise additional funds for general corporate and commercial purposes or for acquisitions. Our ability to
obtain financing depends on our historical and expected future operating and financial performance, and is also subject to prevailing
economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to secure additional financing
when desired, our ability to fund our business operations, make capital expenditures, pursue additional expansion or acquisition
opportunities, or have resources available to capitalize on other opportunities could be limited, and this could adversely impact our
financial results. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. The sale of
additional debt or equity securities may cause dilution to existing stockholders.
14
Acquisitions and strategic investments require substantial resources, expose us to significant risks and may adversely impact
our business.
From time to time we may seek to acquire or make investments in companies, products or technologies that we believe
complement or augment our existing business, product offerings or technology portfolio. Acquiring and integrating acquired assets
into our business exposes us to certain risks.
Executing acquisition or investment transactions and assimilating personnel and operations from an acquired business may
require significant attention and resources, which may divert the attention of our management and employees from day-to-day
operations and disrupt our business. This may adversely impact our results of operations.
The costs associated with an acquisition may be significant, whether or not the acquisition transaction is successfully concluded.
As a result, acquisition activities may reduce the amount of capital available to fund our business. To purchase another company, we
may be required to issue additional equity securities, which would result in dilution to our stockholders. Acquisitions may result in the
assumption of additional liabilities or debt, including unanticipated liabilities, or charges to earnings for such items as amortization of
purchased intangibles or in-process research and development expenses. Such liabilities, indebtedness or charges could result in a
material and adverse impact with respect to our financial condition and results of operations. Acquisitions and strategic investments
may also lead to substantial increases in non-current assets, including goodwill. Write-downs of these assets due to unforeseen
business developments may materially and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, we have in the past acquired companies that we have subsequently divested, in some cases for less than we paid to
acquire the companies. Such divestitures involve risks, such as difficulty separating out portions of or entire businesses, distracting our
management team and employees, potential loss of revenue and potentially disrupting customer relationships. We may also incur
significant costs associated with exit or disposal activities, related impairment charges, or both, if we exit or divest a business or
product line. If we are not able to successfully integrate or divest products, technologies, or personnel from businesses that we acquire
or divest, or if we are not able to realize the expected benefits of our acquisitions, divestitures, or strategic investments, our business
and financial results could be adversely affected.
We may not fully realize the anticipated positive impacts to future financial results from our restructuring efforts.
We recently realigned our organizational structure to operate as a single, unified company rather than as a group of individual
businesses and reorganized our management team and our operational activities by function (e.g., engineering, sales, marketing,
customer service and information technology). These restructuring efforts were undertaken to streamline operations and reduce
operating expenses. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from our restructuring efforts within
expected time frames is subject to many estimates and assumptions, and may vary materially based on factors such as market
conditions and the effect of our restructuring efforts on our work force. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant
economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will fully
realize the anticipated positive impacts to future financial results from our current or future restructuring efforts. If our estimates and
assumptions are incorrect or if other unforeseen events occur, we may not achieve the cost savings expected from such restructurings,
and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our business and reputation may be impacted by information technology system failures or network disruptions.
We may be subject to information technology system failures and network disruptions. These may be caused by natural
disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, physical or electronic
break-ins, or other events or disruptions. System redundancy may be ineffective or inadequate, and our disaster recovery planning may
not be sufficient for all eventualities. Such failures or disruptions could compromise company or customer data and result in delayed
or cancelled orders. System failures and disruptions could also impede the manufacturing and shipping of products, delivery of online
services, processing of transactions and reporting of financial results.
Our success depends largely on the continued service and availability of key personnel.
Much of our future success depends on the continued availability and service of key personnel, including our chief executive
officer, executive team and other highly skilled employees. Experienced personnel in the technology industry are in high demand and
competition for their talents is intense, especially in Silicon Valley, where most of our key personnel are located.
15
Our business could be adversely affected by reductions or delays in the purchase of our products or services for government
security programs in the United States and globally.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from indirect sales to U.S. federal, state and local governments and government
agencies, as well as from subcontracts under federal government prime contracts. Large government programs are an important
market for our business, as high-security systems employing physical access, smart card, RFID or other access control technologies
are increasingly used to enable applications ranging from authorizing building and network access for federal employees to paying
taxes online, to citizen identification, to receiving health care. We believe that the success and growth of our business will continue to
be influenced by our successful procurement of government business either directly or through our indirect sales channels.
Accordingly, changes in government purchasing policies or government budgetary constraints could directly affect our financial
performance. Sales to government agencies and customers primarily serving the U.S. Government, including further sales pursuant to
existing contracts, may be adversely affected by factors outside our control, such as the sequester, the October 2013 federal
government shutdown or other Congressional actions to reduce federal spending, and by adverse economic, political or market
conditions. A reduction in current or future anticipated sales to the U.S. Government sector could harm our results of operations.
Additionally, we anticipate that an increasingly significant portion of our future revenues will come from government programs
outside the U.S., such as electronic national identity, eGovernment and eHealth programs. We currently supply smart card readers,
RFID products and cloud-based credential provisioning and management solutions for various government programs in Europe, Asia
and Australia and are actively targeting additional programs in these and other geographic areas. However, the allocation and
availability of budgets for such programs are often impacted by economic or political factors over which we have no control, and
which may cause delays in program implementation, which could negatively impact our sales and results of operations.
Our revenues may decline if we cannot compete successfully in an intensely competitive market.
We target our products at the rapidly evolving market for security technologies. Many of our current and potential competitors
have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, purchasing and other resources than we do. As a result, our competitors may
be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or standards and to changes in customer requirements. Our
competitors may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of products or solutions and may be
able to deliver competitive products or solutions at a lower end user price.
We also experience indirect competition from certain of our customers who currently offer alternative products or solutions or
are expected to introduce competitive offerings in the future. For example, in our physical access control business, many of our dealer
channel partners act as system integrators, providing installation and service, and therefore carry competitive lines of products and
systems. This is a common practice within the industry as the integrators need access to multiple lines in order to support all potential
service and user requirements. Depending on the technical competence of their sales forces, the comfort level of their technical staff
with our systems and price pressures from customers, these integrators may choose to offer a competitor’s product. There is also
business pressure to provide some level of sales to all vendors to maintain access to a range of products and systems.
We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the markets for our products and solutions include:
the extent to which products and systems must support evolving industry standards and provide interoperability;
the extent to which products are differentiated based on technical features, quality and reliability, ease of use, strength of
distribution channels and price;
the ability to quickly develop new products and solutions to satisfy new market and customer requirements; and
the total cost of ownership including installation, maintenance and expansion capability of systems.
Increased competition and increased market volatility in our industry could result in lower prices, reduced margins or the failure
of our product and service offerings to achieve or maintain market acceptance, any of which could have a serious adverse impact on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
16
Our percentage of revenue and customer concentration is significant in certain of our businesses.
Sales to our top ten customers accounted for 44% of total revenue in 2014 and 32% of total revenue in 2013. One customer
accounted for 23% of the Company’s total revenue in 2014. Two customers accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable
balance as of December 31, 2014 with each customer accounting for approximately 12% of our accounts receivable balance at year
end. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue in 2013. A significant amount of revenue is sourced
from sales of products and systems to our OEM partners and an indirect sales network who sell to various entities within the U.S.
federal government sector. We cannot guarantee that future reductions in U.S. Government budgets will not impact our sales to these
government entities or that the terms of existing contracts will not be subject to renegotiation. Our loss of one or more of our
significant customers could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business will not be successful if we do not keep up with the rapid changes in our industry.
The market for security products and related services is characterized by rapid technological developments, frequent new
product introductions and evolving industry standards. To be competitive, we have to continually improve the performance, features
and reliability of our products and services, particularly in response to competitive offerings, and quickly demonstrate the value of
new products and services or enhancements to existing products and services. Our failure to develop and introduce new products and
services successfully on a timely basis and to achieve market acceptance for such products and services could have a significant
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our increasing focus on cloud-based services presents execution and competitive risks.
An important component of our growth strategy involves the sale of our idOnDemand cloud-based services to deliver identity
credential provisioning and management solutions. The market for cloud-based credentialing solutions is at an early stage of
development. Customer knowledge of, and trust in the cloud-based delivery of credentialing solutions greatly depends upon suppliers’
ability to demonstrate the value, security and reliability of their offerings compared both to competitive services and to traditional
models of management identity credentials. We believe our expertise in cloud-based service delivery, our broad experience with
relevant security standards and technologies and our investment in infrastructure provide us with a strong foundation to compete.
However, if we are not able to demonstrate sufficient security and reliability, as well as differentiated value of our cloud-based
solutions to potential customers, our revenue and gross profit margins could be adversely impacted.
Currently, our idOndemand cloud-based services contribute a small but growing component of our overall revenue. As this
component of our business grows, we will recognize an increasing portion of our revenues over the subscription period, rather than at
the time of sale. To accelerate growth, we have made, and expect to continue to make significant investments to develop, sell and
deploy our cloud-based service capabilities. These investments are focused on software development, on expanding and maintaining
the secure infrastructure to support our cloud computing services, and on developing sales and distribution channels for our
idOnDemand offering. If our investments outpace our revenue growth in cloud services, our operating results will be adversely
affected.
Security breaches, whether or not related to our products, could result in the disclosure of sensitive government information or
private personal information that could result in the loss of clients and negative publicity.
Many of the systems we sell manage private personal information or protect sensitive information related to our customers in
the government or commercial markets. A well-publicized actual or perceived breach of network or computer security in one of these
systems, regardless of whether such a breach is attributable to our products, could adversely affect the market’s perception of us and
our products, and could result in the loss of customers, have an adverse effect on our reputation and reduce demand for our products.
As part of our technical support services, we agree, from time to time, to possess all or a portion of the security system database
of our customers. This service is subject to a number of risks. For example, despite our security measures our systems may be
vulnerable to cyber-attacks by hackers, physical break-ins and service disruptions that could lead to interruptions, delays or loss of
data. If any such compromise of our security were to occur, it could be very expensive to correct, could damage our reputation and
could discourage potential customers from using our services. Although we have not experienced attempted cyber or physical attacks,
we may experience such attempts in the future. Our systems also may be affected by outages, delays and other difficulties. Our
insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover losses and liabilities that may result from such events.
17
Sales of our products could decline and we could be subject to legal claims for damages if our products are found to have
defects.
Despite our testing efforts, our products may contain defects that are not detected until after the products have been shipped. The
discovery of defects or potential defects may result in damage to our reputation, delays in market acceptance of our products and
additional expenditures to resolve issues related to the products’ implementation. If we are unable to provide a solution to actual or
potential product defects that is acceptable to our customers, we may be required to incur substantial costs for product recall, repair
and replacement, or costs related to legal or warranty claims made against us.
The global nature of our business exposes us to operational and financial risks and our results of operations could be adversely
affected if we are unable to manage them effectively.
We market and sell our products and solutions to customers in many countries around the world. To support our global sales,
customer base and product development activities, we maintain company offices and/or business operations in several locations
around the world, including Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore and the U.S. We also maintain manufacturing
facilities in Singapore and California and engage contract manufacturers in multiple countries outside the U.S. Managing our global
development, sales, administrative and manufacturing operations places a significant burden on our management resources and our
financial processes and exposes us to various risks, including:
longer accounts receivable collection cycles;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
unexpected changes in foreign laws and regulatory requirements;
changes in political or economic conditions and stability, particularly in emerging markets;
difficulties managing widespread sales and manufacturing operations;
export controls;
less effective protection of our intellectual property; and
potentially adverse tax consequences.
Any failure to effectively mitigate these risks and effectively manage our global operations could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or operating results.
A significant portion of our revenue is made through an indirect sales channel, and the loss of dealers, systems integrators,
resellers, or other channel partners could result in decreased revenue.
We currently use an indirect sales channel that includes dealers, systems integrators, value added resellers and resellers to sell a
significant portion of our products and solutions, primarily into markets or to customers where the channel partner may have closer
relationships or greater access than we do. Some of these channel partners also sell our competitors’ products, and if they favor our
competitors’ products for any reason, they may fail to market our products as effectively or to devote necessary resources that result in
effective sales, which would cause our sales to suffer. Indirect selling arrangements are intended to benefit both us and the channel
partner, and may be long- or short-term relationships, depending on market conditions, competition in the marketplace and other
factors. If we are unable to maintain effective indirect sales channels, there could be a reduction in the amount of product we are able
to sell, and our revenues could decrease.
We depend upon third-party manufacturers and a limited number of suppliers, and if we experience disruptions in our supply
chain or manufacturing, our business may suffer.
We rely upon a limited number of suppliers for some key components of our products which exposes us to various risks,
including whether or not our suppliers will provide adequate quantities with sufficient quality on a timely basis and the risk that
supplier pricing may be higher than anticipated. In addition, some of the basic components used in some of our products, such as
semiconductors, may at any time be in great demand. This could result in components not being available to us in a timely manner or
at all, particularly if larger companies have ordered significant volumes of those components, or in higher prices being charged for
components we require. Disruption or termination of the supply of components or software used in our products could delay
shipments of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and could also damage
relationships with current and prospective customers.
18
Many of our products are manufactured outside the U.S. by contract manufacturers. Our reliance on foreign manufacturing
poses a number of risks, including lack of control over the manufacturing process and ultimately over the quality and timing of
delivery of our products. If any of our contract manufacturers cannot meet our production requirements, we may be required to rely on
other contract manufacturing sources or identify and qualify new contract manufacturers, and we may not be able to do this in a timely
manner or on reasonable terms. Additionally, we may be subject to currency fluctuations, potentially adverse tax consequences,
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, export controls, or political and economic instability.
Any significant delay in our ability to obtain adequate supplies of our products from our current or alternative manufacturers could
materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. In addition, if we are not successful at managing the contract
manufacturing process, the quality of our products could be jeopardized or inventory levels could be inadequate or excessive, which
could result in damage to our reputation with our customers and in the marketplace, as well as possible write-offs of excess inventory.
Our U.S. Government business depends upon the continuance of regulations that require federal agencies to implement
security systems such as ours, and upon our ability to receive certain government approvals or certifications and demonstrate
compliance in government audits or investigations. A failure to receive these government approvals or certifications or a negative
audit result could result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
While we are not able to quantify the amount of sales made to end customers in the U.S. Government market due to the indirect
nature of our selling process, we believe that orders from U.S. Government agencies represent a significant portion of our revenues.
The U.S. Government, suppliers to the U.S. Government and certain industries in the public sector currently fall, or may in the future
fall, under particular regulations that require federal agencies to implement security systems that utilize physical and logical access
control products and solutions such as ours. These regulations include, but are not limited to HSPD 12 and FIPS 201 produced by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”). Discontinuance of, changes in, or lack of adoption of laws or regulations
pertaining to security related to sales to end customers in the U.S. Government market could adversely affect our sales.
Our U.S. Government business is also dependent upon the receipt of certain governmental approvals or certifications and failure
to receive such approvals or certifications could have a material adverse effect on our sales in those market segments for which such
approvals or certifications are customary or required. Government agencies in the U.S. and other countries may audit our business as
part of their routine audits and investigations of government procurement programs. Based on the outcome of any such audit, if any of
our costs are found to be improperly allocated to a specific order, those costs may not be reimbursed and any costs already reimbursed
for such order may have to be refunded. If a government agency audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to
civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions. A negative audit could materially affect our competitive position and result
in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies in which we do business may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of our business is conducted in foreign currencies, principally the euro. Fluctuations in the value of foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will result in currency exchange gains and losses in our reported results. If a significant portion of
operating expenses are incurred in a foreign currency such as the euro, and revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, exchange rate
fluctuations might have a positive or negative net financial impact on these transactions, depending on whether the value of the
U.S. dollar decreases or increases compared to the euro. In addition, the valuation of current assets and liabilities that are denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency can result in currency exchange gains and losses. For example, when one of our
subsidiaries uses the euro as the functional currency, and this subsidiary has a receivable in U.S. dollars, a devaluation of the
U.S. dollar against the euro of 10% would result in a foreign exchange loss to the reporting entity of 10% of the value of the
underlying U.S. dollar receivable. We cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. The effect
of currency exchange rate changes may increase or decrease our costs and/or revenues in any given period, and we may experience
currency losses in the future. To date, we have not adopted a hedging program to protect against the risks associated with foreign
currency fluctuations.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, which could make us less competitive and cause us to lose market
share.
Our future success will depend, in part, upon our intellectual property rights and our ability to protect these rights. We rely on a
combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to
establish, maintain and protect our proprietary rights. From time to time we may be required to use litigation to protect our proprietary
technology. This may result in our incurring substantial costs and we may not be successful in any such litigation. Despite our efforts
to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized third parties may copy aspects of our products, obtain and use information that we
regard as proprietary, or infringe upon our patents. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary and
intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws in the U.S. Because many of our products are sold and a significant
portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S., our exposure to intellectual property risks may be higher. Our means of
protecting our proprietary and intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Additionally, there is a risk that our competitors will
independently develop similar technology or duplicate our products or design around patents or other intellectual property rights. If we
are unsuccessful in protecting our intellectual property or our products or technologies are duplicated by others, our competitive
position could be harmed and we could lose market share.
We face risks from future claims of third parties and litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
From time to time, we may be subject to claims of third parties, possibly resulting in litigation, which could include, among
other things, claims regarding infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties, product defects, employment-related
claims, and claims related to acquisitions, dispositions or restructurings. Addressing any such claims or litigation may be time-
consuming and costly, divert management resources, cause product shipment delays, require us to redesign our products, require us to
accept returns of products and to write-off inventory, or result in other adverse effects to our business. Any of the foregoing could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could require us to pay significant monetary damages.
We expect the likelihood of intellectual property infringement and misappropriation claims may increase as the number of
products and competitors in the security market grows and as we increasingly incorporate third-party technology into our products. As
a result of infringement claims, we could be required to license intellectual property from a third party or redesign our products.
Licenses may not be offered when required or on acceptable terms. If we do obtain licenses from third parties, we may be required to
pay license fees or royalties or we may be required to license some of our intellectual property to others in return for such licenses. If
we are unable to obtain a license necessary for us or our third-party manufacturers to manufacture our allegedly infringing products,
we could be required to suspend the manufacture of products or stop our suppliers from using processes that may infringe the rights of
third parties. We may also be unsuccessful in redesigning our products. Our suppliers and customers may be subject to infringement
claims based on intellectual property included in our products. We have historically agreed to indemnify our suppliers and customers
for patent infringement claims relating to our products. The scope of this indemnity varies, but may, in some instances, include
indemnification for damages and expenses, including attorney’s fees. We may periodically engage in litigation as a result of these
indemnification obligations. Our insurance policies exclude coverage for third-party claims for patent infringement.
A material impairment in the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets could negatively affect our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. We review goodwill for
potential impairment on an annual basis and intangible assets and other long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever events
and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the asset is considered impaired,
it is reduced to its fair value, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings during the period in which any impairment is determined. In
2013, the carrying value of goodwill and long-lived assets was determined to be impaired and we recorded impairment charges of
$15.8 million to goodwill and long-lived assets, excluding an impairment charge of $11.8 million related to discontinued operations,
as disclosed in our consolidated statements of operations.
Our stock price has been and is likely to remain volatile.
Over the past few years, The NASDAQ Capital Market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have
particularly affected the market prices of the stocks of technology companies. Volatility in our stock price on either or both exchanges
may result from a number of factors, including, among others:
low volumes of trading activity in our stock;
technical trading patterns of our stock;
variations in our or our competitors’ financial and/or operational results;
20
the fluctuation in market value of comparable companies in any of our markets;
expected or announced news about partner relationships, customer wins or losses, product announcements or
organizational changes ;
comments and forecasts by security analysts;
the inclusion or removal of our stock from market indices, such as groups of technology stocks or other indices;
our recent 1-for-10 reverse stock split;
litigation developments; and
general market downturns.
In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the object of securities class
action litigation. If we were the object of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our
management’s attention and resources.
If we fail to comply with the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market, the price of our common stock and our
ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our common stock currently is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market. There are a number of continuing requirements that
must be met in order for our common stock to remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, and the failure to meet these listing
standards could result in the delisting of our common stock from NASDAQ. On June 11, 2013, we received notification from
NASDAQ that we no longer met the requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ’s listing rules because the minimum bid price
of our common stock was below $1.00 over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The 180-day compliance period allowed to us to
regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement ended December 9, 2013, but we were granted a 180-day extension, or until
June 9, 2014, in which to regain compliance. On May 22, 2014, at our 2014 Annual Meeting, our shareholders’ approved a proposal
authorizing our Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split within a specified range. Following the 2014 Annual Meeting, the
Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split with a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). While the Reverse Stock Split
enabled us to regain compliance with The NASDAQ Capital Market’s minimum bid price listing requirement, it may also result in
certain adverse impacts to our Company and the trading of our common stock. Additionally, the liquidity of our common stock could
be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, which, in turn, could result in greater
volatility in the price per share of our common stock. As a result, and notwithstanding our Reverse Stock Split and our regained
compliance with the NASDAQ Capital Market’s minimum bid price listing requirement, we may not be able to maintain a price per
share of our common stock in excess of $1.00 per share or the additional criteria for continued listing of our common stock set forth
by The NASDAQ Capital Market. The occurrence of any future non-compliance with The NASDAQ Capital Market’s minimum bid
price or other listing requirements may have a material adverse effect on our stock price, our business and our ability to raise capital.
You may experience dilution of your ownership interests due to the future issuance of additional shares of our stock, and future
sales of shares of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price.
We have issued a significant number of shares of our common stock, together with warrants to purchase shares of our common
stock, in connection with a number of financing transactions and acquisitions in recent years. In a private placement in November
2010, we issued 409,763 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 409,763 shares of common stock. In a public
offering in May 2011, we issued 780,000 shares of common stock. In April 2013 we initially issued 203,855 shares of common stock
in a private transaction with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), and entered into an agreement with LPC to sell up to $18
million of additional shares of common stock in the future. We issued an additional 756,223 shares of common stock to LPC through
June 30, 2014 and subsequently terminated the agreement with LPC effective September 10, 2014. In August 2013, in a private
placement, we issued 934,847 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 934,847 shares of common stock. In
August 2013, we issued warrants to purchase 99,208 shares of common stock in connection with the amendment of our loan
agreement. Additionally, as of March 31, 2014, we issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in connection with
the entering into the Credit Agreement with Opus. Most recently, on September 16, 2014, the Company consummated an underwritten
public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and also granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an
additional 300,000 shares of common stock to cover overallotments. In the future, from time to time we may issue additional
previously authorized and unissued securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our current stockholders.
21
In addition, we have reserved shares of common stock for potential future issuance including stock issued pursuant to various
equity incentive plans, as contingent consideration related to previous acquisitions and various warrants issued in connection with
previous capitals raises and other transactions. As of December 31, 2014, 1.7 million shares of common stock are reserved for future
grants and outstanding equity awards under our various equity incentive plans and an additional 1.6 million shares of common stock
are reserved for future issuance in connection with other commitments, including the potential issuance of shares for contingent
consideration and warrant exercises. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or
exercisable for shares of common stock in connection with the hiring of personnel, future acquisitions, future private placements, or
future public offerings of our securities for capital raising or for other business purposes. If we issue additional securities, the
aggregate percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced. In addition, any new securities that we issue may have
rights senior to those of our common stock.
The issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities, or the perception that such issuances
could occur, may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.
One of our directors indirectly holds significant amounts of our common stock and could have significant influence over the
outcome of corporate actions requiring board and stockholder approval.
As of March 6, 2015, Mountain Partners AG, together with its affiliates (collectively “Mountain Partners”), had the right to vote
7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Daniel Wenzel, a director of our Company, is a co-founder of Mountain Partners.
As of March 6, 2015, our directors and officers collectively held 5% of our common stock. Accordingly, our directors and officers
could have influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring Board and stockholder approval, including the election of
directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction.
If current or future export laws limit or otherwise restrict our business, we could be prohibited from shipping our products to
certain countries, which could cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to suffer.
Some of our products are subject to export controls or other laws restricting the sale of our products under the laws of the U.S.,
the European Union (“EU”) and other governments. The export regimes and the governing policies applicable to our business are
subject to change. We cannot be certain that such export authorizations will be available to us or for our products in the future. In
some cases, we rely upon the compliance activities of our prime contractors, and we cannot be certain they have taken or will take all
measures necessary to comply with applicable export laws. If we or our prime contractor partners cannot obtain required government
approvals under applicable regulations, we may not be able to sell our products in certain international jurisdictions.
Changes in tax laws or the interpretation thereof, adverse tax audits and other tax matters may adversely affect our future
results.
A number of factors may impact our tax position, including:
the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities;
changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns;
increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes; and
the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes.
Any of these factors could make it more difficult for us to project or achieve expected tax results. An increase or decrease in our
tax liabilities due to these or other factors could adversely affect our financial results in future periods.
22
If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting, our business could be materially and adversely
affected.
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management must establish, maintain and make certain assessments and certifications
regarding our disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting. We have dedicated significant resources to comply
with these requirements, including significant actions to develop, evaluate, and test our internal controls. A failure to maintain
adequate internal controls could result in inaccurate or late reporting of our financial results, an investigation by regulatory authorities,
a loss of investor confidence, a decrease in the trading price of our common stock and exposure to costly litigation or regulatory
proceedings.
As described in Controls and Procedures in Part II, Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the audit of
our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, we identified a material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting, arising from an inadequate design of controls related to the financial statement close process. We have taken a
number of steps to complete the implementation of remediation measures and remediate our existing material weakness during 2014.
However, we may in the future identify additional internal control deficiencies that could rise to the level of a material weakness or
uncover errors in our financial reporting.
Regulations relating to conflict minerals may adversely affect our business.
The SEC has adopted disclosure and reporting rules intended to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply
of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and adjoining countries.
These rules require us to determine the origin of certain materials used in our products and to disclose whether we use any materials
containing conflict minerals originating from the DRC and adjoining countries. If it is determined that our products contain or use any
conflict minerals from the DRC or adjoining countries, additional requirements will be triggered. Compliance with conflict mineral
disclosure requirements may result in increased costs of regulatory compliance, potential risks to our reputation, difficulty satisfying
any customers that insist on conflict-free products and harm to our business.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent our acquisition by another company, which could
decrease the value of your shares.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third
party to acquire us or enter into a material transaction with us without the consent of our Board. These provisions include a classified
Board and limitations on actions by our stockholders by written consent. Delaware law imposes some restrictions on mergers and
other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. In addition, our Board has
the right to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile
acquirer. These provisions will apply even if the offer were to be considered adequate by some of our stockholders. Because these
provisions may be deemed to discourage a change of control, they may delay or prevent the acquisition of our Company, which could
decrease the value of our common stock.

On October 9, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Company’s common
stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $5.0 million of its common stock over a period of one
year. The program allows stock repurchases from time to time at management’s discretion in the open market or in private
transactions at prevailing market prices. Repurchases will be made under the program using the Company’s cash resources. The stock
repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors without prior notice. Additionally, during the
quarter ended December 31, 2014, we repurchased 4,585 shares of our common stock surrendered to the Company to satisfy tax
withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock issued to employees.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other parts of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future
events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-
looking statements can also be identified by words such as “will,” “believe,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I,
Item 1A of this Annual Report under the heading “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference. The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of
this Annual Report. All information presented herein is based on Identiv, Inc.’s fiscal calendar. Unless otherwise stated, references to
particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to our fiscal years ended in December and the associated quarters, months and
periods of those fiscal years. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as
required by law.
Each of the terms the “Company,” “Identiv,” “we” and “us” as used herein refers collectively to Identiv, Inc. and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated.
Overview
Identiv is a global security technology company that establishes trust in the connected world, including premises, information
and everyday items. Our motto is “Trust Your World.” Global organizations in the government, education, retail, transportation,
healthcare and other markets rely upon our trust solutions to do exactly that by reducing risk, achieving compliance and protecting
brand identity.
At the beginning of September 2013, as more fully discussed in the “Recent Developments in our Business” section below, we
undertook a strategic review of our business and initiated a series of actions to simplify our business structure and streamline our
operations. As a result of these changes, we have put in place a new organizational structure, enhanced and broadened our
management team, and are now doing business as “Identiv.” We obtained stockholder approval to amend our certificate of
incorporation and officially change the name of the Company at our 2014 annual meeting on May 22, 2014. Our common stock is
listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the U.S. under the symbol “INVE.”
At the end of fiscal year 2013, we operated in two segments, “Identity Management Solutions & Services” (“Identity
Management”) and “Identification Products & Components” (“ID Products”). Following the changes in our organizational structure,
we changed our operating segments to focus on our trust solutions:
Trust for Premises solution secures buildings via an integrated access control system.
Trust for Information solution secures enterprise information including PCs, networks, email encryption, login, and
printers via delivery of smart card reader products and Identity Management via our idOnDemand service.
Trust for everyday items solution provides trust for everyday connected items, including electronic toys and other
internet of things applications
The foundation of our trust solutions is a single, universal identity credential that can be used to trust any resource — premises,
information, or everyday item — delivered securely and easily from our idOnDemand service. Because this solution is offered through
the cloud, customers can access the service at any time from a secure web portal to issue, manage or revoke credentials, without the
complexity and cost of internal deployments.
To deliver these solutions, the Company reorganized its operations into four reportable business segments in the first quarter of
2014 principally by product families: Premises, Identity, Credentials and All Other. As a result of this change, product families and
services are organized within four segments – Premises, Identity, Credentials and All Other which are discussed in greater detail
below.
30
Premises
Our uTrust premises products offerings include MX controllers, Velocity management software and Touch Secure (“TS”) door
readers. Our modular uTrust MX controllers are designed to be scalable, allowing customers to start with a small system and expand
over time. uTrust MX controllers can operate autonomously, whether as a single controller or as part of a networked system with
Velocity software. The uTrust Velocity software platform enables centralized management of access and security operations across an
organization, including control of doors, gates, turnstiles, elevators and other building equipment, monitoring users as they move
around a facility, preventing unwanted access, maintaining compliance and providing a robust audit trail. uTrust door readers provide
unique features to support a number of security environments and standards. For example, uTrust Scramblepad readers employ
numerical scrambling on the keypad to protect access codes from being stolen as they are entered. uTrust TS readers support the
majority of legacy card credentials with a robust next-generation platform that can help companies migrate to more secure credentials
and technologies, including smart cards, near field communication (“NFC”) and government-issued credentials.
Identity
Our Identity products include uTrust readers - a broad range of contact, contactless, portable and mobile smart card readers,
tokens and terminals that are utilized around the world to enable logical (i.e., PC, network or data) access and security and
identification applications, such as national ID, payment, e-Health and e-Government.
The Identity products also include our idOnDemand service. idOnDemand can be used to provision (i.e., create and issue) and
manage identity credentials through a cloud based service. Customers can access the service at any time from a secure web portal to
issue, manage or revoke credentials, without the complexity and cost of internal deployments.
Credentials
The fastest-growing products in our portfolio are credentials: NFC and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products —
including inlays and inlay-based cards — labels, tags and stickers, as well as other radio frequency (“RF”) and IC components. These
products are manufactured in our state-of-the-art facility in Singapore and are used in a diverse range of identity-based applications,
including electronic entertainment, loyalty schemes, mobile payment, transit and event ticketing. In addition Identiv provides a
comprehensive range of user credentials under the uTrust brand, used for Premises and information solutions access.
Leveraging our expertise in RFID and NFC technology, identity management, mobility and cloud services, we are developing
new products to provide trust for everyday connected items, also known as the “Internet of Things.”
All Other
The All Other segment mainly includes Chipdrive and Media reader products. The products included in the All Other segment
do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and therefore have been combined for reporting purposes.
We primarily conduct our own sales and marketing activities in each of the markets in which we compete, utilizing our own
sales and marketing organization to solicit prospective channel partners and customers, provide technical advice and support with
respect to products, systems and services, and manage relationships with customers, distributors and/or original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”). We utilize indirect sales channels that may include OEMs, dealers, systems integrators, value added
resellers, resellers or Internet sales, although we also sell directly to end users. In support of our sales efforts, we participate in
industry events and conduct sales training courses, targeted marketing programs, and ongoing customer, channel partner and third-
party communications programs.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Fremont, California. We maintain research and development facilities in Santa Ana,
California, Fremont, California, Chennai, India and Australia and local operations and sales facilities in Australia, Germany, Hong
Kong, Japan, Singapore and the U.S. We were founded in 1990 in Munich, Germany and incorporated in 1996 under the laws of the
State of Delaware.
Recent Developments in our Business
In September 2013, our Board of Directors appointed Jason Hart as our chief executive officer (“CEO”). Mr. Hart is a 20-year
veteran of the security industry and the founder and former CEO of our idOnDemand subsidiary. Following Mr. Hart’s appointment,
we undertook a strategic review of our business and initiated a series of actions to simplify our business structure and streamline our
operations.
31
Organizational Restructuring
The first of these actions was to realign our organizational structure to operate as a single, unified company rather than as a
group of individual businesses. This change in our structure enhances our ability to coordinate and focus our strategic and operational
activities. To signal this change, we implemented a new corporate identity using the word mark and logo “Identiv” in place of
“Identive Group.” We also reorganized our management team and our operational activities by function (e.g., engineering, sales,
marketing, customer service and information technology), allowing centralized management of key activities on a global basis. With
the reorganization of and changes to our management team, we moved our executive headquarters to Fremont, California and
relocated our operational and certain administrative activities from Ismaning, Germany to our facility in Santa Ana, California.
Another important action was the divestiture of businesses that were determined to be non-core to our ongoing strategy. In
December 2013 we completed the sale of our Multicard and payment solution subsidiaries in Europe. In February 2014 we completed
the sale of our Multicard subsidiary in the U.S. and in July 2014, we sold certain non-core assets related to one of our U. S. based
subsidiaries. We believe these divestitures enhance our ability to focus our resources and investments on higher-growth and more
profitable opportunities in the security technology market. We have accounted for these divested businesses as discontinued
operations, and the statements of operations for all periods presented reflect the discontinuance of these businesses. For more
information, see Note 2 Discontinued Operations in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual
Report.
Beginning in 2014, we operated in four segments focused on our trust solutions that align to our current market strategy. We
reported our financial results under these four segments beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of
2014.
Our Strategy
Our priority in 2015 is to drive revenue growth by leveraging our core expertise from our existing product portfolio with a
focus on cloud and mobile technologies, as well as our significant experience addressing customers’ security challenges across
multiple markets, including the government, transportation, healthcare, education, banking, critical infrastructure and others.

Sales Trends
Sales in 2014 were $81.2 million, up 9% compared with $74.3 million in 2013. More than 50% of our sales come from RFID
and NFC products within our Credentials segment, which grew more than 37% in 2014, primarily as a result of large orders for tags
and inlays to support electronic gaming, transit ticketing and other “Internet of Things” applications. Growth in product sales within
our Credentials segment has been partially offset by a 4% decline in revenues in our Premises segment and a 15% decline in revenues
in our Identity segment. Since the first quarter of 2014, sales of our physical access control solutions have increased each quarter in
2014. However, overall sales levels in the premises segment during 2013 were higher in the first nine months of 2013 where a
significant number of projects were completed prior to the U.S. Government shutdown in October 2013 which has contributed to our
year-over-year sales decline in 2014. Our Identity segment sales decline was also a reflection of higher sales levels in 2013 from
significant project completions which have not been repeated in 2014. Sales of our physical access control solutions within our
Premises segment accounted for approximately 23% of our business and sales of our smart card readers and tokens within our Identity
segment accounted for approximately 21% of our business in 2014.
Gross profit margin was 41% in 2014, compared with 45% in 2013, primarily reflecting higher sales of our lower-margin RFID
and NFC products in our Credentials segment.
Sales in the Americas. Sales in the Americas were $51.3 million in 2014, accounting for 63% of total revenue and up 26%
compared with $40.6 million in 2013. Sales of NFC and RFID products including inlays, inlay-based cards, labels, tags and stickers
comprise a significant proportion of our revenues in the Americas region. These strong Credential segment sales were partially offset
by reduced sales of smart card readers and other Identity segment products in the Americas region.
Americas sales of RFID and NFC inlays and tags in 2014 rose more than 110% over the prior year, primarily due to high-
volume orders for electronic game toy pieces, transit ticketing, and other Internet of Things applications. Sales of smart card readers,
tokens and related products in the Americas decreased 48% in 2014 reflecting a significant decline from 2013 sales levels as many of
our U.S. Government agency customers increased their spending in anticipation of the government shutdown in October 2013 and our
federal and state agency customers have been slow to return to their normal levels of activity.
Sales of our physical access control solutions in the Americas decreased by 4% in 2014 compared with the previous year. By the
third quarter of 2013, our U.S. Government customers had begun to adapt to their reduced budgets brought about as a result of the U.S.
Government sequester implemented in March 2013 and many increased their spending in anticipation of the October fiscal year-end.
However, the government shutdown in the first half of October 2013 reversed these positive effects and our federal and state agency
customers have been slow to return to their normal levels of activity.
As a general trend, U.S. Federal agencies continue to be subject to security improvement mandates under programs such as
Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 and reiterated in memoranda from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB M-11-
11). We believe that our physical access control solutions remain among the most attractive offerings in the market to help agencies
move towards compliance with federal directives and mandates. To expand our sales opportunities beyond the U.S. Government
market, we have released new products and continue to add sales resources to target customers within the healthcare, education and
other commercial markets.
Sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) were $15.8 million in 2014,
accounting for 20% of total revenue and down 23% from $20.6 million in 2013. Sales of Credential products comprise a significant
proportion of our revenues in the EMEA region for 2014 representing 41% of revenues with Identity products representing
approximately 33% of revenues and Premises products representing 12% of revenues. European sales of RFID and NFC products
declined 39% in 2014 compared with the prior year as local production of NFC inlays and tags was transferred to Singapore and
European sales of Credential products for transit and event ticketing and other consumer applications were negatively impacted. Sales
of smart card readers and related products declined 17% in 2014 compared with the prior year as the prior period experienced
significant demand from a large citizen ID project in the Middle East. Smart card reader sales in Europe continues to be weak due to
continuing economic uncertainty in the region. Premises product sales were up 35% as several physical access control solution dealer
customers have commenced significant projects in the third quarter of 2014 in the Middle East for which we provide product.
Sales in Asia/Pacific. Sales in the Asia/Pacific region were $14.1 million in 2014, accounting for 17% of total revenue and up 8%
from $13.0 million in 2013. Sales of smart card reader products were up 36% in 2014 compared with the previous year as we migrated
to a newer reader chip platform within our distribution channel during the last half of 2013; this was partially offset by weaker demand
for physical access control solutions in the region throughout 2014. RFID and NFC product sales to Asia/Pacific customers fell 5% in
2014 as a result of variability in the volume and timing of large orders particularly in Australia.
33
Seasonality and Other Factors. In our business overall, we may experience significant variations in demand for our offerings
from quarter to quarter, and overall we typically experience a stronger demand cycle in the second half of our fiscal year. Sales of our
physical access control solutions to U.S. Government agencies are subject to annual government budget cycles and generally are
highest in the third quarter of each year; however the impact on this seasonal trend of overall budget reductions from actions such as
government shutdowns, government sequester activity or the enactment of continuing resolutions can result in delays in the
completion of certain projects involving our product offerings. Sales of our Identity reader chips, many of which are sold to
government agencies worldwide, are impacted by testing and compliance schedules of government bodies as well as roll-out schedules
for application deployments, both of which contribute to variability in demand from quarter to quarter. Additionally, this business is
typically subject to seasonality based on commercial and government budget cycles, with lower sales in the first half, and in particular
the first quarter of the year, and higher sales in the second half of each year.
In addition to the general seasonality of demand, overall U.S. Government expenditure has a significant impact on demand for
our products due to the portion of our revenues that we believe are sourced from U.S. Government agencies. Therefore, any significant
reduction in U.S. Government spending could adversely impact our financial results and could cause our operating results to fall
below any guidance we provide to the market or below the expectations of investors or security analysts.
Operating Expense Trends
Base Operating Expenses
Our base operating expenses (i.e., research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative spending)
increased $1.0 million, or 2% in 2014 compared with 2013. Research and development spending increased $0.6 million, or 10% in
2014, primarily due to the recognition of a significant research and development tax credit in the fourth quarter of 2013 which was not
available in 2014. In 2015, we expect research and development spending to remain relatively unchanged as a percentage of revenue
as we continue to invest in products and solutions to deliver trust solutions to customers in the government, enterprise, consumer and
commercial markets. Selling and marketing spending increased $1.7 million, or 9% in 2014 from the previous year, due to increased
investment in a more robust sales organization and the implementation of a global marketing organization to oversee product
management and deliver new marketing programs and resources to support the sales organization. This included the global rebranding
of our business to “Identiv” and a related global training initiative for our sales force. In 2015, we expect to increase spending on
selling and marketing as we continue to invest in a more robust sales organization and put in place a global marketing organization to
oversee product management and deliver new marketing programs and resources to support sales. General and administrative
spending in 2014 fell $1.4 million, or 10% from the previous year, primarily as a result of actions initiated in the fourth quarter of
2013 and during 2014 to simplify our business structure and streamline our operations. These actions are further discussed under
“Simplification and Streamlining of our Business” below. In 2015 we expect general and administrative spending to remain relatively
unchanged as a percentage of revenue.
Additionally, to meet increasing customer demand for RFID and NFC inlays, tags, labels and cards, we have added new
manufacturing capacity at our production facility in Singapore. Additionally, we continue to simplify our organizational structure
worldwide and invest in enhancements to our ERP infrastructure to support the expected growth of our business domestically and in
our international markets.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Goodwill
In the year ended December 31, 2013, developments in our business prompted us to perform an interim impairment assessment
of our goodwill and long-lived assets, as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) to determine if a potential impairment existed. The resulting impairment charges negatively affected our net assets
and results of operations for 2013; however, the recording of impairment charges had no impact on our day-to-day operations or
liquidity and did not result in any outlay of cash. There were no indicators of impairment to our goodwill and long-lived assets in the
year ended December 31, 2014.
For more information about impairment charges, see Note 6 Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in the accompanying Annual Report.
34
Simplification and Streamlining of our Business
Following the appointment of Mr. Hart as our CEO, we undertook a strategic review of our business and initiated a series of
actions to simplify our business structure and streamline our operations. As a consequence of our strategic review in late 2013 and
early 2014, we disposed of non-core or under-performing businesses, including our Multicard AG, payment solution AG, Multicard
Nederland BV and Multicard U.S. subsidiaries. Additionally, we ceased any additional investment in the Tagtrail mobile services
platform. We believe that these divestitures enhance our ability to focus our resources and investments on higher-growth and more
profitable global opportunities in the security market. To further simplify our business and streamline our operations, we have
restructured our organization to operate as a single, unified company rather than as a group of individual businesses. This restructuring
has included the realignment of our management team and our operational activities by function (for example engineering, sales,
marketing, customer service and information technology), which allows us to manage key activities on a global basis. With the
centralization of various functions, we have also eliminated several redundant positions. Additionally, we completed the process of
transferring various functions, such as corporate financial accounting and reporting from Germany to the U.S., in the third quarter of
2014. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to further reduce overhead costs and make more efficient use of our operational
resources.
To streamline production and operations in our Credentials business, we initiated the closure of our German production plant for
RFID and NFC inlays, tags, and labels in Sauerlach to consolidate production in our facility in Singapore. The closure of our
Sauerlach location was completed in the second quarter of 2014. We have in the past expanded production capacity with the addition
of production and assembly lines at our existing facility in California and via partnerships with external manufacturers, and we are
planning to further invest in our card production capabilities. Additionally, we continue to invest in enhancements to our data center
infrastructure to support the expected growth of our cloud service offerings.
Restructuring and Severance
During the year ended December 31, 2014, certain employees involved in non-core functions were terminated and a
manufacturing facility was closed with activities consolidated within existing facilities as part of management’s efforts to simplify
business operations following our strategic review in 2013. As a result, the Company recorded $3.1 million in restructuring, severance
and other closure related costs during the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company recorded an additional $0.3
million in severance costs during the year ended December 31, 2014 in general and administrative expenses related to executive
position resignations and eliminations in conjunction with recent corporate restructuring and cost reduction activities.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2013, there was a change of the Company’s CEO and chief financial officer (“CFO”) and
certain non-core functions were eliminated, as part of management’s efforts to simplify business operations. As a result, the Company
recorded $1.8 million in restructuring and severance costs in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December
31, 2013, primarily related to severance paid or accrued for our former CEO, CFO and certain other employees.

Total revenue in 2014 was $81.2 million, up 9% compared with $74.3 million in 2013, reflecting higher sales in our Credentials
segment, partially offset by lower sales in our Premises and Identity segments. A more detailed discussion of revenues by segment
follows below.
We sell our products utilizing indirect sales channels that may include OEMs, dealers, systems integrators, value added
resellers, resellers or Internet sales, although we also sell directly to end users in the government, enterprise and commercial markets
to address vertical market segments including end customers in the public services administration, military and defense, law
enforcement, healthcare, education, banking, industrial, retail and critical infrastructure markets.
37
In our Premises segment, we provide solutions and services that enable the issuance, management and use of secure identity
credentials in diverse markets. Our Premises segment includes products to secure buildings via an integrated access control system,
and includes MX controllers, Velocity management software and TS door readers. Our modular uTrust MX controllers are designed to
be scalable, allowing customers to start with a small system and expand over time. uTrust MX controllers can operate autonomously,
whether as a single controller or as part of a networked system with Velocity software. The uTrust Velocity software platform enables
centralized management of access and security operations across an organization, including control of doors, gates, turnstiles,
elevators and other building equipment, monitoring users as they move around a facility, preventing unwanted access, maintaining
compliance and providing a robust audit trail. uTrust door readers provide unique features to support a number of security
environments and standards. For example, uTrust Scramblepad readers employ numerical scrambling on the keypad to protect access
codes from being stolen as they are entered. uTrust TS readers support the majority of legacy card credentials with a robust next-
generation platform that can help companies migrate to more secure credentials and technologies, including smart cards, NFC and
government-issued credentials. Because of the complex nature of the problems we address for our Premises solutions customers,
pricing pressure is not prevalent in this segment.
Revenues in our Premises segment were $19.0 million in 2014, a decrease of 4% from $19.7 million in 2013. The decrease in
2014 primarily was due to lower sales of physical access control solutions in the U.S., resulting from lower overall demand from U.S.
Government customers compared to the prior year.
In our Identity segment, we offer products to secure enterprise information, including PCs, networks, email encryption, login,
and printers via delivery of smart card reader products and identity management via our idOnDemand service. Identiv offers smart
card readers - a broad range of contact, contactless and mobile smart card readers, tokens and terminals - to enable logical (i.e., PC,
network or data) access and security and identification applications, such as national ID, payment, e-Health and e-Government. Our
idOnDemand service can be used to provision (i.e., create and issue) and manage identity credentials.
Revenues in our Identity segment were $17.0 million in 2014, a decrease of 15% from $20.2 million in 2013. This decrease in
Identity segment revenues in 2014 is primarily the result of strong second and third quarter 2013 sales from U.S. government project
completions just prior to the federal government shutdown in October 2013. Our federal and state agency customers have been slow to
return to their normal levels of activity during 2014.
In our Credentials segment, we offer access cards and RFID and NFC products, including cards, inlays, labels, tags and stickers,
as well as other RF components. These products are manufactured in our state-of-the-art facility in Singapore and are used in a diverse
range of identity-based applications, including electronic entertainment, loyalty schemes, mobile payment, transit and event ticketing.
In our RFID and NFC product business, there is a trend towards a higher overall average selling price as we sell a higher proportion of
finished tickets and tags in addition to our inlays.
Revenues in our Credentials segment were $41.6 million in 2014, up 37% from $30.3 million in 2013. This growth primarily
resulted from higher sales of RFID and NFC products in the U.S. during all quarters of 2014 compared with the previous year, mainly
as a result of large orders for electronic game toys.
The All Other segment includes sales of our Chipdrive brand and Digital Media reader products.
Revenues in our All Other segment were $3.6 million in 2014, down 12% from $4.1 million in 2013. Digital Media reader
product sales were down significantly in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and are expected to remain at low levels as certain
customers are expected to exit this business.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2014 was $33.5 million, or 41% of revenues, compared with $33.4 million or 45% of revenues in 2013. Gross
profit represents revenues less direct cost of product sales, manufacturing overhead, other costs directly related to preparing the
product for sale including freight, scrap, inventory adjustments and amortization, where applicable. Gross profit margins were down in
2014 primarily related to product mix with significantly higher sales in our lower-margin Credentials segment.
In our Premises segment, gross profit on sales of physical access control solutions, including panels, controllers, and access
readers was $11.4 million in 2014 and $12.3 million in 2013. Gross profit was higher in 2013 as a direct result of higher sales and
higher margins in the Premises segment during the period. Gross profit margins in the Premises segment were relatively stable in the
above periods ranging from 60% in 2014 to 62% in 2013.
38
In our Identity segment, gross profit on sales of information readers and modules as well as cloud-based credential provisioning
and management services was $8.2 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross profit margins in the Identity segment were higher
in 2014 at 48%, compared to 40% in 2013, due to product mix with lower relative sales to our larger distributors in 2014 who tend to
have lower product mark-ups resulting in improved margins in 2014 compared to 2013.
In our Credentials segment, gross profit on sales of RFID & NFC inlays and tags used in electronic entertainment applications
was $11.9 million in 2014 and $11.0 million in 2013. Gross profit was higher in 2014 as a direct result of higher sales of transponders
in the Credentials segment during the period. Gross profit margins in the Credentials segment were 29% in 2014 compared to 36% in
2013. The margins in the Credentials segment were lower in 2014 as margins were negatively impacted in the first and fourth quarter
of 2014 by underutilization of production overhead which reduced margins in the first quarter of 2014 to 22% and in the fourth quarter
of 2014 to 26%.
We expect there will be some variation in our gross profit from period to period, as our gross profit has been and will continue
to be affected by a variety of factors, including, without limitation, competition, product pricing, the volume of sales in any given
quarter, manufacturing volumes, product configuration and mix, the availability of new products, product enhancements, software and
services, risk of inventory write-downs and the cost and availability of components.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and fees for the development of hardware,
software and firmware products. We focus the bulk of our research and development activities on the continued development of
existing products and the development of new offerings for emerging market opportunities.
Research and development expenses were $6.9 million in 2014, comprising 8% of revenue, which was an increase of 10% from
$6.3 million, or 8% of revenue in 2013. Research and development expenses were higher in 2014 primarily as a result of a research
and development tax credit of $0.4 million being realized in the fourth quarter of 2013. In addition, the hiring of new personnel in the
Americas region, net of personnel reductions in Europe and some U.S. locations resulted in a net increase to research and development
expense in 2014 by $0.2 million.

Selling and marketing expenses were $20.6 million in 2014, comprising 25% of revenue and up 9% from $18.9 million, or 25%
of revenue in 2013. During 2014 we invested in additional sales resources and programs to address existing and new market
opportunities, including the creation of new sales teams focused on NFC solutions and the movement of certain personnel into the
sales organization from our marketing function resulting in an increase in sales payroll costs of $3.7 million. The increase in sales
payroll cost was partially offset by a reduction in marketing payroll costs of $2.0 million from the consolidation of our marketing
function in the Americas from Germany resulting in an overall reduction of marketing personnel in 2014 as well as transfers of certain
marketing functions to the sales organization.

General and administrative expenses in 2014 were $12.8 million, or 16% of revenue, compared with $14.1 million, or 19% of
revenue in 2013, a decrease of 10%. This decrease primarily resulted from our cost reduction program initiated at the end of 2013
which resulted in reductions in personnel costs of $0.5 million, professional fees of $0.8 million and office rent and office
administration costs of $0.4 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on April 29, 2011 between the Company and the selling
stockholders of idOnDemand, Inc. (the “idOnDemand Agreement”), the Company accrued an earn-out obligation for the year ended
December 31, 2014. The estimated earn-out consideration in the amount of $3.51 million was calculated based on the achievement of
specific financial and sales performance targets as defined in the idOnDemand Agreement. As financial and sales performance targets
were not met for the year ended December 31, 2013, no earn-out consideration was recorded in 2013.
As detailed in Note 6, Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, under our accounting
policy, we are required to perform an annual impairment review of our goodwill and an interim analysis of our long-lived assets, when
there are changes in our business that may indicate impairment of those assets.
Following the appointment of Jason Hart as our new chief executive officer in September 2013, during our quarterly close
process for the third quarter of 2013 we performed an interim impairment analysis of goodwill and long-lived assets as a result of a
strategic review of underperforming parts of our business for potential divestiture and the presence of certain indicators of potential
impairment. As a result of our analysis, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $15.6 million in our consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. In conjunction with our goodwill impairment test, we also tested our long-lived
assets for impairment and adjusted the carrying value of each asset group to its fair value and recorded the associated impairment
charge of $0.2 million in consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.
In December 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test and found no potential indicators of impairment for 2014.
In addition, our interim assessments for goodwill and long-lived assets during 2014 found no indicators of impairment during the year
ended December 31, 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, certain employees related to non-core functions were terminated, the process of
transferring corporate financial accounting and reporting from Germany to the U.S. was completed and certain manufacturing
facilities were closed with activities consolidated within existing facilities as part of management’s efforts to simplify business
operations following our strategic review in 2013. As a result, we recorded restructuring and severance charges of $3.1 million
primarily related to restructuring, severance and other closure related costs during the year ended December 31, 2014.
Restructuring and severance charges of $1.8 million in 2013 primarily related to severance paid out or accrued during the year
as a result of the departure of our former chief executive officer and chief financial officer and the elimination of certain non-core
functions.
See Note 12, Restructuring and Severance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information.

Interest expense, net consists of interest accretion expense on a long-term payment obligation assumed upon our acquisition of
Hirsch and interest on financial liabilities, offset by interest earned on invested cash.
We recorded net interest expense of $3.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Higher net interest expense in 2014 is due to our entry into a bank term loan and revolving loan facility on March 31,
2014 with Opus Bank (“Opus”) and repayment of all outstanding amounts under the secured debt facility with Hercules. In connection
with the repayment of our secured debt facility with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), we recorded a $1.6
million charge to interest expense during 2014. The $1.6 million charge to interest expense included $0.9 million related to write-off
of deferred financing costs, $0.6 million related to write-off of discounts on the secured note and $0.1 million related to prepayment
fees as stipulated in the Hercules agreement and forfeiture of facility charge paid at the inception of the agreement. We also recorded
net interest expense of $0.6 million related to interest accretion expense for a long-term payment obligation assumed upon our
acquisition of Hirsch.
We recorded net interest expense of $2.2 million in 2013, which includes $1.5 million related to our loan with Hercules and $0.6
million related to interest accretion expense for a long-term payment obligation assumed upon our acquisition of Hirsch, as well as
interest paid on other financial liabilities.
See Note 7, Long-Term Payment Obligation of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and Note 8, Financial
Liabilities of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more detailed information on our interest expense and financial
obligations.
41
Foreign Currency Gains (Losses), Net
We recorded foreign currency transaction losses of $1.3 million in 2014 and foreign currency transaction gains of $0.7 million
in 2013. Changes in currency valuation in the periods presented mainly were the result of exchange rate movements between the
U.S. dollar and the euro, Swiss franc, and the British pound and their impact on the valuation of intercompany transaction balances.
Accordingly, they are predominantly non-cash items. Our foreign currency gains primarily result from the valuation of current assets
and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entity in the local financial statements.

Our tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amount of income (loss) we
earn in jurisdictions, which we expect to be fairly consistent in the near term. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any
given year, but are not consistent from year to year. The following items had the most significant impact on the difference between our
statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% and our effective tax rate in fiscal years 2014 and 2013.
2014 – (a) A reduction of $3.9 million, or 27.0% to the statutory rate resulted from changes in valuation allowance during the
year. (b) A reduction of $1.0 million, or 6.8% resulted from rate differences between U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. No U.S. taxes
were provided with respect to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as these earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested
outside the United States. Significant jurisdictions causing this difference are Germany and Singapore. The net effect of all changes
was an income tax expense of $0.1 million recorded in 2014.
2013 – (a) A reduction of $2.9 million, or 11.62% to the statutory rate resulted from changes in valuation allowance during the
year. (b) A reduction of $0.7 million, or 3.03% resulted from rate differences between U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. No U.S. taxes
were provided with respect to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as these earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested
outside the United States. Significant jurisdictions causing this difference are Germany and Singapore. (c) A reduction of $5.0 million,
or 20.13% resulted from non-cash impairment charges for goodwill that is nondeductible for tax purposes. The net effect of all
changes was an income tax expense of $0.05 million recorded in 2013.
Discontinued Operations
In November 2013, we committed to a plan to sell our Multicard U.S. business and completed the sale of this business on
February 4, 2014. In December 2013, we completed the sale of our Multicard AG business in Switzerland, our payment solution AG
business in Germany and our Multicard Nederland BV business in Netherland. In December 2013, we completed the sale of our
German Multicard GmbH subsidiary to an employee. Additionally, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain non-
core assets related to one of our subsidiaries to a former employee in June 2014 and completed the sale of these non-core assets in July
2014. All of these businesses (collectively, our “divested businesses”) have been accounted for as discontinued operations in our
condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result, all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Revenue for the divested businesses was $1.3 million and $21.9 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Income from
discontinued operations before income taxes was $0.5 million in 2014 and loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was
$10.8 million in 2013, primarily as a result of an impairment of goodwill in the period related to discontinued businesses. Provision
for income tax on discontinued operations was not material in 2014 and 2013.
42
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2014, our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $42.0 million, an increase of
$33.5 million compared to $8.5 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase in working capital reflects a $14.3 million net draw on
our Credit Agreement with Opus Bank less lender fees of approximately $0.2 million which was partially offset by the repayment of
principal owed and lender fees on our Secured Debt Facility with Hercules of approximately $6.6 million. Additional sources of
working capital during the year ended December 31, 2014 included $32.0 million in net proceeds from our public offering completed
during the third quarter, $4.2 million from the sale of common shares to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”) and $1.4 million in
net proceeds from the sale of non-core entities. The sources of working capital in the year were partially offset by a $3.5 million earn-
out liability, $1.3 million in expenditures on property and equipment as well as a reduction in net current assets within opening
working capital of $1.1 million related to the sale of non-core entities. As of December 31, 2014, our cash balance was $36.5 million.

Significant commitments that will require the use of cash in future periods include obligations under operating leases, our
contractual payment obligation assumed upon our acquisition of Hirsch, secured note and revolver, purchase commitments and other
obligations. Gross committed operating lease obligations are $4.4 million, our contractual payment obligation assumed upon our
acquisition of Hirsch is $8.2 million, the bank term loan, revolving loan facility and interest related obligation is $16.0 million, and
purchase commitments and other obligations are $8.8 million at December 31, 2014. Total commitments due within one year are $8.0
million and due thereafter are $29.4 million at December 31, 2014. These commitment levels are based on existing terms of our
operating leases, obligations with suppliers, our contractual payment obligation and the existing credit agreement with Opus as of
December 31, 2014.
Cash used in operating activities for 2014 primarily was due to the net loss of $17.9 million and decreases in cash from net
changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.9 million which was partially offset by adjustments for certain non-cash items of $11.1
million which primarily consisted of the earn-out consideration, depreciation, amortization, amortization of debt issue costs and stock-
based compensation. For 2013, cash used in operating activities primarily was due to the net loss of $35.8 million partially offset by
an increase in cash from net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.3 million, adjustments for certain non-cash items of $2.5
million and the impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets of $27.6 million.
Cash provided by investing activities for 2014 reflects $1.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations,
partially offset by $1.3 million in capital expenditures. For 2013, cash used in investing activities reflects $2.3 million in cash disposed
of on the sale of discontinued operations and $2.1 million in capital expenditures.
Cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects $14.3 million net cash proceeds from borrowings of debt, less
repayments with Opus Bank in the year ended December 31, 2014 and $35.8 million net cash proceeds from a capital raise and public
offering, partially offset by cash payments of $6.7 million for financial liabilities related to a debt facility repaid in full on March 31,
2014 and $1.7 million for the repurchase of common stock during the year. For 2013, cash provided by financing activities primarily
reflects $9.6 million net cash proceeds from a capital raise partially offset by $3.7 in payments on financial liabilities.

We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, if any, as of December 31, 2014, to be indefinitely reinvested
and, accordingly, no U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. Generally most of our foreign subsidiaries have accumulated
deficits and cash and cash equivalents that are held outside the United States are typically not cash generated from earnings that would
be subject to tax upon repatriation if transferred to the United States. We have access to the cash held outside the United States to fund
domestic operations and obligations without any material income tax consequences. As of December 31, 2014, the amount of cash
included at such subsidiaries was $2.2 million. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need to, repatriate funds to the United States to
satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt
service requirements.
On October 30, 2012, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules. The Loan
Agreement provided for a term loan in aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million with an initial drawdown of $7.5 million.
The initial drawdown of $7.5 million was secured by a Secured Term Promissory Note dated October 30, 2012 (the “Secured Note”).
As discussed below, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts under its Loan Agreement with Hercules in connection with the
closing of the Credit Agreement with Opus. See Note 8 Financial Liabilities in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in this Annual Report for more information.
On April 16, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with LPC, pursuant to which we have the
right to sell to LPC up to $20 million in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the
Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, LPC initially purchased 175,438 shares of common stock for a net
consideration of $1.5 million on April 17, 2013. Thereafter, on any business day and as often as every other business day over the 36-
month term of the Purchase Agreement, and up to an aggregate amount of an additional $18 million (subject to certain limitations) in
shares of common stock, we had the right, from time to time, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions to direct LPC to
purchase up to 10,000 shares of common stock. Subsequent to the initial purchase, we directed LPC to purchase 250,000 shares of
common stock from April 17, 2013 through December 31, 2013 for a net consideration of $1.9 million and 496,500 shares of common
stock from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014 for a net consideration of $4.2 million. See Note 4 Stockholders’ Equity of
Identiv, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for more information.
On August 14, 2013, we issued 834,847 shares of our common stock, in a private placement, at a price of $8.50 per share and
warrants to purchase an additional 834,847 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share to accredited and other
qualified investors (the “Investors”), for aggregate gross consideration of $7.1 million. The private placement was made pursuant to
definitive subscription agreements between the Company and each Investor. We engaged a placement agent in connection with private
placement outside the U.S. See Note 4 Stockholders’ Equity of Identiv, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in this Annual Report for more information.
On March 31, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Opus. The Credit Agreement provides
for a term loan in aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (“Term Loan”) which was drawn down on March 31, 2014, and an
additional $10.0 million revolving loan facility (“Revolving Loan Facility”), of which $4.0 million was drawn down on March 31,
2014 and an additional $2.0 million was drawn down during the three months ended June 30, 2014. In connection with the closing of
the Credit Agreement, the Company prepaid all outstanding amounts under its Loan Agreement, as amended from time to time with
Hercules. The proceeds of the Term Loan and the initial loans under the Revolving Loan Facility, after payment of fees to Opus and
expenses and all outstanding amounts under the Loan Agreement with Hercules, were approximately $7.8 million. The obligations of
the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. On November 10, 2014, the
Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement with Opus (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) which changes a number
of terms of the Credit Agreement including interest charged, the monthly installment payment schedule, the maximum amount
available under the revolving loan facility and the maturity date as well as certain other terms and conditions. See Note 8 Financial
Liabilities, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for more information.
On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into an underwritten public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at a
public offering price of $15.00 per share and also granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 300,000
shares of common stock to cover overallotments, if any (the “Public Offering”). The Public Offering was made pursuant to an
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-195702), filed with the SEC in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and declared effective on May 14, 2014, and the prospectus supplement thereto
dated September 11, 2014. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $31.6 million from the sale of 2,300,000 shares of
common stock in the Public Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. See
Note 4 Stockholders’ Equity of Identiv, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for
more information.
We have historically incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, and we expect to continue to
incur losses for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2014, we have a total accumulated deficit of $338.7 million. During the
44
year ended December 31, 2014, we sustained a consolidated net loss of $17.9 million. The loss for the year included income from
discontinued operations of $0.5 million. We expect to use a significant amount of cash in our operations over the next twelve months
for our operating activities and servicing of financial liabilities, including increased investment in marketing and sales capabilities to
drive revenue growth, and continued investment in our cloud-based services, physical access control solutions, smart card reader
products and RFID and NFC products.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This assumption
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our continuation as a going
concern is contingent upon our ability to generate revenues and cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis and our ability to
raise financing or dispose of certain noncore assets as required. Our plans may be adversely impacted if we fail to realize our assumed
levels of revenues and expenses or savings from our cost reduction activities. If events, such as reductions or delays in spending under
various federal budget programs, cause a significant adverse impact on our revenues, expenses or savings from our cost reduction
activities, we may need to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our development programs or obtain funds through
collaborative arrangements with others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, or programs that we
would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves, and to reduce personnel related costs. We believe our recent raising of
funds through public and private offerings of equity securities and the increase in our line of credit and change in terms in our
amendment to our Credit Agreement with Opus provides sufficient working capital to fund operations and continue as a going concern
for the next 12 months.
Over the longer term, we believe our existing cash balance, together with available credit under our Amended Credit Agreement
with Opus and our ability to raise capital through public and private offerings will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs to
fund operations. However, there can be no assurance that additional capital, if required, will be available to us or that such capital will
be available to us on acceptable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, or issued guarantees to third parties.

Our contractual payment obligation was assumed upon our acquisition of Hirsch. See Note 7, Contractual Payment Obligation,
in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for more information about this liability listed
in the table above.
Financial liabilities in the above contractual obligations table include payments to be made for principal and interest in
accordance with the terms at December 31, 2014 of the Credit Agreement we entered into with Opus Bank on March 31, 2014 as
amended on November 10, 2014. See Note 9 Financial Liabilities, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in this Annual Report for more information about the financial liabilities listed in the table above.
The Company leases its facilities, certain equipment, and automobiles under non-cancelable operating lease agreements.
Purchases for inventories are highly dependent upon forecasts of customer demand. Due to the uncertainty in demand from our
customers, we may have to change, reschedule, or cancel purchases or purchase orders from our suppliers. These changes may lead to
vendor cancellation charges on these orders or contractual commitments. See Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies, in the
accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report for more information about operating leases,
purchase commitments and other obligations listed in the table above.
45
The Company’s other long-term liabilities include gross unrecognized tax benefits, and related interest and penalties. At this
time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years in connection with these tax
liabilities. Accordingly, such amounts are not included in the contractual obligation table above.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience and on various other factors which we believe are reasonable based upon the information available to us at the time these
estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies contain our more significant judgments and estimates used
in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition;
Inventory Valuation;
Income Taxes;
Goodwill;
Intangible and Long-lived Assets; and
Stock-based Compensation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. We generally rely upon sales contracts or agreements, and customer purchase
orders to determine the existence of an arrangement.
Delivery has occurred. We use shipping terms and related documents, or written evidence of customer acceptance, when
applicable, to verify delivery or performance.
Sales price is fixed or determinable. We assess whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms
and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
Collectability is reasonably assured. We assess collectability based on creditworthiness of customers as determined by our
credit checks and customer payment histories. We record accounts receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts,
estimated customer returns and pricing credits.
Certain sales arrangements of our hardware products are bundled with professional services and maintenance contracts, and in
some cases with our software products. In such multiple element arrangements, revenue is allocated for each of the non-software
deliverables and for the software deliverables using the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement in
accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable
Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) - Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include
Software Elements (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable based on
the relative selling price. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionately to each
deliverable on the basis of the deliverable’s estimated fair value. ASU 2009-14 provides that tangible products containing software
components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality, are not
within the scope of the software revenue guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985-605, Software-Revenue
Recognition (“ASC 985-605”), but should follow the guidance in ASU 2009-13 for multiple-element arrangements. All non-essential
and standalone software components will continue to be accounted for under the guidance of ASC 985-605.
46
ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable in revenue arrangements.
Revenue is generated from sales to direct end-users and to distributors. When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements and
software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality, we allocate revenue
to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific objective
evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither
VSOE nor TPE is available. We then recognize revenue on each deliverable in accordance with our product and service revenue
recognition policies. VSOE of selling price is based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. TPE of selling price is
established by evaluating largely interchangeable competitor products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly situated customers.
The best estimate of selling price is established considering multiple factors, including, but not limited to, pricing practices in different
geographies and through different sales channels, gross margin objectives, internal costs, competitor pricing strategies and industry
technology lifecycles. Some of our offerings contain a significant element of proprietary technology and provide substantially unique
features and functionality. As a result, the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality typically cannot be obtained.
Additionally, as we are unable to reliably determine what competitors products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis, typically we
are not able to determine TPE for such products. Therefore ESP is used for such products in the selling price hierarchy for allocating
the total arrangement consideration.
Professional services include security system integration, system migration and database conversion services, among others.
Revenue from professional services contracts is recognized upon completion of such services and upon acceptance from the customer,
where applicable. Revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and amortized ratably over the period of the maintenance contracts.
Certain sales arrangements contain hardware, software and professional service elements where professional services are essential to
the functionality of the hardware and software system and a test of the functionality of the complete system is required before the
customer accepts the system. As a result, hardware, software and professional service elements are accounted for as one unit of
accounting and revenue from these arrangements is not recognized until completion of the project.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using FIFO, average cost or standard cost, as applicable) or market (net realizable
value). We typically plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which can be highly
unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record an estimated provision for
excess inventory reserve based on judgment and assumptions involving an evaluation of technical obsolescence and our ability to sell
based primarily on historical sales patterns and expectations for future demand. Actual demand and market conditions may differ from
the projections utilized by management in establishing our inventory reserves. If we were to use different assumptions or utilize
different estimates, the amount and timing of our inventory reserves could be materially different. Adverse changes in our inventory
reserve valuations could have a material effect on our operating results and financial position.
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best
assessment of estimated current and future income taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and
numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense,
deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the financial statements, which are expected to result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating
our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, for all material jurisdictions, we consider all
available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax balances, projected future taxable income, tax-
planning strategies and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for
the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax
operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require
significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating
the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating results.
47
As of December 31, 2014, we have federal and state income tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $73.2 million and
$27.0 million, respectively, which will expire at various dates starting in 2015. Such NOL carryforwards expire as follows (in
thousands):

$
$
We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from state NOL carryforwards will not be realized. Accordingly, we
have provided a full valuation allowance on any potential deferred tax assets relating to these state NOL carryforwards. If our
assumptions change and we determine we will be able to realize these NOLs, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014, will be accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves evaluating uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a
multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be
recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related
appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.
We (1) record unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and (2) adjust these liabilities when our
judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of
these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a tax payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the
unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in
which new information is made available.
We believe that none of the unrecognized tax benefits, excluding the associated interest and penalties, which are insignificant,
may be recognized by the end of 2015.
We consider the earnings of all our non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of
estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and our specific plans for
reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. Should we decide to repatriate foreign earnings, we would need to adjust our income tax
provision in the period we determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the United States.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is subject to an annual assessment, at a minimum, for
impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Impairment of goodwill is tested at
the reporting unit level, which is one level below its operating segment. We evaluate goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter
and on an interim basis whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. We perform interim goodwill impairment reviews between our annual reviews if certain events and circumstances have
occurred, including a deterioration in general economic conditions, an increased competitive environment, a change in management,
key personnel, strategy or customers, negative or declining cash flows, or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared
with actual and projected results.
To test goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we test for goodwill impairment using a two-step method as required by ASC 350. The
first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the
carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure
the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the
carrying value of goodwill and an impairment loss is recognized equal to that difference (i.e., write goodwill down to the implied fair
value of goodwill amount).
48
Fair value of the reporting units is determined using the income, or discounted cash flows approach (“DCF model”) and the
reasonableness of such fair value calculations is reviewed using the market approach, which utilizes comparable firms in similar lines
of business that are publicly traded or which are part of a public or private transaction. The completion of the DCF model requires that
we make a number of significant assumptions to produce an estimate of future cash flows. These assumptions include, but are not
limited to, projections of future revenue, gross profit rates, working capital requirements, and discount rates. In determining an
appropriate discount rate for each reporting unit we make assumptions about the estimated cost of capital and relevant risks, as
appropriate. The projections that we use in our DCF model are updated at least annually and change over time based on historical
performance and changing business conditions for each of our reporting units. The determination of whether goodwill is impaired
involves a significant level of judgment in establishing our assumptions. Changes in our business strategy, government regulations,
economic or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test for our Premises and Identity segments.
Based on the qualitative assessment performed, we determined that it was more likely than not that each of our reporting units’ fair
values exceeded their carrying values and it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test for these reporting
units.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we undertook a strategic review of our business and initiated a series of actions to
simplify our business structure and streamline our operations, including the review of certain under-performing business units for
potential divestiture. As a consequence we revised our forecasted revenue, gross margin and operating profit for future periods. In
addition, we noted certain other indicators of impairment, including a change in management following the appointment of a new
chief executive officer, a sustained decline in our stock price and, as a result of the U.S. Government budget sequester, continued
reduced operating performance in certain reporting units. Based on our reduced forecast and the indicators of impairment noted above,
we performed interim goodwill impairment reviews as part of our quarterly close as of September 30, 2013 and early in the fourth
quarter of 2013. As a result of these goodwill impairment reviews, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $27.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2013. Of the total goodwill impairment charge of $27.3 million, $15.6 million related to continuing
operations and $11.7 million related to divested businesses and was included within the results of discontinued operations in the
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Subsequently, during our annual goodwill impairment
review as of December 1, 2013, the estimated fair values of our reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values and no
additional impairment existed at that time.
We believe the methodology that we use to review impairment of goodwill, which includes a significant amount of judgment
and estimates, provides us with a reasonable basis to determine whether impairment has occurred. However, many of the factors
employed in determining whether our goodwill is impaired are outside of our control and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and
estimates will change in future periods. Changes in these factors such as a severe decline in market conditions could result in future
impairments to goodwill which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Intangible and Long-lived Assets
We evaluate our long-lived assets and certain identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC
Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of such assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset group. If such asset
groups are considered to be impaired (i.e., if the sum of its estimated future undiscounted cash flows used to test for recoverability is
less than its carrying value), the impairment loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset groups. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Stock-based Compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Stock-based compensation expense for expected-to-vest awards is valued under
the single-option approach and amortized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures. We utilize the Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model in order to determine the fair value of stock-based option awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton model requires
various highly subjective assumptions including volatility, expected option life, and risk-free interest rate. The assumptions used in
calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent
uncertainties and the application of management judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based
compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate
and recognize expense only for those expected-to-vest shares. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, our
recorded stock-based compensation expense and operating results could be different.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-17, "Business Combinations (Topic
805): Pushdown Accounting" ("ASU 2014-17"). The amendments in ASU 2014-17 provide an acquired entity with an option to apply
pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the
acquired entity. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods ending after November 14, 2014 and early adoption is
permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a
Going Concern”, (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments on whether there are
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the
financial statements are issued and to provide related disclosures, if required. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the
annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We are
currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award
Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which requires that a
performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance
condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards
with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Our adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not
expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2014-09”), which
supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize
revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing
so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following
transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the
option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-
09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Early adoption is not permitted. We are
currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our Consolidated Financial Statements and have not yet
determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”) “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and
Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an
Entity." ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both
discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. It is effective for
annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been
reported in financial statements previously issued. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We are primarily exposed to changes in currency exchange rates as certain operations of the Company are conducted in foreign
currencies such as the euro, Swiss franc, Australian dollar and Japanese yen.
Economic Exposure
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues, as well as costs denominated in
foreign currencies. This exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to identify material
foreign currency exposures and to manage these exposures to minimize the potential effects of currency fluctuations on our reported
consolidated cash flow and results of operations.
50
Transaction Exposure
Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is the result of assets and liabilities, (including inter-company
transactions) that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. In certain circumstances, changes
in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations in our reported consolidated statements of financial
position, consolidated statements of operations, and consolidated statements of cash flows. We have performed sensitivity analyses as
of December 31, 2014 and 2013 using a modeling technique that evaluated the hypothetical impact of a 10% movement in the value of
the U.S. dollar compared to the functional currency of the subsidiary, with all other variables held constant, to determine the
incremental transaction gains or losses that would have been incurred. The foreign exchange rates used were based on market rates in
effect at each of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The results of this hypothetical sensitivity analysis indicated that the impact on a
hypothetical 10% movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in increased foreign currency gains or losses of $0.3
million for 2014 and 2013.
Translation Exposure
We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries and
our investments in equity interests into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the
conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars results in a gain or loss which is recorded as a component
of accumulated other comprehensive income in our consolidated statements of equity.
With respect to our international operations, we have re-measured accounts which are denominated in the non-
functional currencies into the functional currency of the subsidiary and recorded the resulting gains (losses) within foreign currency
gains (losses), net in our consolidated statements of operations. We re-measure all monetary assets and liabilities at the current
exchange rate at the end of the period, non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses at
average exchange rates in effect during the periods.
Fixed Income Investments
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We do, however, limit our exposure to interest rate
and credit risk by establishing and strictly monitoring clear policies and guidelines for our fixed income portfolios. At the present
time, the maximum duration of any investment in our portfolio is limited to less than one year. The guidelines also establish credit
quality standards, limits on exposure to one issue or issuer, as well as to the type of instrument. Due to the limited duration and credit
risk criteria we have established, our exposure to market and credit risk is not expected to be material.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $36.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively, in cash and no cash equivalents or short-
term investments.

financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Identiv, Inc. at December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014, in

IDENTIV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Identiv, Inc. (“Identiv” or the “Company,”) is a global security technology company that provides trust solutions in the
connected world, including premises, information and everyday items. CIOs, CSOs and product departments rely upon Identiv’s trust
solutions to reduce risk and achieve compliance, and to protect brand identity. Identiv trust solutions are implemented using standards-
driven products and technology, such as hardware, software, digital certificates, mobility and cloud services.
Identiv’s corporate headquarters are in Fremont, California. The Company maintains research and development facilities in
California, Chennai, India and Australia and local operations and sales facilities in Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore,
and the U.S. The Company was founded in 1990 in Munich, Germany and was incorporated in 1996 under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Reverse Stock Split — On May 22, 2014, the shareholders approved, and the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware effecting, a one-for-ten reverse split of
the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of
the Company’s common stock, the Company’s authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock. Upon the effectiveness of the
Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s issued shares of common stock decreased from approximately 80 million to approximately 8
million shares, all with a par value of $0.001. The Company has no outstanding shares of preferred stock. All share, per share and
stock option information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been restated for all
periods to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Discontinued Operations — Financial information related to certain divested businesses of the Company is reported as
discontinued operations for all periods presented as discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations. Reclassifications of prior period
amounts related to discontinued operations have been made to conform to the current period presentation.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the
collectibility of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews its receivables that remain outstanding past their applicable
payment terms and establishes allowance and potential write-offs by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality,
age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Although the
Company expects to collect net amounts due as stated on the consolidated balance sheets, actual collections may differ from these
estimated amounts.
Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using standard cost, average cost or FIFO method, as applicable, or
market value. Inventory is written down for excess inventory, technical obsolescence and the inability to sell based primarily on
historical sales and expectations for future use. The Company operates in an industry characterized by technological change. The
planning of production and inventory levels is based on internal forecasts of customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can
fluctuate substantially. Should the demand for the Company’s products prove to be significantly less than anticipated, the ultimate
realizable value of the Company’s inventory could be substantially less than amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. Once
inventory has been written down below cost, it is not subsequently written up.
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years for furniture, fixture and
office equipment, five to seven years for machinery, five years for automobiles and three years for computer software. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful life. Refer to Note 5, Balance Sheet
Components, for information about impairment charges recorded during the third quarter of 2013.
60
Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is subject to annual assessment for
impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). The Company evaluates goodwill, at
a minimum, on an annual basis and on an interim basis whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company performs interim goodwill impairment reviews between its annual reviews
if certain events and circumstances have occurred, including a deterioration in general economic conditions, an increased competitive
environment, a change in management, key personnel, strategy or customers, negative or declining cash flows, or a decline in actual or
planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods. Impairment of goodwill is tested at
the reporting unit level, which is one level below its operating segment. The reporting units are identified in accordance with ASC
350-20-35-33 through 35-46. Prior to testing for goodwill impairment, the Company tests long-lived assets for impairment and adjusts
the carrying value of each asset group to its fair value and records the associated impairment charge in its consolidated statements of
operations. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a
determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the
totality of events or circumstances, it is determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount, the Company tests for goodwill impairment using a two-step method as required by ASC 350. The first step of the
impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the
reporting unit exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of the
impairment loss, if any. Under this second step, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined, in the same manner as the
amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, to assess the level of goodwill impairment, if any. The second step of the
impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill
exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess (i.e., write goodwill down to the
implied fair value of goodwill amount).
Under the first step of the impairment test, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting units using the income, or
discounted cash flows, approach (“DCF model”) and verifies the reasonableness of such fair value calculations of the reporting units
using the market approach, which utilizes comparable firms in similar lines of business that are publicly traded or which are part of a
public or private transaction. The completion of the DCF model requires the Company to make a number of significant assumptions to
produce an estimate of future cash flows. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, projections of future revenue, gross profit
rates, working capital requirements, and discount rates. In determining an appropriate discount rate for each reporting unit the
Company makes assumptions about the estimated cost of capital and relevant risks, as appropriate. The projections used by the
Company in its DCF model are updated as required and will change over time based on the historical performance and changing
business conditions for each of the Company’s reporting units. The determination of whether goodwill is impaired involves a
significant level of judgment in these assumptions, and changes in the Company’s business strategy, government regulations, or
economic or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments. The Company will continue to monitor market conditions
and other factors to determine if interim impairment tests are necessary in future periods.
Refer to Note 6, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for more information about the impairment charge recorded as a result of
interim goodwill impairment analysis performed as of September 30, 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2013. As discussed in Note 6, the
Company performed its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2014 and found no indicators of impairment at that time.
Intangible and Long-lived Assets — The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets in
accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and
identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of such assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired (i.e., if the sum of its estimated future undiscounted cash flows used to test for recoverability is less than its
carrying value), the impairment loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds
the fair value of the assets. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives
of the related assets as the straight-line method is considered to align with expected cash flows. Each period the Company evaluates
the estimated remaining useful life of purchased intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision
to the remaining period of amortization. For intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life, no amortization is
recognized until the assets´ useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. As discussed in Note 6 below, the Company performed
an impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2014 and found no indicators of impairment at that time.
Product Warranty — The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of sale. The Company’s
warranty obligation is affected by actual warranty costs, including material usage or service delivery costs incurred in correcting a
product failure. If actual material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability
would be required. Historically the warranty accrual and the expense amounts have been immaterial.
61
Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met:
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. The Company generally relies upon sales contracts or agreements, and
customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement.
Delivery has occurred. The Company uses shipping terms and related documents, or written evidence of customer
acceptance, when applicable, to verify delivery or performance.
Sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the
payment terms and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
Collectability is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability based on creditworthiness of customers as
determined by credit checks and customer payment histories. The Company records accounts receivable net of allowance
for doubtful accounts, estimated customer returns, and pricing credits.
The Company analyzes its revenue arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13,
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU No. 2009-14, Software
(Topic 985) - Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires the allocation
of arrangement consideration to each deliverable based on the relative selling price. The relative selling price method allocates any
discount in the arrangement proportionately to each deliverable on the basis of the deliverable’s estimated fair value. ASU 2009-14
provides that tangible products containing software components and non-software components, that function together to deliver the
tangible product’s essential functionality, are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance in ASC Topic 985-605,
Software-Revenue Recognition (“ASC 985-605”), and should follow the guidance in ASU 2009-13 for multiple-element
arrangements. All non-essential and standalone software components will continue to be accounted for under the guidance of ASC
985-605.
ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable in revenue arrangements.
The revenue is generated from sales to direct end-users and to distributors. When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements and
software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality, the Company
allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific
objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (“ESP”)
if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company then recognizes revenue on each deliverable in accordance with its policies for
product and service revenue recognition. VSOE of selling price is based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. TPE
of selling price is established by evaluating largely interchangeable competitor products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly
situated customers. The best estimate of selling price is established considering multiple factors, including, but not limited to, pricing
practices in different geographies and through different sales channels, gross margin objectives, internal costs, competitor pricing
strategies and industry technology lifecycles. Some of the Company’s offerings contain a significant element of proprietary
technology and provide substantially unique features and functionality; as a result, the comparable pricing of products with similar
functionality typically cannot be obtained. Additionally, as the Company is unable to reliably determine what competitors products’
selling prices are on a stand-alone basis, typically the Company is not able to determine TPE for such products. Therefore ESP is used
for such products in the selling price hierarchy for allocating the total arrangement consideration.
The Company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting in
accordance with the provisions of ASU 2009-13. Certain sales arrangements of the Company’s hardware products are bundled with
professional services and maintenance contracts, and in some cases with its software products. In such multiple element arrangements,
revenue is allocated to each separate units of accounting for each of the non-software deliverables and to the software deliverables
using the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy.
Allocation of the consideration is determined at arrangement inception on the basis of each unit’s relative selling price. The Company
accounts for software sales in accordance with ASC 985-605 and hardware sales in accordance with ASU 2009-13, when all the
revenue recognition criteria noted above have been met. Professional services include security system integration, system migration
and database conversion services, among others. The revenue from professional services contracts is recognized upon completion of
such services and upon acceptance from the customer, if applicable. The revenue from maintenance contracts is deferred and
amortized ratably over the period of the maintenance contracts. Certain sales arrangement contains hardware, software and
professional service elements where professional services are essential to the functionality of the hardware and software system and a
test of the functionality of the complete system is required before the customer accepts the system. As a result, hardware, software and
professional service elements are accounted for as one unit of accounting and revenue from these arrangements is recognized upon
completion of the project.
62
Research and Development — Costs to research, design, and develop the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and
development expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of employee compensation and fees for the development of
prototype products. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been
established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, the Company’s products are released
soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, costs subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not
been significant, and all software development costs generally have been expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes certain costs
for its internal-use software incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post
implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful
life, generally three years. The estimated useful life is determined based on management’s judgment on how long the core technology
and functionality serves internal needs and the customer base. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual
basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.
The Company recorded amortization expense related to software development costs, including amounts written-off related to
capitalized costs, in the amount of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Freight Costs — The Company reflects the cost of shipping its products to customers as a cost of revenue. Reimbursements
received from customers for freight costs are recognized as product revenue.
Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”),
which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect
the recognition of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.
The carrying value of net deferred tax assets reflects that the Company has been unable to generate sufficient taxable income in certain
tax jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be
realized. The deferred tax assets are still available for the Company to use in the future to offset taxable income, which would result in
the recognition of a tax benefit and a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate. Actual operating results and the underlying
amount and category of income in future years could render the Company’s current assumptions, judgments and estimates of the
realizability of deferred tax assets inaccurate, which could have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Such changes in recognition or measurement might result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax
provision in the period.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in
the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further information regarding the Company’s tax disclosures.
Stock-based Compensation — The Company accounts for all stock-based payment awards, including employee stock options,
restricted stock awards, performance share awards, employee stock purchase plan, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-
Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards is
recognized using the straight-line single-option approach. Employee stock options awards are valued under the single-option approach
and amortized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of the portion of the stock options award that is
ultimately expected-to-vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of
operations. See Note 4 below for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses.
63
The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its
options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend
yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Since the Company has been publicly traded for many years, it utilizes its own
historical volatility in valuing its stock option grants. The expected life of an award is based on historical experience, the terms and
conditions of the stock awards granted to employees, as well as the potential effect from options that have not been exercised at the
time. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates. These
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and the Company uses
different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company
estimates the expected forfeiture rate and recognizes expense only for those awards which are ultimately expected-to-vest shares. If
the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the Company’s estimate, the recorded stock-based compensation expense could
be different. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk — Two customers accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance as of
December 31, 2014 with each customer accounting for approximately 12% of our accounts receivable balance at year end. No
customer represented 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2013. The Company does not require
collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. To reduce risk, the Company’s management performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses in its consolidated
financial statements.
Net Loss Per Share — Basic and diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive-
potential common share equivalents outstanding during the period, if applicable. Dilutive-potential common share equivalents are
excluded from the computation of net loss per share in the loss periods as their effect would be antidilutive. As the Company has
incurred losses from continuing operations during each of the last two fiscal years, shares issuable under stock options are excluded
from the computation of diluted net loss per share in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as their effect is anti-
dilutive.
Comprehensive Loss — ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income, ASC Topic 200, Presentation of Comprehensive Income
(“ASU No. 2001-05”) requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the
components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but
consecutive statements. Comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 has been disclosed within the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Other accumulated comprehensive loss includes net foreign currency translation
adjustments and unrealized loss/gain on defined pension plans, where applicable, which are excluded from consolidated net loss.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the
local currencies, except for the Singapore subsidiary, which uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. For those subsidiaries
whose functional currency is the local currency, the Company translates assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end
exchange rates and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses
arising from translation of foreign entity financial statements are included as a component of other comprehensive loss and gains and
losses from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Company are included in the
Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized a currency gain (loss) of $(1.3) million in 2014 and
$0.7 million in 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes
In November 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-17, "Business Combinations (Topic
805): Pushdown Accounting" ("ASU 2014-17"). The amendments in ASU 2014-17 provide an acquired entity with an option to apply
pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the
acquired entity. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods ending after November 14, 2014 and early adoption is
permitted. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-17 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or
disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a
Going Concern”, (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments on whether there are
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the
financial statements are issued and to provide related disclosures, if required. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the
annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
64
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award
Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which requires that a
performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance
condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards
with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-
12 is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASU 2014-09”), which
supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize
revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing
so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following
transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the
option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-
09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our Consolidated Financial Statements and have not yet
determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”) “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and
Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an
Entity." ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both
discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. It is effective for
annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been
reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of
ASU 2014-08 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), after reviewing strategic options,
committed to a plan designed to simplify the Company’s business structure and to focus on high-growth technology trends within the
security market including cloud-based services and mobility. In December 2013, the Company completed the sale of its Swiss
Multicard AG subsidiary, its German payment solution AG subsidiary and its Dutch Multicard Nederland BV subsidiary to Sandpiper
Assets SA, an international holding company (“Sandpiper”), pursuant to a share purchase agreement whereby the Company agreed to
sell its holdings in these subsidiaries to Sandpiper for total negative cash consideration of $0.5 million, which was paid to Sandpiper in
February 2014 subsequent to the close of the transaction. The sale of Multicard AG and payment solution AG closed on December 19,
2013 and the sale of Multicard Nederland BV closed on December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company completed the sale of its
German Multicard GmbH subsidiary to an employee for the sum of one euro on December 30, 2013. Based on the carrying value of
the assets and the liabilities attributed to these businesses on the date of sale, and the estimated costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $4.8 million, net of tax of nil, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 in the
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is included in the loss from discontinued
operations, net of income taxes line.
In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company committed to sell its Rockwest Technology Group, Inc. d/b/a/
Multicard US (“Multicard US”) subsidiary to George Levy, Matt McDaniel and Hugo Garcia (the “Buyers”), the founders and former
owners of the Multicard US business. The sale of the Multicard US subsidiary was completed on February 4, 2014 and was made
pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated January 21, 2014 between the Company and the Buyers whereby the Company agreed
to sell 80.1% of the shares of its holdings in Multicard US, to the Buyers for cash consideration of $1.2 million. Based on the carrying
value of the assets and the liabilities attributed to Multicard US on the date of sale, and the estimated costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million, net of income taxes of nil, in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income
taxes.
On June 30, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase agreement with a former employee to sell certain non-core
assets consisting of inventory, some prepaid items, certain fully depreciated office equipment and certain intellectual property (“Non-
Core Assets”) relating to one of its subsidiaries for cash consideration of $0.1 million. The sale of these Non-Core Assets was
completed on July 7, 2014.
65
In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20, Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205”), for the years ended December 31, 2014 and
2013, the results of these businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
2013 results have been reclassified to conform to this presentation. The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been
reclassified and are segregated as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December
31, 2013.
The key components of income (loss) from discontinued operations consist of the following (in thousands):
Net revenues
Discontinued operations:
Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes
Income tax provision
Income (loss) from discontinued operations,
net of income taxes

3. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The classification of a
financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into
three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either
directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.
66
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no assets that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis.
There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company’s only liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is the contingent consideration related to the
acquisition of idOnDemand, Inc. (“idOnDemand”). The sellers of idOnDemand (the “Selling Shareholders”) are eligible to receive
limited earn-out payments (“Earn-out Consideration”) in the form of shares of common stock subject to certain lock-up periods under
the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on April 29, 2011 between the Company and the Selling Shareholders of
idOnDemand (the “SPA”). The fair value of the Earn-out Consideration is based on achieving certain revenue and profit targets as
defined under the SPA. The accrual of the Earn-out Consideration for periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2014 is
probability weighted and discounted to reflect the restriction on the resale or transfer of such shares. The valuation of the Earn-out
Consideration is classified as a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant unobservable inputs and involves management
judgment and assumptions about achieving revenue and profit targets and discount rates. The unobservable inputs used in the
measurement of the Earn-out Consideration are highly sensitive to fluctuations and any changes in the inputs or the probability
weighting thereof could significantly change the measured value of the Earn-out Consideration at each reporting period. The fair value
of the Earn-out Consideration is classified as a liability and is re-measured each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the maximum possible amount payable for Earn-out Consideration was $5.0 million. The
earn-out liability was zero at December 31, 2013 as financial and sales performance targets were not met for the year ended December
31, 2013. For the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company engaged a third party independent valuation firm to assist in the
determination of the Earn-out Consideration liability. The Company recorded an earn-out obligation of $3.51 million as of
December 31, 2014. For additional details, see Note 15, Related Party Transaction.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Certain of the Company's assets, including intangible assets, goodwill, and privately-held investments, are measured at fair
value on a nonrecurring basis if impairment is indicated. Purchased intangible assets are measured at fair value primarily using
discounted cash flow projections. For additional discussion of measurement criteria used in evaluating potential impairment involving
goodwill and intangible assets, refer to Note 6, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Privately-held investments, which are normally carried at cost, are measured at fair value due to events and circumstances that
the Company identified as significantly impacting the fair value of investments. The Company estimates the fair value of its privately-
held investments using an analysis of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including recent financing
activities and the investee's capital structure.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $0.3 million and zero, respectively, of privately-held investments
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and were classified as Level 3 assets due to the absence of quoted market prices and
inherent lack of liquidity. The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of
possible impairment. The Company adjusts the carrying value for its privately-held investments for any impairment if the fair value is
less than the carrying value of the respective assets on an other-than-temporary basis. The amount of privately-held investments is
included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring
basis.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable,
financial liabilities and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

4. Stockholders’ Equity of Identiv
Reverse Stock Split
As previously stated, on May 22, 2014, the shareholders approved, and the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware effecting a Reverse Stock Split. The
Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the Company’s common stock or the Company’s authorized shares of common
stock and its authorized shares of preferred stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split on May 22, 2014, the Company’s
issued shares of common stock decreased from approximately 80 million to approximately 8 million shares, all with a par value of
$0.001.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 40,000 of which have been designated as Series A
Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. No shares of the Company’s preferred stock, including the Series A
Participating Preferred Stock, were outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Identiv’s Board may from time to time, without
further action by the Company’s stockholders, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of
issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series, including voting rights, dividend rights and redemption and
liquidation preferences. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of
funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be
entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company before any
payment is made to the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the affirmative vote of the Board, without
stockholder approval, the Company may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely
affect the holders of shares of its common stock.
Private Placement
On August 14, 2013, in a private placement, the Company issued 834,847 shares of its common stock at a price of $8.50 per
share and warrants to purchase an additional 834,847 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (the “2013
Private Placement Warrants”) to accredited and other qualified investors (the “Investors”). Aggregate gross consideration was $7.1
million and $0.8 million in issuance costs were recorded in connection with the private placement. The private placement was made
pursuant to definitive subscription agreements between the Company and each Investor. The sale was made to Investors in the United
States and internationally in reliance upon available exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”) including Section 4(a) (2) thereof and Regulation D and Regulation S thereunder, as well as
comparable exemptions under applicable state and foreign securities laws. The Company engaged a placement agent in connection
with private placement outside the United States. As compensation at closing, the Company paid $0.6 million in cash and issued
100,000 shares of common stock to the placement agent on the same terms as those sold to the Investors in the offering. In addition,
the placement agent was issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share as
bonus compensation. The securities were issued to the placement agent in reliance upon available exemptions from the registrations
requirements of the Securities Act, including Regulation S thereunder. In September 2013, the Company filed a registration statement
on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-19105076) with the SEC to register the resale of the shares of common stock and any shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2013 Private Placement Warrants.
The 2013 Private Placement Warrants have a term of four years and are exercisable beginning six months following the date of
issuance. Any 2013 Private Placement Warrants, or portion thereof, not exercised prior to the expiration date will become void and of
no value and such warrants shall be terminated and no longer outstanding. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2013
Private Placement Warrants is subject to adjustment for any stock dividends, stock splits or distributions by the Company, or upon any
merger or consolidation or sale of assets of the Company, tender or exchange offer for the Company’s common stock, or a
reclassification of the Company’s common stock. The Company calculated the fair value of the 2013 Private Placement Warrants
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 91.57%, risk-free interest rate
of 1.08%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of four years. The fair value of the 2013 Private Placement Warrants was determined
to be $4.0 million. The 2013 Private Placement warrants are classified as equity in accordance with ASC Topic 505, Equity (“ASC
505”) as the warrants, if exercised, will be settled in shares and are within the control of the Company. During the year ended
December 31, 2014, the Company issued 58,822 shares of its common stock upon cash exercise and 296,806 shares of common stock
upon cashless exercise of 589,137 2013 Private Placement Warrants.
68
Sale of Common Stock
On September 16, 2014, the Company entered into an underwritten public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at a
public offering price of $15.00 per share and also granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 300,000
shares of common stock to cover overallotments, if any (the “Public Offering”). The Public Offering was made pursuant to an
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-195702), filed with the SEC in accordance with provisions of
the Securities Act, declared effective on May 14, 2014, and the prospectus supplement thereto dated September 11, 2014. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $31.6 million from the sale of 2,300,000 shares of common stock in the Public
Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount of $2.5 million and estimated offering expenses of $0.4 million. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the acquisition
of, or investment in, companies, technologies, products or assets that complement Identiv’s business.
On April 16, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital
Fund, LLC (“LPC”), pursuant to which the Company was granted the right to sell to LPC up to $20.0 million in shares of the
Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. As consideration for
entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to LPC 25,180 shares of common stock and was required to issue
up to 32,374 additional shares of common stock on a pro rata basis for any additional purchases the Company required LPC to make
under the Purchase Agreement over its duration (together the “Commitment Shares”). The Company would not receive any cash
proceeds from the issuance of the Commitment Shares.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Company’s right to commence sales
under the Purchase Agreement, LPC initially purchased $2.0 million in shares of common stock at $11.40 per share on April 17, 2013.
Thereafter, on any business day and as often as every other business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, the
Company had the right, from time to time, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions to direct LPC to purchase up to
10,000 shares of common stock, up to an aggregate amount of an additional $18.0 million (subject to certain limitations). The
purchase price of shares of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement would be based on prevailing market prices of
common stock at the time of sale without any fixed discount, and the Company would control the timing and amount of any sales of
common stock issued to LPC, but in no event would shares be sold to LPC on a day the common stock closing price was less than
$5.00 per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, the Company could direct LPC to purchase additional amounts as accelerated
purchases if on the date of a regular purchase the closing sale price of the common stock was not below $7.50 per share. The
Company used the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
All shares of common stock issued and sold to LPC under the Purchase Agreement were issued pursuant to the Company’s
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-173576 and 333-195702), filed with the SEC in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities Act and declared effective on May 14, 2014, and the prospectus supplement thereto dated May
20, 2014. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and LPC,
limitations and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and other obligations of the parties. There was
no upper limit on the price per share that LPC could be obligated to pay for common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The
Company had the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty.
On April 17, 2013, LPC initially purchased 175,438 shares of common stock at $11.40 per share for a net consideration of $1.5
million after recording $0.5 million in underwriting discounts, legal fees and issuance costs. As stipulated in the Purchase Agreement,
the Company issued 28,417 shares of common stock consisting of 25,180 Commitment Shares and 3,237 additional pro-rated shares
of common stock as Commitment Shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase, the Company directed LPC to purchase 250,000 shares
of common stock from April 17, 2013 through December 31, 2013 for a net consideration of $1.9 million and 496,500 shares of
common stock from January 1, 2014 through September 10, 2014 for a net consideration of $4.2 million and issued a total of 9,723
additional pro-rated shares as Commitment Shares.
On September 9, 2014, the Company provided written notice of termination pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement
between the Company and LPC to terminate the Purchase Agreement, other than those sections which survive termination. The
termination was effected on September 10, 2014, one business day following delivery of the notice of termination. The Purchase
Agreement provided the Company with an option to terminate the agreement for any reason or for no reason by delivering a notice to
LPC, and the Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
Following the termination, LPC will continue to be a security holder of the Company.
69
Common Stock Warrants
In connection with the Company’s entry into a consulting agreement, the Company issued a consultant a warrant to purchase up
to 85,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $10.70 (the “Consultant Warrant”). One fourth of
the shares under the warrant are exercisable for cash three months from the date the Consultant Warrant was entered into and quarterly
thereafter. The Consultant Warrant will expire 5 years after the date of issuance, or on August 13, 2019. In the event of an acquisition
of the Company, the Consultant Warrant shall terminate and no longer be exercisable as of the closing of the acquisition. As of

2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2011, Identiv’s stockholders approved the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Initially, 200,000 shares
of common stock were reserved for issuance over the term of the ESPP, which was ten years. In addition, on the first day of each
fiscal year commencing with fiscal year 2012, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was automatically
increased by a number equal to the lower of (i) 75,000 shares, (ii) two percent of all shares outstanding at the end of the previous year,
or (iii) an amount determined by the Board. Under the ESPP, eligible employees could purchase shares of common stock at 85% of
the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of, or end of the applicable offering period and
each offering period lasted for six months. The plan contained an automatic reset feature under which if the fair market value of a
share of common stock on any exercise date (except the final scheduled exercise date of any offering period) was lower than the fair
market value of a share of common stock on the first trading day of the offering period in progress, then the offering period in
progress shall end immediately following the close of trading on such exercise date, and a new offering period shall begin on the next
subsequent January 1 or July 1, as applicable, and shall extend for a 24-month period ending on December 31 or June 30, as
applicable. As of January 1, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the total shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP were automatically
increased by 75,000 shares each in accordance with the terms of the plan. As of December 31, 2014, there are 293,888 shares reserved
for future grants under the ESPP. On December 18, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board suspended the ESPP effective
January 1, 2014. No additional shares will be authorized and no shares will be issued under the ESPP until further notice.
Since the ESPP was suspended effective January 1, 2014, there was no stock-based compensation expense resulting from the
ESPP included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Inducement Grant
The Company granted 50,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock as an inducement grant to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in connection with entering into an employment
agreement on March 13, 2014 (the “Inducement Grant”). The RSUs were scheduled to vest 25 percent after one year, with the
remaining shares vesting over three years in 12 equal quarterly installments. The stock options had an exercise price equal to the
closing price of the Company's common stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market on the date of grant, vest 25 percent after one year with
the remaining options vesting over three years in 36 equal monthly installments, and had a term of ten years. The Inducement Grant
was made outside of the Company's existing equity compensation plans in reliance upon NASDAQ Rule 5635(c)(4). The fair value of
stock options and RSUs included in the Inducement Grant was calculated based upon the fair market value of the Company’s stock at
the date of grant.
The Company determined in the third quarter of 2014 that the Inducement Grant may not have fully complied with the
requirements of NASDAQ Rule 5635(c)(4). To avoid concerns about the Company’s compliance with this NASDAQ rule, our CEO
and the Company have agreed to cancel these awards. To effect this cancellation, the parties entered into an Equity Award Rescission
Agreement on September 8, 2014.
While the Compensation Committee approved the cancellation of the Inducement Grant to avoid concerns about full compliance
with the NASDAQ rule, it nevertheless believes that it is appropriate that the Company provide share-based incentives to its CEO in
recognition of his past performance and to provide appropriate and reasonable incentives for future performance. Upon the
cancellation of the Inducement Grant, the Compensation Committee granted to its CEO on September 8, 2014 an award of 150,000
restricted stock units under the Company’s 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee approved
the grant to its CEO of an additional 150,000 RSUs under the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan to become effective on January 1,
2015. Both of these awards vest in equal quarterly installments over periods of three years measured from their respective grant dates,
subject to the CEO’s continued employment.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans to attract, motivate, retain and reward employees, directors and
consultants by providing its Board or a committee of the Board the discretion to award equity incentives to these persons. The
Company’s stock-based compensation plans consist of the Director Option Plan, 1997 Stock Option Plan, 2000 Stock Option Plan,
2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”), the 2010 Bonus and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) and the 2011 Incentive
Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”), as amended.
71
Stock Bonus and Incentive Plans
In June 2010, Identiv’s stockholders approved the 2010 Plan, under which cash and equity-based awards may be granted to
executive officers, including the CEO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and other key employees (the “Participants”) of the Company
and its subsidiaries and members of the Company’s Board, as designated from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the
Board. An aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan as equity-
based awards, including shares, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock or deferred stock awards. These awards provide the
Company´s executives and key employees with the opportunity to earn shares of common stock depending on the extent to which
certain performance goals are met. Since the adoption of the 2011 Plan (described below), the Company utilizes shares from the 2010
Plan only for performance-based awards to Participants and all equity awards granted under the 2010 Plan are issued pursuant to the
2011 Plan.
On June 6, 2011, Identiv’s stockholders approved the 2011 Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board. The 2011 Plan provides that stock options, stock units, restricted shares, and stock appreciation rights may be granted to
officers, directors, employees, consultants, and other persons who provide services to the Company or any related entity. The 2011
Plan serves as a successor plan to the Company’s 2007 Plan. The Company reserved 400,000 shares of common stock under the 2011
Plan, plus 459,956 shares of common stock that remained available for delivery under the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan as of June 6,
2011. In aggregate, as of June 6, 2011, 859,956 shares were available for future grants under the 2011 Plan, including shares rolled
over from 2007 Plan and 2010 Plan. In May 2014, Identiv’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2011 Plan to increase the
number of shares reserved for future issuance by 1.0 million.
Stock Option Plans
The Company’s stock option plans are generally time-based and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant. Vesting varies,
with some grants vesting 25% each year over four years; some vesting 25% after one year and monthly thereafter over three years;
some vesting 100% on the date of grant; some vesting 1/12th per month over one year; some vesting 100% after one year; and some
vesting monthly over four years. The Director Option Plan and 1997 Stock Option Plan both expired in March 2007. The 2000 Stock
Option Plan expired in December 2010 and as noted above, the 2007 Plan was discontinued in June 2011 in connection with the
approval of the 2011 Plan. As a result, options will no longer be granted under any of these plans except the 2011 Plan.
As of December 31, 2014, an aggregate of 16,780 options were outstanding under the Director Option Plan and 1997 Stock
Option Plan, 15,169 options were outstanding under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, 78,223 options were outstanding under the 2007
Plan, and 786,943 options were outstanding under the 2011 Plan. These outstanding options remain exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the original grant agreements under the respective plans.

Net Loss per Common Share Attributable to Identiv Stockholders’ Equity
Basic and diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, common stock equivalents consisting of outstanding stock options, RSUs
and warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because these securities were anti-dilutive due to the net loss
in the respective periods. The total number of common stock equivalents excluded from diluted loss per share relating to these
securities was 1,354,866 common stock equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2014, and 1,707,771 common stock equivalents
for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) at December 31, 2014 and 2013 consists of foreign currency translation
adjustments of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively. There were no reclassifications out of AOCI for the year ended December
31, 2014.
Stock Repurchases
On October 9, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase shares of the Company’s common
stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $5.0 million of its common stock over a period of one
year. The program allows stock repurchases from time to time at management’s discretion in the open market or in private
transactions at prevailing market prices. Repurchases will be made under the program using the Company’s cash resources. The stock
repurchase program may be limited or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors without prior notice. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2014, we repurchased 177,804 shares of common stock under the stock repurchase program for total consideration of
approximately $1.7 million. Additionally, during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we repurchased 4,585 shares of our common
stock surrendered to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs issued to employees.

(1) During the first quarter of 2014, in connection with the Company's 2014 organizational realignment, certain prior period
amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period's operating segment presentation. A certain amount of goodwill
is designated in a currency other than U. S. dollars and is adjusted each reporting period for the change in foreign exchange
rates between balance sheet dates.
(2) Includes goodwill classified as held for sale. Impairment amounts are included within results of discontinued operations.
(3) Gross goodwill balances for Premises, Credentials, Identity and All Other were $21.9 million, $10.9 million, $9.0 million
and $0.0 million, respectively as of January 1, 2013. Accumulated impairment for Premises, Credentials, Identity and All
Other were $0.0 million, $9.8 million, $7.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively as of January 1, 2013. Gross goodwill
classified as held for sale as of January 1, 2013 was $30.6 million and accumulated impairment was $10.0 million.
(4) Gross goodwill balances for Premises, Credentials, Identity and All Other were $21.9 million, $10.9 million, $9.0 million
and $0.0 million, respectively as of December 31, 2013. Accumulated impairment for Premises, Credentials, Identity and
All Other were $14.1 million, $10.9 million, $7.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively as of December 31, 2013.
(5) Gross goodwill balances for Premises, Credentials, Identity and All Other were $21.9 million, $10.8 million, $9.0 million
and $0.0 million, respectively as of December 31, 2014. Accumulated impairment for Premises, Credentials, Identity and
All Other were $14.1 million, $10.8 million, $7.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively as of December 31, 2014.
In accordance with its accounting policy and ASC 350, the Company tests goodwill annually for impairment and assesses
whether there are any indicators of impairment on an interim basis. The Company performs interim goodwill impairment reviews
between its annual reviews if certain events and circumstances have occurred, including a deterioration in general economic
conditions, an increased competitive environment, a change in management, key personnel, strategy or customers, negative or
declining cash flows, or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior
periods. The Company believes the methodology that it uses to review impairment of goodwill, which includes a significant amount of
judgment and estimates, provides it with a reasonable basis to determine whether impairment has occurred. However, many of the
factors employed in determining whether its goodwill is impaired are outside of its control and it is reasonably likely that assumptions
and estimates will change in future periods. These changes in assumptions and estimates could result in future impairments.
The Company performed its annual impairment test for all reporting units with goodwill on December 1, 2014 under the
qualitative assessment for impairment testing of the authoritative guidance and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair
value of the reporting units that have recorded goodwill exceeded their carrying amount. In assessing qualitative factors, the Company
considered the impact of key factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, direct margin product
improvement from prior year and in current expectations, movement in Company share price from the prior year and stability of key
management since the beginning of 2014. Accordingly, it was not necessary to perform the two-step method as required by ASC 350
as the Company concluded there was no impairment to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended
December 31, 2013, the Company identified factors to indicate a goodwill impairment was present during its interim assessment in the
third and fourth quarters of 2013, as described below.
76
When performing its annual goodwill impairment test and during its interim assessments, the Company first assesses qualitative
factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determined
it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company tests for goodwill
impairment using a two-step method as required by ASC 350. The first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of the
reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, goodwill is
considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under this second step, the
implied fair value of the goodwill is determined, in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination,
to assess the level of goodwill impairment, if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill
to the carrying value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is
recognized equal to that excess (i.e., goodwill is written down to the implied fair value of goodwill).
If the first step of the impairment test is required after determining it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is less than its carrying amount, the Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of market and income
approaches. Prior to its goodwill impairment test, the Company first tests its long-lived assets for impairment and adjusts the carrying
value of each asset group to its fair value and records the associated impairment charge, if any, in its Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The Company then performs its analysis of goodwill impairment using a two-step method as required by ASC 350. The
first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to
the respective reporting units. The market approach of the fair value calculation estimates the fair value of a business based on a
comparison of the Company to comparable firms in similar lines of business that are publicly traded or which are part of a public or
private transaction. The income approach requires estimates of expected revenue, gross margin and operating expenses in order to
discount the sum of estimated future cash flows using each particular reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital. The
Company’s growth estimates are based on historical data and internal estimates developed as part of its long-term planning process.
The Company tests the reasonableness of the inputs and outcomes of its discounted cash flow analysis by comparing these items to
available market data. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of
goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill value is determined, in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a
business combination, to assess the level of goodwill impairment, if any. During the second step, management estimates the fair value
of the Company’s tangible and intangible net assets. Intangible assets are identified and valued for each reporting unit for which the
second step is performed. The difference between the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and the sum of the fair value of the
identified net assets results in the implied value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of
goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company began a strategic review of certain under-performing business units for
potential divestiture and to simplify the Company’s operations and market focus. As a consequence of the strategic review, the
Company revised its forecasted revenue, gross margin and operating profit for future periods. In addition, the Company noted certain
other indicators of impairment, including a change in management following the appointment of a new CEO, a sustained decline in its
stock price, and continued reduced performance in certain reporting units partially as a result of the U.S. Government budget
sequester. Based on its reduced forecast and the indicators of impairment noted above, the Company performed an interim goodwill
impairment analysis as part of its quarterly close as of September 30, 2013. When the impairment test was performed in 2013, the
Company had six reporting units. These reporting units included Hirsch, ID Solutions, payment solution and idOnDemand, which
were the four components of the former Identity Management segment, and ID Infrastructure and Transponders, which were the two
components of the former ID Products segment. In December 2013 and February 2014, two of the four reporting units in the Identity
Management segment, ID Solutions and payment solution, were sold and these two reporting units no longer exist as a result. Based
on the results of step one of the goodwill impairment analysis, it was determined that the Company’s net adjusted carrying value
exceeded its estimated fair value for the Hirsch, ID Solutions, payment solution and idOnDemand reporting units. As a result, the
Company proceeded to the second step of the goodwill impairment test for these four reporting units to determine the implied fair
value of goodwill to calculate the impairment loss, if any.
Based on the results of step two of the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of
goodwill for the Hirsch, ID Solutions, payment solution and idOnDemand reporting units was impaired and recorded an impairment
charge of $27.3 million in its Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2013, of which $22.6
million was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $4.7 million was recorded during the three months ended
December 31, 2013. Of the total impairment charge of $27.3 million, $15.6 million was related to continuing operations and $11.7
million was related to the divested businesses and was reflected in discontinued operations.
Commencing in 2014, the Company has four reporting units and four reportable segments as discussed in Note 10, Segment
Reporting and Geographic Information. These reporting units include the Premises segment, the Identity segment, the Credentials
segment and an All Other segment.

Of the total intangible assets, certain acquired intangible assets are designated in a currency other than U.S. dollars and are
adjusted each reporting period for the change in foreign exchange rates between balance sheet dates. Each period, the Company
evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of purchased intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant
a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If a revision to the remaining period of amortization is warranted, amortization is
prospectively adjusted over the remaining useful life of the intangible asset. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on
a straight-line basis over their useful lives as outlined in the table above. The Company performs an evaluation of its amortizable
intangible assets for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not identify any impairment indicators during
the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company identified impairment in its interim assessment during the third quarter of 2013, as
mentioned below.
As noted above, the Company began a strategic review of certain under-performing business units for potential divestiture
during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. As a consequence, the Company performed an impairment analysis of intangible assets in
accordance with its accounting policy for reviewing long-lived assets for impairment. As a result of this analysis, the Company
identified that backlog was impaired and recorded an impairment charge in its Consolidated Statements of Operations of $0.2 million
during the year ended December 31, 2013. This impairment charge was related to divested businesses and was included within the
results of discontinued operations.

7. Long-Term Payment Obligation
Hirsch Acquisition – Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks. Prior to the 2009 acquisition of Hirsch by the Company, effective
November 1994, Hirsch had entered into a settlement agreement (the “1994 Settlement Agreement”) with two limited partnerships,
Secure Keyboards, Ltd. (“Secure Keyboards”) and Secure Networks, Ltd. (“Secure Networks”). At the time, Secure Keyboards and
Secure Networks were related to Hirsch through certain common shareholders and limited partners, including Hirsch’s then President
Lawrence Midland, who resigned as President of the Company effective July 31, 2014. Immediately following the acquisition,
Mr. Midland owned 30% of Secure Keyboards and 9% of Secure Networks. Secure Networks was dissolved in 2012 and Mr. Midland
owned 24.5% of Secure Keyboards upon his resignation effective July 31, 2014.
On April 8, 2009, Secure Keyboards, Secure Networks and Hirsch amended and restated the 1994 Settlement Agreement to
replace the royalty-based payment arrangement under the 1994 Settlement Agreement with a new, definitive installment payment
schedule with contractual payments to be made in future periods through 2020 (the “2009 Settlement Agreement”). The Company was
not an original party to the 2009 Settlement Agreement as the acquisition of Hirsch occurred subsequent to the 2009 Settlement
Agreement being entered into. The Company has, however, provided Secure Keyboards and Secure Networks with a limited guarantee
of Hirsch’s payment obligations under the 2009 Settlement Agreement (the “Guarantee”). The 2009 Settlement Agreement and the
Guarantee became effective upon the acquisition of Hirsch on April 30, 2009. The Company’s annual payment to Secure Keyboards
and Secure Networks in any given year under the 2009 Settlement Agreement is subject to an increase based on the percentage
increase in the Consumer Price Index during the previous calendar year.
The final payment to Secure Networks was made on January 30, 2012 and the final payment to Secure Keyboards is due on
January 30, 2021. The Company’s payment obligations under the 2009 Settlement Agreement will continue through the calendar year
period ending December 31, 2020, unless the Company elects at any time on or after January 1, 2012 to earlier satisfy its obligations
by making a lump-sum payment to Secure Keyboards. The Company does not intend to make a lump-sum payment and therefore a
portion of the payment obligation amount is classified as a long-term liability.
The Company included $0.6 million of interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in its Consolidated
Statements of Operations for interest accreted on the long-term payment obligation.
The ongoing payment obligation in connection with the Hirsch acquisition as of December 31, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):

Bank Term Loan and Revolving Loan Facility
On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Opus. The Credit Agreement
provides for a term loan in aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (“Term Loan”) which was drawn down on March 31, 2014,
and an additional $10.0 million revolving loan facility (“Revolving Loan Facility”), of which $4.0 million was drawn down on March
31, 2014 and an additional $2.0 million was drawn down during the three months ended June 30, 2014. On August 8, 2014, the
Company repaid $1.7 million on the Revolving Loan Facility. In connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company
repaid all outstanding amounts under its Hercules Debt Facility. The proceeds of the Term Loan and the initial proceeds under the
Revolving Loan Facility, after payment of fees and expenses and all outstanding amounts under the Hercules Debt Facility, were
approximately $7.8 million. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of
the Company. Certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan
Facility and have granted Opus security interests in substantially all of their respective assets.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company paid $170,000 in customary lender fees and
expenses, including facility fees. As discussed in Note 4, Stockholders’ Equity of Identiv, the Company issued the Opus Warrant to
purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $9.90. The Opus Warrant is
immediately exercisable for cash or by net exercise and will expire on March 31, 2019. The shares issuable upon exercise of the Opus
Warrant are to be registered at the request of Opus pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, entered into on March 31, 2014 by
the Company and Opus. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for standard S-3 and piggyback registration rights. The
Company calculated the fair value of the Opus Warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following
assumptions: estimated volatility of 92.09%, risk-free interest rate of 1.73%, no dividend yield and an expected life of five years. The
fair value of the Opus Warrant was determined to be $0.8 million. The Opus Warrant is classified as equity in accordance with ASC
505 as the settlement of the warrants will be in shares and is within the control of the Company. The Company allocated both the cash
and warrant (equity) consideration to the Term Loan and Revolving Loan Facility using the relative value of these loans. The
Company recorded a total of $0.9 million in issuance costs, both cash and equity, related to the Term Loan and Revolving Loan
Facility. Cost consideration of $0.5 million allocated for the Term Loan was recorded as a discount on the Term Loan and is reported
in the balance sheet as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Term Loan. The remaining $0.4 million in issuance costs was
allocated to the Revolving Loan Facility as a deferred charge, pursuant to ASC Topic 835-30, Imputation of Interest (“ASC 835-30”).
The issuance costs and discounts related to the Credit Agreement are amortized as interest expense in accordance with ASC 835-30
over the term of the Credit Agreement.
80
On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement dated March 31, 2014, with Opus (the
“Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the revolving loan facility was increased from $10.0 million
to $30.0 million and the revolving loan maturity date was extended to November 10, 2017. In addition, the Company will no longer be
required to make scheduled monthly installment payments of principal under the Term Loan. Rather, the entire principal balance of
the Term Loan will be due on March 31, 2017. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, both the principal amount of the
Term Loan and the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to: (a) if the
Company holds more than $30.0 million in cash with Opus, the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 1.50% and (ii) 4.75%; (b) if the
Company holds $30.0 million or less but more than $20.0 million in cash with Opus, the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 2.25% and
(ii) 5.50%; or (c) if the Company holds $20.0 million or less in cash with Opus, the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 2.75% and (ii)
6.00%. Interest on both facilities continues to be payable monthly. Additionally, the Amended Credit Agreement (i) modifies certain
loan covenants applicable to the Company’s stock repurchase plan (see above), (ii) removes from the loan collateral shares of the
Company’s capital stock repurchased by the Company and (iii) extends the current tangible net worth covenant by one year. The
Company paid .333% of the revolving loan facility as a lender fee in the aggregate amount of $100,000 upon the closing of the
Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company paid $75,000 in third party fees related to the debt modification. Under the
relevant debt restructuring accounting guidance found in ASC 470, the amendment to the Credit Agreement on November 10, 2014
has been treated as a debt modification. The Opus and third party fees have been allocated to the Revolving Loan Facility as a deferred
charge and to the discount on the Term Loan pursuant to ASC Topic 470-50-40 and are being amortized as interest expense over the
remaining term of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company may voluntarily prepay the Term Loan and outstanding amounts
under the Revolving Loan Facility, without prepayment charges, and is required to make prepayments of the Term Loan in certain
circumstances using the proceeds of asset sales or insurance or condemnation events.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative
covenants, including, limits or restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted
payments, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for customary financial
covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth covenant, a maximum senior leverage ratio and a minimum asset coverage ratio.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. In addition, it contains customary events of
default that entitle Opus to cause any or all of the Company’s indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement to become
immediately due and payable. Events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), include, among other
things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and
material judgment defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Opus may terminate its lending
commitments and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other
amounts payable under the Amended Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. The Company has considered the
components of the material adverse change clause of the Amended Credit Agreement and determined the likelihood of default under
the existing terms is remote. Accordingly, all amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement are classified as long-term in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Hercules Debt Facility
On October 30, 2012, the Company entered into the Hercules Debt Facility. The Hercules Debt Facility provided for a term loan
in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million and an additional $10.0 million in loan advances, provided certain financial
and other requirements were met as set forth in the Hercules Debt Facility. The initial drawdown of $7.5 million was secured by a
Secured Term Promissory Note dated October 30, 2012 (the “Secured Note”). The Company received net proceeds of $6.9 million
after incurring $0.6 million in issuance costs related to the Secured Note. The issuance costs were being amortized and included in
interest expense in accordance with ASC 835-30 over the term of the loan agreement. The Secured Note’s original maturity date was
November 1, 2015 and incurred interest at the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 7.75% and (ii) 11.00%. Interest on the Secured Note
was payable monthly beginning on November 1, 2012, and the principal balance was payable in 30 equal monthly installments
beginning on May 1, 2013.
In connection with the initial advance, the Company paid a $150,000 facility charge to Hercules, of which 50% would have
been credited to the Company if all advances under the Hercules Debt Facility were repaid on but not before maturity. The Company
was permitted to prepay outstanding amounts under the Secured Note, subject to certain prepayment charges as set out in the Secured
Note. The Company was also required to pay additional fees, consisting of end of term charge and success fees to Hercules in the
aggregate of $1,000,000, payable in three equal annual installments beginning on October 30, 2013. The entire amount of these fees
would become immediately due and payable if the Company prepaid all of its obligations under the Hercules Debt Facility or if
Hercules declared all obligations due and payable after an event of default thereunder. The Company recorded interest expense in its
Consolidated Statements of Operations on the Secured Note of $0.4 and $1.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 and
2013, respectively.
81
The Company and Hercules entered into amendments to the Hercules Debt Facility on March 5, 2013, on April 22, 2013 and on
August 7, 2013 and paid fees and issued warrants to purchase 99,208 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $7.10 per
share. The Hercules Warrants included a term of five years and contained usual and customary terms. The fair value of the Hercules
Warrants was determined to be $0.5 million on the date of issue. The Hercules warrants were classified as equity in accordance with
ASC 505 as the warrants, if exercised, would be settled in shares and were within the control of the Company. As of December 31,
2014, the Company issued 49,097 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of all of the Hercules Warrants.
All cash and equity consideration exchanged with Hercules for the amendments to the Hercules Debt Facility discussed above
were recorded as deferred costs and reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the secured
debt liability. The Hercules Debt Facility amendment fees were amortized as interest expense pursuant to ASC 835-30 over the
remaining term of the loan agreement. As discussed above, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts under the Hercules Debt
Facility in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement with Opus on March 31, 2014 and recorded $1.6 million in additional
interest expense in its Consolidated Statement of Operations. The total amount of $1.6 million in interest expense included $0.9
million related to a write-off of deferred costs, $0.6 million related to a write-off of discounts on the secured note and $0.1 million
related to prepayment charges and the forfeiture of a facility charge paid at the inception of the Hercules Debt Facility.
Other Obligations
In connection with its acquisition of payment solution in January 2012, through its majority-owned subsidiary Bluehill ID AG,
the Company assumed obligations for certain equipment financing liabilities, a bank loan and a revolving line of credit payable to a
bank. As disclosed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, the Company sold payment solution in December 2013 and all financial
liabilities were transferred upon sale of the subsidiary, effective December 19, 2013. Interest expense related to these financial
obligations was included within discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2013.
In connection with its acquisition of Bluehill ID AG, the Company had assumed an obligation for a mortgage loan and a related
revolving line of credit payable to a bank. The mortgage loan and the revolving line of credit were related to Multicard Nederland BV,
one of the 100%-owned subsidiaries of Bluehill ID AG, and were secured by the land and building to which they relate as well as total
inventory, machinery, stock, products and raw materials of the subsidiary. As disclosed above in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, the
Company sold Multicard Nederland BV on December 30, 2013 and all loan liabilities were transferred upon sale of the subsidiary.
Interest expense related to this mortgage loan and revolving line of credit was included within discontinued operations in the
Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for 2013.
In connection with its acquisition of FCI Smartag Pte. Ltd. (“Smartag”) in November 2010, the Company issued a debt note
with a face value of $2.2 million to FCI Asia Pte. Ltd. The acquisition debt note was fully paid off in May 2013. The debt note carried
an interest rate of 6% per year, compounded daily, and was payable within 30 months from the closing date. The Company recorded
interest expense on the debt note of $7,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 in its Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be
generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss
incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective
evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth.
A valuation allowance of $62.6 million and $56.6 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, has been
recorded to offset the related net deferred tax assets as the Company is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that such
deferred tax assets will be realized. The net deferred tax liabilities are primarily from foreign tax liabilities as well as intangibles
acquired as a result of the acquisition of Hirsch, which are not deductible for tax purposes. Federal and state deferred tax assets cannot
be used to offset foreign deferred tax liabilities.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $73.2 million for federal, $27.0 million for state
and $131.6 million for foreign income tax purposes. The Company’s loss carryforwards began to expire in 2015, and will continue to
expire through 2033 if not utilized.
83
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the “Reform Act”) limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain
situations where changes occur in stock ownership. The Company completed its acquisition of Bluehill ID on January 4, 2010, which
resulted in a stock ownership change as defined by the Reform Act. This transaction resulted in limitations on the annual utilization of
federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, the Company reevaluated its deferred tax assets available under the
Reform Act. The loss carryforward amounts, excluding the valuation allowance, presented above have been adjusted for the limitation
resulting from the change in ownership in accordance with the provisions of the Reform Act.

The Company has no present intention of remitting undistributed retained earnings of any of its foreign subsidiaries.
Accordingly, the Company has not established a deferred tax liability with respect to undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.
U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over
the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that is indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. This amount becomes
taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The determination and presentation
of the amount of such temporary differences as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, is not practicable because of complexities of the
hypothetical calculation.
The Company applies the provisions of, and accounted for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. It prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition.

While timing of the resolution and/or finalization of tax audits is uncertain, the Company does not believe that its unrecognized
tax benefits as disclosed in the above table would materially change in the next 12 months. The reduction to the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits during 2014 was primarily due to the expiration of statutes of limitations on tax attributes carried forward
for prior years.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $2.8 million and $2.6
million, respectively, which were accounted for as a decrease to deferred tax assets. Since there was a full valuation allowance against
these deferred tax assets, there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or results of operations for the years
2014 and 2013. Also the subsequent recognition, if any, of these previously unrecognized tax benefits would not affect the effective
tax rate. Such recognition would result in adjustments to other tax accounts, primarily deferred taxes. The amount of unrecognized tax
benefits, which, if recognized would affect the tax rate is $0.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. During
fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a reduction to accrued penalties of $51,000 and a reduction to accrued interest of $7,000 related to
the unrecognized tax benefits noted above. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized a total liability for penalties of
$15,000 and interest of $21,000. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a reduction to accrued penalties of $7,000 and a reduction
to accrued interest of $6,000 related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has
recognized a total liability for penalties of $65,000 and interest of $28,000.
The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns. The Company generally is no longer subject to tax
examinations for years prior to 2010. However, if loss carryforwards of tax years prior to 2010 are utilized in the U.S., these tax years
may become subject to investigation by the tax authorities.
10. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of
information about operating segments, products and services and by geographic areas. The method for determining what information
to report is based on the way management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and
assessing financial performance. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities
from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses and about which separate financial information is available to its chief operating
decision makers (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM are considered to be its CEO and CFO.
Identiv’s trust solutions allow people to trust their premises, information systems, and even everyday items. To deliver these
solutions, the Company reorganized its operations into four reportable business segments in the first quarter of 2014 principally by
product families: Premises, Identity, Credentials and All Other. As a result of the change, product families and services were
organized within the four segments. To provide improved visibility and comparability, the Company reclassified segment operating
results for 2013 to conform to the 2014 organizational realignments. In the Premises segment, Identiv’s Trust for Premises solution
secures buildings via an integrated access control system. Identiv’s uTrust premises product offerings include MX controllers,
Velocity management software, TS door readers, and third party products. In the Identity segment, Identiv delivers a solution to secure
enterprise information including PCs, networks, email encryption, login, and printers via delivery of smart card reader products and
identity management via our idOnDemand service. In the Credentials segment, the Company offers standards-driven hardware
products using near field communication (“NFC”), radio frequency identification (“RFID”) and smart card technologies, including
inlays, tags, readers and other products. In the All Other segment, the Company offers products, including Chipdrive and Media
readers. The products included in the All Other segment do not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments
in accordance with ASC 280 and therefore have been combined for reporting purposes.
The CODM reviews financial information and business performance for each operating segment. The Company evaluates the
performance of its operating segments at the revenue and gross profit levels. The Company does not report total assets, capital
expenditures or operating expenses by operating segment as such information is not used by the CODM for purposes of assessing
performance or allocating resources or has not been accounted for at the segment level.

11. Defined Benefit Plans
The Company assumed sponsorship of statutory pension plans in certain companies operating in Switzerland as part of the
BlueHill ID acquisition on January 4, 2010 and the polyright SA acquisition on July 18, 2011. These pension plans were maintained
by private insurance companies, and in accordance with Swiss law, the plans functioned as defined contribution plans whereby
employee and employer contributions were defined based upon a percentage of an individual’s salary and the age of the employee
using a minimum guaranteed interest rate, defined by the Swiss Federal Council which was reviewed every two years. Under U.S.
GAAP, these plans are treated as defined benefit plans. The Company measured the defined benefit plan assets and obligations in
accordance with ASC 715. As stated in Note 2, Discontinued Operations, the Company sold the Swiss entities which had these
pension plans during the fourth quarter of 2013. As a result, all the pension plan assets and obligations were transferred with the sale
of these entities to the buyer.

12. Restructuring and Severance
During the third and fourth quarters of 2013, there was a change of the Company’s CEO and CFO, and as part of management’s
efforts to simplify business operations, certain non-core functions were eliminated. As a result, the Company recorded $1.8 million in
restructuring and severance costs in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily related
to severance paid or accrued for our former CEO and CFO as well as other employees. The balance of the accrued restructuring
payable liability at December 31, 2013 was $1.1 million, which included $0.9 million in current liabilities and $0.2 million in other
long-term liabilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, certain employees were terminated as part of management’s efforts to simplify
business operations and facilities were closed or are scheduled to close. As a result, the Company recorded $3.1 million in
restructuring and severance costs, lease termination costs, stock award modification charges and other closure related costs in its
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company recorded an additional $0.4
million in severance costs during the year ended December 31, 2014 in general and administrative expenses related to executive
position resignations and eliminations in conjunction with recent corporate restructuring and cost reduction activities.
All unpaid restructuring and severance accruals are included in other accrued expenses and liabilities within current liabilities in
the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014. Restructuring and severance presented in the table below included current and
long-term balances at December 31, 2013. Restructuring and severance activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 were as

13. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company could be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business or be a defendant in
lawsuits. While the outcome of such claims or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management
expects that any such liabilities, to the extent not provided for by insurance or otherwise, would not have a material effect on the
Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases its facilities, certain equipment, and automobiles under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Those
lease agreements existing as of December 31, 2014 expire at various dates during the next four years.

The Company recognized rent expense of $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013,

Purchase commitments for inventories are highly dependent upon forecasts of customer demand. Due to the uncertainty in
demand from its customers, the Company may have to change, reschedule, or cancel purchases or purchase orders from its suppliers.
These changes may lead to vendor cancellation charges on these purchases or contractual commitments.
The Company provides warranties on certain product sales for periods ranging from 12 to 24 months, and allowances for
estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make
estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company currently
establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the
prior 12 months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from the Company’s
estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. Historically the warranty accrual and the
expense amounts have been immaterial.
15. Related Party Transaction
As discussed in Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, the Company recorded an earn-out obligation of $3.51 million as of
December 31, 2014 related to the SPA (as defined in Note 3). The SPA provided for further consideration to be paid to the Selling
Shareholders for each of the years or part years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 based on the achievement of specific
financial and sales performance targets, with the measurement of those achievements to be determined based on the financial records
of idOnDemand. However, since the idOnDemand product group has been fully integrated into the Company since the acquisition
and, as such, it was impractical to derive the discrete financial records of the related product group, the Company decided to engage a
third party independent valuation firm to assist in the validation of the Earn-out Consideration liability as of December 31, 2014. The
valuation was based on a calculation of the Company’s internal sales performance data as well as consideration of comparable
companies’ metrics and data. The Board of Directors of the Company considered this valuation, among other factors, and approved
the Earn-out Consideration liability for the period ended December 31, 2014.
As outlined in the SPA, certain of the Selling Shareholders include the Company’s CEO and CFO. The Earn-out Consideration
will be settled through the issuance of the Company’s common stock within 60 days from the release of annual results. Accordingly,
the $3.51 million Earn-out Consideration will be distributed to the Selling Shareholders in proportion to their former shareholdings,
which include approximately 87% held by our CEO and 0.3% held by our CFO. Company common shares issued will have a lock-up
period of 12 months from date of issue.
16. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2015, the Company issued 95,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 2,226,666 shares of Bluehill ID AG
not previously tendered in our acquisition of Bluehill ID AG in January 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as required in Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out
an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of members of our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable
assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on our evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2014. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, has
concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States, or U.S. GAAP.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and or directors; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets
that could have a material effect on the interim or annual consolidated financial statements.
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected.
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely
basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.
In making the assessment of internal control over financial reporting, our management based its assessment on the criteria issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework of
1992.” Our management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial
reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. This assessment is supported by
testing and monitoring performed by our internal accounting and finance organization.
92
Remediation of Prior Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As previously reported in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2013 and 2012, which arose due to an insufficient number of accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience or training
in U.S. GAAP. Specifically, this material weakness resulted from insufficient review and oversight involving the recording of
complex and non-routine transactions due to an insufficient number of accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience
or training in U.S. GAAP. This material weakness created a situation where a reasonable possibility that a material error related to
complex and non-routine transactions could occur in our financial statements and not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
In response to this material weakness, we developed remediation plans to address the material weakness. However, because of
the reorganization of and changes to our management team initiated at the end of 2013, the move of our executive headquarters to
Fremont, California and the timing of the transition of our accounting and finance function from Ismaning, Germany to Santa Ana,
California, mentioned elsewhere in this Form 10-K, certain remedial actions were delayed and the prior material weakness had not
been fully remediated. During 2014, we completed the transition of our accounting and finance function to California and added
personnel with experience and training in U.S. GAAP. Additionally, as part of our reorganizational changes, we streamlined our
reporting processes and simplified our operational structure to create additional efficiencies.
The Company has completed the implementation of remediation measures to address the material weakness described above
and, as of December 31, 2014, has concluded that the remediation activities implemented are sufficient to allow us to conclude that the
previously disclosed material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2014.
In addition, under the direction of the Audit Committee of the Board, our management will continue to review the overall design
of our internal control environment, and make changes to policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the items noted above, we have made no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
