PART I
 
ITEM 1—BUSINESS
 
The Company
 
STM Wireless, Inc. (the “Company” or “STM”), is a developer, manufacturer and provider of wireless-based satellite communications infrastructure and user terminal products utilized in public and private telecommunications networks for broadband and telephony applications. These networks support IP based data, fax, voice and video communication and are used to either bypass or extend terrestrial networks. The Company’s product line is based on proprietary hardware and software and primarily consists of two-way earth stations referred to as VSATs (very small aperture terminals), associated infrastructure equipment and software. The Company’s proprietary equipment and software are utilized by businesses, government agencies and telephone companies in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.
 
The Company was incorporated in California in January 1982 as Services Via Satellite and in December 1982 changed its name to Satellite Technology Management, Inc. In January 1995, the Company registered in California to do business as STM Wireless, Inc. In December 1995, the Company reorganized as a Delaware corporation via a merger into a wholly-owned subsidiary with the name STM Wireless, Inc.
 
Description of the Business
 
The Company develops, manufactures and markets wireless based satellite communications infrastructure products to customers for the creation of public and private networks. The Company’s products provide customers with the ability to transmit many forms of information including IP based data, voice, fax and video. The Company historically has sold its products primarily in the international arena. In 2001, export sales and sales to end users outside the United States comprised 94% of the Company’s revenues. The solutions currently provided by the Company are principally satellite communications networks, which can be deployed and reconfigured faster and at a lower cost than terrestrial alternatives. The main products that STM sells are small, two-way earth stations referred to as VSATs, associated infrastructure equipment and software.
 
The applications for the Company’s product lines falls into three separate classes:
 
 
 
One class of applications helps solve the problem of insufficient bandwidth to enable the Internet to fulfill its potential for a multitude of new services. By using satellite, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can bypass the traditional landline infrastructure, which is often unable to economically meet quality of service expectations because of network congestion. STM’s SpaceWeb broadband products provide the equipment for service providers to offer high bandwidth to their customers by satellite, both for downloading and for the return channel from the customer to the ISP. In addition to bypassing landline bandwidth restrictions, satellite provides an ideal technology for broadcast applications on the Internet. It offers a large reach by its very nature (one satellite can cover one-third of the earth). Furthermore, STM’s solutions feature “IP tuning”, which modifies the routing technology of the Internet for broadcast applications. Traditional routing technology over landline infrastructure is not as efficient in broadcast applications. It consequently ties up bandwidth in routing inefficiency, which keeps it from other uses and users. STM’s technology is also attractive as a means to enable an ISP to more effectively deploy its access and bandwidth to its customers.
 
 
 
Another class of applications enables cost-effective data and voice communications for corporations and large, geographically dispersed organizations. Powerful drivers for the growth of the Internet are electronic information sharing and business transactions. As this trend continues, it is likely to drive the demand for corporate communication tools such as video conferencing, telemedicine, and distance learning. STM’s corporate solutions provide the networks that enable these tools.

2


 
 
 
The last class of applications targets rural telephony services in developing countries. The demand for rural telephony products and services in developing countries is considerable. However, the great majority of potential subscribers cannot afford the current service rates of their national providers. In other cases, the potential subscribers who can afford the service are separated by large distances and difficult terrain, which prohibit the cost-effective use of traditional landline and microwave infrastructure. STM’s solutions are tailored to enable cost-effective service to a significant proportion of these potential subscribers.
 
The Company’s product line is based on proprietary hardware and software used in the remote terminals, hubs/gateways and network management systems. The Company’s satellite communications product line includes products that are capable of concurrently transmitting and receiving data as well as several channels of digitized voice, using the Company’s software to perform call routing and to allocate satellite capacity on call initiation. These product features allow more efficient use of satellite transponders and are attractive to international customers for whom combined voice and data communications costs are a prime concern.
 
The Company has established alliances with customers, distributors and sales representatives in over 30 countries and has supplied networks to customers or end users in many geographic areas, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Holland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Spain, Sudan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States and Venezuela.
 
Industry Background
 
VSAT products provide customers with the ability to transmit several forms of information including voice, fax, data and video by attaching standard communications equipment such as telephones, fax machines or computers to the VSAT, which in turn relays information to and from satellites. The primary advantage of VSAT networks is the substantial cost savings compared to land-based telephone networks where the network users are geographically widespread. Due to the nature of satellites, transmission costs are not affected by the distance information travels, while in terrestrial networks, transmission costs are directly related to the distance between the network users. VSAT equipment can be rapidly installed, upgraded or moved. Thus, networks can be expanded or changed with relatively little expense and disruption to users. Bandwidth allocated to each user can be changed dynamically, and the network can be reconfigured and additional features and changes downloaded to the user. Furthermore, the network user or service provider has the ability to monitor operations of the network, collect performance statistics and perform diagnostics.
 
Since the mid-1980s, the VSAT network market has grown with the North American enterprise network market share dominating. In recent years, changes in both the political and regulatory environments have contributed to the international expansion of the VSAT network market. While the North American market is primarily for data transmission applications, in most international markets, applications for basic telephony services including voice, facsimile and low speed data transmission are important. Recently, as a result of the worldwide Internet explosion and the growing demand for high bandwidth applications, VSATs have also emerged as a compelling solution for the provision of high bandwidth Internet services.
 
Broadband Satellite Market
 
The Company’s family of products address the growing demand for high bandwidth applications and Internet access via satellite. As the popularity of the Internet grows, so does the demand for rich, high bandwidth content over the Internet. The broadband satellite solutions help solve the problem of insufficient bandwidth to enable the Internet to fulfill its potential for a multitude of new services. By using satellite, ISPs can bypass the traditional landline infrastructure, which is often unable to economically meet quality of service expectations because of network congestion. In addition, in some areas, broadband satellite solutions may allow ISPs and other service providers to build up their networks and customer base at a faster and cheaper pace than they could through traditional terrestrial means.

3


 
The Company’s product line can serve a wide variety of different applications in this market, such as fast Internet access, telemedicine, distance learning, video conferencing, video and audio streaming (TV, news, software, games), virtual private networks, global extension of corporate networks, global ISP services, IP multicast, Push/Data broadcast and e-commerce. The key features of the Company’s current product lines include:

Enterprise Networks
 
Enterprise networks are private communications systems, which provide a solution for organizations with frequent communications needs between remote locations allowing organizations to collect, process, respond to and disseminate information in a timely, reliable and cost-efficient manner. VSATs have historically been used in developed countries for transaction oriented applications, including point-of-purchase transactions, credit card verification, automatic teller machine transactions, and inventory management.
 
In recent years, the price of VSATs has decreased, their functionality and reliability have improved and the number of communication protocols that can be supported has increased. The Company believes that these improvements allow VSAT networks to compete effectively as full service communications systems in international markets where the lack of reliable terrestrial networks necessitates the use of alternative telecommunication infrastructure. In addition to transaction oriented applications, international VSAT enterprise networks are used for communications applications such as e-mail, intranets, Internet access and basic voice service. The Company believes there will be a significant growth in VSAT enterprise networks as a result of increased electronic information sharing and business transactions on the Internet.
 
Rural Telephony Market
 
As the world’s economies continue to globalize, the need for countries to provide their population with access to telecommunications service has become significantly more important as a means of increasing competitiveness. In response, many developing countries throughout the world have begun to make significant capital expenditures on the deployment of new networks and the expansion of their existing telephone infrastructure to increase telephony penetration. While traditional terrestrial telecommunications networks are being deployed and expanded in the urban areas of these developing countries to increase telephony penetration, it is more difficult to provide networks to the rural areas of these countries due to the dispersion of the population and difficult terrain that often characterizes these locations. As a result, in a large number of remote and rural areas in developing countries, there continues to be limited or no telephone service.

4


 
There are a number of alternatives to satellite technology that are being used to meet increased demand for telecommunication services. Wireline and cellular telephony networks can be used to effectively meet telecommunications needs in rural areas with relatively higher population densities. However, the Company believes that VSAT networks have a number of advantages over alternative solutions for many rural and urban telephony applications in developing countries where low population density and rough terrain are considerations. Due to the nature of satellites, transmission costs are not affected by the distance signals must travel. Therefore, generally, the greater the distance between the sites to be served, the greater the benefit of a VSAT network. VSAT equipment can be rapidly installed and connected to a network and can easily be upgraded, expanded or relocated with relatively little expense and disruption. VSAT networks are relatively simple to reconfigure, are relatively immune to difficulties in topography and can be located almost anywhere.
 
Business Strategy
 
STM seeks to leverage its technical strength in networking and telephony technologies as well as its strong position and marketing expertise in international markets to become a leading supplier of satellite-based communications solutions. To achieve this objective, the Company is pursuing the following initiatives:
 
Strengthen Position in Broadband Satellite Market: The Company through December 31, 2001, has deployed its broadband solution for a number of customers, primarily in overseas markets. The Company is focused on increasing its broadband product sales both through direct sales and entering into strategic relationships and vendor alliances. In addition, the Company is focused on reducing the cost of its products to improve its competitive position in the market for broadband satellite solutions.
 
Expand Market Share in Enterprise Networks: The Company continues to believe there will be a significant growth in VSAT enterprise networks as a result of increased electronic information sharing and business transactions on the Internet. The Company’s enterprise network strategy is to capitalize on its international expertise to sell more products in the international market.
 
Solidify Position in Rural Telephony Market: Management believes that STM offers a comprehensive rural telephony solution through a suite of products specifically designed to service these needs. Management believes that the use of VSATs for rural telephony has yet to fully mature and a substantial global market opportunity exists for this technology to serve rural telephony needs. In addition, the Company is focused on increasing its share of the rural telephony market through developing lower cost and feature rich products that will provide customers with a higher level of reliability and flexibility.
 
Leverage Existing Marketing and Distribution Channels: STM’s sales and distribution networks comprise 30 countries in five continents and the Company’s products are currently utilized by more than 70 customers with equipment installed in approximately 90 countries. The Company seeks to increase the breadth of products that can be sold through its distribution network by both internal research and development (“R&D”) and strategic alliances with other manufacturers, as well as complementary acquisitions. STM continues to incur significant R&D expenditures relative to its revenues, as management believes that the Company’s significant dedication of resources to R&D is necessary to compete in a rapidly changing market.
 
Products
 
The principal products sold by the Company are VSATs, associated infrastructure equipment and software, transceivers, modems and other networking equipment, as well as voice over IP gateway and software solutions. The Company’s satellite products communicate via geostationary satellites in order to provide customers the ability to exchange several forms of information including voice, fax, data and video within their networks. Geostationary satellites are placed in orbit approximately 23,000 miles above the earth so that their orbit matches the speed of the earth’s rotation resulting in the satellite maintaining a fixed position relevant to the earth’s surface. VSAT networks can offer advantages over traditional networks of terrestrial telephone lines including

5


control over the network itself, improved response times with cost reduction opportunities and increased flexibility and reliability. For voice communications, VSAT networks are particularly suited to providing communications between geographically dispersed locations in that they are easier to install and provide wider accessibility and availability than terrestrial and microwave transmission alternatives. In addition, there is a growing need for subscriber broadband last-mile access for which there is no clear terrestrial solution even in large areas of developed countries.
 
The Company’s VSAT products fall into two categories: “mesh” and “star” products. Both of these product categories may be used by customers to build networks capable of communicating voice, fax, data and video, but, because they use different architectures, the use of each product is determined by the particular needs of the customer’s network. The principal difference between the two product categories lies in the methodology used for communicating between any two remote VSATs on a network. The “mesh” product employs circuit switched transmission. In mesh networks, any one VSAT communicates directly with any other VSAT on the network via a single transmission to and from the satellite. A “star” product employs packetized transmission.
 
Existing Products
 
The Company recently announced the release of its latest lines of VSAT products, the SES Solante and the SpaceWeb Olante. The new lines of products are intended to enhance STM’s competitive position in the emerging markets, particularly in the rural telephony and non-consumer broadband applications, which have been the Company’s primary focus. The two lines of products are designed to gradually merge the last generation of data and telephony products (i.e., the SpaceWeb Online and Subscriber Earth Station (SES)) from a customer application perspective.
 
SpaceWeb Olante Family:    The SpaceWeb Olante family of products are an evolutionary development of the SpaceWeb and X.STAR family and are fully backward compatible.
 
 
 
SpaceWeb Olante: delivers end-to-end, two-way, asymmetric broadband by satellite. The network architecture features a star topology with a compact, modular Hub Station and integrated Remote Stations. The central Hub station broadcasts a DVB-S/MPEG compliant outbound channel at up to 48 Mbps to the Remote Stations. The Remote Stations transmit back to the Hub Station over satellite using Time Division Multiple Access at burst rates that can be set up to 192 Kbps. Both Hub and Remote Stations include powerful built-in router capabilities and Quality of Service controls for advanced packet address and delivery features.
 
SpaceWeb Olante supports a wide range of innovative services for high-bandwidth users. These include Fast Internet Access, Virtual Private Networks, Distance Learning, Multicasting, Data Broadcasting, and Push Services. Available in C-, INSAT-, and Ku-Band versions, SpaceWeb Olante offers great flexibility to meet operational requirements around the globe. SpaceWeb Olante is a TCP/IP based product but also supports most major communications protocols including SDLC, X.25, X.3, HDLC and TCP/IP, resulting in seamless transport of information using these protocols across an X.STAR network.
 
A sophisticated Network Management System features Quality of Service through Bandwidth on Demand controls. These ensure efficient, cost-effective use of satellite resources.
 
The Hub Station equipment scales in proportion to the number of Remote Stations in the network. This capability minimizes initial capital expenditures and facilitates fast deployment.
 
 
 
SpaceWeb Online: SpaceWeb Online is the Company’s first generation broadband product and was created for demanding data and Internet access applications in the home-and-branch-office setting. SpaceWeb Online maintains a constant, highly reliable connection. Because it uses satellite for both transmission and reception, it is fully independent of landline infrastructure. It features up to 48 Mbps of Time Division Multiplex (TDM) bandwidth for downloading in a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) format, with up to 192 kbps of bandwidth for the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) return channel.

X.STAR: The Company’s X.STAR product primarily supports private networks with a need to connect remote user locations with a central site. A typical application of an X.STAR network would be the processing of point of sale transactions between retail outlets and a central database. However, the X.STAR product supports all types of data including voice, fax and broadcast video. The network is controlled by a central hub that acts as a gateway to the host facilities and as a switching and routing center for transmitting information between VSATs. A powerful network management system (“NMS”) is also a part of the hub and multiple remote NMS stations may be deployed on the network.
 
In an X.STAR network, VSATs all receive a common broadcast signal from the hub, filtering the data received to accept only the information addressed to devices connected to the VSAT. In order to transmit information back to the hub or to another VSAT via the hub, VSATs on the network share a common transmit channel back to the hub. Access to this transmit channel is controlled by the Company’s unique dynamic capacity allocations algorithm, which allocates a transmission time and duration to each VSAT dynamically based on its traffic requirements.
 
SES Solante Family:    The SES Solante Family of products are targeted at the provision of telephony services to unserved or underserved regions of the world. SES Solante is based on STM’s field-proven DAMA 10000 network platform.
 
 
 
SES Solante: The SES Solante provides voice, fax, and narrowband data services to remote areas by satellite. It combines powerful call routing and network management features with a small, easy-to-install outdoor terminal tailored for solar power. It is a cost-effective solution for rural telephony applications, such as public calling offices and payphone calling-card services.
 
The SES Solante is designed to provide reliable, affordable, on-demand telecommunications to areas in which services are unavailable, unreliable, or too expensive. Since it is satellite-based, the SES Solante can be quickly installed virtually anywhere, allowing rapid access to both the satellite and terrestrial public telephone (PSTN) networks. SES Solante features an all-weather exterior package, with no need for an indoor unit or weather-proof shelter. Moreover, it uses the Company’s DAMA 10000 Network Management System, which maximizes the use of available satellite bandwidth and minimizes operational costs. This enables SES Solante to combine high-quality voice and industry standard interfaces with cost-effective, efficient use of precious satellite bandwidth.
 
 
 
Subscriber Earth Station (SES): SES is a telephony product derived from and compatible with DAMA 10000. SES was designed to provide reliable, affordable, on-demand telecommunications service in remote and rural areas. SES is a small, lightweight terminal ideally suited for areas where telecommunications service is unavailable, unreliable or simply too expensive. Since it is satellite-based, like the latest SES Solante product, a SES terminal is capable of being installed quickly, virtually anywhere to allow immediate access to the SES network and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). SES provides telecommunications service with high quality voice and industry standard interfaces.
 
 
 
DAMA 10000: The Company’s DAMA 10000 product primarily supports public and private networks that need to have full connectivity among all sites. The DAMA 10000 is a fully integrated product that offers the flexibility to create and manage both large and small networks. With an expandable system architecture and highly configurable terminal equipment, the DAMA 10000 is an efficient solution for small to very large networks. The system supports full mesh, point-to-point or point-to-multi-point communications circuits and any user can connect to any other user on the network. DAMA 10000 uses a proprietary control channel to set up and tear down calls between VSATs as these are requested by users on the network. This results in satellite capacity only being consumed when calls are requested, thereby optimizing satellite transponder costs for the customer. In addition, DAMA 10000 provides support for the major international telephony signaling systems including R2 and DTMF as well as various payphone metering schemes, allowing it to be interconnected with the PSTN in many countries

7


around the world. These features of the product have resulted in it being ideally suited for rural telephony applications where individual VSATs provide multiple telephone lines to subscribers in remote locations. These VSATs are, in turn, all interconnected via satellite with the PSTN in the country of deployment providing the remote subscribers with worldwide calling capability.
 
Hubs/Gateways:    The Company manufactures the digital and modem portion of the hubs/gateways, which are comprised of a series of special purpose processing units utilized in multiplexing, network configuration and routing of information to the appropriate network destinations. This is controlled by the Company’s proprietary networking and system software. Typically, the digital portion of the hub/gateway has a number of voice and data ports that directly attach to the user’s equipment. Transmission between the hub/gateway and the remote VSAT is via a satellite transponder. The hub/gateway also includes radio frequency components and an antenna, which are purchased from suppliers and integrated into the system by the Company. The hub/gateway interacts with a network management system, which operates on a local or remote work station using proprietary software supplied by the Company.
 
Network Management Systems:    The Company provides a network management system, which shows network status in real time, and permits the operator to monitor and control network operations, including the diagnosis of problems. The interface with the operator is by a graphic display of the network status on a color monitor. The network management system can also be used for redefining network parameters, for adding and deleting remote network locations, for changing protocols and for collecting and reporting operational information and providing management reports. In addition, the system can be expanded if the hub/gateway is shared among several customers, to permit each customer to have such capabilities. The network management system can be installed remotely from the hub/gateway location if required.
 
Systems Integration Products:    The Company also integrates equipment from other manufacturers into systems or earth stations manufactured by the Company. These products include antennas, radio frequency equipment, satellite modems, voice and data multiplexers, local area network routers and video communications equipment. The Company expects to continue to sell such systems on an individual project basis as part of its direct sales effort.
 
Services
 
Project Management:    The Company offers engineering, project management, and contract services in support of products sold.
 
Custom Development:    From time to time, the Company receives orders from its customers and distributors for product features, new products or software protocols and functions that enhance the Company’s product lines. While such custom development orders do not contribute significantly to the Company’s revenues, they demonstrate the Company’s ability to be responsive to market requirements.
 
Technical Support Services:    The Company provides technical support services to its installed base of customers either directly or through third-parties. Services include technical support, installations, maintenance, training and spares provisioning.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
The Company sells its satellite communication products directly and through international agents and alliances, which are supported by the Company’s sales and marketing personnel. The Company continues to focus its sales efforts on the following:
 
 
 
Expanding global coverage through its highly trained, direct sales personnel with regional responsibilities, and through developing strategic alliances with larger organizations with international presence.

8


 
 
 
Identifying sales opportunities that exist with newly licensed service providers in international markets, particularly those focused on providing rural telephony services.
 
 
 
Identifying capable, local distributors and replacing, if necessary, its current distributors and alliances.
 
 
 
Supplying highly integrated, low cost solutions to customers through the Company’s product offerings.
 
Export sales and sales to end users outside the United States, as a percentage of revenues, were approximately 94%, 96% and 93% in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
Backlog
 
The Company’s backlog represents future revenues that the Company expects to be earned from sales orders or sales contracts for products or services. At December 31, 2001, the Company’s backlog was approximately $11,100,000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company’s backlog was approximately $9,600,000. The Company manufactures its products on the basis of customer orders and its forecast of near-term demand from its customers. The Company conducts virtually all of its business with foreign customers in United States currency and accordingly, is generally not subject to foreign currency fluctuations. Customary terms of business for product sales can be a substantial deposit on order with the remainder guaranteed by an irrevocable letter of credit or, when appropriate, open account.
 
Manufacturing
 
The Company’s products are assembled by the Company using subsystems and circuit boards supplied by subcontractors. The Company’s products use a number of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) and customized components or subassemblies produced by a limited number of suppliers. In the event that such suppliers are unable to fulfill the Company’s requirements or if a subcontractor experiences quality problems, the Company may experience an interruption in production until an alternative source of supply is developed or such quality issues are resolved. The Company maintains an inventory of certain long lead time components and subassemblies to limit the potential for such an interruption. Although, the Company has test procedures that should identify most product defects on components and subassemblies received from subcontractors, there can be no assurance that the Company will detect all product defects prior to shipment, which could result in warranty claims against the Company. The Company believes that there are a number of companies capable of providing replacements for the types of unique chips, customized components and subassemblies used in its products. With the introduction of the new SpaceWeb Olante and the SES Solante, there will be more commonality between our products at the subsystem level which will simplify the manufacturing process. In addition, the Company will outsource the manufacture of certain of the subsystems for products whenever it makes commercial sense to do so.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company’s research and development efforts are devoted to the design and implementation of satellite and wireless radio communications network hardware and software. The Company’s future growth depends on adaptation of its existing satellite communications products to new applications, and the introduction of new communications products that will gain market acceptance and benefit from the Company’s established international distribution channels. Accordingly, the Company is actively applying its communications expertise to design and develop new hardware and software products and enhance existing products.
 
STM’s R&D efforts are primarily focused on reducing the overall cost of ownership of its products to its customers, thereby expanding the addressable market size. In addition, the Company may opportunistically acquire products, technologies or companies consistent with its commercial objectives to serve the evolving needs of the Company’s customer base.

9


 
In 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred expenses of $5,266,000, $5,417,000 and $5,354,000, respectively, on research and development activities. During this period, the Company completed the development of the SpaceWeb Olante, SES Solante and upgraded its hub/gateway products.
 
Competition
 
The Company has a number of competitors in the satellite communications field, most of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and technological resources than the Company. The Company’s primary competitors include larger companies such as Hughes Network Systems, Gilat Satellite Networks and Viasat. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience increased competition in the future from these or other competitors, which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue to market its products or services. The Company believes that it has been able to compete with these companies by offering flexible and cost effective products and utilizing the resources of local distributors, forming strategic alliances with major corporations, and by emphasizing product features and functionality based upon the Company’s proprietary hardware and software.
 
However, most of the Company’s competitors offer products, which have one or more of the features and functions similar to those offered by the Company. The Company believes that the quality, performance and capabilities of its products, its ability to customize certain network functions for efficient utilization of satellite capacity, coupled with the Company’s networking skills in integrating third party products into its product portfolio, have contributed to the Company’s ability to compete. The Company’s major competitors have the resources available to develop products with features and functions, competitive with, or superior to, those offered by the Company. There can be no assurance that such competitors will not develop such features or functions, or that the Company will be able to maintain a lower cost advantage for these products.
 
Patents and Intellectual Property
 
The Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and contractual rights to protect its technology and software. The Company attempts to protect its trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with its customers, suppliers, employees and consultants. While the Company has filed certain patent applications, the Company believes that the improvement of existing products, reliance upon trade secrets, copyrights and unpatented proprietary know-how and the development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage because, among other reasons, patents often provide only narrow protection, which may not provide a competitive advantage in areas of rapid technological change. With respect to the Company’s venture into new fields, the Company believes that patent protection may be necessary. Accordingly, the Company has applied for and been awarded two patents and intends to pursue patent protection for additional products developed by the Company, for which one application is currently pending.
 
Government Regulations
 
The Communications Act of 1934, as amended, gives the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) jurisdiction over the communications products and services provided by the Company in the United States. Part 25 of the FCC’s rules and regulations governs the operation and use of satellite transponders and requires authorization for construction and operation of each transmitting earth station, including VSATs installed on customers’ premises. The Company’s international sales are also subject to Department of Commerce regulations for export of its products, which usually meet general license requirements depending on the country of destination.

Employees
 
As of December 31, 2001, the Company employed 137 people on a full-time basis, including 69 employees in engineering/research and development, 33 employees in manufacturing, 19 employees in sales and marketing and 16 employees in administration and accounting.
 
The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory. The employees and the Company are not parties to any collective bargaining agreements.
 
Risk Factors
 
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS CERTAIN FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. IN ADDITION, THE COMPANY MAY FROM TIME TO TIME MAKE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS, ORALLY OR IN WRITING. THE WORDS “ESTIMATE”, “PROJECT”, “POTENTIAL”, “INTENDED”, “EXPECT”, “BELIEVE” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS OR WORDS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED OR SUGGESTED IN ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF A WIDE VARIETY OF FACTORS AND CONDITIONS, AMONG OTHERS, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING RISKS, LONG TERM CYCLES INVOLVED IN COMPLETING MAJOR CONTRACTS, PARTICULARLY IN FOREIGN MARKETS, INCREASING COMPETITIVE PRESSURES, ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY’S BROADBAND PRODUCTS, GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, THE TIMING OF NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISKS INVOLVED IN FOREIGN MARKETS AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES, THE TIMING OF OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENDITURES AND OTHER RISKS IDENTIFIED BELOW.
 
BECAUSE OF THESE AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY’S OPERATING RESULTS, PAST FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AN INDICATOR OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE, AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT USE HISTORICAL TRENDS TO ANTICIPATE RESULTS OR TRENDS IN FUTURE PERIODS.
 
Future Capital Requirements
 
The Company generated net cash from operations of approximately $50,000 in the year ended December 31, 2001. In the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company used cash in operations of $3,943,000 and $822,000, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate positive cash flows from operations in fiscal 2002 or thereafter. In addition, the Company’s quarterly sales cycle can make future financial results less predictable. Like many technology companies, STM generally sells and ships more hardware in the third month of each quarter than in the first and second months. The Company may also build products early in the quarter in anticipation of demand later in the quarter which can adversely impact inventory levels and cash resources. The Company’s ability to fund its capital requirements out of available cash, traditional sources of financing and cash generated from operations will depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the commercial success of the Company’s products and services and the Company’s ability to collect payments from sales agreements. Should the Company’s business increase significantly, the Company may be required to seek additional funds through debt or equity financings, product licensing or distribution transactions or some other source of financing in order to provide sufficient working capital for the Company. The Company believes that such alternative sources of financing are potentially available, if required. However, such sources of finance may not be available at favorable terms, which may lead to the issuance of additional equity securities by the Company that could result in substantial dilution to stockholders. If the Company is required to raise additional working capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional working capital on acceptable terms, if at all.

History of Losses and Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results
 
Results of operations may fluctuate significantly and will depend upon numerous factors, including the competitive environment in which the Company operates, the delays that arise when operating in an international environment, the long lead time and extended sales effort required to secure larger value orders that the Company focuses on obtaining, the continued need to invest in the development of new products and in the enhancement of existing products, the risk of inventory obsolescence and the exposure to disputes by international customers.
 
The Company has incurred operating losses of $972,000, $7,932,000 and $8,852,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Although, in 2001 the Company improved its operating performance by increasing revenues by 74% compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, there can be no assurance that there will not be operating losses in future periods.
 
The Company’s quarterly operating results fluctuate primarily due to the timing of product sales. Sales of the Company’s products are generally consummated through large orders, which require a long lead-time and an extended sales effort. The Company’s sales in any quarter can be dependent on orders booked and shipped in that quarter. As a result, the precise timing of the recognition of revenue from an order can have a significant impact on the Company’s total revenues and operating results for a particular period. The Company’s operating results for a particular period could be adversely affected if an order is cancelled or rescheduled by customers or cannot be shipped in time to recognize revenue during that period due to, for example, unanticipated manufacturing, testing, shipping or product acceptance delays. In addition, the Company’s expense levels are based, in large part, on the Company’s expectations as to future revenues and are, therefore, relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue levels fall below expectations, net income will be disproportionately and adversely affected. The impact of these and other factors on the Company’s revenues and operating results in any future period cannot be forecast with any degree of certainty. Accordingly, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
 
Dependence on Emerging Markets
 
The Company generated approximately 44%, 32% and 44% of its revenues from customers and users in Latin and South America in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, 18%, 14% and 25% of its revenues in Africa and the Middle East in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 25%, 42% and 19% of its revenue in Asia in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. While in any individual year, the Company’s revenues generally represent new projects to new or existing customers in new or existing geographic regions, there can be no assurance that economic conditions in the emerging economies will not negatively impact the level of revenues generated by the Company in foreign markets in future years.
 
Dependence on Rural Telephony Market
 
The Company’s strategy includes focusing on selling rural telephony networking infrastructure and terminals for use in developing countries. There can be no assurance that a substantial market for rural telephony equipment in developing countries will ever develop, or if such a market does develop, that fixed-site VSAT-based equipment will capture a significant portion of that market. The Company’s ability to penetrate this market will be dependent on its ability to develop equipment and software, which can be utilized by regional and local service providers to market and sell the use of such systems. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the regional and local service providers will be able to successfully market such services to rural subscribers.
 
No Assurance of Growth in Satellite Broadband Market
 
The Company’s SpaceWeb Olante family of products addresses the growing demand for high bandwidth applications and Internet access via satellite. This market is highly competitive and due to the decline in the

12


telecom sector, in general, there can be no assurance that broadband will continue to grow at rates experienced in recent years, on an ongoing basis. In addition, consumers may choose from a variety of broadband products to obtain high bandwidth internet access and there is no assurance that consumers will adopt satellite-based products or that satellite-based broadband products will capture a significant portion of the broadband market. The Company’s ability to penetrate this market will depend on its ability to develop strategic alliances, continually reduce product costs, develop further refinements to its products and successfully develop additional distribution channels for its products. However, the Company believes its success to date in selling its broadband products is a result of its focus on the non-consumer broadband market where its products can command higher prices and resulting higher margins than would be attainable in the consumer broadband market. Failure to achieve market penetration in the broadband market could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition.
 
Dependence on VSAT Market
 
A significant part of the Company’s product revenues are derived from sales of VSAT communications networks. A significant slowdown in the market for VSAT communications networks and services or the replacement of the existing VSAT technology by an alternative technology could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Intense Competition
 
The market for the Company’s products is intensely competitive. Many of the companies that have developed competing technologies and that market competing products, including Hughes Network Systems, Gilat Satellite Networks and Viasat have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective or less costly than any which have been or are being developed by the Company or that would render the Company’s technologies or products obsolete or not competitive or that their greater financial resources will not enable them to penetrate new markets for VSAT products more quickly than the Company. In response to those market conditions, the Company has recently introduced the lower cost SES Solante and SpaceWeb Olante products and has increased its local direct sales force in target markets, to improve our competitive position. The Company also competes against various companies that offer communications network systems based on other technologies (e.g., terrestrial lines and frame relay or radio and microwave transmission) that in certain circumstances can be competitive in price and performance with the Company’s products. There can be no assurance that these or other technologies will not capture a significant part of the markets in which the Company’s VSAT products compete.
 
Rapid Technological Change
 
The technology underlying the Company’s products and services is subject to rapid change. The Company’s success will depend in part upon its continuing ability to respond quickly and successfully to technological advances by developing and introducing new products. Most of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources than the Company. If one or more of the Company’s competitors were to introduce competing products with superior technological features, such introduction could have a material adverse effect on the success of the Company’s products.
 
Dependence On Key Personnel
 
The Company’s current and future performance is significantly dependent on the continued active participation of Emil Youssefzadeh, the Company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. Should Mr. Youssefzadeh leave or otherwise become unavailable to the Company, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. The Company has obtained a “key man” life insurance policy in the amount of $5,000,000 on the life of Mr. Youssefzadeh. In addition to Mr. Youssefzadeh,

13


the Company’s future success depends upon its ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified management and technical personnel. The Company faces intense competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain such personnel.
 
Dependence On Key Suppliers And Manufacturers
 
Certain components and subsystems used by the Company in its existing products are purchased from single source suppliers and manufacturers. The Company’s products use a number of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) and customized components or subassemblies produced by a limited number of suppliers. While the Company maintains an inventory of components and believes that alternative suppliers and manufacturers for all such components are currently available at reasonable terms, an interruption in the delivery of these components may have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance as to when or whether the Company would be able to locate any such alternative suppliers. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter future component shortages or other disruptions in the supply of materials. Delays associated with raw materials or component shortages could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Futhermore, the Company depends on its suppliers and subcontractors to manufacture quality products. Although the Company has implemented test procedures that should identify most product defects on components and subassemblies received from subcontractors, there can be no assurance that the Company will detect all product defects prior to shipment, which could result in warranty claims against the Company. In addition, there can be exposure to inventory obsolescence associated with entering into a high-volume and single-source contracts with vendors.
 
Sales To Foreign Customers
 
The Company historically has generated substantially all of its revenue in overseas markets. While the Company is making efforts to penetrate the domestic market with its products, the Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to continue to successfully market voice and data VSAT communication networks in international markets. The Company’s export sales and sales to end users outside the United States, as a percentage of total revenues, were approximately 94%, 96% and 93% in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As a result, the Company is subject to various risks, including currency fluctuations, greater difficulty of administering business globally, compliance with multiple and potentially conflicting regulatory requirements, such as export and import requirements, tariffs and other barriers, differences in intellectual property protections, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer accounts receivable cycles and delays in resolving customer disputes, repatriation of earnings, export control restrictions, overlapping or differing tax structures, political and economic instability and general trade restrictions. These risks have had and may continue to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the satellite network service industries in the Company’s target markets are highly regulated, which may limit the number and identity of potential service providers to which the Company can sell its products. Given the high degree of regulation in the Company’s target market, and given the fact that such markets, which are primarily developing countries, involve greater political and economic instability, there can be no assurance that the Company’s products will achieve general market acceptance in the Company’s target markets. The Company’s foreign sales are generally invoiced in U.S. dollars. However, as the Company expands its international sales into new markets, the Company may be paid in foreign currencies with greater frequency, and exposure to losses in foreign currency transactions may increase. In addition, if the relative value of the U.S. dollar in comparison to the Company’s foreign customers’ currency should increase, the resulting effective price increase of the Company’s products to such foreign customers could result in decreased sales, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Dependence On Proprietary Rights; Risk of Infringement Claims
 
The Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and contractual rights to protect its technology and software. The Company attempts to protect its trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with its customers, suppliers, employees and consultants. While the Company has filed certain patent applications, the Company believes that the improvement of existing

14


products, reliance upon trade secrets, copyrights and unpatented proprietary know-how and the development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage because, among other reasons, patents often provide only narrow protection, which may not provide a competitive advantage in areas of rapid technological change. The use of trade secrets and copyrights will not necessarily protect the Company from the use by other persons of its technology or software, or technology or software that is similar to that which is embodied in the Company’s trade secrets or copyrights. There can be no assurance that others will not be able to duplicate the Company’s technology and software in whole or in part. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which the Company’s products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold may not protect the Company’s products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The inability of the Company to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. With respect to the Company’s venture into new fields, the Company believes that patent protection may be necessary. Accordingly, the Company has applied for and been awarded two patents and intends to pursue patent protection for additional products developed by the Company, for which one application is currently pending. In addition, as the number of patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the Company’s industry increases, and as the coverage of these rights and the functionality of the products of new markets further overlap, the Company believes that its products may increasingly become the subject of infringement claims. The Company may in the future be notified that it is infringing upon certain intellectual property rights of others. Although the Company has not received any such notification to date, and there are no pending or threatened intellectual property lawsuits against the Company, there can be no assurance that such litigation or infringement claims will not occur in the future. Any such litigation or claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Dependence on a Limited Number of Customers and Credit Risk
 
A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived from a limited number of customers in any given year. The Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to establish and maintain relationships with such customers. Revenues attributable to the Company’s top 5 customers in 2001 constituted approximately 62% of the Company’s revenues. DTPI, the Company’s former affiliate until December 2001 (when the Company disposed of it remaining ownership) contributed approximately 25% to the Company’s revenues in 2001.There is not expected to be significant repeat business from DTPI in 2002. In addition, a decrease in revenues generated from any of these other customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition. However, in any individual year, the Company’s revenues generally represent new projects to new or existing customers in new or existing geographic regions The Company generates a substantial amount of its revenues from individually significant orders, primarily on an international basis. These sales are on a letter of credit or a similar guaranteed basis or on an open account basis. Generally, credit on an open account basis is only extended to customers with substantial financial resources or where the customer has demonstrated the ability to pay or to public utilities that are government owned in the country to which the product is shipped. There can be no assurance, however, that these customers will not encounter liquidity problems that could result in exceptional delays in the payment of or the inability to pay, accounts receivable balances. In the event of such an occurrence, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. (See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, which discusses sales to principal customers.)
 
Possible Volatility of Stock Prices and Listing Requirements
 
The market prices for securities of technology companies, including the Company, have been volatile. Quarter to quarter variations in operating results, changes in earnings estimates by analysts, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, announcements of major contract awards and other events or general market factors may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the securities of many technology companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the companies’ operating performance. These

15


conditions may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the Company trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “STMI”. Under updated Nasdaq listing standards, the Company is required to maintain stockholder’s equity of $10 million effective November 1, 2002. As of December 31, 2001, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was $10,752,000. However, the Company has incurred operating losses in each of the last five years, although in 2001, the operating losses were reduced substantially and the Company generated net income in 2001 due to non-operating gains. Therefore, the Company will need to remain profitable or raise additional capital to comply with the updated Nasdaq rules. Failure to meet listing requirements may result in the Company being moved from the National Market to the SmallCap Market or being de-listed. As a result, investors could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of the Company’s Common Stock and the trading price per share could be reduced.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for 5,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, the rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of which may be fixed by the Board of Directors without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The Company’s charter documents prescribe procedures for the nomination and election of directors and limit the ability of stockholders to take actions by written consent, which could make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors or take other actions. Further, the Company’s Bylaws include a “fair price provision”, which requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors to approve certain business combinations. In addition, the Company’s stock option plan provides for the acceleration of vesting of options granted under such plan in the event of certain transactions, which result in a change of control of the Company. Further, Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware prohibits the Company from engaging in certain business combinations with interested stockholders. These provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without action by the stockholders and therefore could adversely affect the price of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
Control by Directors, Executive Officers and Affiliated Entities
 
As of March 22, 2002, the Company’s officers, directors and their affiliates owned approximately 20% of the outstanding Common Stock. If such stockholders were to act in concert, they might be able to control substantially all matters requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company, including the election of directors. Such concentration of ownership could discourage or prevent a change in control of the Company. See “Principal Stockholders.”
 
Potential Product Liability Claims
 
Although to date the Company has not experienced any product liability claims, the sale and support of products by the Company involves the risk of such claims. The Company maintains product liability insurance in amounts it believes are customary for similar businesses in the industry; however, a successful product liability claim brought against the Company, in excess of the amount for which the Company is insured, or for which coverage is not provided under the Company’s insurance policies, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
ITEM 2—PROPERTIES
 
The Company’s principal offices are located in a 62,000 square foot facility in Irvine, California, which houses all functions including manufacturing, engineering, accounting, administration, marketing, sales, and service. The Company purchased this facility on July 28, 1994 and refinanced the facility in September 1999. As a result of the refinancing, the Company issued a promissory mortgage note (the “Mortgage Note”) in the amount of $7.0 million. The Mortgage Note is secured by the Company’s land and building and related fixtures and accrues interest at 7% per annum. The Mortgage Note requires monthly principal and interest payments of

16


$46,571 and is being amortized over a thirty-year period and matures in November 2014, at which time all remaining principal and accrued interest is due. In addition, the Company’s lender has a second security interest on the Company’s land and buildings as part of the security for a line of credit of $3,300,000. The Company currently subleases approximately 19,100 square feet of its Irvine facility to another Company under a four-year lease.
 
ITEM 3—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company is involved as both plaintiff and defendant in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not expect that these matters will individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or its financial condition.
 
On October 28, 2001, the Company obtained a Peruvian court injunction against OSIPTEL, a Peruvian government entity, and Gilat-To-Home (“Gilat”), controlled by Gilat Satellite Networks, Ltd. of Israel in connection with a $27,800,000 contract to provide a VSAT network for phone services in Peru. STM, in consortium with another Peruvian company was originally announced the winner of the competitive bidding for the contract in September 2000. Gilat’s original bid was approximately $10,000,000 higher than STM’s consortium. The court ruling ordered Gilat and OSIPTEL to suspend work immediately on the VSAT contract. The injunction was issued after the court found sufficient evidence that Gilat and OSIPTEL violated Peruvian law regarding competitive bidding for a government contract by allowing Gilat and others to reduce their bid to match that of STM’s consortium and revoking the award to STM. Such injunction was subsequently overturned in favor of Gilat. However, STM has appealed the decision and the matter is currently under appeal.
 
Additionally, STM filed a lawsuit on October 22, 2001, in the Superior Court of Californian against Gilat Satellite Networks, Ltd. and its subsidiary rStar for Gilat’s improper interference with STM’s winning bid. Several of the suit’s allegations are that Gilat had improper privileged access to government information that allowed Gilat to make a public announcement of government actions even though government records indicate that these actions had not yet occurred, and that Gilat used such privileged access to help recover its irregular $10,000,000 price reduction. On October 6, 2001, OSIPTEL issued a new tender with a budget of $12,000,000 that for practical reasons, only Gilat could be the main beneficiary.

ITEM 6—SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
 
In June 1998, the Company completed the sale of its majority-owned subsidiary, Telecom Multimedia Systems, Inc. (“TMSI”), to Inter-Tel, Incorporated (“Inter-Tel”) pursuant to which Inter-Tel agreed to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities of TMSI for approximately $25 million in cash. Gains of $9,950,000, $2,964,000 and $840,000 (net of costs and reserves considered necessary) were realized and are included in the consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. All such gains have been classified as gains on sale of assets for the years ended December 31, 1998 through 2000. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.)
 
In 1997, the Company was awarded, through its then 100% owned subsidiary, SkyOnline, Inc., formerly known as Direc-To-Phone International, Inc. (“DTPI”), two long-term service contracts to provide rural telephony services in Mexico and Venezuela. In 1998, DTPI renegotiated its long-term service contract with its Mexican partner whereby DTPI was paid approximately $9,500,000 (before expenses) for the sale and installation of remote terminal equipment utilized in the provision of telephony services. DTPI retained ownership of certain gateway infrastructure equipment. Both the remote and gateway equipment were classified as part of total assets at December 31, 1997. As a result of the revision of the agreement, the sales of remote equipment were classified as revenue in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations data for 1998 and the gateway equipment was classified as part of total assets in the consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1998. There were no material revenues associated with this Mexican customer since 1998.
 
Arising from the award of the long-term service contract in Venezuela in 1998, DTPI formed Altair, S.A. with the national telephone company in Venezuela to provide telephony services in Venezuela. Through DTPI, the Company owned 49% of this joint venture and accounted for its investment on an equity basis. The equity investment of $4,151,000 in Altair is included in the consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1998. Revenues of approximately $740,000 and $3,600,000, representing sales to Altair by DTPI, were included in

18


total revenues in 1999 and 1998, respectively, and the equity share of the net loss of Altair for 1999 of $59,000 and the net income of Altair for 1998 of $66,000 was included as part of the net loss in the consolidated statement of operations data. The revenues and share of the net loss recognized in 1999 for Altair represent the revenues and net loss through June 17, 1999. (See Notes 4 and 14 to consolidated financial statements.)
 
In March 1998, the Company completed a $10 million equity offering of common stock of STM for $4,000,000 and mandatory redeemable preferred stock of DTPI for $6,000,000; representing 25% of the voting stock of DTPI. The net proceeds from the issuance of the mandatory redeemable preferred stock in DTPI plus accrued dividends of $6,355,000 were classified as redeemable minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1998. The accrued dividends of $450,000 for 1998 and $275,000 for 1999 (through June 17, 1999), were classified as part of the net loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
 
On June 17, 1999, the Company and DTPI completed a financing whereby the Company sold shares in DTPI representing approximately 31% of the voting stock of DTPI for approximately $7,100,000 to REMEC, Inc. (“REMEC”) and Pequot Private Equity Fund (“Pequot”). The proceeds comprised cash of $2,219,000, net of transaction costs of $281,000, a reduction in accounts payable of approximately $2,300,000 and an offset against future purchases of inventory for approximately $2,300,000. In addition, DTPI also repaid STM $2,500,000 of a $10,000,000 note receivable.
 
As a result of the June 17, 1999 financing, the Company reduced its ownership in the voting stock of DTPI from 75% to approximately 44% and relinquished operating control of DTPI. Due to losses incurred by DTPI from inception through June 17, 1999, STM’s equity investment in DTPI (including a remaining balance of $7,500,000 from the $10,000,000 note receivable from DTPI) was reduced to zero and STM discontinued accruing losses of DTPI. The consolidated statements of operations data for 1999 includes the results of DTPI through June 17, 1999.
 
Subsequent to the reduction of STM’s ownership to approximately 44%, STM recognized revenue on sales to DTPI. (See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.)
 
DTPI repaid STM $3,750,000 of the note receivable in March 2000 and the remaining balance of such note receivable of $3,750,000 was converted into Preferred Stock of DTPI in June 2000. (See Note 4 to consolidated financial statements.) STM also sold shares in DTPI for $440,000 in 2000. $3,175,000 of the repayment of the note receivable in 2000 is classified as “recovery of note receivable from affiliate” and the balance of the repayment along with the proceeds from the sale of the shares in DTPI have been classified as “Gain on disposal of affiliate” in the statement of operations data for 2000.
 
In 2001, the Company disposed of its remaining ownership in DTPI for $4,839,000 (net of disposal costs incurred). Such sale proceeds have been classified as “Gain on disposal of affiliate” in the Statement of Operations data for 2001.
 
Arising primarily from the devaluation of the Brazilian Real, the Company incurred foreign currency losses of $1,906,000 in 1999 that comprised losses on cash balances, on certain account receivable balances (where the Company negotiated a settlement of its long-term receivable due to the currency devaluation) and on other accounts receivable balances (where the customer had only partially agreed to compensate the Company for the reduction in the value of the Brazilian Real). Foreign currency losses were $341,000 in 2000 due primarily to a reduction in an accounts receivable balance in Brazil where the customer would not reimburse the Company for additional losses due to the devaluation of the Brazilian real.
 
The consolidated statement of operations data and loss per share of common stock with respect to the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are derived from audited financial statements included elsewhere herein.

The results for the fourth quarter of 2000, included charges of approximately $4,900,000, which comprised inventory reserves of approximately $3,300,000 and approximately $1,600,000 for bad debt provisions and settlements. The inventory reserves of $3,300,000 comprised excess inventory associated with a version of the Company’s products that was to be replaced in 2001, obsolescence for certain components that were designed out of the Company’s products and a reserve established for certain components that were required to be valued at estimated net realizable value. Total inventory reserves established in 2000 were approximately $4,950,000. The additional reserve established in the fourth quarter of 2000 was due to the Company formalizing a development plan to replace existing products and thereby increasing the Company’s exposure primarily to excess inventories and the Company finalizing a sales price for certain components in inventory at December 31, 2000. The increase in the reserves for bad debts and settlements established in the fourth quarter of 2000 was due to the Company agreeing to settle a customer dispute and due to certain occurrences that significantly increased the risk of non- collection of certain customer balances in the fourth quarter and prior to the release of results for the fourth quarter of 2000. The results for the fourth quarter of 2001, included relatively higher manufacturing costs and additional inventory reserves totaling approximately $1,100,000 partially offset by bad debts recoveries and a credit for outside services associated with a research and development project totaling approximately $750,000.

ITEM 7—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Background
 
STM is a developer, manufacturer, supplier and service provider of wireless-based satellite communications infrastructure and user terminal products utilized in public and private telecommunications networks for broadband and telephony applications. These networks support IP based data, fax, voice and video communication and are used to either bypass or extend terrestrial networks. The Company’s product line is based on proprietary hardware and software and primarily consists of two-way earth stations referred to as VSATs (very small aperture terminals), associated infrastructure equipment and software, transceivers, modems and other networking equipment. Historically, the Company has focused its sales efforts on the international marketplace, particularly developing countries. For the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 94% of the Company’s revenue was generated in the international markets through direct sales representatives and foreign distributors. The Company’s customers include government agencies, telephone companies, multi-location corporations and others.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Therefore, on an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those for bad debts provisions, inventory reserves and other obligations. For estimated bad debts, the Company reviews on an individual account basis the age of the receivable, all circumstances surrounding the transaction that gave rise to the receivable and whether the customer continues to have the financial resources to pay the receivable as of the balance sheet date and prior to the issuance of the financial statements for the respective period. For estimated inventory reserves, the Company performs a review of the higher value inventory items and applies the results of the review to the lower value inventory items by product category. The respective inventory reserve is based upon the historical activity in the inventory item; its expected future use based upon changes to the design of a particular product, whether the product into which the inventory item is incorporated is expected to be discontinued in the near future and whether there are any lower of cost or market considerations. For other obligations, where judgment is required, the Company reviews the circumstances surrounding the obligation and evaluates the facts and circumstances to determine an appropriate level of accrual for such obligation.
 
There are a number of critical accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operation.
 
Sales of the Company’s communication products and related installed software are generally recognized upon shipment when the title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer. Sales of the Company’s products to distributors are normally not subject to right of return. Service revenues are recognized as services are completed. Generally, the Company’s sales are multiple element arrangements and sales contracts or sales orders are supported by a detailed pricing schedule for each element (including services) of the contract or sales order. The installation of the Company’s equipment may be performed by third parties, although new customers generally rely on the Company to commission and install the initial equipment. When there are acceptance criteria to be met, generally there is an acceptance document agreed between the Company and the customer prior to the shipment, such that the Company can determine if there is any material risk of non-acceptance. For repeat customers, the Company is very familiar with the customers network environment, such that, it can be determined if there is any material risk of non-acceptance. If it is determined that there is a significant risk of non-acceptance, the Company will defer revenue on all shipments of product until acceptance has occurred. Where there is a payment installment tied to acceptance or where partial shipments of product are allowed under

22


the respective sales contract, revenue is recognized for shipments of product that have occurred and where the Company has a legal basis for an enforceable claim for those elements delivered irrespective of whether the Company performs the installation and commissioning of the equipment.
 
Inventory valuation and the appropriate cost of sales for product for a given period can require the exercise of judgment on an ongoing basis. On an annual basis, the Company sets its standards based on expected purchase costs of products and components that are incorporated into the products. Manufacturing overhead is estimated and absorbed into the product cost based upon assumed activity levels for the year. Such standards are reevaluated on a quarterly basis based on the level of variance experienced. Due to the relatively high dollar value of individual sales in a given period and the materiality of such individual sales to the results for the period, there can be significant variations in the level of activity in a given period depending upon the timing of individual sales. Should the Company assume an incorrect level of activity in a given year, there may be certain quarters where the results for the period are negatively impacted by a disproportionate level of under-absorbed manufacturing overhead.
 
Related Party Transactions
 
The Company, on an ongoing basis, has had transactions with DTPI, the Company’s former 100% owned subsidiary. From 1998 through 2001, the Company has reduced its ownership in DTPI, such that at December 31, 2001, the Company’s ownership was reduced to zero. Effective June 1999, the Company deconsolidated the results of DTPI.
 
In 1998, STM and DTPI negotiated a Product Supply Agreement that set out agreed pricing of products to be supplied by STM to DTPI. The Product Supply Agreement required STM to supply certain product to DTPI at relatively favorable pricing to DTPI. The original Product Supply Agreement required DTPI to purchase certain volumes of equipment from STM to retain these favorable prices. This volume commitment was eliminated in June 1999 as part of the DTPI and STM refinancing. STM supplied equipment under the product Supply Agreement through the year-ended December 31, 2000. In 2001, STM and DTPI negotiated a new Product Supply Agreement under which STM earned more commercially standard margins on the sale of equipment. All transactions between STM and DTPI were negotiated on an arms length basis as DTPI either had independent third party investors or management independent of STM, negotiating on its behalf. (See Notes 4 and 14 of the consolidated financial statements.)
 
There are no other Related Party relationships that have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Year Ended December 31, 2001, Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000
 
Total revenues were $29,601,000 in 2001, compared to $17,059,000 in 2000, representing an increase of 74% over the prior year period. Product revenues were $26,443,000 in 2001, compared to $15,595,000 for the corresponding period of 2000, representing an increase of 70% over the prior year period. Service revenues were $3,158,000 in 2001, compared to $1,464,000 in 2000, representing an increase of 116% over the prior year period.
 
The increase in revenues in 2001 compared to 2000 reflects increased sales to end users primarily in Latin and South America but also in all other areas of the world in which STM sells products. The Company has reported six successive quarters of revenue growth beginning with the third quarter of 2000. Revenues have increased from $5,010,000 in the third quarter 2000 to approximately $8,490,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001. Management believes that the increase in revenues in general are a result of initiatives started in prior years through expanding the number of direct sales personnel in target markets and focusing on winning repeat business from existing customers. In Latin and South America, revenues increased from $5,459,000 in 2000 to $12,976,000 in 2001, primarily as a result of increased sales to two existing customers, one of which was DTPI, where sales increased from approximately $3,000,000 in 2000 to approximately $7,400,000 in 2001. The relatively higher increase in service revenue of 116% compared to product revenues of 70% primarily reflects increased out of warranty repair service revenue from two customers and higher network service revenue from one customer. Management is focused on achieving continued growth in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001; however, there can be no assurance that continued quarterly growth can be sustained and as in prior years, the

Company’s revenues in total, by region and by period can vary significantly depending upon the timing of projects, the value of individual projects, the level of risk of non-acceptance for a project and other factors.
 
The gross profit percentage earned for 2001 and 2000 was 33.5% and 10.8%, respectively. The gross profit for 2001 of 33.5% included an increase in inventory reserves and a high level of manufacturing rework costs of approximately $1,100,000. The gross profit for 2000 of 10.8% was positively impacted by approximately $2,100,000 associated with a settlement with a vendor and a credit against inventory purchases and negatively impacted by approximately $4,950,000 for increased inventory reserves. Adjusting for these amounts, the gross profit for 2001 would have been 37% compared to 28% for 2000. The increased gross profit percentage in 2001 compared to 2000 reflects a higher negotiated gross profit on certain 2001 sales and the effect of the overall higher volume of sales in 2001 compared to 2000 relative to certain fixed direct costs. With the introduction of the Company’s new lower cost SpaceWeb Olante and SES Solante products in 2002, the Company expects to earn on average an increased gross profit percentage on its sales during 2002, however, the level of gross profit earned can vary by customer, by region and by project, as well as with the overall volume of sales in any given period and there is no assurance that the gross profit percentage will increase. Furthermore, the Company may be forced to reduce the selling price of its products in response to its competitors pricing strategies or practices. Such reduction in selling price would reduce the gross profit earned in any given period.
 
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for 2001 decreased to $5,632,000 (19% of revenue) from $7,538,000 (44.2% of revenue) for the corresponding period of the prior year. SG&A expenses in 2001 include a credit of $633,000 associated with the recovery of bad debts previously reserved. SG&A expenses in 2000 include approximately $1,600,000 in increased bad debt reserves and settlements. Excluding these credits and charges from both years, SG&A costs would have been $6,265,000 in 2001 compared to $5,938,000 in 2000, reflecting increased sales costs due to the increased revenues in 2001 and legal costs associated with litigation that the Company is pursuing in Peru associated with a customer contract. See Item 3: Legal Proceedings.
 
Research and development (R&D) expenses for 2001 decreased to $5,266,000 (17.8% of revenues) from $5,417,000 (31.7% of revenues) for the corresponding period of the prior year. The 2001 cost reduction as compared to the corresponding period of 2000 was due primarily to a credit for an accrual no longer required in 2001 for outside services associated with a research and development project. However, the level of R&D costs can vary depending on the stage reached in a product development cycle. 2001 development efforts were focused on reducing unit product cost, optimizing product design, and improving manufacturability through creating commonality in production platforms for different products. Such efforts will continue in 2002. Management believes that these efforts will yield future positive results in terms of higher gross margins and improved inventory control. However, as discussed previously, there can be no assurance that such higher margins will be achieved.
 
The recovery of the note receivable from affiliate of $3,175,000 in 2000 was related to the $3,750,000 received from DTPI as a result of DTPI’s financing (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). $3,175,000 of this recovery was classified as part of operating income and the balance of $575,000 was classified as a gain on disposal of affiliate in the consolidated financial statements for 2000.
 
The foreign currency gain of $10,000 and loss of $341,000 recognized in 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflect in 2000 a write-down of certain accounts receivable balances from a customer in Brazil whereby the customer did not reimburse the Company for changes in the exchange rate between the Brazilian real and the United States dollar and ongoing gain and losses relating to the Company’s Thailand operation. The Company conducts substantially all of its international sales in the U.S. dollars.
 
The gain on sale of assets of $840,000 in 2000 represented a gain on the sale of substantially all the assets of TMSI. In 2000, upon the resolution of a customer claim, the Company re-evaluated certain accruals that were established at the time of the sale, resulting in the recognition of additional gains on the sale of the assets of TMSI. There was no similar gains recognized in 2001. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

25


 
In 2001 and 2000, the Company disposed of shares in DTPI resulting in net gains of $4,839,000 and $440,000, respectively, which have been classified as gains on disposal of affiliate in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Combined with the $575,000 associated with the note recovery from DTPI, the resulting gain on disposal of affiliate was $1,015,000 for 2000. The Company has now disposed of its remaining ownership in DTPI.
 
Interest income was $278,000 for 2001, compared to $687,000 for 2000. Along with the reduction in interest rate levels in general, interest income for 2001 is less than interest income earned in the corresponding periods of 2000 due primarily to lower average cash balances throughout the year and the absence in 2001 of interest received on a note receivable from DTPI, that was repaid in full, during the second quarter of 2000.
 
Interest expense for 2001 was $952,000 compared to $978,000 for the corresponding period of 2000. Although interest rates in general fell in 2001, the consistent level of interest expense in 2001 compared to 2000 reflects a higher average level of borrowings in 2001 than 2000 due to the Company’s line of credit being established at the end of March 2000 (see Note 7 to the financial statements) and higher loan balances carried during the first quarter of 2001. In addition, the Company records interest on the mortgage on its corporate headquarters which bears a fixed rate of interest of 7%.
 
The tax provision for 2000 is related to overseas taxes. The absence of a U.S. tax provision in 2001 is due to continued net operating losses available to the Company to offset current year income.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2000, Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999
 
Total revenues were $17,059,000 for 2000, compared to $22,226,000 for 1999 (including DTPI through June 17, 1999), representing a decrease of 23% over the prior year period. Product revenues were $15,595,000 for 2000, compared to $19,962,000 for 1999 representing a decrease of 22% over the prior year period. Service revenues were $1,464,000 for 2000, compared to $2,264,000 for 1999, representing a decrease of 35% over the prior year.
 
The decline in revenues in 2000, compared to 1999, primarily reflects reduced sales in Latin and South America and Africa, the Middle East and the United States partially offset by increased sales in Asia and Europe. The Company’s revenues in total and by region can vary significantly depending upon the timing of projects and the value of individual projects. Sales efforts were generally focused on specific customers and specific known and identified projects. Sales into the emerging markets continued to be impacted by delays and uncertainty. The Company focused significant time and resources in pursuing revenue opportunities for its new range of broadband products. The Company believed that these measures over time would enable the Company to complement its efforts on rural telephony projects in the emerging markets.
 
The gross profit percentage earned for 2000 was 10.8% compared to 25.5% in 1999. The gross profit for 2000 was positively impacted by approximately $2,100,000 associated with a settlement with a vendor and a credit against inventory purchases and negatively impacted by approximately $4,950,000 for increased inventory reserves established during the year and at December 31, 2000. The inventory reserves primarily comprised excess inventory associated with a version of the Company’s products that was to be replaced in 2001, obsolescence for certain components that have been designed out of products and a reserve established for certain components that were valued at an estimated net realizable value. Excluding these adjustments, the gross profit for 2000 would have been approximately 28%.
 
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for 2000 decreased to $7,538,000 (44.2% of revenue) from $8,118,000 (36.5% of revenue) for 1999. Excluding DTPI (in which the Company sold its controlling interest on June 17, 1999), in 1999 SG&A would have been $6,608,000 (31% of revenue). The increase in SG&A excluding DTPI, in 2000 compared to 1999, reflected approximately $1,600,000 in increased bad debt reserves and settlements accrued in the fourth quarter of 2000, partially offset by reduced costs arising from the cost reduction programs implemented by the Company in the second half of 1999.

26


 
Research and development (R&D) costs for 2000 increased to $5,417,000 (31.7% of revenues) from $5,354,000 (24.1% of revenues) in 1999. In dollar terms, the R&D costs are consistent year on year reflecting the relatively fixed nature of such costs, although the actual product development projects can vary year over year.
 
The recovery of the note receivable from affiliate of $3,175,000 in 2000, related to the $3,750,000 received from DTPI as a result of DTPI’s financing. (See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.) $3,175,000 of this recovery was classified as part of operating income and the balance of $575,000 was classified as a gain on disposal of affiliate in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2000.
 
The restructuring costs of $1,042,000 recognized in 1999 comprised severance costs associated with 67 terminated employees, the write-off of certain assets in the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary and an accrual for the estimated costs associated with exiting a lease commitment. All restructuring related accruals were paid as of December 31, 1999.
 
The foreign currency loss of $1,906,000, recognized in 1999, arose primarily from the devaluation of the Brazilian Real and comprised losses on cash balances, on certain account receivable balances (where the Company has negotiated a settlement of its long-term receivable due to the currency devaluation) and on other accounts receivable balances (where the customer has partially compensated the Company for the reduction in the value of the Brazilian Real). The foreign currency loss of $341,000 recognized in 2000, primarily reflected a write-down of certain accounts receivable balances from a customer in Brazil (where the customer would not reimburse the Company for changes in the exchange rate between the Brazilian real and the United States dollar on accounts receivable balances) and the devaluation of the Thai baht in 2000.
 
The gain on sale of assets of $840,000 for 2000 and $2,964,000 for 1999, represented gains on the sale of substantially all the assets of TMSI. In 1999 and 2000, upon the release of the final funds from escrow and the resolution of a customer claim, respectively, the Company re-evaluated certain accruals that were established at the time of the sale, resulting in the recognition of additional gains on the sale of the assets of TMSI. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
 
In 2000, the Company disposed of shares in DTPI resulting in a gain of $440,000, which has been classified as a gain on disposal of affiliate in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2000. Combined with the $575,000 associated with the note recovery from DTPI, the resulting gain on disposal of affiliate was $1,015,000 in 2000.
 
Interest income was $687,000 in 2000, compared to $1,221,000 in 1999. Excluding DTPI from 1999, interest income would have been $980,000 for 1999. The decrease in interest income reflects lower overall cash balances in 2000 compared to 1999 and lower interest income on a note receivable from DTPI in 2000 compared to 1999, due to the note being partially repaid in March 2000 and the balance of the note being converted into preferred stock of DTPI in June 2000.
 
Interest expense for 2000, was $978,000 compared to $1,491,000 for 1999. The reduction in interest expense in 2000 compared to 1999, related to a lower average level of short and long-term borrowings in 2000 compared to 1999, partially offset by increased costs associated with a new line of credit in 2000 and certain letter of credit discounting costs.
 
The tax provision for 2000 was due to taxes incurred by a foreign subsidiary. The absence of a U.S. tax provision in 2000 and 1999 is due to net operating losses incurred by the Company.
 
The minority interest charge in 1999 related to accrued dividends through June 17, 1999, on the mandatory redeemable shares issued in March 1998 by DTPI. No comparable balance exists in 2000 due to the June 1999 deconsolidation of DTPI by STM.

27


 
The equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliate in 1999 represented the Company’s share of the losses of DTPI’s equity investment in Altair through June 17, 1999, which was accounted for under the equity method. No comparable balance exists in 2000 due to the June 1999 deconsolidation of DTPI by STM.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company sells the majority of its product in the emerging markets. While in any individual year, the Company’s revenues generally represent new projects to new or existing customers in new or existing geographic regions, an economic downturn in the emerging markets, in general, could negatively impact the level of revenue generated by the Company which could materially impact results of operations and the Company’s cash resources. The Company does not anticipate a significant economic downturn in the emerging markets. Also, the Company focuses its sales efforts on sales opportunities where funding for the project is reasonably likely to be available.
 
Sales of the Company’s products are focused on rural telephony, broadband Internet connectivity and private networks. Should the demand for the Company’s products decline due to changed market conditions, a decline in revenues could materially impact the results of operations and the Company’s cash resources. Currently, the Company continues to foresee demand for its products.
 
The Company has a history of losses, fluctuations in operating results and cash usage. The results of operations may fluctuate due to numerous factors, including the competitive environment in which the Company operates, the delays that can arise in an international environment, the long lead time and extended sales efforts required to secure larger value orders and the continued need to invest in the development of new products and in the enhancement of existing products. In addition, the Company’s quarterly sales cycle can make future financial results less predictable. Like many technology companies, STM generally sells and ships more hardware in the third month of each quarter than in the first and second months. The Company may also build products early in the quarter in anticipation of demand later in the quarter which can adversely impact inventory levels and cash resources. Since 1998, the Company has funded losses from operations through disposing of its investments in DTPI and the sale of the assets in TMSI. The Company has now disposed of all its remaining investment in DTPI. However, the Company’s operating performance in 2001, has improved such that operating losses have decreased and positive cash flows from operations were $50,000 for the year 2001.
 
In 2001, the Company disposed of its remaining shares in DTPI for $4,839,000, net. (See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.)
 
In addition, in September 2001, the Company renewed its line of credit for $3,300,000 through March 2004. Borrowings under this line of credit were $1,500,000 at December 31, 2001.
 
In 2001, the Company had positive cash flows from operations of $50,000 compared to cash used in operations of $3,943,000 in 2000. The net cash flows from operations in 2001 was primarily due to reduced operating losses for the year, decreases in accounts receivable and inventories partially offset by decreases in customer deposits and accrued liabilities incurred in 2001.
 
In 2001, the Company generated cash of $3,020,000 from investing activities compared to cash usage of $286,000 in 2000. In 2001, the Company realized $4,839,000 from the sale of its shares in DTPI and used cash through the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $571,000, through increasing restricted cash by $1,100,000 and increasing short-term investments of $148,000. In 2000, the company invested $1,666,000 in property, plant and equipment, which was reduced by $575,000 in proceeds from the repayment of a note receivable, $440,000 from the sale of shares in DTPI and a reduction in restricted cash of $365,000.

28


 
In 2001, net cash used in financing activities was $1,315,000 compared to cash generated of $2,691,000 in 2000. In 2001, the Company repaid short-term borrowings of $1,124,000 and long-term debt of $192,000. In 2000, the Company generated $2,588,000 from short-term borrowings, $654,000 from the proceeds from stock options and repaid long-term debt of $551,000.
 
Overall, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted balances) totaled $4,658,000 at December 31, 2001, compared to $2,903,000 at December 31, 2000.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company was contingently liable for standby letters of credit of $2,490,000, of which $1,140,000 restricts borrowings under its line of credit by approximately $250,000 and the balance of $1,350,000 was cash collateralized at December 31, 2001. Such $1,350,000 was included in restricted cash and short-term investments of $3,350,000 at December 31, 2001 but will become available for use in operations once the standby letter of credit expires.
 
At December 31, 2001, there was one customer with extended payment terms beyond 90 days for $220,000 of its receivable balance.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company had unused availability under its line of credit of approximately $1,100,000.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company’s only long-term contractual obligation was for its corporate headquarters for approximately $550,000 per annum (including principal and interest). The Company has leased a portion of its corporate headquarters to a third party through May 2003 and such rental income will be $276,000 in 2002 and $158,000 in 2003.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company’s currents assets were $22,959,000 and current liabilities were $13,014,000, representing a current ratio of 1.76 to 1.0. Excluding inventory of $7,516,000, the Company’s quick ratio (current assets less inventory compared to current liabilities) was 1.19 to 1.0. Management’s expectations are that the Company’s financial performance will continue to improve in 2002 based on current backlog and known sales opportunities which the Company believes it will be successful in winning. However, should the performance of the Company not continue to improve in 2002, the Company would expect to reduce its costs to a level reflecting its reduced revenue expectations and take other corrective actions to preserve its cash resources. Should the Company’s stock price improve relative to December 31, 2001, the Company may raise additional capital or debt on more favorable terms than are currently available. Accordingly, management expects to have sufficient cash generated from operations, through availability under lines of credit, and from other external sources to meet the anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (Statement 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Statement 144 supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. Statement 144 retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of any entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale.
 
The Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of Statement 144 for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that Statement 144 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

29


 
Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
To avoid the risk of fluctuating exchange rates associated with international sales, the Company conducts most international sales in United States currency. In Thailand, the Company’s subsidiary invoices most customers in local currency based on contractual prices denominated in United States currency to minimize the risk of foreign exchange loss. However, there is the risk of loss on accounts receivable in that the local currency may devalue relative to the United States currency during the period of collection. The balance in accounts receivable carried in Thailand as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, was approximately $135,000 and $206,000, respectively. Foreign exchange gain and all losses in 2001 were immaterial. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio.
 
The Company’s exposure to short-term interest rate fluctuations is limited to its short-term borrowings under its line of credit for $3,300,000. Such line of credit allows borrowings up to $2,800,000 and therefore a 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by $28,000.

STM WIRELESS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1)    Description of the Company
 
STM Wireless, Inc. (the “Company” or “STM”) is a developer, manufacturer and provider of wireless-based satellite communications infrastructure and user terminal products utilized in public and private telecommunications networks for broadband and telephony applications. These networks support IP based data, fax, voice and video communication and are used to either bypass or extend terrestrial networks. The Company’s product line is based on proprietary hardware and software and primarily consists of two-way earth stations referred to as VSATs (very small aperture terminals), associated infrastructure equipment and software, transceivers, modems and other networking equipment. The Company historically has focused its sales efforts on the international marketplace, particularly developing countries. The Company’s former subsidiary, SkyOnline, Inc., formerly known as Direc-To-Phone International, Inc. (“DTPI”), provides telecommunications services in international markets.
 
(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for under the equity method of accounting, including DTPI through June 1999. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
 
Therefore, on an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those for bad debts provisions, inventory reserves and other obligations. For estimated bad debts, the Company reviews on an individual account basis the age of the receivable, all circumstances surrounding the transaction that gave rise to the receivable and whether the customer continues to have the financial resources to pay the receivable as of the balance sheet date and prior to the issuance of the financial statements for the respective period. For estimated inventory reserves, the Company performs an in-depth review of the higher value inventory items and applies the results of the in-depth review to the lower value inventory items by product category. The respective inventory reserve is based upon the historical activity in the inventory item; its expected future use based upon changes to the design of a particular product, whether the product into which the inventory item is incorporated is expected to be discontinued in the near future and whether there are any lower of cost or market considerations. For other obligations, where judgment is required, the Company reviews the circumstances surrounding the obligation and evaluates the facts and circumstances to determine an appropriate level of accrual for such obligation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Sales of the Company’s communications products and related installed software are generally recognized upon shipment when title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer. Sales of the Company’s products to distributors are normally not subject to right of return. Service revenues are recognized as services are completed.
 
Generally, the Company’s sales are multiple element arrangements and sales contracts are supported by a detailed pricing schedule for each element of the contract. The installation of the Company’s equipment may be performed by third parties, although new customers generally rely on the Company to commission and install the

38

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

initial equipment. When there are acceptance criteria to be met, generally there is an acceptance document agreed between the Company and the customer prior to the shipment, such that the Company can determine if there is any material risk of non-acceptance. For repeat customers, the Company is very familiar with the customers network environment, such that, it can determined if there is any material risk of non-acceptance. If it is determined that there is a significant risk of non-acceptance, the Company will defer revenue on all shipments of product until acceptance has occurred. Where there is a payment installment tied to acceptance or where partial shipments of product are allowed under the respective sales contract, revenue is recognized for shipments of product that have occurred and where the Company has a legal basis for an enforceable claim for those elements delivered irrespective of whether the Company performs the installation and commissioning of the equipment.
 
The Company generally warrants its products to be free from defects for a period of one year from shipment. Estimated warranty liabilities are evaluated for adequacy on an on-going basis.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less, consisting primarily of cash, certificates of deposit and other money market instruments.
 
Short-Term Investments
 
The Company’s short-term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposit with original maturities between 90 and 360 days.
 
Restricted Assets
 
Cash and short-term investments whose use is restricted are classified separately as restricted cash and short-term investments.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and consist of the following:

Certain components used by the Company in its existing products are purchased from single source suppliers and manufacturers. While the Company maintains an inventory of components and believes that alternative suppliers and manufacturers for all such components are available at reasonable terms, an interruption in the delivery of these components may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
In 2000, the Company increased its inventory reserves by approximately $4,950,000 to recognize excess inventory associated with a version of the Company’s products that was to be replaced in 2001, obsolescence for certain components that have been designed out of the Company’s existing products and a reserve established for certain components to value them at estimated net realizable value. In 2001, the Company increased its inventory reserves by $256,000, primarily associated with changes to the Company’s product portfolio.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Accounting for Investments in Affiliates
 
Investments in twenty to fifty percent-owned affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment in and advances to the affiliate are carried at cost, plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings or losses since acquisition. The Company defers its share of the profits or losses on sales to affiliates and when appropriate these amounts are amortized to income. When an equity investment is reduced to zero and there are no funding obligations or guarantees of the obligations of the affiliate, the Company does not record any additional losses of the affiliate until such time that the affiliate is sufficiently profitable to recover previously unrecognized losses. Reserves are provided where management determines that the investment has experienced an other than temporary decline in value. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had no investments that were accounted for under the equity method.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years. Satellite equipment, other equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over 3-5 years. Assets used for long-term service contracts associated with DTPI’s business were depreciated commencing when the asset was placed in service, over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lives of the contracts to which they related. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease.
 
Long-Term Receivables
 
Long-term receivables are recorded at cost. Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, considers a note to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate. Cash receipts on impaired notes receivable are applied to reduce the principal amount of such notes until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income, thereafter. Arising from the currency devaluation in Brazil in 1999, the Company negotiated a settlement of certain long-term receivables from a customer in Brazil. The loss arising of $584,000 has been classified as a part of the foreign currency gains (losses) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in 1999. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were no amounts recorded as long-term receivables.

As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying value of short-term investments approximates fair value based on quoted market prices for those or similar investments. The fair value of all debt approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.
 
Research and Development
 
All research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and primarily consist of salaries and applicable overhead expenses of employees directly involved in the design of the satellite network hardware and software and certain third party outside service costs.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s

assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance for certain temporary differences for which it is not more likely than not that it will realize future tax benefits. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period of enactment.
 
Stock Options Plans
 
The Company measures stock-based compensation for employees using the intrinsic-value method, which assumes that options granted with exercise prices at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant have no intrinsic value.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in value based upon undiscounted future operating cash flows, and appropriate losses are recognized based upon projected discounted cash flows, whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company has determined that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for its subsidiaries outside the U.S. under SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS 52”). Based on this determination, the Company’s foreign operations are measured by reflecting the financial results of such operations as if they had taken place within a U.S. dollar-based economic environment. Inventory, fixed assets and other non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates whereas cash, accounts receivable and other monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at current exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from those remeasurements are included in income for the current period. In 2000, the Company incurred foreign currency losses of $341,000 primarily associated with the devaluation of the Brazilian currency. In 1999, $1,906,000 was recognized as foreign currency losses, also associated with the Brazilian currency. Foreign currency losses in 2001 were not material. Such costs are included in the consolidated statement of operations for the annual periods noted.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (Statement 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Statement 144 supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. Statement 144 retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of any entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale.
 
The Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of Statement 144 for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that Statement 144 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 and 1999 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2001 presentation.

(3)    Acquisitions and Disposals
 
Telecom Multimedia Systems, Inc. (“TMSI”)
 
In 1998, the Company sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities of TMSI for approximately $25 million in cash. Gains of approximately $13,754,000 were ultimately realized of which $840,000 and $2,964,000 were recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The gain of $2,964,000 in 1999 was recognized upon the release of final funds from escrow. The gain of $840,000 in 2000 was recognized upon the resolution of a customer claim. Included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000, is approximately $95,000 and $92,000, respectively, of cash in escrow classified as accounts receivable and approximately $20,000 and $40,000, respectively, classified as accrued liabilities, related to the disposition of TMSI.
(4)    Deconsolidation and Accounting for DTPI
 
STM incorporated DTPI in 1996 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STM. In March 1998, the Company invested $15 million in DTPI, comprising $5 million for Preferred Stock, and a $10 million loan. The loan was repayable out of the proceeds of future DTPI financings. Concurrently with this investment, Pequot Capital Management (“Pequot”) acquired a 25% ownership of DTPI.
 
In June 1999, the Company and DTPI completed a financing whereby the Company sold shares in DTPI representing approximately 31% of the voting stock of DTPI for approximately $7,100,000 to REMEC, Inc. (“REMEC”) and Pequot, thereby reducing STM’s ownership to 44% of the voting stock of DTPI and DTPI repaid to STM $2,500,000 of a note receivable from DTPI. In addition, DTPI announced the appointment of a new chairman and chief executive officer of DTPI. As a result, STM relinquished operating control of DTPI, deconsolidated DTPI and changed to the equity method, effective June 17, 1999.
 
The proceeds of $7,100,000 comprised cash of $2,219,000 net of transaction costs of $281,000, a reduction in accounts payable of approximately $2,300,000 and a credit against future purchases of inventory for approximately $2,300,000. Due to uncertainty concerning the recoverability of the $2,300,000 credit against future purchases, such credit was fully reserved at June 30, 1999. Additionally, as part of the June 1999 financing, STM granted a price increase of approximately $1,458,000 to REMEC and granted DTPI a concession of $1,600,000 against future purchases of product by DTPI from STM. These obligations were accrued as part of the June 1999 deconsolidation of DTPI.
 
As a result of STM’s deconsolidation of DTPI, STM no longer accounted for DTPI’s equity investment in Altair, nor for DTPI’s redeemable preferred stock. Through June 16, 1999, the Company recognized equity losses of $59,000 for DTPI’s equity investment in Altair and a minority interest expense of $275,000 associated with DTPI’s redeemable preferred stock.
 
Due to the losses incurred by DTPI from inception through June 17, 1999, STM’s equity investment in DTPI (including the remaining note receivable from DTPI of $7,500,000 at June 17, 1999) was reduced to zero. STM had no funding obligations to DTPI nor had STM guaranteed any obligations of DTPI. Therefore, STM has not accrued any losses of DTPI subsequent to June 17, 1999, and the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, only includes the results of DTPI for the period January 1, 1999, through June 17, 1999.
 
On March 28, 2000, DTPI issued additional shares that resulted in diluting STM’s ownership in DTPI to approximately 16% and STM discontinued the equity method of accounting for DTPI. Coinciding with this financing, STM received $3,750,000 in cash from DTPI representing a partial repayment of the $7,500,000 note

42


STM WIRELESS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

receivable from DTPI. The remaining balance of the receivable was converted into preferred stock of DTPI. The $7,500,000 note receivable from DTPI had been fully reserved through a combination of the Company’s equity interest in the losses of DTPI recorded through June 17, 1999, and additional provisions effectively made at the date of deconsolidation on June 17, 1999. The total recovery of the note of $3,750,000 is reflected on two line items on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000: $3,175,000 is shown in operating costs as a “Recovery of note receivable from affiliate” (representing that portion of the note receivable that had been reserved against through STM’s equity interest in the losses in DTPI) and $575,000 is reflected as non-operating income under the caption “Gain on disposal of affiliate” (representing that portion of the note recovery that had been reserved against at the date of deconsolidation).
 
In June 2000, the Company sold shares of DTPI for $440,000 and reduced its ownership in DTPI to approximately 15%. The gain of $440,000 has been classified as “Gain on disposal of affiliate” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000.
 
In August 2000, coinciding with an amendment to the product supply agreement with REMEC, the price increases on future product commitments were eliminated in consideration for STM releasing REMEC from all claims for past product disputes such that approximately $1,234,000 was credited to income (as part of product cost of revenues in the accompanying statement of operations for 2000) and the balance of the REMEC price increase accrual of $224,000 was amortized to income as purchases from REMEC occurred at such higher prices.
 
In 2001, the Company disposed of its remaining shares in DTPI for cash proceeds of $4,839,000, net of costs incurred of $180,000. Such gain of $4,839,000 has been classified as “Gain on disposal of affiliate” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations at December 31, 2001.

(7)    Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
 
Short-Term Borrowings
 
The Company has a revolving credit facility with one bank totaling $2,000,000. The facility is secured by the Company’s certificates of deposit in the same amount with the bank. Borrowings are due on demand and accrue interest at 0.75% over the certificates of deposit rate. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the outstanding balances under this credit facility were $2,000,000.
 
On March 27, 2000, the Company entered into a two-year revolving line of credit for $3,300,000 of which $2,800,000 is available for on-going working capital requirements. Such line of credit was renewed in September 2001 and now extends through March 2004. The line of credit bears interest at prime plus 1%. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, the interest rate on this facility was 5.75% and 10.5%, respectively. In connection with this credit facility, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share. The warrant has a five-year term. The fair value of the warrant of $93,000 at the date of issuance is being amortized over the term of the credit agreement. The Company has

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

recognized $36,000 and $35,000 of this amount as interest expense in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The remaining balance of $22,000 is included in prepaid expenses.
 
Availability to borrow the $2,800,000 is based upon a percentage of eligible inventories and accounts receivable. Borrowings under the line of credit at December 31, 2001, and 2000 were approximately $1,500,000 and $2,588,000, respectively, with additional availability of approximately $1,100,000 as of December 31, 2001. The lender was granted a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
Long-Term Debt
 
In connection with the purchase of the Company’s headquarters on July 28, 1994, the Company entered into a purchase money promissory mortgage note (“Mortgage Note”) in the amount of $4,320,000. In October 1999, the Company refinanced its corporate headquarters through a deed of trust for $7,000,000, thereby paying off the existing mortgage note for $4,061,000 and generating cash of $2,939,000. The deed of trust for $7,000,000 is secured by the Company’s land, building and fixtures, accrues interest at 7% per annum, and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $46,571. The deed of trust is being amortized over a 30-year period and matures in November 2014, at which time all remaining principal and accrued interest is due.

(8)    Stockholders’ Equity
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof without any further vote by the holders of common stock.
 
Stock Options
 
In January 1992, the Company adopted the Incentive Stock Option, Non Qualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan—1992 (the “1992 Plan”). The 1992 Plan provided for the grant by the Company of options and/or rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares of common stock. In October 1994, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Satellite Technology Management, Inc. 1994 Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “1994 Plan”). The 1994 Plan provided for the grant by the Company of options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors who are neither employees nor paid consultants of the Company. Options generally vest ratably over four years and are exercisable up to ten years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2001, both the 1992 and the 1994 Plans were terminated and all unissued options under the Plan were cancelled. In January 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”). The 2002 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock to qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers.
 
Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s basic and diluted net loss and net loss per share would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts:

At the date of grant, the weighted average fair value per option granted was $1.77, $3.60 and $1.80 for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants in 2001, 2000 and 1999—risk free interest rate of 4.17%, 6.30% and 5.47%, respectively, an expected life of three years and an expected volatility rate of 127.0%, 104.9% and 84.72%, respectively, and expected dividend yield of 0% for all years.

Common stock received through the exercise of non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, which are sold by the optionee within two years of grant or one year of exercise result in a tax deduction for the Company equivalent to the taxable gain recognized by the optionee. For financial reporting purposes, the tax effect of this deduction is ultimately accounted for as a credit to common stock rather than as a reduction of income tax expense if such tax benefit is more likely than not to be realized.
 
(9)    Commitments and Contingencies
 
Lease Commitments
 
In 1999, as part of its restructuring of it operations (see Note 15), the Company incurred a lease termination fee of approximately $300,000. Such termination fee of $300,000 is included as part of restructuring costs of $1,042,000 in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Rent expense for 1999 was approximately $280,000.
 
In May 1999, the Company entered into a lease agreement under which the Company leases a portion of its corporate headquarters to a third party. Future minimum rental income under this lease as of December 31, 2001, are as follows: $276,000 in 2002 and $158,000 in 2003. Rental income for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $234,000 and $248,000 and $153,000, respectively.

Litigation
 
The Company is involved as both plaintiff and defendant in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not expect that other matters will individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or its financial condition.
 
Bid Bonds
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company was contingently liable for standby letters of credit of $2,490,000, of which $1,140,000 restricts borrowings under its line of credit by approximately $250,000 and the balance of $1,350,000 was cash collateralized at December 31, 2001. Such $1,350,000 was included in restricted cash and short-term investments of $3,350,000 at December 31, 2001 but will become available for use in operations once the standby letter of credit expires.

The valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets was decreased by $1,156,000 in 2001 due primarily to decreased timing differences associated with accounts receivable balances. The Company has incurred operating losses in each of the three years included herein and has determined that it is not more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realizable.
 
At December 31, 2001, the Company had available federal net operating losses of approximately $15,200,000, which expire in 2009 through 2021, state net operating losses of approximately $6,500,000, which expire in 2004, 2010 and 2011, federal research and development credits of approximately $600,000, which expire in 2001 through 2013 and state tax credits of approximately $620,000 that are carried forward indefinitely.
 
Included in the tax provision for prior years were reserves for certain tax exposures that have been assessed in Brazil. To date, the Company has responded to the assessment by the Brazilian tax authorities and intends to continue to vigorously challenge the tax assessments.
 
The Company has not provided for U.S. Federal income and foreign withholding taxes on its foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2001, as such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. If these earnings are distributed in the future, foreign tax credits would become available under U.S. law to reduce the effect on the Company’s overall tax liability.

Sales into Africa and the Middle East and Europe are serviced through the U.S. legal entity and therefore, there are no operating income (losses) or identifiable assets in those regions.
 
The Company generates a substantial amount of its revenues from individually significant orders, primarily on an international basis to both developed and developing countries. This can give rise to a concentration of revenues and credit risks to individual customers and in geographic regions.
 
While in an individual year a customer can represent a significant proportion of the revenues for that year, the Company does not generate a significant level of on-going repeat revenues from any individual customer. The Company’s revenues, in general, in any given year represent new projects, to new or existing customers in new or existing geographic regions.
 
The Company has generated approximately 25%, 42% and 19% of its revenue in Asia in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively; 44%, 32% and 44% of its revenue in Latin and South America in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively; and 6%, 4% and 7% of its revenue in the United States in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In 2001, the Company had two customers, both in Latin America, which represented 25% and 15% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for 2001. In 2000, the Company had two customers, one in the Latin America and one in Asia, which represented 17% and 14% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for 2000, respectively. In 1999, the Company had two customers, one in Latin America and one in Africa, which represented 25% and 16% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for 1999, respectively.
 
Latin and South America
 
Sales in Latin and South America in 2001 were to 15 customers. There were significant sales to two customers in total for approximately $11,800,000 in 2001. At December 31, 2001, the accounts receivable balance from these customers was approximately $1,557,000.
 
The Company sells its products and services internationally. To assure collection, the Company evaluates the credit risk associated with each customer and will require either letters of credit or similar guarantees, substantial up-front deposits or when acceptable, may extend credit on an open account basis.
 
(12)    Employee Benefits
 
Effective September 1991, the Company adopted a defined contribution 401(k) savings and investment plan. The Company’s contributions to the plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

51


STM WIRELESS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
In 1998, the Board of Directors approved a matching contribution equal to the lesser of, with respect to each participant (a) one-half of the amount contributed by such participant to the plan, (b) $1,600 or (c) 1% of the participants salary to be paid on an annual basis. Amounts of approximately $44,000, $26,000, and $30,000 were expensed in 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively, for the Company’s matching contributions.

The computation of diluted loss per share for all periods excluded the effect of any incremental common shares attributable to the exercise of outstanding common stock options (see Note 8) and stock warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 1,268,300, 1,301,521, and 1,151,824 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
 
(14)    Related Party Transactions
 
DTPI
 
The Company’s consolidated results include the results of DTPI through June 17, 1999 (see Note 4).
 
Transactions Prior to June 17, 1999
 
Under the terms of its investment in DTPI (see Notes 4), Pequot and DTPI entered into a consulting agreement for $100,000 on an annual basis. Accordingly, the Company recognized an expense to Pequot of approximately $50,000 through June 17, 1999.
 
DTPI supplied equipment to its 49% owned joint venture, Altair, S.A. Sales to Altair through June 17, 1999, was approximately $1,450,000, of which approximately $740,000 was recognized as revenue due to DTPI’s investment in Altair being accounted for under the equity method. DTPI also advanced cash to Altair to fund its capital expenditures and operating expenses and earned interest of 13% on all cash advances.
 
Interest income earned on advances to Altair of approximately $128,000 was recognized in 1999.

STM WIRELESS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Transactions subsequent to June 17, 1999
 
Subsequent to deconsolidation of DTPI, STM had certain related party transactions with DTPI.
 
In 1999, STM supplied equipment for approximately $320,000 and recognized revenue of approximately $180,000, representing 56% of the value of equipment supplied due to STM continuing to own 44% of DTPI. Associated with the sale of the shares of DTPI by STM on June 17, 1999, STM granted DTPI a concession of $1,600,000 against future purchases of product by DTPI from STM.
 
In 1999, STM recognized interest income of approximately $412,000 on a $7,500,000 note receivable from DTPI. The note bore interest at 10% per annum.
 
Due to STM providing office accommodation to certain DTPI employees and DTPI employees participating in STM’s employee benefit plan, there were certain normal course recharges of expenses to DTPI at estimated cost. For the period subsequent to June 17, 1999, to December 31, 1999, such recharges were approximately $200,000.
 
During the year 2000, STM delivered to DTPI, under the terms of the June 17, 1999 amended product supply agreement, product valued at approximately $2,933,000. Such revenues were recognized at 100% of the sales value of the equipment supplied due to STM discontinuing the use of the equity method for DTPI. The proceeds from these sales were reduced by the DTPI concession, which had the effect of reducing cash receipts by approximately $1,500,000.
 
During 2001, STM delivered to DTPI, under the terms of a 2001 product purchase agreement, product valued at approximately $7,013,000. These revenues were recognized at 100% of the sales value. Services valued at approximately $400,000 were also provided to DTPI during 2001.
 
STM also provided office accommodation to certain DTPI employees during 2001 and 2000. Recharges for such expenses totaled $16,000 and $53,000 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. DTPI has also reimbursed STM for other expenses at cost, totaling $28,000 and $167,000 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income recognized by STM during 2000 in connection with the note receivable totaled $157,000. $3,750,000 of such note was repaid in March 2000 and the remaining balance of $3,750,000 was converted into preferred stock of DTPI in June 2000 and is carried at no value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000.
 
Other Related Party Transactions
 
In May 2000, the Company entered into an Investment and Consulting Agreement with Zavareh LLC (a limited partnership controlled by Dr. Mark Shahriary, a former director of the Company) whereby Zavareh was to provide advice to the Company for up to 2 years in consideration for the Company issuing 100,000 shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $400,000 to Zavareh LLC and reimbursing Zavareh for out-of-pocket expenses of $3,000 per month. This contract was terminated in November 2000 and Dr. Shahriary currently owes the Company approximately $300,000 for such shares of common stock. An expense of $100,000 was recognized for the period May 2000 to November 2000 in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company and Dr. Shahriary are currently negotiating a settlement of this matter.
 
In July 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement with BroadEdge, Inc., a satellite-based broadband provider offering high quality streaming media content, pursuant to which the Company granted to BroadEdge an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property of the Company for a period of ten years.

53


STM WIRELESS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Such intellectual property had no carrying value in the Company’s books. In exchange for the license, the Company received 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of BroadEdge, or approximately 10% of its capital stock. Because the value of the stock received and the licenses given were not readily determinable, the transaction was not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. Mr. Youssefzadeh, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, is the founder and a member of the Board of Directors and a 70% stockholder of BroadEdge. During 2000, the Company recognized approximately $29,000 in revenues and received approximately $35,000 in reimbursable expenses from BroadEdge. During 2001, the Company purchased approximately $14,000 in fixed assets from BroadEdge and received approximately $131,000 in reimbursable expenses.
 
In 2000, Mr. K.C. Schaaf was elected to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Schaaf is a partner in Stradling, Yocca, Carlson and Rauth (“SYCR”), the Company’s outside legal counsel. The Company incurred legal fees to SYCR of approximately $84,000, $37,000 and $47,000, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Mr. Schaaf has waived any fees or compensation for his services as a director of the Company but charges the Company at normal billing rates for time incurred by SYCR in providing legal services to the Company.
 
(15)    Restructuring Costs
 
The Company implemented cost reduction programs in 1999. As a result of these cost reduction programs, the Company exited its Atlanta facility, relocated its manufacturing operations and terminated part of its workforce. Restructuring costs of $1,042,000 were recognized in 1999, comprising severance obligations of $502,000, costs of $190,000 associated with writing-off the assets of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary and costs of $350,000 associated with exiting the Atlanta lease commitment, which was excess to requirements. All such expenses were paid in 1999.

The results for the fourth quarter of 2000, included charges of approximately $4,900,000, which comprised inventory reserves of approximately $3,300,000 and approximately $1,600,000 for bad debt provisions and settlements. The inventory reserves of $3,300,000 comprised excess inventory associated with a version of the Company’s products that was to be replaced in 2001, obsolescence for certain components that were designed out of the Company’s products and a reserve established for certain components that were required to be valued at estimated net realizable value. Total inventory reserves established in 2000 were approximately $4,950,000. The additional reserve established in the fourth quarter of 2000 was due to the Company formalizing a development plan to replace existing products and thereby increasing the Company’s exposure primarily to excess inventories and the Company finalizing a sales price for certain components in inventory at December 31, 2000. The increase in the reserves for bad debts and settlements established in the fourth quarter of 2000 was due to the Company agreeing to settle a customer dispute and due to certain occurrences that significantly increased the risk of non-collection of certain customer balances in the fourth quarter and prior to the release of results for the fourth quarter of 2000. The results for the fourth quarter of 2001, included relatively higher manufacturing costs and additional inventory reserves totaling approximately $1,100,000 partially offset by bad debts recoveries and a credit for outside services associated with a research and development project totaling approximately $750,000.

Accordingly, during 2001, Mr. Connors received $48,000 and Mr. Gambaro and Mr. Horwitz each received $15,000 for their services as outside directors of the Company. The Company’s outside directors were also reimbursed for expenses incurred for meetings of the Board of Directors which they attended. In addition, the outside directors may earn additional compensation in the event they provide non-director related services to the Company. Such compensation will be awarded on a case-by-case basis and is not expected to be material in any period.

Retirement of Mr. Connors

Mr. Connors also received in 1999 $25,000 in connection with his services to the Company as Acting President from March 1999 through September 1999 and in 2000, 25,000 options were granted in connection with such services.

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists of three members. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Mr. Connors, Dr. Gambaro and Mr. Horwitz were members of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.
 
No executive officer serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation and Stock Option Committee.

62


 
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
 
The following report is submitted by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors with respect to the executive compensation policies established by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee and recommended to the Board of Directors and compensation paid or awarded to executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
 
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee determines the annual salary, bonus and other benefits, including incentive compensation awards, of the Company’s senior management and recommends new employee benefit plans and changes to existing plans to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists of three members. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Mr. Connors, Dr. Gambaro and Mr. Horwitz were members of the Compensation Committee.
 
Compensation Policies and Objectives
 
In establishing and evaluating the effectiveness of compensation programs for executive officers, as well as other employees of the Company, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee is guided by three basic principles:
 
 
 
The Company must offer competitive salaries to be able to attract and retain highly-qualified and experienced executives and other management personnel.
 
 
 
Annual executive compensation in excess of base salaries should be tied to individual and Company performance.
 
 
 
The financial interests of the Company’s executive officers should be aligned with the financial interest of the stockholders, primarily through stock option grants, which reward executives for improvements in the market performance of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
Salaries and Employee Benefit Programs
 
In order to retain executives and other key employees, and to be able to attract additional well-qualified executives when the need arises, the Company strives to offer salaries, and health care and other employee benefit programs, to its executives and other key employees that are comparable to those offered to persons with similar skills and responsibilities by competing businesses in the local geographic area.
 
In recommending salaries for executive officers, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (i) reviews the historical performance of the executives and (ii) informally reviews available information, including information published in secondary sources, regarding prevailing salaries and compensation programs offered by competing businesses that are comparable to the Company in terms of size, revenue, financial performance and industry group. Many, though not all, of these competing businesses, that have securities which are publicly traded, are included in the S&P Telecommunications Equipment Index used in the Stock Performance Graph below. Another factor, which is considered in recommending salaries of executive officers is the cost of living in Southern California where the Company is headquartered, as such cost generally is higher than in other parts of the country.
 
In order to retain qualified management personnel, the Company has followed the practice of seeking to promote executives from within the Company whenever practicable. The Board of Directors believes that this policy enhances employee morale and provides continuity of management. Typically, modest salary increases are made in conjunction with such promotions.
 
Performance-Based Compensation
 
The Board of Directors believes that the motivation of executives and key employees increases as the market value of the Company’s Common Stock increases. Nevertheless, the Company provides a merit bonus in

63


cash or stock options to executives and key employees, which is dependent on the Company’s achievements and the direct contributions made by each executive and other key employees. Accordingly, at the beginning of each fiscal year, the Company establishes short term and long term plans, and at the end of the fiscal year, the collective and individual contributions of the executives to the Company’s achievements are evaluated. Cash bonuses are awarded if the Company achieves or exceeds the earnings goal established for the fiscal year and are limited, subject to extraordinary exceptions, to amounts ranging from five percent (5%) to fifty percent (50%) of an executive’s base salary.
 
The earnings goal is established on the basis of the annual operating plan developed by management and approved by the Board of Directors. The annual operating plan, which is designed to maximize profitability within the constraints of economic and competitive conditions, some of which are outside the control of the Company, is developed on the basis of (i) the Company’s performance for the prior fiscal year; (ii) estimates of sales revenue for the plan year based upon recent market conditions, trends and competition and other factors which, based on historical experience, or expected to affect the level of sales that can be achieved; (iii) historical operating costs and cost savings that management believes can be realized; and (iv) competitive conditions faced by the Company. By taking all of these factors into account, including market conditions, the earnings goal in the annual operating plan is determined.
 
In certain instances, bonuses are awarded not only on the basis of the Company’s overall profitability, but also on the achievement by an executive of specific objectives within his or her area of responsibility. For example, a bonus may be awarded for any executive’s efforts in achieving greater than anticipated cost savings, or completing a new product on target.
 
As a result of this performance-based merit bonus program, executive compensation, and the proportion of each executive’s total cash compensation that is represented by incentive or bonus income, may increase in those years in which the Company’s profitability increases.
 
Stock Options and Equity-Based Programs
 
In order to align the financial interests of executive officers and other key employees with those of the stockholders, the Company grants stock options to its executive officers and other key employees on a periodic basis, taking into account the size and terms of previous grants of equity-based compensation and stock holdings in determining awards. Stock option grants, in particular, reward executive officers and other key employees for performance that results in increases in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock, which directly benefit all stockholders. Moreover, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee generally has followed the practice of granting options on terms, which provide that the options become exercisable in cumulative annual installments, generally over a three to five-year period. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that this feature of the option grants not only provides an incentive for executive officers to remain in the employ of the Company, but also makes longer term growth in share prices important for the executives who receive stock options.
 
Fiscal Year 2001 Compensation
 
The salaries of the Named Executive Officers generally did not increase in 2001 over the salaries paid in fiscal 2000 except for Mr. Steinebrunner, whose salary increased from $110,0000 to $125,000 per annum effective September 2001. Since the Company did not meet the earnings goals established for the year, no bonus payments were made to any of the Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, 2001 with the following exceptions. Mr. Youssefzadeh and Mr. Wallace each received special merit bonuses in connection with their role in the sale of the remaining shares in DTPI.
 
The Company is required to disclose its policy regarding qualifying executive compensation deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which provides that, for purposes of the regular income tax and the alternative minimum tax, the otherwise allowable deduction for compensation paid or accrued with respect to a covered employee of a public corporation is limited to no more than $1 million

64


per year. It is not expected that the compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers for fiscal 2000 will exceed the $1 million limit per officer. The Company’s Incentive Stock Option, Non-Qualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan—1992 is structured so that any compensation deemed paid to an executive officer when he exercises an outstanding option under the plan, with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date, will qualify as performance-based compensation that will not be subject to the $1 million limitation.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
The Audit Committee of the Board has furnished the following report with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001:
 
The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers except Mr. Connors, where it was deemed by the Board to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders for Mr. Connors to be a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Connors does not meet the definition of independence because he was the President of the Company from March 1999 to September 1999 and the President of SkyOnline, Inc., the Company’s former majority owned subsidiary, from January 1998 to January 1999. The board has determined, in its business judgment, that Mr. Connors’ former relationship with the Company does not interfere with his ability to exercise independent judgment. The Board is currently conducting a search for additional independent directors.
 
As noted in the Audit Committee Charter, management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing the financial statements. The activities of the Audit Committee are in no way designed to supersede or alter those traditional responsibilities. The Audit Committee’s role does not provide any special assurances with regard to the Company’s financial statements, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of the audits performed by the independent auditors.
 
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with the Company’s management and the independent auditors.
 
The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors, KPMG LLP, the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication With Audit Committees.
 
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, has considered the compatibility of receiving nonaudit services from the independent auditors with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Company.
 
The Audit Committee has also considered whether the services and fees of KPMG LLP other than those rendered in connection with the annual audit and quarterly interim reviews of the Company’s financial statements are compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP. The services and fees of KPMG LLP for 2001 were:
 
 
 
Audit Fee—$121,000
 
 
 
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees—$0
 
 
 
All Other Fees:
 
  
Tax compliance and tax advise—$23,500
  
Employee Benefit Plan Audit—$10,000
 
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

ITEM 13—CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
In May 2000, the Company entered into an Investment and Consulting Agreement with Zavareh LLC (a limited partnership controlled by Dr. Mark Shahriary, a former director of the company) whereby Zavareh was to provide advice to the Company for up to 2 years in consideration for the Company issuing 100,000 restricted shares of common stock with a fair value of $400,000 to Zavareh LLC and reimbursing Zavareh for out-of-pocket expenses of $3,000 per month. This contract was terminated in November 2000 and Mr. Shahriary currently owes the Company approximately $300,000 for such shares of common stock. The Company expensed $100,000 for the services performed in the period May 2000 through November 2000. The Company and Dr. Shahriary are currently negotiating a settlement of this matter.
 
In July 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement with BroadEdge, Inc., a satellite-based broadband provider offering high quality streaming media content, pursuant to which the Company granted to BroadEdge an exclusive license to use certain intellectual property of the Company for a period of ten years. In exchange for the license, the Company received 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of BroadEdge, or approximately 10% of its capital stock. Mr. Youssefzadeh is the founder and a member of the Board of Directors and a 70% stockholder of BroadEdge. In addition, Infonet Services Corporation is a stockholder in BroadEdge. The license agreement and the purchase of shares of BroadEdge was approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company. It is possible that the Company and BroadEdge may have common customers in the future, although it is anticipated that the Company’s main focus will be the supply of equipment, while BroadEdge will pursue service opportunities. The Company and BroadEdge have a policy that BroadEdge shall not provide any products or services to any existing or prospective customer of the Company unless the opportunity is waived by the Company. In addition, any transaction between the Company and BroadEdge is to be independently approved. During 2000, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $29,000 from BroadEdge and during 2001 and 2000 the Company received reimbursable expenses of approximately $131,000 and $35,000, respectively, from BroadEdge, and in 2001 purchased fixed assets of $14,000 from BroadEdge.
 
In 2000, Mr. K.C. Schaaf was elected to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Schaaf is a partner in Stradling, Yocca, Carlson and Rauth (“SYCR”), the Company’s outside legal counsel. The Company incurred legal fees to SYCR of approximately $84,000, $37,000 and $47,000, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Mr. Schaaf has waived any fees or compensation for his services as a director of the Company but charges the Company at normal billing rates for time incurred by SYCR in providing legal services to the Company.

Subject to Section 3.4, employees of the Company or of an Affiliated Company, members of the Board (whether or not employed by the Company or an Affiliated Company), and Service Providers are eligible to receive Nonqualified Options or acquire Restricted Stock under the Plan. 3.3 Limitation on Shares. In no event shall any Participant be granted Options in any one calendar year pursuant to which the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired thereunder exceeds two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares, subject to adjustment as to the number and kind of shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. 3.4 Restrictions. Notwithstanding Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event stockholder approval of the Plan is required to issue Options or Restricted Stock to any officer or director of the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations governing Nasdaq or any stock exchange on which the Company's shares are traded, then no director or officer of the Company or any Affiliated Company shall be eligible to receive an Option or acquire Restricted Stock, or any right to receive the same, pursuant to this Plan unless and until this Plan has been approved by a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders.

The number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be equal to five hundred thousand (500,000) shares, subject to adjustment as to the number and kind of shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. For purposes of this limitation, in the event that (a) all or any portion of any Option granted under the Plan can no longer under any circumstances be exercised, or (b) any shares of Common Stock are reacquired by the Company pursuant to an Incentive Option Agreement, Nonqualified Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or the shares so reacquired shall again be available for grant or issuance under the Plan. 4.2 Changes in Capital Structure. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to this Plan, the number and kind of shares and the price per share subject to outstanding Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements and the limit on the number of shares under Section 3.3, all in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits to Participants. 4 ARTICLE 5 OPTIONS 5.1 Option Agreement. Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement which shall specify the number of shares subject thereto, vesting provisions relating to such Option, the Exercise Price per share, and whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option. As soon as is practical following the grant of an Option, an Option Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Optionee to whom such Option was granted. Each Option Agreement shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable, including, without limitation, the imposition of any rights of first refusal and resale obligations upon any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option Agreement. Each Option Agreement may be different from each other Option Agreement. 5.2 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock covered by each Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (a) the Exercise Price of an Incentive Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Option is granted, (b) the Exercise Price of a Nonqualified Option shall not be less than 85% of Fair Market Value on the date the Nonqualified Option is granted, except for Nonqualified Options granted to Covered Employees where in such case the Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on such date, and (c) if the person to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant, the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted. 5.3 Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon exercise of an Option and may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, subject to any legal restrictions, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee (provided that shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options granted by the Company must have been held by the Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes), which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) the Optionee's full recourse promissory note in a form and on terms acceptable to the Administrator, provided that an amount equal to at least the aggregate par value of the shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be paid in such other form of consideration permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law; (e) the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (f) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (g) a "same day sale" commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; (h) a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (i) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable corporate law. 5 5.4 Term and Termination of Options. The term and termination of each Option shall be as fixed by the Administrator, but no Option may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted. An Incentive Option granted to a person who is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date it is granted. 5.5 Vesting and Exercise of Options. Each Option shall vest and become exercisable in one or more installments at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives, as shall be determined by the Administrator. 5.6 Annual Limit on Incentive Options. To the extent required for "incentive stock option" treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common Stock that, with respect to any Incentive Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or any Affiliated Company, becomes exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. 5.7 Nontransferability of Options. No Option shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the life of the Optionee shall be exercisable only by such Optionee; provided, however, that, in the discretion of the Administrator, any Option may be assigned or transferred in any manner unless such assignment or transfer is not permitted under the Code. 5.8 Rights as Stockholder. An Optionee or permitted transferee of an Option shall have no rights or privileges as a Stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until such Option has been duly exercised and certificates representing shares purchased upon such exercise have been issued to such person. 5.9 Unvested Shares. The Administrator shall have the discretion to grant Options that are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock provided that the Company retains the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares if the Optionee's service to the Company terminates before all the shares become vested. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. ARTICLE 6 RESTRICTED STOCK 6.1 Issuance of Restricted Stock. The Administrator shall have the right to issue, at a Purchase Price determined by the Administrator (provided that such Purchase Price shall not be less than Fair Market Value for shares issued to a Covered Employee), shares of Common Stock subject to such terms, restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant ("Restricted Stock"). Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, continued employment or the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives. 6.2 Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements. A Participant shall have no rights with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock covered by a Stock Purchase Agreement until the Participant has paid the full Purchase Price to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 6.3 hereof and has 6 executed and delivered to the Company the Stock Purchase Agreement. Each Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in such form, and shall set forth the Purchase Price and such other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Restricted Stock, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable. Each Stock Purchase Agreement may be different from each other Stock Purchase Agreement. 6.4 Payment of Purchase Price. Subject to any legal restrictions, payment of the Purchase Price may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant (provided that shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options granted by the Company shall have been held by the Participant for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes), which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such acceptance; (d) the Participant's full recourse promissory note in a form and on terms acceptable to the Administrator, provided that an amount equal to at least the aggregate par value of the shares purchased pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement shall be paid in such other form of consideration permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law; (e) the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant; (f) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant for services rendered; or (g) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable corporate law. 6.4 Rights as a Stockholder. Upon complying with the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, a Participant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock purchased pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, including voting and dividend rights, subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions as are set forth in such Stock Purchase Agreement. Unless the Administrator shall determine otherwise, certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such shares have vested in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 6.5 Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement or by the Administrator. In the event of termination of a Participant's employment, service as a director of the Company or Service Provider status for any reason whatsoever (including death or disability), the Stock Purchase Agreement may provide, in the discretion of the Administrator, that the Company shall have the right, exercisable at the discretion of the Administrator, to repurchase at the original Purchase Price, any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested as of the date of termination. 6.6 Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Stock Purchase Agreement shall specify the date or dates, the performance goals or objectives which must be achieved, and any other conditions on which the Restricted Stock may vest. 6.7 Dividends. If payment for shares of Restricted Stock is made by promissory note, any cash dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Stock may be applied, in the discretion of the Administrator, to repayment of such note. 7 ARTICLE 7 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 7.1 Administrator. Authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Board, which may delegate such responsibilities in whole or in part to a committee consisting of two (2) or more members of the Board (the "Committee"). Members of the Committee may be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board. The Board may limit the composition of the Committee to those persons necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As used herein, the term "Administrator" means the Board or, with respect to any matter as to which responsibility has been delegated to the Committee, the term Administrator shall mean the Committee. 7.2 Powers of the Administrator. In addition to any other powers or authority conferred upon the Administrator elsewhere in the Plan or by law, the Administrator shall have full power and authority: (a) to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options or rights to purchase Restricted Stock shall be granted, the number of shares to be represented by each Option and the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be offered, and the consideration to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such Options or sale of such Restricted Stock; (b) to interpret the Plan; (c) to create, amend or rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (d) to determine the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in, and the form of, Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements; (e) to determine the identity or capacity of any persons who may be entitled to exercise a Participant's rights under any Option or Stock Purchase Agreement under the Plan; (f) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement; (g) to accelerate the vesting of any Option or release or waive any repurchase rights of the Company with respect to Restricted Stock; (h) to extend the exercise date of any Option; (i) to provide for rights of first refusal and/or repurchase rights; (j) to amend outstanding Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements to provide for, among other things, any change or modification which the Administrator could have included in the original Agreement or in furtherance of the powers provided for herein; and (k) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express provisions of the Plan. Any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Administrator in the exercise of its authority conferred upon it under the Plan shall be final and binding on the Company and all Participants. 7.3 Limitation on Liability. No employee of the Company or member of the Board or Committee shall be subject to any liability with respect to duties under the Plan unless the person acts fraudulently or in bad faith. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Board or Committee, and any employee of the Company with duties under the Plan, who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of such person's conduct in the performance of duties under the Plan. 8 ARTICLE 8 CHANGE IN CONTROL 8.1 Change in Control. In order to preserve a Participant's rights in the event of a Change in Control of the Company: (a) Vesting of all outstanding Options shall accelerate automatically effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless the Options are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or new options or New Incentives are to be issued in exchange therefor, as provided in subsection (b) below. If Options accelerate pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (a), then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to Optionees not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction. (b) Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, Vesting of outstanding Options shall not accelerate if and to the extent that: (i) the Options (including the unvested portion thereof) are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or new options of comparable value are to be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, or (ii) in the event the consideration to be received by the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Change of Control does not consist of securities, the Options (including the unvested portion thereof) are to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) with other incentives of comparable value under a new incentive program ("New Incentives") containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable. If outstanding Options are assumed, or if new options of comparable value are issued in exchange therefor, then each such Option or new option shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and appropriate adjustment also shall be made to the Exercise Price such that the aggregate Exercise Price of each such Option or new option shall remain the same as nearly as practicable. (c) The Administrator in its discretion may provide in any Option Agreement that if such Option is assumed by an acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option of comparable value or New Incentive is issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of a Change in Control transaction, then vesting of the Option, the new option or the New Incentive shall accelerate if and at such time as the Participant's service as an employee, director, officer, consultant or other service provider to the acquiring or successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily under certain circumstances within a specified period following consummation of the Change in Control, pursuant to such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Option Agreement. (d) If outstanding Options will accelerate pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or "spread") between: (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the 9 Change in Control, and (y) the Exercise Price of the Option. (e) In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, all Repurchase Rights shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, and the shares of Common Stock subject to such terminated Repurchase Rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent that: (i) in connection with such Change in Control, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) provides for the continuance or assumption of Stock Purchase Agreements or the substitution of new agreements of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and purchase price, or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Administrator in the Stock Purchase Agreement at the time the Restricted Stock is issued. If the Repurchase Rights shall terminate pursuant to this subsection (e), then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to Purchasers not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction. (f) The Administrator in its discretion may provide in any Stock Purchase Agreement that if, upon a Change in Control, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) provides for the continuance or assumption of such Stock Purchase Agreement or the substitution of new agreements of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation (with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and purchase price), then any Repurchase Right provided for in such Stock Purchase Agreement shall terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the terminated Repurchase Right or any substituted shares shall immediately vest in full, if the Participant's service as an employee, director, officer, consultant or other service provider to the acquiring or successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily under certain circumstances within a specified period following consummation of a Change in Control pursuant to such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. (g) Outstanding Options shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon consummation of a Change in Control except to the extent that the Options are assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof) or new options of comparable value or New Incentives are issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. ARTICLE 9 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 9.1 Amendments. The Board may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in such respects as the Board may deem advisable. No such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement without such Participant's consent. The Board may alter or amend the Plan to comply with requirements under the Code relating to Incentive Options or other types of options which give Optionee more favorable tax treatment than that applicable to Options granted under this Plan as of the date of its adoption. Upon any such alteration or amendment, any outstanding Option granted hereunder may, if the Administrator so determines and if permitted by applicable law, be subject to the more favorable tax treatment afforded to an Optionee pursuant to such terms and conditions. 10 9.2 Plan Termination. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and no Options or rights to purchase Restricted Stock may be granted under the Plan thereafter, but Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms. ARTICLE 10 TAX WITHHOLDING 10.1 Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements with respect to any Options exercised or Restricted Stock issued under the Plan. To the extent permissible under applicable tax, securities and other laws, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, permit a Participant to satisfy his or her obligation to pay any such tax, in whole or in part, up to an amount determined on the basis of the highest marginal tax rate applicable to such Participant, by (a) directing the Company to apply shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Option or as a result of the purchase of or lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or (b) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant. The shares of Common Stock so applied or delivered in satisfaction of the Participant's tax withholding obligation shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to withholding. ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS 11.1 Benefits Not Alienable. Other than as provided above, benefits under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Any unauthorized attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect. 11.2 No Enlargement of Employee Rights. This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Participant to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Participant. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Participant to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliated Company or to interfere with the right of the Company or any Affiliated Company to discharge any Participant at any time. 11.3 Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements, except as otherwise provided herein, will be used for general corporate purposes. 11.4 Annual Reports. During the term of this Plan, the Company will furnish to each Participant who does not otherwise receive such materials, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications that the Company distributes generally to its stockholders. 11 EX-10.34 4 dex1034.txt STM WIRELESS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 10.34 Option No.____ STM WIRELESS, INC.

As used herein, the term "Continuous Service" means (i) employment by either the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, or by a corporation or a parent or subsidiary of a corporation issuing or assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, which is uninterrupted except for vacations, illness (except for permanent disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), or leaves of absence which are approved in writing by the Company or any of such other employer corporations, if applicable, (ii) service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company until Optionee resigns, is removed from office, or Optionee's term of office expires and he or she is not reelected, or (iii) so long as Optionee is engaged as a consultant or Service Provider to the Company or other corporation referred to in clause (i) above. 4. Exercise of Option. On or after the vesting of any portion of this ------------------ Option in accordance with Sections 2 or 8 hereof, and until termination of the right to exercise this Option in accordance with Section 3 above, the portion of this Option which has vested may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee (or, after his or her death, by the person designated in Section 5 below) upon delivery of the following to the Company at its principal executive offices: (a) a written notice of exercise which identifies this Agreement (including the Grant Number listed on the first page of this Agreement) and states the number of Shares then being purchased (but no fractional Shares may be purchased); (b) a check or cash in the amount of the Exercise Price (or payment of the Exercise Price in such other form of lawful consideration as the Administrator may approve from time to time under the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Plan); (c) a check or cash in the amount reasonably requested by the Company to satisfy the Company's withholding obligations under federal, state or other applicable tax laws with respect to the taxable income, if any, recognized by the Optionee in connection with the exercise of this Option (unless the Company and Optionee shall have made other arrangements for deductions or withholding from Optionee's wages, bonus or other compensation payable to Optionee, or by the withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option or the delivery of Shares owned by the Optionee in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Plan, provided such arrangements satisfy the requirements of applicable tax laws); and (d) a letter, if requested by the Company, in such form and substance as the Company may require, setting forth the investment intent of the Optionee, or person designated in Section 5 below, as the case may be. 2 5. Death of Optionee; No Assignment. The rights of the Optionee under this -------------------------------- Agreement may not be assigned or transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by such Optionee. Any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or dispose of this Option in contravention of this Agreement or the Plan shall be void and shall have no effect. If the Optionee's Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her death, and provided Optionee's rights hereunder shall have vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof, Optionee's legal representative, his or her legatee, or the person who acquired the right to exercise this Option by reason of the death of the Optionee (individually, a "Successor") shall succeed to the Optionee's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of -------------------------- the Plan and understands that all rights and obligations connected with this Option are set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. 7. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capital Structure. In the event that the --------------------------------------------- outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Administrator to the number of Shares subject to the unexercised portion of this Option and to the Exercise Price per share, in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits of the Optionee under this Option, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Plan. 8. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in ----------------- Section 2.4 of the Plan): (a) The right to exercise this Option shall accelerate automatically and vest in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above) effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless this Option is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option or New Incentives are to be issued in exchange therefor, as provided in subsection (b) below. If vesting of this Option will accelerate pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of this Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or "spread") between: (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option had this Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares. If the vesting of this Option will accelerate pursuant to this subsection (a), then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the Change in Control transaction to be given to the Optionee not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction. (b) The vesting of this Option shall not accelerate if and to the extent that: (i) this Option (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option of comparable value is to be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, or (ii) in the event the consideration to be received by the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Change in Control does not consist of securities, this Option (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) with other incentives of comparable value under a new incentive program ("New Incentives") containing such terms and provisions as the 3 Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable. If this Option is assumed, or if a new option of comparable value is issued in exchange therefor, then this Option or the new option shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that the Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option had this Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and appropriate adjustment also shall be made to the Exercise Price such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Option or the new option shall remain the same as nearly as practicable. (i) If the provisions of subsection (b) above apply, then this Option, the new option or the New Incentives shall continue to vest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof and shall continue in effect for the remainder of the term of this Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof. 9. No Employment Contract Created. Neither the granting of this Option nor ------------------------------ the exercise hereof shall be construed as granting to the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate at will the Optionee's employment at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved. 10. Rights as Stockholder. The Optionee (or transferee of this option by --------------------- will or by the laws of descent and distribution) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by this Option until such person has duly exercised this Option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record of the Shares purchased. 11. "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Optionee agrees that, if requested by the ---------------------------- Company or the managing underwriter of any proposed public offering of the Company's securities, Optionee will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares held by Optionee without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriter, as the case may be, during such period of time, not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company with respect to such offering, as the Company or the underwriter may specify. 12. Interpretation. This Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the -------------- Plan, and shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Administrator shall interpret and construe this Option and the Plan, and any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Administrator shall be final and binding on the Company and the Optionee. As used in this Agreement, the term "Administrator" shall refer to the committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed to administer the Plan, and if no such committee has been appointed, the term Administrator shall mean the Board of Directors. 13. Limitation of Liability for Nonissuance. During the term of the Plan, --------------------------------------- the Company agrees at all times to reserve and keep available, and to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction any requisite authority in order to issue and sell, such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy its obligations hereunder and the requirements of the Plan. Inability of the Company to obtain, from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, authority deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of its Common Stock hereunder and under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale of such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 4 14. Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be ------- given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or three (3) days after being deposited in the United States mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, (or by such other method as the Administrator may from time to time deem appropriate), and addressed, if to the Company, at its principal place of business, Attention: the Chief Financial Officer, and if to the Optionee, at his or her most recent address as shown in the employment or stock records of the Company. 15. Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation, and effect ------------- of this Option shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 16. Severability. Should any provision or portion of this Agreement be held ------------ to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions and portions of this Agreement shall be unaffected by such holding. 17.

RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER 2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN THIS RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of ___________, 200_ by and between ______________________ (hereinafter referred to as "Purchaser"), and STM WIRELESS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), pursuant to the Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to it in the Plan. R E C I T A L S: A. Purchaser is an employee, director, consultant or other Service Provider, and in connection therewith has rendered services for and on behalf of the Company. B. The Company desires to issue shares of common stock to Purchaser for the consideration set forth herein to provide an incentive for Purchaser to remain a Service Provider of the Company and to exert added effort towards its growth and success. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: 1. Issuance of Shares. The Company hereby offers to issue to Purchaser an aggregate of _____________ (_____) shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares") on the terms and conditions herein set forth. Unless this offer is earlier revoked in writing by the Company, Purchaser shall have ten (10) days from the date of the delivery of this Agreement to Purchaser to accept the offer of the Company by executing and delivering to the Company two copies of this Agreement, without condition or reservation of any kind whatsoever, together with the consideration to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2 below. 2. Consideration. The purchase price for the Shares shall be $_____ per share, or $________ in the aggregate, which shall be paid by the delivery of Purchaser's check payable to the Company (or payment in such other form of lawful consideration as the Administrator may approve from time to time under the provisions of Section 6.3 of the Plan). 3. Vesting of Shares. (a) Subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(c) below, the Shares acquired hereunder shall vest and become "Vested Shares" as to 25% of the Shares on the first anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, and thereafter, 25% of the Shares shall become Vested Shares on each subsequent anniversary date of this Agreement, such that 100% of the Shares shall be Vested Shares on the fourth (4th) anniversary of this Agreement. Shares which have not yet become vested are herein called "Unvested Shares." No additional shares shall vest after the date of termination of Purchaser's Continuous Service. As used herein, the term "Continuous Service" means (i) employment by either the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, or by any successor entity following a Change in Control, which is uninterrupted except for vacations, illness (except for permanent disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), or leaves of absence which are approved in writing by the Company or any of such other employer corporations, if applicable, (ii) service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company until Purchaser resigns, is removed from office, or Purchaser's term of office expires and he or she is not reelected, or (iii) so long as Purchaser is engaged as a consultant or Service Provider to the Company or other corporation referred to in clause (i) above. (b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if Purchaser holds Shares at the time a Change in Control occurs, all Repurchase Rights shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, and the Shares subject to those terminated Repurchase Rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent that this Agreement is continued, assumed, or substituted for by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) in connection with such Change in Control. If the Repurchase Rights automatically terminate in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (b), then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the Change in Control transaction to be given to Purchaser not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction. (c) However, if in the event of a Change in Control the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) provides for the continuance or assumption of this Agreement or the substitution for this Agreement of a new agreement of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation (with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and the purchase price), then the Repurchase Rights shall not terminate, and vesting of the Shares shall not accelerate in connection with such Change in Control. 4. Reconveyance Upon Termination of Service. (a) Repurchase Right. The Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to repurchase all or any part of the Unvested Shares (the "Repurchase Right") in the event that the Purchaser's Continuous Service terminates for any reason. Upon exercise of the Repurchase Right, the Purchaser shall be obligated to sell his or her Unvested Shares to the Company, as provided in this Section 4. (b) Consideration for Repurchase Right. The repurchase price of the Unvested Shares (the "Repurchase Price") shall be equal to the Purchase Price of such Unvested Shares. (c) Procedure for Exercise of Reconveyance Option. For sixty (60) days after the Termination Date or other event described in this Section 4, the Company may exercise the Repurchase Right by giving Purchaser and/or any other person obligated to sell written notice of the number of Unvested Shares which the Company desires to purchase. The Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares shall be payable, at the option of the Company, by check or by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Purchaser to the Company, or by any combination thereof. (d) Notification and Settlement. In the event that the Company has elected to exercise the Repurchase Right as to part or all of the Unvested Shares within the period described above, Purchaser or such other person shall deliver to the Company certificate(s) representing the Unvested Shares to be acquired by the Company within thirty (30) days following the date of the notice from the Company. The Company shall deliver to Purchaser against delivery 2 of the Unvested Shares, checks of the Company payable to Purchaser and/or any other person obligated to transfer the Unvested Shares in the aggregate amount of the Repurchase Price to be paid as set forth in paragraph 4(b) above. (e) Deposit of Unvested Shares. Purchaser shall deposit with the Company certificates representing the Unvested Shares, together with a duly executed stock assignment separate from certificate in blank, which shall be held by the Secretary of the Company. Purchaser shall be entitled to vote and to receive dividends and distributions on all such deposited Unvested Shares. (f) Termination. The provisions of this Section 4 shall automatically terminate in accordance with Section 3(b) above. (g) Assignment. The Company may assign its Repurchase Right under this Section 4 without the consent of the Purchaser. 5. Restrictions on Unvested Shares. Unvested Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, except that such Unvested Shares may be transferred to a trust established for the sole benefit of the Purchaser and/or his or her spouse, children or grandchildren. Any Unvested Shares that are transferred as provided herein remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 6. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capital Structure. In the event that the outstanding Shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then Purchaser shall be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock or securities, in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits of Purchaser under this Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Plan. Such new, additional or different shares shall be deemed "Shares" for purposes of this Agreement and subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof. 7. Shares Free and Clear. All Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered by Purchaser free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances of every nature (except the provisions of this Agreement and any conditions concerning the Shares relating to compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws), and the purchaser thereof shall acquire full and complete title and right to all of such Shares, free and clear of any claims, liens and encumbrances of every nature (again, except for the provisions of this Agreement and such securities laws). 8. Limitation of Company's Liability for Nonissuance; Unpermitted Transfers. (a) The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from any applicable regulatory agency such authority or approval as may be required in order to issue and sell the Shares to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The inability of the Company to obtain, from any such regulatory agency, authority or approval deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder and under the Plan shall relieve 3 the Company of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale of such Shares as to which such requisite authority or approval shall not have been obtained. (b) The Company shall not be required to: (i) transfer on its books any Shares of the Company which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred. 9. Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or three (3) days after being deposited in the United States mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, (or by such other method as the Administrator may from time to time deem appropriate), and addressed, if to the Company, at its principal place of business, Attention: the Chief Financial Officer, and if to the Purchaser, at his or her most recent address as shown in the employment or stock records of the Company. 10. Binding Obligations. All covenants and agreements herein contained by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. 11. Captions and Section Headings. Captions and section headings used herein are for convenience only, and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be used in construing it. 12. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated other than by written agreement of the parties. 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements and understandings of the parties, either express or implied. 14. Assignment. Purchaser shall have no right, without the prior written consent of the Company, to (i) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer any interest or right created hereby, or (ii) delegate his or her duties or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, and no other person, partnership, association or corporation shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. 15. Severability. Should any provision or portion of this Agreement be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions and portions of this Agreement shall be unaffected by such holding. 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall be binding upon Purchaser and the Company at such time as the Agreement, in counterpart or otherwise, is executed by Purchaser and the Company. 4 17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to choice of law principles, as to all matters, including, but not limited to, matters of validity, construction, effect or performance. 18. No Agreement to Employ. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate at will the Purchaser's employment at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved, subject to any other written employment agreement to which the Company and Purchaser may be a party. 19. "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Purchaser agrees in connection with any registration of the Company's securities that, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any public offering of the Company's securities, Purchaser will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company or the underwriters may specify. 20. Tax Elections. Purchaser understands that Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser's own tax liability that may arise as a result of the acquisition of the Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has considered the advisability of all tax elections in connection with the purchase of the Shares, including the making of an election under Section 83(b) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"); Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company has no responsibility for the making of such Section 83(b) election. In the event Purchaser determines to make a Section 83(b) election, Purchaser agrees to timely provide a copy of the election to the Company as required under the Code. 21. Attorneys' Fees. If any party shall bring an action in law or equity against another to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. 5 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
