NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.   The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Magma Design Automation, Inc. (“Magma” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to these rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2004. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on June 20, 2003. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2003 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Certain amounts in the fiscal 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2004 presentation.

 

Use of estimates

 

Preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as modified by SOP 98-9 “Modifications of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with respect to certain transactions”, SOP 97-2, as modified, generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer support (“PCS”), installation, and training to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on evidence that is specific to the vendor. If evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of a license agreement and PCS is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license agreement is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred, and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. Revenue from licenses that include a right to specified upgrades is deferred until the upgrades are delivered.

 

The Company’s standard license agreement includes PCS for a specified period of time for its software products. Through June 30, 2001, the Company bundled PCS into its agreements for the entire license term; therefore, vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value did not exist for each element of the arrangement. Accordingly, revenue from all license agreements entered into through June 30, 2001, has been recognized ratably over the contract term after delivery of the product to the customer, provided that there are no uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and the Company has no remaining obligations other than the delivery of PCS. If an arrangement involves extended payment terms, revenue is recognized to the extent of the lesser of the portion of the fee presently due and payable or the ratable portion of the entire fee. The Company considers arrangements where less than 100% of the license, services and initial period PCS fee is due within one year of the agreement date to have extended payment terms. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue being recognized are presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

In addition to continuing to offer time-based licenses bundled with PCS, beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2001, for its software products, the Company began offering time-based and perpetual licenses with PCS bundled for the first

Table of Contents

year of the license term. Thereafter, PCS can be renewed annually for an additional fee stated in the agreement. The Company uses the respective PCS renewal rate as evidence of fair value of PCS; therefore, where the only undelivered element is PCS, license revenue from these contracts is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of PCS is recognized over the PCS term and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized after the execution of a license agreement and the delivery of the product to the customer, provided that there are no uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and the Company has no remaining obligations other than the delivery of PCS. If an agreement involves extended payment terms, revenue recognized on the residual method is limited to amounts due and payable.

 

License revenue is comprised of software licenses and PCS where the Company does not have vendor specific evidence of fair value of PCS. Service revenue is comprised of PCS on licenses where the Company has vendor specific evidence of fair value of PCS, and consulting and training on all products. The Company has vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for consulting and training services. Therefore, revenue from such services is recognized when such services are performed. The consulting and training services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software. Our products are fully functional upon delivery of the product. Factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include, but are not limited to: Degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee.

 

Unbilled receivables

 

Unbilled receivables represent revenue that has been recognized in the financial statements in advance of being invoiced to the customer. The Company will invoice all of the unbilled receivable within one year. As of June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, unbilled receivables were approximately $8.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for each of these periods.

 

Commission Expense

 

The Company recognizes sales commission expense as it is earned by its employees. For orders recorded in fiscal year 2003, commissions are earned as revenue from the respective order is recognized. For orders recorded in fiscal year 2004, commissions are earned as amounts are paid to employees. These payments are spread evenly over two to six quarters, depending on the size of the respective orders. Commissions advanced to employees under the fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003 compensation plans, in excess of amounts earned and which are considered recoverable, are reflected as prepaid expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Net prepaid commissions on orders received during fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, totaled $3.9 million at June 30, 2003 and $0.6 million at March 31, 2003.

 

Trade accounts receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, current market trends and for larger accounts, the ability to pay outstanding balances. When revenue is recognized, the Company has assessed the resultant accounts receivable as collectible. Thereafter, the Company reviews whether the accounts receivable is collectible and the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful account. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for probability of collection. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Strategic investments

 

The Company invests in debt and equity of private companies as part of its business strategy. The investments are carried at cost and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline exists in the fair value of an investment, the Company writes down the investment to its fair value and records the related write-down as an investment loss in other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company wrote down two of its strategic investments by $753,000. At June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, the carrying value of the strategic investments was $174,000 and $927,000.

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Deferred compensation is recorded on the date of grant if the exercise price of the stock award is less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Deferred compensation is expensed on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the stock award.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS 148”), an Amendment of FASB Statement 123”. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for companies making a voluntary change to fair value-based accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002, SFAS 148 also requires disclosure of pro-forma results on a quarterly basis as if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensations”.

 

As the exercise price of all options granted under 1997, 1998 and 2001 stock incentive plans (“The Plans”) was equal to the market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date, no stock-based employee compensation cost, other than acquisition-related compensation, is recognized in net income, except as disclosed in Note 7, “Promissory Note.” The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, as amended, to employee options granted under the stock option plans and under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, collectively called “options.” For purposes of this pro-forma disclosure, the estimated value of the options is amortized ratably to expense over the options’ vesting periods. Because the estimated value is determined as of the date of grant, the actual value ultimately realized by the employee may be significantly different.

The weighted average fair value per option at the date of grant for options granted to employees during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, was $7.29 and $12.69, respectively. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate the fair value of options at the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Included in other non-current assets and current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003 is restricted cash of $517,000 for both periods, to support letters of credit as security deposits on leased facilities. The deposits are required for the three-year and five-year terms of the leases. Restricted cash is included in other assets or other current assets based on the expected term for the release of the restriction.

 

Foreign currency

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency of the subsidiary as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the current rates of exchange at the applicable balance sheet date, and revenue and expense items are translated using average exchange rates during the period.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2002, the FASB, issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method

used on reported results. The annual disclosure provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of this standard in fiscal 2003 and the adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). For guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, a liability shall be recognized for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. See Note 7 for disclosures required by FIN 45. In June 2003, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position, which indicated that indemnification clauses in software agreements related to intellectual property infringement are subject to disclosure requirements of FIN 45, but not the initial recognition or measurement provisions. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest activities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted FIN 46 on February 1, 2003 for new entities, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting FIN 46 for pre-existing entities, but the Company does not expect it will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). The statement requires the issuer to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) three classes of freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer. Generally, the statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 150 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2. Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

 

The Company computes net income per share in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method and preferred stock using the as-if-converted method.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares used to calculate basic net income per share to the weighted average common and potential common shares used to calculate diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

The weighted-average exercise price of such shares was $19.501 for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Note 3. Contingency

 

On February 6, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to settle a lawsuit initially filed in Santa Clara County, California Superior Court in August of 2001 by Prolific, Inc. The settlement agreement provided for two installment payments by the Company in the aggregate amount of $1.85 million. The first payment of $0.925 million was made in February 2003 and the second payment of $0.925 million was made in July 2003. The second payment of $0.925 million was accrued as of March 31, 2003. There are no continuing obligations by the parties to each other.

 

From time to time, we are involved in other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The number and significance of these disputes is increasing as our business expands and our company grows larger. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. As a result, these disputes could harm our business.

 

Note 4. Segment Information

 

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, which requires the reporting of segment information using the “management approach.” Under this approach, operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Based on this approach, the Company has one reportable segment as the COO reviews financial information on a basis consistent with that presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 5. Restructuring charge

 

The Company incurred restructuring charges in the third quarter ended December 31, 2002 in the amount of $0.7 million related to employee termination costs of 32 technical, sales, marketing and administrative employees. As of June 30, 2003, all 32 employees were terminated and the Company paid $0.6 million in termination costs. As of June 30, 2003, $85,000 relating to the remaining termination costs is included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that the remaining termination costs will be substantially paid in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

Note 6. Asset Purchase of VeraTest, Inc.

 

On November 1, 2002, the Company completed an acquisition of VeraTest, Inc., a private California corporation (“VeraTest”), primarily for the purpose of acquiring VeraTest’s chip design verification software.

 

The Company previously acquired 18.0% of VeraTest, Inc. on April 10, 2002 for $0.2 million, which was charged to research and development. On November 1, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding common stock held by certain shareholders for approximately $1.57 million in cash, including the cancellation of indebtedness of $0.3 million of certain VeraTest stockholders to the Company. The Company accounted for this acquisition as an asset purchase. The purchase price was allocated to capitalized software, which has an estimated life of three years.

 

Under SFAS 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or otherwise Marketed”, amortization is based on the greater of the ratio of current gross revenues of the related product to current and anticipated future gross revenues or on a straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life. As of June 30, 2003, the Company amortized $0.35 million of the value of the capitalized software on a pro-rated straight-line basis and the remaining unamortized balance of $1.22 million is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003.

 

In connection with the November acquisition, the Company entered into an earn out arrangement and employment and consulting agreements with the former VeraTest common stockholders. Under the terms of the earn out arrangement, these individuals have the right to receive 272,998 shares of Company common stock upon the completion of certain milestones. Of these shares of common stock, 171,646 shares were placed in escrow and will be released upon completion of three milestone achievements: 20% for completion of the first milestone (no later than December 15, 2002), 40% for completion of the second milestone (no later than September 15, 2003), and 40% for the completion of the third milestone (no later than September 15, 2004). The remaining 101,352 shares were issued pursuant to a restricted stock grant and will vest on the same basis as the shares placed in escrow. The milestones are based upon testing and integration of certain current features, as well as the development of additional working features of the software tool. If it is determined that any milestone has not been attained, the shares will be cancelled. The first milestone was completed on November 30, 2002. The Company expects that the remaining milestones will be met and accordingly has remeasured the value of the contingent consideration at June 30, 2003 and recorded $1.5 million in additional expense.

 

Note 7. Promissory Note

 

In October 2001, Roy E. Jewell, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, exercised options to purchase 428,570 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share by executing a full recourse promissory note of

approximately $4.5 million bearing interest of 5.5% per annum and due in March 2006. The provisions of the note agreement allowed for forgiveness of $2.7 million related to principal due under the note and $373,000 related total interest to maturity over the five-year term of the note. As of March 2003, the Company had forgiven approximately $1.1 million of the note. On May 14, 2003, the Company repurchased 209,753 shares of common stock from Mr. Jewell for an aggregate purchase price of $3.6 million, or $17.00 per share, which was the closing sale price of the common stock on that date, and Mr. Jewell repaid his indebtedness to the Company in the same amount. On that date, the Company also granted Mr. Jewell an option to purchase 297,393 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The first 209,753 shares vest immediately and the remaining 87,640 shares vest in equal monthly installments through March 5, 2005. In connection with the grant of the option, the Company recognized approximately $2.1 million of deferred stock-based compensation for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. In addition, the Company has recognized $0.9 million in deferred compensation, which will be amortized over the vesting period of 22 months. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company expensed $0.3 million of stock-based compensation with $0.6 million remaining balance to be expensed.

 

Note 8. Convertible Subordinated Notes

 

On May 22, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $150.0 million principal amount of Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2008 (the “Notes”) to qualified buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $145.2 million. The Notes do not bear coupon interest and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $22.86 per share, for an aggregate of 6,561,680 shares. The Notes are subordinated to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to their maturity date. The Company paid approximately $4.5 million in transaction fees to the underwriters of the offering and approximately $0.3 million in other debt issuance costs. The Company is amortizing the transaction fee and issuance costs over the life of the notes using the interest-rate method. As of June 30, 2003, approximately $0.1 million of transaction fees have been amortized. The shares issuable on the conversion of the Notes are included in “fully diluted shares outstanding” under the as-if-converted method of accounting for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

 

In order to minimize the dilutive effect from the issuance of the Notes, the Company undertook the following additional transactions concurrent with the issuance of the Notes:

 

    The Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock at a price of $18.00 per share, or approximately $20.0 million, from one of the initial purchasers of the Notes, and those shares were retired as of May 30, 2003.

 

    The Company and Credit Suisse First Boston International (“CSFB International”) entered into convertible bond hedge and warrant transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock, the exposure for which is held by CSFB International. Under the convertible bond hedge arrangement, CSFB International agreed to sell to the Company, for $22.86 per share, up to 6,561,680 shares of Magma common stock to cover the Company’s obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the Notes. In addition, the Company issued CSFB International a warrant to purchase up to 6,561,680 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $31.50 per share. Purchases and sales under this arrangement may be made only upon expiration of the Notes or their earlier conversion (to the extent thereof). Both transactions may be settled at the Company’s option either in cash or net shares, and will expire on the earlier of a conversion event or the maturity of the convertible debt on May 15, 2008. The transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the notes. The net cost incurred in connection with these arrangements was approximately $20.3 million, which is presented in shareholder’s equity as a reduction of additional paid in capital, in accordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” That net cost consists of the $56.2 million cost of the convertible bond hedge, offset in part by the $35.9 million proceeds from the issuance of the warrant.

Note 10. Subsequent Event

 

On June 10, 2003, the Company entered an agreement (the “Aplus Agreement) to acquire Aplus Technologies Inc. (“Aplus”). Aplus designs and develops physical synthesis and physical prototyping solutions for programmable devices. The Company expects an increase in the number of embedded programmable devices on large ASIC devices and that the integration of the Aplus technology with Magma tools will allow the customers to address these embedded programmable devices in a single tool flow. The transaction was completed on July 1, 2003 and the results of operations from Aplus will be included in Magma’s results of operations thereafter.

 

In accordance with the Aplus Agreement, the Company will issue up to 1,079,420 shares of Magma common stock and may make up to $4.5 million in cash payments, if all the earn-out milestones set forth in the Aplus Agreement are achieved. The purchase price was determined to be approximately $23.1 million, based on the price per share of Magma common stock at the closing of the acquisition. At the closing, the Company paid approximately $1.0 million in cash and issued 321,128 shares of Magma common stock. The $1.0 million paid in cash included $360,000 in transaction fees and $656,000 to Aplus shareholders. In addition, $313,000 was placed in an escrow account to secure certain indemnification obligations of Aplus. The remaining balance of the purchase consideration is payable pursuant to earn-out arrangements under which an additional 5% of the total merger consideration will be payable based upon Aplus bookings in fiscal 2004, 35% will be payable upon completion of certain technology milestones, and 30% will be payable based on operating income targets for fiscal year 2005. Upon achievement of the milestones, the Company will recognize a higher purchase price equal to the fair value of the cash paid and the Magma common stock issued to Aplus shareholders on the date the milestones are achieved.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section should be read in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our condensed consolidated financial statements “Management Discussion and Analysis” and results appearing elsewhere in this report. Throughout the Management’s Discussion section, we make forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. You can often identify these and other forward looking statements by terms such as “becoming,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts”, “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” or using negative of such words, or comparable terminology. These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, our expectations about revenue and various operating expenses. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, and we have based these expectations on our beliefs and assumptions, such expectations may prove to be incorrect. Our actual results of operations and financial performance could differ significantly from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: increasing competition in the electronic design automation market; the continuing impact of the economic recession; the recent impact of SARS on business activities in Asia; effects that terrorist activities or events in the Middle East may have on Magma, its customers and industry; any delay of customer orders or failure of customers to renew licenses; weaker-than-anticipated sales of Magma’s products and services; weakness in the semiconductor or electronic systems industries; the ability to successfully manage Magma’s expanding operations; the ability to attract and retain the key management and technical personnel needed to operate Magma successfully; the ability to continue to deliver competitive products to customers to help them get their products to market; and changes in accounting rules.

 

Overview

 

We provide design and implementation software that enables chip designers to reduce the time it takes to design and produce complex integrated circuits used in the communications, computing, consumer electronics, networking and semiconductor industries. Our products are used in all major phases of the chip development cycle, from initial design through physical implementation.

 

An important technical foundation of our software products is our patented FixedTiming methodology, which allows our customers to reduce iterations that are often required in conventional integrated circuit design processes. Our single data model architecture is a key enabler for this methodology and for our ability to deliver automated signal integrity detection and correction. It contains logical and physical information about the design and is resident in core memory during execution, which makes it possible to analyze the design and make rapid tradeoff decisions during the physical design process.

 

Our software products enable chip designers to meet critical time-to-market objectives, improve chip performance and handle chip designs involving millions of components. Blast Create enables logic designers to visualize, evaluate and improve code quality, design constraints, testability and analysis. Blast Create, Blast Fusion and Blast Fusion APX combine into one integrated chip design flow what traditionally had been separate logic design and physical design processes. Our integrated flow significantly reduces timing closure iterations, allowing our customers to accelerate the time it takes to design and produce deep submicron integrated circuits. Blast Plan enables hierarchical planning and partitioning of a design into blocks that can be designed separately and later combined into a complex chip or system-on-a-chip. Blast Noise detects and corrects signal interference, or crosstalk, in physical designs. Blast Rail detects and corrects power distribution and optimization within physical design flow.

 

We provide consulting, training and services to help our customers more rapidly adopt our technology. In the past, we have provided integrated circuit design services including assisting our customers in the utilization of our products for complex chip design challenges. However, beginning in December 2002, we have largely withdrawn from the sale of design services. We also provide post-contract support, or maintenance, for our products.

 

On July 1, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Aplus Design Technologies, Inc. Aplus designs and develops physical synthesis and physical prototyping solutions for programmable devices. In accordance with the agreement, we will issue up to 1,079,420 shares of Magma common stock and will make up to $4.5 million in cash payments between the closing and fiscal year 2005, if all the earn-out milestones set forth in the Aplus Agreement are achieved.

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1997. Our principal executive offices are located at 2 Results Way, Cupertino, California 95014 and our telephone number is (408) 864-2000.

 

Sources of Revenue

 

We generate revenue from two sources: software licenses and services. We derive software license revenue primarily

 

13


Table of Contents

from our design and implementation software products, which include Blast Fusion, Blast Fusion APX, Blast Plan, Blast Noise, and most recently Blast Rail and Blast Create which were introduced in Q4 fiscal year 2003.

 

We derive services revenue primarily from consulting, training and maintenance for our software products.

 

Our standard license agreements include maintenance. Our perpetual license agreements and our time-based unbundled license agreements generally include maintenance for a one-year period.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We consider the following accounting policies related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, investments, deferred taxes and valuation of long-lived assets to be critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, as modified by SOP 98-9, which generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements such as software products, upgrades, enhancements, maintenance, installation and training to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on evidence that is specific to the vendor. If evidence of fair value does not exist for all elements of a license agreement and maintenance is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license arrangement is recognized over the term of the agreement. If evidence of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but evidence does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred until the delivery of the element and the remaining portion of the license fee is recognized as revenue.

 

License revenue

 

We derive license revenue primarily from our design and implementation software and, to a much lesser extent, from our analysis and verification products. We license our products under time-based and perpetual licenses.

 

We recognize license revenue after the execution of a license agreement and the delivery of the product to the customer, provided that there are no uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable and there are no remaining obligations other than maintenance. For licenses where we have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value, or VSOE, for maintenance, we recognize license revenue using the residual method. For these licenses, license revenue is recognized in the period in which the license agreement is executed assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. For licenses where we have no VSOE for maintenance, we recognize license revenue ratably over the maintenance period, or if extended payment terms exist, based on the lower of amounts due and payable or ratably over the contract period.

 

For transactions in which we bundle maintenance for the entire license term into a time-based license agreement, no VSOE of fair value exists for each element of the arrangement. For these agreements, where the only undelivered element is maintenance, we recognize revenue ratably over the contract term. If an arrangement involves extended payment terms—that is, where less than 100% of the license, services and initial post contract support (“PCS”) is due in one year from the contract date—we recognize revenue to the extent of the lesser of the portion of the amount presently due and payable or the ratable portion of the entire fee.

 

For our perpetual licenses and some time-based license arrangements, we unbundle maintenance, by including maintenance for up to first year of the license term, with maintenance renewable by the customer at the rate stated in their agreements with us. In these unbundled licenses, the aggregate renewal period is greater than or equal to the initial maintenance period. The stated rate for maintenance renewal in these contracts is VSOE of the fair value of maintenance in both our unbundled time-based and perpetual licenses. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we changed our business practice for pricing of maintenance renewals from a fixed percentage of annual list price to a fixed percentage of the annual net license fee. We believe these new pricing policies better reflect the underlying economics of our software license agreements we enter into larger scale license arrangements

Table of Contents

with our customers, which include substantial discounts from our list prices. Where the only undelivered element is maintenance, we recognize license revenue using the residual method. If an arrangement involves extended payment terms, revenue recognized using the residual method is limited to amounts due and payable.

 

Services revenue

 

We derive services revenue primarily from consulting and training for our software products and from maintenance fees for our products. Most of our license agreements include maintenance, generally for a one-year period, renewable annually. Services revenue from maintenance arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the maintenance term. Because we have VSOE of fair value for consulting and training services, revenue is recognized as these services are performed or completed. Our consulting and training services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software. Our products are fully functional upon delivery of the product. Factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include, but are not limited to: Degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly review the adequacy of our accounts receivable allowance after considering the size of the accounts receivable balance, each customer’s expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review significant invoices that are past due to determine if an allowance is appropriate using the factors described above. We also monitor our accounts receivable for concentration to any one customer, industry or geographic region.

 

To date our receivables have not had any particular concentrations that, if not collected, would have a significant impact on our operating income. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate, but changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future.

 

Investments

 

We invest in debt and equity of privately held technology companies for business and strategic purposes. These companies are typically in the early stage of development and are expected to incur substantial losses in the near-term. Therefore, these companies may never become publicly traded. Even if they do, an active trading market for their securities may never develop and we may never realize any return on these investments. Further, if these companies are not successful, we could incur charges related to write-downs or write-offs of these investments.

 

We review the assumptions underlying the operating performance and cash flow forecasts based on information requested from these privately held companies on at least a quarterly basis. Assessing each investment’s carrying value requires significant judgment by management. If we determine that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value exists in a strategic investment, we write-down the investment to its fair value and record the related expense in other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we determined that the decline in value of certain strategic investments was other-than-temporary and recorded write-downs of these investments totaling $753,000. The carrying value of the strategic investment at June 30, 2003 was $174,000.

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” We assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. However, adjustments could be required in the future if we determine that the amount to be realized is greater or less than the amount we have recorded.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Intangible Assets

 

As we acquire intangible assets through acquisitions, we will review long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Asset” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the fair value of the underlying business or asset, a significant decrease in the benefits realized

Revenue

 

Revenue increased 26%, from $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 due to an increase in license revenue. Of the $22.8 million of revenue recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, approximately 75% represents revenue recognized from orders signed before fiscal year 2004 and approximately 25% represents revenue recognized from new orders signed in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in revenue is due to sales to new customers and sales of additional licenses, and new products to our existing customers. Our revenue consists of perpetual, bundled and unbundled time-based license agreements. Certain significant contracts with extended payment terms entered into in recent quarters provide for payments, which are weighted towards the latter part of the contract term. Accordingly, if the payment terms are extended, the revenue from these contracts is recognized as amounts become due and payable. Revenue recognized under these arrangements will be higher in the latter part of the contract term. Our ability to recognize revenue in the future on contracts with extended payment terms will be subject to the customer’s continuing credit-worthiness. Although we plan to enter into both bundled and unbundled time-based license agreements and perpetual license agreements in the future, we expect to derive the majority of our revenue in the foreseeable future from unbundled time-based license agreements.

 

License revenue

 

License revenue increased 53%, from $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to increased license revenue from our design and implementation software products, specifically from the introduction of Blast Fusion APX as well as from existing products,

 

16


Table of Contents

such as Blast Fusion, Blast Plan and Blast Noise and to a lesser extent from new products (Blast Create and Blast RTL). We expect license revenue to increase absolute dollars, but to remain flat or slightly decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

 

Services revenue

 

Services revenue decreased 52%, from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily from fewer new customer design services engagements. We have withdrawn from the sale of design services, except when we pass those sales on to approved third party design centers. We expect service revenue to increase in absolute dollars, but to remain flat or slightly increase as a percentage of total revenue.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of cost of maintenance revenue and, to a lesser extent, cost of consulting services for our design and implementation software products. Cost of revenue consists primarily of salary and related costs for engineers associated with technical services, including quality assurance, and cost of engineers associated with post-contract customer support and consulting services. Cost of revenue increased in absolute dollars from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, or 16% of total revenue to $3.2 million or 14% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2003. This increase in absolute dollars is primarily due to costs associated with additional support personnel required by our expanding customer base. Although we expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars and that these costs will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue, our objective is to reduce these costs as a percentage of total revenue.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits of engineering personnel, depreciation of engineering equipment, and outside engineering services from contractors and consultants. Research and development decreased from $5.3 million, or 30% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $5.0 million, or 22% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily due to professional services decreasing by $0.4 million. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 we recorded an expense of $0.2 million in connection with the write-down of an investment related to in process research and development. These decreases were offset by an increase in net payroll related expenses of $0.3 million. Although we expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars and that these expenses will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue, our objective is to reduce these expenses as a percentage of total revenue over time.

 

Sales and marketing

 

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries, sales commissions, bonuses, benefits and related costs of sales and marketing personnel, trade shows and other marketing activities. Sales and marketing expense increased in absolute dollars from $6.0 million, or 33%, of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $7.1 million, or 31%, of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The increase of $1.1 million was due to increases in net payroll related expenses of $0.9 million from additional personnel and commission expense, office and facility expenses of $0.1 million, $0.1 million paid in outside commissions, and $0.1 million in travel expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million related to a reversal of value added tax expenses. Although we expect sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars and that these expenses will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue, our objective is to reduce these expenses as a percentage of total revenue over time.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, bonuses, benefits and related costs of finance and administrative personnel and outside service expenses including legal, accounting and recruiting services. General and administrative expense increased from $2.2 million, or 12%, of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $2.4 million, or 11%, of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The net three-month increase of $0.2 million was attributable to: an increase of $0.6 million in payroll related expenses due to an increase in headcount; an increase of $0.2 million in office and related expenses; and an increase of $0.1 million in travel expenses. These increases were partially offset by the following decreases: professional services decreased by $0.2 million; bad debt expense decreased by $0.3 million; and depreciation decreased by $0.2 million. Although we expect general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars and that these expenses will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue, our objective is to reduce these expenses as a percentage of total revenue over time.

Amortization of stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation expense consists of the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation resulting from the grant of stock options at exercise prices less than the fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date for officers and employees and the fair value of the stock options granted to consultants and other non-employees. The options granted to officers and employees generally vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then ratably over the remaining 36 months. Amortization of stock-based compensation was $4.0 million or 17% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $1.9 million or 10% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, stock-based compensation included $1.5 million of expense related to the acquisition of VeraTest and $2.4 million related to the stock grant issued to Mr. Jewell.

 

Other Income (Expense), Net

 

Interest income (expense), net was ($0.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, interest income was $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Interest expense increased from $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense included the amortization of the transaction fee related to our $150 million convertible subordinated note. Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $0.8 million and $0, respectively. Other income (expense) included an impairment charge of $0.8 million related to two of our strategic investments.

 

Income Taxes

 

From inception through June 30, 2003, we incurred a cumulative net loss for federal and state tax purposes. We are in a net deferred tax asset position, which has been fully reserved. We will continue to provide a valuation allowance for our net deferred tax asset until it becomes more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realizable. For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we had a provision for income taxes of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the tax provision of $0.7 included $0.3 million for foreign income taxes, $0.2 million for federal income taxes, and $0.2 million for state income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, foreign income taxes were $0.1 and state income taxes were $0.1.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2003, cash and cash equivalents were $122.2 million, and working capital was $131.3 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to net cash used of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, cash flow from operating activities included increases in deferred revenue of $3.2 million and accrued expenses of $0.9 million. These increases were offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $3.0 million and prepaid expenses of $4.9 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, cash flow from activities included increases in accounts receivable of $1.4 million and accounts payable of $0.9 million. These increases were offset by decreases in prepaid expenses of $0.4 million, accrued expenses of $3.5 million, and deferred revenue of $3.2 million. In addition, significant non-cash related adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 included depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, amortization of stock-based compensation of $4.0 million and $1.9 million and provisions for doubtful accounts of $45,000 and $300,000.

 

Net cash used by investing activities was $55.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to net cash provided of $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Of the cash used by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2003, $55.0 million was used for the purchase of investments, $0.8 million was used for purchases of property and equipment and $0.2 million was provided from other assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, $13.5 million cash was provided from proceeds from sales of investments offset by purchases of property and equipment of $1.3 million and $0.4 million was used for purchases of other assets.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $110.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2003 consisted of net proceeds from convertible subordinated notes of $145.2 million and cash received from exercises of stock options of $5.6 million. In addition, we repurchased 1,110,000 shares at $18 per share for an aggregate amount of $20.2 million. We also

used $56.2 million for the purchase of a hedge and sold a warrant for $35.9 million related to our issuance of convertible subordinated notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, cash provided of $1.3 million was due to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

On May 22, 2003, we completed an offering of our $150.0 million principal amount of Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2008 to qualified buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, resulting in net proceeds to Magma of approximately $145.2 million. The notes do not bear coupon interest and are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $22.86 per share, for an aggregate of 6,561,680 shares. The notes are subordinated to Magma’s existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. Magma may not redeem the notes prior to their maturity date. We paid approximately $4.5 million in fees to the underwriters of the offering and approximately $0.3 million in other debt issuance costs. We are amortizing the transaction fees and issuance costs over the life of the notes using the interest-rate method. As of June 30, 2003, approximately $0.1 million of the transaction fees have been amortized. The shares issuable on the conversion of the notes are included in “fully diluted shares outstanding” under the as-if-converted method of accounting for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

 

In order to minimize the dilutive effect from the issuance of the notes, Magma entered into the following additional transactions concurrent with the issuance of the Notes:

 

    We repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock at a price of $18.00 per share, or approximately $20.0 million, from one of the initial purchasers of the notes, and those shares were retired as of May 30, 2003.

 

    We and CSFB International entered into convertible bond hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock, the exposure for which is held by CSFB International. Under the convertible bond hedge arrangement, CSFB International agreed to sell to us, for $22.86 per share, up to 6,561,680 shares of Magma common stock to cover our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the notes. In addition, we issued CSFB International a warrant to purchase up to 6,561,680 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $31.50 per share. Purchases and sales under this arrangement may be made only upon expiration of the notes or their earlier conversion (to the extent thereof). Both transactions may be settled at our option either in cash or net shares, and will expire on the earlier of a conversion event or the maturity of the convertible debt on May 15, 2008. The transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the notes. The net cost incurred in connection with these arrangements was approximately $20.3 million, which is presented in shareholder’s equity as a reduction of additional paid in capital, in accordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” That net cost consists of $56.2 million costs of the convertible bond hedge, offset in part by the $35.9 million proceeds from the issuance of the warrant.

 

As of June 30, 2003, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $122.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating and working capital expenditure requirements in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months. If we require additional capital resources to grow our business internally or to acquire complementary technologies and businesses at any time in the future, we may use cash or need to sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities may result in more dilution to our existing stockholders. Financing arrangements may not be available to us or may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

On July 1, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Aplus. In accordance with the Aplus acquisition agreement, we will issue up to 1,079,420 shares of Magma common stock and will make up to $4.5 million in cash payments, if all the earn-out milestones set forth in the Aplus Agreement are achieved. The purchase price was determined to be approximately $23.1 million, based on the price per share of Magma common stock at the closing of the acquisition. At the closing, we paid approximately $1.0 million in cash and issued 321,128 shares of Magma common stock. The $1.0 million paid in cash included $360,000 in transaction fees and $656,000 to Aplus shareholders. In addition, $313,000 was placed in an escrow account to secure certain indemnification obligations of Aplus. The remaining balance of the purchase consideration is payable pursuant to earn-out arrangements under which an additional 5% of the total merger consideration will be payable based upon Aplus bookings in fiscal 2004, 35% will be payable upon completion of certain technology milestones, and 30% will be payable based on operating income targets for fiscal year 2005. Upon achievement of the milestones, we will recognize a higher purchase price equal to the fair value of the cash paid and the Magma common stock issued to Aplus shareholders on the date the milestones are achieved.

 

Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Table of Contents

In December 2002, the FASB, issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The annual disclosure provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. We adopted the disclosure requirements of this standard in fiscal 2003 and the adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” For guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, a liability shall be recognized for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. See Note 7 for disclosures required by FIN 45. In June 2003, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position, which indicated that indemnification clauses in software agreements related to intellectual property infringement are subject to disclosure requirements of FIN 45, but not the initial recognition or measurement provisions. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on Magma’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest activities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. We adopted FIN 46 on February 1, 2003 for new entities, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting FIN 46 for pre-existing entities, but we do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” The statement requires the issuer to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) three classes of freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer. Generally, the statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period after June 15, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 150 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Our business faces many risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

 

We were incorporated in April 1997 and introduced our first principal software product, Blast Fusion, in April 1999. Our business model is still emerging, and the revenue and income potential of our business and market is unproven. We have a limited history of generating revenue from our software products. As a result of our short operating history, we have limited financial data that can be used to evaluate our business. Our software products represent a new approach to the challenges presented in the electronic design automation market, which to date has been dominated by established companies with longer operating histories. Key markets within the electronic design automation industry may fail to adopt our proprietary technologies and software products. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of our limited operating history and the risks and uncertainties often encountered by relatively young companies.

 

We have a history of losses prior to fiscal 2003 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $118.5 million as of June 30, 2003; if we do not increase profitability, our public stock-trading price would be likely to decline.

 

20


Table of Contents

We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $118.5 million as of June 30, 2003. Although we achieved profitability in fiscal 2003, we incurred losses in prior years. If we incur new losses, or do not increase profitability at a level expected by securities analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. If we incur net losses, we may not be able to maintain or increase our number of employees or our investment in capital equipment, sales, marketing, and research and development programs, and we may not be able to continue to operate.

 

Our quarterly results are difficult to predict, and if we miss quarterly financial expectations, our stock price could decline.

 

Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict, and fluctuate from quarter to quarter. It is likely that our operating results in some periods will be below investor expectations. If this happens, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. Fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results may be caused by many factors, including:

 

    size and timing of customer orders, which are received unevenly and unpredictably throughout a fiscal year;

 

    the mix of products licensed and types of license agreements;

 

    our ability to recognize revenue in a given quarter;

 

    timing of customer license payments;

 

    time-based license agreements with graduated payment schedules that reflect phased deployment of our software and lower relative payments in the first years;

 

    the relative mix of time-based licenses bundled with maintenance, unbundled time-based license agreements and perpetual license agreements, each of which has different revenue recognition practices;

 

    the relative mix of our license and services revenues;

 

    our ability to win new customers and retain existing customers;

 

    changes in our pricing and discounting practices and licensing terms and those of our competitors;

 

    changes in the level of our operating expenses, including increases in incentive compensation payments that may be associated with future revenue growth;

 

    changes in the interpretation of the authoritative literature under which we recognize revenue;

 

    the timing of product releases or upgrades by us or our competitors; and

 

    the integration, by us or our competitors, of newly-developed or acquired products.

 

Customer payment defaults may cause us to be unable to recognize revenue from backlog and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

As of June 30, 2003, we had approximately $190.0 million in backlog, which we define as non-cancelable contractual commitments by our customers, through purchase orders or contracts that have no contingencies other than our performance. We expect that we will ultimately be able to recognize this backlog as revenue. However, if a customer defaults and fails to pay amounts owed, we may not be able to recognize expected revenue from backlog. In the current economic environment it is possible that customers from whom we expect to derive revenue from backlog will default or that the level of defaults will increase. Any material payment default by our customers could reduce the amount of backlog we recognize as revenue and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle, and the large size of some orders, makes it difficult for us to forecast revenue and increases the magnitude of quarterly fluctuations, which could harm our stock price.

 

Customers for our software products typically commit significant resources to evaluate available software. The complexity of our products requires us to spend substantial time and effort to assist potential customers in evaluating our software and in benchmarking it against our competition. In addition, potential customers may be limited in their current spending by existing

Table of Contents

time-based licenses with their legacy vendors. In these cases, customers delay a significant new commitment to our software until the term of the existing license has expired. Also, because our products require a significant investment of time and cost by our customers, we must target those individuals within the customer’s organization who are able to make these decisions on behalf of their companies. These individuals tend to be senior management in an organization, typically at the vice president level. We may face difficulty identifying and establishing contact with such individuals. Even after initial acceptance, the negotiation and documentation processes can be lengthy. Our sales cycle typically ranges between three and nine months, but can be longer. Any delay in completing sales in a particular quarter could cause our operating results to fall below expectations.

 

We rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and our revenue could decline due to delays of customer orders or the failure of existing customers to renew licenses or if we are unable to maintain or develop relationships with current or potential customers.

 

Our business depends on sales to a small number of customers. In the three months ended June 30, 2003, we had three customers that each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue and that together accounted for approximately 42% of our revenue. In three months ended June 30, 2002, we had two customers that each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue and that together accounted for approximately 24% of our revenue.

 

We expect that we will continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. If we fail to successfully sell our products and services to one or more customers in any particular period, or a large customer purchases less of our products or services, defers orders, or fails to renew licenses, our business and operating results would be harmed.

 

Most of our customers license our software under time-based licensing agreements, with terms that typically vary from 15 months to 48 months. Most of our licensing agreements automatically expire at the end of the term unless the customer renews the license with us or purchases a perpetual license. If our customers do not renew their licenses, we may not be able to maintain our current revenue or may not generate additional revenue. Some of our licensing agreements allow customers to terminate an agreement prior to its expiration under limited circumstances—for example, if our products do not meet specified performance requirements or goals. If these agreements are terminated prior to expiration or we are unable to collect under these agreements, our revenue may decline.

 

Some contracts with extended payment terms provide for payments which are weighted toward the later part of the contract term. Accordingly, as the payment terms are extended, the revenue from these contracts is not recognized evenly over the contract term, but is recognized as the lesser of the cumulative amounts due and payable or ratably for bundled agreements, and as amounts become due and payable for unbundled agreements, at each period end. Revenue recognized under these arrangements will be higher in the later part of the contract term, which puts our revenue recognition in the future at greater risk of the customer’s continuing credit-worthiness. In addition, some of our customers have extended payment terms, which creates additional credit risk.

 

Implementing rigorous internal control over financial reporting is difficult and time-consuming, and if we are not able to ensure effective control investor confidence may weaken and the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

We have experienced difficulties in completing our quarterly and year-end financial closing process without adjustments proposed by our independent auditor. Adjustments have related to matters such as revenue recognition, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, prepaid commissions and strategic investments. We cannot assure you that the steps we have taken to improve the design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting, as it relates to our financial closing process will be successful, because the implementation of those steps is not yet complete and we may encounter unexpected difficulties that would delay their effectiveness. If we do not effectively implement a complete system of internal control over financial reporting, then we may encounter difficulties with the maintenance of records, recording of transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and our policies, or assurance about prevention or detection of unauthorized use of our assets. Failing to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control can also result in loss of investor confidence in our reported results and consequently harm our stock price.

 

We compete against companies that hold a large share of the electronic design automation market. If we cannot compete successfully, we will not gain market share.

 

We currently compete with companies that hold dominant shares in the electronic design automation market, such as Cadence and Synopsys. Each of these companies has a longer operating history and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, as well as greater name recognition and larger installed customer bases. Our competitors are better able to offer aggressive discounts on their products, a practice they often employ. Our competitors offer a more comprehensive range of products than we do; for example, we do not offer logic simulation, formal verification, full-feature custom layout editing, analog or mixed signal products, which can sometimes be an impediment to our winning a particular customer order. In addition, our industry has traditionally viewed acquisitions as an effective strategy for growth in products and market share and our competitors’ greater cash resources and higher market capitalization may give them a relative advantage over us in buying companies with promising new chip design products or companies that may be too large for us to acquire without a strain on our resources. Examples of acquisitions by our competitors include Synopsys’ acquisition of Avant! and Cadence’s acquisition of Get2Chip, Silicon Perspective, Plato, Simplex, K2 Technologies, Verplex and Cadmos. Further consolidation in the electronic design automation market could result in an increasingly competitive environment. Competitive pressures may prevent us from gaining market share, require us to reduce the price of products and services or cause us to lose existing customers, which could harm our business. To execute our business strategy successfully, we must continue to increase our sales worldwide. If we fail to do so in a timely manner or at all, we may not be able to gain market share and our business and operating results could suffer.

Also, a variety of small companies continue to emerge, developing and introducing new products. Any of these companies could become a significant competitor in the future. We also compete with the internal chip design automation development groups of our existing and potential customers. Therefore, these customers may not require, or may be reluctant to purchase, products offered by independent vendors.

 

Our competitors may develop or acquire new products or technologies that have the potential to replace our existing or new product offerings. The introduction of these new or additional products by competitors may cause potential customers to defer purchases of our products. If we fail to compete successfully, we will not gain market share and our business will fail.

 

We may not be successful in integrating the operations of acquired companies.

 

We expect to continuously evaluate the possibility of accelerating our growth through acquisitions, as is customary in the electronic design automation industry. Achieving the anticipated benefits of past and possible future acquisitions will depend in part upon whether we can integrate the operations, products and technology of acquired companies with our operations, products and technology in a timely and cost-effective manner. The process of integrating with acquired companies is complex, expensive and time-consuming, and may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the product development and sales activities and operations of both companies. We cannot assure you that any part or all of the integration will be accomplished on a timely basis, or at all. Assimilating previously acquired companies such as Aplus, or any other companies we may seek to acquire in the future, involves a number of other risks, including, but not limited to:

 

    adverse effects on existing customer relationships, such as cancellation of orders or the loss of key customers;

 

    difficulties in integrating or an inability to retain the employees of the acquired company;

 

    difficulties in integrating the operations of the acquired company, such as information technology resources, manufacturing processes, and financial and operational data;

 

    difficulties in integrating the technologies of the acquired company into our products;

 

    potential incompatibility of business cultures;

 

    potential dilution to existing stockholders if we have to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions; and

 

    additional expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets.

 

We may not be able to hire the number of qualified engineering personnel required for our business, particularly field application engineering personnel, which would harm our ability to grow.

 

We continue to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining skilled engineers with appropriate qualifications to support our growth strategy. Our success depends on our ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified engineering personnel with experience in integrated circuit design. Specifically, we need to attract and retain field application engineers to work with our direct sales force to technically qualify new sales opportunities and perform design work to demonstrate our products’ capabilities to customers during the benchmark evaluation process. Competition for qualified engineers is intense, particularly in Silicon Valley where our headquarters are located. If we lose the services of a significant number of our engineers or we cannot hire additional engineers, we will be unable to increase our sales or implement or maintain our growth strategy.

 

Because many of our current competitors have pre-existing relationships with our current and potential customers, we might not be able to gain market share, which could harm our operations.

 

Many of our competitors, including Cadence and Synopsys, have established relationships with our current and potential customers and can devote substantial resources aimed at preventing us from establishing or enhancing our customer relationships. These existing relationships can make it difficult for us to obtain additional customers due to the substantial investment that these potential customers have already made in their current design flows. If we are unable to gain market share due to these relationships with our potential customers, our operating results could be harmed.

 

Our operating results will be significantly harmed if chip designers do not adopt Blast Fusion and Blast Fusion APX.

 

Blast Fusion and Blast Fusion APX have accounted for a significant majority of our revenue since our inception and we believe that revenue from Blast Fusion and Blast Fusion APX and related products will account for most of our revenue for the foreseeable future. If integrated circuit designers do not adopt Blast Fusion and Blast Fusion APX, our operating results will be significantly harmed. We must continue market penetration of Blast Fusion and Blast Fusion APX to achieve our growth strategy and financial success.

 

If the industries into which we sell our products experience recession or other cyclical effects affecting our customers’ research and development budgets, our revenue would be likely to decline.

 

        Demand for our products is driven by new integrated circuit design projects. The demand from semiconductor and systems companies is uncertain and difficult to predict. Slower growth in the semiconductor and systems industries, a reduced number of design starts, reduction of electronic design automation budgets or continued consolidation among our customers would harm our business and financial condition. We have experienced slower growth in revenue than we anticipated as a result of the prolonged downturn and decreased spending by our customers in the semiconductor and systems industries.

 

The primary customers for our products are companies in the communications, computing, consumer electronics, networking and semiconductor industries. Any significant downturn in our customers’ markets or in general economic conditions that results in the cutback of research and development budgets or the delay of software purchases would be likely to result in lower demand for our products and services and could harm our business. For example, the United States economy, including the semiconductor industry, is currently experiencing a slowdown, which has negatively impacted and may continue to impact our business and operating results. Terrorist attacks in the United States, the aftermath of war with Iraq and other worldwide events including in the Middle East have increased uncertainty in the United States economy. If the economy continues to decline as a result of the economic, political and social turmoil, existing customers may delay their implementation of our software products and prospective customers may decide not to adopt our software products, either of which could negatively impact our business and operating results.

Table of Contents

In addition, the markets for semiconductor products are cyclical. In recent years, some Asian countries have experienced significant economic difficulties, including devaluation and instability, business failures and a depressed business environment. These difficulties triggered a significant downturn in the semiconductor market, resulting in reduced budgets for chip design tools, which, in turn, negatively impacted us. We have experienced delayed orders and slower deployment of our products under new orders as a result of reduced budgets for chip design tools. In addition, the electronics industry has historically been subject to seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in demand for its products, and this trend may continue in the future. These industry downturns have been, and may continue to be, characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing capacity and subsequent erosion of average selling prices.

 

Difficulties in developing and achieving market acceptance of new products and delays in planned release dates of our software products and upgrades may harm our business.

 

To succeed, we will need to develop innovative new products. We may not have the financial resources necessary to fund all required future innovations. Also, any revenue that we receive from enhancements or new generations of our proprietary software products may be less than the costs of development. If we cannot successfully develop and market new products, or if we fail to do so in a timely manner, our reputation and our business would suffer.

 

Our costs of customer engagement and support are high, so our gross margin may decrease if we incur higher-than-expected costs associated with providing support services in the future or if we reduce our prices.

 

Because of the complexity of our products, we typically incur high field application engineering support costs to engage new customers and assist them in their evaluations of our products. If we fail to manage our customer engagement and support costs, our operating results could suffer. In addition, our gross margin may decrease if we are unable to manage support costs associated with the mix of license and services revenue we generate or if we reduce prices in response to competitive pressure.

 

Product defects could cause us to lose customers and revenue, or to incur unexpected expenses.

 

Our products depend on complex software, both internally developed and licensed from third parties. Our customers may use our products with other companies’ products, which also contain complex software. If our software does not meet our customers’ performance requirements, our customer relationships may suffer. Also, a limited number of our contracts include specified ongoing performance criteria. If our products fail to meet these criteria, it may lead to termination of these agreements and loss of future revenue. Complex software often contains errors. Any failure or poor performance of our software or the third-party software with which it is integrated could result in:

 

    delayed market acceptance of our software products;

 

    delays in product shipments;

 

    unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to identify the source of errors or to correct errors;

 

    damage to our reputation;

 

    delayed or lost revenue; and

 

    product liability claims.

 

Our product functions are often critical to our customers, especially because of the resources our customers expend on the design and fabrication of integrated circuits. Many of our licensing agreements contain provisions to provide a limited warranty, which provides the customer with a right of refund for the license fees if we are unable to correct errors reported during the warranty period. If our contractual limitations are unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction or if we are exposed to product liability claims that are not covered by insurance, a successful claim could harm our business. We currently do not carry product liability insurance.

 

Much of our business is international, which exposes us to risks inherent to doing business internationally that could harm our business. We also intend to expand our international operations. If our revenue from this expansion does not exceed the expenses associated with this expansion, our business and operating results could suffer.

 

24


Table of Contents

We generated 45% of our total revenue from sales outside North America for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 31% in the three months ended June 30, 2002. While all of our international sales to date have been denominated in U.S. dollars, our international operating expenses have been denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies could increase the relative costs of our overseas operations, which could reduce our operating margins.

 

The expansion of our international operations includes the maintenance of sales offices in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. If our revenue from international operations does not exceed the expense of establishing and maintaining our international operations, our business could suffer. Additional risks we face in conducting business internationally include:

 

    difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations across different geographic areas;

 

    changes in currency exchange rates and controls;

 

    uncertainty regarding tax and regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions;

 

    the possible lack of financial and political stability in foreign countries, preventing overseas sales growth;

 

    the aftermath of war in Iraq;

 

    the effects of terrorist attacks in the United States and any related conflicts or similar events worldwide.

 

Future changes in accounting standards, specifically changes affecting revenue recognition, could cause adverse unexpected revenue fluctuations.

 

Future changes in accounting standards for interpretations thereof, specifically those changes affecting software revenue recognition, could require us to change our methods of revenue recognition. These changes could result in deferral of revenue recognized in current periods to subsequent periods or in accelerated recognition of deferred revenue to current periods, each of which could cause shortfalls in meeting the expectations of investors and securities analysts. Our stock price could decline as a result of any shortfall. Future implementation of internal controls reporting and attestation requirements will impose additional financial and administrative obligations on us that could adversely affect our results.

 

Changes in effective tax rates could affect our results of operations.

 

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by the following:

 

    earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we are taxed at lower statutory rates as compared to the U.S. tax rate;

 

    an increase in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, including write-offs of acquired in-process technology;

 

    changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; or

 

    changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology standards of the semiconductor industry. If we are unable to keep pace with rapidly changing technology standards, our products could be rendered obsolete, which would cause our operating results to decline.

 

The semiconductor industry has made significant technological advances. In particular, recent advances in deep sub-micron technology have required electronic design automation companies to continuously develop or acquire new products and enhance existing products. The evolving nature of our industry could render our existing products and services obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

 

    enhance our existing products and services;

 

25


Table of Contents
    develop and introduce new products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis that will keep pace with technological developments and evolving industry standards;

 

    address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers; and

 

    acquire other companies that have complementary or innovative products.

 

If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business and operating results could be seriously harmed.

 

Because competition for qualified personnel is intense in our industry, we may not be able to recruit necessary personnel, which could impact the development or sales of our products.

 

Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain senior management, sales, marketing and other key personnel. Because of the intense competition for such personnel, it is possible that we will fail to retain key technical and managerial personnel. If we are unable to retain our existing personnel, or attract and train additional qualified personnel, our growth may be limited due to our lack of capacity to develop and market our products. This could harm the market’s perception of our business and our ability to achieve our business goals.

 

Our success is highly dependent on the technical, sales, marketing and managerial contributions of key individuals, and we may be unable to recruit and retain these personnel.

 

We depend on our senior executives, and our research and development, sales and marketing personnel, who are critical to our business. We do not have long-term employment agreements with our key employees, and we do not maintain any key person life insurance policies. If we lose the services of any of these key executives, our product development processes and sales efforts could be slowed. We may also incur increased operating expenses and be required to divert the attention of other senior executives to search for their replacements. The integration of our new executives or any new personnel could disrupt our ongoing operations.

 

If we fail to maintain competitive stock option packages for our employees, or if our stock price declines materially for a protracted period of time, we might have difficulty retaining our employees and our business may be harmed.

 

In today’s competitive technology industry, employment decisions of highly skilled personnel are influenced by stock option packages, which offer incentives above traditional compensation only where there is a consistent, long-term upward trend over time of a company’s stock price. If our stock price declines due to market conditions, investors’ perceptions of the technology industry or managerial or performance problems we have, our stock option incentives may lose value to key employees, and we may lose these employees or be forced to grant additional options to retain them. This in turn could result in:

 

    immediate and substantial dilution to investors resulting from the grant of additional options necessary to retain employees; and

 

    potential compensation charges against the company, which could negatively impact our operating results.

 

In addition, if we were required to account for stock options as an operating expense, our net income would be reduced or net losses increased. Accordingly, our financial results would be adversely affected, particularly relative to companies that grant fewer stock options. If we reduce our level of stock option grants, our ability to recruit and retain employees may be adversely affected.

 

If our sales force compensation arrangements are designed poorly, we may lose sales personnel and resources.

 

Designing an effective incentive compensation structure for our sales force is critical to our success. We have experimented, and continue to experiment, with different systems of sales force compensation. If our incentives are not well designed, we may experience reduced revenue generation, and we may also lose the services of our more productive sales personnel, either of which would reduce our revenues or potential revenues.

 

Fluctuations in our growth place a strain on our management systems and resources, and if we fail to manage the pace of our growth our business could be harmed.

 

26


Table of Contents

Periods of growth followed by efforts to realign costs when revenue growth is slower than anticipated have placed a strain on our management, administrative and financial resources. For example, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, we laid off 32 employees. Over time we have significantly expanded our operations in the United States and internationally, and we plan to continue to expand the geographic scope of our operations. To pace the growth of our operations with the growth in our revenue, we must continue to improve administrative, financial and operations systems, procedures and controls. Failure to improve our internal procedures and controls could result in a disruption of our operations and harm to our business. If we are unable to manage our growth the execution of our business plan could be delayed.

 

We may have difficulty assimilating technology, personnel and operations from acquisitions, and these difficulties may disrupt our business and divert management’s attention.

 

We have made acquisitions and we may continue to pursue acquisitions that we believe may complement our business. If we do acquire additional companies, the integration of the separate operations of our company and an acquisition partner may result in problems related to integration of technology and management teams, either of which could divert management’s attention from day-to-day operations. We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, and we may not be able to retain key management, technical and sales personnel after an acquisition. Our products incorporate software licensed from third parties, and if we lose or are unable to maintain any of these software licenses, our product shipments could be delayed or reduced.

 

We use software, such as front-end language processing, license keying software and schematic viewing software that we license from third parties. We have also licensed the rights to some technologies from various universities, including the Technical University of Eindhoven, Delft University and the University of California, Berkeley. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we cannot maintain existing third-party technology licenses or enter into licenses for other existing or future technologies needed for our products, we could be required to cease or delay product shipments while we seek to develop alternative technologies.

 

If chip designers and manufacturers do not integrate our software into existing design flows, or if other software companies do not cooperate in working with us to interface our products with their design flows, demand for our products may decrease.

 

To implement our business strategy successfully, we must provide products that interface with the software of other electronic design automation software companies. Our competitors may not support our or our customers’ efforts to integrate our products into their existing design flows. We must develop cooperative relationships with competitors so that they will work with us to integrate our software into a customer’s design flow. Currently, our software is designed to interface with the existing software of Cadence, Synopsys and others. If we are unable to convince customers to adopt our software products instead of those of competitors offering a broader set of products, or if we are unable to convince other semiconductor companies to work with us to interface our software with theirs to meet the demands of chip designers and manufacturers, our business and operating results will suffer.

 

We may not obtain sufficient patent protection, which could harm our competitive position and increase our expenses.

 

Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary technology. We currently have a number of issued patents in the United States, but this number is relatively few in relation to our competitors.

 

These legal protections afford only limited protection for our technology. In addition, rights that may be granted under any patent application that may issue in the future may not provide competitive advantages to us. Further, patent protection in foreign jurisdictions where we may need this protection may be limited or unavailable. It is possible that:

 

    our pending U.S. and non-U.S. patent applications may not be issued;

 

    competitors may design around our present or future issued patents or may develop competing non-infringing technologies;

 

    present and future issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary rights; and

 

    present and future issued patents could be successfully challenged for validity and enforceability.

 

27


Table of Contents

We believe the patent portfolios of our competitors are far larger than ours, and this may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement and may limit our ability to counterclaim for patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses.

 

We rely on trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights, and if these rights are not sufficiently protected, it could harm our ability to compete and generate income.

 

To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, and contractual restrictions, such as confidentiality agreements and licenses. Our ability to compete and grow our business could suffer if these rights are not adequately protected. We seek to protect our source code for our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws. We license our software pursuant to agreements, which impose certain restrictions on the licensee’s ability to utilize the software. We also seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements. Our proprietary rights may not be adequately protected because:

 

    laws and contractual restrictions in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions may not prevent misappropriation of our technologies or deter others from developing similar technologies;

 

    competitors may independently develop similar technologies and software code;

 

    for some of our trademarks, Federal U.S. trademark protection may be unavailable to us;

 

    our trademarks may not be protected or protectable in some foreign jurisdictions;

 

    the validity and scope of our U.S. and foreign trademarks could be successfully challenged; and

 

    policing unauthorized use of our products and trademarks is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and we may be unable to determine the extent of this unauthorized use.

 

The laws of some countries in which we market our products may offer little or no protection of our proprietary technologies. Reverse engineering, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technologies could enable third parties to benefit from our technologies without paying us for it, which would harm our competitive position and market share.

 

We may face intellectual property infringement or other claims against us or our customers that could be costly to defend and result in our loss of significant rights.

 

Many of our contracts contain provisions in which we agree to indemnify our customers from third-party intellectual property infringement claims. Other parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us or our customers, and our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. We have also acquired or may hereafter acquire software as a result of our past or future acquisitions, and we may be subject to claims that such software infringes the intellectual property rights of third parties. If we become involved in litigation, we could lose our proprietary rights and incur substantial unexpected operating costs. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from our business. If there is a successful claim of infringement, we may be required to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or license agreements, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Our failure to develop non-infringing technologies or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis would harm our business. Our products may infringe third-party patents that may relate to our products. Also, we may be unaware of filed patent applications that relate to our software products. We believe the patent portfolios of our competitors are far larger than ours, and this may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement and may limit our ability to counterclaim for patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses.

 

We may also become involved in litigation unrelated to intellectual property infringement claims. For example, in August 2001, a complaint was filed against us alleging breach of contract, among other things. This litigation was recently settled. We may not be successful in defending other claims that may be made against us. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can result in substantial expense and could divert the efforts of our management and technical personnel.

Table of Contents

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders own a substantial portion of our common stock and this concentration of ownership may allow them to elect most of our directors and could delay or prevent a change in control of Magma.

 

Our directors, executive officers and stockholders who currently own over 5% of our common stock beneficially own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, if they vote together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, they may be able to elect most of our directors, delay or prevent a transaction in which stockholders might receive a premium over the market price for their shares or prevent changes in control or management.

 

Our stock price may decline significantly because of stock market fluctuations that affect the prices of technology stocks. A decline in our stock price could result in securities class action litigation against us, that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.

 

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have adversely affected the market prices of common stock of technology companies. These broad market fluctuations may reduce the market price of our common stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company after periods of volatility in the market price of securities. We may in the future be a target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could harm our ability to execute our business plan.

 

We may need additional capital in the future, but there is no assurance that funds would be available on acceptable terms.

 

In the future we may need to raise additional capital in order to achieve growth or other business objectives. This financing may not be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us and may be dilutive to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to expand, develop or enhance services or products, or respond to competitive pressures would be limited.

 

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware corporate law contain anti-takeover provisions which could delay or prevent a change in control even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. We could also adopt a stockholder rights plan, which could also delay or prevent a change in control.

 

Delaware law, as well as our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if the change of control would be beneficial to the stockholders. These provisions could lower the price that future investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock. These anti-takeover provisions:

 

    authorize the Board of Directors without prior stockholder approval to create and issue preferred stock that can be issued increasing the number of outstanding shares and deter or prevent a takeover attempt;

 

    prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

 

    establish a classified Board of Directors requiring that not all members of the board be elected at one time;

 

    prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;

 

    limit the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; and

 

    require advanced notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board of Directors and proposals that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

 

In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the terms of our stock option plans may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company. That section generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for three years after the date the stockholder became an interested

stockholder. Also, our stock option plans include change-in-control provisions that allow us to grant options or stock purchase rights that will become vested immediately upon a change in control of us.

 

The board of directors also has the power to adopt a stockholder rights plan, which could delay or prevent a change in control even if the change in control appeared to be beneficial to stockholders. These plans, sometimes called “poison pills,” are sometimes criticized by institutional investors or their advisors and could affect our rating by such investors or advisors. If the board were to adopt such a plan it might have the effect of reducing the price that new investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock.

 

We are subject to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

We transact some portions of our business in various foreign currencies. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This exposure is primarily related to operating expenses in the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan, which are denominated in the respective local currencies. As of June 30, 2003, we had no hedging contracts outstanding. We do not currently use financial instruments to hedge operating expenses in the United Kingdom and Japan denominated in the respective local currency. We assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

 

The convertible notes we issued in May 2003 are debt obligations that must be repaid in cash in May 2008 if they are not converted into our common stock at an earlier date, which is unlikely to occur if the price of our common stock does not exceed the conversion price.

 

In May 2003, we issued $150 million principal amount of our zero coupon convertible notes due May 2008. We will be required to repay that principal amount in full in May 2008 unless the holders of those notes elect to convert them into our common stock before the repayment date. The conversion price of the notes is $22.86 per share. If the price of our common stock does not rise above that level, conversion of the notes is unlikely and we would be required to repay the principal amount of the notes in cash. There have been previous quarters in which we have experienced shortfalls in revenue and earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and investors, which have had an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and trading volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance. Because the notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, volatility or depressed prices for our common stock could have a similar effect on the trading price of the notes.

 

Hedging transactions and other transactions may affect the value of our common stock and our convertible notes.

 

We entered into hedging arrangements with Credit Suisse First Boston International at the time we issued our convertible notes, with the objective of reducing the potential dilutive effect of issuing common stock upon conversion of the notes. These hedging arrangements are likely to have caused Credit Suisse First Boston International and others to take positions in our common stock in secondary market transactions or to enter into derivative transactions at or after the sale of the notes. Any market participants entering into hedging arrangements are likely to modify their hedge positions from time to time prior to conversion or maturity of the notes by purchasing and selling shares of our common stock or other securities, which may increase the volatility and reduce the market price of our common stock.

 

Our convertible notes are subordinated and there are no financial covenants in the indenture.

 

Our convertible notes are general unsecured obligations of Magma and are subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, which we may incur in the future. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, or upon acceleration of the notes due to an event of default under the indenture and in certain other events, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all senior indebtedness has been paid. As a result, there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the outstanding notes. In addition, we will not make any payments on the notes in the event of payment defaults or other specified defaults on our designated senior indebtedness.

 

Neither we nor our subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture for the notes from incurring additional debt, including senior indebtedness. If we or our subsidiaries incur additional debt or other liabilities, our ability to pay our obligations on the notes could be adversely affected. We expect that we and our subsidiaries from time to time will incur additional indebtedness and other liabilities.

We may be unable to meet the requirements under the indenture to purchase our convertible notes upon a change in control.

 

Upon a change in control, as to which is defined in the indenture to include some cash acquisitions and private company mergers, note holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of the notes they hold. If a change in control were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay the purchase price for all tendered notes. Future credit agreements or other agreements relating to our indebtedness might prohibit the redemption or repurchase of the notes and provide that a change in control constitutes an event of default. If a change in control occurs at a time when we are prohibited from purchasing the notes, we could seek the consent of our lenders to purchase the notes or could attempt to refinance this debt. If we do not obtain a consent, we could not purchase the notes. Our failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an event of default under the indenture, which might constitute a default under the terms of our other debt. In such circumstances, or if a change in control would constitute an event of default under our senior indebtedness, the subordination provisions of the indenture would possibly limit or prohibit payments to note holders. Our obligation to offer to purchase the notes upon a change in control would not necessarily afford note holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in widely diversified short-term and long-term investments, consisting primarily of investment grade securities, substantially all of which mature within the next twenty-four months. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an approximate $1.46 million decline (less than 1%) in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities.

 

Market Risk

 

The fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt is sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in increases or decreases in the fair value of our debt, due to differences between market interest rates and rates in effect at the inception of our debt obligation. Changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt have no impact on our cash flows or consolidated financial statements.

 

Credit Risk

 

We completed an offering on May 22, 2003, of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due May 15, 2008. Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company has entered into convertible bond hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock, the exposure for which is held by Credit Suisse First Boston International. Both the bond hedge and warrant transactions may be settled at our option either in cash or net shares and expire on May 15, 2008. The transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the notes. Subject to the movement in the share price of our common stock, we could be exposed to credit risk in the settlement of these options in our favor. Based on a review of the possible net settlements and the credit strength of Credit Suisse First Boston International and its affiliates, we believe that we do not have a material exposure to credit risk arising from these option transactions.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

We transact some portions of our business in various foreign currencies. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This exposure is primarily related to operating expenses in the United Kingdom and Japan, which are denominated in the respective local currency. As of June 30, 2003, we had no currency hedging contracts outstanding. We do not currently use financial instruments to hedge operating expenses in the United Kingdom and Japan denominated in the respective local currency. We assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended June 30, 2003 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except that we have:

 

    established a plan and program to upgrade and further automate our financial reporting procedures, including implementing a new financial software system, improving the financial closing process, and formalizing accounting policies and financial reporting procedures, and

 

    hired additional finance and accounting personnel responsible for corporate and international financial reporting to facilitate the implementation of our plan.

 

We intend to continue to execute this plan and program for upgrading and automating our financial reporting procedures over the coming months.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On February 6, 2003, we entered into a definitive agreement to settle a lawsuit initially filed in Santa Clara County, California Superior Court in August of 2001 by Prolific, Inc. The settlement agreement provided for two installment payments by Magma in the aggregate amount of $1.85 million. The first payment of $0.925 million was made in February 2003 and the second payment of $0.925 million was made in July 2003. There are no continuing obligations by the parties to each other.

 

From time to time, we are involved in other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The number and significance of these disputes is increasing as our business expands and our company grows larger. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. As a result, these disputes could harm our business.

 

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES OR USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Recent Sales Of Unregistered Securities

 

Under the terms of a Purchase Agreement dated May 16, 2003, we sold $150 million of our Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2008 to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and UBS Warburg LLC. The issuance and sale of the notes and the subsequent offering of the notes by the initial purchasers were exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We sold the notes for cash. The aggregate offering price was $150 million and our net proceeds were $145.2 million.

 

The notes will mature on May 15, 2008 and are convertible on or before the maturity date into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $22.86 per share, subject to adjustment for certain events. This is equivalent to an interest rate of approximately 43.7445 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The notes will not accrete interest. Fees paid to the initial purchasers of $4.5 million have been classified as debt discount. We will accrete these fees using an effective interest rate of 0.6% over the term of the notes.

 

On July 1, 2003, we issued an aggregate of 321,128 shares of our common stock in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Aplus Design Technologies, Inc. We may issue up to 758,292 additional shares of our common stock upon the achievement of the earn-out milestones set forth in the Aplus acquisition agreement. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D thereof.
