NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OSE USA, Inc., formerly Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation, (the Company) was incorporated in California on April 28, 1992 and reincorporated in Delaware on June 19, 1997. The Company changed its name on June 6, 2001 in connection with its strategic reorganization. The Company has operated historically within two segments of the semiconductor industry: (1) manufacturing and (2) distribution.
Within manufacturing, the Companys business had been to assemble and package integrated circuits from wafers consigned by its customers. The Companys focus has been on quad flat packages (QFPs), thin quad flat packages (TQFPs), ball grid array packages (BGAs), flip chips, and chip scale packaging (CSPs), which are used in complex integrated circuits with high pin-counts in the personal computer and telecommunications industries. The Company also provided advanced design and assembly services to satisfy its customers requirements. On September 8, 2003, the Company completed the sale of assets of its manufacturing division to a third party. The assets sold included equipment, inventory, permits and licenses, and intellectual property, for a total of $1 million, composed of $500,000 in cash and a $500,000 note receivable. All of the original contractual terms on the $500,000 note receivable have not been completed by the purchasing party On June 28, 2004, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California against the purchaser. The Company decided to fully reserve the $500,000 promissory note due to the uncertainty of collection.
Within the distribution segment, the Company through its subsidiary OSE, Inc. (OSEI) is the exclusive North American sales and marketing organization for Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. (OSE) of Taiwan, a public Taiwanese company and the Companys controlling stockholder. The Company is also the exclusive North American sales and marketing organization for affiliated company Orient Semiconductor Electronics Philippines, Inc. (OSEP). Revenues are derived exclusively from fees received on the sales of OSE and OSEP semiconductor assembly and test services to customers headquartered in North America, in accordance with a distribution agreement. The Company entered this segment of the market in October 1999 with the acquisition of OSEI from OSE. and with the sale of the assets of the manufacturing segment currently operates in one segment.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not have the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.
Page 6
The Company has experienced fluctuating levels of demand and ongoing net operating losses and has negative stockholders equity of $45.2 million as of December 31, 2003. As a result of these circumstances, the Companys independent accountants opinion on the Companys December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements included an explanatory paragraph to indicate that these matters raise substantial doubt about this Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On September 3, 2003, the Company signed an agreement with an unrelated third party to sell the Companys manufacturing operation (including related equipment, inventory, and intellectual property) for a total of $1,000,000, comprised of $500,000 in cash and a $500,000 note bearing interest at the prime rate. The principal of the note is due at the end of a three-year period, following consummation, and interest is due monthly. The sale of assets was substantially completed as of September 8, 2003. Pursuant to SFAS No.144, these former activities have been accounted for as discontinued operations in the financial statements. Condensed financial information for these discontinued operations is summarized below for the three and six months periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004.

NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for stock-based awards to employees when the exercise price of the award is equal to or greater than the quoted market price of the stock on the date of grant.
Page 7
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, require disclosures as if the Company had applied the fair value method to employee awards rather than the intrinsic value method. The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models. These models were developed originally to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from the Companys stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Companys fair value calculations for awards from stock option plans were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

NOTE 4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable is due from semiconductor companies. Credit is extended based on evaluation of each customers financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. A majority of accounts receivable are due within 30 days and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Companys previous loss history, the customers current ability to
Page 8
pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to bad debt expense, included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Based on the distributor agreements between OSEI, OSE, and OSEP, OSEI will be responsible for one third of any un-collectible amount that arises from customer sales. The Company makes its estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable by analyzing the accounts receivable aging.
Effective May 1, 2003, the Company and OSE amended the distribution agreement related to the recording of accounts receivable derived from products shipped from OSE Ltd to customers in North America. The Company no longer records accounts receivable generated from such shipments, and payments related to invoices dated after May 1, 2003 have been remitted to OSE directly. The accounts receivable related to products shipped from OSEP as of December 31, 2003 and June 27, 2004 were $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. All other terms and conditions of the distribution agreement remain in effect.
Changes in the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Provision for income taxes was recorded for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2004. Even though the Company operated at a loss, a state income tax liability has been accrued based on tax criteria set by the state of Massachusetts. The Company believes the realization of its deferred tax assets is unlikely and accordingly, has recorded an offsetting valuation allowance.
NOTE 6. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per basic and diluted share for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004 was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period but excluding the dilutive potential of common shares from assumed conversions because of their anti-dilutive effect. Dilutive potential common shares include conversion of preferred shares (Note 8), and outstanding stock options and warrants, using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, respectively. At June 29, 2003, there were options and warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 10,316,324 shares of Common Stock. At June 27, 2004, there were options and warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 6,919,181 shares of Common Stock.
NOTE 7. LOANS PAYABLE RELATED PARTY
The Company has been withholding payments obtained from customers of OSE in order to support its operational cash requirement. This withholding was recorded as accounts payable related party. In August 2003, OSE decided to convert part of this withholding to two interest-bearing loans.
Page 9
The Company accrued interest expense of $217,000 for the three-month period ended June 27, 2004 related to these loans.
Loan payable to related party at December 31, 2003 and June 27, 2004 consists of:
Unsecured loan payable, interest payments are due in monthly installments of $58,333 at 4.0% per annum. The principal is due on December 26, 2004* |
$ | 17,500,000 | |
Unsecured loan payable, interest payments are due in monthly installments of $21,500 at 3.0% per annum. The principal is due on December 29, 2004 |
8,602,000 | ||
Total |
$ | 26,102,000 | |
* | The principal due date has been extended from June 26, 2004 to December 26, 2004. The interest rate has been revised from 3.5% to 4.0% per annum effective June 27, 2004. |
NOTE 8. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
As of June 27, 2004, the Company had 3,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, and 3,023,225 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock outstanding. Each share of Series A and Series B Preferred is convertible into 13.7487705 shares of the Companys common stock at the option of the holders.
The holders of shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred are entitled to dividends at the rate of $0.136 and $0.159, respectively, per annum per share, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 each year. The dividends on Series A and Series B Preferred are payable in cash, shares of common stock or any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holders of Series A and Series B Preferred. The holders of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred are entitled to the payment of $1.70 and $1.98 per share, respectively, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, including any consolidation, merger or other reorganization whereby the existing shareholders of the Company own less than 50% of the Companys voting power subsequent to the transaction.
On August 9, 2002, the Company executed an agreement pursuant to which it rescinded its previous distribution of common shares issued from July 1999 through January 2002 to its majority shareholder, OSE, in settlement of a preferred dividend obligation of $1.6 million. Under the terms of the agreement, OSE returned to the Company certificates representing 26,344,391 shares of the Companys common stock. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation for the Companys Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the Company agreed to accrue interest on the unpaid preferred dividends. The decision to rescind the previous payment of dividends was made after the Company was advised by its counsel (and also by special counsel engaged for this purpose) that the Companys surplus and earnings may have been insufficient to support the payment of the dividends under the laws of Delaware, the Companys state of incorporation. Dividends and interest on unpaid dividends of approximately $3.86 million and $4.44 million are included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2003 and June 27, 2004, respectively.
NOTE 9. SEGMENTS
The Company is left with the distribution segment after eliminating its manufacturing operations. The

operating results shown on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under continuing operations represents the three and six month operating results from the distribution segment for the periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
As a result of a reduction in orders from the Companys customers, the Company had significant excess production capacity from the first quarter of 1997 until the closing of the Companys manufacturing operations during 2003, as described below. The reduction in revenue and underutilization of capacity and the resulting under-absorption of fixed costs resulted in operating losses that continued through the first quarter of 2003. As a result of these and other related circumstances, the Companys independent accountants opinion on the Companys December 31, 2003 financial statements, and the Companys independent accountants opinion on the Companys financial statements for each of the prior fiscal years 1998 through 2003, included an explanatory paragraph indicating that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
OSE, Inc. (OSEI) serves as the exclusive North American distributor for OSE, a public Taiwanese company and the Companys principal stockholder. OSEI also serves as the exclusive North American distributor for the affiliated company OSE Philippines (OSEP). OSEI derives its revenues exclusively from fees received on the sales of OSEs and OSEPs semiconductor assembly and test services to customers headquartered in North America.
The Companys business is substantially affected by market conditions in the semiconductor industry, which is highly cyclical and subject historically, to significant economic downturns characterized by reduced product demand, rapid erosion of average selling prices and excess production capacity. In addition, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, intense competition and fluctuations in end-user demand characterize the markets for integrated circuits. Since the Companys business is entirely dependent on the requirements of semiconductor companies for independent packaging foundries, any future downturn in the semiconductor industry is expected to have an adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. These general industry conditions continue to affect the Companys business for the six-month period ended June 27, 2004.
Manufacturing Segment Closing
On September 8, 2003, the Company completed the sale of assets of its manufacturing division to a third party. The assets included related equipment, inventory, permits and licenses, and intellectual property, for a total of $1 million, comprised of $500,000 in cash and a $500,000 three-year note.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The following discussion compares results from continuing operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004. All amounts have been reformatted to reflect the impact of the discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Revenues
The distribution segment earns revenue through a distribution agreement with OSE, pursuant to which revenues derived from fees received on the sales of OSEs and OSEPs semiconductor assembly and test services to customers headquartered in North America are recognized on a net commission basis. Revenue related to manufacturing is included in discontinued operations and presented on a net basis.
Total revenues increased 54% from $0.78 million for the three-month period ended June 29, 2003 to $1.21 million for the three-month period ended June 27, 2004. Total revenues increased 44% from $1.55 million for the six-month period ended June 29, 2003 to $2.23 million for the six-month period ended June 27, 2004. Revenue increased as a result of overall recovery of the semiconductor industry. Both OSE and OSEP are experiencing increased orders from customers during the first half of 2004. However, it is expected that the growth of the semi-conductor industry will slow down for the second half of the year.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with sales, customer service, finance, administration and management personnel, as well as advertising, public relations, legal, and accounting costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003 were $1.17 million and $2.34 million, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 15% to $1.34 million and decreased 8% to $2.16 million respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2004. The $0.17 million increase for the three-month period was due primarily to increased spending in the legal fees and other SEC compliance related expenses. The $0.18 million decrease for the six-month period was due primary to the decrease in payroll expenses as a result of reduced headcount in sales personnel.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 150% and 151% for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003, respectively, to 111% and 97% for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2004, respectively. These decreases were mainly due to the higher revenue levels in 2004.
Interest and Other Income
Interest income is primarily comprised of interest earnings from investments in cash equivalents. Interest and other income increased for the three-month period ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004 from $6,000 to $8,000 and decreased for the six-month period ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004 from $19,000 to $8,000, respectively. The increase in the three-month period was mainly due to higher cash balance during the first quarter of 2004. The decrease in the six-month period was mainly due to lower other income during 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest payable on bank debt and inter-company loans payable to OSE. Interest expense increased from $77,000 and $195,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2003, respectively, to $217,000 and $434,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2004, respectively. Interest expense increased as a result of interest charges from inter-company loans offset by pay-down of the Companys bank debt and lower interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes
The Company recorded a $2,000 provision for income tax for the three and six-month period ended June 27, 2004 for Massachusetts state income tax.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six-month period ended June 27, 2004, the Companys net cash provided by continuing operations was $404,000. Net cash provided by operations was comprised primarily of a net loss of $360,000, increased by $188,000 of non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and $500,000 of bad debt reserve, reduced by a non-cash $69,000 amortization of gain on sale of facility, and a $145,000 net increase in working capital items. The net increase in working capital items primarily reflected a $557,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $97,000 increase in prepaid and other current assets, a $718,000 increase in accounts payable and accounts payable to related party, and an $81,000 increase in accrued liabilities. The Company had no cash provided by or used in investing and financing activities for the six-month period ended June 27, 2004. At June 27, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $750,000.
Cash provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 27, 2004 are summarized in the following table. (in thousands)

The decrease of $7.2 million in cash provided by operating activities from 2003 to 2004 was mainly due to
(1) A $9.9 million difference in changes in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable decreased by $9.3 million during the six-month period in 2003 compared with a $0.6 million increase during the same period in 2004.
(2) A $0.6 million difference in changes in accounts payable. Accounts payable increased by $1.3 million during the six-month period in 2003 compared with a $0.7 million increase during the same period in 2004 offset by
(3) A $2.2 million difference in cash used in discontinued operations. Cash used in discontinued operation
Page 13
in operating activities was $2.4 million during the six-month period in 2003 compared with $0.2 million during the same period in 2004. The decrease was due to a reduction in loss from the manufacturing segment in 2004 as the segment has been fully closed and
(4) A $0.6 million difference in net loss from continuing operations. Net loss for the six-month period ended June 29, 2003 was $1.0 million compared with $0.4 million for the same period in 2004. This was due to higher revenue and lower spending in 2004.
The decrease of $80,000 in cash used in investing activities from 2003 to 2004 was due to a decrease in restricted cash from the Companys bank loan obligation. The Company paid off its bank lines of credit in October 2003.
The decrease of $7.5 million in cash used in financing activities from 2003 to 2004 was due to a decrease in payments on bank debt as the Company paid off its bank lines of credit in October 2003.
In 2003, the Company converted $26.1 million of its payable to OSE to two one-year loans. $17.5 million of principal bears interest at 3.5% and $8.6 million of principal bears interest at 3%. The $17.5 million loan is due on June 26, 2004 and was extended to December 26, 2004 with revised interest rate at 4.0% effective June 27, 2004. The $8.6 million is due on December 29, 2004. The Company does not believe that it will have the ability to settle the loans on the due dates either through its operations or through financing from banks or other third parties. If OSE does not renew the loans in 2004, the Company will not be able to continue its operations.
Without any debt facilities with a bank, the Company will require continued financial support from OSE to fulfill operating cash requirements. If OSE does not provide the Company with required cash, the Company may not be able to continue its operations. Currently, OSE is providing the Company with needed operating cash.
Risk Factors Affecting Operating Results
The Companys operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially and adversely affect revenues, gross profit, operating income and liquidity. These factors include the Companys ability to secure additional financing, the short term nature of its customers commitments, the timing and volume of orders relative to OSEs and OSEPs production capacity, long lead times for the manufacturing equipment required by OSE and OSEP, evolutions in the life cycles of customers products, timing of expenditures in anticipation of future orders, lack of a meaningful backlog, effectiveness in managing production processes, changes in costs and availability of labor, raw materials and components, costs to obtain materials on an expedited basis, mix of orders filled, the impact of price competition on the Companys average selling prices and changes in economic conditions. The occurrence or continuation of unfavorable conditions in any of the preceding factors would adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risk of lack of funding for operations
If the Company cannot generate the cash for its ongoing operating expenses through operating cash flow and external financing activities, it may be materially adversely affected. The Company paid off its line of credit with the banks in 2003. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. The lack of local debt facility makes the Company primarily dependent on the funding support from OSE. Inability to generate needed cash from operations or debt financing would have a material adverse effect on meeting the Companys debt obligation and funding continued operations.
Page 14
Risk related to dependence on OSE and OSEP factory capacity and capability
The Companys operating revenue consists solely of commission revenue generated from business solicited by OSEI in North America and passed to OSE and OSEP factories. If the factories cannot produce products satisfactory to the end customers due to lack in manufacturing technology or capacity constraint, the Company will not be able to retain the customers. Both OSE and OSEP are also serving customers located in other regions of the world. If OSE and OSEP have to allocate their factory resources to other customers, the sales volume to North American customers might decline with an adverse impact on the Companys revenue.
Risk related to high fluctuation in the semiconductor industry
The semiconductor industry is comprised of different market segments based on device type and the end use of the device. Accordingly, within the semiconductor industry, demand for production in a particular segment may be subject to more significant fluctuations than demand in other segments. If any of the Companys significant customers are in a segment, which has experienced adverse market conditions, there could be an adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and operating results. There can be no assurance that reduced demand, or the general economic conditions underlying such demand, will not continue to adversely affect the Companys results of operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such continuation or expansion of this reduced demand will not result in an additional and significant decline in the demand for products by the Companys customers and a corresponding material adverse impact on the Companys business, operating results and financial condition.
Risk from terrorist activities and other political conditions
The occurrence and threat of terrorist attacks and consequences of sustained military action, has adversely affected demand for products of our customers. A slowdown of the worldwide semiconductor market recovery or a significant decline in economic conditions in any significant geographic area would likely decrease the overall demand for the Companys products, which could have a material adverse effect. If the economic recovery slowdowns or worsens as a result of terrorist activities, military action or otherwise, it could adversely impact customers ability to pay in a timely manner.
Risk of losing technological and manufacturing expertise
The semiconductor packaging industry is continuously going through technological changes, which require increased technological and manufacturing expertise. If OSE and OSEP were behind in developing the required expertise or the introduction of new packaging technologies, or if there were a reduction in or shift away from the packages under development, such events could result in a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risk related to political, economic, and military conditions in Taiwan
The Company could be significantly impacted by the political, economic and military conditions in Taiwan, where OSEs operations are principally located. Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China are continuously engaged in political disputes. Such disputes may continue and even escalate, resulting in economic embargo, a disruption in shipping or even military hostilities. This could severely harm the Companys business by interrupting or delaying production or shipment of products, which OSEI distributes. Any activity of this nature, or even rumors of such activity, could severely and negatively impact the Companys results of operations and financial position.
Page 15
Risk related to geographical location
The Companys facilities are located in California near major earthquake faults. In addition, some of the Companys suppliers are located near earthquake sensitive areas. In the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster near its facilities, the Companys operations could be harmed. Similarly, a major earthquake or other natural disaster near the Companys suppliers, like the one that occurred in Taiwan in September 1999, could disrupt the operations of those suppliers, thus limiting the availability of products for the Company to distribute and harming the Companys business.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
On October 1, 2003, the Company paid off its line of credit with local banks through collections of accounts receivable and funding from OSE. As of June 27, 2004 and currently, the Company has no bank or other third party financing and will depend upon cash generated from its operations and continued financial support from OSE.
The Company has no trading portfolio, and its only market risk sensitive asset is the three-year $500,000 note received in connection with the sale of the Companys manufacturing assets on September 8, 2003. See the discussion of this transaction in Item 1 under the heading Discontinued Operation. The Companys agreement requires that the Company assign the note to the Companys landlord and that the note be secured by the purchaser; however, this assignment has not yet occurred, and the Company continues to hold the note as an asset, due to an unresolved dispute between the purchaser and the landlord as to the sufficiency of the offered collateral. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of this note and the unresolved dispute between the Company and the purchaser, the Company decided to fully reserve the note. As of June 27, 2004, the purchaser has made required payments of interest directly to the landlord. These interest payments have not been recorded as income to the Company, since the Company and all parties involved in the transaction have consented that such interest payments are to be paid directly to the landlord.
The Company has two principal interest-bearing liabilities: (1) approximately $26.1 million in payables to the Companys parent OSE which were converted into loans during 2003, and (2) interest on unpaid dividends on the Companys Series A and B Preferred Stock. These items accrue interest at fixed rates and hence are not sensitive to market risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in this quarterly report is accumulated and communicated by our management, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.

On June 28, 2004, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California against Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation, the purchaser of the assets of the manufacturing segment of the Company on September 8, 2003. The complaint asserts several causes of action but alleges primarily that the purchaser has not performed all of its obligations with respect to the $500,000 promissory note issued by the purchaser as part of the consideration for the purchase of the Companys manufacturing assets.
