TERAYON COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Organization
Description of Business
Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. (Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
California on January 20, 1993. In June 1998, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware.
The Company develops, markets and sells digital video equipment to network operators and
content aggregators who offer video services.
In 2004, the Company refocused to make digital video the core of its business. As part of this
strategic refocus, the Company elected to continue selling its home access solutions (HAS) product,
including cable modems, embedded multimedia terminal adapters (eMTA) and home networking devices,
but ceased future investment in its cable modem termination systems (CMTS) product line. In January
2006, the Company announced it was discontinuing its HAS product line.
On April 21, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement)
with Motorola, Inc., (Motorola), and Motorola GTG Subsidiary VI Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Motorola (Merger Sub), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the
Company (Merger), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Motorola.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of the
Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time (other than shares held by the Company, Motorola or Merger Sub, which will be
canceled without payment of any consideration) will be converted into the right to receive $1.80 in
cash, without interest.
The Merger has been approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The Merger is subject to
the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the
Company, the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other closing conditions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006 have been included.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results
for the entire fiscal year or future periods. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as amended (2006 Form
10-K), as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission). The
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 is derived from audited
consolidated financial statements at that date.
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
6
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are based on historical
experience, input from sources outside of the Company, and other relevant facts and circumstances.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas that are particularly significant include
the valuation of its accounts receivable and inventory, warranty obligations, accrued vendor
cancellation charges, the assessment of recoverability and the measurement of impairment of fixed
assets, and the recognition of restructuring liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
inventory, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. The Company does not have any derivative
financial instruments. The Company believes the reported carrying amounts of its financial
instruments approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition (SAB 101),
as amended by SAB 104, for all products and services, the Company recognizes revenue when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services were rendered, the
fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final
acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is not
recognized until all acceptance criteria have been met. Contracts and customer purchase orders are
used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when product is delivered to a
common carrier. Certain products are delivered on a free-on-board (FOB) destination basis and the
Company does not recognize revenue associated with these transactions until the delivery has
occurred to the customers premises. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable
based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject
to adjustment. The Company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the
customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customers payment history.
In establishing its revenue recognition policies for its products, the Company assesses
software development efforts, marketing and the nature of post contract support (PCS). Based on its
assessment, the Company determined that the software in the HAS and CMTS products is incidental and
therefore, the Company recognizes revenue on HAS and CMTS products under SAB 101, as specifically
amended by SAB 104. Additionally, based on its assessment of the digital video solutions (DVS)
products, the Company determined that software was more than incidental, and therefore, the Company
recognizes revenue on the DVS products under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2) and SOP 81-1,
Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1).
The Company determined that the software in the DVS products is more than incidental because
the DVS platforms contained multiple embedded software applications, the software is actively
marketed and the Company has a practice of providing upgrades and enhancements for the software to
its existing users periodically. While the software is not sold on a stand-alone basis with the
ability to operate on a third party hardware platform, the software is marketed and sold separately
in the form of software license keys to activate embedded software applications. Additionally, as
part of the Companys customer support contracts, the Company routinely provides its customers with
unspecified software upgrades and enhancements.
When a sale involves multiple elements, such as sales of products that include services, the
entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its fair value and
recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each element are met. Fair value for each element
is established based on the sales price charged when the same element is sold separately. In order
to recognize revenue from individual elements within a multiple element arrangement under SOP 97-2,
the Company must establish vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for each
element.
Prior to 2006, for the DVS product, the Company determined that it did not establish VSOE of
fair value for the undelivered element of PCS, which required the Company to amortize the sale
price of both the hardware element and PCS element ratably over the period of the customer support
contract. The Company amortized the cost of goods sold for the DVS product ratably over the period
of the customer support contract. Revenue and the related cost of goods sold for DVS products that
contain multiple element arrangements in each quarter of 2004 and 2005 were deferred and recognized
ratably over the contract service period.
7
Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, the Company determined that it established VSOE of
fair value of the PCS element for DVS
product sales as a result of maintaining consistent pricing practices for PCS, including
consistent pricing of renewal rates for PCS. For DVS products sold beginning in 2006 that contain a
multiple element arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue and the cost of goods sold for
shipments when all criteria of SAB 104 and SOP 97-2 have been met and recognizes revenue related to
PCS element ratably over the period of the support contract.
The Company sells its products directly to broadband service providers, and to a lesser
extent, resellers. Revenue arrangements with resellers are recognized when product meets all
criteria of SAB 104 and SOP 97-2.
Deferred Revenue, Deferred Cost of Goods Sold
Deferred revenue and deferred cost of goods sold are a result of the Company recognizing
revenues on the DVS product under SOP 97-2. Under SOP 97-2, the Company must establish VSOE of fair
value for each element of a multiple element arrangement. Until the first quarter of 2006, the
Company did not establish VSOE of fair value for PCS when PCS was sold as part of a multiple
element arrangement. As such, for DVS products sold with PCS, revenue and the cost of goods sold
related to the delivered element, the hardware component, were deferred and recognized ratably over
the period of the PCS.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
123(R) which is a revision of SFAS 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to
employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the
Companys previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), for periods beginning January 1, 2006. In March 2005, the
Commission issued SAB No. 107, Share-based Payment (SAB 107), relating to SFAS 123(R). SAB 107
provides guidance on the initial implementation of SFAS 123(R). In particular, the statement
includes guidance related to share-based payment awards with non-employees, valuation methods and
selecting underlying assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term. It also gives
guidance on the classification of compensation expense associated with share-based payment awards
and accounting for the income tax effects of share-based payment awards upon the adoption of SFAS
123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS 123(R), the compensation cost
recognized by the Company beginning in 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all equity incentive
awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and (b) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards
granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company uses the straight-line attribution
method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award. Upon
exercise, cancellation, or expiration of stock options, deferred tax assets for options with
multiple vesting dates are eliminated for each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if
each vesting period was a separate award.
Options currently granted by the Company generally expire six years from the grant date and
vest over a three year period. Options granted prior to the second quarter of 2005 generally expire
ten years from the grant date and vest over a four to five year period. The Company may use other
types of equity incentives, such as restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The Companys
equity incentive awards also allow for performance-based vesting.
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards (FAS 123(R)-3). The Company has elected to adopt the alternative
transition method provided in FAS 123(R)-3 for calculating the tax effects of stock-based
compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods
to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC Pool) related to
the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the
APIC Pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based
compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Share-based compensation recognized in 2006 and 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS
123(R) as well as share-based compensation calculated for pro forma disclosures according to the
original provisions of SFAS 123 for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) use the
Black-Scholes valuation methodologies for estimating fair value of options granted under the
Companys equity incentive plans and rights to acquire stock granted under the Companys stock
participation plan.

Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company evaluates its trade receivables based upon a combination of factors generally
requiring no collateral. The Company assesses collectibility based on a number of factors,
including history, the number of days an amount is past due (based on invoice due date), changes in
credit ratings of customers, current events and circumstances regarding the business of its
clients customers and other factors that it believes are relevant. Credit losses have
historically been within managements expectations. When the Company becomes aware of a customers
inability to pay, such as in the case of bankruptcy or a decline in the customers operating
results or financial position, it records an allowance to reduce the related receivable to an
amount it reasonably believes is collectible. The Company maintains an allowance for potentially
uncollectible accounts receivable based on an estimate of collectibility. If circumstances related
to a specific customer change, its estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further
altered. In addition, the Company made other adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts to
offset the accounts receivable and related reserve related to customers who were granted extended
payment terms, experiencing financial difficulties or where collectibility was not reasonably
assured.

Purchase Obligation
The Company has purchase obligations to certain of its suppliers that support the Companys
ability to manufacture its products. The obligations consist of purchase orders placed with vendors
for goods and services and require the Company to purchase minimum quantities of the suppliers
products at a specified price. As of March 31, 2007, $6.7 million of purchase obligations were
outstanding which become payable at various times throughout the remainder of 2007.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments (SFAS 155) which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). Specifically, SFAS 155 amends SFAS
133 to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded
derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided the whole instrument is accounted for
on a fair value basis. Additionally, SFAS 155 amends SFAS 140 to allow a qualifying special purpose
entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than
another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or
issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006,
with early application allowed. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact
on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
(SFAS 156), to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities. SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140. Additionally, SFAS 156 applies to all separately recognized
servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys fiscal year
that begins after September 15, 2006, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS
156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial
position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FASB
109). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing
in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including
a decision on whether or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance
with FASB 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax
positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-
not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be
recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 is
reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
The
Company adopted FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48,
the Company reduced its deferred tax assets
reported as of December 31, 2006 by $13.9 million. The reduction was fully offset by a valuation
allowance and therefore, did not have an impact to the Companys
financial statements. In addition, the Company did
not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax
positions nor did the Company have any
unrecognized tax benefits and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings on the balance sheet.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, in the state of California,
in various other states in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has
an office or physical location.
The Company has elected to record interest and penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 in
the financial statements as a component of income tax expense. Any subsequent change in
classification of interest and penalties will be treated as a change in accounting principle
subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but
rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements.
SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is
permitted, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim
periods, for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, but does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year
uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both an income statement
(rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results
in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is
material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial are now considered
material based on either approach, no restatement is required as long as management properly
applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. If prior
years are not restated, the cumulative effect adjustment is recorded in opening retained earnings
as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on
or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companys
financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Liabilities (SFAS 159), which includes an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS 159 provides companies with an irrevocable
option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value
reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, but does not expect adoption to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Contingencies
Litigation
Beginning in April 2000, several plaintiffs filed class action lawsuits in federal court
against the Company and specific officers and directors of the Company. Later that year, the cases
were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
(Court) as In re Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation. The Court then
appointed lead plaintiffs who filed an amended complaint. In 2001, the Court granted in part and
denied in part defendants motion to dismiss, and plaintiffs filed a new complaint. In 2002, the
Court denied defendants motion to dismiss that complaint, which, like the earlier complaints,
alleged that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and
misleading statements and failing to disclose material information regarding the Companys
technology. On February 24, 2003, the Court certified a plaintiff class consisting of those who
purchased or otherwise acquired the Companys securities between November 15, 1999 and April 11,
2000. On September 8, 2003, the Court heard defendants motion to disqualify two of the lead
plaintiffs and to modify the definition of the plaintiff class. On September 10, 2003, the Court
issued an order vacating the hearing date for the parties summary judgment motions, and, on
September 22, 2003, the Court issued another order staying all discovery until further notice and
vacating the trial date, which had been scheduled for November 4, 2003. On February 23, 2004, the
Court issued an order disqualifying two of the lead plaintiffs and ordered discovery, which was
conducted. In February 2006, the Company mediated the case with plaintiffs counsel. As part of the
mediation, the Company reached a settlement of $15.0 million. After this mediation, the Companys
insurance carriers agreed to tender their remaining limits of coverage, and the Company contributed
approximately $2.2 million to the settlement. On March 17, 2006, the Company, along with
plaintiffs counsel, submitted the settlement to the Court and the shareholder class for approval.
As a result, the Company accrued $2.2 million to litigation settlement expense in the fourth
quarter of 2005. The Court held a hearing to review the settlement of the shareholder litigation on
September 25, 2006. To date, the Court has not approved the settlement.
On October 16, 2000, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and the individual defendants
(Zaki Rakib, Selim Rakib and Raymond Fritz) in the Superior Court of California, San Luis Obispo
County. This lawsuit was titled Bertram v. Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. The factual
allegations in the Bertram complaint were similar to those in the federal class action, but the
Bertram complaint sought remedies under state law. Defendants removed the Bertram case to the
United States District Court for the Central District of California, which dismissed the complaint.
Plaintiffs appealed this order, and their appeal was heard on April 16, 2004. On June 9, 2004, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the order dismissing the Bertram
case.
On June 23, 2006, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California by I.B.L. Investments Ltd.
purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Companys common stock between October 28,
2004 and March 1, 2006. Zaki Rakib, Jerry D. Chase, Mark Richman and Edward Lopez are named as
individual defendants. The lawsuit focuses on the Companys March 1, 2006 announcement of the
restatement of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the four quarters
of 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005. On November 8, 2006, Adrian G. Mongeli was appointed
lead plaintiff in the case, replacing I.B.L. Investments Ltd. On January 8, 2007, Mongeli filed an
amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Companys common stock
between June 28, 2001 and March 1, 2006. The amended complaint adds Ray Fritz, Carol Lustenader,
Matthew Miller, Shlomo Rakib, Doug Sabella, Christopher Schaepe, Mark Slaven, Lewis Solomon, Howard
W. Speaks, Arthur T. Taylor and David Woodrow as individual defendants, and also names Ernst &
Young as a defendant. The amended complaint incorporates the prior allegations and includes new
allegations relating to the restatement of the Companys consolidated historical financial
statements as reported in the Companys Form 10-K filed on December 29, 2006. The plaintiffs are
seeking damages, interest, costs and any other relief deemed proper by the court. An unfavorable
ruling in this legal matter could materially and adversely impact the Companys results of
operations. On March 9, 2007, Terayon and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint. On March 23, 2007, Ernst & Young filed a
motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Both motions are scheduled to be heard on July 24, 2007.
11
On April 22, 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of
Santa Clara against Adam S. Tom (Tom) and Edward A. Krause (Krause) and a company founded by Tom
and Krause, RGB Networks, Inc. (RGB). The Company sued Tom and Krause for breach of contract and
RGB for intentional interference with contractual relations based on breaches of the Noncompetition
Agreements entered into between the Company and Tom and Krause, respectively. On May 24, 2006, RGB,
Tom and Krause filed a Notice of Motion and Motion For Leave To File a Cross-Complaint, in which
the defendants stated that they intended to file counter-claims against the Company for
misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, tortious interference with contractual
relations and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. On July 6, 2006, the court
granted the defendants motion, and on July 20, defendants filed a cross-complaint for
misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, tortious interference with contractual
relations and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. On August 21, 2006, the
Company filed a demurrer to certain of those claims. The court granted the Companys demurrer as to
RGBs request for declaratory judgment. On November 9, 2006, the Company filed the Companys answer
to RGBs complaint. On March 26, 2007, the Company entered into a stipulation for settlement with
RGB amicably resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. On April 10, 2007 the
Company entered into a formal settlement agreement. The Company
recorded the settlement as of March 31, 2007 and the settlement
amount is included in other income and expense.
On September 13, 2005, a case was filed by Hybrid Patents, Inc. (Hybrid) against Charter
Communications, Inc. (Charter) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas for patent infringement related to Charters use of equipment (cable modems, cable modem
termination systems (CMTS) and embedded multimedia terminal adapters (eMTAs)) meeting the Data Over
Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) standards and certain video equipment. Hybrid has
alleged that the use of such products violates its patent rights. Charter has requested that the
Company and others supplying it with equipment indemnify Charter for these claims. The Company and
others have agreed to contribute to the payment of the legal costs and expenses related to this
case and the Company has entered into a joint defense agreement with all named defendants in the
suit. On May 4, 2006, Charter filed a cross-complaint asserting its indemnity rights against the
Company and a number of companies that supplied Charter with cable modems. To date, this
cross-complaint has not been dismissed. Trial is scheduled on
Hybrids claims for July 3, 2007. At
this point, the outcome is uncertain and the Company cannot assess damages. However, the case may
be expensive to defend and there may be
substantial monetary exposure if Hybrid is successful in its claim against Charter and then
elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On July 14, 2006, a case was filed by Hybrid against Time Warner Cable (TWC), Cox
Communications Inc. (Cox), Comcast Corporation (Comcast), and Comcast of Dallas, LP (together, the
MSOs) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for patent infringement
related to the MSOs use of data transmission systems and certain video equipment. Hybrid has
alleged that the use of such products violate its patent rights. To date, the Company has not been
named as a party to the action. The MSOs have requested that the Company and others supplying them
with cable modems and equipment indemnify the MSOs for these claims. The Company and others have
agreed to contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses related to this case and the
Company has entered into a joint defense and cost sharing agreement with all named defendants in
the suit. Trial is scheduled on Hybrids claims for July 3, 2007. At this point, the outcome is
uncertain and the Company cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and
there may be substantial monetary exposure if Hybrid is successful in its claim against the MSOs
and then elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On September 16, 2005, a case was filed by Rembrandt Technologies, LP (Rembrandt) against
Comcast in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent
infringement. In this matter, Rembrandt alleged that products and services sold by Comcast infringe
certain patents related to cable modem, voice-over internet, and video technology applications. To
date, the Company has not been named as a party in the action, but the Company has received a
subpoena for documents and a deposition related to the products the Company sold to Comcast. The
Company continues to comply with this subpoena. Comcast has made a request for indemnity related to
the products that the Company and others sold to them. The Company and others have agreed to
contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses related to this case and the Company has
entered into a joint defense and cost sharing agreement with all named defendants in the suit. On
February 1, 2007, the Court entered an order disqualifying Rembrandts counsel and vacated all
scheduled dates pending Rembrandt obtaining new counsel. At this point, the outcome is uncertain
and the Company cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and there may
be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in its claim against Comcast and then
elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On June 1, 2006, a case was filed by Rembrandt against Charter, Cox, CSC Holdings, Inc. (CSC)
and Cablevisions Systems Corp. (Cablevision) in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas alleging patent infringement. In this matter, Rembrandt alleged that products and
services sold by Charter infringe certain patents related to cable modem, voice-over internet, and
video technology applications. To date, the Company has not been named as a party in the action,
but Charter has made a request for
12
indemnity related to the products that the Company and others
have sold to them. The Company has not received an indemnity request from Cox, CSC, and Cablevision
but the Company expects that such request will be forthcoming shortly. To date, the Company and
others have not agreed to contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses related to this
case. A trial date is not set at this time. At this point, the outcome is uncertain
and the Company cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and there may
be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in its claim against Charter and then
elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On June 1, 2006, a case was filed by Rembrandt against TWC in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent infringement. In this matter, Rembrandt alleged
that products and services sold by TWC infringe certain patents related to cable modem, voice-over
internet, and video technology applications. To date, the Company has not been named as a party in
the action, but TWC has made a request for indemnity related to the products that the Company and
others have sold to them. The Company and others have agreed to contribute to the payment of legal
costs and expenses related to this case. A trial date is not set at this time. At
this point, the outcome is uncertain and the Company cannot assess damages. However, the case may
be expensive to defend and there may be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in
its claim against TWC and then elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly
infringing products.
On September 13, 2006, a second case was filed by Rembrandt against TWC in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent infringement. In this matter,
Rembrandt alleged that products and services sold by TWC infringe certain patents related to the
DOCSIS standard. To date, the Company has not been named as a party in the action, but TWC has made
a request for indemnity related to the products that the Company and others have sold to them. The
Company and others have agreed to contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses related to
this case. A trial date is not set at this time. At this point, the outcome is
uncertain and the Company cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and
there may be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in its claim against TWC and
then elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On January 31, 2007, a case was filed by GPNE Corp. (GPNE) against Time Warner Inc. (TWI),
Comcast and Charter in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging
patent infringement. In this matter, GPNE alleged that products and services sold by TWI, Comcast
and Charter infringe certain patents related to the DOCSIS standard (data transmission). To date,
the Company has not been named as a party in the action, but TWC has made a request for indemnity
related to the products that the Company and others have sold to them. The Company believes that
Comcast and Charter will also make indemnity requests. The Company and others have agreed to
contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses related to this case. Trial date of this
matter is not known at this time. On February 2, 2007, TWC filed a lawsuit against GPNE in the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware requesting a declaratory judgment of
non-infringement. At this point, the outcome is uncertain and the Company cannot assess damages.
However, the case may be expensive to defend and there may be substantial monetary exposure if GPNE
is successful in its claim against TWI, Comcast and Charter and then elects to pursue other cable
operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On May 9, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation (Dolby) for $0.3 million to settle the Companys past infringement of certain
Dolby patents and copyrighted works. Additionally, the Company and
Dolby are entering into a license
agreement to license such patents and copyrighted works beginning
January 1, 2007. The Company recorded the settlement as of March 31,
2007 and the settlement is included in general and administrative expenses.
The Company has received letters and other communications claiming that its technology
infringes the intellectual property rights of others. The Company has consulted with its patent
counsel and reviewed the allegations made by such third parties. If these allegations were
submitted to a court, the court could find that the Companys products infringe third party
intellectual property rights. If the Company is found to have infringed third party rights, the
Company could be subject to substantial damages and/or an injunction preventing the Company from
conducting its business. In addition, other third parties may assert infringement claims against
the Company in the future. A claim of infringement, whether meritorious or not, could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert the Companys managements resources, cause
product shipment delays or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements.
These royalty or licensing arrangements may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all.
Furthermore, the Company has in the past agreed to, and may from time to time in the future
agree to, indemnify a customer of its technology or products for claims against the customer by a
third party based on claims that its technology or products infringe intellectual property rights
of that third party. These types of claims, meritorious or not, can result in costly and
time-consuming litigation, divert managements attention and other resources, require the Company
to enter into royalty arrangements, subject the Company to damages or injunctions restricting the
sale of its products, require the Company to indemnify its customers for the use of the allegedly
infringing products, require the Company to refund payment of allegedly infringing products to its
customers or to forgo
13
future payments, require the Company to redesign certain of its products, or
damage its reputation, any one of which could materially and adversely affect its business, results
of operations and financial condition.
The Company has also provided an indemnity to ATI where the Companys liability is set at
$14.0 million for breaches of representations and warranties made by the Company and assumed by the
Company. This indemnity is provided for a period of three years for non-tax issues and six years
for tax issues.
The Company may, in the future, take legal action to enforce its patents and other
intellectual property rights, to protect its trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of
the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect
the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition
In December 2005, the Commission issued a formal order of investigation in connection with the
Companys accounting review of a series of contractual agreements with Thomson Broadcast. These
matters were previously the subject of an informal Commission inquiry. The Company cooperated
fully with the Commission in order to bring the investigation to a conclusion as promptly as
possible. On April 2, 2007, the Company received written notification from the staff of the
Commission that the Commissions investigation has been terminated and no enforcement action has
been recommended at this time. The decision of the Commission to terminate the investigation is not
a finding or judgment regarding the matters investigated, and should not be construed that the
Company has been exonerated or that no action may ultimately result from the Commissions
investigation of the matter.
The Company is currently a party to various other legal proceedings, in addition to those
noted above, and may become involved from time to time in other legal proceedings in the future.
While the Company currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually
and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or overall
results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling
to occur in any of the Companys legal proceedings, there exists the possibility of a material
adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations
for the period in which the ruling occurs. The estimate of the potential impact on the
Companys financial position and overall results of operations for any of the above legal
proceedings could change in the future.
4. Employee Equity Incentive Plans
Stock Option Program Description
The Companys 1995 Stock Option Plan (1995 Plan) and 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (1997 Plan)
provide for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be issued to employees,
directors and consultants of the Company. Exercise prices of incentive stock options may not be
less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Exercise prices of
nonqualified stock options may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at

years from the date of grant. Any unvested stock issued is subject to repurchase by the Company at
the original issuance price upon termination of the option holders employment. Unexercised options
expire six to ten years after the date of grant. The 1997 Plan also provides for the sale of
restricted shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants, and the Company has
provided such awards in prior years. The 1995 Plan expired in 2005 and only stock options that were
granted under the 1995 Plan prior to its expiration remain outstanding. The 1997 Plan expired on
March 25, 2007 and only stock options that were granted under the 1997 Plan prior to its expiration
remain outstanding.
The Companys 1998 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan) provides for
non-discretionary nonqualified stock options to be issued to the Companys non-employee directors
automatically as of the effective date of their election to the Board of Directors and annually
following each annual stockholder meeting. Exercise prices of nonqualified options may not be less
than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Options generally vest
and become exercisable over a period not to exceed three years from the date of grant. Unexercised
options expire ten years after the date of grant.
The Companys 1999 Non-Officer Equity Incentive Plan (1999 Plan) provides for nonqualified
stock options to be issued to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company. Prices for
nonqualified stock options may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at
the date of the grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable over a period not to exceed
five years from the date of grant. Unexercised options expire ten years after date of grant. The
1999 Plan also provides for the sale of restricted shares of common stock to employees, directors
and consultants and the Company has provided such awards in prior years and may provide such awards
in the future.

Valuation and Expense Information under SFAS 123(R)
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to the Companys
employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to
the stock option plans based on estimated fair values. The Company elected to adopt SFAS 123(R)
using the modified prospective recognition method, which requires the Company to recognize
compensation cost for new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and
employee stock purchase plan shares. The following table
summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee
stock purchases under SFAS 123(R) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 which is allocated as
follows (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited):

At March 31, 2007, unamortized compensation expense related to outstanding unvested stock
options that are expected to vest was approximately $2.5 million. This unamortized compensation
expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.
Share-based compensation recognized in 2006 and 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS
123(R) uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating fair value of options granted
under the Companys equity incentive plans and rights to acquire stock granted under the Companys
stock purchase plan. The weighted average estimated values of employee stock option grants and
right granted under the stock purchase plan, as well as the weighted average assumptions that were
used in calculating such values during 2007 and 2006, were based on the estimates at the date of
grant as follows (unaudited):

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007. If the Company
had granted options during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, these variables would have been
used to calculate the fair value of the options. |
The Company used its historical stock price volatility as the expected volatility assumption.
The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted average period the stock
options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term is based on the observed and expected
time to post-vesting exercise of options by employees. The risk-free interest rate assumption is
based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the Companys employee stock
options.
Options outstanding that have vested and are expected to vest as of March 31, 2007 are as

5. Operating Segment Information
In late 2000, the worldwide telecom and satellite industries experienced severe downturns that
resulted in significantly reduced purchases of equipment. Because of that decrease in demand, the
Company refocused its efforts on sales of its data products to the cable industry and its digital
video products to the cable and satellite industry, and significantly reduced and then ultimately
eliminated its telecom and satellite businesses. Consequently, beginning in 2003, the Companys
previously reported telecom segment no longer meets the quantitative threshold for disclosure and
the Company now operates as one business segment.
15
Since 2004, the Company increased its focus on the development, marketing and sale of its
digital video products versus its data products, which consisted of the CMTS, modem and eMTA
products, and ultimately, refocused the Company as a digital video company. The decreased focus on
the data products was due to the pressures of competing in a standards based marketplace versus a
proprietary based marketplace. In 2001 and 2002, the Company switched from selling proprietary data
products based on its Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (S-CDMA) technology to Data Over
Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) compliant products. Additionally, in 2001, the
Company licensed its S-CDMA technology to Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs) on a
non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free basis for inclusion in the DOCSIS 2.0 standard
(and later standards) and therefore, any competitive edge previously provided by the proprietary
technology was eliminated. In 2004, the Company ceased investment in its CMTS product line due to
these competitive pressures, declining sales and costs associated with research and development
efforts to develop the next generation of CMTS products. In January 2006, the Company discontinued
its line of modems and eMTAs for the same reasons.
The Company operates solely in one business segment, the development and marketing of digital
video products and related services. However, the Company will continue to sell through the
existing inventory of its modem and eMTA products. The Companys foreign operations consist of
sales, marketing and support activities through its foreign subsidiaries. The Companys Chief
Executive Officer has responsibility as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) as defined by
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The CODM
reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated
information about revenues and certain direct expenses by geographic region for purposes of making
operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Companys assets are primarily located
in its corporate office in the United States and are not allocated to any specific region,
therefore the Company does not produce reports for, or measure the performance of, its geographic
regions based on any asset-based metrics.
6. Restructuring Charges and Asset Write-offs
Restructuring
The Company accrues for termination costs in accordance with paragraph 3 of SFAS No. 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, and SFAS No. 112, Employers
Accounting for Post Employment Benefits. Liabilities are initially measured at their fair value on
the date in which they are incurred based on plans approved by the Companys Board of Directors.
Accrued employee termination costs principally consist of three components: (i) a lump-sum
severance payment based upon the years of service (e.g., two weeks per year of service); (ii) COBRA
insurance based on years of service and rounded up to the month; and (iii) an estimate of costs for
outplacement services immediately provided to the affected employees.
Substantially all employees were terminated on the date of notification, so there was no additional service
period required to be included in the determination of accrued termination costs. Where such
services were required for a period over 60 days, the Company amortized termination costs ratably
over the required service period.
2004 Restructurings
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to bring
operating expenses in line with revenue levels and incurred restructuring plan charges related to
employee termination costs, termination costs for an aircraft lease, and costs for excess leased
facilities. In the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to further conform the Companys expenses to
its revenue and to cease investment in the CMTS product line, the Companys Board of Directors
approved a restructuring plan related to employee terminations. Additionally, in 2004, the Company
re-evaluated and adjusted restructuring charges incurred in the first and second quarters of 2004
related to employee severance, excess facilities and the aircraft lease termination.
The Company anticipates the remaining restructuring accrual
related to excess leased facilities to be utilized for servicing
operating lease payments through October 2009.
The amount of net charges accrued under the 2004 restructuring plans assumes that the Company
will successfully sublease excess leased facilities. The reserve for the excess leased facilities
includes the estimated income derived from subleasing, which is based on information from the
Companys real estate brokers, who estimated it based on assumptions relevant to the real estate
market conditions as of the date of the Companys implementation of the restructuring plan and the
time it would likely take to sublease the excess leased facility. The Company sub-subleased its
former principal executive offices in August 2006.

7. Product Warranty
The Company provides a standard warranty for most of its products, ranging from one to five
years from the date of purchase. The Company estimates product warranty expenses at the time
revenue is recognized. The Companys warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates,
material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. The estimate of
costs to service its warranty obligations is based on historical experience and the Companys
expectation of future conditions. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service
delivery costs differ from the Companys estimates, revision to the warranty liability would be
required.
8. Corporate Aircraft
In 2002, the Company entered into an operating lease arrangement to lease a corporate
aircraft (Aircraft Lease). This lease arrangement was secured by a $9.0 million letter of credit at
December 31, 2002. The letter of credit was reduced to $7.5 million in February 2003. The $7.5
million letter of credit was converted to a cash deposit in 2004. In August 2004, the Company
entered into a 28-month aircraft sublease terminating on December 31, 2006, which was amended in
December 2006 to terminate on January 14, 2007. On January 14, 2007, the last day of the operating
lease, the Company returned the corporate aircraft to the lessor of the aircraft, General Electric
Capital Corporation (GECC), and no additional rental payments were due to the lessor after October
2006.
On March 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement with GECC, terminating the
Aircraft Lease. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, On March 28, 2007, GECC returned to the
Company $6.8 million of the $7.5 million cash deposit held by GECC as collateral for the aircraft
lease. GECC will retain $0.7 million in collateral (Repair Collateral) subject to GECCs completion
of repairs, tests, inspections, and corrections to the aircraft, which GECC has estimated will cost
$0.6 million. The remaining amount of the Repair Collateral, if any, will be returned to the
Company.
9. RGB Litigation Settlement
On March 26, 2007, the Company entered into a stipulation for settlement with RGB
Networks, Inc. amicably resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. On April 10,
2007 the Company entered into a formal settlement agreement.
10. Director Compensation
In January 2007, the Board of Directors approved cash payments to the Companys outside
directors in lieu of stock options that had been historically granted to the outside directors
pursuant to the Companys automatic, non-discretionary option grant policy applicable to outside
directors for service on the Board of Directors and as the chairman or member of one or more
committees of the Board of Directors for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007. Options were not granted
in 2005 or 2006, and the Company does not anticipate granting options in 2007 by the date of the
annual stockholder meeting to its outside directors due to the Companys inability to grant stock
options during the restatement of the Companys financial statements for certain prior periods and
the related unavailability of the Companys registration statements. The Board of Directors also
approved effective as of January 27, 2007 a quarterly advance cash retainer policy applicable to
outside directors that will replace the Companys cash compensation policy in effect in 2006.
Please see Director Compensation in Part III, Item 11 in Amendment No. 1 to the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
11. Subsequent Events
Merger Agreement with Motorola
On April 21, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement)
with Motorola, Inc., (Motorola), and Motorola GTG Subsidiary VI Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Motorola (Merger Sub), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the
Company (Merger), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Motorola.
17
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of the
Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time (other than shares held by the Company, Motorola or Merger Sub, which will be
canceled without payment of any consideration) will be converted into the right to receive $1.80 in
cash, without interest.
The Merger has been approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The Merger is subject to
the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the
Company, the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other customary closing conditions.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger
Agreement, the Company may be required to pay Motorola a termination fee of $5.25 million.
As a result of entering
into the Merger Agreement, the Company accrued $1.6 million of expense related to certain contractual commitments it had
in place which are contingent on the completion of the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Motorola has agreed to assume certain bonus programs
the Company had in place at the time the agreement was signed. If the
Merger does not close by
December 30, 2007, the Company would be required to pay a maximum of $0.9 million related to these
bonus programs which is not currently accrued for on the Companys books.
Dolby Settlement and License
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included an expense
of $0.3 million for the settlement on May 9, 2007 of patent infringement and copyrighted works
claims that the Company had received from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation (Dolby) in
January 2007. The claims related to the Companys non-payment of license fees to Dolby for
software functionality embedded in certain of the Companys DVS products. Additionally, the
parties are entering into a license agreement to license such patents and copyrighted works
beginning January 1, 2007.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. This discussion and analysis may contain
predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed under Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006, as amended (2006 Form 10-K). The words believe, expect, anticipate, intend,
estimate, plan and other expressions, that are predictions or indicate future events, identify
forward-looking statements, which are based on the current expectations, estimates, forecasts and
projections of future Company or industry performance based on managements judgment, beliefs,
current trends and market conditions. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual outcomes and results to differ
materially from what is expressed, expected, anticipated, or implied in any forward-looking
statement. These statements include those related to our products, product sales, expenses, our
revenue recognition policies, material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting, and the proposed acquisition of us by Motorola, Inc. (Motorola). For example,
there can be no assurance that our product sales efforts or recognized revenues or expenses will
meet any expectations or follow any trend(s), that our internal controls over financial reporting
will be effective or produce reliable financial information on a timely basis, that our ability to
compete effectively and maximize stockholder value will be successful or yield preferred results,
or that the proposed acquisition of us by Motorola will be completed. Our ongoing or future
litigation may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial results. In
addition, our financial results, liquidity and stock price may suffer as a result of our announced
proposed acquisition by Motorola, the restatements, the cost of completing the restatements and the
audit and review of our financial statements, our ability to control operating expenses and
maintain adequate cash balances for operating the business going forward, any adverse response of
our vendors, customers, stockholders, media and others relating to the announcement of the proposed
acquisition by Motorola and the delay or restatements of our financial statements, the review and
application of our accounting processes, policies and procedures, and additional uncertainties
related to accounting. We undertake no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of
these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).
Executive Overview
We currently develop, market and sell digital video equipment to network operators and content
aggregators who offer video services. Our primary products include the Network CherryPicker® line
of digital video processing systems and the CP 7600 line of digital-to-analog decoders. Our
products are used for multiple digital video applications, including the rate shaping of video
content to maximize the bandwidth for standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD)
programming, grooming customized channel line-ups, carrying local ads for local and national
advertisers, and branding by inserting corporate logos into programming. Our products are sold
primarily to cable operators, telecom carriers and satellite providers in the United States, Europe
(including the Middle East) and Asia.
In 2004, we refocused the Company to make digital video products and applications the core of
our business. In particular, we began expanding our focus beyond cable operators to more
aggressively pursue opportunities for our digital video products with television broadcasters,
telecom carriers and satellite television providers. As part of this strategic refocus, we elected
to continue selling our home access solutions (HAS) product, including cable modems, embedded
multimedia terminal adapters (eMTA) and home networking devices, but ceased future investment in
our CMTS product line. This decision was based on weak sales of the CMTS products and the
anticipated extensive research and development investment required to support the product line in
the future. As part of our decision to cease investment in the CMTS product line, we incurred
severance, restructuring and asset impairment charges. In March 2005, we sold certain modem
semiconductor assets to ATI Technologies, Inc. and terminated our internal semiconductor group.
In January 2006, we announced that the Company would focus solely on digital video product
lines, and as a result, we discontinued our HAS product line. We determined that there were no
short- or long-term synergies between our HAS product line and digital video product lines which
made the HAS products increasingly irrelevant given our core business of digital video. Though we
continued to sell our remaining inventory of HAS products and CMTS products in 2006, the profit
margins for our cable modems and eMTAs have continued to decrease due to competitive pricing
pressures and the ongoing commoditization of the products.
We have not been profitable since our inception. At March 31, 2007, our accumulated deficit
was $1.1 billion. We had a net loss of $7.0 million or $0.09 per share for the quarter ended March
31, 2007 and a net loss of $3.9 million or $0.05 per share for the quarter
19
ended March 31, 2006. Our ability to grow our business and attain profitability is dependent
on our ability to effectively compete in the marketplace with our current products and services,
develop and introduce new products and services, contain operating expenses and improve our gross
margins, as well as continued investment in equipment by network operators and content aggregators.
Finally, we expect to benefit from a lower expense base resulting in part from the series of cost
reduction initiatives that occurred in 2005 and 2006, along with continued focus on cost
containment. However, despite these efforts, we may not succeed in attaining profitability in the
near future, or at all.
At March 31, 2007, we had $20.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
as compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2006. The $0.2 million increase from December 31, 2006
to March 31, 2007 was driven by the release of $6.8 million
of a deposit that was included in current
assets which related to a previously leased jet aircraft. Although we believe that our current cash
balances will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months, we
may need to raise additional funds in order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or
enhanced services, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or
technologies or respond to unanticipated requirements. There can be no assurance that additional
financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available or
are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue operations, develop products,
take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated
requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
operating results and liquidity.
Merger Agreement with Motorola
On April 21, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with
Motorola, and Motorola GTG Subsidiary VI Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola (Merger
Sub), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (Merger), with the
Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of our
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective
time (other than shares held by us, Motorola or Merger Sub, which will be canceled without payment
of any consideration) will be converted into the right to receive $1.80 in cash, without interest.
The Merger has been approved by our Board of Directors. The Merger is subject to the adoption
of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger by our stockholders, the termination or
expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended, and other closing conditions.
A more detailed description of the risks to our business can be found in the sections
captioned Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2006 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make
judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and
accompanying notes. Our management believes that we consistently apply these judgments and
estimates and the financial statements and accompanying notes fairly represent all periods
presented. However, any differences between these judgments and estimates and actual results could
have a material impact on our statement of income and financial condition. Critical accounting
estimates, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission), are those that are
most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require
our managements most difficult and subjective judgments and estimates of matters that are
inherently uncertain.
We describe our critical accounting policies regarding revenue recognition, deferred revenue
and deferred cost of goods sold, critical accounting estimates regarding stock-based compensation
and accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts below. For a discussion of our
remaining critical accounting policies, see Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies in our 2006 Form
10-K.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition (SAB 101),
as amended by SAB 104, for all products and services, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services are
20
rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In
instances where final acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer,
revenue is not recognized until all acceptance criteria have been met. Contracts and customer
purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when product
is delivered to a common carrier. Certain products are delivered on a free-on-board (FOB)
destination basis and the Company does not recognize revenue associated with these transactions
until the delivery has occurred to the customers premises. We assess whether the fee is fixed or
determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price
is subject to adjustment. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the
customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customers payment history.
In establishing its revenue recognition policies for our products, we assess software
development efforts, marketing and the nature of post contract support (PCS). Based on its
assessment, we determined that the software in the HAS and CMTS products is incidental and
therefore, we recognize revenue on HAS and CMTS products under SAB 101, as specifically amended by
SAB 104. Additionally, based on our assessment of the DVS products, we determined that software was
more than incidental, and therefore, we recognize revenue on the DVS products under American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition (SOP 97-2) and SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain
Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1).
We determined that the software in the DVS products is more than incidental because the DVS
platforms contained multiple embedded software applications, the software is actively marketed and
we have a practice of providing upgrades and enhancements for the software to its existing users
periodically. While the software is not sold on a stand-alone basis with the ability to operate on
a third party hardware platform, the software is marketed and sold separately in the form of
software license keys to activate embedded software applications. Additionally, as part of our
customer support contracts, we routinely provide our customers with unspecified software upgrades
and enhancements.
When a sale involves multiple elements, such as sales of products that include services, the
entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its fair value and
recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each element are met. Fair value for each element
is established based on the sales price charged when the same element is sold separately. In order
to recognize revenue from individual elements within a multiple element arrangement under SOP 97-2,
we must establish vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for each element.
Prior to 2006, for DVS products, we determined that we did not establish VSOE of fair value
for the undelivered element of PCS, which required us to recognize revenue and the cost of goods
sold of both the hardware element and PCS element ratably over the period of the customer support
contract. We amortized the cost of goods sold for DVS products ratably over the period of the
customer support contract. Revenue and the related cost of goods sold for DVS products that contain
multiple element arrangements in each quarter of 2003, 2004 and 2005 were restated to reflect this
accounting policy.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, we determined that we established VSOE of fair value
of the PCS element for DVS product sales as a result of maintaining consistent pricing practices
for PCS, including consistent pricing of renewal rates for PCS. For DVS products sold beginning in
2006 that contain a multiple element arrangement, we recognize revenue from the hardware component
when all criteria of SAB 104 and SOP 97-2 have been met and revenue related to PCS element ratably
over the period of the PCS.
We sell our products directly to broadband service providers, and to a lesser extent,
resellers. Revenue arrangements with resellers are recognized when product meets all criteria of
SAB 104 and SOP 97-2.
Deferred Revenue, Deferred Cost of Goods Sold
Deferred revenue and deferred cost of goods sold are a result of our recognizing revenues on
the DVS under SOP 97-2. Under SOP 97-2, we must establish VSOE of fair value for each element of a
multiple element arrangement. Until the first quarter of 2006, we did not establish VSOE of fair
value for PCS when PCS was sold as part of a multiple element arrangement. As such, for DVS
products sold with PCS, revenue and the cost of goods sold related to the delivered element, the
hardware component, were deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the PCS.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R)
which is a revision of SFAS 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-
21
based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and
employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on estimated fair
values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), for periods beginning January 1,
2006. In March 2005, the Commission issued SAB No. 107, Share-based Payment (SAB 107), relating
to SFAS 123(R). SAB 107 provides guidance on the initial implementation of SFAS 123(R). In
particular, the statement includes guidance related to share-based payment awards with
non-employees, valuation methods and selecting underlying assumptions such as expected volatility
and expected term. It also gives guidance on the classification of compensation expense associated
with share-based payment awards and accounting for the income tax effects of share-based payment
awards upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption
of SFAS 123(R).
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS 123(R), the compensation cost
recognized by us beginning in 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards
granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123), and (b) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted on or
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). We use the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based
compensation costs over the service period of the award. Upon exercise, cancellation, or expiration
of stock options, deferred tax assets for options with multiple vesting dates are eliminated for
each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if each vesting period was a separate award.
Options currently granted by us generally expire six years from the grant date and vest over a
three year period. Options granted prior to the second quarter of 2005 generally expire ten years
from the grant date and vest over a four to five year period. We may use other types of equity
incentives, such as restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Our equity incentive awards
also allow for performance-based vesting.
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards (FAS 123(R)-3). We have elected to adopt the alternative transition
method provided in FAS 123(R)-3 for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation
pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish
the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC Pool) related to the tax effects
of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC Pool and
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation
awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Share-based compensation recognized in 2006 and 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS
123(R) as well as share-based compensation calculated for pro forma disclosures according to the
original provisions of SFAS 123 for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) use the
Black-Scholes valuation methodologies for estimating fair value of options granted under our equity
incentive plans and rights to acquire stock granted under our stock participation plan.
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We evaluate our trade receivables based upon a combination of factors generally requiring no
collateral. We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including history, the number of
days an amount is past due (based on invoice due date), changes in credit ratings of customers,
current events and circumstances regarding the business of our clients customers and other factors
that it believes are relevant. Credit losses have historically been within managements
expectations. When we become aware of a customers inability to pay, such as in the case of
bankruptcy or a decline in the customers operating results or financial position, we record an
allowance to reduce the related receivable to an amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We
maintain an allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable based on an estimate of
collectibility. If circumstances related to a specific customer change, our estimates of the
recoverability of receivables could be further altered. In addition, we made other adjustments to
the allowance for doubtful accounts to offset the accounts receivable and related reserve related
to customers who were granted extended payment terms, experiencing financial difficulties or where
collectibility was not reasonably assured. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the allowance for
potentially uncollectible accounts was $0.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006
Revenues
Our revenues decreased to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to
$21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Revenue decreased across all products
with the largest decrease in legacy products, as revenue from the sale of HAS and CMTS products
declined $4.9 and $1.4 million, respectively, while revenue from DVS products decreased $2.4
million. We expect overall revenues to decrease in 2007 compared to 2006 due to decreased sales of
our HAS and CMTS products following our discontinuation of both
product lines. We expect revenues
from the sale of our DVS products to increase in 2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to the
introduction of new software applications, sales to an expanded customer base which includes
telecommunication and broadcast satellite companies, increased international opportunities and
additional sales to MSOs as they continue to build out their digital networks.

Revenues from the sale of HAS products were negligible in the three months ended March 31,
2007, compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. In January 2006, we
announced that we were discontinuing our HAS product line to focus solely on digital video. As a
result, we continue to sell our remaining HAS inventory and collect the remaining receivables with
respect to our HAS products, and we expect revenue from the sale of our HAS products to continue to
decline in 2007. We anticipate that all remaining HAS inventories will be sold during 2007. CMTS
revenues also declined significantly to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007
compared to $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006. CMTS product revenue consists
primarily of sales of support services, and we do not believe that sales of CMTS products will be
material in 2007.
Revenues from the sale of DVS products decreased to $12.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007, compared to $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Although total revenue recognized from the sale of DVS products decreased in the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, the amount of DVS product revenue
invoiced in the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased compared to the same period in 2006.
The decline in reported revenue is the result of a reduction in DVS product invoiced in prior
fiscal years and recognized in the current period.
The amount of DVS product revenue invoiced in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
was $10.6 million and $9.5 million, respectively, representing an increase of 12%. Of the DVS
product revenue invoiced during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, $9.4 million and
$8.4 million, respectively, was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006, while the remaining amounts of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, will be
recognized as revenue in future periods. Additionally, $3.0 million and $6.4 million of DVS
product revenue invoiced in prior fiscal years was recognized during the three months ended March
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As a result of establishing VSOE in the first quarter of 2006,
the balance of revenue invoiced in prior periods and recognized in the current period will decline
in 2007.

Revenues in the United States decreased to $11.2 million, or 88% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $14.4 million, or 67% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in revenues in the United States was primarily attributable to
the overall reduction in revenues from the sale of our DVS products, which are sold primarily in
the United States. We expect that sales to MSOs in the United States will continue to be the main
source of our overall revenues in 2007 due to the expected build-out of ADS networks by second- and
third-tier MSOs and the increasing importance of ad insertion
23
within the United States market. The increase in revenues in the United States as a percentage
of total revenue is attributable to a decline from the sale of our CMTS and HAS product revenues
which were sold primarily outside the United States. We anticipate that total international
revenues will continue to decrease in 2007 based on the continued decline in sales of our CMTS and
HAS products as we exhaust the remaining inventory of these products. DVS product revenues outside
the United States have been nominal, and we expect such revenues to continue to be nominal in the
foreseeable future, in part because ad insertion is less popular and often not feasible outside the
United States.
Significant Customers
Three customers, Comcast Corporation (Comcast), Ascent Media Corporation (Ascent) and
Harmonic, Inc. (Harmonic), each accounted for 10% or more of total revenues (39%, 11% and 10%,
respectively) for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Three customers, Harmonic, Comcast and
CSC Holdings, Inc. (CSC), each accounted for 10% or more of total revenues (18%, 16% and 13%,
respectively) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. No other customer accounted for more than
10% of revenues during these periods.
Two customers, Comcast and Ascent, each accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable
(40% and 17%, respectively) as of March 31, 2007. Three customers, CSC, HOT Telecom and Comcast,
each accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable (20%, 15% and 10%, respectively) as of
March 31, 2006. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of March
31, 2007 and 2006.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Total cost of goods sold consists of direct product costs as well as the cost of our
manufacturing operations. The cost of manufacturing includes contract manufacturing, test and
quality assurance for products, warranty costs and associated costs of personnel and equipment.
Total
cost of goods sold decreased to $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007
from $10.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Direct cost of goods sold for our HAS products was negligible for three months ended March 31,
2007, compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The direct cost of goods
sold for our HAS products decreased due to declining sales of HAS products following our decision
to discontinue the product line in January 2006. The direct cost of goods sold for our CMTS
products were nominal for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $1.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2006.
Direct cost of goods sold related to our DVS products decreased to $2.9 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

In the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the cost of goods sold related to DVS
products invoiced during the period remained flat at $2.2 million. Cost of goods sold related to
revenue invoiced and recognized on DVS products during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006 was also flat at $2.2 million. The $0.7 million decrease in cost of goods sold for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 was due to a reduction in DVS product cost of goods sold invoiced in
prior fiscal years and recognized in the current period of $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, gross profit was $8.2 million, or 64% of revenues.
This represented a decrease of $2.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, in
which gross profit was $10.8 million, or 50% of revenues. The increase in our gross profit as a
percentage of revenues was attributable to a higher percentage of
revenues resulting from sales of our higher
margin DVS products, and decreased revenues from our lower margin HAS and CMTS products.
During 2007, we will continue to focus on improving sales of our higher margin DVS products and
reducing product manufacturing costs. As we complete the transition to a digital video company, our
revenues will primarily consist of DVS products, and thus, we
24
expect our gross profit margin percentages to increase as a result of increased revenues from
higher margin DVS products as a percentage of our overall revenues.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel
costs, internally designed prototype material expenditures, expenditures for outside engineering
consultants, and testing equipment and supplies required to develop and enhance our products. For
the three months ended March 31, 2007, research and development expenses were $3.0 million, or 26%
of revenues, compared to $4.1 million, or 19% of revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2006. The decrease in research and development expenses was attributable to a $0.5 million decrease
in facilities expenses related to the move of our corporate headquarters to a less expensive
building, as well as a decrease of $0.7 million in compensation expenses, which primarily resulted
from the reduction of bonus accruals for missed engineering milestones and a decrease in CMTS
product research and development. We believe it is critical for us to continue to make significant
investments in research and development to create innovative technologies and products that meet
the current and future requirements of our customers. While we anticipate that our overall research
and development expenses will remain constant in 2007, we intend to increase our investment in
research and development as it relates to DVS product development in 2007 and in future periods.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions
for sales personnel, salaries for marketing and support personnel, costs related to marketing
communications, consulting and travel. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, sales and
marketing expenses were $3.3 million, or 26% of revenues, compared to $5.2 million, or 24% of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease in sales and marketing expenses
resulted from a $0.5 million decrease in facilities expenses related to the move of our corporate
headquarters to a less expensive building and a $1.2 million reduction in compensation expense
related to reductions in staffing, reduced bonus accrual and related stock based compensation
expense. We expect sales and marketing expenses to be lower in 2007 compared to 2006 as a result of
lower overall expenditures and headcount reductions.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary
and benefits for administrative officers and support personnel, travel expenses and legal,
accounting and consulting fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, general and
administrative expenses were $8.1 million, or 58% of revenues, compared to $5.2 million, or 24% of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in general and administrative
expense was generally attributable to an increase in investor relations charges of $0.2 million, and an
increase in outside service fees of $2.4 million, which consisted of an increase of $1.9 million
for contractors and an increase of $0.5 million for audit fees, partially offset by a decrease of
$0.1 million in outside legal fees. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 also included an
expense of $0.3 million for the settlement of patent infringement claims that we received from
Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation (Dolby) in
January 2007. The claims, which were settled on May 9, 2007, related to our
non-payment of license fees to Dolby for software functionality embedded in certain of our DVS
products.
Restructuring Charges, Executive Severance and Asset Write-offs.
There were no restructuring charges, executive severance and asset write-offs for the three
months ended March 31, 2007, and such amounts were nominal for the three months ended March 31,
2006.
For further detail, refer to Note 6, Restructuring Charges and Asset Write-offs, to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest income, net relates primarily to $0.2 million of income generated from investments in
high-quality fixed income securities. We expect our interest income, net to decrease in future
periods based upon reduced cash invested in such high-quality fixed income securities.
25
Other income, net is generally comprised of realized foreign currency gains and losses,
realized gains or losses on investments, and income attributable to non-operational gains and
losses. The increase in other expense, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the year
ended March 31, 2006 was largely attributable to transaction
expenses related to the proposed acquisition by
Motorola, partially offset by the gain from a litigation settlement.
Income Tax Expense
With the exception of the three months ended June 30, 2006, we have generated losses since our
inception. We have not recorded a tax provision based on net income for the year ended December 31,
2006, due to the large net operating loss carry forwards we have to offset any federal and state
tax liability. In each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded nominal
income tax expense related primarily to foreign taxes.
We
adopted SFAS Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, (FIN 48), on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we reduced our deferred tax assets
reported as of December 31, 2006 by $13.9 million. The reduction was fully offset by a valuation
allowance and therefore, did not have an impact to our financial statements. In addition, we did
not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax positions nor did we have any
unrecognized tax benefits and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings on the balance sheet.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, in the state of California,
in various other states in the United States and in various foreign
jurisdictions in which we have
an office or physical location.
We
have elected to record interest and penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 in
the financial statements as a component of income tax expense. Any subsequent change in
classification of interest and penalties will be treated as a change in accounting principle
subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of stock-based
compensation expense for share-based payment awards. We elected to adopt SFAS 123(R) using the
modified prospective recognition method. The modified prospective recognition method requires us to
recognize compensation cost for new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock
units and employee stock purchase plan shares. Under the modified prospective recognition method,
prior period financial statements are not restated.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Under APB 25, compensation cost
was measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of our stock at the date of grant
over the exercise price of the stock option granted. Under APB 25, compensation cost for stock
options, if any, was recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line single option
method.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded total stock-based compensation of
$0.4 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2006. At March 31, 2007, unamortized
compensation expense related to outstanding unvested stock options that are expected to vest was
approximately $2.5 million, compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2006. This unamortized
compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
2.2 years.
Litigation
See Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings.
Off-Balance Sheet Financings and Liabilities
Other than lease commitments and unconditional purchase obligations incurred in the normal
course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities,
guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets or any obligation
arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. All of our majority-owned
subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2007, we had $20.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
as compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2006. The $0.2 million increase from December 31, 2006
to March 31, 2007 was driven the release of $6.8 million
of a deposit that was included in current
assets and which related to a previously leased jet aircraft.
Cash provided in operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $0.6 million
compared to cash used in operating activities of $8.0 million in the same period in 2006. In the
first quarter of 2007, cash used in operating activities was affected
by a $7.0 million net loss, a
decrease in deferred revenues of $1.4 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.1 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.7
million and a decrease in other assets of $7.3 million. In the first quarter of 2006, cash used in
operating activities was affected by a $3.9 million net loss, a decrease in deferred revenues of
$4.7 million and a $2.3 million decrease in accrued other liabilities, and offset by $2.4 million
in non-cash inventory provisions included in net loss and a $7.5 million decrease in other assets.
26
In connection with our operating lease arrangement to lease a corporate aircraft, we deposited
and pledged an aggregate amount of $7.5 million in cash in 2004 with the aircraft lessor, General
Electric Capital Corporation (GECC), to secure our obligations under the lease. On March 28, 2007,
GECC returned to us $6.8 million of the $7.5 million cash deposit held by GECC as collateral for
the aircraft lease. GECC will retain $0.7 million in collateral (Repair Collateral) subject to
GECCs completion of repairs, tests, inspections, and corrections to the aircraft, which GECC has
estimated will cost $0.6 million. The remaining amount of the Repair Collateral, if any, will be
returned to us.
Investing activities consisted primarily of net purchases and sales of short-term investments
in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Cash provided by investing activities for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 was $3.7 million compared to cash provided by investing
activities of $53.9 million in the same period in 2006. The proceeds from the sale of short-term
investments in the first quarter of 2006 were required to repay all of our 5% convertible
subordinated notes (Notes) in the first quarter of 2006.
There was no cash financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cash used by
financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $65.1 million, due to the
repayment of $65.1 million of face value for the Notes in the
first quarter of 2006.
We currently believe that our current unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investment balances will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12
months. In order to achieve profitability in the future, we will need to increase revenues,
primarily through sales of more profitable products, and decrease costs and operating expenses.
These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results
may vary as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed under Risk Factors in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2006 Form 10-K. We may need to raise additional funds in
order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services, respond to competitive
pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or respond to unanticipated
requirements. We may seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities,
strategic relationships, bank debt, and financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. If
additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of
our current stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or such
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our
common stock. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if
at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be
unable to continue operations, develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or
respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have unconditional purchase obligations to certain of our suppliers that support our
ability to manufacture our products. The obligations require us to purchase minimum quantities of
the suppliers products at a specified price. As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $6.7
million of purchase obligations payable at various times throughout the remainder of 2007.
We entered into a lease agreement for $2.3 million to lease a facility of approximately 63,000
square feet for our main corporate headquarters from October 2006 through September 2009. We
entered into a sub-sublease for $6.7 million to sub-sublease a facility of approximately 141,000
square feet from October 2006 through October 2009.

In 2002, we entered into an operating lease arrangement to lease a corporate aircraft. This
lease arrangement was secured by a $9.0 million letter of credit. The letter of credit was reduced
to $7.5 million in February 2003. During 2004, the $7.5 million letter of credit was converted to a
cash deposit. In March 2004, in connection with our worldwide restructuring, we notified GECC of
our intentions to locate a purchaser for our remaining obligations under this lease. In August
2004, we entered into an agreement with a third party to sublease the corporate aircraft through
December 31, 2006, which sublease was subsequently extended through January 14, 2007. On
27
March 28, 2007, GECC returned to us $6.8 million of the $7.5 million cash
deposit held by GECC as collateral for the aircraft lease. GECC will retain $0.7 million in Repair
Collateral subject to GECCs completion of repairs, tests, inspections, and corrections to the
aircraft, which GECC has estimated will cost $0.6 million. The remaining amount of the Repair
Collateral, if any, will be returned to us. $0.7 million of Repair Collateral is included in the
table above. As a result of our real estate lease commitments, we have $0.4 million of letters of
credit outstanding.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments (SFAS 155) which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). Specifically, SFAS 155 amends SFAS
133 to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded
derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided the whole instrument is accounted for
on a fair value basis. Additionally, SFAS 155 amends SFAS 140 to allow a qualifying special purpose
entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than
another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or
issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006,
with early application allowed. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact
on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
(SFAS 156), to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities. SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140. Additionally, SFAS 156 applies to all separately recognized
servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys fiscal year
that begins after September 15, 2006, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS
156 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FASB
109). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and
disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return,
including decisions on whether or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with FASB 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied
to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to
be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48
are reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
We adopted FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we reduced our deferred tax assets
reported as of December 31, 2006 by $13.9 million. The reduction was fully offset by a valuation
allowance and therefore, did not have an impact to our financial statements. In addition, we did
not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax positions nor did we have any
unrecognized tax benefits and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings on the balance sheet.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, in the state of California,
in various other states in the United States and in various foreign
jurisdictions in which we have an office or physical location.
We
have elected to record interest and penalties recognized in accordance with FIN 48 in
the financial statements as a component of income tax expense. Any subsequent change in
classification of interest and penalties will be treated as a change in accounting principle
subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which
defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures
regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but
rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements.
SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is
permitted, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim
periods, for that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, but do not
expect adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year
uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both an income statement
(rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results
in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is
material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial are now considered
material based on either approach, no restatement is required as long as management properly
applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. If prior
years are not restated, the cumulative effect adjustment is recorded in opening retained earnings
as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on
or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Liabilities (SFAS 159), which includes an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS 159 provides companies with an irrevocable
option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value
reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We
are currently evaluating
28
the impact of SFAS 159, but do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to
preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is
accomplished by investing in widely diversified short-term investments, consisting primarily of
investment grade securities, substantially all of which mature within the next twenty-four months.
A hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on the
fair value of our available-for-sale securities.
Foreign Currency Risk. A substantial majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing
activity are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we do enter into transactions from Belgium,
United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Canada. If foreign currency rates were to fluctuate by 10% from the
rates at March 31, 2007, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows would not be
materially affected. However, we cannot guarantee that there will not be a material impact in the
future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company is required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007,
management, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Based
on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2007 because of the material
weaknesses in the Companys management report on internal controls over financial reporting
included in Item 9A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as
amended (2006 Form 10-K) and outlined below. As of March 31, 2007, none of the material weaknesses
identified in the 2006 Form 10-K have been fully remediated, and each remains ongoing as of the
filing date of this Form 10-Q. Because the material weaknesses described below have not been fully
remediated as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the CEO and CFO continue to conclude that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the filing date of this Form
10-Q.
As previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K), in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the first
three quarters of 2006, and its 2006 Form 10-K, the following material weaknesses remained ongoing
as of March 31, 2007 and as of the date of this filing:
Communication of Financial Information. The Company had insufficient controls related to
the identification, capture and timely communication of financially significant information between
certain parts of the organization and the accounting and finance department to enable these
departments to account for transactions in a complete and timely manner;
Lack of Technical Accounting Expertise and Qualified Accounting Personnel. The Company
did not have sufficient personnel with technical accounting expertise in the accounting and finance
department, adequate review and approval procedures, and sufficient analysis and documentation in
the analysis of GAAP to prepare external financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company
did not have adequate personnel in its accounting and finance department, and additionally lacked
sufficient qualified accounting and finance personnel to identify and resolve complex accounting
issues in accordance with GAAP.
The Use of Estimates. The Company lacked policies and procedures for determining
estimates and monitoring and adjusting balances related to certain accruals and provisions, and
also lacked support for its conclusions on those estimates. The Company did not have controls in
place to accurately estimate the accruals including the adequate review and approval of all
significant accruals by management personnel.
29
Inadequate Controls over Documentation and Record Keeping.
|
|
|
The Company did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure the proper
authorization and review of manual journal entries and the associated support
documentation. |
|
|
|
|
The Company did not have sufficient controls to address the amendment of sales orders
with its customers. Sales orders could be amended through the amendment of the sales
orders, purchase orders and agreements. When sales were amended through sales or
purchase orders, the person processing the amendments would exercise discretion in
inputting the revised terms and conditions and there was no consistent policy requiring
the accounting and finance department to approve such amendments or even informing the
accounting and finance department of such amendments. |
|
|
|
|
The Company did not keep adequate documentation related to the analysis and
reconciliation of certain general ledger accounts. |
|
|
|
|
The Company did not retain certain corporate records in connection with the sale of
certain subsidiaries to third parties. |
Because of these material weaknesses, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company did not
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007 or at the date of
this filing.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness
As disclosed in the Companys 2005 Form 10-K, and in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for each of the first three quarters of 2006, the Company reported a material weakness in internal
control over financial reporting related to revenue recognition. As described in the 2006 Form
10-K, based on the remediation steps detailed below and the subsequent testing of these remediation
steps, as of December 31, 2006 and the date of this filing, the Company remediated the previously
reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to revenue
recognition.
Revenue Recognition.
The Company previously did not properly recognize revenue on its video products in
accordance with GAAP, specifically SOP 97-2, SAB 104 and EITF 00-21, and previously did not
properly account for deferred revenue and related cost of goods sold. The Company previously
acquired its video products as part of acquisitions completed by the Company in 1999 and 2000, and
at that time determined that the products would be accounted for under SAB 101, as amended by SAB
104. The Company did not sufficiently evaluate its video products and continued to account for its
video products in accordance with SAB 104 when revenue on the video products should have been
accounted for in accordance with the software revenue recognition principles under SOP 97-2, SAB
104 and EITF 00-21. Additionally, the Company previously sold maintenance support contracts that
included software upgrades with its video products and did not establish vendor specific objective
evidence (VSOE) of fair value on the pricing of such maintenance contracts in accordance with SOP
97-2, SAB 104 and EITF 00-21. Because the Company continued to account for the video products and
maintenance sold with the video products under SAB 104, the Company did not take the steps
necessary to establish VSOE of fair value on the pricing of its maintenance products and revenue
was recognized during incorrect periods.
The Company previously incorrectly recorded deferred revenue and cost of goods sold on
the balance sheet for certain transactions. As a result of the Companys focus on revenue
recognition described above, the Company identified invoices for which deferred revenue for these
sales had been recognized but the criteria for revenue recognition had not been met. Accordingly,
the Company corrected these errors in deferred revenue, deferred cost of goods sold, inventory and
accounts receivable accounts and recognized revenue when title transferred or customer payments
were reasonably assured and all criteria for revenue recognition were met. The Company has
implemented the following remediation steps:
Remediation Steps:
|
|
|
The Company engaged the services of experienced accounting consultants to review
the Companys books and close procedures on a monthly basis to assist management in
ensuring that the Companys financial statements are being recorded in accordance with
GAAP. |
30
|
|
|
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company established a process where
all significant accruals must be reviewed and approved by the Corporate Controller. |
|
|
|
|
During the first three quarters of 2006, the Companys accounting and finance
department, with the assistance of outside consultants, implemented procedures to
recognize sales of its video products under the software accounting rules under SOP 97-2
in accordance with GAAP. |
|
|
|
|
In 2006, the Company established pricing guidelines and internal procedures to ensure
consistent pricing to allow for the establishment of VSOE of fair value for sales made
with multiple element arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
During the second and third quarters of 2005, the accounting and finance department
established procedures surrounding the month-end close process to ensure that the
information and estimates necessary for recognizing revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2
were available. |
|
|
|
|
The Company provided its accounting staff with training on revenue recognition,
including software accounting and project accounting, and GAAP, including attending
seminars and conferences. Additional training will be provided on a regular and periodic
basis and updated as considered necessary. |
|
|
|
|
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company hired an experienced revenue
accountant to review all revenue transactions and to ensure that revenues, cost of goods
sold, deferred revenue and deferred cost of goods sold are properly accounted for in
accordance with GAAP and the Companys policies. |
Remediation Steps to Address Continuing Material Weaknesses
As described in the 2006 Form 10-K, in an effort to remediate the Companys identified
continuing material weaknesses, management is in the process of implementing the following steps.
While these continuing material weaknesses did not result in adjustments to the Companys
consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, it is reasonably possible
that, if not remediated, these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of the
Companys financial statement accounts that might result in a material misstatement to a future
annual or interim period. Management does not anticipate that the continuing material weaknesses
will be remediated until the second half of the year ended December 31, 2007.
Communication of Financial Information.
|
|
|
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company established procedures to
document the review of press releases to account for transactions in a complete and
timely manner. |
|
|
|
|
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company also improved the internal
process of drafting and reviewing periodic reports by implementing additional management
and external legal counsel review prior to their submission to the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm. |
|
|
|
|
Continue to monitor the communication channels between the Companys senior
management and the Companys accounting and finance department and take prompt action,
as necessary, to further strengthen these communication channels; |
|
|
|
|
Implement training procedures for new employees and/or consultants in the accounting
and finance department on the Companys disclosure procedures and controls, the Company
and the Companys actions in previous reporting periods; and |
|
|
|
|
Take steps to ensure that the Company senior management has timely access to all
material financial and non-financial information concerning our business. |

and assess accruals for legal costs and expenses owed to third party vendors whereby the
Companys legal department obtains monthly estimates from the third party vendors and
reviews the amount reported by third party vendors for accuracy. |
Lack of Technical Accounting Expertise and Qualified Accounting Personnel.
|
|
|
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company engaged experienced accounting
consultants to act as the VP Finance, Corporate Controller and Revenue Recognition
Accountant. |
|
|
|
|
During the second, third and fourth quarters of 2006, the Company engaged expert
accounting consultants to assist the Companys accounting and finance department with
the management and implementation of controls surrounding revenue recognition, the
administration of existing controls and procedures, the preparation of the Companys
periodic reports and the documentation of complex accounting transactions. |
|
|
|
|
The Company is increasing staffing in the accounting and finance department, and
re-allocating duties to persons within the accounting and finance organization to
maximize their skills and experience. |
|
|
|
|
The Company continues to take steps to recruit additional qualified senior accounting
personnel, including certified public accountants personnel with recent public
accounting firm experience. The Company is looking to hire an accountant with SEC
reporting experience. |
Inadequate Controls over Documentation and Record Keeping.
|
|
|
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Companys employees involved in order
entry received training regarding the controls and procedures surrounding the amendment
of sales orders. Additional training will be provided on a regular and periodic basis
and updated as necessary to reflect any changes in the Companys or its customers
business practices or activities. |
|
|
|
|
The Company has established policies and procedures for the review and approvals of
all manual journal entries. |
|
|

completion and approval of reconciliations by the Corporate Controller. |
|
|
|
|
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company entered into agreements with
third parties that purchased assets from the Company in Israel. These agreements provide
the Company with access to the corporate records and require the third parties to retain
documents in accordance with Israeli law. |
32
Subsequent Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the changes in connection with the remediation efforts performed in regard to the
material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial
reporting.
33
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Beginning in April 2000, several plaintiffs filed class action lawsuits in federal court
against us and certain of our officers and directors. Later that year, the cases were consolidated
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (Court) as In re
Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation. The Court then appointed lead plaintiffs
who filed an amended complaint. In 2001, the Court granted in part and denied in part defendants
motion to dismiss, and plaintiffs filed a new complaint. In 2002, the Court denied defendants
motion to dismiss that complaint, which, like the earlier complaints, alleged that the defendants
violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements and
failing to disclose material information regarding our technology. On February 24, 2003, the Court
certified a plaintiff class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities
between November 15, 1999 and April 11, 2000. On September 8, 2003, the Court heard defendants
motion to disqualify two of the lead plaintiffs and to modify the definition of the plaintiff
class. On September 10, 2003, the Court issued an order vacating the hearing date for the parties
summary judgment motions, and, on September 22, 2003, the Court issued another order staying all
discovery until further notice and vacating the trial date, which had been scheduled for November
4, 2003. On February 23, 2004, the Court issued an order disqualifying two of the lead plaintiffs
and ordered discovery, which was conducted. In February 2006, we mediated the case with plaintiffs
counsel. As part of the mediation, we reached a settlement of $15.0 million. After this mediation,
our insurance carriers agreed to tender their remaining limits of coverage, and we contributed
approximately $2.2 million to the settlement. On March 17, 2006, we, along with plaintiffs
counsel, submitted the settlement to the Court and the shareholder class for approval. The Court
held a hearing to review the settlement of the shareholder litigation on September 25, 2006. To
date, the Court has not approved the settlement.
On October 16, 2000, a lawsuit was filed against us and the individual defendants (Zaki Rakib,
Selim Rakib and Raymond Fritz) in the Superior Court of California, San Luis Obispo County. This
lawsuit was titled Bertram v. Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. The factual allegations in the
Bertram complaint were similar to those in the federal class action, but the Bertram complaint
sought remedies under state law. Defendants removed the Bertram case to the United States District
Court, Central District of California, which dismissed the complaint. Plaintiffs appealed this
order, and their appeal was heard on April 16, 2004. On June 9, 2004, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the order dismissing the Bertram case.
On June 23, 2006, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California by I.B.L. Investments Ltd. purportedly on
behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between October 28, 2004 and March 1, 2006.
Zaki Rakib, Jerry D. Chase, Mark Richman and Edward Lopez are named as individual defendants. The
lawsuit focuses on our March 1, 2006 announcement of the restatement of financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the four quarters of 2004 and the first two quarters of
2005. On November 8, 2006, Adrian G. Mongeli was appointed lead plaintiff in the case, replacing
I.B.L. Investments Ltd. On January 8, 2007, Mongeli filed an amended complaint, purportedly on
behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between June 28, 2001 and March 1, 2006. The
amended complaint adds Ray Fritz, Carol Lustenader, Matthew Miller, Shlomo Rakib, Doug Sabella,
Christopher Schaepe, Mark Slaven, Lewis Solomon, Howard W. Speaks, Arthur T. Taylor and David
Woodrow as individual defendants, and also names Ernst & Young as a defendant. The amended
complaint incorporates the prior allegations and includes new allegations relating to the
restatement of our consolidated historical financial statements as reported in our Form 10-K filed
on December 29, 2006. The plaintiffs are seeking damages, interest, costs and any other relief
deemed proper by the court. An unfavorable ruling in this legal matter could materially and
adversely impact our results of operations. On March 9, 2007, Terayon and the individual defendants
filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 23,
2007, Ernst & Young filed a motion to dismiss the amended
complaint. Both motions are scheduled to be heard on July 24,
2007.
On April 22, 2005, we filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa
Clara against Adam S. Tom (Tom) and Edward A. Krause (Krause) and a company founded by Tom and
Krause, RGB Networks, Inc. (RGB). We sued Tom and Krause for breach of contract and RGB for
intentional interference with contractual relations based on breaches of the Noncompetition
Agreements entered into between us and Tom and Krause, respectively. On May 24, 2006, RGB, Tom, and
Krause filed a Notice of Motion and Motion For Leave To File a Cross-Complaint, in which the
defendants stated that they intended to file counter-claims against us for misappropriation of
trade secrets, unfair competition, tortious interference with contractual relations, and tortious
interference with prospective economic advantage. On July 6, 2006, the court granted the
defendants motion, and on July 20, defendants filed a cross-complaint for misappropriation of
trade secrets, unfair competition, tortious interference with contractual relations, and tortious
interference with prospective economic advantage. On August 21, 2006, we filed a demurrer to
certain of those claims. The court granted our demurrer as to RGBs request for declaratory
judgment. On November 9, 2006, we filed our answer to RGBs complaint. On March 26, 2007, we
entered into a stipulation for settlement with RGB amicably resolving all outstanding litigation
between the parties. On April 10, 2007 we entered into a formal settlement agreement with RGB,
Tom, and Krause. The Company
recorded the settlement as of March 31, 2007 and the settlement
amount is included in other income and expense.
34
On September 13, 2005, a case was filed by Hybrid Patents, Inc. (Hybrid) against Charter
Communications, Inc. (Charter) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas for patent infringement related to Charters use of equipment (cable modems, cable modem
termination systems (CMTS) and embedded multimedia terminal adapters (eMTAs)) meeting the Data Over
Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) standard and certain video equipment. Hybrid has
alleged that the use of such products violates its patent rights. Charter has requested that we and
others supplying it with equipment indemnify Charter for these claims. We and others have agreed to
contribute to the payment of the legal costs and expenses related to this case and we have entered
into a joint defense and cost sharing agreement with all named defendants in the suit. On May 4,
2006, Charter filed a cross-complaint asserting its indemnity rights against us and a number of
companies that supplied Charter with cable modems. To date, this cross-complaint has not been
dismissed. Trial is scheduled on Hybrids claims for July 3, 2007. At this point, the outcome is
uncertain and we cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and there may
be substantial monetary exposure if Hybrid is successful in its claim against Charter and then
elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On July 14, 2006, a case was filed by Hybrid against Time Warner Cable (TWC), Cox
Communications Inc. (Cox), Comcast Corporation (Comcast), and Comcast of Dallas, LP (together, the
MSOs) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for patent infringement
related to the MSOs use of data transmission systems and certain video equipment. Hybrid has
alleged that the use of such products violates its patent rights. To date, we have not been named
as a party to the action. The MSOs have requested that we and others supplying them with cable
modems and equipment indemnify the MSOs for these claims. We and others have agreed to contribute
to the payment of legal costs and expenses related to this case and we have entered into a joint
defense and cost sharing agreement with all named defendants in the suit. Trial is scheduled on
Hybrids claims for July 3, 2007. At this point, the outcome is uncertain and we cannot assess
damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and there may be substantial monetary
exposure if Hybrid is successful in its claim against the MSOs and then elects to pursue other
cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On September 16, 2005, a case was filed by Rembrandt Technologies, LP (Rembrandt) against
Comcast in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent
infringement. In this matter, Rembrandt alleged that products and services sold by Comcast infringe
certain patents related to cable modem, voice-over internet, and video technology and applications.
To date, we have not been named as a party in the action, but we have received a subpoena for
documents and a deposition related to the products we sold to Comcast. We continue to comply with
this subpoena. Comcast has made a request for indemnity related to the products that we and others
sold to them. We and others have agreed to contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses
related to this case and we have entered into a joint defense and cost sharing agreement with all
named defendants in the suit. On February 1, 2007, the Court entered an order disqualifying
Rembrandts counsel and vacated all scheduled dates pending Rembrandt obtaining new counsel. At
this point, the outcome is uncertain and we cannot assess damages. However, the case may be
expensive to defend and there may be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in
its claim against Comcast and then elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly
infringing products.
On June 1, 2006, a case was filed by Rembrandt against Charter, Cox, CSC Holdings, Inc. (CSC),
and Cablevision Systems Corp. (Cablevision) in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas alleging patent infringement. In this matter, Rembrandt alleged that products and
services sold by Charter infringe certain patents related to cable modem, voice-over internet, and
video technology applications. To date, we have not been named as a party in the action, but
Charter has made a request for indemnity related to the products that we and others have sold to
them. We have not received an indemnity request from Cox, CSC and Cablevision but we expect that
such request will be forthcoming shortly. To date, we and others have not agreed to contribute to
the payment of legal costs and expenses related to this case. A trial date is not
set at this time. At this point, the outcome is uncertain and we cannot assess damages. However,
the case may be expensive to defend and there may be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is
successful in its claim against Charter and then elects to pursue other cable operators that use
the allegedly infringing products.
On June 1, 2006, a case was filed by Rembrandt against TWC in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent infringement. In this matter, Rembrandt alleged
that products and services sold by TWC infringe certain patents related to cable modem, voice-over
internet, and video technology applications. To date, we have not been named as a party in the
action, but TWC has made a request for indemnity related to the products that we and others have
sold to them. We and others have agreed to contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses
related to this case. A trial date is not set at this time. At this point, the
outcome is uncertain and we cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and
there may be substantial monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in its claim against TWC and
then elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
35
On September 13, 2006, a second case was filed by Rembrandt against TWC in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent infringement. In this matter,
Rembrandt alleged that products and services sold by TWC infringe certain patents related to the
DOCSIS standard. To date, we have not been named as a party in the action, but TWC has made a
request for indemnity related to the products that we and others have sold to them. We and others
have agreed to contribute to the payment of legal costs and expenses
related to this case. A trial
date is not set at this time. At this point, the outcome is uncertain and we
cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and there may be substantial
monetary exposure if Rembrandt is successful in its claim against TWC and then elects to pursue
other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing products.
On January 31, 2007, a complaint was filed by GPNE Corp. (GPNE) against Time Warner Inc.
(TWI), Comcast and Charter in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas
alleging patent infringement. In this matter, GPNE alleged that products and services sold by TWI,
Comcast and Charter infringe certain patents related to the DOCSIS standard (data transmission). To
date, we have not been named as a party in the action, but TWC has made a request for indemnity
related to the products that we and others have sold to them. We believe that Comcast and Charter
will also make indemnity requests. We and others have agreed to contribute to the payment of legal
costs and expenses related to this case. Trial date of this matter is not known at this time. On
February 2, 2007, TWC filed a lawsuit against GPNE in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware requesting a declaratory judgment of non-infringement. At this point, the
outcome is uncertain and we cannot assess damages. However, the case may be expensive to defend and
there may be substantial monetary exposure if GPNE is successful in its claim against TWI, Comcast
and Charter and then elects to pursue other cable operators that use the allegedly infringing
products.
On
May 9, 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement with Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation (Dolby) for $0.3 million to settle our past infringement of certain
Dolby patents and copyrighted works. Additionally, Dolby and us are
entering into a license
agreement to license such patents and copyrighted works beginning January 1, 2007.
We
have received letters and other communications claiming that our technology infringes the
intellectual property rights of others. We have consulted with our patent counsel and reviewed the
allegations made by such third parties. If these allegations were submitted to a court, the court
could find that our products infringe third party intellectual property rights. If we are found to
have infringed third party rights, we could be subject to substantial damages and/or an injunction
preventing us from conducting our business. In addition, other third parties may assert
infringement claims against us in the future. A claim of infringement, whether meritorious or not,
could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert our managements resources, cause
product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. These
royalty or licensing arrangements may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Furthermore, we have in the past agreed to, and may from time to time in the future agree to,
indemnify a customer of our technology or products for claims against the customer by a third party
based on claims that its technology or products infringe intellectual property rights of that third
party. These types of claims, meritorious or not, can result in costly and time-consuming
litigation, divert managements attention and other resources, require us to enter into royalty
arrangements, subject us to damages or injunctions restricting the sale of our products, require us
to indemnify our customers for the use of the allegedly infringing products, require us to refund
payment of allegedly infringing products to its customers or to forgo future payments, require us
to redesign certain of our products, or damage our reputation, any one of which could materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may, in the future, take legal action to enforce our patents and other intellectual
property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2005, the Commission issued a formal order of investigation in connection with our
accounting review of a series of contractual arrangements with Thomson Broadcast. These matters
were previously the subject of an informal Commission inquiry. We cooperated fully with the
Commission in order to bring the investigation to a conclusion as promptly as possible. On April
2, 2007, we received written notification from the staff of the Commission that the Commissions
investigation has been terminated and no enforcement action has been recommended at this time. The
decision of the Commission to terminate the investigation is not a finding or judgment regarding
the matters investigated, and should not be construed that we have been exonerated or that no
action may ultimately result from the Commissions investigation of the matter.
36
We are currently a party to various other legal proceedings, in addition to those noted above,
and may become involved from time to time in other legal proceedings in the future. While we
currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall results of
operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur in
any of our legal proceedings, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our
financial condition and results of operations for the period in which the ruling occurs. The
estimate of the potential impact on our financial position and overall results of operations for
any of the above legal proceedings could change in the future.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The reader should carefully consider, in connection with the other information in this report,
the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors on pages 12 through 37 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as amended (2006 Form 10-K). These
factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward-looking
statements contained in this document and elsewhere. In addition to the factors included in the
2006 Form 10-K, the reader should also consider the following risk factors:
Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition by Motorola, Inc.
Our business and results of operations are likely to be affected by our announced acquisition
by Motorola, Inc. (Motorola).
On April 21, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with
Motorola, and Motorola GTG Subsidiary VI Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola (Merger
Sub), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company
continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola.
The uncertainty about the effect of the proposed acquisition may have an adverse effect on us.
These uncertainties may impair our ability to retain and motivate key personnel until the
acquisition is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with us to defer purchases
or other decisions concerning us, or to seek to change existing business relationships with us.
Although we are attempting to mitigate this risk through communications with our customers, current
and prospective customers could be reluctant to purchase our products or services due to
uncertainty about the direction of the combined companys product offerings and its support and
service of existing products. To the extent that our announcement of the acquisition creates
uncertainty among customers such that one or more customers delay purchase decisions pending
consummation of the planned acquisition, our results of operations could be negatively affected and
could fall below the expectations of market analysts, which could cause a decline in our stock
price. Finally, activities relating to the acquisition and related uncertainties could divert our
managements and our employees attention from our day-to-day business, cause disruptions among our
relationships with customers and business partners, and detract us from our ability to generate
revenue and control costs. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us from taking certain
specified actions without the consent of Motorola until the acquisition is completed. These
restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to
the completion of the acquisition.
Employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the
proposed acquisition, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their
future roles with Motorola. The departure of existing key employees or the failure of potential key
employees to accept employment with us, despite our retention and recruiting efforts, could have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.
If the conditions to the proposed acquisition by Motorola set forth in the Merger Agreement
are not met, the acquisition may not occur.
The obligation of Motorola and Merger Sub to consummate the merger is subject to a number of
conditions described in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, the receipt of antitrust
approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended. Approval of the
merger by holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required. The closing of the merger
is also subject to closing conditions. These conditions are set forth in detail in the Merger
Agreement, which we have previously filed with the Commission. We cannot assure you that each of
the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the proposed
merger will not occur or will be delayed, and the market price of our common stock could decline.
37
Failure to complete the proposed acquisition by Motorola would negatively affect our business,
financial condition, stock price and operating results.
If the merger is not completed, we could suffer a number of consequences that may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, stock price and operating results, including the
following:
|
|
|
Activities relating to the acquisition and related uncertainties may lead to a loss of
revenue and market position that we may not be able to regain if the acquisition does not
occur; |
|
|
|
|
The price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price
of the common stock reflects an assumption that the acquisition will be completed; |
|
|
|
|
We could be required to pay Motorola a termination fee of $5.25 million under the
circumstances described in the Merger Agreement; |
|
|
|
|
We would remain liable for our costs related to the acquisition, such as legal,
accounting, investment banking fees and related expenses in
connection with the merger; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to take advantage of alternative business opportunities or
effectively respond to competitive pressures; |
|
|
|
|
Our management and employees attention would have been diverted for which they will
have received little or no benefit; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to retain key employees; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting due to employee departures; and |
|
|
|
|
We would continue to be exposed to the general competitive pressures and risks
discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2006 Form 10-K, which pressures and risks may
be increased if the acquisition is not completed. |
Further, if the Merger Agreement is terminated and our Board of Directors determines to seek
another merger or business combination, it may not be able to find a partner willing to pay an
equivalent or more attractive price than that which would have been paid in the merger with
Motorola.
