NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2002
1. Basis of presentation
The information at June 30, 2002 and for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, are unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which the Companys management believes to be
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Liquidation of the Company. On September 7, 2001, the Board of directors approved a plan to liquidate and dissolve the Company. Implementation of this plan would have required the approval of the
shareholders of the Company. The Board anticipated that, as part of the liquidation, the Company would distribute to its shareholders cash, Tripath Technology Inc. shares, plus any residual cash held by the Company at the end of the liquidation
period. Currently, the Company business activities consist primarily of continued sales of its universal serial bus controller device and core logic products for embedded designs.
On January 3, 2002, the Company announced the postponement of its voluntary liquidation and dissolution. The Companys Board determined that it would be prudent to
postpone the liquidation plan to allow the Company more time to evaluate its intellectual property position, including the means by which it would pursue claims for the potential infringement of certain ot it patents. The Board decision was not due
to any change in the Companys business prospects.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as
of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, were prepared under generally accepted accounting principles for a going concern entity and do not reflect changes in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilties which may be affected should
the shareholders approve a plan of liquidation of the Companys assets. Amounts that may be affected include those related to the carrying value of property, plant and equipment as well as possible adjustments of amounts related to other assets
and and liabilities of the Company including additional costs for severance.
2. Net income per share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

6. Concentrations
Major Customers and Credit Risks
The Company primarily sells to PC, motherboard and add-in card manufacturers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses have been within managements expectations. With the exception of sales to Holystone Enterprises, a Taiwan based company and Max Components, a Hong Kong based company no other single
customer represented more than 10% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2003. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company sold to Holystone Enterprises $958,000 in USB controllers, representing approximately 52% of net sales for the period.
Also in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company sold $411,000 of its USB controller to Max Components, representing an approximate 22% of net sales for that period.
Many of the Companys customers, particularly the motherboard manufacturers in Taiwan, operate at very low profit margins and undertake significant inventory risks. To
the extent the Company provides open terms of credit to some of the larger of these customers, the Company is exposed to significant credit risks if these customers are unable to remain profitable. Approximately 69% of the Companys receivables
at June 30, 2002 were with these customers.
Suppliers
The Companys reliance on independent foundries, packaging houses and test houses involves several risks, including the absence of
adequate capacity, the unavailability of or interruptions in access to certain process technologies and reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. At times during the first three quarters of 2000, the Company was unable
to meet the demand for certain ot its products due to limited foundry capacity and the Company expects that it will experience other production shortfalls or difficulties in the future. Because the Companys purchase orders with its outside
foundries are non-cancelable by OPTi, the Company is subject to inventory surpluses and has in the past experienced write-downs of inventories due to an unexpected reduction in demand for a certain product.
Products
The Companys product life cycles are typically very short and ramp into volume production very quickly. At any point in time, the Company may rely on a limited number of products for a significant share of the Companys
revenue. During fiscal 2003, the Company will be highly dependant on continued revenue contributions from its USB controller product. Any significant shortfall in sales for the Companys current volume products will have a material adverse
effect upon the Companys financials.

(losses) on marketable securities net of taxes.
8. Contingencies
The Company has been notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, maskwork rights, or copyrights owned by third parties. There
can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in litigation regarding the alleged infringements by the Company of third party intellectual property rights. However, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
9. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
10. Taxes
The Company recorded no tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The Company recorded a tax provision of approximately 4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 relating primarily to the federal
alternative minimum tax.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 amends
existing accounting guidance on asset impairment and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. Among other provisions, the new rules change the criteria for classifying an asset as held-for-sale. The standard also
broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting of discontinued operations, and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations. The provisions of SFAS 144 became effective for the Company on January 1,
2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
12. Distribution of Tripath Shares

Companys actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including product mix, the Companys ability to obtain or maintain design wins, market
conditions generally and in the electronics and semiconductor industries, product development schedules, competition and other matters. Readers are encouraged to refer to Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price found below in this
Item 2.
OPTi was founded in 1989 and is an independent supplier of semiconductor products to the personal
computer market. During 2001, the Company shipped more than two million core logic and peripheral products (such as USB controllers) to over 50 motherboard and add-on card manufacturers located primarily in Asia and the U.S.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed
throughout managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of this report on Form 10-Q requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Bad Debt
OPTi maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its
customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of OPTis customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Inventory
OPTi writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Contingencies
We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and
other claims related to labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves
required, if any, for these contingencies are made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy
in dealing with these matters.
Valuation of Certain Marketable Equity Securities
11
The Company currently classifies its investment securities as available-for-sale securities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 115
such securities are measured at fair market value in the financial statements with unrealized gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income until the securities are sold or otherwise disposed of. However, in accordance with SFAS No. 115 a
decline in fair market value below cost that is other than temporary is accounted for as a realized loss.
Fiscal 2003 Compared to Fiscal 2002Net revenues for the first quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $1,835,000, as compared to net revenues of $1,655,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase in net revenue for
the three month period ending June 30, 2002, as compared to the three month period ending June 20, 2001, was due to increased sales of the Companys USB controller chip. This increase in USB controller chips was primarily due to the inability to meet
customer demand for the quarter ending March 31, 2002, that the company shipped in the June 30, 2002 quarter. The Company was unable to meet customer demand in the March quarter due to an increase in lead time of wafers due to Chinese New Years at
our wafer fab.
Cost of product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased to $1,098,000 resulting in a
gross margin of approximately 40.2%, as compared to cost of sales of $ 956,000, and a product gross margin of approximately 42.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the similar period ended June 30, 2001 is primarily due to product mix.
The
Company had no research and development costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as compared with $285,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. In July 2001, the Company had a reduction in staff as it made the decision to terminate design efforts
on its existing projects. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had no research and development employees.
Selling,
general, and administrative costs were $633,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared with $801,000 in the comparable period of 2001. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative costs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002
as compared to the three-month period ending June 30, 2001 is primarily attributable to lower headcount related expenses.
Interest and other income, net was $1,601,000 and $436,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002 is primarily due to the gain
on the distribution of Tripath Technology, Inc. shares to our stockholders on May 30, 2002, of $1,544,000, offset in part, by a lower average cash balance, due to the payment of $17,451,000 during February 2002 as a cash dividend, and lower interest
rates.
The Companys recorded no tax provision during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The Company recorded
a tax provision of 4% in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 relating primarily to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased to $14,490,000 at June 30,
2002 from $17,679,000 at March 31, 2002. The decline in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $3.2 million from March 31, 2002 to June 30, 2002, primarily relates to the distribution of Tripath Technology, Inc. stock to
our shareholders made on May 30, 2002. Working capital as of June 30, 2002 decreased to $14,777,000 from $17,832,000 at March 31, 2002, this decrease also relates primarily to the asset dividend of Tripath Technology stock. During the first three
months of fiscal 2003, operating activities generated $0.1 million of cash. Cash generated from operating activities was primarily due to net income of $1,705,000 and a reduction in other assets of $448,000, partially offset by the gain on the
Tripath Technology, Inc stock of $1,544,000, a $210,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $117,000 increase in inventory, and a $261,000 decrease in accrued expenses. The Company had no investing activities during the the quarter ending June 30,
2002.
12
At June 30, 2002, the Companys principal sources of liquidity included
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $14.5 million and working capital of approximately $14.8 million. The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity will satisfy the Companys projected working
capital and other cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.
Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price
Cash and Stock Dividend
On February 15, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on each share of the Companys common stock. On May 30, 2002, the Company distributed a
dividend of 0.1666 shares of Tripath Stock on each share of the Companys common stock.
Plan of
Liquidation and Dissolution
On September 10, 2001, OPTi announced that its Board had approved a plan for the
complete liquidation and dissolution of OPTi, pending approval of the plan by its shareholders. On January 3, 2002, OPTi announced a postponement of its plan of voluntary liquidation and dissolution to allow the Company more time to evaluate its
intellectual property position, including the means by which it would pursue claims for the infringement of certain of its patents.
It is possible that the announcement of the plan of liquidation made in September, 2001 caused OPTis existing customers to seek substitutes for OPTi products from other suppliers, thereby causing the continuing decline
in OPTi product sales to accelerate. The announcement could also make it more difficult for OPTi to collect on accounts receivables.
In addition, the announcements could affect the trading volume and the price of OPTi stock as investors decide whether or not they wish to hold OPTi shares and receive the liquidating distributions OPTi expects to make if
and when shareholders approve the plan to liquidate and dissolve OPTi.
Listing of OPTi Common Stock on Nasdaq
As the trading price of our shares of common stock changes to reflect our February 2002 cash dividend and our
May 2002 distribution of the shares of stock that the Company held in Tripath Technology, Inc. our common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq National Market as long as we continue to meet Nasdaqs listing maintenance standards. If our
common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, trading, if any, would thereafter be conducted on the over-the-counter market in the so-called pink sheets or on the Electronic Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Consequently, if our common stock is delisted, shareholders may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our common stock. Of the Nasdaq requirements for continued listing, we believe
that our ability to meet the following criteria will determine how long our shares continue to trade on the Nasdaq National Market:
|
|
|
Our stockholders equity must equal or exceed $10 million or our net tangible asset must equal or exceed $4 million; and |
|
|
|
The minimum daily per share bid price for our stock must equal or exceed $1. |
With respect to the minimum bid price requirement, as of August 9, 2002 following our cash dividend and our distribution of Tripath shares, the closing sale price for our
shares was $1.15 per share. If we fail to meet Nasdaqs minimum bid price criterion for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify us that we are not meeting the requirement. We will then be given
13
a 90 day grace period during which our shares must exceed the minimum bid price for at least ten consecutive trading days for us to avoid being
delisted at the end of the grace period.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The Company has experienced significant fluctuations in its quarterly operating results in the past and expects that it will experience
such fluctuations in the future. In the past, these fluctuations have been caused by a variety of factors including increased competition from other suppliers, price competition, ongoing rapid price declines, changes in customer demand, the timing
of delivery of new products, inventory adjustments, changes in the availability of foundry capacity and changes in the mix of products sold. In the future, the Companys operating results in any given period may be adversely affected by one or
more of these factors.
Price Competition
The market for the Companys products are subject to severe price competition and price declines. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in reducing
its product costs rapidly enough to maintain or increase its gross margin level or that further substantial reduction in prices will not result in lower profitability or losses.
Changes in Customer Demand
The Company currently places non-cancelable orders to purchase products from independent foundries, while its customers generally place purchase orders with a significantly shorter lead time which may be canceled without significant
penalty. In the past, the Company has experienced order cancellations and deferrals and expects that it will experience cancellations in the future from time to time. Any such order cancellations, deferrals, or a shortfall in a receipt of orders, as
compared to order levels expected by the Company, could have a significant adverse effect on the Companys operating results in any given period.
Product Transitions and the Cessation of New Product Development
A substantial majority of the Companys net product sales is derived from its USB controller products. The market for USB controllers is characterized by frequent transitions in which this functionality can be and is
incorporated into other semiconductor devices, such as the core logic. As a result of the Companys decision to cease new product development and focus on the pursuit of licenses and patent infringement claims based upon our existing patented
technology, our net product sales can be expected to decline as the USB 1.1 controller market shifts to new technology created by our competitors.
Continued Sales of Current Products
The Companys
ability to maintain or increase its sales levels and profitability depends directly on its ability to continue to sale its existing products at current volumes. Any inability to continue sales at the current level could have an immediate and very
significant adverse effect on the trading price of the Companys stock. Investors in the Companys securities must be willing to bear the risks of such fluctuations.
Each of the product segments in which the Company offers products are intensely competitive and the Company must compete with entrenched competitors who have established
greater product breadth and distribution channels. The introduction of new products by our competitors can result in a greater than expected decline and demand for existing products and create an imbalance between products ordered by customers and
products which the Company has in inventory. This imbalance can result in surplus or obsolete inventory, leading to write-offs or other unanticipated costs or disruptions.
Customer Concentration
The
Company primarily sells product add-in card manufacturers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit
14
losses, and such losses have been within managements expectations. The Company expects that sales of its products to a relatively small
group of customers will continue to account for a high percentage of its net product sales in the foreseeable future, although the Companys customers in any one period will continue to change.
However, there can be no assurance that any of these customers or any of the Companys other customers will continue to utilize the
Companys products at current levels, if it all. The Company has experienced significant changes in the composition of its major customer base and expects that this variability will continue in the future. The loss of any major customer or any
reduction in orders by any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company has no long-term volume commitments from any of its major customers and generally enters into individual purchase orders with its customers. The Company has experienced cancellations of
orders and fluctuations in order levels from period to period and expects it will continue to experience such cancellations and fluctuations in the future. Customer purchase orders may be cancelled and order volume levels can be changed or delayed
with limited or no penalties. The replacement of cancelled, delayed or reduced purchase orders with new business cannot be assured. Moreover, the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations will depend in significant part
on its ability to obtain orders from new customers, as well as on the financial condition and success of its customers. Therefore, any adverse factors affecting any of the Companys customers or their customers could have a material effect on
the Companys business, financial condition and results of operation.
Credit Risks
Many of the Companys customers, particularly the motherboard manufacturers in Taiwan, operate at very low profit margins
and undertake significant inventory risks. To the extent the Company provides open terms of credit to some of the larger of these customers, the Company is exposed to significant credit risks if these customers are unable to remain profitable.
Approximately 69% of the Companys receivables at June 30, 2002 were with these customers.
Dependence on
Foundries and Manufacturing Capacity
Almost all of the Companys products are manufactured by outside
foundries pursuant to designs provided by the Company. In most instances, the Company provides foundries with a custom-tooled design (Custom Production), whereby the Company receives a finished die from the foundry which it sends to a
third party for cutting and packaging. This process subjects the Company to the risk of low production yields as the die moves through the production and packaging process. The Companys reliance on independent foundries, packaging houses, and
test houses involves several risks, including the absence of adequate capacity, the unavailability of or interruptions in access to certain process technologies and reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. At times in
the past, the Company was unable to meet the demand for certain of its products due to limited foundry capacity and the Company expects that it will experience other production shortfalls or difficulties in the future.
Because the Companys purchase orders with its outside foundries are non-cancelable by OPTi, the Company is subject to risks of, and
has in the past experienced, excess or obsolete inventory due to an unexpected reduction in demand for a particular product. The manufacture of its products is a complex process and the Company may experience short-term difficulties in obtaining
timely deliveries, which could affect the Companys ability to meet customer demand for its products. Should any of its major suppliers be unable or unwilling to continue to manufacture the Companys key products in required volumes, the
Company would have to identify and qualify acceptable additional foundries. This qualification process could take up to six months or longer. No assurances can be given that any additional sources of supply could be in a position to satisfy any of
the Companys requirements on a timely basis. The semiconductor industry experiences cycles of under-capacity and over-capacity which have resulted in temporary shortages of products in high demand. Any such delivery problems in the future
could materially and adversely affect the Companys operating results.
The Company began using Custom
Production in 1993. Custom Production requires that the Company provide foundries with designs that differ from those traditionally developed by the Company in its gate array production
15
and which are developed with specialized tools provided by the foundry. The use of Custom Production requires the Company to purchase wafers
from the foundry instead of finished products. As a result, the Company is required to increase its inventories and maintain inventories of unfinished products at packaging houses. The Company is also dependent on these packaging houses and third
party test houses for adequate capacity.
Dependence on Intellectual Property position
The success of the Companys current strategy of licensing its core logic technology can be affected by new developments
in intellectual property law generally and with respect to semiconductor patents in particular and upon the Companys success in defending its patent position. It is difficult to predict developments and changes in intellectual property law and
in advance, however such changes could have an adverse impact on the Companys ability to license its previously developed technology.
Possible Volatility of Stock Price
There can be no
assurances as to the Companys operating results in any given period. The Company expects that the trading price of its common stock will continue to be subject to significant volatility.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We
maintain our cash and cash equivalents primarily in money market funds. We do not have any derivative financial instruments. As of June 30, 2002, all of our investments mature in less than six months. Accordingly, we do not believe that our
investments have significant exposure to interest rate risk.
