NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
We are an innovative designer, developer and marketer of video and pixel processing semiconductors
and software for high-end digital video applications. Our solutions enable manufacturers of
digital display and projection devices, such as large-screen liquid crystal display (LCD)
televisions and multimedia projectors, to differentiate their products with a consistently high
level of video quality, regardless of the contents source or format. Our core technology
leverages unique proprietary techniques for intelligently processing video signals from a variety
of sources to ensure that all resulting images are optimized for a specific digital display or
projection device. Additionally, our products help our customers reduce costs and differentiate
their display and projection devices, an important factor in industries that experience rapid
innovation. Pixelworks flexible design architecture enables our technology to produce outstanding
image quality in our customers display and projection products with a range of integrated circuit
(IC) and software solutions.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
regulations, although we believe that the disclosures provided are adequate to prevent the
information presented from being misleading.
The financial information included herein for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for these interim periods.
The financial information as of December 31, 2007 is derived from our audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, included in
Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2008, and should be read
in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our significant estimates and
judgments include those related to valuation of short- and
long-term marketable securities, product returns, warranty obligations, bad debts, inventories,
property and equipment, intangible assets, valuation of share-based payments, income taxes,
litigation and other contingencies. The actual results experienced could differ materially from
our estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 condensed consolidated financial statements to
conform with the 2008 presentation.
NOTE 2: BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS
Marketable Securities
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, all of our short- and long-term marketable securities
are classified as available-for-sale.
Unrealized holding gains (losses) on short- and long-term available-for-sale securities, net of
tax, were $89 and $168, respectively, as of March 31, 2008 and ($22) and ($4,713), respectively, as
of December 31, 2007. These unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders equity (deficit), in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
On March 31, 2008 we analyzed our long-term equity security for other-than-temporary impairment in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position 115-1/124-1, The
Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. As of March
31, 2008, the fair value of our investment had decreased $6,490 from our cost basis of $10,000 to
$3,510. After reviewing the investments rapid decline in value from December 31, 2007 to March
31, 2008, the extended duration of time which the fair value of the investment had been below our
cost, as well as decreased target price estimates, analyst downgrades and macroeconomic factors, we
determined that we will not recover the cost basis of the investment. Accordingly, we recognized
an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $6,490 in our statement of operations during the three
months ended March 31, 2008. At December 31, 2007, $4,810 unrealized loss was included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and do not bear interest when recorded or
accrue interest when past due. We do not have any off balance sheet exposure risk related to
customers. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is
maintained for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make
required payments. Accounts receivable, net consists of the following:

Inventories, Net
Inventories consist of finished goods and work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of standard

Based upon our forecast and backlog, we do not currently expect to be able to sell or otherwise use
the reserved inventory we have on hand at March 31, 2008. However, it is possible that a customer
will decide in the future to purchase a portion of the reserved inventory. It is not possible for us to
predict if or when this may happen, or how much we may sell. If such sales occur, we do not expect
that they will have a material effect on gross profit margin.

Long-Term Debt
In 2004, we issued $150,000 of 1.75% convertible subordinated debentures (the debentures) due
2024. In February 2006, we repurchased and retired $10,000 of the debentures. In January 2008, we
commenced a modified dutch auction tender offer under which we offered to purchase, for cash, up to
$50,000 aggregate principal amount of the debentures at a price not greater than $0.75 nor less
than $0.68 per $1 principal amount. The tender offer expired on February 28, 2008 and we
repurchased $50,248 principal amount of the debentures, which included $248 that we purchased
without extending the tender offer in accordance with applicable securities laws. The purchase
price was $0.74 per $1. We recognized a net gain of $11,557 on the repurchase, which included the
$13,064 discount, offset by legal and professional fees of $755 and a write-off of debt issuance
costs of $752.
The remaining $89,752 of debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, into our common
stock at a conversion rate of 41.0627 shares of common stock per $1 principal amount of debentures
for a total of 3,685,459 shares. This is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $24.35
per share. The debentures are convertible if (a) our stock trades above 130% of the conversion price for 20
out of 30 consecutive trading days during any calendar quarter, (b) the debentures trade at an
amount less than or
10
equal to 98% of the if-converted value of the debentures for five consecutive
trading days, (c) a call for redemption occurs, or (d) in the event of certain other specified
corporate transactions.
We may redeem some or all of the debentures for cash on or after May 15, 2011 at a price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of
the debentures have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of the $89,752 debentures outstanding at each of the following dates: May
15, 2011, May 15, 2014, and May 15, 2019, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest. The debentures are unsecured obligations and are subordinated in
right of payment to all our existing and future senior debt.
Shareholders Equity (Deficit)
On September 25, 2007, we announced a share repurchase program under which the Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to $10,000 of our common stock over the next twelve months. The
program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified
or suspended at any time at our discretion. Share repurchases under the program may be made
through open market and privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market
conditions and other factors. During 2007 we repurchased 3,782,500 common shares at a cost of
$4,269. From January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008, we repurchased 1,593,800 shares for $1,198.
As of March 31, 2008, $4,533 remained available for repurchase under the plan.
NOTE 3: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
On January 1, 2008, we adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. (SFAS) 157,
Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157) for our financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair
value and describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Valuations based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The table below presents information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value at March 31, 2008:

Level 1 financial assets include money market funds and a long term equity security. Level two
financial assets include commercial paper, foreign government debt securities, corporate debt
securities and U.S. government agencies debt securities. We primarily use the market approach to
determine the fair value of our financial assets.
The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements. FSP 157-2 Partial Deferral of the Effective Date
of Statement 157
11
(FSP 157-2) deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We will adopt FSP
157-2 on January 1, 2009, and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows us to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. We have currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any
items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with GAAP.
NOTE 4: RESTRUCTURING PLANS
In 2006, we initiated restructuring plans aimed at returning the Company to profitability. We
continued to implement these plans throughout 2007 and during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
The following is a summary of restructuring expense incurred during the three months ended March
31, 2008 and the cumulative amount incurred through March 31, 2008:

We expect to incur additional restructuring expenses during 2008 as we continue implementing the
restructuring plan announced in November 2006.
NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES
The provision (benefit) for income taxes recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and 2007 includes current and deferred tax expense in profitable cost-plus foreign jurisdictions
and accruals for tax contingencies in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, during the three months
ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a benefit of $1,000 for refundable research and experimentation
credits, a benefit of $559 for the reversal of a previously recorded tax contingency due to the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and a deferred tax benefit of $446 which
resulted from an increase in the tax rate of a single foreign jurisdiction.
As of March 31, 2008, we continued to provide a full valuation allowance against essentially all of
our U.S. and Canadian net deferred tax assets as we do not believe that it is more likely than not
that we will realize a benefit from those assets. We have not recorded a valuation allowance
against our other foreign net deferred tax assets as we believe that it is more likely than not
that we will realize a benefit from those assets.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amount of our uncertain tax positions was a
liability of $10,250 and $10,635, respectively. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain
tax position is resolved by settlement or statute of limitations. Settlement of any particular
position could require the use of cash. If the uncertain tax positions we have accrued for are
sustained by the taxing authorities in our favor, the reduction of the liability will reduce our
effective tax rate. We reasonably expect reductions in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits
of approximately $1,760 within the next twelve months due to the expiration of a statute of
limitations in a foreign jurisdiction. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 7: EARNINGS PER SHARE
We calculate earnings per share in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings
per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding,
and include exchangeable shares. These exchangeable shares, which were issued on September 6, 2002 by
Jaldi, our Canadian subsidiary, to its shareholders in connection with the Jaldi asset acquisition,
have characteristics essentially equivalent to Pixelworks common stock. At March 31, 2008 there
were no outstanding exchangeable shares.
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the incremental number of common shares that
would be outstanding assuming the exercise of certain stock options, when such exercise would have
the effect of reducing earnings per share, and the conversion of our convertible debentures, using
the if-converted method, when such conversion is dilutive. If our convertible debentures are
dilutive, interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of tax, are added to net
income used in calculating basic net income per share to arrive at net income used in calculating
diluted net income per share.
The following schedule reconciles the computation of basic net income per share and diluted net
income per share (shares in thousands):

NOTE 10: RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Concentration of Suppliers
We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility and do not have the resources to
manufacture our products internally. We rely on four third-party foundries to produce all of our
wafers and three assembly and test vendors for completion of finished products. We do not have any
long-term agreements with any of these suppliers. In light of these dependencies, it is reasonably
possible that failure to perform by one of these suppliers could have a severe impact on our
results of operations.
Risk of Technological Change
The markets in which we compete, or seek to compete, are subject to rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions, changing customer requirements for new products and features
and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new technologies and the emergence of new
industry standards could render our products less desirable or obsolete, which could harm our
business.
16
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash
equivalents, short- and long-term marketable securities and accounts receivable. We limit our
exposure to credit risk associated with cash equivalent and marketable security balances by placing
our funds in various high-quality securities and limiting concentrations of issuers and maturity
dates. We limit our exposure to credit risk associated with accounts receivable by carefully
evaluating creditworthiness before offering terms to customers.
NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Indemnifications
Certain of our agreements include limited indemnification provisions for claims from third-parties
relating to our intellectual property. Such indemnification provisions are accounted for in
accordance with FASB Summary of Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others-an
interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No.34.
The indemnification is limited to the amount paid by the customer. As of March 31, 2008, we have
not incurred any material liabilities arising from these indemnification obligations. However, in
the future such obligations could immediately impact our results of operations but are not expected
to materially affect our business.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to legal matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our
business. Although we currently believe that resolving such matters, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, our results of
operations, or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of
these matters may change in the future.

Net revenue was constant at $24.0 million in the first quarters of 2008 and 2007. Although revenue
was flat, average selling price (ASP) and units sold increased 15% and decreased 13%,
respectively, from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008. The increase in ASP
from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008 was primarily due to an increase in the
percentage of total revenue from the multimedia projector market.
Multimedia Projector
Revenue from the multimedia projector market increased 13% from the first quarter of 2007 to the
first quarter of 2008. This increase resulted from our end customers strength in the market and
to growth of the market. Units sold and ASP in the multimedia projector market increased 11% and
2%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008.
Advanced Television
Revenue from the advanced television market decreased 42% from the first quarter of 2007 to the
first quarter of 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to our decision to shift focus
away from the commoditized SoC segment of the advanced television market. With our new strategy we
are developing co-processor ICs that will improve the video performance of any image processor in
the large screen, high resolution, high quality segment of the advanced television market. Units
sold and ASP in the advanced television market decreased 49% and increased 12%, respectively, from
the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008.
Advanced Media Processor
Revenue in the advanced media processor market resulted from our acquisition of Equator
Technologies, Inc. in June 2005. Revenue from this market decreased 2% from the first quarter of
2007 to the first quarter of 2008. The decrease resulted from a 10% decrease in units sold,
partially offset by an 8% increase in ASP.
As a result of our April 2006 restructuring plan, we expect to see revenue from this market
decrease over time as customers switch to next generation designs from other suppliers.
LCD Monitor, Panel and Other
LCD monitor, panel and other revenue increased $0.9 million from the first quarter of 2007 to the
first quarter of 2008. We have decided to no longer focus development efforts on any of these
markets, and expect to see this revenue decrease over time.

Direct product costs and related overhead decreased to 45% of total revenue in the first quarter of
2008, down from 52% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2007. This decrease resulted
primarily from lower pricing obtained from vendors, a more favorable mix of products sold, increases in production yields and a decrease in royalty expense.
Research and development
Research and development expense includes compensation and related costs for personnel,
development-related expenses including non-recurring engineering and fees for outside services,

Research and development expense decreased $5.3 million, or 44%, from the first quarter of 2007 to
the first quarter of 2008. This decrease is directly attributable to the restructuring efforts
that we initiated in 2006 and continued to implement throughout 2007 and during the first quarter
of 2008. These efforts are focused on returning the Company to profitability and resulted in the
following reductions in research and development expenses:
|
|
Depreciation and amortization expense, software maintenance expense and expensed equipment
and software decreased $1.9 million. This decrease is primarily due to the December 31, 2007
write off of engineering software tools, which we are no longer using due to reductions in
research and development personnel and changes in product development strategy.
|

|
|
Compensation expense decreased $1.5 million. At March 31, 2008, we had 142 research and
development employees compared to 200 at March 31, 2007. |
|
|
Development-related expenses, including non-recurring engineering and outside services,
decreased $734,000. |
|
|
Facilities and information technology expense allocations decreased $714,000, primarily due
to lower rent expense and reductions in outsourced IT support. |

In February 2008, we repurchased and retired $50.2 million of our outstanding debt for
$37.9 million in cash, including legal and other professional fees of $755,000. We recognized
a gain on this repurchase of $11.6 million, net of a write off of debt issuance costs of
$752,000. |
|
2 |
|
In the first quarter of 2008, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of $6.5
million on a publicly-traded equity security, due to the duration of time that the investment
has been below cost and the decline in the public stock price during the quarter. At December
31, 2007, $4.8 million unrealized loss was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in
shareholders deficit. |
22
|
|
|
3 |
|
Interest income is earned on cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable
securities. The decrease in the first quarter of 2008 is due to lower balances of marketable
securities which resulted from our February 2008 repurchase of long-term debt. |
|
4 |
|
Interest expense primarily relates to interest payable on our long-term debt. The
decrease in the first quarter of 2008 is due to the reduced outstanding principal balance
which resulted from our February 2008 repurchase of long-term debt. |
|
5 |
|
The fees associated with the 2004 issuance of our long-term debt have been capitalized
and are being amortized over a period of seven years. The remaining amortization period is
approximately three years as of March 31, 2008. |
Provision (benefit) for income taxes
The provision (benefit) for income taxes recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and 2007 was $(1.6) million and $622,000, respectively, and includes current and deferred tax
expense in profitable cost-plus foreign jurisdictions and accruals for tax contingencies in foreign
jurisdictions. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a benefit
of $1.0 million for refundable research and experimentation credits, a benefit of $559,000 for the
reversal of a previously recorded tax contingency due to the expiration of the applicable statute
of limitations, and a deferred tax benefit of $446,000 which resulted from an increase in the tax
rate of a single foreign jurisdiction. The tax rate change in the foreign jurisdiction will result
in an adjustment to the carrying amount of our deferred tax assets.
Business Outlook
On April 24, 2008, we provided an outlook for the second quarter of 2008 in our earnings release,
which was furnished on a current report on Form 8-K. The outlook provided the following
anticipated financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles:
We expect to record net loss per share in the second quarter of 2008 of $(0.03) to $(0.10),
based on the following estimates:
|
|
|
Second quarter revenue of $19.0 million to $21.0 million. |
|
|
|
|
Gross profit margin of approximately 46% to 49%. |
|
|
|
|
Operating expenses of $11.5 million to $12.5 million. |
|
|
|
|
Interest and other income, net of approximately $150,000. |
|
|
|
|
Tax provision of $250,000 to $750,000. |

Total cash and marketable securities decreased 32% from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008. The
net decrease in the first quarter of 2008 resulted primarily from $5.1 million cash flow from
operations, offset by $37.9 million for the repurchase of long-term debt, $1.8 million in payments
on property and equipment and other asset financing, $1.2 million for the repurchase of our common
stock and $473,000 for purchases of property and equipment and other long-term assets.
We anticipate that our existing cash and investment balances will be adequate to fund our operating
and investing needs for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. From time to time, we
may evaluate acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that complement our business.
Any such transactions, if consummated, may consume a material portion of our working capital or
require the issuance of equity securities that may result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net decreased to $5.8 million at March 31, 2008 from $6.2 million at December
31, 2007. The average number of days sales outstanding increased to 22 days at March 31, 2008 from
21 days at December 31, 2007.
Inventories, net
Inventories, net decreased to $8.3 million at March 31, 2008 from $11.3 million at December 31,
2007. Inventory turnover on an annualized basis increased to 4.7 at March 31, 2008 from 3.9 at
December 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, this represented approximately eleven weeks of inventory
on hand.
Capital resources
In 2004, we issued $150.0 million of 1.75% convertible subordinated debentures (the debentures)
due 2024. In February 2006, we repurchased and retired $10.0 million of the debentures. In
January 2008, we commenced a modified dutch auction tender offer under which we offered to
purchase, for cash, up to $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the debentures at a price not
greater than $750 nor less than $680 per $1,000 principal amount. The tender offer expired on
February 28, 2008 and we repurchased $50.2 million principal amount of the debentures, which
included $248,000 that we were allowed to purchase without extending the tender offer in accordance
with applicable securities laws. The purchase price was $740 per $1,000. We recognized a net gain
of $11.6 million on the repurchase, which included the $13.1 million discount, offset by legal and
professional fees of $755,000 and a write-off of debt issuance costs of $752,000.
We may redeem some or all of the debentures for cash on or after May 15, 2011 at a price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of
the debentures have the right to require us to purchase all or a
portion of the $89.8 million debentures outstanding at each of
the following dates: May
15, 2011, May 15, 2014, and May 15, 2019, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest.
24
The debentures are unsecured obligations and are subordinated in
right of payment to all our existing and future senior debt.
On September 25, 2007, we announced a share repurchase program under which the board of directors
authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of our common stock over the next twelve months.
During 2007, we repurchased 3,782,500 common shares at a cost of $4.3 million. During the first
quarter of 2008, we purchased an additional 1,593,800 shares at a cost of $1.2 million. As of
March 31, 2008, $4.5 million remained available for repurchase under the plan.
Contractual Payment Obligations
Our contractual obligations for 2008 and beyond are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on
March 12, 2008. Our obligations for 2008 and beyond have not changed materially as of March 31,
2008, except for the reduction to the principal amount of long-term debt that we expect the holders
of the outstanding debentures to require us to purchase in 2011, as presented above in Liquidity
and Capital Resources.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a
material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our primary market risk exposure is the impact of interest rate fluctuations on interest income
earned on our investment portfolio. We mitigate risks associated with such fluctuations, as well
as the risk of loss of principal, by investing in high-credit quality securities and limiting
concentrations of issuers and maturity dates. Derivative financial instruments are not part of our
investment portfolio.
As of March 31, 2008, we had convertible subordinated debentures of $89.8 million outstanding with
a fixed interest rate of 1.75%. Interest rate changes affect the fair value of the debentures, but
do not affect our earnings or cash flow.
All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and as a result, we have relatively little
exposure to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to our sales. We have employees located in
offices in Canada, Japan, Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China and as such, a portion of our
operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are
affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies. Any future
strengthening of those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating
results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars. We do not currently
hedge against foreign currency rate fluctuations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as
of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls
and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we
25
file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in
connection with managements evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the
Exchange Act, that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our shares of common stock involves a high degree of risk, and investors should
carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. If any of the
following risks occur, the market price of our shares of common stock could decline and investors
could lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks that we currently believe are
immaterial may also impair our business operations. In assessing these risks, investors should
also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, including our
consolidated financial statements and related notes, and our other filings made from time to time
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If we are delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market, there may not be a market for our common stock,
causing a decrease in the value of an investment in us and adversely affecting our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
On December 24, 2007, the NASDAQ Global Market notified us that, for the prior 30 consecutive
business days, the bid price of our common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share
requirement for continued inclusion of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. NASDAQ has
provided us with 180 calendar days, or until June 23, 2008, to regain compliance with NASDAQ
Marketplace Rules. If the bid price of our common stock does not close at or above $1.00 per share
for a period of at least ten consecutive business days by June 23, 2008, we expect NASDAQ to
provide written notice that our common stock will be delisted. Should that occur, we may appeal
the delisting determination. If our common stock is delisted, trading of our common stock will
most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as
the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. An investor is likely to find it less convenient to
sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter
market, and many investors may not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing
over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a
national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be
subject to SEC rules regarding penny stock, which impose additional disclosure requirements on
broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost
per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally
representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher priced stock, would
further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. For these reasons and others,
delisting would adversely affect the liquidity and trading volume and price of our common stock,
causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain
qualified employees and to raise capital.
26
If our shareholders approve a reverse split of the outstanding shares of our common stock pursuant
to the proposal to be voted on at our 2008 annual meeting of shareholders, any such reverse split
effected by our board of directors may not have the desired effect of increasing the bid price of
our common stock and facilitating our efforts to regain compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules
and may instead harm our business by reducing the liquidity and trading volume of our common stock.
Our board of directors has submitted for approval at our 2008 annual meeting of shareholders a
proposal that would grant the board the discretionary authority to effect a reverse split of the
outstanding shares of our common stock (a Reverse Split), at any time on or prior to the date of
our 2009 annual meeting of shareholders, at an exchange ratio to be set by the board within the
range of exchange ratios between one-for-two and one-for-five. The primary reason for the Reverse
Split would be to allow us to attempt to increase the bid price of our common stock by reducing the
number of outstanding shares of our common stock and facilitate our efforts to regain compliance
with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. However, even if we regain compliance, it could be temporary and
our common stock could again become subject to the risk of being delisted. Furthermore, the
Reverse Split would make it more difficult for us to meet certain other requirements for continued
listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, including rules related to the minimum number of shares that
must be in the public float, the minimum market value of the public float and the minimum number of
round lot holders. Our common stock might experience reduced liquidity and trading volume due to
the availability of fewer shares for trading after the Reverse Split and certain investors could
still consider the bid price of our common stock to be too low, including investors with express
policies prohibiting transactions involving lower-priced stocks or investors who are reluctant to
incur transaction costs that represent a higher percentage of the stock price of lower-priced
stocks than of higher-priced stocks. In addition, customers, suppliers or employees might consider
a company with a low stock price and reduced liquidity and trading volume as risky and might
accordingly be less likely to transact business with us.
The immediate effect of a Reverse Split would be to reduce the number of shares of our outstanding
common stock and to increase the bid price of our common stock. However, we cannot guarantee that
a Reverse Split would lead to an increase in the bid price of our common stock in proportion to the
reduction in the number of shares of our outstanding common stock or result in a long-term or
permanent increase in the bid price of our common stock. Because the bid price of our common stock
depends on our performance, prospects, general market conditions and other factors unrelated to the
number of shares of our common stock outstanding at any given time, and the market might perceive a
decision to effect a Reverse Split as a negative indicator of our future prospects, the bid price
of our common stock might decline after the Reverse Split (perhaps by an even greater percentage
than would have occurred in the absence of the Reverse Split). As a result, we might still be at
risk for adverse consequences associated with lower-priced stocks generally. The Reverse Split
might also produce other negative effects. Investors might consider the increased proportion of
unissued authorized shares to issued shares to have an anti-takeover effect under certain
circumstances, by allowing for dilutive issuances which could prevent certain shareholders from
changing the composition of the board or render tender offers for a combination with another entity
more difficult to complete successfully. Investors should refer to our Definitive Proxy Statement
on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2008 for more
information regarding the Reverse Split proposal.
Our new product strategy, which is targeted at markets demanding superior video and image quality,
may not significantly lead to increased revenue or gross profit in a timely manner or at all, which
could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
We have adopted a new product strategy that focuses on our core competencies in pixel processing
and delivering high levels of video and image quality. With this strategy, we continue to make
further
27
investments in development of our ImageProcessor architecture for the multimedia projector market,
with particular focus on adding increased performance and functionality. For the advanced
television market, we are shifting away from our previous approach of implementing our intellectual
property (IP) exclusively in system-on-chip integrated circuits (ICs), to an approach designed
to improve video performance of our customers image processors through the use of a co-processor
IC. This strategy is designed to address the needs of the large-screen, high-resolution,
high-quality segment of the advanced television market. Additionally, we are focusing our research
and development efforts on new areas beyond our traditional applications, which may not result in
increased revenue or gross profit.
We have designed our new strategy to help us take advantage of expected market trends. However,
our expectations may not be accurate and these markets may not develop or they may take longer to
develop than we expect. Additionally, developers of products may not choose to incorporate our
products into their products and we cannot assure you that our customers and potential customers
will accept our products quickly enough or in sufficient volume to grow revenue and gross profit.
A lack of market acceptance or insufficient market acceptance would materially and adversely affect
our results of operations.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits from the restructuring efforts announced in 2006 and
implemented throughout 2007 and during the first quarter of 2008 and we may need to initiate
additional restructuring efforts in the future.
Our restructuring plan announced in April 2006 was designed to reduce our breakeven point by
decreasing manufacturing overhead and operating expenses and focusing on our core business. In
November 2006 we announced an additional restructuring plan designed to further reduce operating
expenses. This plan, which we continued to implement throughout 2007 and during the first quarter
of 2008, included additional consolidation of our operations in order to reduce compensation and
rent expense, while at the same time making critical infrastructure investments in people, process
and information systems to improve efficiency.
Unforeseen circumstances may result in our not being able to obtain the full benefits of the
restructuring plans, or our assumptions about the benefits of the plans may prove incorrect or
inaccurate, leading to a reduced benefit. Therefore, we cannot assure you that future
restructuring efforts will not be necessary, or that the expected benefits from any future
restructuring efforts will be attained.
We have incurred substantial indebtedness as a result of the sale of convertible debentures.
As of March 31, 2008, $89.8 million of our 1.75% convertible subordinated debentures due 2024 were
outstanding. Although the debt obligations are due in 2024, the holders of debentures have the
right to require us to purchase all or a portion of the
$89.8 million debentures outstanding at each of the following
dates: May 15, 2011, May
15, 2014 and May 15, 2019. Since the market price of our common stock is significantly below the
conversion price of the debentures, the holders of our outstanding debentures are unlikely to
convert the debentures to common stock in accordance with the existing terms of the debentures.
Accordingly, we expect holders of the debentures to require us to purchase all of the outstanding
debentures on May 15, 2011, the earliest date allowed. Our ability to meet our debt service
obligations will be dependent upon our future performance, which will be subject to financial,
business and other factors affecting our operations, some of which are beyond our control. These
debentures could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain additional debt or equity
financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes, limit our flexibility in planning
for or reacting to changes in our business, reduce funds available for use in our operations and
make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures.
28
Additionally, one of the covenants of the indenture governing the debentures can be interpreted
such that if we are late with any of our required filings under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (1934 Act), and if we fail to affect a cure within 60 days, the holders of the
debentures can put the debentures back to the Company, whereby the debentures become immediately
due and payable. As a result of our restructuring efforts, we have fewer employees to perform
day-to-day controls, processes and activities and additionally, certain functions have been
transferred to new employees who are not as familiar with our procedures. These changes increase
the risk that we will be unable to make timely filings in accordance with the 1934 Act. Any
resulting default under our debentures would have a material adverse effect on our cash position
and operating results.
If we do not achieve additional design wins in the future, our ability to grow will be seriously
limited. Even if we achieve additional design wins in the future, we may not realize significant
revenue from the design wins.
Our future success depends on developers of advanced display products designing our products into
their systems. To achieve design wins, we must define and deliver cost-effective, innovative and
integrated semiconductors. Once a suppliers products have been designed into a system, the
developer may be reluctant to change its source of components due to the significant costs
associated with qualifying a new supplier. Accordingly, it may be difficult for us to achieve
additional design wins. The failure on our part to obtain additional design wins with leading
branded manufacturers or integrators, and to successfully design, develop and introduce new
products and product enhancements could seriously limit our ability to grow.
Additionally, achieving a design win does not necessarily mean that a developer will order large
volumes of our products. A design win is not a binding commitment by a developer to purchase our
products. Rather, it is a decision by a developer to use our products in the design process of
that developers products. Developers can choose at any time to discontinue using our products in
their designs or product development efforts. If our products are chosen to be incorporated into a
developers products, we may still not realize significant revenue from that developer if that
developers products are not commercially successful or if that developer chooses to qualify, or
incorporate the products of, a second source, and any of those circumstances might cause our
revenue to decline.
We may not be able to respond to the rapid technological changes in the markets in which we
compete, or seek to compete, or we may not be able to comply with industry standards in the future,
making our products less desirable or obsolete.
The markets in which we compete or seek to compete are subject to rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions, changing customer requirements for new products and features
and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new technologies and emergence of new
industry standards could render our products less desirable or obsolete, which could harm our
business. Examples of changing industry standards include the introduction of high-definition
television, which includes a variety of new formats, new video decoding technology, such as H.264
or Windows Media 11, new digital receivers and displays with higher resolutions, all of which have
required us to accelerate development of new products to meet these new standards. Our failure to
adequately respond to such technological changes could render our products obsolete or
significantly decrease our revenue.
Because of the complex nature of our semiconductor designs and associated manufacturing processes
and the rapid evolution of our customers product designs, we may not be able to develop new
products or product enhancements in a timely manner, which could decrease customer demand for our
products and reduce our revenue.
29
The development of our semiconductors is highly complex. These complexities require us to employ
advanced designs and manufacturing processes that are unproven. Many of our designs involve the
development of new high-speed analog circuits that are difficult to simulate and require physical
prototypes. The result can be longer and less predictable development cycles. Successful
development and timely introduction of new or enhanced products depends on a number of other
factors, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
accurate prediction of customer requirements and evolving industry standards, including
video decoding, digital interface and content piracy protection standards; |
|
|
|
|
development of advanced display technologies and capabilities; |
|
|
|
|
timely completion and introduction of new product designs; |
|
|
|
|
use of advanced foundry processes and achievement of high manufacturing yields; and |
|
|
|
|
market acceptance of new products. |
We will not always succeed in developing new products or product enhancements nor will we always do
so in a timely manner. If we are unable to successfully develop and introduce products in a timely
manner, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected. We have experienced
increased development time and delays in introducing new products that have resulted in
significantly less revenue than originally expected for those products. Acquisitions have
significantly added to the complexity of our product development efforts as we must now coordinate
very complex product development programs between multiple geographically dispersed locations.
Restructuring plans have also significantly affected our product development efforts. We may not
be successful in timely delivery of new products with reduced numbers of employees or with newer
inexperienced employees. Any such failure could cause us to lose customers or potential customers,
which would decrease our revenue.
Because of our long product development process and sales cycles, we may incur substantial costs
before we earn associated revenue and ultimately may not sell as many units of our products as we
originally anticipated.
We develop products based on anticipated market and customer requirements and incur substantial
product development expenditures, which can include the payment of large up-front, third-party
license fees and royalties, prior to generating associated revenue. Our work under these projects
is technically challenging and places considerable demands on our limited resources, particularly
on our most senior engineering talent.
Because the development of our products incorporates not only our complex and evolving technology
but also our customers specific requirements, a lengthy sales process is often required before
potential customers begin the technical evaluation of our products. Our customers typically
perform numerous tests and extensively evaluate our products before incorporating them into their
systems. The time required for testing, evaluation and design of our products into a customers
system can take up to nine months or more. It can take an additional nine months or longer before
a customer commences volume shipments of systems that incorporate our products. We cannot assure
you that the time required for the testing, evaluation and design of our products by our customers
would not be significantly longer than nine months.
Because of the lengthy development and sales cycles, we will experience delays between the time we
incur expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing and inventory and the time we
generate revenue, if any, from these expenditures. Additionally, if actual sales volumes for a
particular product are substantially less than originally anticipated, we may experience large
write-offs of capitalized license fees, software development tools, product masks, inventories or
other capitalized or deferred product-related costs that would negatively affect our operating
results. For example, in 2005 and 2006, we invested
30
significant amounts in research and development efforts for projects that were ultimately canceled
and for which we will not realize any revenue. In 2007, we wrote off assets with a net book value
of $6.9 million, which consisted primarily of engineering software tools that we were no longer
using due to reductions in research and development personnel and changes in product development
strategy.
The year ended December 31, 2004 was our only year of profitability since inception and we may be
unable to achieve profitability in future periods.
The year ended December 31, 2004 was our first and only year of profitability since inception.
Since then, we have incurred net losses. In addition, the profitability we achieved during the
first quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of gain we recognized on the repurchase of certain
of our convertible subordinated debentures, and we incurred operating losses during such period.
In 2006, we initiated restructuring plans, which we implemented throughout 2007 and the first
quarter of 2008, aimed at returning the Company to profitability. We cannot be certain these plans
will be successful or that we will achieve profitability in the future or, if we do, that we can
sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we are not profitable in the
future, we may be unable to continue our operations.
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results make it difficult to predict our future performance
and may result in volatility in the market price of our common stock.
Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter and are likely to
vary in the future based on a number of factors related to our industry and the markets for our
products that are difficult or impossible to predict. Some of these factors are not in our control
and any of them may cause our quarterly operating results or the price of our common stock to
fluctuate. These factors include, but are not limited to:
|
|
|
demand for multimedia projectors and advanced televisions; |
|
|
|
|
demand and timing of orders for our products; |
|
|
|
|
the deferral of customer orders in anticipation of new products or product enhancements
from us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
the deferral of or reduction in customer orders due to a reduction in our end customers
demand; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of one or more of our key distributors or customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the available production capacity at the semiconductor fabrication foundries
that manufacture our products; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the costs of manufacturing; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to provide adequate supplies of our products to customers and avoid excess
inventory; |
|
|
|
|
the announcement or introduction of products and technologies by our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
changes in product mix, product pricing or distribution channels; and |
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the advanced display and
semiconductor markets. |
Fluctuations in our quarterly results could adversely affect the price of our common stock in a
manner unrelated to our long-term operating performance. Because our operating results are
volatile and difficult to predict, you should not rely on the results of one quarter as an
indication of our future performance. Additionally, it is possible that in any future quarter our
operating results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this
event, the price of our common stock may decline significantly.
Our products are characterized by average selling prices that decline over relatively short periods
of time, which will negatively affect financial results unless we are able to reduce our product
costs or introduce new products with higher average selling prices.
31
Average selling prices for our products decline over relatively short periods of time, while many
of our product costs are fixed. When our average selling prices decline, our gross profit declines
unless we are able to sell more units or reduce the cost to manufacture our products. Our
operating results are negatively affected when revenue or gross profit declines. We have
experienced declines in our average selling prices and expect that we will continue to experience
them in the future, although we cannot predict when they may occur or how severe they will be. Our
financial results will suffer if we are unable to offset any reductions in our average selling
prices by increasing our sales volumes, reducing our costs, adding new features to our existing
products or developing new or enhanced products in a timely basis with higher selling prices or
gross profits.
Failure to manage any future expansion efforts effectively could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
To manage any future expansion efforts effectively in a rapidly evolving market, we must be able to
maintain and improve our operational and financial systems, train and manage our employee base and
attract and retain qualified personnel with relevant experience. We must also manage multiple
relationships with customers, business partners, contract manufacturers, suppliers and other third
parties. We could spend substantial amounts of time and money in connection with expansion efforts
for which we may not realize any profit. Our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate
to support our operations and we may not be able to expand quickly enough to exploit potential
market opportunities. If we do not manage any future expansion efforts effectively, our operating
expenses could increase more rapidly than our revenue, adversely affecting our financial condition
and results of operations.
Our future success depends upon the continued services of key personnel, many of whom would be
difficult to replace, and the loss of one or more of these employees could seriously harm our
business by delaying product development.
We believe our success depends, in large part, upon our ability to identify, attract and retain
qualified hardware and software engineers, sales, marketing, finance and managerial personnel.
Competition for talented personnel is intense and we may not be able to retain our key personnel or
identify, attract or retain other highly qualified personnel in the future. Because of the highly
technical nature of our business, the loss of key engineering personnel could delay product
introductions and significantly impair our ability to successfully create future products. If we
do not succeed in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications, our product
development efforts, revenue and business could be seriously harmed.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees
with appropriate qualifications. Currently, this risk has increased as we continue to implement
restructuring plans to consolidate our operating sites and change our strategic direction. In the
last eighteen months a significant portion of our executive management team has turned over,
including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Vice
President of Sales, Vice President of Business Operations and Vice President, General Manager of
China. During 2006 and 2007, we also experienced difficulties hiring and retaining qualified
engineers in our Shanghai design center.
Because we do not have long-term commitments from our customers and plan purchases based on
estimates of customer demand which may be inaccurate, we must contract for the manufacture of our
products based on potentially inaccurate estimates.
Our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments. Our
customers may cancel or defer purchase orders at any time. This process requires us to make
numerous forecast assumptions concerning demand, each of which may introduce error into our
estimates. If our
32
customers or we overestimate demand, we may purchase components or have products manufactured that
we may not be able to use or sell. As a result, we would have excess inventory, which would
negatively affect our operating results. For example, we overestimated demand for certain of our
products which led to charges for obsolete inventory in 2006 and 2007. Conversely, if our
customers or we underestimate demand, or if sufficient manufacturing capacity is not available, we
would forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships.
Our dependence on selling to distributors and integrators increases the complexity of managing our
supply chain and may result in excess inventory or inventory shortages.
Selling to distributors and integrators reduces our ability to forecast sales accurately and
increases the complexity of our business. Since our distributors act as intermediaries between us
and the companies using our products, we must rely on our distributors to accurately report
inventory levels and production forecasts. We must similarly rely on our integrators. Our
integrators are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that build display devices based on
specifications provided by branded suppliers. Selling to distributors and OEMs adds another layer
between us and the ultimate source of demand for our products, the consumer. These arrangements
require us to manage a complex supply chain and to monitor the financial condition and
creditworthiness of our distributors, integrators and customers. They also make it more difficult
for us to predict demand for our products. Our failure to manage one or more of these challenges
could result in excess inventory or inventory shortages that could materially impact our operating
results or limit the ability of companies using our semiconductors to deliver their products.
A significant amount of our revenue comes from a limited number of customers and distributors. Any
decrease in revenue from, or loss of, any of these customers or distributors could significantly
reduce our revenue.
The display manufacturing market is highly concentrated and we are, and will continue to be,
dependent on a limited number of customers and distributors for a substantial portion of our
revenue. Sales to distributors represented 52%, 57% and 52% of revenue for the three month period
ended March 31, 2008 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Sales to Tokyo
Electron Device, or TED, our Japanese distributor, represented 28%, 33% and 26% of revenue for the
three month period ended March 31, 2008 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Revenue attributable to our top five end customers represented 57%, 47% and 39% of revenue for the
three month period ended March 31, 2008 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Sales to Seiko Epson Corporation, our top end customer, represented 27%, 21% and 15% of revenue for
the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from one or more of our significant
customers, or a decision by one or more of our significant customers to select products
manufactured by a competitor or to use its own internally-developed semiconductors, would
significantly impact our revenue. For example, our loss of a key OEM customer in Europe
contributed to a $45.5 million, or 51%, decrease in advanced television revenue from 2005 to 2006.
The concentration of our accounts receivable with a limited number of customers exposes us to
increased credit risk and could harm our operating results and cash flows.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had four and two customers, respectively, that each
represented 10% or more of accounts receivable. The concentration of our accounts receivable with
a limited number of customers increases our credit risk. The failure of these customers to pay
their balances, or any other customer to pay future outstanding balances, would result in an
operating expense and reduce our cash flows.
33
The competitiveness and viability of our products could be harmed if necessary licenses of
third-party technology are not available to us or are only available on terms that are not
commercially viable.
We license technology from third parties that is incorporated into our products or product
enhancements. We currently have access to certain key technologies owned by independent third
parties, through license agreements typically granted on a product-by-by-product basis. Future
products or product enhancements may require additional third-party licenses that may not be
available to us or may not be available on terms that are commercially reasonable. In addition, in
the event of a change in control of one of our licensors, it may become difficult to maintain
access to its licensed technology. If we are unable to obtain or maintain any third-party license
required to develop new products and product enhancements, we may have to obtain substitute
technology with lower quality or performance standards or at greater cost, either of which could
seriously harm the competitiveness of our products.
Our limited ability to protect our IP and proprietary rights could harm our competitive position by
allowing our competitors to access our proprietary technology and to introduce similar products.
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies will depend, in part, on our ability to
maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, including our semiconductor designs and
software. We provide the computer programming code for our software to customers in connection
with their product development efforts, thereby increasing the risk that customers will
misappropriate our proprietary software. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark
and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to help protect our
proprietary technologies. As of December 31, 2007 we held 73 patents and had 80 patent
applications pending for protection of our significant technologies. Competitors in both the U.S.
and foreign countries, many of whom have substantially greater resources than we do, may apply for
and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make and sell our
products, or they may develop similar technology independently or design around our patents.
Effective copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in foreign
countries.
We cannot assure you that the degree of protection offered by patent or trade secret laws will be
sufficient. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any patents will be issued as a result of any
pending applications or that any claims allowed under issued patents will be sufficiently broad to
protect our technology. In addition, it is possible that existing or future patents may be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented.
Others may bring infringement actions against us that could be time consuming and expensive to
defend.
We may become subject to claims involving patents or other IP rights. IP claims could subject us
to significant liability for damages and invalidate our proprietary rights. In addition, IP claims
may be brought against customers that incorporate our products in the design of their own products.
These claims, regardless of their success or merit and regardless of whether we are named as
defendants in a lawsuit, would likely be time consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert
the time and attention of management and technical personnel. Any IP litigation or claims also
could force us to do one or more of the following:
|
|
|
stop selling products using technology that contains the allegedly infringing IP; |
|
|
|
|
attempt to obtain a license to the relevant IP, which may not be available on reasonable
terms or at all; |
|
|
|
|
attempt to redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing IP; or |
|
|
|
|
pay damages for past infringement claims that are determined to be valid or which are
arrived at in settlement of such litigation or threatened litigation. |
34
If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, we may incur significant additional costs or
be unable to manufacture and sell our products, which could seriously harm our business. In
addition, we may not be able to develop, license or acquire non-infringing technology under
reasonable terms. These developments could result in an inability to compete for customers or
otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.
Dependence on a limited number of sole-source, third-party manufacturers for our products exposes
us to shortages based on capacity allocation or low manufacturing yield, errors in manufacturing,
price increases with little notice, volatile inventory levels and delays in product delivery, which
could result in delays in satisfying customer demand, increased costs and loss of revenue.
We contract with third-party foundries for wafer fabrication and other manufacturers for packaging,
assembly and testing of our products. We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication
facility and do not have the resources to manufacture our products internally. Our wafers are
fabricated by Infineon Technologies AG, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation
(SMIC), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and Toshiba Corporation. Although we have
well established relationships with each of these suppliers, including an equity investment in
SMIC, the wafers used in each of our products are fabricated by only one of these manufacturers.
Sole sourcing each product increases our dependence on our suppliers. We have limited control over
delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing yields, potential errors in manufacturing and
production costs. We do not have long-term supply contracts with our third-party manufacturers or
packaging, assembly and testing contractors, so they are not obligated to supply us with products
for any specific period of time, quantity or price, except as may be provided in a particular
purchase order. From time to time, our suppliers increase prices charged to produce our products
with little notice. If the prices charged by our contract manufacturers increase we may increase
our prices, which could harm our competitiveness.
Our requirements represent only a small portion of the total production capacity of our contract
manufacturers, who have in the past re-allocated capacity to other customers even during periods of
high demand for our products. We expect this may occur again in the future. If we are unable to
obtain our products from our contract manufacturers on schedule, our ability to satisfy customer
demand will be harmed and revenue from the sale of products may be lost or delayed. If orders for
our products are cancelled, expected revenue would not be realized. For example, in the fourth
quarter of 2005, one of our contract manufacturers experienced temporary manufacturing delays due
to unexpected manufacturing process problems, which caused delays in delivery of our products and
made it difficult for us to satisfy our customer demand.
If we have to qualify a new foundry or packaging, assembly and testing supplier for any of our
products, we may experience delays that result in lost revenue and damaged customer relationships.
Our products require manufacturing with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and techniques, and
the wafers manufactured for any one of our products are not fabricated by more than one supplier.
Because the lead-time needed to establish a relationship with a new contract manufacturer is at
least nine months, and the estimated time for us to adapt a products design to a particular
contract manufacturers process is at least four months, there is no readily available alternative
supply source for any specific product. If we have to qualify a new foundry or packaging, assembly
and testing supplier for any of our products, we could incur significant delays in shipping
products, which may result in lost revenue and damaged customer relationships.
Manufacturers of our semiconductor products periodically discontinue older manufacturing processes,
which could make our products unavailable from our current suppliers.
35
Semiconductor manufacturing technologies change rapidly and manufacturers typically discontinue
older manufacturing processes in favor of newer ones. For instance, a portion of our products use
embedded dynamic random access memory, (DRAM) technology, which requires manufacturing processes
that are being phased out. We also utilize 0.18um, 0.15um and 0.13um standard logic processes,
which may only be available for the next five to seven years. Once a manufacturer makes the
decision to retire a manufacturing process, notice is generally given to its customers. Customers
will then either retire the affected part or develop a new version of the part that can be
manufactured with a newer process. In the event that a manufacturing process is discontinued, our
current suppliers may not be able to manufacture our current products. Additionally, migrating to
a new, more advanced process requires significant expenditures for research and development and
takes significant time. For example in the third quarter of 2006, one of our third-party foundries
discontinued the manufacturing process used to produce one of our products. While we were able to
place last time buy orders, we underestimated demand for this part. As a result, we had to pay
additional amounts to the foundry to restart production and we were unable to fulfill customer
orders in a timely manner.
We are dependent on our foundries to implement complex semiconductor technologies and our
operations could be adversely affected if those technologies are unavailable, delayed or
inefficiently implemented.
In order to increase performance and functionality and reduce the size of our products, we are
continuously developing new products using advanced technologies that further miniaturize
semiconductors. However, we are dependent on our foundries to develop and provide access to the
advanced processes that enable such miniaturization. We cannot be certain that future advanced
manufacturing processes will be implemented without difficulties, delays or increased expenses.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected
if advanced manufacturing processes are unavailable to us, substantially delayed or inefficiently
implemented.
Our highly integrated products and high-speed mixed signal products are difficult to manufacture
without defects and the existence of defects could result in increased costs, delays in the
availability of our products, reduced sales of products or claims against us.
The manufacture of semiconductors is a complex process and it is often difficult for semiconductor
foundries to produce semiconductors free of defects. Because many of our products are more highly
integrated than other semiconductors and incorporate mixed analog and digital signal processing and
embedded memory technology, they are even more difficult to produce without defects.
Defective products can be caused by design or manufacturing difficulties. Therefore, identifying
quality problems can occur only by analyzing and testing our semiconductors in a system after they
have been manufactured. The difficulty in identifying defects is compounded because the process
technology is unique to each of the multiple semiconductor foundries we contract with to
manufacture our products.
Despite testing by both our customers and us, errors or performance problems may be found in
existing or new semiconductors. Failure to achieve defect-free products may result in increased
costs and delays in the availability of our products. Additionally, customers could seek damages
from us for their losses and shipments of defective products may harm our reputation with our
customers.
We have experienced field failures of our semiconductors in certain customer system applications
that required us to institute additional testing. As a result of these field failures, we incurred
warranty costs due to customers returning potentially affected products. Our customers have also
experienced delays in receiving product shipments from us that resulted in the loss of revenue and
profits. Shipments of defective
36
products could cause us to lose customers or incur significant replacement costs, either of which
would harm our business.
We use a customer owned tooling process for manufacturing many of our products which exposes us to
the possibility of poor yields and unacceptably high product costs.
We are building many of our products on a customer owned tooling basis, also known in the
semiconductor industry as COT, where we directly contract the manufacture of wafers and assume the
responsibility for the assembly and testing of our products. As a result, we are subject to
increased risks arising from wafer manufacturing yields and risks associated with coordination of
the manufacturing, assembly and testing process. Poor product yields would result in higher
product costs, which could make our products uncompetitive if we increased our prices or could
result in low gross profit margins if we did not increase our prices.
Shortages of materials used in the manufacturing of our products may increase our costs or limit
our revenue and impair our ability to ship our products on time.
From time to time, shortages of materials that are used in our products may occur. In particular,
we may experience shortages of semiconductor wafers and packages. If material shortages occur, we
may incur additional costs or be unable to ship our products to our customers in a timely fashion,
both of which could harm our business and adversely affect our results of operations.
Shortages of other key components for our customers products could delay our ability to sell our
products.
Shortages of components and other materials that are critical to the design and manufacture of our
customers products could limit our sales. These components include display components,
analog-to-digital converters, digital receivers and video decoders.
Integration of software with our products adds complexity and cost that may affect our ability to
achieve design wins and may affect our profitability.
The integration of software with our products adds complexity, may extend our internal development
programs and could impact our customers development schedules. This complexity requires increased
coordination between hardware and software development schedules and may increase our operating
expenses without a corresponding increase in product revenue. This additional level of complexity
lengthens the sales cycle and may result in customers selecting competitive products requiring less
software integration.
Our software development tools may be incompatible with industry standards and challenging to
implement, which could slow product development or cause us to lose customers and design wins.
We provide software development tools to help customers evaluate our products and bring them into
production. Software development is a complex process and we are dependent on software development
languages and operating systems from vendors that may compromise our ability to design software in
a timely manner. Also, as software tools and interfaces change rapidly, new software languages
introduced to the market may be incompatible with our existing systems and tools. New software
development languages may not be compatible with our own, requiring significant engineering efforts
to migrate our existing systems in order to be compatible with those new languages. Existing or
new software development tools could make our current products obsolete or hard to use. Software
development disruptions could slow our product development or cause us to lose customers and design
wins.
37
International sales account for almost all of our revenue, and if we do not successfully address
the risks associated with our international operations, our revenue could decrease.
Sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 96% of revenue for the three month period ended
March 31, 2008 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. We anticipate that sales outside the
U.S. will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenue in future periods. In
addition, customers who incorporate our products into their products sell a substantial portion of
their products outside of the U.S., and all of our products are manufactured outside of the U.S.
We are, therefore, subject to many international risks, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
increased difficulties in managing international distributors and manufacturers due to
varying time zones, languages and business customs; |
|
|
|
|
foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the currencies of Japan, the Peoples Republic
of China (PRC), Taiwan or Korea that could result in an increase in our operating
expenses and cost of procuring our semiconductors; |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties regarding timing and availability of export and import licenses, which have
limited our ability to freely move demonstration equipment and samples in and out of Asia; |
|
|
|
|
political and economic instability, particularly in the PRC, Japan, Taiwan, or Korea; |
|
|
|
|
reduced or limited protection of our IP, particularly in software, which is more prone
to design piracy; |
|
|
|
|
increased transaction costs related to sales transactions conducted outside of the U.S.,
such as charges to secure letters of credit; |
|
|
|
|
increased risk of internal control weaknesses for key processes transferred to our Asian
operations; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in maintaining sales representatives outside of the U.S. that are
knowledgeable about our industry and products; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC, Japan, Taiwan and Korea that may
significantly impact purchases of our products by our customers; |
|
|
|
|
outbreaks of SARS, bird flu or other pandemics in the PRC or other parts of Asia; and |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in collecting outstanding accounts receivable balances. |
Our presence and investment within the Peoples Republic of China subjects us to risks of economic
and political instability in the area, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
A substantial, and potentially increasing, portion of our products are manufactured by foundries
located in the PRC. In addition, a significant percentage of our employees are located in this
area. Disruptions from natural disasters, health epidemics (including new outbreaks of SARS or
bird flu) and political, social and economic instability may affect the region and would have a
negative impact on our results of operations. In addition, the economy of the PRC differs from the
economies of many countries in respects such as structure, government involvement, level of
development, growth rate, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources, self-sufficiency, rate of
inflation and balance of payments position, among others. In the past, the economy of the PRC has
been primarily a planned economy subject to state plans. Since the entry of the PRC into the World
Trade Organization in 2002, the PRC government has been reforming its economic and political
systems. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social change. We cannot
be assured that the PRCs policies for economic reforms will be consistent or effective. Our
results of operations and financial position may be harmed by changes in the PRCs political,
economic or social conditions.
38
The concentration of our manufacturers and customers in the same geographic region increases our
risk that a natural disaster, labor strike or political unrest could disrupt our operations.
Most of our current manufacturers and customers are located in the PRC, Japan, Korea or Taiwan.
The risk of earthquakes in the Pacific Rim region is significant due to the proximity of major
earthquake fault lines in the area. Common consequences of earthquakes include power outages and
disruption or impairment of production capacity. Earthquakes, fire, flooding, power outages and
other natural disasters in the Pacific Rim region, or political unrest, labor strikes or work
stoppages in countries where our manufacturers and customers are located, would likely result in
the disruption of our manufacturers and customers operations. Any disruption resulting from
extraordinary events could cause significant delays in shipments of our products until we are able
to shift our manufacturing from the affected contractor to another third-party vendor. There can
be no assurance that alternative capacity could be obtained on favorable terms, or in a timely
manner, if at all.
Decreased effectiveness of share-based payment awards could adversely affect our ability to attract
and retain employees, officers and directors.
We have historically used stock options and other forms of share-based payment awards as key
components of our total compensation program in order to retain employees, officers and directors
and to provide competitive compensation and benefit packages. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R), we began
recording stock-based compensation expense for share-based awards in the first quarter of 2006. As
a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant compensation costs associated
with our share-based programs, making it more expensive for us to grant share-based payment awards
to employees, officers and directors. We continually review our equity compensation strategy in
light of current regulatory and competitive environments and consider changes to the program as
appropriate. In addition, to the extent that SFAS 123R makes it more expensive to grant stock
options or to continue to have an employee stock purchase plan, we may decide to incur cash
compensation costs in the future. Actions that we take to reduce stock-based compensation expense
that might be more aggressive than actions implemented by our competitors could make it difficult
to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, or directors, which could adversely affect our
competitive position as well as our business and results of operations. As a result of reviewing
our equity compensation strategy, in 2006 we reduced the total number of options granted to
employees and the number of employees who receive share-based payment awards.
We may be unable to successfully integrate any future acquisition or equity investment we make,
which could disrupt our business and severely harm our financial condition.
We may not be able to successfully integrate businesses, products, technologies or personnel of any
entity that we might acquire in the future, and any failure to do so could disrupt our business and
seriously harm our financial condition. In addition, if we acquire any company with weak internal
controls, it will take time to get the acquired company up to a level of operating effectiveness
acceptable to us and to implement adequate internal control, management, financial and operating
reporting systems. Our inability to address these risks could negatively affect our operating
results.
To date, we have acquired Panstera, Inc. (Panstera) in January 2001, nDSP Corporation (nDSP) in
January 2002, Jaldi Semiconductor Corporation (Jaldi) in September 2002 and Equator Technologies,
Inc. (Equator) in June 2005. In March 2003, we announced the execution of a definitive merger
agreement with Genesis Microchip, Inc.; however, the merger was terminated in August 2003, and we
incurred $8.9 million of expenses related to the transaction.
39
The acquisitions of Panstera, nDSP, Jaldi and Equator contained a very high level of risk primarily
because the decisions to acquire these companies were made based on unproven technological
developments and, at the time of the acquisitions, we did not know if we would complete the
unproven technologies or, if we did complete the technologies, if they would be commercially
viable.
These and any future acquisitions and investments could result in any of the following negative
events, among others:
|
|
|
issuance of stock that dilutes current shareholders percentage ownership; |
|
|
|
|
incurrence of debt; |
|
|
|
|
assumption of liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
amortization expenses related to acquired intangible assets; |
|
|
|
|
impairment of goodwill; |
|
|
|
|
large and immediate write-offs; or |
|
|
|
|
decreases in cash and marketable securities that could otherwise serve as working
capital. |
Our operation of any acquired business will also involve numerous risks, including, but not limited
to:
|
|
|
problems combining the acquired operations, technologies or products; |
|
|
|
|
unanticipated costs; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention from our core business; |
|
|
|
|
adverse effects on existing business relationships with customers; |
|
|
|
|
risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
and |
|
|
|
|
potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired organizations. |
Our acquisition of Equator has not been as successful as we had anticipated. We acquired Equator
for an aggregate purchase price of $118.1 million and recorded, among other assets, $57.5 million
in goodwill, $36.8 million in acquired developed technology and $4.2 million in other acquired
intangible assets. However, the Equator technology has not proven as useful as we had hoped, and
thus we have recorded impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets acquired from Equator.
Only $5.1 million of the developed technology and $75,000 of the customer relationship intangible
assets acquired from Equator remain on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 and only
a few of the Equator employees remain employed by us. Additionally, while we are continuing to
provide customers with existing products, we are no longer pursuing stand-alone advanced media
processor markets that are not core to our business. We cannot assure you that any future
acquisitions we make will be successful or will result in increased revenue or market share.
Environmental laws and regulations have caused us to incur, and may cause us to continue to incur,
significant expenditures to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and may cause us to incur
significant penalties for noncompliance.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with current or future
environmental laws and regulations could require us to incur substantial expenses which could harm
our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, during 2006 the European
Parliament enacted the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, or RoHS, which restricts the
sale of new electrical and electronic equipment containing certain hazardous substances, including
lead. In 2006, we incurred increased inventory provisions as a result of the enactment of RoHS,
which adversely affected our gross profit margin. Additionally during 2006, the European
Parliament enacted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive, or WEEE Directive,
which makes producers of electrical and electronic equipment financially responsible for specified
collection, recycling, treatment and
40
disposal of past and future covered products. Additionally, some jurisdictions have begun to
require various levels of Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) certification,
which are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 1680 standard. The
highest levels of EPEAT certification restrict the usage of halogen. Although our older generation
products, many of which are still shipping to customers, do contain halogen, our next generation
designs do not. We have worked, and will continue to work, with our suppliers and customers to
ensure that our products are compliant with enacted laws and regulations. Failure by us or our
contract manufacturers to comply with such legislation could result in customers refusing to
purchase our products and could subject us to significant monetary penalties in connection with a
violation, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. These environmental laws and regulations could become more
stringent over time, imposing even greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties
associated with violations, which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations. There can be no assurance that violations of environmental laws or
regulations will not occur in the future as a result of our inability to obtain permits, human
error, equipment failure or other causes.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Insufficient supplies of advanced display components or failure of consumer demand for advanced
displays and other digital display technologies to increase would impede our growth and adversely
affect our business.
Our product development strategies anticipate that consumer demand for multimedia projectors,
advanced televisions and other emerging display technologies will increase in the future. The
success of our products is dependent on increased demand for these display technologies. The
potential size of the market for products incorporating these display technologies and the timing
the markets development are uncertain and will depend upon a number of factors, all of which are
beyond our control. In order for the market in which we participate to grow, advanced display
products must be widely available and affordable to consumers. In the past, the supply of advanced
display products has been cyclical. We expect this pattern to continue. Under-capacity in the
advanced display market may limit our ability to increase our revenue because our customers may
limit their purchases of our products if they cannot obtain sufficient supplies of advanced display
components. In addition, advanced display prices may remain high because of limited supply, and
consumer demand may not grow.
Intense competition in our markets may reduce sales of our products, reduce our market share,
decrease our gross profit and result in large losses.
Rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, compressed product life cycles and
declining average selling prices are characteristics of our market and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As the overall
price of advanced flat panel displays continues to fall, we may be required to offer our products
to manufacturers at discounted prices due to increased price competition. At the same time, new
alternative technologies and industry standards may emerge that directly compete with technologies
we offer. We may be required to increase our investment in research and development at the same
time that product prices are falling. In addition, even after making this investment, we cannot
assure you that our technologies will be superior to those of our competitors or that our products
will achieve market acceptance, whether for performance or price reasons. Failure to effectively
respond to these trends could reduce the demand for our products.
We compete with specialized and diversified electronics and semiconductor companies that offer
display processors or scaling components. Some of these include ATI Technologies Inc., Broadcom
Corporation, i-Chips Technologies Inc., ITE Tech. Inc., Jepico Corp., Macronix International Co.,
Ltd., MediaTek Inc.,
41
Media Reality Technologies Inc., Micronas Semiconductor Holding AG, MStar Semiconductor, Inc.,
Realtek Semiconductor Corp., Renesas Technology Corp., Sigma Designs, Inc., Silicon Image, Inc.,
Silicon Optix Inc., STMicroelectronics N.V., Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd., Techwell, Inc., Topro
Technology Inc., Trident Microsystems, Inc., Trumpion Microelectronics Inc., Weltrend
Semiconductor, Inc., Zoran Corporation and other companies. Potential competitors may include
diversified semiconductor manufacturers and the semiconductor divisions or affiliates of some of
our customers, including Intel Corporation, LG Electronics, Inc., Matsushita Electric Industrial
Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc., National Semiconductor Corporation, NEC
Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, NXP Semiconductors, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., SANYO Electric
Co., Ltd., Seiko Epson Corporation, Sharp Electronics Corporation, Sony Corporation, Texas
Instruments Incorporated and Toshiba America, Inc. In addition, start-up companies may seek to
compete in our markets.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater resources to support
development and marketing efforts than we do. Some of our competitors operate their own
fabrication facilities. These competitors may be able to react more quickly and devote more
resources to efforts that compete directly with our own. In the future, our current or potential
customers may also develop their own proprietary technologies and become our competitors. Our
competitors may develop advanced technologies enabling them to offer more cost-effective products.
Increased competition could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations by,
for example, increasing pressure on our profit margin or causing us to lose sales opportunities.
We cannot assure you that we can compete successfully against current or potential competitors.
If products incorporating our semiconductors are not compatible with computer display protocols,
video standards and other devices, the market for our products will be reduced and our business
prospects could be significantly limited.
Our products are incorporated into our customers products, which have different parts and
specifications and utilize multiple protocols that allow them to be compatible with specific
computers, video standards and other devices. If our customers products are not compatible with
these protocols and standards, consumers will return, or not purchase, these products and the
markets for our customers products could be significantly reduced. As a result, a portion of our
market would be eliminated, and our business would be harmed.
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may lead to significant variances in the demand
for our products and could harm our operations.
In the past, the semiconductor industry has been characterized by significant downturns and wide
fluctuations in supply and demand. Also, the industry has experienced significant fluctuations in
anticipation of changes in general economic conditions, including economic conditions in Asia and
North America. The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has led to significant variances
in product demand and production capacity. We may experience periodic fluctuations in our future
financial results because of changes in industry-wide conditions.
Other Risks
The price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate substantially.
We have received notice from the NASDAQ Global Market (the Market) that our stock no longer meets
the minimum requirements for continued listing on the Market and that we have until June 23, 2008
to regain compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Even if our common stock is not delisted,
investors
42
may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price they paid due to a number
of factors, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
|
|
|
|
actual reduction in our operating results due to the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1,
2006, which requires the expensing of stock options; |
|
|
|
|
changes in expectations as to our future financial performance; |
|
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates of securities analysts; |
|
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations, design wins,
contracts, standards or acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of future expectations by our customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in market valuations of other technology companies; |
|
|
|
|
inconsistent trading volume levels of our common stock; and |
|
|
|
|
additional future communications from NASDAQ concerning delisting or potential
delisting. |
The stock prices of technology companies similar to Pixelworks have been highly volatile. Market
fluctuations as well as general economic and political conditions, including recessions, interest
rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our
common stock. Therefore, the price of our common stock may decline, and the value of your
investment may be reduced regardless of our performance. Any scenario in which investors may not
be able to realize a gain when they sell our common stock would have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and
retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
The anti-takeover provisions of Oregon law and in our articles of incorporation could adversely
affect the rights of the holders of our common stock by preventing a sale or takeover of us at a
price or prices favorable to the holders of our common stock.
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and provisions of Oregon law may have the
effect of delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition of us, making a merger or acquisition of
us less desirable to a potential acquirer or preventing a change in our management, even if our
shareholders consider the merger, acquisition or change in management favorable or if doing so
would benefit our shareholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price that investors
would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. The following are examples
of such provisions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws:
|
|
|
our board of directors is authorized, without prior shareholder approval, to change the
size of the board. Our articles of incorporation provide that if the board is increased to
eight or more members, the board will be divided into three classes serving staggered
terms, which would make it more difficult for a group of shareholders to quickly change the
composition of our board; |
|
|
|
|
our board of directors is authorized, without prior shareholder approval, to create and
issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the
success of any attempt to acquire us or to effect a change of control, commonly referred to
as blank check preferred stock; |
|
|
|
|
members of our board of directors can only be removed for cause and at a meeting of
shareholders called expressly for that purpose, by the vote of 75 percent of the votes then
entitled to be cast for the election of directors; |
|
|
|
|
the board of directors may alter our bylaws without obtaining shareholder approval; and |
|
|
|
|
shareholders are required to provide advance notice for nominations for election to the
board of directors or for proposing matters to be acted upon at a shareholder meeting. |
43
We may be unable to meet our future capital requirements, which would limit our ability to grow.
As of March 31, 2008, we had $89.8 million of unsecured convertible debentures due 2024 outstanding
and $81.4 million in cash and marketable securities, resulting in a net cash deficit position.
Although the obligations are due in 2024, the holders of debentures have the right to require us to
purchase all or a portion of the $89.8 million debentures
outstanding at each of the following dates: May 15, 2011, May 15, 2014 and May 15,
2019. Since the market price of our common stock is significantly below the conversion price of
the debentures, the holders of our outstanding debentures are unlikely to convert the debentures to
common stock in accordance with the existing terms of the debentures. Accordingly, we expect
holders of the debentures to require us to purchase all of the outstanding debentures on May 15,
2011.
On September 25, 2007, we announced a share repurchase program under which the board of directors
authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of our common stock over the following twelve
months. During 2007, we repurchased 3,782,500 common shares at a cost of $4.3 million. From
January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008, we repurchased 1,593,800 shares for $1.2 million. As of
March 31, 2008, $4.5 million remained available for repurchase under the plan.
While we believe that our current cash and marketable securities balances will be sufficient to
meet our capital requirements for the next twelve months, we cannot assure you that we will be able
to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future to refinance or service the
potential exercise of the put option on the convertible debentures. We may need, or could elect to
seek, additional funding prior to that time through public or private equity or debt financing.
Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or our shareholders. Furthermore,
if we issue equity securities, our shareholders may experience additional dilution or the new
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.
If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our
products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or
unanticipated requirements.
Continued compliance with new regulatory and accounting requirements will be challenging and will
require significant resources.
We are spending a significant amount of management time and external resources to comply with
changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
regulations and NASDAQ Global Market rules. In particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 requires managements annual review and evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting. The process of documenting and testing internal control over financial reporting has
required that we hire additional personnel and outside services and has resulted in higher
accounting and legal expenses. While we invested significant time and money in our effort to
evaluate and test our internal control over financial reporting, a material weakness was identified
in our internal control over financial reporting in 2004. Although the material weakness was
remediated in the first quarter of 2005, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any
system of internal controls and procedures, including cost limitations, the possibility of human
error, judgments and assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and the circumvention
or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective controls and procedures
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
