REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

NetChip Technology, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NetChip Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NetChip Technology, Inc. at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NetChip Technology, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2003

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NetChip Technology, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of California in June 1996. The Company designs, develops, and markets semiconductor chips that conform to the Universal Serial Bus Standard.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's cash equivalents consisted of deposits with commercial banks in checking, interest-bearing, and demand money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market, net of an allowance for excess inventory.

Equipment, Furniture, and Fixtures

Equipment, furniture, and fixtures are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, and the cost is amortized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to net future cash flows expected to be generated from the asset.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on sales to original equipment manufacturers and end users when there is evidence of an arrangement, delivery and transfer of title has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured, generally upon shipment. The Company recognizes revenue on sales to distributors when these criteria have been met and the distributor has received a purchase commitment from an end user. In all cases, if collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized upon cash receipt assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Research and Development

Research and development costs, including nonrecurring engineering costs, are charged to operations as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), the Company has elected to account for stock options granted to employees and directors using the intrinsic-value method and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation expense for stock options granted to employees when exercise prices are equal to the fair value of the underlying common shares.

Pro Forma Information

SFAS 123 requires pro forma information regarding net income (loss), which has been determined as if the Company accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The Company estimates the fair value of these options at the date of grant using the minimum-value method with the following weighted-average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 3% and 4.5% in 2003 and 2002, respectively, a weighted-average expected life of the option from the date of grant of five years, and a dividend yield of zero.

For pro forma purposes, the estimated fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to its employees is amortized using the graded method over the options' vesting period. The effect of applying SFAS 123 to the Company's reported net income (loss) in 2003 and 2002 did not result in pro forma net income (loss) amounts that are materially different from the historical amounts reported. Therefore, such pro forma information is not presented herein.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted was $0.03 and $0 per share during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Options granted to nonemployees have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ("EITF 96- 18"). Nonemployee awards with future performance requirements that are subject to vesting are periodically remeasured to their current fair value, with the resulting value charged to expense over the period the related services are rendered. Nonemployee awards with no future performance requirements and that are fully vested are valued at the date of grant and are expensed in the period of grant. There were no option grants to nonemployees in 2003 and 2002.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income. To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in comprehensive income (loss) other than the Company's net income (loss).

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. The Company incurred $24,375 and $31,443 of advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Warranty

Due to effective product testing and the short time between product shipment and the detection and correction of product failures, the warranty accrual based on historical activity and the related expense was not significant as of and for the fiscal years presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was issued in January 2003, and a revised interpretation of FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") was issued in December 2003. FIN 46 applies to any business enterprise that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship, or business relationship with a variable interest entity ("VIE") and establishes guidance for the consolidation of VIEs that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. FIN 46 was effective immediately for enterprises with VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and will be effective January 1, 2005 for enterprises with VIEs created before February 1, 2003. The Company believes it has no investments in, or contractual or other business relationships with, VIEs. Therefore, the Company expects that the adoption of FIN 46 will not have any effect on its financial position or the results of its operations.

In November 2002, the FASB's EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF 00-21 were effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company expects that the adoption of EITF 00-21 on January 1, 2004 will not have material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with an Exit or Disposal Activity. SFAS 146 revised the accounting for exit and disposal activities under EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), by extending the period in which expenses related to restructuring activities are reported. A commitment to a plan to exit an activity or dispose of long-lived assets is no longer sufficient to record a one-time charge for most restructuring activities. Instead, companies record exit or disposal costs when they are incurred and can be measured at fair value. In addition, the resultant liabilities are subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. SFAS 146 was effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 had no effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB, issued SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 establishes standards for the classification and measurement of financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 became effective for three types of financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

3. Significant Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash equivalents and receivables. The Company invests cash that is not required for immediate operating needs, primarily in highly liquid investment-grade money market funds and deposits with major banks that bear minimal risk. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or issuers of investments to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, but generally requires no collateral. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of insolvency by its customers and limits such exposure to accounting losses by limiting the amount of credit extended whenever deemed necessary. Two of the Company's customers located in the United States accounted for approximately 53% (41% and 12%) of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. Three of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 48% (20%, 18%, and 10%) of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. Outstanding accounts receivable from these customers at December 31, 2003 and 2002, totaled $2,047,780 and $154,454, respectively. One customer had an accounts receivable balance of approximately $1,908,000 which represented more than 77% of the total outstanding receivable balance at December 31, 2003. One customer had an accounts receivable balance of approximately $60,000, which represented more than 20% of the total outstanding receivable at December 31, 2002. These customers are each large original equipment manufacturers and distributors. The loss of any one of these customers could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on past payment history with the customer, analysis of the customer's current financial condition, and other known factors. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Through December 31, 2003, the Company used two suppliers located in Japan for the manufacturing of its products. Should alternative sources of products not be available, the Company believes that this would have a significant adverse impact on its operations and financial condition.

Sales are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customers. The following is a summary of net sales by geographic area (in thousands):

5. Shareholders' Equity

Authorized Stock

Under the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation registered with the State of California Secretary of State in October 2002, the Company is authorized to issue 23,500,000 shares of common stock and 17,727,776 shares of convertible preferred stocks, of which 4,000,000, 3,305,552, 700,000, 2,222,224, and 7,500,000 shares are designated as Series A, B, C, D, and E convertible preferred stock, respectively.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In November 2002, the Company issued 7,065,000 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock for $0.20 per share, aggregating net proceeds of approximately $1,398,000, net of $15,000 in issuance costs.

In November 2001, the Company issued 1,111,112 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock for $0.90 per share, aggregating approximately $994,000. In connection with the issuance of the Series D convertible preferred stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,111,112 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock, with an exercise price of $0.90 per share. The warrants are fully vested and immediately exercisable any time up to November 2006, when they expire. The warrants were valued as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: a 60% volatility, a five-year contractual life, a $0.90 per share exercise price, no dividend yield, a 6.0% risk-free rate, and a Series D convertible preferred stock fair value of $0.90. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants ($362,000) as a component of equity.

Shares of Series A, B, C, D, and E convertible preferred stock are convertible at the option of the shareholders into an equal number of shares of common stock as determined by dividing $0.50, $0.90, $2.20, $0.90, and $0.20, respectively, by a conversion price as determined by the provisions in the convertible preferred stock agreements. At December 31, 2003, conversion would be on a one-for-one basis. The convertible preferred shareholders have voting rights equal to the voting rights of the common shareholders on an as-if- converted basis.

Shareholders of Series A, B, C, D, and E convertible preferred stock are entitled to noncumulative dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, at the rate of $0.04, $0.072, $0.176, $0.072, and $0.016 per share, respectively, per annum. Such dividends have a preference over the payment of dividends on common stock. No dividends have been declared to date.

Each holder of Series D and E convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of Series A, B, C, and common stock, the liquidation preference amount of $0.90 and $0.20, respectively, for each share of Series D and E, respectively, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. After payment has been made to the Series D and E preferred shareholders, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution shall be distributed prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of common stock, the liquidation preference amount of $0.50, $0.90, and $2.20 for each share of Series A, B, and C, respectively, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. After the preferred shareholders receive their full liquidation preferences, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share in the remaining proceeds based upon the number of shares held.

All convertible preferred shares outstanding are convertible immediately upon the earlier of the sale of the Company's common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the public offering price of which is not less than $2.00 per share and $5 million in the aggregate, or the date specified by written consent or agreement of the majority shareholders of the then- outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock.

Stock Option Plan

In October 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") that provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to key employees (including officers), consultants, and others who may be expected to contribute to the success of the Company. Under the Plan, options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be granted at no less than 100% of the fair value as determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant. All options expire no more than 10 years from the date of grant. Options generally vest over a period of four years from the date of grant, with 25% vesting after one year and 1/48 vesting each month thereafter. The Plan does not allow for early exercise of option grants. The Board of Directors has reserved 3 million shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.

A summary of the Company's Plan activity through December 31, 2003, is summarized as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The net valuation allowance increased by approximately $343,000 and $400,000 during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,000,000. The Company also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $200,000. The federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2011, if not utilized.

Utilization of the net operating loss and credits carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows (in thousands):

7. Tax-Deferred Savings Plan

The Company has a tax-deferred savings plan, commonly known as a 401(k) plan, that allows all full-time employees to contribute from 1% to 25% of their pretax salary, subject to IRS limits. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company made no contributions to the 401(k) plan.

8. Subsequent Event (unaudited)

On March 8, 2004, the Company entered into a merger agreement with PLX Technology, Inc. ("PLXT"), subject to certain closing conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, PLXT will issue common stock with an aggregate value of approximately $20 million, subject to potential adjustment, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common and preferred stock. Additional shares of PLXT common stock with a maximum aggregate value of approximately $10 million may be paid out under certain provisions approximately one year following the date of the consummation of the merger.

Each share of the Company's preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger will be automatically converted into PLXT common stock at a ratio equal to the amount of the preferred stock liquidation preference divided by $9.78.

After satisfaction of the preferred stock liquidation preferences, the remaining PLXT common shares to be issued upon consummation of the merger shall be distributed to holders of the Company's common stock based on the number of shares held.

Options to purchase the Company's common stock outstanding under the Company's stock option plan on the date of the consummation of the merger shall be converted into options to purchase PLXT common shares. At the consummation of the merger, all of the outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's preferred stock shall be cancelled in accordance with their terms.

Condensed Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

March 31, 2004

1. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial statements included in this report are unaudited. NetChip Technology, Inc. (the "Company") believes the interim financial statements are presented on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements. The Company also believes that the interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. All of these adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily predict the operating results for the full year. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles as permitted by interim reporting requirements. The information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51", which requires companies to consolidate certain types of variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is an entity that has inadequate invested equity at risk to meet expected future losses, or whose holders of the equity investments lack any of the following three characteristics: (i) the ability to make the Company's decisions about the entity's activities; (ii) the obligation to absorb the entity's losses if they occur; (iii) the right to receive the entity's future returns if they occur. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2002, the FASB's EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF 00-21 were effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 on January 1, 2004 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3. Subsequent Event

On May 24, 2004, the Company completed its merger with PLX Technology, Inc. ("PLX"), subject to certain closing conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, PLX issued 2,035,077 shares of its common stock valued at $21.4 million in exchange for the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock. PLX also assumed the Company's outstanding stock options with a total value of approximately $0.3 million. Finally, all of the outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's preferred stock was cancelled in accordance with their terms.

Additional consideration of the PLX common stock with a maximum aggregate value of approximately $10 million may be paid out under certain provisions approximately one year following the date of the consummation of the merger.

PLX TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND NETCHIP TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, assumes the business combination took place as of the beginning of the period presented. As the business combination is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PLX as of June 30, 2004 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no audited proforma combined balance sheet has been presented herein.

On a combined basis, there were no material transactions between NetChip and PLX during the periods presented. There are no material differences between the accounting policies of NetChip and PLX. The pro forma combined provision for income taxes may not represent the amounts that would have resulted had NetChip and PLX filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING

On May 24, 2004, PLX completed its merger with NetChip. Had the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2004, the pro forma purchase price of NetChip is summarized below (in thousands):


Fair value of common stock issued...... $      21,405
Fair value of options assumed..........           315
Acquisition costs......................           524
                                         -------------
Pro forma purchase price............... $      22,244
                                         =============

PLX issued an aggregate of 2,035,077 shares of its common stock valued at $21.4 million. The fair value of common stock issued was valued using the PLX market price shortly before and after the announcement date of March 8, 2004. PLX also assumed 126,419 stock options with a total value of approximately $0.3 million, net of deferred compensation. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Deferred compensation on the unvested options assumed totaled $0.9 million.

The allocation of PLX's purchase price to the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management's assessment of the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities assumed. Had the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2004, the allocation of PLX's pro forma purchase price to net tangible assets and identifiable assets acquired is summarized below (in thousands):


Net tangible assets.................... $       3,193
In-process technology..................         1,123
Goodwill and other intangible assets:
  Goodwill.............................        11,949
  Developed/Core Technology............         3,594
  Customer Base........................         2,385
                                         -------------
                                               17,928
                                         -------------
Pro forma net assets acquired.......... $      22,244
                                         =============

Of the total estimated purchase price, $1.1 million has been allocated to in-process research and development which will be charged to expense in the period during which the merger is completed. Due to its non-recurring nature, the in-process research and development expense has been excluded in both unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations.

NOTE 3. PRO FORMA NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE


Basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share for the proforma combined year ended December 31, 2003 was calculated based on the issuance of 2,035,077 shares of PLX's common stock in exchange for the capital stock of NetChip and did not include common stock equivalents from the PLX and NetChip option plans of 4.2 million and 0.2 million, respectively, because they were antidilutive. Employee stock options from the PLX option plan to purchase approximately 3.3 million shares for the three months period ended March 31, 2004 were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average share price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The unaudited pro forma adjustments to the combined statement of operations assumes the business combination took place as of the beginning of the periods presented.

  1. To record amortization of deferred stock compensation expense on unvested options assumed in connection with the acquisition of NetChip.
  2. To record amortization of other intangible assets related to the acquisition of NetChip.
