AXENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of AXENT Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company" or "AXENT"). The Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect the operations of AssureNet Pathways, Inc.
("AssureNet") since January 7, 1997 and include a write-off of purchased
in-process research and development (see "Business Combinations"). The Company
develops, markets, licenses and supports enterprise-wide information security
solutions for client/server computing environments and provides related
services.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all the adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for
the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 may not necessarily be
indicative of the results for the entire year. The December 31, 1996 condensed
consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of
the same date but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996, which
are included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1997.
Business Combinations
On March 25, 1997, AXENT completed the acquisition of AssureNet. In connection
with the acquisition, AXENT agreed to issue 1,550,000 shares of common stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of AssureNet preferred and common
stock and certain outstanding AssureNet stock options and warrants, when
exercised. In addition, AXENT assumed all other AssureNet stock options and
warrants outstanding at the time of the merger.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, a portion of the total purchase price, which was approximately $32
million, was allocated to the net assets acquired, based on their estimated fair
market value. The fair market value of the tangible assets acquired was
approximately $2.9 million. The Company also acquired approximately $1.5 million
in purchased software which is being amortized over three years on a
straight-line basis. In addition, approximately $27.6 million of the purchase
price was allocated to in-process research and development based on the
determination of the products' net present value using a discounted cash flow
model. These products had not reached technological feasibility and had no
probable future uses, and therefore were expensed at the date of the
acquisition. As a result of the signing of a definitive agreement between AXENT
and AssureNet, the transfer of control of AssureNet's operations to AXENT and
the quantification of consideration, AssureNet's operations have been included
in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements since January 7,
1997.
Before the acquisition, AssureNet developed and marketed certain hardware and
software remote access authentication products (Defender(TM) products) and had
certain other software products under development. AXENT intends to integrate
the existing Defender software technology with the Omniguard(R) family of
products where appropriate. With the exception of hardware tokens, AXENT intends
to cease actively marketing the majority of AssureNet hardware products and
focus its efforts on marketing the Defender software products. The acquisition
is also expected to permit AXENT to expand its indirect distribution
capabilities by adding AssureNet's distributors.

<PAGE>
Purchased Software
In 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party to
pay up to $1,500,000 for a nonexclusive license to the source code of certain
security technology. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company paid the third
party $900,000, of which $500,000 was an acquisition fee upon acceptance of the
source code and $400,000 was a non-refundable royalty pre-payment against future
royalties. The Company may be required to pay up to an additional $600,000 in
royalties based on a percentage of the net revenues derived from the source code
license over a three year period. The acquisition fee is included in purchased
software.
Initial Public Offering
In February 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission permitting the Company to sell 2,000,000 shares of its
common stock to the public. The registration statement also permitted certain
non-officer stockholders of the Company to sell up to 990,000 shares to the
public, including up to 390,000 shares to cover over-allotments. The
registration statement became effective on April 23, 1996. The initial public
offering resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.3 million, net
of approximately $2.7 million in underwriting fees and offering expenses. The
Company received no proceeds from the sale of shares by selling stockholders in
the initial public offering.
Discontinued Operations
In mid-1994 the Company made a strategic decision to focus its business on the
information security market and to divest itself of products and services
unrelated to such business. The following businesses have been divested by the
Company: (i) the storage management products business, which was sold in 1994
for cash, notes and the assumption of certain liabilities, (ii) the OpenVMS
utility software distribution business, which was conveyed to Raxco Software,
Inc. ("Raxco") in a spin-off effective December 31, 1995 and (iii) the Helpdesk
products business, which was sold in February 1996, for cash, a note, royalties
and the assumption of certain liabilities. The results of operations for these
divested businesses have been accounted for as discontinued operations in
accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB
30").
Income Tax
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. with its
U.S. subsidiaries. Deferred income taxes have been established by each entity
based upon its temporary differences, the reversal of which will result in
taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the related asset or
liability is recovered or settled.
For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a tax provision
on the income from continuing and discontinued operations. The effective tax
rate for the three months ended June 30, 1997 approximates the statutory tax
rate. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has general business credits of
approximately $369,000, expiring between 1997 and 2011. The Company also has
alternative minimum tax credits of approximately $187,000, which do not expire.
In addition, the Company's newly acquired subsidiary, AssureNet, has net
operating losses and credits that expire at various dates through 2011. As of
June 30, 1997, those net operating losses and research and development credit
carryforwards were approximately $6.2 million. Due to the greater than 50%
change in AssureNet's ownership, the annual utilization of the AssureNet net
operating loss carryforwards and credits is limited to the lessor of the future
taxable income of the AssureNet subsidiary or approximately $1,375,000.

<PAGE>
Stock Option Plan
In January 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1996
Directors' Stock Option Plan, providing for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 and
200,000 shares, respectively. At the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on
May 21, 1997, stockholders approved to increase the number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the 1996 Stock Option Plan to 1,975,000. In
addition, the plan was amended to limit the total number of options that may be
granted during any fiscal year of the Company, to any one individual, to
500,000. Of the 1,975,000 shares provided in the amended 1996 Stock Option Plan,
options covering an aggregate of 461,500 and 1,366,542 shares were issued during
1996 and the first six months of 1997, respectively. Of the options granted
during 1997, 264,000 were repriced from grants originally made in October 1996
and January 1997. In July 1997, the Company issued options covering 55,900
shares in accordance with the 1996 Stock Option Plan. Of the 200,000 shares
provided in the 1996 Directors' Stock Option Plan, options covering 29,000
shares were issued during the first six months of 1997.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which is
required to be adopted for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997.
At that time, the Company will change the method currently used to compute
earnings per share and restate all prior periods presented.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"),
which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS
130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segment of an Enterprise and
Related Information" ("SFAS 131), which is effective for the fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 specifies revised guidelines for
determining an entity's operating segments and the type and level of financial
information to be disclosed.
The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a material
impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risk and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, those identified in "Certain
Factors Affecting Future Performance" (see below) and those discussed in the
"Risk Factors" set forth in Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-20207), as filed with the SEC on March 6,
1997.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
Net Revenues
The Company's net revenues from product licenses increased approximately 76%, or
$2.99 million, from $3.93 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to
$6.92 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in
1996 and 1997, net revenues from product licenses represented 73.8% and 74.7% of
total net revenues, respectively. The increase in product license revenue is
primarily attributable to broader acceptance of the Company's products, the
introduction and general release of new products and the expansion of available
products running on new or additional platforms. The Company has also benefited
since January 7, 1997 from the licensing of the Defender products acquired
through the AssureNet transaction.
The Company's net revenues from services increased approximately 68%, or
944,000, from $1.40 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.34
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in services
revenues is primarily attributable to growth in the customer base purchasing
maintenance, either through new license purchases or by renewing maintenance on
a previously purchased license, as well as the addition of the Defender
customers on maintenance acquired through the AssureNet transaction. For those
periods in 1996 and 1997, net revenues from services represented 26.2% and 25.3%
of total net revenues, respectively.
Revenues from North American and International operations were 81% and 19% of
total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to 67% and 33%, respectively for the same period in 1996.
Cost of Net Revenues
The Company's cost of net revenues for product licenses includes cost of media,
product packaging, documentation and other production costs, amortization of
purchased software costs, and product royalties. Cost of net revenues associated
with product licenses increased approximately 328%, or $381,000, from $116,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $497,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997, cost of net revenues for
product licenses represented 3.0% and 7.2% of net revenues from product
licenses, respectively. The increase in the cost of net revenues for product
licenses is primarily attributable to the commencement of amortization on the
purchased software acquired through the AssureNet transaction, plus the
increased cost of producing the hardware products associated with the Defender
product line. Cost of net revenues for product licenses, as a percentage of
revenues from product licenses, may fluctuate from period to period due to a
change in product mix, a change in the number or size of transactions recorded
in a quarter, or an increase or decrease in licenses of royalty bearing
products.
The Company's cost of net revenues from services includes the direct and
indirect costs of providing technical support, training and consulting services
to the Company's customers. Cost of net revenues from services increased 34%, or
$124,000 from $365,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $489,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997, cost
of net revenues from services represented 26.2% and 20.9% of net revenues ,
respectively. The dollar increase in cost of net revenues from services is
- 11 -
<PAGE>
directly related to the increase in staff of the Company's customer support
operations necessary to support a larger installed customer base as well as
additional products offered by the Company, including the Defender product line
acquired from AssureNet.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including
commissions, salaries, benefits and bonuses, travel, telephone, costs of
advertising, public relations seminars and trade shows. Sales and marketing
expenses increased 50%, or $1.47 million, from $2.97 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to $4.44 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997, sales and marketing expenses
represented 55.7% and 47.9% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in
dollar amount was due to investment in additional staffing for the Company's US
and UK operations as well as the addition of costs associated with the Defender
product line. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of
total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs,
including salaries, benefits and bonuses, travel and other personnel-related
expenses of the employees engaged in ongoing research and development projects
and third party development contracts. Costs related to research and development
of products are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses
increased 69%, or $808,000, from $1.17 million for the three months ended June
30, 1996 to $1.98 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. For those
periods in 1996 and 1997, research and development expenses represented 22.0%
and 21.4% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in dollar amount
resulted from the addition of staff needed to develop, maintain and enhance the
OmniGuard family of software products including OmniGuard Enterprise Resource
Manager, in addition to the costs associated with the Defender product line
acquired from AssureNet. The decrease in research and development expenses as a
percentage of total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net
revenues. The Company currently anticipates that research and development
expenses may increase in absolute dollars as the Company continues to commit
substantial resources to research and development in future periods.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs,
including salaries, benefits and bonuses and related costs for management,
finance and accounting, legal and other professional services. General and
administrative expenses increased 43%, or $258,000, from $595,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to $853,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
For those periods in 1996 and 1997, general and administrative expenses
represented 11.2% and 9.2% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in
dollar amount is primarily a result of increased staffing to support
organizational growth and the integration of AssureNet. The decrease in general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due
primarily to the increase in total net revenues.
Income from Continuing Operations before Royalties, Interest and Taxes
Income from continuing operations before royalties, interest and taxes increased
$895,000, or 829%, from $108,000 to $1.00 million, for the three months ended
June 30,1996 and 1997, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to
the the overall increase in world-wide revenues.
Royalty Income
The Company recorded royalty income of $868,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997, an increase of $64,000 or 8%, from $804,000 for the same period during
1996. This royalty is pursuant to the Exclusive Distributor License Agreement
with Raxco that provides for payment by Raxco to the Company of the greater of
- 12 -
<PAGE>
(i) a 30% royalty on license and services fees related to the OpenVMS utility
software products owned by the Company and marketed by Raxco or (ii) $2.0
million for 1996, $1.5 million for 1997 and $1.0 million for 1998, and a 30%
royalty thereafter for two additional years.
For the three month period ended June 30, 1997, Raxco reported to the Company
gross revenues of $3.0 million, which included approximately $2.9 million of
OpenVMS utility revenues, as well as a net loss of $159,000.
Interest Income
Interest income increased 71%, or $183,000, from $257,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1996 to $440,000 for the three month period ended June 30,
1997. The increase is attributable primarily to having the proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering fully invested over the course of the quarter
and a general increase in interest rates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis. The Company's history of net operating losses has made the realization of
its credit carryforwards uncertain. Accordingly, the Company placed a partial
valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
The Company recorded a tax provision related to its income from continuing and
discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1997, respectively.
Income from Continuing Operations
As a result of the above the Company recorded income from continuing operations
of $1.38 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of 21% or
$235,000, from income of $1.14 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Income from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations consists of the net results of operations
from the divested businesses of the Company, which for financial statement
purposes have been accounted for in accordance with APB No. 30 and classified as
discontinued operations. The Company's income from discontinued operations
decreased 84% , or $444,000, from $526,000 for the three month period ended June
30, 1996 to $82,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The Company
anticipates a continued decline in income from discontinued operations over the
next several quarters.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
Net Revenues
The Company's net revenues from product licenses increased approximately 94%, or
$6.24 million, from $6.60 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
$12.84 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996
and 1997, net revenues from product licenses represented 70.2% and 73.7% of
total net revenues, respectively. The increase in product license revenue is
primarily attributable to broader acceptance of the Company's products, the
introduction and general release of new products and the expansion of available
products running on new or additional platforms. The Company has also benefited
since January 7, 1997 from the licensing of the Defender products acquired
through the AssureNet transaction.
The Company's net revenues from services increased approximately 63%, or $1.78
million, from $2.80 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $4.58
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in services
revenues is primarily attributable to growth in the customer base purchasing
maintenance, either through new license purchases or by renewing maintenance on
a previously purchased license, as well as the addition of the Defender
customers on maintenance acquired through the AssureNet transaction. For those
periods in 1996 and 1997, net revenues from services represented 29.8% and 26.3%
of total net revenues, respectively.
Revenues from North American and International operations were 78% and 22% of
total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to 72% and 28%, respectively for the same period in 1996.
Cost of Net Revenues
The Company's cost of net revenues for product licenses increased approximately
343%, or $779,000, from $227,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.01
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and
1997, cost of net revenues for product licenses represented 3.4% and 7.8% of net
revenues from product licenses, respectively. The increase in the cost of net
revenues for product licenses is primarily attributable to the commencement of
amortization on the purchased software acquired through the AssureNet
transaction, plus the increased cost of producing the hardware products
associated with the Defender product line. Cost of net revenues for product
licenses, as a percentage of revenues from product licenses, may fluctuate from
period to period due to a change in product mix, a change in the number or size
of transactions recorded in a quarter, or an increase or decrease in licenses of
royalty bearing products.
The Company's cost of net revenues from services increased 44%, or $278,000 from
$636,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $914,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997, cost of net revenues
from services represented 22.7% and 20.0% of net revenues, respectively. The
dollar increase in cost of net revenues from services is directly related to the
increase in staff of the Company's customer support operations necessary to
support a larger installed customer base as well as additional products offered
by the Company, including the Defender product line acquired from AssureNet.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased 51%, or $2.95 million, from $5.78 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $8.73 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997, sales and marketing expenses
represented 61.5% and 50.1% of total net revenues, respectively. The increase in
dollar amount was due to investment in additional staffing for the Company's US
and UK operations as well as the addition of costs associated with the Defender
product line. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of
total net revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues.
- 14 -
<PAGE>
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased 72%, or $1.62 million, from $2.26
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.88 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997, research and
development expenses represented 24.0% and 22.3% of total net revenues,
respectively. The increase in dollar amount resulted from the addition of staff
needed to develop, maintain and enhance the OmniGuard family of software
products including OmniGuard Enterprise Resource Manager, in addition to the
costs associated with the Defender product line acquired from AssureNet. The
decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of total net
revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues. The Company
currently anticipates that research and development expenses may increase in
absolute dollars as the Company continues to commit substantial resources to
research and development in future periods.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased 42%, or $485,000, from $1.15
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.64 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. For those periods in 1996 and 1997 general and
administrative expenses represented 12.2% and 9.4% of total net revenues,
respectively. The increase in dollar amount is primarily a result of increased
staffing to support organizational growth and the integration of AssureNet. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net
revenues was due primarily to the increase in total net revenues.
Write-off of purchased in-process research and development
The Company incurred a one-time charge associated with the acquisition of
AssureNet of approximately $27.63 million for the write-off of purchased
in-process research and development that had not reached technological
feasibility and had no probable future uses.
Income from Continuing Operations before Royalties, Interest and Taxes
As a result of the approximately $27.63 million write-off of purchased
in-process research and development, the Company recorded a loss from continuing
operations before royalties, interest and taxes of $26.38 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $25.74 million, from losses of
$646,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Excluding the one-time charge
income from continuing operations before royalties, interest and taxes increased
$1.90 million, or 294%, from a loss of $646,000 to income of $1.25 million, for
the six months ended June 30,1996 and 1997, respectively. The increase is
primarily attributable to the overall increase in world-wide revenues.
Royalty Income
The Company recorded royalty income of $1.53 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, a decline of $78,000 or 5%, from $1.60 million for the same
period during 1996. This royalty is pursuant to the Exclusive Distributor
License Agreement with Raxco that provides for payment by Raxco to the Company
of the greater of (i) a 30% royalty on license and services fees related to the
OpenVMS utility software products owned by the Company and marketed by Raxco or
(ii) $2.00 million for 1996, $1.50 million for 1997 and $1.00 million for 1998,
and a 30% royalty thereafter for two additional years.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, Raxco reported to the Company
gross revenues of $5.70 million, which included approximately $5.10 million of
OpenVMS utility revenues, as well as a net loss of $32,000.
- 15 -
<PAGE>
Interest Income
Interest income increased 146%, or $480,000, from $329,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996 to $809,000 for the six month period ended June 30,
1997. The increase is attributable primarily to having the proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering fully invested over the course of the six
month period, and a general increase in interest rates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis. The Company's history of net operating losses has made the realization of
its credit carryforwards uncertain. Accordingly, the Company placed a partial
valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
The Company recorded a tax provision related to its income from continuing and
discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1997, respectively.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
As a result of the approximately $27.63 million write-off of purchased
in-process research and development, the Company recorded a loss from continuing
operations of $25.48 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease
of $26.71 million, from income of $1.23 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996. Excluding the write-off, income from continuing operations increased
$926,000, or 75%, from $1.23 million to $2.15 million, for the six months ended
June 30,1996 and 1997, respectively.
Income from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations consists of the net results of operations
from the divested businesses of the Company, which for financial statement
purposes have been accounted for in accordance with APB No. 30 and classified as
discontinued operations. The Company's income from discontinued operations
decreased 84% , or $1.30 million, from $1.55 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 to $255,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.
For those periods in 1996 and 1997 income from discontinued operations
represented 16.5% and 1.5% of total net revenues, respectively. The Company
anticipates a continued decline in income from discontinued operations over the
next several quarters.
Financial Condition- Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's overall cash and cash equivalents were $12.51 million at June 30,
1997, which is a decrease of approximately $4.80 million from $17.26 million at
December 31, 1996. During the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company
financed its operations primarily through cash reserves and available working
capital. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company financed its
operations primarily through cash flows generated from discontinued operations
and available working capital. The Company's continuing operating activities
generated cash of $2.19 million and used $2.16 million for the six month period
ended June 30,1996 and 1997, respectively. During the six months ended June 30,
1997, the Company's use of cash from continuing operating activities was
primarily a result of the payment of transaction costs related to the
acquisition of AssureNet, the payment of severance and accrued expenses assumed
through the AssureNet acquisition and the payment of accrued bonuses,
value-added tax (VAT), commissions and other accrued expenses associated with
the Company's performance in the previous calendar quarter.
The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $402,000 and $524,000 for
the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. These
purchases have generally consisted of computer workstations, networking
- 16 -
<PAGE>
equipment, office furniture and equipment. The Company had no firm commitments
for capital expenditures as of June 30, 1997.
During the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cash position was
also affected by the following: 1) the Company had cash outlays of approximately
$2.18 million for transaction costs associated with the acquisition of
AssureNet; 2) the Company made payments totaling $2.60 million in severance and
assumed liabilities from the AssureNet acquisition; 3) the Company paid-off the
$1.23 million balance for the line of credit carried by AssureNet which included
draws of $490,000; 4) the Company received proceeds of $1.10 million from the
issuance of common stock and 5) the Company received a payment of $430,000 on
the note receivable related to the sale of the Company's storage management
products in 1994.
The Company believes that the net proceeds from the initial public offering,
cash generated from operations, cash generated under the Administrative Services
Agreement and the Exclusive Distributor License Agreement with Raxco, together
with existing sources of liquidity, will be sufficient to meet its capital
expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements both for the next
twelve months and for the foreseeable future.
Certain Factors Affecting Future Performance
Although the Company has experienced significant growth in revenues from the
OmniGuard family of software products, the Company does not believe prior growth
rates are indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Company
expects increased competition and intends to invest significantly in its product
development. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will remain
profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. Due to the Company's limited
operating history with respect to the OmniGuard family of software products,
predictions as to future operating results are difficult. Future operating
results may fluctuate due to factors such as: demand for the Company's products;
the size and timing of customer orders; the integration of AssureNet operations
and products into the Company's operations and product offerings; the
introduction of new products and product enhancements by the Company or its
competitors; the budgeting cycle of customers; changes in the proportion of
revenues attributable to license fees and consulting services; changes in the
level of operating expenses; and competitive conditions in the industry.
The market for the Company's software products is highly competitive, and the
Company expects that it will face increasing price pressures from its current
competitors and new market entrants. Any material reduction in the price of the
Company's software products would negatively affect gross margins and could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.
The sales of the Company's security products generally involve significant
testing by, and education of, prospective customers as well as a commitment of
resources by both parties. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle
associated with the sales of the Company's security products is typically long
and subject to a number of significant risks over which the Company has little
or no control and, as a result, the Company may expend significant resources
pursuing potential sales that will not be consummated.
The Company anticipates that international sales will continue to represent a
significant percentage of revenue in the foreseeable future. International sales
are subject to a number of risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, political and economic
instability in foreign markets, restrictions on exporting or importing certain
technologies, difficulty in the staffing, management and integration of foreign
operations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts receivable
collection, currency fluctuations and potentially adverse tax consequences. The
uncertainty of the monetary exchange values has caused, and may in the future,
contribute to fluctuations in the Company's financial condition and results of
operations. Although the Company's results of operations have not been
materially adversely affected to date as a result of currency fluctuations, the
long-term impact of currency fluctuations, including any possible effect on the
business outlook in other developing countries, cannot be predicted.

EXHIBIT 10.17
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
AXENT Technologies, Inc. ("AXENT"), Richard A. Lefebvre and the
Compensation Committee of the AXENT Board of Directors, on behalf of the AXENT
Board, have entered into this Memorandum of Understanding as of July 22, 1997 to
evidence the agreements among them relating to the continued employment of Rich
Lefebvre, his compensation and severance arrangements and his service as AXENT's
Chairman of the Board, to and including July 31, 2000.
1. Effective at the close of business on July 31, 1997, Rich Lefebvre will
resign as AXENT's Chief Executive Officer. Rich Lefebvre will be entitled to
receive all compensation payable to him through that date of the nature and at
the rates currently payable to him. From August 1, 1997, Rich Lefebvre will
continue as an employee of AXENT, will fulfill the duties of Chairman of the
Board described in paragraph 2, below, and will receive the compensation
described in paragraph 3, below. Rich Lefebvre will execute an agreement before
August 1, 1997 by which he agrees not to engage through July 31, 2000 in any
business competitive with the business of AXENT or its subsidiaries, and he will
continue to be bound by all nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements with
AXENT to which he currently is a party.
2. From August 1, 1997 until July 31, 1999 (and until July 31, 2000, if so
elected by the Chief Executive Officer of AXENT on or before July 31, 1999),
Rich Lefebvre, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of AXENT, will perform
such executive, supervisory and management functions and duties as may be
assigned to him from time to time by the Board of Directors or any committee of
the Board. He shall, if present, preside at all meetings of the Board of
Directors and of the stockholders of AXENT or he shall appoint an appropriate
officer of AXENT to preside at meetings of the stockholders.
3. In consideration of his agreement to provide services as described above,
Rich Lefebvre will be entitled to receive the following compensation:
(a) From August 1, 1997 through July 21, 1999:

($200,000), paid bi-weekly or on such other frequency as AXENT pays its other

a Bonus Adjustment Agreement made April 3, 1997); bonus for calendar year 1998
up to a maximum bonus of Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) in accordance with a
bonus plan identical except for amount of maximum bonus (i.e., using the same
components, percentages and thresholds) with the bonus plan for calendar year
1998 for AXENT's Chief Executive Officer; and
- 22 -
<PAGE>
(3) car allowance at the rate paid in 1997 to date.
(b) From August 1, 1999 through July 21, 2000: salary at the annual
rate of One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000), paid bi-weekly or on such
other frequency as AXENT pays its other executive officers; no bonus or car
allowance will be payable.
4. The parties intend that Rich Lefebvre will be a full-time employee of AXENT
through July 31, 2000, and, as such, will be eligible for vacation, sick leave
and personal leave in accordance with AXENT's prevailing policies and will be
permitted to participate in AXENT's medical, dental, disability and vision
coverage, 401(k) and Section 125 plans, as well as any other benefit plans
available generally to full-time employees of AXENT, through July 31, 2000.
AXENT reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit
provided to its employees or executives at any time; provided that it shall not
terminate any employee benefit provided to Rich Lefebvre prior to July 31, 2000
that other executive officers of AXENT continue to receive. AXENT will reimburse
Rich Lefebvre all travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in providing
services hereunder in accordance with AXENT's then-existing travel and expense
reimbursement policies, upon submission of itemized accounts, receipts or other
documentation reasonably satisfactory to AXENT.
5. As additional consideration to him for agreeing to serve as AXENT's Chairman
of the Board as provided above, AXENT and its Board of Directors agree that all
stock options granted to Rich Lefebvre, including any additional stock options
granted through July 31, 1999, will vest or continue to vest in accordance with
their terms through July 31, 1999. In the event that any portion of a stock
option granted to Rich Lefebvre and vested on July 31, 1999 has not been
exercised by July 31, 1999, the AXENT Board of Directors shall amend such stock
option to provide that such vested and unexercised portion shall be exercisable
to and including the earlier of its specified expiration date or July 31, 2000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event of a "Change of Control,"
as defined in AXENT's 1996 Stock Option Plan in effect on the date of this
Memorandum or as subsequently amended (if such amendment is more favorable to
Rich Lefebvre), the AXENT Board or the appropriate committee of the AXENT Board
shall cause any unvested portion of any stock option granted to Rich Lefebvre to
become fully vested and exercisable not less than ten (10) business days prior
to the earliest date on which such Change of Control of AXENT may be deemed to
occur, and shall provide that all exercisable portions of such stock options
shall be assumed by any acquiring or successor corporation and shall be
exercisable for at least ninety (90) days after the latest date on which such
Change of Control may be deemed to have occurred. Rich Lefebvre understands that
amendments or modifications to, or acceleration of, his stock options may cause
those options to become non-qualified stock options, and he releases AXENT from
any loss of tax benefit in connection therewith.
6. In the event of a "Change of Control," within thirty (30) days of the
earliest date on which such Change of Control may be deemed to occur, AXENT or
any successor shall pay in a lump sum all amounts that would be paid to Rich
- 23 -

Lefebvre under Section 3 of this Agreement through July 31, 2000 (including the
maximum bonus to which he would be entitled for any calendar years not then
concluded and the cost of providing COBRA-covered benefits through July 31,
2000); provided that, if the Change of Control involves a merger or
consolidation in which AXENT is a party, the lump sum payment required in this
paragraph 6 shall not be due or payable until closing of such merger or
consolidation, and shall then be made within ten (10) business days following
the closing of such merger or consolidation.
7. In the event that Rich Lefebvre dies or is determined by the AXENT Board to
be permanently disabled prior to July 31, 2000, all compensation payable under
paragraph 3 of this Memorandum shall be payable to his estate, heirs, legatees,
personal representative or conservator at the same times and in the amounts
provided in this Memorandum (including the cost of providing COBRA-covered
benefits through July 31, 2000); provided, that AXENT may make a lump sum
payment in lieu of continuing periodic payments (which shall include the maximum
bonus to which he would be entitled for any calendar years not then concluded)
at its sole election. In the event of Rich Lefebvre's death prior to July 31,
1999, the AXENT Board or the appropriate committee shall amend all outstanding
stock options issued to Rich Lefebvre so that they remain outstanding and
exercisable as provided in paragraph 5.
8. In the event that Rich Lefebvre (a) notifies the AXENT Board in writing of
his election to terminate all of his duties and responsibilities under this
Memorandum or (b) is determined by AXENT's Board to have committed an act
involving dishonesty, embezzlement or fraud against AXENT or its subsidiaries,
this Memorandum may be terminated at any time thereafter by AXENT, at the sole
discretion of its Board of Directors.
9. This Memorandum supersedes a letter agreement dated October 16, 1992 among
Rich Lefebvre and the members of AXENT's Compensation Committee, which is
canceled and terminated in all respects. This Memorandum contains all of the
understandings and agreements among the parties with respect to its subject
matter, and there are no other representations, promises, agreements or
understandings with respect to its subject matter. No change or modification of
this Memorandum, and no waiver of any of its provisions, will be valid or
binding unless it is in writing and signed by the party intended to be bound.
All amounts of compensation stated herein are gross amounts, from which AXENT
may make all deductions and withholdings it reasonably determines to be
appropriate under applicable laws and regulations. This Memorandum shall be
interpreted and construed according to the substantive laws of the Maryland,
without regard to its rules concerning conflicts of law. Except for breaches of
confidentiality or non-compete obligations, any dispute arising under or
relating to this Memorandum that cannot promptly be resolved amicably shall be
submitted to mediation before professional mediators reasonably acceptable to
AXENT and Rich Lefebvre in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. If for any
reason any of the provisions of this Memorandum are held or deemed to be
unenforceable or invalid as applied to any particular case or in all cases, such
circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision invalid in
any other case or of rendering any of the other provisions of this Memorandum
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid. No rights, duties or obligations under
this Agreement of any party are assignable without the prior written consent of
the other parties.
