Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of California Micro Devices Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) as of September 30, 2003, results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Results for the three and six month periods are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year results.

 

The condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.

 

2. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates are based on historical experience, input from sources outside of the company, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

 

As allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” we account for our employee stock plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board’s Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and have adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123. Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” Fair value for these awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires that we estimate the volatility of our stock, an appropriate risk-free interest rate, estimated time until exercise of the option, and our dividend yield. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that do not have specific vesting schedules and are ordinarily transferable. The calculation of fair value is highly sensitive to the expected life of the stock-based award and the volatility of our stock, both of which we estimate based primarily on historical experience. As a result, the pro forma disclosures are not necessarily indicative of pro forma effects on reported financial results for future years.

Table of Contents

We generally recognize no compensation expense with respect to employee stock grants. Had we recognized compensation for the grant date fair value of employee stock grants in accordance with SFAS 123, our net loss and net loss per share would have been revised to the pro forma amounts below. For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of our stock-based grants is amortized over the options’ vesting period for stock options granted under our stock option plans and the purchase period for stock purchases under our stock purchase plan.

4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 28 (“SFAS 28”), “Earnings Per Share”, for all periods presented. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by adding the dilutive effect of other common stock equivalents, using the treasury

stock method, to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share:

The computation of diluted net loss per share for the six month period ended September 30, 2003 excludes the impact of options to purchase 3,411,985 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,290,266 shares of common stock as their inclusion would be antidilutive. Such securities, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method.

 

The computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2002 excludes the impact of options to purchase 2,963,222 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 59,250 shares of common stock as their inclusion would be antidilutive. Such securities, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method.

We are a party to lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including commercial and employment matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. We review the current

Table of Contents

status of any pending or threatened proceedings with our outside counsel on a regular basis and, considering all the other known relevant facts and circumstances, recognize any loss that we consider probable and estimable as of the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, we have not recorded any significant liability on our balance sheet for pending or threatened litigation, claims, or proceedings.

 

We have two cases pending in the Santa Clara County, State of California Superior Court in which the amount sought by the plaintiffs has been estimated by the Company that it could be between five and ten million dollars when intangible items are quantified, and therefore a verdict in their favor would be materially adverse to our business. Although several years old, both cases have been stayed by courts until fairly recently; as a result, both cases are early in the discovery phase, making it difficult to assess the probability of the opposing parties or ourselves prevailing with a significant degree of confidence. As a result, we have not made any substantial accrual for these cases.

 

The first case involves counterclaims brought on August 3, 1995, by our former CEO, Chan Desaigoudar after we sued him on May 5, 1995, for fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. The counterclaims are for, among other items, wrongful termination and improper termination of his stock option. The second case involves a former employee, Tarsaim L. Batra, who sued the company and three of our former officers, Messrs. Chan Desaigoudar, Steve Henke and Surendra Gupta, on September 13, 1993, and April 19, 1994, in two cases which have been consolidated, likewise for wrongful termination of his employment and for deprivation of his stock options. The U.S. government in the past has prosecuted Messrs. Desaigoudar, Henke, and Gupta for criminal securities law violations. Mr. Gupta plead guilty before trial while Messrs. Desaigoudar and Henke were convicted; however, their convictions were overturned and a retrial was imminent when in May 2002, they each entered a guilty plea as to one or more of the counts.

 

We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims of the opposing parties in both of these cases. Currently, we intend to vigorously pursue our defenses and/or our claims against the opposing parties in these matters. Should we unexpectedly learn facts during discovery which lead us to reasonably estimate a negative outcome to these cases, or should one or both of these cases result in a verdict for the other parties, then we will provide for such liability, as appropriate.

 

7. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive loss is principally comprised of net income (loss) and unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 approximated net loss for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

8. Income Taxes

 

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, there was no provision for income taxes, due to the net loss for the year to date periods.

 

9. Long-Term Debt

 

Our Industrial Revenue Bonds are collateralized by a lien on all of our land and buildings in Tempe, Arizona, and certain equipment acquired with the proceeds of the bonds, and require certain minimum annual sinking fund payments ranging from $205,000 in fiscal 2004 to $780,000 in fiscal 2018. We have the right to prepay the 10.5% Industrial Revenue Bond by redeeming all or part of the outstanding principal amounts without penalty. At September 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, restricted cash of $980,000 and $880,000, respectively, was held in sinking fund trust accounts. Of these amounts, $800,000 is to be used for principal and interest payments in the event of default by the Company, and the balance is used for semi-annual interest and principal payments. As of September 30, 2003, $6.5 million was outstanding under this agreement. These bonds are subject to certain covenants, including a restriction on the payment

of dividends. The financial covenants associated with these bonds are requirements to maintain minimum current and quick ratios, shareholders equity, and debt coverage, and not to exceed maximum ratios of total liabilities to equity and long-term debt to working capital. As of September 30, 2003, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. However, we had previously been out of compliance with various covenants beginning on December 31, 2001. As a result, as required by our agreements, we retained a management consulting firm which made recommendations to the Trustee and ourselves as to how we could come into compliance. As a result of previously not being in compliance with the covenants, we are subject to more frequent covenant reporting requirements which will remain in place for four successive quarters.

 

In June 2002, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) that allows us to borrow up to a total of $5.0 million under an equipment line of credit and a revolving line of credit. The amount available under the Agreement is based on the amount of eligible equipment and accounts receivable. Under the Agreement, which includes a subjective acceleration clause, we are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions and must maintain a compensating balance of $2.75 million with the bank in order to maintain our borrowing capability. The financial covenants relate to a required monthly minimum quick ratio and quarterly tangible net worth. Borrowings under the equipment line and the revolving line bear interest at an annual rate of prime plus 3.0% and prime plus 0.75%, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, the interest rate on the equipment line was 7.00%. Principal, in equal installments, and interest are due monthly for a term of 36 months for all borrowings made under the equipment line. Borrowings under the revolving credit line have a term of 12 months, with principal due at maturity and interest due in monthly installments. Borrowings under both lines are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. As of September 30, 2003, $2.2 million remained outstanding on the equipment line of credit and $2.8 million was available under the revolving line of credit. On July 31, 2003, we entered into an agreement to modify our existing Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The modification extends the term of the agreement for one additional year to July 31, 2004 and subject to compliance with various covenants allows us to borrow an additional $250,000 under the equipment line of credit and an additional $180,000 under the working capital line of credit, still subject to a combined cap of $5.0 million. The modification also reduces the compensating balance we must maintain with the bank to $2.4 million with quarterly reductions, commencing December 31, 2003, assuming we are in full compliance with the agreement. We have been in compliance with all covenants under the Agreement during the current fiscal year, although we had been out of compliance and had obtained waivers during the prior fiscal year.

 

In March 2001, we entered into an equipment financing agreement with Epic Funding Corporation which allowed us to finance $975,000 of equipment over a term of 4 years with interest at 9.6% payable in 48 installments of approximately $25,000 per month. The total outstanding obligation as of September 30, 2003 was approximately $410,000.

 

During fiscal 2003, we entered into new capital leases to finance some equipment purchases. The total outstanding capital lease obligations were $58,000 at September 30, 2003, due in monthly installments with interest rates ranging from 10.4% to 12.6%. Fixed assets purchased under capital leases and the associated accumulated depreciation were not material as of September 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003.

 

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, and amends certain other existing pronouncements. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. All provisions of the Statement, except those related to forward purchases or sales of “when-issued” securities, should be applied prospectively. The Company currently has no instruments that meet the definition of a derivative, and therefore, the adoption of this Statement has had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement requires that certain instruments that were previously classified as equity on a company’s statement of financial position now be classified as liabilities. The Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 has not had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

11. Major Customers

 

Due to our business focus on key customers in select markets, two end customers (Motorola and Guidant) each comprised 10% or more of our revenues during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003. Two end customers (Motorola and Guidant) each comprised 10% or more of our revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2002 and three end customers (Motorola, Guidant and Lumileds) each comprised 10% or more of our revenues during the six month period ended September 30, 2002. Collectively, these end customers comprised approximately 39% and 37%, and 31% and 37% of revenue for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition to these end customers, a single distributor, Epco, represented 10%, or more of our revenues for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003.

 

12. Equity Financing

 

In July 2003, we entered into a stock and warrant purchase agreement pursuant to which we (1) sold 2,444,244 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share with net proceeds of $5.2 million and (2) granted 733,273 five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share. At the Company’s option, the warrant holders, excluding our two placement agents, are obligated to exercise their warrants during the 30 days following notice from us (a “Triggering Notice) that the closing price of our stock has equaled or exceeded $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. To the extent the warrants are not exercised during this 30-day notice period, we may, but are not obligated to, terminate the warrants upon a follow-on notice to the warrant holders. In July 2003, we also granted an aggregate of 73,326 warrants to our two placement agents related to the stock and warrant financing. These warrants contain similar terms to the warrants granted to our investors except that such warrants are for a three-year term and cannot be exercised until six months after their date of grant. As required under the stock and warrant purchase agreements, and our engagement letter with the placement agents, we registered the shares we sold and the shares underlying the warrants we granted for resale to the public under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement declared effective on September 25, 2003.

 

13. Infrastructure Alignment Plan

 

On September 29, 2003, the Board of Directors approved a plan to align our internal manufacturing operations to the current business requirements. As part of the infrastructure alignment plan we identified surplus capital equipment with a total estimated loss on either sale or abandonment of approximately $384,000 of which approximately $233,000 related to equipment taken out of service during the quarter was recorded in cost of sales during the three month period ended September 30, 2003. The remaining estimated loss of approximately $151,000 will be recorded in the third fiscal quarter when the equipment is taken out of service and will be made available for sale or abandoned. The estimated loss on sale or abandonment was calculated as the difference between the estimated proceeds on the sale of the assets and the net book value of the assets. The plan also provided for the termination of approximately 61 employees for which severance costs of approximately $335,000 were recorded in cost of sales and $8,000 in selling general and administrative during the three month period ended September 30, 2003.

Table of Contents

In addition, on August 1, 2003 we terminated 27 employees primarily in our Tempe, Arizona facility for which approximately $67,000 of severance costs were recorded in the statements of operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2003.

 

14. Contingencies

 

Environmental

 

During fiscal 2003, we closed our Milpitas wafer fabrication facility. As part of the closure process, we retained a state-licensed environmental contractor familiar with this type of semiconductor manufacturing facility to prepare and implement a site closure plan and a site health and safety plan (HASP) to remove, decontaminate as necessary, and dispose of equipment and materials using approved methods and to work with the appropriate agencies to obtain certifications of closure. Upon inspection of the facility by the County of Santa Clara, one of four soil samples obtained by drilling through the floor in one room detected an elevated level of nickel. The County referred the matter to the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), which in a June 23, 2003, letter requested that the Company conduct further soil and ground water investigation to assess the nature and extent of the contamination at the site from nickel and other substances. We submitted a work plan for a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (“PEA”) in which we proposed to take additional soil samples and to prepare the engineering assessment. Based on the information available at this time, we do not know whether upon completion of the PEA if remediation will be required. The cost of any required remediation will depend upon the nature and extent of contamination that is ultimately found and any risks posed by such contamination. During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, we recorded an expense of approximately $72,000 for the estimated costs of the additional investigation and the preliminary endangerment assessment. See Note 15 Subsequent Events.

 

15. Subsequent Events

 

During October 2003, we gave the investors in our July private placement the Triggering Notice as described in Note 12. During October and November 2003, these investors exercised their 733,273 warrants resulting in total proceeds of approximately $2.2 million. In addition, other investors exercised an aggregate of 25,734 warrants resulting in total proceeds of approximately $112,000.

 

By letter dated November 4, 2003, the DTSC sent us a proposed Corrective Action Consent (“CAC”) Agreement asking us to indicate within 15 days whether we are willing to enter into the CAC Agreement form with the DTSC. The proposed CAC Agreement form requires that we implement a PEA work plan approved by the DTSC, to be followed by further investigation and to the extent determined necessary, remediation. We are evaluating the proposed CAC Agreement form. The possible outcomes at this time range from “no further action required” to a requirement for us to remediate the Site. Based on the information available at this time, we do not know whether remediation will be required. The cost of any remediation that may be required will depend upon the nature and extent of contamination that is ultimately found at the Site, and the risks posed thereby, if any.

 

On October 14, 2003, Ernst & Young LLP informed us that they were resigning as our independent auditors effective upon the completion of their quarterly review of our financial statements for the second quarter of our fiscal 2004 which ended on September 30, 2003, in connection with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

We design and sell application specific analog semiconductor products primarily for the mobile, computing and consumer electronics markets. We also design, sell and manufacture thin film resistor networks for the medical market. We are a leading supplier of application specific integrated passive (ASIP) devices and we also offer a growing portfolio of active analog semiconductors including power management and USB (Universal Serial Bus) transceiver devices. Our products provide critical signal integrity, electromagnetic interference filtering, electrostatic discharge protection, and power management solutions needed in high volume applications including personal computers, wireless communication devices and consumer electronic products. Our ASIP devices, built using proprietary manufacturing processes, integrate multiple passive components onto single chips, and in some cases enhance their functionality with the integration of active semiconductor elements, to provide single-chip solutions for densely populated, high-performance electronic systems. Our devices are significantly smaller and provide more functionality than traditional solutions using functional clusters of discrete products. With our active analog semiconductor portfolio, we seek opportunities to design standard products that are differentiated from competitive alternatives by optimizing them for specific applications. We also selectively design second source products that provide entry to new applications, complement other products in our portfolio or enhance existing customer relationships. Our active analog semiconductor solutions use industry standard manufacturing processes for cost effectiveness.

 

We focus our expertise on providing high volume, cost effective, general customer solutions for mobile electronics such as wireless handsets and other portable electronic devices and for notebook and desktop computer systems, computer peripherals, digital set top boxes and other consumer electronics applications. Our end-customers include original equipment manufacturers such as Acer, Cisco, Dell, Guidant, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Kyocera Wireless, LG, Motorola, NEC, Philips, Sony and Trigem, and original design manufacturers including Arima, Compal, and Quanta and contract manufacturers, including Celestica, Foxconn, and Solectron.

 

We were incorporated in California in 1980 and have been a public company since 1986.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net sales. Net sales for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 were $14.9 million and $26.8 million, respectively, an increase of $4.1 million or 38% and $6.7 million or 33% from the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2002. As shown in the table below, the largest component of this increase was in the mobile market followed by higher sales in the medical and computing markets.

Our revenue from other products declined during the six month period ended September 30, 2003 versus 2002. We had expected a decrease in sales of our communications, legacy and mature products as we had previously provided our customers for many of these products with end of life purchase opportunities. We expect to substantially complete shipment of end of life product orders during our fiscal third quarter. In addition, price increases for our lighting products resulted in a significant reduction in orders and we no longer expect these products to be a significant contributor to our growth in the future.

 

Units shipped during the six month period ended September 30, 2003 increased to approximately 127 million units from approximately 79 million units for the six month period ended September 30, 2002. Our increased revenue resulted primarily from larger unit sales, due in part from increased sales of current products and in part from sales of newly introduced products, and to a lesser extent, from price increases effective July 1, 2003, in our medical products. Our average unit price decreased by approximately 20% during the six month period ended September 30, 2003 versus the six month period ended September 30, 2002. This decrease was predominately the result of faster growth in our lower price products which offset our medical product price increases.

 

Our two greater than 10% customers (Motorola and Guidant) represented 39% of our revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to 31% for the same period in 2002. The same two customers represented 37% of our revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2003. Three greater than 10% customers (Motorola, Guidant and Lumileds) represented 37% of our revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2002.

Cost of Sales. The dollar increase in cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 versus the three month period ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to the greater volume of products sold, which accounted for an increase of approximately $1.7 million, along with inventory reserve provisions, which accounted for an increase of approximately $269,000. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $952,000 in manufacturing capacity and spending variances. The reduction in manufacturing variances was primarily the result of an improvement of approximately $512,000 in spending variances and an improvement of approximately $339,000 in yield variances.

 

The increase in cost of sales for the six month period ended September 30, 2003 versus the six month period ended September 30, 2002 was due to the greater volume of products sold, inventory reserve provisions, and manufacturing capacity and spending variances. The greater volume of products sold accounted for an increase of approximately $2.8 million. Inventory reserve provisions accounted for an increase of approximately $948,000. Manufacturing capacity and spending variances accounted for an increase of approximately $185,000. The increase in manufacturing variances was primarily the result of increases of approximately $496,000 in spending variances and approximately $225,000 in capacity variances, offset by an improvement of approximately $494,000 in yield variances.

Table of Contents

We have, during recent quarters, benefited from the sale of previously reserved inventory due primarily to the large number of products for which we have discontinued future support by placing them in an ‘end of life’ category. These products have been primarily sold through our distributors to an erratic and unpredictable demand by end customers. As a result, we have experienced the actual sale of some products previously reserved and the requirement to further write-down certain other products for which we had expected to receive orders, which did not occur. The benefit related to sales of previously reserved inventory was approximately $454,000 and $533,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively, and approximately $767,000 and $1.0 million for the six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively.

 

Manufacturing capacity and spending variances totaled approximately $3.5 million and $4.5 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively, and approximately $7.4 million and $7.2 million for the six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively. We continue to underutilize our internal manufacturing capacity due to the outsourcing of our manufacturing to our foundry partner. Included in manufacturing spending variances for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 were approximately $688,000 of infrastructure alignment charges comprised of approximately $233,000 related to the write-down of capital equipment, a gain on sale of capital equipment of approximately $16,000, employee termination charges of approximately $366,000 and approximately $105,000 associated with our previously closed Milpitas wafer fabrication facility. Cost of sales for the six month period ended September 30, 2002 included $440,000 for the manufacturing transition.

 

Gross Margin. Gross margin is comprised of net sales less costs of sales. The gross margin dollar and percentage increase in fiscal 2004 versus fiscal 2003 was primarily the result of a significant price increase for our medical products and the impact of higher sales volumes.

 

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for employees, prototypes, masks, and other expenses for the development of new products, process technology and new packages. The dollar increase in research and development expenses for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 versus the same periods in 2002 are primarily due to an increase in prototype material expenses and the reinstatement of our bonus plan. The percentage of revenues comprised by research and development expenses decreased during the same periods due to our increased revenue.

 

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for employees, sales commissions, marketing and promotional expenses, and legal and other professional fees. The dollar increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 versus the same periods in 2002 are primarily due to increases in sales commissions and salaries and the reinstatement of our bonus plan and directors’ expenses. The percentage of revenues comprised by selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the same periods due to our increased revenue.

 

Income Taxes. For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, there was no provision for income taxes due to the year-to-date net losses for the periods.

 

Net Income. Largely for the reasons explained above, our net income increased to approximately $682,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 from a net loss of approximately $2.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2002 while our net loss for the six month period ended September 30, 2003 decreased to approximately $538,000 compared to approximately $2.8 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2002.

and therefore, the adoption of this Statement has had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement requires that certain instruments that were previously classified as equity on a company’s statement of financial position now be classified as liabilities. The Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 has not had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We described our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2003.

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those that relate to financial line items that are key indicators of our financial performance and/or that require significant management judgment. Our critical accounting policies include those regarding (1) revenue recognition, (2) inventory and related reserves, (3) impairment of long-lived assets, and (4) litigation. We believe that we have consistently applied judgments and estimates and such consistent application fairly depicts our financial condition and results of operations for all periods presented. During the three month period ended September 30, 2003, there were no significant changes in the assumptions underlying the judgments and estimates made by management.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically financed our operations through a combination of debt and equity financing and cash generated from operations. Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2003, excluding restricted cash, were $10.4 million compared to $4.5 million at March 31, 2003. Receivables increased approximately $700,000 to $6.0 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $5.3 million at March 31, 2003, primarily as a result of increased sales. Receivables days sales outstanding were 36 and 47 days as of September 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. Days sales outstanding were lower at September 30, 2003 due to the favorable distribution of our sales during the quarter and we expect them to return to a range of 45 to 50 days in the future. Inventories increased approximately $800,000 to $4.4 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $3.6 million at March 31, 2003, as a result of higher manufacturing activity levels necessary to support our increased revenue. Capital expenditures for the six month period ended September 30, 2003, totaled approximately $106,000. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities increased by approximately $1.8 million to $7.6 million at September 30, 2003, compared to $5.8 million at March 31, 2003. This was primarily due to the increase in trade payables of approximately $800,000 and higher accrued salary and benefits of approximately $750,000.

 

Operating activities provided approximately $1.2 million of cash in the six month period ended September 30, 2003 which is comprised of our net loss for the six month period of $538,000, depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.3 million, the write-offs of discontinued inventory of approximately $853,000 and the write-down of capital equipment of approximately $233,000 and the net use of cash in other current assets and liabilities of approximately $665,000.

 

We used $186,000 of cash in investing activities during the six month period ended September 30, 2003, which was the result of capital expenditures of approximately $106,000, an increase in restricted cash related to our long-term debt of approximately $100,000 and proceeds from the sale of capital equipment of approximately $20,000.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $4.9 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2003 was the result of net proceeds from our private placement of common stock of approximately $5.2 million, repayment of long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $717,000 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to employee stock compensation plans of $393,000.

Table of Contents

In June 2002, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) that allows us to borrow up to a total of $5.0 million under an equipment line of credit and a revolving line of credit. The amount available under the Agreement is based on the amount of eligible equipment and accounts receivable. Under the Agreement, which includes a subjective acceleration clause, we are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions and must maintain a compensating balance of $2.75 million with the bank in order to maintain our borrowing capability. The financial covenants relate to a required monthly minimum quick ratio and quarterly tangible net worth. Borrowings under the equipment line and the revolving line bear interest at an annual rate of prime plus 3.0% and prime plus 0.75%, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, the interest rate on the equipment line was 7.00%. Principal, in equal installments, and interest are due monthly for the term of 36 months for all borrowings made under the equipment line. Borrowings under the revolving credit line have a term of 12 months, with principal due at maturity and interest due in monthly installments. Borrowings under both lines are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. As of September 30, 2003, $2.2 million remained outstanding on the equipment line of credit and $2.8 million was available under the revolving line of credit. On July 31, 2003, we entered into an agreement to modify our existing Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The modification extends the term of the agreement for one additional year to July 31, 2004 and subject to compliance with various covenants allows us to borrow an additional $250,000 under the equipment line of credit and an additional $180,000 under the working capital line of credit, still subject to a combined cap of $5.0 million. The modification also reduces the compensating balance we must maintain with the bank to $2.4 million with quarterly reductions, commencing December 31, 2003, assuming we are in full compliance with the agreement. We have been in compliance with all covenants under the Agreement during the current fiscal year although we had been out of compliance and had obtained waivers during the prior fiscal year.

 

Our Industrial Revenue Bonds are subject to certain financial covenants. The financial covenants associated with these bonds are requirements to maintain minimum current and quick ratios, shareholders equity, and debt coverage, and not to exceed maximum ratios of total liability to equity and long term debt to working capital. As of September 30, 2003, we were in compliance with all financial covenants, however we had previously been out of compliance with various covenants beginning on December 31, 2001. As a result, as required by our agreements, we retained a management consulting firm which made recommendations to the Trustee and ourselves as to how we could come into compliance. As a result of previously not being in compliance with the covenants, we are subject to more frequent covenant reporting requirements which remain in place for four successive quarters.

 

The following table summarized our contractual obligations at September 30, 2003.

In the future, it is possible that our liquidity could be impacted in order to resolve our two pending litigation matters and/or environmental issues arising out of the closure of our Milpitas wafer fabrication facility. At present, we do not have a reasonable basis to assess the likelihood of potential future costs. As to the two pending litigation matters, we will be better positioned to evaluate whether we are reasonably likely to incur additional expenses to satisfy any judgment or fund any settlement once discovery has proceeded further and any preliminary motions have been decided. As to the environmental issues, we will be better positioned to evaluate whether we are reasonably likely to incur additional expenses to remediate the subject property once we obtain additional core samples and evaluate the risks associated with any contamination they may show. The environmental issues and two litigation matters are discussed in more detail in the footnotes to our financial statements.

Operating and capital requirements depend on many factors, including the levels at which we maintain revenue, margins, inventory, accounts receivable and operating expenses. We may wish to purchase additional production equipment to support a portion of the increases in plant capacity at our foundry and assembly test partners which may require additional equipment financing which we may not be able to obtain on terms we consider reasonable or may require us to use more of our cash resources than we currently have planned. In addition, we may wish to raise additional equity capital to provide us with cash reserves and to fund future growth such as to support the increased levels of receivables and inventory associated with any continued growth in revenue.

 

We currently anticipate that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing in order to expand our operations to the level we desire. The funds may not be available to us, or if available, we may not be able to obtain them on terms favorable to us.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

No material changes have occurred from our report on Form 10-K for the period ending March 31, 2003.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q and have determined that they are reasonable.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. In connection with their audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, our independent auditors informed us that they had noted a combination of factors which taken together constituted a material weakness in our internal controls. The material weakness included issues with our inventory costing systems and procedures, accounts payable cutoff, information systems user administration, and finance organization. Subsequent to March 31, 2003, we have instituted additional processes and procedures to improve our internal control over financial reporting including those identified by our independent auditors. As a result, we believe that we no longer have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, although some key controls are manual and are consequently inefficient. We are continuing our efforts to improve and automate our financial processes and procedures.

 

Among these additional processes and procedures we instituted the following:

 

Inventory costing:

 

We have continued to use and make minor refinements to the manual valuation process in place during fiscal 2003 as augmented by supplemental manual cross check processes instituted during our fiscal 2003 audit. We added a parallel process using a database which enables us to validate and cross check the manual valuation process. We have retained IT consultants who are working with us to re-implement inventory costing in our manufacturing and cost accounting system software which is known as Workstream.

Table of Contents

Accounts payable cutoff:

 

Activity has been moved from our wafer fab facility in Tempe, Arizona to our Milpitas, California headquarters facility where all other finance functions are performed. We have hired a larger and more capable team to be responsible for accounts payable. We have instituted a supplemental process with our major subcontractors whereby they provide us with an electronic monthly statement of all charges during the first two days after each period end so that we can review and accrue any invoices that we have not previously received. We have implemented a more complete review process of open invoices for which goods and services have been received prior to the balance sheet date to accrue the costs in the correct period.

 

Information systems:

 

We have revised our user administration process to promptly change an individual’s access privileges when their status or requirements change. We have revised all user accounts and deactivated unused accounts and made sure that there is a responsible individual associated with all active accounts.

 

Finance Organization:

 

We have hired several key personnel in the finance organization, including our corporate controller.

 

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered in this Form 10-Q which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control except to the extent that the foregoing were significant changes instituted during our second fiscal quarter, which materially affect such control.

 

Cautionary Statement

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry; our beliefs and assumptions; and our goals and objectives. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, and “estimates”, and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of the kinds of forward-looking statements in this report include statements regarding the following (1) our expectation that we have meritorious defenses to pending litigations, (2) our expectation that we will substantially complete shipment of our end of life communications, legacy and mature product orders during our third quarters, (3) our anticipation that receivables days outstanding will increase back to their prior levels in the near terms, (4) our view that we may need to devote material sums we are unable to currently estimate in order to dispose of pending litigations or remediate our closed Milpitas wafer fab, (5) the possibility that we may wish to purchase additional production equipment to support a portion of the increase in plant capacity at our foundry and assembly test partners and, (6) our anticipation that our cash will be sufficient to meet our requirements for the next 12 months. These statements are only predictions, are not guarantees of future performance, and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those set forth in this report and in our other SEC filings, in particular our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2003 ended March 31, 2003 and our Form 8-K current report filed on September 25, 2003. These risks and uncertainties also include whether our marketing and sales focus will enable us

to penetrate our selected markets; whether those markets continue to exhibit demand for our products and whether there is price erosion in such markets, in part due to whether there is competition in such markets; whether our market focus, which has led to Motorola and Guidant each comprising more than 10% of our sales, will increase our customer concentration and leave us vulnerable to problems involving sourcing decisions of our larger customers; our ability to forecast our cash requirements and cash availability and our ability to stay in compliance with our bank credit line and bond covenants or else to obtain a waiver of non-compliance or default; the ability of our third party wafer fab vendors to meet in a timely manner our demand for high yield, high quality wafers; whether we will learn unexpected facts during litigation and whether the trier of fact will believe our witnesses who in once case may be convicted felons; whether core samples at our Milpitas site will display more contamination than expected, whether we run into production difficulties or higher than anticipated demand for our end of life products and whether once we cease manufacturing these products we will be able to reduce expenses as much as we anticipate. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

There have been no material developments this past quarter to the litigation matters described in our Form 10-K annual report.

 

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On July 30 and 31, 2003, we closed a private placement of our common stock and raised $5.5 million, with net proceeds of $5.2 million. We sold 2,444,244 shares of our no par value common stock to 9 investors at $2.25 per share and granted them five-year warrants to purchase 733,273 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share which are immediately exercisable. Should we issue shares of stock to third parties at a price of less than $3.00 per share, other than certain exempt issuances such as for example to employees, then the exercise price of these warrants is decreased by a weighted average formula; however, the number of shares issuable upon their exercise does not increase in such circumstances. At the Company’s option, the warrant holders are obligated to exercise their warrants during the 30 days following notice from us that the closing price of our stock has equaled or exceeded $5.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. To the extent the warrants are not exercised during this 30-day notice period, we may, but are not obligated to, terminate the warrants upon a follow-on notice to the warrant holders.

 

The private placement was conducted without registration under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of such Act and Rule 506 promulgated under such Section. We registered the resale of these shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in an S-3 registration statement which was declared effective by the SEC on September 25, 2003. In addition to cash fees, on July 31, 2003, we issued the placement agents three-year warrants to purchase 73,326 shares of our no par value common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, which are exercisable 6 months after July 31, 2003. These warrants were sold in reliance upon similar exemptions from registration and the shares underlying these warrants were included in the registration statement described above. These warrants do not contain anti-dilution protection but do contain a somewhat similar call feature to the investor warrants.

 

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

CALIFORNIA MICRO DEVICES CORPORATION

 

STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 28th day of July, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), by and among California Micro Devices Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), and each of the persons listed on the signature pages hereto (each of whom is herein referred to individually as an “Investor” and collectively as the “Investors”). The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale of Stock and Warrants.

 

1.1 Sale and Issuance of Common Stock Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor severally (and not jointly and severally) agrees to purchase at the Closing (as defined below), and the Company agrees to issue and sell to each Investor at the Closing, that number of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) set forth above such Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto at a price per Share equal to $2.25 (the “Purchase Price”), up to an aggregate of the lesser of (i) 2,444,444 Shares and (ii) that number of Shares such that the Company does not require approval of its shareholders for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Maximum”)..

 

1.2 Sale and Issuance of Warrants Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor severally (and not jointly and severally) agrees to purchase at the Closing, and the Company agrees to issue and sell to each Investor at the Closing, a warrant to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”), equal to thirty percent (30%) of the number of Shares purchased by such Investor, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

1.3 Closings The purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants (the “Closing”) shall occur in two closings, the first to occur no later than July 30, 2003 (the “First Closing”), and the second to occur no later than August 1, 2003 (the “Second Closing”). Any Investor in the Second Closing must have become a party to this Agreement prior to the end of the day on which the First Closing occurs. Except when specifically designated as the “First Closing” or the “Second Closing,” references to the “Closing,” the “Closings” or the “Closing Date” in this Agreement will refer to the First Closing and/or the Second Closing, as applicable by their context, and to those parties participating in the applicable Closing. The Closings will each occur at a place and time to be specified by the Company and Needham & Company, Inc. and Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc. (collectively, the “Placement Agents”). Those Investors participating in each such Closing will be notified of such place and time not less than one (1) business day in advance by the Placement Agents.

 

(a) The First Closing. The First Closing shall be for the purchase and sale of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants to Investor s affiliated with Special Situations Funds (“Special Situation Funds”) At the First Closing, after receipt of payment of $4,000,050, the Company shall arrange delivery to Special Situations Funds of one or more stock certificates representing 1,777,800 Shares, and one or more Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 533,340 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, each to be registered in the name of Special Situations Funds.

 

-1-


(b) The Second Closing. The Second Closing shall be for the purchase and sale of up to the difference between the Maximum less 1,777,800 Shares and Warrants to purchase 30% of Shares sold in the Second Closing. The Investors who participate in the Second Closing shall be accredited institutional Investors who must be pre-approved by Special Situations Funds, except that no pre-approval is required for the funds affiliated with Columbus Capital, Gruber & McBaine, Kern Capital, Proximity Capital, Royce Associates, and T. Rowe Price. At the Second Closing, after receipt of payment for the number of shares listed above such Investor’s name on the signature pages attached hereto, the Company shall arrange delivery to such Investor of one or more stock certificates representing the number of Shares, and one or more Warrants, each to be registered in the name of the Investor.

 

(c) Preliminary Schedule of Investors. The parties acknowledge that, with the exception of Special Situations Funds, the schedule of Investors attached hereto as Schedule A is a preliminary schedule of investors.

For each full calendar month after the First Closing that the Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC, each Investor shall be paid an amount in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of the Purchase Price times the number of Shares originally acquired by such Investor. For each full calendar month after the First Closing, starting with three (3) months after the First Closing and ending with twenty-four (24) months after the First Closing, that the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC, each Investor shall be paid an amount, in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of the Purchase Price times the number of Shares originally acquired by such Investor. Each such payment shall be made within fifteen days of when the payment obligation accrued.

 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the end of the Registration Period;

 

(c) notify Investors promptly upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and furnish to the Investors with respect to the shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement, prospectuses and preliminary prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares or Warrant Shares by the Investor;

 

(d) file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Investor, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

 

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on Nasdaq in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement under Section 4.1(a);

 

(f) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraph (a) through (e) of this Section 4.1 and the registration of the Shares and the Warrant Shares pursuant to the

 

-13-


Registration Statement other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Investors or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Investors, if any.

 

(g) provide that all Shares and Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement will be listed on the Nasdaq National Market or other securities market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or traded.

 

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4.1 that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Investor, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Shares and the Warrant Shares.

 

4.2 Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension

 

(a) Subject to Section 4.4, the Investors agree that they will not offer to sell, solicit offers to buy, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any right (each, a “Disposition”) with respect to the Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except pursuant to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 4.1, and that they will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement after it is prepared regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution.

 

(b) In addition to any suspension rights under paragraph (c) below, the Company may, upon the happening of any event, that, in the good faith judgment of Company’s board of directors upon the opinion of counsel, renders it advisable to suspend use of the prospectus for no more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period of time due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or similar events, suspend use of the prospectus on written notice to each Investor, in which case each Investor shall discontinue disposition of Shares or the Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement or prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to the Investors or until the Investors are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed.

 

(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event of: (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares or the Warrant Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (iv) any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein

 

-14-


not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the Investors (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investors will refrain from selling any Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Investors’ receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible within twenty (20) business days after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investors. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including without limitation at law or equity), available to the Investors, the Investors shall be entitled to specific performance in the event the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.2(c).

 

(d) Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investors may sell Shares or Warrant Shares under the Registration Statement, provided that the selling Investor arranges for delivery of a current prospectus to the transferee of such Shares or Warrant Shares.

 

(e) In the event of a sale of Shares or Warrant Shares by an Investor, such Investor must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, so that ownership of the Shares or Warrant Shares may be properly transferred.

 

(f) For so long as the Company will have a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file, on a timely basis, any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and keep all such reports and public information current to the extent required by Rule 144 under the Securities Act for a period of two (2) years after the Closing.

 

4.3 Indemnification For the purpose of this Section 4.3 only, (i) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 4.1(a); and (ii) the term “untrue statement” shall include any untrue statement or any omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor (and each person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Investor (or such person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based

 

-15-


upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or (ii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Investor (and each person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act) for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Investor to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in Section 3 or 4.2 hereof or any statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor.

 

(b) Each Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) and each other Investor from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) or other Investor may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon a breach of its covenants and agreements contained in Section 3 or 4.2 hereof or any statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement if such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the indemnifying Investor in writing specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the indemnifying Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person) or other Investor, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; providing further that, the Investor’s obligations to indemnify under this subsection (b) shall be limited to the amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Investor’s Shares hereunder.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 4.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 4.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 4.3. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its

 

-16-


election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investors on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the gross amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Shares to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investors’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Shares to which such loss relates and not joint.

 

4.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations The conditions precedent imposed by Section 4 upon the transferability of the Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the shares of Common Stock when such shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

 

-17-


5. Conditions of each Investor’s Obligations at Closing The obligations of each Investor under subparagraph 1.1 of this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment on or before the Closing of each of the following conditions, the waiver of which shall not be effective against any Investor who does not consent in writing thereto:

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

OF

CALIFORNIA MICRO DEVICES CORPORATION

 

This certifies that, for value received as provided under a Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated July     , 2003 (the “Purchase Agreement”),                                  (“Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from California Micro Devices Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), in whole or in part, such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of no par value common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) equal to three-tenths (0.30) of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Warrant Shares”) at the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2). The number, character and Exercise Price of such shares of Common Stock are subject to adjustment as provided below and all references to “Warrant Shares” and “Exercise Price” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall mean this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

 

1. Term of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m., Pacific standard time, on the fifth anniversary of issue, and shall be void thereafter (the “Exercise Period”). This Warrant shall expire prior to the end of Exercise Period if and when it has been exercised in full.

 

2. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be $3.00.

 

3. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder only by the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) during the Exercise Period, and the delivery of payment to the Company, for the account of the Company, by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier’s check, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Notice in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

-1-


The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Holder as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) days, thereafter. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No adjustments shall be made on Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Holder shall be deemed to be the record holder of such Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes, and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section 3.

 

4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

 

5. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

 

6. Rights of Shareholder. Subject to Sections 9 and 11 of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance of assets, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.

 

7. Transfer of Warrant.

 

A. Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may change his address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this

 

-2-


Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

B. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(A) above, issuing the Warrant Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at the office of such agent.

 

C. Transferability and Nonnegotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may be transferred to “affiliates” of the Holder, as defined in Rule 405, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, with the prior written consent of the Company, to other persons, provided that such transferee agrees to be bound by the other restrictions on transfer applicable to the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by the Company). However, no investment representation letter or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof in compliance with Rule 144(k) and no opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof) in compliance with Rule 144A; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 7(C). Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the Holder executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.

 

D. Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers and contained in this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.

 

E. Compliance with Securities Laws.

 

i. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as presently in effect.

 

ii. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is being, and the Warrant Shares would be, acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise

 

-3-


dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

 

iii. This Warrant and Warrant Shares shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

 

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER OR SALE MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD HEREOF TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.

 

The Company agrees to remove promptly, upon the request of the holder of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, the legend set forth in Section 7(E)(iii) above from the documents/certificates for such securities upon full compliance with this Agreement and either Rule 144(k) or after a sale in the public market in compliance with Rule 144.

 

8. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the term this Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock for the issuance of the Warrant Shares. The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, all as set forth herein, will be free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein).

 

9. Notices.

 

A. In case:

 

i. the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

ii. of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into

 

-4-


another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

iii. of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder or Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed no later than the time similar notice is mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock.

 

B. All such notices, advices and communications as required by the terms of this Warrant shall be made and be deemed to have been received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (ii) in the case of next day courier service such as Federal Express, one business day after it is delivered to the courier service for US addresses and two business days for foreign addresses, and (iii) in the case of mailing by certified mail, on the third (3rd) business day following the date of such mailing if sent to a U.S. address and on the tenth (10th) business day following the date of such mailing if sent to an address outside the U.S.

 

10. Amendments. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company or the Holder of the Warrant against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. An amendment of rights, preferences, or privileges of the Common Stock, including a change in the par value of the Common Stock; an event described in Section 9A or 11A of this Warrant; or any other like action shall not be treated as an amendment of this Warrant.

 

11. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

A. Reclassification, etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reorganization or reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 11.

 

B. Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a

 

-5-


different number of securities of the same class, then (i) in the case of a split or subdivision, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased, and (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately increased and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

 

C. Adjustments for Distributions in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible Shareholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend or otherwise, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 11.

 

D. Mergers, Consolidation, or Asset Sale. If any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive common stock, other securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock, then, as a condition to such merger, consolidation, or asset sale, adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of Warrants shall thereafter have the right to receive such shares of common stock, other securities, or assets upon the exercise of the Warrant as though the Holder had exercised the Warrant in full immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or asset sale and received Shares which were thereafter effected by the merger, consolidation, or asset sale and the resulting shares of common stock, other securities, or assets were thereafter held and effected by any subsequent events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if only cash, assets, and/or promissory notes not convertible into equity are issued in such merger, consolidation, or asset sale, then the Company may cause the Warrants to terminate upon the consummation of such merger, consolidation, or asset sale, provided that the Company has provided the Holder with at least fifteen (15) business days notice of such merger, consolidation, or asset sale.

 

E. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 11, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request, at any time, of any such Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect; and (iii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

-6-


F. No Impairment. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. An event described above in this subsections A, B, C, and D of this Section 11 for which appropriate adjustment is made or an event described in Section 9A of which the Holder is given timely notice pursuant to Section 9, shall not be deemed under any circumstance to be an impairment of this Warrant.

 

12. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12, the Warrant Price, but not the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.

 

A. For the term of this Warrant, in addition to the provisions contained above, the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. An adjustment to the Warrant Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.

 

B. Except as provided in subsection (C) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (B)(i) through (B)(vii) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each such case (a “Trigger Issuance”) the then-existing Warrant Price, shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price determined as follows:

 

Adjusted Warrant Price =

 

        (A x B) + D


   

              A+C

 

where

 

“A” equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below) deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

 

“B” equals the Warrant Price in effect immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;

 

“C” equals the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the Trigger Issuance; and

 

“D” equals the aggregate consideration, if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger Issuance provided, however, that in no event shall the Warrant Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be greater than the Warrant Price in effect prior to such Trigger Issuance.

 

-7-


For purposes of this subsection (B), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to this subsection (B), other than Excluded Issuances (as defined in subsection (C) hereof).

 

For purposes of this subsection (B), the following subsections (B)(i) to (B)(vii) shall also be applicable:

 

i. Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (a) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (b) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 12 (B)(iii), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

ii. Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (a) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such

 

-8-


Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Warrant Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 12 (B)(iii), no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 12 (B).

 

iii. Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in subsection 12 (B)(i) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 12 (B)(i) or 12 (B)(ii), or the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 12 (B)(i) or 12 (B)(ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted (upwards or downwards) to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 12 (B) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 12 (B) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

 

iv. Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12 (B), in case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.

 

v. Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other

 

-9-


than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Warrantholder). The Board of Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Warrantholder as to the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and the Warrantholder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Warrantholder shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Warrantholder.

 

vi. Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

vii. Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this subsection 12 (B).

 

C. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Warrant Price in the case of the issuance of (a) capital stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company in connection with their service as directors of the Company, their employment by the Company or their retention as consultants by the Company pursuant to an equity compensation program approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, (b) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Options or Convertible Securities issued prior to the date hereof, (c) securities issued pursuant to the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreements dated as of July 28, 2003, among the Company and the Investors named therein and securities issued upon the

 

-10-


exercise or conversion of those securities, (d) shares of Common Stock issued, deemed issued, or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant), (e) Common Stock issued or deemed issued to banks or leasing companies in connection with working capital or equipment lines of credit/financing, and (f) Common Stock issued or deemed issued as the payment of the purchase price of an acquisition of another entity (collectively, “Excluded Issuances”).

 

13. Miscellaneous.

 

A. This Warrant shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into in the State of California by and among residents of the State of California, without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions therein.

 

B. In the event of a dispute with regard to the interpretation of this Warrant, the prevailing party may collect the cost of attorney’s fees, litigation expenses or such other expenses as may be incurred in the enforcement of the prevailing party’s rights hereunder.

 

C. This Warrant shall be exercisable as provided for herein, except that in the event that the expiration date of this Warrant shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday and or United States federally recognized Holiday, the expiration date for this Warrant shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. Pacific standard time on the business day following such Saturday, Sunday or recognized Holiday.

 

D. This Warrant and any document or agreements executed by the parties pursuant to this Warrant constitute the full and complete understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto.

 

14. Call Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the closing price of a share of Common Stock as traded on the Nasdaq (or such other exchange or stock market on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted) equals or exceeds $5.00 (as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other reclassification or combination of the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) for twenty (20) consecutive trading days and all of the Warrant Shares have been registered for resale by Holder pursuant to a Registration Statement (as defined in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement) which has been declared effective by the SEC and which is available for sales of the Warrant Shares by Holder during the “Notice Period” as defined below, the Company, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (such thirty (30) days comprising the “Notice Period”) given to the Holder during the one-month period immediately following such twenty (20) trading day period, may demand that the Holder exercise this Warrant and purchase all of the Warrant Shares prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, and the Holder will be obligated to do so. To the extent such exercise is not effected, the Company may, but is not required to, elect to have this Warrant expire and terminate effective at the expiration of the Notice Period.

We have acted as counsel for California Micro Devices Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of July 31, 2003 (the “Agreement”), by and between the Company and each of you. This letter is provided to you in satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 5.5 of the Agreement. The Agreement provides, among other things, for the sale and purchase of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s no par value Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). Terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Agreement.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined the Agreement and its exhibits, including the form of Warrant, records of proceedings of the directors and shareholders of the Company, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and public officials, and such other documentation as we have deemed necessary or advisable in order to render the opinions expressed herein.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth below, it is our opinion that:

 

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has the requisite corporate power to own its property and assets and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted.

 

2. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations under the terms of such

Agreement. The Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions contained therein may be limited by applicable law or the application of principles of public policy.

 

3. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the issuance of the Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Agreement do not violate the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, and do not (i) violate or contravene any governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company that in our experience is generally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Agreement (without our having made any investigation concerning the applicability of any other statue, rule or regulation) or (ii) violate or contravene any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award known to us that has been entered against the Company.

 

4. We are not aware of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against the Company before any court or administrative agency, or that the Company has received any written threat thereof, that questions the validity of the Agreement.

 

5. No approval, authorization or other action by any federal or state governmental authority or filing (other than filings solely for information purposes or to obtain action that is not the subject of governmental discretion) with any such authority that has not been obtained or accomplished is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement.

 

6. The Shares and Warrants have been duly authorized and, the Shares and Warrant Shares, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

7. Based in part upon your representations in Section 3 of the Agreement, the offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the offer and sale of the Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of the Agreement are exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended.

The foregoing opinion is subject to such matters as are set forth in the Agreement and the following assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions:

 

(a) We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as photostatic or telecopied originals, the legal capacity of all natural persons, and as to documents executed by entities other than the Company, that each such entity has complied with any applicable requirement to file tax returns and pay taxes under California Franchise Tax law and had the power to enter into and perform its obligations under such documents, and that such documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and are binding upon and enforceable against such entities. We have also assumed that the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Agreement are true and correct as to matters of fact and that the representations and warranties made by each of you in the Agreement are true and correct.

 

(b) This opinion is limited in all respects to matters governed by the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion concerning the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. We express no opinion as to federal or state antifraud or antitrust laws or regulations or, except as expressly provided in paragraph 7 above, to the securities or blue sky law of any jurisdiction. We express no opinion in clause (i) of Paragraph 3 as to ordinances and regulations of counties and political subdivisions thereof.

 

(c) We assume that you know of no agreements, understandings or negotiations between the parties not set forth in the Agreement that would modify the terms or rights and obligations of the parties thereunder.

 

(d) Our opinion in paragraph 2 above is subject to and limited by (i) the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally, (ii) the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (iii) the effect of applicable court decisions, invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where

the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon a party thereto, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or burdens is reasonably necessary for the protection of the other party, or the enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would violate the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied under applicable law, and (iv) the effect of California Civil Code Section 1698 and of statutes and rules of law that cannot be waived prospectively by an obligor.

 

(e) Whenever a statement herein is qualified by “to our knowledge,” “known to us,” “we are not aware,” or similar phrase, it indicates that in the course of our representation of the Company no information that would give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement has come to the attention of the attorneys in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with this transaction. We have not made any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of such statement, except as expressly described herein. No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company in other matters in which such attorneys are not involved.

 

This opinion is rendered solely for your information in connection with the transaction described above and may not be delivered to or relied upon by any other person for any purpose without our prior written consent.

 

Very truly yours,

Re: Amendment to October 7, 2002 Letter Agreement

 

Dear Chad and Marshall:

 

This letter (this “Amendment”) confirms the agreement between Needham & Company, Inc. and Adams, Harkness & Hill, Inc. (the “Placement Agents”) on the one hand, and California Micro Devices Corporation (the “Company”) on the other hand, to amend their October 7, 2002 Letter Agreement (the “Original Letter Agreement”).

 

This Amendment will apply and be effective only with respect to the proposed private placement of up to 2,444,466 shares of the Company’s common stock, accompanied by warrant coverage of up to an additional 733,339 shares of common stock, as described in the Company’s term sheet dated July 24, 2003 (the “Offering”). The Offering is currently expected to close in one or two separate closings, with the lead investor, Special Situations Funds and its affiliated entities, closing on July 30, 2003, and additional investors closing on July 30, 2003; July 31, 2003; or August 1, 2003.

 

The Placement Agents and the Company hereby amend the Original Letter Agreement as follows:

 

The first line of Section 6(b) of the Original Letter Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “An advisory fee equal to 4% of the gross proceeds on all sales of Securities made in the . . .”

 

The first sentence of Section 6(c) of the Original Letter Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Warrants (the “Warrants”), issuable at the first and any subsequent closing of the sales of Securities, to purchase that amount of securities equal to 3% of the Securities sold in the Offering.”

 

The Placement Agents further agree that, if the securities issued pursuant to the Offering, either calculated alone or in combination with the issuance of the Warrants, would otherwise result in an issuance of securities that would require the approval of the Company’s shareholders, the Company will require that the first date that the Warrants will be exercisable shall be no

earlier than six months after the second of the two closings. The Company currently expects that such a restriction will be necessary in order to issue the securities without a shareholder vote not only on the Warrants being issued to the Placement Agents but also perhaps on 300 of the warrants being issued to one of the investors.

 

Please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with our understanding by signing and returning to us the enclosed duplicates of this letter.

 

Sincerely yours,
