Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Alliance Semiconductor Corporation (the "Company" or "Alliance") in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosure, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries, and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2001. For purposes of presentation, the Company has indicated the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001 as ending on December 31; whereas, in fact, the Company's fiscal quarters ended on December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000, respectively. The financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001 were reported on a 13-week quarter. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2002, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

Note 3. Investment in Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. In February and April 1995, the Company purchased shares of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. ("Chartered") for approximately $51.6 million and entered into a manufacturing agreement whereby Chartered agreed to provide a minimum number of wafers from its 8-inch wafer fabrication facility known as "Fab 2," if Alliance so chooses. In October 1999, Chartered successfully completed an initial public offering in Singapore and the United States. The Company accounts for its investment in Chartered as an available for sale marketable security in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"). At December 31, 2001, the Company owned approximately 1.6 million American Depository shares or "ADSs" of Chartered common stock and had recognized a gross unrealized gain of approximately $15.5 million, net of tax of approximately $5.6 million, as part of the accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company wrote down its investment in Chartered and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately of $11.2 million. Given the market risk for securities, when these shares are ultimately sold, it is possible that additional gain or loss will be reported. If the Company sells more than 50% of its original holdings of Chartered, the Company will -5- start to lose a proportionate share of its wafer production capacity rights, which could materially affect its ability to conduct its business. Note 4. Investment in United Microelectronics Corporation At December 31, 2001, the Company owned approximately 282.1 million shares of the common stock of United Microelectronics Corporation ("UMC"), representing approximately 2% ownership. The portion of the investment in UMC for which sale of shares is restricted beyond twelve months (approximately 40.2% of the Company's holdings at December 31, 2001) is accounted for as a cost method investment and is presented as a long-term investment. As this long-term portion becomes current over time, the investment will be transferred to short-term investments and will be accounted for as an available-for-sale marketable security in accordance with SFAS 115. The long-term portion of the investment becomes unrestricted between 2003 and 2004. In the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, the Company sold 15.8 million and 42.0 million shares of UMC stock and recorded a pre-tax non-operating loss of approximately $76,000 and $34.7 million, respectively. The Company sold the stock in order to comply with the restrictions on its loan agreement with Citibank, due to the decline in the stock price of UMC over the quarter. At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company wrote down its investment in UMC and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $460.0 million. At September 30, 2001, the Company wrote down its investment in UMC and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $250.9 million. At December 31, 2001, the Company owned 168.8 million shares of UMC that are available-for-sale and recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $99.4 million, net of taxes of approximately $40.1 million, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. Given the market risk for securities, when these shares are ultimately sold, it is possible that additional gain or loss will be reported. If the Company sells more that 50% of its original holdings of UMC, the Company will start to lose a proportionate share of its wafer production capacity rights, which could materially affect its ability to conduct its business. Note 5. Investment in Broadcom Corporation The Company accounts for its investment in Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom") as an available-for-sale marketable security in accordance with SFAS 115. In July 2001, the Company sold 125,000 shares of Broadcom common stock, recognizing a pre-tax, non-operating gain of approximately $1.6 million. In August 2001, the Company entered into a "cashless collar" derivative contract with a brokerage firm relating to 75,000 shares of Broadcom. The Company accounts for its derivative contract as a derivative instrument in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133") (see Note 13). At December 31, 2001, the Company owned 75,000 shares of Broadcom and recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $1.8 million, net of taxes of approximately $737,000, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. In the December 2000 quarter, the Company sold 100,000 shares of Broadcom recording a gain of approximately $5.3 million. For the first nine months of fiscal 2001, the Company has recorded approximately $21.9 million in realized gain on the sale of 250,891 shares of Broadcom stock. At the end of the fourth quarter fiscal 2001, the Company wrote down its investment in Broadcom and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $3.8 million. Note 6. Investment in Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation The Company accounts for its investment in Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation ("Vitesse") as an available-for-sale marketable security in accordance with SFAS 115. In January 2001, the Company entered into two derivative contracts ("Agreements") with a brokerage firm and received aggregate cash proceeds of $31.5 million. The Agreements have repayment provisions that incorporate a collar arrangement with respect to 490,000 shares of Vitesse Semiconductor common stock. The Company accounts for its derivative contracts as a derivative instrument in accordance with SFAS 133 (see Note 13). At December 31, 2001, the Company owned in total 728,293 shares of Vitesse and recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $1.2 million, net of taxes -6- of approximately $481,000, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. Vitesse's stock, like many other high technology stocks, has historically experienced material and significant fluctuations in market value, and will probably continue to do so in the future. Additionally, because it is common that high technology stocks, like Vitesse's and the Company's, sometimes move as a group, it is likely that Vitesse's stock and the Company's stock can both suffer significant loss in value at the same time, as occurred in fiscal years 2002 and 2001. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company's investment in Vitesse will increase in value or even maintain its value. Note 7. Investment in PMC-Sierra Corporation The Company records its investment in PMC-Sierra Corporation ("PMC") as an available for sale marketable security in accordance with SFAS 115. At the end of the fourth quarter fiscal 2001, the Company wrote down its investment in PMC and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $10.8 million. In the second fiscal quarter of 2002, the Company wrote down its investment in PMC recognizing a non-operating pre-tax loss of approximately $1.0 million. At December 31, 2001, the Company owns 68,152 shares of PMC common stock and recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $845,000, net of taxes of approximately $288,000, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. PMC's stock, like many other high technology stocks, has historically experienced material and significant fluctuations in market value, and will probably continue to do so in the future. Additionally, because it is common that high technology stocks, like PMC's and the Company's, sometimes move as a group, it is likely that PMC's stock and the Company's stock can both suffer significant loss in value at the same time, as occurred in fiscal years 2002 and 2001. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company's investment in PMC will increase in value or even maintain its value. Note 8. Investment in Adaptec Inc. In June 2000, the Company through its venture arm Alliance Venture Management, LLC, made an investment in Platys Communications, Inc. ("Platys"), a developer and marketer of advanced storage networking products. On August 25, 2001, Adaptec Inc. ("Adaptec") acquired Platys. In connection with the acquisition, the Company received 1,540,961 shares of Adaptec common stock and $15.9 million in cash, of which $4.5 million is held in an escrow account and is classified on the balance sheet as an other current asset, and recorded a pre-tax, non-operating gain of approximately $28.6 million. In the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company sold 100,000 shares of Adaptec recording a non-operating pre-tax gain of approximately $403,000. In December 2001, the Company entered into a derivative contract with a brokerage firm and received aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. The Contract has repayment provisions that incorporate a collar arrangement with respect to 362,173 shares of Adaptec common stock. The Company accounts for its derivative contract as a derivative instrument in accordance with SFAS 133 (see Note 13). At December 31, 2001, the Company owns 1,440,961 shares of Adaptec and recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $6.1 million, net of tax of approximately $2.5 million, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. Adaptec's stock, like many other high technology stocks, has historically experienced material and significant fluctuations in market value, and will probably continue to do so in the future. Additionally, because it is common that high technology stocks, like Adaptec's and the Company's, sometimes move as a group, it is likely that Adaptec's stock and the Company's stock can both suffer significant loss in value at the same time, as occurred in fiscal years 2002 and 2001. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company's investment in Adaptec will increase in value or even maintain its value. -7- Note 9. Investment in Magma Design Automation In December 1999, the Company, through its venture arm Alliance Venture Management, LLC, made an investment in Magma Design Automation ("Magma"). On November 20, 2001, Magma successfully completed its initial public offering (Nasdaq: "LAVA"). In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, in connection with the offering, the Company recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $1.8 million, net of tax of approximately $733,000, after distribution of the management fee to Alliance Venture Management LLC, based on the IPO price of $18.36 per share. The Company accounts for its investment in Magma as an available-for-sale marketable security in accordance with SFAS 115. At December 31, 2001, the Company had recorded a gross unrealized gain of approximately $5.9 million, net of tax of approximately $2.4 million, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. Magma's stock, like many other high technology stocks, has historically experienced material and significant fluctuations in market value, and will probably continue to do so in the future. Additionally, because it is common that high technology stocks, like Magma's and the Company's, sometimes move as a group, it is likely that Magma's stock and the Company's stock can both suffer significant loss in value at the same time. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company's investment in Magma will increase in value or even maintain its value. Note 10. Alliance Venture Management, LLC In October 1999, the Company formed Alliance Venture Management, LLC, ("Alliance Venture Management"), a California limited liability corporation, to manage and act as the general partner in the investment funds the Company intended to form. Alliance Venture Management does not directly invest in the investment funds with the Company, but is entitled to a management fee out of the net profits of the investment funds. This management company structure was created to provide incentives to the individuals who participate in the management of the investment funds, by allowing them limited participation in the profits of the various investment funds, through the management fees paid by the investment funds. In November 1999, the Company formed Alliance Ventures I, LP ("Alliance Ventures I") and Alliance Ventures II, LP ("Alliance Ventures II"), both California limited partnerships. The Company, as the sole limited partner, owns 100% of the shares of each partnership. Alliance Venture Management acts as the general partner of these partnerships and receives a management fee of 15% of the profits from these partnerships for its managerial efforts. At the inception of Alliance Venture Management in November 1999, series A member units and series B member units in Alliance Venture Management were created. The unit holders of series A units and series B units receive management fees of 15% of investment gains realized by Alliance Ventures I and Alliance Ventures II, respectively. In February 2000, upon the creation of Alliance Ventures III, LP ("Alliance Ventures III"), the management agreement for Alliance Venture Management was amended to create series C member units which are entitled to receive a management fee of 16% of investment gains realized by Alliance Ventures III. In January 2001, upon the creation of Alliance Ventures IV, LP ("Alliance Ventures IV") and Alliance Ventures V, LP ("Alliance Ventures V"), the management agreement for Alliance Venture Management was amended to create series D and E member units which are entitled to receive a management fee of 15% of investment gains realized by Alliance Ventures IV and Alliance Ventures V, respectively. Each of the owners of the series A, B, C, D and E member units paid the initial carrying value for their shares of the member units. While the Company owns 100% of the common units in Alliance Venture Management, it does not hold any series A, B, C, D or E member units and does not participate in the management fees generated by the management of the investment funds. Several of the Company's senior management hold the majority of the series A, B, C, D or E member units of Alliance Venture Management. As of December 31, 2001, Alliance Ventures I, whose focus is investing in networking and communication start-up companies, has invested approximately $23.1 million in nine companies, with a fund allocation of $20.0 million. Alliance Ventures II, whose focus is in investing in internet start-up ventures, has invested approximately $9.1 million in 10 companies, with a total fund allocation of $15.0 million. As of December 31, 2001, Alliance Ventures III, whose focus is investing in emerging companies in the networking and communication market areas, has invested $39.3 million in 14 companies, with a total fund allocation of $100.0 million. As of December 31, 2001, Alliance Ventures IV, whose focus is investing in emerging companies in the semiconductor market areas, has -8- invested $14.2 million in four companies, with a total fund allocation of $40.0 million. As of December 31, 2001, Alliance Ventures V, whose focus is investing in emerging companies in the networking and communication market areas, has invested $14.2 million in eight companies, with a total fund allocation of $60.0 million. The Company accounts for its investments in Alliance Ventures I, II, III, IV and V under the consolidation method. Several of the investments made by Alliance Venture Management through Alliance Ventures I, II, III, IV and V ("Alliance Ventures") are accounted for under the equity method due to the Company's ability to exercise significant influence on the operations of the investees resulting primarily from ownership interest and/or board representation. For the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, the total equity in the loss of equity investees was approximately $1.9 million and $1.6 million, net of tax. For the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, the total equity in the loss of investees was approximately $3.6 million and $6.3 million, net of tax, respectively. In the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2002, the Company wrote down Alliance Ventures investments and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $4.5 million, $2.0 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. Certain of the Company's officers have formed private venture funds, which invest in some of the same investments as the Company. Alliance Venture Management generally directs the individual funds to invest in startup, pre-IPO (initial public offering) companies. These types of investments are inherently risky and many venture funds have a large percentage of investments decrease in value or fail. Most of these startup companies fail, and the investors lose their entire investment. Successful investing relies on the skill of the investment managers, but also on market and other factors outside the control of the managers. While the Company has been successful in some of its recent investments, there can be no assurance as to any future or continued success. It is possible there will be a downturn in the success of these types of investments in the future and the Company will suffer significant diminished success in these investments. It is possible that many or most, and maybe all of the Company's venture type investments may fail, resulting in the complete loss of some or all the money the Company has invested in these types of investments. Note 11. Investment in Solar Venture Partners, LP Through December 31, 2001, the Company has invested $12.5 million in Solar Venture Partners, LP ("Solar"), a venture capital partnership whose focus is in investing in early stage companies in the areas of networking, telecommunications, wireless, software infrastructure enabling efficiencies of the Web and e-commerce, semiconductors for emerging markets and design automation. Due to the Company's majority interest in Solar, the Company accounts for Solar under the consolidation method. Some of the investments Solar has made are accounted for under the equity method due to the Company's ability to exercise significant influence on the operations of the investees resulting primarily from ownership interest and/or board representation. In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an equity in the loss of investees of approximately $743,000 and wrote down certain Solar investments by $750,000. Certain of the Company's directors and officers are the general partners of Solar and run the day-to-day operations. Furthermore, certain of the Company's officers and employees have also invested in Solar. Solar has made investments in some of the same companies as Alliance Ventures I, II, III, IV, and V. Note 12. Investment in Tower Semiconductor Corporation In August 2000, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Tower Semiconductor ("Tower") under which Alliance committed to make a $75.0 million strategic investment in Tower as part of Tower's plan to build its new fabrication facility ("fab"). In return for its investment, Alliance will receive equity, corresponding representation on Tower's Board of Directors and committed production capacity in the advanced fab, which Tower intends to build. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased 1,233,241 ordinary shares of Tower and future wafer purchase credits for an aggregate purchase price of $31.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company purchased an additional 366,690 ordinary shares of Tower and future wafer purchase credits for an aggregate purchase price of $11.0 million. The Company has an obligation to purchase an additional 1,100,070 ordinary shares in three equal increments upon occurrence of certain events relating to Tower's construction of FAB 2 as specified in the agreement between the Company and -9- Tower. These additional shares are expected to be purchased by the Company during fiscal 2002 and 2003. The Company accounts for its investment in Tower under the cost method. At September 30, 2001, due to an "other-than-temporary" decline in the value of the stock, the Company wrote down its investment in Tower, recording a pre-tax, non-operating loss of $20.6 million. In connection with the share purchase agreement, the Company entered into a foundry agreement under which the Company is entitled to a certain amount of credits towards future wafer purchases from Tower. The amount of credits is determined upon each share purchase transaction by Alliance and is calculated based on the difference between Tower's average stock price for 30 days preceding a purchase transaction and Alliance's share purchase exercise price. On August 11, 2001, approximately $16.0 million of the Company's wafers purchase credits were converted to approximately 1.3 million ordinary shares in Tower at a per share price of $12.75. The Company has purchased a total of 2.9 million ordinary shares of Tower and future wafer purchase credits for an aggregate purchase price of $42.0 million. At December 31, 2001, such wafer credits from Tower totaled $5.1 million and are included in other assets on the balance sheet. The wafer purchase credits will be utilized as the Company purchases wafers from Tower in the future where 15% of order value will be applied against the wafer purchase credits. Under the terms of the foundry agreement, the Company is guaranteed a capacity of up to 15% of available wafers but not to exceed 5,000 wafers starts per month. The guaranteed capacity may be reduced if the Company elects not to exercise its additional share purchase obligation. Note 13. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company has investments in the common stock of Vitesse, Broadcom and Adaptec (see Notes 5, 6 and 8 above). The Company's investments expose it to a risk related to the effects of changes in the price of Vitesse, Broadcom and Adaptec common stock. The financial exposure is monitored and managed by the Company. The Company's risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating results. The Company uses cashless collars, which are combinations of option contracts, and forward sales to hedge this risk. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in share prices, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is a risk that the counterparty might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates repayment risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is a liability, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, does not assume any repayment risk. The Company minimizes its credit (or repayment) risk in derivative instruments by (1) entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties, (2) limiting the amount of its exposure to each counterparty, and (3) monitoring the financial condition of its counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair market value. On the date that the Company enters into a derivative contract, it designates the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, or (2) an instrument that is held for trading or non-hedging purposes (a "trading" or "non-hedging" instrument). Since April 1, 2001, the Company has designated all derivative contracts as a fair value hedge and has not entered into derivatives for purposes of trading. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in the current period earnings. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair-value hedges to specific assets on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses (both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. When it is determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of a hedged item, (2) that the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or (3) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. -10- In January 2001, the Company entered into two derivative contracts ("Derivative Agreements") with a brokerage firm and received aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $31.0 million. The Derivative Agreements have repayment provisions that incorporate a collar arrangement with respect to 490,000 shares of Vitesse Semiconductor common stock. The Company, at its option, may settle the contracts by either delivering Vitesse shares or making a cash payment to the brokerage firm in January 2003, the maturity date of the Derivative Agreements. The number of Vitesse shares to be delivered or the amount of cash to be paid is determined by a formula in the Derivative Agreements based upon the market price of the Vitesse shares on the settlement date. Under the Derivative Agreements, if the stock price of Vitesse exceeds the ceiling of the collar, then the settlement amount also increases by an amount determined by a formula included in the Derivative Agreements (generally equal to the excess of the value of the stock over the ceiling of the collar.) If the stock price of Vitesse declines below the floor of the collar, then the settlement amount also decreases by an amount determined by a formula included in the Derivative Agreements (generally equal to the excess of the floor of the collar over the value of the stock.) In August 2001, the Company entered into a cashless collar arrangement with a brokerage firm with respect to 75,000 shares of Broadcom common stock. The collar arrangement consists of written call option to buy 75,000 shares of Broadcom common stock at a price of $64.72 and a purchase put option to sell 75,000 shares at a price of $36.72 through August 2002. In December 2001, the Company entered into a derivative contract with a brokerage firm and received aggregate cash proceeds of $5.0 million. The contract has repayment provisions that incorporate a collar arrangement with respect to 362,173 shares of Adaptec common stock. The Company has to deliver a certain number of Adaptec shares in June 2003, the maturity date of the contract. The number of Adaptec shares to be delivered is determined by a formula in the contract based upon the market price of the Adaptec shares on the settlement date. Under the contract, if the stock price of Adaptec is outside of the collar (the floor of which is $16.26 and the ceiling of which is $21.99), the number of Adaptec shares to be delivered equals 362,173. If the stock price of Adaptec is within the collar, the Company will have to deliver that number of Adaptec shares having total value equal to $5.9 million. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (herein referred to as "SFAS 133"), on April 1, 2001. In accordance with transition provisions of SFAS 133, the Company recorded an approximate $2.1 million cumulative effect adjustment in earnings during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. At the end of the December 2001 quarter, the Company recorded a loss of $5.5 million relating to the Vitesse hedged instrument, offset by a gain of $2.5 million on the Vitesse investments. The Company recognized a loss of $1.2 million for the Broadcom hedged instrument offset by a gain of $1.2 million, on the Broadcom investment. The Company also recorded a gain of $162,000 relating to the Adaptec derivative contract and a loss of $405,000 on the Adaptec investments. Note 14. Short-term borrowings During fiscal 2001, the Company borrowed approximately $22.2 million from a brokerage firm, secured by a portion of its holdings in Chartered, bearing interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum. The outstanding balance on the loan at December 31, 2001, was approximately $16.1 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Citibank, N.A. to borrow up to $60.0 million. The loan matured on November 19, 2001 and incurred interest at LIBO Rate plus 1%. The borrowings under the loan were secured by approximately 181.7 million shares of UMC common stock held by the Company. On November 16, 2001, the Company paid off its loan in full with Citibank for an aggregate sum of $17.3 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company converted an account payable of $14.4 million, to UMC and a subsidiary of UMC, to a secured loan that matures in August 2002. The loan bears an interest rate of 7.5%, and is collateralized by 16.7 million shares of UMC. The outstanding balance on the loan approximated $14.4 million at December 31, 2001. -11- In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Ltd, to borrow up to $46.0 million. The loan is secured by UMC stock with the aggregate value at least 250% of the outstanding loan balance. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and matures on December 7, 2002. The loan requires compliance with certain restrictive covenants with which the Company was in compliance at December 31, 2001. The outstanding balance on the Chinatrust loan approximated $30.2 million at December 31, 2001. Note 15. Comprehensive Income The following are the components of comprehensive income:
Three months ended Nine months ended December 31, December 31, ------------------- ----------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 --------- --------- ----------- ----------- Net income (loss) ($11,019) $10,949 ($222,446) $60,682 Unrealized gain 80,845 (130,673) 78,741 (303,942) (loss) on marketable securities, net of deferred taxes of $53,495 and $52,075 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001 and ($89,686) and ($208,608) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2000 --------- --------- ----------- ----------- Comprehensive income $69,826 ($119,724) ($143,705) ($243,260) (loss) ========= ========= =========== ===========
Note 16. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds obtained upon exercise of stock options. The computations for basic and diluted EPS are presented below:
Three months ended Nine months ended December 31, December 31, -------------------- ------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ---------- -------- --------- -------- Net income (loss) ($11,019) $10,949 ($222,446) $60,682 ========== ======== ========= ======== Weighted average shares 41,311 41,296 41,005 41,380 outstanding Effect of dilutive employee - 925 - 1,131 stock options ---------- -------- --------- -------- Average shares outstanding 41,311 42,221 41,005 42,511 assuming dilution ========== ======== ========= ======== Net income (loss) per share: Basic ($0.27) $0.27 ($5.42) $1.47 ========== ======== ========= ======== Diluted ($0.27) $0.26 ($5.42) $1.43 ========== ======== ========= ========

-12- Note 17. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141 requires the purchase method accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 141 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 142 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements. In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provision of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, and is effective for the fiscal years beginning December 15, 2001 as well as interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 144 will address the impairment of goodwill and non-amortizable intangibles. The Company is currently reviewing these statements to determine its effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Note 18. Legal Matters In July 1998, the Company learned that a default judgment was entered against the Company in Canada, in the amount of approximately $170.0 million, in a case filed in 1985 captioned Prabhakara Chowdary Balla and TritTek Research Ltd. v. Fitch Research Corporation, et al., British Columbia Supreme Court No. 85-2805 (Victoria Registry). The Company, which had previously not participated in the case, believes that it never was properly served with process in this action, and that the Canadian court lacks jurisdiction over the Company in this matter. In addition to jurisdictional and procedural arguments, the Company also believes it may have grounds to argue that the claims against the Company should be deemed discharged by the Company's bankruptcy in 1991. In February 1999, the court set aside the default judgment against the Company. In April 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave by the Court to appeal this judgment. Oral arguments were made before the Court of Appeals in June 2000. In July 2000, the Court of Appeals instructed the lower Court to allow the parties to take depositions regarding the issue of service of process, while also setting aside the default judgment against the Company. The plaintiffs appealed the setting aside of the default judgment against the Company to the Canadian Supreme Court. In June 2001, the Canadian Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of the setting aside of the default judgment against the Company. The Company believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and its results of operations. In November 2001 Amstrad plc ("Amstrad") filed suit against the Company in England in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. This claim is based on allegations that a batch of 15,000 parts supplied by the Company, and which were incorporated into Amstrad products, were defective. The Company has investigated whether there are sufficient grounds to dispute the jurisdiction of the English Court to hear this case. In November 2001, the Company had filed suit in the California Superior Court for $45,000 owed for the parts sold to Amstrad that were not paid for. In January 2002, the California Superior Court granted Amstrad's motion to quash the Company's California action for lack of jurisdiction. As a consequence, there are no grounds to dispute the jurisdiction of the English Court to hear Amstrad's suit. The Company has prepared a detailed defense to Amstrad's suit, which will be filed in February 2002. The Company believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and its results of operations. In February 1997, Micron Technology, Inc. filed an antidumping petition with the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC") and United States Department of Commerce ("DOC"), alleging that SRAMs fabricated in -13- Taiwan were being sold in the United States at less than fair value, and that the United States industry producing SRAMs was materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan. After a final affirmative DOC determination of dumping and a final affirmative ITC determination of injury, DOC issued an antidumping duty order in April 1998. Under that order, the Company's imports into the United States on or after approximately April 16, 1998 of SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan are subject to a cash deposit in the amount of 50.15% (the "Antidumping Margin") of the entered value of such SRAMs. (The Company posted a bond in the amount of 59.06% (the preliminary margin) with respect to its importation, between approximately October 1997 and April 1998, of SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan.) In May 1998, the Company and others filed an appeal in the United States Court of International Trade (the "CIT"), challenging the determination by the ITC that imports of Taiwan-fabricated SRAMs were causing material injury to the U.S. industry. Following two remands from the CIT, the ITC, on June 12, 2000, reversed its original determination that Taiwan-fabricated SRAMs were causing material injury to the U.S. industry. The CIT affirmed the ITC's negative determination on August 29, 2000, and Micron appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC"). On September 21, 2001, the CAFC affirmed the ITC's negative injury determination. The Company had made cash deposits in the amount of $1.7 million and had posted a bond secured by a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $1.7 million relating to the Company's importation of Taiwan-manufactured SRAMs. The balances remained unchanged at December 31, 2001. In January 2002, the decision of the CIT was made final and the DOC revoked the order and instructed the U.S. Customs Service to refund the Company's cash deposits with interest. Note 19. Subsequent Event On January 17, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of PulseCore, Inc. ("PulseCore"), as previously announced in October 2001. The acquisition cost was approximately $5 million payable in cash, with $115,000 paid at closing, and the remainder payable in March 2003. All of the employees of PulseCore have accepted positions with the Company. PulseCore will operate as the core of Alliance's new mixed signal division, specializing in high speed and low power mixed signal design, and provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression integrated circuits to manufacturers of computer peripherals, communication and digital consumer products. -14- ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS When used in this report, the words "expects," anticipates," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Net revenues decreased by 90% to $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from $63.8 million for the similar period in 2000 but increased $1.2 million or approximately 24% over the September 2001 quarter. The decrease in revenue from the December 2000 quarter was the result of inventory reduction efforts by our customers and a slowdown in demand that started in the September 30, 2000 quarter. The increase in net revenue over the September 2001 quarter was the result of a 63% increase in unit shipments offset in part by a 24% decrease in average selling prices ("ASP"). Revenues from the Company's DRAM products contributed approximately 45% of the Company's net revenues for the December 2001 quarter and approximately 57% of the Company's net revenues for the December 2000 quarter. The DRAM revenues decreased by approximately 92% to $2.9 million in the December 2001 quarter from $36.6 million for the December 2000 quarter but increased $367,000 or approximately 45% over the September 2001 quarter. The decrease in revenue for DRAMs from the December 2000 quarter was the result of inventory reduction efforts by our customers and a slowdown in demand. The increase in net revenues over the September 2001 quarter was attributed to an increase in unit shipments of approximately 45% offset in part by a decrease in ASPs by approximately 22%. Revenues from the Company's SRAM products contributed approximately 54% of the Company's net revenues for the December 2001 quarter and approximately 42% of the Company's net revenues for the December 2000 quarter. The SRAM revenues decreased by approximately 87% to $3.4 million in the December 2001 quarter from $27.1 million for the December 2000 quarter but increased $835,000 or approximately 33% over the September 2001 quarter. The decrease in revenue for SRAMs from the December 2000 quarter was the result of inventory reduction efforts by our customers and a slowdown in demand. The increase in net revenues over the -16- September 2001 quarter was attributed to an increase in unit shipments of approximately 89% offset in part by a decrease in ASPs by approximately 30%. In the December 2001 quarter, sales to the computing market segment and non-PC market segment (i.e. communication, networking and consumer) accounted for approximately 32% and 68% of total sales. Whereas in the December 2000 quarter, approximately 10% of the Company's sales were in the computing market segment and 90% in the non-PC market segments. In the December 2001 quarter, sales by geographic areas were 33%, 38% and 29% for U.S., Asia and Europe, respectively. Whereas during the December 2000 quarter, U.S., Asia and Europe accounted for 37%, 42% and 21%, respectively. No customers accounted for net revenues greater than 10% in the December 2001 or December 2000 quarter. Net revenues for the nine-months ended December 31, 2001 decreased by 87% to $23.5 million from $175.7 million during nine-months ended December 31, 2000. The revenue decrease during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2000, was primarily due to significant decreases in unit volumes and ASPs. Revenues from the Company's SRAM products during the nine-months ending December 31, 2001 accounted for approximately $12.5 million or 53% of the total net revenues, with DRAMs accounting for approximately $10.8 million or 46%. This compares to SRAM products sales during the nine-months ending December 31, 2000 of approximately $74.2 million or 42% of the total revenues, with DRAMs accounting for approximately $101.1 million or 58%. For the nine-months ended December 31, 2001, sales to the computing market segment accounted for approximately 27% of total sales, with 73% attributable to sales in the communication, networking and consumer markets whereas during the nine months ended December 31, 2000, approximately 18% of the Company's sales were in the computing market segment and 82% in the non-PC market segments (i.e. communications, networking and consumer). The Company's sales and marketing focus is primarily in the communications, networking, wireless and consumer markets. The geographic breakdown of sales for the nine months ending December 31, 2001, was 31% in U.S., 38% in Asia, and 31% in Europe, whereas during the nine months ending December 31, 2000, U.S., Asia, and European sales accounted for approximately 37%, 45% and 18%, respectively, of net revenues. The largest customer accounted for approximately 4.6% of the Company's net revenues during the first nine months ended December 31, 2001, whereas the largest customer for the first nine months ended December 31, 2000, accounted for approximately 6.4%. Generally, the markets for the Company's products are characterized by volatile supply and demand conditions, numerous competitors, rapid technological change, and product obsolescence. These conditions could require the Company to make significant shifts in its product mix in a relatively short period of time. These changes involve several risks, including, among others, constraints or delays in timely deliveries of products from the Company's suppliers; lower than anticipated wafer manufacturing yields; lower than expected throughput from assembly and test suppliers; and less than anticipated demand and selling prices. The occurrence of any problems resulting from these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. Gross Profit (Loss) Gross loss for the December 2001 quarter was $4.7 million, or 74% of net revenues compared to a gross profit of $21.3 million or 33% for the December 2000 quarter. The decrease in gross profits was primarily related to a 73% decrease in unit shipments and a 63% reduction in the ASPs, which was driven by the weak market demand. During the December 31, 2001 quarter, the Company took a $1.0 million write-down of its inventory due to scrapping of certain wafers. The inventory write-down accounted for 16% of the 74% gross loss reported in the December 2001 quarter. The gross loss for December 2001 quarter compared to the September 2001 quarter was $12.8 million less. This was due to the Company taking a $10.4 million inventory write-off in the September 2001 as well as the December quarter units shipments increasing 63% despite the ASP decreasing by 24%. -17- The gross loss was approximately $27.3 million, or 116% of the net revenues, for the first nine months ended December 31, 2001. This compares to a gross profit of approximately $63.3 million or 36% of net revenues for the nine months ending December 31, 2000. The Company took an approximate $17.4 million inventory write down as a result of the weak market demand as well as the erosion of its ASPs for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. The Company is subject to a number of factors which may have an adverse impact on gross margins including the availability and cost of products from the Company's suppliers; increased competition and related decreases in average unit selling prices; changes in the mix of products sold; timing of new product introductions and volume shipments; and antidumping duties related to the importation of products from Taiwan. In addition, the Company may seek to add additional foundry suppliers and transfer existing and newly developed products to more advanced manufacturing processes. The commencement of manufacturing at a new foundry is often characterized by lower yields, as the manufacturing process is refined. There can be no assurance that one or more of the factors set forth in this paragraph will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's gross margins in future periods. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist principally of salaries and benefits for engineering design, contracted development efforts, facilities costs, equipment and software depreciation and amortization, wafer masks and tooling costs, test wafers and other expense items. Research and development expenses were $2.0 million, or 32% of net revenue in the December 2001 quarter, compared to $3.1 million, or 5% of net revenue, for the December 2000 quarter. In absolute dollars, these expenses decreased approximately $1.1 million or 34% from the December 2000 quarter. Research and development expenses in the first nine months ending December 31, 2001, were $7.2 million, or 31% of net revenues compared to $10.2 million, or 6% for the first nine months ending December 31, 2000. The reduction in expenses for the December 2001 quarter as compared to the December 2000 quarter, as well as during the nine months ending December 31, 2001 versus the first nine months ending December 31, 2000, was due to a decrease in mask and tooling costs. During the December 2001 quarter and the first nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Company's development efforts focused on advanced process and design technology involving SRAMs, DRAMs and Flash memory products. The Company believes that investments in research and development are necessary to remain competitive in the marketplace and accordingly, research and development expenses may increase in absolute dollars and may also increase as a percentage of net revenue in future periods. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses generally include salaries and benefits, sales commissions, marketing costs, travel, equipment depreciation and software amortization, facilities costs, bad debt expense as well as insurance and legal costs for the Company's sales, marketing, customer support and administrative personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.6 million, or 56% of net revenue in the December 2001 quarter compared to $4.8 million, or 8% of net revenue in the December 2000 quarter. In absolute dollars, these expenses decreased approximately $1.2 million or 25% from the December 2000 quarter. For the nine months ending December 31, 2001, expenses were $12.0 million, or 51%, compared to $14.6 million, or 8%, for the nine months ending December 31, 2000. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the December 2001 quarter versus December 2000 quarter, as well as during the nine months ended December 31, 2001, versus the nine months ended December 31, 2000, was primarily the result of decreased sales commissions due to the decrease in revenues, as well as decreased headcount and personnel related costs. -18- Selling, general and administrative expenses may increase in absolute dollars and may also fluctuate as a percentage of net revenues in the future primarily due higher commissions, which are dependent on the level of revenues as well as increased headcount and personnel related costs. Gain (Loss) on Investments In the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a $219,000 gain on its investments. The net gain consisted of a gain of $3.4 million relating to sales of investments and $3.3 million gain on hedged investments offset by $6.5 million loss on derivative instruments. For the nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Company has recorded $7.6 million in losses from its investments. Transactions relating to the Company's Platys holdings being bought out by Adaptec has resulted in a gain of approximately $28.6 million. The Company sold 100,000 shares of Adaptec recording a non-operating pre-tax gain of approximately $403,000. In addition, the Company recognized a gain of $162,000 on the Adaptec hedge instrument and a loss of $405,000 on the Adaptec investment. The Company sold 125,000 shares of Broadcom in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.6 million. For the nine months ended December 2001, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $770,000 on its Broadcom investment and a gain of approximately $172,000 on the Broadcom hedge instrument. The Company recorded a loss on the sales of UMC stock of approximately $34.8 million. The Company also recored a loss of approximately $5.4 million on its Vitesse investment, and an offseting gain of $2.9 on the Vitesse hedge instrument. In the December 2000 quarter, the Company recognized a gain on investments of approximately $5.3 million as a result of selling 100,000 shares of the Company's Broadcom Corporation marketable securities. In the first nine months of fiscal 2001, the Company sold 236,631 shares of Broadcom, recording a gain of approximately $21.9 million, sold 500,000 shares of Chartered reporting a gain of $33.5 million and reported a gain of approximately $11.0 million as a result of the PMC acquisition of Malleable. The Company received 68,152 shares of PMC, after the distribution of the management fee to Alliance Venture Management, in connection with the Malleable acquisition. Other Income (Expense), Net Other Income (Expense), net represents interest income from short-term investments and interest expense on short and long-term obligations. Other expense, net was approximately $1.4 million in the December 2001 quarter compared to Other Income, net of approximately $200,000 in the December 2000 quarter. This increase in expense was attributed to higher interest on outstanding loans. For the nine months ended December 31, 2001, Other expense, net was approximately $3.6 million as compared to Other Income, net of approximately $473,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. Write-Down of Marketable Securities and Other Investments At the end of the December 2001 quarter, the Company wrote off three of its investments managed by Alliance Venture Management and Solar resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.8 million. During the first six months of fiscal year 2002, marketable securities held by the Company experienced significant declines in their market value primarily due to the downturn in the semiconductor sector and general market conditions. Management has evaluated the marketable securities for potential "other-than-temporary" declines in their value. Such evaluation included researching commentary from industry experts, analysts and other companies, all of who were not optimistic that the semiconductor sector would recover in the next quarter or two or three. Based on the continuing depression in the investments' stock prices from those originally used to record the investment and coupled with the expectation that the stock prices will not significantly recover in the next six to nine months, as well as the unfavorable business conditions for the companies in the semiconductor industry in general (including lower fabrication facility capacity at UMC), management determined that a write down was necessary as of September 30, 2001. As the result, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $287.5 million during the September 2001 quarter, based on the quoted market price of the respective marketable securities at September 30, 2001. -19- At the end of the June 2001 quarter, the Company wrote down one of its investments managed by Alliance Ventures Management LLC, and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $4.5 million. At the end of the September 2001 quarter, the Company wrote down another Alliance Ventures investment and recognized a pre-tax, non-operating loss of approximately $2.0 million. At the end of the December 2001 quarter, the Company wrote down an Alliance Ventures investment for $1.0 million and two Solar investments for a total of $750,000. These write-downs are recorded in the Write-down of Marketable Securities and other investments. Provision for Income Taxes Income tax benefits for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001 were approximately $4.6 million and $137.1 million, respectively, for an overall effective tax rate of 38.8%. These income tax benefits were largely the result of the write down in marketable securities in the September 2001 quarter. Income tax expense for the December 2000 quarter was approximately $5.7 million and $41.0 million for the nine months ended, December 31, 2000, for an overall effective tax rate of 38.7%. Equity in Loss of Investees Several of the Alliance Venture and Solar investments are accounted for under the equity method due to the Company's ability to exercise significant influence on the operations of the investees resulting primarily from ownership interest and/or board representation. For the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, the total equity in the loss of investees was approximately $2.4 million and $1.9 million, net of tax. For the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the total equity in the loss of investees was approximately $7.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle - Adoption of SFAS 133 The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (herein referred to as "SFAS 133"), on April 1, 2001. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company entered into two derivative instruments, to hedge its investment in Vitesse Semiconductor common stock (see Note 13). The Company has designated these arrangements as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, the Company recorded approximately $2.1 million cumulative effect adjustment in earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141 requires the purchase method accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of interests-method. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 141 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions upon adoption for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the testing for impairment of existing goodwill and other intangibles. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 142 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements. In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 144"), "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provision of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and -20- Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for impairment or disposal of long- lived assets including amortizable intangibles and is effective for the fiscal years beginning December 15, 2001 as well as interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS No. 144 will address the impairment of goodwill and non-amortizable intangibles. The Company is currently reviewing this statement to determine its effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Factors That May Affect Future Results The Company's quarterly and annual results of operations have historically been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly and other fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including general economic conditions; changes in pricing policies by the Company, its competitors or its suppliers; anticipated and unanticipated decreases in unit average selling prices of the Company's products; fluctuations in manufacturing yields, availability and cost of products from the Company's suppliers; the timing of new product announcements and introductions by the Company or its competitors; changes in the mix of products sold; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; the gain or loss of significant customers; increased research and development expenses associated with new product introductions; market acceptance of new or enhanced versions of the Company's products; seasonal customer demand; and the timing of significant orders. Results of operations could also be adversely affected by economic conditions generally or in various geographic areas, other conditions affecting the timing of customer orders and capital spending, a downturn in the market for personal computers, or order cancellations or rescheduling. Additionally, because the Company is continuing to increase its operating expenses for personnel and new product development to be able to support increased sales levels, the Company's results of operations will be adversely affected if such increased sales levels are not achieved. The markets for the Company's products are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, product obsolescence and significant price competition and, as a result, are subject to decreases in average selling prices. The Company experienced significant deterioration in the average selling prices for its SRAM and DRAM products during the first three quarters of fiscal 2002 and during fiscal years 2001, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Historically, average selling prices for semiconductor memory products have declined. The Company is hopeful that average-selling prices may increase over the next several quarters based on the customer demand and availability of certain products the Company sells. The Company's ability to maintain or increase revenues will be highly dependent on its ability to increase unit sales volume of existing products and to successfully develop, introduce and sell new products. Declining average selling prices may also adversely affect the Company's gross margins unless the Company is able to significantly reduce its cost per unit in an amount to offset the declines in average selling prices. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase unit sales volumes of existing products, develop, introduce and sell new products or significantly reduce its cost per unit. There also can be no assurance that even if the Company were to increase unit sales volumes and sufficiently reduce its costs per unit, the Company would be able to maintain or increase revenues or gross margins. The Company usually ships more products in the third month of each quarter than in either of the first two months of the quarter, with shipments in the third month higher at the end of the month. This pattern, which is common in the semiconductor industry, is likely to continue. The concentration of sales in the last month of the quarter may cause the Company's quarterly results of operations to be more difficult to predict. Moreover, a disruption in the Company's production or shipping near the end of a quarter could materially reduce the Company's net sales for that quarter. The Company's reliance on outside foundries and independent assembly and testing houses reduces the Company's ability to control, among other things, delivery schedules. The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry periodically results in shortages of advanced process wafer fabrication capacity such as the Company has experienced from time to time. The Company's ability to maintain adequate levels of inventory is primarily dependent upon the Company obtaining sufficient supply of products to meet future demand, and any inability of the Company to maintain adequate inventory levels may adversely affect its relations with its customers. In addition, the Company must order products and build inventory substantially in advance of products shipments, and there is a risk that because demand for the Company's products is volatile and subject to rapid technology and price change, the Company will forecast incorrectly and produce excess or insufficient inventories of particular products. This inventory risk is heightened because certain of the Company's key customers place orders with short lead times. The Company's customers' ability to reschedule or cancel orders without significant penalty could adversely affect the Company's liquidity, as the Company may be unable -21- to adjust its purchases from its independent foundries to match such customer changes and cancellations. The Company has in the past produced excess quantities of certain products, which has had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company in the future will not produce excess quantities of any of its products. To the extent the Company produces excess or insufficient inventories of particular products, the Company's results of operations could be adversely affected, as was the case in the first three quarters of fiscal 2002 and in fiscal 2001, 1999, 1998 and 1997, when the Company recorded pre-tax charges totaling approximately $16.0 million, $54.0 million, $20.0 million, $15.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, primarily to reflect a decline in market value of certain inventory. The Company currently relies on independent foundries to manufacture all of the Company's products. Reliance on these foundries involves several risks, including constraints or delays in timely delivery of the Company's products, reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and costs and loss of production due to seismic activity, weather conditions and other factors. In or about October 1997, a fire caused extensive damage to United Integrated Circuits Corporation ("UICC"), a foundry joint venture between UMC and various companies. UICC is located next to UMC in the Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park, where Company has products manufactured. UICC suffered an additional fire in January 1998, and since October 1996, there have been at least two other fires at semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park. There can be no assurance that fires or other disasters will not have a material adverse affect on UMC in the future. In addition, as a result of the rapid growth of the semiconductor industry based in the Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park, severe constraints have been placed on the water and electricity supply in that region. Any shortages of water or electricity could adversely affect the Company's foundries' ability to supply the Company's products, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Although the Company continuously evaluates sources of supply and may seek to add additional foundry capacity, there can be no assurance that such additional capacity can be obtained at acceptable prices, if at all. The occurrence of any supply or other problem resulting from these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, as was the case during the third quarter of fiscal 1996, during which period manufacturing yields of one of the Company's products were materially adversely affected by manufacturing problems at one of the Company's foundry suppliers. There can be no assurance that other problems affecting manufacturing yields of the Company's products will not occur in the future. There is an ongoing risk that the suppliers of wafer fabrication, wafer sort, assembly and test services to the Company may increase the price charged to the Company for the services they provide, to the point that the Company may not be able to profitably have its products produced at such suppliers. The occurrence of such price increases could have a material adverse affect on the Company's results of operations. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business internationally and is subject to a number of risks resulting from such operations. Such risks include political and economic instability and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, foreign currency fluctuations, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, delays resulting from difficulty in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws. Current or potential customers of the Company in Asia, for instance, may become unwilling or unable to purchase the Company's products, and the Company's Asian competitors may be able to become more price-competitive relative to the Company due to declining values of their national currencies. There can be no assurance that such factors will not adversely impact the Company's results of operations in the future or require the Company to modify its current business practices. Additionally, other factors may materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations. The Company relies on domestic and offshore subcontractors for die assembly and testing of products, and is subject to risks of disruption in adequate supply of such services and quality problems with such services. The Company is subject to the risks of shortages of goods or services and increases in the cost of raw materials used in the manufacture or assembly of the Company's products. The Company faces intense competition, and many of its principal competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources, broader product lines and longer-standing relationships with customers than does the Company, any of which factors may place such competitors and potential competitors in a stronger competitive position than the Company. The Company's corporate headquarters are located near major earthquake faults, and the Company is subject to the risk of damage or disruption in the event of seismic activity. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing factors will not materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations. -22- Current pending litigation, administrative proceedings and claims are set forth in Item 1- Legal Proceedings. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation and claims and, subject to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and based upon discovery completed to date, management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. However, should the outcome of any of these actions be unfavorable, the Company may be required to pay damages and other expenses, or may be enjoined from manufacturing or selling any products deemed to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Moreover, the semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. The Company has from time to time received, and believes that it likely will in the future receive, notices alleging that the Company's products, or the processes used to manufacture the Company's products, infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, and the Company is subject to the risk that it may become party to litigation involving such claims (the Company currently is involved in patent litigation). In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third-party claims (such as the current patent litigation), or claims against the Company for indemnification related to such third-party claims, such litigation, whether or not determined in favor of the Company, could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the efforts of the Company's technical and management personnel from other matters. In the event of an adverse ruling in such litigation, the Company might be required to cease the manufacture, use and sale of infringing products, discontinue the use of certain processes, expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses to the infringing technology. In addition, depending upon the number of infringing products and the extent of sales of such products, the Company could suffer significant monetary damages. In the event of a successful claim against the Company and the Company's failure to develop or license a substitute technology, the Company's results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The Company also, as a result of an antidumping proceeding commenced in February 1997, must pay a cash deposit equal to 50.15% of the entered value of any SRAMs manufactured (wafer fabrication) in Taiwan, in order to import such goods into the U.S. Although the Company may be refunded such deposits in the future (see Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, below), the deposit requirement, and the potential that all entries of Taiwan-fabricated SRAMs from October 1, 1997 through March 31, 1999 will be liquidated at the bond rate or deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, may materially adversely affect the Company's ability to sell in the United States SRAMs manufactured (wafer fabrication) in Taiwan. The Company manufactures (wafer fabrication) SRAMs in Singapore (and has manufactured SRAMs in the United States as well), and may be able to support its U.S. customers with such products, which are not subject to antidumping duties. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to do so. The Company, through Alliance Venture Management, invests in startup, pre-IPO (initial public offering) companies. These types of investments are inherently risky and many venture funds have a large percentage of investments decrease in value or fail. Most of these startup companies fail, and the investors lose their entire investment. Successful investing relies on the skill of the investment managers, but also on market and other factors outside the control of the managers. While the Company has been successful in some of its recent investments, there can be no assurance as to any future or continued success. It is likely there will be a downturn in the success of these types of investments in the future and the Company will suffer significant diminished success in these investments. There can be no assurance, and in fact it is likely, that many or most, and maybe all of the Company's venture type investments may fail, resulting in the complete loss of some or all the money the Company invested. As a result of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's results of operations, past performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. In addition, stock prices for many technology companies are subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis. If revenues or earnings fail to meet expectations of the investment community, there could be an immediate and significant impact on the market price of the Company's common stock. Due to the foregoing factors, it is likely that in some future quarter or quarters, the Company's results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. -23- Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of approximately $306,000 from March 31, 2001 and approximately $246.2 million in working capital, a decrease of approximately $43.5 million from $289.7 million at March 31, 2001. Additionally, the Company had short-term investments in marketable securities whose fair value at December 31, 2001 was approximately $320.3 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2001, operating activities used cash of $66.9 million compared to $52.1 million used in the nine months of fiscal 2001. Cash utilized in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was primarily the result of net loss, the impact of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, a decrease in accounts payable, a decrease in deferred taxes offset by a cumulative effect of accounting change, write-down of investments, and decreases in inventory and accounts receivable. Net cash provided by investing activities was $32.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001, as the result of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $63.4 million, offset in part, by $19.3 million in investments made by Alliance Ventures Funds, an investment made in Tower Semiconductor of $11.0 million, and purchases of equipment of $913,000. Investing activities provided cash in the amount of $23.8 million during the first nine months ended December 31, 2000 as the result of the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $81.1 million, offset in part, by $53.4 million in investments made by Alliance Ventures and in Solar , and purchases of equipment of $2.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $35.0 million. The increase in cash from financing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2001 was primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings of $43.5 million and in part by proceeds from the sale of common stock through stock option exercises, of approximately $1.1 million offset by the repurchase of the Company's stock of approximately $7.7 million and capital lease payments of $687,000. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Citibank, N.A. for up to $60.0 million. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the loan matured on November 19, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the Company had paid off its loan with Citibank. In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Ltd, to borrow up to $46.0 million. The loan is secured by UMC stock with the aggregate value at least 250% of the outstanding loan balance. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and matures on December 7, 2002. The loan requires compliance with certain restrictive covenants with which the Company was in compliance at December 31, 2001. The outstanding balance on the Chinatrust loan approximated $30.2 million at December 31, 2001. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months ended December 31, 2000 was the result of $16.0 million short-term borrowing, net proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $1.5 million, offset by the repurchase of 565,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a cost of $10.3 million The Company believes these sources of liquidity, and financing opportunities available to it will be sufficient to meet its projected working capital and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, it is possible that the Company may need to raise additional funds to fund its activities beyond the next year or to consummate acquisitions of other businesses, products, wafer capacity or technologies. The Company could raise such funds by selling some of its short-term investments, selling more stock to the public or to selected investors, or by borrowing money. The Company may not be able to obtain additional funds on terms that would be favorable to its stockholders and the Company, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced. In order to obtain an adequate supply of wafers, especially wafers manufactured using advanced process technologies, the Company has entered into and will continue to consider various possible transactions, including equity investments in or loans to foundries in exchange for guaranteed production capacity, the formation of joint ventures to own and operate foundries, as was the case with Chartered , UMC and Tower, or the usage of "take or pay" contracts that commit the Company to purchase specified quantities of wafers over extended periods. Manufacturing arrangements such as these may require substantial capital investments, which may require the -24- Company to seek additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing, if required, will be available when needed or, if available, will be on satisfactory terms. Additionally, the Company has entered into and will continue to enter into various transactions, including the licensing of its integrated circuit designs in exchange for royalties, fees or guarantees of manufacturing capacity. -25- ================================================================================ Part II - Other Information ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings In July 1998, the Company learned that a default judgment was entered against the Company in Canada, in the amount of approximately $170.0 million, in a case filed in 1985 captioned Prabhakara Chowdary Balla and TritTek Research Ltd. v. Fitch Research Corporation, et al., British Columbia Supreme Court No. 85-2805 (Victoria Registry). The Company, which had previously not participated in the case, believes that it never was properly served with process in this action, and that the Canadian court lacks jurisdiction over the Company in this matter. In addition to jurisdictional and procedural arguments, the Company also believes it may have grounds to argue that the claims against the Company should be deemed discharged by the Company's bankruptcy in 1991. In February 1999, the court set aside the default judgment against the Company. In April 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave by the Court to appeal this judgment. Oral arguments were made before the Court of Appeals in June 2000. In July 2000, the Court of Appeals instructed the lower Court to allow the parties to take depositions regarding the issue of service of process, while also setting aside the default judgment against the Company. The plaintiffs appealed the setting aside of the default judgment against the Company to the Canadian Supreme Court. In June 2001, the Canadian Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of the setting aside of the default judgment against the Company. The Company believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and its results of operations. In November 2001 Amstrad plc ("Amstrad") filed suit against the Company in England in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. This claim is based on allegations that a batch of 15,000 parts supplied by the Company, and which were incorporated into Amstrad products, were defective. The Company has investigated whether there are sufficient grounds to dispute the jurisdiction of the English Court to hear this case. In November 2001, the Company had filed suit in the California Superior Court for $45,000 owed for the parts sold to Amstrad that were not paid for. In January 2002, the California Superior Court granted Amstrad's motion to quash the Company's California action for lack of jurisdiction. As a consequence, there are no grounds to dispute the jurisdiction of the English Court to hear Amstrad's suit. The Company has prepared a detailed defense to Amstrad's suit, which will be filed in February 2002. The Company believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions and its results of operations. ITEM 5 Other Information In February 1997, Micron Technology, Inc. filed an antidumping petition with the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC") and United States Department of Commerce ("DOC"), alleging that SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan were being sold in the United States at less than fair value, and that the United States industry producing SRAMs was materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan. After a final affirmative DOC determination of dumping and a final affirmative ITC determination of injury, DOC issued an antidumping duty order in April 1998. Under that order, the Company's imports into the United States on or after approximately April 16, 1998 of SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan are subject to a cash deposit in the amount of 50.15% (the "Antidumping Margin") of the entered value of such SRAMs. (The Company posted a bond in the amount of 59.06% (the preliminary margin) with respect to its importation, between approximately October 1997 and April 1998, of SRAMs fabricated in Taiwan.) In May 1998, the Company and others filed an appeal in the United States Court of International Trade (the "CIT"), challenging the determination by the ITC that imports of Taiwan-fabricated SRAMs were causing material injury to the U.S. industry. Following two remands from the CIT, the ITC, on June 12, 2000, reversed its original determination that Taiwan-fabricated SRAMs were causing material injury to the U.S. industry. The CIT affirmed the ITC's negative determination on August 29, 2000, and Micron appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC"). On September 21, 2001, the CAFC affirmed the ITC's negative injury determination. The Company had made cash deposits in the amount of $1.7 million and had posted a bond secured by a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $1.7 million relating to the Company's importation of Taiwan-manufactured SRAMs. The balances remained unchanged at December 31, 2001. In January 2002, the decision of the CIT was made final and the DOC revoked the order and instructed the U.S. Customs Service to refund the Company's cash deposits with interest. -26- The Investment Company Act of 1940 Following a special study after the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Depression, Congress enacted the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). The Act was primarily meant to regulate mutual funds, such as the families of funds offered by the Fidelity and Vanguard organizations (to pick two of many), and the smaller number of closed-end investment companies that are traded on the public stock markets. In those cases the funds in question describe themselves as being in the business of investing, reinvesting and trading in securities and generally own relatively diversified portfolios of publicly traded securities that are issued by companies that the investment companies do not control. The fundamental intent of the Act is to protect the interests of public investors from fraud and manipulation by the people who establish and operate such investment companies, which constitute large pools of liquid assets that could be used improperly, or not be properly safeguarded, by the persons in control of them. When the Act was written, its drafters (and Congress) also felt that a company could, either deliberately or inadvertently, come to have the defining characteristics of an investment company without proclaiming that fact or being willing to voluntarily submit itself to regulation as an acknowledged investment company, and that investors in such a company could be just as much in need of protection as are investors in companies that are openly and deliberately established as investment companies. In order to deal with this perceived potential abuse, the Act and rules under it contain provisions and set forth principles that are designed to differentiate "true" operating companies from companies that may be considered to have sufficient investment-company-like characteristics to require regulation by the Act's complex procedural and substantive requirements. These provisions apply to companies that own or hold securities, as well as companies that invest, reinvest and trade in securities, and particularly focus on determining the primary nature of a company's activities, including whether an investing company controls and does business through the entities in which it invests or, instead, holds its securities investments passively and not as part of an operating business. For instance, under what is, for most purposes, the most liberal of the relevant tests, a company may become subject to the Act's registration requirements if it either holds more than 45% of its assets in, or derives more than 45% of its income from, investments in companies that the investor does not primarily control or through which it does not actively do business. In making these determinations the Act generally requires that a company's assets be valued on a current fair market value basis, determined on the basis of securities' public trading price or, in the case of illiquid securities and other assets, in good faith by the company's board of directors. The Company viewed its investments in Chartered, USC and USIC, and its new investment in Tower, as operating investments primarily intended to secure adequate wafer manufacturing capacity; as previously noted, the Company's access to the manufacturing resources that it obtained in conjunction with those investments will decrease if the Company ceases to own at least 50% of its original investments in the enterprises, as modified, in the cases of USC and USIC, by their merger into UMC. In addition, the Company believes that, before USC's merger into UMC, the Company's investment in USC constituted a joint venture interest that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") would not regard as a security for purposes of determining the proportion of the Company's assets that might be viewed as having been held in passive investment securities. However, because of the success during the last two years of the Company's investments, including its strategic wafer manufacturing investments, at least from the time of the completion of the merger of USC and USIC into UMC in January 2000 the Company believes that it could be viewed as holding a much larger portion of its assets in investment securities than is presumptively permitted by the Act for a company that is not registered under it. On the other hand, the Company also believes that the investments that it currently holds in Chartered and UMC, even though in companies that the Company does not control, should be regarded as strategic deployments of Company assets for the purpose of furthering the Company's memory chip business, rather than as the kind of financial investments that generally are considered to constitute investment securities. Applying certain other tests that the SEC utilizes in determining investment company status, the Company has never held itself out as an investment company; its historical development has focused almost exclusively on the memory chip business; the activities of its officers and employees have been overwhelmingly addressed to achieving success in the memory chip business; and until the past two years, its income (and losses) have derived almost exclusively from the memory chip business. Accordingly, the Company believes that it should be regarded as being primarily engaged in a business other than investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities, and has applied to the SEC for an order under section 3(b)(2) of the Act confirming its non-investment-company status. However, if the Company's investments in Chartered, UMC, and Tower are now viewed as investment securities, it must be conceded that an unusually large proportion of the Company's assets could be viewed as invested in assets that -27- would, under most circumstances, give rise to investment company status. Therefore, while the Company believes that it has meritorious arguments as to why it should not be considered an investment company and should not be subject to regulation under the Act, there can be no assurance that the SEC will agree. And even if the SEC grants some kind of exemption from investment company status to the Company, it may place significant restrictions on the amount and type of investments the Company is allowed to hold, which might force the Company to divest itself of many of its current investments. Significant potential penalties may be imposed upon a company that should be registered under the Act but is not, and the Company is proceeding expeditiously to resolve its status. If the Company does not receive an exemption from the SEC, the Company would be required to register under the Act as a closed-end management investment company. In the absence of exemptions granted by the SEC (if it determines to do so in its discretion after an assessment of the public interest), the Act imposes a number of significant requirements and restrictions upon registered investment companies that do not normally apply to operating companies. These would include, but not be limited to, a requirement that at least 40% of the Company's board of directors not be "interested persons" of the Company as defined in the Act and that those directors be granted certain special rights with respect to the approval of certain kinds of transactions (particularly those that pose a possibility of giving rise to conflicts of interest); prohibitions on the grant of stock options that would be outstanding for more than 120 days and upon the use of stock for compensation (which could be highly detrimental to the Company in view of the competitive circumstances in which it seeks to attract and retain qualified employees); and broad prohibitions on affiliate transactions, such as the compensation arrangements applicable to the management of Alliance Venture Management, many kinds of incentive compensation arrangements for management employees and joint investment by persons who control the Company in entities in which the Company is also investing (which could require the Company to abandon or significantly restructure its management arrangements, particularly with respect to its investment activities). While the Company could apply for individual exemptions from these restrictions, there could be no guarantee that such exemptions would be granted, or granted on terms that the Company would deem practical. Additionally, the Company would be required to report its financial results in a different form from that currently used by the Company, which would have the effect of turning the Company's Statement of Operations "upside down" by requiring that the Company report its investment income and the results of its investment activities, instead of its operations, as its primary sources of revenue. While the Company is working diligently to deal with these investment company issues, there can be no assurance that a manageable solution will be found. The SEC may be hesitant to grant an exemption from investment company status in the Company's situation, and it may not be feasible for the Company to operate in its present manner as a registered investment company. As a result, the Company might be required to divest itself of assets that it considers strategically necessary for the conduct of its operations, to reorganize as two or more separate companies, or both. Such divestitures or reorganizations could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business and results of operations. ITEM 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K. (a) Exhibits:

Section 2.02. Notice and Manner of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Bank written or telegraphic notice (effective upon receipt) of a request for the Loans under this Agreement, at least two (2) Business Days before each, specifying: (1) the date of such Loan; (2) the amount of such Loan; and (3) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(New York City time) on the day which is not less than two (2) Business Days notice as specified above. Section 2.03. Interest. (1) The Borrower shall pay interest to the Bank on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loans made under this Agreement at a rate equal to the LIBOR Interest Rate plus two and one half percent (2.5%) per annum (the "Standard Interest Rate"). Interest on the Loans shall be paid in immediately available funds at the New York Office on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Any principal amount not paid when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full (before as well as after judgment), payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus two percent (2.0%). (2) The Borrower may elect a one (1), two (2) or three (3) month duration for the Interest Period by notice thereof to the Bank; provided, however, that (i) such notice shall be delivered to the Bank at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period, and (ii) if the Borrower shall fail to deliver such notice to the Bank in a timely manner as set forth herein, then such Interest Period shall be for a period of one (1) month unless such period would otherwise end after the Termination Date, in which event such Interest Period shall end on the Termination Date. (3) Interest on the principal amount of the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable. (4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Bank shall reserve and not disburse from the First Loan Amount a sum equal to the interest that will accrue on the principal amount of the Commitment, at the Standard Interest Rate, for the first one (1) year term of the Loans (the "Interest Reserve"). If the LIBOR Interest Rate increases prior to the Termination Date and the Interest Reserve is insufficient to make the future interest payments, the Borrower shall, upon request of the Bank, deposit additional funds with the Bank towards the Interest Reserve. The Bank shall debit the Interest Reserve on the last day of each Interest Period for the amount of the interest owed to it for such Interest Period. The Interest Reserve shall bear interest of one and one half percent (1.5%) per annum, which interest will be paid monthly to the Borrower. (5) Anything in this Agreement or in the Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be made to the Bank to the extent that the Bank's receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to the Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Bank. Any such payment which if received would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing. And any such payments of interest which are not made as a result of the limitation referred to above shall be made by the Borrower to the Bank on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to the Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Bank. Such deferred interest shall not bear interest. Section 2.04. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank a facility fee on the closing of this facility of one and one half percent (1.5%) of the Commitment, that is, Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00). Section 2.05. The Note. (1) All Loans made by the Bank under this Agreement shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with, a single promissory note of the Borrower (the "Note") in substantially the form of Exhibit A, duly completed, dated the date of this Agreement, and payable to the Bank for the account of the applicable Lending Office, such Note to represent the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans. The Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on the schedule attached to the Note or to keep separate records of all Loans made to the Borrower and all payments of principal amounts in respect of such Loans, which endorsements or records shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding balance of the Loans made by the Bank; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation or record with respect to any Loan or renewal, or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Note.

("Bank"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank (acting by and through its New York branch) have entered into a Credit Agreement dated November 15, 2001 pursuant to which the Borrower has agreed to extend a loan in the aggregate principal amount of Thirty Million United States Dollars (US$30,000,000) (the "Credit Agreement") to the Borrower on the condition, among other things, that the Borrower shall provide to the Bank and create a pledge of unrestricted common shares of United Microelectronics Corp. ("UMC") owned by the Borrower (the "Collateral") as hereinafter specified. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings (terms defined in the singular to have the same meaning when used in the plural and vice versa): "Collateral Value" means total value of the Collateral calculated based on the daily closing price per share of Collateral as quoted on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, converted into United States Dollars at the Spot Rate. "Secured Obligations" means any and all liabilities and obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the principal, interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses payable under the Credit Agreement. "Spot Rate" means the amount of New Taiwan Dollars that may be purchased with one United States Dollar, as reported in The Asian Wall Street Journal for the date of such determination. "Taiwan Business Day" means any day that is a trading day of the Taiwan Stock Exchange. "TSCDC" means Taiwan Securities Central Depositary Corporation. "UMC" means United Microelectronics Corp., a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Republic of China and having its principal place of business at 300 No.3, Li-hsin RD.

(a) To secure the due payment to the Bank of all amounts which may now or hereafter from time to time be owing by Borrower to Bank, the Secured Obligations and to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower under the Agreement or otherwise, for valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and transfers to Bank, and grants to Bank a continuing security interest in and to, all of the Collateral, together with any other property delivered to Bank hereunder and all additions thereto and substitutions therefor and all cash proceeds thereof. (b) The Borrower will, on the date hereof, create and register a pledge over the Collateral through the book-entry system of TSCDC in favor of the Bank in accordance with the book-entry rules of TSCDC. It is hereby agreed by the parties hereto that the book entry regarding the pledge as contemplated hereby made by TSCDC as aforesaid shall replace the endorsement and delivery of physical share certificates evidencing the Collateral. (c) From time to time, the Borrower shall do such things and execute such documents, at its cost and expense, as the Bank may request to effectuate and maintain a valid first priority pledge and security interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, notifying and registering the same with UMC. (d) Pursuant to this Agreement the Borrower is hereby pledging the Collateral which is required to have a Collateral Value of at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the time each loan is made to Borrower by the Bank pursuant to the Credit Agreement. In the event the Bank determines and notifies the Borrower that the Collateral Value at any time has fallen to two hundred percent (200%) or less of the then total outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the loans extended under the Credit Agreement (the "Outstanding Amount"), as calculated and determined by the Bank, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Taiwan Business Days following the date on which the Bank so notifies the Borrower, provide additional shares of UMC owned by the Borrower to make up the shortage so that the Collateral Value shall again be at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount. If additional shares of UMC are pledged, the Borrower shall create and register the pledge over the additional shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by delivery of such shares to TSCDC and the creation and pledge of the additional shares through the book-entry system of TSCDC, or other mutually agreeable method of pledging. (e) As an alternative to pledging additional shares of UMC, the Borrower may partially prepay the Outstanding Amount, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, so as to reduce said amount to a level at which the Collateral Value is again at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount. (f) In the event the Collateral Value falls to or below one hundred eighty percent (180%) of the Outstanding Amount (including the three (3) day period provided for in Section 2(d) of this Agreement), as calculated and determined by the Bank, the Bank may without notice to the Borrower dispose of the Collateral to the extent necessary to restore the Collateral Value to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount. (g) In the event the Borrower fails to provide additional shares of UMC to restore the Collateral Value to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount or partially prepay the Outstanding Amount so that the Collateral Value is again at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount, the Bank shall have the rights set forth in Section 2(f) of this Agreement. (h) In the event that the Bank sells the collateral (whether pursuant to its rights under this Agreement or at the election of the Borrower to prepay or repay the loans) the Bank shall not be deemed to have received the net funds (that is, after payment of any transaction costs, taxes and other fees) until it receives the funds at its New York Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in United States dollars. The Bank shall not be responsible for any change in the Spot Rate nor the time required to have the remittance from the Republic of China to the United States approved by the Central Bank of China, however, the Bank will use reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the approval of the Central Bank of China. 3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows: (a) The Borrower legally and beneficially owns the Collateral free and clear of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind, other than the pledge created under this Agreement.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank have previously entered into the Pledge Agreement dated as of November 15, 2001 pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2001; and WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank (acting by and through its New York branch) have now entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 21, 2002 pursuant to which the Borrower has agreed to extend Loans in the aggregate principal amount of Forty Six Million United States Dollars (US$46,000,000) (the "Credit Agreement") to the Borrower on the condition, among other things, that the Borrower shall provide to the Bank and create a pledge of additional unrestricted common shares of United Microelectronics Corp. ("UMC") owned by the Borrower (the "Additional Collateral", the Additional Collateral plus the Collateral under the Credit Agreement between the parties dated as of November 15, 2001, which shall be referred to as the Original Collateral and shall with the Additional Collateral be collectively referred to as the "Collateral") as hereinafter specified. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings (terms defined in the singular to have the same meaning when used in the plural and vice versa): "Collateral Value" means total value of the Collateral calculated based on the daily closing price per share of Collateral as quoted on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, converted into United States Dollars at the Spot Rate. "Secured Obligations" means any and all liabilities and obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the principal, interest, commissions, charges, fees and expenses payable under the Credit Agreement. "Spot Rate" means the amount of New Taiwan Dollars that may be purchased with one United States Dollar, as reported in The Asian Wall Street Journal for the date of such determination. "Taiwan Business Day" means any day that is a trading day of the Taiwan Stock Exchange. "TSCDC" means Taiwan Securities Central Depositary Corporation. "UMC" means United Microelectronics Corp., a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Republic of China and having its principal place of business at 300 No.3, Li-hsin RD. II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O C. 2. Pledge. (a) To secure the due payment to the Bank of all amounts which may now or hereafter from time to time be owing by Borrower to Bank, the Secured Obligations and to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower under the Agreement or otherwise, for valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and transfers to Bank, and grants to Bank a continuing security interest in and to, all of the Additional Collateral and Original Collateral, together with any other property delivered to Bank hereunder and all additions thereto and substitutions therefor and all cash proceeds thereof. (b) The Borrower has previously created and registered a pledge over the Original Collateral and will, on the date hereof, create and register a pledge over the Additional Collateral through the book-entry system of TSCDC in favor of the Bank in accordance with the book-entry rules of TSCDC. It is hereby agreed by the parties hereto that the book entry regarding the pledge as contemplated hereby made by TSCDC as aforesaid shall replace the endorsement and delivery of physical share certificates evidencing the Additional Collateral. (c) From time to time, the Borrower shall do such things and execute such documents, at its cost and expense, as the Bank may request to effectuate and maintain a valid first priority pledge and security interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, notifying and registering the same with UMC. (d) Pursuant to this Agreement the Borrower is hereby pledging the Additional Collateral so that the Collateral shall as required have a Collateral Value of at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the time each loan is made to Borrower by the Bank pursuant to the Credit Agreement. In the event the Bank determines and notifies the Borrower that the Collateral Value at any time has fallen to two hundred percent (200%) or less of the then total outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the loans extended under the Credit Agreement (the "Outstanding Amount"), as calculated and determined by the Bank, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Taiwan Business Days following the date on which the Bank so notifies the Borrower, provide additional shares of UMC owned by the Borrower to make up the shortage so that the Collateral Value shall again be at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount. If additional shares of UMC are pledged, the Borrower shall create and register the pledge over the additional shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by delivery of such shares to TSCDC and the creation and pledge of the additional shares through the book-entry system of TSCDC, or other mutually agreeable method of pledging. (e) As an alternative to pledging additional shares of UMC, the Borrower may partially prepay the Outstanding Amount, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, so as to reduce said amount to a level at which the Collateral Value is again at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount. (f) In the event the Collateral Value falls to or below one hundred eighty percent (180%) of the Outstanding Amount (including the three (3) day period provided for in Section 2(d) of this Agreement), as calculated and determined by the Bank, the Bank may without notice to the Borrower dispose of the Collateral to the extent necessary to restore the Collateral Value to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount. (g) In the event the Borrower fails to provide additional shares of UMC to restore the Collateral Value to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount or partially prepay the Outstanding Amount so that the Collateral Value is again at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Outstanding Amount, the Bank shall have the rights set forth in Section 2(f) of this Agreement. (h) In the event that the Bank sells the Collateral (whether pursuant to its rights under this Agreement or at the election of the Borrower to prepay or repay the loans) the Bank shall not be deemed to have received the net funds (that is, after payment of any transaction costs, taxes and other fees) until it receives the funds at its New York Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in United States dollars. The Bank shall not be responsible for any change in the Spot Rate nor the time required to have the remittance from the Republic of China to the United States approved by the Central Bank of China, however, the Bank will use reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the approval of the Central Bank of China. 3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows: (a) The Borrower legally and beneficially owns the Collateral free and clear of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind, other than the pledge created under this Agreement. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral hereunder by the Borrower will not, to its knowledge, contravene or violate any law, regulation, organizational documents of the Borrower or any agreement to which it is a party or to which its property may be subject. (c) The pledge created hereunder constitutes a valid and perfected first priority security interest over the Collateral, legally binding and enforceable against the Borrower.

Seller shall use its best efforts to preserve and maintain its goodwill, including relationships with employees, suppliers and customers. Seller shall maintain quantities of inventories in a manner consistent with prior practice and in a normal businesslike fashion.

Seller shall in good faith proceed to take or cause to be taken all actions within its power necessary to satisfy all conditions to its obligations to close and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 8. Covenants of Buyer. Buyer covenants to Seller as follows: 8.1 Satisfaction of Conditions. Buyer shall in good faith proceed to take or cause to be taken all actions within its power necessary to satisfy all conditions to its obligations to close and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 8.2 Accounts Receivable. Buyer shall take all commercially reasonable steps, consistent with good business practice, to collect accounts receivable of Seller purchased by Buyer, and shall not offer discounts or reductions in the same without Seller's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 9. Employment Matters. 9.1 Employees. Concurrently with the making by Buyer of an offer to employees of Seller for employment with Buyer, Seller shall terminate the employment of all of its employees, which termination shall be effective no later than 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Buyer shall make an offer of employment to all of Seller's employees, at the salary levels and on other terms and conditions to be determined in Buyer's sole discretion. Buyer shall have no liability for accrued wages (including salaries and commissions), severance pay, sick leave or other benefits, or Employee Plans of any type or nature on account of Seller's employment of or termination of such employees, and Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless against liability arising out of any claims for such pay or benefits or any other claims arising from Seller's employment of or termination of employment of such employees, as more fully set forth in the indemnification provisions in Section 10. 9.2 Employee Plans. Buyer is not assuming any of the Employee Plans of the Corporation (as each such term is hereafter defined), and Buyer shall have no liability whatsoever to employees of the Corporation (or to the Corporation) with respect to accrued or future benefits under any such Employee Plans, whether or not any of such employees are offered employment by or become employees of Buyer, and Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against any claims that it has liability under such Employee Plans as more fully set forth in Section 10 below. The term "Corporation" means Seller, any controlled group (within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC")) of which Seller is a member, all trades or businesses under common control (within the meaning of IRC Section 414(c)) of which Seller is a member and all affiliated service groups (within the meaning of IRC Section 414(m)) of which Seller is a member. The term "Employee Plan" includes all present and prior (including terminated and transferred) plans, programs, agreements, arrangements and methods of contributions or compensation (including all amendments to and components of the same, such as a trust with respect to a plan) providing any remuneration or benefits, other than current cash compensation, to any current or former employee of Seller or to any other person who provides services to Seller's business, whether or not such plan or plans, programs, agreements, arrangements and methods of contribution or compensation are subject to ERISA, and whether or not such plan or plans, programs, agreements, arrangements and methods of contribution or compensation are qualified under the IRC. The term Employee Plan includes, but is not limited to, pension, retirement, profit sharing, percentage compensation, stock purchase, stock option, bonus and non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The term Employee Plan also includes, but is not limited to, disability, medical, dental, workers compensation, health insurance, life insurance or other death benefits, incentive, severance plans, vacation benefits and fringe benefits. The term Employee Plan also includes any employee plan that is a multi-employer plan as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. 10. Indemnity and Set-Off. 10.1 Seller's Indemnity. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, causes of action, suits, settlements and judgments of every nature, including the costs and expenses associated therewith and reasonable attorneys' and witness fees incurred ("Damages") which arise out of: (i) the breach by Seller of any representation or warranty made by it pursuant to this Agreement, or any third-party allegation thereof; (ii) the non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant made by it pursuant to this Agreement, or any third-party allegation thereof; (iii) products manufactured, serviced and/or sold by Seller prior to the Closing; (iv) claims of any type or nature relating to the employment of Seller's employees by Seller or any termination of such employment; and (v) any other liability or obligation of Seller that is not specifically included in the Assumed Liabilities. 10.2 Notice. If at any time before the Additional Payment Date, Buyer suffers Damages, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof ("Notice of Claim") before the earlier of (i) the Additional Payment Date and (ii) 90 days after discovering or incurring such Damage. The Notice of Claim shall state in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the specific provisions in this Agreement alleged to have been breached, and the amount of the claim for indemnification. Such amount shall represent the Buyer's good faith estimate of the Damages. The Seller shall have 30 days from receipt of the Notice of Claim to accept or reject, in writing, the claim for indemnification. The Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to indemnification for any Damages for which notice is not given in a timely manner as set forth herein. Any claim for Damages accepted by the Seller or any claim determined as valid under the claim procedure set forth below, shall be deemed "Established Damages" for the purposes of this Agreement. 10.3 Claims of Buyer and Seller. If a Notice of Claim is given pursuant to Section 10.2 above, and no rejection is received within the 30 day period specified above, then the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted such claim. If the Seller rejects a claim within such 30 day period, the parties shall, in good faith, attempt to negotiate a resolution of such claim within 60 days thereafter (the "Resolution Period"). If the parties do not reach resolution during the Resolution Period, then the Buyer may, within 30 days after the end of the Resolution Period proceed to submit the controversy to arbitration under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to indemnification for any Damages if the Buyer does not submit such controversy to arbitration within such period. The determination of the arbitrator(s) shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties. The expenses in connection with any arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties unless determined otherwise by the arbitrator(s). If as a result of such arbitration it is determined that the Seller is obligated for such Damages, the amount set by such arbitration shall be the amount of the Established Damages and the Seller shall owe such amount. If as a result of such arbitration it is determined that the Seller has no obligation to indemnify, the Seller shall have no further liability on the claim. 10.4 Claims of Third Parties. If, on or before the Additional Payment Date, a claim for indemnification arises out of a claim by a third party, including without limitation any governmental agency, body or authority (a "Third Party Claim") then, in the Notice of Claim, the Buyer shall state in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and specific provisions of the Agreement which have been breached (if applicable). Such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 10.2 above and shall specify whether the Buyer intends to defend the claim. If the claim has resulted in the commencement of litigation, the Buyer shall take all necessary legal steps to preserve the legal rights of the Seller until such time as the Seller is able to assume or participate in the defense of the litigation. If the Buyer elects to defend the claim, the Seller shall have the right to participate in the defense of the claim. If the Buyer does not elect to defend the claim, the Seller shall have the obligation to defend the claim but only to the extent of the limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 10.6 (with the Buyer having the obligation thereafter) and every attorneys' fee, loss, cost and expense shall be advanced by Buyer and charged against the Additional Payment and the Buyer shall have the right to participate in such defense and hereby agrees to cooperate with the Seller and make available to it or its counsel all records and other material reasonably required to defend the claim. If the Buyer is defending the claim, the Seller shall be given written notice of any bona fide settlement offers received with respect to the claim. Within 5 days of receipt of such offer, the Seller may elect in writing to accept the settlement offer. If the Seller wishes to accept such settlement offer, then the claim shall be subject to a maximum indemnification in the amount of the settlement offer and the right to such indemnification of the Buyer shall be deemed established in such amount. So long as the Seller may continue to have liability for such claim, the Buyer shall not have the right to settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Seller. So long as a Third-Party Claim is pending, the Buyer shall hold in abeyance its claim for indemnification. If a settlement is reached which results in any liability on the part of the Seller, or if a judgment is rendered against the Buyer which is not properly appealed or appealable, then the Buyer shall be entitled to assert its claim for indemnification. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses including legal fees incurred in defending such Third Party Claim, except that the Seller shall pay the reasonable attorneys' fees: (a) for taking legal actions necessary to preserve the legal rights of the Seller in connection with defending the claim of the Buyer; and (b) which are found to be indemnifiable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the extent of Seller's indemnification hereunder (including legal fees and costs associated with any Third-Party Claim) shall not exceed the limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 10.6, as said amount is reduced by any prior Established Damages. 10.5 Set-Off. Buyer shall set off the amount of any claim for indemnity under this Section 10 against the Additional Payment, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6. 10.6 Limitation on Indemnification. Absent fraud, in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller for its fees, costs and indemnification, including but not limited to any Established Damages, and for any other breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by Seller or any officer, director, employee, agent or shareholder of Seller, reduce the Additional Payment by more than 15%. The Buyer shall no longer have a right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Agreement after the Additional Payment Date; provided, however, that Seller's indemnification of Buyer against any of Seller's tax liabilities shall survive for the statutory period of limitations of such taxes. 10.7 Extension of Additional Payment Date. If the Buyer brings a claim for indemnification under this Agreement prior to the Additional Payment Date, but such claim is not finally and fully resolved pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 on or before the Additional Payment Date, the Buyer may withhold payment of the portion of the Additional Payment in controversy, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6, until such controversy has been finally and fully resolved. 11. Termination. 11.1 Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date by the written agreement of Seller and Buyer. 11.2 Termination by Buyer. This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer if on the Closing Date the conditions set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement shall not have been met by Seller or waived by Buyer. 11.3 Termination by Seller. This Agreement may be terminated by Seller if on the Closing Date the conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement shall not have been met by Buyer or waived by Seller. 11.4 Confidentiality and Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, each of the parties shall return (without retaining copies) all documents and papers containing confidential information (including without limitation technical information, customer lists, financial data and any similar information developed by another party pursuant to this Agreement or in contemplation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and shall neither use nor disclose any such information, except to the extent that such information is available to the public or is otherwise rightfully obtained. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11, neither party shall have any obligation to the other whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the transactions provided for herein, or (subject to the terms of that certain Letter of Intent dated October 25, 2001 by and between the parties) the expenses either of them incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such transactions. 12. Miscellaneous. 12.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that the rights and duties of Seller under this Agreement may not be assigned. Buyer may novate, in whole or in part and to one or more third parties, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. 12.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. Schedule 12.2 constitutes the allocation agreed to by Seller and Buyer of the Purchase Price among the various items included in the assets and business being transferred by Seller to Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall file all tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with Schedule 12.2. 12.3 Prorations. All items of income or expense relating to the Assets and business being transferred pursuant to this Agreement which properly apply to periods commencing prior to and ending after the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with the benefit of income and the burden of expenses with respect to the Closing Date to be for the account of Buyer; provided, however, that reasonable business expenses of the Seller prior to the Closing Date, shall be loaned to the Seller and that the amount of such loan shall become an assumed liability of the Seller by the Buyer, and provided, further that proceeds of any sales that accrue prior to the Closing Date shall be added to the Financial Statements as accounts receivable and are purchased herein. Such items of income or expense shall include without limitation, the following, which shall be governed by any special proration principles set forth below: (a) Current real and personal property taxes. In the event that such taxes are not determinable on the Closing Date, such taxes shall be tentatively prorated upon the basis of taxes for the preceding tax year and appropriate adjustments shall be made when such taxes are finally determined. (b) Salaries and Benefits. Salaries, bonuses and any other fringe benefits assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. (c) Insurance. Premiums of any insurance policies transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. (d) Utility charges. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate so as to cause utility companies to read all utility meters on the morning of the Closing Date so as to minimize the need for such proration. 12.4 Confidentiality. Neither party shall issue a press release or otherwise publicize the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise disclose the nature or contents of this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date except as otherwise required by applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange requirement or approved by the other party hereto. No information, documents or reports provided to or obtained by either party in connection with this transaction shall be disclosed to any non-party except as required in carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby. 12.5 Transfer and Corporate Taxes. Any corporate tax, or sales, use, or other transfer taxes arising out of or incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Seller; provided, however, that the Buyer shall pay up to $150,000 of such taxes incurred by Seller. 12.6 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party will pay its own costs and expenses, including legal and accounting expenses, related to the transactions provided for herein, irrespective of when incurred; provided, however, that whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, Buyer shall pay the reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred by Seller, including fees paid to Wit Soundview pursuant to its agreement with Seller, as amended in an agreed amount as set forth in the Financial Statements, and those of Russo & Hale LLP in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount agreed to from time to time by Buyer and Russo & Hale LLP; provided further, however, that if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, Buyer shall pay all reasonable operating expenses incurred by Seller after the Closing, including all expenses incurred in the dissolution of Seller after the Additional Payment Date and fees and expenses of legal counsel to Seller, which such counsel shall be selected by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Redwood Ventures Partners. 12.7 Further Assurances. Seller will from time to time subsequent to the Closing Date, at Buyer's request and without further consideration, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request in order more effectively to convey, assign, transfer to and vest in Buyer, the Assets and the right to operate the business of Seller. 12.8 Notices.
