ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

On January 25, 2005, DSP Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. A copy of the press release, dated January 25, 2005, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. This information, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

 

In addition to the disclosure of financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the press release also disclosed pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) figures, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The pro forma net income and diluted EPS figures disclosed in the press release for the fourth quarter of 2004 excluded the one-time write-off of in-process research and development related to the Company’s acquisition of the assets of Bermai Inc. of $2,682,000 and related tax benefit of $939,000. The pro forma net income and diluted EPS figures disclosed in the press release for the 2004 fiscal year excluded the capital gains resulting from the sale of all of the Company’s holdings in the AudioCodes Ltd. stock and the Tomen Corporation stock in the amount of $44,448,000 and related tax effect of $16,450,000. The fiscal year 2004 pro forma results also included a one-time write-off of in-process research and development related to the Bermai acquisition, as noted above, and a one-time impairment charge of $4,304,000 arising from the GAAP-required re-evaluation of the remaining goodwill from the acquisition of VoicePump Inc. in March 2000.

 

The Company believes that this pro forma presentation of net income and diluted EPS is useful to investors in analyzing the results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 because it excludes items that management does not consider meaningful for purposes of analyzing the Company’s operating results and making budget-planning decisions. In addition, the Company has historically reported similar pro forma financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in the Company’s financial reporting.
