_____________, 2004
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.
2
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.
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.
3
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.
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. V-ONE estimates that for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2003, sales to the U.S. government constituted approximately 67% of its revenue.
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
4
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
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
5
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 14.
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 March 23, 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.
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.

(1) Assumes the sale of all shares.
(2) Unless otherwise indicated, consists of shares issuable upon the conversion of 7%
Notes and the exercise of detachable warrants. Does not include shares payable as
estimated accrued interest on the 7% Notes.
(3) Consists of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants granted to placement agent
in connection with the 7% Notes offering.
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.
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 $50,000. 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
9
(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
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.
10
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 March 23, 2004, there were 30,277,881 shares of Common Stock
outstanding that were held of record by approximately 220 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
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 3,021,000 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 are immediately exercisable at
a price of $2.625 per share and will 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.
11
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 $26.25 per share 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 $26.25 per share 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 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. 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. 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
12
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.
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.

DEBT
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.
The holders may convert the principal amount of their 8% Notes plus
accrued interest at any time prior to maturity into (i) V-ONE Common Stock at a
conversion price equal to the greater of $0.25 per share or 60% of the average
closing sales price of the Company's Common Stock for the five trading day
period immediately preceding the Company's receipt of the holders' notification
of conversion or (ii) new V-ONE securities issued in any round of financing the
gross proceeds of which are greater than $3,000,000 at a conversion price based
upon the price at which the new securities are convertible into V-ONE Common
Stock.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, if, prior to maturity, V-ONE
receives gross proceeds of $3,000,000 or more from the sale of new securities,
then the holders must convert the principal amount of their 8% Notes plus
accrued interest into (i) shares of Common Stock at the Common Stock conversion
price or (ii) shares of new securities at the new securities conversion price.
The holders, however, will have no mandatory conversion obligation if V-ONE
receives gross proceeds of $6,000,000 or more from the sale of new securities.
An event of default will occur if V-ONE defaults in the payment of the 8%
Notes and the default continues for five days, or upon the occurrence of other
typical default events, including, but not limited to, an assignment for the
13
benefit of creditors, an adjudication of bankruptcy, an application for the
appointment of a trustee or receiver or the dissolution of V-ONE. If an event of
default occurs, the 8% Notes will bear interest at the fixed rate of 15% from
the date of acceleration resulting from the default. The 8% Notes are secured by
all of V-ONE's assets, except for proprietary technology, intellectual property
and source code information.
For so long as any of the 8% Notes remain outstanding, V-ONE shall not,
without the consent of the placement agent for the 8% Note offering or of a
majority of the principal amount of the 8% Notes outstanding, declare or pay any
cash dividend or purchase, retire or otherwise acquire for value any of its
capital 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 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 $3.00 per share 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 and elected to extend the 8% Notes for an additional 180 days. V-ONE
paid the interest accrued under the initial term of the 8% Notes. In July 2003,
V-ONE requested and received an extension of the 8% Notes for an additional 180
days and agreed to an increase in the interest rate from 10% to 12% during the
extension period. In connection with a restructuring of the 8% Notes, V-ONE
agreed in January 2004 to adjust the conversion price of certain 8% Notes
constituting $150,000 in principal to $.18 per share in exchange for an
extension of the term of such notes to July 15, 2004 at an interest rate of 10%.
Also in connection with the January 2004 restructuring, V-ONE adjusted the
conversion price of the remaining 8% Notes outstanding, which constituted
$343,000 in principal, to $.15 per share and the holders of such notes converted
them into 2,286,667 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. 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.
The holders may 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
$.20 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 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.
14
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. If an event of default occurs, the Notes will bear
interest 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.
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. 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 $.75 for a period of 20
consecutive trading days by issuing a call notice to the warrant holders. 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) $.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.
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 $.15 per share.
Also in connection with the 7% Notes offering, V-ONE granted a warrant 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. The terms of the placement
15
agent warrant mirror those of the warrants granted in connection with the 7%
Notes offering.
V-ONE has granted registration rights to the purchasers of the Series C
and Series D Shares and the 7% and 8% Notes whereby V-ONE is obligated, in
certain instances, to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series D Shares and 7% and 8% Notes and exercise of the
warrants attached to the Series C and Series D Shares and 7% and 8% Notes.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters with respect to the issuance of the shares of Common
Stock offered by this prospectus have been passed upon for V-ONE by Kirkpatrick
& Lockhart LLP, 1800 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036.
EXPERTS
The financial statements and schedule of V-ONE at December 31, 2003 and
2002, appearing in V-ONE's Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December
31, 2003, have been audited by Aronson & Company, independent auditors, as set

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended ("DGCL"),
provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
person's conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation
similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or
the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall
deem proper.
Article Ninth of V-ONE's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that V-ONE shall indemnify, to the fullest extent now or hereafter
permitted by law, each director, officer, employee or agent (including each
former director, officer, employee or agent) of V-ONE who was or is made party
to or a witness in or is threatened to be made a party to or a witness in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or
was an authorized representative of V-ONE, against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes and
penalties) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
Article VI, Section 6.1 of V-ONE's Amended Bylaws provides that each
person who was or is made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding") by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, agent or employee of V-ONE, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
V-ONE to the fullest extent authorized by DGCL, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended, against any expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no director shall be indemnified nor held harmless in violation of the
provisions set forth in V-ONE's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation; and no director, officer, agent or employee shall be indemnified
nor held harmless by V-ONE unless:
(i) In the case of conduct in his/her official capacity with V-ONE,
he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of V-ONE;
(ii) In all other cases, his/her conduct was at least not opposed to the
best interests of V-ONE nor in violation of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or any agreement entered into
by V-ONE; and
(iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, he/she had no reasonable
cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or
II-2
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form
S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
