ENDWAVE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Endwave Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

All share and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the 1 for 4 reverse stock split effected July 2002.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s customers are primarily wireless systems integrators and equipment manufacturers who integrate the Company’s products into their products. The Company recognizes product revenue at the time title passes, which is upon product shipment or when the product is withdrawn from a consignment location. Revenues related to product sales are recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB 101), when: (1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. There are no typically significant acceptance requirements or post-shipment obligations on the part of the Company. The Company recognizes development fees ratably over the estimated term of the development period or when specific milestones are achieved. Up-front fees, if any, associated with development agreements are recognized over the estimated development and production period. In no event are revenues recognized prior to becoming payable by the customer. The costs incurred under these agreements are included in research and development expenses.

 

Warranty

 

The warranty periods for the Company’s products are generally between one and three years from date of shipment. The Company provides for estimated warranty expense at the time of shipment. While the Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company provides an allowance for specific customer accounts where collection is doubtful and also provides a general allowance for other accounts based on historical collection and write-off experience. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

 

The Company invests its excess cash primarily in highly liquid investment grade commercial paper and money market accounts with United States banks and in short-term investments.

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments with maturities between 90 days and one year are classified as short-term investments available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive

income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. If the fair value of a security is below its carrying value for each trading day for six consecutive months or if its decline is due to a significant adverse event, the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary declines in fair value of short-term marketable securities are charged against other income.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company refinanced some of its capital leases during 2002 to take advantage of the low interest rate environment. The restricted cash is a compensating balance to the notes payable with a major bank and is in an interest-bearing note. The amount restricted declines as the Company pays it monthly obligation of principal and interest. The interest rate on the note payable is 25 basis points above LIBOR rates and is set quarterly.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market (net realizable value). Standard costs approximate average actual costs. The Company uses a standard cost accounting system to value inventory and these standards are reviewed at a minimum of once a year. The Company provides for the inventory value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory, based on management’s assessment of future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to thirty years.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company was formed through the merger of TRW Milliwave into Endgate Corporation. The merger of TRW Milliwave with and into Endgate was accomplished through a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code. As such, Endgate’s and TRW Milliwave’s tax bases in their assets and liabilities carried over to the Company with no step-up in basis. Therefore, the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the merger, including goodwill, is not deductible for tax purposes. Since inception, Endgate incurred net losses and therefore generated significant net operating loss carry-forwards. These carry-forwards were not reflected on Endgate’s balance sheet as an asset because they were fully reserved due to uncertainty about Endgate’s ability to utilize these loss carryforwards. The merger with TRW Milliwave imposed limitations on the combined company’s ability to utilize these pre-existing net operating loss carryforwards. Generally accepted accounting principles require that deferred tax liabilities be recorded for identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. The deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards is greater than the deferred tax liabilities related to the identifiable intangible assets acquired. A valuation allowance has been provided to eliminate the net deferred tax asset because ultimate realization is uncertain. Because TRW Milliwave was a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRW, and therefore part of the consolidated TRW tax return prior to merging with Endgate, TRW was able to utilize TRW Milliwave’s net operating losses in the consolidated income tax return of TRW for periods prior to March 31, 2000, leaving TRW Milliwave with no net operating loss carryforwards.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” (“SFAS 148”), the Company applies Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans and stock purchase plan. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation cost for stock options to employees granted at fair market value.

 

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period, and the estimated fair value of purchases under the employee stock purchase plan is expensed in the year of purchase as well as the stock-based employee compensation cost, net of related tax effects, that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards. The effects on pro forma disclosure of applying SFAS No. 123 are not likely to be representative of the effects on pro forma disclosure of future years.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of its employee stock options.

In connection with the grant of stock options to employees prior to the initial public offering, Endwave recorded deferred stock compensation within stockholders’ equity of approximately $20,218,000, representing the difference between the deemed fair value of the common stock for financial statement presentation purposes and the option exercise price of these options at the date of grant. Deferred stock compensation is amortized using the graded vesting method over the vesting period of the related options, generally four years. For employees that were terminated, the associated deferred compensation was reversed. The Company amortized approximately $512,000 and $1.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk

 

The estimated fair values of cash, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying value because of the short term nature of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, investments and trade accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

 

The Company sells its products primarily to wireless systems integrators and equipment manufacturers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have historically been immaterial and within management’s expectations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are due to the few number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base. The Company does not require collateral for trade accounts receivable, and, therefore, the Company could record losses up to $5.3 million as of March 31, 2003 if all of these customers fail to pay.

 

The Company does not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility and relies on the semiconductor fabrication facilities of Velocium and other third parties to manufacture substantially all of the gallium arsenide and other semiconductor devices incorporated in its products. The loss of the Company’s relationship with any of these third parties or the Company’s use of their semiconductor fabrication facilities, particularly Velocium’s facility, and any resulting delay or reduction in the supply of gallium arsenide devices, could impact the Company’s ability to fulfill customer orders and could damage its relationships with customers. In connection with the merger with TRW Milliwave, the Company entered into a supply agreement for these devices with TRW, which was subsequently renewed with Velocium, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of TRW that is now an operating unit of Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems. The Company expects to obtain a substantial portion of needed gallium arsenide devices from Velocium in the foreseeable future. The commercial terms of this agreement were renegotiated in March 2002 and the agreement expires December of 2005.

 

The Company may not be successful in forming alternative supply arrangements that provide a sufficient supply of gallium arsenide devices. Because there are limited numbers of third-party semiconductor fabrication facilities that use the particular process technologies the Company uses for its products and that have sufficient capacity to meet its needs, using alternative or additional third-party semiconductor fabrication facilities would require an extensive qualification process that could prevent or delay product shipments. Because the Company does not own or control any of these third party semiconductor suppliers, any change in the corporate structure or ownership of the corporations that own these foundries could have a negative effect on future relationships and ability to negotiate favorable supply agreements.

 

3. Restructuring Charge

 

As a result of a continued decline in overall economic conditions and further reductions in capital spending by telecommunications service providers, on February 28, 2002, the Company announced a restructuring plan designed to reduce operating expenses in order to further align resources with long-term growth opportunities.

 

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $3.5 million (“the First Quarter 2002 Plan”), the components of which were $1.1 million for severance payments, $310,000 for lease cancellations, and a non cash charge of $2.1 million for excess equipment, offset by a $142,000 adjustment for excess severance benefits. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, the Company eliminated 107 positions and made cash payments of $1.0 million under the First Quarter 2002 Plan. Of the 107 positions that were eliminated, 67 were in operations, 33 were in engineering and 7 were in sales, general and administration.

7. Notes Payable

 

On May 29, 2002, the Company obtained a loan, secured by fixed assets, in the amount of $1.5 million from U.S. Bancorp Finance Inc. This loan has a term of 3 years, and has a variable interest rate. The rate is 25 basis points above LIBOR and is set quarterly. The weighted average cost of the debt is approximately 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

 

8. Guarantees

 

The Company typically offers a one to two year warranty for all of its products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the specific customer agreement. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty, and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. The Company’s product warranty accrual reflects management’s best estimate of probably liability. Management determines the warranty based on historical experience and other current available evidence. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

 

Warranty accrual for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 was as follows (in thousands):

9. Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a prolonged industry downturn, or a significant reduction in projected future cash flows. Based on its evaluation performed in the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a charge of $2.4 million to reduce manufacturing equipment based on the amounts by which the carrying value of these assets exceeded their fair value. The evaluation took into consideration the move of production to the Company’s offshore supplier, which increased in the first quarter of 2003, and is expected to continue to increase through the end of 2003. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the assets was based on estimated salvage value. The assets are currently held for sale.

 

10. Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

Common equivalent shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible securities have been excluded from the net loss per share calculations as their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s reported net loss.

 

11. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company had $40,000 of other comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2003 resulting from unrealized gains on its available for sale investments. There were no other items of other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Nokia, located in Finland, was the only customer in Finland in 2003 and 2002. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in the aggregate or in the three geographical areas listed above.

 

13. Treasury Stock

 

In January 2002, the Company announced a plan to repurchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the company’s common stock. The repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 the Company did not repurchase any shares and during the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 17,125 shares for $54,000 under this repurchase program. To date, 39,150 shares have been repurchased for $79,000. Treasury stock is carried at cost in the condensed balance sheets.

 

14. Subsequent Events

 

On May 13, 2003, the Company announced the acquisition of certain assets of Verticom, Inc. The asset purchase included the product design for Verticom’s MTS-2000 synthesizer, which is used in a military and defense application, as well as the inventory, equipment and intellectual property licenses required to manufacture and supply production units to a new Endwave customer.

 

15. Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. These claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and other resources. The Company is not currently aware of any legal proceedings or claims, and management does not believe that the Company is subject to claims that would constitute material contingencies.

and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

The rapid and severe downturn for the United States economy and the telecommunications industry beginning in late 2000 has reduced the demand for our customers’ products and by extension our products. In addition to the weak domestic economic environment, the worldwide telecommunications market is experiencing reduced demand. This decreased demand has led to fluctuating order forecasts from many of our customers. There can be no certainty as to the degree of the severity or duration of this economic downturn or the decline in the telecommunications industry. We also cannot predict the extent and timing, if any, of the impact of the economic downturn in the United States and the worldwide downturn for the telecommunications industry on economies in Canada, Europe, Asia and other countries and geographic regions.

 

We depend, and expect to remain dependent, on a small number of wireless systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers, and major government contractors for sales of our products. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, sales attributable to Nokia, Siemens and DMC Stratex accounted for 62%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of our net sales during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, sales attributable to Nokia and Lockheed Martin accounted for 65% and 12%, respectively, of our net sales during the period.

 

In January 2002, we announced a plan to repurchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our stock. The repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. During 2002, we repurchased 39,150 shares for approximately $79,000. There were no repurchases under the plan during the first quarter of 2003.

 

In March 2002, we executed a renewal to our master supply agreement with Velocium, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of TRW that is now an operating unit of Northrop Grumman Space and Missions Systems Corp. The renewed contract expires on December 31, 2005. This renewal expands our access to Velocium’s custom wafer processing services, to state-of-the-art gallium arsenide technologies, products operating at lower frequency bands for wireless infrastructure applications, indium phosphide products for advanced applications and guaranteed pricing and purchase commitments.

 

During the first quarter of 2002, we commenced the implementation of an on-site inventory management program with Nokia. This program provides storage of Endwave finished goods at Nokia’s factory and allows Nokia to draw against this inventory based on their manufacturing needs. Revenues are recognized as Nokia draws the inventory from this stocking location.

 

On February 26, 2003, we announced the acquisition of certain broadband assets of Arcom Wireless Inc., a subsidiary of Dover Corporation for $55,000 in cash. The acquisition was structured as an asset purchase. The assets purchased included a transceiver design, equipment and intellectual property licenses required to manufacture and supply a 58 GHz integrated transceiver product to an existing customer. We expect to begin shipping product attributable to the acquired designs in the third quarter of 2003.

 

On March 25, 2003, we announced that we were selected by Siemens as a supplier of wireless transmitter/receiver (Tx/Rx) modules for the Siemens SRA L family of digital radios. Under the agreement, we will manufacture and supply Tx/Rx modules to Siemens for integration into production units of the SRA L radio to be deployed in certain markets within Europe in support of third generation (3G) mobile service deployments. Delivery of the transceiver units began in December 2002 and will continue into 2003.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002

 

Revenues

 

Product revenues were $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a 74% increase from $4.4 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 related to increased shipments to our most significant customers, especially to our largest customer, Nokia. Product revenues attributable to Nokia were 70% greater in the first three months of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, there was a decrease in the number of transceiver products sold to Nokia, as compared to prior periods, a result of implementing a consignment stock location at their production facilities.

Table of Contents

 

Development fees are generated by developing product prototypes and custom products pursuant to development agreements that provide for payment of a portion of our research and development or other expenses. The development fees of $60,000 recognized in the first three months of 2003 were primarily attributable to delivery of prototype units to several customers. There were no development fees the three months ended March 31, 2002. We do not expect development fees to constitute a significant portion of our revenues in the foreseeable future.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of product revenues. Cost of product revenues consists primarily of the costs of direct materials and labor utilized to assemble and test our products, costs associated with procurement, production control, quality assurance and manufacturing engineering, maintenance of our manufacturing facilities, transition to offshore manufacturing vendors, building and equipment depreciation, and costs associated with warranty returns. Cost of product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $7.0 million, an 8% increase in absolute dollars from $6.5 million for the same period in 2002. The 8% increase in cost of product revenues in absolute dollars is attributable to a 74% increase in product revenues. The cost of product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 also benefited from a decrease in inventory allowances of approximately $0.3 million related to inventory previously considered excess but which was subsequently sold during the period. The decrease in cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues is attributable to cost reduction programs that have been implemented during the last 12 months. These programs include elimination of excess equipment and capacity, reduction of manufacturing and overhead positions and introduction of cost-reduced product designs. We expect cost of product revenues as a percentage of sales to continue to decrease in the coming quarter as we introduce cost reduced designs into production and move more of our manufacturing activities to the facility of our offshore partner.

 

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses primarily include the costs of engineering personnel, outside services, prototyping materials and equipment depreciation. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $1.1 million, a 65% decrease from $3.1 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to cost containment efforts, work force reductions, and fewer development programs for technology and products. We expect research and development expenses to increase in the next quarter as a result of additional consulting and materials costs associated with a defense-related engineering project.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, sales, marketing, finance, accounting, information technology, facilities and human resources personnel, professional fees, bad debt expense and promotional activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $2.5 million, a 19% increase from $2.1 million for the same period in 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts and increased insurance costs, partially offset by cost reduction efforts and reduced staffing in each of the functional areas. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to remain consistent in the next quarter.

 

Restructuring charge. As a result of a continued decline in overall economic conditions and further reductions in capital spending by telecommunications service providers, on February 28, 2002, the Company announced a restructuring plan, designed to reduce operating expenses in order to align resources with long-term growth opportunities. This plan included the reduction of 107 positions, consolidation of excess facilities and charges related to excess property and equipment. As a result, a restructuring charge of approximately $3.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2002, the components of which were $1.1 million for severance payments, $310,000 for lease cancellations and $2.1 million for excess equipment offset by $490,000 resulting from settlement of lease obligations for vacated leased space in Sunnyvale, California. There were no restructuring charges recorded in the first quarter of 2003.

 

Amortization of deferred stock compensation. Deferred stock compensation charges consist of charges related to the difference between deemed fair market values on the date of employee option grants and the option price. Amortization of deferred stock compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $512,000 and $1.1 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to using an accelerated method to amortize deferred stock compensation that results in higher expense in earlier periods and the forfeiture of options by terminated employees. Amortization of deferred stock compensation will continue to decline each quarter, until it is fully amortized in June 2004.

 

Loss on building sublease. During the first quarter of 2003, we subleased 12,700 square feet of our Sunnyvale, California headquarter building to an unrelated third party. The rental income for the lease period is less than the rental expense that will be incurred, and therefore a loss at sublease inception of $662,000 was incurred.

Table of Contents

 

Impairment of long-lived assets. During the first quarter of 2003, we evaluated the carrying value of the long- lived assets utilized in our manufacturing process. As we move more of our production to our offshore partner, we do not need as much manufacturing equipment, and have therefore taken an impairment charge of $2.4 million for excess manufacturing equipment.

 

Interest and other income, net

 

Interest and other income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments offset by interest expense on capital equipment leases and notes payable. Interest and other income, net was $65,000 and $211,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $88,000, a 74% decrease from $340,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower interest rates, lower average invested cash balances and lower yields on interest-bearing investments. Interest expense represented interest on capital leases and a note payable collateralized by capital equipment. Interest expense decreased to $41,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $146,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as a result of a decreased number of capital equipment leases and overall lower interest rates.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of liquidity as of March 31, 2003 consisted of approximately $29.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments. In the three months ended March 31, 2003, we used $1.1 million for operating activities, as compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in the use of cash in operations was primarily due to a decrease in the net loss for the period, decrease in inventories, and an increase in accounts payable.

 

Investing activities provided $8.6 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to using $1.1 million in the same period in 2002. The increase in the proceeds of cash in investing activities was primarily due to sales of short-term investments.

 

Financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2003 used $446,000 of cash, as compared to $717,000 in the same period in 2002. The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003, consisted primarily of principal payments of lease obligations.

 

We believe that our existing cash and investment balances and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we could be required, or could elect, to raise additional funds during that period and we may need to raise additional capital in the future. Additional capital may not be available at all, or may only be available on terms unfavorable to us.

 

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We believe that there have been no material changes in our reported market risks faced since our report on market risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 under the heading corresponding to that set forth above. Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, as our investments in cash equivalents include investment grade commercial paper and government securities. We place our investments with high-quality issuers and attempt to limit when possible the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we do not believe we are subject to any material market risk exposure. We do not have any material equity investments, or foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

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

 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
