PART I

Item 1.    BUSINESS

General

        NeoMagic Corporation (the "Company" or "NeoMagic") was incorporated as a California corporation in May 1993. The Company was subsequently reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in February 1997. The Company's initial public offering occurred in March 1997. The Company operates in one industry segment. NeoMagic designs, develops and markets high-performance semiconductor solutions for sale to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of Handheld Internet Appliances. Previously, the Company provided semiconductor solutions for the Notebook PC Multimedia Accelerator marketplace. In April, 2000 the Company announced its intention to exit this market and is now focused on the market for Handheld Internet Appliances. To date, the Company has no revenues from this new product effort. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in the development, production and commercialization of this new product direction.

        The Company believes that the dramatic growth of the Internet provides for significant market opportunities. It is NeoMagic's strategy to participate in multiple market opportunities driven by these trends towards multimedia, mobility, and the Internet. In February 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Associative Computers, Ltd., ("ACL") located in Raanana, Israel from Robomatix. The Company's plan includes leveraging its MagicWare embedded DRAM technology with the intellectual properties from this acquisition, other licensed technologies, and other developed technologies, to deliver innovative solutions for the capture, and playback of multimedia content for a rich internet experience on handheld platforms.

        NeoMagic has established strategic relationships with third-party manufacturing partners to produce semiconductor products for the Company. Pursuant to these strategic relationships, NeoMagic designs the overall product, including the logic and analog circuitry, and the manufacturing partners design the DRAM modules, manufacture the wafers, perform testing and package the products. NeoMagic is focused on leveraging its core competencies in integrating logic, analog and memory, along with graphics, video, 3D and other multimedia technologies, driver and BIOS software, and power management in its continued development of solutions that facilitate the mobilization of multimedia applications.

Products

        All of the Company's net sales to date have been from the sale of multimedia accelerators to notebook PC OEMs, or to third-party subsystem manufacturers who design and manufacture notebooks on behalf of the OEMs. The multimedia accelerator products for Notebook PCs were part of the MagicGraph128 and MagicMedia256 product lines, which integrated DRAM with analog circuitry on a single chip. In April 2000, the Company announced its intention to exit the multimedia accelerator notebook PC marketplace. It is the Company's expectation that all revenues related to their legacy products for the notebook PC market are exhausted and there will be no significant revenue related to these products in fiscal year 2002.

        The Company's new product direction continues to utilize the same embedded DRAM technology as used in the Company's legacy products. This new direction is to produce Integrated System-on-Chip semiconductor products for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace. In doing so, the Company expects to develop, produce and market products that have embedded DRAM, microprocessor, graphics, audio, and video capabilities. To fully mobilize multimedia, the Company believes Handheld Internet Appliances will require a new approach for developing semiconductor solutions that deliver higher performance while minimizing power consumption, system size, weight, complexity and cost. It is

1



expected that the Company will see limited revenues late in fiscal year 2002 and volume production in fiscal year 2003 from these products.

Research and Development

        The Company considers the timely development and introduction of new products to be essential to maintaining its competitive position and capitalizing on market opportunities. Research and development efforts are now primarily focused on developing Integrated System-on-Chip semiconductor products for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace. At January 31, 2001, the Company had approximately 94 employees engaged in research and development. Research and development expenses in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999 were $27.5 million, $38.0 million and $31.7 million, respectively. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, significant investments in research and development by developing new and enhanced products to serve its identified markets. Research and development expenses are expected to increase in fiscal 2002 due to development efforts on the Company's new product focus in the area of Handheld Internet Appliances. The development and successful introduction of new products presents a variety of risks, and there can be no assurance that these or other product development efforts will be completed at the time the Company expects, or that new products will be accepted in the marketplace.

Sales and Marketing

        NeoMagic's sales and marketing strategy is an integral part of the Company's effort to become the leading supplier of semiconductor solutions to the leading manufacturers of Handheld Internet Appliances. To meet customer requirements and achieve design wins, the Company's sales and marketing personnel work closely with its customers, business partners and key industry trend-setters to define product features, performance, price, and market timing of new products. The Company employs a sales and marketing organization with a high level of technical expertise and product and industry knowledge to support a lengthy and complex design win process. Additionally, the Company employs a highly trained team of application engineers to assist customers in designing, testing and qualifying system designs that incorporate NeoMagic products. The Company believes that the depth and quality of this design support is key to improving customers' time-to-market deliveries and maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction, which encourages customers to utilize subsequent generations of NeoMagic's products.

        In the United States, the Company sells its products to key customers primarily through a direct sales and marketing organization. The Company is, however, evaluating its U. S. sales channels. In Japan, DIA Semicon acts as the Company's sales representative. In Taiwan, Regulus acts as the Company's sales representative, and in Korea, Acetronics acts as the Company's sales representative. The Company's sales and marketing organization was restructured with the rest of the Company in April 2000. There remains a risk that as the new products are ready, we will be unable to attract adequate sales and marketing expertise in all necessary geographic locations necessary to sell our products.

        In many cases, Handheld Internet Appliances are designed and manufactured by third party system manufacturers on behalf of the final brand-name OEM. NeoMagic focuses on developing long-term customer relationships with both the system manufacturer and the brand-name OEM. The Company believes that this approach increases the likelihood for design wins, improves the overall quality of support, and enables the timely release of customer products to market.

Manufacturing

        The Company's products require semiconductor wafers manufactured with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and technology. The Company's products are designed to be manufactured in

2



accordance with the DRAM partners' design rules and manufacturing processes. Each DRAM partner has a design team dedicated to NeoMagic product development. The DRAM partners design the DRAM product modules and NeoMagic designs the overall product, including the analog and logic circuitry. The DRAM partners then aid the Company in design verification prior to production. The DRAM partners manufacture the wafers, perform memory testing and repair, and sell the Company finished wafers, with pricing determined on a contractual basis.

        NeoMagic has a strategic relationship with Infineon Technologies AG of Germany ("Infineon"), to produce its semiconductor wafers. The Company also has two other strategic relationships under evaluation. These relationships enable the Company to concentrate its resources on product design and development, where NeoMagic believes it has greater competitive advantages, and to eliminate the high cost of owning and operating a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility. The Company depends on these suppliers to allocate to the Company a portion of their manufacturing capacity sufficient to meet the Company's needs, to produce products of acceptable cost and quality and at acceptable manufacturing yields, and to deliver those products to the Company on a timely basis. A manufacturing disruption experienced by any of the Company's manufacturing partners would have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, in the event that the transition to the next generation of manufacturing technologies at one of the Company's suppliers is unsuccessful, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, there can be no assurances that any of the Company's manufacturing partners will continue to devote resources to the production of the Company's products or continue to advance the process design technologies on which the manufacturing of the Company's products are based.

        The Company uses other third-party subcontractors to perform assembly and testing of the Company's products. The Company develops its own software and hardware for product testing. The Company does not have long-term agreements with any of these subcontractors. As a result of this reliance on third-party subcontractors to assemble and test its products, the Company cannot directly control product delivery schedules, which could lead to product shortages or quality assurance problems that could increase the costs of manufacturing or assembly of the Company's products. Due to the amount of time normally required to qualify assembly and test subcontractors, shipments could be delayed significantly if the Company is required to find alternative subcontractors. Any problems associated with the delivery, quality or cost of the assembly and test of the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition

        In April 2000, the Company announced its intention to exit the Notebook PC Multimedia Accelerator marketplace and focus on the market for Handheld Internet Appliances. The Company has now exited the Notebook PC Multimedia market and expects to introduce products for the Handheld Internet Appliance market in FY 2002. The market for semiconductor solutions for Handheld Internet Appliances, in which the Company is now focused, is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and declining average selling prices. NeoMagic believes that the principal factors of competition in this market are performance, price, features, power consumption, size and software support. The ability of the Company to compete successfully in this new rapidly evolving Handheld Appliance market depends on a number of factors including, success in designing and subcontracting the manufacture of new products that implement new technologies, product quality and reliability, price, the efficiency of production, ramp up of production of the Company's products for particular system manufacturers, end-user acceptance of the system manufacturers' products, market acceptance of competitors' products and general economic conditions. The Company's ability to compete in the future will also depend on its ability to identify and ensure compliance with evolving industry standards and market trends. Unanticipated changes in market trends

3



and industry standards could render the Company's products incompatible with products developed by major hardware manufacturers and software developers. As a result, the Company could be required to invest significant time and resources to redesign its products or obtain license rights to technologies owned by third parties in order to ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and market trends. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to redesign its products or obtain the necessary third-party licenses within the appropriate window of market demand. If the Company's products are not in compliance with prevailing market trends and industry standards for a significant period of time, the Company could miss crucial OEM design cycles, which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company's products are designed to afford the Handheld Internet Appliance manufacturer significant advantages with respect to product performance, power consumption and size. To the extent that other future developments in components or subassemblies incorporate one or more of the advantages offered by the Company's products, the market demand for the Company's products may be negatively impacted.

        NeoMagic competes with major domestic and international companies, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. The Company's principal competitors include National Semiconductor, Cirrus Logic, Intel's Strong Arm product line, and a number of vertically integrated electronics firms who are developing their own solutions. NeoMagic may also face increased competition from new entrants into the Handheld Internet Appliance Semiconductor market including companies currently at developmental stages. Certain of the Company's competitors may offer products with more functionality and or higher processor speeds at the expense of battery life and power consumption than the Company's product offerings. The Company's product developments continue to utilize embedded DRAM technologies to produce System-On-Chip technology. As such, the introduction of Multi-Chip module ("MCM") solutions offer an additional competitive solution. The MCM solution increases access memory both internally in the packaged module and externally, with connections to discrete memory on the motherboard, for higher performance at the expense of battery life and power consumption. The successful commercial introduction by competitors of products that integrate DRAM with analog and logic circuitry on a single chip, or the inability of the Company to produce products for their new market, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.

        Some of the Company's current and potential competitors operate their own manufacturing facilities. Since the Company does not operate its own manufacturing facility and must make binding commitments to purchase products, it may not be able to reduce its costs and cycle time or adjust its production to meet changing demand as rapidly as companies that operate their own facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

Intellectual Property

        The Company relies in part on patents to protect its intellectual property. The Company has been issued 40 patents, each covering certain aspects of the design and architecture of the Company's products. Additionally, the Company has numerous patent applications pending. There can be no assurance that the Company's pending patent applications, or any future applications will be approved. Further, there can be no assurance that any issued patents will provide the Company with significant intellectual property protection, competitive advantages, or will not be challenged by third parties, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to do business. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate the Company's products or design around any patents that may be issued to the Company.

        The Company also relies on a combination of mask work protection, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to protect

4



its intellectual property. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or intellectual property, or disclose such intellectual property or trade secrets, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its intellectual property. A failure by the Company to meaningfully protect its intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        As a general matter, the semiconductor industry is characterized by substantial litigation, regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In December 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Trident Microsystems, Inc. The suit alleges that Trident's embedded DRAM graphics accelerators infringe certain patents held by the Company. In January 1999, Trident filed a counter claim against the Company alleging an attempted monopolization in violation of antitrust laws, arising from NeoMagic's filing of the patent infringement action against Trident in December. The Court has ruled that there is no infringement by Trident. Management disagrees with this ruling and is evaluating our legal options. Management also believes the Company has valid defenses against Trident's claims. There can be no assurance as to the results of the patent infringement suit and the counter-suit for antitrust filed by Trident.

        Any patent litigation, whether or not determined in the Company's favor or settled by the Company, would at a minimum be costly and could divert the efforts and attention of the Company's management and technical personnel from productive tasks, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that current or future infringement claims by third parties or claims for indemnification by other customers or end users of the Company's products resulting from infringement claims will not be asserted in the future or that such assertions, if proven to be true, will not materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of any adverse ruling in any such matter, the Company could be required to pay substantial damages, which could include treble damages, cease the manufacturing, use and sale of infringing products, discontinue the use of certain processes or to obtain a license under the intellectual property rights of the third party claiming infringement. There can be no assurance, however, that a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any limitations on the Company's ability to market its products, or delays and costs associated with redesigning its products or payments of license fees to third parties, or any failure by the Company to develop or license a substitute technology on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Backlog

        As a result of the discontinuance of the notebook computer product line, the Company has no backlog. Sales of the Company's products had been primarily made pursuant to standard purchase orders that were cancelable without significant penalties. These purchase orders were subject to price renegotiations and to changes in quantities of products and delivery schedules in order to reflect changes in customers' requirements and manufacturing availability. Also, many of the Company's customers were moving to "just in time" relationships with their vendors, whereby orders for product deliveries were not provided to the supplier until just prior to the requested delivery. A large portion of the Company's sales in the past were made pursuant to short lead-time orders. In addition, the Company's actual shipments depend on the manufacturing capacity of the Company's suppliers and the availability of products from such suppliers. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company does not believe that backlog is a meaningful indicator of future sales.

Employees

        As of January 31, 2001, the Company employed a total of 138 full-time employees, including 94 in research and development, 6 in customer service and applications engineering, 6 in sales and marketing, 5 in manufacturing and 27 in finance and administration. In March, 2001 the Company reduced its workforce in the U.S. by 18 and by 25 in Israel to be more in-line with its plans for fiscal year 2002. The Company also employs, from time to time, a number of temporary and part-time employees as well as consultants on a contract basis. The Company's employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization, and the Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        When used in this discussion, the words "expects," "anticipates," "believes" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management's current intentions and expectations. However, actual events and results could vary significantly based on a variety of factors including, and not limited to: the abilities of manufacturing subcontractors to make adequate and timely deliveries, access to advanced production process technologies from manufacturing subcontractors, recruiting and retaining employees including those with engineering expertise in new disciplines. In particular, the Company's new product development efforts and customer engagements in System-on-Chip integration and MPEG-4 represent new endeavors and consequently carry greater risks of successful and timely execution. These factors along with those set forth below under "Factors that May Affect Results," are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein, to reflect any changes in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Overview

        The Company designed, developed and marketed high-performance semiconductor solutions for sale to original equipment manufacturers of mobile computing products including notebook PCs, and over the last several years, began development of silicon solutions for digital cameras and DVD drives. In April 2000, the Company successfully concluded the sale of the DVD product group to LSI Logic. The Company pioneered the first commercially available high-performance silicon technology that integrated DRAM, complex logic and analog circuits into a single chip. The Company's proprietary MagicWare™ technology eliminates the need to drive signals off-chip to discrete memory, achieving a performance advantage while actually lowering the power consumption and extending the battery life for smaller, lighter weight portable devices. The first commercial application for the Company's technology was in the design, development and marketing of multimedia accelerators for sale to notebook computer manufacturers. The Company's MagicGraph128™ and MagicMedia256™ families of pin-compatible multimedia accelerators incorporated 128-bit and 256-bit memory buses, respectively.

        All of the Company's net sales to date were derived from sales of its multimedia accelerator products. The Company may experience minimal sales of these products in fiscal 2002. The Company expects to see limited revenues from its new product efforts in the Handheld Internet Appliance market place in fiscal 2002. The Company generally recognizes revenue upon title passage for product sales directly to customers. The Company's policy is to defer recognition of revenue of shipments to distributors until the distributors sell the product. Historically, a majority of the Company's sales have been to a limited number of customers. The Company expects that a substantial portion of sales of its new products will also be to a limited number of customers. The customers contributing significant amounts of net sales have varied and will continue to vary depending on the timing and success of new product introductions by the Company and its customers.

        On April 20, 2000 the Company announced a change in strategy ceasing further development efforts of its existing notebook multimedia product line, and focusing future development efforts on technologies and products to enable multimedia communications. As a result, the Company undertook a significant resizing of its operations, and reduced its workforce by approximately 50% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Included in this total are employees of the Company's DVD product line, which was sold to LSI Logic Corporation in a transaction announced on April 14, 2000. In March 2001, the Company reduced its workforce in the U.S. by 18 and in Israel by 25 to be more in-line with its plans for fiscal year 2002.

10



        In April 2000, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, the Company sold the principal assets of the DVD product group to LSI Logic (Buyer). The assets primarily consisted of fixed assets and intangible assets. In exchange for the assets sold to the Buyer, the Company received $11.7 million in a lump-sum cash payment. An additional $2.3 million was contingent on the Company's performance of certain obligations related to the transfer of licenses with third parties to the Buyer. The Company wrote-off approximately $3.6 million in capitalized intellectual property, fixed assets and prepaid expenses related to the DVD product group which was transferred to the Buyer. In addition, the Company accrued approximately $0.6 million in transaction costs and approximately $2.3 million in retention packages for the affected employees during the first quarter. During the second quarter the Company incurred additional costs of $0.3 million. During the third quarter the Company received a $1.5 million cash payment which was previously contingent on the Company's performance of certain obligations related to the transfer of licenses with third parties to the Buyer. These transactions have been recorded in Income, net of expenses, from the sale of DVD assets on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2001. As a result, the Company has recorded a total pre-tax gain of approximately $6.5 million on the sale, which is recorded in Income, net of expenses, from the sale of DVD assets on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2001.

        In January 2001 the Company extended its wafer supply agreement with Infineon Technologies AG of Germany through fiscal 2004 to support the Company's new product efforts. Under the terms of the agreement, production for NeoMagic will make use of Infineon's current 0.20 micron and new 0.17 micron embedded DRAM process technologies. The agreement also provides for access to additional capacity and more advanced process technologies as they become available. NeoMagic has provided $15 million in guarantees towards its purchases over the term of the agreement.

        Going forward the Company expects minimal revenue from its discontinued notebook line in fiscal 2002 as it focuses on developing and producing Integrated System-on-Chip semiconductor products for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001 the Company restructured its operations to protect its financial strength. In the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company set the basic parameters of its new direction, commenced significant engineering activities, and began customer discussions in the first of its new product areas. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001 the Company continued to refine and evolve its products and refine its market focus, while adding key staff with new skills. While the Company expects a net loss for the next fiscal year as a whole, it is managing its spending prudently and expects to end the fiscal year with more than $75 million in cash. The Company remains on its plan to drive the first of its new product efforts for market entry with limited revenues anticipated from its System-on-Chip technology for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace beginning towards the end of fiscal year 2002. Key to this timing will be the market rollout timing of our first customers.

        The Company's fiscal year end is January 31. Any references herein to a fiscal year refer to the year ended January 31 of such year.

Net sales

        The Company's net sales to date have been generated from the sale of its multimedia accelerators. The Company's historical products were used in the personal computer industry with sales primarily in Asia, Japan, and the United States. Net sales were $75.8 million, $259.7 million and $240.5 million in fiscal 2001, 2000; and 1999, respectively. The substantial decrease in sales from fiscal 2000 to fiscal 2001 is due to the Company ending its notebook multimedia product line and beginning to focus development efforts on developing Integrated System-on-Chip semiconductor products for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace. The Company expects that the percentage of its net sales represented by any one product or type of product may change significantly from period to period when new products are introduced and existing products reach the end of their product life cycles. The Company expects that net sales, for fiscal 2002 will be minimal due to the timing of its new products.

        Sales to customers located outside the United States (including sales to the foreign operations of customers with headquarters in the United States, and foreign system manufacturers that sell to United States-based OEMs) accounted for 85.5%, 80.2% and 83.6% of net sales in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company expects that export sales will continue to represent a significant portion of net sales, although there can be no assurance that export sales as a percentage of net sales will remain at current levels. All sales transactions were denominated in United States dollars.

        Four customers accounted for 25.5%, 21.4%, 15.1%, and 13.6%, respectively, of net sales in fiscal 2001. Five customers accounted for 20.2%, 19.6%, 12.9%, 12.3% and 12.1% respectively, of net sales in fiscal 2000. Three customers accounted for 19.8%, 17.1% and 10.5%, respectively, of net sales in fiscal 1999. The Company expects a significant portion of its future sales to remain concentrated with a limited number of strategic customers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its strategic customers. In addition, sales to any particular customer may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. The occurrence of any such events or the loss of a strategic customer could

12



have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results and the timing of the Company's new product introduction.

Gross Margin

        Gross margin was $14.5 million, $78.4 million and $97.6 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Cost of sales includes amortization of deferred compensation of $44,000, $7,000, and $31,000 for fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The gross margin percentage decreased to 19.1% of net sales in fiscal 2001 from 30.2% of net sales in fiscal 2000 primarily due to excess and obsolete write-downs of $7.0 million, a lower of cost or market adjustment of $2.3 million, and cancellation penalties to our manufacturing partners of $2.6 million related to restructuring the business in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The gross margin percentage decreased to 30.2% of net sales in fiscal 2000 from 40.6% of net sales in fiscal 1999 due primarily to increases in wafer prices for the Company's MagicMedia256 product line. Also affecting fiscal 2000 gross margin was a decrease in the dollar/yen exchange rate throughout the year and low production yields on new product ramp-ups.

        In the future, the Company's gross margin percentages may be affected by increased competition and related decreases in unit average selling prices (particularly with respect to older generation products), changes in the mix of products sold, timing of volume shipments of new products, the availability and cost of products from the Company's suppliers, manufacturing yields (particularly on new products), and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has exited the Notebook PC Multimedia Accelerator marketplace and expects to introduce products for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace late in fiscal 2002. Revenues from these new products are expected to be limited in fiscal 2002 and gross margins are expected to be lower than for the notebook products initially until volume production is reached.

Research and Development Expenses

        Research and development expenses include compensation and associated costs relating to development personnel, operating system software costs and prototyping costs, which are comprised of photomask costs and pre-production wafer costs. Research and development expenses were $27.5 million, $38.0 million and $31.7 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. These expenses include amortization of deferred compensation of $2.0 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, significant investments in research and development to remain competitive by developing new and enhanced products to serve its identified markets. Research and development expenses decreased in fiscal 2001 due to a reduction in the number of employees and an overall effort to reduce expenses. Research and development expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars in fiscal 2002 due to development efforts on the Company's new product effort in the area of Handheld Internet Appliances. Research and development expenses increased in fiscal 2000 primarily as a result of increased employee related expenses on higher headcount, increased prototyping costs associated with new product development, and amortization of intangibles associated with the acquisitions of ACL and the Optical Drive Development Group of Mitel Corporation.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

        Sales, general and administrative expenses were $13.1 million, $18.5 million and $20.8 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. These expenses include amortization of deferred compensation of $0.6 million, $0.4 million, and $0.5 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal 2001 due primarily to lower outside commissions on lower sales, and the Company's ongoing cost reduction efforts offset in part by $0.8 million of employee related severance expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 in connection with restructuring the business. Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal 2000 compared

13



to fiscal 1999, due primarily to lower outside commissions on lower sales and the Company's ongoing cost reduction efforts. Because of cost controls and the Company's projections for downward revenue that will result in decreased commissions, sales, general and administrative expenses are expected to decrease in absolute dollars in fiscal 2002.

Acquired in-process research and development

        The Company incurred approximately $5.3 million of charges for acquired in-process research and development ("IPRD") in connection with its fiscal 2000 acquisitions of the Optical Drive Storage Group from Mitel Semiconductor and Associative Computers, Ltd., ("ACL"). The amount allocated to the acquired in-process research and development was determined using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows from each of the technologies under development to their net present value, at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. The technologies under development were analyzed to determine their technological accomplishments; the existence and utilization of core technologies; the existence of any alternative future uses; their technological feasibility; and the stage of completion of the development activities, including the efforts required to complete the remaining development activities. The technologies under development were classified as developed technology, IPRD completed, IPRD to be completed or future development activities. Projected future net cash flows attributable to each of these categories were discounted to their net present value using a discount rate which was derived based on the Company's estimated weighted average cost of capital plus a risk premium to account for the inherent uncertainty surrounding the successful completion of each project and the associated estimated cash flows. The IPRD charge includes only the fair value of IPRD completed. The technologies underlying the IPRD amounts were deemed to have no alternative future uses. The fair value assigned to developed technology is included in other assets, and no value was assigned to the IPRD to be completed or future development activities. The Company believes that these fair values do not exceed the amount a third party would pay for each such in-process technology. Failure to timely deliver commercially viable products to the market, or to achieve market acceptance or the revenue and expense forecasts could have a significant impact on the financial results and operations of the acquired businesses.

        The total charge for IPRD for the Optical Drive Storage Group transaction, completed in February 1999, was approximately $2.0 million. The technologies acquired from this group were mixed signal analog and digital video disk ("DVD") optical storage read-channel technologies. The Optical Drive Storage Group's development efforts were estimated to be approximately 50% complete at the date of the acquisition. The Company planned to integrate these technologies with its embedded DRAM technologies and develop products for the DVD Notebook, DVD Desktop and DVD Player/Recorder markets. Prior to the acquisition, the Optical Drive Storage Group had generated no revenues. Revenue from commercially viable products for these markets was not anticipated until late calendar 2000 or in 2001. The discount rates used for the IPRD technologies and developed technologies were 40% and 25%, respectively.

        The total charge for IPRD for the ACL transaction, completed in February 1999, was approximately $3.3 million. The technologies acquired from ACL were associative array (parallel) processing architectures that enabled high speed computing. ACL's development efforts were estimated to be approximately 42% complete at the date of the acquisition. The Company planned to integrate these technologies with its embedded DRAM technologies and develop products for the digital camera and camcorder markets. Prior to the acquisition, ACL had generated no revenues. Revenues from commercially viable products for the above markets are not anticipated until late calendar 2001. The discount rates used for the IPRD technologies and developed technologies were each 50%.

        Except for the Company's plans to no longer pursue the development activities acquired from the Optical Drive Storage Group (DVD product group) due to the sale of this business to LSI, there have been no significant changes in the assumptions used in the IPRD analyses relating to the timing of

14



expected future revenues or the amount of development expenses and efforts expected to be required to bring the in-process research and development technologies to completion and to achieve such revenues. The Company successfully concluded the sale of the DVD group to LSI Logic in April, 2000. The gain from the sale of the DVD group of $6.5 million is included in Income, net of expenses, from the sale of DVD assets on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

Income, Net of Expenses, from the Sale of DVD Assets

        In April 2000, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, the Company sold the principal assets of the DVD product group to LSI Logic ("Buyer"). The assets primarily consisted of fixed assets and intangible assets. In exchange for the assets sold to the Buyer, the Company received $11.7 million in a lump-sum cash payment. An additional $2.3 million was contingent on the Company's performance of certain obligations related to the transfer of licenses with third parties to the Buyer. The Company wrote-off approximately $3.6 million in capitalized intellectual property, fixed assets and prepaid expenses related to the DVD product group that was transferred to the Buyer. In addition, the Company accrued approximately $0.6 million in transaction costs and approximately $2.3 million in retention packages for the affected employees during the first quarter. During the second quarter the Company incurred additional costs of $0.3 million. During the third quarter the Company received a $1.5 million cash payment which was previously contingent on the Company's performance of certain obligations related to the transfer of licenses with third parties to the Buyer. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $6.5 million on the sale, which is recorded in Income, net of expenses, from the sale of DVD assets on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

Interest and Other Income

        The Company earns interest on its cash and short-term investments. Interest and other income was $6.0 million, $3.8 million and $3.8 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2001 stemmed from higher interest income earned on higher cash and short-term investment balances.

Interest Expense

        The Company pays interest and bank commissions on wafer purchases and interest on its leases. Interest expense was $0.3 million, $0.8 million, and $1.3 million in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in interest expense from fiscal 2000 to fiscal 2001 reflects lower interest and bank commissions on reduced purchases and lower capital lease balances. The decrease in interest expense from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000 reflects lower interest and commission rates due to reduced purchases and lower capital lease balances than the prior year.

Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax (benefit) rate was (39%) in fiscal 2001, 35% in fiscal 2000 and 34% in fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2001, the Company incurred a loss and the tax benefit rate resulted from carrying back the loss to tax years where a refund could be claimed. The increase in the effective tax rate from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000 was due to the establishment of a valuation allowance related to acquisitions during the year, offset by research and development credits. The difference between the Company's fiscal 2001 effective tax rate and the statutory rate is primarily due to the utilization of research and development tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $107.8 million, $96.5 million, and $92.7 million as of the end of fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in

15



cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in fiscal 2001 stems primarily from cash from investing activities and from cash provided by operating activities. Cash from investing activities includes $10.1 million in proceeds from the sale of the DVD product group offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $2.3 million. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in fiscal 2000 stems primarily from cash provided by operating activities, offset in part by the two acquisitions completed in February 1999 for $10.4 million and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $7.4 million.

        Cash and cash equivalents provided from operating activities were $2.8 million, $19.6 million and $45.1 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The cash provided from operating activities in fiscal 2001 stems primarily from decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, offset in part by the net loss of $8.4 million and decreases in accounts payable and income taxes payable. The cash provided from operating activities in fiscal 2000 stems primarily from $12.7 million in net income and a decrease in inventory, offset in part by a decrease in accounts payable. The cash provided from operating activities in fiscal 1999 stems primarily from $31.2 million in net income, an increase in accounts payable and a reduction in deferred taxes, offset in part by increased accounts receivable, inventory and other assets.

        Net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2001 was $36.3 million while net cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2000 and 1999 was $25.2 million and $25.5 million, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2001 was primarily due to net proceeds received on the sale of the DVD product group of $10.1 million and net maturities of short-term investments of $28.5 million, partially offset by purchase of property, plant, and equipment. Net cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2000 related primarily to cash paid of $10.4 million for two acquisitions, $7.3 million of net purchases of short-term investments and $7.4 million of investments in property, plant and equipment. Net cash used for investing activities in fiscal 1999 related primarily to $20.1 million of net purchases of short-term investments and $5.4 million of investments in property, plant and equipment. Continued operation of the Company's business may require higher levels of capital equipment purchases, technology investments, foundry investments and other payments to secure manufacturing capacity. The timing and amount of future investments will depend primarily on the level of the Company's future revenues.

        Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 was $0.7 million and $2.0 million respectively, compared to net cash used for financing activities of $18.0 million in fiscal 1999. The net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2001 primarily represents net proceeds from the issuance of common stock partially offset by payments on capital lease obligations. The net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2000 primarily represents net proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The net cash used for financing activities in fiscal 1999 related primarily to the pay-down of the working capital line of credit of $21.0 million, offset in part by proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

        At January 31, 2001, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $107.8 million. The Company believes that it will not generate cash over the upcoming twelve months, and believes the current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will satisfy the Company's projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the next twelve months. Investments will continue in the Company's new product development efforts in the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the rate of net sales, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development programs, the timing of any new product introductions, and market acceptance of the Company's products. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

16



        In January 2001 the Company signed an extension of its wafer supply agreement with Infineon Technologies. In connection with that agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase fifty thousand wafers before February 27, 2004. To secure this agreement, the Company opened an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $15 million in February 2001. The Company has secured the letter of credit with a $15 million deposit at the issuing bank. Beginning in fiscal 2002, these funds will be shown on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash until the letter of credit expires in fiscal 2004. In connection with the work force reduction in March 2001, the Company expects to incur severance charges of approximately $600,000 in fiscal 2002.

Impact of Currency Exchange Rates

        In the past, the Company has purchased wafers under contracts denominated in yen. Significant appreciation in the value of the yen relative to the value of the U.S. dollar would make the wafers relatively more expensive to the Company, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company generally enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize short-term foreign currency fluctuation exposures related to these firm purchase commitments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company's accounting policies for these instruments are based on the Company's designation of such instruments as hedging transactions. The criteria the Company uses for designating an instrument as a hedge include its effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one matching of derivative instruments to underlying transactions.

        Notwithstanding the measures the Company has adopted, due to the unpredictability and volatility of currency exchange rates and currency controls, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience currency losses in the future, nor can the Company predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. The Company did not experience fluctuations during fiscal 2001 that negatively impacted the Company's gross margin and results of operations.

Factors that May Affect Results

Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results

        The Company's quarterly and annual results of operations are affected by a variety of factors that could materially adversely affect net sales, gross margin and operating results. These factors include, among others, the abilities of manufacturing subcontractors to make adequate and timely deliveries, access to advanced production process technologies from manufacturing subcontractors, recruiting and retaining employees including those with engineering expertise in new disciplines. In particular, the Company's new product development efforts and customer engagements in System-on-Chip integration and MPEG-4 streaming video represent new endeavors and consequently carry greater risks of successful and timely execution. Any one or more of these factors could result in the Company failing to achieve its expectations as to future revenues and profits. The Company may be unable to adjust spending sufficiently in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfall, which could materially adversely affect quarterly operating results. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. In addition, the results of any quarterly period are not indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year. In future quarters, the Company's operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. Since the Company's announcement of its expectation of declining revenues, gross margins and operating results, the market price of the Common Stock has been and is expected to be for some time in the future, materially adversely affected.

Customer Concentration

        The Company's sales have been concentrated within a limited customer base in the notebook PC market. The Company exited the notebook PC market and is currently developing products for the Handheld Internet Appliance market. The Company has engaged customers for the products under development, but currently has no commitments. The Company expects to have commitments from only a limited number of customers by the end of fiscal 2002. The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of its net sales for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the majority of the Company's sales were made and are expected to continue to be made on the basis of purchase orders rather than pursuant to long-term purchase agreements. As a result, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the decision of a single customer to cease using the Company's products, or by a decline in the number of Handheld Internet Appliances sold by a single customer.

Competition

        In April 2000, the Company announced its intention to exit the Notebook PC Multimedia Accelerator market and focus on the market for Handheld Internet Appliances. The Company has now exited the Notebook PC Multimedia market and expects to introduce products for the Handheld Internet Appliance market in the latter half of fiscal 2002. The market for semiconductor solutions for Handheld Internet Appliances, in which the Company is now focused, is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and declining average selling prices. NeoMagic believes that the principal factors of competition in this market are performance, price, features, power consumption, size and software support. The ability of the Company to compete successfully in this new rapidly evolving Handheld Internet Appliance market depends on a number of factors including: success in designing, subcontracting the manufacture of new products that implement new technologies, product quality and reliability, price, the efficiency of production, ramp up of production of the Company's products for particular system manufacturers, end-user acceptance of the system manufacturers' products, market acceptance of competitors' products, general economic conditions, and the acceptance of our customer's products in the marketplace. The Company's ability to compete in the future will also depend on its ability to identify and ensure compliance with evolving industry standards and market trends. Unanticipated changes in market trends and industry standards could render the Company's products incompatible with products developed by major hardware manufacturers and software developers. As a result, the Company could be required to invest significant time and resources to redesign its products or obtain license rights to technologies owned by third parties in order to ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and market trends. There can be no assurance that the Company could redesign its products or obtain the necessary third-party licenses within the appropriate window of market demand. If the Company's products are not in compliance with prevailing market trends and industry standards for a significant period of time, the Company could miss crucial OEM design cycles, which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company's products are designed to afford the Handheld Internet Appliance manufacturer significant advantages with respect to product performance, power consumption and size. To the extent that other future developments in components or subassemblies incorporate one or more of the advantages offered by the Company's products, the market demand for the Company's products may be negatively impacted.

        NeoMagic competes with major domestic and international companies, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. The Company's principal competitors include National Semiconductor, Cirrus Logic, Intel's Strong Arm product line, and a number of vertically integrated electronics firms who are developing their own solutions. NeoMagic may also face increased competition from new entrants into the Handheld Internet Appliance Semiconductor market

18



including companies currently at developmental stages. Certain of the Company's competitors may offer products with more functionality and or higher processor speeds at the expense of battery life and power consumption than the Company's product offerings. The Company's product developments continue to utilize embedded DRAM technologies to produce System-On-Chip technology. As such, the introduction of Multi Chip module ("MCM") solutions offer an additional competitive solution. The MCM solution increases access memory both internally in the packaged module and externally, with connections to discrete memory on the motherboard, for higher performance at the expense of battery life and power consumption. The successful commercial introduction by competitors of products that integrate DRAM with analog and logic circuitry on a single chip, or the inability of the Company to produce products for their new market, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.

        Also, some of the Company's current and potential competitors operate their own manufacturing facilities. Since the Company does not operate its own manufacturing facility and must make binding commitments to purchase products, it may not be able to reduce its costs and cycle time or adjust its production to meet changing demand as rapidly as companies that operate their own facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

Dependence on Manufacturing Relationships

        The Company's products require wafers manufactured with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and techniques. The Company has signed an extended wafer supply agreement with Infineon Technologies AG of Germany to manufacture the Company's wafers. This new agreement extends the relationship which was first announced in April of 1999, expanding the production capacity commitments between the two companies and providing the Company with access to more advanced process technologies. The Company expects that, for the foreseeable future, some of its products will be manufactured by a single source. Since, in the Company's experience, the lead time needed to establish a strategic relationship with a new DRAM partner is at least 12 months, and the estimated time for a foundry to switch to a new product line ranges from four to nine months, there may be no readily available alternative source of supply for specific products. A manufacturing disruption experienced by the Company's manufacturing partner or the failure of the Company's manufacturing partner to dedicate adequate resources to the production of the Company's products would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, in the event that the transition to the next generation of manufacturing technologies by the Company's manufacturing partner is unsuccessful, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

        There are many other risks associated with the Company's dependence upon third party manufacturers, including: reduced control over delivery schedules, quality, manufacturing yields and cost; the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand; limited warranties on wafers supplied to the Company; and potential misappropriation of NeoMagic's intellectual property. The Company is dependent on its manufacturing partner to produce wafers with acceptable quality and manufacturing yields, deliver those wafers on a timely basis to the Company's third party assembly subcontractors and to allocate to the Company a portion of their manufacturing capacity sufficient to meet the Company's needs. Although the Company's products are designed using the process design rules of the particular manufacturer, there can be no assurance that the Company's manufacturing partner will be able to achieve or maintain acceptable yields or deliver sufficient quantities of wafers on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company's manufacturing partner will continue to devote adequate resources to the production of the Company's products or continue to advance the process design technologies on which the manufacturing of the Company's products are based.

19



        The Company's notebook multimedia products have been assembled and tested by third party subcontractors as will the Company's new products for the Handheld Internet Appliance marketplace. The Company does not have long-term agreements with any of these subcontractors. Such assembly and testing is conducted on a purchase order basis. As a result of its reliance on third party subcontractors to assemble and test its products, the Company cannot directly control product delivery schedules, which could lead to product shortages or quality assurance problems that could increase the costs of manufacturing or assembly of the Company's products. Due to the amount of time normally required to qualify assembly and test subcontractors, product shipments could be delayed significantly if the Company were required to find alternative subcontractors. Any problems associated with the delivery, quality or cost of the assembly and test of the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Inventory Risk

        The Company has extended its wafer supply agreement with Infineon Technologies AG of Germany through fiscal 2004 to support the Company's new product efforts. The Company has provided $15 million in guarantees towards its purchases over the term of the agreement. Under its wafer supply agreement with Infineon, the Company is obligated to provide rolling 12-month forecasts of anticipated purchases and to place binding purchase orders three to four months prior to shipment. The Company orders wafers for deliveries at least 3-5 months in advance and with the additional time to assemble and test wafers, the Company can have orders for finished goods that will not be available for up to six months into the future. If the Company does not have sufficient demand for its products and cannot cancel its current and future commitments without material impact, the Company may experience excess inventory, which will result in a write-off affecting gross margin and results of operations. If the Company cancels a purchase order, it must pay cancellation penalties based on the status of work in process or the proximity of the cancellation to the delivery date. Forecasts of monthly purchases may not increase or decrease by more than a certain percentage from the previous month's forecast without the manufacturer's consent. Thus, the Company must make forecasts and place purchase orders for wafers before it receives purchase orders from its own customers. This limits the Company's ability to react to fluctuations in demand for its products, which can be unexpected and dramatic, and from time-to-time will cause the Company to have an excess or shortage of wafers for a particular product. As a result of the long lead-time for manufacturing wafers and the increase in "just in time" ordering by manufacturers, semiconductor companies such as the Company from time-to-time must take charges for excess inventory. The Company did in fact incur such charges in fiscal 2001 of $9.2 million. Significant write-offs of excess inventory have had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, failure to order sufficient wafers would cause the Company to miss revenue opportunities and, if significant, could impact sales by the Company's customers, which could adversely affect the Company's customer relationships and thereby materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. At January 31, 2001, the Company has no outstanding purchase orders. If orders from NeoMagic's customers do not meet the Company's expectations, the Company may incur a charge associated with its $15 million guarantee with Infineon.

Manufacturing Yields

        The fabrication of semiconductors is a complex and precise process. Because NeoMagic's products feature the integration of large DRAM memory with analog and logic circuitry on a single chip, a manufacturer must obtain acceptable yields of both the memory and logic portions of such products, compounding the complexity of the manufacturing process. As a result, the Company may face greater manufacturing challenges than its competitors. Minute levels of contaminants in the manufacturing environment, defects in masks used to print circuits on a wafer, difficulties in the fabrication process or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or a significant number of die

20



on each wafer to be nonfunctional. Many of these problems are difficult to diagnose and time consuming or expensive to remedy. As a result, semiconductor companies often experience problems in achieving acceptable wafer manufacturing yields, which are represented by the number of good die as a proportion of the total number of die on any particular wafer. The Company purchases wafers, not die, and pays an agreed upon price for wafers meeting certain acceptance criteria. Accordingly, the Company bears the risk of the yield of good die from wafers purchased meeting the acceptance criteria. The Company experienced such yield problems in fiscal 2000 which materially adversely affected the Company's net sales, gross margins and results of operations in fiscal 2000 and 2001.

        Semiconductor manufacturing yields are a function of both product design, which is developed largely by the Company, and process technology, which is typically proprietary to the manufacturer. Historically, the Company has experienced lower yields on new products. Since low yields may result from either design or process technology failures, yield problems may not be effectively determined or resolved until an actual product exists that can be analyzed and tested to identify process sensitivities relating to the design rules that are used. As a result, yield problems may not be identified until well into the production process, and resolution of yield problems would require cooperation by and communication between the Company and the manufacturer. This risk is compounded by the offshore location of the Company's manufacturers, increasing the effort and time required identifying, communicating and resolving manufacturing yield problems. As the Company's relationships with new manufacturing partners develop, yields could be adversely affected due to difficulties associated with adopting the Company's technology and product design to the proprietary process technology and design rules of each manufacturer. Any significant decrease in manufacturing yields could result in an increase in the Company's per unit product cost and could force the Company to allocate its available product supply among its customers, potentially adversely impacting customer relationships as well as revenues and gross margins. There can be no assurance that the Company's manufacturers will achieve or maintain acceptable manufacturing yields in the future.

Dependence on New Product Development, New Markets and Rapid Technological Change

        During the first fiscal quarter of this year, the Company changed its primary market and business focus. The Company closed all new product development efforts in multimedia ICs for notebook computers. The Company's other new product plans and development efforts were reconsidered as well.

        The Company is now focused on developing high-performance semiconductor solutions for sale to original equipment manufacturers of Handheld Internet Appliances. New product planning began in fiscal 2001 primarily focused on Integrated System-on-Chip semiconductor products for Handheld Internet Appliances and MPEG-4 video compression technology. The Company's future business, financial condition and results of operations will depend to a significant extent on its ability to develop new products that address these market opportunities. As a result, the Company believes that significant expenditures for research and development will continue to be required in the future. Handheld Internet Appliances and MPEG-4 streaming video are relatively new technologies, and are characterized by rapidly changing infrastructure, evolving industry standards and uncertain average selling prices. The Company must anticipate the features and functionality that consumers and infrastructure providers will demand, incorporate those features and functionality into products that meet the exacting design requirements of equipment manufacturers, price its products competitively and introduce the products to the market on a timely basis. The success of new product introductions is dependent on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely completion and introduction of new product designs, the ability to create or acquire Intellectual Property, the ability of strategic manufacturing partners to effectively design and implement the manufacture of new products, quality of new products, differentiation of new products from those of the Company's competitors and market acceptance of the Company's and its customers' products. There can be no assurance that the

21



products the Company expects to introduce will incorporate the features and functionality demanded by system manufacturers and consumers, will be successfully developed, or will be introduced within the appropriate window of market demand.

        The Company intends to continue relying in part upon the integration of large DRAM with analog and logic circuitry on a single chip as a primary means of product differentiation. The integration of large DRAM memory with analog and logic circuitry on a single chip is highly complex and is critical to the Company's success. Because of the complexity of its products, however, the Company has experienced delays from time to time in completing development and introduction of new products. In addition, the Company is now embarked on the development of new products in markets in which the Company has no history. In the event that there are delays in the completion of development of future products, including the products currently under development for introduction over the next 12 to 18 months, the Company's potential future business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. Although the development cycles for the memory and logic portions of the Company's products have been relatively synchronized to date, there can be no assurance that this synchronization will continue in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that fundamental advances in either the memory or logic components of the Company's products will not significantly increase the complexity inherent in the design and manufacture of the Company's products, rendering the Company's product technologically infeasible or uncompetitive. The time required for competitors to develop and introduce competing products may be shorter and manufacturing yields may be better than those experienced by the Company.

        The Company is no longer pursuing new product development or new sales opportunities in its notebook multimedia product line, and anticipates minimal revenues from future sales of its existing products in this market. The Company has exited the Notebook PC market and does not anticipate revenues from its Handheld Internet Appliance products until late in fiscal 2002. This situation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations in fiscal 2002.

Uncertainty Regarding Patents and Protection of Proprietary Rights

        The Company relies in part on patents to protect its intellectual property. The Company has been issued 40 patents, each covering certain aspects of the design and architecture of the Company's products. Additionally, the Company has numerous patent applications pending. There can be no assurance that the Company's pending patent applications, or any future applications will be approved. Further, there can be no assurance that any issued patents will provide the Company with significant intellectual property protection, competitive advantages, or will not be challenged by third parties, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to do business. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate the Company's products or design around any patents that may be issued to the Company.

        The Company also relies on a combination of mask work protection, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to protect its intellectual property. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or intellectual property, or disclose such intellectual property or trade secrets, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its intellectual property. A failure by the Company to meaningfully protect its intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        As a general matter, the semiconductor industry is characterized by substantial litigation, regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In December 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Trident Microsystems, Inc. The suit

22



alleges that Trident's embedded DRAM graphics accelerators infringe certain patents held by the Company. In January 1999, Trident filed a counter claim against the Company alleging an attempted monopolization in violation of antitrust laws, arising from NeoMagic's filing of the patent infringement action against Trident. The Court has ruled that there is no infringement by Trident. Management disagrees with this ruling and is evaluating our legal options. Management also believes the Company has valid defenses against Trident's claims. There can be no assurance as to the results of the patent infringement suit and the counter-suit for antitrust filed by Trident.

        Any patent litigation, whether or not determined in the Company's favor or settled by the Company, would at a minimum be costly and could divert the efforts and attention of the Company's management and technical personnel from productive tasks, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that current or future infringement claims by third parties or claims for indemnification by other customers or end users of the Company's products resulting from infringement claims will not be asserted in the future or that such assertions, if proven to be true, will not materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of any adverse ruling in any such matter, the Company could be required to pay substantial damages, which could include treble damages, cease the manufacturing, use and sale of infringing products, discontinue the use of certain processes, or to obtain a license under the intellectual property rights of the third party claiming infringement. There can be no assurance, however, that a license would be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any limitations on the Company's ability to market its products, or delays and costs associated with redesigning its products or payments of license fees to third parties, or any failure by the Company to develop or license a substitute technology on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on International Sales and Suppliers

        Export sales have been a critical part of the Company's business. Sales to customers located outside the United States (including sales to the foreign operations of customers with headquarters in the United States and foreign system manufacturers that sell to United States-based OEMs) accounted for 85.5%, 80.2% and 83.6% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company expects that net sales derived from international sales will continue to represent a significant portion of its total net sales. Letters of credit issued by customers support a portion of the Company's international sales. To date, the Company's international sales have been denominated in United States dollars. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency of the Company's customers could make the Company's products relatively more expensive than competitors' products sold in the customer's local currency.

        International manufacturers have produced, and are expected to continue to produce for the foreseeable future, all of the Company's wafers. In addition, many of the assembly and test services used by the Company are procured from international sources. Under the Company's wafer supply agreement with Infineon, the wafers are priced in U.S. dollars.

        International sales and manufacturing operations are subject to a variety of risks, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, tariffs, import restrictions and other trade barriers, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, potentially adverse tax consequences and export license requirements. In addition, the Company is subject to the risks inherent in conducting business internationally including foreign government regulation, political and economic instability, and unexpected changes in diplomatic and trade relationships. Moreover, the laws of certain foreign countries in which the Company's products may be developed, manufactured or sold, may not protect the Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, thus increasing the possibility of piracy of the Company's products and intellectual property.

23



There can be no assurance that one or more of these risks will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Need for Additional Capital

        The Company requires substantial working capital to fund its business, particularly to finance inventories and accounts receivable and for capital expenditures. The Company believes that its existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital requirements through the next 12 months, although the Company could be required, or could elect, to seek to raise additional capital during such period. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of net sales growth, timing and extent of spending to support research and development programs in new and existing areas of technology, expansion of sales and marketing support activities, and timing and customer acceptance of new products. The Company may raise additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Dependence on Qualified Personnel

        The Company's future success depends in part on the continued service of its key engineering, sales, marketing, manufacturing, finance and executive personnel, and its ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the semiconductor industry, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the development of its business. The Company has experienced the loss of certain key personnel and also reduced personnel in its restructuring. If the Company's headcount is not appropriate for its future direction and the Company fails to recruit key personnel critical to its future direction in a timely manner, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volatility of Stock Price

        The market price of the Company's Common Stock, like that of other semiconductor companies, has been and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. The market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of the Company's Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors, including quarter-to-quarter variations in the Company's anticipated or actual operating results, announcements of new products, technological innovations or setbacks by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the semiconductor and PC industries, unanticipated shifts in the Handheld Internet Appliance market or industry standards, loss of key customers, changes in DRAM pricing, litigation commencement or developments, changes in or the failure by the Company to meet estimates of the Company's performance by securities analysts, market conditions for high technology stocks in general, and other events or factors. In future quarters, the Company's operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. Since the Company's decline in revenues, gross margins and operating results, the market price of the Common Stock has been and is expected to be for some time in the future, materially adversely affected.


Item 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

        In the past, the Company has purchased wafers in Japanese yen, and has utilized foreign currency forward contracts and options to minimize short-term foreign currency fluctuation exposures related to these purchases. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading

24



purposes. The Company's accounting policy for these instruments is based on the Company's designation of such instruments as hedge transactions. As of January 31, 2001, and 2000 the Company's foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

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

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and schedule referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NeoMagic Corporation at January 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NEOMAGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

        NeoMagic Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in 1993 in California and reincorporated in Delaware in February 1997. The Company pioneered the integration of DRAM, complex logic and analog circuits into a single integrated circuit. The Company designs, develops and markets high-performance semiconductor solutions for sale to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of Handheld Internet Appliances. The first commercial application of the Company's technology was in the multimedia accelerator market for notebook PCs.

Basis of Presentation

        The Company's fiscal year generally consists of a fifty-two week period ending on the Sunday closest to the January month end. Fiscal year 1999 ended on January 31, 1999 and was a fifty-three week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2000 ended on January 30, 2000. Fiscal 2001 ended on January 28, 2001. For convenience, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented as ending on the last day of the January calendar month.

Principals of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NeoMagic Japan (KK), NeoMagic International, NeoMagic International (Hong Kong) Ltd., NeoMagic Israel Ltd., NeoMagic U.K. Ltd., and NeoMagic Semiconductor India Private Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

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

Foreign Currency Transactions

        Foreign operations are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Accordingly, monetary accounts are measured using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Operating accounts and nonmonetary balance sheet accounts are remeasured at the rate in effect at the date of transaction. The effects of foreign currency remeasurement are reported in current operations and have not been material to date.

Derivative Financial Instruments

        In the past, the Company utilized derivative financial instruments to hedge wafer inventory purchases, which were priced in yen. The Company utilized foreign currency forward contracts to minimize foreign currency fluctuation exposures related to these purchase commitments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company's accounting policy for these instruments is based on the Company's designation of such instruments as a hedge transaction. The criteria the Company uses for designating an instrument as a hedge include its effectiveness in risk reduction and matching of derivative instruments to underlying transactions. Gains and losses on currency forward contracts that are designated as hedges, for which a firm commitment

34



has been attained, are deferred and recognized in income in the same period that the underlying transactions are settled. Gains and losses on any instrument not meeting the above criteria would be recognized in income in the current period. If an underlying hedged transaction is terminated earlier than initially anticipated, the offsetting gain or loss on the related derivative instrument would be recognized in income in the same period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents. Investments with an original maturity of greater than 90 days, but less than one year, are classified as short-term investments.

        The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Under SFAS 115, investments in marketable equity securities and debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost with corresponding premiums or discounts amortized to interest income over the life of the investment. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are included, net of tax, in stockholders' equity until their disposition. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income and other. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

        All cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair market value. For all classifications of securities, cost approximates fair market value as of January 31, 2001 and 2000, and consists of the following (in thousands):

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the respective assets, generally three to five years or, in the case of property under capital leases, over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or lease term.

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangibles

        The Company has goodwill and other acquired intangibles from the acquisition of ACL and from other licensed technologies of $3.0 million and $5.8 million at January 31, 2001 and January 31, 2000, respectively. These assets are recorded in other assets, net of amortization. Intangible assets, including goodwill, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives between two and four years. Total accumulated amortization recorded was $2.5 million and $1.4 million at January 31, 2001 and January 31, 2000, respectively. Reviews are regularly performed by the Company to determine whether the carrying value of these assets is impaired. The carrying amount is compared to the estimated undiscounted cash flows of these assets. Should the review indicate that these intangibles are not recoverable, their carrying amount would be reduced by the estimated shortfall of those cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenue from product sales is generally recognized upon passage of title, net of estimated returns. Revenue on shipment to distributors is deferred until the distributor sells the product.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Company's historical sales have been to PC notebook OEMs as well as to third-party system manufacturers who design and manufacture PC notebooks on behalf of the brand name OEMs. The Company expects to sell its future products to Handheld Internet Appliance OEMs as well as to third-party system manufacturers who design and manufacture Handheld Internet Appliances on behalf of the brand name OEMs. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers and, generally, does not require collateral. Letters of credit may be required from its customers in certain circumstances.

Earnings per Share

        Basic earnings per share represents the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. The dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities are included in diluted earnings per share in profitable periods, but are excluded in loss periods.

36



Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," ("SFAS 130") during the quarter ended April 30, 1998. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments to be included in comprehensive income (loss) and reported separately in stockholders' equity.

Segment Information

        The Company has one operating segment by which the chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. All of the Company's net sales to date have been derived from the sale of multimedia accelerators. The Company expects to continue to have one operating segment through at least fiscal 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ("SFAS 133") "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Standard will require companies to record all derivatives held on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative is either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the value related to the ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, is recognized in earnings. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 133 as of the beginning of its fiscal year 2002. The effect of adoption of the Standard is currently being evaluated, but is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3. ACQUISITIONS/DIVESTITURES

        The Company completed two acquisitions in February 1999. The Company acquired the operations of ACL of Tel Aviv, Israel from Robomatix Technology Ltd. for $6.0 million in cash and warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of NeoMagic common stock over a period of five years, at an exercise price of $20 per share. The Company also acquired the operations of the Optical Drive Development Group of Mitel Corporation for $4.0 million in cash. Both acquisitions were accounted for as purchases.

        For the ACL transaction, the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible assets has been allocated to intangible assets, primarily consisting of patents ($1.5 million), assembled workforce ($1.2 million), and goodwill ($0.2 million). In addition to the intangible assets acquired, the Company recorded a $3.3 million charge, representing the write-off of acquired in-process research and development ("IPRD").

        For the Mitel transaction, the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible assets acquired has been allocated to intangible assets, primarily consisting of patents ($1.2 million), assembled workforce ($0.2 million), and goodwill ($0.4 million). In addition to the intangible assets acquired, the Company recorded a $2.0 million charge, representing the write-off of acquired IPRD.

        In fiscal year 2000 the Company decided not to pursue the further development of technologies acquired from Mitel for the DVD market. In April 2000, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, the Company sold the principal assets of the DVD product group to LSI Logic ("Buyer"). The assets primarily consisted of fixed assets and intangible assets. In exchange for the assets sold to the Buyer, the Company received $11.7 million in a lump-sum cash payment. An additional $2.3 million was contingent on the Company's performance of certain obligations related to the transfer of licenses with third parties to the Buyer. The Company wrote-off approximately $3.6 million in capitalized intellectual property, fixed assets and prepaid expenses related to the DVD product group which was transferred to the Buyer. In addition, the Company accrued approximately $0.6 million in transaction costs and approximately $2.3 million in retention packages for the affected employees during the first quarter. During the second quarter the Company incurred additional costs of $0.3 million. During the third quarter the Company received a $1.5 million cash payment which was previously contingent on the Company's performance of certain obligations related to the transfer of licenses with third parties to the Buyer. As a result, the Company has recorded a total pre-tax gain of approximately $6.5 million on the sale, which is recorded in Income, net of expenses, from the sale of DVD assets on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001.

4. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

        In February 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under SAB 98, certain shares of convertible preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock, issued at prices substantially below the per share price sold in the Company's initial public offering in March 1997, previously included in the computation of shares outstanding pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletins Nos. 55, 64 and 83, are now excluded from the computation.

        Per share information calculated on this basis is as follows:

Year Ended January 31,

  2001
  2000
  1999
(in thousands except per share data)

   
   
   
Numerator:

Basic earnings (loss) per share   $ (.33 ) $ .51   $ 1.32
Diluted earnings (loss) per share   $ (.33 ) $ .49   $ 1.19

        The basic and diluted net income (loss) per share presented in the statements of operations have been computed as described above. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001, basic earnings per share equals diluted earnings per share due to the net loss for the year.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        All of the Company's sales and the majority of its purchases have been denominated in U.S. dollars. However, in the past the Company's wafer purchases have been denominated in Japanese yen. The Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge this foreign currency exposure. There were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at January 31, 2001. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at January 31, 2000 totaled $18.0 million. The Company does not enter into speculative foreign exchange contracts to profit on exchange rate fluctuations.

6. OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES

        The Company had entered into various capital leases, including transactions to finance purchases of property, plant and equipment, software and masks. Obligations under capital leases represent the present value of future payments under the equipment lease agreements. As of January 31, 2001 the

39



Company had no equipment under capital leases. As of January 31, 2000 the Company had equipment under capital leases of $46,000 with associative accumulated depreciation of $28,000. Under the terms of the lease agreements, warrants to purchase the Company's common stock were granted as described in Note 8.

7. INCOME TAXES

        Income before taxes and the provision (benefit) for income taxes in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 consists of the following:

Year Ended January 31,

  2001
  2000

    $ (5,681 ) $ 6,006   $ 10,499

Deferred:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
  Federal   $ 200   $ 310   $ 5,640
  State         490     256
   
 
 
      200     800     5,896
   
 
 
Total provision (benefit) for income taxes   $ (5,481 ) $ 6,806   $ 16,395
   
 
 

        The tax benefit associated with dispositions from employee stock plans reduced taxes currently payable for fiscal 2001 and 2000 by $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

40



        The Company's income tax provision (benefit) differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the following:

  2000
  1999
 
(in thousands except percentages)

   
   
   
 
Pretax income (loss)   $ (13,896 ) $ 19,511   $ 47,597

Expected tax (benefit)     (4,864 )   6,829     16,659  
State taxes (net of federal benefit)     130     130     381  
Utilization of research and development tax credits     (1,000 )   (1,521 )   (1,239 )
Change in valuation allowance     (700 )   1,761      
Non-deductible amortization of deferred compensation     792     198     282  
Other     161     (591 )   312  
   
 
 
 
Provision for income taxes   $ (5,481 ) $ 6,806   $ 16,395  
   
 
 
 

        The valuation allowance of $1.1 million for the year ended January 31, 2001, is attributable to deferred tax assets from the acquisition costs of ACL which will not be deductible for several years. These acquisition costs include book versus tax temporary differences related to the acquired intangible assets of ACL. Sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of certain of these assets, and accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided. The valuation allowance decreased by $0.7 million in fiscal 2001 due to the disposal of the principal assets of the DVD product group for which deferred tax assets had originally been provided with a corresponding valuation allowance.

        Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Year Ended January 31,

  2001

Deferred tax assets:              
  Acquisition costs     1,443     2,255

Valuation allowance     (1,061 )   (1,761 )
   
 
 
Net deferred tax assets   $ 1,676   $ 1,876  
   
 
 

        A portion of the net deferred tax assets have been included in other current assets.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Warrants

        The Company granted warrants in connection with the acquisition of Associative Computing Ltd. in February 1999. The warrants are for the purchase of 100,000 shares of NeoMagic common stock at

41



an exercise price of $20 per share and are fully transferable. The warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part, for five years after February 1999, and the shares which will be issued upon the exercise of the warrants shall be freely tradable as of the date of exercise, except that commencing February 1999 warrants to purchase 50,000 shares are subject to a six month lock-up period, and 50,000 shares are subject to a one year lock-up period. As of January 31, 2001, none of these warrants were exercised.

Stock Plan

        In accordance with the 1993 Stock Plan (the "Plan") the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights to employees, consultants and directors. The Company reserved 7,775,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. In June 1998, an additional 875,000 shares were approved by the Shareholders of the Company at the Annual Shareholders meeting, and in June 1999 an additional 875,000 shares were approved by the Shareholders of the Company at the Annual Shareholder meeting, bringing the total reserved under the Plan to 9,525,000 shares. Unless terminated sooner, the Plan will terminate automatically in December 2003. The Board of Directors determines vesting provisions for stock purchase rights and options granted under the Plan. Stock options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. In the event of voluntary or involuntary termination of employment with the Company for any reason, with or without cause, all unvested options are forfeited and all vested options must be exercised within a thirty-day period or they are forfeited. Certain of the options and stock purchase rights are exercisable immediately upon grant. However, common shares issued on exercise of options prior to vesting are subject to repurchase by the Company. As of January 31, 2001, no shares of common stock were subject to this repurchase provision. Other options granted under the Plan are exercisable during their term in accordance with the vesting schedules set out in the option agreement.

        Under the 1998 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors may grant nonstatutory stock options to employees, consultants and directors. The Company reserved 2,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. In May 1999 an additional 2,500,000 shares were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, bringing the total reserved under the plan to 5,000,000 shares. Unless terminated sooner, the plan will terminate automatically in June 2008.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        A total of 800,000 shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the 1997 Purchase Plan including 300,000 shares which were approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in September 2000. The 1997 Purchase Plan is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and has consecutive and overlapping twenty-four month offering periods that begin every six months. Each twenty-four month offering period includes four six-month purchase periods,

43



during which payroll deductions are accumulated and at the end of which, shares of common stock are purchased with a participant's accumulated payroll deductions. The 1997 Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of the employee's compensation. The price of common stock to be purchased under the 1997 Purchase Plan is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of the relevant purchase period.

        In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, 199,732, 189,279 and 117,679 shares, respectively of common stock at an average price of $2.55, $6.85 and $10.92 per share, respectively, were issued under the 1997 Purchase Plan. Shares available for purchase under the Purchase Plan were 257,323 at January 31, 2001.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock awards because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation is recognized.

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options.

        In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a dividend yield of 0% and the following additional weighted-average assumptions:

 
   
   
   
  Employee Stock
Purchase Plan

 
 
  Employee Option Plans
 
Year Ended January 31,

 
  2001
  2000
  1999
  2001
  2000
  1999
 
Risk-free interest rates   6.0 % 5.9 % 4.8 % 5.8 % 5.7 % 5.4 %
Volatility   .71   .70   .65   .92   .87   .70  
Expected life of option in years   5.0   5.0   5.0   .69   .94   1.01  

        Had compensation costs been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123, the Company's fiscal 2001 net loss and loss per share would have increased by approximately $6.3 million, or $0.24 per share. The Company's fiscal 2000 net income and earnings per share would have decreased by approximately $7.5 million, or $0.30 per share and $0.29 per share for basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. The Company's fiscal 1999 net income and earnings per share would have decreased

44



by approximately $8.9 million, or $0.38 per share and $0.34 per share for basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the option's vesting period and stock purchased under the 1997 Purchase Plan is amortized over the six month purchase period. The effects on pro forma disclosure of applying SFAS 123 are not likely to be representative of the effects on pro forma disclosure of future years.

        The weighted average fair value of options granted during fiscal 2001 with exercise prices less than the market price at the date of grant is $3.30 per share. There were no options granted during fiscal 2000 or fiscal 1999 with an exercise price less than the market price at the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of options granted during fiscal 2001, 2000, 1999 with exercise prices equal to the market price at the date of grant is $3.71, $8.28, and $13.40 per share, respectively.

Deferred Stock Compensation

        In connection with the grant of certain stock options to employees in fiscal 2001, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of $6,386,000 for the difference between the fair value of common stock at the date of grant and the option exercise price. The fiscal 2001 amount is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity and is amortized ratably over the vesting period of the related options. In fiscal 2001 the Company also recorded deferred stock compensation of $395,000 in connection with its employee stock purchase plan. In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, $1,687,000, $123,000 and $230,000, respectively were recorded as reductions to deferred stock compensation to reflect the unamortized portion of deferred stock compensation related to the cancellation of options upon employee terminations.

9. SAVINGS PLAN

        The Company maintains a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, employees may contribute up to 20% of their pre-tax salaries per year, but not more than the statutory limits. In April 1998, the Company initiated a matching program whereby the Company contributes $0.20 for every dollar the employee contributes to the plan up to the first 6% of earnings. In April 1999, the Company contribution was increased to $0.30 for every dollar the employee contributes to the plan up to the first 6% of earnings. The Company made matching contributions to employees of $141,000, $254,000 and $128,000 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

        In May 1996, the Company moved its principal headquarters to a new facility in Santa Clara, California, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires in April 2003. In January 1998, the Company entered into a second non-cancelable operating lease for the building adjacent to its principal headquarters. This lease has a co-terminous provision with the original lease expiring in April 2003. The Company leases offices in India, Israel and New Jersey under operating leases that expire at

45



various times through April 2003. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases as of January 31, 2001 are as follows:

Fiscal year ending January 31:

   
(in thousands)

   
2002   $ 2,144
2003     2,624
2004     851
2005     0
2006     0
   
Total minimum lease payments   $ 5,619
   

        Rent expense under operating leases was $2,298,000, $2,421,000, and $2,004,000 in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

        In January 1998, the Company signed a sublease agreement. The sublease was terminated in March 1999. Rent income related to this sublease agreement was $92,000 and $458,000 in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively.

        In November 1999, the Company signed an additional sublease agreement. The sublease was terminated in October 2000. Rent income related to this sublease agreement was $163,000 and $36,000 in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively.

        In November 2000, the Company signed an additional sublease agreement. Rent income related to this sublease agreement was $725,000 in fiscal 2001. As of January 31, 2001, future minimum rents to be received under sublease total $911,000 and $153,000 in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, respectively.

        At January 31, 2001, the Company had no outstanding purchase orders with its manufacturing partners for the delivery of wafers. In January 2001 the Company signed an extension of its wafer supply agreement with Infineon Technologies. In connection with that agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase fifty thousand wafers before February 27, 2004. To secure this agreement, the Company opened an irrevocable standby letter of credit (LOC) in the amount of $15 million in February 2001. The Company has secured the LOC with a $15 million deposit at the issuing bank. Beginning in fiscal 2002, these funds will be shown on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash until the letter of credit expires in fiscal 2004. Infineon is entitled to withdraw any remaining balance prior to February 27, 2004 with thirty day written notice that the LOC will not be renewed beyond its expiration date. Infineon shall be entitled to draw on the outstanding sum of the LOC on February 27, 2004. If there is no remaining sum because the amount has been reduced to zero by both parties mutual consent, then Infineon shall not be entitled to claim any payment under the LOC.

Contingencies

        As a general matter, the semiconductor industry is characterized by substantial litigation, regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In December 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Trident Microsystems, Inc. The suit alleges that Trident's embedded DRAM graphics accelerators infringe certain patents held by the

46



Company. In January 1999, Trident filed a counter claim against the Company alleging an attempted monopolization in violation of antitrust laws, arising from NeoMagic's filing of the patent infringement action against Trident in December. The Court has ruled that there is no infringement by Trident. Management disagrees with this ruling and is evaluating our legal options. Management also believes the Company has valid defenses against Trident's claims. There can be no assurance as to the results of the patent infringement suit and the counter-suit for antitrust filed by Trident.

11. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND EXPORT SALES

        In fiscal 2001 four customers accounted for 25.5%, 21.4%, 15.1% and 13.6%. In fiscal 2000 five customers accounted for 20.2%, 19.6%, 12.9%, 12.3% and 12.1%, respectively, of net sales. In fiscal 1999 three customers accounted for 19.8%, 17.1% and 10.5%, respectively, of net sales. Fiscal 2001 net sales to customers in Taiwan, Japan, and North America totaled 41.5%, 34.5% and 24.0%, respectively, of net sales. Net sales to customers in Taiwan, Japan, North America and Europe totaled 52.2%, 26.9%, 19.8% and 1.1%, respectively, of net sales in fiscal 2000 and 50.9%, 29.0%, 16.9% and 3.2%, respectively, of net sales in fiscal 1999.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        In March 2001, the Company reduced its workforce in the U.S. by 18 and in Israel by 25 to be more in-line with its plans for fiscal year 2002. The expected severance charge to be taken in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 is estimated to be approximately $600,000.
