Business Activities and Basis of Presentation |
We are the worlds leading provider of thin-film disk
sputtering equipment for the thin-film disk industry and a
developer and provider of leading technology for extreme
low-light imaging sensors, cameras and systems. We operate two
businesses: Equipment and Imaging.
Our Equipment business designs, manufactures, markets and
services complex capital equipment used in the sputtering, or
deposition, of highly engineered thin-films of material onto
magnetic disks which are used in hard disk drives. Hard disk
drives are the primary storage medium for digital data and
function by storing data on magnetic disks. These thin-film
disks are created in a sophisticated manufacturing process
involving many steps, including plating, annealing, polishing,
texturing, sputtering and lubrication.
Our Imaging business develops and manufactures electro-optical
sensors, cameras, and systems that permit highly sensitive
detection of photons in the visible and near infrared portions
of the spectrum, allowing vision in extreme low light
situations. These efforts are aimed at creating new products for
both military and commercial applications.
The financial information at April 2, 2005 and for the
three-month periods ended April 2, 2005 and March 27,
2004 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring accruals) that we consider necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein,
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for
interim financial information, the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial
statements. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such
differences may be material to the financial statements.
The results for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005
are not considered indicative of the results to be expected for
any future period or for the entire year.
Historically, a significant portion of our revenues in any
particular period has been attributable to sales to a limited
number of customers. Our largest customers tend to change from
period to period.
We evaluate the collectibility of trade receivables on an
ongoing basis and provide reserves against potential losses when
appropriate.
Inventories are priced using standard costs, which approximate
cost under the first-in, first-out method and are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Inventories consist of the following:

INTEVAC, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Finished goods inventory consists primarily of completed systems
at customer sites that are undergoing installation and
acceptance testing.
Inventory reserves included in the above numbers were
$10.7 million and $9.9 million at April 2, 2005
and December 31, 2004, respectively. Each quarter, we
analyze our inventory (raw materials, WIP and finished goods)
against the forecast demand for the next 12 months. Raw
materials with no forecast requirements in that period are
considered excess and inventory provisions are established to
write those items down to zero net book value. Work-in-progress
and finished goods inventories with no forecast requirements in
that period are typically written down to the lower of cost or
market. During this process, some inventory is identified as
having no future use or value to us and is disposed of against
the reserves.
During the three months ended April 2, 2005, $720,000 was
added to inventory reserves based on the quarterly analysis and
a net $88,000 of inventory was recovered and credited against
the reserve. During the three months ended March 27, 2004,
$566,000 was added to inventory reserves based on the quarterly
analysis and a net $86,000 of inventory was disposed of and
charged to the reserve.
At April 2, 2005, we had two stock-based employee
compensation plans. We account for those plans under the
recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. We plan to adopt the fair value requirements of
SFAS No. 123R beginning in 2006.
The following table illustrates the effects on net income and
earnings per share if Intevac had applied the fair
value-recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
stock-based employee compensation.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during
the period was $6.37 and $6.98 for the three months ended
April 2, 2005 and March 27, 2005, respectively.
The pro forma net loss and net loss per share data listed above
includes expense related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP). The fair value of purchase rights granted
under the ESPP is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following

April 2, 2005 and March 27, 2004, respectively.
Our standard warranty is 12 months from customer
acceptance. We also sell extended warranties beyond
12 months to some customers. During this warranty period
any defective non-consumable parts are replaced and installed at
no charge to the customer. The warranty period on consumable
parts is limited to their reasonable usable life. A provision
for the estimated warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue
is recognized.
On the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the short-term
portion of the warranty is included in other accrued
liabilities, while the long-term portion is included in other
long-term liabilities.

INTEVAC, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
We have entered into agreements with customers and suppliers
that include limited intellectual property indemnification
obligations that are customary in the industry. These guarantees
generally require us to compensate the other party for certain
damages and costs incurred as a result of third party
intellectual property claims arising from these transactions.
The nature of the intellectual property indemnification
obligations prevents us from making a reasonable estimate of the
maximum potential amount we could be required to pay our
customers and suppliers. Historically, we have not made any
significant indemnification payments under such agreements and
no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements with respect to these indemnification
obligations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments in Debt Securities |
Our investment portfolio consists of cash, cash equivalents and
investments in debt securities. We consider all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments in debt securities
consists principally of highly rated debt instruments with
maturities generally between one and 25 months.
In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities, and based on our intentions
regarding these instruments, we have classified our investments
in debt securities as held-to-maturity and account for these
investments at amortized cost. Interest income is recorded using
an effective interest rate, with the associated premium or
discount amortized to interest income. Realized gains and losses
are included in earnings. The table below presents the amortized
principal amount, major security type and maturities for our
investments in debt securities.

New Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised
2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R addresses
all forms of share-based payment (SBP) awards,
including shares issued under certain employee stock purchase
plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation
rights. SFAS 123R will require us to expense SBP awards
with compensation cost for SBP transactions measured at fair
value. Although we are in the process of evaluating the impact
of applying the various provisions of SFAS 123R, we expect
that this statement will have a material impact on our financial
statements. On April 14, 2005, the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission announced a deferral of the effective date
of SFAS 123R until the first interim period beginning after
December 15, 2005.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 107. SAB 107 provides guidance
related to share-based payment transactions with non-employees,
the transition from nonpublic to public entities status,
valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected
volatility and expected term), the accounting for certain
redeemable financial instruments issued under share-based
payment arrangements, the classification of compensation
expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time adoption of
SFAS 123R in an interim period, capitalization of
compensation costs related to share-based payment arrangements,
the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment
arrangements upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the modification
of employee share options prior to the adoption of
SFAS 123R and disclosures

STATEMENTS (Continued)
in Managements Discussion and Analysis subsequent to
adoption of SFAS 123R. We are currently in the process of
assessing the impact of this guidance.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47
(FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations An Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 143, to clarify the requirement to
record liabilities stemming from a legal obligation to clean up
and retire fixed assets, such as a plant or factory, when an
asset retirement depends on a future event. We plan to adopt the
FIN 47 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We do not
expect the application of FIN 47 to have a material effect
on our financial statements.
We have two reportable operating segments: Equipment and
Imaging. Our Equipment business designs, manufactures, markets
and services complex capital equipment used in the sputtering,
or deposition, of highly engineered thin-films of material onto
magnetic disks which are used in hard disk drives. Our Imaging
business develops and manufactures electro-optical sensors,
cameras and systems that permit highly sensitive detection of
photons in the visible and near infrared portions of the
spectrum, allowing vision in extreme low light situations.
Included in corporate activities are general corporate expenses,
less an allocation of corporate expenses to operating units
equal to 3% of net revenues. Assets of corporate activities
include unallocated cash and investments, deferred income tax
assets (which are fully offset by a valuation allowance) and
other assets.
|
|
|
Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets |
We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on a number
of factors including, profit or loss from operations and future
revenue potential. The accounting policies of the reportable
segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies.

We did not accrue a tax benefit for either of the three-month
periods ended April 2, 2005 or March 27, 2004, due to
the inability to realize additional refunds from loss
carry-backs. We recorded $7,000 of income tax expense during the
three-month period ended April 2, 2005 related to a claim
we received from the California Franchise Tax Board for a
portion of the income tax credits we claimed in prior years. The
$12,000 credit to income tax expense during the three-month
period ended March 27, 2004 related to a revised estimate
of 2003 taxes owed by our Singapore subsidiary. Our
$21.3 million deferred tax asset is fully offset by a
$21.3 million valuation allowance, resulting in a net
deferred tax asset of zero at April 2, 2005.
During the three-month period ending April 2, 2005, we sold
stock to our employees under Intevacs Stock Option and
Employee Stock Purchase Plans. A total of 117,486 shares
were issued under these plans, for which Intevac received
$517,000.

Item 2. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements, which involve risks and
uncertainties. Words such as believes,
expects, anticipates and the like
indicate forward-looking statements. These forward looking
statements include comments related to our shipments, projected
revenue recognition, product costs, gross margin, operating
expenses, interest income, cash balances and improved financial
results in 2005; our projected customer requirements for new
capacity and technology upgrades for our installed base of
thin-film disk manufacturing equipment, and when, and if, our
customers will place orders for these products; Imagings
ability to proliferate its technology into major military
weapons programs and to develop and introduce commercial imaging
products; and the timing of delivery and/or acceptance of the
systems and products that comprise our backlog for revenue. Our
actual results may differ materially from the results discussed
in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons,
including those set forth under Certain Factors Which May
Affect Future Operating Results and in other documents we
file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including Intevacs Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed in March 2005, Form 10-Qs and
Form 8-Ks.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (US GAAP) requires
management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that
affect the amounts reported. Our significant accounting policies
are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Certain of these significant accounting policies
are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined
below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both
material to the presentation of our financial statements and
requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex
judgments that could have a material effect on our financial
conditions and results of operations. Specifically, critical
accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) We
are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly
uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different
estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the
estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a
material effect on our financial condition or results of
operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects
cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions believed
to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These
estimates may change as new events occur, as additional
information is obtained and as our operating environment
changes. These changes are included in the consolidated
financial statements as soon as they become known. In addition,
management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the
outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be
known for prolonged periods of time. These uncertainties are
discussed in the section entitled Certain Factors Which
May Affect Future Operating Results. Based on a critical
assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying
judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those
policies, management believes that our consolidated financial
statements are fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP, and
provide a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and
results of operation.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the
more significant judgments and estimates we make in preparing
our consolidated financial statements. We also have other key
accounting policies and accounting estimates related to the
collectibility of trade receivables, valuation of deferred tax
assets and prototype product costs. We believe that these other
accounting policies and other accounting estimates either do not
generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are as
difficult or subjective or would be less likely to have a
material impact on our reported results of operation for a given
period.
Certain of our system sales with customer acceptance provisions
are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements. If we have
previously met defined customer acceptance levels with the
specific type of system,
12
then we recognize revenue for the fair market value of the
system upon shipment and transfer of title, and recognize
revenue for the fair market value of installation and acceptance
services when those services are completed. We estimate the fair
market value of the installation and acceptance services based
on our actual historical experience. For systems that have
generally not been demonstrated to meet product specifications
prior to shipment, revenue recognition is typically deferred
until customer acceptance. For example, while initial shipments
of our 200 Lean system were recognized for revenue upon customer
acceptance during 2004, we expect that 200 Leans will be
generally be recognized for revenue upon shipment during 2005.
In some instances, hardware that is not essential to the
functioning of the system may be delivered after acceptance of
the system. In these cases, we estimate the fair market value of
the non-essential hardware as if it had been sold on a
stand-alone basis, and defer recognizing revenue on that value
until the hardware is delivered.
We perform best efforts research and development work under
various government-sponsored research contracts. These contracts
are a mixture of cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) and firm
fixed-price (FFP). Revenue on CPFF contracts is
recognized in accordance with contract terms, typically as costs
are incurred. Revenue on FFP contracts is generally recognized
on the percentage-of-completion method based on costs incurred
in relation to total estimated costs. Provisions for estimated
losses on government-sponsored research contracts are recorded
in the period in which such losses are determined.
Inventories are priced using standard costs, which approximate
first-in, first-out, and are stated at the lower of cost or
market. The carrying value of inventory is reduced for estimated
excess and obsolescence by the difference between its cost and
the estimated market value based on assumptions about future
demand. We evaluate the inventory carrying value for potential
excess and obsolete inventory exposures by analyzing historical
and anticipated demand. In addition, inventories are evaluated
for potential obsolescence due to the effect of known and
anticipated engineering change orders and new products. If
actual demand were to be substantially lower than estimated,
additional inventory adjustments would be required, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operation. A cost to market reserve is
established for work-in-progress and finished goods inventories
when the value of the inventory plus the estimated cost to
complete exceeds the net realizable value of the inventory.
We provide for the estimated cost of warranty when revenue is
recognized. Our warranty is per contract terms and is typically
12 months from customer acceptance. We also sell extended
warranties beyond 12 months to some customers. We use
estimated repair or replacement costs along with our actual
warranty experience to determine our warranty obligation. We
exercise judgment in determining the underlying estimates.
Should actual warranty costs differ substantially from our
estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would
be required, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Net revenues consist primarily of sales of equipment used to
manufacture magnetic disks, related equipment and system
components, and contract research and development related to the
development of electro-optical sensors, cameras and systems.
The increase in Equipment revenue for the three months ending
April 2, 2005 was the result of the quarter including
customer acceptance of a 200 Lean system for revenue. As of
April 2, 2005, we have orders for eleven 200 Lean systems
and four MDP-250B systems, all of which we expect to ship and
recognize for revenue in fiscal 2005. We expect significant
growth in Equipment revenues in 2005, compared to 2004.
The decrease in Imaging revenues was the result of decreased
revenues from contract research and development. In 2005, we
expect the Imaging business revenue to grow, with increases in
both contract research and development revenue and product
revenue, although we do not expect our Imaging business will be
profitable in 2005.
Our backlog of orders at April 2, 2005 was
$66.0 million, as compared to $10.5 million at
December 31, 2004 and $52.0 million at March 27,
2004. The increase in backlog was primarily the result of orders
for disk manufacturing systems and upgrades, and to a lesser
extent, orders for contract research and development in the
Imaging business. We include in backlog the value of purchase
orders for our products that have scheduled delivery dates. We
do not recognize revenue on this backlog until we have met the
criteria contained in our revenue recognition policy, including
customer acceptance of newly developed systems.
International sales increased by 5% to $3.8 million for the
three months ended April 2, 2005 from $3.6 million for
the three months ended March 27, 2004. The increase in
international sales was due to contract research and development
revenue. International sales constituted 36% of net revenues for
the three months ended April 2, 2005 and 57% of net
revenues for the three months ended March 27, 2004.
International revenues include products shipped to overseas
operations of US companies.

Cost of net revenues consists primarily of purchased materials
and costs attributable to contract research and development, and
also includes fabrication, assembly, test and installation labor
and overhead, customer-specific engineering costs, warranty
costs, royalties, provisions for inventory reserves and scrap.
Equipment gross margin for the three months ended April 2,
2005 was adversely impacted by the establishment of a $510,000
reserve for costs we expect to incur related to obtaining final
customer acceptance of a flat panel manufacturing system shipped
in 2003 and by recognition of revenue on a 200 Lean disk
manufacturing system that was built early in 2004 prior to the
completion of our cost reduction activities. We expect the gross
margin for the Equipment business to improve for the balance of
2005, primarily as a result of cost reduction efforts undertaken
on the 200 Lean system. Gross margins in the Equipment business
will vary depending on a number of factors, including product
cost, system configuration and pricing, factory utilization, and
inventory provisions.
The increase in Imaging gross margin was due primarily to
improved overhead absorption and a reduction in inventory
reserve expense. We expect Imaging gross margin in 2005 to be
improved over 2004, as the cost-sharing portion of our military
head mounted display development program was largely completed
at the end of 2004, and we expect revenue in 2005 will be
derived primarily from fully funded research and development
contracts and, to a lesser extent, from the sale of products.

Research and development expense consists primarily of prototype
materials, salaries and related costs of employees engaged in
ongoing research, design and development activities for disk
manufacturing equipment and Imaging products. We expect that
research and development spending in the remainder of 2005 will
increase over 2004 as a result of increased spending in both
Equipment and Imaging.
Research and development expenses do not include costs of
$1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the
three-month periods ended April 2, 2005 and March 27,
2004 related to Imaging contract research and development. These
expenses are included in cost of net revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily
of selling, marketing, customer support, financial and
management costs and also includes production of customer
samples, travel, liability insurance, legal and professional
services and bad debt expense. Domestic sales and international
sales of disk manufacturing products in the Far East, with the
exception of Japan, are typically made by Intevacs direct
sales force, whereas sales in Japan of disk manufacturing
products and other products are typically made by our Japanese
distributor, Matsubo, who provides services such as sales,
installation, warranty and customer support. We also have a
subsidiary in Singapore to support customers in Southeast Asia.
We are planning to open field offices in China and Japan during
2005.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was
primarily the result of increases in costs related to customer
service and support in the Equipment business and costs for the
audit of our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control efforts. We expect
that selling, general and administrative expenses for the
balance of 2005 will increase over the amount spent in 2004 due
primarily to a projected increase in field offices, headcount,
travel and employee benefit costs.

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our
convertible notes and amortization of debt issuance costs. The
decrease in interest expense was due to the repayment of the
remaining $1.0 million of convertible notes due 2004 in
March 2004. We expect interest expense to remain insignificant
for the remainder of 2005.

Interest income and other, net in both 2005 and 2004 consisted
primarily of interest and dividend income on investments and

in 2005 due to higher interest rates realized on our investments
and we expect early payment discounts to increase as a result of
increased purchases of inventory.

We did not accrue a tax benefit for either of the three-month
periods ended April 2, 2005 or March 27, 2004, due to
the inability to realize additional refunds from loss
carry-backs. We recorded $7,000 of income tax expense during the
three-month period ended April 2, 2005 related to a claim
we received from the California Franchise Tax Board. The $12,000
credit to income tax expense in the three months ended
March 27, 2004 related to a revised estimate of 2003 taxes
owed by our Singapore subsidiary. Our $21.3 million
deferred tax asset is fully offset by a $21.3 million
valuation allowance, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of
zero at April 2, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operating activities in the three months ended April 2,
2005 used cash of $2.1 million. The cash used was due
primarily to the net loss incurred and increases in accounts
receivable and inventory, partially offset by increases in
customer advances and accounts payable. The increases in
receivables, inventories, payables and customer advances all
related to the orders for disk sputtering systems received in
the period. In the three months ended March 27, 2004, our
operating activities used cash of $1.3 million. The cash
used was due primarily to the net loss incurred and increases in
inventory, partially offset by reductions in accounts receivable
and increases in accounts payable and customer advances.
Our investing activities in the three months ended April 2,
2005 provided cash of $4.6 million from the net redemption
of $5.1 million of investments, partially offset by
$425,000 in fixed asset purchases. Investing activities in the
three months ended March 27, 2004 used cash of
$10.5 million due primarily to the purchase of investments.
Our financing activities provided cash of $517,000 in the three
months ended April 2, 2005 as a result of the sale of our
common stock to our employees through our employee benefit
plans. In the three months ended March 27, 2004, our
financing activities provided cash of $41.0 million due
primarily to a public offering of our common stock and, to a
lesser extent, the sale of our common stock through our employee
benefit plans. We retired the remaining $1.0 million of our
convertible notes during the three months ended March 27,
2004.
At April 2, 2005, we had $20.5 million of cash and
cash equivalents and $22.6 million of short-term
investments. We intend to undertake approximately
$5.0 million in capital expenditures during 2005 and we
believe the existing cash, cash equivalent and short-term
investment balances will be sufficient to meet our cash
requirements for the balance of 2005.
We have incurred operating losses each year since 1998 and
cannot predict with certainty when we will return to operating
profitability. We believe an upturn in demand for the type of
disk manufacturing
16
equipment we produce is occurring, and we expect our Equipment
business to be profitable in 2005. We also expect to continue to
be in the investment mode in Imaging during 2005.
Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, we enter into various
contractual obligations that will be settled in cash. These
obligations consist primarily of operating lease and purchase
obligations. The expected future cash flows required to meet
these obligations as of April 2, 2005 are shown in the
table below.

Certain Factors Which May Affect Future Operating Results
|
|
|
Our operating results fluctuate significantly from quarter
to quarter, which may cause the price of our stock to
decline. |
Over the last 9 quarters, our revenues per quarter have
fluctuated between $35.0 million and $4.6 million.
Over the same period our operating income as a percentage of
revenues has fluctuated between approximately 4% and (90%) of
revenues. We anticipate that our revenues and operating margins
will continue to fluctuate. We expect this fluctuation to
continue for a variety of reasons, including:
|
|
|
|
|
delays or problems in the introduction and acceptance of our new
products, or delivery of existing products; |
|
|
|
changes in the demand, due to seasonality and other factors, for
the computer systems, storage subsystems and consumer
electronics containing disks our customers produce with our
systems; and |
|
|
|
announcements of new products, services or technological
innovations by us or our competitors. |
Additionally, because our systems are priced in the millions of
dollars and we sell a relatively small number of systems, our
business is inherently subject to fluctuations in revenue from
quarter to quarter due to factors such as timing of orders,
acceptance of new systems by our customers or cancellation of
those orders. For example, quarterly revenues in our Equipment
business fluctuated between $8.3 million and
$32.6 million in the last four quarters. As a result, we
believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues and
operating results may not be meaningful and that these
comparisons may not be an accurate indicator of our future
performance. Our operating results in one or more future
quarters may fail to meet the expectations of investment
research analysts or investors, which could cause an immediate
and significant decline in the trading price of our common
shares.
|
|
|
We have a recent history of significant losses and may not
regain annual profitability. If we do not establish profitable
operations in the future, then our share price is likely to
decline. |
The majority of our revenues and gross profit have historically
been derived from sales of disk sputtering equipment. Sales of
our disk sputtering equipment were severely depressed from the
middle of 1998 until mid-2003. Also, our Imaging business has
yet to earn an annual profit. We have experienced an operating
loss in each of the last five fiscal years. Our operating loss
in 2004 was $5.2 million, and as of December 31, 2004,
we had an accumulated deficit of $25.7 million. To regain
and sustain profitability, we will need to increase gross
margins and generate and sustain substantially higher revenue
while maintaining reasonable cost and expense levels. We cannot
assure you that we will regain profitability in the near future,
or at all, and if we do regain profitability we cannot assure
you that we will be able to sustain profitability on a
going-forward basis. If we
17
fail to regain profitability within the time frame expected by
securities analysts or investors, then the market price of our
common stock will likely decline.
|
|
|
We are exposed to risks associated with a highly
concentrated customer base. |
Historically, a significant portion of our revenue in any
particular period has been attributable to sales of our magnetic
media sputtering systems to a limited number of customers. In
2004, two of our customers, in the aggregate, accounted for 73%
of our revenues. Orders from a relatively limited number of
magnetic disk manufacturers have accounted for, and likely will
continue to account for, a substantial portion of our revenues.
The loss of, or delays in purchasing by, any one of our large
customers would significantly reduce potential future revenues.
The concentration of our customer base may enable customers to
demand pricing and other terms unfavorable to us. Furthermore,
the concentration of customers can lead to extreme variability
in revenue and financial results from period to period. For
example, during 2004 revenues ranged between $6.5 million
in the first quarter and $34.9 million in the third
quarter. These factors could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
|
|
|
The majority of our future revenue is dependent on new
products. If these new products are not successful, then our
results of operations will be adversely affected. |
We have invested heavily, and continue to invest, in the
development of new products. Our success in developing and
selling new products depends upon a variety of factors,
including our ability to predict future customer requirements
accurately, technological advances, total cost of ownership of
our systems, our introduction of new products on schedule, our
ability to manufacture our systems cost-effectively and the
performance of our systems in the field. Our new product
decisions and development commitments must anticipate
continuously evolving industry requirements significantly in
advance of sales.
Our future revenues depend significantly on the market
acceptance of our 200 Lean disk sputtering system, which was
first delivered in December 2003. Initial builds of the 200 Lean
experienced high production and warranty costs in comparison to
our more established product lines. Although we believe our
margins will improve in the future on our 200 Lean systems, the
timing and amount of such improvements are difficult to predict.
Advanced vacuum manufacturing equipment, such as the 200 Lean,
is subject to extensive customer acceptance tests after
installation at the customers factory. These acceptance
tests are designed to validate reliable operation to
specification in areas such as throughput, vacuum level,
robotics, process performance and software features and
functionality. These tests are generally more comprehensive for
new systems, like the 200 Lean, than for mature systems, such as
the MDP-250, and are designed to highlight problems encountered
with early versions of the equipment. Failure to promptly
address any of the problems uncovered in these tests could have
adverse effects on our business, including rescheduling of
backlog, failure to achieve customer acceptance and therefore
revenue recognition as anticipated, unanticipated rework and
warranty costs, penalties for non-performance, cancellation of
orders, or return of products for credit.
We are making a substantial investment to develop a new
manufacturing system to address markets other than magnetic disk
manufacturing. Failure to correctly assess the size of the new
market, or to successfully develop a product to cost effectively
address the market, or to establish effective sales and support
of the new product would have a material adverse effect on our
future revenues and profits.
Our LIVAR target identification and low light level camera
technologies are designed to offer significantly improved
capability to military customers. We are also developing
commercial products based on the technology we have developed in
our Imaging business. None of our Imaging products is currently
being manufactured in high volume, and we may encounter
unforeseen difficulties when we commence volume production of
these products. Our Imaging business will require substantial
further investment in sales and marketing, in product
development and in additional production facilities in order to
expand our operations. We cannot assure you that we will succeed
in these activities or generate significant sales of these new
products. Failure of any of these products to perform as
intended, to penetrate their markets and develop into profitable
product lines or to achieve their production cost objectives,
would have a material adverse effect on our business.
18
|
|
|
Demand for capital equipment is cyclical, which subjects
our business to long periods of depressed revenues interspersed
with periods of unusually high revenues. |
Our Equipment business sells equipment to capital intensive
industries, which sell commodity products such as disk drives.
When demand for these commodity products exceeds capacity,
demand for new capital equipment such as ours tends to be
amplified. Conversely, when supply of these commodity products
exceeds demand, the demand for new capital equipment such as
ours tends to be depressed. The hard disk drive industry has
historically been subject to multi-year cycles because of the
long lead times and high costs involved in adding capacity, and
to seasonal cycles driven by consumer purchasing patterns, which
tend to be heaviest in the third and fourth quarters of each
year.
The cyclical nature of the capital equipment industry means that
in some years we will have unusually high sales of new systems,
and that in other years our sales of new systems will be
severely depressed. The timing, length and volatility of these
cycles are difficult to predict. These changes have affected the
timing and amounts of our customers capital equipment
purchases and investments in new technology. For example, sales
of systems for magnetic disk production were severely depressed
from the middle of 1998 until mid-2003. In addition, our disk
manufacturing customers are generally more sensitive to the
cyclical nature of the hard disk drive industry, because many of
their customers have internal magnetic disk manufacturing
operations and will cut back their purchases of disks from
outside suppliers first in an industry downturn. If we fail to
anticipate or respond quickly to the industry business cycle, it
could have a material adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
If the projected growth in demand for hard disk drives
does not materialize and our customers do not replace or upgrade
their installed base of disk sputtering systems, then future
sales of our disk sputtering systems will suffer. |
From the middle of 1998 until mid-2003, there was very little
demand for new disk sputtering systems, as magnetic disk
manufacturers were burdened with over-capacity and were not
investing in new disk sputtering equipment. By 2003, however,
over-capacity had diminished, three of our customers announced
plans for major capacity expansions, and we shipped our first
next generation 200 Lean system. In 2004, one of those customers
took delivery of ten new 200 Leans and another of those
customers took delivery of a 200 Lean to evaluate its
capabilities.
Sales of our equipment for capacity expansions are dependent on
the capacity expansion plans of our customers and upon whether
our customers select our equipment for their capacity
expansions. We have no control over our customers
expansion plans, and we cannot assure you that they will select
our equipment if they do expand their capacity. Our customers
may not implement capacity expansion plans, or we may fail to
win orders for equipment for those capacity expansions, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and our
operating results. In addition, some manufacturers may choose to
purchase used systems from other manufacturers or customers
rather than purchasing new systems from us. Furthermore, if hard
disk drives were to be replaced by an alternative technology as
a primary method of digital storage, demand for our products
would decrease.
Sales of our new 200 Lean disk sputtering systems are also
dependent on obsolescence and replacement of the installed base
of disk sputtering equipment. If technological advancements are
developed that extend the useful life of the installed base of
systems, then sales of our 200 Lean will be limited to the
capacity expansion needs of our customers, which would have a
material adverse effect on our operating results.
|
|
|
Recently enacted and proposed changes in securities laws
and regulations will increase our costs. |
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has required changes in some of
our corporate governance, securities disclosure and/or
compliance practices. As part of the Acts requirements,
the Securities and Exchange Commission has promulgated new rules
on a variety of subjects, in addition to other rule proposals,
and the NASDAQ Stock Market has enacted new corporate governance
listing requirements. These developments have and will continue
to increase our accounting and legal compliance costs, and could
also expose us to additional liability.
19
Costs of compliance were significantly larger in 2004 than
originally anticipated, and costs of compliance in future
periods may continue to be unpredictable, which could have an
adverse effect on our financial results. In addition, we were
unable to complete the efforts required in order to comply with
Section 404 in a timely manner in 2004, which impacted our
ability to make a timely filing of our Report on Form 10-K.
There can be no guarantee that we will not face similar issues
in future filings.
In addition, such developments may make retention and
recruitment of qualified persons to serve on our board of
directors or executive management more difficult. We continue to
evaluate and monitor regulatory and legislative developments and
cannot reliably estimate the timing or magnitude of all costs we
may incur as a result of the Act or other related legislation or
regulation.
|
|
|
Our products are complex, constantly evolving and often
must be customized to individual customer requirements. |
The systems we manufacture and sell in our Equipment business
have a large number of components and are highly complex, which
require us to make substantial investments in research and
development. If we were to fail to develop, manufacture and
market new systems or to enhance existing systems, that failure
would have an adverse effect on our business. We may experience
delays and technical and manufacturing difficulties in future
introduction, volume production and acceptance of new systems or
enhancements. In addition, some of the systems that we
manufacture must be customized to meet individual customer site
or operating requirements. In some cases, we market and commit
to deliver new systems, modules and components with advanced
features and capabilities that we are still in the process of
designing. We have limited manufacturing capacity and
engineering resources and may be unable to complete the
development, manufacture and shipment of these products, or to
meet the required technical specifications for these products,
in a timely manner. Failure to deliver these products on time,
or failure to deliver products that perform to all contractually
committed specifications, could have adverse effects on our
business, including rescheduling of backlog, failure to achieve
customer acceptance and therefore revenue recognition as
anticipated, unanticipated rework and warranty costs, penalties
for non-performance, cancellation of orders, or return of
products for credit. In addition, we may incur substantial
unanticipated costs early in a products life cycle, such
as increased engineering, manufacturing, installation and
support costs, that we may be unable to pass on to the customer
and that may affect our gross margins. Sometimes we work closely
with our customers to develop new features and products. In
connection with these transactions, we sometimes offer a period
of exclusivity to these customers. Any of these factors could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
Our sales cycle is long and unpredictable, which requires
us to incur high sales and marketing expenses with no assurance
that a sale will result. |
The sales cycle for our equipment systems can be a year or
longer, involving individuals from many different areas of our
company and numerous product presentations and demonstrations
for our prospective customers. Our sales process for these
systems also includes the production of samples and
customization of products for our prospective customers.
Our Imaging business is also subject to long sales cycles
because many of our products, such as our LIVAR system, often
must be designed into our customers products, which are often
complex state-of-the-art products. These development cycles are
often multi-year and our sales are contingent on our customer
successfully integrating our product into their product,
completing development of their product and then obtaining
production orders for their product.
As a result, we may not recognize revenue from our products for
extended periods of time after we have completed development,
and made initial shipments of, our products, during which time
we may expend substantial funds and management time and effort
with no assurance that a sale will result.

|
|
We operate in an intensely competitive marketplace, and
our competitors have greater resources than we do. |
In the market for our disk sputtering systems, we have
experienced competition from competitors such as Anelva
Corporation, which is a subsidiary of NEC Corporation and Unaxis
Holdings, Ltd, each of which has sold substantial numbers of
systems worldwide. Up to 1998, we also experienced competition
from Ulvac Technologies, Inc. In the market for our Imaging
products, we experience competition from companies such as ITT
Industries, Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corporation, the primary
U.S. manufacturers of Generation-III night vision devices
and their derivative products. Our competitors have
substantially greater financial, technical, marketing,
manufacturing and other resources than we do. We cannot assure
you that our competitors will not develop enhancements to, or
future generations of, competitive products that offer superior
price or performance features. Likewise, we cannot assure you
that new competitors will not enter our markets and develop such
enhanced products. Accordingly, competition for our customers is
intense, and our competitors have historically offered
substantial pricing concessions and incentives to attract our
customers or retain their existing customers.
|
|
|
Our Imaging business depends heavily on government
contracts, which are subject to immediate termination and are
funded in increments. The termination of or failure to fund one
or more of these contracts could have a negative impact on our
operations. |
We sell many of our Imaging products and services directly to
the U.S. government, as well as to prime contractors for
various U.S. government programs. Generally, government
contracts are subject to oversight audits by government
representatives and contain provisions permitting termination,
in whole or in part, without prior notice at the
governments convenience upon the payment of compensation
only for work done and commitments made at the time of
termination. We cannot assure you that one or more of the
government contracts under which we or our customers operate
will not be terminated under these circumstances. Also, we
cannot assure you that we or our customers would be able to
procure new government contracts to offset the revenues lost as
a result of any termination of existing contracts, nor can we
assure you that we or our customers will continue to remain in
good standing as federal contractors. The loss of one or more
government contracts by us or our customers could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results.
Furthermore, the funding of multi-year government programs is
subject to congressional appropriations, and there is no
guarantee that the U.S. government will make further
appropriations. The loss of funding for a government program
would result in a loss of anticipated future revenues
attributable to that program. That could increase our overall
costs of doing business and have a material adverse effect on
our operating results.
In addition, sales to the U.S. government and its prime
contractors may be affected by changes in procurement policies,
budget considerations and political developments in the United
States or abroad. The influence of any of these factors, which
are beyond our control, could also negatively impact our
financial condition. We also may experience problems associated
with advanced designs required by the government which may
result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost
overruns. Failure to overcome these technological difficulties
and the occurrence of cost overruns would have a material
adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
We may not be successful in maintaining and obtaining the
necessary export licenses to conduct operations abroad, and the
United States government may prevent proposed sales to foreign
customers. |
Many of our Imaging products require export licenses from United
States Government agencies under the Export Administration Act,
the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, the Arms Export Act of
1976 and the International Trading in Arms Regulations
(ITAR). We can give no assurance that we will be
successful in obtaining all the licenses necessary to export our
products. Export to countries which are not considered by the
United States Government to be allies is also likely to be
prohibited. This limits the potential market for our products.
Failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, or revocation of
previously issued licenses would prevent us from selling our
products outside the United States, may subject us to fines or
other
21
penalties, and would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
|
|
|
Our sales of disk sputtering systems are dependent on
substantial capital investment by our customers, far in excess
of the cost of our products. |
Our customers must make extremely large capital expenditures in
order to purchase our systems and other related equipment and
facilities. These costs are far in excess of the cost of our
systems alone. The magnitude of such capital expenditures
requires that our customers have access to large amounts of
capital and that they be willing to invest that capital over
long periods of time to be able to purchase our equipment. The
magnetic disk manufacturing industry has not made significant
additions to its production capacity until recently. Some of our
potential customers may not be willing or able to make the
magnitude of capital investment required, especially during a
downturn in either the overall economy or the hard disk drive
industry.
|
|
|
Our stock price is volatile. |
The market price and trading volume of our common stock has been
subject to significant volatility, and this trend may continue.
Over the past 12 months, the closing price of our common
stock, as traded on The Nasdaq National Market, fluctuated from
a low of $3.92 to a high of $11.39 per share. The value of
our common stock may decline regardless of our operating
performance or prospects. Factors affecting our market price
include:
|
|
|
|
|
our perceived prospects; |
|
|
|
variations in our operating results and whether we achieve our
key business targets; |
|
|
|
sales or purchases of large blocks of our stock; |
|
|
|
changes in, or our failure to meet, our revenue and earnings
estimates; |
|
|
|
changes in securities analysts buy or sell recommendations; |
|
|
|
differences between our reported results and those expected by
investors and securities analysts; |
|
|
|
announcements of new contracts, products or technological
innovations by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic
investments announced by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
our high fixed operating expenses, including research and
development expenses; |
|
|
|
developments in the financial markets; and |
|
|
|
general economic, political or stock market conditions in the
United States and other major regions in which we do business. |
Recent events have caused stock prices for many companies,
including ours, to fluctuate in ways unrelated or
disproportionate to their operating performance. The general
economic, political and stock market conditions that may affect
the market price of our common stock are beyond our control. The
market price of our common stock at any particular time may not
remain the market price in the future. In the past, securities
class action litigation has been instituted against companies
following periods of volatility in the market price of their
securities. Any such litigation, if instituted against us, could
result in substantial costs and a diversion of managements
attention and resources.
|
|
|
Changes in existing financial accounting standards or
practices or taxation rules or practices may adversely affect
our results of operations. |
Changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices,
new accounting pronouncements or taxation rules, or varying
interpretations of current accounting pronouncements or taxation
practice could have a
22
significant adverse effect on our results of operations or the
manner in which we conduct our business. Further, such changes
could potentially affect our reporting of transactions completed
before such changes are effective. For example, we currently are
not required to record stock-based compensation charges to
earnings in connection with stock options grants to our
employees. However, Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) 123R, Stock-Based Payments will require
us to record stock-based compensation charges to earnings for
employee stock option grants commencing in the first quarter of
2006. Such charges will negatively impact our earnings.
|
|
|
We are required to evaluate our internal control over
financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could
result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports
and have an adverse effect on our stock price. |
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(Section 404), we are required to furnish a report by our
management on our internal control over financial reporting.
Such report contains, among other matters, an assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to
whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is
effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting identified by management. The report must also contain
a statement that our auditors have issued an attestation report
on managements assessment of our internal controls.
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) provides a framework for companies to
assess and improve their internal control systems. Auditing
Standard No. 2 provides the professional standards and
related performance guidance for auditors to attest to, and
report on, managements assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting under
Section 404. Managements assessment of internal
controls over financial reporting requires management to make
subjective judgments, and, particularly because Section 404
and Auditing Standard No. 2 are newly effective, some of
the judgments will be in areas that may be open to
interpretation. Therefore the report is especially difficult to
prepare.
We were not able to assert, in our management certifications
filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, that our
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2004, as our management identified three
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting. This or any future inability to assert that our
internal controls over financial reporting are effective for any
given reporting period (or if our auditors are unable to attest
that our managements report is fairly stated or if they
are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our
internal controls), could cause us to lose investor confidence
in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which
could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Our future success depends
on international sales and the management of global
operations
International sales accounted for 68% of total revenues in 2004.
We expect that international sales will continue to account for
a significant portion of our total revenue in future years. We
are subject to various challenges related to the management of
global operations, and international sales are subject to risks
including, but not limited to regional economic and political
conditions, challenges in staffing and managing foreign
operations, changes in currency controls, potentially adverse
tax consequences, difference in enforcement of intellectual
property rights and fluctuation in interest and currency
exchange rates. Any of these factors could have a material
adverse effect on our business and operating results.
|
|
|
Our dependence on suppliers for certain parts, some of
them sole-sourced, makes us vulnerable to manufacturing
interruptions and delays, which could affect our ability to meet
customer demand. |
We are a manufacturing business. Purchased parts constitute the
largest component of our product cost. Our ability to
manufacture depends on the timely delivery of parts, components,
and subassemblies from suppliers. We obtain some of the key
components and sub-assemblies used in our products from a single
supplier or a limited group of suppliers. If any of our
suppliers fail to deliver quality parts on a timely basis, we
may experience delays in manufacturing, which could result in
delayed product deliveries or increased costs to
23
expedite deliveries or develop alternative suppliers.
Development of alternative suppliers could require redesign of
our products. Any or all of these factors could have a material
adverse effect on our business and operating results.
|
|
|
Our business depends on the integrity of our intellectual
property rights. |
The success of our business depends upon integrity of our
intellectual property rights and we cannot assure you that:
|
|
|
|
|
any of our pending or future patent applications will be allowed
or that any of the allowed applications will be issued as
patents; |
|
|
|
any of our patents will not be invalidated, deemed
unenforceable, circumvented or challenged; |
|
|
|
the rights granted under our patents will provide competitive
advantages to us; |
|
|
|
any of our pending or future patent applications will issue with
claims of the scope that we sought, if at all; |
|
|
|
other parties will not develop similar products, duplicate our
products or design around our patents; or |
|
|
|
our patent rights, intellectual property laws or our agreements
will adequately protect our intellectual property or competitive
position. |
|
|
|
Failure to protect our intellectual property rights
adequately could have a material adverse effect on our
business. |
We provide products that are expected to have long useful lives
and that are critical to our customers operations. From
time to time, as part of business agreements, we place portions
of our intellectual property into escrow to provide assurance to
our customers that our technology will be available to them in
the event that we are unable to support them at some point in
the future.
From time to time, we have received claims that we are
infringing third parties intellectual property rights. We
cannot assure you that third parties will not in the future
claim that we have infringed current or future patents,
trademarks or other proprietary rights relating to our products.
Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming,
result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or
require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such
royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to us. Any of the foregoing could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
Our business is based in Northern California, where
operating costs are high and competition for employees is
intense. |
Our U.S. operations are located in Santa Clara,
California and Fremont, California, where the cost of doing
business and recruiting employees is high. Failure to manage
these costs well could have a material adverse effect on our
operating results. Additionally, our operating results depend,
in large part, upon our ability to retain and attract qualified
management, engineering, marketing, manufacturing, customer
support, sales and administrative personnel. Furthermore, we
compete with similar industries, such as the semiconductor
industry, for the same pool of skilled employees. Failure to
attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
Business interruptions, such as earthquakes or other
natural or man-made disasters, could disrupt our operations and
adversely affect our business. |
Our operations are vulnerable to interruption by fire,
earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, unauthorized
intrusion and other catastrophic events beyond our control. Our
contingency plans for addressing these kinds of events may not
be sufficient to prevent system failures and other interruptions
in our operations that have a material adverse effect on our
business. Additionally, our suppliers suffering similar
business interruptions could have an adverse effect on our
manufacturing ability. If any natural or man-made disasters
24
do occur, our operations could be disrupted for prolonged
periods, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
|
|
|
Changes in demand caused by fluctuations in interest and
currency exchange rates may reduce our international
sales. |
Sales and operating activities outside of the United States are
subject to inherent risks, including fluctuations in the value
of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, tariffs,
quotas, taxes and other market barriers, political and economic
instability, restrictions on the export or import of technology,
potentially limited intellectual property protection,
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations
and potentially adverse tax consequences. We earn a significant
portion of our revenue from international sales, and there can
be no assurance that any of these factors will not have an
adverse effect on our ability to sell our products or operate
outside the United States.
We currently quote and sell the majority of our products in
U.S. dollars. From time to time, we may enter into foreign
currency contracts in an effort to reduce the overall risk of
currency fluctuations to our business. However, there can be no
assurance that the offer and sale of products denominated in
foreign currencies, and the related foreign currency hedging
activities, will not adversely affect our business.
Our principal competitor for disk sputtering equipment is based
in Japan and has a cost structure based on the Japanese yen.
Accordingly, currency fluctuations could cause the price of our
products to be more or less competitive than our principal
competitors products. Currency fluctuations will decrease
or increase our cost structure relative to those of our
competitors, which could lessen the demand for our products and
affect our competitive position.
|
|
|
We routinely evaluate acquisition candidates and other
diversification strategies. |
We have completed a number of acquisitions as part of our
efforts to expand and diversify our business. For example, our
business was initially acquired from Varian Associates in 1991.
We acquired our gravity lubrication and rapid thermal processing
product lines in two acquisitions. We sold the rapid thermal
processing product line in November 2002. We also acquired our
RPC electron beam processing business in late 1997, and
subsequently closed this business. We intend to continue to
evaluate new acquisition candidates, divestiture and
diversification strategies. Any acquisition involves numerous
risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the
acquired companys employees, operations and products,
uncertainties associated with operating in new markets and
working with new customers, and the potential loss of the
acquired companys key employees. Additionally,
unanticipated expenses, difficulties and consequences may be
incurred relating to the integration of technologies, research
and development, and administrative and other functions. Any
future acquisitions may also result in potentially dilutive
issuance of equity securities, acquisition- or
divestiture-related write-offs or the assumption of debt and
contingent liabilities. Any of the above factors could have a
material adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
We use hazardous materials and are subject to risks of
non-compliance with environmental and safety regulations. |
We are subject to a variety of governmental regulations relating
to the use, storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation,
manufacture, treatment and disposal of toxic or otherwise
hazardous substances, chemicals, materials or waste. If we fail
to comply with current or future regulations, such failure could
result in suspension of our operations, alteration of our
manufacturing process, or substantial civil penalties or
criminal fines against us or our officers, directors or
employees. Additionally, these regulations could require us to
acquire expensive remediation or abatement equipment or to incur
substantial expenses to comply with them. Failure to properly
manage the use, disposal or storage of, or adequately restrict
the release of, hazardous or toxic substances could subject us
to significant liabilities.
25
|
|
|
Future sales of shares of our common stock by our
officers, directors and affiliates could cause our stock price
to decline. |
Substantially all of our common stock may be sold without
restriction in the public markets. Shares held by our directors,
executive officers and affiliates are subject to volume and
manner of sale restrictions, and as otherwise described in the
following sentence. We have an agreement with Foster City LLC
and Redemco LLC that gives Foster City and Redemco the right to
require us to file a registration statement on Form S-3,
registering the resale of all shares of our common stock held by
Foster City and Redemco. In May 2005, Redemco LLC exercised such
right and we are currently in the process of filing a
registration statement to cover such shares. Sales of a
substantial number of shares of common stock in the public
market or the perception that these sales could occur could
materially and adversely affect our stock price and make it more
difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a
time and price we deem appropriate.
|
|
|
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and
under California law could prevent or delay a change in control,
which could negatively impact the value of our common stock by
discouraging a favorable merger or acquisition of us. |
Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors
to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to
determine the powers, preferences, privileges, rights, including
voting rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of
those shares, without any further vote or action by the
shareholders. The rights of the holders of our common stock will
be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of
the holders of any preferred stock that we may issue in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of
delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control and could
adversely affect the voting power of your shares. In addition,
provisions of California law could make it more difficult for a
third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting
stock by discouraging a hostile bid, or delaying or deterring a
merger, acquisition or tender offer in which our shareholders
could receive a premium for their shares or a proxy contest for
control of our company or other changes in our management.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
Interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for
changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment
portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our
investment portfolio. We place our investments with high quality
credit issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit
exposure to any one issuer. Short-term investments typically
consist of investments in commercial paper and market auction
rate bonds.
The table below presents principal amounts and related
weighted-average interest rates by year of maturity for our

Foreign exchange risk. From time to time, we enter into
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to economically
hedge certain of our anticipated foreign currency transaction,
translation and re-measurement exposures. The objective of these
contracts is to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange
rate movements on our operating results. At April 2, 2005,
we had no foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We
maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information relating to Intevac, Inc.
required to be disclosed in periodic filings under Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported in a timely manner under the Exchange
Act. In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended April 2, 2005, as required under
Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
April 2, 2005 as a result of the three material weaknesses
reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, and discussed below.
Changes in internal controls. In our Managements
Report over Internal Controls, which was contained in our
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2004, we reported three material weaknesses and the steps we
proposed taking to remediate such weaknesses. As of
December 31, 2004, we concluded that we did not maintain
effective controls over (1) aspects of the Imaging
Business, (2) approval of inventory cycle count
adjustments, and (3) documentation related to our quarterly
review and approval of excess and obsolete inventory reserves.
In the first quarter of 2005, we began efforts to remediate the
material weaknesses. Specifically, our evaluation and
remediation efforts were as follows:
|
|
|
Imaging Business We determined during the
course of our year-end audit that projected, rather than
approved, billing rates were used to calculate revenue for
cost-plus-fixed-fee technology development contracts. In
addition, journal entries for revenue recognition and the
related documentation were not subjected to adequate review and
approval. |
|
|
We also determined during the course of our year-end audit that
firm fixed-price technology development contracts were not being
accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP for firm
fixed-price contracts. This would have resulted in an
overstatement of revenue and operating profit had it not been
discovered prior to the public release of our 2004 earnings. |
|
|
We determined during the course of our year-end audit that a
receivable greater than one year old had not been reserved as a
bad debt. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we implemented a
bad debt policy that required receivables aged more than one
year to be fully reserved. Our review did not include unbilled
receivables and we did not establish the appropriate bad debt
reserve. This would have resulted in an understatement of bad
debt expense and an overstatement of operating profit had it not
been discovered prior to the public release of our earnings. |
|
|
To begin remediation of this material weakness, during the first
quarter of 2005, we retrained our accounting staff in proper
application of revenue recognition policies and implemented
policies regarding analyzing contracts for proper revenue
recognition accounting. We also changed our process for
evaluating accounts receivable to ensure that all balances are
reviewed for collectibility on a regular basis. During the
second quarter of 2005, we will continue to test the new
controls. |
|
|
Approval of Inventory Cycle Count Adjustments
We routinely cycle count our stockroom inventories and make
corrections to our inventory balances as a result of those cycle
counts. We determined late in 2004 that the cycle count
adjustments were being made, but without written approval by
management as required by our internal control policies.
Management authorization of cycle count adjustments is necessary
to reduce the potential of an employee using a cycle count
adjustment to conceal a theft of inventory. |
27
|
|
|
To remediate this material weakness, the requirement for the
appropriate management approval of all cycle count adjustments
was re-emphasized in December of 2004. During the first quarter
of 2005, we tested a significant sample of the cycle count
adjustments and found them to be properly approved. We believe
that this material weakness has been remediated. |
|
|
Documentation of Excess and Obsolete Inventory Reserve
Calculation Review and Approval We determine, on
a quarterly basis, the level of reserves required related to
excess and obsolete inventory. Excess and obsolete inventory
reserves are an estimate, which requires significant judgment on
the part of management. Our Chief Financial Officer reviews and
approves these estimates on a quarterly basis. Given the
significant nature of the estimate, we determined during the
course of our internal controls evaluation that improved
documentation of those reviews was needed. |
|
|
To begin remediation of this material weakness, we have
documented the management review of the quarterly excess and
obsolete calculations in each of the last two quarters. During
the second quarter of 2005, we will continue to test the new
controls. The calculations surrounding the excess and obsolete
requirements are complex, and the reviews required will be
modified as additional risk areas are identified. |
Except as discussed above, there was no change in our internal
controls over financial reporting which was identified in
connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13(a)-15(d)
of the Exchange Act that occurred during our first quarter ended
April 2, 2005 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls
over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
From time to time, we are involved in claims and legal
proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We
expect that the number and significance of these matters will
increase as our business expands. Any claims or proceedings
against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming,
result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of
management time, result in the diversion of significant
operational resources, or require us to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements which, if required, may not be available on
terms favorable to us or at all. We are not presently party to
any lawsuit or proceeding that, in our opinion, is likely to
seriously harm our business.
