PART I





Item 1.Business:





Overview





We design, develop and market
integrated circuits that receive and process digital video and graphic images. Our integrated circuits are typically located inside a display device and process incoming images for viewing on that display. We are currently targeting the flat-panel
computer monitor, flat-panel television and progressive scan cathode ray tube, or CRT, television markets and other potential mass markets.





The transition from analog display systems, such as most televisions and computer monitors that use cathode ray tubes, to digital display systems that use a fixed matrix of pixels to represent an
image, requires sophisticated digital image-processing solutions. Our products solve input, resolution, format and frame refresh rate conversion problems while maintaining critical image information and improving perceived image quality. Our
products utilize patented algorithms and integrated circuit architectures as well as advanced integrated circuit design and system design expertise.





We began our business as a Canadian company in 1987, and changed our domicile to become a Delaware corporation in February 2002. Until 1999 we were focused primarily on developing digital image
processing technologies. In May 1999 we acquired a private US corporation, Paradise Electronics, Inc., which, in addition to developing digital image processing technologies, was developing analog and mixed signal communications technologies. We
have now combined analog and mixed signal technologies with digital image processing technologies into more comprehensive semiconductor solutions.





Recently, in February 2002, we acquired a public US corporation, Sage, Inc. In addition to bringing additional image processing and mixed signal technologies to address the flat panel monitor market,
Sage was developing significant expertise in technologies addressing other emerging display applications. In March 2002 we acquired the technology assets of VM Labs, Inc. Those technologies include video decoding and audio technologies. We believe
that these recent acquisitions will improve our product offerings into the flat panel monitor market and improve our ability to diversify our business into other emerging display markets, such as flat-panel television and progressive scan CRT
television markets and other potential mass markets.





We operate through subsidiaries and offices in the United
States, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Our business is conducted globally, with the majority of our suppliers and customers located in

Japan, South Korea or Taiwan. For a geographical breakdown of our revenues and long-lived assets, see note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.





Markets and applications





Our primary targeted markets include the following:





| |  |  | Flat-Panel Computer Monitors.    Flat panel computer monitors using liquid crystal displays, or LCDs, are increasingly replacing
monitors that use CRTs. For the year ended March 31, 2002, the flat panel computer monitor market represented 88.8% of our total revenues. Companies whose flat-panel computer monitors incorporate our products include Benq, Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu,
Hewlett-Packard, IBM, NEC, Philips, Samsung, Sony, ViewSonic and many other leading brands.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Consumer Digital Television.    We are leveraging our technologies and continue to produce products for consumer digital television
markets. These potential markets include home theater, DVD, flat panel and digital television and HDTV. We have secured a number of design wins with leading manufacturers in these markets.

Research and development





Our research and development efforts are performed within the following specialized groups:





| |  |  | Algorithm Development Group: focuses on developing high-quality image processing technologies and their implementation in silicon.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Product Development Group: focuses on developing standard semiconductor components to service our monitor and computer OEM customers and providing them with a
complete turnkey solution, which reduces their time to market. In addition we develop semiconductor components to serve customers who are designing products for new market applications, such as flat-panel television and progressive scan CRT
television markets and other potential mass markets.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | System Engineering Group: produces evaluation boards and manufacture-ready reference designs that facilitate the integration of our products into the end
products manufactured by our customers. In addition to producing reference designs for flat panel monitors, the systems engineering group focuses on the emerging market for flat panel televisions. New reference designs being produced have full
television functionality, and are targeted at a range of television sets from 13-inch LCD TVs to high- end 60-inch plasma display panel, or PDP, displays. For flat panel monitors, new reference designs address the need for continued cost reduction.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Software Engineering Group: develops the software environment required for our products to work within target systems. Software is now embedded in many of our
products. The other major role of software engineering is tool development. We provide sophisticated software tools to help our customers develop their applications and customize their software to improve the productivity of those engineers involved
in the process of getting their products into production.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




As of March 31, 2002, we had 230
full-time employees engaged in research and development. Expenditures for research and development, including non-cash stock-based compensation, were $21.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, $17.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2001
and $16.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2000.





Customers, sales and marketing





We sell and market our products directly to customers, through regional sales representatives and through distributors. Our sales and
marketing personnel work closely with customers, industry leaders, sales representatives and our distributors to define features, performance, price and market timing of new products. In South Korea and Taiwan we sell our products though our local
sales and technical support office. In North America we sell through technically trained sales representatives and distributors. In Europe, we sell our products through distributors. In Japan, we sell our products through both technically trained
sales representatives and through distributors. Regardless of the sales channels used, we provide technical support and design assistance directly to our customers. We focus on developing long-term customer relationships with both system
manufacturers and equipment manufacturers.





We provide direct service and support to our customers through our
offices in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan. Our sales representatives and our distributors also provide ongoing support and service on our behalf. We provide customer support through both on-site customer service and though
remote support from our various facilities. We generally provide a one-year warranty for our integrated circuit products.





Our revenues are derived primarily from sales of our semiconductor components into the flat panel monitor market. For the year ended March 31, 2002, 88.8% of our revenues came from this market. As a result, we derive a substantial
portion of our revenues from a limited number of products. For the year ended March 31, 2002 our gmZAN1 analog-only interface product contributed 45.4% of our revenues and our gm5020 dual-interface product contributed 29.8% of our revenues. Each of
these semiconductor products is targeted at the flat panel monitor market.

Our sales are also derived from a limited number of customers, with our largest
five customers accounting for 53% of total revenues in fiscal 2002, 31% of total revenues for fiscal 2001, and 34% during fiscal 2000.





For the year ended March 31, 2002, two customers, Samsung Electronics Co. and Top Victory Electronics Co., each accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2001, no customer accounted for
more than 10% of our total revenues, and for the year ended March 31, 2000, one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. At March 31, 2002, no customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable trade. At March 31, 2001, one
customer represented 10% of accounts receivable trade. The loss of any significant customer could have a material adverse impact on our business.





We sell our products primarily outside of the United States. In the year ended March 31, 2002, 94.2% of our revenues were from sales to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan and 4.0% of our revenues were from
customers in the United States.





Additional information on the concentration of our revenues by geography,
customers and markets can be found in note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.





As of March 31, 2002, our sales and marketing force totaled 94 people. This included 12 field applications engineers whose role is to create reference designs and assist our customers to incorporate our integrated circuits into their
products.





Manufacturing





Third parties with state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and technology manufacture our products. This approach enables us to focus on product design and development, minimizes capital expenditures
and provides us with access to advanced manufacturing facilities. Currently, our products are being fabricated, assembled or tested by Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, International Semiconductor Engineering Labs, Silicon Precision Industries
Ltd., ST Microelectronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and United Microelectronics Corporation.





As semiconductor manufacturing technologies advance, manufacturers typically retire their older manufacturing processes in favor of newer processes. When this occurs, the manufacturer generally provides notice to its customers of its
intent to discontinue a process, and its customers will either retire the affected part or design a newer version of the part that can be manufactured on the more advanced process. Consequently, our products may become unavailable from their current
manufacturers if the processes on which they are produced are discontinued. Our devices are mainly 0.25 micron technology and these geometries will likely be available for the next two to three years. We must manage the transition to new parts from
existing parts. We have commitments from our suppliers to provide notice of any discontinuance of their manufacturing processes in order to assist us in managing these types of product transitions.





All of our products are sourced such that there we have only one supplier for any one device. Based on our current production volumes,
this approach of single sourcing is reasonable. As our volumes grow, we intend to secure sufficient fabrication capacity and diversify our sources of supply. Any inability of a current supplier to provide adequate capacity would require us to obtain
products from alternate sources. There is a considerable amount of time required to change wafer fabrication suppliers for any single product, and well as substantial costs to bring that supplier into volume production. Should a source of a product
cease to be available, we believe that this would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have no guarantees of minimum capacity from our suppliers and are not liable for minimum purchase
commitments.

Intellectual property and licenses





We protect our technology through a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secret laws, trademark registrations, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements.
We have been issued 89 patents in the United States with an additional 40 patent applications pending. In addition to the United States, we apply for and have been granted patents in other jurisdictions, including Europe, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. We
have been issued 43 foreign patents and have 65 foreign patents pending. Our patents relate to various aspects of algorithms, product design or architectures. To supplement our proprietary technology, we also license several patents from third
parties.





Competition





The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and declining average selling prices. We face competition from
both large companies and start-up companies, including Macronix International Co., Media Reality Technologies,Inc., Ltd., Philips Semiconductors, a division of Philips Electronics NV, Pixelworks, Inc., Silicon Image, Inc., SmartASIC Inc., ST
Microelectronics, Inc., Trident Microsystems Inc. and Trumpion Microelectronics, Inc. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets are:





| |  |  | product design features and performance,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------




| |  |  | product price,
| | - |  | --------------




| |  |  | the time to market of our products, and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| |  |  | the quality and speed of customer support.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------




Backlog





Our customers typically order products by way of purchase orders that may be
canceled or rescheduled without significant penalty. These purchase orders are subject to price negotiations and to changes in quantities of products and delivery schedules in order to reflect changes in their requirements and manufacturing
availability. Historically, most of our sales have been made pursuant to short lead-time orders. In addition, our actual shipments depend on the manufacturing capability of our suppliers and the availability of products from those suppliers. As a
result of the foregoing factors, we do not believe the backlog at any given time is a meaningful indicator of our future revenues.





Employees





As of March 31, 2002, we employed a total of 408 full-time employees, including
230 in research and development, 94 in sales and marketing, 35 in manufacturing operations and 49 in finance and administration. We employ a number of temporary and part-time employees and consultants on a contract basis. Our employees are not
represented by a collective bargaining organization. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory.





Item
2.Properties:





We lease offices in Alviso, Milpitas and
Sunnyvale, California; Thornhill, Ontario, Canada; Bangalore, India; Taipei, Taiwan; Seoul, Korea; Shenzen, China; and Tokyo, Japan. We believe our existing facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the immediate future and that future growth
can be accomplished by leasing additional or alternative space on commercially reasonable terms. The facility that we lease in Milpitas, California was acquired in connection with the acquisition of Sage. That facility is not used for our current
operations and has been vacated. Further information on our lease commitments can be found in notes 8 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.

Item 3.Legal Proceedings:





On March 14, 2002, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Media Reality Technologies, Inc. (MRT), SmartASIC Inc., and Trumpion
Microelectronics, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that certain MRT, SmartASIC, and Trumpion products, which are sold as video/graphics display controllers, infringe various
claims of one of our U.S. patents. This patent has also been issued in Japan and Korea and is pending in Taiwan. As part of this lawsuit, we are seeking monetary damages and a permanent injunction that bars MRT, SmartASIC and Trumpion from making,
using, importing, offering to sell, or selling the allegedly infringing products in the United States.





On April
24, 2001, Silicon Image, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Genesis in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and simultaneously filed a complaint before the United States International Trade Commission
in Washington, D.C. The complaint and suit allege that all of Genesis products that contain digital receivers infringe on various claims of one of their patents. Genesis believes the lawsuit and the complaint are baseless and without merit and we
intend to vigorously defend against these claims. On December 7, 2001 Silicon Image, Inc. formally moved to withdraw its complaint before the United States International Trade Commission and have terminated these proceedings. The trial to be held in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is scheduled to commence on January 20, 2003. The future financial impact of these claims is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial
statements for any future costs associated with these claims.





In addition to the two specific proceedings set out
above, we are engaged in other legal proceedings that are not material in the aggregate.





Item
4.Submission of Matters To a Vote of Security Holders:





On
February 11, 2002, our shareholders approved a change in our domicile to Delaware from Nova Scotia, Canada. The change in domicile was a condition to closing our merger with Sage, Inc. The change in domicile was approved with 51 members (being
94.44% of those members present in person or by proxy) representing 13,630,729 shares (being 96.74% of those shares present in person or by proxy) voting in favor. Two members voted against the resolution (being 3.70% of those members present in
person or by proxy) representing 39,847 shares (being 0.28% of those shares present in person or by proxy). One member (being 1.85% of those members present in person or by proxy) representing 418,891 shares (being 2.97% of those shares present in
person or by proxy) abstained. The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia granted a final order approving an arrangement that effectively changed our domicile from Nova Scotia, Canada to Delaware. Our change in domicile was effective after the close of
trading on February 13, 2002.





Also on February 11, 2002, our stockholders approved the issuance of our common
stock to the stockholders of Sage, Inc. to complete our acquisition of Sage. That resolution was approved with 13,486,213 votes in favor of the proposal (being 98.67% of votes cast) and 181,209 votes against (being 1.33% of votes cast). There were
also 422,045 votes abstaining. Our acquisition of Sage was completed on February 19, 2002.

not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.





Recent sales of unregistered securities





On February 13, 2002, we changed our domicile to Delaware from Nova Scotia, Canada, pursuant to a plan of
arrangement approved by the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. Pursuant to the arrangement, each common share of our predecessor public company, Genesis Microchip Incorporated, a Nova Scotia company, was exchanged for one share of common stock of Genesis
Microchip Inc., a Delaware corporation. The exchange was exempt from registration by virtue of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations:





Overview





We design, develop and market integrated circuits that receive and process digital video and graphic images. We also supply reference boards and designs that incorporate
our proprietary integrated circuits. We are focused on developing and marketing image-processing solutions. We are currently targeting the flat-panel computer monitor market and other potential mass markets. We market and sell our products through
authorized distributors and directly to customers with the support of regional sales representatives. Average selling prices to




10




---

distributors are typically less than average selling prices to direct customers. Average selling prices and product margins of our products are typically highest during the initial months
following product introduction and decline over time and as volume increases.





We also sell finished systems
primarily to the high-end video market under the Faroudja brand. These products are generally sold through retail channels.





We recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, other than shipments to distributors. We comply with the revenue recognition guidance summarized in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements. Reserves for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of shipment. To date we have not experienced any significant product returns.





We also earn revenues from leasing out portions of our premises that are not required for our own operations, and from license fees and royalties. To date these amounts have not been material.





We have limited ability to reschedule purchase orders to our suppliers and we have to place purchase orders for
products before we receive purchase orders from our customers. This restricts our ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products and exposes us to the risk of having either too much or not enough of a particular product. We regularly
evaluate the carrying value of inventory held. For the year ended March 31, 2002, we recorded inventory provisions totaling $0.7 million (2001$1.3 million). We have agreements with suppliers in Asia such that we are dependent on the
suppliers manufacturing yields.





We earn investment tax credits under the provisions of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) because we carry out qualifying research and development activities in Canada. These tax credits are earned at a rate of 20% of those qualifying expenditures. The tax credits earned may only be applied to reduce income taxes payable in
Canada. We currently have losses and deductions available to reduce future years taxable income in both Canada and the United States. Most of these losses and deductions can be carried forward for periods in excess of seven years, and in some
cases, indefinitely. Details of these losses and deductions can be found in note 13 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in Item 8 of this report. As a result of the available tax losses and ongoing tax credits, we anticipate
that our average tax rate will be approximately 25% in fiscal 2003.





On May 28, 1999, we merged with Paradise
Electronics, Inc., a private company, and adopted a new fiscal year effective April 1, 1999. The merger with Paradise was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.





On February 19, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Sage, Inc. in exchange for 8,819,120 of our common shares. Sage, a public company, designed,
developed and marketed digital display and video processors. We also assumed the remaining outstanding stock options of Sage, which were converted to options to purchase 1,407,128 shares of our common stock. The aggregate purchase price was
approximately $296.7 million, consisting of our common stock valued at approximately $241.5 million, our stock options valued at approximately $31.9 million, and direct acquisition costs estimated at approximately $23.3 million.





On March 22, 2002, we acquired substantially all the assets of VM Labs., Inc, including all patents, trademarks and other
intellectual property for cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The aggregate purchase price, including associated costs, was $14.2 million. We won a public auction of those assets that culminated in a federal Bankruptcy Court proceeding
held on February 28, 2002. Because the date of closing on the purchase of VM Labs assets was late in our fiscal year, that acquisition had a negligible impact on our fiscal 2002 results of operations. In connection with that acquisition, we hired
former employees of VM Labs. We currently intend to transfer those employees to a newly formed company, Nuon Semiconductor, Inc., to which we would also license certain technologies and patents for development by that company of products for the DVD
player market. In exchange for the license agreement, we expect to receive an equity position in this newly formed company, as well as a call right to purchase a greater equity interest in that company if it is successful.




11




---

We currently expect that the newly formed company would raise equity financing from unrelated third parties. We expect that Nuon would also grant a substantial equity interest to its employees.
There can be no assurance that the newly formed company will be successfully organized or financed.





We are
accounting for the acquisitions of Sage and the assets of VM Labs using the purchase method of accounting. Those acquisitions gave rise to several expenses in fiscal 2002 that were not present in prior years, including amortization of acquired
intangibles, in-process research and development and restructuring expenses. In addition, costs of $0.8 million resulting from the acquisition of Sage related to the amortization of deferred stock compensation were included in research and
development and in selling, general and administrative expenses. For example, we recorded a $4.7 million charge for in-process research and development related to the Sage acquisition. At the time of the closing of the acquisition, Sage was
developing new products in multiple product areas that qualified as in-process research and development. A review of the technological feasibility of those products was made for the purposes of determining which products qualified as in-process
research and development. Technological feasibility is defined as being equivalent to the completion of design verification testing when the design is finalized and ready for pilot manufacturing. Products that will incorporate in-process
technologies include digital video interface/line doublers and other integrated chips. Developing and enhancing these products is time-consuming, costly and complex. There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet
customer or market specifications, and will not be competitive with other products using alternative technologies that offer comparable functionality. We expect that there will be ongoing amortizations to expense for core technology and deferred
stock compensation in future years. Further details on these amounts can be found in note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.





Critical accounting policies and estimates





The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. As described below, significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and the
useful lives of intangible assets. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, prepaid expenses, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations and
contingencies and litigation and other contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.





In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS
142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment under certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous standards required. Furthermore, SFAS 142 requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill
to be amortized over their useful lives unless their lives are determined to be infinite. The acquisitions that we completed during fiscal 2002 have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 142. Our acquired intangible assets are comprised of
acquired core technology, developed product technology, patents, trademarks and trade names, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired and has
not been amortized, but will be periodically tested for impairment. In arriving at the balances for goodwill arising out of the acquisitions of Sage, Inc. and the assets of VM Labs, Inc., estimates were made as to the fair values of assets purchased
and liabilities assumed, including the lease liability for vacated premises. Subsequent adjustments to those estimates may result in a change in the reported amount of goodwill in the period in which a change in estimate is made.




12




---




We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:





| |  |  | We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer returns and warranty claims based on historical experience. If actual customer returns or warranty claims
increase as a result of future product introductions or changes in product quality, we may be required to recognize additional reductions to revenue.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We provide for valuation reserves against our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of
inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those we project, additional inventory valuation reserves may be required.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We hold minority equity interests in other companies. We may record an investment impairment charge if we believe an investment has experienced a decline in
value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or our inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may be less than an
investments current carrying value, possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We record the estimated liability for premises not used in current operations based on the present value of all expected future payments related to the lease.
If additional payments are required under the terms of the lease or our underlying assumptions regarding the appropriate discount rate to use in calculating that present value change, we may be required to increase the amount of the recorded
liability.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Revenues.    Total revenues for
the year ended March 31, 2002 increased by $99.8 million to $163.4 million from total revenues of $63.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2001, an increase of 156.8%. Total




13




---

revenues for the year ended March 31, 2001 increased by $10.3 million or 19.3% from total revenues of $53.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2000. The increase in total revenues over the last
two fiscal years is primarily because of increased demand for our products in the flat panel monitor market. Revenues of Sage, Inc. are included in our total revenues from the date of acquisition, February 19, 2002. Those revenues amounted to $8.3
million of the increase in total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002.





Revenues from the flat panel monitor
market increased to $145.0 million or 88.8% of total revenues in the year ended March 31, 2002 from $45.9 million or 72.2% of total revenues in the year ended March 31, 2001, and from $36.8 million, or 69.0% of total revenues, in the year ended
March 31, 2000. This increase was a result of overall growth of that market together with our increased share of that market, partially offset by declining average selling prices.





The overall growth of the flat panel monitor market was positively impacted by reductions in retail selling prices of the end products. This decline was primarily a result
of reductions in the cost of LCD panels used in flat panel monitors that resulted from additional manufacturing capacity and improved manufacturing yields for the LCD panels. In fiscal 2002 and 2001, retail prices of flat panel computer monitors
continued to decline, increasing overall demand in the flat-panel computer monitor market.





Revenue from other
markets increased to $18.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2002 from $17.7 million in the year ended March 31, 2001.





Gross Profit.    Gross profit for the year ended March 31, 2002 increased to $74.1 million from $31.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2001, and compared to $36.3 million in the year ended March 31,
2000. Gross profit represented 45.3% of total revenues in the 2002 fiscal year, 49.1% of total revenues in the 2001 fiscal year and 68.1% of total revenues in the 2000 fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit percentage in fiscal 2002 was primarily
due to our average selling prices declining faster than our average manufacturing cost. The decrease in gross profit percentage in the fiscal 2001 year was primarily attributable to costs incurred in the fourth quarter of the 2001 fiscal year. These
costs, which totaled $5.5 million in that year, included costs attributable to the write down of our prior-generation products and initial low manufacturing yield associated with the line buffer sections in one of our products. $1.3 million of these
costs related to the write down of inventory on hand at March 31, 2001. Excluding these costs, our gross margin would have been 57.7% in fiscal 2001. We expect that our gross margins in fiscal 2003 will decline further, as a result of lower average
selling prices and competitive pricing pressures.





Research and
Development.    Research and development expenses include costs associated with research and development personnel, development tools and prototyping costs. Research and development expenses for the year ended March 31, 2002
increased to $21.8 million from $17.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2001 and from $16.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2000. These expenses represented 13.3% of total revenues in the 2002 fiscal year, 27.4% of total revenues in fiscal
2001, and 30.1% of total revenues in fiscal 2000. The increase in absolute dollars in each year reflects greater personnel costs associated with an expansion in our research and development activities, increased prototype and pre-production expenses
of new products and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation charges arising from the acquisition of Sage. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in our research and development activities and anticipate that research and
development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars. The decreases in expenses as a percentage of total revenues resulted from the faster rate of growth in total revenues compared to growth in research and development expenses.





Selling, General and Administrative.    Selling, general and administrative expenses
consist of personnel, commissions and related overhead costs for selling, marketing, customer support, finance, human resources and general management functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.5 million in the year ended March
31, 2002, $15.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2001, and $12.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2000. These expenses represented 13.1% of total revenues in the 2002 fiscal year, 25.1% of total




14




---

revenues in the 2001 fiscal year, and 23.2% of total revenues in the 2000 fiscal year. The dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects increased personnel costs
related to increased selling, administrative and customer support activities and increased commissions associated with higher sales volumes, as well as an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation charges arising from the acquisition of Sage. In
addition, in fiscal 2001 we incurred $0.9 million in costs of employee terminations and for professional fees and expenses associated with strategic initiatives that we terminated due to economic and market conditions. Excluding those costs,
selling, general and administrative costs in fiscal 2001 would have been 23.6% of total revenues. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the future in absolute dollars due to the addition of administrative, marketing,
selling and customer support personnel and because of continued expansion of our international operations.





Interest and Other Income.Interest and other income in the year ended March 31, 2002 was $1.5 million, compared with $2.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2001, and $1.9 million in the year ended
March 31, 2000. The decline in interest income resulted from the decline in prevailing interest rates, offset in part by holding increased cash balances. Future interest income will depend on the amount of funds available to invest and on
future interest rates.





Provision for Income Taxes.    Our tax provision is a
combination of taxes on income offset by the substantial research and development tax credits earned in Canada and the United States. Future income tax provisions will depend on our effective tax rates and the distribution of taxable income between
taxation jurisdictions, the amount of research and development performed in Canada, and the likelihood of being able to utilize available tax credits or losses.





Quarterly results of operations





The following table shows our unaudited quarterly
statement of operations data for the most recent eight quarters reported. This unaudited data has been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements that are included in Item 8 of this report, and includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such information for the periods presented. The statement of operations data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements

Results of operations in the March 2002 quarter include the impacts of the
acquisitions of Sage and the VM Labs assets, both of which were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The majority of our revenues come from sales of semiconductors to manufacturers of flat-panel computer monitors. Revenues for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 include revenues of Sage from the date of acquisition of February 19, 2002 and amounted to $8.3 million. Gross margins have declined over time as a result of reductions in average selling prices driven by volume
increases and competition. In addition, we incurred costs of $5.5 million in the March 2001 quarter attributable to the write down of our prior-generation products and initial low manufacturing yield associated with the line buffer sections in one
of our new products. These costs are included in costs of revenues in the March 2001 column above. Research and development expenses have varied from quarter to quarter primarily due to the timing of non-recurring engineering charges related to new
product development. Selling, general and administrative expenses have varied from quarter to quarter due to increases in levels of staff for sales and customer support activities, and variable commissions based on sales levels. In addition, in the
March 2001 quarter we incurred costs of $0.9 million for employee terminations and for professional fees and expenses associated with strategic initiatives that we terminated due to economic and market conditions.





Our results of operations have fluctuated significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include those described under the caption Risk Factors, among others. Any one or more of these factors could result in our failure to achieve our expectations as to future
operating results. Our expenditures for research and development, selling, general and administrative functions are based in part on future revenue projections. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner in response to any unanticipated
declines in revenues, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be required to reduce our selling prices in response to competitive pressure or other factors or increase spending
to pursue new market opportunities or to defend ourselves against lawsuits that may be brought against us. Any decline in average selling prices of a particular product that is not offset by a reduction in product costs or by sales of other products
with higher gross margins would decrease our overall gross profit and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.





Periodto-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. It is likely that in some future period our operating results or business
outlook will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which would likely result in a significant reduction in the market price for our common shares.





Liquidity and capital resources





Cash and cash equivalents
were $106.6 million at March 31, 2002, $32.8 million at March 31, 2001, and $42.9 million at March 31, 2000. Cash generated from operations was $16.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 and net cash used in operations was $10.1 million for the
year ended March 31, 2001. For the year ended March 31, 2000 cash generated from operations was $13.5 million. The increase in cash flow from operations for fiscal 2002 compared to the prior year was primarily the result of increased sales volume.
The decrease in cash flow from operations in fiscal 2001 compared with the prior year was largely the result of increased working capital balances, being principally increases in accounts receivable trade and inventory to support a higher sales
level. In the future we may require a larger inventory of products and increased levels of accounts receivable trade in order to support anticipated growth in our business.





Net cash provided by investing activities was $19.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2002, and net cash used in investing activities was $2.3 million in the year ended
March 31, 2001, and $11.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2000. The fiscal 2002 increase in net cash was primarily provided by the cash and short-term investments of $34.3 million acquired on the purchase of Sage less the acquisition of the
assets of VM Labs for $13.6 million in cash. In fiscal 2001 and 2000, cash was used for the purchase of capital assets, resulting from the continued expansion of our business through development of new products and investments in leasehold
improvements in new facilities in Alviso and Thornhill. At March 31, 2002 we have no significant capital spending or purchase commitments other than purchase commitments made in the ordinary course of business.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $37.7 million for the year ended
March 31, 2002, $2.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2001 and $2.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2000. This consisted primarily of amounts received for the purchase of shares under our stock purchase and stock option plans.





As of March 31, 2002, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under operating leases and a lease for
vacated premises in Milpitas, California. These commitments include leases for three premises in the United States, located in Milpitas, Sunnyvale and Alviso, California, one location in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada and one location in each of China,
India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. In addition we have obligations under operating leases for equipment.





The
aggregate estimated annual payments required under our lease obligations, excluding expected sub-lease income, by fiscal year are as follows, in thousands of dollars:

Our lease agreements expire at various dates through 2012. Further
information on lease obligations and commitments can be found in notes 8 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.





In connection with the acquisition of assets from VM Labs, we hired former employees of VM Labs. See discussion in this Item 7 under Overview. Until a newly formed company hires these
employees, we intend to continue to employ those persons. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003 we expect to expend approximately $2.0 million primarily in connection with these employees. If a newly formed entity is formed and hires these
employees, we expect that the company will repay us for those expenditures, however there can be no assurance that the new company will be implemented or that it will secure financing that would allow it to repay us for those expenditures.





Since inception we have satisfied our liquidity needs primarily through the sales of equity securities. We
believe that our existing cash balances together with any cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements on a short-term basis.





On a long-term basis, we may be required to raise additional capital to fund investments in operating assets such as accounts receivable or inventory to assist in the
growth of our business, or for capital assets such as land, buildings or equipment. Because we do not have our own semiconductor manufacturing facility, we may be required to make deposits to secure supply in the event there is a shortage of
manufacturing capacity in the future. Although we currently have no plans to raise additional funds for such uses, we could be required or could elect to seek to raise additional capital in the future. In addition, from time to time we evaluate
acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that complement our business. Any such transactions, if consummated, may use a portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity securities that may result in further dilution to
our existing shareholders.





Recent accounting pronouncements





In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS Nos. 141 and 142, Business CombinationsandGoodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS 141 replaces APB 16 and prospectively




17




---

eliminates pooling-of-interests accounting. It also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of intangible assets and accounting for negative goodwill. SFAS 142 changes
the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Under SFAS 142, goodwill will be tested annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. SFAS 141 and 142 are
effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 142 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We adopted SFAS 141 and 142 on April 1, 2002 and they were effective for our
acquisition of Sage, Inc. in February 2002 and our acquisition of the assets of VM Labs, Inc. in March 2002.

141 will require, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that we evaluate our existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations and make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the criteria in
SFAS 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, we are required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the
first interim period after adoption. Because SFAS 141 and 142 were effective for our acquisitions of Sage and VM Labs, we do not anticipate any reclassifications, changes to estimated useful lives or residual values of intangible assets as of the
date of adoption.





To the extent that an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, we
will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 within the first interim period. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the first interim period.





In connection with SFAS 142s transitional
goodwill impairment evaluation, we will also be required to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this, we must identify our reporting units and determine the
carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. We will then have up to nine months from the date of adoption
to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting units carrying amount. To the extent a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting units
goodwill may be impaired and we must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test.





In the second
step, we must compare the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting units fair value to all of it assets and liabilities, in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance
with SFAS 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss
will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our statement of operations.





As of the date of adoption, we expect to have unamortized goodwill in the amount of $198.9 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $47.2 million, which will be subject to the transition provisions of
SFAS 141 and 142. There was no amortization expense related to goodwill for the year ended March 31, 2002.





Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting SFAS 141 and 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting them on our financial statements at the date of this report, in particular, whether
we will be required to recognize any transitional impairment losses as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.





In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We have not yet determined what effect the adoption of SFAS 143 will have on our financial statements.

Also in August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. This new statement also supersedes certain aspects of APB 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, with regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment
of a business and will require expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be reported in discontinued operations in the period incurred (rather than as of the measurement date as presently required by APB 30). In addition, more
dispositions may qualify for discontinued operations treatment. The provisions of this statement are required to be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet
determined what effect the adoption of SFAS 144 will have on our financial statements.

RISK FACTORS





You should carefully consider the risks described below, elsewhere in this report and in the documents that we have incorporated by reference into this report. This report contains forward-looking
statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The factors described below are cautionary statements identifying important matters that you should consider, including risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to
differ materially and adversely from our forward-looking statements.





Factors that may affect future operating results





The following factors may have a harmful impact on our business:





Our success will depend on the growth of the flat-panel computer monitor market and other electronics markets





Our ability to generate increased revenues will depend on the growth of the flat-panel computer monitor market. This market is at an early
stage of development. Our continued growth will also depend upon emerging markets for consumer electronics markets such as home theater, DVD, flat screen and digital television, and HDTV. The potential size of these markets and the timing of their
development is uncertain and will depend in particular upon:





| |  |  | a significant reduction in the costs of products in the respective markets,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the availability of components required by such products, and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the emergence of competing technologies.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------




For example, the growth of the flat panel monitor market is dependant on the volume and cost of LCD panels. The manufacturing of LCD panels is a capital-intensive process that requires substantial time
to expand capacity. Because the cost of LCD panels has a significant impact on the end price of a flat panel monitor, any increase in the cost of LCD panels or reduction in LCD panel manufacturing capacity available for the flat panel monitor market
could have material adverse impact on the growth of that market and our business.





For the year ended March 31,
2002, 88.8% of our revenues were derived from sales to customers in the flat panel computer monitor market. This and other potential markets may not develop as expected, which would harm our business.





The sales of our products are highly concentrated and our products may not continue to be accepted in the flat-panel computer monitor market and other
emerging markets





Our sales are derived from a limited number of products. Sales of our top two products
accounted for 75.2% of our revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002. We expect that a small number of products will continue to account for a large amount of our revenues.





Our success in the flat panel computer monitor market, as well as the markets for home theater, DVD, flat panel and digital television, and HDTV will depend upon the extent
to which manufacturers of those products incorporate our integrated circuits into their products. Our ability to sell products into these markets will depend upon demand for the functionality provided by our products. We typically need to determine
the functionality of our products and to complete their design in advance our customers completing the designs of their products. As a result, we may not be able to react to changes in our customers desired functionality in a timely manner.





The failure of our products to be accepted in the flat panel computer monitor market in particular would harm our
business.




20




---




We must develop new products and enhance our existing products to react to rapid technological change





We must develop new products and enhance our existing products with improved technologies to meet rapidly
evolving customer requirements and industry standards. We need to design products for customers that continually require higher functionality at lower costs. This requires us to continue to add features to our products and to include all of these
features on a single chip. The development process for these advances is lengthy and will require us to accurately anticipate technological innovations and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is time-consuming, costly and complex.
There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications, and will not be competitive with other products using alternative technologies that offer comparable functionality. We may be
unable to successfully develop new products or product enhancements. Any new products or product enhancements may not be accepted in new or existing markets. If we fail to develop and introduce new products or product enhancements, that failure will
harm our business.





We face intense competition and may not be able to compete effectively





We compete with both large companies and start-up companies, including Macronix International Co., Ltd., Media Reality Technologies, Inc.,
Philips Semiconductors, a division of Philips Electronics N.V., Pixelworks, Inc., Silicon Image, Inc., SmartASIC Inc., ST Microelectronics, Inc., Trident Microsystems, Inc. and Trumpion Microelectronics, Inc. We anticipate that as the markets for
our products develop, our current customers may develop their own products and competition from diversified electronic and semiconductor companies will intensify. Some competitors are likely to include companies with greater financial and other
resources than us. Increased competition could harm our business, by, for example, increasing pressure on our profit margins or causing us to lose customers.





The processes used to manufacture our semiconductor products are periodically retired





As semiconductor manufacturing technologies advance, manufacturers typically retire their older manufacturing processes in favor of newer processes. When this occurs, the manufacturer generally provides notice to its customers of its
intent to discontinue a process, and its customers will either retire the affected part or design a newer version of the part that can be manufactured on the more advanced process. Consequently, our products may become unavailable from their current
manufacturers if the processes on which they are produced are discontinued. Our devices are mainly 0.25 micron technology and these geometries will likely be available for the next two to three years. We must manage the transition to new parts from
existing parts. We have commitments from our suppliers to provide notice of any discontinuance of their manufacturing processes in order to assist us in managing these types of product transitions.





Our semiconductor products are complex and are difficult to manufacture cost-effectively





The manufacture of semiconductors is a complex process. It is often difficult for semiconductor foundries to achieve acceptable product yields. Product yields depend on
both our product design and the manufacturing process technology unique to the semiconductor foundry. Since low yields may result from either design or process difficulties, identifying yield problems can only occur well into the production cycle,
when a product exists which can be physically analyzed and tested.





Defects in our products could increase our costs and delay our
product shipments





Although we test our products, they are complex and may contain defects and errors. In the
past we have encountered defects and errors in our products. Delivery of products with defects or reliability, quality or compatibility problems may damage our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. In
addition, product defects and errors could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical resources, delayed product shipments, increased product returns, and product liability claims against us which may not be fully covered by
insurance. Any of these could harm our business.




21




---




We subcontract our manufacturing, assembly and test operations





We do not have our own fabrication facilities, assembly or testing operations. Instead, we rely on others to fabricate, assemble and test
all of our products. Virtually all of our products use silicon wafers manufactured either by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation or by United Microelectronics Corporation. No single product is purchased from more than one supplier. There
are many risks associated with our dependence upon outside manufacturing, including:





| |  |  | reduced control over manufacturing and delivery schedules of products,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | potential political or environmental risks in the countries where the manufacturing facilities are located,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | reduced control over quality assurance,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| |  |  | difficulty of management of manufacturing costs and quantities,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | potential misappropriation of intellectual property.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------




We depend upon outside manufacturers to fabricate silicon wafers on which our integrated circuits are imprinted. These wafers must be of acceptable quality and in sufficient quantity and the
manufacturers must deliver them to assembly and testing subcontractors on time for packaging into final products. We have at times experienced delivery delays and long manufacturing lead times. These manufacturers fabricate, test and assemble
products for other companies. We cannot be sure that our manufacturers will devote adequate resources to the production of our products or deliver sufficient quantities of finished products to us on time or at an acceptable cost. The lead-time
necessary to establish a strategic relationship with a new manufacturing partner is considerable. We would be unable to readily obtain an alternative source of supply for any of our products if this proves necessary. Any occurrence of these
manufacturing difficulties could harm our business.





Our third-party wafer foundries, third-party assembly and test subcontractors and
significant customers are located in an area susceptible to earthquakes





All of our outside foundries and most
of our third-party assembly and test subcontractors are located in Taiwan, which is an area susceptible to earthquakes. In addition, some of our significant customers are located in Taiwan. Damage caused by earthquakes in Taiwan may result in
shortages of water or electricity or cause transportation difficulties that could limit the production capacity of our outside foundries or the ability of our subcontractors to provide assembly and test services. Any reduction in production capacity
or the ability to provide assembly and test services could cause delays or shortages in our product supply, which would harm our business. Customers located in Taiwan were responsible for 38.5% of our product revenue for the year ended March 31,
2002. If future earthquakes damage our customers facilities or equipment they could reduce their purchases of our products, which would harm our business. In addition, the operations of suppliers to our outside foundries and our Taiwanese
customers could be disrupted by future earthquakes, which could in turn harm our business by resulting in shortages in our product supply or reduced purchases of our products.





A large percentage of our revenues come from sales to a small number of large customers





The markets for our products are highly concentrated. Our sales are derived from a limited number of customers. Sales to our largest five customers accounted for 53.1% of our revenues for the year
ended March 31, 2002. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a large amount of our revenues. All of our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements so that any customer could cease
purchasing products at any time without penalty. The decision by any large customer to decrease or cease using our products could harm our business.





We do not have long-term commitments from our customers, and we allocate resources based on our estimates of customer demand





Our sales are made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term purchase commitments. In addition, our customers may cancel or defer purchase orders. We manufacture our products according to
our




22




---

estimates of customer demand. This process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we overestimate customer demand, we
may manufacture products that we may not be able to sell. As a result, we would have excess inventory, which would increase our losses. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand or if sufficient manufacturing capacity is unavailable, we would
forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships.





Our lengthy sales cycle can result in
uncertainty and delays in generating revenues





Because our products are based on new technology and standards,
a lengthy sales process, typically requiring several months or more, is often required before potential customers begin the technical evaluation of our products. This technical evaluation can then exceed six months. It can take an additional six
months before a customer commences volume shipments of systems that incorporate our products. However, even when a manufacturer decides to design our products into its systems, the manufacturer may never ship systems incorporating our products.
Given our lengthy sales cycle, we experience a delay between the time we increase expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing efforts and inventory and the time we generate revenues, if any, from these expenditures. As a result,
our business could be harmed if a significant customer reduces or delays its orders or chooses not to release products incorporating our products.





Our business depends on relationships with industry leaders that are non-binding





We work
closely with industry leaders in the markets we serve to design products with improved performance, cost and functionality. We typically commit significant research and development resources to such design activities. We often divert financial and
personnel resources from other development projects without entering into agreements obligating these industry leaders to continue the collaborative design project or to purchase the resulting products. The failure of an industry leader to complete
development of a collaborative design project or to purchase the products resulting from such projects would have an immediate and serious impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our inability to establish such
relationships in the future would, similarly, harm our business.





A large percentage of our revenues will come from sales outside of
the United States, which creates additional business risks





A large portion of our revenues will come from
sales to customers outside of the United States, particularly to equipment manufacturers located in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. For the year ended March 31, 2002, sales to regions outside of the United States represented 95.9% of revenues.
These sales are subject to numerous risks, including:





| |  |  | fluctuations in currency exchange rates, tariffs, import restrictions and other trade barriers,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------




| |  |  | longer payment periods,
| | - |  | -----------------------




| |  |  | potentially adverse tax consequences,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------




| |  |  | export license requirements,
| | - |  | ----------------------------




| |  |  | political and economic instability, and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| |  |  | unexpected changes in diplomatic and trade relationships.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------




Because our sales are denominated in United States dollars, increases in the value of the United States dollar could increase the price of our products in non-U.S. markets
and make our products more expensive than competitors products denominated in local currencies.




23




---




We are subject to risks associated with international operations, which may harm our business.





We depend on product design groups located outside the United States, primarily in Canada and in India. We
also rely on foreign third-party manufacturing, assembly and testing operations.





These foreign operations subject
us to a number of risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States, including the following:





| |  |  | Unexpected changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Delays resulting from difficulty in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, tariffs, quotas and other trade barriers and restrictions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Imposition of additional taxes and penalties;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------




| |  |  | The burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Other factors beyond our control, including terrorism, which may delay the shipment of our products, impair our ability to travel or our ability to communicate
with foreign locations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




In addition, the laws of foreign countries in which our products are
or may be designed, manufactured or sold may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. This increases the possibility of piracy of our technology and products.





The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may lead to significant variances in the demand for our products.





In the past, significant downturns and wide fluctuations in supply and demand have characterized the semiconductor industry. Also, the
industry has experienced significant fluctuations in anticipation of changes in general economic conditions. These cycles have led to significant variances in product demand and production capacity. They have also accelerated the erosion of average
selling prices per unit. We may experience periodic fluctuations in our future financial results because of changes in industry-wide conditions.





We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary
technologies.





We have been issued patents and have pending United States and foreign patent applications.
However, we cannot assure you that any patent will be issued as a result of any applications or, if issued, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. In addition, it is possible that existing or future patents may
be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, or technology without authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Effective
copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in foreign countries. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property would harm our business.





Others may bring infringement claims against us that could be time-consuming and expensive to defend





In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. This litigation is widespread in the high-technology industry and
is particularly prevalent in the semiconductor industry, where a number of companies aggressively use their patent portfolios by bringing numerous infringement claims. In addition, in recent years, there has been an increase in the filing of
so-called nuisance suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into entering settlement arrangements to quickly dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. We may become a party to
litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a result of an alleged infringement of others intellectual property. For example, we are currently defending claims brought against us by Silicon Image, Inc. as described in
Item 3 of this Form 10-K.




24




---




Any such lawsuit could subject us to significant liability for damages and
invalidate our proprietary rights. These lawsuits, regardless of their success, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention. Any potential intellectual property litigation could force us to
do one or more of the following:





| |  |  | stop selling products or using technology that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | attempt to obtain a license to the relevant intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | attempt to redesign those products that contain the allegedly infringing intellectual property.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




If we are forced to take any of these actions, we may be unable to manufacture and sell some of our products, which could harm our
business.





We have grown rapidly, which strains our management and resources





We are experiencing a period of significant growth that will continue to place a great strain on our management and other resources. To manage our growth effectively,
we must:





| |  |  | implement and improve operational and financial systems;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | train and manage our employee base; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------




| |  |  | attract and retain qualified personnel with relevant experience.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------




We must also manage multiple relationships with customers, business partners, and other third parties, such as our foundry and test partners. Moreover, we will spend
substantial amounts of time and money in connection with our rapid growth and may have unexpected costs. Our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our operations and we may not be able to expand quickly enough to exploit
potential market opportunities. Our future operating results will also depend on expanding sales and marketing, research and development and administrative support. If we cannot attract qualified people or manage growth effectively, our business
would be seriously harmed.





We may not be able to attract or retain the key personnel we need to succeed





Competition for qualified management, engineering and technical employees is intense. As a result, employees could leave with little or no
prior notice. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain employees.





If we cannot attract and
retain key employees, our business would be harmed.





We must complete the integration of prior acquisitions and may make future
acquisitions which involve numerous risks





Our growth is dependent upon market growth and our ability to
enhance our existing products and introduce new products on a timely basis. One of the ways we may address the need to develop new products is through acquisitions of other companies or technologies, such as our recent acquisitions of Sage and the
assets of VM Labs. Because both of these acquisitions were only recently completed, they have not yet been fully integrated into our operations. The recent acquisitions and potential future acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the
following:





| |  |  | We may experience difficulty in assimilating the acquired operations and employees;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We may be unable to retain the key employees of the acquired operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | The acquisitions may disrupt our ongoing business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



25




---




| |  |  | We may not be able to incorporate successfully the acquired technologies and operations into our business and maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and
procedures; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We may lack the experience to enter into new markets, products or technologies.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Acquisitions of high-technology companies are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our recent or that potential future acquisitions will be successful and
will not adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. We must also maintain our ability to manage any our growth effectively. Failure to manage growth effectively and successfully integrate acquisitions made by us could
materially harm our business and operating results.





We may not be able to recover the expenditures we have been incurring since March
31, 2002 to fund the operations of a newly formed company





We intend to license various technologies to a
newly formed third party, principally for use in the DVD player market. In exchange for the license of technologies, we expect to obtain a minority interest in the newly formed company. We anticipate that the newly formed company will arrange
additional financing from unrelated sources to fund its ongoing operations. As an interim measure, we plan to advance funds to the newly formed company to cover its operating expenditures pending the completion of its funding, which we expect to be
complete by September 30, 2002.





We expect to fund expenditures primarily associated with the hiring of former
employees of VM Labs of approximately $2.0 million per quarter until the newly formed entity is created and hires those employees. We anticipate that the new company will reimburse us for those expenditures. At this time, no agreement has been
reached in connection with the formation of that new company. If the new company is unable to arrange funding in an amount sufficient to repay us for the expenditures we make or have made on its behalf, then we would have to take a charge to income
for the unrecoverable amount of those expenditures.





Other factors to consider





You should also consider the following factors:





The price of our stock fluctuates substantially and may continue to do so





The
stock market has experienced large price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many technology companies that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These factors, as well as general
economic and political conditions, may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock in the future. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:





| |  |  | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | changes in expectations as to our future financial performance;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | changes in financial estimates of securities analysts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | changes in market valuations of other technology companies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, design wins, contracts, standards or acquisitions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the number of our shares that are available for trading by the public and the trading volume of our shares.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Due to these factors, the price of our stock may decline and the value of your investment would be reduced. In addition, the stock market
experiences volatility often unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may cause our stock price to decline regardless of our performance.




26

Item 7a.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk:





We are exposed to financial market risks including changes in interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates.





The fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly
impacted by either a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio.





We carry out a significant portion of our operations outside the United States, primarily in Canada and in India and to a lesser extent China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Although virtually all of
our revenues and costs of revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, portions of our operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and
those currencies. Any future strengthening of the those currencies against the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our operating results by increasing our operating expenses as measured in U.S. dollars. We do not currently engage in any hedging or
other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, other than natural hedges that occur as a result of holding both assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We may in the future
undertake hedging or other such transactions if we determine that it is necessary to offset exchange rate risks. Based on our overall currency rate exposure at March 31, 2002 a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation would not have a material
effect on our operating results or financial condition.

AUDITORS REPORT





To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of


Genesis Microchip Inc.





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genesis Microchip Inc. as at March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2002, March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule
as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.





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





In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 and the results of operations and its
cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2002, March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

GENESIS MICROCHIP INC.





NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.    Nature of operations





Genesis Microchip Inc.
(Genesis) designs, develops and markets integrated circuits that receive and process digital video and graphic images.





2.    Significant accounting policies





Basis of consolidation





These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genesis and its subsidiaries. All
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.





Use of estimates





The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and the useful lives of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Cash and cash equivalents





All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents.





Short term investments





All
liquid investments with an original maturity of longer than three months at the date of acquisition are classified as short term investments.





Inventory





Inventory is stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or net realizable value.





Property and equipment





Property and equipment are stated at cost. Amortization is recorded using the following methods and annual rates over the estimated useful
lives of the assets:





Property and equipment

20% to 30% declining balanceComputer software

20%-100% straight-lineLeasehold improvements

Straight-line over the term of the lease





Genesis regularly reviews the carrying values of its property and
equipment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the expected future cash flows to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated amount recoverable, a write-down equal to the excess of the carrying value over the
assets fair value is charged to the consolidated statement of operations.

GENESIS MICROCHIP INC.





NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)







Intangible assets and goodwill





In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
issued SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment under certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous standards required. Furthermore, SFAS 142 requires purchased intangible assets
other than goodwill to be amortized over their useful lives unless their lives are determined to be infinite. Acquisitions completed during the current fiscal year have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 142.





Intangible assets are comprised of acquired core technology, acquired developed product technology, patents, trademarks and trade names.
Patents are amortized on a declining balance basis at a rate of 10% while all other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over four to seven years. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired and has not been amortized, but will be periodically tested for impairment.





In arriving at the balances
for goodwill arising out of the acquisitions of Sage, Inc. and the assets of VM Labs, Inc., estimates were made as to the fair values of assets purchased and liabilities assumed, including the lease liability for vacated premises. Subsequent
adjustments to those estimates may result in a change in the reported amount of goodwill in the period in which a change in estimate is made.





Revenue recognition





Genesis recognizes revenue from
product sales to customers when a contract is established, the price is determined, shipment is made and collection is reasonably assured. Genesis policy on sales to distributors is to defer recognition of sales and related cost of sales until
the distributors resell the product. Product returns and allowances are estimated and provided for at the time of sale. To date, Genesis has not experienced any significant product returns.





Currency translation





The U.S.
dollar is the functional currency of Genesis and of its subsidiaries. Transactions of Genesis and its subsidiaries originating in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates approximating those at the date of the
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end rate of exchange and non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are included in the
consolidated statement of operations for the period.





Research and development expenses





Research and development costs are expensed as incurred other than acquired developed product and core technology that has
alternative future use (note 4).





Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk





Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable trade, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, lease liability and loan payable. Genesis determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on quoted market values or discounted cash flow analyses. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of financial
assets and financial liabilities approximate their recorded amounts.




36




---



GENESIS MICROCHIP INC.





NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)







Financial instruments that potentially subject Genesis to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable trade. Cash equivalents consist of deposits with or guaranteed by major commercial banks, the maturities of which are three months or
less from the date of purchase. Short-term investments consist of U.S. government debt securities, corporate debt securities and equity securities. With respect to accounts receivable, Genesis performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial
condition of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Credit losses have
been within managements range of expectations.





Earnings per share





Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the period available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period. Basic earnings per share exclude the dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock such as those issuable on exercise of stock options. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to
all potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is calculated assuming that the proceeds from potential shares of common stock are used to repurchase common stock at the
average stock price in the period.





Stock-based compensation





The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting of Stock Issued to
Employees and related interpretations, in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, deferred stock-based compensation is recorded at the option grant date in an amount equal to the excess of the market value of a common share
over the exercise price of the option. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the individual options, generally two to four years, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44. Genesis applies the fair value
method of FASB Statement No. 123 for valuing options granted to non-employees. The issuance of shares for consideration that is less than the market value of the shares results in compensation expense equal to the excess of the market value of the
shares over the fair value of the consideration received.





Comprehensive income





Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period resulting from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, there was no difference for Genesis between net income and comprehensive income.





Income taxes





Genesis applies
the asset and liability method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided.

GENESIS MICROCHIP INC.





NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)







Genesis is entitled to Canadian federal and provincial investment tax
credits that are earned as a percentage of eligible current and capital research and development expenditures incurred in each taxation year. Investment tax credits are available to be applied against future income tax liabilities, subject to a
ten-year carry forward period. Investment tax credits are classified as a reduction of income tax expense for items of a current nature and a reduction of the related asset cost for items of a longterm nature, provided that Genesis has
reasonable assurance that the tax credits will be realized.





Recent accounting pronouncements





In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations to be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and changes the criteria for recognition of intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. The provisions of SFAS 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized; however, these assets must be
reviewed at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their respective useful lives. The provisions of SFAS 142 will be effective for Genesis fiscal year beginning April 1,
2002, except that goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 are subject immediately to the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142. The acquisitions (note 4) in 2002 have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 141 and
SFAS 142.





In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,
which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002. Genesis has not yet determined what effect the adoption of SFAS 143 will have on its financial statements.





In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 amends existing accounting guidance on asset impairment and provides a single accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of. Among other provisions, the new rules change the criteria for classifying an asset as held-for-sale. The standard also broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued
operations, and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations. The provisions of SFAS 144 will be effective for Genesiss fiscal year 2003 and will be applied prospectively. Genesis has not yet determined what effect the adoption
of SFAS 144 will have on its financial statements.





3.    Reorganization





Genesis Microchip Incorporated, a Nova Scotia company (Genesis Microchip), reorganized to a Delaware corporation effective
February 13, 2002. In the reorganization, the holders of shares of Genesis Microchip exchanged their shares for an equal number of newly issued shares of Genesis Microchip Inc. (Genesis), a newly formed Delaware corporation. For
accounting purposes, the reorganization was accounted for as a non-substantive exchange whereby Genesis recorded the net assets of Genesis Microchip in its consolidated financial statements initially at the same carrying value as recorded in the
consolidated financial statements of Genesis Microchip immediately prior to the reorganization. In addition, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows previously reported by Genesis Microchip prior to the reorganization are
reported unchanged in the comparative period to the consolidated financial statements of Genesis. Costs of this reorganization, which were not material, were expensed as incurred. See note 9 for a description of the capital stock of Genesis.

4.    Business combinations





Sage, Inc.





On February 19, 2002, Genesis issued 8,819,120 common shares for all the outstanding common shares of Sage, Inc. (Sage). Sage designed, developed and marketed digital display and video processors. Genesis also assumed
remaining outstanding stock options that were converted to options to purchase 1,407,128 shares of Genesis common stock. This business combination has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was approximately
$296.7 million, consisting of Genesis common stock valued at approximately $241.5 million, Genesis stock options valued at approximately $31.9 million, and direct acquisition costs estimated at approximately $23.3 million. Common stock was valued at
$27.38 using the average closing price of Genesis stock for a period of two trading days before and after the announcement date of acquisition, which was September 28, 2001. Stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model,
applying a weighted average expected life of 5 years, a risk-free rate of 2.5% at the time of the transaction, an expected dividend yield of zero, a volatility of 104% and a deemed fair value of $27.38 per share. The intrinsic value of unvested
options, totaling approximately $18.3 million, was recorded as deferred stock-based compensation on the acquisition.





The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on managements analysis and estimates of their fair values of tangible assets and on an independent appraisal for all other identifiable assets.
The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

The acquired developed product technology, which is comprised of
products that are already technologically feasible, includes products in most of Sages product lines. These include digital video interface/line doublers, video enhancers, decoders and integrated chips for their home theatre and multi-media
products. The acquired developed product technology of approximately $30.8 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated remaining useful life of four years.





The acquired core technology, which is comprised of proprietary know-how that is already technologically feasible, includes projects that are expected to leverage
functionality from previous developed products and technologies. The acquired core technology of approximately $4.3 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated remaining useful life of four years.

The trademarks and trade names consist of the Faroudja trade name and
its Directional Correlational De-Interlacing label. The assigned value of approximately $500,000 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated remaining useful life of four years.





Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets. The carrying value of this goodwill will be
reviewed periodically for potential impairment. No impairment has been identified at March 31, 2002.





At the time
of the closing of the acquisition, Sage was developing new products that qualify as in-process research and development in multiple product areas. For the purposes of determining which products qualified as in-process research and development,
technological feasibility is defined as being equivalent to completion of design verification testing when the design is finalized and ready for pilot manufacturing. Engineering efforts are focused on improving product performance, reducing product
form factors integrating multiple functions into single components and component integration into modules. Products that will incorporate in-process technologies include digital video deinterlacers and line doublers and integrated chips. Developing
and enhancing these products is time-consuming, costly and complex. There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications, and will not be competitive with other products using
alternative technologies that offer comparable functionality.





The value of $4.7 million assigned to in-process
research and development was determined by considering the importance of each project to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased in-process research and development into commercially viable products, estimating the
resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue estimates used to value the purchased in-process research and development were based on estimates of relevant market
sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by Sage and its competitors.





The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value were based on Sages weighted average cost of capital. Given the nature of the risks associated with the difficulties and
uncertainties in completing each project and thereby achieving technological feasibility, anticipated market acceptance and penetration, market growth rates and risks related to the impact of potential changes in future target markets, the weighted
average cost of capital was adjusted. Based on these factors, discount rates of 18%, 21.5%, and 25% were deemed appropriate for the acquired developed product technology, acquired core technology and in-process research and development,
respectively.





The estimates used in valuing acquired intangible assets were based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and no assurance can be given that unanticipated events and circumstances will not occur. Accordingly, actual results may vary from the
projected results. Any such variance may result in a material adverse effect on Genesis financial condition and results of operations.





A portion of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired developed product and acquired core technology and in-process research and development. Acquired developed product and acquired core
technology and in-process research and development were identified and valued through analysis of data provided by Sage concerning developmental products, their stage of development, the time and resources needed to complete them, if applicable,
their expected income generating ability, target markets and associated risks. The income approach, which includes an analysis of the markets, cash flows and risks associated with achieving such cash flows, was the primary technique utilized in
valuing the developed technology and in-process research and development.

Where developmental projects had reached technological feasibility,
they were classified as either acquired developed product technology or acquired core technology, and the value assigned was capitalized. Where the developmental projects had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative uses, they
were classified as in-process research and development and have been charged to expenses upon closing of the acquisition.





The intrinsic value of unvested options, totaling approximately $18.3 million, is being amortized to expense over the remaining term of the options, categorized in the statement of operations in accordance with the nature of the
service provided by the related employees. Amortization related to this business combination of $510,000 is included in research and development expense and $340,000 in selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended March 31, 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)







Genesis recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $18.3 million
for the year ended March 31, 2002 related to the acquisition of Sage (note 4). Genesis recorded no deferred stock-based compensation for the years March 31, 2001 or March 31, 2000. The amortization of deferred stock-based compensation is charged to
operations and is amortized over the vesting period of the options. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation was $970,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002, $86,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001, and $53,000 for the year ended March 31,
2000.





SFAS 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had Genesis adopted the
fair value method as of the beginning of its 1996 fiscal year. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair
value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from Genesis stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and
expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. Genesis calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using a dividend yield of 0% and the assumptions noted below in the table.

Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value of
awards at the grant dates in accordance with the methodology prescribed in SFAS 123, Genesis net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2002 would have decreased by approximately $20,069,000 or by $0.91 for basic earnings per share and by
$0.83 for diluted earnings per share. Net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2001 would have decreased by approximately $10,538,000 or by $0.54 for basic earnings per share and by $0.53 for diluted earnings per share. The net income and
earnings per share for fiscal 2000 would have decreased by approximately $9,557,000 or by $0.51 for basic earnings per share and by $0.49 for diluted earnings per share. The effects on pro forma disclosure of applying SFAS 123 are not likely to be
representative of the effects on pro forma disclosure in future years.





The weighted average fair values of
options granted during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000 are $22.21, $8.79, and $15.45, respectively.





12.    Restructuring





In connection with the acquisition of Sage (note

All costs related to restructuring have been or are expected to be paid prior to March 31, 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)







The valuation allowance decreased by $4,594,000 during the year ended
March 31, 2002 primarily as a result of recognizing the benefit of net operating losses. There was no change in the valuation allowance during the year ended March 31, 2001. The valuation allowance decreased during fiscal 2000 by $1,096,000,
primarily as a result of recognizing the benefit of net operating losses.





As of March 31, 2002, Genesis has tax
loss carry-forwards of $32,517,000 arising from stock option deductions, the benefit of which have not been recognized in these financial statements. The benefit from these deductions will be recorded as additional paid in capital when realized. A
benefit of $1,338,000 was realized in 2002 (2001 and 2000$0) from the application of stock option deduction expense and was credited directly to paid-in capital.





In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable
income uncertainties related to the industry in which Genesis operates and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, Genesis would need to generate future taxable income of approximately
$35,000,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry-forwards in the years 2008 to 2015. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods that the deferred tax assets are
deductible, management believes it is more likely than not Genesis will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

Material
legal proceedings





On March 14, 2002, Genesis filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Media Reality
Technologies, Inc. (MRT), SmartASIC Inc., and Trumpion Microelectronics, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that certain MRT, SmartASIC, and Trumpion products, which are sold as
video/graphics display controllers, infringe various claims of a Genesis U.S. patent. This patent has also been issued in Japan and Korea and is pending in Taiwan. As part of this lawsuit, Genesis is seeking monetary damages and a permanent
injunction that bars MRT, SmartASIC and Trumpion from making, using, importing, offering to sell, or selling the allegedly infringing products in the United States.





On April 24, 2001, Silicon Image, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Genesis in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and
simultaneously filed a complaint before the United States International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. The complaint and suit allege that all of Genesis products that contain digital receivers infringe on various claims of one of their
patents. Genesis believes the lawsuit and the complaint are baseless and without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against these claims. On December 7, 2001 Silicon Image, Inc. formally moved to withdraw its complaint before the United States
International Trade Commission and have terminated these proceedings. The trial to be held in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is scheduled to commence on January 20, 2003. The future financial impact of these
claims is not yet determinable and no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements for any future costs associated with these claims.





Supply agreements





Through March 31, 2002, only one
manufacturer produced each of Genesiss semiconductor products. Should a source of a product cease to be available, management believes that this would have a material adverse effect on Genesiss business, financial condition and results
of operations. Genesis has no guarantees of minimum capacity from its suppliers and is not liable for minimum purchase commitments.

17.    Related party transactions





Genesis won a public auction of the assets of VM Labs, Inc. that culminated in a federal Bankruptcy Court proceeding held on February 28, 2002 (the Auction) and Genesis closed the
transaction on March 22, 2002 (the Closing). Genesis acquired those assets for a price of $13.6 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. Three directors of Genesis had indirect interests in VM Labs as a result of their
relationship with VM Labss secured creditor. All three directors divested their interests prior to the Closing without realizing profit except for the receipt of accrued interest on their promissory notes, as described below.





One of the parties bidding at the Auction was Paradise IV, Inc., a secured creditor of VM Labs, Inc. Three directors of
Genesis, Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and Chandrashekar M. Reddy, had interests in Paradise IV. In November 2001, Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and C. M. Reddy had loaned $1,000,000, $750,000 and $400,000, respectively, to Paradise IV pursuant to promissory
notes due June 2002, which accrued interest at an annual rate of 6% and which included warrants to purchase 800,000 shares, 600,000 shares and 320,000 shares, respectively, of common stock of Paradise IV at a price of $.001 per share, representing a
total of 24.57% of the fully diluted equity interests in Paradise IV. Also, prior to the Auction, Mr. Lushtak was Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Paradise IV and owned 22.86% of the common stock of Paradise IV, which he acquired
for an aggregate of $1,600.





At the time that the Genesis Board began its evaluation of the VM Labs assets,
Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and C. M. Reddy disclosed their interests in Paradise IV to the Genesis Board and recused themselves from the evaluation of the VM Labs assets. On the date that the Genesis Board approved the submission of a bid in the
Auction, Mr. Lushtak resigned from his positions as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Paradise IV, and Paradise IV redeemed all of Mr. Lushtaks equity interest in Paradise IV at cost. Prior to the Closing, each of Messrs. Lushtak,
Diamond and C. M. Reddy (i) delivered his promissory note to Paradise IV for repayment of the face amount of such note plus accrued interest through the date of repayment and (ii) surrendered his warrant to Paradise IV for cancellation. None of
Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond or C. M. Reddy received any additional consideration for the cancellation of their notes or the surrender of their warrants.





In November 2001, Assured Space Access Corporation loaned $500,000 to Paradise IV, and received a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of Paradise IV, on similar terms as the notes and
warrants discussed above. Mr. Lushtak does not control Assured Space Access, although he and his wife together own approximately 13% of the equity in Assured Space Access, and Mr. Lushtak is a director of that company. Also in November 2001, Lushtak
Family Limited Partnership I loaned $500,000 to Paradise IV, and received a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of Paradise IV, on similar terms as the notes and warrants discussed above. The adult sons of Mr. Lushtak, none of whom
reside with him, are partners in the partnership. Mr. Lushtak does not have an economic interest in the partnership and does not control any voting rights or dispositive rights with respect to the partnership.

Transactions with Directors, Officers or Principal Stockholders:





VM Labs, Inc.





We won a public auction of the assets of VM Labs, Inc. that culminated in a federal Bankruptcy Court
proceeding held on February 28, 2002 (the Auction) and we closed the transaction on March 22, 2002 (the Closing). We acquired those assets for a price of $13.6 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. Three
of our directors had indirect interests in VM Labs as a result of their relationship with VM Labss secured creditor. All three directors divested their interests prior to the Closing without realizing profit except for the receipt of accrued
interest on their promissory notes, as described below.





One of the parties bidding at the Auction was Paradise
IV, Inc., a secured creditor of VM Labs, Inc. Three of our directors, Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and Chandrashekar M. Reddy, had interests in Paradise IV. In November 2001, Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and C. M. Reddy loaned $1,000,000, $750,000 and
$400,000, respectively, to Paradise IV pursuant to promissory notes due June 2002, which accrued interest at an annual rate of 6% and which included warrants to purchase 800,000 shares, 600,000 shares and 320,000 shares, respectively, of common
stock of Paradise IV at a price of $.001 per share, representing a total of 24.57% of the fully diluted equity interests in Paradise IV. Also, prior to the Auction, Mr. Lushtak was Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Paradise IV and
owned 22.86% of the common stock of Paradise IV, which he acquired for an aggregate of $1,600.

At the time that our board of directors began its evaluation of the VM Labs
assets, Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and C. M. Reddy disclosed their interests in Paradise IV to our board and recused themselves from the evaluation of the VM Labs assets. On the date that our board approved the submission of a bid in the Auction, Mr.
Lushtak resigned from his positions as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Paradise IV, and Paradise IV redeemed all of Mr. Lushtaks equity interest in Paradise IV at cost. Prior to the Closing, each of Messrs. Lushtak, Diamond and C. M.
Reddy (i) delivered his promissory note to Paradise IV for repayment of the face amount of such note plus accrued interest through the date of repayment and (ii) surrendered his warrant to Paradise IV for cancellation. None of Messrs. Lushtak,
Diamond or C. M. Reddy received any additional consideration for the cancellation of their notes or the surrender of their warrants.





In November 2001, Assured Space Access Corporation loaned $500,000 to Paradise IV, and received a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of Paradise IV, on similar terms as the notes and warrants discussed above.
Mr. Lushtak does not control Assured Space Access, although he and his wife together own approximately 13% of the equity in Assured Space Access, and Mr. Lushtak is a director of that company. Also in November 2001, Lushtak Family Limited
