NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation:
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of NeoMagic Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, (collectively NeoMagic or the Company). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at July 31, 2004, the operating results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, and the cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, included in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission filed on April 9, 2004.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2005.
The second fiscal quarters of 2005 and 2004 ended on August 1, 2004 and July 27, 2003, respectively. The Companys quarters generally have 13 weeks. The first quarter of fiscal 2005 had 14 weeks and the second quarter of fiscal 2005 had 13 weeks. The first and second quarters of fiscal 2004 each had 13 weeks. The Companys fiscal years generally have 52 weeks. Fiscal 2005 will have 53 weeks. For ease of presentation, the accompanying financial statements have been shown as ending on the last day of the calendar month of July.
2. Stock Compensation
At July 31, 2004, the Company had several stock-based employee compensation plans, including stock option plans and an employee stock purchase plan. The Company accounts for these plans under the intrinsic value method. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition method:

In the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a dividend yield of 0% and the following additional weighted-average assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the Black-Scholes and other existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of its employee stock options.
3. Loss Per Share
The following data shows the amounts used in computing loss per share and the effect on the weighted-average number of shares of diluted potential common stock.

For the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003 basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same due to the net loss for those periods. During the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the Company excluded options to purchase 4,932,271 and 5,978,928 shares of common stock from the diluted loss per share computations because the options had exercise prices that were greater than the average market value for the quarter and the impact would have been anti-dilutive. During the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the Company excluded options to purchase 756,516 and 6,435,061 shares of common stock from the diluted loss per share computations because the options had exercise prices greater than the average market value for the six-month period and the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company writes down the inventory value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory, based on managements assessment of future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

8. Contingencies
As a general matter, the semiconductor industry has experienced substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In December 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages and an injunction against Trident Microsystems, Inc. The suit alleged that Tridents embedded DRAM graphics accelerators infringe certain patents held by the Company. In January 1999, Trident filed a counter claim against the Company alleging an attempted monopolization in violation of antitrust laws, arising from NeoMagics filing of the patent infringement action against Trident. The Court ruled that there was no infringement by Trident. Since January 1999, no further action has occurred on this counter claim. The Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, for the Federal Circuit. On April 17, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower courts judgment of non-infringement on one patent and vacated the courts judgment of non-infringement on another patent, thereby remanding it to the lower court for further proceedings. In November 2002, the lower court heard oral arguments on cross-motions for summary judgment on the matter. In May 2003, the lower court ruled in favor of Trident. In December 2003 the Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, for the Federal Circuit. In August 2004 the Federal Circuit rejected the appeal and affirmed the lower courts decision of no infringement
Page 9 of 30
by the Trident products. While the Company believes it has valid defenses against Tridents counter claim filed in 1999, there can be no assurance as to whether Trident will or will not proceed with the counter-suit. As the Company cannot reasonably estimate the outcome of the Trident counter claim, no accrual has been recorded for the potential loss contingency relating to the Trident counter-suit.
9. Product Warranty
The Company generally sells products with a limited warranty of product quality and a limited indemnification of customers against intellectual property infringement claims related to the Companys products. The Company accrues for known warranty and indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical activity. The accrual and the related expense for known issues were not significant as of and for the six month periods ended July 31, 2004 and 2003. Due to product testing, the short time between product shipment and the detection and correction of product failures, and a low historical rate of payments on indemnification claims, the accrual based on historical activity and the related expense were not significant for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003.
10. Subsequent Event
On August 20, 2004, the Company closed a private placement of securities pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 19, 2004 (the Agreement), by and between the Company and Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC (the Investor). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investor purchased 5,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred) for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. Expenses are estimated to be less than $500 thousand. The Series B Preferred is initially convertible at the option of the Investor into 4,347,826 shares of the Companys Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.15 per share, and is subject to certain anti-dilution provisions
The terms of the Agreement also include the issuance to the investor of (i) a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, exercisable until 90 days after the date that the registration statement to be filed by the Company covering the securities is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 1,608,696 shares of common stock at $1.64 per share, exercisable for five years from date of issuance.
Further, the Company has the obligation to file a registration statement for the registration of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred and the warrants pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement dated August 19, 2004 (the Registration Rights Agreement), between the Company and the Investor. In the event the shares are not registered in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall pay damages to the Investor of 1.0% per month of the aggregate amount invested.

Overview
NeoMagic designs, develops and markets high-performance, power-efficient Applications Processors that enable multimedia features and applications in handheld systems. In the past, the Company provided semiconductor solutions for the notebook computer multimedia accelerator marketplace. In April 2000, the Company began to exit this market and is now focused solely on designing, developing and selling Applications Processors and companion chips for the handheld systems market. The Company is now generating revenues from this new product effort. In the second half of fiscal 2005, the Company expects to see customers introducing new handheld systems that use the Companys chips. The Company also expects to launch new products for its MiMagic family of Applications Processors in the second half of fiscal 2005. The Companys goal is to become a worldwide leader in Applications Processors.
NeoMagic has established strategic relationships with third-party manufacturing partners to produce semiconductor products for the Company. Pursuant to these strategic relationships, NeoMagic designs the overall product, including the logic and analog circuitry, and the manufacturing partners manufacture the wafers, assemble, test and package the products. NeoMagic is focused on leveraging its core competencies in integrating logic, analog and memory, along with graphics, video, 3D and other multimedia technologies, drivers, middleware and operating system software, and power management in its continued development of solutions that facilitate the mobilization of multimedia applications.
NeoMagic introduced its MiMagic 5 Applications Processor (NMS9200) in November 2002, and began sampling the product in February 2003. The Company expects to start ramping production shipments of the MiMagic 5 late in fiscal 2005, with its first MiMagic 5-based SmartPhone. Significant revenues from the MiMagic 5 are not expected to be generated until the fiscal year-ending January 31, 2006.
NeoMagic introduced its MiMagic 6 Application Processor (NMS9600) in June 2003, and began sampling the product in November 2003. The MiMagic 6 is the first product to use an innovative proprietary architecture, called the Associative Processor Array (APA), as the core of its multimedia engine. The APA architecture uses a massively parallel approach to processing information, which means that APA operates on multimedia data in parallel, without increasing clock rates. Existing competitive solutions use a sequential processing flow that operates on each individual data element in sequence, relying on ever-faster clock rates to improve performance. These faster clock rates burn power more quickly, thus reducing battery life. The APA multimedia engine is capable of processing large amounts of multimedia data such as video, still pictures and audio simultaneously and at low clock rates, resulting in low power consumption. Significant revenues from the MiMagic 6 are not expected to be generated until the fiscal year-ending January 31, 2006.
The Companys fiscal year end is January 31. Any references herein to a fiscal year refer to the year ended January 31 of such year. The second fiscal quarters of 2005 and 2004 ended on August 1, 2004 and July 27, 2003, respectively. For ease of presentation, the accompanying financial statements for the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2005 have been shown as ending on the last day of the calendar month of July.

Critical Accounting Policies
NeoMagics discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets and long-lived assets, revenue recognition, inventories and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the amount and timing of revenue and expenses and the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Intangible Assets and Long Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, consisting primarily of identifiable intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decline in the Companys market value, significant reductions in projected future cash flows or gross margins, or macroeconomic factors including a prolonged economic downturn. In assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the total of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company will be required to write down such assets based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by calculating the discounted future cash flows using a discount rate based upon the weighted average cost of capital. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in the forecast of future operating results used in the preparation of the estimated future cash flows, including gross profit margins, long-term forecasts of the amounts and timing of overall market growth and the Companys percentage of that market, groupings of assets, discount rates and terminal growth rates. In addition, significant estimates and assumptions are required in the determination of the fair value of our tangible long-lived assets, including replacement cost, economic obsolescence, and the value that could be realized in liquidation. Changes in these estimates could have a material adverse effect on the assessment of our long-lived assets, thereby requiring the Company to write-down or write-off long-lived assets.
We continue to periodically evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144 and acknowledge it is possible that such evaluation might result in future adjustments for impairment. Such an impairment might adversely affect our operating results.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from non-distributor product sales when the products are shipped to customers, title has transferred, and no significant obligations remain. Thus, the Company requires the following: (i) execution of a written customer order, (ii) delivery of the product, (iii) fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility of the proceeds is probable. The Companys shipment terms are FOB shipping point.
For products shipped to distributors, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the distributors sell the products to their customers. On occasion, however, the Company will sell products with End of Life status to distributors under special arrangements without any price protection or return privileges for which the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of title, typically at the time of shipping.
Page 12 of 30
At the end of each accounting period, the Company makes a determination of certain factors including sales returns and allowances, which could affect the amount of revenue recorded for the period. Sales returns provisions include considerations for known but unprocessed sales returns and estimation for unknown returns based on historical experiences. Actual sales returns may vary significantly from historical experience and could have a material effect on the Companys operating results.
Inventory Valuation
The Companys inventory valuation policy stipulates that at the end of each reporting period we write-down or write-off our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory. The amount of the write-down or write-off is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value of the inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs or write-offs may be required. Additionally, as we introduce product enhancements and new products, demand for our existing products in inventory may decrease, requiring additional inventory write-downs.
Deferred Taxes
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Based on the uncertainty of future pre-tax income, the Company has fully reserved its deferred tax assets. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize some or all of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period when such determination was made. The Company has also provided accruals for certain potential tax liabilities. If such amounts ultimately prove to be unnecessary, the resulting reversal of such accruals would result in tax benefits being recorded in the period when the accruals are no longer deemed necessary.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales were $1.0 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Net sales increased in the three months ended July 31, 2004 primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in shipments of NeoMagics MiMagic 3 applications processor for the handheld systems market. Net sales increased in the six months ended July 31, 2004 primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in shipments of NeoMagics MiMagic 3 applications processor for the handheld systems market offset by lower sales of NeoMagics companion chips of $247 thousand.
Sales to customers located outside the United States (including sales to the foreign operations of customers with headquarters in the United States, and foreign system manufacturers that sell to United States-based original equipment manufacturers) accounted for 99% and 74% of net sales in the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales to customers located outside the United States accounted for 93% and 87% of net sales in the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. All sales transactions were denominated in United States dollars. The following is a summary of the Companys net sales by major geographic area:

Gross Loss
Gross loss was $3 thousand and $197 thousand for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Gross loss was $67 thousand and $161 thousand for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The improvement in gross loss for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 is primarily due to the increase in sales partially offset by an increase in amortization expense relating to core technology and licensed intellectual property of $183 thousand and $366 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004. The gross loss for the six months ended July 31, 2004 was favorably impacted by the sale of $59 thousand of inventory previously written-off partially offset by charges totaling $24 thousand to write-off excess inventory for the Companys companion chips.
Page 14 of 30
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include compensation and associated costs relating to development personnel, amortization of intangible assets and prototyping costs, which are comprised of photomask costs and pre-production wafer costs. Research and development expenses were $4.8 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Research and development expenses were $9.7 million and $9.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These expenses include amortization of deferred compensation of $25 thousand and $90 thousand for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $90 thousand and $157 thousand for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase of $0.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004 is primarily related to increased labor costs of $0.2 million mainly due to reinstatement of salaries after the one-year reduction instituted in March 2003 and to increased mask costs of $0.2 million. The increase of $0.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004 is primarily related to increased labor costs of $0.4 million mainly due to reinstatement of salaries after a one-year reduction instituted in March 2003 and increased mask costs of $0.2 million offset by decreased consulting costs of $0.3 million.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales, general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales, general and administrative expenses were $4.0 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These expenses include amortization of deferred compensation of $41 thousand and $52 thousand for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $90 thousand and $87 thousand for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase of $0.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004 is primarily due to increased labor costs of $0.1 million mainly due to reinstatement of salaries after a one-year reduction instituted in March 2003 and to increased financial auditing and tax costs of $0.1 million offset by decreased demo board costs of $0.1 million. The increase of $0.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004 is primarily due to increased labor costs of $0.3 million mainly due to reinstatement of salaries after a one-year reduction instituted in March 2003 and to increased financial auditing and tax costs of $0.2 million partially offset by decreased demo board costs of $0.1 million.
Interest Income and Other
The Company earns interest on its cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest income and other was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest income and other was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 in interest income and other is primarily due to lower average cash and short-term investment balances.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $53 thousand and $73 thousand for the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest expense was $77 thousand and $160 thousand for the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 due to the Company canceling one of its capital leases and entering into a new lease in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 which extended the term of the old lease and added additional software to the lease.
Page 15 of 30
Income Taxes
In the three and six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, taxes consisted of foreign income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased $11.3 million in the six months ended July 31, 2004 to $31.3 million from $42.6 million at January 31, 2004.
The Company believes that it will not generate cash from operating activities over the upcoming twelve months, yet believes its current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will satisfy the Companys projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the next twelve months. Investments will continue in the Companys new product development efforts in the handheld systems marketplace. The Companys ability to increase sales of its MiMagic 3 and MiMagic 5 applications processors and the Companys ability to achieve design wins for the MiMagic 6 applications processor will be critical in determining the Companys cash needs. The Companys future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the rate of net sales, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development programs, the timing of any new product introductions, and market acceptance of the Companys products. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all. On August 20, 2004, the Company closed a new round of financing when it issued preferred stock and warrants for gross proceeds of $5.0 million. Expenses are estimated to be less than $500 thousand. See Note 10, Subsequent Event, in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2004 was $11.2 million, compared to $13.0 million of net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2003. The cash used in operating activities stems primarily from a net loss of $13.7 million, increases in inventory of $0.4 million partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million and deferred compensation amortization charges of $0.2 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.4 million and an increase in accounts payable of $0.4 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2004, was $6.5 million, compared to $11.5 million of net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2003. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2004 related primarily to net maturities of short-term investments of $6.6 million offset by fixed asset purchases of $0.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2003 related primarily to net purchases of short-term investments of $11.2 million offset by fixed asset purchases of $0.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2004, compared to $0.4 million of net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2003. The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2004 is due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1.3 million partially offset by payments on capital lease obligations of $1.2 million. The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2003 is due to payments on capital lease obligations of $0.6 million partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $0.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of its ongoing business, the Company does not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of July 31, 2004, the Company is not involved in SPE transactions.
Factors that May Affect Future Results
We Expect to Continue to Incur Significant Losses in the Fiscal Year Ending January 31, 2005
The Company has been incurring substantial losses as it invests heavily in new product development in advance of achieving significant customer sales. This is expected to continue in fiscal year ending January 31, 2005. The Companys ability to achieve cash flow breakeven is likely to depend on the success of its MiMagic 5 and its MiMagic 6 products. However, even if the MiMagic 5, MiMagic 6, and subsequent products achieve widespread customer acceptance, the length of customer design-in cycles would preclude significant product shipments in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005. Accordingly, even if these new products are successful, the Company will incur significant additional losses in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005.
Our Annual and Quarterly Performance May Fluctuate
The Companys quarterly and annual results of operations are affected by a variety of factors that could materially adversely affect net sales, gross margin and operating results. These factors include, among others, the ability of the Company to increase its customer base and its sales, the abilities of manufacturing subcontractors to make adequate and timely deliveries, access to advanced production
Page 17 of 30
process technologies from manufacturing subcontractors, and recruiting and retaining employees including those with engineering expertise in new disciplines. In particular, the Companys new product development efforts and customer engagements in integrating and supporting multimedia technologies such as H.264 video compression and video teleconferencing represent new endeavors and consequently carry greater risks of successful and timely execution. Any one or more of these factors could result in the Company failing to achieve its expectations as to future revenues and profits. Furthermore, the majority of the Companys sales were historically made, and are expected to continue to be made, on the basis of purchase orders rather than pursuant to long-term purchase agreements, which increases the difficulty of forecasting sales. The Company may be unable to adjust spending sufficiently in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfall, which could materially adversely affect quarterly operating results. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. In addition, the results of any quarterly period are not indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year. In future quarters, the Companys operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors.
We May Need Additional Capital
The Company requires working capital to fund its business, particularly to finance inventories and accounts receivable and for capital expenditures. The Company believes that its existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet the Companys capital requirements through the next 12 months, although the Company could be required, or could elect, to seek to raise additional capital within the next 12 months or in the future. The Companys future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of net sales growth, timing and extent of spending to support research and development programs in new and existing areas of technology, expansion of sales and marketing support activities, and timing and customer acceptance of new products. There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Our Financial Results could be Affected by Changes in Accounting Rules
Our financial results could be affected by potential changes in the accounting rules governing the recognition of stock-based compensation expense. We measure compensation expense for our employee stock plans under the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In addition, we provide pro forma disclosures of our operating results in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Had we accounted for our compensation expense under the fair value method of accounting prescribed by SFAS 123, the charge would have been significant, totaling $3.6 million, $5.6 million and $6.7 million during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Currently, the U. S. Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board are considering changes to accounting rules concerning the recognition of stock option compensation expense. If one or more of these proposals are implemented, we and other companies may be required to measure compensation expense using the fair value method, which would adversely affect our results of operations by reducing our income or increasing our losses by an amount equal to such stock option charges.
We have a Limited Customer Base
Three customers accounted for 43%, 30% and 18% of net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2004. Four customers accounted for 33%, 18%, 17% and 15% of net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2003. Four customers accounted for 37%, 27%, 13% and 11% of net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2004. Four customers accounted for 30%, 26%, 15% and 13% of net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2003. The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of its net sales for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the majority of the Companys
Page 18 of 30
sales was historically made, and is expected to continue to be made, on the basis of purchase orders rather than pursuant to long-term purchase agreements. As a result, the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the decision of a single customer to cease using the Companys products, or by a decline in the number of handheld systems sold by a single customer.
We May Lose Our Customer Base
The Companys products are designed to afford the handheld systems manufacturer significant advantages with respect to product performance, power consumption and size. To the extent that other future developments in components or subassemblies incorporate one or more of the advantages offered by the Companys products, the market demand for the Companys products may be negatively impacted.
We Face Intense Competition in Our Markets
The market for applications processors is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and declining average selling prices. NeoMagic believes that the principal factors of competition in this market are multimedia performance, price, features, power consumption, size and customer support. The ability of the Company to compete successfully in the applications processor market depends on a number of factors including, success in designing and subcontracting the manufacture of new products that implement new technologies, product quality and reliability, price, ability to market and sell the Companys products, ramp of production of the Companys products for particular system manufacturers, customer demand and acceptance of more sophisticated multimedia functionality on handheld systems, end-user acceptance of the system manufacturers products, market acceptance of competitors products and general economic conditions.
NeoMagic competes with both domestic and international companies, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. The Companys principal sources of competition include Renesas, certain of Samsungs S3C chips, ST Microelectronics Nomadik line and Texas Instruments OMAP product line, as well as self-developed products from a number of vertically integrated electronics firms. NeoMagic may also face increased competition from new entrants into the market including companies currently at developmental stages. NeoMagic believes it has significant intellectual properties and has historically demonstrated expertise in SOC technology. However, the inability of the Company to introduce timely new products for its market, to support these products in customer programs, or to manufacture these products could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and operating results.
Some of the Companys current and potential competitors operate their own manufacturing facilities. Since the Company does not operate its own manufacturing facility and may from time-to-time make binding commitments to purchase products, it may not be able to reduce its costs and cycle time or adjust its production to meet changing demand as rapidly as companies that operate their own facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
Our Products May be Incompatible with Evolving Industry Standards and Market Trends
The Companys ability to compete in the future will also depend on its ability to identify and ensure compliance with evolving industry standards and market trends. Unanticipated changes in market trends and industry standards could render the Companys products incompatible with products developed by major hardware manufacturers and software developers. As a result, the Company could be required to invest significant time and resources to redesign its products or obtain license rights to technologies owned
Page 19 of 30
by third parties in order to ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and market trends. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to redesign its products or obtain the necessary third-party licenses within the appropriate window of market demand. If the Companys products are not in compliance with prevailing market trends and industry standards for a significant period of time, the Company could miss crucial OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) design cycles, which could result in a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
We Depend on New Product Development to Meet Rapid Market and Technological Change
The Company is focused on providing high-performance semiconductor solutions for sale to OEMs of handheld systems. New product planning is focused on integrated System-On-Chip (SOC) semiconductor products for handheld systems that integrate multimedia technologies such as H.264 video compression, 3D graphics and audio technologies. The Companys future business, financial condition and results of operations will depend to a significant extent on its ability to develop new products that address these market opportunities. As a result, the Company believes that significant expenditures for research and development will continue to be required in the future.
The Company must anticipate the features and functionality that consumers and infrastructure providers will demand, incorporate those features and functionality into products that meet the exacting design requirements of equipment manufacturers, price its products competitively and introduce the products to the market on a timely basis. The success of new product introductions is dependent on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely completion and introduction of new product designs, the ability to create or acquire intellectual property, the ability of strategic manufacturing partners to effectively design and implement the manufacture of new products, quality of new products, differentiation of new products from those of the Companys competitors and market acceptance of the Companys and its customers products. There can be no assurance that the products the Company expects to introduce will incorporate the features and functionality demanded by system manufacturers and consumers, will be successfully developed, or will be introduced within the appropriate window of market demand, nor can there be assurance that customers who utilize the Companys semiconductor products will achieve the levels of market success with their own system products that they may project to the Company.
Because of the complexity of its products, the Company has experienced occasional delays in completing development and introduction of new products. In the event that there are delays in production of current products, or in the completion of development of future products, including the products currently under development for introduction over the next 12 to 18 months, the Companys potential future business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. In addition, the time required for competitors to develop and introduce competing products may be shorter, their manufacturing yields may be better, and their production costs may be lower than those experienced by the Company.
We Depend on Third-Party Manufacturers to Produce Our Products
The Companys products require wafers manufactured with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and techniques. The Company currently utilizes several foundries for wafer fabrication. The Company expects that, for the foreseeable future, some of its products will be manufactured by a single source. Since, in the Companys experience, the lead time needed to establish a strategic relationship with a new wafer fabrication partner is at least 12 months, and the estimated time for a foundry to switch to a new product line ranges from four to nine months, there may be no readily available alternative source of supply for specific products. A manufacturing disruption experienced by the Companys manufacturing partners, the failure of the Companys manufacturing partners to dedicate adequate resources to the production of the

Companys products, or the financial instability of the Companys manufacturing partners would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, in the event that the transition to the next generation of manufacturing technologies by the Companys manufacturing partner is unsuccessful, the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
There are many other risks associated with the Companys dependence upon third-party manufacturers, including: reduced control over delivery schedules, quality, manufacturing yields and cost; the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand; limited warranties on wafers supplied to the Company; and potential misappropriation of NeoMagics intellectual property. The Company is dependent on its manufacturing partners to produce wafers with acceptable quality and manufacturing yields, deliver those wafers on a timely basis to the Companys third party assembly subcontractors and to allocate to the Company a portion of their manufacturing capacity sufficient to meet the Companys needs. Although the Companys products are designed using the process design rules of the particular manufacturer, there can be no assurance that the Companys manufacturing partners will be able to achieve or maintain acceptable yields or deliver sufficient quantities of wafers on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Companys manufacturing partners will continue to devote adequate resources to the production of the Companys products or continue to advance the process design technologies on which the manufacturing of the Companys products are based.
We Rely on Third-Party Subcontractors to Assemble and Test Our Products
The Companys products are assembled and tested by third-party subcontractors. The Company does not have long-term agreements with any of these subcontractors. Such assembly and testing is conducted on a purchase order basis. As a result of its reliance on third-party subcontractors to assemble and test its products, the Company cannot directly control product delivery schedules, which could lead to product shortages or quality assurance problems that could increase the costs of manufacturing or assembly of the Companys products. Due to the amount of time normally required to qualify assembly and test subcontractors, product shipments could be delayed significantly if the Company were required to find alternative subcontractors. Any problems associated with the delivery, quality or cost of the assembly and test of the Companys products could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
We May Encounter Inventory Excess or Shortage
The Company has wafer supply relationships with several foundries to support the Companys product efforts. Normally, the Company places binding purchase orders two to three months prior to wafer shipment. The Company orders wafers for deliveries in advance and with the additional time to assemble and test wafers, the Company can have orders for finished goods that will not be available for up to four months into the future. If the Company does not have sufficient demand for its products and cannot cancel its current and future commitments without material impact, the Company may experience excess inventory, which will result in a write-off affecting gross margin and results of operations. If the Company cancels a purchase order, it must pay cancellation penalties based on the status of work in process or the proximity of the cancellation to the delivery date. The Company must place purchase orders for wafers before it receives purchase orders from its own customers. This limits the Companys ability to react to fluctuations in demand for its products, which can be unexpected and dramatic, and from time-to-time will cause the Company to have an excess or shortage of wafers for a particular product. As a result of the long lead-time for manufacturing wafers and the increase in just in time ordering by manufacturers, semiconductor companies such as the Company from time-to-time must take charges for excess inventory. The Company did in fact incur such charges in fiscal 2001 of $9.2 million. Significant write-offs of excess inventory have had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, failure to order sufficient wafers would cause the Company to miss revenue opportunities and, if significant, could impact sales by the Companys customers, which could adversely affect the Companys customer relationships and thereby materially adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Manufacturing Yields May Fluctuate
The fabrication of semiconductors is an extremely complex process, which typically includes hundreds of process steps. Minute levels of contaminants in the manufacturing environment, defects in masks used to print circuits on a wafer, utilization of equipment with variations and numerous other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or a significant number of die on each wafer to be nonfunctional. Many of these problems are difficult to diagnose and time consuming or expensive to remedy. As a result, semiconductor companies often experience problems in achieving acceptable wafer manufacturing yields, which are represented by the number of good die as a proportion of the total number of die on any particular wafer. The Company often purchases wafers, not die, and pays an agreed upon price for wafers meeting certain acceptance criteria. Accordingly, the Company bears the risk of the yield of good die from wafers purchased meeting the acceptance criteria.
Semiconductor manufacturing yields are a function of both product design, which is developed largely by the Company, and process technology, which is typically proprietary to the manufacturer. Historically, the Company has experienced lower yields on new products. Since low yields may result from either design or process technology failures, yield problems may not be effectively determined or resolved until an actual product exists that can be analyzed and tested to identify process sensitivities relating to the design rules that are used. As a result, yield problems may not be identified until well into the production process, and resolution of yield problems would require cooperation by and communication between the Company and the manufacturer. This risk is compounded by the offshore location of the Companys manufacturers, increasing the effort and time required identifying, communicating and resolving manufacturing yield problems. As the Companys relationships with new manufacturing partners develop, yields could be adversely affected due to difficulties associated with adapting the Companys technology and product design to the proprietary process technology and design rules of each manufacturer. Any significant decrease in manufacturing yields could result in an increase in the Companys per unit product cost and could force the Company to allocate its available product supply among its customers, potentially adversely impacting customer relationships as well as revenues and gross margins. There can be no assurance that the Companys manufacturers will achieve or maintain acceptable manufacturing yields in the future.
Uncertainty and Litigation Risk Associated with Patents and Protection of Proprietary Rights
The Company relies in part on patents to protect its intellectual property. As of July 31, 2004, the Company has been issued 77 patents, each covering certain aspects of the design and architecture of the Companys products. Additionally, the Company has numerous patent applications pending. There can be no assurance that the Companys pending patent applications, or any future applications will be approved. Further, there can be no assurance that any issued patents will provide the Company with significant intellectual property protection, competitive advantages, or will not be challenged by third parties, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the Companys ability to do business. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate the Companys products or design around any patents that may be issued to the Company.
The Company also relies on a combination of mask work protection, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to protect its intellectual property. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property or otherwise gain access to the Companys trade secrets or intellectual property, or disclose such intellectual property or trade secrets, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its intellectual property. A failure by the Company to meaningfully protect its intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a general matter, the semiconductor industry has experienced substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In December 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Page 22 of 30
Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages and an injunction against Trident Microsystems, Inc. The suit alleged that Tridents embedded DRAM graphics accelerators infringe certain patents held by the Company. In January 1999, Trident filed a counter claim against the Company alleging an attempted monopolization in violation of antitrust laws, arising from NeoMagics filing of the patent infringement action against Trident. The Court ruled that there was no infringement by Trident. Since January 1999, no further action has occurred on this counter claim. The Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, for the Federal Circuit. On April 17, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower courts judgment of non-infringement on one patent and vacated the courts judgment of non-infringement on another patent, thereby remanding it to the lower court for further proceedings. In November 2002, the lower court heard oral arguments on cross-motions for summary judgment on the matter. In May 2003, the lower court ruled in favor of Trident. In December 2003 the Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, for the Federal Circuit. In August 2004 the Federal Circuit rejected the appeal and affirmed the lower courts decision of no infringement by the Trident products. While the Company believes it has valid defenses against Tridents counter claim filed in 1999, there can be no assurance as to whether Trident will or will not proceed with the counter-suit. As the Company cannot reasonably estimate the outcome of the Trident counter claim, no accrual has been recorded for the potential loss contingency relating to the Trident counter-suit.
Any patent litigation, whether or not determined in the Companys favor or settled by the Company, would at a minimum be costly and could divert the efforts and attention of the Companys management and technical personnel from productive tasks, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that current or future infringement claims by third parties or claims for indemnification by other customers or end users of the Companys products resulting from infringement claims will not be asserted in the future or that such assertions, if proven to be true, will not materially adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of any adverse ruling in any such matter, the Company could be required to pay substantial damages, which could include treble damages, cease the manufacturing, use and sale of infringing products, discontinue the use of certain processes, or to obtain a license under the intellectual property rights of the third party claiming infringement. There can be no assurance, however, that a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any limitations on the Companys ability to market its products, or delays and costs associated with redesigning its products or payments of license fees to third parties, or any failure by the Company to develop or license a substitute technology on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
We Depend on International Sales and Suppliers
Export sales have been a critical part of the Companys business. Sales to customers located outside the United States (including sales to the foreign operations of customers with headquarters in the United States and foreign system manufacturers that sell to United States-based OEMs) accounted for 99% and 74% of net sales in the three months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales to customers located outside the United States accounted for 93% and 87% of net sales in the six months ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company expects that net sales derived from international sales will continue to represent a significant portion of its total net sales. Letters of credit issued by customers have supported a portion of the Companys international sales. To date, the Companys international sales have been denominated in United States dollars. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of the Companys customers could make the Companys products relatively more expensive than competitors products sold in the customers local currency.
International manufacturers have produced, and are expected to continue to produce for the foreseeable future, all of the Companys wafers. In addition, many of the assembly and test services used by the Company are procured from international sources. Wafers are priced in U.S. dollars under the Companys purchase orders with its manufacturing suppliers.
Page 23 of 30
International sales and manufacturing operations are subject to a variety of risks, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, tariffs, import restrictions and other trade barriers, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, potentially adverse tax consequences and export license requirements. In addition, the Company is subject to the risks inherent in conducting business internationally including foreign government regulation, political and economic instability, and unexpected changes in diplomatic and trade relationships. Moreover, the laws of certain foreign countries in which the Companys products may be developed, manufactured or sold, may not protect the Companys intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, thus increasing the possibility of piracy of the Companys products and intellectual property. There can be no assurance that one or more of these risks will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are Dependent on Qualified Personnel
The Companys future success depends in part on the continued service of its key engineering, sales, marketing, manufacturing, finance and executive personnel, and its ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel. There is strong competition for qualified personnel in the semiconductor industry, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the development of its business. The Company has experienced the loss of certain key personnel and also reduced personnel in its restructuring. If the Companys headcount is not appropriate for its future direction and the Company fails to recruit key personnel critical to its future direction in a timely manner, it may have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Stock Price May Be Volatile
The market price of the Companys Common Stock, like that of other semiconductor companies, has been and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. The market has from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of the Companys Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors, including quarter-to-quarter variations in the Companys anticipated or actual operating results, announcements of new products, technological innovations or setbacks by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the semiconductor industry, unanticipated shifts in the handheld systems market or industry standards, loss of key customers, litigation commencement or developments, the impact of Company fundraising activities, including dilution to shareholders, changes in or the failure by the Company to meet estimates of the Companys performance by securities analysts, market conditions for high technology stocks in general, and other events or factors. In future quarters, the Companys operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors.
There may not be an active, liquid trading market for our common stock. In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, our common stock traded below the $1 minimum bid price requirement of the NASDAQ National Market. If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ National Market, including the minimum bid price per share requirement, we may be delisted from trading on such market, and thereafter trading in our common stock, if any, would be conducted through the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, the over-the-counter market or on the Electronic Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. There is no guarantee that an active trading market for our common stock will be maintained on the NASDAQ National Market. You may not be able to sell your shares quickly, at the market price or at all if trading in our stock is not active.

Terrorist Attacks, Terrorist Threats, Geopolitical Instability and Government Responses Thereto, May Negatively Impact All Aspects of NeoMagics Operations, Revenues, Costs and Stock Price.
The terrorist attacks in September 2001 in the United States and ensuing events and the resulting decline in consumer confidence has had a material adverse effect on the economy. If consumer confidence does not fully recover, NeoMagics revenues and profitability will continue to be adversely impacted in fiscal 2005 and beyond. In addition, any similar future events may disrupt NeoMagics operations or those of its customers and suppliers. In addition, these events have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the U.S. and world economy, in general, and consumer confidence and spending in particular, which could harm NeoMagics sales. Any of these events could increase volatility in the U.S. and world financial markets, which could harm NeoMagics stock price and may limit the capital resources available to it and its customers or suppliers. This could have a significant impact on NeoMagics operating results, revenues and costs and may result in increased volatility in the market price of its common stock.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments are exposed to financial market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect our interest income. As of July 31, 2004, the Companys cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments earned interest at an average rate of 1.2%. Due to the short-term nature of the Companys investment portfolio, operating results or cash flows are vulnerable to sudden changes in market interest rates. Assuming a decline of 10% in the market interest rates at July 31, 2004, with consistent cash balances, interest income would be adversely affected by approximately $9 thousand per quarter. The Company does not use its investment portfolio for trading or other speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Currently all of the Companys sales and the majority of its expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, the Company has relatively little exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company does not currently enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, in the event exposure to foreign currency risk increases, the Company may choose to hedge those exposures.
Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Page 25 of 30
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company established an Advisory and Disclosure Committee to formalize the reporting review process. The purpose of the Committee is to review information to be released in quarterly earnings releases and other financial releases, as well as information to be filed in quarterly reports, annual reports and proxy statements, and to, determine disclosure obligations and to report these matters to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
During the first six months of fiscal 2005, there have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As a general matter, the semiconductor industry has experienced substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In December 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages and an injunction against Trident Microsystems, Inc. The suit alleged that Tridents embedded DRAM graphics accelerators infringe certain patents held by the Company. In January 1999, Trident filed a counter claim against the Company alleging an attempted monopolization in violation of antitrust laws, arising from NeoMagics filing of the patent infringement action against Trident. The Court ruled that there was no infringement by Trident. Since January 1999, no further action has occurred on this counter claim. The Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, for the Federal Circuit. On April 17, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower courts judgment of non-infringement on one patent and vacated the courts judgment of non-infringement on another patent, thereby remanding it to the lower court for further proceedings. In November 2002, the lower court heard oral arguments on cross-motions for summary judgment on the matter. In May 2003, the lower court ruled in favor of Trident. In December 2003 the Company filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, for the Federal Circuit. In August 2004 the Federal Circuit rejected the appeal and affirmed the lower courts decision of no infringement by the Trident products. While the Company believes it has valid defenses against Tridents counter claim filed in 1999, there can be no assurance as to whether Trident will or will not proceed with the counter-suit.
