Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), which amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2009-13 revises the current accounting treatment to specifically address how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. This guidance is applicable to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified during the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2010. The guidance may be applied either prospectively from the beginning of the fiscal year for new or materially modified arrangements or retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (“ASU 2009-14”), which amends ASC Topic 985, Software. ASU 2009-14 amends the ASC to change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements, such that tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of software revenue guidance. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, which amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), to require a comprehensive qualitative analysis be performed to determine whether a holder of variable interests in a variable interest entity also has a controlling financial interest in that entity. In addition, the amendments require the same type of analysis be applied to entities that were previously designated as qualified special-purpose entities. This guidance is effective as of the start of the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for all subsequent annual and interim reporting periods. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASU 2010-06”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010; although, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2010-09”) that amends ASC Subtopic 855-10, Subsequent Events – Overall. ASU 2010-09 requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued but removed the requirement to disclose this date in the notes to the entity’s financial statements. The amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update and accordingly, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging: Scope Exception Related to Credit Derivatives (“ASU 2010-11”). ASU 2010-11 improves disclosures originally under SFAS No. 161. ASU 2010-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition ("ASU 2010-17") to (i) limit the scope of this ASU to research or development arrangements and (ii) require that guidance in this ASU be met for an entity to apply the milestone method (record the milestone payment in its entirety in the period received). However, the FASB clarified that, even if the requirements in ASU 2010-17 are met, entities would not be precluded from making an accounting policy election to apply another appropriate accounting policy that results in the deferral of some portion of the arrangement consideration. ASU 2010-17 will apply to milestones in both single-deliverable and multiple-deliverable arrangements involving research or development transactions. ASU 2010-17 will be effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning on or after June 15, 2010; although, early adoption is permitted. Entities can apply this guidance prospectively to milestones achieved after adoption; however, retrospective application to all prior periods is also permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04"). Under ASU 2011-04, the guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRS and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. ASU 2011-04 is effective for public entities during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"), which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity. Instead, entities must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the financial statements.

| Short-Term Investments [Text Block] | 3. Short-term Investments
The Company determines the appropriate designation of short-term investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All of the Company’s short-term investments were designated as available-for-sale debt securities with original maturity dates of greater than ninety days as of June 30, 2011.
Available-for-sale marketable securities are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices for identical or similar assets, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Management reviews the fair value of the portfolio at least monthly, and evaluates individual securities with fair value below amortized cost at the balance sheet date. For debt securities, in order to determine whether impairment is other than temporary, management must conclude whether the Company intends to sell the impaired security and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovering its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss, or securities that management intends to sell before recovery, is recognized in earnings. The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities related to other factors is recorded consistent with changes in the fair value of all other available-for-sale securities as a component of shareholders’ equity in other comprehensive income. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, interest, dividend income and realized gains and losses are included in investment income. The Company classifies all marketable securities as current assets because the assets are available to fund current operations. No realized gains or losses were recognized and investment income was immaterial during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s short-term investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011:

| Revenue Recognition, Policy [Text Block] | 4. Revenue Recognition
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with JP Morgan Chase, one of the world's leading financial institutions, for the licensing of the Company's Mobile Deposit product. The agreement included additional software products and services that the Company expected to deliver later in its fiscal year. In addition, the arrangement included extended payment terms. As a result, revenue under the arrangement was deferred at December 31, 2010 and would be recognized upon delivery of all products defined in the arrangement to the extent payments had become due for each product, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had delivered the additional software products and services defined under the agreement and therefore recognized the previously deferred revenue, representing that portion of the total contract value for which payments have come due.

| Capitalized Software Development Costs [Abstract] | |
| Research, Development, and Computer Software Disclosure [Text Block] | 5. Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company evaluates its capitalized software development costs at each balance sheet date to determine if the unamortized balance related to any given product exceeds the estimated net realizable value of that product. Any such excess is written off through accelerated amortization in the quarter it is identified. Determining net realizable value, as defined by FASB ASC Topic 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed ("ASC 985-20"), requires making estimates and judgments in quantifying the appropriate amount to write off, if any. Actual amounts realized from the software products could differ from those estimates. Also, any future changes to the Company's product portfolio could result in significant increases to its cost of license revenue as a result of the write-off of capitalized software development costs. The Company completed its first production general release of ImageNet Mobile Deposit in October 2008, and entered into an agreement with a major financial institution in November 2008 to conduct a performance evaluation of the product. In accordance with ASC 985-20, the Company ceased capitalizing software development costs related to this product on the date that it completed its first production general release.
In June 2009, the Company began to recognize revenue from the sale of ImageNet Mobile Deposit, at which time it started amortizing the capitalized software development costs associated with the product in accordance with ASC 985-20. Under ASC 985-20, the annual amortization shall be the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product including the period being reported on. The Company determined it was appropriate to amortize the related capitalized software development costs over the remaining economic life of the product, estimated to be three years. The Company recorded amortization of software development costs of approximately $34,000 in both the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and approximately $103,000 in both the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Convertible Debt
In December 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $1,000,000 the following securities: (i) 5% senior secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of approximately $1,000,000, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 337,501 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.91 per share. Each investor received a warrant to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equals 25% of the quotient obtained by dividing such investor’s aggregate subscription amount by $0.75. The transaction resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $922,000, net of transaction costs and expenses.
In December 2010, the Company converted the then outstanding balance of the debentures of approximately $1,064,000, including accrued interest of approximately $51,000, into 1,418,573 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In addition, the Company recognized as interest expense the remaining unamortized discount of approximately $320,000 related to the beneficial conversion feature at the time of conversion in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options.
Prior to the conversion, interest was payable in cash or stock at the rate of 5% per annum on each conversion date (as to the principal amount being converted), on each early redemption date (as to the principal amount being redeemed) and on the maturity date. The principal amount of the debentures, if not paid earlier, was due and payable on December 10, 2011. The Company had the right to redeem all or a portion of the debentures before maturity by payment in cash of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest being redeemed. The Company agreed to honor any notices of conversion that it received from the holder before the date the Company paid off the debentures. The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price per share of $0.75, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like. The Company had the right to force conversion of the debentures if (i) the closing price of its common stock exceeded 200% of the then effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period or (ii) the average daily trading volume for its common stock exceeded 100,000 shares per trading day for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period and the closing price of its common stock exceeded 100% of the then effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading day period. The debentures imposed certain covenants on the Company including restrictions against paying cash dividends or distributions on shares of its outstanding common stock. The debentures were secured by all of the Company’s assets under the terms of a security agreement it entered into with the investors dated December 10, 2009.
In evaluating the accounting for the convertible debentures, the Company considered whether the conversion option related to the convertible debentures required bifurcation and separate accounting as a liability at fair value. Because the conversion option entitled the holder to convert to a fixed number of shares at a fixed price, the Company was not required to bifurcate the conversion option and the related debt host. Similarly, the warrant contract entitled the holder to convert to a fixed number of shares at a fixed price and was therefore recorded in stockholders’ equity.
Of the gross proceeds, approximately $786,000 was allocated to the debentures and approximately $226,000 to the warrants. The value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The amount allocated to the warrants was recorded as a discount on the debentures and was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debentures. In addition, based on the conversion price of $0.75 and relative value of the debentures, a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $402,000 was recorded as an additional discount on the debentures and was being amortized to interest expense in the accompanying
statements of operations over the term of the debentures.
The fair value of the vested warrants was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:
Credit Facility
In January 2011, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with its primary operating bank. The loan agreement permits the Company to borrow, repay and reborrow, from time to time until January 31, 2013, up to $400,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The Company’s obligations under the loan agreement are secured by a security interest in its equipment and other personal property. Interest on the credit facility accrues at an annual rate equal to one percentage point (1.00%) above the Prime Rate, fixed on the date of each advance. Interest on the outstanding amount under the loan agreement is payable monthly. The loan agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including minimum liquidity, for which the Company was in compliance as of June 30, 2011. The Company had borrowed $105,000 at an annual percentage rate of 5.00% on the line of credit as of June 30, 2011.

| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. Income Taxes
At September 30, 2010, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $7,110,000. The deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (approximately 79% of the net deferred tax assets at October 1, 2010). Such carryforwards will begin to expire in 2016 and will continue to expire through 2023. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and the benefit from net operating losses that can be carried forward may be limited in certain circumstances. The Company carries a deferred tax valuation allowance equal to 100% of total net deferred assets. In recording this allowance, management has considered a number of factors, but chiefly, the Company's recent history of sustained operating losses. Management has concluded that a valuation allowance is required for 100% of the total deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has not determined the amount of the annual limitation on operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized in a taxable year. Any operating loss carryforwards that will expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Based on the 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, the Company does not anticipate that future changes in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits will impact its effective tax rate.
The Company's policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.

8. Stockholders' Equity
In October 2010, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share to an accredited investor in a private placement, resulting in gross proceeds of $750,000.
In December 2010, the Company issued 1,418,573 shares of common stock upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures as discussed in greater detail in Note 6 to the financial statements included in this report.
In May 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which, the Company sold to the investors an aggregate of 2,857,143 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $5.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000. The Company paid cash compensation of approximately $1,050,000 in placement agent fees and reimbursed $25,000 of placement agent out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the financing. In addition, the Company incurred legal fees of approximately $80,000 in connection with the private placement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $13,845,000.
Warrants
Historically, the Company has granted warrants to purchase its common stock to service providers and investors. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had warrants to purchase 132,189 shares of its common stock outstanding, all of which had an exercise price of $0.91 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like.
In connection with the issuance of shares of common stock to John H. Harland Company ("JHH Co.") in February and May 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase 321,428 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like. In June 2011, JHH Co. exercised the warrants, which were due to expire between February and May 2012. The warrants were exercised under the cashless exercise method, resulting in the issuance of 288,582 shares of common stock to the warrant holder and the cancellation of the remaining 32,846 shares in consideration of the issuance. See Note 10 to the financial statements included in this report.
In connection with issuance of convertible debentures in December 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 337,501 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.91 per share as discussed in greater detail in Note 6 to the financial statements included in this report. Of such warrants, warrants to purchase 205,312 shares of the Company's common stock have been exercised and warrants to purchase 132,189 shares of common stock remain outstanding as of June 30, 2011. These warrants expire in December 2014.
The following table summarizes warrant activity in the nine months ended June 30, 2011:
Stock-based Compensation
The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).
The fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the expected life of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.
The value of stock-based compensation is based on the single option valuation approach under ASC 718. It is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options. The estimated expected remaining contractual life of stock option grants at June 30, 2011 was approximately 1.3 years on grants to directors and 6.7 years on grants to employees.
The fair value calculations for stock-based compensation awards to employees for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were based on the following assumptions:
ASC 718 requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits ensuing from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company's valuation allowance from losses in the previous years, there was no such tax benefits during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. Prior to the adoption of ASC 718 those benefits would have been reported as operating cash flows had the Company received any tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock unit awards under ASC 718, which was allocated as follows:
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $4,594,632 of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting life of approximately 4.2 years.
Stock Options
The Company granted stock options to purchase 60,000 and 940,031 shares of its common stock during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, all of which were granted pursuant to the Company’s available stock option plans.
The following table summarizes vested and unvested options, fair value per share, weighted average remaining term and aggregate intrinsic value at June 30, 2011:
A summary of option activity under the Company’s stock equity plans during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:
The following table summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable options as of June 30, 2011:
Restricted Stock Units
In January 2011, the Company's board of directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Mitek Systems, Inc. Director Restricted Stock Unit Plan, as amended and restated (the "Director Plan"), reserving up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for the issuance of restricted stock units to both employee and non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company. On February 23, 2011, the Director Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at its annual meeting.
On March 15, 2011, the Company awarded an aggregate of 300,000 restricted stock units to its directors. The restricted stock units vest monthly over five years. To the extent a restricted stock unit becomes vested, and subject to satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations, each vested restricted stock unit will entitle its holder to receive one share of the Company's common stock, which will be settled and deemed issued and outstanding upon the earlier to occur of: (i) a change in control, (ii) a director's separation from service or (iii) the fifth anniversary of the award date. A holder of outstanding restricted stock units has none of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company, including no right to vote or to receive dividends (if any) until such time the awards are settled in shares.
The cost of the restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the award date, and the compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. In the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $77,000 and $103,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock units. There was no such expense recognized in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010. There were 700,000 shares available for grant under the Director Plan as of June 30, 2011.

Product Revenues
Below is a summary of revenues:
Revenue Concentration
The Company had the following sales concentrations:
Below is a summary of revenue from customers of which revenues were in excess of 10% of total revenue and the corresponding accounts receivable balances:
The Company’s revenue derives primarily from the sale by the Company to channel partners, including systems integrators and resellers, and end users of non-exclusive term licenses to sell products covered by the Company’s patented technologies. These contractual arrangements do not obligate the Company’s channel partners to order, purchase or distribute any fixed or minimum quantities of the Company’s products. In most cases, the channel partners purchase the license from the Company after they receive an order from an end-user. The channel partners receive orders from various individual end-users, so the sale of a license to a channel partner may represent sales to multiple end-users. End-users can purchase the Company’s products through more than one channel partner.
Quarterly sales can fluctuate based on the timing of license renewals by channel partners as well as the sale of new licenses. When a channel partner renews a license, the Company receives a paid-up, one-time license fee in consideration for the grant of a non-exclusive term license to sell the Company's products and there are no future payment obligations related to such agreement; therefore the license fee the Company receives with respect to a particular license renewal in one period does not have a correlation with sales in future periods. Consequently, the Company believes that it is not dependent on any single channel partner, even those from which revenues were in excess of 10% of the Company’s total revenue in a specific reporting period, and the loss or termination of the Company's relationship with any such channel partner would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations.
Vendor Concentration The Company had the following vendor purchase concentrations:
Below is a summary of purchases from vendors from which purchases were in excess of 10% of total purchases and the corresponding accounts payable balances:
The Company purchases its integrated software components from multiple third-party software providers at competitive prices. The Company is under no obligation to purchase from any one vendor. The Company has entered into contractual relationships with some of its vendors; however, these agreements do not contain binding obligations on either party and either party may terminate the
agreement at any time. The Company does not believe it is substantially dependent upon nor exposed to any significant concentration risk related to purchases from any of its vendors, given the availability of alternative sources for its necessary integrated software components.

John H. Harland Company ("JHH Co.") made investments in the Company in February and May 2005. JHH Co. acquired a total of 2,142,856 shares of unregistered common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000 or $0.70 per share. As part of the acquisition of shares, JHH Co. received warrants to purchase 321,428 additional shares of common stock at $0.70 per share. This transaction resulted in JHH Co. and its subsidiary, Harland Financial Solutions (collectively "John Harland"), being considered related parties of the Company due to the amount of the Company's common stock beneficially owned by John Harland. John Harland has not been involved in the management decisions of the Company and does not participate in any board meetings, unless invited.
On May 16, 2011, John Harland sold their 2,142,856 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the disposition, John Harland ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Company’s common stock and thus, no longer considered a related party. On June 3, 2011, John Harland exercised warrants to purchase 321,428 shares of the Company’s common stock, which they subsequently sold on June 10, 2011.
The Company recognized revenues from John Harland of approximately $15,000 and $43,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, for software maintenance. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $14,000 and $45,000, respectively, from John Harland for software maintenance. There was an outstanding accounts receivable balance due from John Harland of approximately $1,000 at both June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Facility Lease
The Company's principal executive office, as well as its research and development facility, is located in an office building in San Diego, California that the Company leases under a non-cancelable operating lease. The lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The term of the lease on this facility commenced in December 2005 and expires in December 2012. In February 2009, the lease was amended to allow the Company to defer the payment of 50% of the basic rent due for the months of February through September 2009. The Company repaid the deferred rent with interest at an annual rate of 6% in equal monthly installments between October 2009 and March 2010. In addition, in connection with the February 2009 amendment, the Company waived its right to exercise an early termination option. In September 2009, the lease was further amended to reduce the amount of office space subject to the lease by 1,722 square feet from 15,927 square feet to 14,205 square feet, which reduced the Company's basic rent proportionately starting in December 2009. The base monthly rent for the facility in fiscal 2011 under this lease is approximately $26,000. The base monthly rent increases every twelve months by approximately 3%.
The Company's facility is covered by adequate insurance and management believes the leased space is sufficient for the Company's current and future needs.
Change of Control and Severance Agreements
On February 28, 2011, the Company entered into an Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan with James B. DeBello, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, if the Company terminates Mr. DeBello's employment without cause or if Mr. DeBello terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. DeBello will be entitled to receive (i) a lump-sum cash amount equal to his then-current annual base salary; (ii) a lump-sum cash amount equal to twelve months of premium payments for continuation coverage under the Company's health plans; and (iii) accelerated vesting of 50% of all outstanding equity awards then held by Mr. DeBello. In the event of a change in control of the Company, Mr. DeBello will be entitled to receive (i) a lump-sum cash amount equal to two times his then-current annual base salary, with one-half of such amount being paid upon the date of the consummation of the change in control and one-half of such amount being paid on the date that is six months following the consummation of the change in control; and (ii) accelerated vesting of 100% of all outstanding equity awards then held by Mr. DeBello. In addition, if Mr. DeBello is terminated without cause or terminates his employment for good reason at any time within two months prior or twenty-four months following a change in control, Mr. DeBello will be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash amount equal to twenty-four months of premium payments for continuation coverage under the Company's health plans.
Also on February 28, 2011, the Company entered into Executive Severance and Change of Control Plans with certain key members of management of the Company. Such agreements are substantially similar to the Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan with Mr. DeBello, with the exception that such executives shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash amount equal to (i) one-half the executive's then-current annual base salary in the same circumstances where Mr. DeBello would be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash amount equal to one times his then-current annual base salary, and (ii) one times executive's then-current annual base salary in the same circumstances where Mr. DeBello would be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash amount equal to two times his then-current annual base salary. As of June 30, 2011, no such termination or change of control event, as defined in the agreements, had occurred that required the Company to make an accrual in the financial statements included in this report related to the agreements.
