Introduction

OPTi Inc. a California corporation (“OPTi” or the “Company”), was founded in 1989 as an independent supplier of semiconductor products to the personal computer (“PC”) and embedded marketplaces. In September 2002, the Company’s sold its existing products to Opti Technologies, Inc., an unaffiliated third party and the Company ceased its manufacturing, marketing and sales operations. At this time, the Company is in the process of pursuing infringement claims against third parties that it believes may be infringing the technologies it has developed relating to core logic. Due to this transaction all future revenues for the Company will be generated through royalties related to the sale of the business or from licensing the Company’s intellectual property. The Company has accordingly reduced its operating personnel and expenses to minimum levels.

From inception through 1995, OPTi’s principal business was its core logic products for desktop personal computers and the Company employed as many as 235 employees over the years. However, in time, OPTi faced increasingly tight competition from companies with substantially greater financial, technical, distribution and marketing resources. During February 1999, the Company completely ceased further development of core logic products, although OPTi continued to ship such products to customers up to September 2002. From 1995 through 2003, the Company’s annual net sales declined from $163.7 million to $3.1 million in 2003.

During the third quarter of 2001, as OPTi considered its various strategic alternatives, including voluntary liquidation and dissolution, continuing declines in orders from OPTi customers caused OPTi to temporarily suspended our orders of inventory from semiconductor foundries. In light of the increasing difficult competitive conditions, declining demand on its products, the lack of new product development and declining revenue, the Company determined that OPTi’s business operations would result in continuing losses and the erosion of shareholder value. On September 7, 2001, the Board of Directors approved a plan to voluntarily liquidate and dissolve the Company (the “Liquidation Plan”). Implementation of this plan would have required the approval of its shareholders of the Company and throughout the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company prepared the proxy statement to allow its shareholders to vote on the Liquidation Plan in conjunction with a review of the proxy statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On January 3, 2002, the Company announced a postponement of the Liquidation Plan. The Company’s Board determined that it would be prudent to postpone the Liquidation Plan to allow the Company more time to evaluate its intellectual property position, including the means by which it would pursue claims for the potential infringement of certain of its patents. The Board decision was not due to any change in the Company’s business prospects.

“Transition Period”) procedes the start of the 2003 fiscal year. “2001” and “2000” refer to the years ended December 31, the Transition Period refers to the three months ended March 31, 2002 and “2003” refers to the twelve months ended March 31, 2003.

On February 19, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on each share of its common stock. The Board of Directors decided to distribute the cash dividend based upon the Company’s then existing excess cash position. In May 2002, the Company also distributed to its shareholders stock that the Company held in Tripath Technology, Inc., a publicly traded company. The value of the Tripath Technology, Inc. stock distribution was approximately $2.2 million. The Company currently intends to retain any future earnings for use in its efforts to pursue infringement claims against third parties that it believes may be using the Company’s patented technologies.

Industry Background

During the last decade, the PC industry has grown rapidly as increased functionality combined with lower pricing have made PC” valuable and affordable tolls for business and personal use.

The trend to higher performance, lower cost personal computers has been accompanied by a variety of changes in the market for personal computers and the technologies used to address these emerging market requirements. The consumer and home office sectors have become the fastest growing sectors of the PC market, driven, in part, by the emergence of low-cost multimedia computers and peripherals.

These changes in the PC market and technology directly affect the market for core logic chipsets. The primary customer base for chipsets has shifted significantly to major PC manufactures and to the suppliers to these leading OEM customers, in contrast to prior periods in which motherboard manufacturers and system integrators represented the largest portion of the market for core logic chipsets. Large OEMs require increasingly higher levels of product integration, thus enabling them to reduce parts count and control total product costs.

Growth has continued in the PC market as computer and consumer electronics industries have converged, combining increased multimedia and communications capabilities. Today’s systems increasingly offer more powerful microprocessors, highly integrated chipsets, integrated video, stereo sound, highspeed fax and modem communications and CD-ROM.

OPTi believes that the existing technology used in current generations of core logic chipsets may be infringing some of the patented technology that the Company had developed.

Strategy

Pursue Infringement Claims for Proprietary Chipset Technologies

The Company’s current strategy is to pursue licensing opportunities as a means of resolving potential infringement of its proprietary intellectual property in the core logic area. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company entered into a one-time licensing arrangement for $13,311,000 on the core logic technology that the Company had developed during its existence. The Company believes that there may be additional companies that may be infringing its patents. The Company is actively working to explore all possible arrangements to settle such infringements.

Research and Development

As of June 13, 2003, the Company had no research and development employees. During fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company spent approximately $0.0, $0.0 and $0.5 million on research and development. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

During July 2001, management informed the Board that OPTi’s primary research and development projects on alternative universal serial bus chips and combined chipsets had yielded disappointing results due to delays in getting finished product to the marketplace and, in the opinion of management, no longer justified the continuing expenditure of OPTi’s resources. The Board directed management to cease the development and the related marketing efforts.

At this time the Company is not engaged in any research and development activity.

Intellectual Property

The Company seeks to protect its proprietary technology by the filing of patents. The Company currently has thirty four issued U.S. patents based on certain aspects of the Company’s designs. The Company currently has two pending U.S. patents for its technology, and there can be no assurance that the pending patents will be issued or, if issued, will provide protection for the Company.

The Company has been and may from time to time continue to be notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other third parties. There can be no assurances that these or other companies will not in the future pursue claims against the Company with respect to the alleged infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights. In addition, litigation may be necessary to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights and trade secrets, to determine the validity of and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against third party claims of invalidity. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that additional infringement, invalidity, right to use or ownership claims by third parties or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims will be asserted in the future. The Company has entered into license agreements in the past regarding certain alleged infringement claims asserted by third parties. If any other claims or actions are asserted against the Company, the Company may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance, however, that a license will be available under reasonable terms or at all. The failure to obtain a license under a patent or intellectual property right from a third party for technology used by the Company could cause the Company to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the licensing of the products utilizing the intellectual property. In addition, should the Company decide to litigate the claims, such litigation could be extremely expensive and time consuming and could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the outcome of the litigation.

Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price

Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution

On September 10, 2001, OPTi announced that its Board had approved a plan for the complete liquidation and dissolution of OPTi, pending approval of the plan by its shareholders. On January 3, 2002, OPTi announced a postponement of its plan of voluntary liquidation and dissolution to allow the Company more time to evaluate its intellectual property position, including the means by which it would pursue claims for the infringement of certain of its patents. The Company may decide in the near future to again pursue the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of OPTi.

Any such announcement could affect the trading volume and the price of OPTi’s stock could be affected as investors decide whether or not they wish to hold OPTi shares and potentially receive a liquidating distribution.

Listing of OPTi Common Stock on Nasdaq

Our common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ National Market as long as we continue to meet NASDAQ’s listing maintenance standards. If our common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, trading, if any, would thereafter be conducted on the over-the-counter market in the so-called “pink sheets” or on the “Electronic Bulletin Board” of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Consequently, if our common stock is delisted, shareholders may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our common stock. Of the NASDAQ requirements for continued listing, we believe that our ability to meet the following criteria will determine how long our shares continue to trade on the NASDAQ National Market:

•

Our stockholders’ equity must equal or exceed $10 million or our net tangible asset must equal or exceed $4 million; and

•

The minimum daily per share bid price for our stock must equal or exceed $1.

If we fail to meet NASDAQ’s minimum bid price criterion for 30 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will notify us that we are not meeting the requirement. We will then be given a 90 day grace period during which our shares must exceed the minimum bid price for at least ten consecutive trading days for us to avoid being delisted at the end of the grace period.

Dependence on Intellectual Property Position

The success of the Company’s current strategy of resolving potential infringement of its patented core logic technology can be affected by new developments in intellectual property law generally and with respect to semiconductor patents in particular and upon the Company’s success in defending its patent position. It is difficult to predict developments and changes in intellectual property law in advance. However, such changes could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to pursue infringement claims on its previously developed technology.

Dependence on a Single Source of Revenue

As the Company continues to pursue its patent infringement claims against third parties, its sole current significant revenue stream is its royalty payments from Opti Technologies, Inc, the unaffiliated third party to whom the Company sold rights to its product lines in September 2002. Should the business of Opti Technologies, Inc. become disrupted for any reason or should Opti Technologies become unable or unwilling to continue the remaining royalty payments to the Company, the Company’s revenue would be severely affected. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had received a total of $823,000 in license and royalty payments from Opti Technologies. The maximum license and royalty payments that the Company can receive from the agreement with Opti Technologies is $1,500,000.

Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company has experienced significant fluctuations in its quarterly operating results in the past and expects that it will experience such fluctuations in the future. In the past, these fluctuations have been caused by a variety of factors including increased competition, price competition, changes in customer demand, ability to continue to sale existing products, inventory adjustments, changes in the availability of foundry capacity, changes in the mix of products sold and litigation expenses. In the future, the Company’s operating results in any given period may be adversely impacted by one or more of these factors that may affect the Company directly or licensees of its technologies.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price

There can be no assurances as to the Company’s operating results in any given period. The Company expects that the trading price of its common stock will continue to be subject to significant volatility.

Resolution of the Company’s Patent Infringement Claims

The Company is pursuing a number of patent infringement claims against third parties that it believes may be infringing on its patented technologies. Because the Company’s future revenues are expected to depend largely on the success of such claims, the price of its common stock may react with volatility as resolutions of these claims are achieved and publicly disclosed.

Employees

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had one full-time and two part-time general and administrative employees. The Company’s employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company’s ability to retain key employees is a critical factor to the Company’s success.

Executive Officers of the Registrant

The executive officers of the Company as of June 16, 2003 were as follows:

Name	Age	Position with the Company
Bernard T. Marren	67	President and Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board
Michael Mazzoni	40	Chief Financial Officer and Secretary

Bernard T. Marren has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since May 1998. Mr. Marren was elected as a director in May 1996.

Item 2. Properties

The Company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, where it leases administrative facilities in one location consisting of an aggregate of approximately, 1,800 square feet. The lease on this building expires in October 2003.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, maskwork rights, or copyrights owned by third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in litigation regarding the alleged infringements by the Company of third party intellectual property rights.

However, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Not Applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters

The following required information is filed as a part of this Report:

On February 19, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on each share of its common stock. The Board of Directors decided to distribute the cash dividend based upon the Company’s then existing excess cash position. The Company currently intends to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of its business. The Company intends to re-evaluate its position regarding dissolution in the future and may put forth a vote to its shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders.

The Company’s common stock is traded over-the-counter and is quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol “OPTI”. The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing prices for the Common Stock:

	Quarterly Period Ended

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Information set forth in this report constitutes and includes forward looking information made within the meaning of Section 27A of the Security Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the ability of licensee to continue to sale the licensed products, market conditions generally and in the personal computer and semiconductor industries, changes in intellectual property law in the semiconductor industry and in general and other matters. Readers are encouraged to refer to “Factors Affecting Earnings and Stock Price”.

OPTi was founded in 1989 and is an independent supplier of semiconductor products to the personal computer market. During 2003, the Company sold its operating business to Opti Technologies, Inc., an unrelated third party. Due to this transaction all future revenues for the Company are expected to be generated through royalties or from the licensing of the Company’s intellectual property. The Company anticipates that it will receive additional royalties from Opti Technologies of approximately $500,000 during fiscal 2004 and does not expect to receive additional significant revenue other than through the pursuit of its patent infringement cases and associated licensing efforts.

Critical Accounting Policies

General. Our discussions and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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 that, of the significant accounting policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements (see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), the following are critical accounting policies, which may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Litigation and Contingencies. From time to time, we receive various inquires or claims in connection with patent and other intellectual property rights. We estimate the probable outcome of these claims and accrue estimates of the amounts we expect to pay upon resolution of such matters, if needed. Should we not be able to secure the terms we expect, these estimates may change and may result in increased accruals, resulting in decreased profits.

Change in Fiscal Year

The Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31, to March 31, effective with the year beginning April 1, 2002. A three-month transition period from January 1, 2002 through March 31, 2002 (the “Transition Period”) procedes the start of the 2003 fiscal year. “2001” and “2000” refer to the years ended December 31, the Transition Period refers to the three months ended March 31, 2002 and “2003” refers to the twelve months ended March 31, 2003.

2003 Compared to 2001—Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 (“2003”) decreased approximately 59% to $3.1 million, compared to net sales of $7.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 (“2001”). This decrease was partially attributable to the sale of the operating business in September 2002, to an unaffiliated third party Opti Technologies, Inc. Due to the sale of the operating business the Company had

only six months of product sales during fiscal 2003 versus twelve months of product sales in 2001. The decrease was also attributable to a decrease in sales volume of both the Company’s core logic and Universal Serial Bus controller products. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in license revenue during 2003 of $823,000 due to the licensing and royalty revenue received from Opti Technologies versus no license revenue in 2001. The Company expects that all future revenue will be derived from royalty and license arrangements.

Gross margin for 2003 increased to approximately 58% as compared to 53% in 2001. This increase in gross margin is attributable to the license revenue of $0.8 million in 2003, which had no associated costs of good sold. Gross margin as a percent of net product sales in 2003 was approximately 43% which was a decrease from the 53% of gross margin in 2001. This decrease in gross margin for net product sales in 2003 compared to 2001 was mainly attributable to lower average selling prices of the Company’s universal serial bus controller products.

The Company had no research and development (“R&D) expenses for 2003 as compared to $0.5 million in 2001. This decrease was due to the Company’s decision to terminate all future product development in July of 2001. The Company anticipates no future R&D expenditures.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for 2003 were $1.9 million as compared to $4.3 million in 2001. This decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to reduced headcount related expenses, costs relating to reduced net sales and lower legal fees.

Net interest income and other income for 2003 was $1.7 million as compared to $1.7 million in 2001. Interest and other income for 2003 consists primarily of a realized gain of $1.5 million relating to the distribution of the Tripath Technology, Inc. shares in May 2003 and interest income. Interest and other income in 2001 consists primarily of interest income. The decrease in interest income of $0.2 million in 2003 as compare to $1.7 million in 2001 was primarily due to lower average cash balances due to the cash dividend of $17.4 million in February 2002 and lower interest rates during the period.

The Company’s effective tax benefit was 10% for 2003 as compared to an effective tax rate of 1% in 2001. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate in 2003 and 2001 primarily due to the utilization of prior year tax losses carried forward.

March 31, 2003 Quarter Compared to March 31, 2002 Quarter—Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (“Q4 2003”) decreased 74% to $0.3 million, compared to net sales of $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 (“2002”). This decrease in net sales was mainly attributable the company selling its operating business to Opti Technologies in September 2002, therefore the Company had no product sales during Q4 2003 as compared to $1.0 million in net product sales in 2002, offset in part, by $0.3 million in royalty revenue received from Opti Technologies.

Gross margin for Q4 2003 increased to 100% as compared to approximately 46% in 2002. This increase in gross margin is attributable to all of the revenue received in Q4 2003 arising from license revenue which has no associated cost of goods sold as compared to product sales in 2002.

The Company had no R&D expenses for Q4 2003 and 2002. This was due to the Companies decision to terminate all future product development in July of 2001.

SG&A expenses in Q4 2003 were $385,000 as compared to $689,000 for 2002. This represented an approximately 44% decrease in SG&A expenses year over year. This decrease was primarily related to reduced headcount expenses and lower costs relating to reduced net sales.

Net interest and other income for Q4 2003 was $38,000 as compared to $85,000 in 2002. Interest and other income consists principally of interest income and has primarily decreased due to lower average cash balances resulting from a cash dividend of $17.4 million in February 2002 and lower interest rates during the period.

The Company’s had no effective tax rate for Q4 2003 and 2002.

2001 Compared to 2000—Net sales for 2001 decreased 67% to $7.6 million, compared to net sales of $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 (“2000”). This decrease in net sales was mainly attributable to a one-time fully paid license in the amount of $13.3 million that the Company received during 2000. Net product sales decreased 23% to $7.6 million as compared to net product sales of $9.9 million in 2000. This decrease in net product sales for 2001, was attributable to a decline in embedded core logic sales, offset in part, by an increase in USB controller sales.

Gross margin for 2001 decreased to approximately 53% as compared to approximately 72% in 2000. This decrease in gross margin is attributable to the license revenue of $13.3 million in 2000, which had no associated cost of goods sold. Gross margin as a percent of net product sales in 2001 was approximately 53% as compared to 35% in 2000. This increase in gross margin as a percentage of net product sales during 2001, was attributable to the Company selling previously written down product during the year and lower costs of manufacturing that the Company was able to secure during 2001.

R&D expenses for 2001 decreased approximately 9% to $509,000, compared to $559,000 in 2000. This decrease in R&D expenses in 2001 was related to the Companies decision to terminate all future product development in July of 2001.

SG&A expenses in 2001 were $4.3 million as compared to $7.0 million for 2000. This represented an approximately 39% decrease in SG&A expenses year over year. This decrease was primarily related to the reduction in costs and expenses in defending and settling the Crystal litigation of approximately $2.4 million, as well as decreased costs related to reduced headcount expenses and lower costs relating to reduced net sales.

Net interest and other income for 2001 was $1.7 million as compared to $2.1 million in 2000. Interest and other income consists principally of interest income and has primarily decreased to lower average interest rates in 2001 as compared to 2000, offset in part, by $0.2 million the Company received by selling its bankruptcy claim against TriTech Microelectronics of Singapore.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 1% for 2001 and 2% for 2000. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate in 2001 and 2000 primarily due to the utilization of prior year tax losses carried forward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources—The Company has financed its operations through cash generated from operations and an initial public offering of equity in 1993. In fiscal 2003, the Company provided cash from operations of approximately $0.7 million primarily due to a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.0 million, inventory of $0.3 million and net income of $1.8 million, offset in part by the non cash gain of $1.5 million on the distribution of the shares of Tripath Technology, Inc., by a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.4 million and accrued employee compensation of $0.3 million. In the Transition Period 2002, the Company provided cash from operations of approximately $0.3 million primarily due to a reduction in accounts receivable of $0.9 million, offset in part, by an increase of prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.3 million and increase of inventory of $0.1 million and a net loss of $0.1 million.

The Company’s investing activities provided no cash in 2003 and provided approximately $8.9 million during 2002. The cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to the maturity of $8.9 million in short term investments.

In 2003, the Company had no financing activities and used approximately $17.5 million in 2002. The cash used in financing activities during 2002 related to the cash dividend that the Company paid in February 2002 of $1.50 per share.

In May 2003, the Company distributed a dividend of 0.1666 shares of Tripath stock on each of the Company’s Common Stock. The total value of the dividend was approximately $2.2 million.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $15.0 million and working capital of approximately $15.1 million. The Company believes that the existing sources of liquidity will satisfy the Company’s projected working capital and other cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

OPTi Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OPTi Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 2003, the three month period ended March 31, 2002, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of OPTi Inc. and subsidiaries, at March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2003, the three month period ended March 31, 2002, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basis financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company OPTi Inc., a California corporation, is engaged in licensing it’s intellectual property for use principally by personal computer manufacturers and semiconductor device manufacturers.

Change in Year-End The Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31, to March 31, effective with the year beginning April 1, 2002. A three-month transition period from January 1, 2002 through March 31, 2002 (the “Transition Period”) precedes the start of the 2003 fiscal year. “2001” and “2000” refer to the years ended December 31, the Transition Period refers to the three months ended March 31, 2002 and “2003” refers to the twelve months ended March 31, 2003.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Taxes on Earnings Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be recognized.

Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to five years.

Revenue Recognition The Company recognized product sales upon transfer of title, which typically is upon shipment and provides an allowance for the estimated return of product. Revenue from royalty arrangements is recognized when earned and when collectibility is probable.

Stock Based Compensation In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123). The Company has elected to continue to account for employee stock options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and has adopted the “disclosure only” alternative described in FAS 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) had the Company elected to account for options under FAS 123.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information follows (in thousands except for earnings per share information):

	2003		2002			2001			2000
Net income (loss) as reported	$	1,792	$	(129	)	$	878		$	11,044
less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense under fair value based methods for all awards, net of related tax effects		—		—			(120	)		(223	)

Pro forma net income (loss)	$	1,792	$	(129	)	$	758		$	10,821

Pro forma basic net income (loss) per share	$	0.15	$	(0.01	)	$	0.07		$	0.93

Pro forma diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.15	$	(0.01	)	$	0.07		$	0.93

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net earnings as well as other comprehensive income. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded net of tax.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after March 31, 2003. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. We have adopted the disclosure requirements for our financial statements included in this Form 10-K. We are currently evaluating the effects of FIN 45, however we do not expect that the adoption of FIN 45 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions for this Form 10-K. It will continue to account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” using the “intrinsic value” method. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 148 is not anticipated to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2—Liquidation of the Company

On September 7, 2001, the Board of directors approved a plan to liquidate and dissolve the Company.

On January 3, 2002, the Company announced the postponement of its voluntary liquidation and dissolution. The Company’s Board determined that it would be prudent to postpone the liquidation plan to allow the Company more time to evaluate its intellectual property position, including the means by which it would pursue claims for the potential infringement of certain ot it patents. The Board decision was not due to any change in the Company’s business prospects.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were prepared under generally accepted accounting principles for a going concern entity and do not reflect changes in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities which may be affected should the shareholders approve a plan of liquidation of the Company’s assets. Accounts that may require adjustments of recorded amounts relate primarily to other liabilities of the Company including additional costs for severance.

Note 3—Sale of the Operating Business

On September 30, 2002, the Company announced that it had sold its operating business to Opti Technologies, Inc., an unrelated third party. As part of the transaction Opti Technologies was to pay the

Stock Option Plans

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and income (loss) per share is required by SFAS 123 which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair value of the Company’s stock based awards to employees was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted-average assumptions:

	2003		2002		2001		2000
Expected Life	4.8 years		4.8 years		4.8 years		4.8 years
Expected volatility	0.53		1.55		0.58		0.88
Risk Free Interest Rate	2.90	%	3.90	%	4.50	%	6.28	%

The weighted average fair value of options granted under all employee stock option plans was $1.27, $2.74 and $2.86 for the years ending 2003, 2002, and 2000, respectively. No options were granted to employees during fiscal year 2001.

1993 Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 1993 Stock Option Plan (the “1993 Plan”), which was adopted in February 1993, provides for the granting of 8,066,478 incentive stock options to employees or for the granting of nonstatutory stock options to employees and consultants of the Company. The Board of Directors determines the term of each option, the option price and the condition under which the option becomes exercisable.

At March 31, 2003, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, expiring in the years 2008 through 2023. At March 31, 2003, the Company had tax credit carryovers of approximately $2.6 million and $3.2 million for federal and state purposes, expiring in the years 2006 through 2018. In addition, the Company had federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $27 million that will not expire.

The tax benefit associated with exercise of non-qualified stock options, disqualifying dispositions of stock options and shares acquired under the employee stock purchase plan created net operating losses of $1,798,000 in 1997. These benefits were fully reserved by a valuation allowance, and will be credited to paid in capital when realized.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased (decreased) $0.2 million, $(4.7) million, $9.0 million, and ($15.2) million during 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Note 11—Employee Benefit Plan

The Company currently matches fifty percent of employee contributions made to the savings plan. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the amount of the Company contribution to the 401K plan was approximately $11,000, $13,000 and $50,000, respectively. Administrative costs of the plan are immaterial.

Note 12—Contingencies

The Company from time to time has been notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, maskwork rights, or copyrights owned by third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in litigation regarding the alleged infringements by the Company of third party intellectual property rights. However, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
