We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Consequently, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for a complete set of annual financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2004 that are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other period.

We have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, in accounting for employee stock options. Under APB 25, deferred stock-based compensation is recorded at the option grant date in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the market value of a share of common stock over the exercise price of the option. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the individual options, generally two to four years, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation”, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

We apply the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for valuing options granted to non-employees. Stock compensation expense resulting from the issuance of options to non-employees is recognized as services are performed and the options are earned. There have been no options issued to non-employees during the periods presented. The issuance of shares for consideration that is less than the market value of the shares results in compensation expense equal to the excess of the market value of the shares over the fair value of the consideration received.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”. This Statement amends SFAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements.

SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had Genesis adopted the fair value method for all stock option grants as of the beginning of its 1996 fiscal year. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from Genesis’ 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.

Genesis’ calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a dividend yield of 0% and the assumptions noted in the following tables.

The weighted average fair values of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 were $ 7.74 and $ 7.35 respectively. The weighted average fair values of options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 were $ 10.25 and $ 11.07 respectively.

Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value of awards at the grant dates in accordance with the methodology prescribed in SFAS 123, Genesis’ net loss and loss per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 would approximate the pro forma disclosure as follows:

The effects on pro forma disclosure of applying SFAS 123 are not likely to be representative of the effects on pro forma disclosure in future years.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss in a period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period. Diluted loss per share is calculated in order to give effect to all potential shares of common stock issuable during the period on the exercise of outstanding options or warrants. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is calculated by assuming that any proceeds from potential shares of common stock, such as stock options, are used to repurchase shares of common stock at the average market share price in the period.

Per share information calculated on this basis is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Had we been profitable during the three and six months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share would have been increased by (in thousands):

Genesis operates and tracks its results in one operating segment. Genesis designs, develops and markets integrated circuits that process digital video and graphic images.

Geographic revenue information is based on product shipment destination. Long-lived assets include property and equipment, acquired intangible assets, and goodwill. Property and equipment information is based on the physical location of the asset while the intangible assets are based on the location of the owning entity.

Genesis invoices its customers in U.S. dollars. Revenues from unaffiliated customers by geographic region were as follows (in thousands):

The following table shows the percentage of our revenues in each period that was derived from customers who individually accounted for more than 10% of revenues in that period:

The following table shows customers accounting for more than 10% of accounts receivable trade at September 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004:

Genesis subcontracts portions of its semiconductor manufacturing from several suppliers and no single product is fabricated by more than one supplier. Should our wafer supplier or any of Genesis’ packaging or testing subcontractors cease to be available, management believes that this would have a material adverse effect on Genesis’ business, financial condition and results of operations. Genesis has no guarantee of minimum capacity from its suppliers and is not liable for minimum purchase commitments.

In April 2001, Silicon Image, Inc. (“Silicon Image”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Genesis in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and simultaneously filed a complaint before the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The complaint and suit alleged that certain Genesis products that contain digital receivers infringe various Silicon Image patent claims. Silicon Image was seeking an injunction to halt the sale, manufacture and use of Genesis’s DVI receiver products and unspecified monetary damages. In December 2001 Silicon Image formally moved to withdraw its complaint before the ITC and those proceedings have terminated. The trial in the case before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia was set for January 2003, but the trial was taken off the calendar of the court in December 2002. In July 2003, the district court issued a memorandum opinion, followed by a final judgment in August 2003 and an amended final judgment in December 2003. In its opinion, the district court ruled that Genesis and Silicon Image have settled their disputes based on a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, signed on December 18, 2002. The district court’s opinion states that the MOU is a binding settlement agreement. The MOU states that Genesis has received a license for the right to use non-necessary claims under the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Adopters Agreement and allows Genesis to receive a license to the non-necessary claims under the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Adopters Agreement. In addition, the MOU provides that Genesis has been granted a license to expand use of necessary claims in the DVI Adopters Agreement to the consumer electronics marketplace. The district court’s opinion states that Genesis will pay Silicon Image a monetary settlement, license fee and running royalties on all DVI and HDMI products. The MOU further states that the companies will promote interoperability of DVI and HDMI. In December 2003, the district court found Genesis in civil contempt for disclosing the MOU to Pixelworks, Inc. during merger discussions with Pixelworks. The amount of the penalty for the contempt finding has not been determined as of the date hereof; however, the estimated amount of the penalty has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. In January 2004, Genesis filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2004, the district court issued an order regarding the proper disposition of the funds in escrow and the amount necessary to bond the judgment pending appeal. In April 2004, the court also granted Genesis’s motion to stay effectiveness of the amended final judgment pending appeal. We recorded a provision for costs associated with this patent litigation in the year ended March 31, 2003, a portion of which was paid in escrow to the court in August 2003 and an additional undisclosed amount was paid to the court as a bond in March 2004. The payments to the court have been accounted for as reductions of the related liability. The future financial impact arising from any appeal or other legal actions related to the dispute is not yet determinable and no other provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs associated with this claim.

In March 2002, Genesis filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Media Reality Technologies, Inc. (“MRT”), SmartASIC Inc., and Trumpion Microelectronics, Inc. (“Trumpion”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleged that certain MRT, SmartASIC and Trumpion products, which are sold as video/graphics display controllers, infringe various claims of a Genesis U.S. patent. This patent has also been issued in Japan and Korea and is pending in Taiwan. As part of this lawsuit, Genesis sought monetary damages and a permanent injunction that bars MRT and Trumpion from making, using, importing, offering to sell, or selling the allegedly infringing products in the United States. In September 2002, Genesis filed a similar patent infringement complaint against the three companies in the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), as discussed below. Except for the counterclaims by MRT discussed below, the Northern

District of California case has been stayed pending the outcome of the ITC action and currently remains stayed. In January 2003, Genesis announced a settlement of its litigation against SmartASIC Inc.; the litigation with respect to the other defendants has not been settled. MRT has asserted counterclaims against Genesis, alleging trade secret misappropriation, interference with economic advantage, and unfair practices and competition. Genesis intends to vigorously defend against these claims. In addition, in response to a complaint filed by MRT, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission is investigating Genesis’s alleged violation of the Taiwan Fair Trade Law. The future financial impact of these claims is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs or settlements associated with these claims.

In September 2002, Genesis filed a patent infringement complaint against MRT, SmartASIC Inc., and Trumpion in the ITC. The Genesis legal action alleged that MRT, SmartASIC, and Trumpion products infringe Genesis’s patented technology. In January 2003, Genesis announced a settlement of its litigation against SmartASIC Inc. Genesis sought an order from the ITC to exclude MRT and Trumpion’s products and other products containing MRT or Trumpion’s products from entry into the United States. On October 15, 2002, the ITC voted to institute an investigation into the complaint. In October 2003, the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) of the ITC issued an initial determination that MRT and Trumpion did not infringe the asserted patent. However, in January 2004, the ITC remanded the case to the ALJ to make new findings under a different interpretation of the patent. On May 20, 2004, the ALJ issued a revised initial determination that MRT and Trumpion infringe the asserted patent.

In March 2003, Genesis filed a second patent infringement complaint against MRT and Trumpion in the ITC. Genesis subsequently amended its complaint to add Mstar Semiconductor, Inc. (“Mstar”) as a respondent, and withdrew its complaint against Trumpion. The Genesis legal action alleges that Mstar’s MST series of products and MRT’s Mascot series of products infringe Genesis’s patented technology. Genesis sought an order from the ITC to exclude Mstar’s and MRT’s products and other products containing MRT or Mstar’s products from entry into the United States. In April 2003, the ITC voted to institute an investigation into the complaint. In April 2004, the ALJ issued an initial determination that Mstar infringes one of two the patents asserted against it, and that MRT did not infringe the one patent asserted against it in this case.

On May 21, 2004 the ITC combined the two patent infringement cases into one case. In June 2004, Mstar filed a petition for preliminary injunction against a Genesis supplier in Taiwan district court, alleging that a certain Genesis product infringes Mstar’s Taiwanese patent. Mstar subsequently withdrew this petition in July 2004. Genesis filed a reverse injunction suit against Mstar in Taiwan district court, alleging no infringement and invalidity of the Mstar patent at issue, which such suit is pending.

On August 20, 2004, the ITC determined that Mstar, MRT and Trumpion infringed Genesis’s patent, and issued an exclusion order preventing the importation of MStar, MRT and Trumpion’s display controllers into the United States, as well as LCD monitors and boards containing these products.

The future financial impact of these claims is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs or settlements associated with these claims.

In November 2002, a putative securities class action captioned Kuehbeck v. Genesis Microchip et al., Civil Action No. 02-CV-05344, was filed against Genesis, former Chief Executive Officer Amnon Fisher, and Interim Chief Executive Officer Eric Erdman, and amended in July 2003 to include Executive Vice President Anders Frisk (collectively the “Individual Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against Genesis and the Individual Defendants, and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Genesis’s common stock between April 29, 2002 and June 14, 2002. In April 2004, the

court granted Genesis’s motion to dismiss the case, but gave the plaintiff leave to amend her complaint. On May 17, 2004, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Genesis believes that it has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and will continue to defend the litigation vigorously. The future financial impact of this claim is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs associated with this claim.

An unfavorable resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on Genesis’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

On March 17, 2003, Genesis entered into an agreement to merge with Pixelworks, Inc. (“Pixelworks”).

On August 5, 2003, Genesis and Pixelworks entered into an agreement to terminate the proposed merger. Under the terms of the agreement, each of the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims, and Pixelworks agreed to immediately pay Genesis $5.5 million as a reimbursement for its expenses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following 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. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth in the following discussion, and, in particular, the risks discussed below under the subheading “Risk Factors” and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements.

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) with a general discussion of our target markets, the nature of our products, and some of the business issues we are facing as a company. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our Results of Operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2004 compared to the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 as viewed through the eyes of Management. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the section entitled Liquidity and Capital Resources. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

We develop and market image-processing solutions. We design, develop and market integrated circuits that receive and process digital video and graphic images. We also supply reference boards and designs that incorporate our software and proprietary integrated circuits, or chips. Our products are primarily used in displays which contain a large liquid crystal display (“LCD”). These displays may be used in desktop monitor applications, or other types of video displays, including LCD TVs, Plasma TVs, Rear Projection TVs and Digital CRT TVs.

We generate the majority of our revenue by selling our image-processing solutions to the manufacturers of LCD monitors and television sets. We outsource the manufacturing of our products to large semiconductor manufacturers, thereby eliminating the need for capital-intensive plant and equipment. Our targeted long-term gross profit percentage is approximately 40%. Our most significant cash operating expense is labor, with our workforce employed in research and development of new products and technologies and in marketing, sales, customer support, and distribution of our products.

While we continue to service the increasing demand for flat panel computer monitors, we are devoting more resources to the rapidly growing demand for flat panel and digital televisions. We also design products that serve both applications, or the so-called multimedia display applications, and it is difficult to distinguish between a monitor with television capability and a television with a PC input. Both of these display devices could use the same Genesis chip. Similarly, we supply certain customers with chips originally designed for a computer monitor that the customer may use as entry-level flat panel television controllers. We assist customers in developing their designs. Typically, a TV design will take more time and support than a monitor design from our software and field application engineers, increasing our costs during a customer’s pre-production period.

The growth in our target markets is limited by the industry’s capacity to supply LCD panels or other digital displays. Furthermore, the availability of LCD panels from time to time has been constrained, causing unexpected increases in the cost of LCD panels to our customers, thus resulting in customers rapidly changing their demand expectations for our products. Our products usually represent less than two percent of the average retail cost of a standard 17” LCD TV today, while the cost of the LCD panel within a flat panel computer monitor or LCD TV represents the majority of the cost of the finished product. Consequently, constraints on availability of LCD panels or increases in panel costs can result in reduced demand for our products, and it is very difficult to accurately predict the availability or cost of LCD panels and well beyond our means to control. Conversely, it is the increase in production volumes of larger size LCD panels in new fabrication facilities coming on line over the next several years that is expected to result in lower-cost panels and hence lower average selling prices of the end product. While panel prices have decreased significantly over the last few months, the impact of this price decline has not yet been fully reflected at the retail level. However, we believe retail prices will continue to decline in the coming months and we expect this to lead to an increase in demand for display controllers.

Our industry is very competitive and growth industries like ours tend to attract new entrants. The flat panel computer monitor industry is highly competitive. Our average selling prices of monitor display controllers, in spite of increased functionality have declined by more than 50% over the past two years. We expect the flat panel television industry will be as competitive over time. Our strategy is to maintain market leadership through integration of new features and functions and by providing the highest image quality at a cost-effective price. We believe we are able to deliver the desired feature-rich image quality through relationships with customers, patented technologies, effective chip design, software capabilities, and customer support. While maintaining our leadership in image quality and product feature sets, we strive to maximize profitability by reducing product cost through efficient chip design and driving costs down throughout our supply chain.

While we primarily market and sell our integrated circuits directly to manufacturers, we also sell finished systems, primarily to the high-end home theatre market, under the Faroudja brand. These products are generally sold through specialty retail channels and represent a very small portion of our overall revenue.

Average selling prices to distributors are typically less than average selling prices to direct customers for similar products. Sales to distributors comprise less than 10% of revenue. Average selling prices and product margins of our products are typically highest during the initial months following product introduction and decline over time and as volume increases.

Part of our overall strategy is to develop intellectual property that is used in our integrated circuits. We have and will continue to defend our intellectual property rights against those companies that may use our technology without the proper authorization. At times we may enter into agreements that allow customers or other companies to license our patented technology.

We recognize revenue from product sales to manufacturers upon shipment, except when risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred upon shipment. In these cases, revenue is not recognized until physical delivery to the customers’ or their agents premises. For shipments to distributors, we recognize revenue upon the distributors’ shipment to their end customers, except in certain circumstances where orders are placed with non-cancelable/non-return terms. An example of this would be when last time orders are placed for products at the end of their life cycle. In this situation, revenue would be recognized upon shipment. Reserves for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of shipment. To date we have not experienced significant product returns.

We generally need to place purchase orders for products before we receive purchase orders from our customers. This is because production lead times for silicon wafers, from which our products are manufactured, can be as long as three months, while many of our customers place orders only one month or less in advance of their requested delivery date. We have agreements with suppliers in Asia such that we are dependent on the suppliers’ manufacturing yields. We continue to look at alternative sources of supply to reduce our reliance on key suppliers and reduce lead times, though dual sourcing for specific products is more costly in terms of set-up and yields are typically lower as each manufacturing supplier ramps up production. While we have frequent communication with significant customers to review their requirements, we are restricted in our ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products and this exposes us to the risk of having either too much or not enough of a particular product. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of inventory held. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded net reserves totaling $849,000, where certain customers plan to transition to next generation products more quickly than previously anticipated. This has led us to conclude that there will be insufficient future demand for certain on-hand inventory to support its carrying value as of September 30, 2004.

We operate through subsidiaries and offices in several countries throughout the world. Our head office is located in Alviso (Silicon Valley), California. Our research and development resources are located in the United States, Canada and India. The majority of our customers are located in Asia, supported by our sales offices in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Our third party suppliers are located primarily in Taiwan. Although virtually all of our revenues and costs of revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, portions of our revenue and operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies. Any future strengthening of those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars. We do not currently engage in any hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, other than natural hedges that occur as a result of holding both assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Our operating expenses are also affected by changes in the rate of inflation in the various countries in which we operate.

Technology companies often use mergers or acquisitions to accelerate development of products, to realize potential synergies or to enter new markets. We have made significant acquisitions in the past, for example Sage Inc. in February 2002, resulting in the recording of significant intangible assets on our balance sheet. In March 2003, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Pixelworks, Inc. In August 2003, Genesis and Pixelworks terminated the proposed merger. Under the termination agreement, each of the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims and Pixelworks paid Genesis $5.5 million as a reimbursement for our expenses.

For further details on earlier acquisitions, please refer to previously filed Annual and Quarterly Reports.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. As described below, significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence provision and deferred tax asset valuation, potential settlements and costs associated with patent litigation and the useful lives of intangible assets. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations and litigation and other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about 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.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. We perform our annual impairment test on January 1st of each year. We did not record any goodwill impairment charges in the six months ended September 30, 2004 nor in the six months ended September 30, 2003. Goodwill balances may also be affected by changes in other estimates made at the time of acquisitions.

The following table shows unaudited statement of operations data for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003:

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 4.0% to $50.1 million from $48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Unit shipments grew significantly, increasing by 28% from the previous year. However, the revenue impact from these unit volumes was offset for the most part by declining average selling prices (“ASP”) of 19% during the same period. Overall ASP declines have begun to slow down as demand for flat panel televisions begin to increase and become a greater proportion of overall shipments. Our overall ASP increased by 2% from the three months ended June 30, 2004.

The majority of our shipments continue to be to customers located in Asia. Within this region, many of our Taiwan customers have established production facilities in China and, as a result, our shipments to China continue to increase.

Revenues from shipments into displays with video capability, such as LCD television, continued to increase and have become a larger proportion of total revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, we estimate that almost 50% of total revenue was from consumer video related products, compared with 28% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. We expect strong competition in all sectors of the market to continue, but we are pleased to see that declines in average selling prices at the low-end of the display controller market appear to have slowed, and we believe there are fewer new entrants into the marketplace. As for higher-end display controllers with video capability, we believe there remains considerable opportunity to add features and reduce system cost through further integration.

In addition to revenue from shipments of display controllers, we began to generate revenues from licensing of our patented technology to third parties in connection with our favorable final determination in the ITC case. We signed licensing agreements with a number of customers during the three months ended September 30, 2004. By licensing to our customers, we are providing them with the flexibility to maintain multiple sources for supply, while ensuring that we are compensated for the rights to use our intellectual property.

We currently anticipate that revenues in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 will be between $46 and $51 million. Due to uncertainties in the growth rates of our markets in the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we are targeting a broader revenue range than in the past, based on current market conditions and customer order patterns. Revenue is highly dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the growth rate of the LCD monitor, flat-panel TV and the company’s other markets, the degree of acceptance of the company’s products in those markets, customer inventory levels and manufacturing schedules, availability of other components for LCD monitors and flat-panel TVs, changes in product pricing and actions of competitors, the company’s ability to maintain design wins with customers and make timely new product introductions, supply of products from the company’s third party suppliers and general economic conditions.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased to $21.3 million from $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit represented 42.5% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared with 39.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The improvement in gross margin percentage is better than previously expected and is attributable to the higher-than-expected proportion of shipments into video applications, the mix of LCD monitor products sold, and the contribution of licensing revenue.

We expect gross profit margins in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to be in the range of 42% to 44% for the company as a whole. Gross margins could be higher or lower than expected due to many factors including, but not limited to changes in product costs by our third party manufacturers, product pricing and actions of competitors, manufacturing yields, inventory reserves, actual revenue levels and product mix.

Management focuses on particular operating expenses in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance. The following table presents these expenses in the form reviewed by management. Significant trends and fluctuations between periods are addressed in the narrative which follows. In order to evaluate operating performance, management internally reports operating expenses in categories of a cash, non-cash, and non-recurring nature. Non-cash expenses such as the amortization of intangible assets and the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation are reviewed separately from other operating expenses. Management finds this presentation to be a more effective method of assessing current operating performance.

Research and development expenses include costs associated with research and development personnel, development tools, hardware and software licenses, and prototyping. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 were $8.0 million, compared with $7.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003. This 10% increase was primarily due to higher labor-related costs and software expense as we continued to invest more heavily in the research and development of technologies addressing the television and video markets. In addition, the mix of spending changed, with less effort directed at lower-end monitor applications, and more focus on multimedia and video applications. While we continue to add resources performing research and development, most of these additions are expected to be in lower-cost geographic locations such as Bangalore and Toronto to enable us to increase resources and productivity at lower incremental cost.

These expenses represented 15.9% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2004, and 15.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs for selling, including field application engineers, marketing communications, product marketing, customer support, finance, human resources, legal and general management functions and of commissions paid to regional sales representatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 were $10.5 million, compared with $9.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003. Much of the increase reflects the investment in building both the brand value of our products and the infrastructure, including increased headcount, to support the expected growth in the advanced display market, and costs associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We market our “DCDi® by Faroudja” and other brands directly through trade shows and publications, and indirectly through partnerships with companies that use our products. We believe that in building brand awareness, we will establish a reputation for quality and performance of our products in high-end applications. This may be one of the cornerstones of our success as the consumer electronics market grows and as these displays become more affordable to the end user.

We also provide technical sales support through field application engineers in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. These engineers assist our customers to integrate our products into their display designs. We believe that this kind of investment at the early stages of a growing market positions us well to capitalize on the future unit growth that is forecasted for the television market. We expect these costs to continue to increase during fiscal 2005 as we assist customers in design activity in anticipation of production volumes in fiscal 2006 and beyond.

These expenses represented 21.0% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 20.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and In-Process Research and Development

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. We anticipate the amortization of existing acquired intangibles to remain constant at $2.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and to be fully amortized by the end of fiscal 2006.

As part of the accounting for the acquisition of Sage in February 2002, the intrinsic value of unvested options issued in exchange for previously issued Sage options, totaling approximately $18.4 million, is being amortized to expense over the remaining term of the options, categorized in the statement of operations in accordance with the nature of the service provided by the related employees. In assessing operating performance, management excludes these expenses from other research and development and selling, general and administrative costs. We expect the quarterly amortization of deferred stock-based compensation to decline over the remainder of fiscal 2005, and be fully amortized by the end of fiscal 2006.

We have incurred significant costs associated with patent litigation over the past three fiscal years. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, we incurred legal costs of $0.6 million associated with ongoing patent litigation. In the three months ended September 30, 2003, we recognized total costs of $3.5 million, the majority of which was in connection with certain patent litigation brought by us against several companies resulting in a favorable ruling in August 2004. If we decide to take legal action against other companies in the future, or if intellectual property litigation is brought against us or our customers, these costs may increase. More details of the various litigation matters are described in Part II: Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 were $22.3 million, representing a decrease of $1.8 million from $24.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003, for the reasons described above. We expect total combined operating expenses of approximately $22 million to $23.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004, including approximately $3.2 million of non-cash charges for the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation and acquired intangibles. We anticipate expenses to increase slightly over last quarter, primarily due to labor-related costs for additional engineering and field customer support personnel, as well as, increases in marketing related to product introductions and product development costs.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Our accounting effective tax rate differs from the expected statutory rates due to several permanent differences including, but not limited to, federal and state research and experimental development tax credits, stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange fluctuations and differences in tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. The net tax benefit of these items is partially offset by changes in the valuation allowance against net operating loss carryforwards in the United States. Therefore, the effective tax rate for accounting purposes is, and will continue to be, directly impacted by the mix of earnings between the United States and foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent that it is not more likely that some portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

On October 22, 2004, the “American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” was signed into law in the United States, amending certain rules surrounding tax liabilities arising on repatriation of funds from foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2004, the company has considered its undistributed foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested in

the foreign jurisdictions, no taxes that would be exigible if the funds were repatriated have been provided. Genesis is currently considering whether it should repatriate any funds as a result of this change in legislation. If it chooses to do so, this may result in an additional tax charge in the period during which any decision is made.

The following table shows unaudited statement of operations data for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003:

Revenues of $102.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were higher than the $102.1 million recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2003. Unit shipments increased by 28% from the previous year. However, the revenue impact from these unit volumes was offset by declining average selling prices (“ASP”) of 19% during the same period.

During the six months ended September 30, 2004, we estimate that approximately 46% of total revenue was from consumer video related products, compared with 25% for the six months ended September 30, 2003.

Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2004 did not change significantly from the previous period. Gross profit increased by $0.2 million to $42.4 million. This also resulted in similar gross profit percentage for both periods, with 41.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2004 compared with 41.3% for the corresponding period during fiscal 2004.

As with the discussion of the three month period earlier in this MD&A, the following table presents operating expenses for the six month periods ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 in the form reviewed by Management.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were $15.6 million, compared with $13.7 million in the six months ended September 30, 2003. As for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, this 14% increase was due to higher labor related costs and hardware and software license expenses as we continued to invest more heavily in the research and development of technologies addressing the advanced television and video markets.

These expenses represented 15.1% of revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2004, and 13.4% in the six months ended September 30, 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were $21.5 million, compared with $18.9 million in the six months ended September 30, 2003. This increase reflects the investment in building both the brand value of our products and the infrastructure, including increased headcount, to support the expected growth in the advanced display market, and costs associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

These expenses represented 20.9% of revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 18.5% in the six months ended September 30, 2003.

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and In-Process Research and Development

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $5.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation declined by $0.2 million to $1.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 from $1.8 million during the six months ended September 30, 2003, as the related options become fully vested over time.

These costs decreased significantly for the six months ended September 30, 2004, declining by $4.7 million, or 77%, as ITC proceedings came to an end during the period. More details of the various litigation matters are described in Part II: Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Total operating expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were $45.4 million compared to $45.8 million.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2003. Our accounting effective tax rate differs from the expected statutory rates due to several permanent differences including, but not limited to, federal and state research and experimental development tax credits, stock-based compensation expense,

foreign exchange fluctuations and differences in tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. The net tax benefit of these items is partially offset by changes in the valuation allowance against net operating loss carryforwards in the United States. Therefore, the effective tax rate for accounting purposes is, and will continue to be, directly impacted by the mix of earnings between the United States and foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Since inception we have satisfied our liquidity needs primarily through cash generated from operations and sales of equity securities, initially by way of a public offering, and subsequently under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. We believe that our existing cash balances together with any cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our capital and operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

Periodically, we may be required to use a portion of our cash balances to increase investment in operating assets such as accounts receivable or inventory to assist in the growth of our business, or for capital assets such as land, buildings or equipment. Furthermore, because we do not have our own semiconductor manufacturing facility, we may be required to make deposits to secure supply in the event there is a shortage of manufacturing capacity in the future. While we currently have no plans to raise additional funds for such uses, we could be required or could elect to seek to raise additional capital in the future.

From time to time we evaluate acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that are complementary or strategic to our business. Any such transactions, if consummated, may use a portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity securities that may result in further dilution to our existing stockholders.

We believe that our financial condition remains strong. At September 30, 2004, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $117.3 million compared with $118.2 million at March 31, 2004. However, our current ratio increased to 7.98 at September 30, 2004 from 7.19 at March 31, 2004. Prior to changes in working capital balances, we generated $6.3 million of cash provided by operations during the six months ended September 30, 2004, compared with $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. We have no debt and we expect to continue to generate cash from operations during fiscal 2005. After changes in working capital balances, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004 compared with $0.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2003.

Working capital uses of cash related primarily to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable. Accounts receivable increased by $5.0 million from March 31, 2004 to September 30, 2004. The days sales outstanding also increased from 46 days at March 31, 2004 to 60 days at September 30, 2004. This increase is attributable to the timing of shipments to our customers during the period and more favorable credit terms offered to customers in response to competitive pressures. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, our three largest customers accounted for 38% of revenue, compared with 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Additionally, the top three customers accounted for 41% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2004 and 44% at March 31, 2004. Inventory levels decreased by 6% from March 31, 2004 to $ 17.3 million, primarily resulting from lower weighted average product cost. Average days of inventory on hand at September 30, 2004 remained

relatively stable at 54 days, compared to 53 days at March 31, 2004. The average inventory levels and inventory turns is impacted by a number of dynamic activities including the accuracy of customer forecasts, expected panel supplies, and pricing considerations. These activities are not necessarily an indication of what inventory turns might be in the future. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $4.0 million during the six months ended September 30, 2004, primarily resulting from the timing of payments made to certain significant suppliers.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $77.6 million during the six months ended September 30, 2004, compared with $0.8 million during the six months ended September 30, 2004. This was primarily due to the net sale of short-term investments of $82.3 million offset by capital expenditures of $3.3 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004, and $5.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2003. This represented funds received for the purchase of shares under the terms of our stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan.

As of September 30, 2004, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under operating leases. These commitments include leases for two premises in the United States, located in San Jose and Alviso, California, two in China and one location in each of Canada, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. In addition, we have obligations under operating leases for equipment. The aggregate minimum annual payments required under our lease obligations, excluding expected sub-lease income, by fiscal year are as follows, in thousands of dollars:

Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of raw material and other goods and services have not been separately disclosed. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. Our purchase orders for manufacturing are based on our current needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short time horizons. We do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for three months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however, the obligations under these contracts are not significant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for cancellation without significant penalty.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

We do not have any capital commitments that will have a material future effect on our financial condition.

A number of our statements in this report, including those concerning our anticipated revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, liquidity and business strategy, are forward looking and subject to various risks and uncertainties. The following factors may have a harmful impact on our business:

Our quarterly revenues and operating results fluctuate due to a variety of factors, which may result in volatility or a decline in our stock price.

Our historical revenues and operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including:

As a result of the fluctuation in our revenues and operating results, our stock price can be volatile, especially if our actual financial performance in a quarter deviates from the financial targets we set at the beginning of that quarter, or from market expectations.

Our success will depend on the growth of the market for flat panel televisions and LCD monitors.

Our ability to generate revenues will depend on the growth of the market for LCD televisions, LCD computer monitors, and digital televisions. Our continued growth will also depend upon emerging markets for consumer electronics markets such as HDTV and home theater. The potential size of these markets and the timing of their development are uncertain and will depend in particular upon:

These and other potential markets may not develop as expected, which would harm our business.

We have had significant management turnover, and may not be able to retain or attract the key personnel we need to succeed.

We have had significant turnover in our management team, including the position of Chief Executive Officer. Our current chief executive is an Interim Chief Executive Officer and we are in the process of conducting an executive search for this position.

In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain other key employees, including senior management and executive positions. If we cannot attract and retain these key employees, our business would be harmed, particularly if the departure of any key employee results in a business interruption or if we are not successful in preserving material knowledge of our departing employees.

A large percentage of our revenues come from sales to a small number of customers.

The markets for our products are highly concentrated. Our sales are derived from a limited number of customers. Sales to our largest five customers accounted for 57% of our revenues, and for our largest customer 14%, for the three months ended September 30, 2004. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a large amount of our revenues. Most of our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements so that any customer could cease purchasing products at any time without penalty. The decision by any large customer to decrease or cease using our products could harm our business.

If we are unable to introduce new products with higher average selling prices, our financial results may suffer.

Average selling prices for our flat panel monitor products have declined. When average selling prices decline, our revenues decline unless we are able to sell more units, and our gross margins decline unless we are able to reduce our manufacturing and/or other supply chain costs by a commensurate amount or introduce new higher-priced products to offset the declining price of existing products. Our operating results suffer when gross margins decline. We must introduce new products with higher average selling prices in order to counteract the decline in prices for our existing product line.

The sales of our products are highly concentrated and our products may not continue to be accepted in the advanced display industry.

Our sales are derived from a limited number of products. Three of our products accounted for 48% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004. There were no other products accounting for more than ten percent of our revenues. We expect that a small number of products will continue to account for a large amount of our revenues.

Our success in the advanced display market, which includes flat panel computer monitors, as well as LCD and digital televisions, home theater, DVD, and HDTV will depend upon the extent to which manufacturers of those products incorporate our integrated circuits into their products. Our ability to sell products into this market will depend upon demand for the functionality provided by our products and their pricing. We typically need to determine the functionality of our products and to complete their design in advance of our customers completing the designs of their products. As a result, we may not be able to react to changes in our customers’ desired functionality in a timely manner.

We must develop new products and enhance our existing products to react to rapid technological change.

We must develop new products and enhance our existing products with improved technologies to meet rapidly evolving customer requirements and industry standards. We need to design products for customers that continually require higher functionality at lower costs. This requires us to continue to add features to our products and to include all of these features on a single chip. The development process for these advancements is lengthy and will require us to accurately anticipate technological innovations and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is time-consuming, costly and complex. There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications, and will not be competitive with other products using alternative technologies that offer comparable functionality. We may be unable to successfully develop new products or product enhancements. Any new products or product enhancements may not be accepted in new or existing markets. If we fail to develop and introduce new products or product enhancements, that failure will harm our business.

The market in which we operate is intensely competitive and is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards and rapidly declining average selling prices. We compete with both large companies and start-up companies, including ATI Technologies, Micronas Semiconductor Holding AG, Media Reality Technologies, Inc., Mstar Semiconductor, Inc., Novatek Microelectronics, Oplus Technologies, Ltd., Philips Semiconductors, a division of Philips Electronics N.V., Pixelworks, Inc., Realtek Semiconductor Corp., Silicon Image, Inc., ST Microelectronics, Inc., Trident Microsystems, Inc., Trumpion Microelectronics, Inc. and Zoran Corporation. In addition, many of our current and potential customers have their own internally developed integrated circuit solutions, and may choose not to purchase solutions from third party suppliers like Genesis.

As the market for our products continues to develop, our current customers may increase reliance on their own internally developed solutions, and competition from diversified electronic and semiconductor companies will intensify. Some competitors, which may include our own customers, are likely to include companies with greater financial and other resources than us. Increased competition could harm our business, by, for example, increasing pressure on our profit margins or causing us to lose customers. Also, the federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia has issued an amended final judgment which states that we have received a license from Silicon Image, Inc. for certain of their DVI and HDMI patents, and must pay Silicon Image royalties on all of our DVI and HDMI products. This amended final judgment, if not overturned on appeal, could hinder our ability to compete with unlicensed competitors that are not required to pay royalties on competing products.

Our future operating results are highly dependent upon how well we manage our business.

Our future operating results will depend in large part on how well we manage our business, including our ability to:

Any failure by us to effectively manage our business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Intellectual property infringement suits brought against us or our customers may significantly harm our business

We have been defending claims brought against us by Silicon Image, Inc., alleging that certain of our products that contain digital receivers infringe various Silicon Image patent claims. On December 19, 2003, the court issued its amended final judgment in the proceeding, which such judgment is being appealed; see Part II Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. In addition, IP Innovation LLC has sued Dell Computer Corporation, alleging patent infringement by certain of Dell’s LCD televisions that contain our display controller products. These lawsuits or any future patent infringement lawsuits could subject us to permanent injunctions preventing us from selling the accused products and/or cause us to incur significant costs, including defense costs, settlements and judgments. In addition, as a result of these lawsuits or any future patent infringement lawsuits, our existing customers may decide to stop buying our products, and prospective customers may be unwilling to buy our products.

Intellectual property lawsuits, regardless of their success, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention.

In addition, if we are unsuccessful and our products (or our customers’ monitors or televisions that contain our products) are found to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could be forced to do one or more of the following:

As a result, intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial results and market share.

We may be required to indemnify our customers against claims of intellectual property infringement

From time to time, we enter into agreements with our customers that contain indemnification provisions for claims based on infringement of third party intellectual property rights. As a result, if such a claim based on our products is made against an indemnified customer, we may be required under our indemnification obligations to defend or settle the litigation, and/or to reimburse that customer for its costs, including defense costs, settlements and judgments. For example, some of our customers have requested assistance and indemnification in connection with a lawsuit brought against Dell Computer Corporation by IP Innovation LLC alleging patent infringement by certain LCD televisions that may contain our products. This or other patent litigation and any indemnification obligations we may have could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial results and market share, and could result in significant payments by us that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary technologies.

We have been issued patents and have pending United States and foreign patent applications. However, we cannot assure you that any patent will be issued as a result of any applications or, if issued, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, or technology without authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Effective copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in foreign countries. In addition, it is possible that existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.

We are a defendant in a securities class action suit. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims in the securities class action suit as well as adequate insurance coverage to cover any likely unfavorable outcome. However, this or any future securities class action suit could subject us to judgments in excess of our insurance coverage and could harm our business. In addition, this kind of lawsuit, regardless of its outcome, is likely to be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and may divert management time and resources.

The processes used to manufacture our semiconductor products are periodically retired.

As semiconductor manufacturing technologies advance, manufacturers typically retire their older manufacturing processes in favor of newer processes. When this occurs, the manufacturer generally provides notice to its customers of its intent to discontinue a process, and its customers will either retire the affected part or design a newer version of the part that can be manufactured on the more advanced process. Consequently, our products may become unavailable from their current manufacturers if the processes on which they are produced are discontinued. Our

devices are mainly 0.25 and 0.18 micron technology and these geometries will likely be available for the next two to three years. We must manage the transition to new parts from existing parts. We have commitments from our suppliers to provide notice of any discontinuance of their manufacturing processes in order to assist us in managing these types of product transitions.

Our semiconductor products are complex and are difficult to manufacture cost-effectively.

The manufacture of semiconductors is a complex process. It is often difficult for semiconductor foundries to achieve acceptable product yields. Product yields depend on both our product design and the manufacturing process technology unique to the semiconductor foundry. Since low yields may result from either design or process difficulties, identifying yield problems can only occur well into the production cycle, when a product exists which can be physically analyzed and tested.

Defects in our products could increase our costs, cause customer claims, and delay our product shipments.

Although we test our products, they are complex and may contain defects and errors. In the past we have encountered defects and errors in our products. Delivery of products with defects or reliability, quality or compatibility problems may damage our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. In addition, product defects and errors could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical resources, delayed product shipments, increased product returns, and product liability claims against us which may not be fully covered by insurance. Any of these could harm our business.

We do not have our own fabrication facilities, assembly or testing operations. Instead, we rely on others to fabricate, assemble and test all of our products. Most of our products use silicon wafers manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, the loss of which could result in a material increase in the price we must pay for silicon wafers. None of our products are fabricated by more than one supplier. There are many risks associated with our dependence upon outside manufacturing, including:

We depend upon outside manufacturers to fabricate silicon wafers on which our integrated circuits are imprinted. These wafers must be of acceptable quality and in sufficient quantity and the manufacturers must deliver them to assembly and testing subcontractors on time for packaging into final products. We have at times experienced delivery delays and long manufacturing lead times. These manufacturers fabricate, test and assemble products for other companies. We cannot be sure that our manufacturers will devote adequate resources to the production of our products or deliver sufficient quantities of finished products to us on time or at an acceptable cost. The lead-time necessary to establish a strategic relationship with a new manufacturing partner is considerable. We would be unable to readily obtain an alternative source of supply for any of our products if this proves necessary. Any occurrence of these manufacturing difficulties could harm our business or cause us to incur costs to obtain adequate and timely supply of products.

Our third-party wafer foundries, third-party assembly and test subcontractors and significant customers are located in an area susceptible to natural disasters.

Most of our outside foundries, third-party assembly and test subcontractors are located in Taiwan, which is an area susceptible to natural disasters. In addition, some of our significant customers are located in Taiwan. Damage caused by natural disasters in Taiwan may result in shortages of water or electricity or cause transportation difficulties that could limit the production capacity of our outside foundries or the ability of our subcontractors to provide assembly and test services. Any reduction in production capacity or the ability to provide assembly and test services could cause delays or shortages in our product supply, which would harm our business. Foundries located in Taiwan were responsible for most of our semiconductor product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Sales to customers located in Taiwan were 17% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004. If future natural disasters damage our customers’ facilities or equipment they could reduce their purchases of our products, which would harm our business. In addition, the operations of suppliers to our outside foundries and our Taiwanese customers could be disrupted by future natural disasters, which could in turn harm our business by resulting in shortages in our product supply or reduced purchases of our products.

We do not have long-term commitments from our customers, and we allocate resources based on our estimates of customer demand.

Our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments. In addition, our customers may cancel or defer purchase orders. We manufacture our products according to our estimates of customer demand. This process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we overestimate customer demand, we may manufacture products that we may not be able to sell. As a result, we would have excess inventory, which would increase our losses. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand or if sufficient manufacturing capacity were unavailable, we would forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships.

Our lengthy sales cycle can result in uncertainty and delays in generating revenues.

Because our products are based on new technology and standards, a lengthy sales process, typically requiring several months or more, is often required before potential customers begin the technical evaluation of our products. This technical evaluation can then exceed six months. It can take an additional six months before a customer commences volume shipments of systems that incorporate our products. However, even when a manufacturer decides to design our products into its systems, the manufacturer may never ship systems incorporating our products. Given our lengthy sales cycle, we experience a delay between the time we increase expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing efforts and inventory and the time we generate revenues, if any, from these expenditures. As a result, our business could be harmed if a significant customer reduces or delays its orders or chooses not to release products incorporating our products.

Our business depends on relationships with industry leaders that are non-binding.

We work closely with industry leaders in the markets we serve to design products with improved performance, cost and functionality. We typically commit significant research and development resources to such design activities. We often divert financial and personnel resources from other development projects without entering into agreements obligating these industry leaders to continue the collaborative design project or to purchase the resulting products. The failure of an industry leader to complete development of a collaborative design project or to purchase the products resulting from such projects would have an immediate and serious impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our inability to establish such relationships in the future would, similarly, harm our business.

A large percentage of our revenues will come from sales outside of the United States, which creates additional business risks.

A large portion of our revenues will come from sales to customers outside of the United States, particularly to equipment manufacturers located in South Korea, China, Japan and Taiwan. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, sales to regions outside of the United States represented 95% of revenues. For that same period, sales to China and South Korea alone constituted 33% and 25%, respectively, of revenues. These sales are subject to numerous risks, including:

Because our sales are denominated in United States dollars, increases in the value of the United States dollar could increase the price of our products in non-U.S. markets and make our products more expensive than competitors’ products denominated in local currencies.

We are subject to risks associated with international operations, which may harm our business.

We depend on product design groups located outside of the United States, primarily in Canada and in India. We also rely on foreign third-party manufacturing, assembly and testing operations. These foreign operations subject us to a number of risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States, including the following:

In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries in which our products are or may be designed, manufactured or sold may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. This increases the possibility of piracy of our technology and products.

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may lead to significant variances in the demand for our products.

In the past, significant downturns and wide fluctuations in supply and demand have characterized the semiconductor industry. Also, the industry has experienced significant fluctuations in anticipation of changes in general economic conditions, including economic conditions in Asia. These cycles have led to significant variances in product demand and production capacity. They have also accelerated the erosion of average selling prices per unit. We may experience periodic fluctuations in our future financial results because of changes in industry-wide conditions.

Our customers experience fluctuating product cycles and seasonality, which causes their sales to fluctuate.

Our products are incorporated into flat panel displays. Because the market for flat panel displays is characterized by numerous new product introductions, our operating

results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our customers also experience seasonality in the sales of their products, which affects their orders of our products. Typically, the second half of the calendar year represents a disproportionate percentage of sales for our customers due to the holiday shopping period for these products, and therefore, a disproportionate percentage of our sales. Also, our sales in the first quarter of the calendar year may be lower as a result of the Chinese New Year holiday in Asia. We expect these sales fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future.

We have experienced significant growth, which places a great strain on our management and other resources. To manage our growth effectively, we must:

We must also manage multiple relationships with customers, business partners, and other third parties, such as our foundry and test partners. Moreover, we will spend substantial amounts of time and money in connection with our rapid growth and may have unexpected costs. Our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our operations and we may not be able to expand quickly enough to exploit potential market opportunities. Our future operating results will also depend on expanding sales and marketing, research and development and administrative support. If we cannot attract qualified people or manage growth effectively, our business would be seriously harmed.

A breakdown in our information technology systems could cause a business interruption, impair our ability to manage our business or report results, or result in the unauthorized disclosure of our confidential and proprietary information.

Our information technology systems could suffer a sudden breakdown as a result of factors beyond our control, such as earthquakes, insecure connections or problems with our outside consultants who provide information technology services to us. If our information technology systems were to fail and we were not able to gain timely access to adequate alternative systems or back-up information, this could have a negative impact on our ability to operate and manage our business and to report results in a timely manner. Also, any breach of our information systems by an unauthorized third party could result in our confidential information being made public or being used by a competitor, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to realize the potential of our proprietary rights.

We may make acquisitions where advisable, and acquisitions involve numerous risks.

Our growth is dependent upon market growth and our ability to enhance our existing products and introduce new products on a timely basis. One of the ways we may address the need to develop new products is through acquisitions of other companies or technologies, such as our acquisitions of Sage and the assets of VM Labs. The recent acquisitions and potential future acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:

Acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our recent or potential future acquisitions will be successful and will not adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. We

must also maintain our ability to manage growth effectively. Failure to manage growth effectively and successfully integrate acquisitions made by us could materially harm our business and operating results.

New laws require that we undertake an evaluation of our internal controls that may identify internal control weaknesses and cause our operating expenses to increase.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the California Disclosure Act and newly proposed or enacted rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers impose new duties on us and our executives, directors, attorneys and independent registered public accountants. In order to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and such new rules and regulations, we are evaluating our internal controls systems to allow management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, our internal controls. We are currently performing the process of evaluation and testing, and any necessary remediation required, in an effort to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These rules are effective for Genesis as of the March 31, 2005 yearend. As a result, we expect to incur additional expenses for outside legal, accounting and advisory services, any of which could materially increase our operating expenses and accordingly reduce our net income or increase our net losses. While we aim to fully implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other aspects of Section 404 in a timely fashion, we cannot be certain as to the outcome of our testing and resulting remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations, since there is no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, our independent auditors will not issue an unqualified opinion, or we may be subject to investigation and/or sanctions by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities Exchange Commission or The NASDAQ Stock Market and our reputation may be harmed, even though non-compliance may not result in an error in financial reporting. Any such action by regulatory authorities could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.

As our business has grown, we have become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Because of the recent economic slowdown, many industries are delaying or reducing technology purchases. As a result, if economic conditions in the United States, Asia or Europe worsen, or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, reduced orders and shipments may cause us to fall short of our revenue expectations for any given period and may result in us carrying increased inventory. These conditions would negatively affect our business and results of operations. If our inventory builds up as a result of order postponement, we would carry excess inventory that is either unusable or that must be sold at reduced prices which will harm our revenues. In addition, weakness in the technology market could negatively affect the cash flow of our customers who could, in turn, delay paying their obligations to us. This would increase our credit risk exposure, which could harm our financial condition.

Terrorist acts and acts of war may seriously harm our business, revenues, costs, expenses and financial condition.

Terrorist acts or acts of war, wherever located around the world, may cause damage or disruption to us, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers and customers, which could significantly impact our revenues, expenses and financial condition. The terrorist attacks that took place in the United States on September 11, 2001 were unprecedented events that have created many economic and political uncertainties, some of which may materially harm our business and results of operations. The long-term effects on our business of the September 11, 2001 attacks are unknown. The potential for future terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks, hostilities in the Middle East, including Iraq, and other acts of war or hostility, especially in the Korean peninsula, have created economic and political uncertainties, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations in ways that cannot be predicted. In addition, as a company with headquarters and significant operations located in the United States, we may be impacted by actions against the United States. We are uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts and acts of war.

We are exposed to financial market risks including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

The fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by either a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio.

We carry out a significant portion of our operations outside of the United States, primarily in Canada and in India and to a lesser extent China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Although virtually all of our revenues and costs of revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, portions of our operating revenue and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and those currencies. Any future strengthening of those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars. We do not currently engage in any hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, other than natural hedges that occur as a result of holding both assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We may in the future undertake hedging or other such transaction if we determine it is necessary to offset exchange rate risks. Based on our overall currency rate exposure at September 30, 2004, a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to a pool of our foreign currencies would not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to ensure information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, company management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

offering to sell, or selling the allegedly infringing products in the United States. In September 2002, Genesis filed a similar patent infringement complaint against the three companies in the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), as discussed below. Except for the counterclaims by MRT discussed below, the Northern District of California case has been stayed pending the outcome of the ITC action and currently remains stayed. In January 2003, Genesis announced a settlement of its litigation against SmartASIC Inc.; the litigation with respect to the other defendants has not been settled. MRT has asserted counterclaims against Genesis, alleging trade secret misappropriation, interference with economic advantage, and unfair practices and competition. Genesis intends to vigorously defend against these claims. In addition, in response to a complaint filed by MRT, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission is investigating Genesis’s alleged violation of the Taiwan Fair Trade Law. The future financial impact of these claims is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs or settlements associated with these claims.

On August 20, 2004, the ITC determined that Mstar, MRT and Trumpion infringe Genesis’s patent, and issued an exclusion order preventing the importation of MStar, MRT and Trumpion’s display controllers into the United States, as well as LCD monitors and boards containing these products.

promulgated thereunder against Genesis and the Individual Defendants, and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of Genesis’s common stock between April 29, 2002 and June 14, 2002. In April 2004, the court granted Genesis’s motion to dismiss the case, but gave the plaintiff leave to amend her complaint. On May 17, 2004, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Genesis believes that it has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and will continue to defend the litigation vigorously. The future financial impact of this claim is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs associated with this claim.

An unfavorable resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on Genesis’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

During the three months ended September 30, 2004 we furnished the following current reports on Form 8-K.

On August 10, 2004, we furnished a Report on Form 8-K related to George A. Duguay’s and Alexander S. Lushtak’s decision not to stand for re-election to our Board of Directors at our 2004 annual meeting of stockholders.

On July 26, 2004, we furnished a Report on Form 8-K related to the announcement of our financial results for our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Our authorized representative has signed this report on our behalf as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
