A creature who has not yet acted during combat is flat-footed, not yet reacting normally to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus to AC and Dodge AC bonus and cannot make Attacks of Opportunity.
Flat-footed characters are candidates for a Rogue/Unholy Champion Sneak Attack and/or Assassin Death Attack. This applies especially when the character with sneak attack has much higher initiative than his/her opponent.
