V-ONE CORPORATION
V-ONE develops, markets, and licenses a comprehensive suite of network
security products that enables organizations to conduct secured electronic
transactions and information exchange using private enterprise networks and
public networks, such as the Internet. V-ONE's suite of products addresses
network user authentication, perimeter security, access control, and data
integrity through the use of smart cards, firewalls, and encryption technology.
V-ONE's products interoperate seamlessly and can be combined to form a complete,
integrated network security solution or can be used as independent components in
customized security solutions. V-ONE's products have been designed with an open
and flexible architecture to enable applications to work better and to support
future network security standards. In addition, V-ONE's products enable
organizations to deploy and scale their solutions from small, single-site
networks to large, multi-site environments and can accommodate both wireline and
wireless media.
V-ONE was incorporated in Maryland in February 1993 and reincorporated in
Delaware in February 1996. Effective July 2, 1996, V-ONE changed its name from
"Virtual Open Network Environment Corporation" to "V-ONE Corporation."
RISK FACTORS
V-ONE operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous
risks, some of which are beyond V-ONE's control. The following discussion
addresses risks V-ONE believes to be material to its business and operations.
This prospectus contains "forward-looking statements." Such statements involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause V-ONE's actual
performance or achievements to differ from any future performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Readers should carefully
consider the following risk factors before purchasing Common Stock of V-ONE.
Readers are also referred to the documents filed by V-ONE with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), specifically V-ONE's 2003 Annual Report on Form
10-K, which identify important risk factors for V-ONE.
LACK OF AVAILABLE CAPITAL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT V-ONE'S ABILITY TO
CONTINUE OPERATIONS; COMPLETION OF AN OFFERING OF SECURITIES COULD BE CRUCIAL TO
V-ONE'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.
V-ONE may not be able to continue operations beyond December 31, 2004
unless it raises additional capital or receives purchase orders under active
programs for federal, state and local governments that have been delayed as the
federal government has sought to define the nature and scope of its Homeland
Security initiative. V-ONE's operating activities used cash of approximately
$29,000 in 2003, at an average "burn rate" of approximately $2,400 per month.
V-ONE is continuing to streamline operations and reduce costs as it implements
its turnaround strategy. V-ONE's approach as it navigates the market penetration
phase of its turnaround program focuses on distribution of V-ONE's products to
existing customers and channel partners. That said, V-ONE is very focused on the
fact that its cash position may not be adequate to allow the Company to
capitalize on all of the opportunities it has initiated. V-ONE will focus its
engineering design efforts on completing features committed to meet the needs of
existing and potential customers in the government sector and supporting
relationships with its channel partners for sales and marketing to commercial
accounts. V-ONE may not be able to maintain operations for any extended period
of time without additional capital or a significant strategic transformative
event. V-ONE's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its
ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis or to obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the timing
of acceptance and implementation of V-ONE's products with existing customers or
proposed agreements will generate revenue for V-ONE to cover its cost of
operations and meet its cash flow requirements.
V-ONE MAY NEED TO RAISE FUNDS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL
SECURITIES, WHICH ISSUANCES MAY DIMINISH THE VALUE OF ITS OUTSTANDING
SECURITIES.
V-ONE may need to raise additional capital to fund the costs associated
with the operation of its business beyond December 31, 2004. To meet its cash
needs in the near term, V-ONE is depending upon product sales. V-ONE also
intends to seek additional funding when market conditions improve. There can be
no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
2
If V-ONE receives additional funding, it may be obligated to issue shares
of preferred stock and securities convertible into shares of Common Stock. The
issuance of such additional shares and securities may substantially dilute the
value of V-ONE. Such additional shares and securities may contain terms allowing
for, among other things, certain preferences in allocation of net income or
profits, in distributions of cash and property or in liquidation. Other terms
may possibly include protections against potential dilution of an investor's
interest by the issuance of new equity by V-ONE or preemptive and maintenance
rights to maintain such equity interest, special voting rights or rights in
connection with the potential future registration of V-ONE's securities for sale
to the public.
COMPLETION OF A PRIVATE OFFERING MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE RIGHTS OF THE
HOLDERS OF V-ONE PREFERRED STOCK AND 7% NOTES.
There are currently two outstanding classes of V-ONE's preferred stock. As
more particularly set forth in V-ONE's Certificate of Incorporation, holders of
shares of V-ONE's Series C and Series D Preferred Stock have rights and
preferences that may obligate V-ONE to obtain their consent prior to issuing
preferred stock in a private offering. If V-ONE is not able to obtain the
consent of these security holders on terms acceptable to prospective investors
in an offering, V-ONE may not be able to complete the private offering in a
timely manner. Similarly, holders of V-ONE's 7% Subordinated Convertible Notes
("7% Notes") have rights and preferences that may obligate V-ONE to obtain their
consent prior to issuing additional securities in a private offering.
ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF A SLOW GLOBAL ECONOMY COULD IMPAIR V-ONE'S
REVENUES.
A slow global economy, as hampered by the events of September 11, 2001, has
created an uncertain international economic environment, and management cannot
predict the impact of any future terrorist acts or any related military action
on V-ONE's customers or their businesses. In particular, V-ONE's commercial
customers could be negatively affected by the sluggish international economy.
Although management believes that spending on security products will increase as
a result of these events, if businesses curtail or eliminate capital spending on
information technology, or if downturns in the Internet infrastructure and
related markets continue, businesses may delay or cancel orders for security
products which could result in reduced or cancelled orders for V-ONE's products.
In addition, these uncertain economic times could cause longer sales cycles,
payment delays and price pressure, and consequently, V-ONE may not meet its
financial forecast.
V-ONE'S CONTINUED LOSSES AND ACCUMULATED DEFICIT COULD AFFECT PROFITABILITY
AND MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF V-ONE'S PRODUCTS.
As of December 31, 2003, V-ONE had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$66,514,000. V-ONE is implementing a turnaround business plan, which management
believes will enable V-ONE to achieve profitable operating results in the
future. V-ONE may not, however, achieve or sustain profitability or significant
revenues in the short run. To address these risks, V-ONE must, among other
things, continue its emphasis on research and development, successfully execute
and implement its marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments and
seek to attract and retain talented personnel. V-ONE may be unable successfully
to address these risks and the failure to do so could affect V-ONE's ability to
fully implement its marketing strategy and achieve profitability and may have a
material adverse effect on the market acceptance of V-ONE's products. V-ONE was
founded in February 1993 and introduced its first product in December 1994.
Accordingly, V-ONE did not generate any significant revenues until 1995 when it
commenced sales of its firewall product and introduced its SmartGate
client/server system. Revenues for the years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003
were approximately $4,966,000, $4,554,000, $4,990,000, $3,553,000 and
$4,003,000, respectively. Losses attributable to holders of Common Stock for the
years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 were approximately $9,952,000, $9,232,000,
$9,911,000, $6,335,000 and $1,392,000, respectively. V-ONE's results of
operations in recent periods may not be an accurate indication of future results
of operations in light of the evolving nature of the network security market and
the uncertainty of the demand for Internet and intranet products in general and
V-ONE's products in particular.
3
SALES TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CONSTITUTE A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF V-ONE'S
REVENUE AND ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS POLICIES AND LENGTHY TESTING PERIODS THAT
EXPOSE V-ONE TO FINANCIAL RISKS.
No government agency or department has an obligation to purchase products
from V-ONE in the future and the government may terminate its contracts without
cause. Moreover, sales to and contracts with government agencies are subject to
reductions or delays in funding, risks of disallowance of costs upon audit,
changes in government procurement policies, the necessity to participate in
competitive bidding and, with respect to contracts involving prime contractors
or government-designated subcontractors, the inability of such parties to
perform under their contracts. In addition, product implementation in government
sales may be subject to extended periods of rigorous validation testing and a
lengthy approval process by government agencies and bureaus within an agency.
Such testing and approval may delay contract awards and payments to V-ONE under
such contracts. Sales to the U.S. government constituted approximately 67% of
V-ONE's revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. V-ONE expects to
derive a significant amount of its revenue in 2004 from sales to government
agencies.
RISKS OF COMPETITION COULD AFFECT V-ONE'S MARKET SHARE AND ADVERSELY AFFECT
REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY.
V-ONE faces intense competition in all of its market segments. The market
for network security products is very competitive and V-ONE expects competition
to intensify in the future. There can be no assurance that V-ONE's products will
command a significant share of the network security market. Many of V-ONE's
competitors have significantly greater resources, generate higher revenue and
have greater name recognition than V-ONE. There can be no assurance that V-ONE's
competitors will not develop products that are superior to those developed by
V-ONE or adapt more quickly than V-ONE to new technologies or evolving industry
trends. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross
margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on V-ONE's revenue stream. There is no assurance that V-ONE will be able
to compete effectively against current or future competitors.
RISK OF ERRORS, FAILURES AND PRODUCT LIABILITY COULD AFFECT MARKET
ACCEPTANCE OF V-ONE'S PRODUCTS.
The complex nature of V-ONE's software products can make the detection of
errors or failures difficult when products are introduced. If errors or failures
are subsequently discovered, this may result in delays, lost revenues, lost
customers during the correction process, damage to V-ONE's reputation and claims
and damages against V-ONE. A malfunction or the inadequate design of V-ONE's
products could result in tort or warranty claims. V-ONE generally attempts to
reduce the risk of such losses to itself and to the companies from which it
licenses technology through warranty disclaimers and liability limitation
clauses in its license agreements. V-ONE may not have obtained adequate
contractual protection in all instances or where otherwise required under
agreements V-ONE has entered into with others. In addition, these measures may
not be effective in limiting V-ONE's liability to end users and to the companies
from which V-ONE licenses technology. V-ONE currently has liability insurance.
However, V-ONE's insurance coverage may not be adequate and any product
liability claim against V-ONE for damages resulting from security breaches could
be substantial. In addition, a well-publicized actual or perceived security
breach could adversely affect V-ONE's customer relationships and the market's
perception of security products in general or V-ONE's products in particular.
RISK OF DEVELOPMENT DELAYS COULD AFFECT V-ONE'S ABILITY TO MEET DELIVERY
SCHEDULES.
V-ONE may experience delays in software development triggered by factors
such as insufficient staffing or the unavailability of development-related
software, hardware or technologies. Further, when developing new software
products, V-ONE's schedules may be altered as a result of changes to the product
specifications in response to customer requirements, market developments,
performance problems or V-ONE-initiated changes. In the past, alterations to the
in-process development of a product have caused delays in the product's
development schedule and have adversely affected V-ONE's ability to timely
provide enhancements for the product. When developing complex software products,
the technology market may shift during the development cycle, requiring V-ONE
either to enhance or change a product's specifications. All of these factors may
4
cause a product to enter the market behind schedule, which may adversely affect
market acceptance of the product or place it at a disadvantage to a competitor's
product that has already gained market share or market acceptance during the
delay.
RISKS RELATING TO EVOLVING DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS COULD HINDER MARKETING
INITIATIVES.
V-ONE relies on its direct sales force and its channel distribution
strategy for the sale and marketing of its products. V-ONE's sales and marketing
organization may be unable to successfully compete against the more extensive
and well-funded sales and marketing operations of certain of its current and
future competitors. V-ONE's distribution strategy involves the development of
relationships with resellers and international distributors and the
implementation of strategic partnering initiatives to enable V-ONE to achieve
broad market penetration. However, V-ONE may be unable to complete strategic
partnering initiatives or continue to attract integrators and resellers that
will be able to market V-ONE's products effectively and that will be qualified
to provide timely and cost-effective customer support and service. V-ONE ships
products to distributors, integrators and resellers on receipt of a purchase
order, and its distributors, integrators and resellers generally carry competing
product lines. Current distributors, integrators and resellers may not continue
to represent V-ONE's products. The inability to recruit, or the loss of,
important sales personnel, distributors, integrators or resellers could hinder
V-ONE's marketing initiatives and its ability to achieve broader market
penetration.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LONG SALES CYCLE MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO PREDICT
RESULTS.
The sales cycle associated with V-ONE's products is lengthy due to a number
of significant risks over which V-ONE has little or no control. While it varies
from sale to sale, the average length of V-ONE's sales cycle can be six months
or more. As a result, V-ONE finds it difficult to predict quarterly results, and
order backlog, if any, at the beginning of any period may represent only a small
portion of that period's expected revenues. As a result, product revenues in any
period will be substantially dependent on orders booked and registered in that
period.
MARKET VOLATILITY COULD AFFECT V-ONE'S STOCK PRICE.
The market price of V-ONE's Common Stock could be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results and other
factors, such as announcements of new products by V-ONE or its competitors and
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or other events. Moreover,
the stock market has experienced extreme volatility that has particularly
affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies and
that has often been unrelated and disproportionate to the operating performance
of such companies. Broad market fluctuations, as well as economic conditions
generally and in the software industry specifically, may adversely affect the
market price of V-ONE's Common Stock.
V-ONE DEPENDS ON KEY PERSONNEL WHO WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE.
V-ONE's success depends, to a large extent, upon the performance of its
senior management and its technical, sales and marketing personnel. There is
intense competition in the software security industry to hire and retain
qualified personnel. V-ONE's success will depend upon its ability to retain and,
if necessary, hire additional key personnel. The loss of key personnel or the
inability to attract additional qualified personnel could materially and
adversely affect V-ONE's results of operations and product development efforts.
V-ONE has entered into an employment agreement with Margaret E. Grayson, its
President and Chief Executive Officer, that provides for fixed terms of
employment. However, V-ONE has not historically provided such types of
employment agreements to its other employees. This practice may adversely affect
V-ONE's ability to attract and retain the necessary technical, management and
other key personnel.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
In the closing of the private placement of the 7% Notes on February 27,
2004, V-ONE granted registration rights to the purchasers of the 7% Notes
whereby V-ONE is obligated, in certain instances, to register the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 7% Notes and exercise of the
warrants granted in connection with the offering of the 7% Notes. For a detailed
description of the terms of the 7% Notes and warrants, refer to the discussion
of "7% Subordinated Convertible Notes" in the Description of Securities section
of this prospectus on page 12.
The following table sets forth the names of the stockholders selling shares
of Common Stock in this offering, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by each selling stockholder as of September 30, 2004 (except
as noted below) and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be offered for
sale pursuant to this prospectus by each such selling stockholder.
7
The selling stockholders own their shares either in the form of (i) 7%
Notes convertible into shares of Common Stock or (ii) warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock. In some instances, the shares offered pursuant to this
prospectus may be sold by the pledgees, donees or transferees of or other
successors in interest to the selling stockholders. Except as set forth below,
none of the selling stockholders has held any position, office or other material
relationship with V-ONE or any of its affiliates within the past three years
other than as a result of the transaction that results in its ownership of
shares of Common Stock.
The shares may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders
named below. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell
all or any portion of such shares, nor are the selling stockholders obligated to
sell any such shares immediately pursuant to the Registration Statement. Because
the selling stockholders may sell all or part of their shares, no estimate can
be given as to the number of shares of Common Stock that will be held by any
selling stockholder after termination of any offering made by this prospectus.

From time to time, the selling stockholders may transfer, pledge, donate or
assign their shares to lenders, family members and others and upon acquiring the
shares, such persons will be deemed to be selling stockholders for purposes of
this prospectus. The number of shares beneficially owned by the selling
stockholders who so transfer, pledge, donate or assign shares will decrease as
and when they take such actions. The plan of distribution for shares sold
hereunder will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees,
pledgees, donees or other successors will be selling stockholders hereunder.
USE OF PROCEEDS
There will be no proceeds to V-ONE from the sale of the shares by the
selling stockholders. Any proceeds from the sales of Common Stock received by
the selling stockholders will be retained by the selling stockholders.
10
V-ONE will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to the
registration, offering and sale of the shares to the public other than
commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers or agents and the
expenses of counsel to the selling stockholders. Such expenses are estimated to
be approximately $33,000. V-ONE has also agreed to indemnify the selling
stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares are being offered on behalf of the selling stockholders, and
V-ONE will not receive any proceeds from this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling
stockholders, or by pledgees, donees or tranferees of, or other successors in
interest to, the selling stockholders, directly to one or more purchasers
(including pledgees) or through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act
solely as agents or may acquire shares as principals, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed.
The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the
following methods:
o ordinary brokers' transactions, which may include long or short sales
o transactions involving cross or block trades or otherwise on the "Pink
Sheets" or on any other stock exchange or trading facility on which
the Common Stock may be trading
o purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principals and resale
by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus
o "at the market" to or through market makers or into an existing market
for the Common Stock
o in other ways not involving market makers or established trading
markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected
through agents
o through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether
exchange-listed or otherwise) or
o any combination of the foregoing, or by any other legally available
means.
In addition, the selling stockholders or their successors in interest may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short
sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they
assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders or their
successors in interest may also enter into options or other transactions with
broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares.
Those shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.
In addition, the selling stockholders from time to time may sell short the
Common Stock of V-ONE. In such instances, this prospectus may be delivered in
connection with such short sales and the shares may be used to cover such short
sales. Any or all of the sales or other transactions involving the shares
described above may be made pursuant to this prospectus, whether effected by the
selling stockholders, any broker-dealer or others. In addition, any shares that
qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The shares may also
be offered in one or more underwritten offerings, on a firm commitment or best
efforts basis.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution
of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions,
discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders and/or purchasers of the
shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent, or to whom they may sell
as principal, or both. The compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be
less than or in excess of customary commissions. The selling stockholders and
any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of shares hereunder may
be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
and any commissions they receive and proceeds of any sale of shares may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of
11
1933. Neither V-ONE nor any selling stockholder can presently estimate the
amount of such compensation. V-ONE knows of no existing arrangements between any
selling stockholder and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or
agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to V-ONE's Common
Stock for a period of one business day prior to the commencement of such
distribution and ending upon such person's completion of participation in the
distribution, subject to certain exceptions for passive market making
transactions. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling
stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, to the extent required, a
supplemental prospectus will be distributed that will set forth the number of
shares being offered and the terms of the offering including the name or names
of the selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents, the
purchase price paid by an underwriter for the shares purchased from the selling
stockholders and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed
or paid to dealers.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable,
the shares may be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
V-ONE is authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
$0.001 par value per share, and 13,333,333 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par
value per share.
The following summary of certain provisions of V-ONE's Common Stock and
preferred stock contains only the material provisions of V-ONE's capital stock,
the complete provisions of which may be found in and are subject to V-ONE's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws and are subject to the
provisions of applicable law.
COMMON STOCK
As of November 15, 2004, there were 15,642,555 shares of Common Stock
outstanding that were held of record by approximately 226 stockholders.
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Dividends, if any,
may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
payment of dividends. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of
capital stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale,
or winding up of V-ONE, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, including, but not
limited to, notes of V-ONE, and liquidation preferences of any outstanding
shares of preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to
subscribe for any of V-ONE's securities or rights to convert their Common Stock
into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to the Common Stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
V-ONE's Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 13,333,333
shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences
and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such
series, without any further vote or action by shareholders. The issuance of
12
preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of V-ONE. V-ONE currently has 42,904 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
("Series C Shares") outstanding and 1,510,500 shares of Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series D Shares") outstanding.
Series C Preferred Stock
------------------------
On September 9, 1999, V-ONE issued 335,000 Series C Shares and
non-detachable warrants to purchase 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock ("Series C
Warrants"). Each Series C Share was issued with a Series C Warrant to purchase
ten shares of Common Stock. The Series C Warrants were immediately exercisable
at a price of $2.625 per share and remain exercisable until 90 days after all of
the Series C Shares have been redeemed and the shares of the Common Stock
underlying the Series C Warrants have been registered for resale. On May 14,
2004, V-ONE effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the number of
non-detachable warrants to 1,675,000 and the exercise price to $5.25 per share.
The Series C Shares bear cumulative compounding dividends at an annual rate
of 10.0% for the first five years, 12.5% for the sixth year and 15.0% in and
after the seventh year. The dividends may be paid in cash, or at the option of
V-ONE, in shares of registered Common Stock. The Series C Shares are not
convertible and rank senior to the Common Stock and Series D Shares as to
payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of V-ONE. Holders of the Series C Shares are entitled to a
liquidation preference of $26.25 per share. There are no sinking fund provisions
applicable to the Series C Shares.
At least 51.0% of the outstanding Series C Shares must vote affirmatively
as a separate class for (i) the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of V-ONE, (ii) the issuance of any securities senior to the Series C Shares,
(iii) the declaration or payment of a cash dividend on all junior stocks and
(iv) certain amendments to V-ONE's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Prior to the exercise of the Series C Warrants, the holders of Series C Shares
are entitled to ten common votes for each Series C Share on all matters on which
common stockholders are entitled to vote, except in connection with the election
of the Board of Directors. As long as at least 51.0% of the Series C Shares are
outstanding, the holders shall have the right to elect one director to V-ONE's
Board of Directors.
V-ONE has the right to redeem the outstanding Series C Shares in whole (i)
at any time after the third anniversary of the issuance date, (ii) upon the
closing of an underwritten public offering in excess of $20 million and at a
price in excess of $6.50 per share or (iii) prior to the third anniversary of
the issuance date if the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for any
20 trading days during any 30 trading days ending within five trading days prior
to the date of notice of redemption is at least $3.9375 per share. The
redemption price will be paid in cash in full and will be equal to the greater
of $52.50 per share (giving effect to V-ONE's 1:2 reverse stock split effected
on May 14, 2004) or the fair market value of each Series C Share plus all unpaid
dividends.
At any time after all of the Series C Warrants have been exercised by a
holder, that holder shall have the right to require V-ONE to redeem all of its
then outstanding Series C Shares. The redemption price for each Series C Share
is $52.50 per share (giving effect to V-ONE's 1:2 reverse stock split effected
on May 14, 2004) plus all unpaid dividends and is payable at the option of V-ONE
in either cash or shares of Common Stock.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
------------------------------------
On February 14, 2001, V-ONE issued 3,675,000 Series D Shares and detachable
warrants to purchase 735,000 shares of Common Stock ("Series D Warrants"). The
Series D Shares were sold in units, with each unit consisting of five Series D
Shares and a Series D Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Series
D Warrants were exercisable at a price of $2.29 per share and were exercisable
through February 14, 2004.
The Series D Shares bear cumulative compounding dividends at an annual rate
of 10.0% for the first five years, 12.5% for the sixth year and 15.0% in and
after the seventh year. The dividends may be paid in cash, or at the option of
V-ONE, in shares of registered Common Stock. The Series D Shares are convertible
at any time into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price of $1.91
and the initial conversion ratio of one Series D Share for one share of Common
Stock. Both the conversion price and conversion ratio are subject to equitable
13
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and similar
transactions, and in the event V-ONE issues shares of Common Stock at a purchase
price less than the then current conversion price. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE
effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the conversion price to $3.82 per
share. The Series D Shares will be automatically converted into Common Stock
upon the closing of an underwritten public offering in excess of $20 million and
at a price in excess of $3.00 per share
The Series D Shares rank senior to the Common Stock and junior to the
Series C Shares as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of V-ONE. Holders of the Series D Shares
are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) $1.91 plus
any unpaid accrued preferred dividends and (ii) the dollar value per share for
the Series D Shares that a holder of such shares would have been entitled to
receive had such shares been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of V-ONE. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE
effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the liquidation preference to the
greater of $3.82 plus any unpaid accrued preferred dividends and (ii) the dollar
value per share for the Series D Shares that a holder of such shares would have
been entitled to receive had such shares been converted into Common Stock
immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of V-ONE. There
are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series D Shares.
Except as to matters addressed in the next sentence, the holders of the
Series D Shares have the right to vote that number of shares equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of their Series D Shares
and vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. For so
long as at least 51.0% of the number of Series D Shares outstanding on February
14, 2001 remains outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of
at least 51.0% of the then outstanding number of Series D Shares, voting
separately as a class, is required for (i) the voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of V-ONE, (ii) the issuance of any securities senior
to or on parity with the Series D Shares, (iii) the declaration or payment of a
cash dividend on all junior stocks and (iv) certain amendments to V-ONE's
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
V-ONE has the right to redeem the outstanding Series D Shares in whole at
any time after February 14, 2004. The redemption price will be paid in cash in
full and be the greater of $1.91 per share or the fair market value of each
Series D Share plus all unpaid dividends. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE effected a 1:2
reverse stock split modifying the redemption price to be the greater of $3.82
per share or the fair market value of each Series D Share plus all unpaid
dividends.
Beginning on February 14, 2007, and for each of the next three years
thereafter, the holders of Series D Shares will have the cumulative right to
require V-ONE to redeem annually up to one-fourth of the Series D Shares issued
by V-ONE to each such holder. The redemption right can be settled through the
issuance of Common Stock, at the option of V-ONE. The redemption price for each
Series D Share is $1.91 per share plus all unpaid dividends. On May 14, 2004,
V-ONE effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the redemption price for each
Series D Share to be $3.82 per share plus all unpaid dividends.

8% Secured Convertible Notes
----------------------------
In closings on July 23 and 26 and August 2, 2002, V-ONE issued 8% Secured
Convertible Notes ("8% Notes") with detachable warrants for an aggregate
principal amount of $1,188,000. The 8% Notes mature 180 days after issuance with
an additional 180-day extension available at the option of the Company or the
holders. The rate of interest payable during such extension of the 8% Notes is
10% per annum. All of the 8% Notes have been converted to shares of common
stock.
In connection with the 8% Notes offering, V-ONE issued detachable warrants
to purchase 1,188,000 shares of Common Stock to provide 100% warrant coverage to
the holders of the 8% Notes. The initial exercise price of the warrants is $0.50
per share and they are exercisable for a period beginning six months after
issuance and ending five years after issuance. V-ONE will have the right to
require the exercise of the warrants if the closing sales price of V-ONE Common
Stock is equal to or greater than $6.00 per share (giving effect to V-ONE's 1:2
reverse stock split effected on May 14, 2004) for any consecutive 20 trading
days and the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933.
The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
exercise of the warrants are subject to equitable adjustment in the event of
stock dividends, stock splits and similar events affecting the Common Stock. In
addition, if V-ONE issues any shares of Common Stock or equivalents at a
purchase price less than the then current market price of the Common Stock or
the warrant exercise price, the exercise price will be equitably reduced, and
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the warrants
adjusted accordingly.
Also in connection with the 8% Notes offering, V-ONE granted warrants to
purchase a total of 336,750 shares of Common Stock to Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC
and LaSalle St. Securities, LLC, placement agent and subagent, respectively, for
the 8% Notes offering. The terms of the placement agent warrants mirror those of
the detachable warrants granted in connection with the 8% Notes offering.
In connection with its efforts to raise capital, V-ONE agreed in January
2003 to adjust the exercise price of the warrants from $.50 per share to $.15
per share. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying
the exercise price to $.30 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock to
452,977. As of September 30, 2004, there were warrants outstanding to purchase
905,954 shares of Common Stock.
7% Subordinated Convertible Notes
---------------------------------
In a closing on February 27, 2004, V-ONE issued 7% Subordinated Convertible
Notes ("7% Notes") with warrants for an aggregate principal amount of
$1,200,000, resulting in net proceeds to V-ONE of $1,065,690. The 7% Notes
mature on February 27, 2009. Interest at the rate of 7% per annum is payable
semi-annually at the option of V-ONE in cash or in shares of Common Stock. The
7% Notes rank senior to the Common Stock and junior to the Series C Shares and
Series D Shares as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of V-ONE. So long as at least
$500,000 of the principal amount of the 7% Notes is outstanding, the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the 7% Notes
outstanding is required to issue any securities that rank senior to or on parity
with the 7% Notes.
Under the original terms of the 7% Notes, the holders could convert the
principal amount of their 7% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time into shares
of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE
effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the original conversion price of
the 7% Notes to $0.40 per share. In addition, subject to certain terms, the
principal amount of the 7% Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest shall
automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the then current conversion
price on the earlier of (i) February 27, 2009 and (ii) the first date which is
at least 180 days following the effective date of the Registration Statement
15
providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the 7% Notes that the closing bid price of V-ONE Common Stock exceeds $1.00
for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE effected a
1:2 reverse stock split modifying the closing bid price to $2.00 per share.
An event of default will occur if V-ONE fails to make any principal payment
under the 7% Notes, V-ONE fails to make any interest payment for a period of
five days after such payment is due, V-ONE fails to timely file the Registration
Statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the 7% Notes or the Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the SEC within 180 days of February 27, 2004, the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement lapses for a period of 20 consecutive trading days,
or upon the occurrence of other default events, including, but not limited to,
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, an application for the appointment
of a trustee or receiver or the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding. In such
events of default, the 7% Note holders may demand that the Company pay interest
on the outstanding principal balance of the 7% Notes at the lesser of 12% and
the maximum applicable legal rate per annum from the date of the event of
default until such default is cured. If such events of default continue, the 7%
Note holders may at their option, (i) declare the entire unpaid principal
balance of the 7% Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, due and
payable, (ii) demand that the principal amount of the 7% Notes then outstanding
and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon be converted into shares of Common
Stock, or (iii) exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of their rights
under the 7% Notes and related agreements.
Upon the occurrence of certain events of default and other triggering
events, a 7% Note holder shall have the right to require V-ONE to prepay in cash
all or a portion of the holder's 7% Note at 120% of the aggregate principal
amount of the 7% Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Similar provisions
apply if V-ONE cannot fully convert a 7% Note into shares of registered Common
Stock upon the receipt of a proper conversion notice from the holder. In
addition, in the event of a major corporate transaction such as the
consolidation, merger or other business combination of V-ONE into another entity
or a sale or transfer of more than 50% of V-ONE's assets, the 7% Note holder
shall have the right to require V-ONE to prepay in cash all or a portion of the
holder's 7% Note at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7% Note, plus
all accrued and unpaid interest. If the major corporate transaction is
consummated within six months of the issuance of the 7% Note, then the
prepayment shall be at 110% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7% Note,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Also, beginning one year after the
issuance of the 7% Notes, V-ONE may prepay any portion or all of the outstanding
principal balance of the 7% Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest
at 110% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7% Notes plus any accrued and
unpaid interest.
For twelve months after the issuance of the 7% Notes, each holder shall
have a right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata portion of V-ONE Common
Stock (or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common
Stock) offered to a third party in a private transaction on the same terms as
those offered to the third party, other than in certain permitted financings. If
a holder elects not to exercise its right of first refusal, the other holders
may participate on a pro rata basis. If the holders do not participate, V-ONE
may proceed with the transaction with the third party.
In connection with the 7% Notes offering, V-ONE issued detachable warrants
to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the holders of the 7% Notes. The
warrants are exercisable beginning on August 27, 2004 at an exercise price of
$0.25 per share and expire on August 27, 2008. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE effected a
1:2 reverse stock split reducing the number of shares purchasable under the
warrants to 3,000,000 and increasing the exercise price to $0.50. Beginning 180
days after the effective date of a Registration Statement providing for the
resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 7% Notes
and exercise of the warrants, V-ONE may call up to 100% of the warrants if the
per share market value of its Common Stock has been greater than $0.75 for a
period of 20 consecutive trading days by issuing a call notice to the warrant
holders. On May 14, 2004, V-ONE effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the
per share market value required for a call of the warrants to $1.50. The rights
and privileges granted to a warrant holder with respect to the shares subject to
the call notice shall expire on the twentieth day after the holder receives the
call notice if the holder does not exercise the warrant. If the holder does not
exercise the warrant, V-ONE shall remit to the warrant holder (i) $0.01 per
share subject to the call notice and (ii) a new warrant representing the number
of shares of Common Stock, if any, which were not subject to the call notice.
16
The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
conversion of the 7% Notes and exercise of the warrants are subject to equitable
adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and similar events
affecting the Common Stock. In addition, if V-ONE issues any shares of Common
Stock or equivalents at a purchase price less than the then current conversion
price for the 7% Notes or warrant exercise price, the conversion price and
warrant exercise price will be equitably reduced, and number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued upon conversion of the 7% Notes and exercise of the warrants
adjusted accordingly. However, in no event shall the conversion price, or
exercise price in the event of the issuance of V-ONE securities at less than the
current warrant exercise price, be less than $0.15 per share. On May 14, 2004,
V-ONE effected a 1:2 reverse stock split modifying the minimum warrant exercise
price to $0.30 per share.
Also in connection with the 7% Notes offering, V-ONE granted warrants to
purchase up to a total of 1,260,000 shares of Common Stock to H.C. Wainwright &
Co., Inc., placement agent for the 7% Notes offering. As a result of the stock
split effected in May 2004, the shares that may be purchased under warrants
issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. have been reduced to 630,000. H.C.
Wainwright & Co. transferred warrants to purchase 438,375 shares of Common Stock
to certain of its employees who are listed in the table of selling stockholders
in the Selling Stockholders section of this prospectus on pages 8-10. None of
the H.C. Wainwright employees acquired such shares to be resold in the ordinary
course of business or had any agreements or understanding, directly or
indirectly, to distribute such shares at the time of distribution. The placement
agent warrants contain a cashless exercise provision. The other terms of the
placement agent warrants mirror those of the warrants granted in connection with
the 7% Notes offering.
The merger agreement for the Company's anticipated merger with SteelCloud,
Inc. required that the Company's outstanding 7% Notes be cancelled and converted
into the right to receive specified merger consideration and that all related
note instruments be terminated without any obligation of the 7% Note holders or
the Company. In contemplation of the merger, the Company and the 7% Note holders
executed agreements effecting the note cancellation, which agreements provided
that the note cancellation would be void if the merger was not consummated. On
September 28, 2004, the Company and SteelCloud terminated the merger agreement
and consequently, the Company's 7% Notes remain outstanding.
As of September 30, 2004, the Company is in default on the interest payable
on the 7% Notes in the amount of $42,000. The 7% Note holders have not made any
formal claims for payment and the Company currently is seeking an extension of
time for the payment of interest.
The 7% Notes also provide that the Company will be in default if the
Registration Statement providing for the resale of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the 7% Notes is not declared effective by the SEC
within 180 days of February 27, 2004. The Company timely filed the Registration
Statement; however, due to unanticipated circumstances, the Registration
Statement was not declared effective by the SEC within 180 days of February 27,
2004.
In such events of default, the 7% Note holders may demand that the Company
pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the 7% Notes at the lesser
of 12% and the maximum applicable legal rate per annum from the date of the
event of default until such default is cured. If such events of default
continue, the 7% Note holders may at their option, (i) declare the entire unpaid
principal balance of the 7% Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
due and payable, (ii) demand that the principal amount of the 7% Notes then
outstanding and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon be converted into shares
of Common Stock, or (iii) exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of their
rights under the 7% Notes and related agreements. The 7% Note holders have not
made any such demands or declarations.
In addition, because the Registration Statement was not declared effective
by the SEC within 180 days of February 27, 2004, the 7% Note holders may require
the Company to prepay in cash all or a portion of the 7% Notes at a price equal
to 120% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7% Notes, plus all accrued and
unpaid interest. The 7% Note holders have not made any such demands or
declarations.
Upon issuance of the 7% Notes, the Company recorded a debt discount of
approximately $1,200,000 in accordance with the accounting requirements for a
beneficial conversion feature on the 7% Notes. The debt discount was to be
amortized over the 5 year term of the notes indicated by the stated redemption
date. Since the 7% Notes are in default, the holders, may, at their option,
17
declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the 7% Notes, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable. As a result of the default, the 7%
Notes no longer have a stated redemption date and the Company is now required to
amortize the debt discount over the period from the date of issuance to the
earliest conversion date. Therefore, the Company has amortized the remaining
debt discount to interest expense as of the date of the default.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company
amortized $1,118,302 and $1,200,000 of the discount to interest expense,
respectively, related to the 7% Notes. Additionally, the Company recorded
$21,467 in accrued interest expense for the third quarter of 2004.
