Electronics for Imaging, Inc. Notes to unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Electronics for Imaging, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2002, have been prepared on the
same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001, contained in the Companys Annual Report to Stockholders. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and cash flows, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above and the notes thereto. Certain prior year balances
have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
The preparation of the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The interim results of the Company are subject to fluctuation. As a result, the Company believes the results of
operations for the interim periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 142
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the
reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, and reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill. Upon adoption of the
standard on January 1, 2002, we ceased amortizing goodwill and reclassified net intangible assets and deferred tax liabilities relating to acquired workforce totaling $0.9 million to goodwill.
The provisions of SFAS No. 142 also require periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. A transitional impairment test must be completed within six months of adoption
of SFAS No. 142, with any impairments treated as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The Company completed the transitional impairment test during June 2002, and did not record any impairment.
A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill and
workforce amortization, net of the related income tax effect, follows:

3. Acquisitions and Mergers
In May 2002, the Company acquired Unimobile, Inc., a wireless messaging software company for approximately $1.7 million in cash and
capitalized transaction-related costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on
the basis of their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The Company may be required to pay certain additional amounts of up to $1.0 million in cash contingent upon Unimobile achieving certain revenue goals within 18 months of the
acquisition. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the contingent portion of the purchase price has been recognized as a liability to the extent that the net acquired assets exceed the purchase price. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
operating results from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of this acquisition were not material.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
Off-Balance Sheet FinancingSynthetic Lease Arrangement
In 1997 the Company entered into an agreement (1997 Lease) to lease a ten-story 295,000 square foot building on land owned by the Company in Foster City,
California. The lessor funded the approximately $56.8 million construction cost of the building which was completed in July 1999. In conjunction with the 1997 Lease, the Company has entered into a separate ground lease with the lessor of the
building for a term of approximately 35 years. If the Company does not renew the 1997 Lease, the ground lease converts to a market rate.
In December 1999 the Company entered into a second agreement (1999 Lease and together with the 1997 Lease, the Leases) to lease additional facilities, to be constructed adjacent to the first building
discussed above. A 165,000 square foot building was completed in December 2001 at a cost of approximately $43.1 million. Rent obligations for the additional facilities, which began in January 2002, bear a direct relationship to the funded amount, as
described below. In connection with the 1999 Lease, the Company entered into a separate ground lease of the related parcels of land in Foster City with the lessor of the buildings at a nominal rate and for a term of 30 years. If the Company does not
renew the 1999 Lease, the ground lease converts to a market rate.
Both Leases have an initial term of seven
years, with options to renew subject to certain conditions. The Company may, at its option, purchase the facilities during or at the end of the term of the Leases for the amount expended by the respective lessor to construct the facilities
(approximately $56.8 million for the 1997 Lease and approximately $43.1 million for the 1999 Lease). The Company has guaranteed to the lessors a residual value associated with the buildings equal to approximately 82% of the their funding. The
Company may be liable to the lessor for the amount of the residual guarantee if it either fails to renew the lease or does not purchase or locate a purchaser for the leased facilities at the end of the lease term. The Company is liable to the lessor
for the total amount financed if it defaults on its covenants (approximately $56.8 million for the 1997 Lease and approximately $43.1 million for the 1999 Lease). During the term of the Leases the Company must maintain a minimum tangible net worth.
In addition, the Company has pledged certain marketable securities or interest-bearing accounts, which are in proportion to the amount drawn under each lease. Under the 1997 Lease, the pledged collateral (approximately $72.6 million at June 30,
2002) may be withdrawn at any time, but withdrawal results in an increase to the lease rate and the imposition of additional financial covenant restrictions. The funds pledged under the 1999 Lease (approximately $43.1 million at June 30, 2002) are
in a LIBOR-based interest bearing account and are restricted as to withdrawal at all times. The Company is treated as owner of these facilities for income tax purposes.
9
Purchase Commitments
The Company sub-contracts with other companies to manufacture its products. During the normal course of business the sub-contractors procure components based upon
orders placed by the Company. If the Company cancels all or part of the order, they may still be liable to the sub-contractors for the cost of the components purchased by the sub-contractors for placement in its products. The Company periodically
reviews the potential liability and the adequacy of the related reserve. The Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted if the Company were required to compensate the sub-contract
manufacturers in amounts in excess of the accrued liability.
Legal Proceedings
The Company and certain principal officers and directors were named as defendants in class action complaints filed in both the California
Superior Court of the County of San Mateo on December 15, 1997, and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on December 31, 1997 on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of the Company during the class period from
April 10, 1997, through December 11, 1997. On August 30, 2001, the Federal Court dismissed the complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The California Superior Court case remains open and is
scheduled to begin trial in December 2002. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate
outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, in January 1999, two class action complaints were filed, and subsequently consolidated into one case, in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California against Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (Splash), a company acquired by the Company in October 2000, and certain of its officers on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Splash during the class period from
January 7, 1997 through October 13, 1998. The complaints alleged violations of securities laws during the class period. On August 28, 2001, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice; the plaintiffs have appealed that ruling. The Company
believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome
of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Over the past five years, Mr. Jan R. Coyle, an individual living in Nevada, has repeatedly demanded that the Company buy technology allegedly invented by his company, Kolbet Labs. In December 2001, Mr. Coyle threatened to sue the
Company and its customers for allegedly infringing his soon to be issued patent and for misappropriating his alleged trade secrets. The Company believes Mr. Coyles claims are without merit and on December 11, 2001, the Company filed a
declaratory relief action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, asking the Court to declare that the Company and its customers have not breached any nondisclosure agreement with Mr. Coyle or Kolbet Labs, nor
has it infringed any alleged patent claims or misappropriated any alleged trade secrets belonging to Mr. Coyle or Kolbet Labs through its sale of Fiery, Splash or EDOX print controllers. The Company also sought an injunction enjoining both Mr. Coyle
and Kolbet Labs from bringing or threatening to bring a lawsuit against the Company, its suppliers, vendors, customers and users of its products for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. On March 26, 2002, the Northern District
of California court dismissed the Companys complaint for lack of jurisdiction over Mr. Coyle. The Company has filed a notice of appeal of the Courts dismissal.
On February 26, 2002, Coyles company, J & L Electronics, filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
alleging patent infringement, breach of non-disclosure agreements, misappropriation of trade secrets, violations of federal antitrust law, and related causes of action. On April 22, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Nevada complaint.
The motion is pending. The Company denies all of these allegations and management believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot
accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of its business. The
Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such claims will not materially affect the Companys business or financial condition.

Revenue decreased by 42% to $83.9 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to $143.9 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001. The
corresponding unit volume decreased by 49%. Revenue decreased by 41% to $166.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to $285.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The corresponding unit volume decreased
by 51%. The decrease in revenue both in dollars and in volume is indicative of the economic downturn being experienced worldwide. Companies have reduced their capital budgets, are delaying major purchases, extending leases or are buying lower-priced
equipment. Our OEM partners have reduced their workforce and promotional spending resulting in slower sales. The new product cycle has slowed due to both customer product delays and reduced investment by our OEM partners in new product development.
In addition, in certain cases our OEM partners have opted to use their own internally developed products as a means of differentiation.

The Companys revenue is principally derived from four major categories. The
first category is made up of stand-alone servers which connect digital color copiers with computer networks. This category includes products such as the Fiery X3, X4, Z4, Z5 and Z18. The second category consists of embedded desktop controllers,
bundled color solutions. chipset solutions and software RIPs primarily for the office market. The third category consists of controllers for digital black and white products. The fourth category consists of spares, licensing of certain products,
eBeam, software solutions, Unimobile and PrintMe.
The following is a break-down of categories by revenue, both in
terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage (%) of total revenue. Also shown is volume as a percentage (%) of total units shipped by product and by region.

Stand-alone Color Servers
The category of color stand-alone servers connecting to digital color copiers made up 44% of total revenue and 14% of total unit volume
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002. For the same period a year ago, it made up 39% of total revenue and 10% of total unit volume. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, this category made up 46% of total revenue and 16% of total
unit volume, compared to 40% of total revenue and 10% of total unit volume during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 32% in revenue and 23% in volume. During troubled economic times, companies have elected to defer the purchases
of equipment, or to purchase models with fewer features. The lack of new OEM product models has also impacted this area, as companies are opting to extend leases rather than purchase models that will be replaced in the near-term.
12
Embedded and Chipset Color Solutions
The category of embedded desktop controllers, bundled color solutions, chipset solutions and software RIPs made up 32% of total revenue
and 43% of total unit volume in the second quarter of 2002. This category made up 37% of total revenue and 61% of total unit volume in the second quarter of 2001, a decrease in revenue of 51% and in volume of 64%. For the six-month period ended June
30, 2002, this category contributed 29% of total revenue and 43% of total volume, a decrease of 43% and 60%, respectively, over the six-month contributions of 29% of total revenue and 53% of total volume in 2001. In some cases, our OEM partners have
opted to pay royalties for chipset designs and manufacture the complete boards themselves, rather than purchase boards manufactured by us. This has resulted in a lower revenue per unit, but a higher gross margin percentage and the same absolute
gross margin dollars for the chipsets. During periods of economic uncertainty such as those currently being experienced, desktop color printing devices are viewed as a luxury and as such, their sales decline.
Digital Black-and-white Solutions
The digital black-and-white solutions category made up 12% of total revenue and 36% of total unit volume in the three-month period ended June 30, 2002. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, it
made up 14% of total revenue and 22% of total unit volume. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 the digital black-and-white controller category made up 13% of total revenue and 35% of total unit volume, compared to 21% of total revenue and
32% of total unit volume during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The decline in this category can be attributed primarily to OEM partners relying increasingly on internally developed products, rather than purchasing products designed by the
Company. This category consists of digital black-and-white controllers and chip sets.
To the extent these
categories do not grow over time in absolute terms, or if the Company is not able to meet demand for higher unit volumes, it could have a material adverse effect on the Companys operating results. There can be no assurance that any new
products for 2002 will be qualified by all the OEMs, or that they will successfully compete, or be accepted by the market, or otherwise be able to effectively replace the volume of revenue and/or income from the older products.
The Company also believes that in addition to the factors described above, price reductions for all of its products will affect
revenues in the future. The Company has previously and may in the future reduce prices for its products. Depending upon the price-elasticity of demand for the Companys products, the pricing and quality of competitive products, and other
economic and competitive conditions, such price reductions may have an adverse impact on the Companys revenues and profits. While the Company has managed to improve gross margins over the last year, it may not be able to continue this trend.
If the Company is not able to compensate for lower gross margins that result from price reductions with an increased volume of sales, its results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if the Companys revenue in the future
depends more upon sales of products with relatively lower gross margins (such as embedded controllers for printers, embedded controllers for color and black-and-white copiers, and stand-alone controllers for black-and-white copiers), results of
operations may be adversely affected.

Reflecting the continuing global economic slow-down and
uncertainty, shipments to all geographic areas have decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period a year ago, although the distribution of volume amongst the areas has changed slightly. When comparing revenues
for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 to the same periods a year ago, the greatest decrease has come from Europe and the Americas. Continuing negative or worsening worldwide economic conditions may have an adverse impact on
the Companys results of operations in the future.
Shipments to some of the Companys OEM partners are
made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations which in turn sell through to other locations, making it difficult to obtain accurate geographic shipment data. Accordingly, the Company believes that export sales of its products into each
region may differ from what is reported. The Company expects that export sales will continue to represent a significant portion of its total revenue.
Substantially all of the revenue for the last three years was attributable to sales of products through the Companys OEM channels with such partners as Canon, Epson, Fuji-Xerox, IBM,
Hewlett-Packard, Kodak/Danka Business Systems, Konica, Lanier, Minolta, Océ, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba, Xerox and others. During 2002, the Company has continued to work on both increasing the number of OEM partners, and expanding the size of
existing relationships with OEM partners, as evidenced by the introduction of PrintMe with multiple partners. The Company relied on two OEM customers, Canon and Xerox, for 55% of its revenue in aggregate for both the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and three OEM customers (Canon, Xerox and Minolta) for 74% of its revenue in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and 72% of its revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. No assurance can be given that
the Companys relationships with these OEM partners will continue. In the event that any of these OEM relationships are scaled back or discontinued, the Company may experience and has experienced a significant negative impact on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
14
The Company continues to work on the development of products utilizing the
Fiery, Splash and EDOX architecture and other products and intends to continue to introduce new generations of server and controller products and other new product lines with current and new OEMs in 2002 and beyond. No assurance can be given
that the introduction or market acceptance of new, current or future products will be successful.
Cost of Revenue
Fiery color servers as well as embedded desktop controllers and digital black and white products are manufactured by
third-party manufacturers who purchase most of the necessary components. The Company directly sources processors, memory, certain ASICs, and software licensed from various sources, including PostScript interpreter software, which the Company
licenses from Adobe Systems, Inc.
Gross Margins
The Companys gross margins were 51% and 50% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively. For the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001, gross margins were 45%. The increase in gross margin was attributable to a change in product mix, with products with lower margins, such as digital black and white controllers, comprising a smaller share of the total sales, as
well as reduced manufacturing costs.
In general, the Company believes that gross margin will continue to be
impacted by a variety of factors. These factors include the market prices that can be achieved on the Companys current and future products, the availability and pricing of key components (including DRAM, Processors and Postscript interpreter
software), third party manufacturing costs, product, channel and geographic mix, the success of the Companys product transitions and new products, competition with third parties and our OEM partners, and general economic conditions in the
United States and abroad. Consequently, the Company anticipates gross margins will fluctuate from period to period.
Operating
Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 16% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to the
three-month period ended June 30, 2001. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 operating expenses decreased by 18% when compared to the same period in 2001. Decreases in operating expenses in absolute dollars of $8.0 million for the
three-month comparison and $18.6 million for the six-month comparison, were primarily achieved by controlled spending and the elimination of goodwill amortization of approximately $2.0 million and $4.0 million respectively. Effective January 1,
2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and ceased amortizing goodwill.
The Company anticipates that operating
expenses should remain relatively stable or increase slightly in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue.
The components of operating expenses are detailed below.
Research and Development
Expenses for research and development consist primarily of personnel expenses and, to a lesser extent,
consulting, depreciation and costs of prototype materials. Research and development expenses were $23.0 million or 27% of revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to $25.3 million or 18% of revenue for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2001. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, research and development expenses were $45.4 million or 27% of revenue compared to $51.7 million or 18% of revenue for the same period in 2001. The 9% decrease in the
three-month period comparison and the 12% decrease in the six-month period comparison were primarily comprised of reduced personnel expenses, including travel and recruiting expenses, reduced consultant costs and reduced equipment costs. The Company
believes that the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products are essential to its continued success, and intends to continue to devote substantial resources to research and new product development efforts. Accordingly, the
Company expects that its research and development expenses may not decrease in absolute dollars and also as a percentage of revenue in future quarters.
15
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include personnel expenses, costs of trade shows, marketing programs and promotional materials, sales commissions, travel and
entertainment expenses, depreciation, and costs associated with sales offices in the United States, Europe, Japan and other locations around the world. Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 were $12.5 million or
15% of revenue compared to $15.2 million or 11% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in absolute dollars of $2.7 million is due primarily to reduced personnel expenses, including travel and recruiting expenses, decreased
promotional expense and reduced consulting costs. Sales and marketing expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 were $24.8 million or 15% of revenue compared to $30.9 million or 11% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Reduced personnel expenses, including travel and recruiting expenses, decreased promotional expenses and decreased consulting costs all contribute to the $6.1 million decrease in absolute dollars. The Company expects that its sales and marketing
expenses may increase in absolute dollars as it continues to actively promote its products, introduce new products and services and continue to build its sales and marketing organization, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific, including Japan.
This increase might not proportionally increase with increases in volume if the Companys sales continue to gravitate toward desktop and embedded products, which require less support from the Company as the OEM partners take over this role, and
as the Company grows its software solutions and PrintMe product lines which require more sale and marketing support from the Company.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily
of personnel expenses and, to a lesser extent, depreciation and facility costs, professional fees and other costs associated with public companies. General and administrative expenses were $5.5 million or 7% of revenue for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2002, compared to $6.5 million or 4% of revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001. Decreased employee-related expense, reduced utility expense and decreased building rental expense partially offset by increased consultant
costs account for most of the $1.0 million decrease in absolute dollars. General and administrative expenses were $10.9 million or 7% of revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to $13.1 million or 5% of revenue for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001. Decreased employee-related expense, reduced utility expense and decreased building rental expense partially offset by increased consultant costs account for most of the $2.2 million decrease in absolute dollars.
Amortization of Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, amortization of purchased intangibles was $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, or 1% of
revenue. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles were $3.1 million or 2% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and $6.1 million or 2% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company expects amortization of
purchased intangibles will continue at the present rate of approximately $1.1 million per quarter for the remainder of 2002. SFAS No. 142, issued in July, 2001, requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization for fiscal
years beginning after March 15, 2001. Upon adoption of the standard in January 2002, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill and began periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. The first test of impairment was completed in the second quarter of
2002 and the Company did not record any impairment of goodwill. Net unamortized goodwill at June 30, 2002 was $43.6 million. No additional goodwill was recorded upon the acquisition of Unimobile, Inc.
Other Income
Other
income relates mainly to interest income and expense, and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. Other income of $3.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 decreased by 25% from $4.0 million for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, other income decreased 25% to $6.2 million from $8.3 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is largely the result of the short-term nature of our investments and the
fact that reinvestment rates are much lower than the rates on instruments that have reached maturity and are being reinvested.
Income
Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate was 30% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 35.5% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001. The rate decreased in 2002 as a result of product sales made by non-US subsidiaries and the elimination of non-deductible goodwill amortization due to the implementation of SFAS No.
142. In each of these periods, the Company also benefited from tax-exempt interest income and the utilization of research and development credits in achieving a consolidated effective tax rate lower than that prescribed by the respective Federal and
State taxing authorities. The Company currently anticipates that the tax rate for the remainder of 2002 will remain approximately 30%.
16
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $8.1 million to $459.3 million as of June 30, 2002, from $451.2 million as of December 31, 2001. Working
capital increased by $4.4 million to $442.4 million as of June 30, 2002, up from $438.0 million as of December 31, 2001. These increases are primarily the result of net income, changes in balance sheet components and the exercise of employee stock
options.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2002. The Company invests cash in excess of its operating needs in short-term investments, mainly municipal securities. Purchases in excess of sales of short-term and restricted investments were $38.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2002. Our restricted investments have been moved from short-term securities to a LIBOR-based interest bearing account as part of the completion of construction of the second building under our synthetic lease. The Company used $1.7 million of cash
to acquire Unimobile, Inc. and to pay an additional $0.2 million related to 2001 acquisitions. The Companys capital expenditures generally consist of investments in computers and related peripheral equipment and office furniture for use
in the Companys operations. The Company purchased approximately $7.0 million of facilities, equipment and furniture during the six-month period ended June 30, 2002.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $4.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, was primarily the result of exercises of common stock options and the
tax benefits to the Company associated with those exercises and the issuance of stock under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Off-Balance Sheet FinancingSynthetic Lease Arrangement
In 1997 the Company entered into an agreement (1997 Lease) to lease a ten-story 295,000 square foot building on land owned by the Company in Foster City, California. The lessor funded the approximately $56.8 million
construction cost of the building which was completed in July 1999. In conjunction with the 1997 Lease, the Company has entered into a separate ground lease with the lessor of the building for a term of approximately 35 years. If the Company does
not renew the 1997 Lease, the ground lease converts to a market rate.
In December 1999 the Company entered into a
second agreement (1999 Lease and together with the 1997 Lease, the Leases) to lease additional facilities, to be constructed adjacent to the first building discussed above. A 165,000 square foot building was completed in
December 2001 at a cost of approximately $43.1 million. Rent obligations for the additional facilities, which began in January 2002, bear a direct relationship to the funded amount. In connection with the 1999 Lease, the Company entered into a
separate ground lease of the related parcels of land in Foster City with the lessor of the buildings at a nominal rate and for a term of 30 years. If the Company does not renew the 1999 Lease, the ground lease converts to a market rate.
Both Leases have an initial term of seven years, with options to renew subject to certain conditions. The Company
may, at its option, purchase the facilities during or at the end of the term of the Leases for the amount expended by the respective lessor to construct the facilities (approximately $56.8 million for the 1997 Lease and approximately $43.1 million
for the 1999 Lease). The Company has guaranteed to the lessors a residual value associated with the buildings equal to approximately 82% of the their funding. The Company may be liable to the lessor for the amount of the residual guarantee if it
either fails to renew the lease or does not purchase or locate a purchaser for the leased facilities at the end of the lease term. The Company is liable to the lessor for the total amount financed if it defaults on its covenants (approximately $56.8
million for the 1997 Lease and approximately $43.1 million for the 1999 Lease). During the term of the Leases the Company must maintain a minimum tangible net worth. In addition, the Company has pledged certain marketable securities or
interest-bearing accounts, which are in proportion to the amount drawn under each lease. Under the 1997 Lease, the pledged collateral (approximately $72.6 million at June 30, 2002) may be withdrawn at any time, but withdrawal results in an increase
to the lease rate and the imposition of additional financial covenant restrictions. The funds pledged under the 1999 Lease (approximately $43.1 million at June 30, 2002) are in a LIBOR-based interest bearing account and are restricted as to
withdrawal at all times. The Company is treated as owner of these facilities for income tax purposes.
17
Purchase Commitments
The Company sub-contracts with other companies to manufacture its products. During the normal course of business the sub-contractors procure components based upon
orders placed by the Company. If the Company cancels all or part of the order, they may still be liable to the sub-contractors for the cost of the components purchased by the sub-contractors. The Company periodically reviews the potential liability
and the adequacy of the related reserve. The Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted if the Company were required to compensate the sub-contract manufacturers in amounts in excess of the
accrued liability.
The Companys inventory consists primarily of memory subsystems, processors and ASICs,
which are sold to third-party contract manufacturers responsible for manufacturing the Companys products. Should the Company decide to purchase components and do its own manufacturing, or should it become necessary for the Company to purchase
and sell components other than the processors, ASICs or memory subsystems for its contract manufacturers, inventory balances and potentially fixed assets would increase significantly, thereby reducing the Companys available cash resources.
Further, the inventory the Company carries could become obsolete thereby negatively impacting the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company also relies on several sole-source suppliers for certain key
components and could experience a significant negative impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations if such supplies were reduced or not available.
Legal Proceedings
The Company
and certain principal officers and directors were named as defendants in class action complaints filed in both the California Superior Court of the County of San Mateo on December 15, 1997, and the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California on December 31, 1997 on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of the Company during the class period from April 10, 1997, through December 11, 1997. On August 30, 2001, the Federal Court dismissed the complaint filed in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The California Superior Court case remains open and is scheduled to begin trial in December 2002. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the
actions vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Companys
financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, in January 1999, two class action complaints were
filed, and subsequently consolidated into one case, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (Splash), a company acquired by the Company in October 2000, and certain
of its officers on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Splash during the class period from January 7, 1997 through October 13, 1998. The complaints alleged violations of securities laws during the class period. On August 28, 2001, the Court
dismissed the complaint with prejudice; the plaintiffs have appealed that ruling. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the
Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
Over the past five years, Mr. Jan R. Coyle, an individual living in Nevada, has repeatedly demanded that the Company buy technology
allegedly invented by his company, Kolbet Labs. In December 2001, Mr. Coyle threatened to sue the Company and all of its customers for allegedly infringing his soon to be issued patent and for misappropriating his alleged trade secrets. The Company
believes Mr. Coyles claims are without merit and on December 11, 2001, the Company filed a declaratory relief action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, asking the Court to declare that the Company and
its customers have not breached any nondisclosure agreement with Mr. Coyle or Kolbet Labs, nor has it infringed any alleged patent claims or misappropriated any alleged trade secrets belonging to Mr. Coyle or Kolbet Labs through its sale of Fiery,
Splash or EDOX print controllers. The Company also sought an injunction enjoining both Mr. Coyle and Kolbet Labs from bringing or threatening to bring a lawsuit against the Company, its suppliers, vendors, customers and users of its products for
breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. On March 26, 2002, the Northern District of California court dismissed the Companys complaint for lack of jurisdiction over Mr. Coyle. The Company has filed a notice of appeal of the
Courts dismissal.
On February 26, 2002, Coyles company, J & L Electronics, filed a complaint
against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada alleging patent infringement, breach of non-disclosure agreements, misappropriation of trade secrets, violations of federal antitrust law, and related causes of
action. On April 22, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Nevada complaint. The motion is pending. The Company denies all of these allegations and management believes this lawsuit is wholly without merit and intends to defend the actions
vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. Any unfavorable outcome of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Companys
financial condition and results of operations.
18
In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in litigation relating to
claims arising in the normal course of its business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such claims will not materially affect the Companys business or financial condition.
The Company believes that its existing capital resources, together with cash generated from continuing operations will be sufficient to
fund its operations and meet capital requirements through at least 2002. If revenues continue to decline, continuing operations might not generate enough cash to fund the Companys operations and capital requirements. The Company has sufficient
cash and short-term investments to fund operating expenses through at least 2003.
Euro Assessment
On January 1, 1999, the Euro was introduced. On that day, the exchange ratios of the currencies of the eleven countries
participating in the first phase of the European Economic and Monetary Union were fixed. The Euro became a currency in its own right and the currencies of the participating countries are now fixed denominations of the Euro. The conversion to the
Euro is having significant effects on the foreign exchange markets and bond markets and is requiring significant changes in the operations and systems within the European banking industry. Our information system is designed to accommodate
multi-currency environments. As a result, we have the flexibility to transact business with vendors and customers in either Euro or traditional national currency units.
Factors That Could Adversely Affect Performance
Our
performance may be adversely affected by the following factors:
We rely on sales to a relatively small number
of OEM partners, and the loss of any of these customers could substantially decrease our revenues
Because we
sell our products primarily to our OEM partners, we rely on high sales volumes to a relatively small number of customers. We expect that we will continue to depend on these OEM partners for a significant portion of our revenues. If we lose an
important OEM or we are unable to recruit additional OEMs, our revenues may be materially and adversely affected. We cannot assure you that our major customers will continue to purchase our products at current levels or that they will continue to
purchase our products at all. Our OEM partners may elect to develop products on their own, rather than purchase our products. In addition, our results of operations could be adversely affected by a decline in demand for copiers or laser printers,
other factors affecting our major customers, in particular, or the computer industry in general. Xerox, our second largest customer, has in the past experienced serious financial difficulties in their business. If Xerox continues to face such
difficulties, our short-term revenues and profitability could be materially and adversely affected through, among other things, decreased sales volumes and write-offs of accounts receivables and inventory related to Xerox products.
We rely upon our OEM partners to develop new products, applications and product enhancements in a timely and cost-effective
manner. Our continued success depends upon the ability of these OEMs to meet changing customer needs and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. However, we cannot assure you that our OEMs will effectively meet these
technological changes. These OEMs, who are not within our control, have incorporated into their products the technologies of other companies in addition to, or instead of our products and may continue to do so in the future. These OEMs may introduce
and support products that are not compatible with our products. We rely on these OEMs to market our products with their products, and if these OEMs do not effectively market our products our sales revenue may be materially and adversely affected.
With the exception of certain minimum purchase obligations, these OEMs are not obligated to purchase products from us. We cannot assure you that our OEMs will continue to carry our products.
Our OEMs work closely with us to develop products that are specific to each OEMs copiers and printers. Many of the products we are developing require that we
coordinate development, quality testing, marketing and other tasks with our OEMs. We cannot control our OEMs development efforts and coordinating with our OEMs may cause delays that we cannot manage by ourselves. In addition, our sales revenue
and results of operations may be adversely affected if we cannot meet our OEMs product needs for their specific copiers and printers, as well as successfully manage the additional engineering and support effort and other risks associated with
such a wide range of products.
19
We are pursuing, and will continue to pursue, the business of additional copier
and printer OEMs. However, because there are a limited number of OEMs producing copiers and printers in sufficient volume to be attractive customers for us, we expect that customer concentration will continue to be a risk.
We establish expenditure levels for operating expenses based on projected sales levels and margins, and expenses are relatively fixed in
the short term. Accordingly, if sales are below expectations in any given quarter, the adverse impact of the shortfall in revenues on operating results may be increased by our inability to adjust spending in the short term to compensate for this
shortfall.
If we are unable to develop new products, or execute product introductions on a timely basis, our
future revenue and operating results may be harmed
Our operating results will depend to a significant extent
on continual improvement of existing technologies and rapid innovation of new products and technologies. Our success depends not only on our ability to predict future requirements, but also to develop and introduce new products that successfully
address customer needs. Any delays in the launch or availability of new products we are planning could harm our financial results. During transitions from existing products to new products, customers may delay or cancel orders for existing products.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected if we cannot successfully manage product transitions or provide adequate availability of products after they have been introduced.
We must continue to make significant investments in research and development in order to enhance performance and functionality of our products, including product lines
different than our Fiery, Splash and EDOX servers and embedded controllers. We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify new product opportunities, develop and introduce new products to market in a timely manner, and achieve market
acceptance of our products. Also, if we decide to develop new products, our research and development expenses may increase in the short term without a corresponding increase in revenue. Finally, we cannot assure you that products and technologies
developed by our own customers and others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
We license software used in most of our products from Adobe Systems Incorporated, and the loss of this license would prevent us from shipping these products
Under our license agreements with Adobe, a separate license must be granted from Adobe to us for each type of copier or printer used with a Fiery Server or Controller. To
date, we have successfully obtained licenses to use Adobes PostScript software for our
products, where required. We cannot assure you that Adobe will continue to grant future licenses to Adobe PostScript software on reasonable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, we cannot assure you that Adobe will continue to give us the quality assurance approvals we are required to obtain from Adobe for the Adobe
licenses. If Adobe does not grant us such licenses or approvals, if the Adobe license agreements are terminated, or if our relationship with Adobe is otherwise impaired, we would be unable to sell products that incorporate Adobe software, and our
financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely harmed.
If the demand for
products that enable color printing of digital data continues to decrease, our sales revenue will likely decrease
Our products are primarily targeted at enabling the printing of digital data. Demand for networked printers and copiers containing our technology decreased in 2001 and continues to decrease in 2002 due to the global economic downturn
and we cannot assure you that demand will level off or increase in the future, nor can we assure you that the demand will level off or increase for the specific OEM printers and copiers that utilize our products. If demand for digital printing
products and services containing our technology continues to decline, or if the demand for our OEMs specific printers or copiers for which our products are designed should continue to decline, our sales revenue will likely be adversely affected. We
sell products that are large capital expenditures as well as discretionary purchase items for our customers. In difficult economic times such as we are now experiencing, spending on information technology is often decreased. As our products are of a
more discretionary nature than many other technology products, we may be more adversely impacted by deteriorating general economic conditions than other technology firms. We are subject to economic sensitivity that has harmed and could, in the
future, harm our results of operations. We believe that demand for our products may also be affected by a variety of economic conditions and considerations, and we cannot assure you that demand for our products or our customers products will
continue or improve from current levels.
20
If we enter new markets or distribution channels this could result in
decreased revenues or higher operating expenses and may not increase revenues
We continue to explore
opportunities to develop product lines different from our current servers and embedded controllers, such as our new line of graphics arts software products, Velocity software products, eBeam, PrintMe Networks and Unimobile. We expect to continue to
invest funds to develop new distribution and marketing channels for these and additional new products and services, which will increase our operating expenses. We do not know if we will be successful in developing these channels or whether the
market will accept any of our new products or services. In addition, even if we are able to introduce new products or services, the lack of marketplace acceptability of these new products or services may adversely impact the Companys operating
results.
We face competition from other suppliers as well as our own OEM customers, and if we are not able to
compete successfully then our business may be harmed
Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized
by rapid technological changes. We compete against a number of other suppliers of imaging products. We cannot assure you that products or technologies developed by competing suppliers will not render our products or technologies obsolete or
noncompetitive.
While many of our OEMs sell our products on an exclusive basis, we do not have any formal
agreements that prevent the OEMs from offering alternative products. If an OEM offers products from alternative suppliers our market share could decrease, which could reduce our revenue and adversely affect our financial results.
Many of our OEM partners themselves internally develop and sell products that compete directly with our current products. These
OEMs may be able to develop more quickly than we can products similar to ours that are compatible with their own products. These OEMs may chose to market their own products, even if these products are technologically inferior, have lower performance
or cost more. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete against similar products developed internally by our OEMs or against their financial and other resources, particularly in the black and white product market. If we
cannot compete successfully against our OEMs internally developed products, our business may be harmed.
If we are not able to hire and retain skilled employees, we may not be able to develop products or meet demand for our products in a timely fashion
We depend upon skilled employees, such as software and hardware engineers, quality assurance engineers and other technical professionals with specialized skills. We are
headquartered in the Silicon Valley where competition among companies to hire engineering and technical professionals has historically been intense. In times of professional labor shortages, it may be difficult for us to locate and hire qualified
engineers and technical professionals and for us to retain these people. There are many technology companies located near our corporate offices in the Silicon Valley that may try to hire our employees. The movement of our stock price may also impact
our ability to hire and retain employees. If we do not offer competitive compensation, we may not be able to recruit or retain employees. If we cannot successfully hire and retain employees, we may not be able to develop products timely or to meet
demand for our products in a timely fashion and our results of operations may be adversely impacted.
Our
operating results may fluctuate based upon many factors, which could adversely affect our stock price
We
expect our stock price to vary with our operating results and, consequently, such fluctuations could adversely affect our stock price. Operating results may fluctuate due to
|
|
|
varying demand for our products; |
|
|
|
success and timing of new product introductions; |
|
|
|
changes in interest rates and availability of bank or financing credit to consumers of digital copiers and printers; |
|
|
|
price reductions by us and our competitors; |
|
|
|
delay, cancellation or rescheduling of orders; |
|
|
|
availability of key components, including possible delays in deliveries from suppliers; |
21
|
|
|
the status of our relationships with our OEM partners; |
|
|
|
the performance of third-party manufacturers; |
|
|
|
the status of our relationships with our key suppliers; |
|
|
|
the financial and operational condition of OEM partners and key suppliers; |
|
|
|
potential excess or shortage of skilled employees; |
|
|
|
changes in product mix; and |
|
|
|
general economic conditions. |
Many of our products, and the related OEM copiers and printers, are purchased utilizing lease contracts or bank financing. If prospective purchasers of digital copiers and printers are unable to obtain credit, or interest
rate changes make credit terms undesirable, this may significantly reduce the demand for digital copiers and printers, negatively impacting our revenues and operating results.
Typically we do not have long-term volume purchase contracts with our customers, and a substantial portion of our backlog is scheduled for delivery within 90 days or less.
Our customers may cancel orders and change volume levels or delivery times for product they have ordered from us without penalty. However, a significant portion of our operating expenses are fixed in advance, and we plan these expenditures based on
the sales forecasts from our OEM customers and product development programs. If we were unable to adjust our operating expenses in response to a shortfall in our sales, it could harm our quarterly financial results.
We attempt to hire additional employees to match growth in projected demand for our products. If actual demand is lower than our
projections as has occurred in the recent past, we may likely will have hired too many employees and we may therefore incur expenses that we need not have incurred and our financial results may be lower. If we project a lower demand than
materializes, we likely will have hired too few employees and we may not therefore be able to meet demand for our products and our sales revenue may be lower. Projecting demand is difficult in our business and no assurances can be provided that we
will accurately project demand. If we cannot successfully manage our growth, our results of operations may be harmed.
The value of our investment portfolio will decrease if interest rates increase
We have an
investment portfolio of mainly fixed income securities classified as available-for-sale securities. As a result, our investment portfolio is subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. We attempt to limit
this exposure to interest rate risk by investing in securities with maturities of less than 3 years; however we may be unable to successfully limit our risk to interest rate fluctuations and this may cause our investment portfolio to decrease in
value.
Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile
Our common stock, and the stock market generally, have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. The market
prices for securities of technology companies have been especially volatile, and fluctuations in the stock market are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of our common stock. Our common stock price may also be affected by the factors discussed in this section as well as
|
|
|
fluctuations in our results of operations, revenues or earnings or those of our competitors and OEMs; |
|
|
|
failure of results of operations, revenues or earnings to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors; |
|
|
|
changes in stock market analysts recommendations regarding us; |
|
|
|
real or perceived technological advances by our competitors; |
|
|
|
political or economic instability in regions where our products are sold or used; |
22
|
|
|
general market and economic conditions; and |
|
|
|
changes in accounting standards. |
We face risks from our international operations and from currency fluctuations
Approximately 48% and 53% of our revenue from the sale of products for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively, came from sales outside North America, primarily to Europe and Japan. We
expect that sales to international destinations will continue to be a significant portion of our total revenue. We are subject to certain risks because of our international operations. These risks include the regulatory requirements of foreign
governments which may apply to our products, as well as requirements for export licenses which may be required for the export of certain technologies. The necessary export licenses may be delayed or difficult to obtain, which could cause a delay in
our international sales and hurt our product revenue. Other risks include trade protection measures, natural disasters, and political or economic conditions in a specific country or region.
Given the significance of our export sales to our total product revenue, we face a continuing risk from the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen, the Euro
and other major European currencies, and numerous Southeast Asian currencies. Although we typically invoice our customers in U.S. dollars, when we do invoice our customers in local currencies, our cash flows and earnings are exposed to fluctuations
in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates between the currency of the invoice and the U.S. dollar. We attempt to limit or hedge these exposures through operational strategies and financial market instruments where we consider it
appropriate. To date we have mostly used forward contracts to reduce our risk from interest rate and currency fluctuations. However, our efforts to reduce the risk from our international operations and from fluctuations in foreign currencies or
interest rates may not be successful, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.
We may
be unable to adequately protect our proprietary information and may incur expenses to defend our proprietary information
We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements, and licensing and cross-licensing arrangements to establish, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, all
of which afford only limited protection. We have patent applications pending in the United States and in various foreign countries. There can be no assurance that patents will be issued from these pending applications or from any future
applications, or that, if issued, any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Any failure to adequately protect our proprietary information could harm our financial condition and operating results. We cannot be certain
that any patents that may be issued to us, or which we license from third parties, or any other of our proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, we cannot be certain that any rights granted to us under any
patents, licenses or other proprietary rights will provide adequate protection of our proprietary information.
From time to time, litigation may be necessary to defend and enforce our proprietary rights. Such litigation, whether or not concluded successfully for us, could involve significant expense and the diversion of our attention and
other resources, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.
We face risks from third
party claims of infringement and potential litigation
Third parties have claimed in the past and may claim in
the future that our products infringe, or may infringe, their proprietary rights. Such claims could result in lengthy and expensive litigation. Such claims and any related litigation, whether or not we are successful in the litigation, could result
in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, which could harm our financial condition and operating results. Although we may seek licenses from third parties covering intellectual property that we are allegedly infringing, we cannot assure
you that any such licenses could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all. See Legal Proceedings.
Our products may contain defects which are not discovered until after shipping
Our
products consist of hardware and software developed by ourselves and others. Our products may contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions are released, and we have in the past discovered software and hardware errors in
certain of our new products after their introduction. There can be no assurance that errors would not be found in new versions of our products after commencement of commercial shipments, or that any such errors would not result in a loss or delay in
market acceptance and thus harm our reputation and revenues. In addition, errors in our products (including errors in licensed third party software) detected prior to new product releases could result in delays in the introduction of new products
and incurring of additional expense, which could harm our operating results.
23
Seasonal purchasing patterns of our OEM customers have historically caused
lower fourth quarter revenue, which may negatively impact the results of operations
Our results of operations
have typically followed a seasonal pattern reflecting the buying patterns of our large OEM customers. In the past, our fiscal fourth quarter (the quarter ending December 31) results have been adversely affected because some or all of our OEM
customers wanted to decrease, or otherwise delay, fourth quarter orders. In addition, the first fiscal quarter traditionally has been a weaker quarter because our OEM partners focus on training their sales forces. The primary reasons for this
seasonal pattern are:
|
|
|
our OEM partners have historically sought to minimize year-end inventory investment (including the reduction in demand following introductory channel
fill purchases); |
|
|
|
the timing of new product releases and training by our OEM partners; and |
|
|
|
certain of our OEM partners typically achieve their yearly sales targets before year end and consequently delay further purchases into the next fiscal year (we
do not know when our partners reach these sales targets as they generally do not share them with us). |
As a result of these factors, we believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results are not meaningful, and you should not rely on such comparisons to predict our future performance. We anticipate that future
operating results may fluctuate significantly due to the continuation or changes in this seasonal demand pattern.
We may make acquisitions and acquisitions involve numerous financial risks
We seek to
develop new technologies and products from both internal and external sources. As part of this effort, we may make, and have in the past made, acquisitions of other companies or other companies assets. Acquisitions involve numerous risks,
including the following:
|
|
|
difficulties in integration of operations, technologies, or products; |
|
|
|
risks of entering markets in which we have little or no prior experience, or entering markets where competitors have stronger market positions;
|
|
|
|
possible write-downs of impaired assets; and |
|
|
|
potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. |
Mergers and acquisitions of companies are inherently risky, and we cannot assure you that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful and will not harm our
business, operating results, financial condition, or stock price.
We may incur losses on our equity
investments.
We have a fund to invest, either directly or through outside funds, in the equity securities of
privately held companies, many of which can still be considered in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky as the market for the technologies or products they have under development are typically in the early stages
and may never materialize. We have already recognized investment losses and could lose part of or all of our investment in the future.
The location and concentration of our facilities subjects us to the risk of earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters
Our corporate headquarters, including most of our research and development facilities and manufacturing operations, are located in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California, an area known for
seismic activity. This area has also experienced flooding in the past. In addition, many of the components necessary to supply our products are purchased from suppliers subject to risk from natural disasters, based in areas including the San
Francisco Bay Area, Taiwan, and Japan. A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake or a flood, could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
24
We are dependent on sub-contractors to manufacture and deliver products to our
customers
We subcontract with other companies to manufacture our products. We rely on the ability of our
subcontractors to produce products to be sold to our customers, and while we closely monitor our subcontractors performance we cannot assure you that such subcontractors will continue to manufacture our products in a timely and effective manner. We
also can not assure you that difficulties experienced by our subcontractors, including financial problems, and the inability to make or ship our products or fix quality assurance problems, would not harm our business, operating results, or financial
condition. If we decide to change subcontractors we could experience delays in setting up new subcontractors which would result in delay in delivery of our products.
We depend upon a limited group of suppliers for key components in our products
Certain components necessary for the manufacture of our products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. These include processors from Intel and
other related semiconductor components. We may not maintain long-term agreements with any of our suppliers of components. Because the purchase of certain key components involves long lead times, in the event of unanticipated volatility in demand for
our products, we could be unable to manufacture certain products in a quantity sufficient to meet end user demand, or we may hold excess quantities of inventory. We maintain an inventory of components for which we are dependent upon sole or limited
source suppliers and components with prices that fluctuate significantly. As a result, we are subject to a risk of inventory obsolescence, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, the market prices
and availability of certain components, particularly memory, and Intel designed components, which collectively represent a substantial portion of the total manufactured cost of our products, have fluctuated significantly in the past. Such
fluctuations in the future could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. These fluctuations could result in a reduction in gross margins.
We have recently implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning System
We recently implemented a new corporate-wide enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to replace our previous system. We continue to pursue deployment of additional modules under the new
system, phased in over an extended period. The implementation of an ERP system requires full commitment of management and the dedication and utilization of significant internal, as well as external, resources in managing the project, process
redesigns, system integration and employee training. Historically, many companies have experienced difficulties in implementing ERP systems. These difficulties include cost overruns, push-outs of implementation deadlines, process and operations
bottlenecks, failure to execute operating plans, including revenue impairment due to inability to ship products, and abandonment of the effort altogether. We must effectively manage our planning and execution of the implementation of the system and
the training of personnel throughout the Company. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage the implementation of our ERP system or the training of our personnel. Any failure to effectively manage our efforts or process
and operations designs relating to the ERP system and other difficulties we face in implementing the ERP system would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We face the risk of decreased revenues in light of ongoing economic uncertainty
The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends significantly on the overall demand for information technology products such as ours that enable printing of
digital data. Softening demand for these products caused by ongoing economic uncertainty and recession in the United States and other regions where we conduct business has resulted, and may further result, in decreased revenues, earnings levels or
growth rates or inventory write downs. The United States and global economy, and particularly the markets for our products have weakened substantially over the past two years and market conditions continue to be challenging. This has resulted in
individuals and companies delaying or reducing expenditures, including information technology expenditures. Further delays or reductions in information technology spending will have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services,
and consequently on our business, operating results, financial condition, prospects and stock price.
25
ITEM 3:
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Market
risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. The Company has limited its exposure to market risk by denominating the majority of its sales in United States
dollars. The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company enters into financial instrument contracts to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. The counterparties to such contracts are major financial institutions.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
In the past the Company has utilized forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the currency fluctuations in
transactions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby limiting the Companys risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. The transactions hedged were intercompany accounts receivable and payable between the Company and
its Japanese subsidiary. The periods of the forward foreign exchange contracts correspond to the reporting periods of the hedged transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances and the offsetting losses and gains on forward
foreign exchange contracts are reflected in the income statement. The Company had no forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2002.
Interest Rate Risk
The fair value of the Companys
cash portfolio at June 30, 2002, approximated carrying value. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease in fair value resulting from an instantaneous hypothetical 100 basis-point increase in interest rates for any debt instruments in the
Companys investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2002, the Companys cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio includes debt securities of $310.6 million subject to interest rate risk. A 100 basis-point increase in market interest
rates would result in a $2.3 million decrease in fair value.
