PART I
 
Item 1.     Business
 
General
 
Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1976, and began by designing and marketing custom application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”) for various industrial customers. In particular, we were noted for our unique expertise in designing ASICs, which combined both analog and digital, or “mixed-signal”, technology. By 1988, we had adopted a strategy of developing proprietary integrated circuits (“ICs”) to capitalize on our complex mixed-signal design technology and pioneered the market for frequency timing generators or silicon timing devices which provide the timing signals or “clocks” necessary to synchronize high performance electronic systems. Clocks replaced the multiple crystal oscillators and other peripheral circuitry previously used to generate and synchronize timing signals, thus providing savings in board space, power consumption and cost. Our clock products were initially used in video graphics applications in personal computers (“PCs”), but subsequently expanded to include motherboards, PC peripheral devices such as disk drives, audio cards, laser printers and other digital consumer electronics such as digital set-top boxes and flat panel displays. We further extended into communications, which develops high performance clocking solutions supporting networking, telecommunication, workstation and server applications. Additionally, we now offer surface acoustic wave (“SAW”) technology to develop high performance products for optical networking and wireless infrastructure markets.
 
Our “first” initial public offering of common stock occurred in June 1991, at which time our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol ICST.
 
On May 11, 1999, we merged with ICS Merger Corp., a transitory merger company formed and wholly owned by the affiliates of Bain Capital, LLC and Bear, Stearns and Company Inc. We refer to this event as the recapitalization. We issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes and entered into a $95.0 million senior credit facility in connection with the recapitalization. Our common stock was no longer traded on the Nasdaq National Market. We no longer filed periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission until we filed the registration statement filed in connection with the exchange offer for the senior subordinated notes in October 1999.
 
On May 22, 2000, we completed our “second” initial public offering of 12.5 million shares of our common stock. We used the net proceeds of this initial offering to repay our bank debt, close our tender offer for subordinated notes, and pay the fees and expenses associated with the offering.
 
On May 31, 2001, a secondary offering took place, in which certain shareholders of the Company sold 11.3 million shares of our common stock to the public. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares in this secondary offering.
 
On January 4, 2002 we acquired Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC”) for $77.3 million, net of cash acquired. MNC is a supplier of a broad range of precision electronic devices and modules for optical networking wireless and broadband infrastructure, high-end network servers and defense electronic markets. We believe that by acquiring MNC we now have access to technology, that will enhance the performance of our silicon timing products in order to strengthen our position within existing strategic markets such as servers and storage systems. The purchase price includes $5.7 million in purchase accounting liabilities related to our preliminary plan to restructure the activities of MNC. The results of MNC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

Products and Product Applications
 
We supply a broad line of timing products for use in PC motherboard and peripheral applications. These silicon timing devices control multiple processes by providing and synchronizing the timing of the computer system, including signals from the video screen, graphics controller, memory, keyboard, microprocessor, disk drives and communication ports.
 
We also design, develop and market silicon timing devices for non-PC motherboard applications such as digital videodisk players, digital set-top boxes, digital cameras, laser printers, flat panel displays and digital TVs. Crystal oscillators have traditionally served the timing requirements of these products. Crystal oscillators are predominately quartz-based crystals that resonate at a single set frequency. In situations where a single clock can replace multiple crystal oscillators, clocks have emerged as both more cost-effective and technologically superior solutions than the crystal-based standard. We view the $3 billion crystal-based oscillator market as a future growth opportunity, as our clock products provide viable alternatives to the present crystal-based standard. Several application segments are leading the conversion from crystal oscillators to silicon timing devices, including digital set-top boxes, telecom and networking equipment and mass storage systems.
 
A significant growth area for clocks is communications. As the Internet usage expands, there is a need for increased bandwidth and infrastructure. These increased requirements are driving demands for silicon timing devices.
 
We also sell leading edge mixed-signal (analog and digital) integrated circuits customized to the specific requirements of a broad range of customers and applications. Custom mixed-signal products are used in medical, consumer and industrial applications. Custom mixed-signal integrated circuits are typically sold through development and product contracts of five years or more, which generally provide a minimum purchase commitment by the customer.
 
Micro Networks’ main frequency source product line includes fixed-frequency and voltage-controlled oscillators, phase-locked loops, synthesizers and clock distribution modules. The company’s SAW-based product offerings are narrow and wideband bandpass and band reject filters, switched filter banks and unity gain modules. SAW technology is also used for several oscillator-based products.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We market our products through a direct sales force that manages a worldwide network of independent sales representatives and distributors. We direct our sales efforts through offices in Norristown, PA, San Jose, CA, Worcester, MA, Taipei, Taiwan, Tokyo, Japan, Seoul, Korea and throughout Europe. We currently have more than 900 OEM end customers. Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd. and Maxtech Corporation Limited, overseas distributors in Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively, who are commonly controlled, accounted for 19% and 18% of our fiscal year 2002 revenue. These international distributors sell to approximately 140 OEM end customers.
 
Foreign sales are directly conducted by sales representatives and distributors located in the Pacific Rim and Europe, and managed by direct sales staff in the Europe, Taiwan and Japan sales offices. Foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and are subject to risks common to export activities, including governmental regulation and trade barriers.

Our backlog includes customer-released orders with firm schedules for shipment within the next twelve months. These orders may not be canceled generally without 45 days advance notice. Customer relationships are generally not subject to long-term contracts. Products delivery schedules are frequently revised to reflect changes in customer needs. For these reasons, our backlog at any particular date is not representative of actual sales for any succeeding period, and we believe that our backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future revenues.
 
Our revenues are subject to fluctuations primarily as a result of competitive pressures on selling prices, changes in the mix of products sold, the timing and success of new product introductions and the scheduling of orders by customers.
 
We generally warrant that our products will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a one-year period. Defective products returned to us within the warranty period are replaced or refunded after a confirming evaluation by our quality control staff. We have not experienced significant warranty claims to date.
 
Manufacturing
 
We qualify and utilize third party suppliers for the manufacture of silicon wafers. Most of our wafers currently are manufactured by outside suppliers, two of which supply the substantial majority of our wafers. The manufactured wafers are packaged primarily at four assemblers. We typically agree upon production schedules with our suppliers based on order backlog and demand forecasts for the approaching three-month period.
 
In addition we have production facilities in Worcester, MA and Auburn, NY. Worcester is our SAW wafer fabrication facility with sub-micron capabilities. Our Auburn facility houses the personnel for testing and assembly for the majority of our military and defense products. Low volume assembly is performed in-house while high volume is subcontracted out to off shore manufacturers.
 
We have our own test and drop-ship facility in Singapore’s Kolam Ayer Industrial Park to achieve faster delivery of our products to customers throughout the world. The Singapore facility handles wafer probe and final testing for various integrated circuits used in personal computers, data storage devices and other peripheral applications.
 
We believe that adequate capacity will be available to support our manufacturing requirements. Our reliance, however, on multiple, offshore, outside subcontractors involves several risks, including capacity constraints or delays in timely delivery and reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs. We are continuously seeking to obtain additional sources of supply and capacity for more advanced process technologies, although there can be no assurance that such additional sources and capacity can be obtained. The occurrence of any supply or other problems resulting from these risks could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
 
Research and Development
 
The design process for our products is extremely complex and iterative, involving the development of a prototype through computer-aided design, the use of simulation methodology, the generation of photo masks for the manufacturing process, the fabrication of wafers and the characterization of the prototype on test systems before submission to customers for qualification. Research and development efforts concentrate on the design and development of new leading-edge products for our markets and the continual enhancement of our design capabilities.
 
During fiscal year 2002, we have developed and introduced to market over 400 new products. For over twenty years, we have developed libraries of proprietary mixed-signal integrated circuit designs and

4


Table of Contents
 
have invested in extensive computer-aided design and engineering resources specifically designed to support the increasing complexity and customized nature of silicon timing devices. Our company’s SAW capabilities include a library of device design algorithms utilized by our engineers. Investments in research and development were approximately $29.2 million, $28.3 million and $24.8 million in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Such expenses typically include costs for engineering personnel, prototype and wafer mask costs, and investment in design tools and support overhead related to new and existing product development. As of June 29, 2002, our research and development staff comprised 133 people. We will continue to invest in research and new product development and invest in new technologies to support our current and future customers.
 
Patents, Licenses and Trademarks
 
We hold several patents, as well as copyrights, mask works, and trademarks with respect to our various products and expect to continue to file applications for the same in the future as a means of protecting our technology and market position. Most of our earlier patents carry a 20-year life and begin expiring in fiscal year 2010. In addition, we seek to protect our proprietary information and know-how through the use of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other security measures. To augment product feature sets or accelerate development schedules, we license certain technologies. No single license, however, is believed to be material to our business. In certain instances, we have performed design services pursuant to an agreement by which we transferred certain of our intellectual property rights in the final product to our customers. Such transfers are also not deemed material to our business. There can be no assurance, however, that these measures and/or others will be adequate to safeguard our interests or preserve our competitive position or protect us from allegations regarding potential patent infringement.
 
In connection with the purchase of MNC, we acquired $36.3 million of intangible assets based on an independent appraisal. Of this amount, $2.9 million was assigned to research and development assets that were written off at the date of acquisition. The remaining $33.4 million of intangible assets include a customer base valued at $12.0 million (6 year weighted-average useful life); a trade name valued at $3.0 million (indefinite useful life) and developed technology valued at $18.4 million (indefinite useful life).
 
As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we have, from time to time, been notified that we may be infringing certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others. Such matters are evaluated and reviewed with counsel. There can be no assurance that litigation will not be commenced in the future regarding any claim of infringement of any intellectual property right, or that, if required, any licenses or other rights could be obtained on acceptable terms.

Competition
 
In general, the semiconductor and PC component industries are intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological changes, price erosion, cyclical shortages of materials, and variations in manufacturing yields and efficiencies. Our ability to compete in this dynamic and opportunistic environment depends on factors both within and outside our control, including new product introduction, product quality, product performance and price, cost-effective manufacturing, general economic conditions, the performance of competition and the growth and evolution of the industry in general. There are several substantial entities, in the industry who are much larger than us and who could, and do, exert significant influence in determining the pace and key trends in the development of PCs and PC components. Moreover, some of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources. Competitors also include privately owned and emerging companies attempting to secure a share of the market for our products.

Our future operating results are likely to fluctuate and therefore may fail to meet expectations, which would cause our stock price to decline.
 
Our operating results have varied widely in the past and are likely to do so in the future. In addition, our operating results may not follow any past trends. Our future operating results will depend on many factors and may fail to meet our expectations for a number of reasons. Any failure to meet expectations could cause our stock price to significantly fluctuate or decline.
 
Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate that relate to our internal operations include:
 
 
 
the need for continual, rapid new product introductions;
 
 
 
changes in our product mix; and
 
 
 
our inability to adjust our fixed costs in the face of any declines in sales.
 
Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate that depend on our suppliers and customers include:
 
 
 
the timing of significant product orders, order cancellations and rescheduling;
 
 
 
the availability of production capacity and fluctuations in the manufacturing yields at third parties’ facilities that manufacture our devices; and
 
 
 
the cost of raw materials and manufacturing services from our suppliers.
 
Downturns in the business cycle could reduce our revenues and the profitability of our business.
 
The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and price erosion, evolving standards, short product life cycles and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. This industry has experienced significant downturns, which have been characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels, accelerated erosion of average prices, and industry-wide fluctuations in the demand for semiconductors, which have resulted in under-utilization of design capacity. Any future downturns could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Furthermore, any upturn in the semiconductor industry could result in increased demand for, and possible shortages of, components we use to manufacture and assemble our integrated circuits, or ICs. Such shortages could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
 
Our markets may experience severe and prolonged, downturns in the future. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (“SIA”), calendar year 2001 was the most severe year ever in the semiconductor industry, experiencing a 32% decline. However, sales began to turn towards the end of calendar year 2001 and the SIA is currently projecting a 6.3% growth for calendar year 2002 and 21% growth in calendar years 2003 and 2004.
 
The markets for our products depend on continued demand for PCs, communications equipment and consumer electronics. There can be no assurance that these end-user markets will not experience changes in demand that will adversely affect our business.
 
Our Inability to Introduce New Products Based on the Latest Technology Could Adversely Affect our Business
 
The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. Product life cycles are continually becoming shorter, which may cause the gross margins of semiconductor products to decline as the next generation of competitive products is introduced. Therefore, our future success is highly dependent upon our ability to continually develop new products using the latest and most cost-effective technologies, introduce our

7


Table of Contents
 
products in commercial quantities to the marketplace ahead of the competition and have our products selected for inclusion in products of leading systems manufacturers’ products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to regularly develop and introduce such new products on a timely basis or that our products, including recently introduced products, will be selected by systems manufacturers for incorporation into their products. Our failure to design and develop such new products, to have our products available in commercial quantities ahead of competitive products or to have our products selected for inclusion in products of systems manufacturers would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Rapidly changing technology and continuing process development characterize the market for communications applications. Our future success in the communications applications market depends in part on our ability to design and produce products that meet the changing needs of customers in this market. We can not assure you that we will be able to regularly develop and introduce products that will be selected by communications applications manufacturers for incorporation into their products.
 
Our business is very competitive and increased competition could adversely affect us.
 
The semiconductor and PC component industries are intensely competitive. Our ability to compete depends heavily upon elements outside our control, such as general economic conditions affecting the semiconductor and PC industries and the introduction of new products and technologies by competitors. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have significant financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources. These competitors include major multinational corporations possessing worldwide wafer fabrication and integrated circuit production facilities and diverse, established product lines. Competitors also include emerging companies attempting to obtain a share of the existing market for our current and proposed products. We also compete with alternative timing solutions, such as crystal oscillators. To the extent that PCs, communications equipment and consumer electronics OEMs choose to install crystal oscillators as timing devices in their products, demand for our products may decline. To the extent that our products achieve market acceptance, competitors typically seek to offer competitive products or embark on pricing strategies, which, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.
 
We depend on the PC Industry and our business could be adversely affected by a decline in the PC market.
 
A substantial portion of the sales of our products depends largely on sales of PCs and peripherals for PCs. The PC industry is subject to price competition, rapid technological change, evolving standards, short product life cycles and continuous erosion of average selling prices. Should the PC market decline or experience slower growth, then a decline in the order rate for our products could occur. A downturn in the PC market could also affect the financial health of some of our customers, which could affect our ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable from such customers.
 
Our inability to obtain wafers and assemblers could seriously affect our operations.
 
We currently depend upon third-party suppliers for the manufacture of the silicon wafers from which our finished integrated circuits are manufactured and for the packaging of finished integrated circuits from silicon wafers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate quantities of processed silicon wafers within a reasonable period of time or at commercially reasonable rates. In the past, the semiconductor industry has experienced disruptions from time to time in the supply of processed silicon wafers due to quality or yield problems or capacity limitations. Two outside foundries manufacture virtually all of our wafers. If one or more of these foundries is unable or unwilling to produce adequate supplies of processed wafers on a timely basis, it could cause significant delays and expense in locating a new foundry and redesigning circuits to be compatible with the new manufacturer’s

8


Table of Contents
 
processes and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We also rely upon third parties for the assembly of our finished integrated circuits from processed silicon wafers. We currently rely on four assemblers, two of which produce most of our finished integrated circuits. While we believe that there is typically a greater availability of assemblers than silicon wafer foundries, we could nonetheless incur significant delays and expense if one or more of the assemblers upon which we currently rely are unable or unwilling to assemble finished integrated circuits from silicon wafers.
 
If we lose any customers, our sales could decline.
 
Our 10 largest OEM end customers accounted for approximately 52% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2002. Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd. and Maxtech Corporation Limited, overseas distributors in Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively, who are commonly controlled, accounted for 19% and 18% of our fiscal year 2002 revenue. These international distributors sell to approximately 140 OEM end customers. Because we are dependent upon continued revenue from OEM end customers, any material delay, cancellation or reduction of orders from these or other major customers could cause our sales to decline significantly. There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain any of our customers. In addition, our customers may materially reduce the amount of product ordered from us at any time. This could cause a significant decline in our net sales and we may not be able to reduce the accompanying expenses at the same time.
 
If we fail to accurately forecast demand for our products, we may have large amounts of unsold products or we may not be able to fill all orders.
 
We provision semiconductors based primarily on our internal forecasts, and secondarily on existing orders, which may be cancelled under many circumstances. Consequently, we depend on our forecasts to determine inventory levels for our products. Because our markets are volatile and subject to rapid technological and price changes, our forecasts may be wrong, and we may make too many or too few of certain products. Also, our customers frequently place orders requesting product delivery almost immediately after the order is made, which makes forecasting customer demand even more difficult. The above factors also make it difficult to forecast quarterly operating results. If we are unable to predict accurately the appropriate amount of product required to meet customer demand, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
 
Our business could be adversely affected by changes in political and economic conditions abroad.
 
For the fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000, we generated approximately 78.6%, 71.0% and 70.7% of our revenue, respectively, from international markets. These sales were generated primarily from customers in the Pacific Rim region and included sales to foreign corporations, as well as to foreign subsidiaries of U.S. corporations. Certain of our international sales are to customers in the Pacific Rim region, who in turn sell some of their products to North America, Europe and other non-Asian markets. In addition, two of our wafer suppliers and all of our assemblers are located in the Pacific Rim region. There can be no assurance that the effect of an economic crisis on our suppliers will not impact our wafer supply or assembly operations, or that the effect on our customers in that region will not adversely affect both the demand for our products and the collectibility of our receivables. Our international business activities in general are subject to a variety of potential risks resulting from certain political, economic and other uncertainties including, without limitation, political risks relating to a substantial number of our customers being in Taiwan. Certain aspects of our operations are subject to governmental regulations in the countries in which we do business, including those relating to currency conversion and repatriation, taxation of our earnings and earnings of our personnel, and our use of local employees and suppliers. Our operations are also subject to the risk of changes in laws and

9


Table of Contents
 
policies in the various jurisdictions in which we do business, which may impose restrictions on us. We cannot determine to what extent our future operations and earnings may be affected by new laws, new regulations, changes in or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations or other consequences of doing business outside the U.S. Our activities outside the U.S. are subject to additional risks associated with fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange, even though business is denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, worldwide semiconductor pricing is influenced by currency fluctuations and the devaluation of foreign currencies could have a significant impact on the prices of our products if our competitors offer products at significantly lower prices in an effort to maximize cash flows to finance short-term, dollar denominated obligations; such devaluation could also impact the competitive position of our customers in Taiwan and elsewhere, which could impact our sales. Currently, we do not engage in currency hedging activities as all transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.
 
We may make acquisitions, which could subject us to a number of operational risks.
 
In order to grow our business and maintain our competitive position, we may acquire other businesses in the future. We cannot predict whether or when any acquisitions will occur. Acquisitions commonly involve certain risks, and we cannot assure you that any acquired business will be successfully integrated into our operations or will perform as we expect. Any future acquisitions could involve certain other risks, including the assumption of additional liabilities, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Furthermore, we may issue equity securities or incur debt to pay for any future acquisitions. If we issue equity securities, your percentage of ownership of our company would be reduced. If we issue debt securities, our financial condition may be strained by the requirement to pay interest and other debt-related costs. In addition, our operations may be restricted by the covenants associated with these debt securities. We may also enter into joint venture transactions. Joint ventures have the added risk that the other joint venture partners may have economic, business or legal interests or objectives that are inconsistent with our interests and objectives. We may also have to fulfill our joint venture partners’ economic or other obligations if they fail to do so.
 
Our inability to secure and protect our intellectual property, and/or the effort of third parties to enforce their own intellectual property rights against us, has in the past resulted and may in the future result in costly and time-consuming litigation.
 
We hold several patents as well as copyrights, mask works and trademarks with respect to various products and expect to continue to file applications for them in the future as a means of protecting our technology and market position. In addition, we seek to protect our proprietary information and know-how through the use of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other similar security measures. With respect to patents, there can be no assurance that any applications for patent protection will be granted, or, if granted, will offer meaningful protection. Additionally, there can be no assurance that competitors will not develop, patent or gain access to similar know-how and technology, or reverse engineer our products, or that any confidentiality agreements upon which we rely to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information will be adequate to protect our proprietary technology. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Patents covering a variety of semiconductor designs and processes are held by various companies. We have from time to time received, and may in the future receive, communications from third parties claiming that we may be infringing certain of such parties’ patents and/or other intellectual property rights. Any infringement claim or other litigation against or by us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents
Virtually all of our key engineers worked at other companies or at universities and research institutions before joining us. Disputes may arise as to whether technology developed by such engineers was first discovered when they were employed by or associated with other institutions in a manner that would give third parties rights to such technology superior to our rights, if any. Disputes of this nature may arise in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will prevail in these disputes. To the extent that consultants, vendors or other third parties apply technological information independently developed by them or by others to our proposed products, disputes may also arise as to the proprietary rights to such information, which may not be resolved in our favor.
 
Loss of certain key members of our management or inability to attract and retain skilled personnel could negatively impact our business prospects.
 
We are dependent upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical and managerial personnel. We do not maintain “key man” life insurance on Mr. Tan or any of our other technical or managerial personnel. We believe that our future success in developing marketable products and achieving a competitive position will depend in large part upon whether we can attract and retain skilled personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to successfully develop new and enhanced products and to continue to grow and operate profitably. Furthermore, retention of technical and engineering personnel in our industry typically requires us to present competitive compensation packages, including stock option grants.
 
Some of our products may be subject to product liability claims.
 
Certain of our custom integrated circuits products are sold into medical markets for applications, such as hearing aids. In certain cases, we have provided or received indemnities with respect to possible third-party claims arising from these products. Although we believe that exposure to third-party claims has been minimized, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to third-party claims in these or other applications or that any indemnification or insurance available to us will be adequate to protect us from liability. A product liability claim, product recall or other claim, as well as any claims for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Provisions of our charter documents and Pennsylvania law could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay, deter or prevent a change in control.
 
Provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws may inhibit changes in control of our company not approved by our board of directors and would limit the circumstances in which a premium may be paid for the common stock in proposed transactions, or a proxy contest for control of the board may be initiated. These provisions provide for:

acquisition of 20% or more of the common stock is approved by our board of directors. This provision may discourage potential acquisition proposals and limit the circumstances in which a premium may be paid for our company.
 
The stock prices of technology companies such as ours are highly volatile and could drop unexpectedly.
 
The public markets have experienced volatility that has particularly affected the market prices of securities of many technology companies for reasons that have often been unrelated to operating results. During the course of the preceding twelve months ended June 29, 2002 the market price of our common stock traded within a range of $9.67 to $27.09 per share. This volatility may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our visibility and credibility in the markets.
 
Employees
 
As of June 29, 2002, we had 512 full-time employees, 133 of whom were engaged in research and development, 44 in sales, 24 in marketing and technical support, 65 in finance and administration and 246 in manufacturing support and operations. We have incentive programs to reward and retain our personnel, especially our key research and development staff.
 
Item 2.    Properties
 
Our corporate headquarters, covering 61,000 square feet, is located in Norristown, Pennsylvania. The lease term is eight years with monthly rent beginning at approximately $51,000 for the first year and progressively increasing each year to approximately $63,000 in the eighth year. We also have a renewal option of three or more years after the initial eight-year term.
 
We opened a 10,000 square foot design facility in Tempe, Arizona in January 2000. The lease term for this facility is five years with monthly rent beginning at approximately $9,300 for the first year and progressively increasing each year to approximately $10,100 in the fifth year.
 
We utilize a facility located in Singapore for testing, warehousing, sales and administration, which consists of 21,000 square feet of space leased pursuant to an agreement, which expires in August 2003. The rent for this facility is approximately $19,000 per month.
 
Our San Jose operations consist of 70,000 square feet of office space pursuant to a new lease agreement, which will expire in December 2008. We believe that this new facility is adequate to meet our requirements going forward. Monthly rent began at $100,100 per month, increasing annually to approximately $130,608 per month in 2008.
 
Our Worcester, Massachusetts facility consists of 86,200 square feet of office space leased pursuant to an agreement, which expires in December 2010 with monthly rent of approximately $39,400, progressively increasing each year to approximately $48,000 in the tenth year, with an option to renew for two more terms of 5 years.
 
Our Bloomfield, Connecticut facility consists of 17,425 square feet of office space leased pursuant to an agreement, which expires in October 2001 with monthly rent of approximately $6,170.
 
Our Auburn, New York facility, which is primarily our defense production location, consists of 21,533 square feet. This property was purchased in March of 1998.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, various inquiries, potential claims and charges and litigation are made, asserted or commenced by or against us, principally arising from or related to contractual relations and possible patent infringement. We believe that any of these claims currently pending, individually and in the aggregate, have been adequately reserved and will not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, although no assurance can be made in this regard.
 
On March 28, 2001, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress”), filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Delaware federal court against us (“Delaware Lawsuit”). On April 4, 2001, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit in California federal court against Cypress (“California Lawsuit”). On July 20, 2001, Cypress filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (“ITC”), against us for infringement of one patent, and on November 5, 2001, we filed a complaint with the ITC against Cypress for infringement of two patents (collectively, “ITC Actions”). After we filed the second Motion for Summary Determination in the ITC Actions, which were consolidated, we and Cypress resolved all litigation between ourselves. We have accrued the cost of this settlement as of June 29, 2002. On August 15, 2002, the Delaware Lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. On August 23, 2002, the California Lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. On or about August 26, 2002, the Judge in the ITC Actions granted the Joint Motion to Terminate the Investigation. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, we are no longer engaged in any litigation with Cypress.

We have not in the past, and do not expect for the foreseeable future to pay, dividends on our common stock. Instead, we anticipate that all of our earnings in the foreseeable future will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Our existing term loan restricts our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and contractual restrictions.
 
As of June 29, 2002, we had 67.2 million shares outstanding.

On January 4, 2002, we acquired Micro Networks Corporation. The acquisition resulted in a charge of $2.9 million related to the write-off of in-process research and development costs. On May 11, 1999, we merged with ICS Merger Corp., a transitory merger company formed and wholly owned by the affiliates of Bain Capital, LLC and Bear, Stearns and Company Inc. (the “Equity Investors”). We refer to this event as the recapitalization. In connection with the recapitalization, we recorded a compensation charge of $15.1 million related to the accelerated vesting, cash-out and conversion of employee stock options.

We issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes in connection with the recapitalization and entered into a $95.0 million senior credit facility. On May 22, 2000, we completed our initial public offering (IPO) of 12.5 million shares of our common stock. We used the net proceeds of this initial offering to repay our bank debt, close our tender offer for subordinated notes, and pay the fees and expenses associated with the offering.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
We design, develop and market silicon timing devices that emit timing signals used to sequence and synchronize electronic operations to ensure that information is interpreted at the right time and speed. Our silicon timing devices are used in computing systems, such as PCs, workstations, disk drives and printers, as well as in a wide range of digital consumer products, such as digital set-top boxes, HDTVs, DVD players, MP3 players, digital audio and imaging products and video game consoles. Increasingly, our silicon timing devices are also being used in products within the communications infrastructure industry, including Internet backbone, access and networking equipment, such as optical switches, routers, cable and DSL modems, servers and storage area networks. All digital devices require a timing signal and those with any degree of complexity require silicon timing devices to time and synchronize their various operations. Additionally, we now offer surface acoustic wave (“SAW”) technology to develop high performance products for optical networking and wireless infrastructure markets.
 
Prices for our products are predominantly a function of their position in the product life cycle, design complexity, competitive environment, the price of alternative solutions such as crystal oscillators and overall market demand. We recognize revenue upon shipment, and substantially all of our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements.
 
Significant Transactions
 
Acquisition of Micro Networks Corporation
 
On January 4, 2002 we acquired Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC”) for $77.3 million, net of cash. We believe that by acquiring MNC we now have access to technology, that will enhance the performance of our silicon timing products in order to strengthen our position within existing strategic markets such as servers and storage systems. The purchase price includes $5.7 million in purchase accounting liabilities related to our preliminary plan to restructure the activities of the acquired entity. The results of MNC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
 
Secondary Public Offering
 
In May 2001, a secondary offering took place, in which certain shareholders of the Company sold 11.3 million shares of our common stock to the public. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares in this secondary offering.
 
Initial Public Offering
 
On May 22, 2000, we completed our initial public offering (IPO) of 12.5 million shares of our common stock. We used the net proceeds of this initial offering to repay our bank debt, close our tender offer for our subordinated notes and pay the fees and expenses associated with the offering and the tender offer.
 
The Recapitalization
 
In our May 1999 recapitalization affiliates of Bain Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Bear Stearns and Co., Inc. and certain members of management made an aggregate equity investment in our Company of approximately $50 million as part of agreements to redeem and purchase all of our outstanding publicly held shares of common stock and vested options for consideration (including fees and expenses) totaling $294.4 million.

Fiscal Year 2002, as Compared to Fiscal Year 2001
 
Revenue.    Total revenue for fiscal year ended June 29, 2002, decreased by $5.6 million to $182.7 million as compared to the previous year. The decrease is primarily due to the decline in end market demand, which affected overall revenue and was offset by the acquisition of Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC”) in the March quarter. Although we have experienced stabilization in our average selling prices for the second half of fiscal year 2002, the average selling price declined 6.8% while volume increased 4.0%.
 
Foreign revenue, which includes shipments of integrated circuits to foreign companies as well as offshore subsidiaries of US multinational companies, was 78.6% of total revenue for fiscal year 2002 as compared to 71.0% of total revenue in the prior year. The increase in foreign revenue as a percentage of total revenue was due to declining domestic sales as our customers have responded to tight markets by moving portions of their manufacturing operations to overseas markets with lower labor costs and increased European sales due to the addition of MNC. Certain of our international sales were to customers in the Pacific Rim, which in turn sold some of their products to North America, Europe and other non-Asian markets.
 
Gross Margin.    Cost of sales increased $4.3 million to $76.3 million for fiscal year 2002, as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 58.2% for fiscal year 2002 as compared to 61.8% in the prior year. The overall decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is due to product mix. In addition the non-recurring charge of $1.3 million related to the fair value adjustment to inventory that was acquired in connection with the acquisition of MNC and sold during fiscal year 2002 further reduced margins.
 
Research and Development Expense.    Research and development expense increased $0.9 million to

17


Table of Contents
$29.2 million for fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, research and development increased to 16.0% as compared to 15.0% in fiscal year 2001. The increase in research and development in dollar terms is the result of the acquisition of MNC, offset slightly by the impact of company wide cost saving initiatives.
 
Selling, General, Administrative and Other.    Selling, general, administrative and other expense, including amortization of intangibles and management fees, increased $11.4 million to $33.2 million for fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general, administrative and other expenses increased to 18.1% of revenue as compared to 11.6% in the prior year period. The increase is attributable to the purchase of MNC and increased legal fees associated with certain patent litigation. In addition, due to a conclusion in certain patent litigation, expenses related to this litigation were charged against selling, general, administrative and other expense. During fiscal year 2001 selling, general, administrative and other expense was offset by the receipt of $2.0 million in insurance proceeds received in relation to litigation charges incurred during fiscal year 2000. Excluding this litigation-related item, selling, general, administrative and other expense had increased as a percentage of revenue to 18.1% in fiscal year 2002, compared to 12.6% in fiscal year 2001.
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we ceased the amortization of goodwill beginning July 1, 2001. Instead, we will, at least annually, review the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets. We had $0.2 million in amortization expense during fiscal year 2001.
 
In Process Research and Development.    In connection with the acquisition of MNC, we incurred a one-time charge of $2.9 million for the write-off of in process research and development during fiscal year 2002.
 
The value of in-process research and development was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such projects and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The discount rate includes a risk-adjusted discount rate to take into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process technology.
 
Operating Income.    In dollar terms, operating income was $41.1 million in fiscal year 2002 compared to $66.2 million in the prior year period. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 22.5% and 35.2% in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2001, respectively.
 
Interest and Other Income.    Interest and other income was $3.2 million for fiscal year ended June 29, 2002 and $3.6 million in the prior year period. Although we have a greater cash balance available for investing, the overall decrease in federal rates over the past year has affected our investment income.
 
Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $1.1 million in fiscal year 2002 and $0.2 million in fiscal year 2001. The increase in expense is due to the $45.0 million term debt incurred in order to purchase MNC.
 
Income Tax Expense.    Our effective tax rate was 12.4% and 18.9% for fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2002 and 2001 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income for five years. We have filed an extension for the pioneer status. The tax rate dropped in fiscal year 2002 as we had increased income from our Singapore facility. We do not currently calculate

18


Table of Contents
deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $36.3 million liability as of June 29, 2002.
 
Fiscal Year 2001, as Compared to Fiscal Year 2000
 
Revenue.    Total revenue for fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, increased by $22.8 million to $188.3 million as compared to the similar period in the previous year. The 13.8% increase is principally attributable to strong demand for our PC motherboard and digital set-top box products. The average selling price declined 7.2%, while the volume increased 22.6%.
 
Foreign revenue (which includes shipments of integrated circuits to foreign companies as well as offshore subsidiaries of US multinational companies) was 71.0% of total revenue for fiscal year 2001 as compared to 70.7% of total revenue in the prior year period. Certain of our international sales were to customers in the Pacific Rim, which in turn sold some of their products to North America, Europe and other non-Asian markets.
 
Gross Margin.    While total revenues increased $22.8 million, cost of sales only increased $5.9 million to $72.0 million for fiscal year 2001, as compared to the prior year period. This was the result of material cost savings in the manufacturing processes and favorable product mix trends. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 61.8% for fiscal year 2001 as compared to 60.1% in the prior year period.
 
Research and Development Expense.    Research and development expense increased $3.5 million to $28.3 million for fiscal year 2001 as compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, research and development remained flat at 15.0% as compared to fiscal year 2000. The increase in spending is attributable to our continued expansion into supporting networking, telecommunications, workstations and server applications.
 
Selling, General, Administrative and Other.    Selling, general, administrative and other expense, including goodwill amortization and management fees, decreased $1.8 million to $21.8 million for fiscal year 2001 as compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.6% of revenue as compared to 14.3% in the prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the inclusion of a $4.0 million charge incurred in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit during fiscal year 2000. In addition, fiscal year 2001 is net of $2.0 million in insurance proceeds received in relation to this litigation. Excluding these two litigation-related items, selling, general, administrative and other expense had increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.6% in fiscal year 2001, compared to 11.8% in fiscal year 2000. This increase is primarily due to the amortization, in fiscal year 2001, of deferred compensation relating to options granted in the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 and variable expense relating to increased revenue. Goodwill amortization also remained flat at $0.2 million for both periods presented.
 
Operating Income.    In dollar terms, operating income was $66.2 million in fiscal year 2001 compared to $50.9 million in the prior year period. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 35.2% and 30.8% in fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2000, respectively.
 
Interest and Other Income.    Interest and other income was $3.6 million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and $1.2 million in the prior year period. An increase in cash flows from operations has contributed to greater cash balances available for investing.

19


Table of Contents
Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $0.2 million in fiscal year 2001 and $16.5 million in fiscal year 2000. As a result of the repayment of debt with the net proceeds of our initial public offering, our cost of borrowings has decreased.
 
In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we paid down all the outstanding debt, which we had incurred as a result of the May 1999 recapitalization. As a result, in fiscal year 2000 we recorded extraordinary losses on the early extinguishments of debt resulting from the write-off of debt issuance costs and the incurrence of prepayment penalties associated with the repurchase of our senior subordinated notes of $11.7 million and $15.4 million ($7.2 million and $9.6 million net of tax), respectively. There were no extraordinary items in fiscal year 2001. We purchased $2.0 million of our senior subordinated notes below par in September 1999, resulting in a gain of $36,000 net of income taxes, and $5.0 million below par in November 1999 resulting in a gain of $134,000 net of income taxes.
 
Income Tax Expense.    Our effective tax rate related to income from continuing operations was 18.9% and 11.9% for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense caused profitability in the U.S. to increase, resulting in a rise in the consolidated tax rate. The effective tax rate for fiscal years 2001 and 2000 reflects the tax-exempt status of our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income for five years. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $25.2 million liability as of June 30, 2001.

At June 29, 2002, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and investments of $110.5 million as compared to the June 30, 2001 balance of $94.4 million. The cash and investments include amounts, which have been permanently reinvested into the Singapore operations. If we were to repatriate these amounts, they would be subject to US Federal Income Tax. Net cash provided by operating activities was $63.0 million in fiscal year 2002, as compared to $71.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in operating income. Our days sales outstanding decreased from 71 days in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 to 47 days in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. With the acquisition of MNC affecting inventory balances, inventory turns decreased from 5.17 times in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 to 4.72 times respectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002.
 
Purchases for property and equipment were $3.4 million in fiscal year 2002 as compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period. These expenditures were primarily to support our testing facility in Singapore and the manufacturing facility in Worcester, MA acquired with MNC.
 
In September, we announced a repurchase program, which authorized the purchase, from time to time, of 2.0 million shares of our common stock on the market. As of June 29, 2002, we had purchased 655,000 shares for $7.8 million.
 
In June 2000, we obtained a $30.0 million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank to expire in June 2002, with an option to extend the facility for an additional period subject to certain covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios. At the beginning of the third quarter, we terminated this credit facility and entered into a new facility as discussed below.
 
In connection with the acquisition of MNC, we entered into a new revolving credit and term loan facility dated December 31, 2001, which will expire December 31, 2004. The new facility enables us to draw

down $45.0 million under the term loan and $10.0 million under the revolving credit facility. At our option, the interest rates under the term loan will be either (1) a base rate, which is the higher of (i) a rate of interest announced from time to time by the lenders’ administrative agent as the base rate (“Base Rate”) or (ii) the sum of 0.5% per annum plus the federal funds rate or (2) London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%. At our option, the interest rates under the Revolving Credit Loan, will be either (1) the Base Rate or (2) the LIBOR Rate plus a pre-formulated margin. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2002, we paid down $3.0 million of the term loan. As of June 29, 2002, $42.0 million was outstanding on our term loan; $13.5 million of this is classified current.

Operating leases primarily consist of leased facilities that we utilize in various locations.
 
Certain of our loan agreements require the maintenance of specified financial ratios and impose financial limitations as well as a restriction on paying dividends. At June 29, 2002, we were in compliance with the covenants.
 
On January 4, 2002, we acquired MNC for $77.3 million, net of cash on hand. The purchase price includes $5.7 million in purchase accounting liabilities related to our preliminary plan to restructure the activities of the acquired entity. The results of MNC have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, and accordingly, goodwill of approximately $40.9 million was recorded as part of the transaction.
 
In fiscal year 2001, we entered into an Investment and Stock Trade Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd (“Maxtek”), an overseas distributor in Taiwan. We invested $4.0 million and own approximately 10% of Maxtek. The Agreement states that if Maxtek fails to successfully complete a public offering by December 5, 2005, we, at our sole option, have the right to demand immediate repurchase of all 4.0 million shares, at the original purchase price plus accrued annual interest (commercial rate set by the Central Bank of China) during the said period. Maxtek, our overseas distributor for our PC business in Taiwan and China, represented approximately 19% of our sales for fiscal year 2002, and 13% in the prior year period. Additionally, sales to Maxtech Corporation Limited (“Maxtech”), an entity which is commonly controlled by the owners’ of Maxtek, were 18% of our sales in fiscal year 2002 and 10% in the prior year period. These international distributors sell to approximately 140 OEM end customers.
 
We believe that the funds on hand together with funds expected to be generated from our operations as well as borrowings under our bank revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, we may need to raise additional funds in future periods to fund our operations and potential acquisitions.

21


Table of Contents
We may also consider conducting future equity or debt financings if we perceive an opportunity to access the capital markets on a favorable basis, within the next twelve months or thereafter. Any such additional financing, if needed, might not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Failure to raise capital when needed could seriously harm our business and results of operations. If additional funds were raised through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, the percentage of ownership of our shareholders would be reduced. Furthermore, such equity securities or convertible debt securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies”, we have identified below some of the accounting principles critical to our business and results of operations. We determined the critical principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We state these accounting policies in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements contained herein. In addition, we believe our most critical accounting policies include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
Accounts Receivable
 
We maintain reserves for uncollectible accounts. Our reserve for uncollectible accounts is based on i) our specific assessment of the collectibility of all significant accounts greater than 90 days past due, ii) our general estimate of the rate of default for all accounts less than 90 days past due and iii) any specific knowledge we have acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible, regardless of age. The facts and circumstances of each account may require us to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectibility.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first in, first out (FIFO) method. We record a reserve for obsolete and unmarketable inventory based on assumptions of future demand and market conditions. Because many of our products have multiple applications and serve volatile markets, the recent sales history of any one product is not necessarily indicative of the future demand for such product. The reserve for obsolete and unmarketable inventory is therefore based on the Company’s collective judgment regarding the realistic and potential future demand for each product and is inherently subjective. The fact that our products have a substantial shelf life and low holding costs increase the subjectivity because these factors extend the time frame in which we could potentially recover the costs of each product. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired from business acquisitions. Prior to July 1, 2001, our goodwill was amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of seven years. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, addresses, among other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recorded in the financial statements. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized. Beginning July 1, 2001, we ceased the amortization of goodwill. Instead, we will, at least annually, review the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets. In assessing recoverability, many factors are considered, including historical and forecasted operating results and cash flows of the acquired businesses. After consideration of these factors, we will determine whether or not there is an impairment to goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets. In addition if an

22


Table of Contents
intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, the asset shall be tested for impairment and that intangible asset shall then be amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization.
 
In connection with the purchase of MNC, we acquired $36.3 million of intangible assets based on an independent appraisal. Of this amount, $2.9 million was assigned to research and development assets that were written off at the date of acquisition. The remaining $33.4 million of intangible assets include a customer base valued at $12.0 million (six year weighted-average useful life); a trade name valued at $3.0 million (indefinite useful life) and developed technology valued at $18.4 million (indefinite useful life). The initial and continuing valuation of these assets and the assessment of their useful lives was based on subjective conclusions drawn from the characteristics of each intangible asset. We have assigned indefinite lives to the acquired trade name and the developed technology because in our judgment there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors to limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. If we had determined that there were factors that would limit the lives of these assets, we would have amortized these assets over their estimated useful lives. The effect of this amortization might have resulted in a significant change to our financial statements based on the value of these intangible assets and dependent upon the useful lives we would have assigned to these assets.
 
Revenues
 
Revenues from product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customer. We offer a right of return to certain customers. Allowances are established to provide for estimated returns at the time of sale. Revenues from sales to distributors are made under agreements allowing price protection and rights of return on unsold products. We recognize sales to these customers, in accordance with the criteria of SFAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists”, at the time of the sale based on the following: the selling price is fixed at the date of sale, the buyer is obligated to pay for the products, title of the products has transferred, the buyer has economic substance apart from us, we do not have further obligations to assist the buyer in the resale of the product and the returns can be reasonably estimated at the time of sale. Customer payment terms generally range from letters of credit collectible upon shipment to open accounts payable 30 days after shipment.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense includes U.S., state and international income taxes and are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in income tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The income tax effects of these differences are reported as deferred income taxes. Income tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense in the year in which the credits reduce income taxes payable. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred income tax assets, which are not likely to be realized. We currently provide income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the extent those earnings are taxable in the local jurisdictions. We do not provide for United States income tax on foreign earnings because, in management’s opinion, such earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.
 
Inflation
 
Inflation has not had a significant impact on our results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 16, “Business Combinations”. The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 141 are the requirement of the usage of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and establishment of specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. We adopted this statement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which supercedes APB No. 17, “Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 provides guidance on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to acquisition including testing annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We adopted this statement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we have not amortized goodwill on acquisitions completed after July 1, 2001.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which amends SFAS No. 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies”. SFAS No. 143 provides guidance on accounting for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which supercedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” and APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”. SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model for the disposition of long-lived assets by sale. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” Among other things, SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance set forth in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS No. 146 includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated. SFAS No. 146 also requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.

Item 7a.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Foreign Currency Exposures
 
Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and accordingly, we do not use forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The effect of an immediate 10% change in exchange rates would not have a material impact on our future operating results or cash flows.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
In connection with our bank agreement, we entered into an 18-month interest rate swap agreement with the same financial institution. The interest rate swap agreement essentially enables us to manage the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of our term loan.
 
Our term loan requires us to pay interest based on a variable rate. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we are exchanging the variable rate interest on a portion of our term loan, equal to a notional amount of $22.5 million, with a fixed rate of 3.25%. The interest rate swap agreement is in effect until June 30, 2003, with the notional amount decreasing to $14.8 million over the effective period.
 
The interest rate swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the agreement will be recorded in comprehensive loss. To date there has not been a significant change in fair value.
 
We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, nor are we party to leverage derivatives.
 
The Company had interest expense of $1.1 million for the fiscal year 2002. The potential increase in interest expense for fiscal year 2002 from a hypothetical 2% adverse change in variable interest rates would be approximately $0.4 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation Policy
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Reporting Periods
 
Our fiscal year is a 52/53 week operating cycle that ends on the Saturday nearest June 30. All of the periods presented herein represent a 52-week operating cycle.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at June 29, 2002 consist of cash, overnight retail repurchase agreements (collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations), money market funds and commercial paper.
 
Investments
 
Investments at June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 consist of debt securities. We expect to hold all of our debt securities until maturity and have recorded them at amortized cost.
 
We also have an equity investment in a privately held company. This investment is included in other long-term assets in the Balance Sheet and is carried at cost. We monitor this investment for impairment and will make appropriate reductions in carrying value if a decline is deemed to be other than temporary.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first in, first out (FIFO) method.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on furniture and equipment is computed using the straight-line depreciation method over periods ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. The cost of fully depreciated assets remaining in use is included in the respective asset and accumulated depreciation accounts. When items are sold or retired, related gains or losses are included in net income.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
In fiscal year 2002 we entered into a term loan facility. Costs incurred in connection with this term loan are being amortized over the life of the loan, three years. Accumulated amortization was $68,000 as of June 29, 2002
 
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the senior credit facility and the senior subordinated notes (see Note 10), were being amortized over the average term of the related debt instruments, which approximated eight years at July 3, 1999.

33


Table of Contents
 
In connection with the initial public offering in May 2000, we paid off all the outstanding senior subordinated notes and senior credit facility. As a result, $11.7 million ($7.2 million net of taxes) of our deferred financing costs were written off.
 
Goodwill and Other Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired from business acquisitions. Prior to July 1, 2001, all goodwill was amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of seven years. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, addresses, among other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recorded in the financial statements. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized. Beginning July 1, 2001, we ceased the amortization of goodwill. Instead, we will, at least annually, review the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets. In assessing recoverability, many factors are considered, including historical and forecasted operating results and cash flows of the acquired businesses. After consideration of these factors, we will determine whether or not there is impairment to goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets.
 
In addition if an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, the asset shall be tested for impairment and that intangible asset shall then be amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization.
 
At June 29, 2002, we have $41.6 million of goodwill and $21.4 million of indefinite lived intangible assets. We believe that no impairment of goodwill or other indefinite lived intangible assets existed at June 29, 2002. Goodwill amortization was not material to the results of operations in the previous periods. We had no indefinite lived intangible assets prior to the acquisition of MNC.
 
Carrying Value of Long-Term Assets
 
We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-term assets when events and circumstances warrant such review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than the carrying value. In that event a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined by reference to quoted market prices, if available, or the utilization of certain valuation techniques such as using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues from product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customer. We offer a right of return to certain customers. Allowances are established to provide for estimated returns at the time of sale. We recognize sales to these customers, in accordance with the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists”, at the time of the sale based on the following: the selling price is fixed at the date of sale, the buyer is obligated to pay for the products, title of the products has transferred, the buyer has economic substance apart from us, we do not have further obligations to assist the buyer in the resale of the product and the returns can be reasonably estimated at the time of sale.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and distributors in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and

34


Table of Contents
maintain reserves for potential credit losses. For the fiscal year ended June 29, 2002 two customers, Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd (“Maxtek”) and Maxtech Corporation Limited (“Maxtech”), represented 19% and 18% of our revenues respectively. These same customers, who are commonly controlled, accounted for 22% and 15% of our total accounts receivable as of June 29, 2002, respectively. For fiscal years 2001 and 2000, Maxtek represented 13% and 12% of our revenues respectively, and accounted for 18% and 24% of our total accounts receivable respectively. Maxtech represented 10% of our revenue and 20% of our total accounts receivable in fiscal year 2001 and did not represent a significant portion of our revenue or accounts receivable in fiscal year 2000. These international distributors sell to approximately 140 OEM end customers. We also have a substantial concentration of credit risk in the personal computer industry. Refer to Note 19 for geographic information.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense includes U.S., state and international income taxes and is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in income tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The income tax effects of these differences are reported as deferred income taxes. Income tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense in the year in which the credits reduce income taxes payable. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred income tax assets which are not likely to be realized. We currently provide income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the extent those earnings are taxable in the local jurisdictions. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $36.3 million liability as of June 29, 2002.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expense, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. In addition, they affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
We have adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretation in accounting for its stock options issued to employees and directors. Refer to Note 16 for pro forma disclosures.
 
Reclassification of Accounts
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year classifications. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 1.6942-to-1 common stock split that occurred as of May 22, 2000, the pricing date of the initial public offering.
 
Other Comprehensive Income
 
Our reported net income for all periods presented is the same as our comprehensive income since there were no items of other comprehensive income or loss for any of the periods covered by these financial statements.

New Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 16, “Business Combinations”. The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 141 are the requirement of the usage of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and establishment of specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. We adopted this statement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which supercedes APB No. 17, “Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 provides guidance on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to acquisition including testing annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We adopted this statement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we have not amortized goodwill on acquisitions completed after July 1, 2001.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which amends SFAS No. 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies”. SFAS No. 143 provides guidance on accounting for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which supercedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” and APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operation—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”. SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model for the disposition of long-lived assets by sale. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” Among other things, SFAS No. 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. We do not believe that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our operating results.
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 addresses the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance set forth in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS No. 146 includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated. SFAS No. 146 also requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. We have not yet determined whether SFAS 146 will have a material impact on our operating results.

(2)    Public Offerings
 
On May 31, 2001, a secondary offering of 11.3 million shares of our common stock took place, in which certain shareholders of the Company sold these shares to the public. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares in this secondary offering.
 
On May 22, 2000, we completed our initial public offering of 12.5 million shares of our common stock. We used $147.1 million, the net proceeds of the initial public offering, together with $10.0 million from our new credit facility and cash on hand, to repay our bank debt and repurchase our senior subordinated notes. In connection with the repayment of the bank debt and senior subordinated notes, we recorded extraordinary losses on the early extinguishments of debt resulting from the write-off of debt issuance costs and the incurrence of prepayment penalties associated with the repurchase of our senior subordinated notes of $11.7 million and $15.4 million ($7.2 million and $9.6 million net of tax), respectively.
 
(3)    Acquisition
 
On January 4, 2002, we acquired Micro Networks Corporation (“MNC”) for $77.3 million, net of cash acquired. We acquired MNC to gain access to technology that we believe will enhance the performance of our silicon timing products, strengthening our position within existing strategic markets such as servers and storage systems. In connection with the acquisition of MNC, we began a restructuring plan that involved moving certain manufacturing operations offshore, reducing its workforce and combining facilities. The purchase price includes $5.7 million in purchase accounting liabilities. Of the total amount recorded, $4.3 million represents costs associated with closing or moving office and production activities and $1.4 million represents severance and other personnel costs. We expect to complete the restructuring by February 28, 2003. As of June 29, 2002, we have expended approximately $0.5 million of this reserve relating to severance and other personnel costs. Approximately $1.0 million of the remaining amount relates to severance and other personnel costs to be paid in fiscal year 2003, $1.9 million relates to vacated facilities leased with expirations dates through 2012 and the balance represents fixed assets that, management believes, will have little success in selling. This reserve is included in “Accrued expense and other current liabilities” in the Balance Sheet.

Of the $36.3 million of acquired intangible assets, $2.9 million was assigned to research and development assets that were written off at the date of acquisition. The remaining $33.4 million of intangible assets include a customer base valued at $12.0 million (6 year weighted-average useful life); a trade name valued at $3.0 million (indefinite useful life) and developed technology valued at $18.4 million (indefinite useful life). For fiscal year 2002, we had $1.0 million in expense for the amortization of the customer base.
 
The value of in-process research and development was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such projects and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The discount rate includes a risk-adjusted discount rate to take into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process technology.

(4)    Purchase Commitments
 
On October 7, 1998, we assumed a third party’s wafer purchase contract with Chartered Semiconductor PTE (“CSM”). The agreement required us to advance $12.0 million as part of a mutual commitment for CSM to supply and for us to purchase an agreed upon minimum quarterly quantity of wafers over a twenty-seven month period from October 1, 1998 to December 31, 2000. The agreement required CSM to refund the deposit to us in progressive quarterly installments based upon the volume of purchases made by us, and they were contractually obligated to return our deposit. As a result of the December 31, 2000 expiration date, the remaining balance of $9.9 million was refunded to us during the second quarter of fiscal year 2001. Although we have held additional purchase commitments during the past three years, as of June 29, 2002 we have no outstanding commitments.
 
(5)    Other Agreements
 
In fiscal year 1998, we entered into a non-transferable and non-exclusive license with Philips Electronics to use their technical information for data transmission systems. In consideration of the licenses and rights granted we have expensed and paid approximately $1.0 million in licensing fees during fiscal year 2002, $0.2 million during fiscal year 2001, and $1.0 million during fiscal year 2000, and expect to continue to make ongoing payments. The expense is included in our research and development expense in the Statements of Operations.
 
In fiscal year 1999, we entered into a non-exclusive and irrevocable license with PhaseLink Laboratories for use of their technical data. In return, in July 1999, we paid a one-time fee of $200,000, which will be amortized over the useful life of the technology estimated to be 5 years.
 
(6)    Investments
 
During fiscal years 2002 and 2001, we invested in debt securities, which we intend to hold to maturity, are carried at amortized cost. We also have an equity investment in a privately held company that is carried at cost. In fiscal year 2000, we did not invest in debt or equity securities. Proceeds from the maturity of the investments were $31.0 million and $17.4 million in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2001, respectively.

On January 4, 2002, we wired funds to an escrow account to cover the original purchase price of the MNC acquisition. All but two equity holders accepted the terms of the acquisition and received these funds. On or about July 8, 2002 we reached settlement with those two equity holders.
 
(11)    Debt
 
On May 22, 2000, we completed our initial public offering of 12.5 million shares of our common stock. We used the net proceeds of this initial offering, together with $10.0 million from our new credit facility (below) and cash on hand, to repay our bank debt, close our tender offer for subordinated notes and pay the fees and expenses associated with the offering.
 
In June 2000, we secured a $30 million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank. The facility was to expire in June 2002, with an option, at the bank’s sole discretion, to extend the facility for an additional period and is subject to certain covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. At June 30, 2001, we were in compliance with the revolving credit facility covenants. As of June 30, 2001, we had no outstanding balances under this agreement. Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus margin. At the beginning of the third quarter, fiscal year 2002, we terminated this credit facility and entered into a new facility as discussed below.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Micro Networks, we entered into a new revolving credit and term loan facility dated December 31, 2001, which will expire December 31, 2004. The new facility enables us to draw down $45.0 million under the term loan and $10.0 million under the revolving credit facility. At our option, the interest rates under the term loan will be either (1) a base rate, which is the higher of (i) a rate of interest announced from time to time by the lenders’ administrative agent as the base rate (“Base Rate”) or (ii) the sum of 0.5% per annum plus the federal funds rate or (2) London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%. At our option, the interest rates under the Revolving Credit Loan, will be either (1) the Base Rate or (2) the LIBOR Rate plus a pre-formulated margin. During the fiscal year 2002, we paid down $3.0 million of the term loan. As of June 29, 2002, $42.0 million was outstanding on our term loan; $13.5 million of this is classified current.

(13)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
 
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable—The carrying amounts of these items approximate their fair values at June 29, 2002 due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
 
Long-term debt—Interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value for debt issues for which quoted market prices are not available. The carrying value of this item is not materially different from its fair value on June 29, 2002.
 
Interest rate swap agreement—In connection with our bank agreement, on December 31, 2001 we entered into an 18-month interest rate swap agreement with one of the same financial institutions. The interest rate swap agreement essentially enables us to manage the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of our term loan. The fair value of this agreement was not material at June 29, 2002.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
 
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, potential limitations with respect to the utilization of loss carry forwards, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the projections for future taxable income over the periods which deferred tax assets are deductible and the potential limitations of loss and credit carry forwards, management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize these deductible differences, net of existing valuation allowances (both federal and state) at June 29, 2002. We periodically reassess and re-evaluate the status of our recorded deferred tax assets. We currently provide income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the extent those earnings are taxable in the local jurisdictions. We do not currently calculate deferred taxes on our investment in our Singapore operations, as all undistributed earnings are permanently reinvested back into the Singapore facility. If we were to record deferred taxes on our investment, the amount would be a $36.3 million liability as of June 29, 2002.
 
The actual tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense computed by applying the statutory Federal corporate income tax rate of 35% in all fiscal years to income before income taxes as follows (in thousands):

The effect of lower foreign tax rates is due to our Singapore operation, which has been given pioneer status, or exemption of taxes on non-passive income for five years. We have filed an extension for the pioneer status.
 
As of June 29, 2002, we have state operating loss carry forwards of approximately $39.6 million expiring through 2008. We also have a capital loss carry forward of approximately $3.5 million expiring in 2003. We currently provide income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the extent those earnings are taxable or are expected to be remitted in the local jurisdictions.
 
(15)    Employee Benefit Plans
 
We have a bonus plan, which covers permanent full-time employees with at least six months of service. Bonuses under this plan are based on achieving specified revenue and profit objectives and individuals

meeting specified performance objectives. Amounts charged to expense for the plan were $2.9 million, $3.8 million and $4.0 million in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
We have a 401(k) employee savings plan, which provides for contributions to be held in trust by corporate fiduciaries. Beginning in fiscal year 2000, employees were permitted to contribute up to 18% of their annual compensation. Under the plan, we make matching contributions equal to 150% of the first 1% contributed, 125% of the second 1% contributed, 100% of the third 1% contributed, 75% of the fourth 1% contributed and 50% of the next 2% up to a maximum of 6 % of annual compensation, subject to IRS limits. The matching amounts contributed and charged to expense were $0.9 million in fiscal year 2002, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2001, and $0.6 million in fiscal year 2000.
 
The 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the “ Stock Purchase Plan,” was adopted by our board of directors and our shareholders prior to the completion of the initial public offering. The Stock Purchase Plan provides employees with a convenient means of purchasing shares of our common stock through payroll deductions or lump sum cash payments. The Stock Purchase Plan also provides an incentive to participate by permitting purchases at a discounted price of 85% of fair market value. We believe that ownership of stock by employees will foster greater employee interest in the success, growth and development of our Company. This plan was implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. As of June 29, 2002, 0.1 million shares were issued through the stock purchase plan.
 
(16)    Stock Option Plans
 
The 1999 Stock Option Plan (“the 1999 Plan”) was approved, ratified and adopted on May 11, 1999. These options vest over four years and expire on May 11, 2009.
 
Effective with the pricing for the initial public offering, all common L shares converted to common shares at a conversion ratio of 1.78-to-1.

(18)    Stockholders’ Equity
 
In September, we announced a repurchase program, which authorized the purchase, from time to time, of 2.0 million shares of our common stock on the market. As of June 29, 2002, we had purchased 655,000 shares for $7.8 million.
 
Prior to the initial public offering, we had three classes of common stock, designated as Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class L common stock. The Class A common stock entitled the holder of one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders. The Class B common stock and Class L common stock were non-voting. The Class L common stock was identical to the Class A common stock and Class B common stock except that the Class L common stock was entitled preference over the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, with respect to any distribution to holders of our capital common stock, equal to the original cost of such share ($18.00) plus an amount which accrued at a rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly.
 
As a result of our initial public offering in May 2000, our articles of incorporation were amended to provide that:
 
 
 
Each share of the Series A preferred stock was converted into shares of Class A common stock and Class L common stock.
 
 
 
Each share of outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock was reclassified into a single class of common stock on a share-for-share basis, and
 
 
 
Each share of outstanding Class L common stock was reclassified into one share of common stock plus an additional number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Preference Amount by the value of a share of common stock based on the initial public offering price.
 
Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There is no cumulative voting. Except as otherwise required by law or the restated certificate, the holders of common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.

Michael A. Krupka, David Dominik and Prescott Ashe, all of whom are directors of the Company, are members or general partners of certain investment funds associated with Bain Capital, LLC. Certain of these Bain Capital, LLC investment funds are also shareholders of ChipPAC, Inc., one of our production vendors. Our orders to ChipPAC totaled approximately $1.0 million for fiscal year 2002, $6.0 million for fiscal year 2001 and $3.5 million in fiscal year 2000 and were on market terms.
 
In fiscal year 2001, we entered into an Investment and Stock Trade Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxtek Technology Co. Ltd (“Maxtek”), an overseas distributor in Taiwan. We invested $4.0 million and own approximately 10% of Maxtek. The Agreement states that if Maxtek fails to successfully complete a public offering by December 5, 2005, we, at our sole option, have the right to demand immediate repurchase of all 4.0 million shares, at the original purchase price plus accrued annual interest (commercial rate set by the Central Bank of China) during the said period. Maxtek, our overseas distributor for our PC business in Taiwan, represented approximately 19% of our sales for fiscal year 2002, and 13% in the prior year period. Additionally, sales to Maxtech Corporation Limited (“Maxtech”), an entity which is commonly controlled by the owners’ of Maxtek representing business into Hong Kong and China, were 18% of our sales in fiscal year 2002 and 10% in the prior year period. These international distributors sell to approximately 140 OEM end customers, and their percentage of revenue will fluctuate depending upon our revenues to PC clocks to the Far East.
 
In connection with the recapitalization, we entered into an advisory agreement with each of Bain Capital, LLC and Bear Stearns pursuant to which they agreed to provide financial advisory and consulting services. Each advisory agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of each of Bain Capital, LLC and Bear Stearns. During fiscal year 2000, not including the fees paid in connection with the initial public offering, we paid Bain Capital, LLC and Bear Stearns $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

On July 20, 2001, Cypress filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (“ITC”), against us for infringement of one patent, and on November 5, 2001, we filed a complaint with the ITC against Cypress for infringement of two patents (collectively, “ITC Actions”). After we filed the second Motion for Summary Determination in the ITC Actions, which were consolidated, we and Cypress resolved all litigation between ourselves. We have accrued the costs of this settlement as of June 29, 2002. On August 15, 2002, the Delaware Lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. On August 23, 2002, the California Lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. On or about August 26, 2002, the Judge in the ITC Actions granted the Joint Motion to Terminate the Investigation. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, we are no longer engaged in any litigation with Cypress.
 
In addition to the foregoing, from time to time, various inquiries, potential claims and charges and litigation (collectively “claims”) are made, asserted or commenced by or against us, principally arising from or related to contractual relations and possible patent infringement. We believe that any such claims currently pending, and the other litigation matters discussed above, individually and in the aggregate, have been adequately reserved and will not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, although no assurance can be made in this regard.

Compensation of Directors
 
We will reimburse members of the board of directors for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with services provided in such capacity. In addition, we compensate independent members of the board of directors an annual stipend of $15,000 for services provided in such capacity as well as $2,500 per board meeting attended. We paid approximately $100,000 to the board members during fiscal years 2002 and 2001, there were no payments made to the board members during fiscal year 2000.
 
Qualified 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan
 
We maintain a qualified 401(k) and profit sharing plan. Commencing in fiscal year 2000, employees are permitted to contribute up to 18% of their annual compensation. In prior years, the amount was 12% of their annual compensation. Under the plan, we make matching contributions equal to 150% of the first 1% contributed, 125% of the second 1% contributed, 100% of the third 1% contributed, 75% of the fourth 1% contributed and 50% of the next 2% contributed up to a maximum of 6% of annual compensation, subject to the IRS limits. The amounts we contributed and charged to expense were $0.9 million in fiscal year 2002, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2001 and $0.6 million in fiscal year 2000.
 
Management Equity Participation
 
The Recapitalization.    Some of the shares of our existing common stock held by some members of management before the recapitalization were converted into shares of our new common stock after the recapitalization. In addition, some of the existing stock options held by some of the members of our management before the recapitalization were converted into options to purchase shares of our new common stock after the recapitalization and deferred compensation agreements. Fifteen members of management participated in the rollover of common stock and stock options, including Messrs. Henry I. Boreen, Hock E. Tan, Justine Lien and Lewis C. Eggebrecht. These members of management invested an aggregate of $9.8 million in the recapitalization, consisting primarily of the fair value of certain common stock and vested stock options.

Table of Contents
1999 Stock Option Plans.    In order to provide additional financial incentives to certain of our executives and other key employees, in May 1999 we adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan, or the “ 1999 Plan” under which we will periodically grant options to purchase our new common stock. These options will vest upon the fulfillment of certain conditions, the passage of a specified period of time and our achievement of certain performance goals, as determined by our board of directors. All of the unvested options of any terminated employee will expire upon termination, and the exercise period of all vested options will be reduced to sixty days following the date of termination. We and certain investors have the right to repurchase shares of our common stock issued upon the exercise of options granted under the 1999 Plan if any employee ceases to be employed by us. The senior management team and many other employees own common stock and options, together representing approximately 21% of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis. No future grants will be made under the 1999 Plan upon the effectiveness of the 2000 Plan.
 
2000 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan.    We adopted the 2000 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. The equity incentive plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance awards. Directors, officers and other employees of our Company and its subsidiaries and persons who engage in services for us are eligible for grants under the plan. The purpose of the equity incentive plan is to provide these individuals with incentives to maximize shareholder value and otherwise contribute to our success and to enable us to attract, retain and reward the best available persons for positions of responsibility.
 
Approximately 6,400,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the equity incentive plan, subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split, merger or similar change in our corporate structure or the outstanding shares of common stock. In the event of any of these occurrences, we may make any adjustments we consider appropriate to, among other things, the number and kind of shares, options or other property available for issuance under the equity incentive plan or covered by grants previously made under the plan. The shares available for issuance under the equity incentive plan may be, in whole or in part, authorized and unissued or held as treasury shares. The compensation committee of our board of directors will administer the equity incentive plan. Our board also has the authority to administer the plan and to take all actions that the compensation committee is otherwise authorized to take under the plan.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.    The 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the “Stock Purchase Plan,” was adopted by our board of directors and our shareholders prior to the completion of the initial public offering. The Stock Purchase Plan enables the employees desiring to do so a convenient means of purchasing shares of common stock through payroll deductions or lump sum cash payments. The Stock Purchase Plan provides an incentive to participate by permitting purchases at a discounted price. We believe that ownership of stock by employees will foster greater employee interest in the success, growth and development of our Company. This plan was implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. As of June 29, 2002, 0.1 million shares were issued through the stock purchase plan.
 
Board Committees
 
Our Board of Directors has two committees: an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee.
 
Our Audit Committee, which is required to consist of a majority of directors not otherwise affiliated with the Company, consists of Messrs. Boreen, and Howard and Dr. Suh. The Audit Committee reports to the Board of Directors regarding the appointment of our independent public accountants, the scope and

58


Table of Contents
results of our annual audits, compliance with our accounting and financial policies and management’s procedures and policies relative to the adequacy of our internal accounting controls.
 
Our Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding our compensation policies and all forms of compensation to be provided to our executive officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews bonus and stock compensation arrangements for all of our other employees. The Compensation Committee, which is required to consist of at least two non-employee directors, consists of Messrs. Howard and Krupka.
 
In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, The Nasdaq Stock Market has proposed rule changes that will tighten the definition of “independent director.” Both the existing and the proposed Nasdaq rules generally require all members of the Audit Committee of a company with shares traded on the Nasdaq National Market to be independent directors. Currently, other than our CEO, all members of our Board of Directors (including all members of our Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee) are independent within the meaning of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as well as both the existing and proposed listing criteria of the Nasdaq National Market.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships Related Transactions
 
Previous Loan to Executive Officers
 
On May 11, 1999, certain members of the management team entered into stock purchase agreements. In exchange for the purchase of Class A common shares and Class L common shares, the executives delivered to us a promissory note. The notes accrued interest at 8% per annum and were to mature on May 11, 2006. The executives could prepay the notes at any time, in full or increments of $1,000. If the executives received a bonus from us, the executives had the obligation to prepay their notes in an amount equal to 50% of the amount of such bonus, net of the amount of any customary withholding taxes and such amount paid to us. At the start of our fiscal year, Mr. Tan owed $200,000 under a promissory note. During the year, Mr. Tan paid interest in the amount of $5,773.11 on this promissory note. As of June 29, 2002 all amounts owed under Mr. Tan’s promissory note have been paid in full. In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will no longer advance any personal loans to our directors or executive officers.
