Other expenses include the year to date adjustment of the anticipated recovery of the related party note receivable of $0.7 million. Exchange rate gain was $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Miscellaneous expenses were $0.4 million this period as compared to $0.9 million in the same period a year ago. Interest income was up $0.2 million over the same period a year ago.

The Company's Korean subsidiary successfully completed its initial public offering on the KOSDAQ exchange in September 2002 and raised approximately $12 million. The subsidiary management has also been successful in minimizing the previously reported trend to more strenuous credit terms. Given the above coupled with the favorable banking relationships we believe the Company has the necessary funding for future growth of its current products and the development of new proprietary products of the future.

The Company had working capital of $15.2 million at September 30, 2002 as compared to $8.7 million at September 30, 2001.

Net cash used in operating activities was $20.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared with $1.8 million generated in the same period a year ago. Cash was used primarily to fund increased accounts receivable by $10.4 million and build inventories by $41.5 million. The increase in inventory was to meet seasonal demand for the product. Other uses included funding net losses of $1.0 million, decreases in accrued liabilities of $1.0 million, other prepaids and other assets totaling $0.6 million. Cash generated by operating activities was primarily due to the increase in supplier credit totaling $30.6 million and increase in other payable of $0.5 million. Other sources were non-cash charges of $3.2 million which included the write down of a note receivable from related party of $0.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million, issuance of common stock for services provided of $0.2 million, and minority interest of $0.3 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $1.7 million in the like period a year ago. The monies were used primarily to acquire property and equipment for use in our Asian operations of $2.5 million and loans to employees of $1.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $30.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The cash provided by financing activities in this period consisted primarily of $11.8 million in proceeds from sale of subsidiary stock and $19.0 million in proceeds from a line of credit.

In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-Q, we have identified the following risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Form 10-Q.

Our recent growth rate may not be sustainable and you should not use our past financial performance to predict future operating results. In addition to the losses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we have incurred substantial net losses in the past, as recently as, among others, fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Our recent quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated, and will continue to fluctuate, due to the following factors, all of which are difficult to forecast and many of which are not within our control:

• the availability, timely delivery and cost of components from our suppliers;
• competitive pressures and related changes in selling prices;
• fluctuations in manufacturing yields and significant yield losses which affect our ability to fulfill orders;
• new product announcements and introductions for competing products by us or our competitors;
• the rate at which our products become obsolete;
• unpredictability of changes in demand for, or in the mix of, our products;
• the gain or loss of significant customers;
• market acceptance of products utilizing our technologies;
• changes in the channels through which our products are distributed and the timeliness of receipt of distributor resale information;
• exchange rate fluctuations;
• general economic, political and environmental-related conditions, such as natural disasters;
• difficulties in forecasting, planning and management of inventory levels, which may trigger lower of cost or market inventory adjustments;
• unanticipated research and development expenses associated with new product introductions;
• the timing of significant orders and of license and royalty revenue; and
• the seasonality in our business.

A downturn in the market for consumer products such as personal computers and DVD players that incorporate our products can also harm our operating results. In addition, some of our customers may place orders at or near the end of a quarter. As a result, we may not learn of revenue shortfalls until late in a quarter and may not be able to predict future revenues with accuracy. Additionally, a large portion of our costs consists of salaries for personnel and materials that must be ordered several months in advance. These costs are based in part on our expectations for future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, any revenue shortfall below expectations could harm our business.

Since our inception, we have periodically experienced negative cash flow from operations and could experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. Our current and future capital requirements are substantial and we cannot be certain that cash generated from operations will be sufficient or that financing will be available at favorable terms when required, or at all. If our capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we may not meet our financial obligations to our creditors when they become due or we may have to curtail or cease certain operations.

We currently buy certain key components, including optical pick-ups, motors, central processing units and certain other integrated circuits from a limited number of suppliers. We anticipate that these suppliers will manufacture sufficient quantities of these key components to meet our production requirements. If these suppliers fail to satisfy our requirements on a timely basis and at competitive prices, we could suffer manufacturing delays, a possible loss of revenues or higher than anticipated costs of revenues, any of which could seriously harm our operating results. Any constraints on worldwide manufacturing capacity of these key components may affect our ability to obtain adequate supplies from these manufacturers. In certain instances, we have failed to meet the demand for our products or the scheduled shipment dates due to our inability to obtain a sufficient supply of certain key components from our suppliers. The suppliers with which we currently have arrangements, together with any additional supplier at which capacity might be obtained, may not be willing or able to satisfy all of our manufacturing requirements on a timely basis at favorable prices. In addition, we have encountered delays in qualifying new products and in ramping new product production and could experience these delays in the future. We are also subject to the risks of service disruptions, raw material shortages and price increases by the suppliers. Such disruptions, shortages and price increases could seriously harm our operating results.

Notwithstanding our recent expansion efforts, in order to grow, we need to increase our present manufacturing capacity. Events that we have not foreseen could arise which would limit our capacity. In addition, if we cannot satisfactorily increase our manufacturing capacity, our ability to grow will be severely impaired and this may harm our operating results.

To obtain additional manufacturing capacity, we may be required to make deposits, equipment purchases, loans, joint ventures, equity investments or technology licenses in or with other companies. These transactions could involve a commitment of substantial amounts of our capital and technology licenses in return for production capacity. We may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing if we need substantial capital in order to secure this capacity and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The fabrication of our products requires certain components produced in a highly controlled and clean environment. Companies that supply our components sometimes have experienced problems achieving acceptable manufacturing yields. Low yields may result from marginal design or manufacturing process drift. Yield problems may not be identified until the components are well into the production process, which often makes them difficult, time consuming and costly to correct. Furthermore, we rely on overseas suppliers of certain key components, which increases the effort and time required to identify, communicate and resolve manufacturing yield problems. If our suppliers fail to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields, we will experience higher costs of revenues and reduced product availability, which would harm our operating results.

Our products' requirements may represent a small portion of the total production of the suppliers that manufacture our components. As a result, we are subject to the risk that a supplier may cease production on an older or lower-volume manufacturing process that it uses to produce our parts. Additionally, we cannot be certain our suppliers will continue to devote resources to advance the production technologies on which the manufacturing of our parts is based. Each of these events could increase our costs and harm our ability to deliver our products on time.

We depend on independent subcontractors to assemble and test our components or products. Despite the direct supervision by our staff stationed at our primary production site, our reliance on these subcontractors involves the following significant risks:

• reduced control over delivery schedules and quality;
• the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of strong demand for such subcontractors' services;
• difficulties selecting and integrating new subcontractors;
• limited warranties on products supplied to us;
• potential increases in prices due to capacity shortages and other factors; and
• potential misappropriation of our intellectual property.

These risks may lead to increased costs, delayed product delivery or loss of competitive advantage, which would harm our profitability and customer relationships.

During the last three years, a substantial amount of revenues have been generated by the DVD product line, which is central to our growth strategy. The market for this line of products has experienced intense competition and is highly price sensitive. The average unit selling price for our DVD loader products has decreased and we expect it to continue to decrease in the foreseeable future. Unless we obtain an equally reduced cost of revenues, our gross margins will continue to decline. Successful development and commercialization of new products is essential to our growth and future profitability. While we are currently developing and introducing new products in this product line, we cannot assure you that these products will reach the market in a timely manner, satisfactorily address customer needs, be sold in high volume, or be sold at profitable margins.

Our operating expenses are relatively fixed, and we therefore have limited ability to reduce expenses quickly in response to any revenue shortfalls. Consequently, our operating results will be harmed if our revenues do not meet our revenue projections. We may experience revenue shortfalls for the following reasons:

• significant pricing pressures that occur due to competition, over-supply, or other reasons;
• sudden shortages of raw materials or fabrication, test or assembly capacity constraints that lead our suppliers to allocate available supplies or capacity to other customers which, in turn, harm our ability to meet our sales obligations; and
• the reduction, rescheduling or cancellation of customer orders.

In addition, we typically plan our production and inventory levels based on customers' advance orders, commitments or forecasts, as well as our internal assessment and forecasts of customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially, especially if competition becomes more intense or the demand is reduced due to seasonal or other factors. From time to time, in response to anticipated long lead times to obtain inventory and materials from our suppliers, we may order materials in advance of anticipated customer demand. This advance ordering may result in excess inventory levels or unanticipated inventory write-downs if expected orders fail to materialize.

It usually requires a number of months to realize volume shipments after we first contact a customer. We first work with customers to achieve a design win, which may take months or longer. Our customers then complete the design, testing and evaluation process and begin to ramp up production, over a period which typically lasts months or longer. As a result, a significant period of time may elapse between the time we incur expenses from our research and development efforts and our realization of revenue, if any, from volume purchasing of our products by our customers.

We compete with major international electronics companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we do. Many of our competitors have their own facilities for the production of semiconductor components and have been active in increasing their market shares and their capacity for the production of competing products. Our DVD products presently account for substantially all of our revenues. Our competitors or potential competitors include Hitachi, Toshiba, Sony, Pioneer, Teac, Sanyo, Samsung, Philips, LG, and many others. Some of the competitors or potential competitors are also suppliers for the key components of some of our models. In these cases, our competitors may have divisions making competing DVD products that have access to some of our proprietary information through the divisions supplying components to us, or exert influence on the parts supplying divisions in ways that may adversely affect our parts supply. These actions would adversely affect our competitiveness and sales. Competition may also come from alternative technologies being developed by these companies.

The markets for our products are characterized by:

• rapidly changing technologies;
• evolving and competing industry standards;
• changing customer needs;
• frequent new product introductions and enhancements;
• increased integration with other functions; and
• rapid product obsolescence.

To develop new products for our target markets, we must develop, gain access to and use leading technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner and continue to expand our technical and design expertise. In addition, we must have our products designed into our customers' future products and maintain close working relationships with key customers in order to develop new products that meet their changing needs. In addition, DVD products involve continually evolving industry standards. Our ability to compete will depend on our ability to identify and ensure compliance with these industry standards. As a result, we could be required to invest significant time and effort and incur significant expense to redesign our products and ensure compliance with relevant standards. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify new product opportunities successfully, develop and bring to market new products, achieve design wins or respond effectively to new technological changes or product announcements by our competitors. In addition, we may not be successful in developing or using new technologies or in developing new products or product enhancements that achieve market acceptance. Our pursuit of necessary technological advances may require substantial time and expense. Failure in any of these areas could harm our operating results.

We are highly dependent on our principal management and engineering staff. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in our industry, in particular the highly skilled technical personnel involved in the development of DVD technologies and the production of DVD products. Competition is especially intense in Silicon Valley, where our corporate headquarters are located, and in South Korea, where our DVD products have been designed and where most of our manufacturing takes place. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain engineers or other qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business or to replace engineers or other qualified personnel who may leave our employ in the future. Our anticipated growth is expected to place increased demands on our resources and will likely require the addition of new management and engineering personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing management personnel. The failure to recruit and retain key technical and management personnel could harm our business.

We rely on a combination of patent, trade secrets, copyright and mask work production laws and rights, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our products, however, is difficult, especially in foreign countries, such as China and South Korea. Litigation may continue to be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could harm our business, operating results and financial condition regardless of the outcome of the litigation. We have acquired ownership or license to a number of patents or patent applications related to our products. However, we cannot assure you that any pending patent application will be granted, or that such patents will provide adequate protection for our intellectual property. Since our competitors may design around our patents or otherwise independently develop competing technology, our operating results would be seriously harmed by the failure to protect our intellectual property.

Third parties may assert that our products infringe their proprietary rights, or may assert claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims against us. Any such claims may cause us to delay or cancel shipment of our products or pay damages, which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we could incur significant costs in defending against such claims. In addition, we receive from time to time letters or communications from other companies stating that such companies have patent rights relating to our products. Any legal finding that we infringe the patent of another company would have a significantly negative effect on our operating results. Furthermore, if such a finding were made, there can be no assurance that we could license the other company's technology on commercially reasonable terms or that we could successfully operate without such technology. Moreover, if we are found to infringe, we could be required to pay damages to the owner of the protected technology and could be prohibited from making, using or selling any products that infringe the protected technology. In addition, the management attention consumed by and legal cost associated with any litigation could have a negative effect on our operating results. During the course of lawsuits there may be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, and other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial negative effect on the trading price of our stock. Whether or not we are successful in any litigation, we expect the litigation to consume substantial amounts of our financial and managerial resources. Further, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with this type of litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure.

As our business has grown, we have become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Because of the recent economic slowdown in the United States, many industries are delaying or reducing technology purchases. The impact of this slowdown on us is difficult to predict, but it may result in reductions in purchases of products by our end-user customers, longer sales cycles and increased price competition. As a result, if the current economic slowdown continues or worsens, we may fall short of our revenue expectations for any given quarter in 2002 or for the entire year.

Sales of products overseas accounted for 90.8%, 99.7%, 99.8% and 97.2% of our revenues in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Our international business activities are subject to a number of risks, each of which could impose unexpected costs on us that would have an adverse effect on our operating results. These risks include:

• difficulties in complying with regulatory requirements and standards;
• tariffs and other trade barriers;
• costs and risks of localizing products for foreign countries;
• reliance on third parties to distribute our products;
• longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
• potentially adverse tax consequences;
• limits on repatriation of earnings; and
• burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.

We derived most of our product revenue from Asia during the last three years. We expect that this will continue in the remainder of 2002. Additionally, our major suppliers and assembly subcontractors are all located in Asia. Any kind of economic, political or environmental instability in this region of the world can have a severe negative impact on our operating results due to the large concentration of our production and sales activities in this region. For example, during 1997 and 1998, several Asian countries where we currently do business, such as Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, experienced severe currency fluctuation and economic deflation. If such situations reoccur, it may negatively impact our total revenues and our ability to collect payments from customers in these regions. During such situations, the lack of capital in the financial sectors of these countries can make it difficult for our customers to open letters of credit or other financial instruments that are guaranteed by foreign banks. Finally, the economic situation during such periods may exacerbate a decline in selling prices for our products as our competitors may reduce product prices to generate needed cash.

In addition, we are greatly impacted by the political, economic and military conditions in Taiwan and China, and North Korea and South Korea, which are continuously engaged in political disputes. These countries have recently conducted military exercises in or near the other's territorial waters and airspace. Such disputes may continue and even escalate, resulting in an economic embargo, a disruption in shipping or even military hostilities. This could severely harm our business by interrupting or delaying production or shipment of our products. Any kind of activity of this nature or even rumors of such activity could severely negatively impact our operations, revenues, operating results, and stock price.

Products sold to our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 39 % of our revenues during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. Products sold to our top 10 customers accounted for approximately 80%, 75% and 88% of our revenues during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, respectively. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, one customer accounted for 14% of our revenue. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, one customer accounted for about 36% of our revenue. In the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, one customer accounted for about 29% of our revenue and another customer accounted for about 14% of our revenue. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, one customer accounted for about 37% of our revenue. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during these three periods. If we were to lose any of these customers or experience any substantial reduction in orders from these customers, our revenues and operating results would suffer.

We do not typically enter into long-term contracts with our customers, and we cannot be certain as to future order levels from our customers. When we do enter into a long-term contract, the contract is generally terminable at the convenience of the customer. An early termination by one of our major customers would harm our financial results, as it is unlikely that we would be able to rapidly replace that revenue source.

Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period. A reduction of backlog during any particular period, or the failure of our backlog to result in future revenue, could harm our business.

Our operations are vulnerable to interruptions by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure and other events beyond our control. We do not have a detailed disaster recovery plan. Our facilities in Northern California may be subject to electrical blackouts as a consequence of a shortage of available electrical power. In the event these blackouts occur, continue or increase in severity, they could disrupt the operations of our affected facilities. In connection with the shortage of available power, prices for electricity have risen dramatically, and may continue to increase for the foreseeable future. Such price changes will increase our operating costs, which could in turn hurt our profitability. In addition, we do not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur, and any losses or damages incurred by us could harm our business.

To permit the growth of our business operations in the future, we need to expand our production capacity and bring new products to market, which will likely require significant working capital. To date we have established credit facilities with certain Korean banks with a total borrowing limit of about $23 million as of December 31, 2001 and about $25 million payment guarantees for letters of credit. We have also formed alliances with state-run businesses in China, which have committed to substantial amounts of trade credit and financing for production in China under certain terms. However, there is no assurance that these credit facilities will always be available. We may also need to sell shares of our common stock or seek additional borrowings or outside capital infusions in the future. We cannot assure you that such financing options will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and at the time and place that we need them. In addition, if we issue shares of our common stock, our shareholders will experience dilution with respect to their investment.

We rely on manufacturers' representatives and distributors to sell our products and these entities could discontinue selling our products at any time. One agent accounted for about 49% of our revenues during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 and about 46% of our revenues during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000. Another agent accounted for approximately 37% of our revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The loss of such agent, or any other significant agents could seriously harm our operating results.

Our business is experiencing rapid growth which has strained our internal systems and will require us to develop or adopt more sophisticated information management systems in order to manage the business effectively. Although we have implemented an ERP system, there is no guarantee that this system and any new systems implemented in the future will be adequate to address our expected growth, or that management will be able to foresee in a timely manner other infrastructure needs before they arise. Our success depends on the ability of our executive officers to effectively manage our growth. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our results of operations will be seriously harmed.

With a focus on the DVD product line, most of our revenues in the last three years were generated from DVD products. Most of our new products currently being developed are in the DVD product line, particularly DVD-ROM drives and DVD loaders. The sales of DVD-ROM drives are closely related to the strength of the PC market and the popularity of PC's equipped with the DVD-ROM drives, in competition with CD-ROM, CD-RW and other devices. If we experience an unforeseen downturn in the PC market, an unexpected decline in PC's equipped with DVD-ROM drives, or a global over-supply in the production of DVD-ROM drives, our results of operations from our DVD-ROM drive business will be adversely affected. Such a situation occurred in 1999 and more notably in 2001, resulting in weakened product demand, accelerated decline of average selling prices, and accumulation of inventory due to a reduced turnover rate. This condition unfavorably impacted our revenues, gross margins, profitability, and our financial condition. While these conditions improved in later periods, if they were to resume, and if our operations could not properly adjust in time, our growth and operating results would be harmed. Similarly, the sales of our DVD loaders are related to the markets for DVD video discs and DVD video players. If the DVD video market does not grow as expected, the sales of our DVD loaders will also be reduced. Our business could be harmed by such industry-wide fluctuations in the future.

The semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical, characterized by wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to time, there are shortages or over-production of memory or other types of devices. Our business could be harmed by such industry-wide fluctuations in the future because our products incorporate these technologies. When a shortage occurs with one or more key components, it may be difficult for us to produce enough quantities of products to fill customers' orders, and it may require us to pay a higher price for the components in the event of a shortage, adversely affecting our margin and profitability.

Sales of our products in the computer peripherals market and consumer electronics market are subject to seasonality. As a result, sales of these products are impacted by seasonal purchasing patterns with higher sales generally occurring in the second half of each calendar year. There may be a sharp decline of sales near the Christmas and New Year holiday. Sales to China and certain other Asian regions may also decline near the lunar New Year's holidays in January or February.

The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of factors including those set forth in "Factors That May Affect Future Results."

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our revolving loans. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Our investments are relatively minor and consist primarily of commercial paper and certificates of deposits. Due to the nature of our investments, we believe that there is no material risk exposure. All investments are carried at market value, which approximates cost.

We develop products and market them in the Asia-Pacific region. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.

1. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-14 (c) and 15-d as of a date (the "Evaluation date") within 90 days before the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

2. Changes in internal controls.

Subsequent to the Evaluation Date, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

We may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the outcome of any of such legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

On December 4, 2001, a lawsuit was filed in United States District Court, Northern District of California against DVS and certain directors, officers and employees of DVS. The plaintiffs in the foregoing action, Glenbrook Capital Limited Partnership, Oxcal Venture Fund, Limited Partnership, Pratrap Kondamoori and Bruce C. Bailey, are certain investors that purchased securities from DVS in May 2001 and July 2001 in transactions not involving a public offering. The complaint relating to these transactions purports to allege claims relating to breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation and violation of the Securities Exchange Act. The plaintiffs seek damages in excess of $1 million, punitive damages and costs of suit. Although DVS believes that it has certain meritorious defenses to the complaints and intends to vigorously defend the action, an adverse judgment by a court or jury could have a material and adverse effect on DVS' business, results of operation and financial condition. Final settlement is currently being reviewed by all parties and the Company expects no further charges against earnings.

On June 18, 2001, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Santa Clara County Superior Court against Ernst & Young, LLP, the Company's former auditors. The complaint claims professional negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and deceit. The case was scheduled for mediation in October 2002. Mediation has been postponed pending discussion between all parties. The Company is hopeful it will obtain a favorable outcome to the suit.

On June 24, 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Santa Clara County Superior Court against Mali Kuo, Michael Chen, Meng Tek Ung and Doe's 1 through 50. The complaint claims breach of fiduciary duty, declaratory relief, cancellation of written instruments, rescission and damages. The complaint has been served on Mr. Chen and Ms. Kuo but the Company has not yet been able to serve the other named defendants as they are presently residing outside of the United States. The Company is confident it will obtain a favorable outcome to the suit. As of November 8, 2002, the company has received Mr. Chen's counter claims.

While we have accrued certain amounts for the estimated legal costs associated with these matters, there can be no assurance that these cases and other third party assertions will be resolved without costly litigation, in a manner that is not adverse to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows or without requiring royalty payments in the future which may adversely impact gross margins. No estimate can be made of the possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the resolution of these contingencies.
