Report of Independent Accountants

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of EiC Enterprises Limited

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EiC Enterprises Limited and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in accumulated deficit and of cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EiC Enterprises Limited and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES THOUSAND DOLLARS)

 

1.               HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

 

1)              EiC Enterprises Limited was incorporated in the British Bermuda Islands under “The International Business Companies Ordinance” in June, 1997. The Company is engaged in investment holding.

 

2)              Consolidated Subsidiaries

2.               SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1)              Basis of consolidation

 

The financial statements of subsidiaries in which the Company owns more than 50% of the subsidiaries’ shares are included in consolidations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

2)              Translation of foreign currency transactions

 

The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are maintained in their functional currencies. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies, except for forward contracts, are translated into their functional currencies at the rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. Receivables, other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their functional currencies at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in the current year’s net income.

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date for asset and liability accounts, average exchange rates for profit and loss accounts and historical exchange rates for equity accounts. The cumulative translation effects for subsidiaries using functional currencies other than the United States dollar are included in the cumulative translation adjustment in stockholders’ equity.

 

5



 

3)              Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investment, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with maturity dates that do not present significant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

 

4)              Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities are recorded at cost when acquired. The carrying amount of the marketable securities portfolio is stated at the lower of its aggregate cost or market value at the balance sheet date.

 

5)              Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method.

 

6)              Long-term investments

 

Long-term investments are accounted for at the lower of cost or market value for listed companies and at cost for unlisted companies if the Company holds an interest of less than 20% and have no significant influence on operational decisions of the investee company. The unrealized loss resulting from the decline in market value of such investment is deducted from stockholders’ equity. When it becomes evidently clear that there has been a permanent impairment in value and the chance of recovery is minimal, loss is recognized in current year’s net income or loss.

 

Long-term investments in both listed and unlisted companies are accounted for under the equity method if the Company holds an interest of at least 20%, unless the Company cannot exercise significant influence over the investee company, in which case, the investment is accounted for at cost. Unrealized intercompany gains and loss are eliminated under the equity method.

 

The exchange difference arising from foreign long-term investments is included in the Company’s equity account as “Cumulative Translation Adjustment”.

 

7)              Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term of the respective assets.

 

8)              Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets are based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

6



 

9)              Income tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statements reported amounts, and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain.

 

10)        Revenue recognition

 

Foundry/consulting services revenues are recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered and collection is probable. Payments received before services are rendered are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue from product sales to customers, other than to distributors with rights of return, is recognized upon shipment if a signed purchase order exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivables is considered probable and product returns can be reasonably estimated. Subsequent to the sales of the products, the Company has no obligation to provide modification or customization, upgrades, enhancements or any post contract customer support. Revenue from shipments to distributors with rights of return is deferred until the distributor resells the inventory. Upon shipment, the Company provides for the estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties.

 

11)        Management estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting period in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

8.               BORROWINGS

 

Notes payable

 

In July 2003, the Company obtained an equipment loan from a bank in the U.S. The credit facility allows for borrowing up to $1,000 and is collateralized by the equipment and machinery purchased under the loan by the Company.  The principal was repaid in equal installments beginning in August 2003 with final payment due in July 2005. The equipment loan bears interest at prime rate plus 1.5% (5.5% at December 31, 2003). At December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance under this equipment loan was $792 with current portion of $500.

 

Lines of credit

 

The Company maintains a line of credit with a bank in the U.S. The line of credit, renewed in September each year, provides for $1,000 in credit, bears interest at prime plus 1.5% (5.5% and 5.25% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively), and is collectivized by accounts receivable and inventories. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the outstanding balances under this line of credit were both $1,000.

 

Loan covenants

 

During the lives of these loans, the Company is required to maintain certain loan covenants, including current ratios, debt to equity ratios and net worth, and to pledge to the bank a demand deposit equivalent to 30% of loan outstanding balance. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company is required to maintain a demand deposit of $600 and $300 with the bank for the equipment loan and the line of credit, respectively.

10



 

authorized for grant to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Options under the plan must be granted with exercise prices less than 100% and 85% for incentive and non qualified stock options, respectively, of the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted to shareholders who own greater than 10% of the Company’s outstanding stock must be issued with exercise prices not less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. Options under the 1997 Plan generally becomes exercisable at a rate of at least 20% per year over four years from the date of the options are granted.
