Legal Matters

USAA

On March 29, 2012, United Services Automobile Association (“USAA”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas San Antonio Division against the Company seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that USAA does not infringe certain patents of the Company relating to Mobile Deposit and that such patents are not enforceable against USAA. In addition, USAA alleges that it disclosed confidential information to the Company and that the Company used such information in its patents and Mobile Deposit® product in an unspecified manner. USAA seeks damages and injunctive relief. USAA subsequently amended its pleadings to assert a claim for false advertising and reverse palming off under the Lanham Act, and to seek reimbursement under the parties’ license agreement.

On April 12, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against USAA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that USAA infringes five of the Company’s patents relating to image capture on mobile devices, breached the parties’ license agreement by using the Company’s products beyond the scope of the agreed-upon license terms and breached the parties’ license agreement by disclosing confidential pricing and other confidential information for a Company legacy product installation in the lawsuit USAA filed in Texas.

The courts consolidated the foregoing cases in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, and on November 19, 2012, the Company answered USAA’s various claims and counterclaims, moved to dismiss USAA’s Lanham Act cause of action, and filed a counterclaim against USAA for violation of the Lanham Act.

The Company believes that USAA’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against those claims and pursue its claims against USAA. The Company does not believe that the results of USAA’s claims will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Top Image Systems Ltd.

On September 26, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against Israeli-based Top Image Systems Ltd. and TIS America Inc. (collectively “TISA”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that TISA infringes five of the Company’s patents relating to image capture on mobile devices. The Company is seeking damages against TISA and injunctive relief to prevent them from selling their mobile imaging products.

Other Legal Matters

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. While any legal proceeding has an element of uncertainty, management of the Company believes that the disposition of such matters, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Employee 401(k) Plan

The Company has a 401(k) plan that allows participating employees to contribute a percentage of their salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service annual limits. The Company’s board of directors may, at its sole discretion, approve matching contributions by the Company. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s board of directors did not approve any Company matching contributions to the plan.

Facility Lease

The Company’s principal executive offices, as well as its research and development facility, are located in approximately 24,012 square feet of office space in San Diego, California. The lease for such space was due to expire in December 2012. On July 3, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the existing lease (the “Lease Amendment”), which decreases the rentable square footage to approximately 22,523 square feet. The Lease Amendment commences on January 1, 2013 and extends the term of the existing lease through June 30, 2019. The annual base rent under the Lease Amendment is approximately $471,000 per year and is subject to annual increases of approximately three percent per year. In connection with the lease amendment, the Company issued a standby letter of credit to the landlord that allows for one or more draws of up to $210,000 over the term of the lease extension. The Company believes its existing properties are in good condition and are sufficient and suitable for the conduct of its business.

Future annual minimum rental payments payable under the lease are as follows:
